Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar energy technology, specifically to a distributed solar energy system. Background Technology

[0002] Distributed solar power refers to the process of converting solar energy into electricity using photovoltaic technology, which is distributed across multiple geographical locations rather than concentrated in a single large-scale power plant. Distributed solar power generation systems are typically built on rooftops, open spaces, parking lot roofs, and other locations near users to improve energy efficiency, reduce transmission losses, alleviate pressure on centralized power supply systems, and enhance the stability and resilience of the power grid.

[0003] Existing solar energy systems generally use solar panels to collect solar energy and convert it into electricity. However, solar panels are always placed on the surface of a support, making them susceptible to erosion and immersion by rainwater during rainy days. Although solar panels are usually designed to be waterproof to ensure they are not damaged by rain, prolonged immersion in rainwater or large amounts of water accumulation during extreme weather can still cause potential damage to the solar panels. Therefore, this invention aims to provide a distributed solar energy system that can reduce rainwater accumulation on solar panels during heavy rain. Utility Model Content

The top of the driving sleeve is provided with four hinge seats 2 spaced apart along its circumference. Each of the four hinge seats 2 is hinged with a connecting rod. A hinge seat 3 is sleeved on the shaft column and is hinged to the free end of the connecting rod.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a rain measuring mechanism for collecting rainwater, and when the collected rainwater reaches a predetermined collecting value, controlling the drive mechanism to drive the shaft column to move relative to the guide rod to reduce the angle between the shaft column and the guide rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a distributed solar energy system with the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a drive mechanism to drive the shaft column to move relative to the guide rod, thereby reducing the angle between the shaft column and the guide rod, which in turn causes the solar panel to tilt, thereby reducing the tilt angle of the solar panel, thus reducing the accumulation of water and dirt on the solar panel, and improving the power generation efficiency and service life of the solar panel.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a technical solution is provided: a distributed solar energy system, including a base 1; a guide rod 2, which is disposed on the base 1, and four hinge seats 3 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the top of the guide rod 2, each of the four hinge seats 3 is hinged with a hinge rod 5, and two oppositely arranged triangular solar panels 6 are rotatably disposed on each of the four hinge rods 5, and the solar panels 6 on each pair of hinge rods 5 are rotatably disposed on a shaft 7; and a driving mechanism 8, used to drive the shaft 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2, so as to increase or decrease the angle between the shaft 7 and the guide rod 2.

[0027] In the distributed solar energy system with the above structure, during rain, the user drives the shaft column 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2 via the drive mechanism 8, thereby reducing the angle between the shaft column 7 and the guide rod 2. This causes the solar panel 6 to tilt, reducing the tilt angle of the solar panel 6 and thus reducing the accumulation of water and dirt on the solar panel 6, improving the power generation efficiency and lifespan of the solar panel 6. When the weather is sunny and there is plenty of sunlight, the user can reverse the operation of the drive mechanism 8 to increase the angle between the shaft column 7 and the guide rod 2, so that the solar panel 6 faces the sunlight and achieves the optimal light angle, thereby maximizing the absorption of solar energy and improving the conversion efficiency of solar energy.

[0028] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 8 includes a drive sleeve 10, which is movably sleeved on the guide rod 2. The bottom of the drive sleeve 10 is connected to the output end of the electric push rod 11. The top of the drive sleeve 10 is provided with four hinge seats 2 4 spaced apart along its circumference. Each of the four hinge seats 2 4 is hinged with a connecting rod 12. A hinge seat 3 13 is sleeved on the shaft column 7. The hinge seat 3 13 is hinged to the free end of the connecting rod 12. When the user needs to tilt the solar panel 6, firstly, the electric push rod 11 drives the drive sleeve 10 to move downward. The movement of the drive sleeve 10 will drive the connecting rod 12 to move, and then drive the shaft column 7 to move, so that the angle between the shaft column 7 and the guide rod 2 is reduced. At this time, the angle between the hinge rod 5 and the guide rod 2 will also be reduced, thereby causing the solar panel 6 on the hinge rod 5 and the shaft column 7 to tilt, so that the rainwater accumulated on the solar panel 6 falls down the inclined surface of the solar panel 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, a rain measuring mechanism 9 is also included, which is used to collect rainwater. When the amount of rainwater collected reaches a predetermined collection value, the drive mechanism 8 is controlled to drive the shaft 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2, thereby reducing the angle between the shaft 7 and the guide rod 2. The rain measuring mechanism 9 is also adapted to leak rainwater. When the amount of rainwater collected is less than the predetermined collection value, the drive mechanism 8 is controlled to drive the shaft 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2, thereby increasing the angle between the shaft 7 and the guide rod 2. During rain, the rain measuring mechanism 9 collects rainwater, and when the amount of rainwater collected reaches the predetermined collection value, the drive mechanism 8 is controlled to drive the shaft 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2. 2. The movement reduces the angle between the shaft column 7 and the guide rod 2, thereby causing the hinge rod 5 and the solar panel 6 on the shaft column 7 to tilt, so that the rainwater accumulated on the solar panel 6 falls down the slope of the solar panel 6. After the rain stops, the rainwater in the rain measuring mechanism 9 will gradually leak out. When the amount of rainwater collected is less than the predetermined collection value, the rain measuring mechanism 9 will control the drive mechanism 8 to drive the shaft column 7 to move relative to the guide rod 2, so as to increase the angle between the shaft column 7 and the guide rod 2, so that the solar panel 6 faces the sunlight and reaches the optimal light angle, thereby maximizing the absorption of solar energy and improving the conversion efficiency of solar energy.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rain measuring mechanism 9 includes a rain measuring bottle 14, which is movably penetrated by a rain measuring column 15. A spring 21 is provided inside the rain measuring bottle 14, and the spring 21 elastically abuts against the rain measuring column 15. A conductive ring 16 is provided at the bottom of the rain measuring column 15, and a conductive ring 17 is provided inside the rain measuring bottle 14. The conductive ring 17 is connected to the electric push rod 11 via a controller. A rain-collecting part 18 is provided at the top of the rain measuring column 15, and a rain-draining hole 19 is provided at the bottom of the rain-collecting part 18. When it rains, rainwater will gradually fall into the rain-collecting part 18 and slowly flow out from the rain-draining hole 19. As more and more rainwater accumulates in the rain-collecting part 18, the rain measuring column 15 will gradually press down the spring 21. When the water in the rain-collecting part 18 reaches a predetermined level, the rain-collecting column 15 will gradually press down the spring 21. When the rain is stopped, the rain measuring column 15 will press the spring 21 downwards to the bottom of the rain measuring bottle 14 until the conductive ring 16 on the rain measuring column 15 contacts the conductive ring 17 inside the rain measuring bottle 14. At this time, the circuit is connected, and the controller receives the signal that the conductive ring 16 and the conductive ring 17 are in contact. Subsequently, the controller sends a command to the electric push rod 11 to start working. After the rain stops, as the rainwater gradually flows out from the rain hole 19, when the rainwater decreases to less than the predetermined receiving value, the spring 21 begins to gradually push the rain measuring column 15 upwards until the conductive ring 16 and the conductive ring 17 separate, and the circuit is broken. At this time, the controller receives the signal again and controls the electric push rod 11 to work in the opposite direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, a guide post 20 is provided inside the rain measuring bottle 14, and the guide post 20 moves through the rain measuring column 15; when the rain measuring column 15 moves, it will move along the guide post 20, which improves the stability of the rain measuring column 15 when it moves.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rain-collecting part 18 is detachably connected to the rain-measuring column 15; when the user needs to replace or maintain the rain-collecting part 18, the detachable nature makes it convenient for the user to replace or maintain the rain-collecting part 18.

[0033] Working principle: During rain, rainwater gradually falls into the rain-collecting part 18 and slowly flows out from the rain-draining hole 19. As the rainwater accumulates in the rain-collecting part 18, the rain-measuring column 15 gradually presses down on the spring 21. When the water in the rain-collecting part 18 reaches the predetermined receiving value, the rain-measuring column 15 presses the spring 21 downwards to the bottom of the rain-measuring bottle 14 until the conductive ring 16 on the rain-measuring column 15 contacts the conductive ring 17 inside the rain-measuring bottle 14. At this time, the circuit is connected, and the controller receives the signal that the conductive ring 16 and the conductive ring 17 are in contact. Subsequently, the controller sends a command to the electric push rod 11, causing the electric push rod 11 to drive the drive sleeve 10 downwards. The movement of the drive sleeve 10 will drive the connecting rod 12 to move, which in turn will drive the shaft 7 to move, reducing the angle between the shaft 7 and the guide rod 2. At this time, the hinge rod 5 and the guide rod 2... The angle between them will also decrease, causing the solar panel 6 on the hinge rod 5 and the shaft column 7 to tilt, so that the rainwater accumulated on the solar panel 6 falls down the slope of the solar panel 6. After the rain stops, as the rainwater gradually flows out from the rain hole 19, when the rainwater decreases to less than the predetermined receiving value, the spring 21 begins to gradually push the rain measuring column 15 upward until the conductive ring 16 and the conductive ring 27 separate, the circuit is broken. At this time, the controller receives the signal again and controls the electric push rod 11 to work in the opposite direction, so that the solar panel 6 faces the sunlight and achieves the optimal light angle. When the rain measuring column 15 moves, it will move along the guide column 20, which improves the stability of the rain measuring column 15 when it moves. When the user needs to replace or maintain the rain part 18, it is convenient to replace or maintain the rain part 18 by means of a detachable design.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
