Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to a photoelectric complementary air conditioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic-integrated air conditioning equipment is an innovative device that integrates photovoltaic power generation and air conditioning systems. It aims to utilize solar photovoltaic power generation technology to provide electricity for the air conditioning system, thereby improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and achieving environmental protection. Its core feature lies in integrating photovoltaic panels and air conditioning equipment, allowing the air conditioner to prioritize the use of photovoltaic power for operation, with any remaining power supplied by the grid or other energy sources. For example, the Deye Solar grid-connected solar air conditioner DSPD1-ACDC-11R2 / 15R2 / 17R2 achieves seamless switching between photovoltaic power generation and grid power, prioritizing the use of photovoltaic power; it eliminates the traditional inverter, reducing production costs; and it eliminates the need for batteries, enabling direct access to dual power sources and reducing the environmental impact of batteries.
[0003] However, cleaning the photovoltaic (PV) panels during the use of solar air conditioners is a significant challenge. The primary function of PV panels is to convert sunlight into electricity. Their efficiency is highly dependent on the intensity and uniformity of sunlight received by the panel surface. Dirt, dust, or other contaminants on the PV panel surface directly affect the light transmittance, thus reducing the panel's power output efficiency. After installation, PV panels are exposed to the outdoor environment for extended periods, facing natural factors such as wind, sand, rain, and industrial pollution. Dust, leaves, bird droppings, and other dirt adhere to the PV panel surface, increasing the difficulty of cleaning and potentially causing localized overheating due to dirt accumulation, thus reducing the long-term lifespan of the PV panels. According to the basic principles of photovoltaic power generation, the output power of a PV panel is positively correlated with its effective area for receiving sunlight. When dust accumulates, sunlight is partially blocked, leading to a significant decrease in sunlight utilization. This phenomenon is unavoidable during the operation of photovoltaic power generation equipment. Therefore, solar panels used in air conditioning systems need to be cleaned regularly to ensure their efficient operation. Meanwhile, in high-temperature and dry environments, moisture evaporates quickly, causing watermarks or stains to solidify on the surface of photovoltaic panels, making cleaning more difficult. For photovoltaic panels located in high-rise buildings or areas with significant tilt angles, the difficulty of cleaning and safety hazards increase exponentially. These factors collectively contribute to the increased maintenance costs and manual cleaning burden of photovoltaic air conditioning systems in actual operation.
[0004] In view of this, we propose an air conditioning device that is complementary to photoelectric technology. Utility Model Content

It also addresses the difficulties in cleaning and the need for regular maintenance, which increases the maintenance costs during use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A photovoltaic-integrated air conditioning device includes an air conditioning unit and a photovoltaic panel, wherein the photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to the air conditioning unit, and a cleaning mechanism is provided on the photovoltaic panel, the cleaning mechanism comprising:
[0008] A drive motor is fixedly connected to a photovoltaic panel. A reciprocating lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. A guide rod is provided on the photovoltaic panel. A cleaning sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod. The inner wall of the cleaning sleeve is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw. A corrugated strip is fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel. A cleaning component is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeve. The cleaning component and the cleaning sleeve are elastically connected by a spring. One end of a telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the drive motor. The other end of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to a connecting head block. The connecting head block is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning sleeve. One end of an output pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting head block. The other end of the output pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeve. A through hole is provided on the inner wall of the connecting head block.

A blocking block is fixedly connected to the top of the trapezoidal block, located at the top of the through hole on the inner wall of the connecting head block.
[0009] Preferably, an adjustment mechanism is provided between the photovoltaic panel and the air conditioning equipment. The adjustment mechanism includes a vertical guide rail, a bottom connecting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical guide rail, one end of a support rod is hinged to the bottom connecting block, the other end of the support rod is hinged to a top connecting block, the top connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the photovoltaic panel, and the vertical guide rail is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air conditioning equipment.
[0010] Preferably, the vertical guide rail is provided with through holes arranged in an array, and the vertical guide rail and the bottom connecting block are positioned by positioning bolts, with the through holes on the vertical guide rail for the positioning bolts to pass through.
[0011] Preferably, a sponge is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning sleeve, and the sponge on the cleaning sleeve is used to absorb water.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the cleaning sleeve has raised arc-shaped blocks, which are used to reciprocate under the action of springs when they abut against the corrugated strip.
[0013] Preferably, the output pipe is located at the top of the cleaning component, and the output pipe is used to provide water to facilitate cleaning of the cleaning component.
[0014] Preferably, a connecting rod is provided between the blocking block and the trapezoidal block, and the connecting rod between the blocking block and the trapezoidal block is connected to the piston of the connecting head block.
[0015] By means of the above technical solution, this utility model provides an air conditioning device that is photoelectric complementary.
[0016] It has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model incorporates a cleaning mechanism. When the drive motor is turned on, it drives the cleaning sleeve to move back and forth via a reciprocating screw. The cleaning sleeve drives the cleaning component to move back and forth for cleaning. At the same time, the cleaning component moves back and forth longitudinally under the action of the spring and the wave strip, thereby effectively removing dirt, dust and pollutants from the surface of the photovoltaic panel.
[0018] 2. This utility model incorporates an adjustment mechanism that rotates the photovoltaic panel relative to the air conditioning equipment to a suitable position. At this point, the photovoltaic panel drives the bottom connecting block, support rod, and top connecting block to move together, causing the bottom connecting block to slide up and down on the vertical guide rail. Then, positioning bolts are used for positioning and fixing. By adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel, the photovoltaic panel's reception of sunlight can be maximized, ensuring its optimal power generation efficiency, thereby providing power to the air conditioning equipment more efficiently.
[0019] 3. This utility model incorporates a cleaning mechanism. When the corrugated strip abuts against the cleaning component, the cleaning component compresses the trapezoidal block, causing the trapezoidal block to move the blocking block upwards. This prevents the blocking block from blocking the through hole in the connector block, allowing the telescopic pipe to connect to tap water. The tap water in the telescopic pipe enters the cleaning sleeve through the connector block and the output pipe, wetting the cleaning component. The introduction of water allows for better dissolution or softening of stains during the cleaning process, especially for difficult-to-clean contaminants such as oil stains, leaves, and bird droppings. The wet cleaning component can effectively grab and remove these stains. When cleaning is no longer needed, the cleaning component is moved to the sides where it no longer abuts against the corrugated strip, preventing it from contacting the trapezoidal block. The spring then moves the blocking block downwards to block the through hole in the connector block, avoiding waste of water resources or unnecessary water consumption. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic complementary air conditioning device, including an air conditioning device 1 and a photovoltaic panel 2, the photovoltaic panel 2 and the air conditioning device 1 being rotatably connected. A cleaning mechanism 4 is provided on the photovoltaic panel 2, the cleaning mechanism 4 including: a drive motor 41, the drive motor 41 being fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 2, a reciprocating lead screw 42 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 41, a guide rod 43 being provided on the photovoltaic panel 2, a cleaning sleeve 44 being slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 43, the inner wall of the cleaning sleeve 44 being threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 42, a corrugated strip 45 being fixedly connected to the photovoltaic panel 2, and a cleaning component 46 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeve 44, the cleaning component 46 being connected to the cleaning... The cleaning sleeves 44 are elastically connected by springs. One end of the telescopic tube 47 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 41. The other end of the telescopic tube 47 is fixedly connected to the connecting head block 48. The connecting head block 48 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning sleeves 44. One end of the output pipe 49 is fixedly connected to the connecting head block 48. The other end of the output pipe 49 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeves 44. A through hole is provided on the inner wall of the connecting head block 48. A trapezoidal block 410 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeves 44 by springs. The trapezoidal block 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning sleeves 44. A blocking block 411 is fixedly connected to the top of the trapezoidal block 410. The blocking block 411 is located at the top of the through hole on the inner wall of the connecting head block 48.
[0030] An adjustment mechanism 3 is provided between the photovoltaic panel 2 and the air conditioning equipment 1. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a vertical guide rail 31. A bottom connecting block 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical guide rail 31. One end of a support rod 34 is hinged to the bottom connecting block 32. The other end of the support rod 34 is hinged to a top connecting block 35. The top connecting block 35 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the photovoltaic panel 2. The vertical guide rail 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air conditioning equipment 1. The vertical guide rail 31 is provided with through holes arranged in an array. The vertical guide rail 31 and the bottom connecting block 32 are positioned by a positioning bolt 33. The through holes on the vertical guide rail 31 are used for the positioning bolt 33 to pass through.
[0031] The inner wall of the cleaning sleeve 44 is provided with a sponge for absorbing water. The outer wall of the cleaning sleeve 44 has a raised arc-shaped block for reciprocating under the action of a spring when it contacts the wave strip 45. The output pipe 49 is located at the top of the cleaning component 46 and is used to provide water for cleaning the cleaning component 46. A connecting rod is provided between the blocking block 411 and the trapezoidal block 410. The connecting rod between the blocking block 411 and the trapezoidal block 410 is connected to the piston of the connecting head block 48.
[0032] In use, the photovoltaic complementary air conditioning device of this utility model rotates the photovoltaic panel 2 relative to the air conditioning device 1 to a suitable position. At this time, the photovoltaic panel 2 drives the bottom connecting block 32, the support rod 34, and the top connecting block 35 to move together, so that the bottom connecting block 32 slides up and down on the vertical guide rail 31. Then, the positioning bolt 33 is used to fix it in place. By adjusting the angle of the photovoltaic panel 2, the photovoltaic panel 2 can maximize the reception of sunlight and ensure its optimal power generation efficiency, thereby providing power to the air conditioning device 1 more efficiently.
[0033] Then, when cleaning is required, the drive motor 41 is turned on, which drives the cleaning sleeve 44 to move back and forth through the reciprocating screw 42. The cleaning sleeve 44 drives the cleaning component 46 to move back and forth for cleaning. At this time, the cleaning component 46 moves back and forth longitudinally under the action of the spring and the wave strip 45, thereby effectively removing dirt, dust and pollutants from the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2.
[0034] At the same time, when the corrugated strip 45 abuts against the cleaning component 46, the cleaning component 46 squeezes the trapezoidal block 410, causing the trapezoidal block 410 to drive the blocking block 411 upward, so that the blocking block 411 no longer blocks the through hole in the connector block 48, allowing the telescopic pipe 47 to be connected to tap water. The tap water in the telescopic pipe 47 enters the cleaning sleeve 44 through the connector block 48 and the output pipe 49, making the cleaning component 46 wet. The introduction of water allows the stains to be dissolved or softened better during the cleaning process, especially the pollutants that are not easy to clean, such as oil stains, leaves and bird droppings. The wet cleaning component 46 can effectively grab and remove these dirt.
[0035] When cleaning is not required, the cleaning component 46 is moved to the sides of the corrugated strip 45 so that the cleaning component 46 no longer touches the trapezoidal block 410. The spring drives the blocking block 411 downward to block the through hole in the connector block 48, thus avoiding waste of water resources or unnecessary water consumption.
