Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, specifically a waterproof component for an energy storage device. Background Technology
[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) energy storage device combines solar panels with energy storage batteries. It generates electricity using sunlight and stores excess energy in the batteries for use when there is no sunlight. To minimize the impact of rainwater on PV energy storage devices, waterproof components are typically used for protection.
[0003] For example, the prior art application number 202320013190.5 provides a waterproof component for an energy storage device, which effectively waterproofs the energy storage device during use, preventing water damage during rainy weather and thus ensuring the service life of the energy storage device. It has good practicality.
[0004] Based on actual usage, the aforementioned prior art mainly provides waterproof protection for photovoltaic energy storage devices by covering them with two sets of water baffles. However, it has been found that the squeegee can only remove water stains from the surface of the water baffles. Rainwater from the initial rain still remains on the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device, and rainwater that remains on the photovoltaic energy storage device for a long time will still cause damage to it. The waterproof effect is not good, and the protection effect is not good. Therefore, based on actual usage, we have improved the aforementioned prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of this utility model. Such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0006] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or prior art, the present invention is proposed.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A waterproof component for an energy storage device includes a base plate with three sets of support rods mounted on the base plate. An inclined mounting frame is connected to the three sets of support rods, and a photovoltaic energy storage device is installed inside the mounting frame. Side plates are installed on both outer walls of the mounting frame, and waterproof plugs are slidably connected between adjacent side plates. A wiping layer is provided on the side of the waterproof plugs closest to the photovoltaic energy storage device, and a rain sensor is connected to the outer wall of the waterproof plugs.
[0009] A mounting box is installed on the lower surface of the mounting frame. A PLC controller is installed on the bottom wall of the mounting box, and an adjustment component is installed inside the mounting box to adjust the position of the waterproof blocking plate and the tilt direction of the wiping layer.
[0010] Furthermore: the adjustment component includes a waterproof housing located on the top wall of the fixed box, and a stepper motor is installed inside the waterproof housing. The output end of the stepper motor is connected to a lead screw, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box through a bearing. A threaded sleeve is threaded onto the lead screw.
[0011] Furthermore: A through groove is provided on the side of the fixing box near the waterproof blocking plate, and a connector is slidably connected in the through groove, with the two ends of the connector connected to the wiping layer and the threaded sleeve respectively.
[0012] Furthermore: Photovoltaic energy storage devices include photovoltaic modules and sheet-type energy storage batteries.
[0013] Furthermore, a water passage hole is provided at the end of the fixing box away from the waterproof shell.
[0014] Furthermore: the outer surface of the lead screw is coated with an anti-corrosion layer.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention uses a rain sensor to detect rain in real time. When it rains, the rain sensor sends a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then activates the stepper motor on the adjustment component. The stepper motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The threaded sleeve, which is threaded to the lead screw, is limited by the sliding contact with the through groove. The contact then moves the waterproof sealing plate, which covers the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device, thus providing waterproofing. Furthermore, the wiping layer can wipe away rainwater from the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device, preventing long-term rainwater accumulation and damage. The waterproofing effect is excellent, providing good protection for the photovoltaic energy storage device.

Example
[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof component for an energy storage device, including a base plate 1, three sets of support rods 8 mounted on the base plate 1, and an inclined mounting frame 2 connected to the three sets of support rods 8. A photovoltaic energy storage device 3 is housed within the mounting frame 2. Side plates 4 are mounted on both outer walls of the mounting frame 2, and waterproof blocking plates 5 are slidably connected between adjacent side plates 4. A wiping layer 6 is provided on the side of the waterproof blocking plate 5 closest to the photovoltaic energy storage device 3, and a rain sensor 7 is connected to the outer wall of the waterproof blocking plate 5. The photovoltaic energy storage device 3 is the subject of the prior art. The application number 202320013190.5 provides a photovoltaic energy storage component in a waterproof component of an energy storage device. This is an existing device, and the specific working principle and energy storage principle will not be described here. Before use, the electrical terminal of the stepper motor 13 is electrically connected to the electrical terminal of the PLC controller 10 through a wire. Three sets of support rods 8 support the mounting frame 2 and the photovoltaic energy storage device 3. The wiping layer 6 is a wiping and water-absorbing cloth. When the photovoltaic energy storage device 3 is in use, the photovoltaic energy storage device 3 is exposed to absorb sunlight and generate electricity.
[0029] A fixing box 9 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting frame 2. A PLC controller 10 is installed on the bottom wall of the fixing box 9. The fixing box 9 is equipped with an adjustment component for adjusting the tilt position of the waterproof blocking plate 5 and the wiping layer 6. The fixing box 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2. Rain sensor 7 can detect whether it is raining in real time. When there is rain, the rain sensor 7 sends a signal to the PLC controller 10. The PLC controller 10 makes the adjustment component work. The adjustment component drives the waterproof blocking plate 5 to move, so that the waterproof blocking plate 5 covers the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device 3, which plays a waterproof role. The wiping layer 6 can wipe the rainwater on the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device 3, avoiding the damage caused by rainwater covering the surface of the photovoltaic energy storage device 3 for a long time. The waterproof effect is good and the protection effect of the photovoltaic energy storage device is good.
[0030] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a waterproof housing 12, which is located on the top wall of the fixed box 9. A stepper motor 13 is installed inside the waterproof housing 12. The output end of the stepper motor 13 is connected to a lead screw 14. The other end of the lead screw 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 9 through a bearing. A threaded sleeve 15 is threaded onto the lead screw 14. The waterproof housing 12 provides protection for the stepper motor 13. The operation of the stepper motor 13 can drive the lead screw 14 to rotate forward or backward.
[0031] Preferably, the fixed box 9 has a through groove 16 on the side near the waterproof plug 5. A connector 11 is slidably connected in the through groove 16, and the two ends of the connector 11 are respectively connected to the wiping layer 6 and the threaded sleeve 15. The two ends of the connector 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 15 and the wiping layer 6 (fixedly connected to the waterproof plug 5). The operation of the stepper motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate forward or reverse. After the threaded sleeve 15, which is threaded to the lead screw 14, is slidably limited by the through groove 16 and the connector 11, the connector 11 can move back and forth in the through groove 16. The back and forth movement of the connector 11 drives the wiping layer 6 and the waterproof plug 5 to move back and forth.
[0032] Preferably, the photovoltaic energy storage device 3 includes photovoltaic modules and sheet-shaped energy storage batteries.
[0033] Preferably, a water passage hole is provided at the end of the fixed box 9 away from the waterproof shell 12; when rainwater enters the fixed box 9 through the through groove 16, the water passage hole can drain the rainwater in order to prevent the rainwater from corroding the screw rod 14 and other structures. Example
[0034] Reference Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the outer surface of the lead screw 14 is coated with an anti-corrosion layer; the anti-corrosion layer plays a protective role, preventing the lead screw 14 from rusting and corroding due to long-term contact with rainwater, avoiding affecting the normal transmission of the threaded sleeve 15, and improving the smoothness of the waterproof plug 5 when moving.
[0035] It should be noted that the electrical component of this utility model is used to organize the wire harness during operation, and will not cause the wire harness to become tangled.
[0036] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.
[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
