Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology and relates to a photovoltaic power generation waste heat recovery device. Background Technology
[0002] Because photovoltaic (PV) panels experience significant temperature increases during summer operation due to the high ambient temperature and the panel's own temperature rise, reaching 80-100 degrees Celsius when the ambient temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, the power generation is severely affected. Experimental results indicate that the ideal temperature for solar panels is generally 25 degrees Celsius, at which point solar power generation efficiency is highest. Above 25 degrees Celsius, efficiency decreases. Current technologies typically use water inlet for heat dissipation and temperature control, utilizing the water flow to absorb heat and recover waste heat. However, the potential energy generated by the flowing water is not fully utilized, and the waste heat only serves to heat the water. Insulating the water tank requires additional heat or energy, making it difficult to achieve the goal of recycling waste heat and hydraulic power. This results in low energy utilization and limited practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a photovoltaic waste heat recovery device that overcomes these shortcomings.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a photovoltaic power generation waste heat recovery device includes a photovoltaic panel fixing bracket 1 and a photovoltaic panel 2. A waste heat absorption box 3 is provided between the photovoltaic panel fixing bracket 1 and the photovoltaic panel 2. A water storage tank 4 is installed on the top of the waste heat absorption box 3. A heat absorption water holding chamber 5 is provided inside the waste heat absorption box 3. A high flow rate channel 6 is provided between the heat absorption water holding chamber 5 and the water storage tank 4. A power recovery structure 7 is provided inside the high flow rate channel 6. An insulation structure 8 is provided around the water storage tank 4. A suction component is provided on the back of the waste heat absorption box 3 for drawing heat from the heat absorption water holding chamber 5 into the insulation structure 8. A shielding component 9 for opening or closing the opening of the high flow rate channel 6 and an energy storage drive component 10 for driving the shielding component 9 to rotate are provided inside the water storage tank 4. The energy storage drive component 10 is electrically connected to the power recovery structure 7.
[0026] In this embodiment, photovoltaic power generation is achieved through photovoltaic panel 2 during use. When the temperature of photovoltaic panel 2 rises, the heat enters the waste heat absorption box 3. The hot air can be drawn to the insulation structure 8 around the water storage tank 4 by the suction component. The insulation structure 8 keeps the water in the water storage tank 4 warm. The shielding component 9 is removed, thereby opening the opening between the heat absorption water chamber 5 and the high flow rate channel 6, allowing water to flow into the heat absorption water chamber 5. The water is then heated by the subsequent waste heat. When the water flows, it will simultaneously drive the power recovery structure 7 to rotate, thereby generating hydroelectric power. The generated electricity is input to the energy storage drive component 10. The energy storage drive component 10 is used to drive the shielding component 9 to automatically and cyclically utilize waste heat and hydroelectric power, saving energy and reducing emissions. The waste heat can be used for insulation on one hand and for heating water on the other, making it a multi-purpose and highly practical resource.
[0027] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, the power recovery structure 7 includes a rotating roller 11 disposed in the high flow rate channel 6. The rotating roller 11 is provided with a plurality of fan blades 12 arranged in a ring array along the center point of the rotating roller 11. A generator and a gear are fixed at the end of the rotating roller 11. The generator is electrically connected to the energy storage drive component 10.
[0028] Specifically, when water in the water storage tank 4 flows into the high-velocity channel 6, it will drive the fan blades 12 and the rotating roller 11 to rotate, thereby driving the gear to rotate synchronously. After the gear rotates, it generates induced electricity in the coil, which is input into the generator to generate electricity. The electricity is then input into the energy storage drive component 10 as a backup or emergency power source. Those skilled in the art should understand that the power generation mechanism here is similar to a hand-cranked generator. The internal structure and working principle of the generator are not the focus of this patent, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the high-velocity channel 6 is provided with a guide step 13 for guiding the water flow to the fan blade 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the guide step 13 can accurately deliver water flow to the fan blade 12 to drive the fan blade 12 to rotate.

[0032] In this embodiment, when hot water is needed, the shielding rotating plate 14 is moved away, opening the opening between the heat absorption water chamber 5 and the high flow rate channel 6. The rotating plate positioning component 15 can limit the position of the shielding rotating plate 14, preventing the shielding rotating plate 14 from shifting position.
[0033] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the rotating plate positioning component 15 includes a rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16 disposed in the water storage tank 4, the shielding rotating plate 14 is slidably engaged with the rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16, and the water storage tank 4 is provided with a rotating plate locking seat 17, the shielding rotating plate 14 is locked with the rotating plate locking seat 17.
[0034] In this embodiment, during the sliding process of the shielding rotating plate 14, the shielding rotating plate 14 and the rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16 slide together. The rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16 can limit the position of the shielding rotating plate 14 to prevent the shielding rotating plate 14 from shifting. The rotating plate snap-fit seat 17 can snap-fit and fix the shielding rotating plate 14, which has good stability and sealing.
[0035] The energy storage drive assembly 10 includes an energy storage motor 18 disposed at the end of the water storage tank 4. A turntable 19 is connected to the power shaft of the energy storage motor 18. The turntable 19 is connected to the shielding plate 14. The energy storage motor 18 is electrically connected to the generator.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the shielding rotating plate 14 needs to be moved, the energy storage motor 18 is started. The power shaft of the energy storage motor 18 drives the turntable 19 and the shielding rotating plate 14 to rotate synchronously. The degree of automation is high. The energy storage motor 18 is electrically connected to the generator, and the generated electricity can be input into the energy storage motor 18 for energy storage.
[0037] The heat preservation structure 8 includes a heat preservation shell 20 disposed around the water storage tank 4, and a heat preservation chamber 21 disposed inside the heat preservation shell 20. The suction component includes a heat extraction fan 22 disposed on the back of the waste heat absorption box 3, and the heat extraction fan 22 is connected to the heat preservation chamber 21 through an air pipe 23.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the photovoltaic panel 2 rises, the heat will enter the waste heat absorption box 3. The hot air can be drawn to the heat insulation chamber 21 outside the water storage tank 4 by the heat extraction fan 22, and the water in the water storage tank 4 will be kept warm by the heat insulation chamber 21.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, an exhaust channel 24 is provided between the waste heat absorption box 3 and the heat extraction fan 22. The exhaust channel 24 is provided with two sealing plates 25 that can move closer or further apart from each other. The waste heat absorption box 3 is provided with a linear actuator 26 for driving the sealing plates 25 to perform linear reciprocating motion.
[0040] In this embodiment, when heat extraction and heat preservation are required, the linear actuator 26 is activated, which drives the two sealing plates 25 to separate and extract the residual heat.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0042] During operation, photovoltaic power generation is achieved through photovoltaic panels 2. When the temperature of photovoltaic panels 2 rises, the heat enters the waste heat absorption box 3. The hot air is drawn to the insulation chamber 21 surrounding the water storage tank 4 by the heat extraction fan 22. The insulation chamber 21 keeps the water in the water storage tank 4 warm. The shielding plate 14 is removed, opening the opening between the heat absorption water chamber 5 and the high-flow-rate channel 6, allowing water to flow into the heat absorption water chamber 5. The water is then heated by the subsequent waste heat. When the water in the water storage tank 4 flows into the high-flow-rate channel 6, it drives the fan blades 12 and the rotating roller 11 to rotate, thereby driving the gears to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the gears generates induced electricity in the coil, which is input into the generator to generate electricity. The electricity is then input into the energy storage motor 18 as a backup or emergency power source.
[0043] The guide step 13 can precisely deliver the water flow to the fan blade 12 to drive the fan blade 12 to rotate.
[0044] During the sliding process of the shielding rotating plate 14, the shielding rotating plate 14 slides in conjunction with the rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16. The rotating plate positioning pressure frame 16 can limit the position of the shielding rotating plate 14 to prevent the shielding rotating plate 14 from shifting. The rotating plate locking seat 17 can lock and fix the shielding rotating plate 14, which has good stability and sealing performance.
[0045] When the shielding rotating plate 14 needs to be moved, the energy storage motor 18 is started. The power shaft of the energy storage motor 18 drives the turntable 19 and the shielding rotating plate 14 to rotate synchronously. The automation level is high. The energy storage motor 18 is electrically connected to the generator, so the generated electricity can be input into the energy storage motor 18 for energy storage.
[0046] When the temperature of the photovoltaic panel 2 rises, the heat will enter the waste heat absorption box 3. When heat extraction and insulation are required, the linear actuator 26 is activated, which drives the two sealing plates 25 to separate and extract the waste heat.
