Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, and more specifically to a solar-powered automatic snow melting device. Background Technology

[0002] A solar panel is a device that generates electricity by absorbing sunlight. It mainly consists of a set of photovoltaic cells, which convert photons from sunlight into electrical current, thus producing electricity. Solar panels are the core component of a solar power generation system.

[0003] Surveillance cameras can capture and monitor images of designated areas. To save energy, solar panels are installed to power the cameras. However, in some areas, heavy snow in winter can cover the surface of the solar panels, affecting their ability to receive solar energy and thus reducing their conversion efficiency. This requires manual cleaning. Since some surveillance cameras are installed at high locations, manual cleaning requires the use of ladders or long poles, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model includes a first snow-melting component and a second snow-melting component. The PCBA main board sends signals to the heating resistance wire and the fan body.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The solar-powered automatic snow melting device involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a solar-powered automatic snow melting device, including a monitoring camera 1 and a bracket 2. An energy storage control component 3 is installed on the top of the bracket 2. A first snow melting component 4 is installed on the top of the energy storage control component 3. A second snow melting component 5 is installed on the right side of the first snow melting component 4. A solar panel 6 is installed on the top of the first snow melting component 4. A photoresistor 7 is installed on the right side of the top of the solar panel 6. The first snow melting component 4 includes a heating frame 401. A heating resistance wire 402 is installed on the inner side of the heating frame 401. An air inlet frame 403 is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the heating frame 401. The second snow melting component 5 includes a U-shaped frame 501 fixedly connected to the right side of the heating frame 401. A temperature sensor 505 is installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 501. A fan cavity 511 is opened on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 501. A fan body 504 is installed on the inner side of the fan cavity 511.

[0022] In this embodiment, the photoresistor 7 is a component whose resistance changes with light intensity. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect of semiconductors, a common existing technology, which will not be elaborated upon here. The solar panel 6 supplies power to the battery 303 via the PCBA motherboard 304, thereby maintaining the long-term operation of the monitoring camera 1. When a large amount of snow accumulates on the surface of the solar panel 6, the snow will also cover the photoresistor 7, reducing the light intensity received by the photoresistor 7. Simultaneously, based on the image acquisition of the external environment by the monitoring camera 1, the brightness of the light can be determined, thus determining whether it is daytime or nighttime. When the monitoring camera 1 detects that the environment is at normal daytime light intensity, it indicates that the solar panel 7 is operating normally. Snow accumulates on the top of solar panel 6 and photoresistor 7. At this time, PCBA main board 304 sends a signal to heating resistance wire 402 and fan body 504. Heating resistance wire 402 can heat the air inside heating frame 401. At the same time, the temperature of heating frame 401 rises and melts the snow on the top of solar panel 6. Fan body 504 can accelerate air flow. Outside air enters the interior of heating frame 401, is heated by heating resistance wire 402, and then enters the interior of U-shaped frame 501. Finally, hot air is blown out through fan frame 502, which also achieves the purpose of melting the snow on the surface of solar panel 6. This ensures that solar panel 6 can continuously convert solar energy into electrical energy.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the energy storage control component 3 includes an outer shell 301 that is bolted to the top of the bracket 2. A battery 303 and a PCBA main board 304 are installed on the inner side of the outer shell 301. A photoresistor 7, a fan body 504, a temperature sensor 505, a heating resistance wire 402, and a monitoring camera 1 are all electrically connected to the PCBA main board 304. A solar panel 6 and a monitoring camera 1 are both electrically connected to the battery 303.

[0024] The photoresistor 7 can monitor the intensity of external light and transmit the information to the PCBA main board 304 for analysis and processing. The PCBA main board 304 can control the start and stop of the fan body 504 and the heating resistance wire 402. The temperature sensor 505 can monitor the air temperature inside the heating frame 401 and transmit the monitored temperature information to the PCBA main board 304. When the temperature is too high, the heating resistance wire 402 stops working to avoid damage to the solar panel 6 due to excessive temperature.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a heat insulation plate 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell 301, and the heat insulation plate 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating frame 401. The heat insulation plate 302 is made of polyurethane foam material.

[0026] Polyurethane foam material has an extremely low thermal conductivity, which can prevent the high temperature of the first snow melting component 4 from damaging the battery 303 and PCBA motherboard 304.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a blower frame 502 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the U-shaped frame 501, and an air guide plate 503 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the blower frame 502.

[0028] The air guide plate 503 can guide the hot air blown out by the air blower frame 502, so that the hot air can be blown evenly on the surface of the solar panel 6, thereby improving the snow melting efficiency.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped plate 506 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the inner wall and the right side of the bottom of the inner wall of the fan cavity 511.

[0030] The curved plate 506 can effectively guide the direction of airflow, optimize the distribution of airflow, and make the hot airflow more stable.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a large amount of snow accumulates on the surface of the solar panel 6, the snow will also cover the photoresistor 7, reducing the light intensity received by the photoresistor 7. At the same time, the brightness of the light can be determined by the image acquisition of the external environment by the monitoring camera 1, and then it can be determined whether it is day or night. When the monitoring camera 1 detects that the environment is under normal daytime light intensity, it means that snow has accumulated on the top of the solar panel 6 and the photoresistor 7. At this time, the PCBA main board 304 sends a signal to the heating resistance wire 402 and the fan body 504. The heating resistance wire 402 can heat the air inside the heating frame 401. At the same time, the temperature of the heating frame 401 rises, which can melt the snow on the top of the solar panel 6. The fan body 504 can accelerate the air flow. The outside air enters the interior of the heating frame 401, is heated by the heating resistance wire 402, and then enters the interior of the U-shaped frame 501. Finally, the hot air is blown out by the blower frame 502, which also achieves the purpose of melting the snow on the surface of the solar panel 6. In this way, the solar panel 6 can continuously convert solar energy into electrical energy.
