Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat panel cleaning technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of solar power generation, the number of outdoor solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is increasing. Accumulated dust over time reduces the solar irradiance of the panels, increases thermal resistance, causes localized overheating and chemical corrosion, significantly reducing power generation efficiency and affecting the lifespan and operational safety of the PV modules. Previously, cleaning PV panels was mainly done manually, which is inefficient and costly. Currently, intelligent cleaning systems are generally used, but in ultra-wide-distance PV panel arrays, problems such as difficulty in connecting the cleaning unit and bending deformation frequently occur. The industry currently adopts methods such as increasing the size of the cleaning unit's main structure and reinforcing the connectors, but this leads to difficulties in connecting the structure and increased costs. Furthermore, the increased weight of the structure increases the stress on the PV panel surface, causing greater vibration when the cleaning system passes through the panel joints, increasing the risk of microcracks in the PV panels.

[0041] A cavity is formed between the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13 and the external component mounting surface 14.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic panel cleaner structure is symmetrically arranged with a first tank 11 and a second tank 12. The first tank 11 and the second tank 12 have accommodating spaces. A photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13 is provided between the first tank 11 and the second tank 12 for installing the cleaning water system components of the photovoltaic panel cleaner. An external parts mounting surface 14 is also provided between the first tank 11 and the second tank 12 for installing various components of the photovoltaic panel cleaner. The external parts mounting surface 14 is arranged parallel to the cleaning water system mounting surface 13, and a cavity is formed between the two.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the first groove 11 includes:

[0044] First side panel;

[0045] A first top plate that is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to the first side plate;

[0046] The photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13 is parallel to the first top plate and is at a preset distance from the first top plate; the width of the first top plate is smaller than the width of the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first tank 11 includes a first side plate and a first top plate. The photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13 is parallel to the first top plate and is at a preset distance from the first top plate. The width of the first top plate is smaller than the width of the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13, so that an opening is left at the first top plate to facilitate the installation of the components.

[0048] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the second groove 12 includes:

[0049] Second side panel;

[0050] The second top plate is vertically and fixedly connected to the second side plate;

[0051] The photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13 is parallel to the second top plate and is at a preset distance from the second top plate; the width of the second top plate is smaller than the width of the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system mounting surface 13.

[0052] An installation space for the photovoltaic panel clean water system is formed between the photovoltaic panel clean water system mounting surface 13 and the first top plate and the second top plate.

[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the second tank 12 includes a second side plate and a second top plate.

The air layers in the honeycomb structure effectively block the transmission of heat and sound, resulting in excellent performance during operation and making it suitable for environments requiring quiet and energy efficiency. The multi-wall arrangement and continuous mesh structure of the honeycomb structure can disperse external forces, enhance compressive strength, and effectively resist extrusion and lateral forces. Simultaneously, aluminum alloys possess advantages such as lightweight and high strength, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and heat dissipation, high machinability, high environmental friendliness, fire and moisture resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

[0066] In one optional embodiment of the present invention, at least two nozzles 4 are fixedly installed on the first side plate and / or the second side plate.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, at least two nozzles 4 are fixedly installed on the first side plate and / or the second side plate for discharging water from the cleaning water pipe onto the photovoltaic panel for cleaning operations.

[0068] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, at least one water pipe 6 is provided on the mounting surface 13 of the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system, and the water pipe is connected to the nozzle 4.

[0069] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, at least one water pipe 6 is provided on the mounting surface 13 of the photovoltaic panel cleaning water system. The water pipe 6 has an interface at the position where it passes through the nozzle 4, so that the water pipe is connected to the nozzle 4.
