Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carport technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic structure carport for outdoor parking lots. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic carport is a facility that combines a solar photovoltaic power generation system with a carport structure. It is typically used in outdoor locations such as parking lots, car charging stations, and logistics centers. By installing solar photovoltaic panels on the top of the carport, it converts solar energy into electrical energy to charge vehicles or connect them to the power grid, while also providing shade and rain protection for the vehicles.

[0003] In existing technologies, outdoor parking lots are places where vehicles frequently enter and exit. The movement of vehicles raises a lot of dust, and in windy weather, the airflow accelerates the spread of dust, making it easier for dust particles to accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic panels. Moreover, existing photovoltaic panels lack cleaning structures. After long-term accumulation of dust on the surface of photovoltaic panels, a physical shading layer is formed, which prevents sunlight from directly hitting the solar cells, resulting in a decrease in light energy conversion efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the photovoltaic structure of outdoor parking lots to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a photovoltaic structure carport for an outdoor parking lot, including a carport 1, a first hinge seat 21, and an adjustment mechanism. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the carport 1. The first hinge seat 21 is fixedly connected to the left side of the carport 1. A connecting frame 22 is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat 21. A positioning frame 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 22 away from the first hinge seat 21. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the tilt angle of the positioning frame 23 is provided between the positioning frame 23 and the carport 1. A mounting frame 24 is fixedly connected inside the positioning frame 23. A photovoltaic panel body 25 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 24. A slider 26 is slidably connected to the positioning frame 23. A positioning plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 26. A slidably connected component is mounted on the positioning plate 27. The slide bar 28 has a rubber scraper 29 fixedly connected to its bottom for scraping dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25. The circuitry, charging port, and battery pack components inside the support frame 4 are well-known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail here. The connecting frame 22 rotates around the connection point of the first hinge seat 21, driving the positioning frame 23. The photovoltaic panel body 25 is fixed inside the positioning frame 23 by bolts connected to the mounting frame 24. The photovoltaic panel body 25 receives sunlight and converts solar energy into electrical energy. The slider 26 slides, driving the positioning plate 27. The positioning plate 27, through the slide bar 28, drives the rubber scraper 29, causing the rubber scraper 29 to scrape away dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25, preventing dust accumulation and positioning. The frame 23 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the slider 26, and the slider 26 slides inside the matching groove. The groove guides and limits the slider 26, making the slider 26 rotate smoothly and not follow the rotation of the first threaded rod 213. Both the canopy 1 and the first hinge seat 21 have guide grooves for guiding rainwater, and the guide grooves are distributed from front to back on the canopy 1 and the first hinge seat 21. The guide grooves guide the rainwater evenly to the left, so that it can be discharged from the left side smoothly and avoid obstruction and accumulation. A spring 210 is fixedly connected between the rubber scraper 29 and the positioning plate 27. A motor frame 211 is fixedly connected to the front of the positioning frame 23. A drive motor 212 is fixedly connected inside the motor frame 211. The output end of the drive motor 212 is fixed. A first threaded rod 213 is connected to a positioning frame 23. Driven by a spring 210, the rubber scraper 29 remains in contact with the photovoltaic panel body 25, resulting in more thorough and effective cleaning of dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25. The first threaded rod 213 also increases the contact area between the rubber scraper 29 and the photovoltaic panel body 25. The positioning frame 23 has a limiting hole at a corresponding position on the first threaded rod 213, and the first threaded rod 213 rotates within this hole. A slider 26 is threaded to the outside of the first threaded rod 213, allowing for smooth rotation of the first threaded rod 213. This ensures a stable drive of the slider 26 by the first threaded rod 213, preventing the slider 26 from jamming due to tilting of the first threaded rod 213.Ensure work efficiency.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a positioning ring 31, which is rotatably connected to the carport 1. A threaded cylinder 32 is rotatably connected inside the positioning ring 31, and an external hexagonal ring 33 is fixedly connected to the outside of the threaded cylinder 32. A second threaded rod 34 is threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder 32. A connecting block 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the second threaded rod 34 away from the positioning ring 31. A second connecting seat 36 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 35 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame 23. The adjustment mechanism utilizes the threaded cylinder 32 in conjunction with the second threaded rod 34. The tilt of the photovoltaic panel body 25 can be flexibly adjusted so that the photovoltaic panel body 25 is at the optimal tilt angle for better photovoltaic operation. The carport 1 has movable grooves at the corresponding positions of the positioning ring 31 and the threaded cylinder 32 to avoid path conflict. The positioning ring 31 and the threaded cylinder 32 are set inside the movable grooves. The movable grooves provide sufficient space for the threaded cylinder 32 and the positioning ring 31 to move, avoiding conflict between the tilt path of the threaded cylinder 32 and the positioning ring 31 and the carport 1 during adjustment, so that the adjustment of the threaded cylinder 32 and the positioning ring 31 is stable.

[0024] During operation, the support frame 4 can be installed in a suitable position via the connector. Rainwater can be guided through the guide groove between the canopy 1 and the first hinge seat 21. Twisting the outer hexagonal ring 33 drives the threaded cylinder 32, which rotates to screw out or into the second threaded rod 34. The second threaded rod 34 then drives the connecting block 35, which in turn drives the positioning frame 23 via the second junction seat 36. The positioning frame 23 rotates around the connection between the connecting frame 22 and the first hinge seat 21, thereby adjusting the tilt of the positioning frame 23. This allows for synchronous adjustment of the photovoltaic panel body 25. The mechanism allows the photovoltaic panel body 25 to be at the optimal tilt angle. The drive motor 212 is a waterproof motor, which can be used outdoors in rainy weather. The drive motor 212 drives the first threaded rod 213. The first threaded rod 213 rotates and drives the slider 26. The slider 26 drives the positioning plate 27. The positioning plate 27 drives the rubber scraper 29 to contact the photovoltaic panel body 25 through the slide rod 28. The rubber scraper 29 is pushed by the spring 210, so that the rubber scraper 29 can always be in contact with the photovoltaic panel body 25. By moving the slider 26, the rubber scraper 29 can remove the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25.

[0025] Through the above steps, the dust accumulated on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25 is scraped off by the rubber scraper 29, thereby preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 25 for a long time, thus solving the problem of dust in the air accumulating on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and affecting the decrease of light energy conversion efficiency.
