Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Based on the photoelectric effect, when sunlight shines on the semiconductor material (such as silicon) of a photovoltaic panel, the photon energy excites electrons. Under the influence of the internal electric field, electrons and holes move towards the two poles of the battery, forming a potential difference. After the external circuit is connected, current flows through the circuit, realizing the conversion of light energy into electrical energy.

[0003] Photovoltaic panels are exposed to the natural environment for a long time, and dust, leaves, bird droppings, insect carcasses, and various air pollutants accumulate on their surface. These obstructions can seriously affect the photovoltaic panels' ability to absorb sunlight. In addition, stains can accelerate the aging of solar photovoltaic panels. Therefore, we need to design a solar photovoltaic panel cleaning device that uses a left-right swinging nozzle assembly and a roller brush structure. The left-right swinging nozzle allows water to cover a wider area, and together with the rolling cleaning roller brush, it can clean stains in every corner of the photovoltaic panel surface. The nozzle first sprays water to wet and loosen stubborn stains, and then the roller brush rolls and rubs to further peel off and remove stains, effectively removing dust and impurities from the surface of solar photovoltaic panels.

[0012] 1. This utility model utilizes the combined use of a rotating connecting rod, a sliding block, and an arc-shaped plate to allow the swing rod to drive the connecting hose to swing back and forth on the top of the cleaning machine to spray water onto the solar photovoltaic panel. This allows the water to cover a wider area, which in turn enables the cleaning roller brush and scraper to clean the dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The rolling cleaning roller brush can clean the stains from every corner of the photovoltaic panel surface. The nozzle first sprays water to wet and loosen stubborn stains, and then the roller brush rolls and rubs. The combination of the two can achieve spraying and wiping simultaneously, further peeling off and removing stains, effectively removing dust and impurities from the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel.

The scraper can dry or remove water stains in time after cleaning, keeping the surface of the photovoltaic panel dry.

[0014] 3. The present invention uses an arc-shaped plate to guide the sliding block when it slides, ensuring that the sliding block can stably swing left and right to flush water when it drives the swing rod.

[0024] In the following description, embodiments of the solar photovoltaic panel cleaning device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Figure 1-5This invention illustrates a solar photovoltaic panel cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a lower base plate 1, a cleaning machine 2 mounted on the front side of the top of the lower base plate 1, a cleaning roller brush 3 movably connected to the top of the cleaning machine 2, and two symmetrical side plates 4 movably connected to the rear side of the cleaning roller brush 3. Scrapers 5 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two side plates 4. Through the cooperative use of the side plates 4 and the scrapers 5, the cleaning roller brush 3 cleans the photovoltaic panels while the scrapers 5 scrape away the wastewater on the photovoltaic panel surface, ensuring cleanliness. The solar photovoltaic panels are cleaned thoroughly without leaving any wastewater residue. The scraper 5 can quickly dry or remove water stains after cleaning, keeping the photovoltaic panel surface dry. A water tank 6 is installed on the rear side of the top of the bottom plate 1. A connecting water pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 6, and a connecting hose 8 is connected to the end of the connecting water pipe 7 away from the water tank 6. A triangular plate 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the water tank 6, and a vertical block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the triangular plate 9. A fixing ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical block 10, and a [missing information - likely a design feature] is provided on the front side of the vertical block 10. A rotating connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to a sliding block 14 at one end. An arc-shaped plate 15 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding block 14. A swing rod 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the arc-shaped plate 15. The swing rod 16 is rotatably connected to the fixed ring 11 via a rotating shaft. The arc-shaped plate 15 guides the sliding block 14 when it slides, ensuring that the sliding block 14 can stably swing left and right to flush water while driving the swing rod 16. The end of the swing rod 16 is equipped with... A collar is provided, and the connecting hose 8 is installed in the inner cavity of the collar. The collar provides support for the connecting hose 8 when it swings, ensuring that the connecting hose 8 will not detach from the swing rod 16 when it swings. A motor 17 is installed on the rear side of the upright block 10. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the surface of the upright block 10. The rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating connecting rod 13. The output shaft of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 12. A rectangular groove is provided on the surface of the fixing ring 11 for the swing rod 16 to rotate.

[0026] Working Principle: When using this invention, the user first places the solar photovoltaic panel at the bottom of the cleaning machine 2. Water from the inner cavity of the water tank 6 flows through the connecting water pipe 7 to the outlet of the connecting hose 8. Due to the collar at the end of the swing rod 16, the connecting hose 8 is installed at the end of the swing rod 16. Then, cleaning water flows from the outlet of the connecting hose 8 to the top of the cleaning machine 2. The motor 17 is turned on, and the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate on the surface of the upright block 10. This causes the rotating rod 12 to drive the rotating connecting rod 13 to rotate, and the rotating connecting rod 13 to drive the sliding block 14 on the arc plate 1. The curved plate 15 slides between the two sides, causing the swing rod 16 to swing left and right through the rotating shaft. At the same time, the swing rod 16 drives the connecting hose 8 to swing back and forth through the collar, repeatedly rinsing the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel with water. Then, the cleaning machine 2 drives the cleaning roller brush 3 to roll and clean the top of the photovoltaic panel. Then, the scraper 5 scrapes away the sewage on the top of the photovoltaic panel. The scraper 5 can dry or remove water stains in time after cleaning, keeping the surface of the photovoltaic panel dry. Because the cleaning machine 2 is set from the back to the front, the sewage will flow from the high place to the low place and will detach from the top of the solar photovoltaic panel. Finally, the dust on the top of the photovoltaic panel is cleaned.

[0027] In summary, this solar photovoltaic panel cleaning device, through the coordinated use of the rotating connecting rod 13, sliding block 14, and arc plate 15, causes the swing rod 16 to drive the connecting hose 8 to swing back and forth on the top of the cleaning machine 2 to spray water onto the solar photovoltaic panel. This allows the water to cover a wider area, which in turn enables the cleaning roller brush 3 and scraper 5 to clean the dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The rolling cleaning roller brush can clean the stains in every corner of the photovoltaic panel surface. The nozzle first sprays water to wet and loosen stubborn stains, and then the roller brush rolls and rubs. The combination of the two can achieve spraying and wiping at the same time, further peeling off and removing stains, effectively removing dust and impurities from the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel.
