[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) carport is a multifunctional building that combines photovoltaics with a carport roof, integrating solar power generation and car parking. PV carports not only fulfill the functions of traditional carports, such as protecting vehicles from sun and rain and solving the problem of high interior temperatures in open-air parking lots during summer, but also generate income for owners through solar power. Currently, PV carports are widely used in factory parks, commercial areas, hospitals, and schools.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an adjustable photovoltaic carport includes a lifting support 1 and a photovoltaic panel 2 installed on the lifting support 1. A water collection pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the back side of the photovoltaic panel 2. A water guide groove 4 is opened on the upper surface of the water collection pipe 3. A flow guide pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the water collection pipe 3. A water storage box 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the flow guide pipe 5. The water storage box 6 is placed on the ground.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjustable photovoltaic carport of this utility model is similar in structure to existing photovoltaic carports, such as the photovoltaic carport disclosed in patent publication number CN211201311U. The main improvement of this utility model is its ability to collect rainwater. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in the case of an adjustable photovoltaic carport of this utility model, when it rains, rainwater will fall on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 and flow along the inclined surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 into the water channel 4, and then flow into the water storage box 6 through the guide pipe 5; the height of the photovoltaic panel 2 can be adjusted by the lifting bracket 1, which makes it convenient for staff to maintain the photovoltaic panel 2.

[0025] Through the cooperation of the water storage box 6 and the diversion pipe 5, rainwater is collected. The collected rainwater can be used for various purposes, such as irrigating plants, washing vehicles, and replenishing landscape water bodies, thereby realizing the recycling of water resources, improving the efficiency of water resource utilization, and avoiding the waste of rainwater.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a water pump 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the water storage box 6, and a water outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the water pump 7. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the front side of the photovoltaic panel 2. A water discharge trough 10 is opened in the connecting block 9. The top end of the water outlet pipe 8 passes through the top surface of the water storage box 6 and is connected to the water discharge trough 10. A plurality of equally spaced nozzles 11 are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 9 near the water collection pipe 3. The nozzles 11 are connected to the water discharge trough 10.

[0027] Specifically, when encountering high temperatures, the surface temperature of photovoltaic panel 2 will rise significantly after prolonged exposure to sunlight. This may not only affect the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panel 2 but also shorten its service life. At this time, water pump 7 will automatically start, transporting rainwater from water storage box 6 to water discharge tank 10, and then spraying it onto the surface of photovoltaic panel 2 through nozzle 11 to cool photovoltaic panel 2 and ensure that the photovoltaic carport can maintain stable power output even in high temperatures. At the same time, the rainwater sprayed by nozzle 11 can also clean the surface of photovoltaic panel 2. In high temperatures, dust and dirt easily accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic panel 2. These impurities will hinder the penetration of light and reduce photovoltaic efficiency. Water spraying can effectively remove these impurities, restore the light transmittance of photovoltaic panel 2, and further improve its photovoltaic efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, each of the nozzles 11 has an atomizer 12 fixedly connected to its water spray end.

[0029] Specifically, the atomizer 12 can further atomize the water sprayed from the nozzle 11 into finer water droplets or mist. These tiny water droplets have a larger specific surface area, enabling them to absorb heat from the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2 more quickly and remove a large amount of heat through evaporation, thereby significantly improving cooling efficiency. At the same time, the atomized water droplets can more evenly cover the surface of the photovoltaic panel 2, including hard-to-reach corners and crevices. Since the atomizer 12 can atomize water into finer particles, the amount of water required to achieve the same cooling and cleaning effect will be greatly reduced, which helps to save water resources and improve water resource utilization efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a drain pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water storage box 6, and a water inlet pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage box 6. A valve 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of both the drain pipe 15 and the water inlet pipe 14.

[0031] Specifically, when rainwater accumulates to a certain amount in the water storage box 6, or when the water storage box 6 needs to be cleaned regularly, the rainwater in the water storage box 6 can be discharged by opening the valve 16 on the drain pipe 15; when there is insufficient rainwater or the water volume in the water storage box 6 decreases, water can be added to the water storage box 6 through the water inlet pipe 14. This can ensure that the cooling system of the photovoltaic carport can still work normally in the event of drought or long periods without rain.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, positioning blocks 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the water guide channel 4, and a screen 18 is slidably connected inside the water guide channel 4, with the bottom surface of the screen 18 abutting against the surface of the positioning block 17.

[0033] Specifically, the main function of the screen 18 is to filter impurities in rainwater, such as leaves, branches, and dust. If these impurities directly enter the water collection pipe 3 and the water storage box 6, they may cause pipe blockage, damage to the water pump 7, or affect the reuse of rainwater. By filtering through the screen 18, these impurities can be effectively removed, ensuring the cleanliness of the rainwater.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water guide channel 4 is inclined, with the end furthest from the water storage box 6 having a higher vertical height.

[0035] Specifically, the inclined design of the water channel 4 allows rainwater to flow naturally and smoothly to the water storage box 6 under the action of gravity, reducing the accumulation and retention of rainwater in the water channel 4 and improving the rainwater collection efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of fixing blocks 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the photovoltaic panel 2, and the fixing blocks 13 are inserted into the water outlet pipe 8.

[0037] Specifically, the insertion of the fixing block 13 and the water outlet pipe 8 provides a stable support point for the water outlet pipe 8, ensuring that the water outlet pipe 8 is firmly installed on one side of the photovoltaic panel 2, and preventing the water outlet pipe 8 from loosening or falling off due to external factors such as wind and vibration, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the system.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
