Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel module that facilitates rainwater guidance. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) modules, also known as solar panels or PV modules, are power generation devices that generate direct current when exposed to sunlight. They consist of thin, solid-state photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials. Solar photovoltaic cells are used to directly convert sunlight into electrical energy. Currently, ground-based PV systems largely use silicon solar cells based on silicon, which can be divided into monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon solar cells. Therefore, they are widely used in the new energy industry.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN202223097677.0 discloses an adjustable photovoltaic panel assembly, including a bracket, a connecting frame, and a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed inside the connecting frame, and the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the bracket. This invention expands the rotation angle of the photovoltaic panel by installing a support mechanism at the front end of the bracket and rotating the connecting frame using a central pivot and the bracket. This allows the panel to rotate downwards to avoid extreme weather conditions.
[0004] However, the device in the aforementioned patent has certain drawbacks: although the angle of the photovoltaic panel can be adjusted when using a traditional adjustable photovoltaic panel module, the photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame on the bracket. When maintenance and repair of the photovoltaic panel are required, it is inconvenient for the operator to remove and install the photovoltaic panel on the bracket, which reduces the practicality of the device.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a photovoltaic panel module that facilitates rainwater drainage is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic panel assembly that facilitates rainwater guidance. By using this device, the problem of traditional adjustable photovoltaic panel assemblies, where the photovoltaic panel angle can be adjusted, is solved because the photovoltaic panel is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame on the bracket. This makes it inconvenient for the operator to remove and install the photovoltaic panel on the bracket when maintenance and repair are required, thus reducing the practicality of the device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic panel assembly that facilitates rainwater guidance, comprising a photovoltaic panel base and a mounting seat rotatably connected to the top of the photovoltaic panel base, and a photovoltaic panel body disposed inside the mounting seat. The photovoltaic panel base has heat dissipation vents at both its left and right ends. The photovoltaic panel base is equipped with a guiding component that guides rainwater. The guiding component includes a drive motor fixedly connected inside the photovoltaic panel base. Two sets of drive motors are provided. The heat dissipation vents are connected to the mounting area of the drive motors. A connecting groove is also provided on the top of the photovoltaic panel base.
[0008] Preferably, the output ends of both sets of drive motors are fixedly connected to a screw, and the screw is threadedly connected to a sliding block, which is slidably connected inside the connecting groove.
[0009] By adopting the above structural design, the sliding connection of the first sliding block ensures that the first sliding block will not deviate from its movement trajectory during the movement process.
[0010] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block, and a support block is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod. The top of the support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base.
[0011] The above-described structure, with the addition of support blocks, enables the mounting base to rotate, thus improving its usability.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the mounting base is fixedly connected to a mounting frame, and the mounting frame has a set of drain outlets, and multiple sets of drain outlets are provided.
[0013] The above-described structure, through the setting of the drainage outlet group one, enables the rapid discharge of rainwater during rainy weather.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the mounting base is provided with a mounting groove, which is slidably engaged with the photovoltaic panel body, and a second set of drain outlets is provided on one side of the mounting base, which is connected to the mounting groove.
[0015] The above-described structure, with its mounting slots, allows related components to be connected to the slots, facilitating their use.
[0016] Preferably, a knob is rotatably connected to the outer side of the mounting base, and four sets of knobs are provided. One end of each knob is fixedly connected to a screw rod, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to a sliding block.
[0017] With the above-described structure, the screw rod allows the operator to move the sliding block by simply turning the knob, thus improving work efficiency.
[0018] Preferably, the second sliding block is slidably connected inside the mounting base, and the outer side of the photovoltaic panel body is fixedly connected with a protrusion, and four sets of protrusions are provided. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the protrusion, and a slot is provided through the protrusion, and the slot slides in cooperation with the block.
[0019] The above-described structure, with its slots and blocks, facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the photovoltaic panels by staff.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] 1. This application proposes a photovoltaic panel module that facilitates rainwater drainage, solving the problem that most existing photovoltaic panel modules lack effective drainage structures, leading to rainwater accumulation on the top of the module during rainy days and causing damage. In use, the photovoltaic panel base can be installed in a designated location, and the photovoltaic panel itself can generate electricity by absorbing sunlight, thus providing power. During rainy days, the operator can activate the drive motor inside the heat dissipation vent. The drive motor drives the screw to rotate, causing the sliding block to slide inside the connecting groove. The sliding block's movement causes the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the support... The support block rotates, and the rotating connection between the support block and the photovoltaic panel base and mounting base can cooperate to rotate the mounting base, thereby increasing the tilt angle of the mounting base. At this time, rainwater accumulated on the mounting base can be discharged through the first drainage outlet on the mounting frame. Furthermore, the installation groove and the second drainage outlet can drain the residual water inside the installation groove. Thus, when the overall structure is used in rainy weather, rainwater will not accumulate on the top of the mounting base, achieving the rainwater guiding effect of the device. When the weather is sunny, the drive motor can be started to reset the mounting base, thereby putting the overall structure back into working condition. This realizes the function of quickly draining rainwater in rainy weather, improving the usage effect.
[0022] 2. This application proposes a photovoltaic panel assembly that facilitates rainwater guidance. It solves the problem of traditional adjustable photovoltaic panel assemblies where, although the angle of the photovoltaic panel can be adjusted, the panel is fixed inside the mounting frame on the bracket. This makes it inconvenient for operators to remove and install the panel during maintenance, reducing the device's practicality. When the photovoltaic panel needs to be removed from the mounting slot, the operator can rotate four knobs located on the outside of the mounting base. The knobs rotate the screw, causing the sliding block to slide. The sliding block then moves the locking block out of the slot, allowing the operator to remove the photovoltaic panel from the mounting slot for maintenance. When installation is needed, the photovoltaic panel can be reinstalled in the mounting slot by rotating the knobs in the opposite direction. The knobs move the locking block to the slot inside the protrusion, securing it and completing the installation. This design facilitates easy disassembly and maintenance of the photovoltaic panel, and also facilitates subsequent installation operations. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Combination Figures 1-4 A photovoltaic panel assembly for facilitating rainwater guidance includes a photovoltaic panel base 1 and a mounting base 2 rotatably connected to the top of the photovoltaic panel base 1. It also includes a photovoltaic panel body 3 disposed inside the mounting base 2. Heat dissipation vents 11 are provided at both the left and right ends of the photovoltaic panel base 1. The photovoltaic panel base 1 is equipped with a guiding component that guides rainwater. The guiding component includes a drive motor 111 fixedly connected inside the photovoltaic panel base 1. Two sets of drive motors 111 are provided. The heat dissipation vents 11 are connected to the mounting area of the drive motors 111. A connecting groove 12 is also provided on the top of the photovoltaic panel base 1.
[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] To address the problem that most existing photovoltaic (PV) panels lack effective drainage structures, leading to rainwater accumulation on top of the panels during rainy weather and potential damage, the following solution is disclosed. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1-5Both sets of drive motors 111 have screws 112 fixedly connected to their output ends. Screws 112 are threadedly connected to sliding blocks 121, which are slidably connected inside the connecting groove 12. A rotating rod 122 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block 121, and a support block 123 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 122. The top of the support block 123 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 2, and a mounting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 2. The mounting frame 21 has multiple sets of drainage outlets 211. In use, the photovoltaic panel base 1 can be installed in a designated position, and the photovoltaic panel body 3 can generate electricity by absorbing sunlight, thus providing power. In rainy weather, the operator can activate the drive motor 111 inside the heat dissipation vent 11. The drive motor 111 drives the screws 112 to rotate, causing the sliding blocks 121 to slide within the connecting groove 12. The internal sliding mechanism, with sliding block 121 sliding, causes rotating rod 122 to rotate. The rotation of rotating rod 122 drives supporting block 123 to rotate. The rotating connection between supporting block 123 and photovoltaic panel base 1 and mounting base 2 can cooperate with each other, thereby achieving the effect of rotating mounting base 2 and increasing the tilt angle of mounting base 2. At this time, rainwater accumulated on mounting base 2 can be discharged through drainage outlet group 1 211 on mounting frame 21. Furthermore, the installation groove 22 and drainage outlet group 221 can drain residual water inside the installation groove 22. Thus, when the overall structure is used in rainy weather, rainwater will not accumulate on the top of mounting base 2, achieving the rainwater guiding effect of the device. When the weather is sunny, the drive motor 111 can be started to reset mounting base 2, thereby allowing the overall structure to return to the working state. This achieves the function of quickly draining rainwater in rainy weather, improving the usage effect.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] To address the issue that traditional adjustable photovoltaic (PV) panel modules, while allowing for angle adjustment, have PV panels fixed inside mounting frames on brackets, making it inconvenient for operators to remove and reinstall the panels during maintenance and repairs, thus reducing the practicality of the system, the following solution is disclosed. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 5 and Figure 6The top of the mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22, which slides with the photovoltaic panel body 3. A second set of drain outlets 221 is provided on one side of the mounting base 2, which is connected to the mounting groove 22. A knob 23 is rotatably connected to the outside of the mounting base 2, and four sets of knobs 23 are provided. One end of the knob 23 is fixedly connected to a screw 231, which is threadedly connected to a sliding block 232. The sliding block 232 is slidably connected inside the mounting base 2. A protrusion 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the photovoltaic panel body 3, and four sets of protrusions 31 are provided. A handle 311 is fixedly connected to the top of the protrusion 31, and a slot 32 is provided through the protrusion 31, which slides with the slot 233. When it is necessary to remove the photovoltaic panel body 3 from the inside of the mounting groove 22, the operator can rotate the handle 233. The four sets of knobs 23 on the outside of the mounting base 2 drive the screw 231 to rotate, which in turn causes the sliding block 232 to slide. After the sliding block 232 drives the locking block 233 to slide out of the slot 32, the operator can remove the photovoltaic panel body 3 from the mounting slot 22 through the handle 311. At this time, the photovoltaic panel body 3 can be maintained. When the maintenance is completed and installation is required, the photovoltaic panel body 3 can be reinstalled in the mounting slot 22, and the knobs 23 are rotated in the opposite direction. The knobs 23 drive the locking block 233 to move, which in turn moves the locking block 233 to the slot 32 inside the protrusion 31, which can fix the protrusion 31 and complete the installation operation of the photovoltaic panel body 3. This realizes the function of making it convenient for the operator to disassemble and maintain the photovoltaic panel body 3, and also facilitates subsequent installation operations.
