[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a clean energy technology that uses the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor materials to directly convert sunlight into electricity. Wastewater treatment is a process that removes or reduces pollutants in wastewater through physical, chemical, or biological methods to meet discharge standards or reuse requirements. With the continuous development of photovoltaic power generation technology, solar tracking systems have been widely used in various scenarios. In the field of wastewater treatment, combining photovoltaic power generation devices with wastewater treatment facilities can effectively utilize solar energy to provide clean energy for wastewater treatment equipment and reduce operating costs.
[0003] When installing tracking brackets in photovoltaic power generation systems in existing wastewater treatment plants, the special environment of wastewater treatment plants—high air humidity, corrosive gases, and a large number of microorganisms—makes the rotation gap between the rotating shaft and the columnar groove of the tracking bracket prone to moisture, leading to rust on the bearing parts, microbial growth, and consequently, tracking jamming and increased rotational resistance, which seriously affects the tracking accuracy and service life of the system.
[0004] Some existing technologies attempt to add sealing rings and apply grease to the rotating shaft, but the sealing rings are prone to wear and aging after long-term use, and the grease is prone to attracting dust and microorganisms, which will aggravate the contamination. Therefore, how to effectively prevent moisture from entering the rotating gap in the special environment of the wastewater treatment plant is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0015] Both the first drying tank and the second drying tank are fixedly installed with PTC heating rods inside, and each PTC heating rod is covered with a stainless steel sintered mesh.

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is provided: a photovoltaic power generation device for wastewater treatment, including a wastewater treatment tank and a tracking bracket 1. The tracking bracket 1 is installed above the wastewater treatment tank and is used to supply power during wastewater treatment. A shielding shell 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the tracking bracket 1. A photosensitive sensor 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the tracking bracket 1. The photosensitive sensor 7 is used to detect the direction of sunlight in real time and transmit the detection signal to the control system. The control system can be installed according to the installation method in the prior art. A stepper motor 3 is fixedly installed inside the shielding shell 2. The stepper motor 3 is used as a driving element to drive the tracking bracket 1 to rotate according to the detection signal of the photosensitive sensor 7.
[0041] The tracking bracket 1 has columnar grooves on both sides, and a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected in each columnar groove. A support frame 4 for installing photovoltaic panels 6 is fixedly connected between the two rotating shafts 5. The support frame 4 can rotate together with the rotating shafts 5, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of photovoltaic panels 6 so that photovoltaic panels 6 can track the direction of sunlight.
[0042] The tracking bracket 1 is also equipped with a moisture-proof component, which is used to provide positive pressure airflow to the rotation gap between the columnar groove and the rotating shaft 5 to prevent external moisture from entering.
[0043] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the moisture-proof component includes an air pump 8 fixedly mounted on the tracking bracket 1. The air pump 8 is used to generate compressed air. An air supply pipe 9 is connected through the input end of the air pump 8. A filter 10 is connected through the distal end of the air supply pipe 9, i.e. the end away from the air pump 8. A delivery pipe 11 is connected through the output end of the air pump 8. The delivery pipe 11 is used to deliver filtered and dried air. A U-shaped auxiliary pipe 17 is connected in parallel in the middle of the delivery pipe 11. The auxiliary pipe 17 is used to form a bypass airflow channel.
[0044] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a protective frame for protecting the filter 10 and the air pump 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the tracking bracket 1. The protective frame can prevent external objects from colliding with or sewage from splashing onto the filter 10 and the air pump 8, thus extending the service life of the equipment.
[0045] As attached Figure 6 As shown, a first drying tank 18 is connected in series in the middle of the conveying pipe 11, and the first drying tank 18 is located between the inlet side and the outlet side of the auxiliary pipe 17. The first drying tank 18 is filled with desiccant to adsorb residual moisture in the air and dry the air.
[0046] A second drying tank 19 is connected in series in the middle of the auxiliary pipe 17. The second drying tank 19 is also filled with desiccant and serves as a backup drying tank, working alternately with the first drying tank 18. A first solenoid valve 22 for switching gas paths is installed on both ends of the delivery pipe 11, near the inlet and outlet sides of the auxiliary pipe 17. The first solenoid valve 22 controls the opening and closing of the delivery pipe 11, realizing the opening and closing of the main gas path. A second solenoid valve 23 is installed on the inlet and outlet sides of the auxiliary pipe 17, respectively. The second solenoid valve 23 controls the opening and closing of the auxiliary pipe 17, realizing the opening and closing of the bypass gas path. PTC heating rods 20 are fixedly installed inside both the first drying tank 18 and the second drying tank 19. Both the bottom of the first and second drying tanks 19 can be equipped with dehumidification solenoid valves for dehumidification, which are powered by excess electricity from the photovoltaic panels. The lead wires are encapsulated with high-temperature resistant epoxy resin. The PTC heating rods 20 have self-limiting temperature characteristics and can generate stable heat after being powered on, which is used to heat and regenerate the saturated desiccant. Each PTC heating rod 20 is covered with a stainless steel sintered mesh 21. The stainless steel sintered mesh 21 physically isolates the PTC heating rods 20 from the desiccant in the drying tank and conducts heat evenly, preventing the PTC heating rods 20 from directly contacting the desiccant and causing local overheating, burning, or agglomeration. At the same time, it can evenly transfer heat to the surrounding desiccant. The stainless steel sintered mesh 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the corresponding drying tank.
[0047] As attached Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the far end of the delivery pipe 11, that is, the end away from the air pump 8, is connected to a bidirectional pipe 12. The bidirectional pipe 12 is used to divert the dried air to both sides. Both ends of the bidirectional pipe 12 are connected to a double-ended pipe 13. The double-ended pipe 13 is used to further divert the air to each annular pipe 14. Both ends of each double-ended pipe 13 are connected to an annular pipe 14. The inner wall of each annular pipe 14 is connected to multiple air outlet nozzles 15 facing the rotating shaft 5.
[0048] As attached Figure 3 As shown, each columnar groove has two annular grooves 16 on its inner wall. Annular tubes 14 are fixedly connected to the annular grooves 16, and the two annular tubes 14 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the corresponding rotating shafts 5, so that the air outlet nozzles 15 on the annular tubes 14 can be evenly arranged around the rotating shafts 5, ensuring that the positive pressure airflow covers the entire circumferential direction of the rotation gap, and achieving all-round moisture-proof sealing without dead angles.
[0049] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: After the device is started, the photosensitive sensor 7 detects the direction of sunlight in real time and transmits the detection signal to the control system. The control system controls the stepper motor 3 to operate according to the signal of the photosensitive sensor 7. The stepper motor 3 drives the tracking bracket 1 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating shaft 5 drives the support frame 4 and the photovoltaic panel 6 on it to adjust the pitch angle so that the photovoltaic panel 6 is always facing the sunlight, thereby realizing the function of tracking the light.
[0050] To prevent humid air, corrosive gases, and microorganisms from entering the wastewater treatment plant environment through the rotational gap between the columnar groove and the rotating shaft 5, humidity sensors are installed at the outlets of both the first drying tank 18 and the second drying tank 19 in the moisture-proof assembly to monitor the humidity level inside the drying tanks. Furthermore, dehumidification solenoid valves for dehumidification are installed at the bottom of both the first drying tank 18 and the second drying tank 19. When the moisture-proof assembly is in operation:
[0051] The air pump 8 is powered by the excess power of the photovoltaic panel, so it will be in a continuous running state. It draws in external air through the air supply pipe 9. The air first passes through the filter 10 for preliminary filtration to remove large dust particles and some moisture. The filtered air is pressurized by the air pump 8 and then enters the delivery pipe 11.
[0052] When the first drying tank 18 is in operation, the first solenoid valve 22 is opened and the second solenoid valve 23 is closed. Air enters the first drying tank 18 along the conveying pipe 11. The desiccant in the first drying tank 18 adsorbs the residual moisture in the air and dries the air. The dried air continues to flow along the conveying pipe 11, is split by the bidirectional pipe 12, and enters the double-headed pipes 13 at both ends, and then enters each annular pipe 14. The dried air is sprayed out from multiple air outlet nozzles 15 on the annular pipe 14, forming a continuous positive pressure airflow in the rotation gap between the rotating shaft 5 and the columnar groove. This positive pressure airflow discharges any moisture that may seep in and prevents external moisture from entering, thereby achieving a moisture-proof seal.
[0053] When the desiccant in the first drying tank 18 becomes saturated with water, the humidity sensor detects that the humidity value in the first drying tank 18 exceeds the threshold and thus detects that a switch is needed. At this time, the control system controls the first solenoid valve 22 to close, cutting off the path from the delivery pipe 11 to the first drying tank 18; at the same time, the second solenoid valve 23 is opened, allowing air to enter the second drying tank 19 through the auxiliary pipe 17 for drying. After the switch is completed, the second drying tank 19 takes over the work and continues to provide dry air for the entire device.
[0054] For the first drying tank 18, which is already saturated, the control system activates the PTC heating rod 20 inside for heating and regeneration. The PTC heating rod 20 is connected to the excess power of the photovoltaic panel and generates heat. The heat is evenly transferred to the desiccant through the stainless steel sintered mesh 21, and the moisture adsorbed by the desiccant is evaporated and discharged by the dehumidification solenoid valve installed on the drying tank. After regeneration is completed, the first drying tank 18 restores its drying capacity and stands by as a backup tank. The two drying tanks work and regenerate alternately in the above manner to achieve continuous gas supply.
[0055] Example 2:
[0056] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment discloses a photovoltaic power generation device for wastewater treatment, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the track bracket 1 is also provided with a support component for auxiliary support of the support frame 4.
[0057] The support assembly includes two annular shells 24 with open tops, which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sides of the tracking bracket 1. Each annular shell 24 has an annular "U"-shaped guide groove on its inner wall.
[0058] As attached Figure 4 As shown, each guide groove has two support rollers 26 that convert sliding friction into rolling contact, and the support rollers 26 slide along the guide groove; each support roller 26 is rotatably connected to a support frame 25, and multiple support frames 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame 4.
[0059] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During the rotation of the support frame 4, the support component plays an auxiliary support role. The support frame 25, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame 4, drives the support roller 26 to roll in the annular guide groove inside the annular shell 24. The support roller 26 can slide freely along the guide groove, thereby providing stable radial and axial support for the support frame 4, sharing the load of the rotating shaft 5, reducing rotational friction, and improving the smoothness of the tracking action.
