Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic heat pump air conditioning, and more specifically, to a heat pump air conditioner with a cleanable photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic heat pump air conditioners are innovative systems that deeply integrate solar photovoltaic power generation with air source heat pump technology. They directly drive the heat pump through photovoltaic panel power generation, achieving "zero electricity cost" cooling and heating.

[0003] Existing photovoltaic heat pump air conditioners use photovoltaic panels to generate electricity to power heaters. However, after prolonged use, the photovoltaic panels accumulate dust and even bird droppings, which reduces their energy conversion efficiency. In existing photovoltaic heat pump air conditioners, the photovoltaic panels are usually cleaned manually or automatically with brushes, resulting in slow cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect. Especially in snowy weather, snow on the surface of the photovoltaic panels further affects the energy conversion efficiency and reduces the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a heat pump air conditioner with a cleanable photovoltaic module is provided, comprising: a heat pump air conditioning unit, wherein a multi-mode self-cleaning mechanism and an installation mechanism are externally provided on the heat pump air conditioning unit, the heat pump air conditioning unit and the photovoltaic module are electrically connected via a controller and a battery, the multi-mode self-cleaning mechanism includes an installation plate, the installation plate is mounted on the bottom end of the heat pump air conditioning unit, a telescopic support column is fixedly connected to the upper end of the installation plate, a photovoltaic frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic support column, a photovoltaic panel body is provided on the photovoltaic frame, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the photovoltaic frame, a cleaning frame is slidably provided on the guide plate via a drive component, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cleaning frame, three sets of adjusting plates are slidably provided inside the connecting plate, a cleaning brush, a rotating spray and a pneumatic nozzle are respectively provided at the bottom end of the adjusting plate, and the upper end of the adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of an electric cylinder provided inside the connecting plate.

[0006] The drive components include linear motor drives, rack and pinion drives, or start-up drives.

[0007] The cleaning rack has a slide rail inside, which can slide on the surface of the guide plate. A slide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide rail, and the slide plate can slide inside the slide cavity.

[0008] The cleaning rack has a sliding groove inside, which is located inside the guide plate. A guide wheel is rotatably mounted inside the sliding groove via a bearing seat.

[0009] The installation mechanism includes an adjustment hole, which is located inside the telescopic support column. A limit bolt is installed inside the adjustment hole, and the telescopic support column can extend and retract on its own.

[0010] The heat pump air conditioning unit is equipped with fixing screws, which are installed inside the mounting surface.

[0011] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of an mounting plate, telescopic support column, photovoltaic frame, photovoltaic panel body, guide plate, cleaning frame, connecting plate, adjusting plate, cleaning brush, rotating sprayer, and pneumatic nozzle, directly connects the photovoltaic module to the battery and heat pump air conditioning unit via a DC controller. The controller is connected to the heater of the heat pump air conditioning unit via a control switch. When the photovoltaic module is self-cleaning, the driving component can directly drive the cleaning frame, enabling the multi-mode cleaning unit at the bottom of the cleaning frame to perform adaptive cleaning. The cleaning brush can clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel body. Dry sweeping and rotary spraying can wash the surface of the photovoltaic panel, while pneumatic nozzles can slide the surface of the photovoltaic panel (for operations such as snow removal). The three-in-one cleaning unit is highly efficient in cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel, saving cleaning time and improving the cleaning effect.

[0012] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of adjustment holes, limiting bolts, and fixing screws, allows the photovoltaic unit to be adjusted using telescopic support columns, adjustment holes, and limiting bolts. The support height of the telescopic support columns can be changed, making it easy to adjust the height of the photovoltaic panel body and facilitate its installation. This enables the heat pump air conditioner of the cleanable photovoltaic module to be easily adapted for installation, allowing the photovoltaic panel to be installed at a suitable height, avoiding shading that prevents the photovoltaic panel from efficiently converting solar energy, and improving the practicality and convenience of the device.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is provided:

[0025] A heat pump air conditioner with a cleanable photovoltaic module. The heat pump air conditioner unit 111 used in this application is a product that can be directly purchased on the market. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Includes: a heat pump air conditioning unit 111, with a multi-mode self-cleaning mechanism 2 and an installation mechanism 3 externally mounted on the heat pump air conditioning unit 111. The heat pump air conditioning unit 111 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module via a controller and a battery. The multi-mode self-cleaning mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 211, which is mounted on the bottom of the heat pump air conditioning unit 111. A telescopic support column 212 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 211, and a photovoltaic frame 213 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic support column 212. The photovoltaic frame 213 is equipped with... The photovoltaic panel body 214 has a guide plate 215 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the photovoltaic frame 213. A cleaning frame 216 is slidably mounted on the guide plate 215 via a drive component. A connecting plate 217 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning frame 216. Three sets of adjusting plates 218 are slidably mounted inside the connecting plate 217. A cleaning brush 219, a rotating spray 220, and a pneumatic nozzle 221 are respectively mounted at the bottom of the adjusting plate 218. The upper end of the adjusting plate 218 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder inside the connecting plate 217.

[0027] When using a heat pump air conditioner with a self-cleanable photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module is directly electrically connected to the battery and the heat pump air conditioner unit 111 via a DC controller. The controller is connected to the heater of the heat pump air conditioner unit 111 via a control switch. When the photovoltaic module is self-cleaning, the cleaning rack 216 can be directly driven by the drive component, so that the multi-mode cleaning unit set at the bottom of the cleaning rack 216 can be adapted for cleaning. The cleaning brush 219 can dry sweep the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214, the rotating spray 220 can wash the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214 with water, and the pneumatic nozzle 221 can slide and remove snow from the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214. The three-in-one cleaning unit has high cleaning efficiency for the surface of the photovoltaic panel, saves cleaning time, and improves the cleaning effect, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel and indirectly helping the use of the heat pump air conditioner.

[0028] The drive components include linear motor drives, rack and pinion drives, or starter drives.

[0029] The cleaning rack 216 has a slide 222 inside, which can slide on the surface of the guide plate 215, and the slide plate 223 can slide inside the slide cavity 224;

[0030] When the cleaning rack 216 slides using the drive assembly, the slide rail 222 slides on the surface of the guide plate 215. The inner wall of the slide rail 222 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 223, which can slide inside the slide cavity 224 to limit the cleaning rack 216, making its sliding more stable and preventing it from deviating.

[0031] The cleaning rack 216 has a sliding groove 225 inside, and the sliding groove 225 is opened inside the guide plate 215. The guide wheel 226 is rotatably arranged inside the sliding groove 225 through the bearing seat.

[0032] By utilizing the cooperation of the slide 225 and the guide wheel 226, the cleaning rack 216 will not wobble in the direction of movement, thus avoiding affecting the self-cleaning of the photovoltaic panel.

[0033] The mounting mechanism 3 includes an adjustment hole 311, which is opened inside the telescopic support column 212. A limit bolt 312 is installed inside the adjustment hole 311, and the telescopic support column 212 can extend and retract on its own.

[0034] When using a heat pump air conditioner with this cleanable photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic unit can be adjusted using the telescopic support column 212, adjustment hole 311 and limit bolt 312. The support height of the telescopic support column 212 can be changed to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the photovoltaic panel body 214 and make it easy to adapt and install.

[0035] The heat pump air conditioning unit 111 has a fixing screw 313 installed inside, which is installed inside the mounting surface.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] When using a heat pump air conditioner with a self-cleanable photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module is directly electrically connected to the battery and the heat pump air conditioning unit 111 via a DC controller. The controller is connected to the heater of the heat pump air conditioning unit 111 via a control switch. When the photovoltaic module is self-cleaning, the cleaning rack 216 can be directly driven by the drive component, so that the multi-mode cleaning unit set at the bottom of the cleaning rack 216 can be adapted for cleaning. The cleaning brush 219 can dry sweep the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214, the rotating spray 220 can wash the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214 with water, and the pneumatic nozzle 221 can slide the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 214 for operations such as snow removal. The three-in-one cleaning unit has high cleaning efficiency for the surface of the photovoltaic panel, saves cleaning time, and improves the cleaning effect.

[0038] When using a heat pump air conditioner with this cleanable photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic unit can be adjusted using the telescopic support column 212, adjustment hole 311 and limit bolt 312. The support height of the telescopic support column 212 can be changed to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the photovoltaic panel body 214, making it convenient for its installation and use. The operation is now complete.
