Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic angle adjustment device for a solar water purification station. Background Technology
[0002] After leaving the water treatment plant, tap water travels through long water pipelines (galvanized pipes) and facilities such as high-rise water towers and tanks, encountering numerous pollutants such as rust, dirt, and bacteria. These pollutants interact in complex ways to generate many toxic and carcinogenic substances. To improve water purity, water purification stations are needed to purify the water, while also heating and maintaining its temperature. To reduce energy waste, some water purification stations typically install solar panels on top of the water tanks to collect and utilize electricity. For example, patent application CN202322128582.9 discloses a heating and insulation device for water purification stations. In this patent, the solar panels can be adjusted using telescopic rods and hinge blocks. However, in actual use, operators need to frequently adjust the bolts and manually adjust the angle of the solar panels. Adjusting the angle of the solar panels is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring dedicated personnel for constant adjustment, thus increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0004] An automatic angle adjustment device for a solar water purification station includes a water purification station body. A mounting base is provided on the upper surface of the water purification station body. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base. The drive motor is vertically mounted. A connecting block is provided on the drive shaft of the drive motor. The lower surface of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor. A mounting column is connected to the upper surface of the connecting block. A placement plate is hinged to the left and right ends of the mounting column via a first hinge block. Both placement plates are used to mount solar panels. The positive terminal of one solar panel is connected in series with the negative terminal of the other solar panel and then connected to the positive terminal of the drive motor. The negative terminal of one solar panel is connected in series with the positive terminal of the other solar panel and then connected to the negative terminal of the drive motor. A support member is provided between the two placement plates.
[0005] Furthermore, the support member includes a second hinge block, an external threaded rod, and an internal threaded rod. The end faces of both placement plates are provided with the second hinge block. One end of the external threaded rod is threadedly adapted to one end of the internal threaded rod, and the other end of the external threaded rod is hinged to one of the placement plates through the second hinge block. The other end of the internal threaded rod is hinged to the other placement plate through the second hinge block.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting block is connected to the lower part of the mounting column via adjusting bolts.
[0007] Furthermore, a support rod is hinged to the upper part of the mounting column via a third hinge block, and the other end of the support rod abuts against the upper end face of the connecting block.
[0008] Furthermore, a rubber disc is provided at the end of the support rod that abuts against the connecting block.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] When the sun moves and is no longer directly facing the mounting column, the light-receiving area and light intensity of the two solar panels are different, resulting in different voltage and current intensities. This creates a voltage difference in the drive motor, causing the drive motor to automatically rotate the solar panels towards the sun. Attached Figure Description

[0021] refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0022] An automatic angle adjustment device for a solar water purification station includes a water purification station body 1, which can heat and keep the water warm. The water purification station body 1 also has a storage battery, which is electrically connected to a solar panel 10 to store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 10. The water purification station body 1 is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail.
[0023] The upper surface of the water purification station body 1 is provided with a mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 is a rectangular plate that is laid flat on the upper surface of the water purification station body 1. The four corners of the mounting base 2 can be fixedly connected to the water purification station body 1 by screw connection. The mounting base 2 provides a uniform installation reference surface to ensure the alignment of other components with the water purification station body 1 and reduce assembly problems caused by processing errors.
[0024] A drive motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 2. Preferably, the drive motor 3 is a DC motor that can be driven by electricity generated by the solar panel 10. In this invention, the drive motor 3 is vertically mounted, meaning its drive shaft is perpendicular to the bottom surface and pointing upwards. The drive motor 3 can be mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base 2 using existing methods such as connecting flanges. A connecting block 4 is provided at the upper end of the drive shaft. The lower end of the connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 3 by bolts. A mounting column 7 is connected to the upper surface of the connecting block 4. The mounting column 7 is vertically positioned, and a placement plate 9 is hinged to both the left and right ends of the mounting column 7 via a first hinge block 8. Both placement plates 9 are used to mount the solar panel 10. Installation can be achieved using existing methods such as bolts or adhesive. The positive terminal of one solar panel 10 is connected in series with the negative terminal of the other solar panel 10 and then connected to the positive terminal of the drive motor 3. The negative terminal of one solar panel 10 is connected in series with the positive terminal of the other solar panel 10 and then connected to the negative terminal of the drive motor 3. A support member is provided between the two placement plates 9.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Two solar panels 10 are symmetrically arranged with the mounting column 7 as the axis of symmetry. That is, to maximize the power generation of the solar panels 10, both solar panels 10 need to face the sun directly, i.e., the mounting column 7, the axis of symmetry of the two solar panels 10, needs to face the sun directly. Therefore, in this utility model, when the mounting column 7 faces the sun directly, the two solar panels 10 receive the same amount of sunlight and have the same area, resulting in the same power generation and voltage and current intensity. Consequently, there is no voltage difference between the two solar panels 10 and the drive motor 3, the drive motor 3 does not operate, the position of the solar panels 10 remains unchanged, and any excess electrical energy generated by the two solar panels 10 is stored in the battery. When the sun... When the sun moves, meaning it is no longer directly facing the mounting column 7, the light-receiving area and intensity of the two solar panels 10 are different, resulting in different voltage and current intensities. For example, if the sun moves from east to west (i.e., to the left), the light-receiving area and intensity of the solar panel 10 on the left side of the mounting column 7 are greater than that of the solar panel 10 on the right. The current generated by the left solar panel 10 is greater than that of the right solar panel 10. This creates a positive voltage difference between the two solar panels 10, causing the motor 3 to rotate in the forward direction. When the mounting column 7 is directly facing the sun, there is no voltage difference between the two solar panels 10, and the motor 3 stops working. Furthermore, the excess energy generated by the two solar panels 10 is stored in the battery. Conversely, when the sun is positioned slightly to the right of the solar panel 10, a reverse voltage difference is generated between the two solar panels 10, causing the motor 3 to rotate in the reverse direction. This allows for automatic adjustment of the solar panel 10 position, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by additional operators, saving time and effort.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the connection of the placement plate 9, at least three pairs of symmetrically arranged first hinge blocks 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the mounting column 7 from top to bottom. The at least three pairs of first hinge blocks 8 are evenly distributed on the mounting column 7, so that the placement plate 9 is connected at multiple points, ensuring the reliability of the connection of the placement plate 9 and avoiding single-point force when the placement plate 9 rotates. The placement plate 9 and the first hinge block 8 can be hinged by existing pins.
[0027] In this invention, the support member is used to support and adjust the rotation angle of the two placement plates 9. The sensitivity of the device to changes in the sun's position is controlled by controlling the angle between the two placement plates 9. When the angle between the two placement plates 9 is at its maximum, that is, when the angle between the two placement plates 9 is 180°, the two solar panels 10 are on the same plane. When the sun's position changes little, sunlight can still evenly irradiate the two solar panels 10. Only when the sun's position changes significantly will the angle of sunlight change significantly, resulting in a slight voltage difference between the two solar panels 10, which in turn causes the drive motor 3 to rotate. As the angle between the two placement plates 9 gradually decreases, such as when the angle between the two placement plates 9 is 150°, when the sun's position changes little, the angle between the two solar panels 10 will cause them to block each other. Therefore, the irradiation intensity between the two solar panels 10 will inevitably be different, resulting in a voltage difference, which causes the drive motor 3 to work, thereby adjusting the position of the placement plates 9. The angle can be adjusted according to actual needs. Of course, if the angle between the two placement plates 9 is too small, when the mounting column faces the sun, only the side of the two solar panels 10 closest to the mounting column 7 will receive strong sunlight, thus reducing the power generation efficiency of the solar panels 10. Therefore, the angle between the two placement plates 9 should not be less than 120° to ensure that every part of the solar panels 10 receives strong sunlight when the mounting column 7 faces the sun.
[0028] Specifically, the support member includes a second hinge block 11, an external threaded rod 12, and an internal threaded rod 13. The end faces of both placement plates 9 are provided with the second hinge block 11. One end of the external threaded rod 12 is threadedly fitted to one end of the internal threaded rod 13, and the other end of the external threaded rod 12 is hinged to one of the placement plates 9 via the second hinge block 11. The other end of the internal threaded rod 13 is hinged to the other placement plate 9 via the second hinge block 11. Figure 3As shown, the external threaded rod 12 is a solid cylindrical rod, and the internal threaded rod 13 is a hollow rod. One end of the external threaded rod 12 is fitted with one end of the internal threaded rod 13. The connection method and hinge principle of the second hinge block 11 are the same as those of the first hinge block 8. When it is necessary to adjust the angle between the two placement plates 9, it is achieved by rotating the internal threaded rod 13. When the internal threaded rod 13 is rotated in the forward direction, the external threaded rod 12 and the internal threaded rod 13 move relative to each other, and the included angle between the two placement plates 9 becomes smaller. Conversely, when the internal threaded rod 13 is rotated in the reverse direction, the external threaded rod 12 and the internal threaded rod 13 move in opposite directions, and the angle between the two placement plates 9 becomes larger.
[0029] The internal thread rod 13 has a bearing 5 fitted inside one end of the second hinge block 11, and a coaxial hinge rod 6 is rotatably connected through the bearing 5. One end of the hinge rod 6 is connected to the bearing 5, and the other end is hinged to the second hinge block 11. The internal thread rod 13 is hinged through the bearing 5, and it can also rotate relative to the external thread rod 12.
[0030] Specifically, the connecting block 4 is connected to the lower part of the mounting column 7 via an adjusting bolt 14. Depending on the latitude and longitude of the area where the device is used, the angle between the connecting block 4 and the mounting column 7 can be adjusted using the adjusting bolt 14, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the placement plate 9 and the solar panel 10 to face the sun. In this invention, the angle between the connecting block 4 and the mounting column 7 is preferably 60°, meaning the upward tilt angle of the solar panel 10 is 60 degrees, allowing sunlight to shine perpendicularly onto the solar panel 10. The specific adjustment method is as follows: when it is necessary to adjust the angle between the connecting block 4 and the mounting column 7, slightly loosen the nut on the adjusting bolt 14. Then, the mounting column 7 can be manually rotated to adjust the angle. After the angle of the mounting column 7 is adjusted, fix the position of the mounting column 7 and tighten the nut on the adjusting bolt 14.
[0031] Specifically, a support rod 16 is hinged to the upper part of the mounting column 7 via a third hinge block 15, and the other end of the support rod 16 abuts against the upper surface of the connecting block 4. Because the mounting column 7 is relatively tall and also houses components such as the solar panel 10, it is quite heavy. When the mounting column 7 and the connecting block 4 are tilted, the stability is not strong when fixed solely by the adjusting bolt 14. The support rod 16 provides support for the mounting column 7, further enhancing the stability between the mounting column 7 and the connecting block 4.
[0032] Specifically, the feature is that: a rubber disc 17 is provided at one end of the support rod 16 that abuts against the connecting block 4. The rubber disc 17 can be a suction cup and hinged to the support rod 16, which can enhance the friction between the support rod 16 and the connecting block 4, and fix the support rod 16 by pressure.
