Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel technology, specifically a self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Dust easily accumulates on photovoltaic panels. Dust reflects, scatters, and absorbs solar radiation, which reduces the transmittance of the photovoltaic panels and thus affects their power generation. This is especially true in areas with long periods without rain and high levels of sand and dust, where regular cleaning of the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panels is necessary.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN221553203U discloses a photovoltaic panel cleaning device. This prior art uses a spray component to spray liquid, and the cleaning component can use the continuously flowing liquid to clean the photovoltaic panels. However, it requires manual handling to continuously hold the device for cleaning. When cleaning large areas of photovoltaic panels, it is too laborious, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the brushes become stained with impurities, and when they are not completely cleaned, they need to be removed for cleaning, which is also troublesome and laborious. Authorization announcement number CN220935119U discloses a photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism, which includes... The photovoltaic panel body has a water storage tank at its bottom. Support boxes are fixedly installed on both sides of the photovoltaic panel body. A reciprocating screw is rotatably installed in one of the support boxes, and a support rod is fixedly installed in the other support box. Moving blocks are sleeved on the side walls of the reciprocating screw and the support rod. A first mounting plate and a second mounting plate are fixedly installed on the opposite side of the two moving blocks. A brush plate is provided below the first mounting plate. This prior art installs the cleaning mechanism on the photovoltaic panel, eliminating the need for manual removal. However, if this structure is installed on every photovoltaic panel, the cost is high and maintenance is troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism, which solves the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism, including a guide rail, which is detachably connected to the top of a support. Several photovoltaic panels are laid on the support. The top end of the guide rail is slidably connected to an electric guide rail, and the bottom end of the electric guide rail is detachably connected to a movable base. The electric guide rail is used to move a sliding box and a slider simultaneously, with the sliding box located above the slider. The sliding box is evenly provided with nozzles and is connected to a liquid supply component. An electric telescopic rod is provided on the slider. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to a connecting rod. The connecting rod passes through the slider and is connected to a rotary motor. The output shaft of the rotary motor is connected to a brush. The movable seat is equipped with an inclined bucket, and a valve is installed at the bottom of the inclined bucket.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the bracket is provided with a support rail, and a slide rod connected to the movable seat is slidably connected on the support rail.

[0007] Preferably, the liquid supply assembly includes a liquid tank and a water pump mounted on a movable base. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the liquid tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a telescopic hose. The telescopic hose is connected to a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is connected to a sliding box.

[0008] Preferably, the movable seat is equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the electric guide rail, the electric telescopic rod, the rotary motor, the valve and the water pump.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the top of the inclined bucket away from the photovoltaic panel is integrally formed with a protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, the liquid tank is a transparent water tank, and the top of the liquid tank is threadedly connected to a cover.

[0011] This invention provides a self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism features an electric guide rail that simultaneously moves the sliding box and slider, allowing the nozzle to spray water onto the photovoltaic panel. A rotating motor drives the brush to clean the dust off the photovoltaic panel using the water flow from above. The electric guide rail is mounted on a moving base and guided by the guide rails on the bracket. This ensures that the electric guide rail is supported on both the top and bottom sides when the moving base is manually pushed. Compared to manually holding the cleaning mechanism, this saves labor intensity and improves cleaning efficiency, making it suitable for cleaning large-area photovoltaic panels.

[0012] 2. This self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism uses an electric telescopic rod to drive the connecting rod downwards, allowing the rotary motor to drive the brush into the tilting bucket. Water is then sprayed into the tilting bucket through the nozzle, and the rotary motor drives the brush to rotate inside the tilting bucket, thus cleaning the impurities on the brush without having to remove it.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0016] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions: First implementation: A self-cleaning photovoltaic panel cleaning mechanism includes a guide rail 1, which is detachably connected to the top of a support 2. Several photovoltaic panels 3 are laid on the support 2. The top end of the guide rail 1 is slidably connected to an electric guide rail 4, and the bottom end of the electric guide rail 4 is detachably connected to a movable base 5. The electric guide rail 4 is installed on the movable base 5, and its top is guided by the guide rail 1 on the support 2. This way, when the movable base 5 is manually pushed, the electric guide rail 4 has support on both its top and bottom sides, preventing it from being affected by tilting during manual pushing. Compared to manually holding the cleaning mechanism, this saves labor intensity and improves cleaning efficiency, making it suitable for cleaning large-area photovoltaic panels 3. The electric guide rail 4 is used to move the sliding box 6 and the slider 7 simultaneously, with the sliding box 6 located above the slider 7. The electric guide rail 4 uses a geared motor to drive the lead screw, so that the lead screw can drive the sliding box 6 and the slider 7 to move simultaneously. The sliding box 6 is evenly provided with nozzles 8, and the sliding box 6 is connected to the liquid supply component. The slider 7 is provided with an electric telescopic rod 9, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 is connected to a connecting rod 10. The connecting rod 10 passes through the slider 7 and is connected to a rotary motor 11. The output shaft of the rotary motor 11 is connected to a brush 12. The nozzles 8 spray water onto the photovoltaic panel 3, and the rotary motor 11 drives the brush 12 to rotate, which, together with the water flowing down from above, effectively cleans the dust on the photovoltaic panel 3. The movable base 5 is equipped with an inclined bucket 13, and the bottom of the inclined bucket 13 is equipped with a valve 14. When it is necessary to clean the brush 12, the brush 12 is moved to the top of the inclined bucket 13, and then the connecting rod 10 is driven down by the electric telescopic rod 9, so that the rotary motor 11 can drive the brush 12 into the inclined bucket 13. Water is then sprayed into the inclined bucket 13 through the nozzle 8. The rotary motor 11 drives the brush 12 to rotate in the inclined bucket 13, so that the impurities on the brush 12 can be cleaned by rotating in the water flow. Thus, the brush 12 can be cleaned without removing it. After cleaning, the brush is moved up away from the inclined bucket 13 and returned to the top of the photovoltaic panel 3 for continued use.

[0017] The movable seat 5 and the electric guide rail 4 are only guided by the guide rail 1, which results in poor stability. Therefore, a support rail 15 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 2. A slide rod 16 connected to the movable seat 5 is slidably connected to the support rail 15. In this way, the top is guided by the guide rail 1, and the bottom is guided by the slide rod 16 sliding in the support rail 15.

[0018] The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid tank 17 and a water pump 18 mounted on a movable base 5. The inlet of the water pump 18 is connected to the liquid tank 17, and the outlet of the water pump 18 is connected to a telescopic hose 19. The telescopic hose 19 is connected to a connecting pipe 20, and the connecting pipe 20 is connected to a sliding box 6. The water pump 18 draws liquid and sends it into the telescopic hose 19, then through the connecting pipe 20 to the sliding box 6, and finally sprays it out through the nozzle 8. The liquid tank 17 is a transparent water tank, and the top of the liquid tank 17 is threaded with a cover for observation and replenishment of liquid. The liquid tank 17 can store a mixture of spray water and cleaning liquid, or it can store only spray water to effectively clean and rinse dirt on the photovoltaic panel.

[0019] The movable seat 5 is equipped with a controller 21, which is electrically connected to the electric guide rail 4, the electric telescopic rod 9, the rotary motor 11, the valve 14 and the water pump 18, making it convenient for workers to control the operation of the electrical components mentioned in the text.

[0020] Because the photovoltaic panel 3 is laid at an angle, the brush 12 is in an angled state, and thus the tilting bucket 13 is also in an angled state. When water is poured into the tilting bucket 13, it will overflow before much water is poured in, which will affect the brush 12 from cleaning by the water flow. Therefore, a second implementation method is provided. The main difference between the second and first implementation methods is that the top of the tilting bucket 13 has an integrally formed protrusion on the side away from the photovoltaic panel 3, so that the tilting bucket 13 can hold more water through the protrusion.

[0021] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.
