This creates risks and carries the possibility of causing mechanical damage to the panel surface. In addition, cleaning operations are more frequent in cases where heavy snowfall continues. It may need to be repeated at intervals. Other known solutions include electrical resistors and heating films on the panel surface. melting snow and ice by heating them using heating elements such as heating elements 25 These systems are located in [location]. However, these systems cause additional energy consumption, using a portion of the generated electrical energy back within the system.

Central elastic load-bearing element Description of the Invention: The invention describes snow and ice formed on photovoltaic panels (2) due to environmental conditions. enabling the removal of the load with the help of controlled mechanical flexion movements. It is a mechanical support system. The system is located within the photovoltaic panel system (1) 20 built on a flexible support subframe (7) located under the photovoltaic panel (2). The photovoltaic panel (2), photovoltaic cell array (3), front protective glass (4), rear It includes the protective layer (5) and the panel frame (6). The panel frame (6) is flexible. carrier subframe (7) panel mounting feet (25), bottom mounting brackets (26) and chassis It is connected by means of connecting plates (27). 25 Flexible carrier subframe (7), longitudinal carrier placed on the main carrier chassis (8) It consists of profiles (9) and transverse carrier profiles (10). The main carrier chassis (8) is the system's foundation supports that transfer mechanical loads to the ground or the main supporting structure It is an element. Longitudinal support profiles (9) and transverse support profiles (10) form the panel frame. (6) 30 by connecting them together in a way that will support controlled elastic deformation It forms a load-bearing structure. Flexible carrier subframe (7) is controlled unlike classic rigid panel carriers. It is designed to exhibit elastic behavior. Thus, along the panel frame (6) The mechanical forces generated are not transmitted directly to the panel, but rather to the supporting structure. Low-amplitude mechanical flexion is applied to the panel surface by being distributed in a controlled manner. 35 This structure enables the creation of photovoltaic movements. 7 While maintaining the mechanical safety of the cell array (3), snow and ice formed on the panel surface 5 A mechanical infrastructure suitable for the controlled release of the load is being created. At this stage, the system does not only function as a structure that supports the panel, also controlled mechanics, which will be explained in detail in later chapters. It constitutes the basic carrier platform of the flexion wave generating mechanism. Thus, the carrier system and the mechanical wave generation system are integrated into a single unit. They work together within the organization. The invention includes controlled mechanical flexion on a flexible carrier subframe (7). the creation of movements, effective management of snow and ice load occurring on the panel surface It is based on the principle of mechanical wave generation, which enables the removal of waves in this way. For this purpose, the central flexing platform (11) on the flexible carrier subframe (7) 15 The central flex platform (11) is formed at the mechanical center of the panel geometry. or to correspond to the region where the load distribution is most optimal It is positioned and the mechanical movements created are controlled along the panel. It forms the main hub that enables its distribution in this manner. The flexible flexion zone (12) is located on the central stretching platform (11), and 20 This region is the primary working area where controlled elastic deformation occurs. Flexible The flexion zone (12) prevents the carrier system from behaving completely rigidly, thus defining the flexion zone (12). It allows elastic bending movement within the limits. Thus, the panel carrier Controlled flexion movements without sudden impacts or irregular vibrations in its structure. is being created. 25 Flexion wave generator for the purpose of moving the flexible flexion zone (12) The mechanism (13) is used. The flexion wave generating mechanism (13), by generating mechanical motion at a specific frequency and controlled amplitude, flexible carrier substrates It transfers into the skeleton (7). The mechanism in question is manual, electric motor, linear actuator, electromechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic or similar different drive types 30 They can be designed to be operated with the systems. Thus, according to the usage conditions. Depending on the situation, different operating characteristics can be obtained. Drive shaft (14) for the purpose of driving the flex wave generating mechanism (13) It is used. The drive shaft (14) drives the generated rotational movement using eccentric drive. by transmitting it to the element (15) it produces nonlinear controlled mechanical motion 35 It brings about the eccentric drive element (15), the rotational movement with eccentric geometry. with the help of which it converts into a periodic rising and falling motion, thus the center 8 Creating controlled elastic deformation on the stretching platform (11) 5 It provides. The motion obtained from the eccentric drive element (15) is transferred to the motion transmission lever (16) The motion is transmitted to the central stretching platform (11) via the motion transmission lever (16), By enabling the transmission of mechanical forces in the desired direction, it allows flexion movement. It contributes to the even distribution of movement across the panel. Movement transmission lever 10 Elastic connection element (17) between (16) and the central stretching platform (11) It is used. The elastic coupling element (17) absorbs sudden load changes. It reduces mechanical stress and ensures continuity in motion transmission. The elastic connector (17) works together with the flexible joint (18). Flexible joint (18) allows elastic movements occurring at different angular positions, making the system 15 It improves mechanical compatibility. Thus, axial misalignment that may occur while the mechanism is operating can be prevented. Eccentricities, local stresses, and stresses resulting from rigid connections are significant. is being reduced to a certain extent. The elastic movements created by the flexible joint (18) are carried out by the leaf spring group (19). is supported. The leaf spring group (19) has certain limits of mechanical flexion movement 20 It enables this to happen within and determines the elastic characteristics of the system. It serves as one of the basic elements. The elastic leaf spring group (19) By selecting the specified characteristics, the system's operating frequency, flexion amplitude, and load-carrying capacity can be determined. It can be optimized depending on the application. After the flexion movement is complete, the system is returned to its starting position in a controlled manner. A return spring (20) is used to rotate it in this way. Return spring (20) releases the elastic energy stored during the flexion movement in a controlled manner. by allowing the mechanism to operate stably in continuous cycles This ensures that the mechanism maintains the same motion characteristics in every operating cycle. It is repeatable, the continuity of mechanical flexion waves generated on the panel is 30 This is protected and ensures motion stability during long-term use of the system. Controlled elastic deformation created by the mechanical device, in the next stage It forms the basis of the flexion waves that will be directed across the panel, and the panel by loosening and removing the snow and ice load on the surface in a controlled manner It provides opportunities. 35 Controlled flexion wave generated by mechanism (13) Elastic movement is not limited to the central stretching platform (11) but also to the flexible carrier 9 It spreads in a controlled manner along the lower skeleton (7). The mechanical movement created is 5 Flexion damping to ensure homogeneous distribution across the panel surface. element (21), wave guiding beam (22), wave distribution coupling (23), edge flexion support (24), elastic support bed (28), motion limiting stopper (29), flexion amplitude adjustment mechanism (30), flexion transmission plate (31), motion balancing lever (32), flexion balancing element (33), panel end support (34), flexion guide element (35), 10 wave limiting buffer (36), flexion generating plate (37) and central elastic carrier Member (38) works together. The first elastic movement created on the central stretching platform (11) is primarily flexion. The mechanical force is transferred to the production plate (37). The flexion production plate (37) transfers the mechanical force. By preventing the movement from concentrating at a single point, it spreads the movement over a wider surface and 15 It enables the creation of the initial form of a controlled flexion wave. Central elastic located under or in connection with the flexion production plate (37) The carrier element (38) enables the controlled storage of the generated mechanical movement and It ensures even distribution across the panel. Central elastic carrier. element (38) is also the main carrier that determines the elastic rigidity of the system 20 It is one of the elements that can withstand sudden load changes that may occur during mechanical cycles. By absorbing it, it contributes to maintaining the movement characteristics. The mechanical movement generated in the flexion production plate (37) is the flexion transmission plate. (31) is transferred to different regions of the flexible carrier subframe (7). The flexion transmission plate (31) distributes the generated elastic deformation over a wide area 25 continuity of the controlled mechanical flexion wave propagating across the panel This ensures that the movement is not limited to the central area, but extends to the entire panel surface. It is spreading in a controlled manner to almost all of them. Mechanical movement originating from the flexion transmission plate (31) wave guiding beam (22) It progresses in the direction determined by. Wave guiding beam (22), mechanical 30 by preventing the wave from deviating in unwanted directions, the movement proceeds along the length of the panel. It ensures that it progresses in a controlled manner. Together with the wave guiding beam (22) The working wave distribution link (23) ensures that the movement is evenly distributed across the panel width. It helps in sharing and homogeneous elastic deformation on the panel. It contributes to its creation. 35 Mechanical movement guided by wave distribution coupling (23), edge flexion When it reaches its support (24), controlled elastic bending occurs at the panel edges. Edge flexion support (24) prevents excessive 5 that may occur in the panel end regions. By reducing stresses, it allows the wave to continue all the way to the panel edges, thus reducing snow and helps the ice sheet to loosen not only in the central region but throughout the entire panel. is happening. During the mechanical movement that progresses along the panel, the elastic support bearing (28) is flexible By supporting the carrier subframe (7) at certain points, the movement is controlled. 10 It enables the realization of the elastic support bed (28), local load concentrations. It reduces fatigue of the panel carrier system and prevents elastic deformation. It contributes to its formation in a more stable manner. In order for the system to remain within safe mechanical limits during operation. The motion limiter stopper (29) is used. The motion limiter stopper (29) is 15 by limiting the maximum amount of flexion of the panel frame (6), photovoltaic cell excessive deformations that may occur on the array (3) and other mechanical elements This prevents the system from losing its predetermined safe elasticity in each operating cycle. It operates within deformation limits. The system has 20 different panel sizes, different panel thicknesses, and different environmental loads. A flexion amplitude adjustment mechanism (30) is used to enable adaptation. The flexion amplitude adjustment mechanism (30) adjusts the amplitude of the generated mechanical wave. by changing the elastic movements at low snow loads, and at high snow and ice loads. In these situations, controlled flexion movements with higher amplitudes can be obtained. This allows the system to easily adapt to different climatic conditions. It can be adapted. The mechanical flexion wave propagating across the panel must maintain its balanced character. For this purpose, the motion balancing arm (32) and the flexion balancing element (33) together It performs the function of balancing the motion arm (32), distributing the mechanical loads evenly across the panel. 30 flexion balancing element (33) distributes the phase that may occur during movement. It reduces variations and local deformations on the panel surface. The elastic movement acquires a smoother, continuous, and more homogeneous character. The panel end support (34), located in the panel end regions, is the end of the panel frame (6). It supports the sections and prevents the wave motion from spilling outside the panel. Panel end supports (34) also prevent excessive bending that may occur at the panel edges. 35 By limiting it, it contributes to the preservation of structural integrity. 11 The flexion guide element (35) guides the generated mechanical wave along the determined path. It acts as a guiding element that enables its progress along the way, It helps the movement to progress steadily within the carrier system. The wave limiting buffer (36) controls the wave in the panel end regions. By ensuring damping, it prevents the occurrence of sudden reflections, mechanically. contributes to the cycles taking place in a quieter, more stable and longer-lasting manner. This mechanical arrangement creates a controlled flexion wave. The snow and ice layer moves evenly across the panel surface. The adhesion is gradually reduced and the load in question is relieved by the effect of gravity. It is naturally removed via the panel. The invention's working principle is to move 15 panels instead of moving the entire panel carrier system. only on flexible carrier subframe (7) controlled elastic deformation It is based on the creation of a high-mass panel structure. without the need to move the panel frame (6) low amplitude but Effective mechanical flexion waves are generated. These generated waves, The 20 between the snow and ice layer on the photovoltaic panel (2) and the panel surface It gradually reduces the adhesive force and the load in question is transferred due to the effect of gravity. This makes it easier to detach from the panel surface. When the system is started, the drive shaft (14) rotates the eccentric drive element (15) and The resulting rotational movement is transmitted to the central flexing platform via the motion transmission lever (16). (11) is transferred. During this movement, the elastic connecting element (17), flexible joint 25 (18), leaf spring group (19) and return spring (20) work together to provide mechanical forces It ensures that the transfer is carried out in a controlled manner and that the system starts at the end of each cycle. This allows it to return to its position safely. Thus, mechanically without any significant change in motion characteristics throughout the cycles Long-term and stable operation is ensured. 30 Controlled elastic deformation, flexion created on the central stretching platform (11) production plate (37), central elastic carrier element (38) and flexion transmission plate (31) It is converted into a mechanical wave that travels across the panel. The wave guiding beam (22), wave distribution coupling (23) and flexion guide element (35) Thanks to this, this movement is directed in accordance with the panel geometry, allowing the panel to move in 35 different directions. Similar elastic deformation characteristics are created in these regions. Movement 12 The balancing arm (32) and the flexion balancing element (33) can prevent 5 that may occur along the panel. It maintains the continuity of the mechanical wave by reducing local variations. The layer of snow or ice adheres to the panel surface with a certain adhesion force. As controlled mechanical flexion waves move across the panel surface, much of the panel surface is affected. Small elastic bending movements occur, resulting in snow and ice. Microcracks and stress differences occur within the layer. Thus, panel 10 The adhesion force between the surface and the snow or ice layer gradually decreases. As the adhesive force decreases, the snow and ice layer shifts due to its own weight and the effect of wind. or it can easily detach from the panel due to the panel's tilt. This process during which the panel surface is directly scraped, high temperatures are applied, or There is no need to use chemical solvents. 15 The operating characteristics of the system can be modified according to environmental conditions. Flexion The amplitude of the elastic movement created by using the amplitude adjustment mechanism (30) is increased and This can be reduced, thus allowing for different operating conditions for light snow loads and heavy icing. Modes can be obtained. Similarly, the eccentric drive element (15) flexion 20 by changing its geometry or adjusting the drive speed The frequency and propagation characteristics of the waves can also be changed. Thus, the system different panel sizes, different panel rigidities, and different climatic conditions It is adaptable. Excessive mechanical stresses that may occur during operation can be prevented by motion-limiting or stopping devices. It is limited by (29). The motion limiter stopper (29), panel 25 to prevent the exceeding of the allowed elastic deformation limits of its frame (6) and It protects the safety of the photovoltaic cell array (3). In addition, the panel end support (34), elastic support mattress reduces excessive bending that may occur at panel edges. (28) by damping the load concentrations that occur on the carrier system It extends the mechanical life. Wave limiter 30 with flexion damping element (21) buffer (36) reduces residual oscillations that may occur at the end of the cycle by reducing mechanical It ensures that the movement ends in a controlled manner. The mechanical elements used in this invention are made of different materials. It can be produced. Main carrier chassis (8), longitudinal carrier profiles (9), transverse carrier profiles (10), panel mounting feet (25), bottom mounting brackets (26) and chassis connection 35 plates (27) steel, galvanized steel, aluminum alloys, stainless steel or high It can be manufactured from high-strength composite materials. Leaf spring group (19), elastic 13 connecting element (17), flexible joint (18), central elastic carrier element (38) and elastic 5 The support bed (28) is made of spring steel, elastomer, polyurethane, rubber-based elastic materials. or can be produced from similar elastic materials with high fatigue resistance. Thus, the system will be able to operate reliably for extended periods under various environmental conditions. It has mechanical durability. The invention is not limited to photovoltaic panels of specific dimensions, but can also be made of different lengths, 10 applicable to panel systems of various widths and thicknesses It is scalable. Similarly, the mechanical drive system is for a single panel. It can be used as a common drive to operate multiple panels simultaneously. It can also be linked to the mechanism. Flexion wave generating mechanism (13), 15 panels placed at different points in the panel sequences, consecutively or equally in long rows of panels It is also possible to generate time-based mechanical waves. This invention allows for the use of panel carriers without the need for additional heating systems. without moving the entire structure and without damaging the panel surface controlled mechanical flexion waves without generating high-frequency vibrations With the help of, the snow and ice load accumulating on the photovoltaic panel surface can be effectively removed. It enables removal, has low energy consumption, a simple mechanical structure, and a long lifespan. It has low maintenance requirements and is modular, easily adaptable to different photovoltaic systems. It forms a flexible supporting substructure. The controlled mechanical flexion waves generated within the scope of the invention affect the panel surface. not discontinuous vibrations progressing along its length, but a specific direction, amplitude and frequency 25 These are controlled elastic deformation movements that have a specific characteristic. This allows photovoltaics to... Photovoltaic cell array (3) on panel (2), front protective glass (4), rear No sudden impact effects are created on the protective layer (5) and the panel frame (6), instead, controlled bending movements that remain within the elastic working limits of the panel. This is done in such a way that it negatively affects the electrical performance of the panel. High-acceleration vibrations that could affect the panel are prevented while snow and ice load is applied. Its adhesion to the surface is effectively reduced. Flexible carrier subframe (7) is a carrier that only serves in mechanical wave generation. not only is it a system, but it also handles the static loads of the panel under normal operating conditions. It transports it safely. Wind load, snow load, and mounting load on the solar panel are 35. loads and thermal expansions main carrier chassis (8), longitudinal carrier profiles (9) and transverse While the carrier profiles (10) are met, the controlled flexion movement is only 14 This occurs in predetermined elastic regions. Thus, the load-bearing system's 5 The continuous movement of the entire system is prevented; only mechanically designed flexible structures are used. The regions are subjected to controlled deformation. The central stretching platform (11) and the flexible flexion zone (12) determine the elastic behavior of the system. These regions form the basic areas that determine its characteristics. The geometries of these regions, Their thicknesses, material properties, and support connections vary according to panel types. The propagation of the mechanical flexion wave that will be generated can be modified. Its characteristics can be optimized according to the desired application. Thus, different maintaining the same operating principle for photovoltaic panels (2) of length and width However, it is possible to design load-bearing substructures that exhibit different elastic behavior. The flexion wave generating mechanism (13) can be driven from a single point or panel 15 with the help of mechanisms placed at multiple points along the way It can be operated. In applications where multiple mechanisms are used, mechanical The movements are controlled to create simultaneous, sequential, or specific phase differences. This allows the flexion waves propagating across the panel surface to interact with each other. supporting, creating controlled elastic movement in different regions, or specific 20 This allows for a higher mechanical impact to be generated in these areas. The drive shaft (14), eccentric drive element (15) and power transmission lever (16) are different. They can be produced in various geometries, and the amount of eccentricity, arm length, angle of rotation, and the mechanical motion characteristics that the system will generate by changing the motion transmission ratio It is adjustable. Similarly, the elastic connecting element (17), flexible joint (18), 25 The leaf spring group (19) and the return spring (20) have different elastic coefficients. By selecting from the elements, the system's natural frequency, return speed, and energy storage Its capacity can be determined in a way that is suitable for the application. The flexion damping element (21) can prevent unwanted mechanical problems that may occur during movement. It absorbs oscillations, preventing the system from resonating. Wave 30 The guide beam (22) and the wave distribution link (23), the mechanical energy generated while enabling controlled transmission across the panel, edge flexion support (24) It reduces stress concentrations that may occur in the panel end regions. Thus, similar elastic movement characteristics are observed across almost the entire panel surface. This is achieved and it is possible to loosen the snow and ice load homogeneously. 35 is happening. Panel mounting foot (25), bottom mounting bracket (26) and chassis mounting plate (27), system 5 It can be easily mounted on existing solar panel mounting structures. These connections can be in the form of detachable or permanent connections. These can be achieved using bolted connections, pinned connections, and welded connections. or similar mechanical connection methods can be used. Thus, the invention is only Not in newly established solar energy systems, but in existing photovoltaic panel systems, 10 It can also be implemented in a way that allows for later integration. The elastic support bed (28) used within the scope of the invention, motion limiting stopper (29), flexion amplitude adjustment mechanism (30), flexion transmission plate (31), movement balancing arm (32), flexion balancing element (33), panel end support (34), flexion guide element (35), wave limiting buffer (36), flexion production plate (37) and 15 central elastic load-bearing element (38), individually or in different combinations They can be designed in a way that allows them to be used. The dimensions and geometries of these elements, connection types, materials and placement of the photovoltaic panel to be applied dimensions, characteristics of the load-bearing system, environmental load values ​​and desired mechanical It can be changed depending on performance. 20 Therefore, the invention is not limited to the example application described herein, but also includes the claims. Provided that the specified basic technical specifications are maintained, different mechanical drive systems can be used. elastic elements, different load-bearing geometries, different connection methods, and different materials. It encompasses all applications that can be carried out using choices. The invention Its core is 25 on the flexible carrier subframe (7) located under the photovoltaic panel (2). by generating controlled mechanical flexion waves and these waves moving across the panel surface by directing the snow and ice load accumulating on the panel to the panel surface. a mechanical system that enables efficient removal without causing damage Therefore, the equivalent of the technical specifications defined in the requirements. Applications that are of the same nature and provide the same technical result are also within the scope of the invention. 30 It is clear that it needs to be evaluated within this context. Furthermore, the mechanical flexion wave should be considered within the panel. along, one-way, two-way, from center to edges, from edges to center, or of the panel It is possible for them to propagate in the form of multiple mechanical waves generated in different regions. Similarly, multiple flexion wave generating mechanisms can be synchronized or separate. By operating in different phases, different wave characteristics can be obtained on the panel surface. 35 These alternative applications do not alter the fundamental operating principle of the invention.

Thus, controlled mechanical flexion waves are created. By only generating it when needed, unnecessary energy consumption can be prevented. The service life of mechanical components is increased and the overall operational efficiency of the system is improved. It can be upgraded. The amount of elastic deformation that occurs while the system is operating is controlled by the flexion amplitude adjustment mechanism 10. (30) can be changed according to the needs of the application with the help of flexion amplitude. The adjustment mechanism (30) adjusts the effective amount of movement of the eccentric drive element (15). the mechanical transmission ratio of the transmission arm (16) or the operation of the elastic elements It can be done in a way that changes its characteristics. Thus, different panels Optimal flexion for various dimensions, different panel thicknesses, and different environmental load conditions. 15 movement can be achieved. The flexion damping element (21) can dampen unwanted objects that may occur during the motion cycle. absorbing vibrations, the wave limiting buffer (36) is located in the panel end regions. It ensures the controlled termination of the mechanical wave.

Number, working time, movement frequency and flexion amplitude according to the requirements of the application 30 It can be adjusted accordingly, and the system is only activated when necessary. Unnecessary energy consumption is prevented. In this respect, the invention differs from classic vibration systems in that it operates on a photovoltaic panel. not generating random vibrations, not moving the entire panel carrier system, instead, controlled, directed mechanical flexion waves are generated. 35 by bringing snow, ice and similar environmental loads that accumulate on the panel surface away from the panel surface an integrated system that enables safe, controlled and low energy consumption removal. 19 It offers a mechanical support system.

This allows... The mechanical motion characteristics that the system will generate will depend on the application area. They can be modified, and solutions suitable for different panel types can be developed. The leaf spring group (19) can be formed from one or more leaf springs, or helical 15 springs, composite elastic elements, torsion springs, or similar elastic energy storage devices It can also be supported by its elements. The return spring (20) is the working of the mechanism. a different spring that will allow it to return safely to its starting position at the end of the cycle This can be achieved in its characteristics. Thus, the operating cycles of the system. repeating the same mechanical behavior throughout and maintaining its performance over long-term use 20 protection is possible.

It ensures controlled spreading and even distribution in different areas of the panel surface. This contributes to the occurrence of elastic deformation. Thus, different panels Similar mechanical operating characteristics can be obtained even at these smaller dimensions. The flexion balancing element (33) compensates for the load differences occurring within the system. to have different elastic stiffness values ​​in order to balance It can be produced. The motion balancing arm (32) is a single-axis or multi-axis linkage 30 It can have a geometry that allows mechanical forces to be more balanced across the panel. This structure helps in spreading it in this way, especially large-sized ones. Local stress concentrations that can occur in photovoltaic panels are significant. is being reduced. The panel end support (34) works together with the panel frame (6) to secure the panel edges. 35 It ensures that the edge flexion support (24) is supported in this way, and the panel end ensuring that elastic movements occurring in these regions remain within controlled limits. It contributes. The wave limiting buffer (36) at the end of the mechanical cycle 5 by absorbing any residual kinetic energy that may be generated, preventing unwanted waste within the panel. It prevents oscillations from occurring. Thus, the system provides both mechanical silence. It also offers the advantage of a long service life.
