[0028] The present invention provides the following embodiments Example 1
[0029] An embodiment of the present invention provides a photovoltaic module with an automatic cleaning system, as shown in Figure 1, including a brushing mechanism 1 and a liquid supply mechanism 2. The brushing mechanism 1 is arranged on a photovoltaic module mounting frame 4, and the liquid supply mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the photovoltaic module mounting frame 4.
[0030] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the brushing mechanism 1 moves above the photovoltaic module mounting frame 4 while simultaneously cleaning the solar panel 5, and the liquid supply mechanism 2 flushes the surface of the solar panel 5, removing debris such as dust and dirt from the surface of the solar panel 5, thereby ensuring that the solar panel 5 receives light effectively and stabilizing the power generation of the power generation module. The present invention solves the technical problem raised in the background art: existing photovoltaic modules generally lack automatic cleaning systems, which can easily affect the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system due to dust, dirt, leaves, bird droppings, etc. covering the surface. Example 2
[0031] Based on Example 1, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the brushing mechanism 1 includes a fixing frame 12, and the fixing frames 12 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the photovoltaic module mounting frame 4. Two screws 15 are respectively connected to the two fixing frames 12, and the screws 15 extend in the front-to-back direction. The driving assembly 11 is used to drive the screws 15.

The two ends of the cleaning roller brush 17 are connected to the bottom of the moving box 16, and the surface of the cleaning roller brush 17 contacts the surface of the solar panel 5. Among them, the ends of the cleaning roller brush 17 and the cleaning roller cotton 18 are connected to the bottom of the moving box 16 at a front-to-back interval. As shown in Figure 1, the two ends of the cleaning roller brush 17 can be directly connected to the bottom of the moving box 16, or the method shown in Figure 3 can be adopted;
[0032] Preferably, the fixing box 111 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the photovoltaic component mounting frame 4, and the driving component 11 is located in the fixing box 111.

[0033] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: In the drive assembly 11, the dual-output motor 112 drives the two bevel gears 13 to rotate. Through the cooperation of bevel gear 13 and bevel gear 2 114, the two screws 15 are driven to rotate synchronously on the fixed frame 12. The movable box 16 moves back and forth along the direction of the two screws 15 via the thread. As the movable box 16 moves, the cleaning roller brush 17 and cleaning roller cotton 18 move across the surface of the solar panel 5 to clean the surface of the solar panel 5. The above-mentioned screw 15 expands the cleaning range of the cleaning roller brush 17 and cleaning roller cotton 18. When cleaning is not required, the cleaning roller brush 17 and cleaning roller cotton 18 can be located at the rear side of the photovoltaic module mounting frame without affecting the use of the solar panel 5.
[0034] Example 3. Based on any one of Examples 1-2, as shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5, the liquid supply mechanism 2 includes a water tank 21, a cleaning component 22, and a circulation component 23. The circulation component 23 is arranged on the inner wall of the water tank 21, and the cleaning component 22 is arranged on the circulation component 23. A water adding pipe for adding water is also provided on one side of the water tank 21.
[0035] The cleaning assembly 22 includes a water pump 221 connected to the water inlet of a water pump 222, a water pipe 223 connected to the water outlet of the water pump 222, and a water outlet pipe 225 movably mounted on the top of the water tank 21. One end of a stopper 226 is fixed to the water outlet pipe 225, and the other end of the stopper 226 is slidably mounted in a chute provided on the top of the water tank 21. An elastic hose 224 connects the water pipe 223 to one end of the water outlet pipe 225. A nozzle 227 is positioned directly above the solar panel 5 and is in communication with the other end of the water outlet pipe 225. The stopper 226 can be driven to move horizontally by a horizontal drive assembly.
[0036] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: water for cleaning the solar panel 5 is added to the water tank 21 through the water adding pipe, the cleaning component 22 sprays water to clean the solar panel 5, and the nozzle 227 can expand the flushing range along the water outlet pipe 225.
[0037] Example 4, based on Example 3, as shown in FIG3, the movable box 16 is provided with:
[0038] The water tank 161 is connected to the movable box 16 by sliding up and down. The water tank 161 is connected to an auxiliary inlet pipe, which is connected to a first electric valve. The N-shaped tube 162 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water tank 161 via a fixed bracket. The upper end of the N-shaped tube 162 is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 161 via an auxiliary drain pipe 163. The auxiliary drain pipe 163 is provided with a second electric valve. A plurality of spring rods 164 are fixed between the N-shaped tube 162 and the inner wall of the lower end of the movable box 16.
[0039] Two groups of left-right symmetrical connection components, the connection components include: an arc tube 165, an auxiliary opening 168 is set on the upper part of the arc tube 165, the upper end of the arc tube 165 is sealed, the upper part of the arc tube 165 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving box 16 through a rotating shaft in the front-to-back direction, a support spring 166 is set between the arc tube 165 and the inner wall of the lower end of the moving box 16, a mounting frame 167 is set at the lower end of the arc tube 165, the cleaning roller brush 17 is rotatably set on the mounting frame 167, and an inlet and outlet for the cleaning roller brush 17 to enter and exit is set at the lower end of the moving box, wherein the inlet and outlet can be provided with a sealed door that opens and closes automatically.
[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:
[0041] 1. When the cleaning roller brush 17 is not needed, as shown in FIG3 , the cleaning roller brush 17 is stored in the movable box 16 to protect the cleaning roller brush 17;
[0042] 2. When the cleaning roller brush 17 needs to be used, the auxiliary inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet pipe 225 through the connecting hose. When water needs to be added to the water tank, the first electric valve is opened to allow water to enter the water tank 161. Under the action of the gravity of the water, the water tank 161 moves downward, so that the two ends of the lower part of the N-shaped tube 162 are respectively inserted into the two auxiliary openings 168. The N-shaped tube 162 continues to move downward with the water tank 161, and the arc tube 165 swings downward, so that the cleaning roller brush 17 extends out of the inlet and outlet for cleaning the solar panel. The water reaches the cleaning roller brush 17 through the water tank 161, the auxiliary drain pipe 163, and the arc tube 165, and can clean the cleaning roller brush 17, thereby ensuring the use effect of the cleaning roller brush 17.
[0043] 3. The present invention can achieve the up and down shaking of the cleaning roller brush 17 by adjusting the amount and flow rate of water entering the water tank 161, which is convenient for shaking out impurities during the cleaning process of the cleaning roller brush 17, and the movement of the cleaning roller brush 17 is controlled by water without the need for other power, which is convenient to control. Example 5
[0044] On the basis of embodiment 3 or 4, as shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5, the circulation component 23 includes a water inlet trough 231, which is fixed to one side of the water tank 21, a sleeve 234 is fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 21, a push rod 233 slides horizontally through the sleeve 234, a push block 1 235 and a push block 236 are fixed to the push rod 233, a screw 232 is rotatably arranged on the top of the water tank 21 through a bearing, one end of the screw 232 extends into the water inlet trough 231, and a power module 240 is provided. It is placed in the water inlet trough 231 and is connected to the second screw 232 for synchronous rotation. The push rod 233 is connected to the top of the power module 240. The movable sleeve 239 is fixed to the bottom of the water outlet pipe 225. The movable sleeve 239 is threadedly connected to the second screw 232. The two ends of the water inlet pipe 237 are respectively connected to the water pipe 223 and the bottom of the water inlet trough 231. The first water distribution pipe 238 is connected to the right front side of the bottom of the water inlet trough 231, and the second water distribution pipe 241 is connected to the left rear side of the bottom of the water inlet trough 231.
[0045] The power module 240 includes a propeller 2381, a push plate 1 2383 is arranged at the top outside the water inlet trough 231, and a push plate 2 2384 is arranged at the bottom inside the water inlet trough 231. The push plate 2 2384 is provided with a connecting hole 6 connected to the first water distribution pipe 238 or the second water distribution pipe 241. A square hole is provided on the top of the water inlet trough 231 for accommodating the connecting plate 2385 to pass through. The push plate 1 2383 and the push plate 2 2384 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the connecting plate 2385. The propeller 2381, the connecting plate 2385 and the shaft sleeve 2 2382 are coaxially fixed. The shaft sleeve 2382 is clamped on one end of the screw 232 through a guide key (which can be a sliding key). The drain pipe 2386 is arranged on the inner wall of the water tank 21 corresponding to the water inlet trough 231.
[0046] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the water in the water tank 21 passes through the suction pipe 221 to the water pipe 223 under the suction force of the water pump 222, and then reaches the outlet pipe 225 through the elastic hose 224, and is then sprayed out from the nozzle 227 on the outlet pipe 225 to clean the stains covering the solar panel 5. The limit block 226 limits the outlet pipe 225 on the inner wall of the water tank 21, facilitating the horizontal movement of the outlet pipe 225.
[0047] The present invention can be provided with a horizontal driving assembly for driving the horizontal movement of the push plate 1 2383, the push plate 2 2384, and the connecting plate 2385 as a whole, which can be an electric telescopic rod, or can be driven by the cooperation of a gear rack to move horizontally;
[0048] The sleeve block 234 limits the push rod 233 to ensure that the push rod 233 only moves in the horizontal direction. Pushing the push block 1 235 and the push block 236 can control the horizontal movement of the push rod 233. The horizontal movement of the push rod 233 drives the horizontal movement of the power module 240. The water in the water pipe 223 enters the water inlet tank 231 through the water inlet pipe 237 and the first water branch pipe 238 (or the second water branch pipe), which facilitates the power module 240 and the water in the water inlet tank 231 to generate power to drive the screw 2 232 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 232 drives the movable sleeve 239 to move along the direction of the screw 2 232 through the thread, and the water outlet pipe 225 moves at the same time.
[0049] When the push rod 233 moves horizontally, it drives the push plate 1 2383, the push plate 2384, the connecting plate 2385, the propeller 2381 and the shaft sleeve 2382 to move horizontally. When the push rod 233 moves to the right, water enters the water tank 231 from the water inlet pipe 237 and the first water distribution pipe 238. At this time, the pipe opening of the second water distribution pipe 241 is closed by the push plate 2384. The water impacts the propeller 2381 through the connecting hole 6 of the first water distribution pipe 238 and the push plate 2384, causing the propeller 2381 to rotate. 232 rotates synchronously with the propeller 2381, and the movable sleeve 239 drives the outlet pipe 225 to move horizontally to the left along the screw 232 from the rightmost side, until the outlet pipe 225 pushes the push block 1 235 to move, the push rod 233 moves to the left, the push plate 1 2383, the push plate 2384, the connecting plate 2385, the propeller 2381 and the shaft sleeve 2382 move to the left as a whole, and the connecting hole 6 of the push plate 2384 and the propeller 2381 move to the top of the second water distribution pipe 241. At this time, the first water distribution pipe 2 38 is closed by the second push plate 2384, and water enters the water tank 231 from the water inlet pipe 237 and the second water distribution pipe 241, impacting the propeller 2381 in the opposite direction, causing the propeller 2381 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the second screw 232 to rotate in the opposite direction. The water outlet pipe 225 moves in the opposite direction along the second screw 232 until the water outlet pipe 225 pushes the second push block 236 to move, and the push rod 233 moves to the right. The push plate 1 2383, the push plate 2384, the connecting plate 2385, the propeller 2381 and the second sleeve 2382 move to the right as a whole, and the push plate 1 2383, the push plate 2384, the connecting plate 2385, the propeller 2381 and the second sleeve 2382 move to the right as a whole. The connecting hole 6 of plate 2384 and the propeller 2381 move to the top of the water inlet pipe 237, and the water enters the water inlet trough 231 from the first water distribution pipe 238 and the connecting hole 6 of push plate 2384. At this time, the pipe mouth of the second water distribution pipe 241 is closed by push plate 2384, and the drain pipe 2386 discharges the water in the water inlet trough 231, so that the water forms a flowing state, and the outlet pipe 225 makes a circular reciprocating motion along the length direction of screw 232, so that the nozzle 227 sprays the surface of the solar panel 5 back and forth.
[0050] Example 6, based on Example 5, as shown in Figure 4, further includes a filter component 3, which is arranged on the inner wall of the water tank 21. The filter component 3 includes a T-block 31, an insert block 32, a return pipe 33, a filter box 34, a filter element 35 and a water outlet 36. The T-block 31 is fixed on the inner wall of the water tank 21, the insert block 32 is fixed on the outer wall of the filter box 34, the insert block 32 is detachable and inserted outside the T-block 31, the filter element 35 is arranged in the middle of the filter box 34, the water outlet 36 is arranged on the bottom surface of the filter box 34, one end of the return pipe 33 is arranged at the bottom of the lower end of the photovoltaic component mounting frame 4, and the other end of the return pipe 33 is connected to the filter box 34.
[0051] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the plug block 32 can be inserted into the T-block 31T to fix the filter box 34 on the inner wall of the water tank 21, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly 3, and the water discharged from the solar panel 5 and the drain pipe 2386 is drained into the filter box 34. The filtered water is then passed through the filter element 35 and flows from the filter box 34 through the water outlet 36 back to the water tank 21, so that the water used to clean the solar panel 5 can be recycled, greatly saving water.
