China Three Gorges New Energy has applied for a patent for a photovoltaic panel cleaning device and photovoltaic bracket, aimed at enhancing the cleaning efficiency of solar panels. According to information from the National Intellectual Property Administration, the patent, titled “Photovoltaic Panel Cleaning Device and Photovoltaic Bracket,” has the publication number CN 119675567 A and was officially filed on March 2024.
The patent summary indicates that this application introduces a cleaning device for photovoltaic panels, which pertains to the technology of cleaning solar panels. The cleaning device consists of a mobile mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a scissor-type telescopic frame, and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is positioned at the end of the photovoltaic bracket and is detachably connected to the two ends of the scissor-type telescopic frame. These ends are connected to both the driving mechanism and the mobile mechanism. The driving mechanism allows the scissor-type telescopic frame to extend or compress, enabling the mobile mechanism to move back and forth along the length of the photovoltaic bracket.
The cleaning mechanism is installed on the side of the mobile mechanism that faces the photovoltaic bracket, and it is designed to make contact with the photovoltaic panels mounted on the bracket. Under the action of the driving mechanism, this cleaning device can effectively clean the photovoltaic panels, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and saving both labor and time.
