Description

Energy utilization device for controlling temperature of photovoltaic cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of thermal management of photovoltaic cells, in particular to an energy utilization device for controlling the temperature of a photovoltaic cell.
Background
In recent years, photovoltaic power generation has been rapidly developed as a green energy acquisition mode.
When dust is continuously accumulated on the surface of the photovoltaic cell, the light transmittance is reduced, and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is gradually reduced; when impurities exist on the surface of the photovoltaic cell, the part of the photovoltaic cell shielded by the impurities cannot be used as a power supply for power generation, but is used as a resistor for continuously generating heat, namely, a hot spot effect is generated, and the photovoltaic cell is damaged; in order to alleviate above-mentioned two problems, need the manual work to clean photovoltaic cell board regularly, consume the manpower.
When the photovoltaic cell works, the photovoltaic cell is irradiated by sunlight for a long time, heat is accumulated continuously to cause the temperature of the photovoltaic cell to rise, and documents show that the generating efficiency of the photovoltaic cell is reduced by 0.4-0.5 percent when the temperature of the cell rises by 1 ℃. Through carrying out the thermal management to photovoltaic cell, can not only improve photovoltaic power generation efficiency, can also prolong photovoltaic cell life. The radiating fins are additionally arranged at the rear part of the photovoltaic cell and have a certain radiating effect, but at the noon with sufficient sunlight, the radiating fins cannot radiate heat in time, and the temperature of the photovoltaic cell still rises. In order to obtain a good heat dissipation effect, most of the existing heat dissipation measures need to adopt a fan or a water pump, so that the operation and maintenance cost is increased while the electric energy is consumed.
The phase-change material has large latent heat of phase change, and the temperature can be maintained near the melting point when absorbing heat, so that the phase-change material is an ideal means for thermal management of the photovoltaic cell, and the phase-change material is continuously developed as a hotspot of research in the field of photovoltaic cells.
The organic phase change material represented by paraffin has stable performance and no corrosion, and is widely applied to the field of thermal management of photovoltaic cells; at present, two factors are mainly used for limiting the application of paraffin on a photovoltaic cell, one factor is that the heat conductivity coefficient of the material is very low, so that the heat exchange between the photovoltaic cell and a phase-change material is not facilitated, and the heat loss of the phase-change material in the air is also not facilitated; researchers put forward various paraffin packaging structures with inner fins to strengthen the heat exchange capacity between the photovoltaic cell and the phase-change material, but neglect the natural heat dissipation problem of paraffin, the phase-change material is difficult to release absorbed heat to the environment after absorbing heat and being saturated in the daytime, the phase-change material not only loses the function of controlling temperature but also can block the heat dissipation of the photovoltaic cell on the next day, and the application of the phase-change material in an intermittent heat source is limited; secondly, the phase change material is difficult to package due to the volume change of the phase change material before and after phase change, and the problem is more prominent when the dosage of the phase change material is larger.
At present, most of technical means for solving the volume expansion of the phase change material leave an expansion space, the volume change of the phase change material is compensated by using the compressibility of air, and when the heat source is applied to an intermittent heat source, frequent stress changes cause the packaging structure to be easy to leak.
In summary, the phase change material used for the photovoltaic cell at present is easy to leak, the temperature control effect is unclear, the photovoltaic cell has low power generation efficiency, and the popularization and the use are not facilitated.

When the cleaning brush 210 cleans the back, the piston 103 drives the cleaning brush 210 to move up on the back in the daytime, and the piston 103 contracts in the night, so that the cleaning brush 210 and the chain 204 are kept still and cannot fall down under the limiting action of the ratchet structure formed by the second pawl 2061 on the top sprocket 206 and the inner frame 303.
By changing the size of the elongate chamber, the length of extension of the piston 103 is changed; the size of the outer gear teeth of the rack 204 and the gear shaft 213 and the size of the outer chain wheel 2025 are changed, and the transmission ratio is changed, so that the adjustability of the cleaning period of the cleaning brush 210 is realized during design on the basis of not violating the mechanical manufacturing manufacturability.
In addition, it is to be noted that: when the cleaning brush 210 moves from the back of the packaging shell 101 to the top of the photovoltaic cell 2, the included angle between the photovoltaic cell 2 and the ground can be changed by adjusting the bracket 305, and fig. 9 shows an inclined arrangement, which has two implementation modes, namely a first implementation mode: when the angle between the photovoltaic cell 2 and the ground is large (less than or equal to 90 degrees), and is close to or equal to 90 degrees, the cleaning brush 210 is dead-weight or the balance weight is added at the brush holder, so that the cleaning brush 210 overcomes the cleaning frictional resistance and the transmission device idling frictional resistance under the action of gravity, can fall down in a very short time, finishes the cleaning of the front side of the photovoltaic cell 2 by the cleaning brush 210, cannot shield the photovoltaic cell, and shortens the cleaning period. The second implementation mode comprises the following steps: when the included angle (less than or equal to 90 degrees) between the photovoltaic cell 2 and the ground is small, the gravity action of the cleaning brush 210 cannot overcome the friction resistance to immediately complete the front cleaning, the photovoltaic cell can only wait for the heat generated by the photovoltaic cell in the daytime, the power generated by the melting and volume expansion of the phase-change material paraffin can push the cleaning brush 210 to move in a short distance, after the phase-change material is melted and solidified for many times, the cleaning brush 210 completes the front cleaning of the photovoltaic cell 2, the cleaning period is long, and the cleaning effect is good.
In a photovoltaic cell, a plurality of single solar cells are arranged in an array, in a second implementation mode, a transverse row of single solar cells can be shielded by the cleaning brush 210 in the daytime, at the moment, a bypass diode is suitably arranged in each single cell in the photovoltaic cell 2 to solve the hot spot effect generated by shielding the photovoltaic cell 2 by the cleaning brush 210, and the cleaning brush 210 moves along with the chain 204 in one direction to complete the function of cleaning the front side of the photovoltaic cell 2 and the two sides of the outer fin 1012 on the back side of the packaging shell 101.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
