Introdução Introduction
[0001] Refere-se o presente pedido de patente de Invenção de um EQUIPAMENTO ASPERSOR DE FLUIDO PARA LAVAGEM DE MÓDULOS FOTOVOLTAICOS, consiste em um equipamento compacto e movido que compreende um reservatório de água e/ ou outro fluido de limpeza/arrefecimento, no mesmo reservatório ou reservatório separado, um meio de bombeamento de água e/ou fluido de limpeza/arrefecimento para um canhão aplicador, com liberdade de movimentos, acoplado a um duto telescópico condutor de um fluxo de ar gerado por um ventilador centrífugo, que juntamente com a água e/ ou fluido de limpeza/arrefecimento, que extravasam pelos bicos atomizadores do referido canhão aplicador efetivam a limpeza dos módulos fotovoltaicos sem contato mecânico. [0001] Refers to this patent application for a FLUID SPRINKLER EQUIPMENT FOR WASHING PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES, consisting of a compact and powered equipment comprising a water reservoir and/or other cleaning/cooling fluid, in the same reservoir or separate reservoir, a means of pumping water and/or cleaning/cooling fluid to an applicator gun, with freedom of movement, coupled to a telescopic duct conducting an air flow generated by a centrifugal fan, which together with the water and/or cleaning/cooling fluid, which leak through the atomizing nozzles of the said applicator gun, effectively clean the photovoltaic modules without mechanical contact.
Campo de aplicação Application field
[0002] O campo de aplicação da invenção é no segmento de geração de energia, mais especificamente na limpeza de módulos fotovoltaicos de médias e grandes usinas solar instaladas em solo, aproveitando o espaço entre módulos chamados de ruas, que tem como finalidade manter o distanciamento entre as fileiras para não ocasionar sombra entre os módulos propriamente ditos. [0002] The field of application of the invention is in the energy generation segment, more specifically in the cleaning of photovoltaic modules of medium and large solar plants installed in the ground, taking advantage of the space between modules called streets, which aims to maintain the distance between the rows so as not to cause shadow between the modules themselves.
Convencimento convincing
[0003] As usinas de energia solar fotovoltaicas terrestres reúnem pelo menos uma ordem de grandeza de milhares de painéis solares, a fim de terem capacidade produtiva suficiente para gerarem energia elétrica a preços competitivos. Tais painéis, além de ficarem expostos as intempéries ambientais e outros resíduos, ocupam considerável área nas usinas, o que demanda um sistema de limpeza sustentável e eficaz para não permitir a redução na produção energética, haja vista que sujidades nas superfícies dos painéis impedem a passagem da luz solar. [0003] Terrestrial photovoltaic solar power plants gather at least an order of magnitude of thousands of solar panels, in order to have sufficient productive capacity to generate electricity at competitive prices. Such panels, in addition to being exposed to environmental weather and other residues, occupy a considerable area in the plants, which demands a sustainable and effective cleaning system to prevent a reduction in energy production, given that dirt on the surfaces of the panels impedes the passage of sunlight.
[0004] A limpeza periódica dos painéis solares é necessária, uma vez que a eficiência dos mesmos é influenciada, além das intempéries ambientais, pelo acúmulo de poeira,
excrementos de pássaros, fungos, microorganismos, que também causam manchas e corrosão nos painéis, diminuindo também sua vida útil. [0004] Periodic cleaning of solar panels is necessary, since their efficiency is influenced, in addition to environmental weather, by the accumulation of dust, bird droppings, fungi, microorganisms, which also cause stains and corrosion on the panels, also reducing their useful life.
[0005] Neste contexto, novas tecnologias que venham tornar mais eficaz e rápida a limpeza de painéis solares, sem preterir a qualidade, são bem-vindas no segmento em questão. [0005] In this context, new technologies that make cleaning solar panels more efficient and faster, without sacrificing quality, are welcome in the segment in question.
Estado da técnica state of the art
[0006] As tecnologias para limpeza de painéis solares atuais têm em suas características principais o contato com o módulo para a limpeza e quando o fazem sem o contato não oferecem opções para limpeza com grande grau de sujidade, portanto não atendem as necessidades de médias e grandes usinas. [0006] Current technologies for cleaning solar panels have as their main characteristics contact with the module for cleaning and when they do so without contact, they do not offer options for cleaning with a high degree of dirt, therefore they do not meet the needs of medium and big power plants.
[0007] Os atuais sistemas conhecidos para a limpeza de superfícies de painéis solares são substancialmente de cinco tipos: (i) os que utilizam veículos puxando uma carreta tanque, para a mão de obra fazer a lavagem de forma braçal com o uso de vassouras e rodo; (ii) os que utilizam veículos providos de um braço mecânico que compreende uma escova rotativa e bicos pulverizadores; (iii) os que utilizam sistemas fixos de pulverização que funcionam em guias nos módulos; (iv) os sistemas com o direcionamento contínuo do líquido e, por último, (v) os que fazem uso de elementos como esguicho, suporte pan-tilt com dispositivo para impelir movimento ao esguicho, mecanismo de bombeamento, reservatório e painel de controle. [0007] The current known systems for cleaning surfaces of solar panels are substantially of five types: (i) those that use vehicles pulling a tank trailer, for the workforce to wash manually using brooms and squeegee; (ii) those using vehicles equipped with a mechanical arm comprising a rotating brush and spray nozzles; (iii) those using fixed spraying systems that work on guides in the modules; (iv) systems with continuous liquid direction and, finally, (v) those that make use of elements such as nozzle, pan-tilt support with device to impel movement to the nozzle, pumping mechanism, reservoir and control panel.
[0008] O primeiro sistema comtempla a utilização de tanques acoplados por carreta ao veículo para abastecer operários lavando módulos manualmente com vassouras e rodo, com o consumo excessivo de água. O contato mecânico com a poeira acumulada na superfície do módulo poderá ocasionar riscos/microfissuras que danificam a peça parcial ou totalmente ou então cause a perda da garantia. Neste modelo, para a limpeza dos módulos o sistema de geração de energia deve ser desligado por risco de choque elétrico. [0008] The first system contemplates the use of tanks coupled by a trailer to the vehicle to supply workers washing modules manually with brooms and squeegee, with excessive water consumption. Mechanical contact with the dust accumulated on the surface of the module may cause scratches/microcracks that damage the part partially or completely or cause the loss of warranty. In this model, to clean the modules, the power generation system must be turned off due to the risk of electric shock.
[0009] O segundo sistema, contempla a utilização de veículos providos de um braço mecânico que compreende uma escova rotativa e bicos, como antecipado em EP 2295158. Estes sistemas apresentam como desvantagens quando do uso de escovas e água em contato com a poeira acumulada, tal como no primeiro sistema citado,
causar riscos/microfissuras que podem inviabilizar o módulo, além de em alguns casos aplicar força excessiva no módulo causando quebra e inutilizando o módulo e a perda da garantia. Neste modelo, para a limpeza dos módulos o sistema deve ser desligado por risco de choque elétrico. [0009] The second system contemplates the use of vehicles equipped with a mechanical arm comprising a rotating brush and nozzles, as anticipated in EP 2295158. These systems have disadvantages when using brushes and water in contact with accumulated dust, as in the first mentioned system, cause scratches/microcracks that can make the module unfeasible, in addition to, in some cases, applying excessive force to the module causing breakage and rendering the module unusable and voiding the warranty. In this model, to clean the modules, the system must be turned off due to the risk of electric shock.
[0010] O terceiro sistema é representado por equipamentos fixos que funcionam em guias. Estes sistemas, que compreendem barras no qual estão montados esguichos ou escovas rotativas, adotam guias laterais fixas à estrutura de painéis ou para o telhado, ou que são fornecidos com sistemas de transporte tais como correias, correntes, atuadores lineares e cilindros para permitir o movimento paralelo das barras ao longo das estruturas de painéis. Alguns exemplos deste tipo são apresentados em WO20 11/004411 , DE 10 2010 025 845, EP 2048455 e KR20090090722. Um inconveniente encontrado em sistemas deste tipo reside na sua incapacidade de passar de uma fila de painéis para outro devido à estrutura e complexidade dos meios de guia. Isto os torna economicamente inviáveis para a aplicação em parques fotovoltaicos muito extensos. Esse sistema também utiliza o uso de escovas e água em contato com a poeira estacionada nos módulos proporcionando riscos/microfissuras, que podem inviabilizar os módulos com a perda da garantia. Neste modelo, para a limpeza dos módulos o sistema deve ser desligado por risco de choque elétrico. [0010] The third system is represented by fixed equipment that works on guides. These systems, which comprise bars on which rotating nozzles or brushes are mounted, adopt lateral guides fixed to the panel structure or to the roof, or which are provided with transport systems such as belts, chains, linear actuators and cylinders to allow movement. bars parallel along the panel structures. Some examples of this type are presented in WO20 11/004411, DE 10 2010 025 845, EP 2048455 and KR20090090722. A drawback found in systems of this type lies in their inability to move from one row of panels to another due to the structure and complexity of the guide means. This makes them economically unfeasible for application in very extensive photovoltaic parks. This system also uses brushes and water in contact with the dust parked in the modules, causing scratches/microcracks, which can make the modules unfeasible with the loss of warranty. In this model, to clean the modules, the system must be turned off due to the risk of electric shock.
[0011] O quarto sistema, de direcionamento contínuo do líquido de limpeza por meio de esguicho fixo, compreende mecanismo de controle, um tanque ou reservatório e sistemas injetores de pulverização para distribuir uma solução de limpeza para lavagem dos módulos de geração de energia solar de forma automatizada. Como exemplo, citam-se os documentos de patentes US20090545709 e US20100043851 , referente a um sistema automatizado para a limpeza de uma pluralidade de módulos de geração de energia solar. Como limitação deste modelo de sistema tem-se a impossibilidade do aumento do alcance do conteúdo de limpeza, como, por exemplo, eixo de fila dupla de módulos, devido ao esguicho ser fixo. [0011] The fourth system, continuously directing the cleaning liquid through a fixed nozzle, comprises a control mechanism, a tank or reservoir and spray injector systems to distribute a cleaning solution for washing the solar energy generation modules of automated way. As an example, patent documents US20090545709 and US20100043851 are cited, referring to an automated system for cleaning a plurality of solar energy generation modules. As a limitation of this system model, there is the impossibility of increasing the reach of the cleaning content, such as, for example, a double row axis of modules, due to the nozzle being fixed.
[0012] O quinto sistema ajustado junto às superfícies ou grupo de painéis solares a serem limpos de forma que fiquem fixos e, ao entrar em operação, os esguichos se movam horizontalmente e verticalmente permitindo maior alcance do fluido de limpeza
e anulando a necessidade de presença humana nos momentos de limpeza. Como exemplo, cita-se o documento de patente BR 102017012952-7 A2. Vale ressaltar ainda que o suporte responsável pelos movimentos dos esguichos junto com toda a estrutura inventada o faz um sistema compacto. Como limitação deste modelo é a possibilidade de sombreamento do suporte dos esguichos sobre o painel solar em determinados horários do dia, diminuindo sua geração, necessidade de grandes reservatórios distribuídos e em vários pontos para grandes usinas, controle de água gasto por módulo e a não capacidade de limpeza de módulos com grande agressividade de sujidade já que não tem o auxílio do fluxo de ar. Ainda um ponto de desvantagem, por não haver acompanhamento da lavagem, é não refazer pontos não limpos pelo sistema e assim ocasionar diminuição na geração. [0012] The fifth system adjusted next to the surfaces or group of solar panels to be cleaned so that they are fixed and, when in operation, the nozzles move horizontally and vertically, allowing greater reach of the cleaning fluid and eliminating the need for human presence during cleaning. As an example, the patent document BR 102017012952-7 A2 is mentioned. It is also worth mentioning that the support responsible for the movements of the nozzles together with the entire invented structure makes it a compact system. As a limitation of this model is the possibility of shading the support of the nozzles on the solar panel at certain times of the day, reducing its generation, the need for large distributed reservoirs and at several points for large plants, control of water spent per module and the lack of capacity for cleaning modules with very aggressive dirt since it does not have the aid of air flow. Another point of disadvantage, as there is no monitoring of the wash, is that the system does not redo points that were not cleaned and thus causes a decrease in generation.
Objetivos da invenção Objectives of the invention
[0013] É objetivo da presente invenção propor um equipamento aspersor de fluido para limpeza de módulos fotovoltaicos sem contato mecânico com os painéis solares, autônomo no que tange a água de lavagem e/ ou fluido de limpeza/ arrefecimento e que por ser acoplado ao terceiro ponto do trator, possibilita o trânsito entre fileiras da usina solar e se necessário retorno pela mesma fileira. [0013] It is the objective of the present invention to propose a fluid spray equipment for cleaning photovoltaic modules without mechanical contact with the solar panels, autonomous with regard to washing water and/or cleaning/cooling fluid and which, due to being coupled to the third tractor point, allows transit between rows of the solar plant and, if necessary, return through the same row.

Descrição detalhada da invenção Detailed description of the invention
[0024] O EQUIPAMENTO ASPERSOR DE FLUIDO PARA LAVAGEM DE MÓDULOS FOTOVOLTAICOS, objeto desta solicitação de patente de invenção é montado em um chassi (2) sustentado no terceiro ponto de um trator (3) agrícola, que na cavidade (4) superior recepciona pelo menos um reservatório (5) contendo água e/ ou fluido de limpeza/ arrefecimento, que é direcionado por meio de mangueiras (24) para bicos atomizadores (18) localizados no interior de um canhão (17) multidirecional direcionador, que emana uma nuvem de produto na direção dos painéis solares (P) potencializada para uma vazão de 50m/s graças ao fluxo de ar proveniente do duto (15) telescópico.
[0025] Mais particularmente, a invenção reivindicada trata de um equipamento (1 ) compacto, montado em um chassi (2) apropriado para acoplamento no terceiro ponto de um trator (3) agrícola, ou elemento de tração congênere. Na porção superior, o chassi (2) apresenta uma cavidade (4) para receber pelo menos um reservatório (5) de água e/ ou fluido de limpeza/ arrefecimento dos painéis solares (P), podendo ser no mesmo reservatório (5) ou em cavidades e reservatórios distintos (não demonstrados), ao passo que na porção inferior do chassi (2) se destaca uma bomba hidráulica (6), ligada por meio de eixo (7) à tomada de força (8) do trator (3) e a um multiplicador (9) de torque conectado por meios já conhecidos, preferencialmente polias (10) e correias (11 ), ao eixo de um ventilador (12) interno a uma carcaça (13), frontal e contígua ao reservatório (5), que quando acionado suas palhetas (14) geram um fluxo de ar na direção de um duto (15) telescópico, movimentado por um pistão hidráulico (16), que finda em um canhão (17) multidirecional aplicador da água e/ ou fluidos de limpeza/ arrefecimento à baixa pressão, contido (s) no (s) reservatório (s) (5), através dos bicos atomizadores (18) estrategicamente instalados em sua parede interna, que em contato com o fluxo de ar proveniente do duto (15) telescópico potencializa a nuvem com fluidos de limpeza/ arrefecimento para uma vazão de até 50m/s. O canhão (17) é multidirecional, pois além do deslocamento vertical (A) propiciado pela ação do pistão hidráulico (16) que efetiva o deslizamento entre pelo menos dois dutos concêntricos, também possui uma base (19) de giro 360s que perfaz o deslocamento horizontal (B), em que um motor hidráulico (20) faz movimentar um mecanismo de engrenamento e corrente (não demonstrado) e, por fim, o movimento vertical oblíquo (C) de até 60s viabilizado pela ação de um pistão hidráulico (21 ) atuado por um motor hidráulico (22). [0026] A água e/ou fluido de limpeza/ arrefecimento são recalcados em baixa pressão até os bicos atomizadores (18) por meio de bomba (23), na porção inferior do chassi, acionada por polias (10) e correias (11 ) em que mangueiras (24) conduzem os fluidos até os bicos atomizadores (18), ao passo que a energia hidráulica provém do sistema hidráulico do trator (3) e é distribuída por mangueiras (25) de alta pressão para os sistemas de movimentação do canhão (17) multidirecional aplicador.
[0024] THE FLUID SPRINKLER EQUIPMENT FOR WASHING PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES, object of this invention patent application, is mounted on a chassis (2) supported on the third point of an agricultural tractor (3), which in the upper cavity (4) receives the at least one reservoir (5) containing water and/or cleaning/cooling fluid, which is directed through hoses (24) to atomizing nozzles (18) located inside a multidirectional cannon (17) directing, which emanates a cloud of product towards the solar panels (P) boosted to a flow rate of 50m/s thanks to the air flow coming from the telescopic duct (15). [0025] More particularly, the claimed invention deals with a compact equipment (1), mounted on a chassis (2) suitable for coupling to the third point of an agricultural tractor (3), or similar traction element. In the upper portion, the chassis (2) has a cavity (4) to receive at least one reservoir (5) of water and/or fluid for cleaning/cooling the solar panels (P), which may be in the same reservoir (5) or in different cavities and reservoirs (not shown), while in the lower portion of the chassis (2) there is a hydraulic pump (6), connected by means of a shaft (7) to the power take-off (8) of the tractor (3) and a torque multiplier (9) connected by known means, preferably pulleys (10) and belts (11), to the shaft of a fan (12) internal to a housing (13), front and adjacent to the reservoir (5) , which when activated its blades (14) generate an air flow in the direction of a telescopic duct (15), moved by a hydraulic piston (16), which ends in a cannon (17) multidirectional applicator of water and/or fluids of low pressure cleaning/cooling, contained in the reservoir(s) (5), through the atomizing nozzles (18) strategically insta sides on its inner wall, which in contact with the air flow from the telescopic duct (15) enhances the cloud with cleaning/cooling fluids for a flow rate of up to 50m/s. The cannon (17) is multidirectional, because in addition to the vertical displacement (A) provided by the action of the hydraulic piston (16) that effectuate the sliding between at least two concentric ducts, it also has a base (19) of rotation 360 s that makes the horizontal displacement (B), in which a hydraulic motor (20) moves a gearing mechanism and chain (not shown) and, finally, the oblique vertical movement (C) of up to 60 s made possible by the action of a hydraulic piston ( 21) actuated by a hydraulic motor (22). [0026] Water and/or cleaning/cooling fluid are pumped under low pressure to the atomizing nozzles (18) by means of a pump (23), in the lower portion of the chassis, driven by pulleys (10) and belts (11) in which hoses (24) conduct the fluids to the atomizing nozzles (18), while the hydraulic energy comes from the tractor's hydraulic system (3) and is distributed by high pressure hoses (25) to the cannon movement systems (17) multidirectional applicator.
