Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of included angle monitoring, and particularly to an automatic traveling included angle monitoring system for a photovoltaic panel cleaning vehicle. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of a photovoltaic panel cleaning vehicle, an industrial intelligent camera installed on the crawler chassis of the photovoltaic panel mobile cleaning vehicle is used to detect the included angle and distance between a black stainless steel ruler and the photovoltaic panel in real time, so as to automatically control the fine adjustment of the traveling direction of the crawler chassis of the mobile cleaning vehicle and the distance from the photovoltaic panel, realizing the automatic control of the traveling of the photovoltaic panel cleaning vehicle. Since the working scenario of this cleaning vehicle is single and only for cleaning the photovoltaic panel, the black stainless steel ruler is usually fixed on the crawler chassis of the cleaning vehicle. However, in actual applications, as the development of the photovoltaic panel field becomes deeper, its functions are also increasing, and its shape has evolved from the traditional flat structure to irregular shapes such as curved photovoltaic panels and circular photovoltaic panels. The traditional fixed stainless steel ruler cannot meet the requirements of photovoltaic panels with various shapes, resulting in deviations in the movement of the photovoltaic panel cleaning vehicle due to frequent changes in the included angle and distance between the stainless steel ruler detected by the industrial intelligent camera and the photovoltaic panel. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Beneficial effects

[0011] The present invention provides an automatic traveling angle monitoring system for a photovoltaic panel cleaning vehicle, having the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Driven by an external motor and a driving gear, the driven gear drives the steel ruler sleeve to rotate through a fixed shaft, so that it can be controlled to slide on the arc-shaped support plate, facilitating the control of the rotation angles of the steel ruler and the ruler head.
