Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, specifically a photovoltaic panel cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the explosive growth in the number of photovoltaic power plants, photovoltaic panel cleaning has become a crucial step. Dust, leaves, sand, and air pollutants accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic panels, leading to a decrease in their power generation efficiency. Therefore, photovoltaic panel cleaning is essential for ensuring the normal operation of photovoltaic power plants.

[0003] However, traditional manual cleaning methods can no longer meet the needs. On the one hand, manual cleaning is inefficient and cannot cope with the rapid increase in the number of photovoltaic power plants; on the other hand, the cleaning quality of manual cleaning is poor and cannot meet the needs of users.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0020] A photovoltaic panel 9 cleaning device includes a body 1, a control module 2, a drive module, a cleaning module, and a limiting module. The body 1 is used to integrate and install other functional modules. The control module 2 is installed on the top of the body 1 and is used to control the operation of the device. The drive module and the cleaning module are both installed at the bottom of the body 1. The drive module is used to drive the device to move on rows of photovoltaic panels 9, and the cleaning module is used to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panels 9. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the drive module and the cleaning module. The limiting module is installed at the body 1 and is used to limit the device to the photovoltaic panels 9 to prevent the device from detaching from the photovoltaic panels 9.

[0021] The cleaning module includes a cleaning motor 4 and several cleaning rollers 5. The cleaning rollers 5 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the machine body 1, and the cleaning motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the machine body 1. The cleaning motor 4 and the cleaning rollers 5 are connected by a transmission mechanism, so that the cleaning motor 4 can drive the cleaning rollers 5 to rotate. The surface of the cleaning rollers 5 is provided with cleaning bristles, which can clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 9.

[0022] The drive module includes a drive motor 3, several drive shafts 6, and several drive wheels 7. The drive shafts 6 are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the machine body 1 and are arranged in the same direction as the cleaning rollers 5, so that the movement of the cleaning module and the drive module will not interfere with each other or hinder the overall movement of the device. Several drive wheels 7 are evenly arranged on the drive shafts 6. The drive motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the machine body 1. The drive motor 3 and the drive shaft 6 are connected through a transmission mechanism. The drive motor 3 drives the drive shaft 6 to rotate, and the drive shaft 6 can drive each drive wheel 7 to roll on the photovoltaic panel 9, thereby driving the entire device to move.

[0023] The limiting module includes several limiting guide wheels 8, which are rotatably mounted on the body 1. Each limiting guide wheel 8 is adapted to the photovoltaic panel 9, so that each limiting guide wheel 8 is clamped at both ends of the photovoltaic panel 9, thus preventing the device from deviating on the photovoltaic panel 9 due to other factors when the drive module moves.

[0024] The control module 2 is based on existing mature technology. The control module 2 includes a controller, a battery, and a drop sensor. The controller integrates a remote wireless control module, which allows users to remotely control the device. The controller and battery are fixedly installed on the top of the body 1. The battery is used to power the device. Drop sensors are installed at both ends of the body 1. The drop sensors can prevent the device from moving to the edge of the photovoltaic panel 9. When the drop sensor detects no obstruction, it triggers a command to stop, move forward, or move backward. The controller is electrically connected to the battery, drop sensors, drive motor 3, and cleaning motor 4.

[0025] The cleaning module also includes several nozzles, which are evenly arranged on both sides of the machine body 1. The nozzles are connected to a water source and are used to spray clean water. Together with the cleaning roller 5, they can clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 9.

[0026] The transmission mechanism can be a pulley belt drive mechanism, chain sprocket drive mechanism, gear drive mechanism, or other transmission devices with the same function, so that the drive shaft 6 and the cleaning roller 5 can rotate smoothly.

[0027] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0028] Using this photovoltaic panel 9 cleaning device, by installing the device on rows of photovoltaic panels 9, the limiting guide wheels 8 on the machine body 1 are respectively clamped at the two ends of the photovoltaic panels 9. Then, the user can remotely operate the device through a remote control or other means. The drive motor 3 and the cleaning motor 4 start synchronously, and the nozzle sprays cleaning water. The drive motor 3 drives the drive shaft 6 to rotate, and the drive shaft 6 drives each drive wheel 7 to rotate, so that the device can move on the rows of photovoltaic panels 9. At the same time, the cleaning roller 5 washes the surface of the photovoltaic panels 9, thus cleaning the photovoltaic panels 9 efficiently and with high quality.

[0029] This photovoltaic panel 9 cleaning device is installed on the photovoltaic panel 9. The drive module enables the device to move on rows of photovoltaic panels 9. At the same time, the cleaning module sprays clean water and washes the surface of the photovoltaic panel 9, thereby cleaning the photovoltaic panel 9. This device can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency and quality of the photovoltaic panel 9 and reduce manual labor.
