[0074] The traveling frame 13 is provided with a sliding hole at the top, and the two ends of the sliding hole are clamped on the transverse protrusions of the slide rail 14.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, a control method of the photovoltaic cleaning device is also disclosed, referring to Figure 5 , the control method comprises:

[0076] In step S100, the shooting image of the collection camera is acquired, and the region of the photovoltaic panel in the shooting image is demarcated as a first analysis region.

[0077] In step S200, the first analysis region is scanned and analyzed according to the preset non-dirt image features, the dirt features and the dirt position on the first analysis region are determined.

[0078] In step S300, based on the determined dirt position, the moving mechanism drives the blowing mechanism to the specified position, and based on the dirt features, the blowing mechanism performs the blowing action on the dirt.

[0079] In step S400, after each blowing action of the blowing mechanism on the dirt, the first analysis region is scanned and analyzed again, the first image features of the dirt after the blowing action are determined, and the blowing strategy of the blowing mechanism is corrected according to the first image features.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the method for delineating the region to which the photovoltaic panel belongs in the photographed image comprises: establishing a probe point area for the position of the photovoltaic panel in the photographed image and the mapped region, the probe point area comprising a plurality of first positioning probe points, and each first positioning probe point being provided with an image coordinate and a probe point attribute.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the method for presetting the dirt-free image features comprises:

[0082] Firstly, a plurality of photographed images under different illumination features are intercepted, and each photographed image is subjected to grayscale processing, and the probe point area of the photovoltaic panel in the dirt-free state is scanned and analyzed to determine the grayscale value of each first positioning probe point in the probe point area, which is denoted as a standard grayscale value.

[0083] Secondly, all the first positioning probe points in the photographed image and the standard grayscale values of the first positioning probe points are summarized according to the distinguishing standard of the illumination features to generate a plurality of first probe point grayscale sets.

[0084] It should be understood that grayscale processing of an image is a process of converting a color image into a grayscale image, which can simplify image processing and reduce the amount of calculation. A grayscale image has only one channel, and each pixel has only one grayscale value, which represents the brightness information in the image.

[0085] In common image formats, a color image is usually composed of three channels of RGB (red, green, and blue), and the value range of each channel is 0 to 255. The grayscale value of a grayscale image is also between 0 and 255, but only one channel is needed to represent it.

[0086] Here is a common method for grayscale processing of an image:

[0087] Reading the image: First, the original color image needs to be read from the image file. Image processing libraries such as OpenCV, PIL, etc. can be used to load image data.

[0088] Grayscale conversion: For each pixel, take the average of the pixel values of the three channels of RGB to get a single grayscale value. The following formula can be used for grayscale conversion:

[0089] Grayscale value = (R + G + B) / 3;

[0090] Where R, G, and B represent the pixel values of the red, green, and blue channels, respectively.

[0091] Updating the image: For each pixel in the image, replace the original RGB pixel value with the calculated grayscale value.

[0092] Saving the grayscale image: Save the grayscale image data after grayscale processing as a grayscale image file.

[0093] In actual image processing applications, other methods of graying can also be used, for example, using a weighted average method to perform weighted average on the RGB channels.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the method of presetting the dirt-free image feature further comprises:

[0095] First, sum all the standard gray values in the first probe point gray set to obtain the total standard gray value.

[0096] Second, establish a total standard gray curve, with the horizontal coordinate being the illumination intensity and the vertical coordinate being the total standard gray value.

[0097] When determining the dirt-free image feature to be selected:

[0098] First, according to the current illumination intensity, determine the corresponding total standard gray value on the total standard gray curve, and record it as the comparison total standard gray value.

[0099] Second, if the difference between the total standard gray value of the first probe point gray set and the comparison total standard gray value is less than the preset value, the first probe point gray set is identified as the dirt-free image feature.

[0100] Third, if there is no first probe point gray set whose total standard gray value and the comparison total standard gray value differ by less than the preset value, the first probe point gray set whose total standard gray value is closest to the comparison total standard gray value is identified as the to-be-corrected probe point gray set. According to the proportional relationship between the total standard gray value of the to-be-corrected probe point gray set and the comparison total standard gray value, each standard gray value in the to-be-corrected probe point gray set is corrected, and the corrected to-be-corrected probe point gray set is identified as the dirt-free image feature.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the method of determining the dirt feature and the dirt location on the first analysis area comprises:

[0102] First, according to the current illumination feature, determine the first probe point gray set for comparison analysis.

[0103] Second, perform gray processing on the current captured image to obtain a current gray image, and set a second positioning probe point on the current gray image based on the first positioning probe point location recorded in the first probe point gray set.

[0104] Third, extract the gray values of all second positioning probe points in the current gray image to generate a second probe point gray set.

[0105] The fourth step is to compare and analyze the grayscale set of the first probe point and the grayscale set of the second probe point, screen out several second positioning probe points to be analyzed whose grayscale difference is greater than a preset value, and judge whether the several second positioning probe points to be analyzed meet the aggregation judgment condition. If so, the area corresponding to the several second positioning probe points to be analyzed that meet the aggregation judgment condition is identified as the dirt location, and the grayscale difference between the several second positioning probe points to be analyzed that meet the aggregation judgment condition and the corresponding first positioning probe points is identified as the dirt feature.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the method for modifying the flushing strategy of the dirt blowing mechanism includes:

[0107] The first step is to establish a quantitative definition rule for the dirt level of the dirt characteristics, and based on the quantitative definition rule for the dirt level, define the dirt level of the dirt characteristics before flushing to obtain a first dirt level.

[0108] In the second step, based on the dirt level quantitative definition rule, the dirt level is defined for the dirt characteristics after flushing to obtain a second dirt level.

[0109] In the third step, a difference in dirtiness between the first dirtiness level and the second dirtiness level is calculated, and the blowing strategy of the dirt blowing mechanism is modified based on a ratio of the difference in dirtiness level to the first dirtiness level.

[0110] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the present invention can be implemented through hardware or by using software plus the necessary general hardware platform. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention can be embodied in the form of a software product, which can be stored in a non-volatile storage medium (such as a CD-ROM, a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk, etc.) and includes a number of instructions for enabling a computer device (such as a personal computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the methods described in various implementation scenarios of the present invention.

[0111] The present application discloses a photovoltaic cleaning device and a control method thereof, which relate to the field of photovoltaic cleaning technology. The photovoltaic cleaning device adjusts the angle of the mounting mechanism through a rotating mechanism, and is equipped with a blowing mechanism and a collection camera. The collection camera is used to determine the location of the dirt and the characteristics of the dirt. The motion mechanism is driven to drive the blowing mechanism to a specified position according to the location of the dirt, and the blowing mechanism is driven to flush the dirt according to the determined dirt characteristics. In the control method, a first analysis area is scanned and analyzed by a preset dirt-free image feature to determine the dirt characteristics and the location of the dirt on the first analysis area. After each completion of the flushing and blowing action on the dirt, the first analysis area is scanned and analyzed again to determine the first image characteristics of the dirt after flushing. According to the first image characteristics, the dirt flushing strategy is corrected to achieve automatic flushing of the dirt and avoid ineffective flushing of photovoltaic panels that do not need to be flushed.

[0112] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solutions of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
