[0003] Photovoltaic power generation converts solar energy into electricity through photovoltaic panels. When installed outdoors, these panels accumulate dust, bird droppings, and other pollutants on their surfaces, reducing their efficiency in absorbing solar energy and affecting power generation efficiency. Maintenance personnel are required to clean the panels regularly, which also occupies a large area and consumes a lot of manpower.

During the cleaning process of the cleaning device, the scraping device cleans the cleaning wastewater that has not been cleaned up after the cleaning mop. During the movement of the cleaning robot, the silicone scraper shovels the sewage and dirt into the scraping box, and the small vacuum pump sucks the sewage and debris in the scraping box into the sewage tank through the vacuum suction head.

[0026] Compared with the existing technology, this photovoltaic panel fully automatic deep cleaning robot and its cleaning method can simultaneously replenish electricity and cleaning water. The cleaning robot completes charging and water replenishment in the supply bin of the robot supply base station. The replenishment water tank is plugged into the water replenishment inlet of the water tank on the top of the cleaning robot through the water filling plug, thereby replenishing the water for cleaning into the water tank. The cleaning robot is connected to the charging plug through the charging interface for charging. The cleaning robot receives the remote control command signal from the external remote control end through the remote control signal transceiver, and performs full coverage cleaning work according to the fixed path issued by the command signal, or issues a movement command in real time through the monitoring camera to move and perform detailed cleaning work.

[0027] Compared with the existing technology, this photovoltaic panel fully automatic deep cleaning robot and its cleaning method can quickly rinse the cleaning mop.
