[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the present invention discloses a cleaning machine, including a scrubbing assembly 1, a controller 2, a support tube 3, a control switch 4, a water supply assembly 5 and a battery 6. The scrubbing assembly 1 and the control switch 4 are respectively arranged at both ends of the support tube 3. The control switch 4 and the scrubbing assembly 1 are respectively electrically connected to the controller 2. The power on and off between the controller 2 and the scrubbing assembly 1 is controlled by the control switch 4, that is, the control switch 4 can control the start and stop of the scrubbing assembly 1. The water supply assembly 5 and the battery 6 are respectively connected to the scrubbing assembly 1 and the controller 2 through long pipelines, so that the water supply assembly 5 and the battery 6 can be placed on a fixed object to supply water to the scrubbing assembly 1 or power to the controller 2.

[0029] The present invention arranges the control switch 4 and the brush component 1 at the two ends of the support tube 3 respectively. When the user holds the support tube 3 and extends the brush component 1 to a position far away from the user to clean the photovoltaic panel, the control switch 4 arranged at the other end of the support tube 3 is located near the user's body, which is convenient for the user to better operate the control switch 4 to control the start and stop of the brush component 1; the battery 6 and the water supply component 5 are connected to the controller 2 or the brush component 1 through a long pipeline, so that the battery 6 and the water supply component 5 can be placed in one position, and the user holds the support tube 3 to carry the brush component 2 and the control switch 4 to clean the photovoltaic panel, which reduces the burden of the user carrying the water supply component 5 and the battery 6.

[0030] The brushing assembly 1 includes a brush head 11 and a driving motor 12, the driving motor 12 is connected to the brush head 11 to drive the brush head 11 to rotate, and the controller 2 is electrically connected to the driving motor 12, so that under the control of the control switch 4, the controller 2 supplies power to the driving motor 12 and issues a start or stop instruction to control the rotation of the brush head 11. The brush head 11 of this embodiment is rotated to brush the photovoltaic panel, and in other embodiments, the brush head 11 can also be reciprocating linear motion to brush the photovoltaic panel.

[0031] The controller 2 and the brush assembly 1 are arranged at the same end of the support tube 3, and the control switch 4 is electrically connected to the controller 1 through an electrical connection line passing through the support tube 3. The controller 2 and the control switch 4 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the support tube 3, so that the controller 2 can drive the drive motor 12 of the brush assembly 1 with a large current, and the control switch 4 is arranged at the other end of the support tube 3 through the electrical connection line 7, so that the structure of the control switch 4 is small and only needs to play the role of a switch. The support tube 3 is a telescopic tube, which includes a plurality of hollow tubes with different diameters, and the length of the support tube 3 is changed according to the axial relative position between the hollow tubes to achieve its extension. The electrical connection line 7 is a spiral spring wire, and the controller 2 is also provided with a relay. The controller 2 is provided with a relay so that the control switch 4 can control whether the controller 2 supplies power to the drive motor 12 of the brush assembly 1 with a small current, thereby reducing the wire diameter of the spring wire and facilitating the extension and retraction of the spring wire in the support tube 3.

[0032] In other embodiments, the control switch 4 may also be integrated into the controller 2 , that is, the controller 2 and the control switch 4 are both arranged at the end of the support tube 3 away from the brush assembly 1 .

[0033] The water supply assembly 5 includes a water tank 50 and a water pump disposed in the water tank 50. The storage battery 6 is electrically connected to the water pump for supplying power to the water pump. The water supply assembly 5 supplies water to the scrubbing assembly 1 with the help of the water pump. The water pump is electrically connected to the controller 2, so that the water pump is controlled to supply water to the scrubbing assembly 1 through the control switch 4. More specifically, the long pipeline is a water-electricity parallel line 8, which passes through the support tube 3 from one end of the support tube 3 where the control switch 4 is provided and is connected to the control switch 4 and the scrubbing assembly 1. A water pipe is provided between the water tank 50 and the scrubbing assembly 1, a first wire is provided between the water pump and the controller 2, and a second wire is provided between the storage battery 6 and the scrubbing assembly 1. The water-electricity parallel line 8 includes a hose, and the water pipe, the first wire and the second wire are respectively provided in the hose to form the water-electricity parallel line. Therefore, the control switch 4 not only controls the rotation of the bristle part 11 of the scrubbing assembly 1, but also controls the water discharge at the scrubbing assembly 1 by controlling the start and stop of the water pump, so as to realize scrubbing while discharging water.

[0034] Since the water supply assembly 5 and the battery 6 are connected to the scrubbing assembly 1 and the controller 2 through a long water-electricity parallel line 8, during use, according to the position of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, the maximum length of the support tube 3 is about 7-9 meters, and the shortened length is about 3 meters, so the length of the water-electricity parallel line 8 is greater than the maximum length of the support tube 3, that is, greater than 7-9 meters. In order for the user to move with the support tube 3 and the scrubbing assembly 1 to clean the photovoltaic panel, the water supply assembly 5 and the battery 6 are placed on the ground or other fixed objects, and the length of the water-electricity parallel line 8 should be greater than 10 meters, so the water supply assembly 5 and the battery 6 will be far away from the user. The present invention sets the control of water and electricity on the control switch 4, and the control switch 4 is always kept at the end of the support tube 3 close to the user, more specifically at the user's hand, which greatly improves the convenience of the user when operating the cleaning machine, and overcomes the defects of the prior art that the water pump switch controls the water discharge of the cleaning machine brush head and the battery controls the rotation of the cleaning machine brush head, which brings about inconvenience in operation.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the controller 2 and the control switch 4 are not wired through a spiral spring wire, but wirelessly connected through a wireless signal transmission device, so that there are fewer pipelines inside the support tube 3, which is beneficial to the structural design of the support tube 3. Specifically, the control switch 4 is provided with a wireless signal transmitter, and the controller 2 is provided with a wireless signal receiver. The wireless signal transmitter and the wireless signal receiver form a wireless signal transmission device, so that the control switch 4 and the controller 2 can communicate through wireless signals. At this time, the start and stop control of the cleaning machine can be realized through wireless signals, and the start and stop control includes the scrubbing movement and water discharge of the scrubbing component.

[0037] A wireless electrical connection is formed between the control switch 4 and the controller 2 through a wireless signal transmission device, so there is no need to set an electrical connection line in the support tube 3, which further simplifies the layout inside the support tube 3 and makes the position of the control switch 4 more flexible, making it easier for the user to place the control switch 4 in a suitable position according to needs.

[0038] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed portions are prior art, and that various changes made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
