[0047] Specifically, in order to realize real-time monitoring of the conveying and cleaning process and statistical reading of subsequent cleaning records, and at the same time facilitate the overall scheduling and control of the photovoltaic module cleaning system, the present application is provided with a touch display unit 5, which can be a device that can realize touch and display functions and integrates a display module, an upper computer (Upper Computer), an MES (Manufacturing Execution System), an EMS (Energy Management System), etc., and can realize the overall scheduling, process management, parameter control, etc. of the photovoltaic module cleaning system.

[0048] In the present application, the touch unit has at least a first mode and a second mode to cope with different usage demand scenarios. In the first mode, the touch display unit 5 displays and records the working condition data and deviation data obtained by the second controller 4. In this mode, the touch display unit 5 is used to monitor the system status and parameters, and does not directly intervene in the control logic. In the second mode, the touch display unit 5 can send a fourth control signal that can cover the second control signal to the first controller 2, and the first controller 2 produces and sends a fifth control signal to the cleaning module 1 according to the fourth control signal.

In this mode, the touch display unit 5 can realize the regulation of the photovoltaic module cleaning system through the operation of the operator. The present application can set a verification program between the first mode and the second mode to avoid erroneous control caused by the operator's accidental touch. In addition, the touch display unit 5 of the present application is not limited to the first mode and the second mode, and a variety of different modes can be set. For example, a sentinel mode can be set for the touch display unit 5, which can monitor and alarm at any time while meeting the monitoring and recording functions; a multi-level authority mode can also be set for the touch display unit 5 to ensure safety and stability in the production process. An adaptive adjustment mode can also be set for the touch display unit 5. For example, when the operating condition data differs greatly from the preset threshold, a segmented adjustment control strategy can be adopted to make the operating condition data gradually meet the preset threshold requirements through several adjustments, so as to improve the smoothness of the adjustment and production safety. The above examples are only a partial enumeration of the modes of the touch display unit 5. The specific configuration is adjusted according to actual production needs and is not limited here.

[0050] Specifically, the cleaning module 1 of the present application includes a conveying unit 11, which can be in the form of a conveyor belt or a conveying roller group, etc., which can realize the transmission of photovoltaic components. The conveying unit 11 is provided with at least two sensors at intervals on its extension path to divide the conveying unit 11 into at least three conveying sections 111. The at least three conveying sections 111 can be continuous, or a structure that can realize the connection and transmission function of the photovoltaic components can be provided between the transmission sections, without specific limitations. The present application sets at least three conveying sections 111 to correspond to the cleaning process units in different cleaning modules, such as roller brushes, robot brushes, ultrasonic cleaning, dry cleaning, spraying, drying and other different cleaning process units. The specific configuration depends on the actual needs of the system. The sensor is set between two adjacent conveying sections 111. On the one hand, it can enable the photovoltaic component cleaning system to obtain the position information of the photovoltaic component. On the other hand, the position setting of the sensor facilitates the first controller 2 to control different cleaning process units.

[0051] In the present application, the detection unit 3 can detect the conveying speed of each conveying section 111, and the preset threshold includes a conveying speed threshold. In the actual cleaning operation of the photovoltaic module, considering that different cleaning process units have different operation times required to achieve their corresponding cleaning effects, different cleaning process units need to have different speeds of the conveying sections 111. The preset thresholds in the present application include conveying speed thresholds, that is, different conveying speed threshold limits that meet the cleaning effect are set corresponding to different cleaning process units. The conveying speeds of different conveying sections 111 are obtained according to the detection unit 3 to obtain the conveying speed deviation value compared with the preset conveying speed threshold.

[0053] Specifically, the cleaning module 1 of the present application further includes a roller brush unit 12 , a spray unit 13 and a drying unit 14 , and the roller brush unit 12 , the spray unit 13 and the drying unit 14 correspond to three conveying sections 111 , respectively. In one embodiment, the first controller 2 sends a first control signal to the DC motor of the roller brush unit 12 in the cleaning module and the inverter of the corresponding conveying section 111, respectively, so that the roller brush unit 12 and the conveying section 111 start working, and the brush of the roller brush unit 12 moves to sweep the upper and lower surfaces of the photovoltaic module during the conveying process. When passing the end of the conveying section 111 corresponding to the roller brush unit 12, the first controller 2 controls the solenoid valve of the spray unit 13 to open, and controls the inverter of the conveying section 111 corresponding to the spray unit 13 to operate. During the conveying process, the nozzle of the spray unit 13 sprays a cleaning medium to clean the upper and lower surfaces of the photovoltaic module. When passing the end of the conveying section 111 corresponding to the spray unit 13, the first controller 2 controls the purge solenoid valve of the drying unit 14 to open, and controls the inverter of the conveying section 111 corresponding to the drying unit 14 to operate. During the conveying process, hot air drying and airflow blowing are performed in the drying unit 14, and the photovoltaic module undergoes the processes of the roller brush unit 12, the spray unit 13 and the drying unit 14 respectively under the conveyance of the conveying unit 11.

[0054] In order to ensure the cleaning effect and efficiency of photovoltaic modules, while reducing production costs and saving energy, the detection unit 3 of the present application detects and collects the working condition data of the motor parameters of the roller brush unit 12, the spray parameters of the spray unit 13 and the purge parameters of the drying unit 14. Correspondingly, the preset thresholds of the second controller 4 include the motor parameter threshold, the spray parameter threshold and the purge parameter threshold, and the deviation data include the motor parameter deviation value compared with the motor parameter threshold, the spray parameter deviation value compared with the spray parameter threshold, and the purge parameter deviation value compared with the purge parameter threshold. The second controller 4 obtains the deviation data compared with the preset threshold according to the working condition data, and generates a second control signal to the first controller 2 according to the deviation data to eliminate the deviation in the cleaning process, forming a precise closed-loop control with a feedback loop, so that the cleaning operation of the photovoltaic module is carried out under the preset working conditions with good cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

[0056] Specifically, in order to ensure the cleaning effect and efficiency of photovoltaic components, while reducing production costs and saving energy, the detection unit 3 of the present application acquires operating condition data of parameter information of nozzle pressure, cleaning liquid flow, hot air temperature and purge pressure, and the deviation data includes a nozzle pressure deviation value compared with the nozzle pressure threshold, a cleaning liquid flow deviation value compared with the cleaning liquid flow threshold, a hot air temperature deviation value compared with the hot air temperature threshold, and a purge pressure deviation value compared with the purge pressure threshold. The second controller 4 sends a second control signal to the first controller 2 according to the above-mentioned acquired deviation data, thereby realizing a feedback loop of system control. The first controller 2 sends a third control signal to the cleaning module 1 according to the second control signal. The cleaning module 1 receives the third control signal and cleans the photovoltaic components with the second parameters to eliminate the deviation occurring during the cleaning process, thereby forming a precise closed-loop control with a feedback loop, so that the cleaning operation of the photovoltaic components is carried out under preset operating conditions with good cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect, thereby realizing energy saving and cost reduction.

[0057] In some embodiments, it also includes: a monitoring unit 6, which is arranged on the conveying unit 11 and connected to the touch display unit 5.

[0058] Specifically, in order to ensure the accuracy of the cleaning operation of the cleaning module 1 and avoid the system idling when there is no photovoltaic component in the conveying unit 11, affecting the system safety, and at the same time enable the operator to realize real-time monitoring of the conveying cleaning process and statistical reading of subsequent cleaning records through the touch display unit 5 provided in the present application, the present application also provides a monitoring unit 6, which can be a laser radar element, a camera element, etc., which is arranged on both sides or near the conveying unit 11 to obtain the real-time position information of the photovoltaic component on the conveying unit 11 and send it to the touch display unit 5 for display and recording.

[0059] In some embodiments, it also includes: a delay unit 7, which is signal-connected to the second controller 4. The delay unit 7 sends a sixth control signal to the first controller 2 before the second controller 4 sends a second control signal to the first controller 2 based on the deviation data obtained by the second control unit. The first controller 2 generates and sends a seventh control signal to the conveying unit 11 based on the sixth control signal to stop the conveying unit 11.

[0060] Specifically, the present application takes into account that after the second controller 4 processes the working condition data provided by the detection unit 3 and obtains the deviation data according to the working condition data, it takes time to readjust the cleaning module 1, and takes into account that if the conveying unit 11 maintains the original conveying speed that deviates from the preset threshold to transmit the photovoltaic components, it will cause some photovoltaic components to fail to complete the cleaning condition of the cleaning module 1 under the third control signal of the first control unit, thereby affecting the cleaning effect of some photovoltaic components. The present application is provided with a delay unit 7 for the photovoltaic component cleaning system, so that before the second controller 4 sends the second control signal to the first controller 2, the sixth control signal is first sent to the first controller 2, so that the first controller 2 generates and sends the seventh control signal according to the sixth control signal to stop the conveying unit 11, so that the photovoltaic components that are still in the cleaning module 1 after the time range of the delay unit 7 ends can complete the cleaning operation under the cleaning condition in which the deviation is eliminated after the second controller 4 controls, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect. The time range of the delay unit 7 is set to a shorter time, which is set according to actual needs, and can ensure the normal production rhythm of the photovoltaic component cleaning operation.

[0062] Specifically, for the sake of environmental protection and water resource reuse, the cleaning module 1 of the present application also includes a waste liquid recovery pipeline 15, which includes a first pipeline 151 and a second pipeline 152 to connect the spray unit 13 with the waste liquid recovery device 16 and form a cycle. The waste liquid generated after the spray unit 13 sprays the photovoltaic module flows into the waste liquid recovery device 16 through the first pipeline 151. After the waste liquid is treated in the waste liquid recovery device 16, the treated cleaning medium that meets the cleaning process standards is transported back to the spray unit 13 through the second pipeline 152 for reuse.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 1 further includes: a filter unit 17 , the filter unit 17 includes a first filter element 171 and a second filter element 172 , the first filter element 171 is disposed on the second pipeline 152 , and the second filter element 172 is disposed on the liquid supply pipeline 131 connected to the input end of the spray unit 13 .

[0064] Specifically, in order to ensure that both the cleaning medium in the liquid supply pipeline 131 that supplies liquid to the spray unit 13 and the cleaning medium processed by the waste liquid recovery device 16 can meet the requirements for cleaning the photovoltaic components, avoid the occurrence of pollution, and ensure the cleaning effect, the cleaning module 1 of the present application also includes a filter unit 17, and the filter unit 17 includes a first filter element 171 and a second filter element 172. The first filter element 171 is arranged on the second pipeline 152, and the second filter element 172 is arranged on the liquid supply pipeline 131 connected to the input end of the spray unit 13.

The model and size of the first filter element 171 and the second filter element 172 can match the second pipeline 152 and the liquid supply pipeline 131 respectively.

[0065] In some embodiments, it also includes: an alarm unit 8, which is connected to the second controller 4 by signal. The alarm unit 8 has a preset alarm threshold. If the deviation data is greater than the preset alarm threshold, the alarm unit 8 will alarm.

[0066] Specifically, the present application is also provided with an alarm unit 8, and the alarm unit 8 is provided with a preset alarm threshold. When the deviation data obtained by the second controller 4 based on the working condition data obtained by the detection unit 3 is greater than the preset alarm threshold, it can be judged that an abnormality has occurred in the cleaning operation of the cleaning module 1 of the photovoltaic component cleaning system. For example, when the deviation of the spray pressure in the deviation data is greater than the setting of the spray pressure in the preset alarm threshold, it can be preliminarily judged that an abnormality has occurred in the spraying operation of the spray unit 13, or when the deviation of the hot air temperature in the deviation data is greater than the setting of the hot air temperature in the preset alarm threshold, it can be preliminarily judged that an abnormality has occurred in the drying operation of the drying unit 14. At this time, the alarm unit 8 alarms and notifies the on-site operation and maintenance personnel to take procedural processing measures to ensure the safe and stable production of photovoltaic components.
