DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, but the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present application without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Thus, it is intended that the present application cover the modifications and variations of this application provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0033] Embodiment one:

[0034] See the attached Figs. 1-7 The application discloses a photovoltaic panel cleaning device, which comprises a main body 1, the main body 1 comprises a shell 101, limit frames 102 are arranged on the two sides of the shell 101, driving wheels 103 for driving the shell 101 to move are arranged in the limit frames 102; a pretreatment mechanism 3, the pretreatment mechanism 3 comprises a plurality of dust suction pipes 303 arranged at the front end of the shell 101, a detection assembly arranged at the front end of the dust suction pipe 303 and an opening adjusting assembly arranged on the dust suction pipe 303, the opening adjusting assembly is used for dynamically adjusting the suction force of the dust suction pipe 303 according to the detection result of the detection assembly; a cleaning mechanism 2, the cleaning mechanism 2 comprises a cleaning assembly 204 arranged in the shell 101 and a position adjusting assembly 205 arranged between the cleaning assembly 204 and the shell 101.

[0035] Specifically, the opening adjusting assembly comprises a valve seat 304 arranged on the dust suction pipe 303, a valve block 305 arranged in the valve seat 304, gear wheels one 302 arranged on the two sides of the dust suction pipe 303, telescopic rods one 301 arranged between the gear wheels one 302 and the valve block 305, gear wheels two 306 arranged on the two sides of the dust suction pipe 303, the gear wheels one 302 and the gear wheels two 306 are engaged; the detection assembly comprises a roller one 308, the two sides of the roller one 308 are connected through a support 307 and two gear wheels two 306 respectively.

[0036] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 204 comprises a fixing frame 2043 and two cleaning wheels 2041 arranged in the shell 101, a motor 2042 is arranged on the fixing frame 2043, and the output end of the motor 2042 and the input end of the cleaning wheel 2041 are connected through a transmission belt one 2044.

[0037] Specifically, the position adjusting assembly 205 includes an electric push rod 2048 arranged at the top of the shell 101, a movable seat 2047 arranged at the output end of the electric push rod 2048, a swing arm I 2045 arranged between the cleaning wheel 2041 and the shell 101, and a swing arm II 2046 arranged between the swing arm I 2045 and the movable seat 2047.

[0038] Specifically, a dust suction seat 203 is arranged between the movable seat 2047 and the fixed frame 2043, and a dust suction member 201 is arranged at the top of the shell 101. The dust suction member 201 is in communication with the dust suction seat 203 and the dust suction pipe 303 through the hose 202.

[0039] As can be seen from the above structure, during work, the device is clamped on the photovoltaic panel through the limiting frame 102, and the device can automatically walk on the photovoltaic panel by starting the driving wheel 103. During the walking process, the roller I 308 will be in contact with the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned in advance. When there is a hard particle impurity on the photovoltaic panel, the roller I 308 will be lifted upward after contacting the hard particle impurity, and then swing upward around the gear II 306 as the axis through the support 307, and the swing amplitude corresponds to the size of the hard particle impurity. When the roller I 308 swings upward, the gear II 306 will rotate synchronously, and then drive the gear I 302 to rotate in the opposite direction through the meshing with the gear II 306. The rotation of the gear I 302 will drive the valve block 305 to move outward from the valve seat 304 through the telescopic rod I 301, so as to increase the opening degree of the valve seat 304, reduce the resistance, increase the suction of the dust suction pipe 303, and avoid the blockage caused by the particle impurity with large size. The pre-removal of the hard particle impurity can avoid scratching the photovoltaic panel during subsequent cleaning. After the roller I 308 passes over the impurity, it will fall back to the original position due to its own weight, and then the opening degree of the valve seat 304 will be restored. The suction generated by the dust suction member 201 is distributed in other dust suction pipes 303 that need to remove the particle impurities with large size, so as to improve the work efficiency and reduce the work energy consumption.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the roller I 308 can adopt a rubber tire, the support 307 can adopt a hollow plastic material, which is relatively light in texture, and the outer surface of the roller I 308 can be provided with anti-skid lines. When the hard particle impurity is not adhered to the photovoltaic panel, the rolling of the roller I 308 will make the anti-skid lines on it grab the outer surface of the hard particle impurity, so that it can bear the axial downward pressure of the roller I 308 while bearing the thrust of the roller I 308, so as to press the hard particle impurity downward on the photovoltaic panel. Combined with the light texture, the hard particle impurity can be easily passed over, and synchronous movement is avoided. At the same time, the distance between the dust suction pipe 303 and the photovoltaic panel is relatively close. When the hard particle impurity is adhered tightly, it will be pushed down by the dust suction pipe 303 when it contacts the bottom of the dust suction pipe 303. Combined with the increase of the opening degree of the valve seat 304, the suction is increased, so that the hard particle impurity can be easily sucked away, avoiding omission and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0041] When cleaning, the electric push rod 2048 is started to drive the movable seat 2047 to move downward. The movable seat 2047 moves and pushes the swing arm 2045 downward through the swing arm 2046, thereby driving the two cleaning wheels 2041 to synchronously separate and swing, improving the cleaning range and making the cleaning wheels 2041 closely contact with the photovoltaic panel, improving the cleaning effect. Then the motor 2042 is started, which drives the two cleaning wheels 2041 to synchronously rotate through the transmission belt 2044, so as to clean the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel. In the cleaning process, the dust suction part 201 is started, so that the dust suction seat 203 can be used to concentrate and extract the dust cleaned, completing the cleaning work of the photovoltaic panel. When the electric push rod 2048 drives the cleaning wheels 2041 to swing, the dust suction seat 203 is driven to synchronously move up and down, ensuring the relative position between the dust suction seat 203 and the cleaning wheels 2041 and ensuring the dust suction effect. After the work is completed, the device can be inverted, water is sprayed on the cleaning wheels 2041, and then the electric push rod 2048 is started to drive the movable seat 2047 to move upward, thereby driving the two cleaning wheels 2041 to synchronously approach and swing until they are in contact and extrusion, so as to extrude the absorbed water and residual dust. Repeating the process can complete the cleaning and care work of the cleaning wheels 2041 without the need to manually clean, which is convenient for personnel to use.

[0042] Embodiment two:

[0043] See the attached Figs. 1-7 On the basis of embodiment one, the photovoltaic panel cleaning device provided by the embodiment further comprises a tailing mechanism 4. The tailing mechanism 4 comprises a storage box 401 arranged at the rear end of the shell 101, a cleaning cloth 402 arranged in the storage box 401, and a renewal assembly 403 arranged between the cleaning cloth 402 and the shell 101.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6 The renewal assembly 403 comprises a telescopic rod two 4031 arranged at the rear end of the shell 101, a rack 4034 arranged in the telescopic rod two 4031, a sliding block 4033 arranged on both sides of the rack 4034, an inclined sliding groove 4032 arranged on both sides of the telescopic rod two 4031, a roller two 4035 arranged at the bottom of the telescopic rod two 4031, a gear three 4038 arranged in the shell 101, a roller one 4036 and a roller two 4037 arranged in the storage box 401, the gear three 4038 and the roller one 4036 are connected through a transmission belt two 4039, and the rack 4034 is engaged with the gear three 4038.

[0045] Specifically, the roller two 4037 is located at the bottom of the roller one 4036, and the cleaning cloth 402 is connected with the roller one 4036 and the roller two 4037 through tension.

[0046] Specifically, the rear end of the storage box 401 is provided with a dismounting plate 4011, the shaft 4037 is provided with a threaded block 4012, and the threaded blocks 4012 on the two sides of the storage box 401 are threadedly connected with nuts 4013.

[0047] From the above structure, it can be known that after the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the residual dust on the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel can be wiped and cleaned by the cleaning cloth 402 during the movement of the device, and the cleaning effect is improved. The outer frame of the photovoltaic panel is slightly thicker than the panel body. When the device completes the cleaning work of a photovoltaic panel, it moves to the next photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array. During the movement, when the second roller 4035 contacts the outer frame, it is lifted upward. Since the sliding block 4033 is located at the lowest part of the inclined sliding groove 4032, the rack 4034 cannot move downward, and thus moves upward under the pushing of the second telescopic rod 4031, so as to drive the gear three 4038 to rotate through the meshing of the rack 4034 and the gear three 4038. The gear three 4038 drives the shaft one 4036 to rotate through the transmission belt two 4039, and then drives the cleaning cloth 402 to move in the rolling direction of the shaft one 4036 through the tension and friction, moves the part of the cleaning cloth 402 contaminated with dust into the storage box 401, and moves the clean cleaning cloth 402 to the position in contact with the photovoltaic panel to perform subsequent cleaning work, so as to ensure the cleaning effect. After the second roller 4035 passes over the outer frame, it returns to the original position by relying on its own gravity. The rack 4034 is blocked by the gear three 4038 after contacting the gear three 4038, and then moves obliquely upward under the guidance of the inclined sliding groove 4032, so that the rack 4034 is separated from the gear three 4038, and the meshing relationship is released. When the sliding block 4033 slides to the lowest part of the inclined sliding groove 4032, the sliding block 4033 meshes with the gear three 4038 again and blocks the gear three 4038 from rotating in the initial direction, so that the cleaning cloth 402 moves in one direction, and the cleaning effect is improved. The movement track of the inclined sliding groove 4032 and the sliding block 4033 is matched.

[0048] Example three:

[0049] See the attached Figs. 1-7 On the basis of example two, the application further provides a photovoltaic panel cleaning method, which adopts the photovoltaic panel cleaning device in any one of the above examples, as shown in Fig. 7 The method comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step one: place the shell 101 on the photovoltaic panel, and clamp the shell 101 on the two end frames of the photovoltaic panel by the limiting frame 102, so that the driving wheel 103 contacts the frame of the photovoltaic panel, and then start the driving wheel 103 to drive the shell 101 to move uniformly on the photovoltaic panel;

[0051] Step two: detecting the hard particles on the photovoltaic panel by the detection assembly, and after detection, adjusting the suction force of the dust suction pipe 303 according to the size of the hard particles by the opening adjusting assembly to suck and clean the hard particles;

[0052] Step three: starting the position adjusting assembly 205 during the movement of the shell 101, so that the cleaning assembly 204 is in contact with the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the cleaning assembly 204 is started to sweep the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel;

[0053] Step four: wiping and cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel after sweeping by the cleaning cloth 402, and after completing the cleaning work of one photovoltaic panel, replacing the cleaning cloth 402 in contact with the photovoltaic panel by the updating assembly 403 to clean the next photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array.

[0054] From the above structure, the photovoltaic panel cleaning method provided by the application can clean the photovoltaic panel in the solar photovoltaic array, and the process is as follows: the shell 101 is placed on the photovoltaic panel, the limiting frame 102 is clamped on the frame at both ends of the photovoltaic panel, the driving wheel 103 is in contact with the frame of the photovoltaic panel, the driving wheel 103 is started to drive the shell 101 to move uniformly on the photovoltaic panel; the hard particles on the photovoltaic panel are detected by the support 307, and after detection, the opening of the valve seat 304 is adjusted by the valve block 305 according to the size of the hard particles, and the suction force of the dust suction pipe 303 is dynamically adjusted to suck and clean the hard particles; the motor 2042 is started, the two cleaning wheels 2041 are driven to rotate by the transmission belt 2044 to sweep the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the dust is concentrated and extracted by the dust suction seat 203; finally, the surface of the photovoltaic panel after sweeping and extraction is wiped and cleaned by the cleaning cloth 402, and after completing the cleaning work of one photovoltaic panel, the cleaning cloth 402 in contact with the photovoltaic panel is replaced to clean the next photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array, so as to improve the cleaning effect of each photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array.
