[0046] The present invention can control the robot to reach the photovoltaic panels to clean the photovoltaic panels by remote control, without the need for the staff to manually place the robot on the photovoltaic panels. Therefore, during the cleaning process of the photovoltaic panels, the staff does not need to reach every photovoltaic panel, thereby reducing the work intensity of the staff. In addition, the weight of the robot is borne by the ground through the motion base 1, rather than the gravity of the robot being borne by the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby avoiding damage to the photovoltaic panel due to excessive pressure.

By setting up the electric telescopic rod 7, the height of the water collecting trough 8 is matched with the lower end of the photovoltaic panel, ensuring the recovery rate of the sewage and avoiding sewage leakage.

[0048] When cleaning the photovoltaic panel, firstly, the centering is completed by sliding the sliding seat 2 11 on the sliding seat 1 10, and then the width is adjusted by sliding the sliding block 14, so as to complete the accurate alignment of the cleaning robot and the photovoltaic panel, and finally the positioning plate 25 is in contact with the frame of the photovoltaic panel, thereby ensuring the stability of the photovoltaic panel during the cleaning process, and completing the relative positioning of the robot and the photovoltaic panel, providing a precision basis for the remote control robot to clean the photovoltaic panel, avoiding the missed cleaning or incomplete cleaning of some areas of the photovoltaic panel due to the vibration of the photovoltaic panel, and improving the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel.

[0061] Preferably, the image analysis unit comprises:

[0062] The pattern extraction subunit is used to extract all characteristic patterns in the board surface image, and divide the characteristic patterns into stain patterns and scratch patterns according to the appearance characteristics of each characteristic pattern;

[0063] A calculation subunit, used for calculating evaluation parameters of photovoltaic panels;

[0064] Where P is the evaluation parameter of the photovoltaic panel; k is the calculation coefficient corresponding to the camera resolution; σ and τ are the calculation coefficients of power generation efficiency and photovoltaic panel safety, respectively; α and β are the calculation coefficients of the total area of ​​the stain pattern and the area of ​​a single stain pattern, respectively; M is the total number of stain patterns; S i is the area of ​​the i-th stain pattern; S q is the total surface area of ​​the photovoltaic panel; S w is the classification basis of the stain pattern area; N is the total number of scratch patterns; e is the natural base number; D j is the average width of the jth scratch pattern; D g S is the classification basis for the width of the scratch pattern; j is the area of ​​the circumscribed rectangle of the jth scratch pattern; S L L is the grading basis of the area of ​​the circumscribed rectangle of the scratch pattern; j is the total length of the i-th scratch pattern; S0 is the unit area; L0 is the unit length; ln is the logarithmic function with e as the base; θ g is the angle of sunlight; θ b is the angle between the photovoltaic panel and the ground;

When the photovoltaic panel evaluation parameter is less than or equal to the preset maintenance threshold, no alarm is issued.

[0066] In this embodiment, the process of acquiring a strip image is as follows: first, the electric telescopic rod is controlled to remain at a specified telescopic length, and then the camera moves from one end of the photovoltaic panel to the other end along with the rotating brush, and the images acquired by the camera in the process are spliced ​​to obtain a strip image.

[0067] In this embodiment, the stitching area refers to the overlapping area of ​​two strip images during the stitching process.

[0068] In this embodiment, the characteristic image includes a surface scratch image.

[0069] In this embodiment, the overlap degree of the characteristic images in the two strip images refers to the ratio of the overlap area of ​​the same characteristic image to the total area of ​​the characteristic image in the two strip images.

In this way, the photovoltaic panel can be inspected and repaired in time when the photovoltaic panel is in poor condition or there is a safety hazard, thereby ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the photovoltaic panel.

[0074] When acquiring the board surface image, the overlap of the characteristic images in each stitching area is verified to ensure the accuracy of the stitching of the strip images. By locking the stitching position of each strip image in turn, it is ensured that the stitching position of the verified strip images will not be changed, thereby ensuring the reliability of the obtained board surface image.

[0075] When evaluating a photovoltaic panel, first determine the degree of influence of the stain pattern on the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel through the area occupied by each stain pattern and the total area of ​​all stain patterns, then correct the degree of influence on the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel through the width of each scratch pattern, thereby obtaining an evaluation result of the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, then consider the influence of scratches on the surface of the photovoltaic panel on the safe operation of the photovoltaic panel, and obtain a preliminary evaluation result of the photovoltaic panel by comprehensively considering the evaluation result of the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel and the influence of scratches on the surface of the photovoltaic panel on the safe operation of the photovoltaic panel, then correct the preliminary evaluation result according to the lighting conditions and the resolution of the camera, and obtain the final evaluation parameters of the photovoltaic panel, thereby judging whether the photovoltaic panel needs to be repaired, so that the operating status of the photovoltaic panel can be analyzed while cleaning the photovoltaic panel, and hidden dangers can be discovered in time, thereby eliminating the hidden dangers in time, reducing the failure rate of the photovoltaic panel.
