Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel cleaning, and in particular to a cleaning method of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation, as a renewable and clean energy, has become an important force in today's global energy transformation. However, the surface of solar panels is prone to accumulation of dust, sand and other dirt. If not cleaned, the power generation of the components will be attenuated and the power generation will decrease.

[0003] At present, most photovoltaic panel cleaning devices on the market use a roller brush to clean the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. For example, a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot and its control method disclosed in Application No. 202311231246.5, the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot includes a roller brush cleaning device, which includes a roller brush assembly arranged at the front end of the vehicle body and a nozzle arranged above the roller brush assembly. Although the cleaning robot can be controlled by the scheduling system to regularly clean photovoltaic panels laid over a large area, it does not take into account that there is a lot of dust or stains on the photovoltaic panels. The roller brush scrubs the surface of the photovoltaic panel during the operation of the cleaning robot, and the cleaned debris will contaminate the cleaned photovoltaic panel area along the water sprayed from the nozzle. In other words, there is a problem of poor cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning method and related equipment of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a cleaning method and related equipment of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, which are used to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect of photovoltaic panel cleaning robots in related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cleaning method of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, wherein the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot comprises a robot support, a spray device disposed at the front end of the robot support, and roller brushes symmetrically disposed on both sides of the robot support, wherein the roller brushes are used to clean the photovoltaic panel with the aid of liquid sprayed by the spray device; the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot further comprises a filter box, wherein the filter box is used to filter debris from the liquid passing through the roller brush; the method comprises:

[0008] Receiving control information from a remote control device; controlling the cleaning action of the cleaning robot according to the control information to clean the photovoltaic panel;

[0009] Obtaining debris sensing data using a sensing device disposed on the filter box;

[0010] Determining whether the debris collected by the filter box meets a first warning condition according to the debris sensing data;

[0011] When the first warning condition is met, a filter box cleaning prompt message is sent to the remote control device;

[0012] The filter box that meets the first warning condition is used as the target filter box, and the warning device arranged on one side of the target filter box of the robot bracket is controlled to send out a warning signal.

[0013] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that by real-time monitoring of the debris in the filter box through the sensing device, and prompting and warning according to the set early warning conditions, the filter box can be effectively prevented from being blocked due to excessive accumulation of debris, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning process and the stability of the cleaning effect, and improving the overall cleaning efficiency and quality. In other words, it not only solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of photovoltaic panels, but also avoids the problem of reduced cleaning efficiency caused by users not being able to know the blockage of the filter box in time. The entire cleaning method can perform corresponding cleaning actions by receiving control information from the remote control device, and send prompt information to the remote control device at the key link where the filter box needs to be cleaned, realizing the control of the cleaning process, reducing the cost and workload of manual on-site operations, allowing operators to effectively monitor and manage the cleaning robot from a certain distance, and improving the convenience and intelligence level of the entire cleaning work.

[0014] In one embodiment, judging whether the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition according to the debris sensing data includes:

[0015] When the debris sensing data indicates that the debris in the filter box exceeds a first preset value, timing is performed. If the timing duration is not less than the preset duration and continues to indicate that the debris in the filter box exceeds the first preset value, it is considered that the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition.

[0016] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that by monitoring the debris situation in the filter box and setting reasonable warning conditions, it is possible to promptly detect whether the filter box is close to being blocked or needs to be cleaned. At the same time, the technical solution provided by the embodiment does not simply trigger an early warning immediately based on the debris sensing data exceeding a certain threshold, but combines time and the state of continuously exceeding the threshold to make a comprehensive judgment. Considering that the working environment of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot is relatively harsh, the judgment logic of the time factor can effectively reduce the false alarm caused by debris fluctuations or other interference factors in a short period of time, making the early warning more accurate and reliable, avoiding operators from frequently dealing with false early warnings, and improving the practicality of the method.

[0017] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0018] When the first warning condition is met, judging whether the debris collected by the filter box meets the second warning condition according to the debris sensing data, and the second warning condition is higher than the first warning condition;

[0019] When the second warning condition is met, the cleaning action of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot is stopped; the cleaning action includes the movement of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot and the rolling of the roller brush.

[0020] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that by setting two levels of early warning conditions, the timing of cleaning the filter box can be controlled more accurately. When the debris in the filter box reaches a high level but has not yet seriously hindered the cleaning work, the first early warning condition is triggered first to remind the operator to pay attention to the status of the filter box; and when the second early warning condition is met, the cleaning action is stopped to ensure that the filter box is cleaned only when it really needs to be cleaned, avoiding incomplete cleaning or repeated cleaning due to filter box problems. When the filter box is in an abnormal state due to excessive debris and reaches a level that seriously affects the cleaning work, the cleaning action is automatically stopped, reducing the frequency and workload of manual intervention. It is suitable for cleaning scenarios where multiple photovoltaic panel cleaning robots are started on large-scale photovoltaic panels, improving the convenience and intelligence of management.

[0021] In one of the embodiments, two parallel roller brushes are provided on either side of the robot bracket, and the corresponding filter box is arranged between the two roller brushes and away from the photovoltaic panel; the filter box is used to filter the liquid flowing through the roller brush near the front end of the robot bracket, and the filtered liquid is reused by another roller brush to clean the photovoltaic panel.

[0022] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that by placing the filter box between two parallel roller brushes and filtering the liquid flowing near the front roller brush, the filtered liquid is reused for the cleaning operation of the other roller brush, which can reduce the demand for fresh water resources in the cleaning process, especially in long-term cleaning work, and save water costs. The two roller brushes can work together during the cleaning process, and the latter roller brush can use relatively clean liquid that has been preliminarily filtered for cleaning operations, which can more effectively remove dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and avoid the problem of incomplete cleaning due to excessive debris in the liquid, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency and quality, and ensuring that the photovoltaic panel can maintain good power generation performance. The filter box is placed between the two roller brushes and away from the photovoltaic panel, which makes the installation and maintenance of the filter box more convenient, and the operator can more easily access the filter box, reducing the disassembly or movement of other components, reducing the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost of the equipment, and improving the reliability and operability of the equipment.

[0023] In one embodiment, the spray device includes a nozzle and a movable base disposed between the nozzle and the robot support; the method further includes:

[0024] The movable base is used to adjust the water spraying angle of the nozzle to increase the liquid flow on one side of the target filter box.

[0025] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that by adjusting the spray angle of the nozzle to increase the liquid flow on one side of the target filter box, the roller brush on this side can have more sufficient cleaning liquid when cleaning the photovoltaic panel. This is because there is more dust or stains on this side, so the liquid flow is specifically increased to optimize the cleaning effect.

[0026] In a second aspect, the present application further provides an electronic device comprising one or more processors and a memory; one or more programs are stored in the memory and are configured to be executed by the one or more processors to perform any of the methods described in the first aspect.

[0027] In the third aspect, the present application also provides a cleaning system for a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, including a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot and a remote control device, the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot including the electronic device described in the second aspect, and also including a robot bracket, a spray device arranged at the front end of the robot bracket, and roller brushes symmetrically arranged on both sides of the robot bracket, the roller brushes being used to clean the photovoltaic panels with the help of liquid sprayed by the spray device; the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot also includes a filter box, which is used to filter debris from the liquid passing through the roller brush.

[0028] In one embodiment, the communication method between the remote control device and the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot includes any one or more of the following: WiFi and Bluetooth.

[0029] In a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by at least one processor, the steps of any one of the methods described in the first aspect are implemented.

[0030] In a fifth aspect, the present application further provides a computer program product, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by at least one processor, the steps of any one of the methods described in the first aspect are implemented.

The photovoltaic panel cleaning robot also includes a filter box 40, which is used to filter impurities from the liquid passing through the roller brush. Two parallel roller brushes 30 (a first roller brush 31 and a second roller brush 32) are provided on either side of the robot support 10, and the corresponding filter box 40 is provided between the two roller brushes (the first roller brush 31 and the second roller brush 32) and away from the photovoltaic panel; the filter box 40 is used to filter the liquid flowing through the roller brush (i.e., the first roller brush 31) near the front end of the robot support 10, and reuse the filtered liquid for another roller brush (i.e., the second roller brush 32) to clean the photovoltaic panel. The sensing device includes a photoelectric sensor or a weight sensor; the spray device 20 includes a nozzle, and a movable base provided between the nozzle and the robot support, and the movable base can adjust the spray angle of the nozzle.

[0040] The present application provides a cleaning method and related equipment for a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, which can be used to execute the instructions sent by the remote control device to clean the photovoltaic panel. The sensor device monitors the debris in the filter box in real time, and gives prompts and warnings according to the set early warning conditions, which can effectively avoid the clogging problem caused by excessive accumulation of debris in the filter box, ensure the continuity of the cleaning process and the stability of the cleaning effect, and improve the overall cleaning efficiency and quality. The following will first explain the method, and then explain the equipment, etc.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cleaning method of a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. This embodiment provides a cleaning method, the method comprising:

[0043] S101, receiving control information of a remote control device; controlling the cleaning action of the cleaning robot according to the control information to clean the photovoltaic panel;

[0044] The cleaning robot receives control information from the remote control device, which includes cleaning task instructions and the movement direction and speed of the cleaning robot. According to the received control information, the cleaning robot starts to perform the corresponding cleaning action to clean the photovoltaic panel. For example, the robot will drive along the route corresponding to the control information, and the roller brush will rotate at a certain speed (such as 100-300 rpm) to wash the dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic panel with the liquid (water) sprayed by the spray device.

[0045] S102, obtaining debris sensing data using a sensing device disposed on the filter box;

[0046] The sensing device (photoelectric sensor or weight sensor, etc.) installed on the filter box obtains the debris sensing data in real time. Taking the photoelectric sensor as an example, the accumulation of debris inside the filter box is detected by emitting light and receiving reflected light; taking the weight sensor as an example, the accumulation degree of debris is determined by detecting the change of the filter box weight.

[0047] S103, judging whether the debris collected by the filter box meets a first warning condition according to the debris sensing data;

[0048] The debris sensing data acquired by the sensing device is used to determine whether the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition. For example, when the debris sensing data indicates that the debris in the filter box exceeds a threshold of 50%, the timing is started and the first warning condition is considered to be met.

[0049] S104, when the first warning condition is met, sending a filter box cleaning reminder message to the remote control device; the filter box cleaning reminder message is displayed by the remote control device in the form of, for example, an APP pop-up window, a text message, a flashing warning light, etc.

[0050] S105, taking the filter box that meets the first warning condition as the target filter box, and controlling the warning device disposed on one side of the target filter box of the robot support to send out a warning signal.

[0051] Once the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition, the cleaning robot sends a filter box cleaning reminder message to the remote control device. At the same time, the filter box that meets the condition is determined as the target filter box, and the warning device (such as a red LED light) located on one side of the target filter box of the robot bracket is controlled to send a warning signal to remind the operator to clean the filter box in time.

[0052] Therefore, by using the sensing device to monitor the debris in the filter box in real time and giving prompts and warnings according to the set early warning conditions, the filter box can be effectively prevented from being blocked due to excessive accumulation of debris, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning process and the stability of the cleaning effect, and improving the overall cleaning efficiency and quality. In other words, it not only solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of photovoltaic panels, but also avoids the problem of reduced cleaning efficiency caused by users not being able to know the blockage of the filter box in time. The entire cleaning method can perform corresponding cleaning actions by receiving control information from the remote control device, and send prompt information to the remote control device at the key link where the filter box needs to be cleaned, thereby realizing the control of the cleaning process, reducing the cost and workload of manual on-site operations, and allowing operators to effectively monitor and manage the cleaning robot from a certain distance, improving the convenience and intelligence level of the entire cleaning work.

[0053] In one embodiment, judging whether the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition according to the debris sensing data includes:

[0054] When the debris sensing data indicates that the debris in the filter box exceeds a first preset value, timing is performed. If the timing duration is not less than the preset duration and continues to indicate that the debris in the filter box exceeds the first preset value, it is considered that the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition.

[0055] First, the debris sensing data in the filter box is obtained in real time through the sensing device set on the filter box. When the debris sensing data indicates that the debris in the filter box exceeds a pre-set first preset value, the timing starts. After that, if the timing reaches or exceeds the preset time (for example, 3 seconds, 5 seconds), and during the entire timing period, the debris sensing data continues to indicate that the debris in the filter box exceeds the first preset value, it can be determined that the debris collected by the filter box meets the first warning condition. The above judgment logic can ensure that the warning will only be triggered when the accumulation of debris in the filter box reaches a certain level and lasts for a certain period of time, avoiding misjudgment caused by accidental debris fluctuations.

[0056] Therefore, by monitoring the debris situation in the filter box and setting reasonable warning conditions, it is possible to promptly discover whether the filter box is close to being blocked or needs to be cleaned. At the same time, the technical solution provided by the embodiment does not simply trigger an early warning immediately based on the debris sensing data exceeding a certain threshold, but combines time and the state of continuously exceeding the threshold to make a comprehensive judgment. Considering that the working environment of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot is relatively harsh, the judgment logic of the time factor can effectively reduce the false alarm caused by debris fluctuations or other interference factors in a short period of time, making the early warning more accurate and reliable, avoiding operators from frequently dealing with false early warnings, and improving the practicality of the method.

[0057] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0058] When the first warning condition is met, judging whether the debris collected by the filter box meets the second warning condition according to the debris sensing data, and the second warning condition is higher than the first warning condition;

[0059] When the second warning condition is met, the cleaning action of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot is stopped; the cleaning action includes the movement of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot and the rolling of the roller brush.

[0060] When the debris in the filter box meets the first warning condition, it is further determined whether the second warning condition is met based on the debris sensing data. The setting threshold of the second warning condition is higher than the first warning condition, which means that the subsequent action will only be triggered when the accumulation of debris in the filter box reaches a more serious level. Once the second warning condition is met, the cleaning action of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot will be stopped without the need for the remote control device's command, ensuring that when the filter box status is abnormal and seriously affects the cleaning effect or the equipment's safe operation, the cleaning robot can stop working in time to avoid potential risks and problems.

[0061] Therefore, by setting two levels of warning conditions, the timing of cleaning the filter box can be controlled more accurately. When the debris in the filter box reaches a high level but has not yet seriously hindered the cleaning work, the first warning condition is triggered first to remind the operator to pay attention to the status of the filter box; and when the second warning condition is met, the cleaning action is stopped to ensure that the filter box is cleaned only when it really needs to be cleaned, avoiding incomplete cleaning or repeated cleaning due to filter box problems. When the filter box is in an abnormal state due to excessive debris and reaches a level that seriously affects the cleaning work, the cleaning action is automatically stopped, reducing the frequency and workload of manual intervention. It is suitable for cleaning scenarios where multiple photovoltaic panel cleaning robots are started on large-scale photovoltaic panels, improving the convenience and intelligence of management.

[0062] In one embodiment, two parallel roller brushes are provided on either side of the robot bracket, and the corresponding filter box is arranged between the two roller brushes and away from the photovoltaic panel; the filter box is used to filter the liquid flowing through the roller brush near the front end of the robot bracket, and the filtered liquid is reused by another roller brush to clean the photovoltaic panel.

[0063] Two parallel roller brushes are arranged on either side of the robot bracket of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot, and the corresponding filter box is located between the two roller brushes and away from the photovoltaic panel. When the cleaning robot is working, the roller brush near the front end of the robot bracket first contacts the photovoltaic panel, and the surface of the photovoltaic panel is cleaned with the help of the liquid sprayed by the spray device. The bristles of the roller brush drive the liquid and debris to the filter box, and the filter box filters the debris from the liquid passing through the roller brush near the front end of the robot bracket. The filter box will intercept the debris, and the relatively clean liquid after filtration will flow out of the filter box and be reused by another roller brush to clean the photovoltaic panel.

[0064] Therefore, by placing the filter box between two parallel roller brushes and filtering the liquid flowing near the front roller brush, the filtered liquid can be reused for the cleaning operation of the other roller brush, which can reduce the demand for fresh water resources in the cleaning process, especially in long-term cleaning work, and save water costs. The two roller brushes can work together during the cleaning process, and the latter roller brush can use relatively clean liquid that has been preliminarily filtered for cleaning operations, which can more effectively remove dirt on the surface of the photovoltaic panel and avoid the problem of incomplete cleaning due to excessive debris in the liquid, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency and quality and ensuring that the photovoltaic panel can maintain good power generation performance. Placing the filter box between the two roller brushes and away from the photovoltaic panel makes the installation and maintenance of the filter box more convenient, and the operator can more easily access the filter box, reducing the disassembly or movement of other components, reducing the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost of the equipment, and improving the reliability and operability of the equipment.

[0065] In one embodiment, the sensing device includes a photoelectric sensor or a weight sensor; the spray device includes a nozzle and a movable base disposed between the nozzle and the robot support; the method further includes:

[0066] The movable base is used to adjust the water spraying angle of the nozzle to increase the liquid flow on one side of the target filter box.

[0067] The spray device is mainly composed of a nozzle and a movable base. The nozzle is used to spray liquid to clean the photovoltaic panel, while the movable base is installed between the nozzle and the robot bracket to play a role in support and angle adjustment. The spray angle of the nozzle can be adjusted through the movable base. When it is necessary to increase the liquid flow on one side of the target filter box, the spray angle of the nozzle is changed by using the movable base so that more liquid can flow to the roller brush on one side of the target filter box, thereby achieving enhanced cleaning of the photovoltaic panel on that side.

[0068] Thus, by adjusting the spray angle of the nozzle to increase the liquid flow on one side of the target filter box, the roller brush on that side can have more sufficient cleaning liquid when cleaning the photovoltaic panel. This is because there is more dust or stains on that side, so the liquid flow is specifically increased to optimize the cleaning effect.
