[0059] A self-cleaning camera module suitable for a photovoltaic cleaning robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention can provide a real-time image of the front of the photovoltaic cleaning robot for an automatic cleaning navigation system, and can provide a clear cleaning image of the photovoltaic cleaning robot for back-end maintenance personnel and operation and maintenance personnel. The operation and maintenance personnel can see the cleaning operation quality of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, the contamination status of the components of the photovoltaic power station, and the environmental image of the photovoltaic power station.

[0060] The self-cleaning camera module suitable for a photovoltaic cleaning robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention has a self-cleaning capability through the arranged wiper assembly 220. It can automatically clean the camera lens (i.e., the protective glass 207) in an operating environment with serious dust and sewage pollution, so that the camera image can remain clean and will not be covered by dust and sewage, which would affect the quality of the image seen in the background.

[0061] The embodiment of the present invention provides a self-cleaning camera module suitable for a photovoltaic cleaning robot. By providing an LED high beam 209 and an LED low beam 210, the module also has the capability of high and low beam lighting. In an environment without lighting, the module can illuminate the nearby environment to the maximum extent and can also see the distant environment to the maximum extent. This enables unmanned and on-duty photovoltaic cleaning robots to be used normally when performing cleaning operations in an environment without lighting at night.

[0062] The self-cleaning camera module suitable for a photovoltaic cleaning robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention has an overall structure that adopts a dustproof and waterproof design, and can be used normally in a high-dust environment where the photovoltaic cleaning robot is operating, and can also be used normally when the photovoltaic cleaning robot is cleaning on rainy days. At the same time, it can provide the automatic cleaning navigation system with a picture of the photovoltaic cleaning robot's forward direction, and can provide the backstage maintenance personnel and operation and maintenance personnel with a cleaning picture of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can see the cleaning quality of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, the component contamination of the photovoltaic power station, and the environmental picture of the photovoltaic power station.

[0063] The LED low beam 210 has the characteristics of a large lighting range, and the LED high beam 209 has the characteristics of focusing light and irradiating a long distance. In an environment without lighting, turn on the fill light, and turn on the LED low beam 210 and the LED high beam 209 at the same time. The two LED lights (i.e., the LED low beam 210 and the LED high beam 209) can illuminate the nearby environment to the maximum extent, and can also see the distant environment to the maximum extent, so that when the unmanned and on-duty photovoltaic cleaning robot is operating in an environment without lighting at night, a clear night cleaning picture can be normally seen in the background.

[0064] The self-cleaning camera module suitable for a photovoltaic cleaning robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention is installed in front of the front of the photovoltaic cleaning robot (i.e., the front end of the upper cover 101) through the reserved installation holes (i.e., the first connection fastening hole 251 and the second connection fastening hole 252) on the connection support plate 250 at the lower end of the rear cover 202. When the backstage personnel need to view the picture in front of the fuselage 100 of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, they can open the mobile phone APP or the web page to view the high-definition picture in real time. At night when there is no lighting, when the backstage personnel want to see the picture in front of the photovoltaic cleaning robot clearly, they can turn on the fill light in the camera control interface on the mobile phone APP or the web page. At this time, the LED low beam 210 and the LED high beam 209 are turned on at the same time, and the backstage personnel can see both the large-scale picture in the near distance and the objects in the distance. When the photovoltaic cleaning robot is operating in a rainy day or in an environment with sewage, water droplets and sewage can easily splash onto the camera lens (i.e., the protective glass 207), making the camera image blurred. At this time, you can click the wiper button, and the wiper strip 224 in the wiper assembly 220 will wipe once, and the water droplets and sewage will be scraped away by the wiper strip 224, and the camera 203 image will become clear again.

[0065] To protect the electrical components inside the self-cleaning camera module, the two LED lights will automatically turn off with a delay, and will automatically turn off when the backstage personnel exit the camera screen or when there is no operation for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the lights. To ensure the normal use of the wiper assembly 220, no manual operation is required. When the photovoltaic cleaning robot is operating normally, the automatic cleaning navigation system of the photovoltaic cleaning robot will issue a scraping command at a fixed interval to make the wiper strip 224 scrape once to scrape away the dust and dirty water on the protective glass 207, so as to avoid excessive dust accumulation on the protective glass 207 or solidification of sewage due to the wiper strip 224 not scraping for a long time, so that the wiper assembly 220 cannot be used normally.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
