Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning of photovoltaic power stations, and in particular relates to an automatic scraping type intelligent cleaning device for photovoltaic power stations based on image recognition technology. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for clean energy grows, photovoltaic power generation, as a clean and renewable energy form, has been widely used and developed. Photovoltaic power stations provide green electricity to society by converting solar energy into electrical energy. However, in the actual operation of photovoltaic power stations, pollutants such as dust, dirt, and fallen leaves on the surface of photovoltaic panels will have a significant negative impact on power generation efficiency. On the one hand, pollutants on the surface of photovoltaic panels will block sunlight, reduce the solar energy absorbed by photovoltaic panels, and thus reduce power generation. Studies have shown that when pollutants such as dust on the surface of photovoltaic panels accumulate to a certain extent, it may cause a 10% or even more decrease in power generation efficiency, which means huge economic losses for large-scale photovoltaic power stations. On the other hand, traditional photovoltaic panel cleaning methods mostly rely on manual cleaning or simple mechanical cleaning equipment. Manual cleaning is not only inefficient, but also poses a safety hazard. Especially in large-scale photovoltaic power stations, manual cleaning requires a lot of manpower and time costs. Although simple mechanical cleaning equipment has improved the cleaning efficiency to a certain extent, it often lacks intelligence and cannot perform targeted cleaning according to the actual pollution situation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. It may result in incomplete cleaning or excessive cleaning, damaging the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Although existing cleaning components and fault detection are relatively mature and actually applied, most of them are single devices with many components and independent operation. They have large power losses and are prone to failure. Moreover, cleaning robots are mostly used in flat photovoltaics. Mountain photovoltaics are affected by the terrain, and cleaning robots are affected by their ability to cross obstacles.

[0036] The present invention also proposes a method for using an automatic scraping and sweeping photovoltaic power station intelligent cleaning device based on image recognition technology, comprising the following steps: Step 1: First, connect all electrical devices with wires and power them on; then start the driving device inside the tracked vehicle 1, control the rotation of the transmission wheel 3 through the driving device, thereby controlling the rotation of the track 2, and then support the track 2 through the driven wheel 4 and the supporting wheel 5, thereby controlling the movement of the tracked vehicle 1, and then controlling the movement of the device in the photovoltaic station.

[0037] Step 2, start the first motor 8, the first motor 8 drives the driving gear 9 to rotate, because the driving gear 9 is meshed with the inner gear ring 10, and the inner gear ring 10 is fixedly connected to the supporting box 6, so that the driving gear 9 revolves around the axis of the inner gear ring 10, and then drives the driving box 7 to rotate on the upper end of the supporting box 6, and the driving box 7 drives the supporting plate 14 and the high-definition camera 17 to rotate, and then adjusts the horizontal angle of the high-definition camera 17. The three first electric push rods 13 are synchronously extended and retracted, driving the height of the first articulated seat 16 to change, and the first articulated seat 16 slides inside the corresponding T-shaped slide groove, so that the supporting plate 14 rotates on the connecting rod 15, and then adjusts the pitch angle of the high-definition camera 17, so as to control the high-definition camera 17 to face the tilted photovoltaic panel.

[0038] Step 3: When the high-definition camera 17 detects impurities on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the data is uploaded to the cloud through the data transmission platform 11, and then the second electric push rod 19 is started to push the cleaning box 18 out of the crawler vehicle 1, and then the second motor 21 is started to control the rotation of the positioning screw 20, and then the first mobile seat 22 is controlled to move to the front end. Since the drive tube 24 is connected to the first mobile seat 22 through the hinge ball 23, and the drive tube 24 is connected to the second mobile seat 30 through the support column 36, the front end of the drive tube 24 is gradually lifted upward. Then the fourth motor 25 is started, and the fourth motor 25 drives the adjustment screw 26 to rotate. Since the adjustment screw 26 is screwed with the positioning seat 27 and the cleaning rod 28 at the same time, the cleaning rod 28 is driven to extend toward the outside of the drive tube 24, and the cleaning rod 28 drives the cleaning roller 29 to move to the outside of the drive tube 24.

[0039] Step 4, after the cleaning rod 28 extends out of the outside of the driving tube 24, the brush bristles on the outside of the cleaning roller 29 on the cleaning rod 28 are controlled to press against the surface of the photovoltaic panel through the crawler 2. Then the third motor 35 is started, and the third motor 35 controls the swing screw 32 to rotate through the mutually meshing active bevel gear 34 and the driven bevel gear 33. Since the swing screw 32 is screwed with the two second moving seats 30, the two second moving seats 30 are controlled to move in the same direction. When the two second moving seats 30 move in the same direction, the second moving seat 30 drives the third articulated seat 37 to move synchronously in the same direction through the support column 36, so that the third articulated seat 37 slides inside the T-slot of the driving tube 24 through the rotating plate 38, and at the same time, the third articulated seat 37 rotates relative to the driving tube 24, and the driving tube 24 rotates relative to the first moving seat 22 through the articulated ball 23. When the second movable seat 30 slides back and forth, it drives the driving tube 24 to swing back and forth, and the driving tube 24 drives the bristles on the cleaning roller 29 to swing back and forth on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby completing the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel.

[0040] Step 5: Use the bristles on the outside of the cleaning roller 29 to sweep away the impurities that are not adhered to the surface of the photovoltaic panel. When the impurities adhered to the surface of the photovoltaic panel cannot be cleaned, the crawler 2 moves to make the scraper 51 abut against the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the fourth motor 25 controls the extension and retraction of the cleaning roller 29, thereby controlling the scraper 51 to move up and down on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. When the scraper 51 moves upward, the cleaning liquid is provided to the first nozzle 42 at the upper end through the water pump in the first water tank 44 and the first water pipe 43, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel through the first nozzle 42. The scraper 51 moves upward, so that the cleaning liquid is evenly applied on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. When the scraper 51 moves downward, the water pump in the second water tank 48 and the second water pipe 47 provide clean water to the second nozzle 46, and the cleaning liquid on the surface of the photovoltaic panel is rinsed off through the second nozzle 46, and then the scraper 51 moves downward, so as to scrape off the adhered impurities.

[0041] Step 6: When cleaning is completed, the cleaning rod 28 is retracted into the driving tube 24 by the fourth motor 25; the two second moving seats 30 are driven to move to the front side of the two positioning screws 20 by the third motor 35; the driving tube 24 is gradually rotated downward by the second motor 21 until the driving tube 24 is retracted into the cleaning box 18. The cleaning box 18 is controlled to retract into the crawler vehicle 1 by the second electric push rod 19. Then the control device moves to the next position to be cleaned.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention.
