The first motor (6) drives the cleaning shaft (5) to rotate, and the cleaning shaft (5) drives the cleaning tube (4) to rotate together through the fixed rod (32), so that the cleaning shaft (5) and the cleaning brush (7) on the cleaning tube (4) rotate to clean the photovoltaic panel; S3: starting the second motor (13), the second motor (13) drives the rotating shaft (14) to rotate, the rotating shaft (14) drives the running wheels (15) to rotate, so that the running wheels (15) can move on the side walls of the photovoltaic panel, and the rotation of the cleaning brush (7) and the spraying of water can achieve efficient and convenient cleaning of the photovoltaic panel; S4: When the housing (1) and the movable housing (2) move to a position on one side of a photovoltaic panel, the second motor (13) stops rotating, and the electric push rod (22) and the third motor (17) on one side are started. The electric push rod (22) drives the rack (21) to move, and the rack (21) meshes with the gear (20) to rotate. The gear (20) drives the connecting plate (12) to rotate through the vertical rod (24), so that the walking wheel (15) on the other side of the connecting plate (12) rotates to a suitable position, and drives the second threaded rod (25) to rotate through the third motor (17). The second threaded rod (25) The meshing vertical rod (24) moves, and the connecting plate (12) is driven by the vertical rod (24) to adjust the height of the running wheels (15), so that the running wheels (15) on one side are clamped to the side walls of the adjacent photovoltaic panels. At this time, the second motor (13) is started again, and the second motor (13) is used to drive the running wheels (15) to rotate, so that the device can move to the adjacent photovoltaic panel, and by controlling the electric push rod (22) and the third motor (17) on the other side, the four running wheels (15) can be clamped on the adjacent photovoltaic panel, so as to facilitate the cleaning operation of the photovoltaic panel; S5: Repeating the above operations can enable the device to perform efficient cleaning operations on the photovoltaic panels in one direction, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the photovoltaic panels.
