Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects and channel maintenance, and particularly to an orbital self-propelled channel inner wall cleaning device and method. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of water conservancy projects and agricultural irrigation, etc., as an important water conveyance facility, the cleaning and maintenance of the inner wall of the channel are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the channel and extending its service life. During the long-term operation of the inner wall of the channel, it is easy to attach sundries such as waterweeds, moss, and algae. If these attachments are not cleaned in time, a series of problems will occur, such as obstructing water flow, reducing water conveyance efficiency, and causing corrosion to the channel structure.
[0003] At present, for the cleaning and maintenance of the inner wall of the channel, although a variety of technologies have been proposed and applied, there are still many deficiencies. For example, CN210368858U discloses an energy-saving water conservancy project system, which includes components such as a channel, a T-shaped track, a C-shaped slider, a rack, a gear, a servo motor, and a sewage pump, and realizes the cleaning of the inner wall of the channel through an automated mechanical structure. However, this system still has some technical defects and deficiencies: Limited cleaning range: This system mainly realizes the cleaning of the inner wall of the channel by the sliding of the C-shaped slider on the T-shaped track, but its cleaning range is limited by the installation positions of the C-shaped slider and the sewage pump, and may not be able to fully cover the inner wall of the channel, especially the corner and dead-end areas, resulting in incomplete cleaning.
[0004] Poor adaptability: This system has poor adaptability to channels of different shapes and sizes. Due to the fixed installation positions and structures of components such as the C-shaped slider and the sewage pump, when facing channels with complex structures or large slopes, it may not be able to effectively fit the inner wall of the channel, affecting the cleaning effect.
[0005] Energy utilization efficiency needs to be improved: Although this system adopts a solar power supply method, in practical applications, due to the limitations of the installation position and orientation of the solar panels, as well as the influence of weather and other factors, the utilization efficiency of solar energy may not be high, resulting in the equipment being unable to work properly during some time periods.
[0006] Insufficient intelligence level: Although this system realizes automated cleaning, it lacks intelligent control and adaptive adjustment capabilities. For example, it cannot automatically adjust the cleaning frequency and intensity according to the cleaning state of the inner wall of the channel, nor can it make adaptive adjustments according to changes in the channel environment and working conditions.
[0007] In addition to the above patents, similar problems also exist in other existing inner wall cleaning technologies for channels. For example, manual cleaning is intuitive and effective, but it has a high labor intensity and low efficiency; although traditional mechanical equipment-assisted cleaning can improve the cleaning efficiency to a certain extent, it has a complex structure, inconvenient operation, high maintenance costs, and poor adaptability to different channel shapes and sizes. And some existing automated cleaning devices may have problems such as incomplete cleaning, low efficiency, and lack of intelligent control.
[0008] In summary, the existing inner wall cleaning technologies for channels still have obvious deficiencies in terms of cleaning efficiency, adaptability, intelligence, and automation level. Especially when facing channels with complex structures or large slopes, traditional cleaning devices are often difficult to effectively fit the inner wall of the channel, resulting in poor cleaning effects. In addition, some cleaning devices need to be externally powered during operation, further increasing the complexity of equipment layout and operating costs.
[0009] In view of the limitations of the above existing technologies, the present invention proposes an innovative track self-propelled inner wall cleaning device and method for channels. By integrating advanced automated control technologies, clean energy utilization technologies, and efficient cleaning components, this device aims to achieve comprehensive, efficient, and automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the channel, overcome the deficiencies of the existing technologies, and improve the intelligence and automation level of channel maintenance.

The motor 5 adopts an energy-efficient design to ensure long-term operation without overheating. The control system (not shown in the figure) is responsible for monitoring the speed and position of the action wheel 3 to ensure the stable travel of the device in the channel.
[0036] 4. Energy system: The energy storage battery 4 stores electrical energy and powers components such as the motor 5 and the cleaning vibration motor 11. The solar panel 6 converts solar energy into electrical energy to charge the energy storage battery 4, realizing the utilization of green energy.
[0037] 5. Cleaning components: The left cleaning rod 7, the right cleaning rod 8 and the bottom cleaning rod 9 are hinged to the main support rod 1 and can be adjusted adaptively according to the shape and slope of the channel.

[0041] 1. Adjustment mechanism of the cleaning rod: The bottom cleaning rod 9 is respectively connected to the left cleaning rod 7 and the right cleaning rod 8 through hinges, enabling adjustment in the up-down and left-right directions. The adjustment mechanism can be manual or electric and can be precisely adjusted according to the slope and shape of the channel.

[0045] 1. Working principle: Place the device in the channel 2, adjust the positions of the cleaning rod and the opening and closing water baffle 12, and then start the motor 5 to drive the driving wheels to move.
[0046] Turn on the cleaning vibration motor 11 to enable the cleaning brush head 10 to perform cleaning operations in a vibrating state, improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0047] The control system monitors the power of the storage battery 4. When the power is insufficient, start the water turbine generator 13 to charge and replenish energy.
[0048] After the cleaning operation is completed, turn off the motor 5 and the vibration motor 11 through the control system.
[0049] 2. Composition of the energy system: The solar panel 6 is used as the main energy supply device to convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the energy storage battery 4.

[0052] 3. Energy management strategy: The control system intelligently adjusts the working states of the solar panel 6 and the water turbine generator 13 according to the power of the storage battery 4 and the requirements of the cleaning operation.
[0053] When there is sufficient sunlight and sufficient power, the solar panel 6 is preferentially used for power supply; when there is insufficient sunlight or insufficient power, the water turbine generator 13 is started for energy supplement.
[0054] The control system also has the functions of power monitoring and warning. When the power is lower than the set threshold, it will timely remind the operator to charge or replace the battery.
[0055] Embodiment 4 In another preferred embodiment, on the basis of Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, this embodiment focuses on introducing the intelligent management function and automatic operation process of the device to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the cleaning operation.

[0061] When a channel is cleaned, the control system automatically starts the motor 5 to reverse, so that the device returns to the starting position or proceeds to clean the next channel 2.
[0062] During the entire operation process, the control system also has the functions of fault self-detection and alarm. Once an abnormal situation occurs (such as the motor 5 overheating, insufficient power, the cleaning brush head 10 being blocked, etc.), the control system will immediately issue an alarm signal and stop the operation to ensure the safe operation of the device.
