[0002] In seasons that are not suitable for plant growth, such as low temperature seasons, greenhouses can provide a suitable growth environment for warm-loving vegetables, flowers, trees and other plants for cultivation or seedling raising; therefore, greenhouses need to use light-transmitting covering materials as all or part of the enclosing structure materials to ensure the lighting effect.

[0003] The accumulation of dust on the greenhouse roof causes its light transmittance to decrease, affecting plant photosynthesis and growth. This has long been a major problem affecting greenhouse planting yields. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the greenhouse roof regularly to ensure its lighting effect. In the current existing technology, the cleaning machines used for greenhouse roofs are generally large in size, complex in structure, difficult to operate, and prone to malfunction, resulting in high usage costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a cleaning robot to solve the problems in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

A first driving portion 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The power output end of the first driving portion 22 is connected to the end of the roller brush 21. One end of the roller brush 21 is connected to the power output end of the first driving portion 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the mounting plate or connected to the power output end of another first driving portion 22.

[0056] The first driving part 22 and the roller brush 21 can be connected in such a way that the end of the roller brush 21 is sleeved on the outside of the power output end of the first driving part 22 and the two are fixed by screws, or the power output end of the first driving part 22 is limitedly plugged into the end of the roller brush 21;

[0057] The roller brush 21 can contact the surface of the roof. After the first driving part 22 works, it drives the roller brush 21 to rotate relative to the bracket 1. At the same time, the bracket 1 moves along the length direction of the roof, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the dust on the roof surface.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes:

[0059] The second driving part 31 is provided on both sides of the bracket 1;

[0060] The running wheel 32 is connected to the power output end of the second driving part 31. The running wheel 32 runs on the limiting part 4 of the roof. The limiting part 4 is extended along the length direction of the roof.

[0061] The end of the bracket 1 is connected to the second driving part 31 through the first support member, and is connected to the auxiliary wheel 33 through the second support member, which can be connected by bolts; the running wheel 32 and the auxiliary wheel 33 are both limited in the limiting part 4, and the limiting part 4 is used to limit the walking trajectory of the running wheel 32 and the auxiliary wheel 33;

[0062] When the second driving part 31 is working, it drives the walking wheel 32 to rotate, so that the bracket 1 can move on the limiting part 4. The auxiliary wheel 33 also moves on the limiting part 4 at the same time. The walking wheel 32 and the auxiliary wheel 33 support the bracket 1 and drive the bracket 1 to move along the length direction of the roof.

[0063] Furthermore, the limiting portion 4 is a limiting groove provided on the roof;

[0064] A limiting groove is provided in the longitudinal direction of the roof, and the first support member and the second support member are both extended vertically downward so that the walking wheel 32 and the auxiliary wheel 33 are both located in the limiting groove;

[0065] Or, as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting portion 4 is a guide rail arranged on the roof.

[0066] A support rod is provided on the roof. When the limiting portion 4 is a guide rail, it is connected and fixed to the support rod, and the driving assembly 3 is limitedly connected in the limiting portion 4.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 1 includes two mutually connected frames, and the two frames are connected by a connecting member 5, and the connecting member 5 is correspondingly arranged above the roof ridge.

[0068] The connector 5 can be a connecting frame formed by splicing square tubes, the purpose of which is to connect the two frames and form a supporting effect. The connector 5 is arranged above the ridge, which is the highest position of the gable roof.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, it also includes: a water spray pipe 6 arranged on the bracket 1, the water outlet end of the water spray pipe 6 extends to the top of the cleaning component 2, and the water spray pipe 6 is connected to the water supply equipment through a connecting pipe.

[0070] When the bracket 1 is composed of two frames, the two frames are connected by a connecting piece 5. A water spray pipe 6 is provided above the cleaning assembly 2 near the connecting piece 5, so that water can flow from the high part of the roof to the low part during cleaning. As the bracket 1 moves on the roof and the cleaning assembly 2 cleans, the roof surface is flushed.

[0071] The water spray pipe 6 is supported by the bracket 1 and extends to the top of the cleaning component 2, specifically to the top of the roller brush 21. The water outlet end of the water spray pipe 6 avoids the connection position between the roller brush 21 and the first drive unit 22; the connecting pipe connected to the water spray pipe 6 can be a hose or a telescopic pipe, etc. The connecting pipe is used to connect the water spray pipe 6 to the water supply equipment, and the water supply equipment can be any equipment that can provide water, such as a water pump and a water supply pipe.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 1 is further provided with a wiper 7 , which is arranged along the length direction of the bracket 1 .

[0073] A wiper 7 can also be provided on the bracket 1, and the bottom of the wiper 7 contacts the top surface of the roof. When the water pipe 6 sprays water to flush the roof, the water on the roof surface can be scraped off by the wiper 7 to ensure the cleaning effect of the roof.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a solar panel 8 is further provided on the top surface of the bracket 1 , and the solar panel 8 is electrically connected to the battery.

[0075] The solar panel 8 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store the electrical energy in the battery, thereby charging the battery; a mounting groove can be provided on the connector 5 for mounting the battery.

[0076] In one embodiment, a charging portion is provided on one side of the roof, and a charging port corresponding to the charging portion is provided on one side of the bracket 1 .

[0077] When the bracket 1 consists of two frames, the two frames are connected by a connector 5. An installation slot can be set on the connector 5 for installing a battery, and a charging port for charging the battery is set on one side of the connector 5. A charging part is set on one side of the roof. When the battery is low or the cleaning robot is not working, the cleaning robot moves to the charging part and connects the charging port with the charging part to realize charging. Its principle is similar to that of the AGV robot in the prior art (AGV full name: Automated Guided Vehicle), which can realize automatic charging.

[0078] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 1 is provided with at least two adjustment frames 9 arranged perpendicularly thereto, and the adjustment frames 9 are arranged with multiple adjustment holes 91 in the length direction thereof; through holes 23 are respectively provided at both ends of the cleaning component 2, and one through hole 23 is connected to one of the multiple adjustment holes 91 through a fixing member 10.

[0079] When the bracket 1 is composed of two frames, the two frames are connected by a connector 5, and an adjustment frame 9 is provided at both ends of each frame;

[0080] In order to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 2 on the roof surface and improve the adaptability to the inclination angle of the roof surface, the cleaning component 2 is set to be angle-adjustable;

[0081] Specifically, the ends of the frame are extended downward to provide an adjustment frame 9, which is two adjustment plates arranged at intervals, and the adjustment hole 91 is provided on the adjustment plate. The end of the cleaning component 2 is located between the two adjustment plates, and then the through hole 23 at the end is made to correspond to the adjustment hole 91, and then the fixing part 10 is passed through the two adjustment holes 91 and the through hole 23, so as to realize the adjustable inclination angle of the cleaning component 2; when both ends of the roller brush 21 are connected to the first drive part 22, a through hole 23 is provided on the fixed end (non-power output end) of the first drive part 22, and when the first drive part 22 is provided at one end of the roller brush 21, a through hole 23 is provided on the other end of the roller brush 21.

[0082] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, a fan 11 is provided on the bracket 1 .

[0083] Each frame is provided with at least one fan 11, which is arranged on the frame at an angle downward so that its air outlet faces the gutter. The fan 11 is used to blow the snow on the roof to the gutter to prevent excessive snow from covering the roof and affecting the lighting.

[0084] The fan 11 is electrically connected to the battery on the bracket 1 through a wire, and the wire connected to the fan 11 can be routed inside the bracket 1.

[0085] Among them, the gutter is a structure on the roof, which is mainly used to collect and guide the water on the roof, such as clean water, rainwater and water after melting snow. The gutter is usually set at the edge of the roof or in an area with a larger slope. The water in the gutter is discharged through the drain pipe, which can effectively drain the water.

[0086] A fan 11 can be selectively provided on each frame of the bracket 1 as needed. For example, in areas where it does not snow in winter or where the probability of snowing is very low, the fan 11 may not be provided. When it snows, the snow on the roof can be scraped off in time using the wiper 7 when the snow is not deep. In areas where it often snows in winter, a fan 11 is provided on the bracket 1 to effectively clear the accumulated snow.
