Image capture by the image acquisition device 11 ensures image clarity, thereby accurately capturing the status of the photovoltaic modules.

[0032] In one embodiment, the upper walking device 30 includes a first shell 31 and a first drive motor 32 and a first gear assembly 33 arranged in the first shell 31.

The two first pressure wheels 35 are positioned on the same horizontal line to further enhance the smooth operation of the drive system 3. A parallel axis gear 334 is coaxially disposed on the outer periphery of the first bevel gear 332, which meshes and transmits power to the chain 338.

[0037] Specifically, the traction device 16 includes a handle 160 arranged on the two end surfaces and a hook-type pulley assembly 161 arranged on the corresponding handle 160, the hook-type pulley assembly 161 includes a hook 162, a bracket 163 and a pulley 164 arranged in the bracket 163, the hook 162 of the hook-type pulley assembly 161 is hooked on the handle 160, and the handle 160 is provided with an anti-slip part to prevent the hook from sliding.

[0038] Both the first traction mechanism 41 and the second traction mechanism 42 include an assembly plate 410, a traction seat 411 mounted on the assembly plate 410, and a fixed pulley 415. The difference between the first traction mechanism and the second traction mechanism 42 is that the first traction mechanism also includes a worm gear motor 43 mounted below the assembly plate to drive the first traction mechanism 41. The following describes the structure of the first traction mechanism 41 in detail, using the first traction mechanism 41 as an example. The assembly plate 410 is assembled to the bottom of the first and second walking beams 21 and 22 near the ends to facilitate pulling the fuselage 10 to the frame of the photovoltaic power station, thereby ensuring that the inspection system 1 can comprehensively capture images of all components of the photovoltaic power station.

It rotates in the direction of rotation; it then passes around the fixed pulley of the second traction mechanism 42 and then passes around the pulley 164 of the traction device 16 on the second end surface, and then is fixed by the traction ring 414 of the second traction mechanism 42; the worm gear motor is connected to the fixed pulley 415 axis of the first traction mechanism 41, and in a preset detection unit, the worm gear motor rotates to drive the detection system to travel at most one fuselage length to ensure that all photovoltaic modules are photographed and detected, so that the detection system can reciprocate along the support system under the traction of the traction member.

[0039] To enhance the safety of the crack detection device, both the upper traveling device 30 and the lower traveling device 36 are equipped with at least one set of sensor assemblies 5 for position detection. In a preferred embodiment, the upper traveling device 30 is equipped with sensor assemblies 5 for both forward and reverse travel; and the lower traveling device 36 is equipped with sensor assemblies 5 for both forward and reverse travel. The sensor assemblies 5 on the upper traveling device 30 and the lower traveling device 36 have the same structure. The following description uses one set of sensor assemblies 5 on the upper traveling device 30 as an example.

[0040] The sensor assembly 5 includes a highly sensitive sensor device 51 and a position sensor 52, and the sensor assembly 5 is connected to the central controller 13 by signal. The highly sensitive sensor device 51 includes a detection wheel 510 that moves along the border of the photovoltaic power station and a limit switch 511 that is rotatably connected to the detection wheel. The limit switch 511 is arranged in the first shell 31 and / or the second shell 37. The position sensor 52 is an ultrasonic sensor. The detection wheel 510 is arranged on a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is slidably connected to the switch. When the boundary of the detection wheel 510 exceeds the border of the photovoltaic power station, the travel wheel tilts downward under the action of gravity, triggering the feedback signal of the limit switch 511. After receiving the feedback signal of the limit switch 511, the central controller 13 transmits the signal to the ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor performs algorithm recognition and issues a real-time command to the central controller 13. The central controller 13 executes the corresponding command, and the upper travel device 30 and the lower travel device 36 stop moving forward.

[0041] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application.

Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
