[0043] The basic principle of this embodiment is as follows: the cleanliness of the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300 can be detected by the detection system 110. When there is a lot of dust and the like accumulated on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300, the control system 900 receives the video image signal collected by the detection system 110 for analysis, starts the fresh water collection and water supply mechanism 400, and supplies high-pressure water to the conversion cleaning mechanism 600.

After the above-mentioned support frame 200 is fixed on the foundation 100, the photovoltaic panels 300 are installed in rows, wherein the upper and lower ends of the photovoltaic panels 300 are aligned and installed to facilitate unified cleaning.

The high-pressure centrifugal pump 450 driven by the driving motor 440 can pressurize the fresh water in the collection box 410 and transport it to the conversion cleaning mechanism 600 for spraying to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0047] Reference Figure 3In this embodiment, the mobile loading mechanism 500 includes a driving sprocket 510 arranged on one side of the upper end of the support frame 200 and a driven sprocket 520 on the other side. The driving sprocket 510 is driven and connected to the servo motor 530 arranged on the support frame 200. A crawler 540 is provided for rotation between the driving sprocket 510 and the driven sprocket 520, and the conversion cleaning mechanism 600 is fixedly arranged on the crawler 540; the servo motor 530 can drive the driving sprocket 510 to rotate, thereby driving the crawler 540 to move, and the crawler 540 can drive the conversion cleaning mechanism 600 to move, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the next photovoltaic panel 300, and also facilitate the scrubbing mechanism 800 to move through the linkage mechanism 700 to scrub the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300. When cleaning the current photovoltaic panel 300, the next photovoltaic panel 300 can be pre-wetted and cleaned.

[0048] Reference Figure 4-Figure 7 In this embodiment, the conversion cleaning mechanism 600 includes a mounting frame 610 arranged on the crawler 540, and a water outlet pipe 630 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 610 through a rotating shaft 620. The rotating shaft 620 has a built-in rotating motor. The water outlet pipe 630 is connected to the soft water pipe 460 through a conversion component. At least three flow cavities 640 are provided inside the water outlet pipe 630, and each flow cavity 640 is connected to a plurality of nozzles 650, forming three rows of nozzle arrays 650 with different angles.

[0049] The rotating shaft 620 is equipped with a rotating motor, which can drive the rotating shaft 620 to rotate relative to the mounting frame 610, thereby causing the water outlet pipe 630 to rotate relatively, and selecting nozzles 650 at different angles to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300. Each row of nozzles 650 is connected to a different flow cavity 640, and different flow cavities 640 can be selected to be connected to the soft water pipe 460 through the conversion component.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the conversion assembly includes three conducting holes 660 provided on the outlet pipe 630, one conducting hole 660 is provided on each flow cavity 640, and also includes a joint pipe 670 provided on the mounting frame 610, one end of the joint pipe 670 is connected to the soft water pipe 460, and the other end of the joint pipe 670 is provided with a conducting cover 680, and the conducting cover 680 is rotatably sealed and connected to the conducting hole 660 of the outlet pipe 630.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, three types of nozzles 650 are located on the outlet pipe 630, which has a flow chamber 640 divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. They are fastened to the outlet pipe 630 via threaded connections. The three nozzles 650 are each a 0° cylindrical high-pressure nozzle with a vertical cylindrical nozzle that sprays a high-pressure water stream in a vertical direction. By adjusting the diameter and spray angle of the nozzle 650, the size and coverage of the water stream can be controlled. The concentrated high-pressure water stream from this nozzle can remove difficult-to-clean contaminants such as bird droppings and algae from the photovoltaic panels 300. Another nozzle 650 is a 15° fan-shaped high-pressure nozzle, which sprays a 15° fan-shaped high-pressure water stream in a vertical direction. This fan-shaped water stream disperses the water pressure at distant locations, but can cover a larger area. This high-pressure nozzle is suitable for contaminants consisting of a 50% mix of dust and bird droppings. Its water pressure is 2.5-3.5 MPa, and its flow rate is 8-12 L / min. When the contaminants are easily cleaned, such as dust, the third nozzle type 650 is used. This is a high-pressure nozzle with a 40° fan-shaped water outlet. Two nozzles can cover the entire surface of the photovoltaic panel 300, but the output pressure is low, ranging from 1.5 to 2 MPa and a flow rate of 5 to 8 L / min. By analyzing and processing the surface image of the photovoltaic panel 300, the appropriate high-pressure nozzle, output pressure, and flow rate are intelligently selected based on the type and location of the contaminant, reducing water consumption and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0052] When the water outlet pipe 630 rotates, one of the conducting holes 660 is always kept in communication with the joint pipe 670 , so that different flow cavities 640 and nozzles 650 with different angles can be selected.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 In this embodiment, the water outlet pipes 630 on both sides of the conducting hole 660 are provided with limit plates 631, and the limit plates 631 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 632. The conducting cover 680 is provided with fixed plates 681 corresponding to the limit plates 631, and the fixed plates 681 are provided with guide rods 682. The guide rods 682 are slidably set in the arc-shaped grooves 632. Through the cooperation between the guide rods 682 and the arc-shaped grooves 632, the conducting cover 680 can always be slidably and sealedly connected to the water outlet pipe 630.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the scrubbing mechanism 800 includes a scrubbing rod 810 rotatably connected to both sides of the photovoltaic panel 300 through a torsion shaft, and a scrubbing brush in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300 is provided at the lower part of the scrubbing rod 810.

[0056] During the cleaning process, the track 540 can drive the mounting frame 610 to swing back and forth, so that the scrubbing rod 810 can be driven to swing on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300 through the linkage rod 710, thereby cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300. When the scrubbing rod 810 swings, the pull rope 720 can also drive the bottom scraper 830 to move along the photovoltaic panel 300, thereby scrubbing the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 300.

[0057] In this embodiment, the detection system 110 includes an installation column 111 set on the foundation platform 100, and a camera 112 is provided on the installation column 111. The camera 112 is communicatively connected to the control system 900. The control system 900 is also electrically connected to the drive motor 440, the servo motor 530 and the rotating motor.

[0058] The camera 112 can monitor the amount of dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300 in real time. After comparison by the control system 900, when the preset value is reached, the control system 900 controls the driving motor 440, the servo motor 530 and the rotating motor to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 300, thereby realizing automated cleaning and eliminating the manual cleaning process. Specifically, the camera 112 is located above the photovoltaic panel 300 to capture the surface image of the photovoltaic panel 300, and uploads it to the control system 900 through the 5G network for analysis and decision-making, and intelligently matches the required high-pressure nozzle 650, output pressure and output flow according to the contamination condition.
