Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning technology in solar panel production, specifically to a cleaning device and its control method for solar panel production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of solar panels, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology is becoming increasingly common in pursuit of higher cell conversion efficiency. However, during the tubular PCVD process, silicon wafers are often in an environment with a high concentration of microparticles. If these microparticles are not effectively removed from the wafer surface before the subsequent screen printing process, it will cause a series of negative impacts, such as poor printing, screen breakage, and microcracks in the cells, leading to a decrease in production yield and an increase in manufacturing costs.

[0003] A related technology includes a cleaning device for solar panel production, comprising a blowing assembly and a placement platform. The placement platform holds the solar panels, and the blowing assembly is movably positioned above the placement platform. The blowing assembly includes a cleaning brush and a blower nozzle. The cleaning brush rotates to clean the surface of the solar panels and their crevices, while the blower nozzle blows air during the cleaning process to remove dust particles.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art: Due to the difference in the thickness of the solar panels, the required blowing height for cleaning the components varies. Manually adjusting the blowing height is cumbersome, inefficient, and inaccurate. Furthermore, the dust particles blown off can fall back onto the surface of the solar panels, causing secondary pollution.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0025] The term "correspondence" can refer to an association or binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0026] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, a cleaning device for solar panel production includes: a base 300, a cleaning cover 400, a cleaning brush 500, and an exhaust hood 600. The base 300 is used to place the solar panels to be cleaned; the cleaning cover 400 is movably positioned above the base 300 and can be raised and lowered vertically, with the lifting height adjusted according to the thickness of the solar panels to be cleaned; the cleaning brush 500 is movably disposed within the cleaning cover 400 and can be raised and lowered with the cleaning cover 400; the exhaust hood 600 is embedded within the cleaning cover 400, and the exhaust nozzle 610 of the exhaust hood 600 extends along the upper side wall of the cleaning cover 400.

[0027] The cleaning apparatus for solar panel production provided in this embodiment places the solar panel on a base 300. A liftable cleaning hood 400 covers the base 300, forming a closed cleaning space. The cleaning brush 500 moves up and down with the cleaning hood 400, thereby adjusting the cleaning height of the cleaning brush 500. A ventilation hood 600 extracts dust particles generated during cleaning to the outside of the cleaning hood 400, preventing the cleaned dust particles from falling back onto the surface of the solar panel and causing contamination. The lifting height of the cleaning hood 400 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the solar panel to clean it, thereby efficiently adjusting the cleaning height of the cleaning brush 500 and improving the adjustment accuracy of the cleaning height of the cleaning brush 500.

[0028] Optionally, the base 300 is provided with a through groove 310 corresponding to the lower edge of the cleaning cover 400, allowing the cleaning cover 400 to pass through the through groove 310 and through the base 300 when it descends. This through groove 310 on the base 300 allows the cleaning cover 400 to descend through it, increasing the descent range of the cleaning cover 400 and better adapting to the adjustment of the cleaning height for solar panels of different thicknesses.

[0029] Optionally, a support arm is provided on the rear side of the base 300, and the cleaning cover 400 is connected to the support arm via a lifting mechanism. In this way, by setting up the support arm and the lifting mechanism in cooperation to support and drive the lifting of the cleaning cover 400, the lifting of the cleaning cover 400 is more stable.

[0030] Understandably, the lifting mechanism is an electric telescopic rod or similar mechanism, which drives the cleaning hood 400. This will not be elaborated on here.

[0031] Optionally, the cleaning brush 500 is movably disposed within the exhaust hood 600, with the brush head protruding from the plane of the lower end of the exhaust hood 600. This movable placement of the cleaning brush 500 within the exhaust hood 600 allows the dust particles being cleaned to be directly extracted by the exhaust hood 600 to the outside of the cleaning hood 400 when cleaning the placed solar panels, improving cleaning efficiency and preventing dust particles from falling back onto the solar panel surface. The protruding brush head of the cleaning brush 500 ensures full contact with the solar panel surface, resulting in better cleaning.

[0032] Understandably, the cleaning brush 500 has a rotating brush head that cleans the surface of the battery panel below it as the brush head rotates. Dust particles on the surface of the battery panel are removed and easily sucked up by the exhaust hood 600 and discharged into the external environment with the airflow.

[0033] Optionally, a drive support structure is provided inside the exhaust hood 600, and the cleaning brush 500 is mounted on the drive support structure. In this way, the drive support mechanism provided inside the exhaust hood 600 supports and drives the cleaning brush 500, allowing the cleaning brush 500 to move along a set trajectory, thereby cleaning the surface of the battery panel.

[0034] Optionally, the drive support structure includes: a support beam 620, a drive beam 630, and a drive seat 640. Two support beams 620 are provided, both positioned inside the exhaust hood 600. Each support beam 620 has its two ends connected to the opposite inner walls of the exhaust hood 600. Each support beam 620 has a guide rail. The drive beam 630 is perpendicular to the support beams 620, and each drive beam 630 has a drive wheel at both ends. Each drive wheel is embedded in the guide rail on the corresponding support beam 620. The upper side wall of the drive beam 630 has a rack. The drive seat 640 is fitted onto the drive beam 630, and the output end of the drive motor on the drive seat 640 meshes with the rack. The cleaning brush 500 is fixedly connected to the drive seat 640. In this way, by setting the support beam 620 to provide support, the drive beam 630 can move in a direction perpendicular to the support beam 620 with the cooperation of the drive wheel and the guide rail. The drive seat 640 can move along the drive beam 630 under the action of the drive motor, so that the cleaning brush 500 can move in all directions inside the exhaust hood 600, thereby cleaning the surface of the battery panel in all directions.

[0035] Optionally, the cleaning device for solar panel production further includes an air inlet duct 700. The air inlet duct 700 passes through the side wall of the cleaning hood 400, with its inlet end located outside the cleaning hood 400 and its outlet end located inside the cleaning hood 400. This creates a negative pressure inside the cleaning hood 400 under the action of the exhaust hood 600. Under this negative pressure, external airflow is introduced through the air inlet duct 700 and blown towards the solar panels, blowing up dust particles from the surface of the solar panels and improving the cleaning effect.

[0036] Optionally, two air inlet pipes 700 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both side walls of the cleaning hood 400 with respect to the center of the cleaning hood 400. The air inlet end of each air inlet pipe 700 is located on the outside of the cleaning hood 400, and the air outlet end of each air inlet pipe 700 is located inside the cleaning hood 400. In this way, by setting the two air inlet pipes 700 opposite each other, under the negative pressure inside the cleaning hood 400, the external airflow is blown towards the solar panel located at the center along the two air inlet pipes 700, which can improve the cleaning effect of the solar panel.

[0037] Optionally, a blower nozzle 710 is provided at the air outlet of the air inlet duct 700. The blower nozzle 710 is movably connected to the air inlet duct 700 and can change the blowing direction of the blower nozzle 710. In this way, the airflow introduced by the air inlet duct 700 is blown out through the blower nozzle 710. The blower nozzle 710 can move relative to the air inlet duct 700, changing the blowing angle of the blower nozzle 710. This allows the airflow blown out by the blower nozzle 710 to change its blowing angle as the cleaning brush 500 moves, ensuring that the airflow is always directed towards the area where the cleaning brush 500 is located, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0038] For example, the blower nozzle 710 is rotatably connected to the air outlet of the air inlet pipe 700 through a rotatable connection structure. The blower nozzle 710 is driven to rotate by a motor or other mechanism so that the airflow blown out by the blower nozzle 710 is always directed toward the position of the cleaning brush 500. Even if the cleaning brush 500 moves, the blower airflow can continue to blow toward the area where the cleaning brush 500 is located.

[0039] Optionally, the air inlet duct 700 is equipped with a humidification module 720 to humidify the incoming airflow. By humidifying the incoming airflow with the humidification module 720 inside the air inlet duct 700, a small amount of atomized water droplets are introduced into the airflow. These atomized water droplets, carried by the airflow, are blown towards the solar panel, eliminating static electricity between dust particles and the solar panel, and also adhering to fine particles, thus improving cleaning efficiency. The atomized water droplets are quickly dried and separated after contacting the solar panel surface with the high-pressure airflow, improving cleaning effectiveness and reducing the risk of corrosion of the solar panel by the atomized water droplets.

[0040] Optionally, a water supply box is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning hood 400, and the water outlet pipe of the water supply box extends into the air inlet pipe 700 and communicates with the humidification module 720. In this way, water is supplied to the humidification module 720 through the water supply box, and the water supply box is located on the outside of the cleaning hood 400 for easy water replenishment.

[0041] For example, the humidification module 720 is a humidification structure such as an atomizing humidifier, which can form fine water droplets that are blown in with the airflow, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Optionally, the exhaust nozzle 610 of the exhaust hood 600 is equipped with a dehumidifier. By providing a dehumidifier inside the exhaust nozzle 610, the airflow discharged from the exhaust nozzle 610 can be dehumidified, reducing the humidity of the airflow discharged to the outside of the cleaning hood 400. Since the cleaning of the solar panels takes place inside a workshop, which contains a large number of solar panels awaiting cleaning, the high humidity in the workshop can cause the panels to corrode and decay. Therefore, the dehumidifier reduces the humidity of the airflow discharged into the workshop.

[0043] Optionally, the dehumidifier is movable, capable of either blocking the flow surface of the air outlet 610 or opening the flow surface of the air outlet 610. This allows the dehumidifier to move to the position where the flow surface of the air outlet 610 is open when dehumidification is not required, reducing air resistance.

[0044] Optionally, the dehumidification section is a water-absorbing filter. In this way, since the airflow emitted from the air outlet 610 not only has high humidity, but also a large number of dust particles are adhered to the atomized water droplets in the airflow, the water-absorbing filter can not only adsorb the atomized water droplets in the airflow to reduce humidity, but also adsorb the dust particles, thereby reducing the dust content of the discharged airflow and improving the workshop environment.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a control method for a cleaning apparatus for solar panel production, applied to the cleaning apparatus for solar panel production in any of the above embodiments, includes: S01, The processor obtains the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned; S02, the processor determines the cleaning height based on the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned; S03, the processor determines the target lifting height of the cleaning hood based on the cleaning height; S04, after the processor controls the cleaning cover to rise to the set height, it controls the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height again.

[0046] The control method for the cleaning device for solar panel production provided in this disclosure can determine the cleaning height based on the thickness of the solar panel, thereby determining the target lifting height of the cleaning hood based on the cleaning height, and controlling the lifting of the cleaning hood to the target lifting height to clean the solar panel, thereby efficiently adjusting the cleaning height of the cleaning brush and improving the adjustment accuracy of the cleaning height of the cleaning brush.

[0047] Optionally, after the processor controls the cleaning cover to rise to a set height, it then controls the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height again. This includes: after the processor controls the cleaning cover to rise to the set height for a set duration, it then controls the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height again. In this way, after determining the target lifting height of the cleaning cover, since the battery panel to be cleaned needs to be placed inside, the processor first controls the cleaning cover to rise to the set height for a set duration to allow the user time to place the battery panel, and then controls the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height.

[0048] Optionally, the duration can be set to 30 seconds. This gives the user enough time to place the battery panel to be cleaned.

[0049] Optionally, the processor obtains the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned, including: the processor obtaining the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned input by the user. This allows the user to input the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned via a device such as a button or touchscreen, and the processor directly obtains the user-input thickness, improving the accuracy of the obtained thickness. Optionally, the processor acquires image information of the solar panel to be cleaned and parses this image information to determine the panel's thickness. In this way, the processor determines the panel thickness by acquiring and parsing the image information, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0050] For example, a scanning device such as a camera is installed on the base to obtain image information by scanning the solar panel to be cleaned placed on the base, and the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned is obtained by parsing the image information.

[0051] Optionally, the processor determines the cleaning height based on the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned, including: the processor determining the corresponding cleaning height based on the correspondence between the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned and the cleaning height. In this way, the correspondence between the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned and the cleaning height is pre-stored in the processor's database, and the processor determines the corresponding cleaning height based on this correspondence, resulting in high efficiency and high accuracy.

[0052] Optionally, the processor determines the target lifting height of the cleaning hood based on the cleaning height, including: the processor determining the corresponding target lifting height based on the correspondence between the cleaning height and the target lifting height. In this way, the correspondence between the cleaning height and the target lifting height is pre-stored in the processor's database, and the processor determines the corresponding target lifting height based on the correspondence, resulting in high efficiency and high accuracy.

[0053] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the control method for the cleaning apparatus for solar panel production, applied to the cleaning apparatus for solar panel production in any of the above embodiments, includes: S01, The processor obtains the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned; S02, the processor determines the cleaning height based on the thickness of the solar panel to be cleaned; S03, the processor determines the target lifting height of the cleaning hood based on the cleaning height; S04, after the processor controls the cleaning cover to rise to the set height, it controls the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height again; S05, the processor controls the rotation of the cleaning brush head and simultaneously controls the cleaning brush to move along a set motion trajectory inside the cleaning cover.

[0054] The control method of the cleaning device for solar panel production provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure involves the processor controlling the cleaning cover to descend to the target lifting height, then controlling the brush head of the cleaning brush to rotate, and simultaneously controlling the cleaning brush to move along a set motion trajectory inside the cleaning cover to gradually clean the placed solar panels to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0055] For example, the preset motion trajectory of the cleaning brush is pre-stored in the processor's database. The processor controls the cleaning brush to move along the pre-stored preset motion trajectory, which can clean the upper surface of the battery panel in all directions.

[0056] Optionally, before the processor controls the rotation of the cleaning brush head and simultaneously controls the cleaning brush to move along a set motion trajectory inside the cleaning cover, the process further includes: the processor acquiring the upper surface area of ​​the solar panel and determining the corresponding target set motion trajectory based on the upper surface area of ​​the solar panel. Thus, since different solar panels have different upper surface areas, resulting in different motion trajectories for the cleaning brush when cleaning the solar panel, the processor first acquires the upper surface area of ​​the solar panel, determines the corresponding target set motion trajectory based on the upper surface area, and then controls the cleaning brush to move along the determined target set motion trajectory, thereby performing a more comprehensive cleaning of the solar panel and reducing the amount of time the cleaning brush travels without moving.

[0057] Understandably, the database contains multiple preset motion trajectories for the cleaning brush, each corresponding to a surface area of ​​the solar panel. Once the processor obtains the surface area of ​​the solar panel, it can determine the corresponding target preset motion trajectory based on the correspondence.

[0058] For example, the processor can obtain the upper surface area of ​​the solar panel through user input, camera scanning, or other means, which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] Optionally, the control method for the cleaning device used in solar panel production further includes: the processor controlling the air inlet nozzle of the air inlet pipe to rotate with the movement of the cleaning brush, so that the air outlet direction of the air inlet nozzle is always directed towards the cleaning brush. In this way, the airflow blown out by the air inlet nozzle is always directed towards the area where the cleaning brush is located, improving the cleaning effect.

[0060] For example, there is a correspondence between the position of the cleaning brush and the rotation angle of the blower nozzle. These correspondences are pre-stored in a database. The processor controls the change of the rotation angle of the blower nozzle according to the position of the cleaning brush. This will not be elaborated on here.

[0061] Optionally, after the processor controls the brush head of the cleaning brush to rotate and synchronously controls the cleaning brush to move along a set trajectory inside the cleaning cover, the processor also controls the exhaust hood to start and extract air from inside the cleaning cover. In this way, after controlling the cleaning brush to move along the set trajectory, the processor controls the exhaust hood to open and extract the dust particles generated by the cleaning brush, discharging the dust particles outside the cleaning cover and preventing them from falling back onto the surface of the solar panel and causing contamination.

[0062] Optionally, the control method for the cleaning device used in solar panel production further includes: a processor acquiring the humidity of the incoming airflow in the air inlet duct; and the processor controlling the humidification module to turn on when the humidity of the incoming airflow is less than or equal to a first set humidity. In this way, by installing a humidification module inside the air inlet duct to humidify the incoming airflow, the airflow contains a small amount of atomized water droplets. These atomized water droplets, blown towards the solar panel by the airflow, can eliminate static electricity between dust particles and the solar panel, and can also adhere to fine particles, improving cleaning ability. Therefore, the processor acquires the humidity of the incoming airflow, and when the humidity is less than or equal to the first set humidity, controls the humidification module to turn on to humidify the incoming airflow, so that the incoming airflow contains a small amount of atomized water droplets.

[0063] Optionally, after the processor controls the humidification module to turn on when the humidity of the intake airflow is less than or equal to a first set humidity, the processor further includes controlling the humidification module to turn off when the humidity of the intake airflow is greater than a second set humidity, wherein the second set humidity is greater than the first set humidity. This is because when the humidity of the intake airflow is relatively high, it can corrode the solar panel; therefore, the processor controls the humidification module to turn off when the humidity of the intake airflow is greater than the second set humidity.

[0064] Optionally, the first humidity setting is 30% RH, and the second humidity setting is 50% RH. This way, when the humidity of the incoming airflow is less than or equal to 30% RH, the incoming airflow is relatively dry, and humidifying it introduces a small amount of atomized water droplets, improving the cleaning effect. When the humidity of the incoming airflow is greater than 50% RH, the content of atomized water droplets in the incoming airflow is relatively high, which could cause some corrosion to the solar panel; therefore, the humidification module is shut off.

[0065] Understandably, a humidity sensor is installed in the air intake duct to collect the humidity of the incoming airflow in real time and send it to the processor.

[0066] Combination Figure 6As shown, this disclosure provides a control device for a cleaning apparatus in solar panel production, including a processor 100 and a memory 101. Optionally, the device may further include a communication interface 102 and a bus 103. The processor 100, communication interface 102, and memory 101 can communicate with each other via the bus 103.
