Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides an array type photovoltaic device intelligent cleaning robot, please refer to Figures 1-5 , including a robot body 1, a walking mechanism 2 and a cleaning mechanism, the walking mechanism 2 is arranged at the bottom of the robot body 1, the walking mechanism 2 is used for driving the device to move on the surface of the array type photovoltaic panel, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning execution assembly 3 and an adjusting mechanism 4; The adjusting mechanism 4 is used for connecting the robot body 1 and the cleaning execution assembly 3, the adjusting mechanism 4 can dynamically adjust the fitting state of the cleaning execution assembly 3 and the surface of the photovoltaic panel according to the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. The cleaning execution assembly 3 is used for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and can clean stubborn substances; The cleaning execution assembly 3 comprises a main cleaning roller brush 5, an auxiliary cleaning scraper 6, and a cleaning frame 7, the cleaning frame 7 is arranged as an installation carrier of the main cleaning roller brush 5 and the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6, the top of the cleaning frame 7 is hingedly connected with the end of the telescopic rod 41, and a spraying nozzle 8 is arranged in the cleaning frame 7 and located behind the main cleaning roller brush 5. The main cleaning roller brush 5 is arranged in a hollow cylindrical structure, is rotatably arranged in the cleaning frame 7, and the side of the cleaning frame 7 is fixedly arranged with a first driving motor 9 for driving the main cleaning roller brush 5. The auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 is arranged on the cleaning frame 7 through a scraper support 10, the scraper support 10 is located behind the main cleaning roller brush 5, and the scraper support 10 can adjust the angle of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6.

[0033] It should be noted that the outer wall of the main cleaning roller brush 5 is spirally arranged with flexible bristles in the axial direction, the bristles are made of nylon, and the bristles are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the main cleaning roller brush 5. The spraying nozzle 8 is provided with cleaning liquid through an external liquid supply pipe.

[0034] According to the above scheme, when the surface of the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the walking mechanism 2 drives the robot body 1 and the cleaning execution assembly 3 to move on the photovoltaic panel, the first driving motor 9 works to drive the main cleaning roller brush 5 to rotate, and the spraying nozzle 8 cooperates with the main cleaning roller brush 5 to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and in the moving process, the cleaning scraper can scrape and wash the surface of the photovoltaic panel, so as to reduce the dust mixed in the cleaning liquid from adhering to the surface of the photovoltaic panel again, and the cleaning effect can be effectively improved.

[0035] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjusting mechanism 4 comprises a telescopic rod 41 and a pre-tightening spring 42, one end of the telescopic rod 41 is arranged on the robot body 1, the other end of the telescopic rod 41 is hingedly connected with the cleaning execution assembly 3, the pre-tightening spring 42 is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 41, and the two ends of the pre-tightening spring 42 abut against the two ends of the telescopic rod 41 respectively.

[0036] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the telescopic rod 41 comprises a movable rod and a fixed tube, the movable rod is hingedly connected with the cleaning frame 7, the fixed tube is fixedly connected with the robot body 1, the movable rod is slidably arranged in the fixed tube, and the pre-tightening spring 42 is sleeved on the movable rod and the fixed tube.

[0037] With the above scheme, in the cleaning process, if the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel surface changes, the cleaning execution assembly 3 can be adjusted in angle through the pushing force of the pre-tightening spring 42 and the hinged installation of the telescopic rod 41. Through the use of the adjusting mechanism 4, the cleaning execution assembly 3 can dynamically adjust the fitting state of the cleaning execution assembly 3 and the photovoltaic panel surface according to the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel. Good cleaning effect can be ensured on photovoltaic panels with different inclination angles, and the problem of reduced cleaning quality caused by the inclination of the photovoltaic panel is avoided.

[0038] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the adjusting mechanism 4 further comprises a limiting column 11, the top end of the limiting column 11 is arranged on the side of the robot body 1, the bottom end of the limiting column 11 is located above the cleaning execution assembly 3, and a limiting block 12 horizontally arranged is fixed at the bottom end of the limiting column 11, and an elastic buffer pad is attached to the surface of the limiting block 12.

[0039] It should be noted that when the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel exceeds the preset threshold, the cleaning execution assembly 3 tilts and moves with the change in inclination angle until the top of the cleaning frame 7 contacts the elastic buffer pad of the limiting block 12. The maximum extension of the telescopic rod 41 is limited by the rigid blocking, and at the same time the elastic buffer pad is used to absorb the contact impact, thereby preventing the cleaning execution assembly 3 from being separated from the surface of the photovoltaic panel or causing rigid collision damage due to excessive inclination.

[0040] For example, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the scraper support 10 comprises a connecting rod 101 and a mounting plate 102, the top end of the connecting rod 101 is hinged to the cleaning frame 7, the bottom end of the connecting rod 101 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 102, and the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 is detachably mounted to the bottom of the mounting plate 102, a tension spring 103 is arranged at the hinge between the connecting rod 101 and the cleaning frame 7, one end of the tension spring 103 is fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 7, and the other end of the tension spring 103 abuts against the connecting rod 101, the tension spring 103 is used to apply a pre-tightening force to the connecting rod 101 to drive the scraping edge of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 to tightly abut against the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the scraping surface of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 is provided with an elastic gasket 13.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic gasket 13 is made of rubber material and can deform with the slight protrusions on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, so that the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 can still be fitted to the surface of the photovoltaic panel even when there are slight irregularities on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby avoiding the problem of missing dead angles; In order to prevent the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 from being pulled out of the scraping position by the tension spring 103, a limiting block is arranged in the cleaning frame 7, and the limiting block is located on the side of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 adjacent to the main cleaning roller brush 5, thereby preventing the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 from being flipped to the position of the main cleaning roller brush.

[0042] With the above scheme, through the double structure design of the tension spring 103 pre-tensioning the auxiliary cleaning blade 6 and the elastic gasket 13 elastic compensation, from the two dimensions of active pressure and passive adaptation, it is ensured that the scraping edge is always in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The tension spring 103 provides continuous tension to prevent the auxiliary cleaning blade 6 from being raised due to the inclination and vibration of the cleaning execution assembly 3. The elastic gasket 13 adapts to the slight unevenness of the photovoltaic panel surface to avoid the generation of local gaps, which can effectively guarantee the scraping effect of the auxiliary cleaning blade 6.

[0043] For example, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the dust collection assembly 14 is installed on the robot body 1 through the adjusting mechanism 4; The dust collection assembly 14 includes a housing 15, a secondary cleaning roller brush 16, a suction fan 17, and a first dust collection nozzle 18. The first dust collection nozzle 18 is in communication with the suction fan 17. The first dust collection nozzle 18 is in communication with the inside of the housing 15. The housing 15 is hingedly connected to the adjusting mechanism 4. The secondary cleaning roller brush 16 is rotatably installed in the housing 15.

A second dust collection nozzle 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the housing 15. The second dust collection nozzle 20 is in communication with the suction fan 17. The second dust collection nozzle 20 is used to suck and remove floating dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0044] The suction fan 17 is in communication with a collection piece 21 through a gas guide pipe. The collection piece 21 includes a collection box 22, an exhaust pipe 23, and a filter screen 24. The collection box 22 is arranged on the robot body 1. The filter screen 24 is detachably installed at the air outlet of the collection box 22. The exhaust pipe 23 is in communication with the collection box 22. One end of the exhaust pipe 23 is in communication with the main cleaning roller brush 5 through a rotary joint 26. The main cleaning roller brush 5 is internally provided with an airflow channel. A plurality of micro-holes 25 are formed on the surface of the main cleaning roller brush 5. The roller shaft of the main cleaning roller brush 5 is in communication with the dust collection assembly 14 through the rotary joint 26. When the roller brush rotates for cleaning, the micro-holes 25 can spray airflow to the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0045] It should be noted that the dust collection assembly 14 and the adjusting mechanism 4 used by the cleaning execution assembly 3 have the same structure. The top of the housing 15 is provided with the same limiting column 11 as the top of the cleaning frame 7.

[0046] With the above scheme, when the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the dust suction assembly 14 is placed in front of the walking mechanism 2 in the direction of travel, and the first dust suction nozzle 18 and the second dust suction nozzle 20 can generate suction force through the operation of the air extractor 17, so that the dust attached to the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be sucked and removed, and at the same time, the second driving motor 19 operates to drive the auxiliary cleaning brush 16 to rotate, so that the dust adhered to the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be dry brushed to make the dust fly up and be sucked by the first dust suction nozzle 18, and the dust that is easy to clean on the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be sucked and removed, and then the main cleaning brush 5 cooperates with the spray nozzle 8 to wet brush the surface of the photovoltaic panel, so that the stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be cleaned, the dust mixed in the cleaning liquid can be reduced, and the cleaning workload can be effectively reduced. And after the dust enters the collection box 22, the air is introduced into the main cleaning brush 5 through the exhaust pipe 23, and is sprayed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel through the micro-holes 25 on the surface of the main cleaning brush 5, forming a combination of washing and air spraying, which can further loosen the stubborn stains, and the air flow sprayed can effectively reduce the stains adhered to the main cleaning brush 5, and can effectively ensure the cleaning effect of the main cleaning brush 5.

[0047] The working principle of the array type photovoltaic device intelligent cleaning robot provided in the embodiment of the application is as follows: When the surface of the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the walking mechanism 2 drives the robot body 1 and the cleaning execution assembly 3 to move on the photovoltaic panel, the first driving motor 9 operates to drive the main cleaning brush 5 to rotate, and cooperates with the spray nozzle 8 to clean the stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and in the moving process, the cleaning scraper can scrape and clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel, so that the dust mixed in the cleaning liquid is prevented from adhering to the surface of the photovoltaic panel again, and the cleaning effect can be effectively improved. In the cleaning process, if the inclination angle of the surface of the photovoltaic panel changes, the cleaning execution assembly 3 can be adjusted in angle through the pushing force of the pre-tightening spring 42 and the hinged installation of the telescopic rod 41, and through the use of the adjusting mechanism 4, the cleaning execution assembly 3 can dynamically adjust the adhesion state of the cleaning execution assembly 3 to the surface of the photovoltaic panel according to the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, so that good cleaning effect can be ensured on photovoltaic panels with different inclination angles, and the problem of reduced cleaning quality caused by the inclination of the photovoltaic panel is avoided. The double-structure design of the pre-tightening tension of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 by the tension spring 103 and the elastic compensation of the elastic gasket 13 ensures that the scraping edge is always in adhesion with the surface of the photovoltaic panel from two dimensions of active pressure and passive adaptation, the tension spring 103 provides continuous tension to prevent the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 from being raised due to the inclination and vibration of the cleaning execution assembly 3, and the elastic gasket 13 adapts to the slight unevenness of the surface of the photovoltaic panel to avoid the generation of local gaps, so that the scraping effect of the auxiliary cleaning scraper 6 can be effectively ensured. When the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the dust suction assembly 14 is placed in front of the walking mechanism 2 in the direction of travel, and the first dust suction nozzle 18 and the second dust suction nozzle 20 can generate suction force by the operation of the air suction machine 17, so that the dust adhered to the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be sucked and removed. At the same time, the second driving motor 19 is operated to drive the auxiliary cleaning brush 16 to rotate, so that the dust adhered to the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be dry brushed to make the dust fly up and be sucked by the first dust suction nozzle 18. The dust that is easy to clean on the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be sucked and removed, and then the main cleaning brush 5 and the spray nozzle 8 are combined to wet brush the surface of the photovoltaic panel, so that the stubborn stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be cleaned, the dust mixed in the cleaning liquid can be reduced, and the cleaning workload can be effectively reduced. After the dust enters the collection box 22, the air is introduced into the main cleaning brush 5 by the exhaust pipe 23, and is sprayed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel by the micropores 25 on the surface of the main cleaning brush 5, so that the washing and brushing are combined with the air spraying, the stubborn stains can be further loosened, the sprayed air flow can effectively reduce the stains adhered to the main cleaning brush 5, and the cleaning effect of the main cleaning brush 5 can be effectively guaranteed.
