Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass curtain wall system technology, and more particularly to a glass curtain wall system equipped with a drone cleaning track. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern building technology, the cleaning and maintenance of glass curtain walls in high-rise and super high-rise buildings has become increasingly prominent. Traditional manual cleaning methods are not only inefficient and costly, but also pose significant safety risks to cleaning personnel. Although some solutions using drones for high-altitude operations exist, most systems have significant shortcomings in terms of automation, continuous operation capability, and waste liquid recovery. In particular, there is a lack of efficient and reliable integrated solutions in key areas such as automated replenishment of cleaning fluids and effective collection and treatment of waste liquids from the curtain wall surface, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of modern large-scale glass curtain wall buildings for cleaning efficiency, safety, and environmental protection.
[0003] Existing curtain wall cleaning systems equipped with drones have significant technical shortcomings. The replenishment of cleaning fluid largely relies on manual intervention or simple docking methods, failing to achieve adaptive intelligent replenishment control based on the drone's own status. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a glass curtain wall system equipped with drone cleaning tracks to solve the technical problem of automatic cleaning fluid replenishment during curtain wall cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Furthermore, the drone is provided with a support plate that extends downward at an angle, away from the supply port and along the direction of gravity; the cleaning fluid tank is disposed on the support plate and supported by the support plate, and can slide relative to the support plate along the extension direction of the support plate; the drone is provided with a push plate located between the walking mechanism and the cleaning fluid tank and a spring extending away from the supply port; one end of the spring is connected to the push plate, and the other end is connected to the walking mechanism; the push plate is in contact with the cleaning fluid tank; when the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank reaches a certain weight, the cleaning fluid tank compresses the spring to drive the inlet away from the supply port, so as to prevent the inlet from contacting the supply port.
[0008] Furthermore, the push plate is provided with a first slider; the traveling mechanism is provided with a first slide rail that cooperates with the first slider, and the first slide rail extends in a direction away from the supply port.
[0009] Furthermore, the drone also includes a drive mechanism, a telescopic arm, a nozzle, and a cleaning fluid channel pipe; the output end of the drive mechanism drives the telescopic arm to extend or retract; the nozzle is connected to and supported by the telescopic arm; one end of the cleaning fluid channel pipe is connected to the cleaning fluid tank, and the other end is connected to the nozzle; a water pump is provided between the cleaning fluid tank and the cleaning fluid channel pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism is one of an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, or a gear and rack mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, a horizontally extending guide channel is provided between two adjacent glass curtain wall units; the guide channel is provided with a collection chamber for collecting cleaning waste liquid.
[0012] Furthermore, the drone also includes a scraper connected to the telescopic arm; the scraper, driven by the telescopic arm, always remains in contact with and slides against the inner wall of the guide channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide channel is provided with a drain outlet; the drone also includes a waste liquid collection tank; the waste liquid collection tank is provided with a collection port and a waste liquid collection chamber for containing the waste liquid, and the vertical projection position of the collection port corresponds to the drain outlet.
[0014] Furthermore, the waste liquid collection tank is equipped with a filter screen; the filter screen is located at the collection port.
[0015] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism includes a second slider and a second slide rail; the second slide rail is disposed on the supply box and its extension direction is consistent with the extension direction of the track; the second slider slides in cooperation with the second slide rail and is connected to the sealing cover to drive the sealing cover to move along the second slide rail.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] 1. A combined structure of multiple glass curtain wall units and at least one track, with the track installed on the glass curtain wall, provides a stable and continuous movement path for the drone. A supply tank located on one side of the track, equipped with a cleaning fluid supply chamber, a supply port, and a sealing cap controlled by an opening and closing mechanism, ensures the safe storage and sealing protection of the cleaning fluid. The closable design of the sealing cap provides a structural basis for subsequent automatic replenishment. A transmission component in the drone's walking mechanism, cooperating with the track, drives the drone to move along the track. Combined with the inlet of the cleaning fluid tank facing the supply port, when the drone moves to the supply tank, the inlet accurately contacts and pushes the sealing cap to open the supply port, allowing the cleaning fluid tank to be automatically injected with cleaning fluid through the supply port and inlet. This overall structure enables automatic replenishment of cleaning fluid during curtain wall cleaning by the drone, improving the automation level of the cleaning operation.
[0018] 2. The walking mechanism is equipped with a support plate extending inclinedly away from the supply port and in the direction of gravity. The cleaning fluid tank is mounted on this support plate and can slide relative to it, providing the cleaning fluid tank with a gravity-guided sliding condition to ensure its displacement in a predetermined direction. A push plate and a spring extending away from the supply port are provided between the walking mechanism and the cleaning fluid tank. The two ends of the spring are connected to the push plate and the walking mechanism respectively, and the push plate maintains contact with the cleaning fluid tank, constructing a buffering and resetting mechanism based on the linkage of elasticity and gravity. When the cleaning fluid in the tank reaches a certain weight, the tank can slide along the support plate and push the push plate to compress the spring, thereby causing the inlet to detach from the supply port. This structure, through the synergistic effect of the inclined guide of the support plate, the spring push, and the change in the weight of the cleaning fluid tank, achieves automatic detachment of the inlet after the cleaning fluid is replenished, effectively preventing overfilling or leakage of the cleaning fluid. Simultaneously, the internal capacity of the cleaning fluid tank can be determined based on its positional changes, thus enabling timely replenishment of the cleaning fluid.
[0019] 3. Based on the horizontally extending guide channel between two adjacent glass curtain wall units, and the guide channel having a collection chamber for collecting cleaning waste liquid, the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process is effectively collected and guided, preventing secondary pollution caused by waste liquid overflowing down the curtain wall surface. A scraping device is added to the drone, including a scraper connected to a telescopic arm. Driven by the telescopic arm, the scraper remains in close contact with the inner wall of the guide channel, actively scraping and cleaning any deposited or residual waste liquid within the guide channel. A drain outlet is provided in the guide channel, and a waste liquid collection tank is mounted on the drone. This collection tank has a collection port and a waste liquid collection chamber, with the vertical projection position of the collection port corresponding to the drain outlet, achieving directional transfer and centralized storage of waste liquid from the guide channel to the collection tank. This design effectively prevents secondary pollution to the building facade and surrounding environment. Attached Figure Description

[0029] See Figures 1-5 A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below:
[0030] A glass curtain wall system equipped with a drone cleaning track 200 includes: multiple glass curtain wall units 100, at least one track 200, at least one supply box 300, and at least one drone 400; the track 200 is installed on the glass curtain wall; the supply box 300 is located on one side of the track 200, and the supply box 300 has a cleaning fluid supply chamber 301, a supply port 302, and a sealing cap 303; the cleaning fluid supply chamber 301 is connected to the supply port 302; the sealing cap 303 is connected to the supply box 300 through an opening and closing mechanism for closing and opening the supply port 302; The human-machine interface 400 includes a walking mechanism 401 and a cleaning fluid tank 402. The walking mechanism 401 includes a transmission component that cooperates with a track 200, which drives the drone 400 to move along the track 200. The cleaning fluid tank 402 has an inlet 403 on the side facing the supply port 302. When the drone 400 moves to the supply tank 300, the inlet 403 abuts against and pushes the sealing cap 303 to open the supply port 302, so that the cleaning fluid supply chamber 301, the supply port 302, the inlet 403, and the cleaning fluid tank 402 are sequentially connected along the liquid flow direction. The core of this embodiment is to realize the automatic replenishment of cleaning fluid by the drone 400 during the glass curtain wall cleaning operation, thereby improving the automation level of the entire cleaning system.
[0031] The structure mainly consists of a track 200 installed on the glass curtain wall, a supply tank 300 located on one side of the track 200, and a drone 400 carrying a cleaning fluid tank 402. The supply tank 300 has a cleaning fluid supply chamber 301 inside, and its supply port 302 is usually sealed by a sealing cap 303. The drone 400 is equipped with a walking mechanism 401, a cleaning fluid tank 402, and a fluid inlet 403 located on the side wall of the cleaning fluid tank 402. Its walking mechanism 401 includes transmission components that cooperate with the track 200, ensuring that the drone 400 can stably attach to and move along the track 200. Furthermore, the transmission mechanism can be one of a gear and rack mechanism, a friction wheel transmission mechanism, or a synchronous belt transmission mechanism.
[0032] When the drone 400 moves along the track 200 to the location of the supply tank 300, the inlet 403 on its cleaning fluid tank 402 will gradually approach the supply port 302 of the supply tank 300. During the approach, the inlet 403 exerts a force to push the sealing cap 303 open, thereby opening the supply port 302. At this time, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid supply chamber 301 flows automatically into the cleaning fluid tank 402 of the drone 400 through the connected supply port 302 and inlet 403 under the action of gravity or pressure. After the refueling is completed, the drone 400 can continue to perform the cleaning task.
[0033] In practice, the drone 400 is driven by the drive mechanism 409 to move along the track 200; the cleaning fluid tank 402 is fixed to the drone 400 body, and its inlet 403 is designed to align with the supply port 302; the sealing cap 303 of the supply tank 300 is typically opened and closed via a hinged or sliding mechanism to ensure sealing under normal conditions and smooth opening during resupply. The entire resupply process requires no manual intervention and achieves automated operation.
[0034] It is understood that, based on the combined structure of multiple glass curtain wall units 100 and at least one track 200, the track 200 is installed on the glass curtain wall, providing a stable and continuous movement path for the drone 400; based on the supply tank 300 located on one side of the track 200 and equipped with a cleaning fluid supply chamber 301, a supply port 302, and a sealing cover 303 controlled by an opening and closing mechanism, the safe storage and sealing protection of the cleaning fluid is achieved, and the openable and closable design of the sealing cover 303 provides a structural basis for subsequent automatic replenishment; based on the transmission component in the drone 400 walking mechanism 401 that cooperates with the track 200, the drone 400 is driven to move along the track 200, and combined with the liquid inlet 403 of the cleaning fluid tank 402 facing the supply port 302, when the drone 400 moves to the supply tank 300, the liquid inlet 403 can accurately abut and push the sealing cover 303 to open the supply port 302, thereby allowing the cleaning fluid tank 402 to be automatically injected with cleaning fluid through the supply port 302 and the liquid inlet 403. The overall structure enables the automatic replenishment of cleaning fluid during the curtain wall cleaning process by the UAV400, improving the automation level of the cleaning operation.
[0035] Preferably, the drone 400 is provided with a support plate 404 that extends downward at an angle away from the supply port 302 and along the direction of gravity; the cleaning fluid tank 402 is disposed on the support plate 404 and supported by the support plate 404, and can slide relative to the support plate 404 along the extension direction of the support plate 404; the drone is provided with a push plate 405 located between the walking mechanism 401 and the cleaning fluid tank 402 and a spring 406 extending away from the supply port 302; one end of the spring 406 is connected to the push plate 405, and the other end is connected to the walking mechanism 401; the push plate 405 is in contact with the cleaning fluid tank 402; when the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 402 reaches a certain weight, the cleaning fluid tank 402 compresses the spring 406 to drive the inlet 403 away from the supply port 302, so as to prevent the inlet 403 from contacting the supply port 302. The core of this implementation method is to use the change in the weight of the cleaning fluid tank 402 to automatically disconnect the inlet 403, thereby controlling the amount of cleaning fluid replenishment, preventing overfilling or leakage, and automatically replenishing the cleaning fluid.
[0036] A support plate 404 is provided on the walking mechanism 401 of the drone 400, extending inclinedly in the direction away from the supply port 302 and in the direction of gravity. The cleaning fluid tank 402 is placed on the support plate 404 and can slide along its inclined surface. A push plate 405 and a spring 406 extending in the direction away from the supply port 302 are provided between the walking mechanism 401 and the cleaning fluid tank 402. One end of the spring 406 is connected to the push plate 405, and the other end is fixed to the walking mechanism 401. The push plate 405 always maintains contact with the cleaning fluid tank 402.
[0037] In practice, the support plate 404 is mounted on the walking mechanism 401 at a fixed angle; the bottom of the cleaning fluid tank 402, in contact with the support plate 404, may be equipped with a sliding component; the push plate 405 is elastically connected to the walking mechanism 401 via a spring 406, and its surface remains in constant contact with the side wall of the cleaning fluid tank 402. When the cleaning fluid tank 402 slides down due to the increased weight from the added fluid, it will push the push plate 405 to compress the spring 406, causing the inlet 403 to shift accordingly, thus maintaining a safe distance from the supply port 302. In this way, when the drone 400 moves to the position of the supply tank 300, the inlet 403 and the supply port 302 will not come into contact, completely avoiding mis-connection or interference. This mechanism relies entirely on mechanical structure for feedback control, requiring no external sensors or electric drive.
[0038] It is understood that, based on the fact that the walking mechanism 401 is provided with a support plate 404 that extends obliquely in the direction away from the supply port 302 and in the direction of gravity, and the cleaning fluid tank 402 is set on the support plate 404 and can slide relative to it, the cleaning fluid tank 402 is provided with a sliding condition guided by its own weight, ensuring that it can move in a predetermined direction; based on the fact that a push plate 405 and a spring 406 extending in the direction away from the supply port 302 are provided between the walking mechanism 401 and the cleaning fluid tank 402, and the two ends of the spring 406 are respectively connected to the push plate 405 and the walking mechanism 401, and the push plate 405 and the cleaning fluid tank 402 are kept in contact, a buffering and reset mechanism based on the linkage of elasticity and gravity is constructed; based on the fact that when the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 402 reaches a certain weight, the cleaning fluid tank 402 can slide along the support plate 404 and push the push plate 405 to compress the spring 406, thereby causing the inlet 403 to disengage from the supply port 302. This structure, through the coordinated action of the inclined guide plate 404, the thrust of the spring 406, and the weight change of the cleaning fluid tank 402, achieves automatic disengagement of the inlet 403 after the cleaning fluid is replenished, effectively preventing overfilling or leakage of the cleaning fluid. Simultaneously, the internal capacity of the cleaning fluid tank 402 can be determined based on its positional changes, thus ensuring timely replenishment. Furthermore, the spring 406 can be positioned near the supply port 302; in this case, the spring 406 is a tension spring.
[0039] Preferably, the push plate 405 is provided with a first slider 407; the traveling mechanism 401 is provided with a first slide rail 408 that cooperates with the first slider 407, and the first slide rail 408 extends in a direction away from the supply port 302. The core of this embodiment is that the cooperation between the slider and the slide rail provides a more precise linear guide for the movement of the push plate 405, ensuring that it moves smoothly in a predetermined direction.
[0040] A first slider 407 is fixedly mounted on the push plate 405; a first slide rail 408 that cooperates with the first slider 407 is provided on the traveling mechanism 401, and the first slide rail 408 extends in a direction away from the supply port 302. When the cleaning liquid tank 402 slides along the support plate 404 due to increased weight, it pushes the push plate 405 to move; at this time, the first slider 407 slides along the first slide rail 408, constraining the movement trajectory of the push plate 405, so that it moves strictly in a straight line away from the supply port 302.
[0041] In specific implementation, the first slider 407 can adopt a linear bearing or a sliding sleeve structure; the first slide rail 408 can adopt a light shaft or a linear guide rail; the slider and the slide rail are slidably connected through a clearance fit. This guiding mechanism ensures that the push plate 405 and the spring 406 connected to it always move in a predetermined direction.
[0042] Preferably, the drone 400 further includes a drive mechanism 409, a telescopic arm 410, a nozzle 411, and a cleaning fluid channel pipe 412; the output end of the drive mechanism 409 drives the telescopic arm 410 to extend or retract; the nozzle 411 is connected to and supported by the telescopic arm 410; one end of the cleaning fluid channel pipe 412 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank 402, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 411; a water pump 413 is provided between the cleaning fluid tank 402 and the cleaning fluid channel pipe 412. The core of this embodiment is that the drive mechanism 409 controls the telescopic arm 410 to extend or retract, causing the nozzle 411 to approach or move away from the glass curtain wall surface, while the water pump 413 delivers cleaning fluid to the nozzle 411.
[0043] The drone 400 is equipped with a drive mechanism 409 and a cleaning fluid tank 402. The output end of the drive mechanism 409 is connected to the telescopic arm 410 to drive the telescopic arm 410 to extend and retract, thereby cleaning the glass surface. A nozzle 411 is installed at the end of the telescopic arm 410. One end of the cleaning fluid channel pipe 412 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank 402, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 411. A water pump 413 is installed between the cleaning fluid tank 402 and the cleaning fluid channel pipe 412.
[0044] When cleaning is required, the drive mechanism 409 drives the telescopic arm 410 to extend, bringing the nozzle 411 closer to the glass curtain wall surface; at the same time, the water pump 413 starts, pumping the cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid tank 402 through the cleaning fluid channel to the nozzle 411 and spraying it out; after cleaning is completed, the drive mechanism 409 drives the telescopic arm 410 to retract, moving the nozzle 411 away from the glass surface.
[0045] Preferably, the drive mechanism 409 is one of an electric actuator, a hydraulic cylinder, or a rack and pinion mechanism. The core of this embodiment is to provide a stable and reliable linear drive for the telescopic arm 410 through a specific type of drive mechanism 409, ensuring that the nozzle 411 can be displaced as needed.
[0046] The drive mechanism 409 is specifically adopted as one of an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder or a gear and rack mechanism; the fixed end of the drive mechanism 409 is installed on the body of the UAV 400, and its output end is connected to the base end of the telescopic arm 410.
[0047] When the position of the nozzle 411 needs to be adjusted, the drive mechanism 409 receives the control signal and starts working: the electric push rod is driven to move linearly by the motor, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the piston rod to extend or retract by the hydraulic oil, or the gear and rack mechanism drives the gear to rotate by the motor and drives the rack to move linearly, thereby driving the telescopic arm 410 to extend or retract.
[0048] Preferably, the opening and closing mechanism includes a second slider 304 and a second slide rail 305; the second slide rail 305 is disposed on the supply box 300, and its extending direction is consistent with the extending direction of the track 200; the second slider 304 is slidably engaged with the second slide rail 305 and connected to the sealing cover 303, so as to drive the sealing cover 303 to move along the second slide rail 305. The core of this embodiment is that the cooperation between the slider and the slide rail provides linear guidance for the opening and closing of the sealing cover 303, ensuring its smooth movement along the extending direction of the track 200, and realizing reliable sealing and opening of the supply port 302.
[0049] The opening and closing mechanism includes a second slider 304 and a second slide rail 305; the second slide rail 305 is fixedly installed on the supply box 300, and its extension direction is consistent with the extension direction of the track 200; the second slider 304 and the second slide rail 305 form a sliding fit, and are fixedly connected to the sealing cover 303.
[0050] When the drone 400 moves to the supply tank 300, if the weight of the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 402 has not reached the set value, the inlet 403 will contact the supply port 302, pushing the sealing cap 303 to slide open the supply port 302. The sealing cap 303 then drives the second slider 304 to slide along the second slide rail 305, causing the sealing cap 303 to translate along the extension direction of the track 200, thereby opening the supply port 302. After the inlet 403 retracts, the sealing cap 303 slides in the opposite direction along the second slide rail 305 under the action of gravity or a reset mechanism, resealing the supply port 302. When the weight of the cleaning fluid reaches the set value, the inlet 403 and the supply port 302 will maintain a safe distance and will not contact each other.
[0051] Preferably, a horizontally extending guide channel 500 is provided between two adjacent glass curtain wall units 100; the guide channel 500 is provided with a collection chamber 501 for collecting cleaning waste liquid. The core of this embodiment is that by setting the guide channel 500 and its collection chamber, the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process can be effectively collected and guided, preventing the waste liquid from overflowing down the curtain wall surface and causing secondary pollution.
[0052] A transversely extending guide channel 500 is provided at the joint between two adjacent glass curtain wall units 100; the guide channel 500 is provided with a collection chamber 501 for collecting cleaning waste liquid; the guide channel 500 is arranged along the width direction of the curtain wall unit.
[0053] When the drone 400 performs cleaning operations, the cleaning fluid sprayed from the nozzle 411 mixes with the dirt on the curtain wall surface to form waste liquid, which flows down the curtain wall surface. The waste liquid flows into the collection chamber of the guide channel 500 and is guided laterally along the channel. Finally, it is discharged through the drain outlet 502 at the end of the guide channel 500, thus completing the collection and transfer of waste liquid.
[0054] Preferably, the drone 400 further includes a scraper 414 connected to the telescopic arm 410; driven by the telescopic arm 410, the scraper 414 always maintains a close sliding contact with the inner wall of the guide channel. The core of this embodiment is to drive the scraper 414 to maintain a close sliding contact with the inner wall of the collection chamber by the telescopic arm 410, thereby realizing the active scraping and cleaning of the deposited waste liquid in the guide channel 500.
[0055] The scraper 414 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic arm 410 via a connector; the working surface shape of the scraper 414 is adapted to the contour of the inner wall of the collection chamber; the telescopic arm 410 achieves extension and retraction movements through the drive mechanism 409.
[0056] When the guide channel 500 needs to be cleaned, the telescopic arm 410 drives the scraper 414 to extend into the collection chamber; the scraper 414 slides along the inner wall of the collection chamber under the action of the telescopic arm 410, scraping the deposited waste liquid toward the drain outlet 502; after cleaning is completed, the telescopic arm 410 drives the scraper 414 to retract and disengage from the collection chamber.
[0057] Preferably, the guide channel 500 is provided with a drain outlet 502; the drone 400 also includes a waste liquid collection tank 415; the waste liquid collection tank 415 is provided with a collection port 416 and a waste liquid collection chamber for containing waste liquid, and the vertical projection position of the collection port 416 corresponds to the drain outlet 502. The core of this embodiment is that by the corresponding cooperation between the drain outlet 502 and the collection port 416, the waste liquid is directionally transferred and centrally stored from the guide channel 500 to the collection tank, preventing waste liquid from overflowing and causing environmental pollution.
[0058] The bottom or side wall of the flow channel 500 is provided with a drain outlet 502; a waste liquid collection tank 415 is installed on the fuselage of the drone 400; a collection port 416 is opened on the top of the waste liquid collection tank 415, and a waste liquid collection chamber is provided inside; when the drone 400 is positioned below the flow channel 500, the vertical projection position of the collection port 416 corresponds exactly to the drain outlet 502. A horn-shaped flow guide can also be provided at the collection port 416, the opening size of which is larger than the diameter of the drain outlet 502, thereby expanding the water receiving area and ensuring that the waste liquid flowing out of the drain outlet 502 is collected as much as possible.
[0059] When the waste liquid in the guide channel 500 accumulates to a certain amount, the drone 400 moves to a position below the guide channel 500 so that the collection port 416 is accurately aligned with the drain port 502; the waste liquid flows into the waste liquid collection chamber of the collection box through the drain port 502 under the action of gravity; the filter screen 417 in the collection box can perform preliminary filtration treatment on the waste liquid.
[0060] Preferably, the waste liquid collection tank 415 is equipped with a filter screen 417; the filter screen 417 is located at the collection port 416. The core of this embodiment is that by setting the filter screen 417 at the collection port 416, the waste liquid flowing into the waste liquid collection tank 415 is initially filtered, separating solid impurities from the liquid, thereby improving the efficiency of waste liquid recycling and treatment.
[0061] The filter screen 417 is fixedly installed at the collection port 416 of the waste liquid collection tank 415; the mesh size of the filter screen 417 is designed according to the size of the impurity particles in the waste liquid; the edge of the filter screen 417 forms a sealing fit with the inner wall of the collection port 416.
[0062] When the waste liquid flows into the collection box from the drain outlet 502 of the guide channel 500, it first passes through the filter screen 417; the filter screen 417 traps solid particles and larger impurities in the waste liquid, and the filtered liquid enters the waste liquid collection chamber; the filter screen 417 is cleaned or replaced regularly to maintain the filtration effect.
[0063] In summary, this solution provides a stable movement path for the drone 400 through a structure combining multiple glass curtain wall units 100 and tracks 200. A supply box 300 on one side of the tracks 200 enables safe storage and automatic replenishment of cleaning fluid. Through the coordinated mechanism of the tilting support plate 404, the push plate 405, and the spring 406, the inlet 403 is automatically connected and disconnected by the weight change of the cleaning fluid tank 402, effectively preventing overfilling. Waste fluid is collected by drainage channels 500 between the curtain wall units, and the collection chamber is actively cleaned by the drone 400's scraper 414. The waste fluid is then transferred and centrally stored via the corresponding drainage outlet 502 and the collection box. The entire system achieves fully automated operation of cleaning fluid replenishment and waste fluid recovery during curtain wall cleaning, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and eliminating secondary pollution.
