Detailed Implementation
[0044] The core of this invention is to provide an integrated compartment for photovoltaic cleaning equipment, which can significantly improve the reliability of water and power supply to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment.
[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the integrated compartment for the photovoltaic cleaning equipment includes:
[0048] Cabin 1, whose interior defines the storage space;
[0049] Water storage tank 27 is detachably installed in the housing space and is used to supply water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment;
[0050] A water supply system is installed on the cabin 1. The water supply system is configured to selectively connect to an external water supply device to replenish water to the water storage unit, or directly supply water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment; that is, the water supply system is used to connect to an external water supply device and control the water supply device to supply water to the water storage tank 27 or the photovoltaic cleaning equipment.
[0051] The power distribution system is installed on the cabin 1. The power distribution system is electrically connected to the water source system and the rechargeable battery to supply power to the water source system and the rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can be used in the photovoltaic cleaning equipment.
[0052] The control system is operably connected to the water source system and the power distribution system, and is used to coordinate and control the operation of the water source system and the power distribution of the power distribution system. Specifically, both the water source system and the power distribution system are connected to the control system. The control system is used to control the operation of the water source system according to the water demand of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, and also to control the operation of the power distribution system according to the power demand of the water source system and the charging battery.
[0053] Specifically, the photovoltaic cleaning equipment can be a cleaning drone, which cleans each photovoltaic panel. The integrated compartment of this equipment can supply water or rechargeable batteries to the cleaning drone when it needs water replenishment or battery replacement. The water tank 27 is detachably installed within the storage space; it is an optional component. When the water supply equipment can directly supply water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, there is no need to install the water tank 27 within the storage space. In this case, other components that need to be transported, such as the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, can be placed within the storage space, making full use of the space. This integrated compartment is a modular and movable drone integrated compartment system. It is an integrated modular device that can be quickly and easily placed in the cargo bed of various types of transport vehicles such as pickup trucks and small vans, or directly installed in a pre-set location at the site for use as a fixed integrated compartment.
[0054] The integrated cabin for photovoltaic cleaning equipment provided by this invention integrates a water storage tank 27 and a water supply system on the cabin body 1. The water storage tank 27 can store water, which can be used in scenarios where the water supply equipment cannot directly supply water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. The water supply system can control the water supply equipment to supply water directly to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, or control the water supply equipment to supply water to the water storage tank 27. At the same time, a power distribution system is set on the cabin body 1, which can not only charge the rechargeable battery of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, but also supply power to various devices within the cabin body 1. Furthermore, through the setting of the control system, the water supply system and the power distribution system can be automatically controlled, thereby meeting the water and power supply needs of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. This enables the rapid transfer, rapid deployment, or long-term deployment of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment in conjunction with other equipment. It also ensures reliable solutions to the corresponding power and water supply problems of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment during the cleaning process, and can quickly and stably solve the problems of power and water supply for the photovoltaic cleaning equipment.
[0055] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 7 The power distribution system includes a power supply housing and power distribution components. The power supply housing defines a power distribution space 10 and a battery space 11. The power supply housing provides protection and is located on the inner wall of the housing. The power distribution components are located in the power distribution space 10, and the rechargeable battery is located in the battery space 11. The power distribution components are used to connect external power supply equipment and supply power to the rechargeable battery. The system is modular and can be disassembled and maintained as a whole.
[0056] In some embodiments, the power distribution system also includes a cooling system and an environmental monitoring system. Both the cooling system and the environmental monitoring system are located inside the power supply housing and are connected to the control system. The environmental monitoring system is used to obtain the temperature inside the power supply housing, and the control system is also used to control the operation of the cooling system based on the temperature inside the power supply housing. Specifically, a power distribution system is installed on the left side of the cabin 1. The power distribution system consists of a power distribution space 10, a battery space 11, an air-cooling system 12, a water-cooling system 13, a power distribution system opening and closing door 2, and related heat dissipation windows 5. The heat dissipation windows 5 are located on the side wall of the cabin 1 and supply power to the water pumps 25-9 and the battery charging system, etc. The battery charging system charges the rechargeable batteries. The power distribution space 10 has an external power supply socket and different types of power supply sockets and power supply modules to facilitate electrical connection with other equipment.
[0057] In some embodiments, the cooling system includes an air-cooled system 12 and a water-cooled system 13. Both the air-cooled system 12 and the water-cooled system 13 are connected to a control system. The control system is used to activate the air-cooled system 12 when the temperature inside the power supply housing exceeds a first temperature threshold, and to activate the water-cooled system 13 when the temperature inside the power supply housing exceeds a second temperature threshold. The second temperature threshold is greater than the first temperature threshold. Specifically, the air-cooled system 12 and the water-cooled system 13 can be linked through an environmental monitor 14 to ensure the overall stability of the power distribution system within a safe range and prevent overheating inside the housing. Furthermore, when the temperature inside the power supply housing rises to the first temperature threshold, the hazard is relatively small, and only the air-cooled system 12 needs to be activated. When the temperature inside the power supply housing rises to the second temperature threshold, the hazard is relatively large, and both the air-cooled system 12 and the water-cooled system 13 need to be activated simultaneously. Of course, other temperature thresholds can also be set, and only the water-cooled system 13 needs to be activated, making it widely applicable.
[0058] In some embodiments, the air-cooling system 12 includes an air-cooled fan, meaning that air cooling mainly relies on the air-cooled fan to provide airflow. The water-cooling system 13 includes water-cooled pipes, a pipe-driven pump, a water-cooled fan, and a heater. The water-cooled fan is used to cool the water-cooled pipes, and the heater is installed on the water-cooled pipes. The housing 1 is provided with a heat dissipation window 5 for airflow to enter and exit the power supply housing; the heat dissipation window 5 can be a heat dissipation louver. The pipe-driven pump, water-cooled fan, and heater are all connected to the control system. The control system is also used to control the water-cooled fan to start when the temperature inside the power supply housing is higher than a third temperature threshold. When the temperature inside the power supply housing is higher than the third temperature threshold, it indicates that the air-cooling system 12 and the water-cooling system 13 cannot meet the cooling requirements of the gas inside the power supply housing. At this time, the water-cooled fan needs to be turned on to cool the water-cooled pipes and further improve the cooling capacity. The control system is also used to control the heater to start when the temperature inside the power supply housing is lower than a target temperature threshold, which is suitable for use in low-temperature environments and avoids the risks caused by excessively low temperatures. The target temperature threshold is less than the first temperature threshold.
[0059] In some embodiments, an in-warehouse monitor 21 is also included. The in-warehouse monitor 21 is installed in the storage space and connected to the control system. The in-warehouse monitor 21 is used to acquire storage information in the storage space in real time and send it to the control system. The control system can monitor the storage status of the items in the storage space to ensure the reliability of the transportation process. The storage information includes the location status and type of the goods in the storage space.
[0060] In some embodiments, a lighting lamp 22 is also included. The lighting lamp 22 is installed in the storage space and is connected to the control system. The control system is also used to control the lighting lamp 22 to turn on when the brightness in the storage space is lower than the preset brightness, so as to ensure the use needs in dark environments. With the setting of the in-warehouse monitor 21 and the lighting lamp 22, the safety of the items in the storage space and the nighttime preparation work can be guaranteed.
[0061] In some embodiments, the cabin 1 is equipped with a power distribution system opening and closing door 2, a control and water supply system opening and closing door 3, and a main opening and closing door 4. The power distribution system opening and closing door 2 and the control and water supply system opening and closing door 3 are located on the left and right sides of the cabin 1, respectively, and are respectively located near the power distribution system and the water supply system. The main opening and closing door 4 is located on the front or rear side of the cabin 1. The main opening and closing door 4 is relatively large, so it is located on the front or rear side of the cabin 1, preferably on the rear side, to facilitate the entry and exit of components such as the water tank 27. Specifically, the power distribution system opening and closing door 2, the control and water supply system opening and closing door 3, and the main opening and closing door 4 are installed on the three sides of the cabin 1, respectively. The power distribution system opening and closing door 2 is used to protect the power distribution system, the control and water supply system opening and closing door 3 protects the control and water supply system, and the main opening and closing door 4 can transport the main equipment, including photovoltaic cleaning equipment, water pipes, engines, and other tools.
[0062] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 6 The space contains a storage compartment and a movable support plate 17. The movable support plate 17 can be made of steel plate and is located on the upper part of the storage compartment. It can not only place items, but also block the storage compartment. The movable support plate 17 is located on the upper part of the storage compartment and can extend to the outside of the cabin 1 through the main opening and closing door 4. The water tank 27 is detachably installed on the movable support plate 17 for easy arrangement.
[0063] In some embodiments, the water tank 27 is a foldable water tank. The foldable water tank occupies little space, and when not in use, it can be folded and placed in the portable storage compartment for easy access. It also includes a support rod 26 for supporting the water tank 27. The movable support plate 17 has a pre-installed support rod 20 for the water tank. The top of the pre-installed support rod 20 has a limiting hole for inserting and limiting the support rod 26, facilitating quick assembly of the support rod 26 and the pre-installed support rod 20. When unfolded, the bottom of the support rod 26 abuts against the pre-installed support rod 20, and the top abuts against the inner top of the accommodating space, ensuring the stability of the support rod 26 and the water tank 27. Specifically, the pre-installed support rod 20 can be used to construct the foldable water tank; the support rod 26 can also be placed in the portable storage compartment.

The electric push rods are used to push the movable support plate 17 and the movable storage compartment 18 to move. The electric push rods are connected to the control system. The control system realizes the automatic extension and retraction of the movable support plate 17 and the movable storage compartment 18 by controlling the action of the electric push rods, which is convenient to use. At the same time, buttons can be set on the compartment 1. By touching the buttons, either the movable support plate 17 or the movable storage compartment 18 can be pushed or pulled, which is convenient to operate and reduces the intensity.

The water pump 25-9 is used to provide power for the water flow, and the control valves 25-8 are used to control the direction of the water flow. Specifically, control valves 25-8 are installed between the inlet 24-1 and the outlet 24-3, between the inlet 24-1 and the storage port 24-2, and between the storage port and the outlet 24-3. The control valves 25-8 are connected to the control system, and the control system is also used to control the start and stop of each control valve 25-8. The above setup, through the water supply and storage interface equipment and the valve assembly of water pump 25-9, enables rapid connection of the water supply equipment, water storage tank 27, and photovoltaic cleaning equipment. By controlling the opening and closing of each control valve 25-8, it is possible to switch between the water supply equipment directly supplying water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, the water supply equipment supplying water to the water storage tank 27, or the water storage tank 27 supplying water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. The operation is convenient and easy to use, with low skill requirements for the staff. The control system plays different roles by switching the function of water pump 25-9.
[0068] In some embodiments, the flow channels include a vertically extending inlet channel 25-1, a water storage channel 25-2, an outlet channel 25-3, and a horizontally extending drain channel 25-4. A water pump 25-9 is installed on the outlet channel 25-3, although the water pump 25-9 can also be located in other positions. The inlet 24-1, water storage port 24-2, and outlet 24-3 are located at the top of the inlet channel 25-1, water storage channel 25-2, and outlet channel 25-3, respectively. The return port 24-4 is located in the lower middle part of the water storage channel 25-2, and the drain channel 25-4 is located below the inlet channel 25-1, water storage channel 25-2, and outlet channel 25-3. The water flow channels 25-3 can be arranged in parallel. The drainage flow channel 25-4 is arranged laterally at the lower part of the water inlet flow channel 25-1, the water storage channel 25-2, and the water outlet flow channel 25-3. One end of the drainage flow channel 25-4 is connected to the bottom of the water inlet flow channel 25-1, and the other end is provided with a drain outlet 24-5, which extends to the side of the compartment 1. The return water outlet 24-4 is connected to the water storage channel 25-2 and is located in the middle and lower part of the water storage channel 25-2. The return water outlet 24-4 is connected to the outlet of the water storage tank 27. The water in the water storage tank 27 flows through the outlet of the water storage tank 27 to the return water outlet 24-4, and then flows through the return water outlet 24-4 to the drainage flow channel 25-4, and finally is discharged through the drain outlet 24-5.
[0069] In some embodiments, a first channel branch 25-5 is provided between the water inlet channel 25-1 and the water storage channel 25-2, a second channel branch 25-6 is provided between the water storage channel 25-2 and the water outlet channel 25-3, and a third channel branch 25-7 is provided between the water inlet channel 25-1 and the water outlet channel 25-3. A control valve 25-8 is provided on the first channel branch 25-5, the second channel branch 25-6, the third channel branch 25-7, and the drainage channel 25-4 to control the opening and closing of each control valve 25-8, thereby realizing different modes of water supply equipment directly supplying water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, water supply equipment supplying water to the water storage tank 27, or water storage tank 27 supplying water to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, and water storage tank 27 draining water.
[0070] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 8 The water source system also includes a water source housing, which contains a control system compartment 23 for housing the control system, a water supply and storage interface compartment 24 for housing the water supply and storage interface equipment, and a water pump and valve compartment 25 for housing the water pumps 25-9 and valve assemblies. The water source housing facilitates modular design, enabling the overall disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the water source system.
[0071] In some embodiments, an extension pipe assembly 16 is also included. The extension pipe assembly 16 includes a water pipe retraction device and an extension pipe. One end of the extension pipe is used to connect to the water outlet 24-3. Specifically, one end of the extension pipe is detachably connected to the water outlet 24-3, and the other end of the extension pipe is used to connect to the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. The extension pipe is wound around the water pipe retraction device for easy storage. The water pipe retraction device is located on the cabin 1 and is used to release or retract the extension pipe, which can adapt to the water supply needs of photovoltaic cleaning equipment in different locations. Multiple extension pipe assemblies 16 can be set up for backup. Alternatively, multiple extension pipe assemblies 16 can be connected simultaneously by setting a three-way valve or a multi-way valve on the water outlet 24-3, which can simultaneously supply water to multiple photovoltaic cleaning equipment.
[0072] Specifically, in one embodiment, the exterior of the cabin 1 is equipped with a power distribution system opening and closing door 2, a control and water supply system opening and closing door 3, and a main opening and closing door 4. The power distribution system opening and closing door 2 has ventilation windows 5 on its upper and lower parts, a drain hole 6 on the bottom side of the cabin 1, a lifting ring 7 on the top, and shock-absorbing springs on the bottom. The power distribution system compartment 9 includes a power distribution space 10, a battery space 11, an air-cooling system 12, and a water-cooling system 13. An environmental monitor 14 is also installed inside the power distribution space 10. The control and water supply... The system management compartment 15 includes a machine compartment control system, a water supply and storage interface compartment 24, and a water pump 25-9. The innermost wall inside the compartment 1 is equipped with a water pipe retraction device and an in-compartment monitor 21. The side is equipped with a control and water source system management compartment 15 and a lighting lamp 22. The bottom is equipped with a movable support plate 17, a movable miscellaneous storage compartment 18, and a fixed miscellaneous storage compartment 19. A water tank reserved support rod 20 is fixed on the movable support plate 17. The control and water source system management compartment 15 contains a control system compartment 23, a water supply and storage interface compartment 24, and a water pump valve compartment 25.
[0073] Furthermore, the water pipe extension and retraction device can automatically extend and retract the pipeline via a motor. The movable support plate 17 has high load-bearing capacity and is equipped with a water tank support rod 20, which can accommodate heavy equipment such as photovoltaic cleaning equipment and water storage tank 27. It can also be automatically pushed and pulled out of the storage space via an electric push rod. The movable storage compartment 18 and the fixed storage compartment 19 can be used to store related parts, tools, etc. The upper part of the fixed storage compartment 19 can also be used to place a fixed battery cabinet or generator to provide power to the compartment 1. The compartment 1 is also equipped with an internal monitor 21 and lighting 22 to ensure the safety of the items inside and for nighttime preparation work. The right side of the compartment 1 is equipped with a control and water supply system compartment, which includes a control system compartment 23, a water supply and storage interface compartment 24, and a water pump system 25-9. The control system compartment 23 can control all electrical equipment inside the compartment 1, including the air cooling system 12, the water cooling system 13, the power distribution space 10 socket power supply, and the water pipe extension and retraction system. The system includes a retractable and extendable device, a movable support plate 17, a movable storage compartment 18, water pumps 25-9, lighting 22, and an in-compartment monitoring device 21. It can also wirelessly interface with photovoltaic cleaning equipment to confirm its real-time status and control its flight. After unloading the photovoltaic cleaning equipment, the water tank support rod 20 on the movable support plate 17 can be reinforced with a portable support rod 26 to strengthen the water storage tank 27. The reinforcement points include the bottom and top of the compartment 1, transforming the compartment 1 into a large-capacity water tank to meet the water needs of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. The water pump 25-9 system can switch between interfaces in the water supply and storage interface compartment 24 to directly supply water or store water in the water storage tank 27 within the compartment 1. Simultaneously switching the drain hole 6 allows for rapid water drainage. Shock-absorbing springs ensure the overall stability of the compartment 1 when fully loaded with clean water, preventing damage and leakage to the water tank during vehicle transport due to vibration.
[0074] The process of using this integrated cabin includes the following steps:
[0075] Step S1: The entire cabin 1 can be lifted using the top lifting ring 7 and quickly and conveniently placed into the rear bed of a pickup truck, minivan, or other transport vehicle. The bottom of the cabin 1 has shock-absorbing springs and can be fixed to the vehicle's rear bed using fasteners such as fixing bolts at the bottom of the cabin 1, or directly installed in a pre-set position at the station for use as a fixed integrated cabin.
[0076] Step S2: The power distribution system compartment 9 on the left side of the cabin 1 provides the necessary power for the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. The power distribution system compartment 9 can be opened from the outside via the power distribution system opening and closing door 2. Its interior is divided into a power distribution space 10 and a battery space 11. The power distribution space 10 is primarily powered by external power sources, including direct power from new energy vehicles, local power, and power from the batteries or engine carried inside the cabin 1. Simultaneously, the power distribution space 10 can provide different voltages from 24V to 380V and corresponding AC / DC currents to ensure the charging capacity of the batteries. For safe transportation, the power distribution system compartment 9 is also equipped with an air-cooling system 12 and a water-cooling system 13. When the environmental monitor 14 detects that the temperature inside the power supply housing is too high, the air-cooling system 12 is activated to expel hot air through the heat dissipation window 5 on the power distribution system opening and closing compartment door 2. When the temperature inside the power supply housing is still rising, the water-cooling system 13 installed on the outer shell of the power distribution system compartment 9 is activated to expel hot air through the heat dissipation window 5 on the left side of the compartment 1. At the same time, when the external temperature is too low, the water-cooling system 13 also has a heating function to ensure that the rechargeable battery is at the optimal operating temperature before it is removed.
[0077] Step S3: Through the internal layout of the cabin 1, a water pipe retraction device is suspended on the innermost wall, which can be used to store extension pipes. The device has an automatic retraction function, which can improve the efficiency of water pipe retraction. The bottom ground is equipped with a movable support plate 17, a movable storage compartment 18, and a fixed storage compartment 19. The movable support plate 17 and the movable storage compartment 18 are electrically telescopic compartments that can be moved to the outside of the cabin 1 to facilitate the handling and unloading of items. The compartment is also equipped with a lighting lamp 22 and an in-compartment monitor 21. The in-compartment monitor 21 can monitor the real-time situation of equipment transportation and storage, and the lighting lamp 22 can provide lighting for the compartment at night to facilitate preparation.
[0078] Step S4: The foldable water tank can be supported by the pre-arranged support rods 20 on the movable support plate 17 and the portable support rods 26. At the same time, the portable support rods 26 extend to abut the bottom and top of the cabin 1 to ensure the overall stability of the foldable water tank. This also increases the load-bearing capacity of the movable support plate 17, ensuring that it will not shake greatly during transportation after being filled with water, and will not collapse the movable steel plate due to excessive weight. The external shock-absorbing springs provide auxiliary shock absorption to ensure that the transportation amplitude is within an acceptable range and meets the water requirements for drone cleaning.
[0079] Step S5: The electrical equipment inside the entire cabin 1 can be controlled through the control and water supply system compartment on the right side of the cabin 1. This includes the control system compartment 23, the water supply and storage interface compartment 24, and the water pump 25-9 system. The control system compartment 23 is the central controller of the entire cabin 1, controlling all equipment inside the compartment. The water supply and storage interface compartment 24 has an inlet 24-1, a storage inlet 24-2, an outlet 24-3, a return outlet 24-4, and a drain outlet 24-5, which together form the water supply system of the cabin 1. The external water supply mode can be switched through the switching function in the water pump 25-9 system, mainly including switching the direct water supply function, the water storage function, and the drainage function, to meet the requirements of rapid water supply, rapid preparation, and rapid recovery.
[0080] Step S6: Through the control system inside the control unit 23, the real-time status of all equipment can be monitored via the monitor 21 inside the unit, including power consumption, electricity consumption, water consumption, remaining water volume, equipment operating status inside the unit, temperature and humidity inside the unit, and equipment status during transportation. It can also control the power distribution system, air cooling system 12, water cooling system 13, water pipe retraction device, electric opening and closing of movable support plate 17, electric opening and closing of movable miscellaneous storage compartment 18, water pump system 25-9, water supply switching device, and lighting 22. At the same time, it can also be connected to the drone control system to perform real-time detection and control of the drone, ensuring convenient and efficient completion of cleaning operations and intelligent on-site cleaning tasks. All data can be uploaded to the cloud operation and maintenance platform.
