Description

Technical Field

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) cleaning robot is an automated device specifically designed for cleaning contaminants on the surface of PV panels. Through intelligent navigation and autonomous cleaning, it improves power generation efficiency and reduces labor costs, making it suitable for various PV power plant scenarios. To facilitate cleaning PV panels, an adsorption-type gripping mechanism is required within the cleaning components. The "PV cleaning robot with distributed adsorption components" disclosed in application number "201911161570.8" is an increasingly mature technology. Its "PV cleaning robot with distributed adsorption components provided in this embodiment of the invention, through the set distributed suction cup components, ensures that the suction cups adhere to the inclined surface regardless of whether the PV cleaning robot is working on or crossing an inclined surface, providing sufficient adsorption force to keep the PV cleaning robot in a good state while operating on the inclined surface, and adapting to various inclined surface operations, thus improving the working efficiency of the PV cleaning robot on inclined surfaces." However, this cleaning robot still has the following drawbacks during use: This cleaning robot, through its combined sweeping and adsorption mechanisms, does effectively clean photovoltaic panels. However, the adsorption area covered by a single adsorption mechanism is limited, thus affecting cleaning efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adsorption-type gripping mechanism that can expand the cleaning area and improve cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the current cleaning robot's adsorption components can only adsorb and clean dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panels, making it inconvenient for cleaning dirt and grime, thus affecting cleaning quality. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adsorption-type gripping mechanism that facilitates cleaning dirt and grime, improves cleaning quality, and enhances usability during use.

The first adsorption cleaning component is installed in the middle of the robot body, and two second adsorption cleaning components are provided, with the two second adsorption cleaning components respectively installed on both sides of the robot body. The first cleaning component and the second cleaning component are respectively installed at the front end and the rear end of the robot body.

Each collection box has a second feeding trough. The two first feeding troughs, the two second feeding troughs and the independent chambers on both sides correspond to each other and are interconnected.

[0006] Preferably, rubber tracks are installed on both sides of the bottom of the robot body.

[0007] Preferably, the second adsorption cleaning component includes an adsorption box, which is installed on the side wall of the robot body; A second fan is installed on the adsorption box, and the second fan is driven and connected to a second fan. The bottom of the adsorption box is provided with a first air inlet, and the second air velocity is located at the first air inlet; The bottom of the adsorption box is equipped with a strip adsorption plate, and a second air inlet is provided on the strip adsorption plate, with the first air inlet and the second air inlet corresponding to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the first drive transmission mechanism includes two synchronous pulleys, which are installed at both ends of the bottom of the front mounting plate. One of the synchronous pulleys is driven and connected to the first transmission mechanism. The two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt, and a mounting strip is installed on the side surface of the synchronous belt. A cleaning brush is installed at the lower end of the mounting strip.

[0011] Preferably, the first transmission mechanism includes a first motor, a second bevel gear is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, the second bevel gear is meshed with the first bevel gear, and the first bevel gear is mounted on one of the synchronous pulleys.

[0013] Preferably, the second drive transmission mechanism includes a second motor, which drives a second transmission disk. The second transmission disk is connected to a first transmission disk via a transmission belt, and the first transmission disk is mounted on the brush roller.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention provides a photovoltaic cleaning robot with an adsorption-type gripping mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, two pusher plates with a 45° inclined structure are set at the front end of the front mounting plate, which can push dust and other objects on the surface of the photovoltaic panel to both sides of the robot body. When the strip-shaped adsorption plates on both sides of the robot body pass by, they can adsorb the dust that has accumulated in strips into the interior of the strip-shaped adsorption plates. The cooperation of these structures can facilitate the expansion of the adsorption area, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the adsorption gripping mechanism.

[0018] In summary, this device achieves an organic combination of adsorption and cleaning in its structural design and functional coordination, which not only improves cleaning efficiency and quality but also enhances its applicability in diverse application scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a photovoltaic cleaning robot with a cleaning component adsorption gripping mechanism, including a robot body, a first adsorption cleaning component 100 installed in the middle of the robot body; second adsorption cleaning components 200 arranged on both sides of the robot body; and a first cleaning component 300 and a second cleaning component 400 respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the robot body.

[0027] A rubber track 102 is installed on each of the lower ends of the robot body 101.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first adsorption cleaning component 100, in conjunction with the second adsorption cleaning component 200, can simultaneously perform adsorption cleaning operations on the photovoltaic panel from the bottom and both sides. This expands the cleaning area of ​​the adsorption gripping mechanism and makes it suitable for use on photovoltaic panels in various environments, enhancing the versatility of the gripping mechanism. Furthermore, the cooperation of the above structures facilitates the rotation and rolling cleaning of dirt and grime on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the cleaning quality and enhancing the practicality of the gripping mechanism.

[0029] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a photovoltaic cleaning robot cleaning component adsorption gripping mechanism, wherein the first adsorption cleaning component 100 includes a first fan 104, and the first fan 104 is driven and connected to a first fan 105. The robot body has an adsorption tank 111 in the middle, and two baffles 112 are installed in the adsorption tank to divide the adsorption tank into three independent chambers. The first fan is installed in a separate chamber located in the middle.

[0030] The upper end of the robot body 101 is equipped with a top cover plate 103, and the first fan 104 is embedded inside the top cover plate 103.

[0031] Two collection boxes 106 are installed on the upper end of the top cover plate 103; the two collection boxes 106 are arranged symmetrically with the first fan as the center.

[0032] The top cover plate 103 has two first feed troughs 107 at its upper end, and the two first feed troughs 107 are symmetrically arranged with the first fan as the center.

[0033] Each collection box 106 has a second feeding trough 108 at its lower end; the two second feeding troughs 108, the two first feeding troughs 107, and the independent chambers on both sides correspond to each other and are interconnected.

[0034] In this embodiment, the baffle plate 112 can prevent dust from entering the lower end of the first fan 104 during adsorption, ensuring the smooth operation of the first fan 104. The adsorption groove 111 facilitates the first fan 104 to adsorb dust into the collection box 106 through the adsorption groove 111, thereby improving the adsorption smoothness of the gripping mechanism.

[0035] In this embodiment, during use, the robot body 101 is first moved at a constant speed by the rubber track 102 so that the robot body 101 has the ability to climb slopes, thereby enabling it to clean photovoltaic panels in different environments. When the robot body 101 moves, the first fan 104 is started to rotate the first fan 105. With the help of the adsorption tank 111, the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel at the lower end of the robot body 101 can be adsorbed. Then, the dust enters the collection box 106 through the first feeding tank 107 and the second feeding tank 108 to perform the initial adsorption cleaning operation. At the same time, the presence of the baffle plate 112 can prevent dust and other particles from accidentally entering the first fan 104 and causing damage.

[0036] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a cleaning component adsorption gripping mechanism for a photovoltaic cleaning robot. The second adsorption cleaning component 200 includes an adsorption box 201 installed on the side wall of the robot body 101. A second fan 203 is installed at the upper end of the adsorption box 201, and a second fan 202 is key-connected to the output end of the second fan 203.

[0037] The lower end of the adsorption box 201 is provided with a first air inlet 204, and a strip adsorption plate 205 is installed at the lower end of the adsorption box 201. The upper end of the strip adsorption plate 205 is provided with a second air inlet 206, and the second air inlet 206 and the first air inlet 204 are matched.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the first adsorption cleaning component is started, the second fan 203 is started at the same time. The second fan drives the second fan 202 to rotate, and at this time the strip adsorption plates 205 on both sides of the robot body 101 have an adsorption effect.

[0039] Example 4 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a cleaning component adsorption gripping mechanism for a photovoltaic cleaning robot. The first cleaning component 300 includes a front mounting plate 301 installed at the front end of the robot body 101, and two fixing blocks 302 are movably installed at the front end of the front mounting plate 301.

[0040] Each fixing block 302 has a U-shaped groove 303 at one end. The two fixing blocks 302 are snapped onto the front mounting plate 301 through the U-shaped groove 303 and fixedly connected by fastening bolts 322, thereby improving the installation stability and ease of disassembly and replacement of the fixing blocks 302.

[0041] Each fixed block 302 is fixedly connected to a pusher plate 304 at its end, and the two pusher plates 304 are arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0042] The front mounting plate 301 has two synchronous pulleys 305 rotatably connected inside, and a synchronous belt 306 is connected between the two synchronous pulleys 305. A first transmission mechanism 307 is installed on the upper end of one of the synchronous pulleys 305, and an installation strip 308 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the synchronous belt 306. A cleaning brush 309 is installed on the lower end of the installation strip 308.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism includes a first motor, and a second bevel gear is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor. The second bevel gear is driven to be connected to one of the synchronous belt pulleys.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the robot body 101 moves, the two pusher plates 304 at the front end of the front mounting plate 301, which have a 45° inclined structure, can push the dust and other objects on the surface of the photovoltaic panel to both sides of the robot body 101. When the strip-shaped adsorption plates 205 on both sides of the robot body 101 pass by, they can adsorb the dust that has accumulated in strips into the interior of the strip-shaped adsorption plates 205, thus expanding the adsorption area and improving the adsorption efficiency.

[0045] Example 5 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a cleaning component adsorption gripping mechanism for a photovoltaic cleaning robot. The second cleaning component 400 includes a rear mounting plate 401 installed at the rear end of the robot body 101. A brush roller 402 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the rear mounting plate 401.

The second transmission disk is connected to a first transmission disk via a transmission belt, and the first transmission disk is mounted on one of the transmission shafts.

[0047] In this embodiment, as the robot body 101 moves, the first transmission mechanism 307 and the second transmission mechanism 404 are activated. The first motor 3072 in the first transmission mechanism 307 drives the second bevel gear 3073 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 3071 and one of its lower synchronous pulleys 305 to rotate. With the synchronous belt 306, the other synchronous pulley 305 can rotate. As the two synchronous pulleys 305 drive the synchronous belt 306 and the mounting strip 308 to rotate, the cleaning brush 309 can rotate to perform a rotary cleaning operation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, the second motor 4042 in the second transmission mechanism 404 drives the second transmission disk 4043 to rotate. With the transmission belt 4044, the first transmission disk 4041 and one of its surface transmission shafts 403 can rotate. With the other transmission shaft 403, the brush roller 402 can roll inside the rear mounting plate 401 to further clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the gripping mechanism and enhancing its practicality.

[0049] Both sides of the robot body 101 are fixedly connected with support arms 121. The end of the support arm 121 is provided with a positioning groove 122, and the upper end of the support arm 121 is provided with a first pin hole 123.

[0050] The presence of the support arm 121, in conjunction with the positioning groove 122, can significantly improve the installation stability and ease of disassembly and replacement of the adsorption box 201.

[0051] Positioning blocks 211 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two adsorption boxes 201. The positioning blocks 211 are inserted into the positioning groove 122. A second pin hole 212 is opened at the upper end of the positioning block 211. Pins 213 are inserted into the interior of both the second pin hole 212 and the first pin hole 123.

[0052] By inserting the positioning block 211 into the positioning groove 122, and inserting the pin 213 into the first pin hole 123 and the second pin hole 212, the installation stability between the adsorption box 201 and the robot body 101 can be enhanced. After the pin 213 is pulled out, the adsorption box 201 can be disassembled.

[0053] The lower end of the adsorption box 201 has two arc-shaped slots 221, and the upper end of the strip adsorption plate 205 is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped clips 222, both of which are engaged inside the arc-shaped slots 221.

[0054] The arc-shaped clip 222 is snapped into the arc-shaped slot 221, thus enhancing the installation strength and ease of disassembly and replacement between the strip adsorption plate 205 and the adsorption box 201.

[0055] Two first T-shaped blocks 311 are fixedly connected to the back of the front mounting plate 301. The two first T-shaped blocks 311 are snapped into the two T-shaped slots 113 at one end of the robot body 101. Two hexagonal shafts 312 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the first T-shaped blocks 311 of the front mounting plate 301. A hexagonal hole 313 is opened at the end of the fixing block 302, and the hexagonal shaft 312 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 313.

[0056] The first T-shaped block 311 is snapped into the T-shaped groove 113, which can improve the installation strength and ease of disassembly and replacement between the front mounting plate 301 and the robot body 101. The hexagonal shaft 312 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 313, which can enhance the installation stability between the pusher plate 304 and the front mounting plate 301, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0057] Two drive shafts 403 are fixedly connected to each other with a plug shaft 411. Both ends of the brush roller 402 are provided with plug holes 412. The plug shaft 411 is inserted into the plug hole 412. Two second T-shaped blocks 413 are fixedly connected to the back of the rear mounting plate 401. The two second T-shaped blocks 413 are snapped into the two T-shaped grooves 113 at the other end of the robot body 101.

[0058] The insertion shaft 411 is inserted into the insertion hole 412, thereby improving the installation stability and ease of disassembly and replacement between the drive shaft 403 and the brush roller 402. The second T-shaped block 413 is snapped into the T-shaped groove 113, thereby improving the installation tightness and ease of disassembly between the rear mounting plate 401 and the robot body 101.

[0059] Example 7 This embodiment provides a method for adsorption-type gripping of cleaning components for a photovoltaic cleaning robot, including the following steps: When performing adsorption-type cleaning of photovoltaic panels, the robot body 101 is first moved at a constant speed by the rubber track 102, enabling it to climb slopes and clean photovoltaic panels in different environments. As the robot body 101 moves, the first fan 104 is activated, rotating the first fan 105. This, combined with the adsorption tank 111, adsorbs dust from the photovoltaic panel surface at the lower end of the robot body 101. Simultaneously, the dust enters the collection box 106 through the first feed trough 107 and the second feed trough 108, thus performing the initial adsorption-type cleaning operation. The baffle plate 112 prevents dust and other particles from accidentally entering the first fan 104 and causing damage. Then, the second fans 203 inside the two adsorption boxes 201 on both sides of the robot body 101 are activated, causing the second fans 202 to rotate. The strip-shaped adsorption plates 205 on both sides of the robot body 101 have an adsorption effect. When the robot body 101 moves, the two push plates 304 at the front of the front mounting plate 301 push dust and other particles from the photovoltaic panel surface to both sides of the robot body 101. As the strip-shaped adsorption plates 205 pass by, they can collect the particles in strips. Accumulated dust is adsorbed into the interior of the strip-shaped adsorption plate 205, thereby expanding the adsorption area and improving adsorption efficiency. As the robot body 101 moves, the first transmission mechanism 307 and the second transmission mechanism 404 are activated. The first motor 3072 in the first transmission mechanism 307 drives the second bevel gear 3073 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 3071 and one of the synchronous pulleys 305 at its lower end to rotate. Together with the synchronous belt 306, this drives the other synchronous pulley 305 to rotate. The two synchronous pulleys 305 drive the synchronous belt 306 and the mounting strip 308 to rotate. At this time, the cleaning brush 309 can rotate to perform a rotary cleaning operation on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Simultaneously, the second motor 4042 in the second transmission mechanism 404 drives the second transmission disk 4043 to rotate. In conjunction with the transmission belt 4044, it can drive the first transmission disk 4041 and one of the transmission shafts 403 on its surface to rotate. As the other transmission shaft 403 rotates, it can drive the brush roller 402 to roll inside the rear mounting plate 401, thereby further cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel and improving the cleaning quality of the gripping mechanism. Therefore, it can enhance the practicality of the gripping mechanism.
