Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning robots, in particular to an intelligent cleaning robot for high-risk smooth structure surfaces. Background Art

[0002] After searching the Chinese patent document with the existing announcement number CN215584054U, a curtain wall glass cleaning robot is disclosed, including a robot body, which is used for cleaning the curtain wall glass; a drum unit, which is arranged on the roof or indoors, and the drum unit is connected to the robot body through a steel wire hose, and the steel wire hose is used to prevent the robot body from falling, and the steel wire hose is also used to supply water to the robot body; a controller, which wirelessly communicates with the robot body, and the controller is used to control the movement of the robot body. The device protects the robot body from falling by setting a drum unit, and the pre-tensioning device ensures that the hose will not continue to drop and can also serve as a safety rope to prevent the robot from falling due to failure, thereby improving safety.

[0003] At present, with the continuous innovation of the height of urban high-rise buildings, the energy consumption of urban buildings is also increasing. Driven by the carbon peak and carbon neutrality policy, the roofs and curtain walls of high-rise buildings are gradually being replaced by photovoltaic panels and photovoltaic glass instead of ordinary glass. Due to the characteristics of the tall and energy-intensive urban rail transit buildings, they have been included in the category of large-scale high-energy-consuming buildings in the city. Due to the tall characteristics of urban rail transit buildings, the roofs and curtain walls of their photovoltaic panels or photovoltaic glass belong to a kind of high-risk smooth structural surface. After long-term operation, the fine dust particles, dust, and debris attached to their surfaces will affect the transmittance of light, and then affect the amount of radiation received by the surface of the photovoltaic module, reducing the power generation efficiency; and the local obstruction of stains such as surface mud and debris will cause local hot spot effects on photovoltaic panels or photovoltaic glass, affecting the power generation efficiency and causing the main photovoltaic components to burn. Therefore, in order to improve the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels or photovoltaic glass, it is necessary to regularly clean the photovoltaic panels or photovoltaic glass on the roofs and curtain walls of urban rail transit buildings. Due to the special characteristics of the material and installation location of photovoltaic panels or photovoltaic glass, which have high space, large area, and complex structure, manual cleaning is not suitable. The existing cleaning methods are rail cleaning, vehicle-mounted cleaning, adsorption cleaning, and high-pressure cleaning. Among these four methods, rail cleaning is not suitable for high-risk smooth structures of urban rail transit buildings due to its high installation cost, easy corrosion and damage, and affects the firmness of roofs and curtain walls; vehicle-mounted cleaning cannot completely clean tall and large buildings such as rail transit, and is easy to damage photovoltaic modules during the cleaning process; adsorption cleaning has slow movement efficiency and poor cleaning effect, which is not practical for tall urban rail buildings; high-pressure spray gun cleaning has high water pressure. In actual application, the damage rate of photovoltaic groups after each cleaning reaches more than 8%, and at the same time affects the firmness of high-risk smooth structures of rail transit buildings, resulting in poor cleaning effect, poor practicality, high cost, low efficiency, and easy damage to photovoltaic modules on the surfaces of high-risk smooth structures such as the tops and curtain walls of tall and large buildings.

[0036] Working principle: The intelligent cleaning robot for high-risk smooth structure surface flies to the high-risk smooth structure surface according to the cleaning target coordinate position, preset height and route, scans the target structure surface and the surrounding environment through the laser radar group 4 and the depth camera group 9 of the visual module, and autonomously constructs the navigation map and automatically plans the cleaning route according to the calculation and analysis of the image data through the flight control module 3. The crawling cleaning control module 10 makes the whole body start to move, and cooperates with the cleaning device to clean the high-risk smooth structure surface. The cleaning process is divided into two parts. First, the dust suction component 16 absorbs dust and debris on the surface of the structure. After the dust and debris are cleaned, the water pipe 14 and the nozzle 15 are combined with the water pump to make the water spray component spray water, and the cleaning component wipes and cleans the dust and debris. The visual module collects images of the cleaned high-risk smooth structure surface and judges whether the cleaning meets the standard. If not, the control module issues a second cleaning instruction. The visual module continues to identify the cleaning effect. If it meets the standard, the control module controls the crawling drive device, combines the autonomous navigation map to automatically plan a new cleaning route and move forward to clean the next area. A liquid level detection component is installed in the water tank 1. After the flight control module 3 receives the lower threshold data detected by the liquid level detection component, it issues a return command, and the flight drive device starts to operate the fuselage 2 and the wing 5, and returns to the ground from the high-risk smooth structure; after the flight control module 3 receives the lower threshold data detected by the power detection component, it issues a return command, and the flight drive device starts to operate, returns to the ground from the surface of the high-risk smooth structure, and then adds water or charges. After the water addition or charging is completed, it returns to the area where the cleaning was completed last time according to the autonomous navigation map, and continues cleaning. The overall intelligent cleaning robot realizes flying and crawling modes that cooperate with each other and move alternately, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect and effectively reduce damage to photovoltaic components. In conjunction with the visual module, the cleaning efficiency is improved and the cleaning effect is guaranteed.
