[0014] Optionally, it also includes a nozzle and a second scraper, the second scraper is arranged on the tracked vehicle, and the nozzle is arranged on the tracked vehicle.

[0015] The specific function of the second scraper is to scrape and clean the photovoltaic panel. The specific second nozzle can be rotated relative to the tracked vehicle. The second nozzle is used to spray liquid on the photovoltaic panel. When the tracked vehicle drags the mounting frame forward, the second nozzle first sprays some liquid in the direction of the tracked vehicle, and then the second scraper scrapes the photovoltaic panel first.

[0016] Specifically, a liquid storage tank and a water pump are arranged in the crawler vehicle of this type of cleaner. The liquid storage tank stores liquid, and the water pump is used to transport the liquid to the nozzle and the nozzle.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes an electronically controlled battery assembly, which is arranged on the tracked vehicle.
