Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic coating, and in particular comprises a crawling mechanism suitable for hanging rails. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of renewable energy, photovoltaic panels play an increasingly important role in electricity production. In order to improve the installation density and power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels, the rail-mounted installation method has gradually become the mainstream. The rail-mounted installation not only saves ground space, but also better adapts to complex terrain and climatic conditions. However, this installation method also brings a series of challenges, especially in the maintenance and repair of photovoltaic panels.

[0003] Since photovoltaic panels are usually installed at high locations and in large numbers, traditional maintenance and repair methods are often inefficient and costly. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a photovoltaic panel crawling mechanism that can be applied to the hanging rail. This crawling mechanism needs to be able to move stably and efficiently on the hanging rail, while being able to easily reach each photovoltaic panel for daily maintenance and repair work.

[0004] In addition, the design of the crawling mechanism also needs to take into account the safety and stability of the photovoltaic panels. During the movement, the mechanism cannot cause damage to the photovoltaic panels, nor can it affect their normal operation. At the same time, the mechanism itself also needs to have high stability and reliability to ensure that it can work normally under severe weather conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a crawling mechanism suitable for hanging rails.

[0006] The crawling mechanism suitable for hanging rails comprises: an outer frame of the crawling mechanism, a driving roller, a vertical smooth idler wheel and a horizontal smooth idler wheel, wherein the outer frame of the crawling mechanism is sleeved on the rail; a support plate is fixedly arranged on one side of the outer frame of the crawling mechanism perpendicular to the length direction of the rail, and two ends of the support plate at the same height are respectively connected with a spring module through a spring stud, and the driving roller is supported by a motor wheel and arranged between the two spring modules;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The description of the following embodiments is only used to help understand the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary people in this technical field, the utility model can also be modified in some ways without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.

[0022] As an example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the crawling mechanism suitable for hanging rails includes: an outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism, a driving roller 6, a vertical smooth idler wheel 8 and a horizontal smooth idler wheel 10. The outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism is mounted on the rail, and the crawling mechanism as a whole moves along the length direction of the rail during crawling.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support plate 18 is fixedly provided on one side of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism perpendicular to the length direction of the track, and a spring module is connected to the support plate 18 at the same height on one side of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism through a spring stud, and the driving roller 6 is arranged between the two spring modules through the motor wheel support 7.

[0024] Specifically, the spring module includes a spring module lower support 4 and a spring module upper support 5. The top of the spring module lower support 4 is fixed to the end of the motor wheel support 7. The spring module upper support 5 is arranged on the side of the spring module lower support 4 away from the support plate 18. The spring stud passes through the spring module lower support 4, one end extends from the spring module upper support 5, and the other end rests on the support plate 18.

[0025] The top of the spring module lower support 4 is connected to the motor wheel support 7 through a stud with a compression spring, and an arc-shaped fixing plate is provided at the bottom of the spring module lower support 4. The arc-shaped fixing plates of the spring module lower supports 4 on both sides are arranged facing each other and are fixedly connected to the motor 17 housing. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to the lower end of the drive roller 6 shaft, and the upper end of the drive roller 6 shaft is rotatably connected to the motor wheel support 7.

[0026] When the spring stud between the spring module and the support plate 18 rotates, the spring module moves in a direction perpendicular to the length of the track, thereby driving the motor 17, the drive roller 6 and the motor wheel support 7 to move synchronously to achieve fine-tuning of the position. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the spring stud, so after the position is determined, it can still be automatically adjusted according to the bumps and fluctuations of the track during the actual crawling process. The spring stud is arranged between the spring module and the support plate 18, which provides a pressing force to the drive roller 6 toward one side of the track, which is beneficial to maintaining the stable operation of the crawling mechanism.

[0027] The vertical smooth idler wheel 8 and the horizontal smooth idler wheel 10 are both arranged below the top surface of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism, and the vertical smooth idler wheel 8 is supported above the track; the horizontal smooth idler wheel 10 and the driving roller 6 roll on both sides of the track respectively.

[0028] In this embodiment, two idler wheel supports 9 are fixedly provided below the top surface of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism along the length direction of the track. The idler wheel supports 9 include a bottom plate and a side plate. The top of the side plate of the idler wheel support 9 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism. A through hole is opened on the bottom plate corresponding to the vertical smooth idler wheel 8. The rotating shaft of the vertical smooth idler wheel 8 is connected to the side plate. The bottom of the vertical smooth idler wheel 8 extends from the through hole to the bottom of the bottom plate and is supported on the upper surface of the track to support the weight of the entire crawling mechanism, effectively reducing the friction force of the crawling mechanism when it moves along the length direction of the track; the rotating shaft of the horizontal smooth idler wheel 10 is connected to the bottom plate, and the height of the horizontal smooth idler wheel 10 is lower than the bottom of the vertical smooth idler wheel 8, corresponding to the height of the side of the track.

[0029] The two idler supports 9 are symmetrically arranged, and the idler supports 9 are fixedly connected by reinforcing ribs 11. The two horizontal smooth idler wheels 10 arranged on the two idler supports 9 are located on one side of the track, and the driving roller 6 is located on the other side of the track, sandwiching the track from both sides to prevent the crawling mechanism from falling off the track; when the crawling mechanism is running, the driving roller 6 is used as the driving wheel, and the vertical smooth idler wheel 8 and the horizontal smooth idler wheel 10 are both driven wheels, so that the crawling mechanism can crawl along the track.

[0030] A spray module connecting plate 3 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism. The spray module connecting plate 3 is perpendicular to the length direction of the track. Both ends of the spray module connecting plate 3 extend to the outside of the outer frame 1 of the crawling mechanism and are provided with screw holes for optional installation of a spray module under the crawling mechanism. The spray module can also be replaced by other operating modules to meet different work requirements.
