[0002] With the development of the times and technology, people's protection and utilization of resources have become more and more rational and standardized. Among them, photovoltaic technology is one of the most representative technologies, and it has also been widely used in house construction.

[0003] When photovoltaic panels are in use, dust and other impurities will adhere to their surface. If they are not cleaned for a long time, the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels will be affected. However, it is not convenient to clean photovoltaic panels in existing buildings. Most photovoltaic panels in the existing technology are cleaned manually. The manual cleaning operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has slow cleaning efficiency, which increases the operating cost. In addition, there is a risk of workers falling from a high altitude during the cleaning process. Therefore, it is very necessary to invent an all-round photovoltaic panel cleaning device that can automatically clean photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0022] See also Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 It should be noted that the all-round photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment of the present application is installed on the side of the photovoltaic panel. Its detachable installation method allows it to be installed on the photovoltaic panel for a long time, and it can also be installed when it is used, and the installation method is convenient. When the photovoltaic panel needs to be cleaned, the operator opens the valve connecting the water pipe to the cleaning water chamber 31 of the cleaning module 30 to allow the cleaning water to enter the system. At the same time, by controlling the water inlet pressure of the water pipe, the spray pressure of the water outlet pipe 32 is adjusted. Subsequently, water is sprayed onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel from the water outlet pipe 32 connected to the cleaning water chamber 31. At the same time, the driving module 20 is started, driving the cleaning beam 10 to move in the horizontal direction above the photovoltaic panel to ensure that all parts of the photovoltaic panel are sprayed, thereby effectively washing away most of the dust and dirt on the photovoltaic panel.

[0023] See also Figure 2 After flushing, the electronic valve 35 opens to partially block the outlet of the water outlet pipe 32. At the same time, the tilted electronic valve 35 allows the water flow to partially spray upward, thereby flushing the cleaning brush 33 near the outlet. Figure 3 After the flushing is completed, the upper and lower cylinders 34 drive the cleaning brush 33 downward to contact the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Then, the driving module 20 continues to work, driving the cleaning beam 10 to move, and the cleaning brush 33 brushes the photovoltaic panel to ensure that the dirt is wiped off.

[0024] Finally, see Figure 2After the scrubbing is completed, the upper and lower cylinders 34 work again to drive the cleaning brush 33 upward. At the same time, the electronic valve 35 is opened again, partially blocking the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 32, and the water flow partially sprays upward to rinse the cleaning brush 33. After the cleaning brush 33 is rinsed, the electronic valve 35 is closed, and then the water outlet pipe 32 sprays the photovoltaic panel as a whole again to ensure that the photovoltaic panel is thoroughly rinsed. After such a series of operations, the surface of the photovoltaic panel will be thoroughly cleaned and maintained in good working condition. At the same time, the cleaning brush 33 is also cleaned, and there will be no dirt on the surface of the cleaning brush 33, ensuring the next use.

The cleaning beam 10 is arranged on the side of the second sliding member 25 away from the second horizontal slide rail 22.

[0026] See also Figure 1 Specifically, the first horizontal slide rail 21 and the second horizontal slide rail 22 are detachably connected to the frame by bolts. During installation, the first horizontal slide rail 21 and the second horizontal slide rail 22 are fixed to both sides of the photovoltaic panel by bolts, and then the cleaning beam 10 is installed. It should be noted that the cleaning beam 10 is also installed on the first sliding member 24 and the second sliding member 25 by bolts. The detachable connection method also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic panel maintenance or repair and the disassembly and assembly of the all-round photovoltaic panel cleaning device.

The electronic valve 35 is tilted upward to partially block the water outlet. When water is sprayed out from the water outlet, the water is guided by the electronic valve 35, so that the water can move upward, and then the cleaning brush 33 can be sprayed. Furthermore, the second acute angle is 30 to 45 degrees, preferably 30 degrees, so that the water can be better guided and sprayed upward, thereby having a better cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 33.

[0029] See also Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 Preferably, the water outlet pipe 32 is arranged at 45 to 60 degrees with the cleaning beam 10, so that on the one hand, the water outlet pipe 32 can be tilted to flush the photovoltaic panel, so that the cleaning effect is better, and secondly, the range of water spraying is also increased accordingly, which can cover a wider range of photovoltaic panel surfaces, ensuring that the entire photovoltaic panel can be evenly cleaned, thereby improving the thoroughness and efficiency of cleaning.
