[0006] Specifically in this type of cleaning robot, the first-axis walking wheel is used to stick to the upper end surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the second-axis walking wheel is used to stick to the side panel surface of the photovoltaic panel. The first-axis rotating shaft and the second-axis rotating shaft are linked and rotate synchronously through a right-angle conversion linkage gearbox. The drive motor and the right-angle conversion linkage gearbox are coordinated together. When the drive motor drives the gears in the right-angle conversion linkage gearbox to rotate, the first-axis rotating shaft and the second-axis rotating shaft start to rotate. When the first-axis rotating shaft and the second-axis rotating shaft start to rotate, the first-axis walking wheel and the second-axis walking wheel start to operate.
[0007] To sum up, this type of robot is equipped with first-directional walking wheels and second-directional walking wheels, and the first-directional walking wheels and the second-directional walking wheels are in contact with the upper end surface and side end surface of the photovoltaic panel respectively, thereby improving the stability of the entire robot when moving on the photovoltaic panel and reducing the probability of slipping and sliding.
[0008] Optionally, there are two first-direction rotating shafts, the two first-direction rotating shafts are in a parallel and non-contacting state, and pulleys are installed on the first-direction rotating shafts, and the two pulleys are matched together by a synchronous belt.
[0009] Optionally, there are two second-direction rotating shafts, the two second-direction rotating shafts are in a parallel and non-contacting state, and pulleys are installed on the second-direction rotating shafts, and the two pulleys are matched together through a synchronous belt.
[0010] Specifically, the two first-direction rotating shafts are linked by pulleys and a synchronous belt, and the two second-direction rotating shafts are linked by a synchronous belt and a pulley.

[0013] Specifically, the spring and the idler wheel are respectively located on both sides of the pin shaft. The spring has a tendency to drive the rotating plate to rotate. When the rotating plate rotates, it has a tendency to make the idler wheel press against the synchronous belt to ensure that the synchronous belt is always in a taut state.
[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that by arranging the first-direction walking wheel and the second-direction walking wheel, the first-direction walking wheel and the second-direction walking wheel respectively contact the upper end surface and the side end surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the stability of the entire robot when moving on the photovoltaic panel and reducing the probability of slipping and sliding.

The first rotation shaft 12 and the second rotation shaft 13 are linked by a right-angle conversion linkage gear box, and the driving motor 7 cooperates with the right-angle conversion linkage gear box.
[0022] Specifically in this type of cleaning robot, the first directional walking wheel 2 is used to stick to the upper end surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the second directional walking wheel 3 is used to stick to the side panel surface of the photovoltaic panel. The first directional rotating shaft 12 and the second directional rotating shaft 13 are linked and rotated synchronously through a right-angle conversion linkage gear box. The drive motor 7 is matched with the right-angle conversion linkage gear box. When the drive motor 7 drives the gears in the right-angle conversion linkage gear box to rotate, the first directional rotating shaft 12 and the second directional rotating shaft 13 start to rotate. When the first directional rotating shaft 12 and the second directional rotating shaft 13 start to rotate, the first directional walking wheel 2 and the second directional walking wheel 3 start to operate.
[0023] In summary, this type of robot is provided with a first-directional walking wheel 2 and a second-directional walking wheel 3. The first-directional walking wheel 2 and the second-directional walking wheel 3 are in contact with the upper end surface and the side end surface of the photovoltaic panel respectively, thereby improving the stability of the entire robot when moving on the photovoltaic panel and reducing the probability of slipping and sliding.
[0024] In this robot, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are linked via a right-angle conversion linkage gear box 14, and the structure is more compact and reasonable.
[0025] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 And attached Figure 4 As shown, there are two first-direction rotating shafts 12 , and the two first-direction rotating shafts 12 are in a parallel and non-contacting state.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 And attached Figure 4 As shown, there are two second-direction rotating shafts 13 , and the two second-direction rotating shafts 13 are in a parallel and non-contacting state. Pulleys 5 are installed on the second-direction rotating shafts 13 , and the two pulleys 5 are matched together through a synchronous belt 6 .
[0027] Specifically, the two first-direction rotating shafts 12 are linked to each other through the pulley 5 and the synchronous belt 6 , and the two second-direction rotating shafts 13 are linked to each other through the synchronous belt 6 and the pulley 5 .
[0028] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 And attached Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an idler wheel 11 mechanism, which is arranged on the base 4 and cooperates with the synchronous belt 6.
