Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel cleaning, and in particular to a robot parking platform and a robot parking system. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic panels use the voltaic effect of semiconductor materials under light conditions to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. To ensure power generation efficiency, photovoltaic panels are often tilted at an angle relative to the horizontal plane. Photovoltaic panels are installed outdoors, so dust or other attachments are easily accumulated on the surface of the panels, resulting in reduced power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels.

[0003] When multiple photovoltaic panels are arranged to form a photovoltaic panel array, one or two photovoltaic panels are arranged as a unit along their length, and the above units are arrayed along the width direction of the photovoltaic panels to form a photovoltaic panel array. The surface of the photovoltaic panel needs to be cleaned regularly. In order to reduce the cost of manual cleaning and improve cleaning efficiency, various cleaning robots are usually used to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel in the prior art. A common type is a track-type robot that extends from the upper end of the photovoltaic panel array to the lower end thereof and can move horizontally on the photovoltaic panel array. A roller brush is provided at the bottom of the track-type robot to clean the panel during movement.

[0004] Photovoltaic panels are installed on the ground through panel brackets, and adjacent photovoltaic panels are connected in sequence. Since the photovoltaic panel array is laid over a large area, there are many depressions and protrusions on the ground, so it can only be kept flat in a certain area, and it is impossible to ensure that the entire installation ground is a highly consistent flat surface. One end of the photovoltaic panel at the edge is idle, and the bracket stability of the photovoltaic panel is poor, and its idle end is prone to sagging or deformation.

[0005] In the prior art, after the track-mounted robot has cleaned the photovoltaic panel array, it is necessary to manually disassemble the track-mounted robot from the photovoltaic panel array, wasting labor costs; or the track-mounted robot is parked on the photovoltaic panel array. The track-mounted robot presses on the photovoltaic panel array for a long time, which may damage the photovoltaic panel, and the track-mounted robot will also block direct sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic panel array, affecting the power generation efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, the distance sensor 230 includes an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc., which is used to obtain in real time the distance between the distance sensor 230 installed at the bottom of the robot 200 and the photovoltaic panel array 100, the first frame 301 and the second frame 303. In this embodiment, an ultrasonic sensor is used, which includes a transmitting surface and a receiving surface, facing the direction of the photovoltaic panel array 100 and parallel to the photovoltaic panel array 100.

[0039] When a certain ultrasonic distance sensor has a signal, it indicates that the position where the distance sensor is located is not suspended in the air. When a certain ultrasonic distance sensor has no signal, it indicates that the part of the vehicle body where the distance sensor is located is suspended in the air.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a robot parking platform 300, including a first platform 310 and a cleaning device 311. The first platform 310 is connected to the first end of a photovoltaic panel array 100; the photovoltaic panel array 100 extends along the horizontal direction; the cleaning device 311 is fixed above the first platform 310; the first platform 310 includes two or more first straight rods 312 that are parallel to each other and extend in the horizontal direction, and a first rectangular frame 313. The first end of each first straight rod 312 is connected to the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the second end of the first straight rod 312 extends away from the photovoltaic panel array 100; the first rectangular frame 313 includes a first long side 314 and a first short side 315. One first long side 314 is fixed to the first end of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the first rectangular frame 313 is fixed above the first straight rod 312, enabling the robot 200 to move from the photovoltaic panel array 100 to the first platform 310, avoiding the need for manual disassembly or directly parking on the photovoltaic panel array 100 after the robot 200 cleans the photovoltaic panel array 100, wasting manpower and affecting the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel array 100.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, the cleaning device 311 includes two or more second straight rods 316 that are parallel to each other and a U-shaped frame 317. The second straight rods 314 are vertically connected to the upper surface of the first rectangular frame 313, and the second straight rods 316 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane where the first rectangular frame 313 is located; the U-shaped frame 317 includes a second long side 318 and a second short side 319. The second short side 319 is fixedly connected to the middle parts of two or more second straight rods 316, and the U-shaped frame 317 is parallel to the first platform 310. When the robot 200 is parked on the first platform 310, the robot 200 is located between the U-shaped frame 317 and the first platform 310.

[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the cleaning device 311 includes a scraper 320 and a brush 321. The scraper 320 is fixed to the second long side 318 and extends downward, and the scraper 320 is perpendicular to the first platform 310; the brush 321 is fixed to the second long side 318, and the bristles of the brush 321 extend downward. When the robot 200 moves below the cleaning frame 311, the scraper 320 and the brush 321 can contact the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first vehicle body 210, cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first vehicle body 210, ensuring the power generation efficiency of the robot 200 itself and enabling the robot 200 to always maintain sufficient power.

[0043] As Figure 3As shown, the cleaning device 311 includes a first pulling rope 322 and a second pulling rope 323. One end of the first pulling rope 322 is fixed to the end of the second straight rod 316 away from the first rectangular frame 313, and the other end of the first pulling rope 322 is fixed to the C-shaped frame 317. One end of the second pulling rope 323 is fixed to one second straight rod 316, and the other end of the second pulling rope 323 is fixed to the other second straight rod 316. Specifically, both ends of the second pulling rope 323 are respectively fixed to the middle parts of two third straight rods 315. The design of the first pulling rope 322 and the second pulling rope 323 is used to increase the rigidity of the overall structure of the cleaning frame 311.

[0044] As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the first platform 310 further includes a first positioning plate 324. One end of the first positioning plate 324 is fixed to the first end of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the other end of the first positioning plate 324 is fixed to the first long side 314 of the first rectangular frame 313 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100. The first positioning plate 324 includes a first positioning hole 326, a second positioning hole 327, and a third positioning hole 328. The first positioning hole 326 is arranged at the end of the first positioning plate 324 close to the photovoltaic panel array 100. The second positioning hole 327 is arranged at the end of the first positioning plate 324 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100. The third positioning 327 hole is arranged between the first positioning hole 326 and the second positioning hole 327. Among them, there is a first top plate 329 between the first positioning hole 326 and the third positioning hole 328, and there is a second top plate 330 between the second positioning hole 327 and the third positioning hole 328.

[0045] The first platform 310 further includes a first limiting strip 325. The first limiting strip 325 is perpendicular to the first rectangular frame 313, and the first limiting strip 325 is arranged at the end of the first short side 315 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100. When the distance sensor 230 is damaged, the robot 200 cannot judge its own position, preventing the robot 200 from continuing to move forward and thus disengaging from the first platform 310.

[0046] In the present embodiment, when the robot 200 is located on the first platform 310, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 changes from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 0, and the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the second vehicle body 220 changes from 1 to 0, that is, the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 first passes through the first positioning hole 326, at which time the signal received by the distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0, when the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 moves from the first positioning hole 326 to the first top plate 329, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 changes from 0 to 1, when the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 moves from the first top plate 329 to the third positioning hole 328, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 changes from 1 to 0, and when the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 When moving from the third positioning hole 328 to the second top plate 330, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 changes from 0 to 1. When the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 moves from the second top plate 330 to the second positioning hole 327, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0. When the distance sensor 230 of the second vehicle body 220 moves to the first platform 310, it is in a suspended state. Through the changes in the signals received by the two distance sensors 230, it is judged that the robot 200 is located on the first platform 310. When the signal received by the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 changes to 0 for the third time, the robot 200 will calculate the distance moved by the distance sensor 230 in the second positioning hole 327, and then judge whether the first vehicle body 210 is completely located in the cleaning frame 311, to ensure that the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first vehicle body 210 is cleaned.

[0047] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 6As shown, the parking platform 300 of the robot 200 also includes a second platform 340, and the second platform 340 is connected to the second end of the photovoltaic panel array 100; the second platform 340 includes more than two third straight rods 341 that are parallel to each other and extend in the horizontal direction, and a second rectangular frame 342; the first end of each third straight rod 341 is connected to the lower surface of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the second end of each third straight rod 341 extends in a direction away from the photovoltaic panel array 100; the second rectangular frame 342 includes a third long side 343 and a third short side 344, ... short side 344 and a third short side 344. The three long sides 343 are fixed to the second end of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the second rectangular frame 342 is fixed to the top of the third straight rod 341. In the present embodiment, the third short side 344 is shorter than the first long side 314, so the second rectangular frame 342 is not used for parking the robot 200. Instead, when the robot 200 determines that it is on the second platform 340, it will stop working and restart to move away from the second platform 340 until it moves to the first platform 310. Therefore, the area of ​​the plane where the second rectangular frame 342 is located will be smaller, saving material costs.

[0048] The second platform 340 also includes a second positioning plate 345, one end of which is fixed to the second end of the photovoltaic panel array 100, and the other end of the second positioning plate 345 is fixed to the third long side 343 of the second rectangular frame 342 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100; the second positioning plate 345 includes a fourth positioning hole 347 and a fifth positioning hole 348, the fourth positioning hole 347 is located at one end of the second positioning plate 345 close to the photovoltaic panel array 100; the fifth positioning hole 348 is located at the end of the second positioning plate 345 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100 one end; wherein, there is a third top plate 349 between the fourth positioning hole 347 and the fifth positioning hole 348, and the second positioning plate 345 can be one or two. In the present embodiment, two second positioning plates 345 are included. When the robot 200 is on the second platform 340, the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 and the distance sensor 230 of the second vehicle body 220 pass over one second positioning plate 345 respectively, and the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 and the distance sensor 230 of the second vehicle body 220 synchronously change their signals.

[0049] The second platform also includes a second limiting bar 346, which is perpendicular to the second rectangular frame 342 and is disposed at an end of the third short side 344 away from the photovoltaic panel array 100. The technical effects of the second limiting bar 346 and the first limiting bar 325 are consistent and will not be repeated here.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the robot 200 is located on the second platform 340, the distance sensor 230 of the first vehicle body 210 and the distance sensor 230 of the second vehicle body 220 first pass through the fourth positioning hole 347. At this time, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0. When the distance sensor 230 moves from the fourth positioning hole 347 to the third top plate 349, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 changes from 0 to 1. When the distance sensor 230 moves from the third top plate 349 to the fifth positioning hole 348, the signal received by the distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0. Through the changes in the signals received by the distance sensors 230 of the first vehicle body 210 and the distance sensors 230 of the second vehicle body 220, it is determined that the robot 200 is located on the second platform 340. At this time, the robot 200 is powered off and restarted, so that the robot 200 moves in a direction away from the second platform 340 until the robot 200 moves to the first platform 310.

[0051] In the application scenario of this embodiment, for example, the first platform 310 and the second platform 340 are installed at both ends of a photovoltaic panel array 100 , and after the robot 200 finishes cleaning, the robot 200 moves toward the first platform 310 or the second platform 340 .

[0052] When the robot 200 moves toward the direction approaching the first platform 310, when the feedback signals obtained by the first distance sensor 230 and the second distance sensor 230 are always 1, it is judged that the robot 200 is above the photovoltaic panel array 100, and there is no need to send instructions to the robot 200. The robot 200 maintains the original direction of travel and continues to move. The feedback signal obtained by the first distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 0, and the feedback signal obtained by the second distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0 and remains unchanged at subsequent time points, it is judged that the robot 200 is above the first platform 310; when the feedback signal obtained by the first distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, then from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 0, it is judged that the robot 200 is above the first platform 310. The first distance sensor 230 is located in the second positioning hole 327. When it is determined that the first distance sensor 230 of the robot 200 is located in the second positioning hole 327, the distance moved by the first distance sensor 230 in the second positioning hole 327 is calculated. When the distance reaches a preset threshold, a stop command is output to the robot 200. During the movement of the robot 200 on the first platform 310, the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first body 210 is in direct contact with the scraper 320 and the brush 321 of the cleaning frame 311. The scraper 320 and the brush 321 clean the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first body 210. When the robot 200 leaves the first platform 310, the scraper 320 and the brush 321 clean the photovoltaic panel 110 on the top of the first body 210 for a second time.

[0053] When the robot 200 moves toward the direction approaching the second platform 340, when the feedback signals obtained by the first distance sensor 230 and the second distance sensor 230 are always 1, it is judged that the robot 200 is above the photovoltaic panel array 100, and there is no need to send instructions to the robot 200. The robot 200 maintains the original direction of travel and continues to move. When the feedback signal obtained by the first distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 0, and the feedback signal obtained by the second distance sensor 230 changes from 1 to 0, then from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 0, it is judged that the robot 200 is above the second platform 340, and a stop command is output and the robot 200 is restarted, so that the robot 200 starts to move toward the direction approaching the first platform 310 until the robot 200 moves onto the first platform 310. When the robot 200 moves onto the first platform 310, the signal on the first platform 310 is re-obtained and the instruction on the first platform 310 is executed.

[0054] The advantage of the present application is that it provides a robot parking platform and a robot parking system, which are used to park a track-type robot by installing a first platform and a second platform at both ends of a photovoltaic panel array. The first platform is used for robot parking and self-cleaning, and the second platform is used to help the robot rebound and find the first platform for parking. A scraper and a brush are provided on the first platform to clean the photovoltaic panel on the top of the robot, thereby ensuring the robot's own power generation efficiency and maintaining sufficient power. The design of the platform does not require manual disassembly of the robot, thereby preventing the robot from being parked directly on the photovoltaic panel array, saving manpower while not causing damage to the photovoltaic panel array and affecting the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel array.

[0055] A robot parking platform and a robot parking system provided in an embodiment of the present invention are introduced in detail above.
