[0034] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a plurality of first cleaning mechanisms 200 and a plurality of second cleaning mechanisms 300 arranged side by side.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model selects a combination of two first cleaning mechanisms 200 + two second cleaning mechanisms 300. Considering that the cleaning device relies on a stick brush and a wiping member for cleaning, the selection of multiple mechanisms can increase the cleaning effect.
[0036] Preferably, the two second cleaning mechanisms 300 are arranged side by side and are both located between the two first cleaning mechanisms 200 .

[0039] Preferably, the first cleaning mechanism 200 includes a stick brush 201, an adjustable speed motor 203 and a synchronous belt 202, and the axis of the stick brush 201 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the frame 100 in the solar photovoltaic panel.
[0040] Preferably, the first cleaning mechanism 200 includes two parallel stick brushes 201, and the first cleaning mechanism 200 also includes an adjustable speed motor 203 and a synchronous belt 202; the two stick brushes 201 are connected to the synchronous belt 202, and the synchronous belt 202 is connected to the adjustable speed motor 203, and the adjustable speed motor 203 transmits power to enable the two stick brushes 201 to rotate synchronously.
[0041] In the utility model embodiment of the present application, the first cleaning mechanism 200 includes two parallel stick brushes 201, which can increase the cleaning effect of the cleaning device by increasing the contact area between the stick brush 201 and the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, and the two stick brushes 201 are connected by a synchronous belt 202 to achieve synchronous rotation, which can ensure that the two stick brushes 201 are wiped in one direction when the adjustable speed motor 203 works, and there will be no mutual interference resulting in a deterioration of the cleaning effect.
[0042] Preferably, the second cleaning mechanism 300 includes a wiping member and an actuating member, and the actuating member can drive the wiping member to move back and forth and wipe along a longitudinal direction parallel to the forward direction of the frame 100 in the solar photovoltaic panel.
