In addition, when detecting cracks and dust thickness on the surface of photovoltaic panels, since the detection head on the inspection vehicle cannot extend above the photovoltaic panels for detection, the detection is not accurate enough and the use effect is poor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 7 A solar photovoltaic power station inspection vehicle includes a chassis 1, an installation cavity 18 is opened inside the chassis 1, a controller 4 is also installed inside the installation cavity 18, a wireless transceiver 34 is also installed inside the installation cavity 18, the wireless transceiver 34 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire, and the controller 4 is connected to an external device through a wireless network, a 4G signal, and a 5G signal through the wireless transceiver 34, and the controller 4 is a control mainboard or a host.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, track wheels 25 are installed on both sides of the chassis 1, and drive motors 33 are installed on both sides of the installation cavity 18. The output shaft of each drive motor 33 is connected to the corresponding track wheel 25, and each drive motor 33 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. The drive motor 33 can drive the track wheel 25 to work, so that the chassis 1 can move along the ground, and when turning is required, it is only necessary to control the speed of the two drive motors 33 to be different through the controller 4, so that a differential speed can be generated between the two track wheels 25, and the chassis 1 can complete the turn.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a mounting seat 5 is installed on the top of the chassis 1, and two strip-shaped fixing seats 19 are symmetrically installed on the top of the mounting seat 5. One end between the two strip-shaped fixing seats 19 is rotatably connected with a first connecting rod 6, and second support rods 21 are installed on the side surfaces of both ends of the first connecting rod 6. A second moving rod 31 is provided at the other end between the two strip-shaped fixing seats 19, and both ends of the second moving rod 31 are rotatably connected with first sliders 26. Each first slider 26 is slidably connected to a guide rail fixed on the side surface of the corresponding strip-shaped fixing seat 19. In actual use, the cooperation between the guide rail and the first slider 26 can limit the second moving rod 31, so that the second moving rod 31 will not fall off during the movement.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, first support rods 17 are installed on the side surfaces of both ends of the second movable rod 31, and the first support rods 17 and the second support rods 21 located on the same side are arranged alternately, and the side surfaces of the second movable rod 31 are connected to the third telescopic mechanism 30 through a hinge seat, and a fixed rod 16 is installed between the two second support rods 21, and the other end of the third telescopic mechanism 30 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 16, and the third telescopic mechanism 30 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. In actual use, the fixed rod 16 can be pushed by the third telescopic mechanism 30, and then the inclination angle between the staggered first support rods 17 and the second support rods 21 can be adjusted, so that the inclination angle of the first support rod 17 and the second support rod 21 can be adjusted according to the high end of the photovoltaic panel.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a movable plate 10 is provided above the mounting seat 5, and strip mounting plates 29 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the movable plate 10, and the top of each pair of first support rods 17 is rotatably connected to the strip mounting plate 29 through the second connecting rod 20, and the top of each pair of second support rods 21 is connected through the first movable rod 28, and the two ends of the first movable rod 28 are rotatably connected to the second slider 27, and each second slider 27 is slidably connected to the guide rail installed on the side of the corresponding strip mounting plate 29. In actual use, the third telescopic mechanism 30 can adjust the inclination angle of the first support rod 17 and the second support rod 21 during the telescopic process, which will cause the first slider 26 to move horizontally along the strip fixing seat 19 under the action of the guide rail, and the second slider 27 to move horizontally along the strip mounting plate 29 under the action of the guide rail, so that the height of the movable plate 10 can be adjusted.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a fixed plate 13 is installed on the top of the movable plate 10 through a bracket, and infrared ranging sensors 12 are installed at both ends of the top of the fixed plate 13. The infrared ranging sensor 12 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. In actual use, the infrared ranging sensor 12 can detect the distance between the fixed plate 13 and the photovoltaic panel, and transmit the detection data to the controller 4. The controller 4 moves the fixed plate 13 to a preset height through the third telescopic mechanism 30.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one infrared temperature sensor 14 is installed on one side of the top of the fixing plate 13, and at least one second camera 15 is installed on the other side of the top of the fixing plate 13. The infrared temperature sensor 14 and the second camera 15 are connected to the controller 4 through wires. In actual use, the chassis 1 travels under the photovoltaic panel under the action of the track wheels 25. The infrared temperature sensor 14 and the second camera 15 can shoot and detect the wiring at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel, and transmit the detection data to the controller 4 for processing. The controller 4 then transmits the received data to the external device through the wireless transceiver 34 for observation by the staff.

[0039] It should be noted that if Figure 6 As shown, the fixed plate 13 is tilted, and the tilt angle of the fixed plate 13 is the same as the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel. In actual use, since the photovoltaic panel will have a certain tilt angle when it is laid, the infrared temperature sensor 14 and the second camera 15 on the fixed plate 13 can be kept within a preset distance from the photovoltaic panel during use, which can improve the detection effect.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a U-shaped seat 24 with an opening upward is installed on one side of the top of the mounting seat 5, and a connecting sleeve 23 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped seat 24. A sliding rod 11 is provided inside the connecting sleeve 23, and one end of the sliding rod 11 extends to the outside of the connecting sleeve 23. A first mounting plate 8 is installed on the end of the sliding rod 11 away from the connecting sleeve 23. A first camera 7 is installed at the bottom of the first mounting plate 8. The first camera 7 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. In actual use, the first camera 7 can shoot the top of the photovoltaic panel and transmit the shooting data to the controller 4, and the controller 4 then transmits the data to an external device through a wireless transceiver 34 for observation and processing by the staff.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a second telescopic mechanism 9 is installed on the side of the first mounting plate 8, the other end of the second telescopic mechanism 9 is fixed on the second mounting plate 22, and the second mounting plate 22 is fixed on the side of the connecting sleeve 23, and the second telescopic mechanism 9 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. In actual use, the extension of the second telescopic mechanism 9 can push the slide bar 11 to move, and move the first camera 7 to the top of the photovoltaic panel to shoot and detect the dust thickness and cracks on the upper surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 3 is provided at the top of the mounting seat 5, and a first telescopic mechanism 2 is rotatably connected inside the receiving groove 3. The top of the first telescopic mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second mounting plate 22. The first telescopic mechanism 2 is connected to the controller 4 through a wire. In actual use, the inclination angle of the connecting sleeve 23 and the sliding rod 11 can be adjusted by telescoping the first telescopic mechanism 2, so that during detection, the sliding rod 11 can remain parallel to the photovoltaic panel, thereby increasing the detection effect of the first camera 7.

[0043] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the accommodating groove 3 is located below the sliding rod 11. When the sliding rod 11 and the connecting sleeve 23 are rotated to a horizontal position, the first camera 7 is located in the accommodating groove 3. After the detection is completed, the controller 4 can control the second telescopic mechanism 9 to retract and move the sliding rod 11 toward the connecting sleeve 23. When the side of the first mounting plate 8 contacts the end of the connecting sleeve 23, the second telescopic mechanism 9 stops retracting, and the controller 4 then controls the first telescopic mechanism 2 to retract and move the first camera 7 into the accommodating groove 3 for storage.

[0044] It should be noted that the first telescopic mechanism 2 , the second telescopic mechanism 9 and the third telescopic mechanism 30 are all electric push rods or hydraulic push rods.

[0045] Specifically, when the utility model is in use, when detecting the bottom of the photovoltaic panel, the staff controls the chassis 1 to move to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel through the controller 4, and the infrared distance sensor 12 detects the distance between the top of the fixed plate 13 and the bottom of the photovoltaic panel. After receiving the data transmitted by the infrared distance sensor 12, the controller 4 controls the third telescopic mechanism 30 to work. The telescopic third mechanism 30 can drive the fixed rod 16 to move, and then adjust the angle of the first support rod 17 and the second support rod 21, so that the distance between the fixed plate 13 and the photovoltaic panel finally reaches the preset value. Then the controller 4 controls the infrared temperature sensor 14 and the second camera 15 to work, detect the wiring condition and the temperature of the wiring terminal at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel, and detect the wiring condition and the temperature of the wiring terminal at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel. After the data is transmitted to the controller 4, it is transmitted to the external device through the wireless transceiver 34 for observation and analysis by the staff. When it is necessary to detect the top of the photovoltaic panel, the controller 4 moves the chassis 1 to the lower end of the photovoltaic panel array through the track wheel 25, and then the track wheel 25 moves parallel to the photovoltaic panel array. While moving, the controller 4 controls the first telescopic mechanism 2 to extend, and the first telescopic mechanism 2 pushes the connecting sleeve 23 to rotate, so that the connecting sleeve 23 and the slide rod 11 rotate to be parallel to the photovoltaic panel array. Then the controller 4 controls the second telescopic mechanism 9 to extend, and the second telescopic mechanism 9 pushes the slide rod 11 to move, so that the first camera 7 moves to the top of the photovoltaic panel array to shoot and detect cracks and dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0046] Furthermore, Figure 3 As shown, a limit plate 32 is installed at the inner top of the U-shaped seat 24. When the first telescopic mechanism 2 is extended to the maximum length, the bottom side of the limit plate 32 abuts against the side surface of the second telescopic mechanism 9. Under the action of the limit plate 32, the connecting sleeve 23 can be limited, so that when the photovoltaic panel is inspected, the connecting sleeve 23 and the sliding rod 11 can remain parallel to the photovoltaic panel.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
