[0002] As environmental awareness continues to increase, the global demand for clean energy is also growing. As a clean energy industry, the photovoltaic industry has shifted from a simple research and development stage to a production and application stage. Among them, water surface photovoltaic projects take into account the cooling effect of water bodies to increase power generation; their unique advantage of not occupying scarce land resources such as arable land and forest land has made them very popular.

[0003] As a type of photovoltaic power station, water-surface photovoltaic power stations will also bring a series of unique problems to the operation and maintenance of power stations after they are connected to the grid. For example, photovoltaic panels may fall into the water due to strong winds, loose buckle installation, and other reasons. After photovoltaic panels fall into the water, they need to be salvaged as soon as possible to avoid affecting the development of fisheries or causing environmental problems.

[0004] Currently, there is no dedicated photovoltaic panel salvaging equipment, and most people use conventional net salvaging technology, which is time-consuming. Summary of the invention

[0007] In some embodiments, a grab hook is provided at one end of the clamp arm away from the inner tube.

[0008] In some embodiments, the clamping arms, support rods and strip-shaped openings are combined in sets, and there are more than three sets.

[0009] In some embodiments, the length of the clamp arm between the connection point between the sleeve and the support rod is less than the length of the support rod.

[0010] In some embodiments, the camera is connected to the image output end via a transmission optical fiber.

[0011] In some embodiments, the transmission optical fiber is routed through the interior of the inner tube.

[0012] In some embodiments, the clamp arm is hinged to the upper end of the strip opening of the sleeve through a hinge member I.

[0022] The utility model is described in further detail below.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0024] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an underwater photovoltaic panel salvage device, including four groups of clamp arms 6, the lower ends of the clamp arms 6 are provided with inward-locking grab hooks 7, the four groups of clamp arms 6 are hinged on the casing 3 at intervals of 90° along the circumference of the casing 3, the casing 3 is connected to an inner tube 2 that can slide up and down, four support rods 8 are hinged on the four groups of clamp arms 6, the lower ends of the support rods 8 pass through the strip opening 10 of the casing 3 and are hinged to the inner tube 2, the clamp arms 6 are hinged to the upper ends of the strip opening 10 of the casing 3 through hinges Ⅰ4, the support rods 8 are hinged to the clamp arms 6 through hinges Ⅱ5, and the length of the clamp arms 6 between the hinges Ⅰ4 and Ⅱ5 is less than the length of the support rods 8.

[0025] At this time, the opening and closing angle of the clamp arm 6 can be controlled by adjusting the relative position of the sleeve 3 and the inner tube 2. When the sleeve 3 moves downward relative to the inner tube 2, the upper end of the clamp arm 6 is driven to move downward, and the lower end of the clamp arm 6 opens.

[0026] Similarly, when the sleeve 3 is upward relative to the inner tube 2, the lower ends of the clamping arms 6 are closed to grasp the photovoltaic panel.

[0027] The lower end of the inner tube 2 is fixedly connected to a camera 9 , and the camera 9 is connected to an image output end via a transmission optical fiber 1 , and the transmission optical fiber 1 is routed through the inner tube 2 .

[0028] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, when in use, the camera 9 is first used to explore the specific position of the photovoltaic panel that has fallen into the water. After the position is found, the movable sleeve 3 is used to control the angle of the clamping arm 6 so that the four clamping arms 6 can clamp the photovoltaic panel that has fallen into the water and firmly fix the photovoltaic panel that has fallen into the water. Then the sleeve 3 is grasped to lift the device upwards and salvage it together with the photovoltaic panel out of the water.

[0029] When salvaging photovoltaic panels of different sizes, the hinged parts I4 and II5 can be disassembled, and the clamping arms 6 and the grab hooks 7 of appropriate sizes can be replaced before salvaging.
