[0035] A further optimized solution is that the main body of the sliding wheel 201 is an H-shaped structure, and the front end of the rotating shaft of the two sets of sliding wheels 201 below is fixedly provided with a driving gear 202; the outside of the lower walking mechanism 2 is fixedly provided with a moving motor 203, and the shaft end of the moving motor 203 is provided with a gear that meshes with the two sets of driving gears 202.
[0036] In the above embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the anti-drop component 3 includes a component body 301 fixedly connected to the middle part of the side of the movable outer frame 1, and a test frame 302 perpendicular to the glass surface of the photovoltaic panel is elastically and telescopically connected inside the component body 301, and a side pulley 303 is rotatably arranged at the front end of the test frame 302; specifically, a sliding rod 306 is slidably arranged in the middle of the component body 301, and the main body of the sliding rod 306 is a hexagonal structure, and a spring is sleeved on the front end of the sliding rod 306 and the test frame 302 is fixedly arranged, and the side pulley 303 is rotatably arranged at the front end of the test frame 302; a trigger block 304 is fixedly arranged at the rear end of the anti-drop component 3, and a proximity switch 305 is fixedly arranged on one side of the anti-drop component 3, and the trigger block 304 can contact the proximity switch 305.

After installation, the pulley 303 on the side is attached to the surface of the photovoltaic panel;
[0039] Further optimization plan, according to Figure 3 The transmission structure is as follows: when cleaning, the transmission motor 104 is started to drive the intermediate connecting shaft 103 to rotate, and the intermediate connecting shaft 103 cooperates with the bevel gear to drive each group of cleaning brushes 102 to rotate, and the cleaning brushes 102 are used to continuously clean the surface of the glass door; the number of cleaning brushes 102 and the intermediate connecting shaft 103 can be adjusted to increase or decrease as needed, and two rows of cleaning brushes 102 are set and staggered for better coverage and cleaning; at the same time, the fan 105 is started to generate wind force, and the cleaned dust is blown out by increasing the air pressure.

[0043] When one row of photovoltaic panels is cleaned, the mobile outer frame 1 can be removed, and then the mobile outer frame 1 can be installed on the outside of other rows of photovoltaic panels for cleaning.
[0044] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0045] In the utility model, when in use, the mobile outer frame 1 is buckled on the outside of the photovoltaic panel, such as Figure 1 When installing, you can first lift the left trigger block 304, pull the sliding rod 306 outward, and then install the mobile outer frame 1, which is more convenient.

When the proximity switch 305 receives the signal, the mobile motor 203 stops moving to prevent the mobile external frame 1 from falling directly, and ensure that the mobile external frame 1 is located on one side of the photovoltaic panel. At this time, it is convenient to remove the mobile external frame 1. The mobile external frame 1 can be used to directly clean a whole row of spliced photovoltaic panels, and it can move without hindrance.
