Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning robots, and more specifically to a device for automatically adjusting the height of a roller brush. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry, problems in the operation and management of photovoltaic power stations have gradually emerged, especially the problem of surface cleaning of photovoltaic panels, which is the key to the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic power stations. Photovoltaic panels are set outdoors, and the accumulation of dust, bird droppings, fallen leaves, pollen, etc. on the surface of photovoltaic panels will form dirt, which will seriously affect the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic power stations. Therefore, it is urgent to effectively clean photovoltaic panels.

[0003] There are various forms of existing photovoltaic panel arrangements. Photovoltaic power stations generally use photovoltaic modules of the same specifications for large-scale arrangements. On the one hand, due to terrain reasons and human assembly errors, there are uneven arrangements, misalignments, and height differences between two adjacent groups of photovoltaic modules. On the other hand, the roller brush is prone to wear, shortening and softening after a long period of operation. The temperature difference between spring and winter causes deformation of the surface of the photovoltaic panel, which requires cleaning equipment to clean surfaces at different heights. For traditional cleaning robots, since the roller brush is fixed on the surface of the frame, the distance between the roller brush and the ground is fixed, which makes it impossible for the roller brush to contact the photovoltaic panel with appropriate force for cleaning, resulting in low cleanliness when cleaning the photovoltaic panel.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device for automatically adjusting the height of a roller brush, which can automatically adjust the height according to the cleaning surface to ensure that the roller brush contacts the surface to be cleaned to improve its cleaning effect.
