Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of radiator cleaning, and particularly to a cleaning device for radiators. Background Art

[0002] The function of a radiator is to dissipate the heat generated by the device in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the device in a high-temperature environment. However, during the operation of the radiator, dust, dirt, and other impurities will gradually accumulate on its surface. These accumulations will hinder the flow of air, thereby reducing the heat dissipation efficiency and increasing the internal temperature of the device. When the operating temperature of the device is too high, the components may experience a decline in performance due to overheating, and even lead to device failures. In addition, the dust on the radiator will accelerate the aging and wear of the components, shortening the service life of the device. Therefore, by regularly cleaning the radiator, the accumulation of dust and dirt can be effectively reduced, maintaining a good heat dissipation effect, thereby extending the service life of the device and reducing the costs of maintenance and device replacement.

[0003] In the prior art, the cleaning methods for radiators are mainly divided into two categories: manual cleaning and semi-automatic cleaning. Manual cleaning usually requires maintenance personnel to regularly use tools such as brushes, cleaning agents, and water to clean the heat dissipation fins to remove dust and dirt. Although the manual cleaning method is direct and effective, it has obvious disadvantages, such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and the problem of incomplete cleaning.

[0004] Another common cleaning method is semi-automatic cleaning, and typical devices include fixed spraying devices. Fixed spraying devices are usually installed near the radiator and regularly flush the radiator through a preset spray head and pipeline system. This method can cover a large cleaning area and reduce the burden of manual operation. However, since this cleaning method relies on a preset cleaning cycle and lacks real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the actual dirt condition of the radiator, the cleaning effect is often not ideal.

[0005] Based on this, there is an urgent need for a cleaning device for radiators to solve the technical problem of poor cleaning effect in the prior art. Utility Model Content

These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0044] First of all, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to needs to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0046] Then, it should also be noted that in the description of this application, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to this application.

[0047] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0048] In the prior art, although manual cleaning of the radiator can effectively remove dust and dirt, there are problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and incomplete cleaning. Semi-automatic cleaning technology usually adopts a fixed spraying device, which flushes the radiator through a preset cleaning cycle. However, the fixed spraying device lacks a real-time monitoring function and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual dirt condition of the radiator, resulting in an unsatisfactory cleaning effect, and there may be situations of insufficient cleaning or over-cleaning.

[0049] Based on the above technical problems and requirements, the embodiments of this application provide a cleaning device for a radiator, aiming to achieve efficient cleaning of the radiator's heat dissipation fins while ensuring the reliability and safety of the cleaning process. Through the monitoring module and the fault detection module, this cleaning device can monitor the device status in real time and give a fault warning and dynamic adjustment through a remote terminal. The concept of this application is to automate the cleaning process and, through the application of the monitoring and fault detection modules, achieve real-time monitoring and remote control of the device status.

[0050] Specifically, the cleaning device includes a bracket, a cleaning component, and a monitoring module. A guide rail parallel to the heat dissipation fins of the radiator is installed on the bracket. The cleaning component is strip-shaped, and one end is fixed to the guide rail through a driving mechanism. The cleaning piece directly contacts the heat dissipation fins for cleaning. The driving mechanism moves by sliding connection on the guide rail, drives the cleaning component to run along the guide rail, and realizes the rotational cleaning of the cleaning piece through the rotation of the driving end. The driving mechanism is connected to the control module and receives control signals to adjust the cleaning operation, ensuring that the cleaning work is automatically carried out as needed.

[0051] To further ensure the safety of the system, the driving mechanism is equipped with a fault detection module, which monitors the working state of the device in real time and issues a fault warning through a remote terminal to prompt the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance in a timely manner. In addition, the cleaning device is also equipped with a monitoring module, which includes an image acquisition unit and an image processing unit. The image acquisition unit captures the images of the heat dissipation fins in real time, and the image processing unit obtains the cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins, and issues a cleaning instruction through the control module according to the cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins to dynamically adjust the cleaning strategy. This improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces the tediousness of manual operation, and improves the operating stability and service life of the radiator.

[0052] The cleaning device of the present application is mainly applied to devices that require heat dissipation. Especially in outdoor or industrial environments, the radiator is easily affected by dust, dirt, and other impurities, resulting in a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency. For example, in power equipment and substations, the radiator is usually exposed outdoors and is vulnerable to the influence of weather, dust, and pollutants. This cleaning device can automatically clean these radiators, avoid equipment overheating caused by dust accumulation, reduce the frequency of manual maintenance, and ensure the safe and stable operation of power equipment. Similarly, the devices in communication base stations need to operate continuously and stably for a long time. The dust accumulation on the radiator may cause the equipment to overheat, the performance to decline, and even malfunction. By using this cleaning device, the radiators of communication base stations can be automatically cleaned regularly, thereby reducing the number of equipment maintenance times and ensuring the long-term stable operation of communication equipment.

[0053] In manufacturing and heavy industry environments, many devices rely on radiators for cooling, and these radiators are usually exposed to dust, oil mist, and industrial pollutants. Cleaning these radiators can maintain the effectiveness of the cooling system. This cleaning device can automate these cleaning tasks, improve the working efficiency of the cooling system, and reduce equipment downtime and failures caused by poor heat dissipation. In addition, the radiators of outdoor devices such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation also need to be cleaned regularly to ensure their efficient operation in harsh environments. This cleaning device can be installed on the radiators of these devices to automatically complete the cleaning work, reduce equipment failures caused by poor heat dissipation, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the preferred embodiments of this application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain this application and should not be construed as limiting this application. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the cleaning device provided by the embodiment of this application. The cleaning device includes a bracket 10, a cleaning component, and a monitoring module, and is designed to automatically clean the heat dissipation fins of the radiator. A guide rail 11 is provided on the bracket 10, and the long axis direction of the guide rail 11 is parallel to the heat dissipation fins of the radiator. This setting ensures that the cleaning component can move smoothly along the direction of the heat dissipation fins on the guide rail 11, thereby covering the entire surface area of the radiator. The cleaning component is in a long strip shape, and one end of it is installed on the guide rail 11 through a driving mechanism and can slide along the guide rail 11 with the movement of the driving mechanism. The cleaning parts on the surface of the cleaning component are in contact with the heat dissipation fins; that is, cleaning parts are provided on the surface of the cleaning component, and these cleaning parts are in direct contact with the heat dissipation fins to remove dust, dirt, and other impurities on the fin surface through mechanical friction.

[0056] The driving mechanism is slidably connected to the guide rail 11, and the driving end of the driving mechanism is rotatably connected to one end of the cleaning component, so that the cleaning component can rotate and move under the drive of the driving mechanism. In this way, while the driving mechanism drives the cleaning component to move, the cleaning parts of the cleaning component can perform rotary or reciprocating cleaning on the heat dissipation fins, further improving the cleaning effect. The signal input end of the driving mechanism is connected to the control module 60; the control module 60 receives data and issues instructions as needed to control the operation of the driving mechanism, so that the cleaning component can be started or stopped in a timely manner, or its moving speed and cleaning intensity can be adjusted.

[0057] To ensure safety and operation stability, a fault detection module 50 is also provided on the driving mechanism. The output end of the fault retrieval module is connected to the remote terminal. The fault detection module 50 monitors the operation status of the driving mechanism in real time. Once an abnormal situation is detected, such as overheating, overload, or abnormal vibration, the fault detection module 50 will immediately issue an alarm signal. This signal is transmitted to the remote terminal through communication to notify the operation and maintenance personnel to conduct inspections and repairs to prevent equipment damage or interruption of the cleaning task.

[0058] The monitoring module is responsible for obtaining and transmitting the cleaning status of the heat dissipation fins to ensure that the cleaning work can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual conditions of the heat dissipation fins. The monitoring module includes an image acquisition unit 31 and an image processing unit 32. The image acquisition end of the image acquisition unit 31 is arranged facing the heat dissipation fins and can capture the real-time image of the heat dissipation fins. The data output end of the image acquisition unit 31 is connected to the input end of the image processing unit 32, and the output end of the image processing unit 32 is connected to the control module 60. That is, the image data acquired by the image acquisition unit 31 is transmitted to the image processing unit 32 through the data interface. The image processing unit 32 analyzes the transmitted image data to judge the cleanliness of the surface of the heat dissipation fins. The processed data is transmitted to the control module 60. The control module 60 sends control instructions according to the analysis result of the image processing unit 32 to start or stop the work of the cleaning component. Further, it can also automatically adjust the operating parameters of the cleaning device to ensure that the heat dissipation fins always remain in a clean state. Exemplarily, the image processing unit 32 uses a convolutional neural network to analyze the image of the heat dissipation fins acquired in real time, and then obtains the cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins. It should be noted here that the image processing unit 32 can use existing image analysis and processing technologies to analyze the images acquired in real time. This is only an exemplary list and does not limit the present application.

[0059] In summary, the cleaning device realizes the movement of the cleaning component through the guide rail 11 on the bracket 10 to ensure that the cleaning component can effectively cover every corner of the heat dissipation fins. The strip shape of the cleaning component and the configuration of the surface cleaning piece enable it to comprehensively clean the surface and gaps of the heat dissipation fins during the movement. The drive mechanism ensures the movement and rotation of the cleaning component, enhancing the cleaning effect. The application of the fault detection module 50 improves the safety and reliability of the device, can timely detect and handle faults, and reduces the downtime. Through the monitoring module, the real-time monitoring of the cleaning status of the heat dissipation fins is realized, ensuring the timeliness and effectiveness of the cleaning work. Through the collaborative work of the above modules and components, the cleaning device can automatically complete the cleaning task of the heat dissipation fins without manual intervention.

[0060] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a flushing assembly to enhance the cleaning effect. The flushing assembly includes a flushing pipeline 71, a water storage tank 72, and a pressure stabilizing pump 73. Specifically, one end of the flushing pipeline 71 is connected to the water storage tank 72, which provides the water source required for cleaning, and the other end is connected to a spray pipe 74. A plurality of spray nozzles 741 are provided on the spray pipe 74, and the spray nozzles 741 are arranged facing the heat dissipation fins. These spray nozzles 741 can evenly spray water flow to flush the heat dissipation fins, further removing dust and dirt. The spray pipe 74 is installed on the guide rail 11 through a driving mechanism and reciprocates along the guide rail 11 through the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism controls the movement of the spray pipe 74, enabling the spray nozzles 741 to cover the entire surface of the heat dissipation fins, achieving a comprehensive flushing effect. The spray pipe 74 works in coordination with the cleaning assembly, performing water flow flushing while mechanically cleaning to ensure thorough cleaning. The pressure stabilizing pump 73 is connected in series on the flushing pipeline 71, and its main function is to maintain the stability of the water flow and the constancy of the pressure, ensuring that the spray nozzles 741 can spray out uniform and powerful water flow. The pressure stabilizing pump 73 is connected to the control module 60 and receives signal instructions through the control module 60 to control the on / off of the water flow and the adjustment of the pressure.

[0061] The entire cleaning process is uniformly controlled by the control module 60. When the monitoring module detects that the heat dissipation fins need to be cleaned, the control module 60 starts the driving mechanism to drive the cleaning assembly and the spray pipe 74 to start working. The cleaning assembly removes dust and dirt on the surface of the fins through mechanical action, and the spray pipe 74 simultaneously performs water flow flushing to ensure thorough cleaning. In summary, the setting of this flushing assembly further improves the effect of the cleaning device. Through the water flow flushing of the spray nozzles 741, stubborn dirt in the gaps of the heat dissipation fins can be more effectively removed, complementing the mechanical cleaning of the cleaning assembly. The application of the pressure stabilizing pump 73 ensures the stability of the water flow and improves the flushing effect. Compared with the prior art, this cleaning device not only has an efficient mechanical cleaning function but also realizes comprehensive water flow flushing through the flushing assembly, improving the cleaning effect of the radiator. It reduces the frequency and difficulty of manual cleaning, reduces the maintenance cost, and improves the operation stability and safety of the equipment.

[0062] Furthermore, the flushing assembly further includes a liquid level sensor 75. The liquid level sensor 75 is installed on the inner side wall of the water storage tank 72, and its main function is to monitor the water level height in the water storage tank 72. The output end of the liquid level sensor 75 is connected to the control module 60, and transmits the water level information to the control module 60 in real time. During the cleaning process, the liquid level sensor 75 continuously monitors the water level in the water storage tank 72 to ensure that there is sufficient water for cleaning. The liquid level sensor 75 sends the real-time water level information to the control module 60. After receiving the signal, the control module 60 sends the water level situation to the remote terminal through the communication unit. In this way, the operation and maintenance personnel can understand the water level situation in real time to perform timely water addition treatment. This effectively prevents poor flushing effect and equipment damage caused by insufficient water volume. In addition, the control module 60 can also adjust the working state of the flushing assembly according to the real-time monitoring data of the liquid level sensor 75. For example, when the liquid level sensor 75 detects that the water level has returned to the normal range, the control module 60 will automatically resume the flushing operation to ensure the continuity and stability of the cleaning work. It can be seen that the application of the liquid level sensor 75 improves the automation level and safety. By real-time monitoring the water level in the water storage tank 72, abnormal water level situations can be detected and processed in time, avoiding failures caused by insufficient water volume. At the same time, this design also reduces the need for manual monitoring, reducing the operation and maintenance cost and work intensity. The liquid level sensor 75 can adopt sensors that can realize liquid level detection in the existing technology, such as a capacitive liquid level sensor 75 or an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 75.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a linear motion motor 41 and a driving motor 42. The linear motion motor 41 is installed on the guide rail 11 and moves along the guide rail 11 to realize the horizontal movement of the cleaning assembly and the spray pipe 74. This horizontal movement mechanism ensures that the cleaning assembly and the spray pipe 74 can cover the entire surface of the radiator to achieve efficient cleaning and flushing. The driving motor 42 is installed on the linear motion motor 41 through a motor bracket 10. For example, it is installed on the top of the linear motion motor 41 to ensure that the driving motor 42 can move synchronously with the linear motion motor 41 on the guide rail 11. The rotary driving end of the driving motor 42 is connected to one end of the cleaning assembly. After receiving the signal instruction from the control module 60, the driving motor 42 drives the cleaning assembly to rotate through the rotary driving end to realize the mechanical cleaning of the heat dissipation fins. At the same time, the spray pipe 74 is installed on the linear motion motor 41 and moves with the linear motion motor 41. When the linear motion motor 41 drives the spray pipe 74 to move, the spray head 741 can cover the entire surface of the heat dissipation fins, and evenly spray water to comprehensively flush the heat dissipation fins. This ensures the synchronous progress of mechanical cleaning and water flow flushing, which can not only remove dust and dirt, but also further clean the fin surface through flushing to prevent dust accumulation or residue.

[0064] During operation, when the monitoring module detects that the heat dissipation fins need to be cleaned, the control module 60 sends a signal to start the linear motion motor 41 and the drive motor 42. The linear motion motor 41 moves along the guide rail 11, driving the cleaning assembly and the spray pipe 74 to cover the entire heat dissipation fin area. The drive motor 42 drives the cleaning assembly to rotate through the rotating drive end to achieve mechanical cleaning. At the same time, the spray heads 741 on the spray pipe 74 spray water flow to wash the heat dissipation fins to ensure thorough cleaning. It can be seen that by combining the horizontal movement of the cleaning assembly and the spray pipe 74 with the rotational drive of the drive motor 42, the device can ensure the continuity and comprehensiveness of the cleaning process. Especially when dealing with stubborn dirt accumulated on the surface area of the heat dissipation fins, the synergistic effect of mechanical cleaning and water flow flushing can effectively improve the cleaning effect. Moreover, the ability to cover different areas during the movement also ensures that all parts of the heat dissipation fins can be processed, reducing incomplete cleaning and the occurrence of cleaning dead corners.

[0065] Furthermore, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the brush roller 21 and the spray pipe 74 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The cleaning assembly includes a brush roller 21, and the brush roller 21 effectively removes dust and dirt on the surface of the heat dissipation fins through mechanical friction. One end of the brush roller 21 is connected to the drive motor 42 through a bearing. The use of the bearing ensures the smooth rotation of the brush roller 21, reduces the frictional resistance, and improves the cleaning efficiency and durability. The surface of the brush roller 21 is covered with dense brushes, and these brushes are in direct contact with the heat dissipation fins. When the drive motor 42 drives the brush roller 21 to rotate, the brushes remove the dust, dirt, and other impurities attached to the heat dissipation fins through friction. In addition, the brush roller 21 is arranged in parallel with the spray pipe 74.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the control module 60 includes a communication unit and a micro-control unit (i.e., an MCU controller). Both the fault detection module 50 and the micro-control unit are connected to the remote terminal through the communication unit. The drive mechanism and the image processing unit 32 are both connected to the micro-control unit.

[0067] In this embodiment, the communication unit is responsible for data exchange with the remote terminal. Through the communication unit, the control module 60 can receive cleaning instructions, fault report requests, etc. from the remote terminal, and at the same time, it can also feedback the operating status and fault information of the device to the remote terminal. In this way, the operation and maintenance personnel can monitor and control the cleaning device in real time through the remote terminal without on-site operation, improving work efficiency and safety. Exemplarily, the communication unit can adopt various communication forms to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. For example, the communication unit can adopt Wi-Fi technology to achieve communication with the remote terminal through a wireless network, which is suitable for environments that need to be flexibly arranged. It can also adopt 4G / 5G cellular networks to perform remote monitoring and control using a wide area network, which is especially suitable for outdoor environments such as communication base stations and wind power generation equipment, ensuring reliable communication even under remote or unstable network conditions. In addition, the communication unit can also adopt an Ethernet connection, which is suitable for wired communication methods in industrial scenarios to ensure high-speed and low-latency data transmission. For the local system, short-range wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth can also be used to facilitate device management and control within a small range. Through these different communication forms, it is possible to flexibly adapt to communication requirements in various environments, realize remote monitoring, fault warning, and operation management of the cleaning device, and enhance the overall convenience.

[0068] The micro-control unit is connected to and controls the drive mechanism and the image processing unit 32. The micro-control unit receives data from the image processing unit 32 and the fault detection module 50, and controls the start, stop, and its operating parameters of the drive mechanism according to the actual situation to ensure the effective operation of the cleaning component and the flushing component. During the operation, when the monitoring module detects that the heat dissipation fins need to be cleaned, the control module 60 will issue an instruction to start the drive mechanism and the flushing component. The control module 60 realizes the automation of the cleaning device. By connecting to the remote terminal through the communication unit, the operation and maintenance personnel can monitor and control the cleaning device anytime and anywhere, improving the efficiency and flexibility of device management. The application of the micro-control unit ensures the coordinated operation of each component, and combined with the real-time monitoring function of the fault detection module 50, it ensures the safety and reliability of the system. Further, the remote terminal includes but is not limited to mobile phones, computers, and industrial control terminals. For example, through a mobile application, the operation and maintenance personnel can receive the status information and fault warnings of the cleaning device anytime and anywhere, facilitating flexible handling. In terms of warning forms, it can be in the form of text message notifications, push notifications, or email warnings. In some scenarios, a sound and light alarm can also be used as a local warning device. Once a fault or abnormality is detected, it will remind the on-site personnel to respond quickly through sound or flashing lights.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the image acquisition unit 31 includes at least one camera. The camera is mounted on a support rod and is oriented towards the heat dissipation fins; wherein, the image acquisition range of the camera covers all the heat dissipation fins of the radiator. In this way, during the operation of the cleaning device, the camera can capture the status images of the heat dissipation fins in real time and transmit these image data to the image processing unit 32. After receiving these data, the image processing unit 32 will analyze and process them to judge the cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins and whether there are areas that need to be cleaned. Through the images captured by the camera, the image processing unit 32 can identify the blockage situation. In more precise identification, it can identify the dust, dirt and other impurities on the heat dissipation fins and generate cleaning instructions based on this information. These instructions will be transmitted to the control module 60, and the control module 60 will start the driving mechanism and the cleaning component according to the instructions to perform targeted cleaning operations.

[0070] Exemplarily, the image processing unit 32 adopts an image processing form based on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA for short). The FPGA has high parallel processing capabilities and programmable characteristics, and can quickly and efficiently process the image data captured by the camera. By implementing a customized image processing algorithm in the FPGA, the status of the heat dissipation fins can be analyzed and judged in real time. At the same time, it can be optimized at the hardware level according to requirements and has high flexibility. In addition, the FPGA can also implement complex image processing tasks such as edge detection, target recognition, and dirt area marking.

[0071] Through real-time image monitoring and processing, the cleaning strategy can be dynamically adjusted to ensure that the heat dissipation fins always maintain a good clean state. Compared with the traditional regular cleaning method, this cleaning method based on real-time monitoring is more efficient and accurate, can perform cleaning immediately when needed, and avoids the accumulation of dust and dirt. In addition, the high resolution and wide-angle lens settings of the camera ensure the clarity and coverage of image acquisition, so that even tiny dust and dirt can be accurately identified. In this way, not only the efficiency and effect of cleaning are improved, but also the need for manual intervention is reduced, and the operation and maintenance costs and labor intensity are lowered.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, the bracket 10 is hinged to the bottom surface of the guide rail 11. By using the hinged method, the guide rail 11 can adjust the angle within a certain range, so as to meet the requirements of different installation environments and the positions of the radiators. Exemplarily, the bracket 10 includes at least two telescopic rods. One end of each telescopic rod is hinged to the bottom surface of the guide rail 11, and the other end of the telescopic rod is installed on the base. The base provides a firm support point to ensure the stability of the whole device during operation. By adjusting the length and angle of the telescopic rods, the bracket 10 can flexibly adjust the height and position of the guide rail 11 according to actual needs, so as to ensure that the cleaning component and the flushing component can effectively cover the entire surface of the heat dissipation fins. This not only enhances the adaptability of the cleaning device, but also improves the convenience of installation and maintenance. During the installation process, the operation and maintenance personnel can adjust the telescopic rods according to the on-site situation to ensure the position of the guide rail 11 and the cleaning component, and ensure the efficient progress of the cleaning work. At the same time, the hinge also facilitates the disassembly and movement of the device, increasing the overall flexibility.

[0073] Further, limiters 12 are installed at both ends of the guide rail 11. By physically blocking, the moving range of the cleaning component and the spray pipe 74 on the guide rail 11 is restricted, providing important safety guarantees and operation reliability. In this way, when the cleaning component or the spray pipe 74 moves to the end of the guide rail 11, the limiter 12 will prevent it from continuing to move, avoiding derailment or collision caused by excessive movement. While ensuring its effective limiting function, the limiter 12 does not affect the normal operation of the cleaning device. In actual operation, the limiter 12 can effectively prevent the cleaning component and the spray pipe 74 from exceeding the working area and avoid damage to the radiator and other surrounding equipment. At the same time, the application of the limiter 12 also helps to protect the drive mechanism and the guide rail 11 system, prevent mechanical damage and wear caused by excessive movement, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the fault detection module 50 includes at least one of a current sensor 51, a temperature sensor 52, and a vibration sensor 53. These sensors are designed to monitor the operating state of the drive mechanism in real time, providing comprehensive operating state monitoring and fault warning functions, reducing the equipment failure rate and downtime, and improving the service life and working efficiency of the equipment.

[0075] When the temperature sensor 52 is adopted, the temperature detection end of the temperature sensor 52 is arranged close to the outer wall of the driving mechanism for real-time monitoring of the working temperature of the driving mechanism. The output end of the temperature sensor 52 is connected through the fault diagnosis unit 54 and the communication unit, and is connected to the remote terminal through the communication unit. Through signal processing and analysis by the fault diagnosis unit 54, real-time monitoring of the temperature data is ensured. After analysis by the fault diagnosis unit 54, the temperature data is sent to the remote terminal through the communication unit. With this setting, when the temperature of the driving mechanism exceeds the normal range, the operation and maintenance personnel can be notified in a timely manner to take measures to ensure that the equipment operates under safe temperature conditions. For example, in the working mode, if the motor temperature does not rise or change, it is considered that there may be a fault in the driving mechanism and the cleaning work cannot be carried out. Exemplarily, the model of the temperature sensor 52 is PT100. The PT100 sensor is a high-precision platinum resistance temperature sensor 52 that can detect the working temperature of the driving mechanism. The sensor is installed on the outer wall of the driving mechanism, close to the key parts, to monitor the temperature change in real time.

[0076] When the vibration sensor 53 is adopted, the vibration sensor 53 is installed on the driving mechanism for detecting the running smoothness of the driving mechanism. The output end of the vibration sensor 53 is connected through the fault diagnosis unit 54 and the communication unit, and is connected to the remote terminal through the communication unit. Similarly, preliminary analysis is carried out by the fault diagnosis unit 54. When abnormal vibration is detected, the fault diagnosis unit 54 will immediately issue a warning signal, and through the communication unit, this warning information will be sent to the remote terminal, enabling the operation and maintenance personnel to make a quick response and avoid equipment damage or failure caused by vibration problems. Exemplarily, the model of the vibration sensor 53 is ADXL345. The ADXL345 is a low-power three-axis accelerometer for monitoring the vibration of the driving mechanism. The vibration sensor 53 is installed on the driving mechanism and can detect the acceleration changes in three directions to determine whether there is abnormal vibration.

[0077] When the current sensor 51 is adopted, the current sensor 51 is connected to the power input terminal of the driving mechanism for real-time monitoring of the current consumption of the driving mechanism. The output terminal of the current sensor 51 is connected to the fault diagnosis unit 54 and the communication unit, and is connected to the remote terminal through the communication unit. The fault diagnosis unit 54 is responsible for analyzing and processing the detected current data. If the current sensor 51 detects abnormal current in the driving mechanism, such as excessive or too small current, the fault diagnosis unit 54 will transmit the fault information to the remote terminal through the communication unit. The operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate the problem based on this information, conduct inspections and repairs to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system. Exemplarily, the current sensor 51 adopts the model ACS712. The ACS712 current sensor 51 can detect the current consumption of the driving mechanism. This sensor has high precision and high linearity and can provide accurate measurement results within a wide current range.

[0078] Specifically, the fault diagnosis unit 54 adopts a fault diagnosis form based on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC for short). The PLC has the advantages of strong stability and high anti-interference ability and is widely used in the industrial control field. By writing a special fault diagnosis program in the PLC, the fault diagnosis unit 54 can real-time monitor the data from the temperature sensor 52, the vibration sensor 53 and the current sensor 51, and quickly analyze and process this data. In practical applications, the fault diagnosis unit 54 based on the PLC can make logical judgments on the data of each sensor, such as setting specific temperature, vibration amplitude and current thresholds. If the reading of a certain sensor exceeds the preset safe range, the PLC immediately triggers the fault alarm program and records the specific situation and time of the fault occurrence.

[0079] Next, an exemplary description of the working process of the cleaning device is made as a whole. The working process of the cleaning device includes: after the cleaning process is started, the micro control unit first instructs the camera (which is part of the image acquisition unit 31) installed to start working. The camera captures real-time images of the heat dissipation fins to obtain the current status of the heat dissipation fins. These image data are then transmitted to the image processing unit 32. The image processing unit 32 analyzes the cleanliness of the heat dissipation fins based on the images provided by the camera and judges whether cleaning is required. If the analysis result shows that the heat dissipation fins need to be cleaned, the image processing unit 32 transmits this information back to the micro control unit.

[0080] The micro - control unit that receives the cleaning requirement generates specific cleaning task instructions and sends them to the linear motion motor 41. After receiving the instructions, the linear motion motor 41 starts to move along the guide rail 11 installed on the bracket 10, driving the brush roller 21 to move to the area that needs to be cleaned. At the same time, the drive motor 42 starts to drive the rotation of the brush roller 21. The brush roller 21 contacts the surface of the heat dissipation fins through rotation for mechanical cleaning to remove dust and dirt on the surface. While the brush roller 21 is performing the cleaning task, the micro - control unit also starts the spraying. The spray pipe 74 moves synchronously with the brush roller 21 and evenly sprays water through the spray head 741 to wash the heat dissipation fins.

[0081] During the entire cleaning process, the fault detection module 50 continuously monitors the operating status of the drive mechanism and checks key parameters such as current, temperature, and vibration. If any abnormal situation is detected, such as excessive current or too high temperature, the fault detection module 50 immediately sends an alarm signal to the micro - control unit. The micro - control unit then instructs the linear motion motor 41 and the drive motor 42 to stop to prevent equipment damage. At the same time, the fault information is transmitted to the remote terminal through the communication unit to notify the operation and maintenance personnel for inspection and maintenance.

[0082] When the cleaning task is completed, the micro - control unit instructs the linear motion motor 41 and the drive motor 42 to stop operating, causing the brush roller 21 and the spray pipe 74 to stop working and return to the initial position. After the cleaning device is reset, the micro - control unit transmits the system status and cleaning results to the remote terminal for the operation and maintenance personnel to confirm and record.
