Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar panel cleaning, and particularly to a solar panel cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] Solar panels are installed with a relatively large coverage area, and there will be height differences when adjacent solar panels are installed. The cleaning heads of existing cleaning equipment are rigidly connected to the equipment and cannot clean the concave positions of the solar panels. Some parts of the solar panels are clean while some parts still have impurities attached, resulting in uneven heating of the solar panels and affecting the power generation and service life of the solar panels.

[0003] Moreover, when using a nozzle in existing cleaning equipment, the water pipe is usually directly connected to the nozzle. When the cleaning equipment moves, the water pipe is dragged to move, and the staff needs to adjust the position of the water pipe in time to prevent the cleaning equipment from directly pressing over the water pipe, as the water pipe affects the operation of the cleaning equipment. However, when existing staff make adjustments, it is difficult to control the force. Applying too much force is likely to drag the cleaning equipment and affect the operation of the equipment.

The cleaning device 6 is used to clean the solar panel, and the suspension device 7 is used to solve the problem that when there is a height difference on the surface of the solar panel, the cleaning device 6 can closely adhere to the panel surface to clean the solar panel in all aspects.

[0029] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cleaning device 6 includes a first cleaning component 61 installed on one side of the base 1 in the length direction, a second cleaning component 62 installed on the other side of the base 1 in the length direction, a third cleaning component 63 installed at the end of the base 1 in the traveling direction and extending along the end length direction, and a spraying component 64 installed on the base 1 and used to spray water onto the solar panel. In the embodiment of this application, the first cleaning component 61 includes a rotary brush, a cleaning roller, and a mounting seat for mounting the rotary brush and the cleaning roller, and the cleaning cloth is wrapped on the cleaning roller; the second cleaning component 62 has the same structure as the first cleaning component 61 in the embodiment of this application. Compared with the first cleaning component 61, the structure of the third cleaning component 63 further includes rotary brush heads installed at both ends of the rotary brush and the cleaning roller. A pipeline 8 connected to the supporting device 5 is installed on the spraying component 64, and the pipeline 8 is used to convey the liquid transmitted by the water pipe. The spraying component 64 includes a plurality of nozzles installed on the base 1, and the liquid inlet end of the nozzle is connected to the pipeline 8.

[0030] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the support device 5 is used to support the water pipe, and the water pipe provides water for the nozzle. The support device 5 includes a positioning seat 51 fixedly installed on the base 1, a connecting member 52 installed on the positioning seat 51, and a rotating member 53. The connecting member 52 is connected to the water pipe, and the rotating member 53 is used to drive the connecting member 52 to rotate, facilitating the rotation adjustment of the end of the water pipe when the staff adjusts the position of the water pipe, avoiding the distortion of the end of the water pipe and affecting the water delivery of the water pipe. The connecting member 52 includes a first connecting pipe 521, a second connecting pipe 522 connected to one end of the first connecting pipe 521, and a rotating connecting pipe 523 installed at the end of the second connecting pipe 522 away from the first connecting pipe 521. The end of the first connecting pipe 521 away from the second connecting pipe 522 is used to connect to the water pipe. In this application, a communicating pipe is installed between the first connecting pipe 521 and the second connecting pipe 522. One end of the communicating pipe is inserted into the first connecting pipe 521, and an external thread is provided on the outer sidewall of the other end of the communicating pipe. An internal thread adapted to the external thread is provided on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe 522, and the second connecting pipe 522 is threadedly connected to the communicating pipe, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the first connecting pipe 521 and the second connecting pipe 522.

The rotating connecting pipe 523 is threadedly connected to the second connecting pipe 522, improving the installation or disassembly efficiency of the rotating connecting pipe 523 and the second connecting pipe 522.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 , the end of the second connecting pipe 522 close to the rotating connecting pipe 523 is bent downward for guiding the water body to move downward; at the same time, it facilitates the rotating member 53 to drive the second connecting pipe 522 to rotate. The rotating member 53 includes a positioning pipe 531 sleeved on the second connecting pipe 522 and a bearing 532 fixedly installed on the positioning seat 51 and sleeved on the positioning pipe 531. The bearing 532 facilitates the rotation of the positioning pipe 531. When the staff adjusts the position of the water pipe, the movement of the end of the water pipe drives the second connecting pipe 522 to rotate to adapt to the extension direction of the water pipe. The rotation of the second connecting pipe 522 drives the positioning pipe 531 to rotate, and the bearing 532 is used to reduce the friction between the positioning pipe 531 and the positioning seat 51 when the positioning pipe 531 rotates.

[0032] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the suspension device 7 is used to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 6 on the solar panel. The suspension device 7 includes a first connecting rod 71 installed on the base 1, a second connecting rod 72 installed on the moving module 4, and an elastic member 73 for connecting the first connecting rod 71 and the second connecting rod 72.

When the cleaning robot moves to a concave position, the suspension device 7 drives the moving module 4 to bend along with the concave position, driving the cleaning device 6 to closely adhere to the panel of the battery panel for cleaning.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in order to improve the stability between the base 1 and the moving module 4 and improve the reset effect of the suspension device 7, a positioning member 9 is installed on the base 1. The positioning member 9 includes a positioning sleeve 91 fixedly installed on the base 1 and located below the suspension device 7 and a positioning rod 92 located inside the positioning sleeve 91. A through hole 10 for the positioning rod 92 to be inserted into is provided on the moving module 4. A plurality of limiting grooves 11 are provided on the positioning rod 92, and a limiting block is fixedly installed on the moving module 4 and located inside the limiting grooves 11. When the cleaning robot moves to a concave position of the solar panel, one end of the cleaning robot moves downward. At this time, the positioning sleeve 91 rotates, and the suspension device 7 is compressed accordingly. Conversely, the suspension device 7 is stretched.

[0034] The implementation principle of a solar panel cleaning robot in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The moving module 4 drives the cleaning robot to move. When the cleaning robot moves, it drives the water pipe to move, and the supporting device 5 drives the water pipe connection end to be located above the solar panel. When the cleaning robot changes direction, the water pipe maintains its original direction, the first connecting member 52 rotates, and when the staff pulls the water pipe, the rotating member 53 rotates synchronously according to the moving direction of the water pipe. When the cleaning robot moves to a concave position of the solar panel, there are four groups of suspension devices 7 provided in the present application, with two groups provided on each side in the length direction of the base 1. The two groups of suspension devices 7 are located at both ends of the moving device. When the cleaning robot moves to a concave position of the solar panel, the suspension device 7 can expand or stretch according to the moving state of the cleaning robot, providing a position adjustment space between the base 1 and the moving module 4, thereby facilitating the cleaning device 6 to clean the solar panel.

[0035] Sensors can also be installed on the base of this application to detect the pressure between the cleaning device 6 and the board surface. When the pressure decreases, it indicates that the cleaning device 6 is suspended. There is a motor installed on the base for adjusting the cleaning angle of cleaning component one or cleaning component two. When the pressure decreases, the motor adjusts the contact between cleaning component one or cleaning component two and the board surface. Whether to install this mechanism can be determined according to needs during the specific implementation process.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
