Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic equipment cleaning, in particular to a storage cylinder for hard rods and soft pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic panel cleaning machines generally have a long cleaning rod (more than 3 meters when extended) so that cleaning personnel can hold the cleaning rod to operate the cleaning brush at the end of the cleaning rod. The cleaning rod commonly found on the market is a telescopic rod, one end of which is detachably connected to the cleaning brush. When the cleaning machine is not needed, the cleaning rod and the cleaning brush are separated, and the cleaning rod is retracted and stored in a storage cylinder. Secondly, the cleaning machine also has a water tank and a main unit. The water tank is used to supply water to the cleaning brush, and the main unit controls the water supply of the water tank and the start and stop of the cleaning brush, thereby achieving the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel. Therefore, the length of the water pipe connecting the water tank and the cleaning brush is also long (greater than the length of the cleaning rod). There are also electric wires between the main unit and the cleaning brush, which makes it inconvenient to store the water and electricity pipelines. The operating method in the prior art is to store the hard cleaning rod and the soft pipelines (water pipes and electric wires) separately, but this storage method is still not convenient enough and is not conducive to the storage and transportation of the cleaning machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] To further illustrate various embodiments, the present invention is provided with accompanying drawings. These drawings form part of the disclosure of this invention and are primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and, in conjunction with the relevant description in the specification, to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these drawings, those skilled in the art will understand other possible implementations and the advantages of this invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar reference numerals are generally used to represent similar components.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model discloses a storage cylinder for storing hard rods and soft pipelines, including a cylinder body 1. The interior of the cylinder body 1 is used to store hard rods. The outer wall of the cylinder body 1 is provided with a group of winding assemblies 2. The winding assembly 2 includes two winding positioning members 20. In the axial direction of the cylinder body 1, there is a gap between the two winding positioning members 20. More specifically, the two winding positioning members 20 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cylinder body 1. The winding assembly 2 is used for allowing the soft pipeline to be wound around the winding positioning members 20 of the group of winding assemblies 2 in sequence to store the soft pipeline.

[0022] The storage cylinder of this embodiment is primarily used to store accessories for a photovoltaic panel cleaning machine, including a rigid rod and flexible pipes. The rigid rod is a cleaning rod 100 for mounting a cleaning brush, which is retracted and stored within the cylinder body 1. The flexible pipe is a water and electricity line 200 connected to the cleaning brush, i.e., the water pipe and the electricity line of the cleaning machine are connected to form the water and electricity line 200. In addition to this water and electricity connection to form the water and electricity line, for separate water and electricity lines, both the water pipe and the electricity line can be wound around the winding assembly 2, or one of the water pipe or the electricity line can be wound around the winding assembly 2, thereby achieving storage of the flexible pipe.

[0023] By arranging the winding assembly 2 outside the cylinder body 1 of the storage cylinder, soft pipes such as water and electric lines 200 can be wound around the outside of the cylinder body 1, while the inside of the cylinder is used to store the cleaning rod 100. As a result, the cleaning rod 100 and the water and electric lines 200 of the cleaning machine can be stored in the storage cylinder, making storage more convenient and facilitating the storage and transportation of the cleaning machine. In addition to cleaning machines, this can also make storage more convenient for other equipment that can store both hard rods (or hard pipes) and soft pipes.

[0024] See Figure 2As shown, the winding positioning member 20 includes a hook portion 21, a fixing portion 22 and a connecting portion 23. Among the two winding positioning members 20, the hook portion 21 of any winding positioning member 20 extends in a direction away from the other winding positioning member 20, so that each group of winding assemblies 2 has two hook portions 21 that are away from each other. The fixing portion 22 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1, and the fixing portion 22 and the hook portion 21 are fixedly connected by the connecting portion 23. There are two hook portions 21, and the connecting portion 23 is a U-shaped structure. The two hook portions 21 are spaced apart and respectively connected to the connecting portion 23. The two hook portions 21 ensure that the water and electric wires have a certain distance after being wound, which can effectively separate the water and electric wires 200 and prevent the water and electric wires 200 from excessively piling up on the outer wall of the storage cylinder, which makes the storage of the water and electric wires more chaotic.

[0025] In other embodiments, it is also feasible that each winding positioning member 20 is provided with only one hook portion 21 or with more than two hook portions 21 .

[0026] The winding assembly in this embodiment has only one group. In other embodiments, the winding assembly 2 can also have two or more groups, and each group of winding assembly 2 is used to accommodate a soft pipeline.

[0027] In addition, each winding assembly 2 is not limited to including two winding positioning members 20, and may also have more winding positioning members 20 to form positioning points for the winding of the soft pipe.

[0028] The winding positioner 20 is not limited to a hook structure, and can also be a nail-shaped structure extending radially along the barrel 1. However, compared to the nail-shaped structure, the hook-shaped winding positioner 2 with the hook portion 21 in this embodiment can limit the soft pipe in the radial direction of the barrel 1, preventing the soft pipe wound on the winding positioner 2 from falling out, thereby improving the reliability of the soft pipe storage.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the storage cylinder of the present invention also includes a cylinder cover 3, which is detachably mounted on the end of the cylinder body 1. The cylinder body 1 and the cylinder cover 3 are detachably connected through a locking mechanism 4. The locking mechanism 4 includes a first locking catch 41 and a second locking catch 42. The first locking catch 41 is rotatably arranged on the cylinder cover 3, and the second locking catch 42 is fixedly arranged on the cylinder body 1. The second locking catch 42 is provided with a locking groove 421. The first locking catch 41 is detachably inserted into the locking groove 421 by interference fit, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the cylinder body 1 and the cylinder cover 3.

[0030] The side wall of the cylinder 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating soft pipes. In the axial direction of the cylinder 1, one end of the receiving groove 11 extends to the end of the cylinder 1 for mounting the cylinder cover 3, and the other end extends to protrude from the cylinder cover 3. The receiving groove 11 of this embodiment passes through the side wall of the cylinder 1, so that the receiving groove 11 is used to pass the water supply wire 200 therethrough and extends from the inside of the cylinder 1 to the outside of the cylinder 1, and the receiving groove 11 is a straight groove extending along the axial direction of the cylinder 1. In other embodiments, the receiving groove can also be a groove provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The shape of the receiving groove 11 is not limited to a straight groove, and can also be an arc-shaped groove with a certain extension in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 1.

[0031] The presence of the storage groove 11 allows one end of the water line 200 to remain within the cleaning rod 100. When disassembling and storing the cleaning rod 100 and water line 200, there is no need to completely remove the water line 200 from the cleaning rod 100. Instead, the end of the water line 200, which is inserted into the cleaning rod 100, can be pulled out as the cleaning rod 100 retracts. Furthermore, a portion of the water line 200 remains within the barrel 1, which helps secure the water line 200.

[0032] The working process of the present invention is as follows: taking a cleaning machine as an example, the cleaning rod 100 and the water and electricity line on the cleaning machine are removed, the cleaning rod 100 is retracted and inserted into the cylinder 1, the water and electricity line 200 extends from the opening of the cylinder 1, passes through the storage groove 11, and is reciprocated and wound around the two winding positioning parts 20 of the winding assembly 2, thereby storing the water and electricity line 200; the cylinder cover 3 covers the opening of the cylinder 1 and is locked by the locking mechanism 4.

[0033] Although the present invention is specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that various changes made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
