[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the solar panel spraying equipment in this embodiment includes an X-axis linear module 1, a bracket 2, a Y-axis drive device 3, a Z-axis linear module 4, a plasma cleaning head 5, an infrared lighting device 6, and a chemical spray head 7. Among them, the bracket 2 is the main body of the equipment, and the overall structure is a gantry frame, consisting of two vertical frames and a horizontal frame. The space below the horizontal frame is used to accommodate the solar panels for spraying operations. The remaining components of the solar panel spraying equipment are mounted on the bracket 2. Among them, the Y-axis drive device 3 is mounted below the vertical frame. During operation, it drives the spraying equipment to move parallel to the solar panels, performing continuous and automatic spraying operations. In this embodiment, the Y-axis drive device 3 includes a Y-axis fixed portion and a Y-axis moving portion extending along the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis fixed portion is mounted on the ground. The Y-axis moving portion cooperates with the Y-axis fixed portion, and the bracket 2 is fixed to the Y-axis moving portion. Similarly, the Y-axis moving portion drives the bracket 2 to move parallel to the Y-axis fixed portion under the command of the control system. It should be noted that the Y-axis drive device 3 can also be replaced by other structures, such as two sets of electric wheels installed at the bottom of the bracket 2, which can also drive the bracket 2 to move parallel to the Y-axis direction under the command of the control system. It should be noted that one Y-axis drive device 3 can also be fixed below the vertical frame, and the bottom of the other vertical frame cooperates with the ground through a sliding structure or a rolling structure. In this way, only one Y-axis drive device 3 needs to be controlled to achieve translation control of the bracket 2.

[0036] The X-axis linear module 1 includes an X-axis fixed portion extending along the X-axis direction and an X-axis moving portion cooperating therewith. Two sets of Z-axis linear modules 4 are installed on both sides of the X-axis moving portion. Each set of Z-axis linear modules 4 includes a Z-axis fixed portion extending along the Z-axis direction and a Z-axis moving portion cooperating therewith. The two Z-axis moving portions are respectively fixedly connected to a plasma cleaning head 5 and a chemical spray head 7. The two Z-axis moving portions drive the plasma cleaning head 5 and the chemical spray head 7 to move parallel to the Z-axis fixed portion under the command of the control system, respectively controlling the lifting and lowering movements of the plasma cleaning head 5 and the chemical spray head 7, and are used to adjust the distance between the plasma cleaning head 5 and the chemical spray head 7 and the solar panel to ensure the effect of plasma cleaning and the uniformity of spraying. It should be noted here that the X-axis linear module 1 and the Z-axis linear module 4 can use different structures such as ball screws, synchronous belts, gear racks, etc., and can all achieve the above technical effects.

[0037] The plasma cleaning head 5 is equipped with a dedicated power supply to control the frequency and energy of the plasma. The chemical spray head 7 is equipped with a dedicated liquid supply system. The spray atomization and fan width of the chemical spray head 7 can be parameterized to meet different chemical solutions and spraying requirements. Depending on the application, one or more spray guns can be configured. The infrared light device 6 is mounted on the surface of the Z-axis motion portion on one side of the chemical spray head 7. It is responsible for radiantly heating and baking the sprayed solar panel, quickly drying the chemical solution and improving the adhesion of the sprayed layer. The infrared light device 6 is equipped with an external power regulation electrical system to adjust the baking power as needed to improve spraying efficiency and save energy. The infrared light device 6 is equipped with a mirror-reflecting reflector that reflects infrared light from the solar panel back to the solar panel surface, improving heating efficiency and saving energy. The infrared light device 6 uses a specially designed lamp tube with a reflective coating on the upper half. The heating element of the lamp tube is made of a special material that emits infrared light in a specific wavelength band during heating, achieving high heating efficiency and energy conservation. The spraying equipment is equipped with an electrical automation control system that can be digitally controlled and operated, and is also equipped with a communication module that can remotely monitor and operate the equipment.

[0038] This equipment utilizes a gantry structure, integrating plasma cleaning, chemical spraying, and infrared baking. The simple, easy-to-implement structure and the use of a gantry manipulator structure require a small footprint, making it suitable for both in-plant production and maintenance and repair of solar panels in use. It also facilitates transport and operation outdoors. The gantry is equipped with a motion mechanism, and the spraying device features two motion mechanisms. Through the step-by-step motion of these mechanisms, continuous, automatic spraying of solar panels is achieved, significantly improving spraying efficiency.

[0039] This device mounts a plasma cleaning head 5 and a chemical spray head 7 on two sets of travel mechanisms. The cleaning head and spray gun are equipped with different height motion mechanisms. The plasma head is first used for plasma dry cleaning, achieving excellent cleaning results. The spray gun is then used to spray the protective liquid onto the solar panel, ensuring spray quality. Using the plasma cleaning head 5 for plasma dry cleaning effectively removes dust, oil, and other impurities from the surface of the solar panel, while also sterilizing and activating the surface, increasing its hydrophilicity, significantly enhancing the adhesion of the sprayed layer, and improving the durability of the spray. The chemical spray head 7 of this device features an automatic spray gun height mechanism, ensuring that the chemical spray head 7 always maintains a set height relative to the solar panel surface. The spray gun uses a specially designed spray gun, which can achieve the set fan width and atomization effect. This ensures high spray uniformity, ensures spray quality, and conserves chemical solutions, reducing costs. The drug spray head 7 of this equipment is installed with an infrared light device 6 to irradiate and bake the sprayed solar energy. The infrared lamp tube uses a special band and has high heating efficiency and high baking efficiency, which not only shortens the production cycle but also reduces energy consumption.
