Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of photovoltaic maintenance equipment, and in particular to a maintenance vehicle for water photovoltaics. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation utilizes the photovoltaic effect at the interface of semiconductors to directly convert sunlight into electricity. With the advancement of technology, the use of photovoltaics has gradually expanded from land to waterfront areas such as fish ponds and lakes. Arrays of photovoltaic panels are installed above the water surface, creating a "power generation above and fish farming below" model.

[0003] In this model, inverters are typically installed in multiple ponds, requiring inspection personnel to travel by boat to designated locations for maintenance. However, ordinary boats tend to rock on the water, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to maintain steady footing. Furthermore, they can only repair inverters located low down, making it difficult to repair photovoltaic panels located higher up, significantly extending maintenance cycles. Furthermore, transporting equipment over water is difficult and inconvenient, and ordinary boats cannot guarantee personnel safety in the event of a malfunction. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0026] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the outline of the corresponding component. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" used in the present disclosure are to distinguish one element from another and have no order or importance. In addition, when the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0027] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a maintenance vehicle for water photovoltaics, which is used for maintenance operations on photovoltaic panels installed on the water. Specifically, the maintenance vehicle includes a planing hull 1, a lifting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The lifting mechanism is arranged on the planing hull 1. The lifting mechanism includes a first drive assembly 202 and a carrying platform 201. The first drive assembly 202 is used to drive the carrying platform 201 to move along a first direction Z. At least one of the two opposite sides of the carrying platform 201 along a second direction Y is provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping the support column of the photovoltaic panel located on the water, so as to prevent the planing hull from shaking due to wind and waves during water operations, causing personnel to become unstable.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, a lifting mechanism is set on the planing hull 1 to enable operators to inspect and repair photovoltaic panels at high places. A clamping mechanism is set on the lifting mechanism to clamp the support columns of the photovoltaic panels located above the water to prevent the planing hull 1 from shaking during inspection by operators, thereby enhancing the safety of the operation process.

[0029] The planing hull 1 can adopt any suitable structure. Figure 1The figure only shows the skeleton of the planing hull 1 by way of example. It is understandable that the skeleton should also be provided with structures such as a shell, and the present disclosure does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0030] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism may include a first shell 301, a second shell 302 and a clamping claw 303. The first shell 301 is connected to the supporting platform 201, and the second shell 302 is rotatably connected to the first shell 301 through a rotating shaft. A first driving motor is provided in the first shell 301, and the first driving motor is connected to the rotating shaft for driving the second shell 302 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft, so that the second shell 302 can rotate to a first direction Z perpendicular to the second direction Y, which can facilitate the cleaning of water garbage in the photovoltaic area. The end of the second shell 302 facing away from the first shell 301 is connected to the clamping claw 303, and a driving member is provided in the second shell 302 for driving the clamping claw 303 to open or close so as to clamp the support column for supporting the water photovoltaic panel.

[0031] The number of clamping mechanisms can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of clamping mechanisms can be four, and the four clamping structures form a group of two. The two groups of clamping mechanisms can be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the carrying platform 201 along the second direction Y. Of course, the number of clamping mechanisms can also be two or six. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0032] The connection method between the first shell 301 and the supporting platform 201 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the first shell 301 can be hinged to the supporting platform 201 so that the first shell 301 can be rotated to the first direction Z perpendicular to the second direction Y. In this way, when the maintenance vehicle is not in use, the supporting platform 201 can be lowered into the receiving groove of the planing hull 1; preferably, a stop plate can be provided at the bottom of the hinge between the first shell 301 and the supporting platform 201 to support and stop the first shell 301 below the hinge to prevent the first shell 301 from colliding with the planing hull 1, so as to improve the safety of the operation process. In addition, a locking mechanism can be provided to unlockably lock the first shell 301 to the supporting platform 201. For example, after the first shell 301 is rotated upward to be parallel to the first direction Z, the first shell 301 can be locked to the supporting platform for storage to reduce space occupation. The locking structure can adopt any suitable structure, for example, a bolt and nut or a locking pin structure can be adopted, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0033] The structure of the driving member can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the driving member can be constructed as an electric push rod or a telescopic cylinder or other adaptive structures. The clamp 303 can adopt an existing mechanical gripper, which can be opened or closed by the drive of the electric push rod or the telescopic cylinder. The specific structure and action mode of the mechanical gripper can adopt the existing technology well known in the art, and will not be repeated in this disclosure.

[0034] In addition, the first drive motor and the rotating shaft can be connected in any suitable manner, for example, through gear transmission or synchronous belt transmission. The purpose is that the first drive motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the second shell 302 to rotate relative to the first shell 301.

[0035] Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the clamping structure may include a robotic arm and a robotic gripper, with one end of the robotic arm connected to the carrying platform 201 and the other end connected to the robotic gripper, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0036] In order to facilitate the transportation of large objects, in some feasible ways, for example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the maintenance vehicle may include a vehicle-mounted crane provided on a carrying platform 201. Large objects can be lifted onto, for example, a transport ship by the vehicle-mounted crane to facilitate transportation.

[0037] The vehicle-mounted crane may include a support base 401 extending along a first direction Z, a lifting beam 402, a crane winch 403, and a hook 404. The support base 401 is rotatably connected to the supporting platform 201 about its own central axis. One end of the lifting beam 402 is hinged to the support base 401, and the other end is provided with a crane winch 403. The crane winch 403 is connected to the hook 404 so that the hook 404 can be retracted or extended toward or away from the crane winch 403. Preferably, the crane winch 403 may include a motor, and the motor drives the crane winch 403 to achieve the retraction or extension of the hook 404. This disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0038] Alternatively, the vehicle-mounted crane may be any existing crane with a suitable structure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0039] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the maintenance vehicle can also include a fire-fighting mechanism, which includes a base 501, a water inlet pipe 503 and a fire-fighting water cannon 502. The base 501 is set on the supporting platform 201, and the fire-fighting water cannon 502 is connected to the base 501. One end of the water inlet pipe 503 is passed through the inside of the base 501 and is connected to the fire-fighting water cannon 502. When an emergency such as a fire occurs in the water photovoltaic area, the fire point can be extinguished in time to shorten the rescue time and reduce losses.

[0040] It should be noted that the water inlet pipe 503 can be stored inside the base 501 when not in use. If an emergency occurs, the water inlet pipe 503 can be taken out, and the end of the water inlet pipe 503 away from the fire water monitor 502 can be submerged in the water, and the fire water monitor 502 can be started.

[0041] The structure of the base 501 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the base 501 can be constructed to include an openable and closable door panel to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the fire water monitor 502 and the disassembly of the fire water monitor 502 and the water inlet pipe 503.

[0042] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the first drive assembly 202 can be constructed as a scissor-type lifting mechanism, and the carrying platform 201 is connected to the planing hull 1 through the scissor-type lifting mechanism, thereby enhancing the carrying capacity of the carrying platform 201 and ensuring the safety and stability of the operation process.

[0043] The structural limitation of the first drive assembly 202 in this disclosure is only for the purpose of this disclosure. The structure of the first drive assembly 202 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the first drive assembly 202 can also be configured as a hydraulic lifting platform. This disclosure does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0044] In order to ensure the safety of the maintenance personnel's work process, some feasible methods are as follows, for example, Figure 1 As shown, a guardrail 203 may also be provided on the carrying platform 201 to prevent maintenance personnel from falling into the water during maintenance.

[0045] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the planing hull 1 may further include at least two sets of wheel groups 110 arranged at intervals along the third direction X, each set of wheel groups 110 includes two wheels respectively arranged on both sides of the planing hull 1 along the second direction Y, and the planing hull 1 can be moved on water or land by rotating the wheels; preferably, for example, the wheels can adopt duck-web tires.

[0046] It should be noted that a control console 7 can also be provided on the planing hull 1. A second drive motor 701 is provided in the control console 7 for driving the wheels to rotate to drive the planing hull 1 to move. A direction rod 702 for controlling the direction of movement of the wheels is provided on the control console 7. The specific structure of the control console 7 and the relevant control system can be referred to the amphibious vehicle, and will not be repeated in this disclosure.

[0047] A seat 120 may also be provided on the planing hull 1 . The seat 120 is provided between the control console 7 and the lifting mechanism to facilitate operation of the control console 7 by maintenance personnel.

[0048] In order to prevent the planing hull 1 from being entangled with floating objects in the water during movement, which makes it difficult for the planing hull 1 to move, or when the maintenance vehicle is stuck in a bad environment such as a mud pit when driving on land, in some feasible ways, for example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, an electric winch 130 can also be provided on the planing hull 1. The electric winch 130 can ensure the self-rescue and rescue of the maintenance vehicle in adverse environments, so as to improve the safety of the operation process.

[0049] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the maintenance vehicle may further include pontoons 6, which are provided on opposite sides of the planing hull 1 along the second direction Y. The pontoons 6 are used to enhance the overall buoyancy of the planing hull 1 and ensure the safety of the water movement process.

[0050] It should be noted that the connection between the pontoon 6 and the planing hull 1 can be detachable, for example, by a threaded connection, so that when the maintenance vehicle moves on land, the pontoon 6 can be removed to reduce the weight of the vehicle body.

[0051] In some embodiments, for example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, there may be two wheel sets 110, and the pontoon 6 may be located between the two wheel sets 110. The two wheel sets 110 can ensure the stability of the maintenance vehicle when traveling on land, while improving the adaptability of the maintenance vehicle.

[0052] The number of wheel sets 110 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the number of wheel sets 110 can be three or four. This disclosure does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0053] The number of pontoons 6 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of pontoons 6 can be six, with the six pontoons 6 grouped in pairs. Two of the groups of pontoons 6 can be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the planing hull 1 along the second direction Y and can be located between the two sets of wheels 110. The other group of pontoons 6 can be arranged on the side away from the electric winch along the third direction X, thereby further enhancing the wading ability of the maintenance vehicle. The number of pontoons 6 can also be three or four. This disclosure does not specifically limit this.

[0054] It is understandable that, after the shell is installed on the frame of the planing hull 1 as described above, the buoyancy tank 6 can also be installed on the shell according to actual needs. This disclosure does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple variations can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple variations all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner unless there is any contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0056] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
