Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, and more particularly to an automatic cleaning device for photovoltaic panels. Background Art

[0002] In existing technologies, existing automatic photovoltaic panel cleaning devices may lack flexibility when cleaning the surface of photovoltaic panels. This may be because the cleaning mechanism of the device is not designed with sufficient precision to effectively clean the different curves and angles of the photovoltaic panels. Therefore, during the cleaning process, the device may not be able to completely cover all parts of the photovoltaic panel, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effects and leaving stains and moisture.

[0003] After cleaning, water stains may remain on the surface of the photovoltaic panels, which will affect the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panels. The current device requires a scraper to remove these water stains after use, but the existing device lacks a component for quickly releasing the scraper. This means that during the operation of scraping off the water stains, the operator may need to spend extra time and energy to manually release the scraper, which increases the complexity and time cost of maintenance.

[0004] During the cleaning process, stable fixation of the scraper is the key to ensuring the cleaning effect. However, existing devices may not be able to stably fix the scraper. This may be due to the scraper fixing component being designed not strong enough or lacking an effective locking mechanism. This instability may cause the scraper to shift or fall off during the cleaning process, affecting the cleaning effect and even damaging the photovoltaic panel. Utility Model Content

[0036] In this embodiment, during use, the first motor 7 is manually started to drive the driving wheel 11 at the output end to rotate, and under the action of the transmission belt 13, the driven wheel 12 is driven to rotate, so that the moving frame 6 connected to the transmission belt 13 is driven to move along the fixed box 4, and the longitudinal moving wheel 17 is used to move. When it needs to move horizontally, the third motor 14 is manually started to mobilize the mounting wheel 15 at the output end to rotate, so that the mounting wheel 15 moves along the fixed frame 2, so that the fixed box 4 uses the transverse moving wheel 16 to move horizontally along the fixed frame 2, and in the process of longitudinal movement, By manually starting the second motor 18, it drives the driving wheel 19 to rotate, and under the action of the driving belt 21, it drives the cylindrical brush 20 to rotate, so that during the movement of the moving frame 6, the cylindrical brush 20 is used to clean the surface of the plate body 3, and during the movement of the moving frame 6, the scraper 9 on the shell 8 is used to scrape off the water stains remaining on the surface of the plate body 3.

[0037] See also Figure 5-6 , as an implementation method of a photovoltaic panel automatic cleaning device for a fixed component: a fixed component is provided on the fixed sleeve 10, and the fixed component includes a guide rod 28, a movable ring 29 and a tension spring 30, the guide rod 28 is fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve 10, the movable ring 29 is slidably connected to the guide rod 28, the tension spring 30 is sleeved on the guide rod 28, and the two ends of the tension spring 30 are respectively connected to the movable ring 29 and the fixed sleeve 10, and the tension spring 30 is in a stretched state.

[0040] More specifically, when the locking groove 27 on the locking block 26 is moved to the moving groove 31 on the moving ring 29, the fixation of the moving ring 29 is released. At this time, under the elastic potential energy of the tension spring 30, the moving ring 29 is mobilized to slide along the guide rod 28, and as the moving ring 29 moves, the moving ring 29 releases the abutment against the locking block 32, so that the locking block 32 is driven by the elastic potential energy of the spring 33 to move out of the insertion groove 34 of the insertion rod 22, thereby releasing the fixation process of the insertion rod 22. At this time, the insertion rod 22 is slid out of the fixing sleeve 10, and then the replacement process of the scraper 9 can be carried out. After the replacement process is completed, the above operation is performed in reverse to complete the fixation process of the scraper 9.

[0042] When the locking groove 27 on the locking block 26 is moved to the moving groove 31 on the moving ring 29, the fixation of the moving ring 29 is released. At this time, under the elastic potential energy of the tension spring 30, the moving ring 29 is mobilized to slide along the guide rod 28, and as the moving ring 29 moves, the moving ring 29 is released from the abutment against the locking block 32, so that the locking block 32 is driven by the elastic potential energy of the spring 33 to move out of the insertion groove 34 of the insertion rod 22, thereby releasing the fixation process of the insertion rod 22.
