[0034] As Figs. 1 to 3As shown, the embodiment provides a walking mechanism, which is assembled on the base 100 of the operation and maintenance equipment of the photovoltaic module 101. The walking mechanism can move along the steel strand 102 connected to the photovoltaic module 101, thereby driving the operation and maintenance equipment to move between two photovoltaic modules 101. The walking mechanism includes a connecting plate 1, a driving wheel assembly 2, and two auxiliary wheel assemblies 3. The connecting plate 1 is connected to the base 100. The driving wheel assembly 2 is arranged in the middle region of the connecting plate 1. The two auxiliary wheel assemblies 3 are connected to the connecting plate 1 and arranged on the two sides of the driving wheel assembly 2. In this way, the overall structure of the walking mechanism is stable, and the walking mechanism can move more stably on the steel strand 102. The auxiliary wheel assembly 3 is arranged on the two sides of the driving wheel assembly 2 to further improve the stability of the walking mechanism during the turning process between the two photovoltaic modules 101. The auxiliary wheel assembly 3 includes a connecting piece 31, a movable wheel 32, and a guide piece 33. The connecting piece 31 connects the movable wheel 32 and the connecting plate 1. The guide piece 33 is arranged on one side of the movable wheel 32 and fixedly connected to the connecting piece 31. One side of the guide piece 33 facing the photovoltaic module 101 is provided with an upwardly inclined arc surface. Therefore, when the walking mechanism moves along the steel strand 102, the arc surface on the guide piece 33 is in close contact with the side edge of the photovoltaic module 101. At this time, the arc surface plays a guiding role for the movable wheel 32. Under the action of the arc surface, the movable wheel 32 can quickly and smoothly enter the photovoltaic module 101.

As an example, the driving wheel assembly 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a driving wheel 22, and a driving piece 23. The mounting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1. The mounting frame 21 has a first mounting groove 211. The driving wheel 22 is arranged in the first mounting groove 211. The output end of the driving piece 23 is arranged in the first mounting groove 211 and the driving wheel 22. The driving piece 23 drives the driving wheel 22 to move after being started. The driving wheel 22 drives the movable wheel 32 to move, thereby enabling the operation and maintenance equipment to move along the steel strand 102. The main body of the driving piece 23 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 1. Specifically, the main body of the driving piece 23 is fixed on the connecting plate 1 by bolts.
