[0042] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 includes a charging station housing 10, a support 20, and a guide bridge 30. The charging station housing 10 is disposed above the support 20, and the guide bridge 30 is located between the charging station housing 10 and the support 20. The charging station housing 10 has a compartment 10a; the compartment 10a has an opening for the photovoltaic cleaning robot to enter and exit; the compartment 10a is used to accommodate the photovoltaic cleaning robot; the charging station housing 10 includes multiple protective plates 11, which form the compartment 10a and provide protection for the photovoltaic cleaning robot from multiple directions. The charging station housing 10 provides protection from multiple directions, and its design accommodates and protects the photovoltaic cleaning robot, preventing it from being exposed to the external environment and improving the protection provided by the housing component 100. The support 20 is used to erect the robot on the object to be erected; the support 20 supports the charging station housing 10; the guide bridge 30 faces the machine compartment 10a; the guide bridge 30 is arranged at an angle and is used to allow the photovoltaic cleaning robot to move, so that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can enter the machine compartment 10a of the charging station housing 10 through the guide bridge 30, thereby overcoming the height difference between the support 20 and the charging station housing 10.

[0043] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7 In this embodiment of the application, the charging station housing 10 is provided with a compartment 10a, which serves as the internal space of the charging station housing 10.

The compartment 10a has an opening for the photovoltaic cleaning robot to enter and exit, so that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can enter or leave the compartment 10a during movement. The compartment 10a is used to accommodate the photovoltaic cleaning robot, so that the charging station housing 10 can accommodate the photovoltaic cleaning robot through the compartment 10a. Optionally, the inner contour of the compartment 10a is larger than the outer contour of the photovoltaic cleaning robot.

[0044] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7 At this time, the charging station housing 10 includes multiple protective plates 11, which form a housing 10a and provide protection for the photovoltaic cleaning robot from multiple directions. Based on the multiple protective plates 11 providing protection for the photovoltaic cleaning robot from multiple directions, the charging station housing 10 is compatible with both the containment and protection effects for the photovoltaic cleaning robot, avoiding the photovoltaic cleaning robot from being exposed to the external environment and improving the protection effect of the housing component 100 for the photovoltaic cleaning robot.

[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7In this configuration, multiple protective plates 11 are arranged adjacently and connected to each other to facilitate mutual fixation and enclose the space to form a housing 10a. At least one protective plate 11 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 10b, which are spaced apart and all connected to the housing 10a. The ventilation holes 10b are used to supply airflow between the housing 10a and the external environment, so that airflow can reach the housing 10a through the ventilation holes 10b, thereby facilitating air contact with the photovoltaic cleaning robot inside the housing 10a and achieving a heat dissipation effect on the photovoltaic cleaning robot. Optionally, the ventilation holes 10b extend outward from the housing 10a and are arranged in a square or arc shape. By arranging multiple ventilation holes 10b, the heat dissipation efficiency of the air relative to the photovoltaic cleaning robot is increased, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the air relative to the photovoltaic cleaning robot.

Optionally, the two protective plates 11 arranged opposite each other are a left protective plate and a right protective plate, with the first ventilation hole 11a arranged relative to the left protective plate and the second ventilation hole 11b arranged relative to the right protective plate.

[0048] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7In this embodiment of the application, the plurality of protective plates 11 include a lower protective plate 13, which is located between the left protective plate 11 and the right protective plate 11. The lower protective plate 13 supports the photovoltaic cleaning robot so that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can be arranged on the upper side of the lower protective plate 13. The lower protective plate 13 is used for the movement of the photovoltaic cleaning robot's wheels so as to adjust the position of the photovoltaic cleaning robot relative to the lower protective plate 13.

[0049] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7 At this time, the lower protective plate 13 and the adjacent protective plate 11 are provided with a through hole 13a. The through hole 13a is located on the lower side of the machine compartment 10a and is connected to the machine compartment 10a. The through hole 13a is used to supply air into the machine compartment 10a, so that the air can enter the machine compartment 10a from bottom to top through the hole 13a, thereby facilitating the air to come into contact with the photovoltaic cleaning robot in the machine compartment 10a, and thus facilitating the air to dissipate heat from the photovoltaic cleaning robot. At the same time, drainage and dust removal are carried out through the through hole 13a, making full use of the space of the through hole 13a.

[0050] The first ventilation hole 11a, the second ventilation hole 11b, and the through hole 13a are located at different positions on the charging station housing 10, so that the wind can flow to the housing 10a in multiple directions, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the photovoltaic cleaning robot. At the same time, it ensures the technical effect of drainage and dust removal of the housing component 100.

[0051] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 4-7 The exposed portion of the photovoltaic cleaning robot in the housing 10a allows users to observe its status through the housing 10a, ensuring its normal operation.

[0053] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 8 In this embodiment of the application, the guide bridge 30 is disposed on the front side of the charging station housing 10 and faces the machine compartment 10a; the guide bridge 30 is arranged at an angle and is used for the photovoltaic cleaning robot to move, so that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can enter the machine compartment 10a of the charging station housing 10 through the guide bridge 30 to overcome the height difference between the support 20 and the charging station housing 10.
