Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic panel surface cleaning device, including a water tank 11, a hydraulic rod 18 on one side of the water tank 11, a photovoltaic panel body 19 at one end of the hydraulic rod 18, mounting frames 12 on both sides of the photovoltaic panel body 19, a servo motor 13 at the top of one set of mounting frames 12, a lead screw 14 at the output end of the servo motor 13, a fixing block 15 on the surface of the lead screw 14, a reduction motor 16 on one side of the fixing block 15, a cleaning roller 17 at the output end of the reduction motor 16, a water pump 2 at the top of the water tank 11, a conveying pipe 21 on one side of the water pump 2, and a spray plate 22 at one end of the conveying pipe 21. The device connects the photovoltaic panel body 19, the servo motor 13, and the photovoltaic panel body 19. The screw 14, the fixed block 15, the geared motor 16, and the cleaning roller 17 work together to allow the operator to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19. First, the operator can start the servo motor 13 to rotate the screw 14, which in turn moves the fixed block 15. The fixed block 15 then moves the geared motor 16 synchronously. At this point, the operator can start the geared motor 16 to rotate the cleaning roller 17, causing the geared motor 16 to move laterally. Simultaneously, the cleaning roller 17 can also rotate to clean dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19, preventing dust from obstructing the absorption and utilization of sunlight and avoiding any adverse effects on the power generation efficiency and lifespan of the photovoltaic panel body 19.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4In a preferred embodiment, mounting plates 26 are provided on both sides of the photovoltaic panel body 19. A bearing sleeve is provided on one side of one set of mounting plates 26, and one end of the lead screw 14 is connected to the bearing sleeve. A limit rod 24 is provided on one side of the photovoltaic panel body 19, and the limit rod 24 is located inside one set of fixing blocks 15. A combination frame 25 is rotatably mounted on one side of the water tank 11 and the rear of the photovoltaic panel body 19. Several support rods 28 are provided on the other side of the water tank 11. By providing support rods 28, the stability of the water tank 11 can be improved. A water collection trough 23 is provided at the top of the support rods 28, allowing rainwater to be collected. A water inlet pipe 27 is provided between the water collection trough 23 and the water tank 11. Through the cooperation of the photovoltaic panel body 19, hydraulic rod 18, combination frame 25, water pump 2, spray plate 22, cleaning roller 17, and water collection trough 23, the system can be adjusted when the operator needs to lift the water tank. To improve the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel body 19, the operator can activate the hydraulic rod 18 for retraction. During retraction, the photovoltaic panel body 19 can rotate slightly. When rotating, the combination frame 25 can drive the bottom of the photovoltaic panel body 19 to rotate synchronously. When it rotates to below the spray plate 22, the operator can activate the water pump 2 to extract water and deliver it to the spray plate 22, thereby spraying the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19. After spraying, the servo motor 13 is activated to drive the cleaning roller 17 to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel body 19 and making it convenient for the operator to use. When the water tank 11 needs to be replenished, the operator can use an external water source and fill the water tank 11 with water. By setting up a water collection tank 23, the water tank 11 can also be replenished when it rains, making it convenient for the operator to use.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, the spray plate 22 is inclined, which allows for the interchangeable spraying of the photovoltaic panel body 19. The spray plate 22 is positioned diagonally above the photovoltaic panel body 19. A groove is provided on one side of the water tank 11 to prevent the photovoltaic panel body 19 from colliding with the water tank 11 when it moves. The groove is larger than the size of the photovoltaic panel body 19. A PLC controller is provided on one side of the water tank 11 to control the servo motor 13, the geared motor 16, the hydraulic rod 18, and the water pump 2. A protective railing is provided above the PLC controller to protect it.

[0029] Specifically, the working process or principle of this photovoltaic panel surface cleaning device is as follows: In the usual method of cleaning photovoltaic panel surfaces, the operator manually cleans the dust and dirt from the surface. While this method can clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel, it is time-consuming, inefficient, and the cleaning effect is not ideal, making it inconvenient for the operator. Therefore, this technical solution can solve the above problems. When the operator needs to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19, the operator can first start the servo motor 13 to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate. The lead screw 14 drives the fixed block 15 to move, and the fixed block 15 drives the reduction motor 16 to move synchronously. At this time, the operator can start the reduction motor 16 to drive the cleaning roller 17 to rotate, thereby causing the reduction motor 16 to move laterally. Simultaneously, the cleaning roller 17 can also rotate to clean the dust on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 19, preventing dust from blocking the absorption and utilization of sunlight by the photovoltaic panel body 19 and preventing dust from damaging the photovoltaic panel body. The photovoltaic panel 19 has an adverse effect on its power generation efficiency and service life. When the operator needs to improve the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel 19, the operator can start the hydraulic rod 18 for retrieval. When retrieving, the photovoltaic panel 19 can rotate slightly. When rotating, the combination frame 25 can drive the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 19 to rotate synchronously. When it rotates to the bottom of the spray plate 22, the operator can start the water pump 2 to extract water and deliver it to the spray plate 22, so that the surface of the photovoltaic panel 19 can be sprayed. After spraying, the servo motor 13 is started to drive the cleaning roller 17 to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel 19, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the photovoltaic panel 19 and making it convenient for the operator to use. When the water tank 11 needs to be replenished, the operator can use an external water source and fill the water tank 11 with water. By setting up the water collection tank 23, the water tank 11 can also be replenished when it rains, making it convenient for the operator to use. All processes are now complete.

[0030] It should be noted that the servo motor 13, the geared motor 16, the hydraulic rod 18 and the water pump 2 are all electrically connected to an external power supply and are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented with existing technology. Their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.
