Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photovoltaic panels in photovoltaic power plants tend to accumulate dust over long periods of time. Dust-covered photovoltaic panels are usually cleaned automatically by cleaning robots. However, before cleaning a photovoltaic panel, a person usually needs to place the cleaning robot on the panel and wait for it to be cleaned before placing it on another panel. This process continues until all photovoltaic panels are cleaned. The entire cleaning process requires staff to wait nearby, which is inconvenient. Therefore, a conveying device is needed to transport the cleaning robot between the photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a fixed-track walking conveyor for walking on a fixed track 100 to transport a photovoltaic panel cleaning robot. The fixed-track walking conveyor includes a housing 1, a walking mechanism 2, a support plate 3, an adjustment mechanism 4, and a dustproof component 5.

[0059] The walking mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0060] The support plate 3 is located above the housing 1 and is used to support the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot.

[0061] The adjustment mechanism 4 is located inside the housing 1 and connected to the bottom of the support plate 3, and is used to adjust the height and / or tilt angle of the support plate 3.

[0062] The dustproof component 5 is connected between the housing 1 and the support plate 3.

[0063] The fixed track 100 can be laid along one side of multiple photovoltaic panels. The support plate 3 can be used to carry the cleaning robot. The adjustment mechanism 4 can be used to adjust the height or tilt angle of the support plate 3, or adjust the height and tilt angle simultaneously. The dustproof part 5 can prevent dust from entering the housing 1 when the support plate 3 is raised, lowered and / or tilted. The walking mechanism 2 is suitable for walking on the fixed track 100. When it walks to the position of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, the walking mechanism 2 stops. If the height of the photovoltaic panel is different from the height of the support plate 3, the adjustment mechanism 4 can adjust the support plate 3 to make it the same height as the photovoltaic panel. If the photovoltaic panel is tilted, the adjustment mechanism 4 can adjust the tilt angle of the support plate 3 to make the support plate 3 coplanar with the photovoltaic panel. After adjustment, a signal can be sent to the cleaning robot on the support plate 3, and the cleaning robot can walk to the photovoltaic panel to clean it. After cleaning, it returns to the support plate 3. The adjustment mechanism 4 adjusts the support plate 3 to be horizontal and then transports the cleaning robot to the next photovoltaic panel to be cleaned until the entire cleaning process is completed.

[0064] This embodiment, by setting an adjustment mechanism 4 inside the housing 1 and connecting the adjustment mechanism 4 to the support plate 3, allows for adjustment of the height and / or tilt angle of the support plate 3. When the walking mechanism 2 at the bottom of the housing 1 travels on the fixed track 100 to the side of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, the cleaning robot support 4 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 4 to be coplanar with the photovoltaic panel, facilitating the cleaning robot to walk onto the photovoltaic panel. After the photovoltaic panel is cleaned, the cleaning robot returns to the support plate 3. After the support plate 3 is adjusted to be horizontal, the walking mechanism 2 moves to the side of the next photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, thereby transporting the cleaning robot to the next photovoltaic panel to be cleaned until the entire cleaning process is completed. This solves the problem of staff having to wait on the side when the cleaning robot is cleaning the photovoltaic panel.

[0065] Further, please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 4 includes a lifting component 41, which includes a horizontal moving frame 411, a vertical moving frame 412, a linkage component 413, and a driving component 414.

[0066] The horizontal moving frame 411 is slidably connected inside the housing 1.

[0067] The vertical moving frame 412 is slidably connected inside the housing 1 and connected to the bearing plate 3.

[0068] The linkage component 413 is connected between the horizontal moving frame 411 and the vertical moving frame 412, and is used to convert the horizontal movement of the horizontal moving frame 411 into the vertical movement of the vertical moving frame 412.

[0069] The drive component 414 is arranged laterally along the housing 1 and is connected to the horizontal moving frame 411 for driving the horizontal moving frame 411 to move horizontally.

[0070] The driving component 414 can be a pneumatic rod, a hydraulic rod, or a linear motor. The driving component 414 is arranged laterally along the housing 1 to reduce the height of the housing 1, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the walking conveyor and making it more stable when walking on the fixed track 100. When the driving component 414 drives the horizontal moving frame 411 to move horizontally, the linkage component 413 can synchronously drive the vertical moving frame 412 to move vertically, thereby driving the bearing plate 3 to rise and fall.

[0071] Further, please see Figure 4 The linkage component 413 includes a guide groove 4131 and a guide block 4132.

[0072] The guide groove 4131 is provided on the vertical moving frame 412, and the guide groove 4131 extends obliquely along the length direction of the vertical moving frame 412 towards its height direction.

[0073] The guide block 4132 is mounted on the horizontal moving frame 411 and is slidably connected in the guide groove 4131.

[0074] Specifically, along the length of the vertical moving frame 412, the guide groove 4131 can be tilted upwards or downwards. When the horizontal moving frame 411 moves horizontally, the guide block 4132 moves synchronously. Since the guide block 4132 slides within the guide groove 4131, its horizontal movement can push the vertical moving frame 412 upwards or pull it downwards. The tilt direction of the guide groove 4131 determines the correspondence between the horizontal movement direction of the horizontal moving frame 411 and the vertical movement direction of the vertical moving frame 412. The specific correspondence can be designed according to actual needs. To reduce the friction between the guide block 4132 and the guide groove 4131, a roller can be hinged to the outside of the guide block 4132. The radial width of the roller can be smaller than the width of the guide groove 4131.

[0075] Further reading is available upon request. Figure 4 The lifting assembly 41 also includes a horizontal rail 415, a horizontal slide 416, a vertical slide 417, and a vertical rail 418.

[0076] The horizontal track 415 is located at the bottom inside the housing 1.

[0077] A horizontal slide block 416 is located at the bottom of the horizontal moving frame 411 and slides in conjunction with the horizontal track 415, thereby reducing the friction between the horizontal moving frame 411 and the housing 1.

[0078] The vertical slide 417 is located on the inner side wall of the housing 1.

[0079] The vertical track 418 is located on the side of the vertical moving frame 412 and slides with the vertical slide block 417, thereby reducing the friction between the vertical moving frame 412 and the housing 1.

[0080] Further, please see Figure 5 The adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a flipping assembly 42, which includes a first hinge seat 421, a second hinge seat 422, and a telescopic rod 423.

[0081] The first hinge seat 421 connects to the housing 1 or the vertical moving frame 412.

[0082] The second hinge seat 422 is located at the bottom of the bearing plate 3.

[0083] The telescopic rod 423 is inclined along the transverse direction of the housing 1 towards its height, with one end connected to the first hinge seat 421 and the other end connected to the second hinge seat 422.

[0084] The telescopic rod 423 can be a pneumatic rod, a hydraulic rod, or a linear motor. When the first hinge seat 421 is connected to the vertical moving frame 412, the vertical moving frame 412 can lift and lower the first hinge seat 421 synchronously. The bottom of both ends of the bearing plate 3 can be connected to the second hinge seat 422 and the vertical moving frame 412 respectively. When the vertical moving frame 412 is lifted and lowered, the bearing plate 3 can maintain horizontal lifting and lowering to adjust its height. After the height is adjusted, the telescopic rod 423 can be extended and retracted, thereby lifting or pulling back the second hinge seat 422 to adjust the tilt angle of the bearing plate 3.

[0085] Further, please see Figure 6 The walking mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21, a drive shaft 22, a drive wheel 23, and a transmission assembly 24.

[0086] The drive motor 21 is mounted on the housing 1.

[0087] The drive shaft 22 rotates and connects to the housing 1.

[0088] The drive wheels 23 are located at both ends of the drive shaft 22.

[0089] The transmission assembly 24 is connected between the drive motor 21 and the drive shaft 22.

[0090] Specifically, the transmission component 24 can be a reducer and a transmission belt. The reducer can be connected to the output end of the drive motor 21. After the output end of the drive motor 21 is reduced by the reducer, the power is transmitted to the drive shaft 22 through the transmission belt, thereby driving the drive wheel 23 to rotate.

[0091] Further, please see Figure 3 It also includes a height detection element 6 installed on the housing 1. The height detection element 6 can be a position sensor that can detect the distance between the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned and the carrier plate 3. Of course, a sensor for detecting the parallelism between the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned and the carrier plate 3 can also be installed on the support frame 1 to ensure that the carrier plate 3 is coplanar with the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned when adjusting the height and tilt angle.

[0092] Further, please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 It also includes a battery 7 and a control assembly 8 mounted on the housing 1. The control assembly 8 includes an electrical control box 81, a touch screen 82, a power switch 83, and an emergency stop switch 84. The electrical control box 81 is electrically connected to the battery 7, the touch screen 82, the power switch 83, the emergency stop switch 84, and the height detection element 6. The battery 7 supplies power to the various components of the walking conveyor. The electrical control box 81 can be programmed in advance. The touch screen 82, the power switch 83, and the emergency stop switch 84 can be used to control the start and stop of the walking conveyor.

[0093] Furthermore, the dustproof component 5 is a bellows cover, which can prevent dust from entering the housing 1 when the support plate 3 is raised and lowered.

[0094] Explanation of the principle:

[0095] The fixed track 100 can be laid out along one side of multiple photovoltaic panels. The support plate 3 can be used to carry the cleaning robot. The adjustment mechanism 4 can be used to adjust the height or tilt angle of the support plate 3, or adjust the height and tilt angle simultaneously. The walking mechanism 2 is suitable for walking on the fixed track 100. When it walks to the position of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned, the walking mechanism 2 stops. If the height of the photovoltaic panel is different from the height of the support plate 3, the adjustment mechanism 4 can adjust the support plate 3 to make it the same height as the photovoltaic panel. If the photovoltaic panel is placed at an angle, the adjustment mechanism 4 can adjust the tilt angle of the support plate 3 to make the support plate 3 coplanar with the photovoltaic panel. After adjustment, a signal can be sent to the cleaning robot on the support plate 3, and the cleaning robot can walk to the photovoltaic panel to clean it. After cleaning, it returns to the support plate 3. The adjustment mechanism 4 adjusts the support plate 3 to be horizontal and then transports the cleaning robot to the next photovoltaic panel to be cleaned until the entire cleaning process is completed.
