[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0034] A cleaning mechanism for photovoltaic panels, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a housing 1. Side plates 12 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 1. Two sets of first cleaning roller brushes 14 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the side plates 12. A second cleaning roller brush 15 is rotatably connected to the surface of the side plates 12 at the middle position of the two sets of first cleaning roller brushes 14. A limit slot 151 is opened at the center of the outer wall of one side of both the second cleaning roller brush 15 and the first cleaning roller brush 14. A fixing component 2 is installed inside the limit slot 151.

[0035] The fixing component 2 includes a tube 21 that is inserted into the limiting slot 151 at one end. Limiting rods 211 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the tube 21. A cavity is opened inside the tube 21. A sliding plate 23 is slidably connected to the cavity inside the tube 21. A locking rod 24 is slidably installed on both sides of the sliding plate 23. A T-block 26 is fixedly connected to the center of one outer wall of the sliding plate 23. A spring 25 is sleeved on the outer wall of the T-block 26. A synchronous pulley 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the outer wall at one end of the tube 21.

[0036] By first removing the protective cover 13, then pulling out the T-block 26 and the slide plate 23, the inclined groove 231 simultaneously drives the two sets of locking rods 24 to retract inward. At this time, the spring 25 is compressed to prepare for the reset of the slide plate 23 and the two sets of locking rods 24. Then, the insert 21 is pulled out from the spline sleeve 121 installed on the surface of the side plate 12 and from the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the first cleaning roller brush 14 and the second cleaning roller brush 15, effectively improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 - Figure 6 The outer wall of the insert 21 near the synchronous pulley 22 is connected with multiple sets of limiting strips 212 in an equiangular array around the center. The T-block 26 passes through the synchronous pulley 22. The outer wall of the slide plate 23 is symmetrically provided with two sets of inclined grooves 231. One end of the clamping rod 24 is fixed with an insert rod, which extends to the inner wall of the inclined groove 231. The synchronous pulley 22 installed on one side of the second cleaning roller brush 15 is larger than the synchronous pulleys 22 on both sides.

The inner wall shape of the spline sleeve 121 matches the limiting rod 211. A spline shaft 152 is fixedly connected to the center of the outer wall of the second cleaning roller brush 15 and the first cleaning roller brush 14 away from the fixing component 2. A first pulley is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of one set of spline shafts 152. By setting the above structure, the first pulley is connected to the motor 16 through the transmission belt to realize the transmission of power.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 The outer wall of the side plate 12 is fitted with a protective cover 13 by snap-fit. The upper surface of the housing 1 is fixedly fitted with an upper cover 11 by bolts. Multiple sets of second nozzles 112 are fixedly fitted on some of the lower surfaces of the upper cover 11. The inner wall of the housing 1 is fixedly fitted with a first nozzle 111 in the gap between the second cleaning roller brush 15 and the first cleaning roller brush 14. The first nozzle 111 and the second nozzle 112 are connected by an embedded pipe, which passes through the outer wall of the upper cover 11. By setting the above structure, the protective cover 13 can protect the fixing component 2 and multiple sets of spline shafts 152. The multiple sets of first nozzles 111 and second nozzles 112 are connected to the external water supply equipment through the embedded pipe, which can strengthen the rinsing of the sewage generated during cleaning and avoid secondary re-rinsing.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 A motor 16 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of one side of the housing 1. A second pulley is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 16, and the first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a transmission belt. By setting the above structure, the motor 16, together with the first pulley and the second pulley, provides power to the second cleaning roller brush 15 and the first cleaning roller brush 14.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5A connecting block 17 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the upper cover 11. A splicing rod 171 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side of the connecting block 17 away from the upper cover 11. With the above structure, the splicing rod 171 is a multi-segment splicing structure. Matching threaded grooves are opened at the splicing points, which can meet the needs of different lengths.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the protective cover 13 is disassembled, then the T block 26 and the slide plate 23 are pulled out. The inclined groove 231 simultaneously drives the two sets of locking rods 24 to retract inward. At this time, the spring 25 is compressed to prepare for the reset of the slide plate 23 and the two sets of locking rods 24. Then, the insert 21 is pulled out from the spline sleeve 121 installed on the surface of the side plate 12 and from the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the first cleaning roller brush 14 and the second cleaning roller brush 15, effectively improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
