[0044] Embodiment one
[0045] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the photovoltaic cleaning robot includes a brush head 3 and a driving device 20, and the brush head 3 is connected with the driving device 20 through a connecting structure. The driving device 20 drives the photovoltaic cleaning robot to walk on the photovoltaic panel, and the brush head 3 is used to clean the photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel includes a light-transmitting area and a photovoltaic frame located around the light-transmitting area, and the photovoltaic frame protrudes from the light-transmitting area.
[0046] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, a specific embodiment of the connecting structure provided in the embodiment is shown, and the connecting structure includes a fixing part 1 and a connecting part 2. The fixing part 1 is configured to be connected with the driving device 20, and a groove 19 is arranged on the fixing part 1, and one side of the groove 19 is an opening. The first end of the connecting part 2 is inserted into the groove 19, and the first end of the connecting part 2 is rotatably arranged in the groove 19, and the second end is used to connect the brush head 3. The first end of the connecting part 2 rotates in the groove 19, and the second end of the connecting part 2 swings in the vertical plane, that is, the connecting part 2 can swing back and forth in the opening of the groove 19. By rotating the first end of the connecting part 2 in the groove 19, the rotation of the connecting part 2 in the vertical direction can drive the brush head 3 to move in the vertical direction.
[0047] In the initial state (that is, when the brush head 3 is not in contact with the photovoltaic frame of the photovoltaic panel), the connecting part 2 abuts against the side end face of the groove 19 to support the brush head 3, so as to prevent the brush head 3 from excessively contacting the photovoltaic panel under the action of gravity and affecting the walking of the photovoltaic cleaning robot. When the brush head 3 encounters the photovoltaic frame, since the brush head 3 is lifted as a whole after moving onto the photovoltaic frame, the lifting of the brush head 3 will drive the connecting part 2 to rotate upward in the groove 19 with the rotation point as the center. At this time, the rotation of the connecting part 2 in the vertical direction will lift the brush head 3, so that the brush head 3 rolls over from above the photovoltaic frame and passes over the photovoltaic frame.
[0048] The connecting piece 2 can swing in the groove 19 by setting a groove 19 on the fixing piece 1. In the normal cleaning state, the brush head 3 keeps normal contact with the photovoltaic panel. When the brush head 3 contacts the photovoltaic frame, the brush head 3 meets the frame, and the connecting piece 2 rotates around the rotating point, avoiding the hard contact between the brush head 3 and the frame.
[0049] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 In the embodiment, the opening of the groove 19 is set on the upper end surface of the fixing piece 1, the first end of the connecting piece 2 is inserted into the groove 19 along the vertical direction, and the end of the connecting piece 2 is rotatably arranged in the groove 19. At this time, the second end of the connecting piece 2 is connected with the brush head 3, and the lower end of the brush head 3 contacts the photovoltaic panel. Under the action of gravity of the brush head 3, the connecting piece 2 always abuts against the side end surface of the groove 19 close to the brush head 3. When the brush head 3 meets the photovoltaic frame, the photovoltaic frame lifts the brush head 3, so that the connecting piece 2 rotates upward. By setting the opening of the groove 19 upward, it is more convenient to add lubricating liquid to the rotating part when needed, and the connection between the connecting piece 2 and the fixing piece 1 is more stable under the action of gravity. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the opening of the groove 19 can be set on the side end surface of the fixing piece 1, that is, the opening is horizontally set. At this time, the connecting piece 2 extends into the groove 19 along the horizontal direction, and the rotating connection between the connecting piece 2 and the groove 19 can also be realized. At this time, the connecting piece 2 abuts against the lower end surface of the groove 19 under the action of gravity.
[0050] As shown in Figure 2 In the embodiment, the lower end surface of the groove 19 is provided with a passage 4, and the passage 4 is a circular hole. After the dust or liquid flows into the groove 19, it can flow out through the passage 4 at the bottom of the groove 19, so as to avoid the accumulation of dust or liquid in the groove 19, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the photovoltaic cleaning robot. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the passage 4 can also be set on the side end surface of the groove 19. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the shape of the passage 4 can also be set as other shapes, for example: square hole, oval hole, etc. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the passage 4 can not be set, and the connecting piece 2 can be disassembled to clean the groove 19.
[0051] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 1 is provided with an abutment member 5, which extends upward in the vertical direction. The connecting member 2 is provided with a first end face 6. In the initial state, the abutment member 5 of the fixing member 1 abuts against the first end face 6. By providing the upwardly extending abutment member 5, the abutment member 5 can provide a more stable lateral support force to the connecting member 2. In addition, as an alternative implementation, the abutment member 5 can be a protrusion 21 structure on the fixing member 1 extending towards the connecting member 2, or it can be the inner end face of the groove 19 itself.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end face of the connector 2 is recessed upward to form a receiving cavity 9, and the first end face 6 is the side end face of the receiving cavity 9, which is close to the first end of the connector 2. Initially, the abutment 5 extends into the receiving cavity 9 and abuts against the first end face 6 of the connector 2, providing lateral support to the connector 2 and restricting its rotation. When the connector 2 rotates upward in the vertical plane, the first end face 6 of the connector 2 disengages from the abutment 5. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the first end face 6 can also be set as the upper end face of the receiving cavity 9, that is, the upper end face of the abutment 5 abuts against the upper end face of the receiving cavity 9.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bent section 7 is disposed on the upper end of the abutment 5 and extends horizontally away from the first end of the connector 2. The abutment 5 and the bent section 7 are disposed within the receiving cavity 9. The second end face 8 is disposed opposite to the first end face 6. In the initial state, the abutment 5 abuts against the first end face 6 of the receiving cavity 9, and the end of the bent section 7 is spaced apart from the second end face 8. When the connector 2 rotates upward in the vertical plane, the first end face 6 of the connector 2 disengages from the abutment 5. When the maximum rotation limit is reached, the second end face 8 of the connector 2 abuts against the end of the bent section 7. By setting the cooperation between the bent section 7 and the second end face 8, the rotation angle of the connector 2 can be limited, ensuring that the brush head 3 is protected from damage when it encounters the photovoltaic frame, and that it does not rotate excessively and fail to return to its initial state. Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the bending section 7 may be omitted, and the groove 19 may be used to restrict the rotation of the connector 2. That is, when the connector 2 rotates upward, the connector 2 rotates and abuts against the inner wall of the groove 19 for limiting.
[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown in the embodiment, the fixing member 1 is detachably provided with a limiting member 10, the limiting member 10 extends from the side end surface of the fixing member 1 in the horizontal direction, the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting member 10 is rotatably connected with the first end of the connecting member 2 after penetrating through the fixing member 1, so that the connecting member 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting member 10. The limiting member 10 can make the fixing member 1 and the connecting member 2 more convenient to detach. When installation is needed, the first end of the connecting member 2 is inserted into the groove 19, and then the limiting member 10 is rotatably connected with the connecting member 2 after penetrating through the limiting member 10 in the horizontal direction; when detachment is needed, the limiting member 10 is detached from the fixing member 1, and then the connecting member 2 is separated from the fixing member 1. Specifically, the limiting member 10 has a first cylinder and a rotating shaft 11. The axis of the first cylinder is collinear with the rotating shaft 11. The diameter of the rotating shaft 11 is smaller than that of the first cylinder, and the first cylinder is provided with external threads. The limiting member 10 is threadedly connected with the fixing member 1 through the first cylinder. After the limiting member 10 is installed, the rotating shaft 11 extends into the first end of the connecting member 2. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the limiting member 10 can also be a bolt, the front end of the bolt is a smooth surface, and the bolt is threadedly connected with the fixing member 1. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the first cylinder and the second cylinder of the limiting member 10 can also be provided with the same diameter.
[0055] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the second end of the connecting member 2 is slidably provided with a sliding member 12 in the vertical direction, and the brush head 3 is detachably connected with the sliding member 12. The connecting member 2 is provided with a locking member 13 for limiting the sliding member 12, and the locking member 13 is used to limit the displacement of the sliding member 12 and the connecting member 2 in the vertical direction. By providing the sliding member 12, the height of the brush head 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different frame heights in use. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the sliding member 12 can not be provided, but the brush head 3 is directly detachably connected with the connecting member 2, for example, by bolts or by clamping.
[0056] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the end of the second end of the connecting member 2 is provided with a sliding groove 15 in the vertical direction, and the sliding member 12 is provided with a protrusion 14 extending towards the sliding groove 15, and the protrusion 14 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 15. When the height of the sliding member 12 in the vertical direction needs to be adjusted, the protrusion 14 of the sliding member 12 is slid in the height direction in the sliding groove 15, and then the sliding member 12 is locked by the locking member 13, so as to adjust the height of the sliding member 12 and the height of the brush head 3. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the connecting member 2 can be provided with the protrusion 14, and the sliding member 12 can be provided with the sliding groove.
[0057] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4As shown in the embodiment, at least one adjusting hole 16 is arranged on the outer end surface of the second end of the connecting piece 2, the adjusting hole 16 is communicated with the sliding groove 15, and one end of the locking piece 13 is connected with the protrusion 14 after penetrating through the sliding groove 15. The locking piece 13 is a bolt, the threaded portion of the locking piece 13 is screwed with the sliding piece 12 after penetrating through the adjusting hole 16, and the nut portion of the locking piece 13 abuts against the end surface of the connecting piece 2, so that the sliding piece 12 cannot be moved by screwing the locking piece 13, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the sliding piece 12. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the number of the adjusting hole 16 and the locking piece 13 is not limited, and the person skilled in the art can modify them according to the actual needs, for example, the number of the adjusting hole 16 and the locking piece 13 is two, three, etc.
[0058] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the adjusting hole 16 is a long hole arranged in the vertical direction, when the sliding piece 12 needs to be adjusted, the locking piece 13 is loosened, the sliding piece 12 is moved in the vertical direction so that the locking piece 13 moves in the long adjusting hole 16, and after the adjustment is completed, the locking piece 13 is tightened to fix the sliding piece 12. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the adjusting hole 16 can also be arranged as a round hole, a plurality of adjusting holes 16 are arranged in the vertical direction, the locking piece 13 is screwed with the sliding piece 12 after penetrating through the adjusting hole 16, and the sliding piece 12 is arranged at different heights by penetrating the locking piece 13 through the adjusting holes 16 at different heights.
[0059] In addition, as shown in the embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the photovoltaic cleaning robot also comprises a driving device 20 and a brush head 3 assembly, the brush head 3 assembly comprising a driving member, a brush head 3 and a connecting frame, the connecting frame being a rectangular frame, one end of the connecting frame being an opening, both ends of the brush head 3 in the length direction being rotatably connected to the opening of the connecting frame, and the driving member being arranged on the connecting frame and connected to the brush head 3. The driving member is used to drive the brush head 3 to rotate. Specifically, the driving device 20 is a walking robot, and the structure thereof is a prior art, which will not be described herein. The driving device 20 can drive the brush head 3 to walk on the photovoltaic panel according to a preset walking path, so as to clean the photovoltaic panel. The connecting structure of the above-mentioned solution is arranged on the driving device 20, and in this embodiment, the connecting structure of the above-mentioned solution is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front end of the driving device 20. The connecting frame of the brush head 3 assembly is detachably connected to the sliding member 12. By arranging the connecting structure between the driving device 20 and the brush head 3 assembly, when the driving device 20 walks on the photovoltaic panel, the brush head 3 cleans the photovoltaic panel, and when it is necessary to cross from one photovoltaic panel to another photovoltaic panel, the brush head 3 will encounter a photovoltaic frame slightly higher than the photovoltaic panel. At this time, since the brush head 3 rotates under the driving of the driving member, when the brush head 3 encounters the photovoltaic frame, the connecting member 2 will rotate upward around the rotation shaft 11 of the limiting member 10, and the brush head 3 will roll to the upper end surface of the photovoltaic frame, so as to reduce the hard contact between the brush head 3 and the photovoltaic frame. In some other embodiments, only one connecting structure can be arranged on the driving device 20, and the connection between the driving device 20 and the brush head 3 assembly can also be achieved.
[0060] As Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a snap-fit member 18 is horizontally extended along the length of the connecting frame on the end face away from the opening of the connecting frame 3 assembly. The snap-fit member 18 has a T-shaped cross-section, and three snap-fit members 18 are spaced apart vertically. A snap-fit groove 17 is provided on the sliding member 12, and three snap-fit grooves 17 are spaced apart vertically. The snap-fit member 18 can be slidably disposed in the snap-fit groove 17, which also has a T-shaped cross-section. The fastener is a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the snap-fit member 18. After passing through the sliding member 12, the bolt abuts against the snap-fit member 18 to limit the sliding member 12. When it is necessary to move the sliding member 12, loosening the bolt allows the sliding member 12 to move horizontally; after moving the sliding member 12, tightening the bolt fixes the position of the sliding member 12. After fixing the slider 12, the sliding groove 15 of the connector 2 is engaged with the protrusion 14 of the slider 12, and then the locking member 13 is tightened to fix the installation between the slider 12 and the connector 2. By providing a snap-fit member 18 on the brush head 3 assembly and a snap-fit groove 17 on the slider 12 that engages with the snap-fit member 18, the distance between the two symmetrical sliders 12 can be adjusted to accommodate drive devices 20 of different widths. Furthermore, the number of snap-fit members 18 and snap-fit grooves 17 is not limited; those skilled in the art can adjust them according to actual needs, for example, by setting two, four, etc.
[0061] Example 2
[0062] The second embodiment has some of the same structure as the first embodiment, so it will not be described again in this embodiment. The difference is the specific structure of the connector 2 and the limiting member 10.
[0063] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive device 20 can also be detachably connected to the brush head 3 assembly directly via the connector 2. In this case, the connector 2 is provided with a snap-fit groove 17 that engages with the snap-fit member 18. The fastener is threadedly connected to the connector 2, passing through the connector 2 and abutting against the end face of the brush head 3 assembly. That is, the fastener passes through the second end face 8 of the connector 2 and abuts against the connecting frame of the brush head 3 assembly. Direct detachable connection between the connector 2 and the brush head 3 assembly reduces assembly difficulty and facilitates quick installation and disassembly.
[0064] like Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, a portion of the limiting member 10 passes through the side end face of the fixing member 1 and is rotatably connected to the connecting member 2. The limiting member 10 is slidably connected to the fixing member 1. Specifically, the fixing member 1 is provided with a through hole, and the first end of the rotating member is provided with a rotating hole. The rotating shaft 11 on the limiting member 10 passes through the through hole and is inserted into the rotating hole of the connecting member 2. An elastic member, which is a tension spring, is provided between the fixing member 1 and the limiting member 10. The elastic member has a force that drives the limiting member 10 to move toward the connecting member 2. Under the action of the elastic member, the limiting member 10 is always driven to move toward the connecting member 2, thereby ensuring that the connecting member 2 remains stable when rotating. When it is necessary to remove the connecting member 2, the limiting member 10 is pulled outward, so that the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting member 10 is disengaged from the rotating connection between it and the rotating hole of the connecting member 2, and the connecting member 2 can be quickly removed from the fixing member 1. When installing connector 2, after pulling out the limiting member 10, insert the first end of connector 2 into the groove 19. After releasing the limiting member 10, the limiting member 10 moves inward under the action of the elastic member. When the limiting member 10 abuts against the fixing member 1, the rotating shaft 11 passes through the fixing member 1 and is rotatably connected to connector 2. In some other embodiments, the elastic member can also be a disc spring. In some other embodiments, the number of elastic members is not limited, and can be one, two, etc.
[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the side end face of the fixing member 1 extends towards the limiting member 10 and an extension member is provided, and a groove 22 is formed between two adjacent extension members. Figure 9 As shown, the limiting member 10 has a protrusion 21 that mates with the slot 22. When installing the limiting member 10, the protrusion 21 of the limiting member 10 engages with the slot 22 to secure it, improving the stability of the limiting member 10 and preventing circumferential rotation during operation. When the connecting member 2 needs to be disassembled, the limiting member 10 is pulled outwards, disengaging the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting member 10 from the connecting member 2. Then, the limiting member 10 is rotated circumferentially, causing the protrusion 21 of the limiting member 10 to abut against the extension on the fixing member 1. At this time, the limiting member 10 remains fixed under the action of the elastic element, making it easier to disassemble and install the connecting member 2. After the connecting member 2 is installed in place, the limiting member 10 is rotated, and under the action of the elastic element, the protrusion 21 of the limiting member 10 engages with the slot 22, and the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting member 10 is inserted into the rotating hole of the connecting member 2. In some other embodiments, the slot 22 may also be a groove recessed into the side end face of the fixing member 1 facing the connecting member 2. In some other embodiments, the limiting member 10 may also be provided with a slot 22, and the fixing member 1 may be provided with a protrusion 21.
[0066] like Figure 10As shown, in the embodiment, the two ends of the driving device 20 in the length direction are connected with the fixing piece 1 through bolts, and the groove 19 of the fixing piece 1 is open upward. The first end of the connecting piece 2 is inserted into the groove 19, and the limiting piece 10 is rotationally connected with the connecting piece 2 after passing through the fixing piece 1. At this time, the limiting piece 10 is threadedly connected with the fixing piece 1, and the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting piece 10 is rotationally connected with the connecting piece 2. The clamping groove 17 on the connecting piece 2 is slidingly connected with the clamping piece 18 of the brush head 3 assembly, and then the bolt passes through the connecting piece 2 and abuts against the end face of the connecting frame of the brush head 3 assembly.
[0067] The installation mode of the photovoltaic cleaning robot: the driving device 20 can walk on the photovoltaic panel, and the two sides of the front end of the driving device 20 are respectively provided with the fixing piece 1 through bolts. The groove 19 of the fixing piece 1 is open upward, and the accommodating cavity 9 of the connecting piece 2 is open downward. The first end of the connecting piece 2 is inserted into the groove 19, the limiting piece 10 is threadedly connected with the fixing piece 1, and the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting piece 10 is rotationally connected with the connecting piece 2 after passing through the fixing piece 1. At this time, the connecting piece 2 abuts against the abutting piece 5 and the bent section 7 of the fixing piece 1 under the action of gravity. There is a certain distance between the end of the bent section 7 and the second end face 8. The clamping piece 18 of the connecting frame of the brush head 3 assembly is slidingly connected into the clamping groove 17 on the connecting piece 2, and the fastener is abutted against the clamping piece 18 after passing through the second end face 8 of the connecting piece 2.
[0068] The working principle of the photovoltaic cleaning robot: in the initial state, the connecting piece 2 abuts against the abutting piece 5 and the bent section 7 of the fixing piece 1, and the abutting piece 5 and the bent section 7 support the connecting piece 2. When the photovoltaic panel is encountered, since the photovoltaic frame is slightly higher than the photovoltaic panel, when the brush head 3 is rotated onto the photovoltaic frame, the connecting piece 2 will be rotated upward with the rotating shaft 11 of the limiting piece 10 as the center, thereby driving the brush head 3 to lift upward, so that the brush head 3 rolls past the photovoltaic frame.
[0069] Obviously, the above embodiment is only an example for clearly illustrating, and is not a limitation to the implementation. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the implementation is not required and cannot be exhausted. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
