Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The adaptive shuttle vehicle for flat single-axis photovoltaic panel cleaning robot belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the photovoltaic panel is used for a period of time, dust is easily attached to the photovoltaic panel, thereby affecting the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, so it is necessary to clean the photovoltaic panel.

[0003] At present, the photovoltaic panel is usually cleaned by manual cleaning or robot cleaning. The manual cleaning is mainly through high-pressure water gun washing, and the cleaning effect is poor. Moreover, due to the high pressure of the high-pressure water gun, the photovoltaic panel is easily damaged during cleaning. The robot cleaning is usually through the shuttle vehicle to transport the robot. The shuttle vehicle is arranged on one side of the photovoltaic panel and sequentially transports the robot to be aligned with each row of photovoltaic panels. When the robot is aligned with a corresponding row of photovoltaic panels, the robot is on the upper side of the photovoltaic panel when moving from the shuttle vehicle, and moves along the row of photovoltaic panels to complete the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel. At present, the robot cleaning is the main cleaning method.

[0004] The inventor finds that when the photovoltaic panel is installed, the rows of photovoltaic panels are not completely aligned. Moreover, in order to improve the power generation efficiency, the angle of part of the photovoltaic panels is adjusted according to the angle of light, that is, the angle of the photovoltaic panel is different at different times of the day, and the angle of the photovoltaic panel is also different in different seasons, which brings difficulties to the work of the cleaning robot. Due to the irregular arrangement between the two adjacent rows of photovoltaic panels, and the angle of the adjacent photovoltaic panels is adjustable, the shuttle vehicle can only transport the robot to one end of a corresponding row of photovoltaic panels, but cannot guarantee that the robot is aligned with the photovoltaic panel, which causes the robot to be unable to smoothly move from the shuttle vehicle to the upper side of the photovoltaic panel, and further causes the robot to be unable to complete the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel.
