Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 implemented by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a long-endurance photovoltaic installation robot, including: a chassis assembly 100, on which a photovoltaic panel gripping assembly 200 is provided; and a battery towing assembly 300, which is attached to the rear end of the chassis assembly 100.

[0026] This long-endurance photovoltaic installation robot has a photovoltaic panel gripping component 200 mounted on the chassis component 100, and a battery towing component 300 is attached to the rear end of the chassis component 100. The battery towing component 300 can directly supply power to the chassis component 100 and the photovoltaic panel gripping component 200, thereby enabling the mounting of large-capacity batteries and improving the endurance. In addition, the battery towing component 300 can be easily separated from the chassis component 100, making battery swapping convenient.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery towing assembly 300 may include: a mounting plate 310, which is attached to the rear end of the chassis assembly 100 via a hook assembly 320; a battery compartment 330, which is disposed on top of the mounting plate 310; and a traveling assembly 340, which is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 310. The mounting plate 310, which has the battery compartment 330, is attached to the rear end of the chassis assembly 100 via the hook assembly 320, and moves together with the chassis assembly 100 via the traveling assembly 340.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the hook assembly 320 may include: a quick-change handle 321, the rear end of which is connected to one end of a connecting rod 322; a hook 323, which is disposed at the front end of the quick-change handle 321 for hooking with the chassis assembly 100; and the other end of the connecting rod 322 is connected to the front end of the mounting plate 310. By providing the quick-change handle 321, when the battery compartment 330 is about to run out of power, the battery towing assembly 300 can be quickly separated from the chassis assembly 100 by gripping the quick-change handle 321 and lifting the hook 323, thereby facilitating battery swapping.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in at least one embodiment, one end of the hook 323 can be connected to one end of the locking hinge 324, and the other end of the locking hinge 324 is connected to the front end of the quick-change handle 321. By setting the locking hinge 324, when a battery replacement is needed, the locking hinge 324 can be loosened, and the hook 323 can be separated from the chassis assembly 100 by rotating the rotating part of the locking hinge 324, which is more labor-saving.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the walking assembly 340 may include: a pair of support wheels 341, which are mounted on a support shaft 342, and the support shaft 342 is connected to the mounting plate 310; combined with Figure 3 The buffer wheel 343 is mounted on the upright post 344, which is mounted on the quick-change handle 321. In addition to the load-bearing wheel 341, the battery towing assembly 300 of this long-endurance photovoltaic installation robot is equipped with a buffer wheel 343. This balances the walking ability and anti-bumping ability on grassy and muddy ground commonly encountered during photovoltaic installation, preventing the front or rear end of the battery towing assembly 300 from tilting up when crossing undulating terrain. It also allows the detached mounting plate 310 to stand upright on the ground via the buffer wheel 343 and the load-bearing wheel 341 during battery swapping, facilitating its transport to the charging location.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the chassis assembly 100 may include: a tracked chassis 110, combined with... Figure 4 It contains an electronic control unit 120; combined with Figure 3 A hook 130 is located at the rear end of the tracked chassis 110 and is adapted to the hook 323. The tracked chassis 110 can adapt to various terrains.

[0032] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the electronic control unit 120 includes a remote control module 121. This allows the installation robot to be controlled remotely.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the photovoltaic panel gripping assembly 200 may include: a six-axis robotic arm 210, which is mounted on the tracked chassis 110; combined with Figure 5 A visual recognition camera 220 is mounted on the six-axis robotic arm 210; a laser rangefinder sensor 230 is mounted on the six-axis robotic arm 210. The visual recognition camera 220 may be, but is not limited to, an industrial-grade camera. Equipping both the visual recognition camera 220 and the laser rangefinder sensor 230 can improve the accuracy of photovoltaic panel grasping.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the six-axis robotic arm 210 is equipped with a carbon fiber suction cup bracket 240. The use of the carbon fiber suction cup bracket 240 can reduce weight while providing good flexibility and strength to ensure stability when installing photovoltaic panels.

[0035] In summary, this long-endurance photovoltaic installation robot is equipped with a photovoltaic panel gripping component 200 on the chassis component 100, and a battery towing component 300 is attached to the rear end of the chassis component 100. The battery towing component 300 can directly supply power to the chassis component 100 and the photovoltaic panel gripping component 200, thereby enabling the mounting of large-capacity batteries and improving the endurance. Furthermore, the battery towing component 300 can be easily separated from the chassis component 100, facilitating convenient battery swapping.
