[0002] With global energy transformation and environmental awareness, photovoltaic industry presents the situation of rapid development, the scale and quantity of photovoltaic power station are increasing, which provides broad market space for the application of photovoltaic intelligent cleaning robot. Photovoltaic panel, as the core component of photovoltaic power station, its surface cleaning degree directly affects power generation efficiency and service life. However, the surface of photovoltaic panel is easy to be contaminated with dust, bird droppings and other pollutants. The traditional manual cleaning method is inefficient and has safety hazards. Therefore, the application of photovoltaic intelligent cleaning robot becomes an inevitable choice for photovoltaic power station cleaning.
[0003] The normal operation of photovoltaic cleaning robot depends on the support of matching track system. It realizes efficient cleaning of photovoltaic modules by moving along the track. However, in actual application scenarios, photovoltaic power stations are often located in areas with harsh natural conditions, such as desert hinterland, complex mountainous areas and vast waters. In these special environments, track support structures are usually directly installed on loose sand or soft soil. The soil properties of such foundation determine that its bearing stability is relatively weak. With the extension of service period, affected by the natural settlement effect of soil, the foundation may sink to different degrees, which may cause displacement deviation of the track system at the top of the support structure.
[0004] In the prior art, when ground subsidence occurs, it is difficult to adjust the track to reset it. Track deformation will directly interfere with the motion trajectory of the cleaning robot. In severe cases, it may even cause equipment operation failure, ultimately affecting the daily cleaning and maintenance effect of photovoltaic array.
[0005] Therefore, we disclose a photovoltaic cleaning shuttle vehicle track support structure with horizontal and vertical two-way adjustment to meet the actual needs of adjusting the track to reset it when ground subsidence occurs in the prior art. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0014] The utility model has the advantages that:
[0015] This type of photovoltaic cleaning shuttle track support structure, featuring bidirectional adjustment in both lateral and longitudinal directions, significantly enhances the adaptability of the photovoltaic cleaning system to complex terrain environments through the synergistic effect of the bidirectional adjustment modules. The lateral adjustment module, through the linkage design of screw drive and linkage mechanism, can precisely correct the tilt and offset of the track crossarm caused by ground settlement or construction deviations, ensuring that the cleaning equipment always runs stably along a straight track and avoiding equipment jamming, derailment, and other malfunctions caused by track deformation. The longitudinal adjustment module utilizes a threaded drive and ball joint universal connection structure to achieve stepless fine-tuning of the track crossarm height, effectively compensating for uneven foundation settlement. The height difference of the support ensures the levelness of the track system in the longitudinal plane. This dynamic adjustment capability enables photovoltaic power stations to operate stably for a long time in areas with poor geological conditions (such as deserts, mountains, and water areas), reducing the number of downtime maintenance caused by track deformation, thereby significantly improving the overall reliability and operation and maintenance efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system. The modular adjustment design of the device greatly simplifies the maintenance process of the track support structure. When ground subsidence or track deviation occurs, track calibration can be completed only by adjusting screws, bolts or adjusting rods locally, without the need for overall disassembly or replacement of support components, which significantly reduces labor costs and material consumption.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 A photovoltaic cleaning shuttle track support structure with horizontal and vertical two-way adjustment, comprising two vertical rods 1 installed on the top of the cement rod through the hoop, two vertical rods 1 are respectively located on both sides of the top of the cement rod, the lower end of the cement rod is inserted into the soil, the outer side of each of the two vertical rods 1 is provided with a lower rotating seat 2, the inner side of each of the two lower rotating seats 2 is rotatably connected with a connecting rod 3 at the upper end, the upper end of each of the two connecting rods 3 is rotatably connected with a track cross arm 5, the upper end of each of the two vertical rods 1 is fixedly connected with a support pipe 10, the upper end of the support pipe 10 is provided with an adjusting assembly, the adjusting assembly is used for adjusting the position of the upper end track cross arm 5, the adjusting assembly comprises a horizontal adjusting module and a vertical adjusting module;
[0027] The photovoltaic cleaning shuttle track support device significantly improves the environmental adaptability and economy of the photovoltaic power plant operation and maintenance system through the innovative horizontal and vertical two-way adjustment structure design. The horizontal adjustment module adopts screw rod 8 transmission and connecting rod 3 linkage mechanism. When ground subsidence causes the track cross arm 5 to tilt, the operator can release the unilateral lower rotating seat 2 from the fixed constraint, drive the transmission block 9 to move horizontally by rotating the screw rod 8, and then drive the track cross arm 5 to deflect and calibrate. Finally, the lower rotating seat 2 is fixed to the higher position of the adjusting screw hole 11 of the vertical rod 1, and the horizontal position of the track system is reset. The longitudinal adjustment module precisely compensates for the height difference of the track cross arm 5 caused by uneven subsidence of the foundation through the screw-driven adjusting rod 6 and the ball head 13 universal connection structure. The lower end of the adjusting rod 6 is screw-engaged with the square tube 7 to realize vertical displacement, and the upper end ball head 13 uniformly transmits the thrust to the track cross arm 5 through the spherical contact surface, ensuring that the track recovers to the horizontal state in the longitudinal plane. This dual-axis adjustment mechanism not only dynamically adapts to the foundation deformation in complex terrains such as deserts, mountains, and water areas, but also simplifies the maintenance process through modular design - only local adjustment is needed to complete track calibration, avoiding the high-cost operation of overall disassembly. At the same time, the ball head 13 connection structure and the screw self-locking feature effectively reduce mechanical wear and tear and secondary loosening risk, significantly prolong the service life of the track system and cleaning equipment, providing reliable technical support for long-term stable operation and cost reduction and efficiency improvement of photovoltaic power stations throughout their life cycle.
[0028] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 the upper end of the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected with the upper rotating seat 4, the upper end of the upper rotating seat 4 is fixedly connected with the track cross arm 5, the horizontal adjustment module includes a screw rod 8 rotatably connected to the upper end of the support pipe 10, the outer end of the screw rod 8 is drivingly connected with two transmission blocks 9, the two transmission blocks 9 are slidingly connected to the upper end of the support pipe 10, the upper end of the two transmission blocks 9 is fixedly connected with a square tube 7, the vertical rod 1 is uniformly and spaced apart provided with a plurality of adjusting screw holes 11, the lower rotating seat 2 is provided with an adjusting screw 12, the tail end of the adjusting screw 12 penetrates through the lower rotating seat 2 and is screw-connected with the adjusting screw hole 11 of the vertical rod 1, and the adjusting screw 12 is located at the lower end of the lower rotating seat 2;
[0029] For example, in the actual operation process of the fish-light complementary photovoltaic power station, due to the influence of factors such as long-term geological subsidence or water surface fluctuation, local subsidence may occur on the ground where the track support structure is located, thereby causing the track cross arm 5 to tilt or deviate, which seriously affects the normal passage and cleaning effect of the photovoltaic cleaning equipment. For such working conditions, the track system can be dynamically calibrated through the lateral adjustment module, and the specific operation process is as follows: first, the adjustment screw 12 on the lower rotating seat 2 of the inclined side of the track cross arm 5 is loosened and removed using a special tool, so that the rigid connection between the lower rotating seat 2 and the vertical rod 1 is temporarily released, at this time, the track support structure on one side is in a movable state, while the other side remains stable due to the tightening action of the adjustment screw 12. Subsequently, the operator rotates the screw rod 8 at the upper end of the support pipe 10, and converts the rotary motion into the horizontal linear displacement of the transmission block 9 through the threaded engagement transmission between the screw rod 8 and the transmission block 9. Since the upper end of the transmission block 9 is fixedly connected to the square tube 7, and the square tube 7 is connected to the track cross arm 5 through the connecting rod 3 mechanism, when the transmission block 9 moves laterally, it will simultaneously drive the track cross arm 5 to deviate and displace, thereby offsetting the tilt angle caused by ground subsidence. After the track cross arm 5 is preliminarily calibrated, it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the lower rotating seat 2. At this time, the removed adjustment screw 12 is aligned with the adjustment screw hole 11 at a higher position on the vertical rod 1, and the lower rotating seat 2 is connected to the vertical rod 1 through tightening operation to form a new rigid connection, and the new connection point is closer to the top end of the vertical rod 1 than the original position, so as to compensate for the difference in support height caused by ground subsidence. After this step is completed, the lower rotating seats 2 on both sides of the track cross arm 5 will re-form symmetrical support, and the track cross arm 5 will restore to a horizontal state through the geometric constraints of the connecting rod 3 mechanism. The adjustment process realizes stepless adjustment of the track system through the self-locking property of threaded transmission and the motion coupling of the connecting rod 3 mechanism, and ensures the stability of the adjusted structure. The operator can repeat the above steps according to the actual subsidence situation until the tilt angle and displacement of the track cross arm 5 meet the equipment operation requirements, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of the track support structure and ensuring the cleaning and maintenance effect of the photovoltaic power station. The adjustment screw 12 is located at the lower end of the lower rotating seat 2, and the connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lower rotating seat 2. The connecting rod 3 does not affect the disassembly and assembly of the adjustment screw 12.
[0030] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the longitudinal adjustment module includes two adjustment rods 6, the outer walls of the two adjustment rods 6 are provided with threads at the lower ends, the lower ends of the adjustment rods 6 are screw-connected to the square tube 7, the upper ends of the adjustment rods 6 are fixedly connected with ball heads 13, and the upper ends of the adjustment rods 6 are rotatably connected with the track cross arm 5 through the ball heads 13;
[0031] When the track support structure of the photovoltaic power station encounters uneven ground settlement or long-term stress deformation, resulting in longitudinal height deviation of the track cross arm 5, the longitudinal adjustment module can be used for precise correction, and the specific working principle is as follows: the operator first identifies the inclination direction and amplitude of the track cross arm 5, and then adjusts the support structure on the low side, rotates the adjusting rod 6 connected with the square tube 7 by using a tool, since the lower end of the adjusting rod 6 is in threaded engagement with the square tube 7, the rotating action will drive the adjusting rod 6 to produce vertical displacement along the axial direction, at this time, the universal rotation connection structure formed by the ball head 13 and the track cross arm 5 on the upper end of the adjusting rod 6 plays a role, the ball head 13 not only allows the track cross arm 5 to slightly deflect in angle during adjustment to adapt to the ground changes, but also uniformly transmits the vertical thrust of the adjusting rod 6 to the track cross arm 5 through the spherical contact surface, avoiding stress concentration caused by rigid connection, when the adjusting rod 6 continuously rotates and moves upward, the ball head 13 will gradually lift the track cross arm 5, until it returns to the designed height position, at this time, the longitudinal height difference of the track cross arm 5 on both sides is eliminated, and the equipment can run stably along the straight track again, the module realizes stepless height adjustment through threaded transmission, and the flexibility of the ball head 13 connection not only ensures the adjustment accuracy, but also meets the dynamic support demand under complex terrain, and finally guarantees the long-term stability of the photovoltaic cleaning system in the longitudinal plane.
