[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A field environmental meteorological information collection robot includes a tracked mobile platform 1, a support platform 2 mounted on top of the tracked mobile platform 1, a meteorological collection device 3 and a travel control console mounted on top of the support platform 2, and the tracked mobile platform 1 can carry the support platform 2 and the meteorological collection device 3 to reciprocate and cruise within a designated area. The meteorological collection device 3 includes a processor, a sensor module, a data collector, a communication module and a power module, and the sensor module includes a wind speed sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a rainfall sensor, a barometric pressure sensor and a radiation sensor, thereby enabling the automated collection of various meteorological data in the target environment to fully meet the usage requirements.

[0027] The top of both sides of the support platform 2 is provided with mounting slots 9. The mounting slots 9 can provide sufficient installation space for subsequent related structures, reduce the assembly difficulty and maintain the neat appearance of the overall device. The top of the mounting slot 9 is provided with a clearance slot, and an auxiliary cover plate 10 is nested inside the clearance slot. The auxiliary cover plate 10 can flexibly close the top space of the mounting slot 9 after use and close and protect the structure installed inside the mounting slot 9.

[0028] The front and rear ends of the support platform 2 are both nested with photovoltaic panels 4. The power module includes a photovoltaic power supply component, which includes a battery, a charging controller, and an inverter. The two photovoltaic panels 4 are electrically connected to the photovoltaic power supply component through wires. Thus, the photovoltaic power supply component and the two photovoltaic panels 4 serve as the power supplement for the overall device, extending the usage range of the overall device and the usage time of a single cycle. An auxiliary mechanism is set on the top of the photovoltaic panel 4. The auxiliary mechanism includes a conveyor belt 5. The two sides of the conveyor belt 5 are respectively connected to the main drive structure 6 and the linkage structure 7. The main drive structure 6 and the linkage structure 7 are both installed inside the support platform 2. A scraper 8 is installed on the top surface of the conveyor belt 5. The combination of the scraper 8 and the conveyor belt 5, under the combined drive of the linkage structure 7 and the main drive structure 6, enables the scraper 8 to adhere to the surface of the photovoltaic panel 4 to scrape dust.

[0029] The main drive structure 6 includes a first synchronous pulley 61, a first drive shaft 64, and a power component. The linkage structure 7 includes a second synchronous pulley 71 and a second drive shaft 72. The first synchronous pulley 61 and the second synchronous pulley 71 are respectively fitted inside the two sides of the conveyor belt 5. The middle part of the first synchronous pulley 61 is connected to one end of the first drive shaft 64, and the middle part of the second synchronous pulley 71 is connected to one end of the second drive shaft 72. The middle parts of the second drive shaft 72 and the middle parts of the first drive shaft 64 are fitted to the corresponding side structures of the support platform 2 through bearings. The other ends of the second drive shaft 72 and the first drive shaft 64 extend into their respective mounting slots 9. This fully ensures the connection strength between the first drive shaft 64 and the support platform 2, and between the second drive shaft 72 and the support platform 2, providing a high-strength pressure-resistant effect for subsequent continuous output.

[0030] The power components include a reducer 62 and a servo motor 63. The output end of the reducer 62 is connected to the other end of the first drive shaft 64, and the output end of the servo motor 63 is connected to the input end of the reducer 62. A support base is mounted on both the housing surface of the servo motor 63 and the housing surface of the reducer 62. The support base is mounted on the inner wall of the bottom of the corresponding mounting groove 9, thereby meeting the power requirements for the active cyclic output of the conveyor belt 5 and the scraper 8, and meeting the requirements for automated use.

[0031] During use, as the tracked mobile platform 1 moves automatically along the preset trajectory, the meteorological data acquisition device 3, the support platform 2, and related structures are driven to cruise and move. The wind speed sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, rainfall sensor, air pressure sensor, and radiation sensor inside the meteorological data acquisition device 3 are activated to detect and collect various meteorological data in the environment in real time.

[0032] When the environment to be tested is sunny, during the movement of the tracked mobile platform 1, the two photovoltaic panels 4 will generate photovoltaic power synchronously under the sunlight, and the generated power will be stored in the corresponding batteries, which can then provide auxiliary power or emergency power for the tracked mobile platform 1 and the meteorological acquisition device 3, thus fully extending the activity range of the entire device.

[0033] When dust accumulates on the two photovoltaic panels 4 during continuous use, the servo motors 63 inside the two main drive structures 6 are activated. The servo motors 63 drive the corresponding first synchronous pulleys 61 to rotate synchronously through the reducer 62 and the first drive shaft 64. Then, with the auxiliary support of the linkage structure 7, the conveyor belt 5 drives the scraper 8 to rotate back and forth, thereby enabling the scraper 8 to automatically scrape and clean the top surface of the photovoltaic panels 4. Moreover, the dust cleaning operation does not need to consider whether the overall device is moving, resulting in high efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5The top surface of the photovoltaic panel 4 is coplanar with the corresponding side surface of the support platform 2 to avoid structural interference. The conveying stroke of the conveyor belt 5 can fully cover the photovoltaic panel 4, thereby meeting the subsequent requirements for comprehensive dust removal of the photovoltaic panel 4. The assembly materials of the conveyor belt 5 and the scraper 8 are the same to control the manufacturing cost. The number of scrapers 8 is not less than two and they are arranged and installed along the top structure of the conveyor belt 5 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0035] The combination of several scraper strips 8 and conveyor belt 5 can shield and protect the top surface of photovoltaic panel 4 under the combined transmission of main drive structure 6 and linkage structure 7, so as to avoid the impact of vegetation in the detection environment on photovoltaic panel 4 during the process and extend the service life of photovoltaic panel 4.

[0036] During use, considering the potential for damage to the photovoltaic panels 4 caused by vegetation in the environment under test, the servo motors 63 inside the two main drive structures 6 are activated before the tracked mobile platform 1 drives the support platform 2, meteorological acquisition device 3, photovoltaic panels 4, and other structures to move automatically. The servo motors 63 drive the corresponding first synchronous pulleys 61 to rotate synchronously through the reducer 62 and the first drive shaft 64. Then, with the auxiliary support of the linkage structure 7, the conveyor belt 5 drives multiple scraper strips 8 to rotate back and forth. After the multiple scraper strips 8 on the surface of a conveyor belt 5 have fully covered the corresponding photovoltaic panels 4, the servo motors 63 are turned off. In this way, the multiple scraper strips 8 protect the photovoltaic panels 4 by shielding them, reducing the probability of damage caused by vegetation in the environment under test during the movement of the photovoltaic panels 4.
