[0002] Photovoltaic panels, also known as solar panels or solar cell panels, are devices that directly convert sunlight into electrical energy. They typically consist of multiple photovoltaic (PV) units, each of which is a semiconductor device, most commonly made of silicon. When sunlight shines on these photovoltaic units, it excites electrons to jump out of atoms, forming an electric current.

[0003] Photovoltaic panels are typically installed on rooftops or other outdoor locations. Outdoor photovoltaic panels are prone to dust accumulation after prolonged use, which can significantly impact their normal operation. Therefore, cleaning equipment is needed to thoroughly clean their surfaces. Existing cleaning equipment requires brushes and water supply, but the water pipes are easily damaged if pulled during this process. Furthermore, prolonged use of the brushes and the rotating mechanism that drives them is also prone to damage. Therefore, we propose a photovoltaic panel cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic panel cleaning device, including a split gripping mechanism 1, a connecting frame 2 fixedly installed at one end of the gripping mechanism 1, mounting seats 3 fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting frame 2, a fixing sleeve 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 3, a water spraying mechanism 5 fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing sleeve 4, a cleaning mechanism 7 for cleaning is provided below the water spraying mechanism 5, a water supply mechanism 6 for supplying water to the water spraying mechanism 5 is provided on the gripping mechanism 1, and a limiting mechanism 8 for limiting the cleaning mechanism 7 is provided on the water spraying mechanism 5 and the cleaning mechanism 7.

[0019] The gripping mechanism 1 is a separate unit, making it easy to carry during transport. The cleaning mechanism 7 can clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During the cleaning process, the water supply mechanism 6 supplies water to the water spraying mechanism 5, allowing water to be sprayed during cleaning to remove accumulated dirt as much as possible. The water supply mechanism 6 is installed on the gripping mechanism 1 to prevent the water spraying mechanism 5 from separating from the water supply mechanism 6 when it is pulled, thus ensuring the continuity of water supply.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 The gripping mechanism 1 includes a connecting rod 9, a threaded sleeve 10, a gripping rod 11, and a threaded rod 12. The connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting frame 2, the threaded sleeve 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod 9, and the threaded rod 12, which is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 10, is fixedly installed on one side of the gripping rod 11.

[0021] When the gripping mechanism 1 needs to be installed, the threaded rod 12 on one side of the gripping rod 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 10 on the side of the connecting rod 9, thus completing the assembly and use of the gripping mechanism 1.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water spraying mechanism 5 includes a water supply plate 13, water outlet holes 14 and a water supply pipe 15.

[0023] When the water supply mechanism 6 supplies water to the water supply pipe 15, the supplied cleaning water can fill the inside of the water supply pan 13. Then, the cleaning water inside the water supply pan 13 can be discharged through multiple sets of water outlets 14 and flow to the cleaning mechanism 7 to clean the stains.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning mechanism 7 includes a drive motor 16, a rotating base 17, a mounting frame 18, and cleaning brushes 19. The drive motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 3. The output end of the drive motor 16 passes through the fixed sleeve 4 and extends to the bottom of the water supply tray 13. The output end of the drive motor 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 18. The rotating base 17 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting frame 18. Multiple sets of cleaning brushes 19 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 18.

[0025] When the photovoltaic panel needs to be cleaned, the drive motor 16 operates, which drives the rotating seat 17, the mounting bracket 18 and the cleaning brush 19 to rotate, so that the stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panel can be cleaned by the rotating cleaning brush 19.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water supply mechanism 6 includes a first delivery pipe 20, a diversion pipe 21, a second delivery pipe 22, a limiting sleeve 23, and a positioning sleeve 24. The first delivery pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe 15. The second delivery pipe 22 is connected to the first delivery pipe 20 through the diversion pipe 21. The limiting sleeve 23 is fixedly installed on the outside of the second delivery pipe 22. The positioning sleeve 24 is provided on the outside of the limiting sleeve 23. The bottom of the positioning sleeve 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 9 through a first fixing block 25.

[0027] The second delivery pipe 22 is connected to an external water tank via an external water pump. The water pump discharges cleaning water through the second delivery pipe 22, the first delivery pipe 20, and the diversion pipe 21 to the water supply pipe 15 for water supply. The second delivery pipe 22 is equipped with a limiting sleeve 23, which is installed by the first fixing block 25 and the positioning sleeve 24. This ensures that the first delivery pipe 20 will not be pulled when the second delivery pipe 22 is pulled, thus preventing the first delivery pipe 20 from detaching from the water supply pipe 15.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting mechanism 8 includes a limiting groove 26, a second fixing block 27, a locking bolt 28, a connecting plate 29, and a limiting ball 30. The water supply tray 13 has a limiting groove 26 on its outside. The rotating seat 17 has a second fixing block 27 fixedly installed on both sides. The surface of the second fixing block 27 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 29 by two sets of locking bolts 28. A limiting ball 30 inserted into the limiting groove 26 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 29.

[0029] The connecting plate 29 and the limiting ball 30 are installed on the second fixing block 27 by two sets of locking bolts 28, which makes it easy to disassemble the connecting plate 29. When the rotating seat 17 rotates, it can be limited by the limiting ball 30 and the limiting groove 26, so that the rotating seat 17 will not be deformed or damaged during rotation.

[0030] In use, the gripping mechanism 1 is a separate unit, making it easy to carry during transport. The cleaning mechanism 7 then cleans the surface of the photovoltaic panel. During cleaning, the water supply mechanism 6 supplies water to the spray mechanism 5, allowing for water spraying to effectively remove accumulated dirt. The water supply mechanism 6, mounted on the gripping mechanism 1, prevents the spray mechanism 5 from detaching from the water supply mechanism 6 when pulled, ensuring a continuous water supply. To install the gripping mechanism 1, the threaded rod 12 on one side of the gripping rod 11 is threaded to the threaded sleeve 10 on the connecting rod 9. When the water supply mechanism 6 supplies water to the water supply pipe 15, the supplied cleaning water fills the water supply tray 13. The cleaning water inside the water supply tray 13 is then discharged through multiple water outlets 14 and flows onto the cleaning mechanism 7 for dirt removal. When cleaning the photovoltaic panel, the water supply mechanism 7... The drive motor 16 operates, causing the rotating base 17, mounting bracket 18, and cleaning brush 19 to rotate. This allows the rotating cleaning brush 19 to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The second delivery pipe 22 is connected to an external water tank via an external water pump. The pump pumps cleaning water through the second delivery pipe 22, the first delivery pipe 20, and the diversion pipe 21 to supply water to the water supply pipe 15. A limit sleeve 23 is installed on the outside of the second delivery pipe 22, and the limit sleeve 23 is secured by a first fixing block 25 and...
