Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic cleaning device technology, and in particular to a tilted, horizontally crawling photovoltaic cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic panel cleaning is an important maintenance measure to ensure the efficient operation of photovoltaic power generation systems. Regular cleaning of the photovoltaic panel surface can significantly improve power generation efficiency and extend equipment life. Currently, most cleaning robots crawl on the photovoltaic panels to perform rinsing and cleaning. However, after rinsing, although the photovoltaic panels are clean, water stains remain. If the water stains are not cleaned, dust can still easily adhere to the photovoltaic panels, thus shortening the cleaning cycle and increasing the cleaning burden. Therefore, we have launched a tilted, horizontally crawling photovoltaic cleaning device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a tilted, horizontally crawling photovoltaic cleaning device that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A tilting, horizontally crawling photovoltaic cleaning device includes a trolley with several threaded holes on its upper left and upper right sides. A rinsing mechanism is movably connected to the front end of the trolley, and tracks are installed and connected to the lower left and lower right ends of the trolley. A water suction device is fixedly connected to the rear end of the trolley.
[0006] Preferably, the rinsing mechanism includes a frame, with connectors fixedly connected to the upper left and upper right sides of the frame. Each connector has a through hole at its upper rear, and bolts are movably connected through each through hole. A rinsing pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the frame, and a water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rinsing pipe. A movable plate is movably connected inside the frame, and the movable plate is located at the rear of the rinsing pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the movable plate has a "T" shaped structure, with sliding columns fixedly connected to the upper left and upper right parts of the movable plate, and springs sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two sliding columns. A rubber wiper strip is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate.
[0008] Preferably, both sliding columns are movably connected to the frame through an interlocking connection.
[0009] Preferably, both connecting members are movably connected to the trolley by bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the water absorption device includes a first bracket and a second bracket. A motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the first bracket, and a first circular plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Three brush rollers are fixedly connected to the left end of the first circular plate, and the left ends of the three brush rollers are jointly fixedly connected to a second circular plate.
[0011] Preferably, the second circular plate is movably connected to the second bracket via a rotating shaft, and both the second bracket and the first bracket are fixedly connected to the trolley.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a rinsing mechanism, since both sliding columns are movably connected to the frame and springs are sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding columns, the movable plate is pushed downward under the elastic action of the springs, and the rubber squeegee at the lower end of the movable plate moves down at the same time, so that the rubber squeegee contacts the photovoltaic panel. Thus, after the rinsing pipe is rinsed, the rubber squeegee then scrapes away the water that has passed through, thereby avoiding water stains and accelerating dust accumulation.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a water absorption device and starting the motor, the motor drives the first circular plate to rotate. The three brush rollers connected to the first circular plate adjust their positions under the rotation of the first circular plate. The brush rollers contact the photovoltaic panel and perform secondary cleaning and water absorption on the washed photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A tilting, horizontally crawling photovoltaic cleaning device includes a trolley 1. The upper left and upper right sides of the trolley 1 have several threaded holes 2. A rinsing mechanism 3 is movably connected to the front end of the trolley 1. Tracks 4 are installed and connected to the lower left and lower right sides of the trolley 1. A water suction device 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the trolley 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, the rinsing mechanism 3 includes a frame 31. Connectors 32 are fixedly connected to the upper left and upper right portions of the frame 31. Each connector 32 has a through hole 34 at its upper rear end, and bolts 33 are movably connected through each through hole 34. A rinsing pipe 36 is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the frame 31, and a water supply pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rinsing pipe 36. A movable plate 37 is movably connected inside the frame 31, located behind the rinsing pipe 36. The movable plate 37 has a "T"-shaped structure. Sliding columns 371 are fixedly connected to the upper left and upper right portions of the movable plate 37. Springs 372 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two sliding columns 371. A rubber wiper strip 373 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable plate 37. Both sliding columns 371 are movably connected to the frame 31. Both connectors 32 are movably connected to the trolley 1 via bolts 33.
[0026] The above solution involves supplying water to the flushing pipe 36 via the water supply pipe 35, which then sprays water to flush the photovoltaic panel. During the flushing process, the movable plate 37 maintains a certain downward pressure under the elastic action of the spring 372, causing the rubber wiper strip 373 to contact the photovoltaic panel and wipe away water from the panel after flushing, thus preventing water stains from remaining.
[0027] In this embodiment, the water absorption device 5 includes a first bracket 51 and a second bracket 55. A motor 52 is fixedly connected to the right end of the first bracket 51, and a first circular plate 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 52. Three brush rollers 54 are fixedly connected to the left end of the first circular plate 53, and a second circular plate 56 is fixedly connected to the left end of the three brush rollers 54. The second circular plate 56 is movably connected to the second bracket 55 through a rotating shaft. Both the second bracket 55 and the first bracket 51 are fixedly connected to the trolley 1.
[0028] The above scheme involves starting the motor 52, which drives the first circular plate 53 and the second circular plate 56 to rotate. The three brush rollers 54 installed between the second circular plate 56 and the first circular plate 53 first contact the photovoltaic panel to perform secondary scraping and cleaning.
[0029] It should be noted that this utility model describes an inclined, lateral crawling photovoltaic cleaning device. The track 4 drives the trolley 1 to crawl on the photovoltaic panel. The rinsing mechanism 3 is installed and fixed by threading bolts 33 through the connector 32 and threaded into the threaded holes 2 on the trolley 1. Since there are several threaded holes 2, the installation position of the rinsing mechanism 3 can be easily adjusted. Water is supplied to the rinsing pipe 36 through the water supply pipe 35, and the rinsing pipe 36 sprays water for rinsing. During the rinsing process, the movable plate 37, under the elastic action of the spring 372, always maintains a certain downward pressure, causing the rubber... The squeegee 373 contacts the photovoltaic panel to scrape water off the washed panel and prevent water stains from remaining. Then, the motor 52 is started to drive the first circular plate 53 and the second circular plate 56 to rotate. The three brush rollers 54 installed between the second circular plate 56 and the first circular plate 53 first contact the photovoltaic panel to scrape water and clean it. When the first brush roller 54 is dirty, the motor 52 is started to make the next brush roller 54 contact the photovoltaic panel. This step is repeated for the third brush roller 54. After the work is completed, all three brush rollers 54 are cleaned at the same time.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
