[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 This application provides a roller brush device 100, which is applied to a photovoltaic cleaning robot. The roller brush device 100 is used to clean photovoltaic panels and block sewage splashed backward by the roller brush 30.
[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 In this embodiment, the roller brush device 100 includes a robot body 10, a movable support 20, a roller brush 30, and an outer cover 40. The robot body 10 is provided with a support member 11. The movable support 20 is movably connected to the support member 11 and can float relative to the support member 11 in the vertical direction. The roller brush 30 is rotatably connected to the movable support 20 and is used to clean dust or contaminants on the photovoltaic panel. The outer cover 40 is located above the roller brush 30, covers part of the roller brush 30, and blocks the sewage splashed backward by the roller brush 30, so as to block the sewage splashed by the roller brush 30 during rotation, avoid sewage contact with the robot body 10 or the movable support 20, and ensure the cleanliness of the roller brush device 100.
[0047] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4In this embodiment, the robot body 10 serves as a support component of the roller brush device 100, and is used to support the movable bracket 20, the roller brush 30, and the outer cover 40. The robot body 10 is provided with a support member 11.
[0048] The movable support 20 is located on the front or rear side of the robot body 10. The movable support 20 is movably connected to the support member 11 and can float in the vertical direction relative to the support member 11 to facilitate adjustment of the vertical position of the movable support 20 relative to the support member 11.
[0049] The roller brush 30 is located inside the movable bracket 20 and is rotatably connected to the movable bracket 20 to adjust the position of the roller brush 30 relative to the movable bracket 20. The roller brush 30 is used to clean dust or contaminants on the photovoltaic panel to remove dust or contaminants from the photovoltaic panel and ensure the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel.
[0050] The outer cover 40 is located on the upper side of the roller brush 30. The outer cover 40 covers part of the roller brush 30 and blocks the sewage splashed backward by the roller brush 30, so as to block the sewage splashed out by the roller brush 30 during rotation, prevent sewage from contacting the robot body 10 or the movable support 20, and ensure the cleanliness of the roller brush device 100.
[0051] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the outer cover 40 is arranged in an arc shape so that its inner contour matches the inner contour of the roller brush 30. The outer cover 40 is connected to the movable bracket 20 either separately or as a single piece. When the outer cover 40 is connected to the movable bracket 20 separately, it allows the outer cover 40 to be connected to or detached from the movable bracket 20, thereby improving the ease of disassembly of the outer cover 40 and facilitating individual cleaning of the outer cover 40. When the outer cover 40 is connected to the movable bracket 20 as a single piece, it ensures the stability of the connection between the outer cover 40 and the movable bracket 20, improves the connection strength between the outer cover 40 and the movable bracket 20, and prevents the outer cover 40 from detaching from the movable bracket 20 during operation.
[0052] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, the outer cover 40 is connected to a water spray component 41, which is arranged in a downward inclined direction. The water spray component 41 sprays water onto the roller brush 30 or the area in front of the roller brush 30, thereby rinsing the roller brush 30 or the area in front of the roller brush 30 and ensuring the cleanliness of the roller brush 30 or the area in front of the roller brush 30. At the same time, the water spray component 41 works in conjunction with the roller brush 30 to clean dust or contaminants on the photovoltaic panel, further improving the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel.
[0053] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4In this embodiment of the application, there are multiple water spray elements 41, which are arranged along the length of the outer cover 40 and are interconnected. By arranging multiple water spray elements 41, the water spraying efficiency of the water spray elements 41 relative to the roller brush 30 or in the front area of the roller brush 30 is increased, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the roller brush device 100.
[0054] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 3 and 5 In this embodiment, the roller brush device 100 further includes a motor 50 and a first transmission module 60. The fixed end of the motor 50 is connected to the movable bracket 20, one end of the first transmission module 60 is connected to the output end of the motor 50, and the other end of the first transmission module 60 is connected to the roller brush 30, driving the roller brush 30 to rotate along its own axis. This allows the roller brush 30 to automatically rotate relative to the movable bracket 20 through the cooperation of the motor 50 and the first transmission module 60. The first transmission module 60 is a synchronous belt drive module, a chain drive module, or a connecting belt drive module. The synchronous belt drive module, chain drive module, or connecting belt drive module reduces noise and avoids the use of gear transmission, thus reducing the noise of the roller brush device 100. At the same time, the motor 50 is located on the side of the movable bracket 20 away from the roller brush 30, making full use of the space on the side of the movable bracket 20 away from the roller brush 30, improving the space utilization rate of the roller brush device 100, and reducing the area occupied by the roller brush device 100.
[0055] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 A connecting rod 51 is provided between the output end of the motor 50 and one end of the first transmission module 60.

The two ends of the connecting rod 51 are respectively connected to the output end of the motor 50 and one end of the first transmission module 60, and transmit the power output from the output end of the motor 50 to the first transmission module 60. This allows the output end of the motor 50 to be connected to the first transmission module 60 via the connecting rod 51, so that the output end of the motor 50 can drive the first transmission module 60 to rotate under the driving action of the connecting rod 51, thereby realizing the automatic rotation of the roller brush 30 by the cooperation of the motor 50 and the first transmission module 60.
[0056] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 3 and 5The connecting rod 51 is rotatably inserted through the movable bracket 20 to facilitate adjustment of the position of the connecting rod 51 relative to the movable bracket 20. This allows the movable bracket 20 to restrict the position of the connecting rod 51, preventing deformation of the connecting rod 51 during rotation. One end of the connecting rod 51 is connected to the output end of the motor 50 via a universal joint 52 to allow for angle adjustment of the connecting rod 51 relative to the motor 50, avoiding a rigid connection between the connecting rod 51 and the motor 50. The other end of the connecting rod 51 passes through one end of the first transmission module 60, allowing the motor 50 to connect to the first transmission module 60 via the connecting rod 51. The positional deviation between the motor 50 and the first transmission module 60 is adjusted by the universal joint 52 to change the position of the connecting rod 51.
[0057] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 In this embodiment, when the first transmission module 60 is a synchronous belt transmission module, the synchronous belt transmission module includes a driving pulley, a synchronous belt, and a driven pulley; the driving pulley is connected to the output end of the motor 50, and the driven pulley is connected to the connection end of the roller brush 30; the synchronous belt is disposed between the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and pulls the driving pulley and the driven pulley, so that the motor 50 can start and drive the driving pulley, the synchronous belt, and the driven pulley to rotate, thereby facilitating the rotation of the roller brush 30 with the rotation of the driven pulley, so as to realize that the roller brush 30 rotates under the drive of the synchronous belt transmission module, avoiding the use of gear transmission and reducing the noise of the roller brush device 100.
[0058] When the first transmission module 60 is a chain drive module, the chain drive module includes a first sprocket, a chain, and a second sprocket; the first sprocket is connected to the output end of the motor 50, and the second sprocket is connected to the connection end of the roller brush 30; the chain is arranged between the first sprocket and the second sprocket, and pulls the first sprocket and the second sprocket, so that the motor 50 can start and drive the first sprocket, the chain, and the second sprocket to rotate, thereby making it easier for the roller brush 30 to rotate with the rotation of the second sprocket, so that the roller brush 30 can rotate under the drive of the chain drive module, avoiding the use of gear transmission and reducing the noise of the roller brush device 100.
[0059] When the first transmission module 60 is a connecting belt transmission module, the connecting belt transmission module includes a first connecting wheel, a connecting belt, and a second connecting wheel; the first connecting wheel is connected to the output end of the motor 50, and the second connecting wheel is connected to the connecting end of the roller brush 30; the connecting belt is disposed between the first connecting wheel and the second connecting wheel, and pulls the first connecting wheel and the second connecting wheel, so that the motor 50 can start and drive the first connecting wheel, the connecting belt, and the second connecting wheel to rotate, thereby facilitating the rotation of the roller brush 30 with the rotation of the second connecting wheel, so that the roller brush 30 can rotate under the drive of the connecting belt transmission module, avoiding the use of gear transmission and reducing the noise of the roller brush device 100.
[0060] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 3 and6 In this embodiment, the roller brush device 100 further includes a support base 70, which is located on the side of the movable bracket 20 facing away from the roller brush 30 and supports the motor 50, so that the movable bracket 20 can support the motor 50 through the support base 70, thus ensuring the positional accuracy of the motor 50 relative to the movable bracket 20.
[0061] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 6 The support base 70 is provided with at least one guide arm 71. The guide arm 71 is installed on the movable bracket 20 and can be adjusted in position relative to the movable bracket 20. This allows the position of the guide arm 71 relative to the movable bracket 20 to be adjusted, thereby facilitating the position adjustment of the support base 70 as the guide arm 71 is adjusted relative to the movable bracket 20. This enables the motor 50 to be adjusted in position, ensuring the connection effect of the motor 50 relative to the first transmission module 60.
[0062] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 3 and 6 The movable bracket 20 is provided with a threaded hole 20a; the guide arm 71 is provided with an elongated hole 71a, which is arranged along the width direction of the guide arm 71 and exposes the threaded hole 20a. The elongated hole 71a is passed through the bolt and screwed into the threaded hole 20a to realize the connection between the guide arm 71 and the movable bracket 20. When the position of the elongated hole 71a relative to the threaded hole 20a is adjusted, the position of the guide arm 71 relative to the movable bracket 20 can be adjusted.
[0063] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 3 The movable support 20 is connected to a handle 21, which is located on the upper side of the movable support 20 and is intended for the user to grasp, so that the user can lift the roller brush device 100 by grasping the handle 21, thereby improving the user's lifting convenience.
[0064] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 7. In this embodiment of the application, the roller brush device 100 further includes a shock absorber 80, which is disposed between the support member 11 and the movable bracket 20. The shock absorber 80 is provided with a first shock absorber arm 81, which elastically contacts the movable bracket 20 and applies an elastic force to the movable bracket 20 to reduce the noise of the movable bracket 20 during the falling process. By making full use of the elastic support of the first shock absorber arm 81 on the movable bracket 20, the falling speed of the movable bracket 20 is reduced, thereby reducing the noise of the movable bracket 20 during the falling process and avoiding the generation of large noise when the movable bracket 20 moves relative to the robot body 10, thus reducing the activity noise of the roller brush device 100.
[0065] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-27. In this embodiment of the application, the movable support 20 is swayably connected to the robot body 10 and swings in the vertical direction; so as to adjust the vertical position of the movable support 20 relative to the robot body 10. When the roller brush 30 contacts an object on the photovoltaic panel, it will lift the movable support 20 upward, so that the roller brush 30 will drive the movable support 20 to move in the vertical direction due to the uneven surface of the photovoltaic panel during the rolling process, thereby facilitating the shock absorber 80 to apply an elastic force to the movable support 20, so as to reduce the noise of the movable support 20 during the falling process.
[0066] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 7. In this embodiment, the robot body 10 is provided with a first arm 12; the movable bracket 20 is hinged to the robot body 10 so that the movable bracket 20 can move along the axis of the connection between the movable bracket 20 and the robot body 10, and the movable bracket 20 can move closer to or further away from the first arm 12; so that the movable bracket 20 can connect to or disconnect from the first arm 12, thereby facilitating the movable bracket 20 to move in the vertical direction. A shock absorber 80 is connected to the first arm 12 so that the shock absorber 80 is fixed to the first arm 12, thereby facilitating the first arm 12 to limit the position of the shock absorber 80. The first shock absorber arm 81 contacts the movable bracket 20 so that the first shock absorber arm 81 applies an elastic force to the movable bracket 20, thereby reducing the noise of the movable bracket 20 during the falling process. Optionally, the shock absorber 80 is a torsion spring.
[0067] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 7. The shock absorber 80 is sleeved on the first support arm 12 so that the first shock absorber 81 faces the movable support 20 and the first shock absorber 81 elastically contacts the movable support 20 so that the first shock absorber 81 applies an elastic force to the movable support 20 to reduce the noise of the movable support 20 during the falling process. The elastic support of the first shock absorber 81 on the movable support 20 is fully utilized to reduce the falling speed of the movable support 20, thereby reducing the noise of the movable support 20 during the falling process.
[0068] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 7. The shock absorber 80 is also provided with a second shock absorber arm 82. The second shock absorber arm 82 is located on the other side of the first shock absorber arm 81. The second shock absorber arm 82 is connected to the first arm 12 so that the first arm 12 can restrict the position of the shock absorber 80 through the second shock absorber arm 82, thus ensuring the position of the shock absorber 80 relative to the first arm 12.
[0069] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 7The first support arm 12 is provided with multiple through holes 12a, which are arranged circumferentially along the axial direction of the first support arm 12. Each through hole 12a can be inserted into the second shock-absorbing support arm 82, so that the second shock-absorbing support arm 82 can adjust the magnitude of the elastic force applied by the first shock-absorbing support arm 81 relative to the movable bracket 20 by inserting different through holes 12a, thereby improving the versatility of the shock absorber 80.
[0070] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 The robot body 10 is also provided with a second arm 13, which is located below the first arm 12. One end of the movable bracket 20 is hinged to the second arm 13 so that the second arm 13 can further abut against the position of the movable bracket 20, ensuring the connection stability of the movable bracket 20 relative to the robot body 10. The movable bracket 20 can be detached from the second arm 13 so that the movable bracket 20 can move relative to the robot body 10.
[0071] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-2 The movable support 20 has a groove 20b at one end, which is adapted to the second support arm 13. The groove 20b has an opening for the second support arm 13 to pass through, so that the second support arm 13 can be accommodated in the groove 20b through the opening. This makes it easy for the movable support 20 to engage with the second support arm 13 through the groove 20b, and at the same time, it allows the movable support 20 to disengage from the second support arm 13 through the opening.
