Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a multi-functional cleaning device for drones. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone technology, drones have been widely used due to their safety, speed, and efficiency. Currently, drones can be seen in fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, mini selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying, news reporting, power line inspection, disaster relief, and film and television shooting, which have significantly promoted the improvement of work efficiency.

[0003] In recent years, the application of drones in the field of automated cleaning has become increasingly significant, such as the cleaning of building facades. For cleaning building facades, drones are used in conjunction with cleaning trucks to supply water and spray water to clean the facades. This avoids the problems of traditional manual cleaning, such as the need for high-altitude operations and low cleaning efficiency, making it safer and more efficient. With the development of technology, drones are also beginning to show their potential in other cleaning fields, such as the cleaning of solar photovoltaic panels.

[0004] However, during the cleaning process of solar photovoltaic panels, the cleaning water pipes need to be installed downwards, so they cannot be installed before the drone takes off. The current application of drones in the cleaning field mostly adopts the method of drones carrying cleaning equipment and placing it on the solar photovoltaic panels, which cannot achieve spray cleaning of solar photovoltaic panels.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a multi-functional cleaning device for drones. It employs a horizontal cleaning pipe for cleaning building facades and a vertical cleaning pipe for cleaning solar photovoltaic panels. The cleaning pipe for cleaning the solar photovoltaic panels is installed horizontally before cleaning to avoid affecting the assembly of the cleaning pipe, and rotates to a vertical position after the drone takes off. This allows for simultaneous cleaning of both building facades and solar photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

A three-way ball valve 44 is provided at the junction of the first outlet 42 and the second outlet 43. The three-way ball valve 44 controls the water to flow out from the first outlet 42 or the second outlet 43.

[0027] A first cleaning pipe 3 is provided on the front side below the mounting plate 2. The first cleaning pipe 3 includes multiple branch pipes 31. Adjacent branch pipes 31 are connected by connecting joints 32. The front end of the foremost branch pipe 31 is connected to the first nozzle 33. In this embodiment, each branch pipe 31 can be a carbon fiber pipe. The ends of the carbon fiber pipe are provided with internal threads. The connecting joints 32 are threaded to the branch pipes 31 on both sides through the external threads at both ends. The first nozzle 33 can be an external thread nozzle. The nozzle is connected to the front end of the foremost branch pipe 31 through the external thread.

[0028] In this embodiment, both the three-way connecting pipe 4 and the first cleaning pipe 3 can be fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 2 by clamps. The connection method is similar to that described above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0029] Connection mechanisms 5 are provided on both sides below the mounting plate 2. The connection mechanism 5 includes a servo motor 51, which is connected to the control main board and to a fixed pipe clamp 52. The fixed pipe clamp 52 includes a connecting part 521. One end of the connecting part 521 is connected to the rotation shaft of the servo motor 51, and the other end of the connecting part 521 is connected to two elastic clips 522. The two elastic clips 522 and the connecting part 521 are in reverse "L" shape and semi-circular. One end of the elastic clips 522 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 521, and the other end is fastened by a fastening bolt.

Various connection methods can be used between the connecting hose and the conversion tee pipe, as well as between the connecting hose and the first and second cleaning pipes 6, such as sleeve connection and tightening with wire.

[0032] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] This utility model can be used to clean building facades or solar photovoltaic panels. When cleaning building facades, a first cleaning pipe 3 is used, which connects the three-way connecting pipe 4 to the first outlet 42. When cleaning solar photovoltaic panels, a second cleaning pipe 6 is used, which connects the three-way connecting pipe 4 to the second outlet 43.

[0034] During use, if the first cleaning tube 3 is used, the second cleaning tube 6 does not need to be installed. If the second cleaning tube 6 is used, the first cleaning tube 3 does not need to be installed. They can be disassembled during the process.

[0035] Specifically, when using the second cleaning tube 6 to clean the solar photovoltaic panel, first control the servo motor 51 to rotate so that the clamping port in the fixed tube clamp 52 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the second cleaning tube 6 can be installed and fixed horizontally. When the drone takes off, the servo motor 51 rotates and can rotate the second cleaning tube 6 to a vertical state (the second cleaning tube 6 does not interfere with the drone landing gear during rotation, that is, when the second cleaning tube 6 is in a horizontal state, it is located below the landing gear), thereby achieving the cleaning of the solar photovoltaic panel.

[0036] In the use of this utility model, it needs to be used with a cleaning vehicle. The water pipe of the ground cleaning vehicle is connected to the inlet end 41 of the three-way connecting pipe 4 to supply water to the cleaning pipe. It is common for the cleaning vehicle to be used in conjunction with the drone, so it will not be described in detail.
