Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment for photovoltaic modules, and in particular to a robot for cleaning the four corners of photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] During the assembly of solar cells, the step of splicing the frame onto the bracket requires the use of adhesive. When pressing the frame and the solar panel together, the adhesive between the frame and the solar panel is squeezed out, resulting in excess adhesive at the corners of the frame and the edges of the solar panel. The squeezed-out adhesive makes the edges of the solar panel prone to getting dirty and sticking to other solar panels, affecting the appearance and requiring cleaning.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning of excess adhesive on the edges of solar panels has gradually shifted from manual cleaning to automated cleaning devices. However, the automation level of existing cleaning devices is not high, resulting in low adhesive removal efficiency and failing to meet user needs. Utility Model Content
