Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of outdoor space structure technology, and more specifically, to an outdoor space structure. Background Technology
[0002] The existing outdoor space structure mainly consists of a frame and a first cover and a second cover. The frame serves as the basic support. The first cover is located on the top surface of the frame and is configured to switch between open and closed states to provide wind protection or ventilation as needed. The second cover is located on the facade of the frame and is configured to switch between open and closed states to facilitate the entry and exit of consumers and to provide wind protection or ventilation.
[0003] When closed, this outdoor space structure can be enclosed with the installation surface to form a closed space, achieving a high level of lighting and ventilation while ensuring safety: a light transmittance of ≥30% and a ventilation opening area of ≥20% of the outdoor space structure's ground area. Simultaneously, a temperature control system is installed within this space, allowing users to comfortably enjoy the outdoor scenery and better connect with nature even in varying weather conditions such as heat, cold, and rain.
[0004] However, outdoor space structure products on the market generally face challenges in cleaning and maintaining their tops. Since the top height of outdoor space structures typically exceeds 2.6 meters, the dust, leaves, and other debris that accumulate during daily use not only affect aesthetics but also pose significant inconvenience and safety risks for manual cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, this application provides an outdoor space structure to improve the cleaning problem of the top of the outdoor space structure in the related art.
[0006] This application is implemented as follows:
[0007] This application provides an example of an outdoor space structure, including a frame, a cleaning mechanism, and a moving mechanism. A cover is disposed on the top of the frame and configured to switch between an open and closed state. The cleaning mechanism includes a first brush head and a second brush head, the first and second brush heads facing the cover head away from the frame. The moving mechanism has a moving member configured to drive the first and second brush heads to slide along the surface of the cover head. The moving member is also configured to independently drive the first and second brush heads in a first direction toward or away from the cover head, so that the first and second brush heads contact the cover head sequentially, performing coarse and fine cleaning on the cover head, respectively.
[0008] In the above implementation process, a moving mechanism and a cleaning mechanism are installed at the top of the outdoor space structure. When it is necessary to clean the top covering (such as louvers), the moving mechanism can be used to move the first and second brush heads in the cleaning mechanism to the position to be cleaned on the covering. This allows the first and second brush heads to contact the area to be cleaned on the covering in sequence. Then, the first and second brush heads are moved to perform coarse and fine cleaning on the covering, removing dust, fallen leaves, and other dirt from its surface. Furthermore, by using the moving mechanism to independently adjust the contact between the first and second brush heads and the covering, the first and second brush heads can be selected more flexibly for coarse and fine cleaning, thus improving the cleaning quality.
[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the cover has intersecting second and third directions. The moving mechanism includes two first linear moving parts that move along a first direction, a second linear moving part that moves along a second direction, and a third linear moving part that slides along a third direction. A first brush head and a second brush head are connected to the movable ends of the two first linear moving parts in a one-to-one correspondence. The fixed ends of both first linear moving parts are connected to the movable ends of the second linear moving parts. The fixed ends of the second linear moving parts are connected to the movable ends of the third linear moving parts, and the fixed ends of the third linear moving parts are located at the top of the frame.
[0010] In the above implementation process, when it is necessary to clean a certain area of the cover on the top of the frame, the second linear moving part and the first linear moving part can be used to make the two brush heads contact the area to be cleaned of the cover in turn. Then, the third linear moving part is used to drive the two brush heads to slide across the area to be cleaned of the cover in turn to perform coarse and fine cleaning of the area to be cleaned of the cover.
[0011] In one optional embodiment, the third linear moving member includes a slide rail disposed on the top of the frame, pulleys slidably connected to the slide rail, and a driving member for driving the pulleys to slide along the slide rail. The pulleys are I-beam pulleys, including at least one set of symmetrically arranged grooved rollers, and a connecting shaft connecting the at least one set of grooved rollers. The slide rail has a through-slot structure, with raised tracks on both sides of the bottom and top walls of the through-slot structure along its transverse direction, respectively embedded in the grooves of the at least one set of grooved rollers. A connecting rod is connected to the connecting shaft, extending through the through-slot structure and connecting to the fixed end of the second linear moving member.
[0012] In the above implementation process, a slide rail and a pulley slidably connected to the slide rail are provided at the top of the frame. The fixed end of the second linear moving part is set on the pulley. The pulley can be driven to slide along the slide rail by the driving part, thereby driving the second linear moving part, the first linear moving part set on the second linear moving part, the first brush head and the second brush head to slide along the extension direction of the slide rail, so as to facilitate cleaning of the cover part by the first brush head and the second brush head. Furthermore, the pulley is set as an I-beam wheel, and the slide rail is set as a through groove structure with raised tracks on both the top and bottom walls of the groove. The upper and lower ends of the two grooved rollers in the I-beam wheel can be respectively locked in the raised tracks on both sides. The bidirectional locking of the pulley and the slide rail improves the connection stability of the pulley and prevents derailment.
[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the cover includes a plurality of louvers spaced apart along a second direction, each louver extending along a third direction. The fixed ends of two first linear moving members are spaced apart along the second direction from the movable end of a second linear moving member, such that the first brush head and the second brush head are spaced apart along the second direction.
[0014] In the above implementation process, in the cover, the extension direction of the louvers is consistent with the movement direction of the third linear moving member. The third linear moving member can drive the first brush head and the second brush head to slide along the extension direction of the louvers, thereby cleaning the louvers. Furthermore, the two first linear moving members are spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the louvers, so that the first brush head and the second brush head are spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the multiple louvers. The first brush head and the second brush head correspond to two louvers respectively. During one linear movement of the first linear moving member, the first brush head and the second brush head can perform coarse and fine cleaning on the two louvers respectively, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.
[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the cover includes multiple rotatable louvers, each louver having an opposing first and second blade surface. When the cover is closed, the first blade surface is away from the frame, and the second blade surface is close to the frame. A baffle is provided at one end of the first blade surface of each louver. When the cover is closed, in any two adjacent louvers, the baffle of the first louver extends above the second louver to seal the gap between the two louvers. The end of the baffle facing away from the first louver is detachably sealed to the first blade surface of the second louver via a first sealing member.
[0016] In the above implementation process, when the cover is closed, the gap between two adjacent louvers can be sealed from above by a baffle. The baffle reduces the probability of leaves, dust, or rainwater entering the outdoor space structure through the gap between the louvers. When sealing the gap between adjacent louvers using the baffle, a certain gap inevitably exists between the end of the baffle and the surface of the louver, and debris such as leaves may inevitably get stuck in this gap. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first sealing element is provided between the end of the baffle and the surface of the louver for sealing, which can reduce the position of debris such as leaves stuck between the louvers, making it easier for the cleaning mechanism 3 to clean.
[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the baffle is configured as a hook-shaped part that bends toward the second blade surface, and a protrusion is provided at the other end of the first blade surface of each louver. When the cover is closed, in two adjacent louvers, the baffle of the first louver covers the protrusion of the second louver, and the middle part of the baffle of the first louver is detachably and sealingly connected to the protrusion of the second louver via a second seal.
[0018] In the above implementation process, protrusions and hook-shaped baffles are respectively set at the ends of two adjacent louvers. The baffles seal the protrusion from above. Not only can the cooperation of the hooks and protrusions improve the sealing performance of the louvers when the cover is closed, but the protrusions at the ends of the louvers can also further reduce the probability of rainwater flowing into the outdoor space structure along the edge of the louvers.
[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the cleaning mechanism further includes a nozzle. The nozzle is disposed at the movable end of the second linear moving member and is configured to spray liquid onto a cover that contacts the first brush head and / or the second brush head.
[0020] In the above implementation process, a nozzle is also provided at the movable end of the second linear moving member. Therefore, when the cover is cleaned using the first brush head or the second brush head, the nozzle can spray liquid onto the cover, further improving the cleaning effect.
[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the outdoor space structure is further provided with a rainwater harvesting mechanism, including a collection pipe and a collection tank connected to the collection pipe. The collection pipe is vertically installed at the columns of the frame, and a rainwater filter is installed at the top of the collection pipe. The collection tank is connected to a nozzle via a rainwater delivery pipe.
[0022] In the above implementation process, rainwater collection pipes are installed at the frame columns to transport rainwater to a collection tank for storage. When the brush head cleans the cover, the collected rainwater can be transported to the nozzles via the rainwater delivery pipes, and the nozzles can then spray the liquid onto the cover, improving the cleaning quality. Installing a rainwater collection mechanism reduces dependence on external energy sources and improves environmental friendliness.
[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the outdoor space structure also includes a cleaning agent container disposed on top of the frame, the cleaning agent container being connected to a nozzle via a cleaning agent delivery pipe to deliver cleaning agent to the nozzle.
[0024] In the above process, the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent container is delivered to the nozzle through the cleaning agent delivery pipe, and the cleaning liquid containing the cleaning agent can be sprayed onto the cover, which can further improve the cleaning quality.
[0025] In one alternative implementation, a photovoltaic solar panel is also provided on the top of the frame.
[0026] In the above implementation process, a photovoltaic solar panel is installed on the top of the frame, which can power the moving mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Existing outdoor space structures, such as viewing pavilions, typically have a roof that can be switched between open and closed states to facilitate wind protection or ventilation. However, current outdoor space structure products on the market generally face challenges in cleaning and maintaining the roof. Since the roof height of outdoor space structures usually exceeds 2.6 meters, the accumulation of dust, leaves, and other debris during daily use not only affects aesthetics but also poses significant inconvenience and safety risks for manual cleaning.
[0040] Therefore, this application further improves the outdoor space structure, thereby alleviating the cleaning problem of the top covering of the outdoor space structure to a certain extent. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an outdoor space structure 100, including a frame 1, a cover 2, a cleaning mechanism 3, and a moving mechanism 4.
[0042] Please continue reading for more details. Figure 1 Cover 2 is positioned on top of frame 1. Cover 2 is configured to switch between an open and closed state.
[0043] Please continue reading for more details. Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a first brush head 31 and a second brush head 32. The first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 face the side of the cover 2 away from the frame 1.
[0044] Please continue reading for more details. Figure 2 The moving part of the moving mechanism 4 is configured to drive the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to move along the surface of the cover 2. The moving part of the moving mechanism 4 is also configured to independently drive the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to move toward or away from the cover 2 in a first direction D1, so that the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 contact the cover 2 in turn, and perform coarse and fine sweeping on the cover 2 respectively.
[0045] The outdoor space structure 100 provided in this application embodiment allows for the following cleaning methods when cleaning the cover 2: First, the moving part of the moving mechanism 4 drives the first brush head 31 to slide along the surface of the cover 2, performing a coarse sweep. Then, the moving part of the moving mechanism 4 drives the second brush head 32 to slide along the surface of the cover 2, performing a fine sweep. By using the moving part of the moving mechanism 4 to drive the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to perform coarse and fine sweeps on the cover 2, the cleaning quality can be improved.
[0046] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a further detailed description of the frame 1, covering 2, cleaning mechanism 3, and moving mechanism 4 in the outdoor space structure 100 provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 Frame 1 is usually a structure that can serve as a basic support, and a cover 2 is set on the top of frame 1.
[0048] This application does not limit the specific shape of frame 1, and it can be selected according to conventional structures in the art. For example, please refer to [further details]. Figure 1 The frame 1 includes multiple columns and multiple crossbeams set at the top of the columns. The multiple crossbeams are connected end to end in sequence to support the cover 2, the cleaning mechanism 3 and the moving mechanism 4.
[0049] The cover 2 can switch between an open and closed state to facilitate wind blocking or ventilation. This application does not limit the specific type of cover 2; it can be selected from covers 2 conventionally installed in outdoor space structures.
[0050] In some embodiments, the cover 2 is glass that can be opened and closed.
[0051] Alternatively, in some embodiments, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cover 2 may include multiple louvers 21 arranged in a certain direction, each louver 21 capable of rotating under the action of a rotation shaft. Typically, each louver 21 has two opposing surfaces, hereinafter referred to as the first blade surface 211 and the second blade surface 212. For example, in the closed state of the cover 2, the second blade surface 212 of each louver 21 faces the frame 1 (e.g., a crossbeam facing the frame 1), while the first blade surface 211 faces away from the frame 1 and towards the outside. In the open state of the cover 2, in two adjacent louvers 21, the blade surface of the preceding louver 21 is parallel to the blade surface of the following louver 21, forming a channel between the two louvers 21.
[0052] Furthermore, to improve the sealing performance of the cover 2 when closed and reduce the likelihood of leaves, dust, rainwater, etc. from the outdoor environment entering the interior of the outdoor space structure 100 through the gaps between adjacent louvers 21, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 A baffle 22 can be provided at one end of the first blade surface 211 of each louver 21. When the cover 2 is closed, in two adjacent louver 21, the baffle 22 of the first louver 21 extends above the second louver 21 to seal the gap between the two louver 21.
[0053] Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific structure of the baffle 22; please refer to the following for some embodiments. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The baffle 22 can be configured as a hook that bends toward the second blade surface 212, and a protrusion 23 is provided at the other end of the first blade surface 211 of each louver 21. When the cover 2 is closed, in two adjacent louver 21, the baffle 22 of the first louver 21 covers the protrusion 23 of the second louver 21.
[0054] It is understandable that when the louver 21 is rotated using the rotating shaft to open the cover 2, the protrusion 23 will not interfere with the rotation of the louver 21.
[0055] A hook-shaped baffle 22 is placed over the protrusion 23, and the baffle 22 spans the gap between two adjacent louver blades 21 to seal the gap. The two ends of the louver blades 21 are the protrusion 23 and the baffle 22, respectively. Both the protrusion 23 and the baffle 22 protrude upwards relative to other positions on the first blade surface 211, which also reduces the probability of rainwater, dust, etc., flowing into the indoor space structure 100 along the first blade surface 211 of the louver blades 21. The cooperation between the hook-shaped baffle 22 and the protrusion 23 also improves the sealing performance of the closed cover 2.
[0056] In some cases, a gap inevitably exists between the end of the baffle 22 furthest from its louver 21 and another louver 21, allowing leaves, dust, and other debris to get stuck and difficult to clean. Therefore, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 5 A first sealing element 24 can be provided between the end of the baffle 22 and another louver 21 to seal the gap.
[0057] As an example, the first seal 24 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber. For instance, the first seal 24 can be an EPDM soft and hard co-extruded strip, a fiber mop, a silicone mop, etc.
[0058] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5Furthermore, a second seal 25 can be provided between the top of the protrusion 23 and the baffle 22. The second seal 25 and the first seal 24 cooperate to form a double seal, which can further improve the sealing effect.
[0059] This application does not limit the material of the second seal 25. As an example, the first seal 24 and the second seal 25 can be made of the same material. Alternatively, the first seal 24 and the second seal 25 can be made of different materials.
[0060] Furthermore, the first seal 24 and the second seal 25 can be integrally formed, with the bottom of the second seal 25 being snapped into the protrusion 23, and the first seal 24 extending to the position of the louver 21 corresponding to the end of the baffle 22.
[0061] Please see Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 3 provided in this application embodiment includes two brush heads, namely a first brush head 31 and a second brush head 32, which can be used to perform coarse and fine cleaning on the cover 2 respectively, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0062] In some embodiments, the first brush head 31 is harder than the second brush head 32. The first brush head 31, with its higher hardness and abrasion resistance, can remove most of the larger particles of debris during coarse cleaning, while the second brush head 32, with its certain flexibility, can remove residual small debris during fine cleaning, further improving the cleaning quality.
[0063] As an example, the first brush head 31 can be a bristle brush with multiple fibers, and the second brush head 32 can be a silicone brush with multiple fibers.
[0064] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 can be scraper structures. The scraper of the first brush head 31 can be made of stainless steel. The scraper of the second brush head 32 can be made of plastic, and the end of the scraper that contacts the cover 2 is provided with silicone.
[0065] The moving parts of the moving mechanism 4 can adjust the positions of the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 relatively independently, so as to drive the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to clean the cover 2 in turn.
[0066] This application does not limit the specific type of the moving mechanism 4. In some embodiments, the moving components of the moving mechanism 4 include a rotating shaft, a telescopic cylinder, and lifting components. The rotating shaft is located above the middle of the cover 2. The fixed end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the rotating shaft, and the extension direction of the telescopic cylinder is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder is provided with two lifting components that move up and down in a first direction. The movable ends of the two lifting components are respectively fixed with a first brush head 31 and a second brush head 32. The telescopic cylinder can adjust the distance between the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 relative to the cover 2, so that the rotating shaft can drive the brush head to make circumferential movements of different diameters along the surface of the cover 2 to clean the surface of the cover 2. The lifting components can be electric push rods.
[0067] As an example, when it is necessary to use the first brush head 31 to perform a rough sweep on a certain area of the cover 2, the telescopic cylinder moves the first brush head 31 above the area, the lifting component lowers the first brush head 31 to that area of the cover 2, and then the rotating shaft drives the telescopic cylinder to rotate, thereby causing the first brush head 31 to perform a circular motion along the area of the cover 2 for rough sweeping. Then, when it is necessary to use the second brush head 32 to perform a fine sweep on the surface of the cover 2, the first brush head 31 is raised to separate from the cover 2, the telescopic cylinder moves the second brush head 32 above the area, the lifting component lowers the second brush head 32 to that area of the cover 2, and then the rotating shaft drives the telescopic cylinder to move, thereby causing the second brush head 32 to perform a circular motion along the area of the cover 2 for fine sweeping.
[0068] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the cover 2 has intersecting second directions D2 and third directions D3. The moving mechanism 4 includes two first linear moving members 41 that move along a first direction D1, a second linear moving member 42 that moves along a second direction D2, and a third linear moving member 43 that slides along a third direction D3. The first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 are connected to the movable ends of the two first linear moving members 41 in a one-to-one correspondence. The fixed ends of the two first linear moving members 41 are connected to the movable ends of the second linear moving members 42. The fixed ends of the second linear moving members 42 are connected to the movable ends of the third linear moving members 43. The fixed ends of the third linear moving members 43 are disposed at the crossbeam of the frame 1.
[0069] In the aforementioned moving mechanism 4, the brush head can be moved to various cleaning positions on the cover 2 using the third linear moving member 43 and the second linear moving member 42. The position of each brush head relative to the surface of the cover 2 can be individually adjusted using the two first linear moving members 41, allowing for selective cleaning of the cover 2 using two brush heads.
[0070] As an example, when it is necessary to clean the first area of the cover 2, the second linear motion member 42 can be used to move the first brush head 31 above the first area (the first area is, for example, a louver 21 in the cover 2). Then, the first linear motion member 41, which is connected to the first brush head 31, drives the first brush head 31 to move towards the cover 2, so that the first brush head 31 contacts the first area of the cover 2. Then, the third linear motion member 43 drives the first brush head 31 to slide along the first area of the cover 2 to perform a coarse sweeping of the first area. Then, the second linear motion member 42 moves the second brush head 32 above the first area. The first linear motion member 41 connected to the first brush head 31 drives the first brush head 31 to move away from the cover member 2, so that the first brush head 31 is separated from the cover member 2. At the same time, the first linear motion member 41 connected to the second brush head 32 drives the second brush head 32 to move closer to the cover member 2, so that the second brush head 32 contacts the first area of the cover member 2. Then, the third linear motion member 43 drives the second brush head 32 to slide along the first area of the cover member 2 to perform fine cleaning on the first area.
[0071] It is understood that when the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 clean the cover 2 successively, this application does not restrict the second brush head 32 to be idle when the first brush head 31 is performing a coarse sweep. Similarly, it does not restrict the first brush head 31 to be idle when the second brush head 32 is performing a fine sweep. In some embodiments, while the first brush head 31 is performing a coarse sweep on the first area of the cover 2, the second brush head 32 can perform a fine sweep on the second area that has already been coarsely swept.
[0072] As an example, at one of the louvers 21 of the cover 2, there are multiple areas to be cleaned along the extension direction of the louver 21, which are defined below as the third area and the fourth area. The moving direction of the third linear moving member 43 (i.e., the third direction D3) can be consistent with the extension direction of the louver 21, and the moving direction of the second linear moving member (i.e., the second direction D2) is consistent with the arrangement direction of the multiple louvers 21. In order to improve cleaning efficiency while ensuring cleaning quality, the fixed ends of the two first linear moving members 41 can be set along the third direction D3 at the movable end of the second linear moving member 42. Therefore, when it is necessary to clean the third and fourth areas at the louver 21, the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 can be moved to the position of the louver 21 using the second linear moving member 42, and then the two first linear moving members 41 can respectively drive the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to move and contact the louver 21. Then, the third linear moving part 43 simultaneously drives the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 to slide along the extension direction of the louver 21, so that the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32 slide over the third area and the fourth area respectively. In this way, while the first brush head 31 is performing a coarse sweep on the fourth area, the second brush head 32 can perform a fine sweep on the already coarsely swept third area, and coarse and fine sweeping at different locations can be performed simultaneously. Thus, when there are multiple consecutive cleaning areas on the louver 21, the corresponding coarse and fine sweeping at different locations can be performed simultaneously, which can improve cleaning efficiency.
[0073] Alternatively, the fixed ends of the two first linear moving parts 41 can be arranged along the second direction D2 at the movable end of the second linear moving part 42. When multiple louvers 21 need to be cleaned sequentially, the second linear moving part 42 can be used to move the two brush heads to the positions of the two louvers 21 respectively. Then, the first linear moving parts 41 can be used to move the two brush heads to the surfaces of the two louvers 21. Then, the third linear moving part 43 can be used to drive the first brush head 31 to perform a coarse sweep on one of the louvers 21, while simultaneously driving the second brush head 32 to perform a fine sweep on the other louver 21 that has already been coarsely swept. This process can be repeated to gradually clean multiple louvers 21, ultimately improving cleaning efficiency while ensuring cleaning quality.
[0074] Furthermore, this application does not limit the specific types of the first linear moving member 41, the second linear moving member 42, and the third linear moving member 43, and appropriate selections can be made according to conventional linear moving structures.
[0075] As an example, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3The third linear moving member 43 may include a slide rail 431, a pulley 432 slidably connected to the slide rail 431, and a driving member (not shown in the figure) that drives the pulley 432 to slide along the slide rail 431. A support beam may be provided on the top of the pulley 432 to fix the fixed end of the second linear moving member 42 to the support beam.
[0076] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 The pulley 432 is an I-beam pulley, including at least one set of symmetrically arranged grooved rollers 4321, and a connecting shaft 4322 connecting the at least one set of grooved rollers 4321. Each set of grooved rollers 4321 includes two rollers. The slide rail is a through-slot structure. Along the transverse direction of the through-slot structure, both sides of the bottom wall and top wall of the through-slot structure are provided with protruding tracks 4311 to be respectively embedded in the grooves of the at least one set of grooved rollers 4321. A connecting rod 4323 is connected to the connecting shaft 4322. The connecting rod 4323 extends out of the through-slot structure and connects to the fixed end of the second linear moving member 42. It can be understood that the above-mentioned through-slot structure is an inwardly narrowing through-slot structure, that is, the width of the internal cavity of the through-slot structure is greater than the width of the opening, so that the area on both sides of the opening opposite the bottom wall of the slot has a top wall to provide protruding tracks 4311 to fit into the top of the grooved rollers 4321. The track at the bottom wall of the groove can fit into the bottom of the grooved roller 4321, realizing bidirectional engagement between the slide rail 431 and the pulley 432, reducing the chance of the pulley 432 derailing and improving the stability of the third linear moving part 43.
[0077] This application does not limit the specific type of the driving component. In some embodiments, the driving component includes two gear shafts 434, a transmission belt 433 disposed on the two gear shafts 434, and a motor that drives the gear shafts 434 to rotate. The two gear shafts 434 and the motor are all mounted on the two ends of the slide rail 431 via a base. Figure 2 In this configuration, the connection between the base and the slide rail 431 is obscured by the connecting rod 4323. The transmission belt 433 is connected to the connecting rod 4323 of the pulley 432. It is understood that the connecting rod 4323 may include a vertically arranged first rod, a horizontally arranged second rod on the first rod, and a vertically arranged third rod on the second rod. The bottom end of the first rod is connected to the connecting shaft 4322 of the pulley 432, and the top end of the third rod is connected to the transmission belt 433. The fixed end of the second linear moving member 42 is located on the second rod.
[0078] Furthermore, a set of pulleys 432 and a set of slide rails 431 can be installed on the two opposite crossbeams respectively. The two ends of the connecting rod 4323 are connected to the two pulleys 432 respectively. The fixed end of the second linear moving part 42 is fixed to the connecting rod 4323.
[0079] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to... Figure 2Two sets of moving mechanisms 4 and two sets of cleaning mechanisms 3 can be set at the top of the frame 1, which can further improve cleaning efficiency.
[0080] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the third linear moving member 43 includes a lead screw and nut moving structure. Two mounting seats are provided at the top of the frame 1, and both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the two mounting seats respectively. A motor is provided at one of the mounting seats, and the motor is connected to one end of the lead screw to drive the lead screw to rotate. Furthermore, a guide rod is provided between the two mounting seats, and the extension direction of the guide rod is consistent with the extension direction of the lead screw. The slider has a threaded hole for threaded connection with the lead screw, and also a through hole fitted outside the guide rod. The fixed end of the second linear moving member 42 is provided on the slider.
[0081] Furthermore, both the second linear moving member 42 and the first linear moving member 41 can be independently selected from any one of hydraulic rods, gas support rods, or electric push rods.
[0082] To further improve cleaning quality, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 In some embodiments, a nozzle 5 may be provided at the movable end of the second linear moving member 42. The nozzle 5 is configured to spray liquid onto the cover 2 that contacts the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32.
[0083] This application does not limit the type of cleaning fluid sprayed by nozzle 5. In some embodiments, nozzle 5 can spray water.
[0084] Furthermore, in order to reduce the dependence of nozzle 5 on external water resources, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 1 A rainwater collection mechanism 6 may also be provided, including a collection pipe 61 and a water collection tank 62 connected to the collection pipe 61. The collection pipe 61 is vertically installed at the column of the frame 1, and a rainwater filter 63 is installed at the top of the collection pipe 61. The water collection tank 62 is connected to the nozzle 5 through a rainwater delivery pipe 64. It is understood that a water pump may also be installed at the rainwater delivery pipe 64.
[0085] This application does not limit the specific type of rainwater filter 63. In some embodiments, the rainwater filter 63 can be a filter screen. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the rainwater filter 63 can be a filter sponge or filter activated carbon.
[0086] Understandably, since the position of nozzle 5 needs to move with the movable end of the second linear moving member 42, while the water collection tank 62 is usually in a fixed position, the length of the rainwater delivery pipe 64 needs to meet the different positional requirements of nozzle 5. For example, the water collection tank 62 can be located underground. Alternatively, the water collection tank 62 can be located above ground. As an example, the rainwater delivery pipe 64 can be reserved with sufficient length to still deliver water to the nozzle when it moves to its farthest distance. As an example, the rainwater delivery pipe 64 can be a delivery pipe that can be extended or shortened, including but not limited to a corrugated pipe.
[0087] To further improve cleaning quality, in some embodiments, nozzle 5 can also spray cleaning agent. Please refer to the following documentation. Figure 2 A cleaning agent container 71 can be installed on the top of the frame 1. The cleaning agent container 71 is connected to the nozzle 5 through a cleaning agent delivery pipe 72 to deliver cleaning agent to the nozzle 5.
[0088] This application does not limit the specific location of the cleaning agent container 71. In some embodiments, the cleaning agent container 71 can be located at the movable end of the second linear moving member 42 and move together with the nozzle 5. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the cleaning agent container 71 can be located on the crossbeam, and the cleaning agent delivery pipe 72 can be a corrugated pipe to extend or shorten to meet the different positional requirements of the nozzle 5.
[0089] Furthermore, in some embodiments, please continue to refer to... Figure 1 Additionally, photovoltaic solar panels 8 can be installed on top of frame 1.
[0090] The photovoltaic solar panels 8 can be installed on the crossbeams of the frame 1, for example, arranged around the edges of the four crossbeams.
[0091] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic solar panel 8 can be mounted on the louver 21. Alternatively, in some embodiments, please refer to [further details omitted]. Figure 1 The photovoltaic solar panel 8 can be installed in the blank position of the connecting rod 4323. The photovoltaic solar panel 8 can provide power to the moving mechanism 4.
[0092] Furthermore, to achieve intelligent cleaning, in some embodiments a control system (not shown in the figure) may be provided. The control system includes a controller and sensor 9.
[0093] For example, sensor 9 includes a high-precision dust sensor, a raindrop sensor, a camera for detecting foreign objects in the louver gaps, an ambient temperature and humidity sensor, and a contact sensor. The controller can control the operation of the moving mechanism based on the detection data from each sensor.
[0094] For example, contact sensors are located at the first brush head 31 and the second brush head 32. When the contact sensors detect that the first brush head 31 or the second brush head 32 contacts the cover 2, the controller can control the first linear moving member 41 to stop moving. Furthermore, the controller can also control the movement of the third linear moving member 43 to automatically clean using the brush heads.
[0095] For example, when the high-precision dust sensor detects that the amount of dust on the surface of the cover 2 has reached a set amount, it sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the moving mechanism 4 to work.
[0096] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
