Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic module cleaning robot, including a connecting frame 1, a clamping seat 2, a cleaning roller 3, and a motor 4. The clamping seat 2 is fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting frame 1. The inner wall of the clamping seat 2 is provided with a rotating wheel 5 rotatably connected. The center of the connecting frame 1 is provided with a telescopic part 6. The surface of the telescopic part 6 is provided with a threaded locking bolt 7. The lower surface of the connecting frame 1 is provided with parallel distributed cleaning rollers 3. The two ends of the cleaning rollers 3 are rotatably connected to the clamping seat 2. The motor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the clamping seat 2. The output end of the motor 4 is connected to the cleaning rollers 3. The surface of the connecting frame 1 is also fixedly connected with a spray pipe 8. The surface of the spray pipe 8 is fixedly connected with uniformly distributed nozzles 9.

[0020] In a further improvement, the rotating wheel 5 includes at least three, and the side wall of the rotating wheel 5 is provided with a V-shaped groove 10. The axis of the rotating wheel 5 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 11. By providing a V-shaped groove 10 on the surface of the rotating wheel 5, it is convenient to clamp the edge of the photovoltaic panel and facilitate walking on the surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0021] In a further improvement, the rotating shaft 11 passes through the clamping seat 2 and is rotatably connected to the clamping seat 2. An umbrella-shaped toothed disk 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 11. By providing an umbrella-shaped toothed disk 12 at the end of the rotating shaft 11, it is convenient to change the transmission direction and improve the stability of the transmission.

[0022] In a further improvement, the cleaning roller 3 is provided with connecting sleeves 13 at both ends. The cleaning roller 3 is inserted into the connecting sleeves 13, and the connecting sleeves 13 are rotatably connected to the clamping seat 2. By providing connecting sleeves 13 at both ends of the cleaning roller 3, it is convenient to replace the cleaning roller 3, and at the same time, the cleaning roller 3 can be driven to rotate, which is convenient for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic module.

[0024] In operation, the connecting frame 1 is placed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and the photovoltaic panel is clamped by the clamping seats 2 at both ends, so that the edge of the photovoltaic panel is embedded in the V-shaped groove 10 on the surface of the rotating wheel 5. The locking bolt 7 is tightened, and the water pump is connected to the spray pipe 8 with a hose. After power is turned on, the water pump sprays the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel through the nozzle 9. The motor 4 drives the connecting sleeve 13 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning roller 3 to perform a brushing motion on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. While the connecting sleeve 13 is rotating, the rotating wheel 5 is driven to rotate slowly through the bevel gear 14 and the umbrella-shaped gear disk 12, so that the cleaning robot can slowly walk along the surface of the photovoltaic panel, which is convenient for automatic cleaning of large-scale photovoltaic panel surfaces.

[0025] This invention addresses the problem of low efficiency and high workload for manual cleaning in large-scale photovoltaic power generation sites due to the interconnectedness and large size of the photovoltaic panels. The invention proposes a photovoltaic module cleaning robot. The robot comprises a connecting frame 1, a clamping base 2, a cleaning roller 3, and a motor 4. This allows the robot to be easily clamped onto the photovoltaic panel surface, enabling it to automatically clean and move, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning photovoltaic panel surfaces in large-scale photovoltaic power generation sites and effectively reducing the workload of workers cleaning the photovoltaic panels.
