Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of splicing bracket technology, and in particular to a splicing bracket for a photovoltaic cleaning robot. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic panels are now widely used, but since they are installed outdoors, wind and sun exposure can easily affect their performance, leading to the development of photovoltaic cleaning solutions. Currently, there are specialized photovoltaic cleaning robots that make cleaning photovoltaic panels very convenient, but with the increasing applications, the demand is substantial.
[0003] The existing cleaning robot mainly consists of a walking motor, a brush motor, a brush, and a control system. When working, the device is placed on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Driven by the walking wheels, the robot runs along the metal frame of the panel. The brush motor drives the brush to roll and remove dust from the surface of the photovoltaic panel. It features no need for manual intervention, good cleaning effect, and high cost-effectiveness.
[0004] To adapt to different seasons and lighting conditions, the tilt angle of photovoltaic panels needs to be adjusted, which also requires the angle of the mounting bracket to be adjusted accordingly. However, the existing mounting brackets are customized based on specific bracket design angles and ground clearance. It is not convenient to flexibly adjust the mounting bracket angle on site for different situations, which may make it difficult to optimize the operating environment of the photovoltaic cleaning robot in a timely manner according to actual needs, thus affecting its cleaning efficiency and effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a mounting bracket for photovoltaic cleaning robots to address the problem that may prevent timely optimization of the operating environment of photovoltaic cleaning robots according to actual needs, thereby affecting their cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A mounting bracket for a photovoltaic cleaning robot includes a roof, with bases symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the roof, and rotating seats fixedly connected to the top of each of the two bases. A column is rotatably connected to the top of each rotating seat, and the two columns are arranged at different heights. An inclined beam is rotatably connected to the top of each column. A positioning mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the top of the base, and an adjustment mechanism is arranged on the top of each column.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, two bases are symmetrically fixed on the top of the roof, and then a rotating seat is fixedly connected to the top of each base. The bottom of the column is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating seat, and then the inclined beam is rotatably connected to the top of the two columns respectively. During the installation process, the angle of the inclined beam is adjusted to match the layout and angle of the photovoltaic panels on site. The angle and height of the inclined beam can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, and the rotating seat can be positioned by the positioning mechanism, which facilitates the installation by the staff.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic rod slidably connected to the top of the column, the top of the telescopic rod being hinged to the inclined beam, and a plurality of threaded rods equidistantly provided on the outer side of the telescopic rod. A bolt is slidably connected to the outer side of the column, and one end of the bolt penetrates the column and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the telescopic design of the telescopic rod and its hinged connection with the inclined beam, when the photovoltaic panels need to be tilted according to different seasons, the staff can achieve precise adjustment of the inclined beam angle by operating the telescopic rod.
[0011] Furthermore, a rotating seat 2 is installed on the outer side of one of the columns and the inclined beam, and a telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner side of one of the rotating seats 2. A telescopic rod 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the telescopic cylinder. One end of the telescopic rod 2 is hinged to the rotating seat 2. Several threaded grooves 2 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer side of the telescopic rod 2. A bolt 2 is slidably connected to the outer side of the telescopic cylinder. One end of the bolt 2 passes through the telescopic cylinder and is threadedly connected to the threaded grooves 2.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the coordinated work of rotating seat two, telescopic cylinder and telescopic rod two, a stable triangular structure is formed between the inclined beam and the column.
[0013] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a locking frame symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the locking frame, and a moving plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring. The moving plate is slidably connected to the locking frame. Through holes are symmetrically opened on the outer side of the rotating seat. A pressing block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving plate. The top of the pressing block is set as an inclined surface, and the pressing block is slidably connected to the through holes.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the extrusion block moves to the position of the through hole, the elastic potential energy of the extrusion block is released, causing the extrusion block to move to the inside of the through hole, thereby pre-fixing the position of the rotating seat.
[0015] Furthermore, a drive rod is fixedly connected to the side of the moving plate away from the pressing block. One end of the drive rod passes through the locking frame and is fixedly connected to a drive handle. The drive rod is slidably connected to the locking frame.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, pulling the drive handle drives the drive rod to move, the drive rod moves the moving plate, and the moving plate moves the extrusion block away from the through hole.
[0017] Furthermore, the inner side of the locking frame is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and the outer side of the moving plate is symmetrically fixedly connected with sliders. The sliders are adapted to the sliding grooves and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving plate can maintain the correct motion trajectory when moving.
[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;
[0020] 1. In this application, when the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panel needs to be adjusted according to different seasons, the staff can achieve precise adjustment of the angle of the inclined beam by operating the telescopic rod, ensuring that the photovoltaic cleaning robot is always at the appropriate working angle, thereby improving the cleaning effect and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.
[0021] 2. In this application, when the extrusion block moves to the position of the through hole, the elastic potential energy of the spring is released, causing the extrusion block to move to the inside of the through hole, thereby pre-fixing the position of the rotating seat. No additional complex tools are needed for positioning, saving installation time and labor costs, and making the installation process more efficient and faster. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0028] This application discloses an assembly bracket for a photovoltaic cleaning robot.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A mounting bracket for a photovoltaic cleaning robot includes a roof 1, with bases 2 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the roof 1. Rotating seats 3 are fixedly connected to the top of each of the two bases 2. Columns 4 are rotatably connected to the top of the rotating seats 3. The two columns 4 are arranged at different heights. Inclined beams 5 are rotatably connected to the top of the columns 4. Positioning mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the top of the bases 2, and adjustment mechanisms are arranged on the top of the columns 4.
[0030] When installing the overlapping bracket, first fix the two bases 2 symmetrically on the top of the roof 1, then fix the rotating seat 3 on the top of each base 2, and rotate the bottom of the column 4 to the top of the rotating seat 3. Then rotate the inclined beam 5 to the top of the two columns 4 respectively. During the installation process, adjust the angle of the inclined beam 5 to match the layout and angle of the photovoltaic panels on site, so as to ensure that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can clean the photovoltaic panels smoothly when running on the inclined beam 5. The angle and height of the inclined beam 5 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, and the rotating seat 3 can be positioned by the positioning mechanism, which is convenient for the staff to install.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic rod 14 slidably connected to the top of the column 4. The top of the telescopic rod 14 is hinged to the inclined beam 5. Several threaded rods are equally spaced on the outer side of the telescopic rod 14. A bolt 16 is slidably connected to the outer side of the column 4. One end of the bolt 16 passes through the column 4 and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 15.
[0032] One of the columns 4 and the outer side of the inclined beam 5 is equipped with a rotating seat 2 17. The inner side of the rotating seat 2 17 is rotatably connected to a telescopic cylinder 18. The inner side of the telescopic cylinder 18 is slidably connected to a telescopic rod 2 19. One end of the telescopic rod 2 19 is hinged to the rotating seat 2 17. Several threaded grooves 20 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer side of the telescopic rod 2 19. The outer side of the telescopic cylinder 18 is slidably connected to a bolt 21. One end of the bolt 21 passes through the telescopic cylinder 18 and is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 20.
[0033] When adjusting the height and angle of the inclined beam 5, the telescopic rod 14 and its hinged design with the inclined beam 5 allow the operator to precisely adjust the angle of the inclined beam 5 by operating the telescopic rod 14 when the photovoltaic panel needs to be tilted according to different seasons. This ensures that the photovoltaic cleaning robot is always at the appropriate working angle, improving the cleaning effect and the photovoltaic panel's power generation efficiency. After the height and angle are adjusted by sliding the telescopic rod 14 on the inside of the column 4, the height of the telescopic rod is fixed by the threaded groove 15 and the bolt 16.
[0034] Through the coordinated work of rotating seat 2 17, telescopic cylinder 18 and telescopic rod 2 19, a stable triangular structure is formed between the inclined beam 5 and the column 4, which enhances the stability of the connection between the column 4 and the inclined beam 5, ensures the stability of the overlapping support, and reduces the risk of robot malfunction.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positioning mechanism includes a locking frame 6 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the base 2. A spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the locking frame 6, and a moving plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spring 7. The moving plate 8 is slidably connected to the locking frame 6. A through hole 9 is symmetrically opened on the outer side of the rotating seat 3. A pressing block 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving plate 8. The top of the pressing block 10 is set as an inclined surface, and the pressing block 10 is slidably connected to the through hole 9.
[0036] Among them, the side of the movable plate 8 away from the pressing block 10 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 12. One end of the drive rod 12 passes through the locking frame 6 and is fixedly connected to the drive handle 13. The drive rod 12 is slidably connected to the locking frame 6.
[0037] In addition, the inner side of the locking frame 6 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 11, and the outer side of the movable plate 8 is symmetrically fixedly connected with sliders. The sliders are adapted to the sliding grooves 11 and are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 11.
[0038] When installing the rotating seat 3, first place the rotating seat 3 between the two locking frames 6. At this time, the rotating seat 3 will abut against the pressing block 10. The top of the pressing block 10 is set as an inclined surface. Under the sliding action of the inclined surface, the pressing block 10 moves. The movement of the pressing block 10 drives the moving plate 8 to move. The movement of the moving plate 8 drives the spring 7 to compress, which generates elastic potential energy. When the pressing block 10 moves to the position of the through hole 9, the elastic potential energy of the pressing block 10 is released, causing the pressing block 10 to move to the inside of the through hole 9, thereby pre-fixing the position of the rotating seat 3. No additional complicated tools are needed for positioning, saving installation time and labor costs, and making the installation process more efficient and faster.
[0039] When the rotating seat 3 is removed by the drive, the drive handle 13 is pulled first to move the drive rod 12. The movement of the drive rod 12 moves the moving plate 8. The movement of the moving plate 8 moves the pressing block 10 away from the through hole 9, thereby releasing the limitation on the rotating seat 3.
[0040] When the movable plate 8 moves, the slider and the groove 11 provide guidance for the movable plate 8, so that the movable plate 8 can maintain the correct motion trajectory when moving.
[0041] Working principle: Two bases 2 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the roof 1. Then, a rotating seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of each base 2. The bottom of the column 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating seat 3. Then, the inclined beam 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the two columns 4 respectively. During the installation process, the angle of the inclined beam 5 is adjusted to match the layout and angle of the photovoltaic panels on site, ensuring that the photovoltaic cleaning robot can smoothly clean the photovoltaic panels when running on the inclined beam 5. Through the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 14 and the hinge design with the inclined beam 5, the tilt angle of the inclined beam 5 can be flexibly changed. The angle of the inclined beam 5 can be precisely adjusted by operating the telescopic rod 14, ensuring that the photovoltaic cleaning robot is always at a suitable working angle.
