Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaics, specifically a snow removal robot for use on photovoltaic panels. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are power generation devices that generate direct current when exposed to sunlight. Since they are always outdoors, robots used for cleaning and snow removal have emerged in this field to avoid affecting the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels.

[0003] However, existing snow removal robots either have a complex overall structure or their snow removal devices are not designed reasonably. They generally use fan-type or roller brush-type devices, which are fine for use in areas with light snowfall, but their effectiveness is very limited in areas with heavy snowfall and cold climate where snow is prone to freezing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing snow removal robots for photovoltaic panels, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a snow removal robot with more powerful snow removal capabilities for photovoltaic panels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention is implemented through the following technical measures: a snow removal robot for photovoltaic panels, comprising: a frame, wherein a power unit is provided on both sides of the frame, and the power unit is provided with a walking wheel, the frame being able to walk on the photovoltaic frame via the walking wheel; fixed frames are also provided on the left and right sides of the two power units; a bucket is provided between the two fixed frames on the left side, and an auger is provided in front of the bucket, the auger not contacting the ground; a sweeping roller is provided between the two fixed frames on the right side, the auger being driven to rotate by an auger motor, and the sweeping roller being driven to rotate by a sweeping roller motor.

[0006] The snow removal robot of this photovoltaic panel first uses an auger to shred the snow, which can break up thick or icy snow. Then it uses a bucket to shovel the snow, and finally a sweeping roller to sweep it. This design is convenient for use in cold weather.

[0007] Furthermore, one of the fixing frames on the left side consists of a horizontal plate and an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate has an opening facing downwards and one end is fixed to the horizontal plate, and the bucket is fixed at the fixing point. The other end of the arc-shaped plate is fixed to the auger.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the cross plate is also provided with rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, a third fixed frame is provided on the frame between the two fixed frames on the left.

[0010] Furthermore, the auger motor is connected to the auger via four meshing gears, and the sweeping roller motor is connected to the sweeping roller via two meshing gears. The gears connected to the auger motor and the sweeping roller motor are the largest among their respective groups.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of this utility model are: through the cooperation of the auger, bucket and sweeping roller, the snow removal ability is more powerful, which is suitable for snow removal of photovoltaic panels in cold weather.

[0017] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a snow removal robot for photovoltaic panels, including a frame 1. A power unit 2 is fixed on each of the inner and outer sides of the frame 1. A fixed frame 4 is fixed at each of the left and right ends of the power unit 2. The power unit 2 is equipped with a walking wheel 3. The frame 1 can walk on the photovoltaic panel after the walking wheel 3 is rotated by the power motor. The fixed frame 4 on the inner right side is composed of a horizontal plate 10 and an arc plate 11. The arc plate 11 has an opening facing down and its left end is fixed to the horizontal plate 10. A bucket 5 is fixed at the fixed point. The right end of the arc plate 11 is fixed to the auger 6. A sweeping roller 7 is fixed between the two fixed frames 4 on the left side. The auger 6 does not contact the ground and is driven to rotate by the auger motor 8, while the sweeping roller 7 is driven to rotate by the sweeping roller motor 9.

[0020] When in use, the entire machine moves by moving the frame 1, the auger motor 8 drives the auger 6 to rotate, which breaks up the thick snow, and the bucket 5 shovels up most of the snow. Finally, the photovoltaic panels are cleaned by the sweeping roller 7.

[0021] As a preferred structure, a third fixed frame 4 is also provided on the frame between the two fixed frames 4 on the right side. Each fixed frame 4 has a roller 12 fixed at its lower end. The aforementioned auger motor 8 and auger 6 are connected by four meshing gears 13, and the sweeping roller motor 9 and sweeping roller 7 are connected by two meshing gears 13. The gears 13 connected to the auger motor 8 and the sweeping roller motor 9 are the largest among the groups.
