[0003] However, current surface cleaners are mostly limited by structural design and the aquatic environment, making them unsuitable for long-term continuous cleaning operations and inconvenient to use. Some existing surface cleaners that generate their own electricity using solar panels can extend the duration of continuous operation, but they suffer from the effects of water flow and unstable solar panel mounting. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a solar-powered water surface cleaner. By installing a solar panel on the water surface cleaner, it achieves the self-generating function of the water surface cleaner. Furthermore, a specific structure is used to encapsulate and fix the solar panel, solving the problem of unstable solar panel fixation. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] The present invention provides a solar-powered water surface cleaner, comprising: a cleaner body, a pressing component, a support component, and a solar panel electrically connected to the cleaner body;

[0006] Both the pressing component and the supporting component are disposed on the top of the cleaner body. The pressing component and the supporting component are detachably connected to form a receiving cavity. The pressing component has an opening that communicates with the receiving cavity. The solar panel is disposed in the receiving cavity with the light-receiving side facing the opening so as to receive external light through the opening.

[0007] The pressing component is rotatably connected to the cleaner body, having a pressing position and a releasing position; the cleaner body is provided with a latching component, when the pressing component rotates to the pressing position, the latching component engages with the pressing component to tightly press the pressing component onto the solar panel; when the pressing component is in the releasing position, the latching component disengages from the pressing component, and the pressing component can rotate freely relative to the cleaner body.

[0008] In one embodiment, the pressing member has at least one pressing portion for tightly pressing the solar panel.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the pressing part includes protrusions, and a plurality of protrusions are disposed on the inner side of the edge of the notch, and the plurality of protrusions are circumferentially spaced along the inner side of the edge of the notch.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, a sealing element is provided in the accommodating cavity, the sealing element surrounding the edge of the solar panel.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the solar-powered water surface cleaner also includes a conductor for guiding the cable;

[0012] The support member has a cable passage opening that connects to the accommodating cavity. The cable conductor has a cable channel. The cable conductor blocks the cable passage opening from the side of the support member away from the solar panel. One end of the cable channel is connected to the cable passage opening, and the other end extends toward the cleaner body to guide the cable to the cleaner body.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, the support member has reinforcing ribs on the side opposite to the solar panel.

[0018] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This utility model discloses a solar-powered water surface cleaner. By placing a solar panel within a cavity formed by a support and a pressing component, the pressing component presses the solar panel onto the support, achieving encapsulation and fixation of the solar panel. During operation, the solar panel is less susceptible to detachment due to water flow impact, exhibiting excellent stability. Furthermore, based on the rotatable connection between the pressing component and the cleaner body, and the detachable connection between the pressing component and the support, the pressing component and support can be separated during use. The pressing component can be rotated to the release position, allowing the operator to remove the solar panel for replacement or repair. After replacement or repair, the pressing component can be rotated back to the pressing position, reconnecting it to the support and securing it tightly with clips, thus re-pressing and fixing the solar panel securely.

Furthermore, as used in various embodiments of the present invention, the terms “comprising,” “having,” and their cognates are intended only to indicate a specific feature, number, step, operation, element, component, or combination of the foregoing, and should not be construed as primarily excluding the presence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations of the foregoing, or the possibility of adding one or more combinations of features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations of the foregoing.

[0029] In various embodiments of this utility model, the expression "or" or "at least one of A and / or B" includes any combination or all combinations of the words listed simultaneously. For example, the expression "A or B" or "at least one of A and / or B" may include A, may include B, or may include both A and B.

[0030] The terms used in the various embodiments of this utility model (such as "first," "second," etc.) may modify various constituent elements in the various embodiments, but do not limit the corresponding constituent elements. For example, the above terms do not limit the order and / or importance of the elements. The above terms are only used for the purpose of distinguishing one element from other elements. For example, a first user device and a second user device refer to different user devices, although both are user devices. For example, without departing from the scope of the various embodiments of this utility model, a first element may be referred to as a second element, and similarly, a second element may be referred to as a first element.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and defined, terms such as "installation," "connection," and "fixation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4An embodiment of this utility model provides a solar-powered water surface cleaner, comprising: a cleaner body 1, a pressing component 2, a support component 3, and a solar panel 5 electrically connected to the cleaner body 1.

[0033] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressing component 2 and the support component 3 are both located on the top of the cleaner body 1. The pressing component 2 and the support component 3 are detachably connected to form a receiving cavity. The pressing component 2 has an opening 21 that connects to the receiving cavity. The solar panel 5 is placed in the receiving cavity with the light-receiving side facing the opening 21 so as to receive external light through the opening 21.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 The pressing member 2 is rotatably connected to the cleaner body 1, thus having a pressing position and a releasing position. Exemplarily, the pressing member 2 can be hinged to the cleaner body 1 via a hinge structure 6, thereby achieving a rotatable connection with the cleaner body 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the pressing position refers to the pressing part 2 being pressed against the solar panel 5 when it is in this position, and the releasing position refers to the pressing part 2 not being pressed against the solar panel 5 when it is in this position.

[0036] The cleaner body 1 is provided with a latching member 11. When the pressing member 2 is rotated to the pressing position, the latching member 11 and the pressing member 2 are latched together so that the pressing member 2 is tightly pressed onto the solar panel 5. When the pressing member 2 is in the release position, the latching member 11 and the pressing member 2 are disengaged, and the pressing member 2 can rotate freely relative to the cleaner body 1.

[0037] Specifically, the latching member 11 can be configured to move relative to the cleaner body 1. For example, the latching member 11 can be rotatably connected to the cleaner body 1 to achieve this relative movement. In use, the operator moves the latching member 11, causing it to move out of the rotation range of the pressing member 2. At this time, the pressing member 2 can rotate to the pressing position. After the pressing member 2 has rotated to its position, the operator moves the latching member 11 again, causing it to engage with the pressing member 2. The latching member 11 and the pressing member 2 achieve synchronous locking of their positions through mutual interlocking. To release the latching member 11 from the pressing member 2, simply apply external force manually to move the latching member 11 and separate it from the pressing member 2.

[0038] Understandably, in this embodiment, by placing the solar panel 5 in the cavity formed by the support member 3 and the pressing member 2, the pressing member 2 presses the solar panel 5 onto the support member 3, thus achieving the encapsulation and fixation of the solar panel 5. During operation, the solar panel 5 is not easily affected by water flow impact and will not fall off, exhibiting good fixation stability. At the same time, based on the rotatable connection between the pressing member 2 and the cleaner body 1, and the detachable connection between the pressing member 2 and the support member 3, the pressing member 2 and the support member 3 can be disassembled and separated during use. The pressing member 2 can be rotated to the release position, allowing the operator to remove the solar panel 5 for replacement or repair. After replacing or repairing the solar panel 5, the pressing member 2 can be rotated back to the pressing position, reconnecting the pressing member 2 and the support member 3, and the pressing member 2 can be tightly snapped into place by the buckle member 11, thereby re-pressing and fixing the solar panel 5 tightly by the pressing member 2, providing good flexibility in use. In addition, the pressing component 2 and the support component 3 are both located on the top of the cleaner body 1, so that the solar panel 5 is as far away from the water surface as possible during actual operation, reducing the risk of water damage. Moreover, the solar panel 5 can receive sufficient light through the notch 21 on the light-receiving side, achieving better power generation effect.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a seal 4 is provided in the receiving cavity, and the seal 4 surrounds the edge of the solar panel 5. Understandably, the seal 4 can fill the receiving cavity, thereby restricting the movement space of the solar panel 5 and improving the fixation stability of the solar panel 5.

[0040] For example, seal 4 includes a sealing ring.

[0041] In an alternative embodiment, the pressing member 2 has at least one pressing portion for tightly pressing the solar panel 5 together.

[0042] For example, please refer to Figure 1 The pressing part includes protrusions 22, and multiple protrusions 22 are all disposed on the inner side of the edge of the notch 21, and the multiple protrusions 22 are circumferentially spaced along the inner side of the edge of the notch 21; the multiple protrusions 22 are all tightly pressed onto the solar panel 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, by adding multiple protrusions 22 to tightly press the solar panel 5, the overall pressing area of ​​the pressing component 2 on the solar panel 5 is increased, thereby further improving the encapsulation strength of the solar panel 5 and further improving the fixing stability of the solar panel 5.

[0044] Preferably, the multiple protrusions 22 are integrally formed with the edge of the notch 21.

[0045] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The solar-powered water surface cleaner also includes a conductor 7 for guiding the cable.

[0046] The support member 3 has a cable passage 31 that connects to the accommodating cavity, through which the cable of the solar panel 5 can extend. The conductor member 7 has a conductor channel 71. The conductor member 7 blocks the cable passage 31 from the side of the support member 3 away from the solar panel 5 to prevent external liquid from entering the accommodating cavity through the cable passage 31. One end of the conductor channel 71 is connected to the cable passage 31, and the other end extends toward the cleaner body 1 to guide the cable to the cleaner body 1. The conductor channel 71 can isolate the cable of the solar panel 5 from external liquid on the one hand, and guide the cable of the solar panel 5 to the cleaner body 1 on the other hand, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the cable and the cleaner body 1.

[0047] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The support member 3 has a reinforcing rib 32 on the side opposite to the solar panel 5. The reinforcing rib 32 improves the strength of the support member 3, provides more stable support for the solar panel 5, and extends the service life of the support member 3.

[0048] For example, the support member 3 is provided with multiple "X"-shaped reinforcing ribs on the side opposite to the solar panel 5.

[0049] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The edge of the support member 3 protrudes outward to form a connecting part 33, which is detachably connected to the pressing member 2.

[0050] For example, a threaded hole may be provided on the connecting part 33. In practical applications, a bolt can be inserted into the threaded hole of the connecting part 33, and after the bolt is inserted into the threaded hole, it is connected to the pressing member 2, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the support member 3 and the pressing member 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the support member 3 and the pressing member 2, it is only necessary to remove the bolt.

[0051] In one alternative embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the cleaner body 1 is equipped with a support column 8. The support column 8 prevents the bottom of the cleaner body 1 from directly contacting the shore or beach surface and getting stranded when operating in shallow water, thus improving the reliability of the equipment during cleaning operations.

[0052] Optionally, the number of support columns 8 can be 1, 2, 3, or more. Preferably, the number of support columns 8 is 4, and they are located at the four corners of the bottom of the cleaner body 1.

[0053] Optionally, the height of the support column 8 can be adapted to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a buffer structure 9 is provided on the outer side wall of the cleaner body 1. The buffer can provide cushioning protection when the cleaner hits an obstacle, disperse the impact force on the cleaner, and prevent damage to the cleaner.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 The buffer structure 9 may include a flexible disc that protrudes outward from the outer side wall of the cleaner body 1.

[0056] In summary, the solar-powered water surface cleaner provided by this utility model achieves encapsulation and fixation of the solar panel 5 by placing the solar panel 5 in a cavity formed by the cooperation of the support member 3 and the pressing member 2. The pressing member 2 presses the solar panel 5 onto the support member 3, making the solar panel 5 less susceptible to detachment due to water flow impact during operation, thus exhibiting good fixation stability. Furthermore, based on the rotatable connection between the pressing member 2 and the cleaner body 1, and the detachable connection between the pressing member 2 and the support member 3, the pressing member 2 and the support member 3 can be disassembled and separated during use. The pressing member 2 can be rotated to the release position, allowing the operator to remove the solar panel 5 for replacement or repair. After replacing or repairing the solar panel 5, the pressing member 2 can be rotated back to the pressing position, reconnecting the pressing member 2 and the support member 3, and tightly locking the pressing member 2 with the buckle 11, thereby re-pressing and fixing the solar panel 5 tightly, providing excellent flexibility in use. In addition, the pressing component 2 and the support component 3 are both located on the top of the cleaner body 1, so that the solar panel 5 is as far away from the water surface as possible during actual operation, reducing the risk of water damage. Moreover, the solar panel 5 can receive sufficient light through the notch 21 on the light-receiving side, achieving better power generation effect.
