[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A cleaning device for solar photovoltaic panels includes a frame 1, wherein the frame 1 is provided with:

[0034] Transport components for transporting products into rack 1;

[0035] Two horizontal drive components, each with two right-angle clamping components installed at its drive end, for driving the corresponding right-angle clamping components to adjust forward, backward, left, and right to clamp the four corners of the product;

[0036] The right-angle clamping assembly is equipped with a cleaning component for cleaning the bottom of the four corners of the product.

[0037] When in use, the device uses a transport component to feed the product into the frame 1. The horizontal drive component then moves the right-angle clamping component to position it in the plane. Once the positioning is complete, the right-angle clamping component clamps and fixes the four corners of the product. After clamping, the cleaning component automatically cleans the four corners of the product, reducing manual intervention and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the transport assembly includes a feed inlet 6 on one side of the frame 1, a discharge outlet 7 on the other side of the frame 1, and several first supports 8 on the frame 1. Each of the first supports 8 is equipped with a conveyor belt transport device 9. Through the feed inlet 6, the product can be placed on the conveyor belt transport device 9 of the first support 8 and transported into the frame 1 by the conveyor belt transport device 9. The four corners are then clamped by a right-angle clamping component to facilitate the cleaning component cleaning the four corners of the product. After cleaning, the product can be transported out of the frame 1 through the discharge outlet 7 by the conveyor belt transport device 9.

[0039] Furthermore, the horizontal drive assembly includes a first electric slide rail 2 mounted on the frame 1, a first mounting bracket 4 mounted on the drive end of the first electric slide rail 2, and two second electric slide rails 3 mounted on the first mounting bracket 4. The drive ends of the two second electric slide rails 3 are connected to the bottom of the right-angle clamping assembly. The right-angle clamping assembly includes a cleaning box body 12 slidably mounted on the second electric slide rails 3 and a placement part 14 mounted on one side of the cleaning box body 12. The first electric slide rail can drive the first mounting bracket 4 to move left and right, and the second electric slide rails 3 mounted on the second mounting bracket can drive the cleaning box body 12 to move back and forth. This allows control of the cleaning box body 12 and the corners of the clamped product.

[0040] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning tank 13 located within the cleaning box body 12. The cleaning tank 13 contains several cleaning nozzles 15, and each of the cleaning nozzles 15 has a delivery pipe 16 connected to one side for connecting to an external water source. The placement part 14 is connected to the cleaning tank 13 and is L-shaped to facilitate placement of the product's right-angled edges. During use, when the cleaning box body 12 holds the product's corners, the product's corners are positioned on the placement part 14. The product's corners are connected to the cleaning tank 13 via the connection point between the placement part 14 and the cleaning tank 13, and the corners of the product seal the connection point between the placement part 14 and the cleaning tank 13. Thus, through the provided output pipe, an external water pump (not shown in the figure) can be connected to pump water from the cleaning nozzles 15 to clean the colloid at the bottom of the product's corners.

[0041] Several vacuum suction cups are installed on one side of the cleaning body, which are used to adsorb the bottom of the product after the edge of the product is placed in the placement part 14, thereby increasing the stability during cleaning.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the cleaning box body 12 is provided with several water outlet holes 19. Two filter boxes 20 are installed at the bottom of the first mounting frame 4, each located below its corresponding cleaning box body 12, for filtering colloids contained in the rinsing water. A water storage box 21 is also provided at the bottom of the first mounting frame 4. The water storage box 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and is located below the two filter boxes 20, for storing the water filtered by the filter boxes 20. A drain is provided below the water storage box 21. Water pipe 22, a water storage tank 23 is provided on one side of the frame 1, and the drain pipe 22 is connected to the water storage tank 23. Through a number of water outlet holes 19, the cleaned water can flow out from the water outlet holes 19 and flow into the filter box 20. After the colloid is filtered by the filter box 20, it flows into the water storage box 21 for storage. Through the drain pipe 22, the water in the water storage box 21 can be drained into the water storage tank 23. The drain pipe 22 is made of corrugated pipe, so that the drain pipe 22 will not be damaged due to stretching when moving.

[0043] Furthermore, two third electric slide rails 11 are mounted on the top of the frame 1. The drive ends of each third electric slide rail 11 are connected to a second mounting bracket 10. Two fourth electric slide rails 26 are mounted on the bottom of the second mounting brackets 10. Two second brackets 25 are mounted on the drive ends of each fourth electric slide rail 26. A lifting drive device 18 is mounted on each of the two second brackets 25. A pressure plate 5 is mounted on the drive ends of each of the two lifting drive devices 18. The system connects the third electric slide rails 11, the fourth electric slide rails 26, and the lifting drive devices. The lifting drive device 18 can adjust the pressing plate 5 in all directions and in height to press it onto the top of the four corners of the product. The lifting drive device 18 is an electric slide rail. The second mounting bracket 10 can be moved left and right by the third electric slide rail 11. The second bracket 25 can be moved by the fourth electric slide rail 26 on the second mounting bracket 10 to adjust the pressing plate 5 to the top of the product corners. Then, the lifting drive device 18 drives the pressing plate 5 to descend and press the top of the product corners to prevent the product from shifting during cleaning.

[0044] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 17 is provided on the top of the placement part 14 to prevent water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 15 from flowing out. With the sealing gasket 17, when the pressing plate 5 presses the corners of the product, the bottom of the product is pressed against the sealing gasket 17, which restricts the water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 15 to the cleaning tank 13 and prevents water from flowing out.

[0045] Furthermore, a protective pad 24 is provided at the bottom of the pressing plate 5, and both the pressing plate 5 and the protective pad 24 are rectangular. The protective pad 24 can prevent damage to the product during pressing. The protective pad 24 is made of rubber. Since both the pressing plate 5 and the protective pad 24 are rectangular, they fit against the edges and corners of the product during pressing. The rubber protective pad 24 can fill the gap between the edges and corners of the product and the placement part 14, increasing the sealing and preventing water leakage.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
