[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an airborne foldable high-pressure cleaning device for photovoltaic panels. The airborne foldable high-pressure cleaning device for photovoltaic panels includes a drone 1, on which an onboard controller and an onboard power supply are installed for powering electrical components. The device is characterized in that: a water tank 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone 1, and a connecting plate is installed at the top of the water tank. The connecting plate is fixed to a bracket at the bottom of the drone by bolts. A high-pressure pump 3 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 2. The inlet of the high-pressure pump 3 is connected to the water tank 2, and the outlet of the high-pressure pump 3 is connected to a main water pipe 4, which connects to multiple... A branch water pipe 5 is connected to a water outlet hose 6 at one end, and a cleaning nozzle 7 is installed at the other end of the water outlet hose 6. An automatic folding assembly 8 is mounted on the tripod of the UAV 1, and the cleaning nozzle 7 is mounted on the automatic folding assembly 8. An electrically controlled valve 9 is installed on the branch water pipe 5. The high-pressure pump 3, the cleaning nozzle 7, and the electrically controlled valve 9 are connected to an onboard controller, which is wirelessly connected to a ground control terminal 10. The ground control terminal allows for setting cleaning parameters and monitoring the cleaning process, such as water pressure, water flow rate, flight speed, and cleaning altitude, facilitating the UAV's cleaning operations. Each cleaning nozzle is independently connected to a water outlet hose and an electrically controlled valve, and the cleaning nozzles are adjustable in spray angle and spray mode, facilitating nozzle control and improving cleaning effectiveness. After cleaning, staff can check the cleaning results; any problems can be analyzed and addressed promptly, which also helps optimize the subsequent cleaning process and improve cleaning efficiency. The high-pressure cleaning device mounted on a drone is used to clean the photovoltaic panels, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency. It is equipped with a high-pressure pump and cleaning nozzle to increase the cleaning water pressure and improve the cleaning effect of various stains on the surface of the photovoltaic panels, so as to better enable power generation. The foldable tube can be folded and stored when not cleaning, which enhances its practicality.

[0021] The automatic folding assembly 8 includes a fixed tube 801, a folding tube 802, a first sleeve 803, a second sleeve 804, and a motor 805. The fixed tube 801 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the drone's footrest, and the first sleeve 803 is installed at both ends of the fixed tube 801. The second sleeve 804 is installed at one end of the folding tube 802. The first sleeve 803 and the second sleeve 804 are hinged together. The motor 805 is mounted on the first sleeve 803, and the output shaft of the motor 805 is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 804. That is, the output shaft of the motor 805 is connected to the second sleeve 804 through a gearbox. The motor 805 is electrically connected to the airborne controller. During cleaning, the drone flies to the photovoltaic panel cleaning area, and the staff controls the motor through the airborne controller at the ground control end, so that it drives the second sleeve to rotate through the output shaft, thereby causing the folding tube to rotate and be in the unfolded state to clean the photovoltaic panel. After cleaning, it is restored to the folded state for storage, which facilitates the drone's flight and cleaning work.

[0022] The fixed tube 801 and the folded tube 802 are provided with multiple through holes, and the cleaning nozzle 7 is installed on the through holes; this facilitates fixing the cleaning nozzle to work on the photovoltaic panel.

The water volume data is monitored to ensure that the water output is within the normal range.

[0024] The drone 1 is also equipped with a distance sensor at its bottom, which is electrically connected to the onboard controller. The distance sensor can be a laser or ultrasonic distance sensor, which can measure the distance to the photovoltaic panel, so as to adjust the drone's flight altitude and make the cleaning nozzle a suitable distance from the photovoltaic panel, avoiding being too far or too close, and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0025] The drone 1 tripod is equipped with a fixing sleeve 11 for fixing the fixing pipe 801; this facilitates the fixing of the fixing pipe.

[0026] The water tank 2 has an inlet 201 on one side, and an inlet cover 202 is installed on the inlet 201; this facilitates adding water and makes it easy to add water to the water tank.

[0027] Work process:

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The airborne cleaning device of the drone 1 is sent to the photovoltaic panel area. The staff at the ground control terminal 10 controls the motor 805 through the airborne controller, which drives the second sleeve 804 to rotate through the output shaft, thereby causing the folded tube 802 to rotate and be in the unfolded state to clean the photovoltaic panel. The high-pressure pump 3 can increase the water pressure. The pressurized water is used to clean the photovoltaic panel through the cleaning nozzle 7. During the cleaning process, the pressure sensor and flow sensor can monitor the cleaning water pressure and flow rate respectively. The distance sensor can measure the distance between the cleaning device and the photovoltaic panel, so as to adjust the flight altitude of the drone to make the cleaning nozzle 7 at a suitable distance from the photovoltaic panel, avoiding being too far or too close, and ensuring the cleaning effect.
