Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of greenhouse roof cleaning technology, and in particular to a self-propelled greenhouse roof cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A greenhouse is an artificially constructed, enclosed or semi-enclosed structure with a light-transmitting covering. It is primarily used to regulate the internal environment, providing suitable conditions for plant growth. It enables off-season planting and the protection of endangered plants. Common types include glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses, widely used in agriculture and other fields. The need for roof cleaning equipment arises because the greenhouse roof, as the main light-transmitting surface, is constantly exposed to the outdoors, easily accumulating dust, bird droppings, and other pollutants. These pollutants reduce light transmittance, affecting plant photosynthesis and growth, leading to decreased yield and quality. Furthermore, manual cleaning is inefficient and risky, failing to meet the needs of large-scale intelligent greenhouses. Pollutants can also corrode roof materials, shortening their lifespan. Cleaning equipment, on the other hand, provides efficient cleaning, can be integrated with intelligent systems for automated operation, ensuring light transmittance, improving planting efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. It is particularly important in large-scale, intelligent greenhouses.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN216225616U" mentions "a glass roof cleaning device, which relates to a cleaning device. It includes a frame covered with felt, a connecting block connected to the right side of the frame, a connecting rod connected to the connecting block, a square block at the front end of the connecting rod, wedge-shaped blocks on both sides of the square block, the wedge-shaped blocks being fixed to the square block by spring rods, a cavity inside the square block, a limiting rod on the right side of the cavity, and the top surface of the wedge-shaped blocks contacting the limiting rod, a first vertical rod connected to the right end of the connecting rod, a second vertical rod sleeved on the first vertical rod, and a handle at the top of the second vertical rod." The novel design involves fixing a connecting block to a frame, then using the cavity structure and limiting rod within the connecting block to engage a connecting rod with a wedge-shaped front end. The connecting rod can be removed by pressing the limiting rod. This structure is ingeniously designed, easy to use, and allows for quick assembly and disassembly.

[0004] However, currently, cleaning greenhouse roofs often requires manual labor, which involves climbing onto the roof and is inherently dangerous. Furthermore, manual cleaning is insufficient in strength and efficiency. Moreover, existing glass cleaning devices are poorly adapted to greenhouse roofs with varying inclinations, have unstable foundations, and lack flexible angle adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to precisely change the tilt angle of the cleaning components. This results in poor adhesion between the cleaning components and the roof surface, affecting the cleaning effect.

[0005] Therefore, we provide a self-propelled greenhouse roof cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a self-propelled greenhouse roof cleaning device, including a base 1, a rubber aluminum wheel 2 is provided below the base 1, a cleaning component 9 is provided on the inner side of the base 1, the cleaning component 9 includes a rotating frame 901 rotatably connected to the inner side of the base 1, an extension frame 902 is welded to the right end of the rotating frame 901, an angle adjustment component 10 is provided on the surface of the extension frame 902, the angle adjustment component 10 includes a fixing block 1001 fixedly connected to the surface of the extension frame 902, and an angle rotation block 1002 is provided at the upper end of the fixing block 1001.

[0032] Furthermore, a winding reel 3 is provided above the base 1, and a connecting shaft passes through the inner side of the winding reel 3. A drive device 4 is provided on the left side of the winding reel 3, and a control box 5 is provided on the left side of the drive device 4. The winding reel 3 is connected to the control box 5 through the connecting shaft. There are two sets of winding reels 3. The control box 5 is used to receive instructions from the operator through a remote communication tool. Then the drive device 4 is started, and the winding reel 3 is driven to rotate through the connecting shaft. When the equipment is moving and working, the winding reel 3 releases or retracts the cable and water pipe as needed to ensure the reasonable arrangement of the cable and water pipe and avoid tangling or dragging.

[0033] Furthermore, a connecting rod 6 is fixed to the lower end of the control box 5, and a connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 6. A platform 8 is welded to the inner side of the connecting frame 7. The connecting rod 6 is used to support and fix the overall frame. The connecting frame 7 provides stable support for the platform 8 through the welding structure, so that the platform 8 remains stable and provides a reliable bearing foundation for the relevant operations during equipment operation.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotating frame 901 and the extension frame 902 are welded together. A large cleaning brush 903 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating frame 901. There are two sets of large cleaning brushes 903, and the large cleaning brushes 903 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the platform 8. When the rotating frame 901 rotates, it drives the two sets of large cleaning brushes 903 to rotate synchronously. They can fit according to the angle of the greenhouse roof surface. Because they are symmetrical about the central axis of the platform 8, they can symmetrically and evenly wipe the roof surface to remove dirt during the movement of the equipment.

[0035] Furthermore, a belt 904 is sleeved on one end of the large cleaning brush 903. A wheel 905 is provided on the inner side of the belt 904. A drive motor 906 is connected to one side of the wheel 905 with a key. A protective cover 907 is provided on the outer side of the wheel 905. A gutter brush 908 is provided on one side of the extension frame 902. When the drive motor 906 starts, it drives the wheel 905 to rotate. The wheel 905 is driven by the belt 904, which causes the large cleaning brush 903 to rotate to clean the roof. The protective cover 907 prevents external debris from interfering with the operation of the wheel 905 and the belt 904. At the same time, the gutter brush 908 moves with the equipment to clean the gutter synchronously.

[0036] Furthermore, the fixing block 1001 and the extension frame 902 are welded together, and the fixing block 1001 and the angle rotating block 1002 are rotatably connected. The angle rotating block 1002 is composed of two sets of movable hinges. According to the tilt angle of the greenhouse roof, the angle rotating block 1002 is rotated and adjusted through the two sets of movable hinges to change the tilt angle of the cleaning component 9 so that it fits better with the roof surface.

[0037] Furthermore, an adjusting cylinder 1003 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the upper end of the angle rotating block 1002, and a spring return telescopic rod 1004 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the extension frame 902 through a fixed connecting strip. The adjusting cylinder 1003 extends and retracts, pushing the angle rotating block 1002 to rotate relative to the fixed block 1001, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the cleaning component 9. During the adjustment process, the spring return telescopic rod 1004 extends and retracts accordingly. When the adjusting cylinder 1003 stops operating, the spring return telescopic rod 1004 returns to its original position by the spring force, assisting in supporting the angle rotating block 1002 and maintaining the adjusted angle.

[0038] Working principle: When in use, after the equipment is started by a remote command, the control box 5 drives the reel 3 to simultaneously release the cable and water pipe. The rubber aluminum wheel 2 drives the whole machine to move forward at a constant speed. The symmetrically arranged large cleaning brushes 903 rotate at high speed under the drive of the drive motor 906 and belt 904 system to wipe away the dirt on the roof. The gutter brushes 908 on one side of the large cleaning brushes 903 clean the gutter at the same time. When it is necessary to clean the greenhouse roof surface at different inclination angles, the adjustment cylinder 1003 of the tilt adjustment component 10 pushes the angle rotating block 1002 to rotate in real time, so that the brush always fits the changing slope. The spring return telescopic rod 1004 provides reverse support to prevent swaying. When it reaches the end of the roof, the reel 3 reverses to retract the pipeline, the adjustment cylinder 1003 retracts, the large cleaning brushes 903 stop rotating, the equipment completes the reset and returns, thus completing the use process of a self-propelled greenhouse roof cleaning equipment.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
