[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0018] Example Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a convenient mountain photovoltaic panel cleaning cart, comprising: The mobile component 100 includes a vehicle body 101, a hub motor 102 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the vehicle body 101, a track 103 adapted to be mounted on the outside of the hub motor 102, and a frame 104 fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle body 101. The frame 104 is snapped into the outside of the hub motor 102 and the track 103. The cleaning assembly 200 includes a cover 201 hinged to the end of the frame 104, a roller brush 202 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cover 201, a nozzle 203 fixedly connected to the end of the cover 201, and a liquid supply pipe 204 fixedly connected to the middle of the cover 201, the end of the liquid supply pipe 204 extending to the side wall of the roller brush 202.
[0019] The mobile component, serving as the basic carrier of the entire cleaning trolley, consists of a vehicle body 101, a hub motor 102, tracks 103, and a frame 104. The vehicle body 101 provides a stable support frame for the trolley. The tracks 103 are tightly fitted to the outside of the hub motor 102, and their surface is designed with anti-slip teeth to enhance grip. The frame 104 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle body 101, employing a semi-enclosed design that precisely engages with the outside of the hub motor 102 and tracks 103, providing protection for the hub motor and tracks and enhancing the structural strength of the vehicle body to a certain extent. The cleaning component 200 is the core part for realizing the photovoltaic panel cleaning function. The cover 201 is mounted on the end of the frame 104 via a hinged structure. This hinged design allows the cover to rotate flexibly, facilitating cleaning operations on the photovoltaic panels at different angles. The roller brush 202 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cover 201 via bearings. Its bristles are made of wear-resistant, highly elastic material, effectively conforming to the surface of the photovoltaic panels for cleaning. The nozzle 203 is fixedly connected to the end of the cover 201, which can evenly spray the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel. The liquid supply pipe 204 is fixed in the middle of the cover 201, and its end extends precisely to the side wall of the roller brush 202 to ensure that the cleaning liquid can be supplied to the cleaning operation area in a timely manner.
[0020] Specifically, a drive motor 205 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover 201, and the output shaft end of the drive motor 205 is connected to the central shaft of the roller brush 202 via a coupling.
[0021] The drive motor 205 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover 201, and its output shaft end is connected to the central shaft of the roller brush 202 through a coupling, which can stably drive the roller brush to rotate at high speed.
[0022] Furthermore, a baffle 206 is hinged to the side wall of the cover 201, and the baffle 206 is located between the roller brush 202 and the vehicle body 101.
[0023] The baffle 206 is hinged to the side wall of the cover 201 and is located between the roller brush 202 and the vehicle body 101. It can effectively block the splashed sewage and impurities during the cleaning process and prevent them from polluting the vehicle body and the surrounding environment.
[0024] Furthermore, the vehicle body 101 is sealed with a connecting rod 105, and a suction cup 106 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 105. The suction cup 106 is located at the center of the bottom of the vehicle body 101.
[0025] The vehicle body 101 is sealed with a connecting rod 105. The connecting rod 105 is made of a high-strength material with good sealing performance to prevent external impurities from entering the vehicle body. The suction cup 106, which is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 105, is located at the center of the bottom of the vehicle body 101. The suction cup is made of rubber and has good adsorption performance to prevent the vehicle from slipping during the cleaning process.
[0026] Preferably, a support plate 111 is slidably installed inside the vehicle body 101, the upper end of the connecting rod 105 is bolted to the center of the support plate 111, and an electric hydraulic rod 107 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the vehicle body 101, with the output shaft end of the electric hydraulic rod 107 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 111.
[0027] Among them, the electric hydraulic rod 107, which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the vehicle body 101, has its output shaft end fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 112. The lifting and lowering of the support plate, connecting rod, and suction cup can be precisely controlled by the extension and retraction of the electric hydraulic rod.
[0028] It should be noted that a cleaning cover 108 is sealed and installed on the bottom side wall of the vehicle body 101. A cleaning cotton 109 is snapped into the inside of the cleaning cover 108. The cleaning cotton 109 is located between the baffle 206 and the suction cup 106.
[0029] The cleaning cover 108, which is sealed and installed on the bottom side wall of the vehicle body 101, has a cleaning cotton 109 inside. The cleaning cotton 109 is located between the baffle 206 and the suction cup 106 and is used to wipe the photovoltaic panel dry after cleaning.
[0030] Preferably, a cleaning pipe 110 is sealed and installed on the top of the vehicle body 101, and the end of the cleaning pipe 110 is connected to the liquid inlet on the side wall of the cleaning cover 108.
[0031] The cleaning pipe 110, which is sealed and installed on the top of the vehicle body 101, has its end precisely connected to the liquid inlet on the side wall of the cleaning cover 108, which can deliver cleaning fluid into the cleaning cover to provide cleaning fluid for the cleaning cotton.
[0032] When cleaning the mountain photovoltaic panels, the hub motor 102 is first started, driving the track 103 to rotate, allowing the cleaning trolley to move smoothly between the photovoltaic panel arrays to the position of the photovoltaic panel to be cleaned. After reaching the designated position, the electro-hydraulic rod 107 is activated, pushing the support plate 112 downward, which in turn causes the connecting rod 105 and suction cup 106 to descend. When the suction cup contacts the surface of the photovoltaic panel, atmospheric pressure is used to adhere to the photovoltaic panel, firmly fixing the trolley to the photovoltaic panel and preventing it from slipping during the cleaning process.
[0033] Next, the valve on the supply pipe 204 is opened, and the cleaning solution is delivered to the nozzle 203 through the supply pipe. The nozzle evenly sprays the cleaning solution onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Simultaneously, the drive motor 205 is started, causing the roller brush 202 to rotate at high speed. The roller brush scrubs the surface of the photovoltaic panel sprayed with cleaning solution, removing dust, dirt, and other impurities. During the roller brush cleaning process, the baffle 206 acts as a barrier to prevent wastewater and impurities from splashing.
[0034] After the washing is complete, the liquid supply valve and drive motor are closed, and the electric hydraulic rod 107 is restarted to lift the suction cup 108, releasing the trolley from the photovoltaic panel. Then, the cleaning trolley moves to the next photovoltaic panel and repeats the above cleaning steps. When all photovoltaic panels have been washed, the trolley moves to a suitable position, and cleaning fluid is supplied to the cleaning hood 108 through the cleaning pipe 110 to moisten the cleaning cotton 109. Then, the trolley moves slowly, and the cleaning cotton wipes the photovoltaic panel dry to ensure that the surface of the photovoltaic panel is dry.
[0035] In summary, the combination of hub motor and track design increases the contact area between the track and the photovoltaic panel surface, reduces the pressure on the photovoltaic panel surface, minimizes damage to the photovoltaic panel, and allows the trolley to easily climb photovoltaic panels with different inclinations, thereby improving the coverage and flexibility of the cleaning operation.
[0036] The combined design of the roller brush and spray nozzle enables a highly efficient cleaning process: first, cleaning fluid is sprayed to soak the dirt, then the high-speed rotating roller brush powerfully scrubs it. This improves the light transmittance of the photovoltaic panels and ensures their power generation efficiency. The design of the electro-hydraulic rod and suction cup allows the trolley to be quickly and stably fixed to the photovoltaic panels without manual fixation, reducing the labor intensity and difficulty of operation for operators. At the same time, the suction cup's adhesion is reliable during fixation, effectively preventing the trolley from slipping during cleaning and ensuring the safety of the cleaning operation.
