Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic cell module technology, and in particular to an automatically rotating photovoltaic cleaning robot device. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy, as a long-lasting and inexhaustible green energy source, is converted into electricity for human use. For various solar photovoltaic power generation systems currently on the market, photovoltaic modules are one of the most crucial components. Photovoltaic power stations are installed outdoors, and due to the influence of the natural environment, dust and debris accumulate on the surface of the photovoltaic modules. If not cleaned promptly, the modules are easily damaged, contaminated, or corroded. Therefore, regular cleaning of the photovoltaic modules is necessary. Ordinary unidirectional photovoltaic cleaning robots have poor adaptability to photovoltaic arrays; in practical applications, specific sizes need to be designed based on the dimensions of individual photovoltaic arrays and the length of the roof. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatically rotating photovoltaic cleaning robot device.

[0004] An automatic rotating photovoltaic cleaning robot device includes a cleaning robot parking space, characterized in that: The cleaning robot is equipped with sensor switch components at both ends of the parking space. Dedicated tracks are installed on both sides of the row of photovoltaic cell modules. Sensor components are installed at even intervals on the dedicated tracks. A turning track is provided between one side of two dedicated tracks. After the cleaning robot moves to the turning track, it rotates its wheels to turn and moves to the next photovoltaic array for cleaning.

[0005] Furthermore, in order to better realize this utility model, the sensing component includes several sensing blocks. During operation, the cleaning robot adjusts its running position in a timely manner according to the signals emitted by the sensing blocks at both ends, so that the cleaning robot always remains perpendicular to the component, reducing the error of the upper and lower rollers, and keeping the upper and lower rollers parallel and moving forward steadily.

[0006] Furthermore, in order to better realize this utility model, the cleaning robot parking space is equipped with corresponding sensor blocks, so that the cleaning robot can accurately park in the robot parking space.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to better realize this utility model, the automatic rotating photovoltaic cleaning robot equipment is equipped with a controller, and the number of consecutive cycles is set in the controller to reduce the number of robots installed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cleaning robot and reducing the operation and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic power station.

[0008] Furthermore, to better realize this utility model, fixed-point sensing components are installed at the four corners of the frame of the cleaning robot, and fixed-point sensing components are also installed on the baffle of the cleaning robot parking space. When the cleaning robot walks to the tail throat and touches the sensing switch, the robot's rotating wheel moves. When it senses the sensing block of the turning track, the cleaning robot's rotating wheel turns, and the cleaning robot enters the cleaning robot parking space of the next photovoltaic array along the turning track. After adjusting its direction, it continues to clean the next row of photovoltaic arrays. The number of times the cycle is cleaned is set in the control system.

[0009] Furthermore, to better realize this utility model, the cleaning robot is equipped with rotatable rollers. According to the running direction of the cleaning equipment, a roller with a fixed rotation angle is selected, and the turning angle is a multiple of 90°. When the cleaning robot runs to the parking space, the touch sensor switch receives a signal from the turning track, and the rotatable rollers rotate to move to the next photovoltaic array. Otherwise, the cleaning robot stops at the parking space.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to better realize this utility model, the special track is made of high-strength hot-dip galvanized material, and special protrusions are set inside the track to be tightly combined with the rotating wheel, so that the cleaning robot is more stable during operation and walks more smoothly.

[0011] Furthermore, to better realize this utility model, the turning track is equipped with an induction switch assembly at the connection point with the cleaning robot's parking space. Several induction blocks that cooperate with the induction switch assembly are arranged at intervals on both sides of the turning track. The signal sensed by the induction switch assembly is sent to the control system. The control system determines whether the cleaning robot needs to rotate its rollers or whether it needs to clean the next photovoltaic array based on the received induction signal. When no turning track signal is sensed, the cleaning robot stops in the parking space. In addition, the induction switch assembly and induction blocks will not interfere with the movement of the cleaning robot, ensuring the accuracy of the cleaning robot when switching between arrays.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Cleaning robots can be used on multiple photovoltaic arrays, which improves the utilization rate of cleaning robots and reduces the total investment cost of photovoltaic operation and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0016] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Figures 1-3 This is a specific embodiment of the present invention, which is an automatically rotating photovoltaic cleaning robot device, including a fixed-point sensing component, a rotatable roller, a cleaning brush, a special track, and a turning track.

[0018] Induction switch components are installed at both ends of the cleaning robot's parking space. Dedicated tracks are installed on both sides of the row of photovoltaic modules, with induction components evenly spaced along the tracks. Several sensor blocks are set up, and the cleaning robot adjusts its position in real time based on signals from the sensor blocks at both ends during operation. This ensures the cleaning robot remains perpendicular to the modules, reducing errors in the upper and lower rollers and allowing for steady, parallel movement. Corresponding sensor blocks are installed at the cleaning robot parking station, enabling the robot to precisely stop within its parking space. After a certain interval, the rotating wheels turn the robot to move to the next photovoltaic array for cleaning. The controller is set to perform a continuous cycle of a certain number of times to reduce the number of robots required, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cleaning robots and reducing the operation and maintenance costs of the photovoltaic power station.

[0019] Fixed-point sensing components are installed at the four corners of the robot frame and on the robot docking station baffle. When the robot walks to the opposite docking position, it touches the sensor switch, and the robot's rotating wheels move. When it senses the turning track sensor block, the robot's rotating wheels turn, and the robot moves along the turning track into the next photovoltaic array's parking space. After adjusting its direction, it continues to clean the next row of photovoltaic arrays. The number of cleaning cycles is set in the control system.

[0020] The rotatable rollers are selected based on the direction of operation of the cleaning equipment. The turning angle is a multiple of 90°. When the cleaning robot reaches the parking position, the touch sensor switch receives a signal from the turning track, and the rotatable rollers rotate, moving the robot to the next photovoltaic array. Otherwise, the cleaning robot stops at the parking space.

[0021] The sweeping brush uses high-strength, high-density bristles, while the cleaning brush uses soft bristles. This reduces damage to the photovoltaic modules and allows for flexible adjustment based on the robot's direction of movement without compromising cleaning efficiency.

[0022] The cleaning robot's dedicated track is made of high-strength hot-dip galvanized material, with special protrusions inside the track that tightly connect with the rotating wheels, making the cleaning equipment more stable and smoother during operation.

[0023] An induction switch assembly is installed at the connection between the turning track and the parking space of the cleaning equipment. Several induction blocks that cooperate with the induction switch assembly are set at intervals on both sides of the turning track. The signals sensed by the induction switch assembly are sent to the control system. The control system determines whether the cleaning equipment needs to rotate its rollers and whether it needs to clean the next photovoltaic array based on the received induction signals. When no turning track signal is sensed, the cleaning equipment stops in the parking space. In addition, the induction switch assembly and induction blocks will not interfere with the movement of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, ensuring the accuracy of the photovoltaic cleaning robot when switching between arrays.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
