Each wiper motor 401 is rotatably connected to the wiper 4 at one end. A front-to-back moving motor 5 is fixed to the left side of each profile frame 103 at its left end. The front-to-back moving motor 5 can drive the front-to-back moving rod 501 to rotate. Each front-to-back moving motor 5 is rotatably connected to the front-to-back moving rod 501 at one end. The top of each front-to-back moving chain 502 is fixedly connected to two moving blocks 606 at one end via a connecting block 503. The connecting block 503 is made of alloy material. The connecting block 503 is not fixed to the front and rear moving chains 502. The front and rear moving chains 502 and the connecting block 503 cooperate to allow the moving block 606 to move back and forth along the front and rear moving rails 607, thereby cleaning any position on the surface of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned, thus ensuring the cleaning effect. Each moving block 606 is internally slidably connected to the front and rear moving rails 607, which are made of alloy material. The front and rear moving rails 607 provide a path for the movement of the moving block 606. The top of each front and rear moving rail 607 is fixedly connected to the frame 1.

Each cleaning block 601 has a cleaning plate 608 fixed at its bottom. The cleaning plate 608 is made of rubber material and is used to scrape off wastewater. Each lifting rod 6 has a hinge block 603 fixed at its top. The hinge block 603 is made of alloy material and is used to position the connecting rod 602. Two hinge blocks 603 are hinged together by the connecting rod 602, which is also made of alloy material. The connecting rod 602 is used to connect the two hinge blocks 603, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning block 601. Before using this device, the operator places the entire device on top of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned. At this time, the controller controls the extension of the lifting rod 6. Due to the action of the connecting rod 602 and the hinge block 603, the stability of the entire device during lifting is ensured, thereby causing the frame 1 to rise. When the top surface of the support plate 703 is parallel to the bottom surface of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned, the controller controls the extension of the adapter rod 7, thereby driving the follower wheel positioning plate 701 to move, so that the follower wheel 702 can be aligned with the battery panel 104 to be cleaned. 4. The support plate 703 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned, ensuring the stability of the entire device. The controller can then detect impurities on the battery panel 104 via the camera 105. If sand or dust is detected on the battery panel 104, the controller activates the wiper motor 401, causing the wipers 4 to rotate and remove the sand and dust. The material of the wipers 4 prevents sand and dust from scraping the battery panel 104. Furthermore, when the camera... When the controller detects that there are impurities on the battery panel 104 that cannot be scraped off, it controls the water pump 204 to work, so that clean water from the water tank 2 is delivered to the outlet pipe 202 through the water supply pipe 201, and then sprayed out through the nozzle 203, thereby spraying clean water onto the battery panel 104 to wet the impurities. At this time, the controller controls the two active motors 3 to work synchronously, thereby driving the active wheel 301 to rotate, thereby moving the entire device to the right, so that the wetted impurities can be removed through the cleaning disc 608. When impurities are scraped off, the controller can control the front and rear moving motor 5 to work based on the required cleaning position detected by the camera 105. This drives the front and rear moving rod 501 to rotate, which in turn drives the sprocket 504 to rotate, which in turn drives the front and rear moving chain 502 to rotate. This allows the connecting block 503 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the moving block 606 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the two cleaning blocks 601 to move back and forth. This allows any position on the battery panel 104 to be cleaned to be cleaned, thus ensuring the accuracy of cleaning and the cleaning effect.

[0019] The working process of this utility model is as follows: Before using this device, the operator places the entire device on top of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned. At this time, the controller controls the extension of the lifting rod 6. Due to the action of the connecting rod 602 and the hinge block 603, the stability of the entire device during lifting is ensured, thereby causing the frame 1 to rise. When the top surface of the support plate 703 is parallel to the bottom surface of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned, the controller controls the extension of the adapter rod 7, thereby driving the follower wheel positioning plate 701 to move, so that the follower wheel 702 can be aligned with the bottom surface of the battery panel 104 to be cleaned. The battery panel 104 to be cleaned is tightly attached, with the top surface of the support plate 703 in close contact with the bottom surface of the battery panel 104, ensuring the stability of the entire device. The controller can then detect impurities on the battery panel 104 via the camera 105. If sand or dust is detected on the battery panel 104, the controller activates the wiper motor 401, causing the wipers 4 to rotate and remove the sand and dust. The material of the wipers 4 prevents sand and dust from scraping the battery panel 104. When the camera 105 detects impurities on the battery panel 104 that cannot be scraped off, the controller controls the water pump 204 to operate, thereby transporting clean water from the water tank 2 to the outlet pipe 202 through the water supply pipe 201, and then spraying it out through the nozzle 203, thus spraying clean water onto the battery panel 104 to wet the impurities. At this time, the controller controls the two active motors 3 to work synchronously, thereby driving the active wheel 301 to rotate, thereby moving the entire device to the right, so that the cleaning disc 608 can clean the impurities. The wetted impurities are scraped off. At this time, the controller can control the front and rear moving motor 5 to work based on the required cleaning position detected by the camera 105, thereby driving the front and rear moving rod 501 to rotate, thereby driving the sprocket 504 to rotate, thereby driving the front and rear moving chain 502 to rotate, so that the connecting block 503 can move back and forth, thereby driving the moving block 606 to move back and forth, thereby driving the two cleaning blocks 601 to move back and forth, so that any position on the battery panel 104 to be cleaned can be cleaned, thereby ensuring the accuracy of cleaning and ensuring the cleaning effect.
