Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic clean mobility, and in particular to an auxiliary climbing device and a mobility structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry, a large number of photovoltaic panels will be laid out for power generation in areas with abundant sunshine. To ensure the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panels, existing workers use cleaning robots to clean batches of photovoltaic panels, effectively improving cleaning efficiency. However, most existing cleaning robots use tracked movement, and when the tilt angle of the photovoltaic panels increases, the tracked movement may result in stationary movement or slippage while climbing. To reduce the possibility of the cleaning robot scraping against the photovoltaic panels when slipping, this application provides an auxiliary climbing device and a moving structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] To improve the stability of the cleaning robot's movement and reduce the possibility of the track scraping against the photovoltaic panels, this application provides an auxiliary climbing device and a moving structure.

[0004] On the one hand, the auxiliary climbing device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An auxiliary climbing device includes a mounting frame, a positioning seat mounted on the mounting frame, a control seat mounted on the mounting frame, and several suction cups mounted on the control seat. The control seat has a receiving hole at its center. The positioning seat has a positioning shaft located within the receiving hole. The control seat has an adjustment hole along its length at one end. The receiving hole is located in the middle of the control seat. The positioning seat has an adjustment shaft with one end located within the adjustment hole. The positioning seat has a drive assembly for moving the adjustment shaft within the adjustment hole. The movement of the adjustment shaft causes the control seat to reciprocate about the positioning shaft as its rotation axis.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting frame is used to install the positioning seat and the control seat, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the auxiliary climbing device and the mobile track. The control seat is used to control the suction cup to lift and move down, and to control the suction cup to adsorb and position the photovoltaic panel. The positioning shaft is used to position the control seat. At the same time, the drive component is used to drive the adjustment shaft to move back and forth in the adjustment hole, thereby driving the control seat to swing back and forth along the rotation axis of the positioning seat. The two ends of the control seat in this application swing up and down back and forth, driving the suction cups at both ends of the control seat to alternately adsorb and position the photovoltaic panel for positioning.

[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor mounted on a positioning seat and a mounting seat mounted on the output end of the drive motor, wherein the adjustment shaft is located on the side of the mounting seat facing the adjustment hole and at the end of the mounting seat away from the output end of the drive motor.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is used to drive the mounting base to rotate. The rotation of the mounting base drives the adjustment shaft to rotate around the output shaft of the drive motor as the rotation center, thereby driving the adjustment shaft to reciprocate within the adjustment hole, thereby driving the end of the control seat to move up and down.

[0009] Preferably, the suction cup is provided with an adjusting rod at its top, and the upper end of the adjusting rod is provided with a control shaft. The control seat is provided with a positioning hole along its length for the end of the control shaft to be inserted.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting rod is used to extend the movement path of the suction cup, the control shaft improves the connection stability between the adjusting rod and the control seat, and the positioning hole is used to install the control shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning hole extends along the length of the control seat.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning hole extends along the length of the control seat to expand the movement path of the control shaft, reduce the hard pressure between the adjusting rod and the control seat when the adjusting rod moves, and effectively improve the stability between the adjusting rod and the control seat.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a through hole for the adjustment rod to pass through, and the mounting bracket has a protective sleeve located inside the through hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the through hole is used for the adjustment rod to move up and down, and the protective sleeve protects the connection between the adjustment rod and the mounting bracket, thus extending the service life of the adjustment rod and the mounting bracket.

[0015] Preferably, the width of the inner diameter of the protective sleeve is larger than the width of the adjusting rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the protective sleeve is larger than the width of the adjusting rod, which facilitates the up and down movement of the adjusting rod and avoids interference from the mounting bracket on the movement of the adjusting rod.

[0017] On the other hand, the movable structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0018] A mobile structure includes an auxiliary climbing device as described in any of the preceding claims and movable tracks disposed on both sides of the auxiliary climbing device along its length.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mobile track climbs a slope, the auxiliary climbing device uses alternating moving suction nozzles to adhere to the surface of the photovoltaic panel, which facilitates the movement of the track, effectively reduces the risk of the track slipping when moving, and also reduces the possibility of the track slipping and scraping against the photovoltaic panel.

[0020] In summary, this application effectively improves the stability of track movement, enhances the stability of the photovoltaic panel cleaning robot's movement, reduces the risk of track slippage during movement, and minimizes the occurrence of track slippage causing scratches on the photovoltaic panels; improving the stability of track movement further expands the practical applications of the cleaning equipment and increases its climbing angle.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be further described below. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0028] This application discloses an auxiliary climbing device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The system includes a mounting frame 1, a positioning seat 2 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, a control seat 3 located on the mounting frame 1, and several suction cups 4 mounted on the control seat 3. In this embodiment, the positioning seat 2 is located at the top center of the mounting frame 1, and a space is reserved at the center of the control seat 3 for the positioning seat 2 to pass through. The control seat 3 has a receiving hole 5 that communicates with the aforementioned space, and a positioning shaft 6 is fixed on the positioning seat 2 within the receiving hole 5. To improve the connection stability between the control seat 3 and the positioning seat 2, receiving holes 5 are provided on both sides of the control seat 3 along its length, and positioning shafts 6 are also provided on both sides of the positioning seat 2 along its length corresponding to the receiving holes 5. This application improves the stability between the control seat 3 and the positioning seat 2 by providing two sets of receiving holes 5 and positioning shafts 6. A drive assembly 9 is mounted on the positioning seat 2, and an adjustment shaft 8 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the drive assembly 9. An adjustment hole 7 is provided at the end of the control seat 3 along its length, and the adjustment shaft 8 is located within the adjustment hole 7. The drive assembly 9 is used to drive the adjustment shaft 8 to reciprocate within the adjustment hole 7.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 9 includes a drive motor 91 fixedly mounted on the positioning seat 2 and a mounting seat 92 fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 91. An adjusting shaft 8 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting seat 92 facing the adjusting hole 7. The adjusting shaft 8 and the output shaft of the drive motor 91 are not on the same axis of rotation. The rotation of the drive motor 91 drives the adjusting shaft 8 to rotate around the output shaft of the drive motor 91. When the adjusting shaft 8 rotates, it reciprocates within the adjusting hole 7, causing the end of the control seat 3 to move up or down. Simultaneously, the positioning shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the control seat 3. At this time, the two ends of the control seat 3 move up and down alternately, thereby causing several suction cups 4 on the control seat 3 to alternately adsorb and position the photovoltaic panel.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, four sets of suction cups 4 are provided and located at the corners of the bottom surface of the control base 3. When moving, two sets of suction cups 4 located at the same end of the control base 3 move upward, while the other two sets of suction cups 4 move downward to adsorb and position the photovoltaic panel, preventing the moving track 15 from sliding down; then the upward-moving suction cups 4 move downward, and the downward-moving suction cups 4 move upward, exchanging the positioning suction cups 4. This process is repeated alternately.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3To extend the adjustment path of the suction cup 4, an adjustment rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the suction cup 4, and a control shaft 11 is fixed to the upper end of the adjustment rod 10. A positioning hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the control seat 3 along its length for the end of the control shaft 11 to be inserted. In this embodiment, a notch for positioning the adjustment rod 10 is provided at the bottom of the control seat 3. The control shaft 11 is horizontally positioned. To improve the stability of the adjustment rod 10 on the control seat 3, positioning holes 12 are provided on both sides of the adjustment rod 10 along its length. Two sets of positioning holes 12 are provided, corresponding to two sets of control shaft 11. A fixing sleeve is threaded to the end of the control shaft 11 furthest from the adjustment rod 10, improving the stability of the control rod on the control seat 3. Since the control shaft 11 will experience slight radial displacement when the adjustment rod 10 moves up and down, the positioning hole 12 extends along the length of the control seat 3 to reduce the rigid pressure between the control shaft 11 and the control seat 3, expanding the range of movement of the control shaft 11 and reducing the possibility of damage at the connection between the control shaft 11 and the control seat 3.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 To facilitate adjustment of the suction cup 4's movement path and improve the adaptability of the auxiliary climbing device, the adjusting rod 10 has several adjusting grooves along its length for positioning the end of the control shaft 11. By adjusting the position of the control shaft 11 in different adjusting grooves, the distance between the control seat 3 and the suction cup 4 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, the groove wall of the adjusting groove has an internal thread, and the end of the control shaft 11 has an external thread adapted to the internal thread. The adjusting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the control shaft 11 by the thread. In a specific embodiment, the adjusting rod 10 can also be welded or its end can be directly bent for positioning.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 To facilitate the movement of the adjusting rod 10, a through hole 13 is provided on the top surface of the mounting bracket 1. The adjusting rod 10 passes through the through hole 13 and connects to the control base 3. A protective sleeve 14 is provided around the inner wall of the mounting bracket 1 along the through hole 13. The protective sleeve 14 protects the contact point between the adjusting rod 10 and the mounting bracket 1, reducing the possibility of scratch damage between the adjusting rod 10 and the mounting bracket 1. The inner diameter of the protective sleeve 14 is larger than the width of the adjusting rod 10, facilitating the up-and-down movement of the adjusting rod 10.

[0034] This application also discloses a movable structure, referring to... Figure 4The system includes the aforementioned auxiliary climbing device and movable tracks 15 installed on both sides of the auxiliary climbing device along its length. The outer shell of the movable tracks 15 is fixedly installed to the mounting frame 1. The suction cups 4 at both ends of the control base 3 are also located at both ends of the movable tracks 15 along its length. When the movable tracks 15 climb a slope, the drive motor 91 starts and drives the control base 3 to swing back and forth. By swinging, the suction cups 4 are pressed to adhere or release, improving the stability of the movable tracks 15 and reducing the possibility of the movable tracks 15 slipping during movement.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
