[0023] A drive shaft 14 is rotatably mounted inside the upward-sloping end of the frame 7. An adjusting motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the upward-sloping end of the frame 7, and the output shaft of the adjusting motor 15 movably passes through one side of the frame 7 and is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 14. Two drive bevel gears 16 are fixedly mounted inside the frame 7 and on the outer side of the drive shaft 14. Both drive bevel gears 16 are meshed with transmission bevel gears 17 on their outer sides. An adjusting screw 18 is fixedly mounted on one side of the transmission bevel gear 17, and the end of the adjusting screw 18 away from the transmission bevel gear 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 7. The adjusting screw 18 is close to the transmission bevel gear 17. A positioning seat 19 is rotatably installed on the outer side of one end of the frame 7, and the positioning seat 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 7.

The drive bevel gears 16 drive the transmission bevel gear 17 to rotate, and the transmission bevel gear 17 drives the adjusting screw 18 to rotate. The adjusting screw 18 drives the threaded sleeve 20 to move. The threaded sleeve 20 drives the positioning slider 25 to slide inside the positioning groove 26, ensuring better stability of the threaded sleeve 20 during movement. Simultaneously, the threaded sleeve 20... The moving connecting bearing 21 moves, driving the cleaning roller brush 22 to move on the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2. Simultaneously, the cleaning roller brush 22 drives the movable gear 23 to move on the top of the positioning rack 24. The movable gear 23 rotates as it moves, causing the cleaning roller brush 22 to rotate while moving. At the same time, the water inlet valve 11 is opened, allowing water to flow into the water pipe 10. Water is then sprayed onto the upward-sloping end of the photovoltaic panel body 2 through the tilting nozzle 13. The cleaning roller brush 22 rotates as it moves, working in conjunction with the sprayed water flow to clean the surface of the photovoltaic panel body 2. Wastewater generated during cleaning is discharged through the strip drain outlet 8. This allows the photovoltaic panel to achieve a self-cleaning effect during use, improving cleaning efficiency and facilitating better practicality.
