Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cleaning and relates specifically to a photovoltaic cleaning drone. State of the art
[0002] Photovoltaic module components are a type of power generation device that generates direct current when exposed to sunlight. They consist of thin, solid photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials (such as silicon). They have high photoelectric conversion efficiency and high reliability. Photovoltaic modules require cleaning after extended use.
[0003] The scraper of the existing photovoltaic cleaning drone is fixed. When the angles of the photovoltaic modules to be cleaned are different, it is difficult to completely clean the surface of the photovoltaic modules, and the cleaning effect is poor. At the same time, the nozzle of the existing photovoltaic cleaning drone cannot be adjusted, and the water flow from the nozzle cannot cover the surface of the photovoltaic modules, which impairs the cleaning effect. For this reason, we proposed a photovoltaic cleaning drone. Utility model content

When the angles of the photovoltaic modules to be cleaned are different, the angle of the scraper can be roughly adjusted as needed to prevent the scraper from failing to scrape due to an angle that is too small between the scraper and the surface of the photovoltaic module, thus ensuring the scraping and sweeping effect. 2.

At the same time, the motor drives the rotating rod, thereby rotating the nozzle, so it can adapt to the cleaning requirements of photovoltaic modules at different installation angles in different environments, and the cleaning effect is good.

When the angles of the photovoltaic modules to be cleaned are different, the scraper 55 can be adjusted according to the angles of the photovoltaic modules to be cleaned. The angle of the scraper 55 is adjusted as needed to prevent the scraper 55 from forming a small angle with the surface of the photovoltaic module, which would lead to a situation where scraping cannot be performed. To ensure the scraping effect, a spray structure 4 is provided, and the cleaning liquid in the water tank 2 is pumped by the water pump 41 through the water pipe 43 to the nozzle 47 and sprayed outward to rinse the surface of the photovoltaic module.At the same time, the rotating rod 46 is driven to rotate by the motor 45, and then the nozzle 47 is rotated, so that it can adapt to the cleaning requirements of photovoltaic modules at different installation angles in different environments, and the cleaning effect is good.
[0016] In addition, the water pump 41, the motor 45, and the electric telescopic rod 58 are all electrically connected to the drone body 1 to supply power to the water pump 41, the motor 45, and the electric telescopic rod 58.

[0022] Working principle: When in use, control the cleaning fluid in the water tank 2, the drone body 1 flies over the photovoltaic panel, and the water pump 41 pumps the water through the water pipe 43 and the nozzle 47, spraying it to clean the surface at a rotating angle.
