Innovation Solution
A charging compartment with a charging and stopping rack and a telescopic supporting rack is integrated into the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment, allowing for on-site recharging without dismounting the equipment, using a solar photovoltaic panel to convert sunlight into electrical energy and store it for powering the equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment is removed for recharging, then the battery can be recharged, but the cleaning operation is interrupted and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The charging compartment is separated from the main cleaning equipment, allowing the battery to be recharged independently while the cleaning equipment remains operational. The charging compartment includes a charging rack with photovoltaic panels that can generate electricity separately from the cleaning operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging compartment acts as an intermediary structure that provides battery recharging capability without requiring the main cleaning equipment to be removed or stopped. The telescopic supporting rack serves as a mediator to position the charging compartment appropriately during cleaning operations.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the cleaning equipment is removed from photovoltaic panels for recharging, then the battery can be charged, but the equipment cannot maintain cleaning function simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into independent cleaning equipment and charging compartment modules. This segmentation allows the charging function to be performed separately from the cleaning function, enabling convenient recharging without affecting cleaning operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging compartment is equipped with photovoltaic panels that can autonomously generate electricity for recharging the battery, reducing dependency on external power sources and enabling self-service recharging capabilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the charging compartment is added to the cleaning equipment, then on-site recharging is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging compartment is designed as a multi-functional module that can serve both as a charging station and as a structural support element during cleaning operations. The telescopic supporting rack provides universal applicability for positioning the charging compartment in various configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging compartment can be positioned within or adjacent to the cleaning equipment structure, utilizing available space efficiently. The telescopic supporting rack allows the charging compartment to be nested or positioned in a compact manner when not in use.
