Description

Photovoltaic module belt cleaning device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of photovoltaic module cleaning equipment, in particular to a photovoltaic module cleaning device.
Background
With the requirement of environmental protection and the improvement of sustainable energy demand, the proportion of clean energy in total energy is increased year by year, and the cleaning demand of the photovoltaic module is gradually increased.
Photovoltaic array cleaning has two reasons: firstly, dirt can cause heat conduction difference on the surface of a photovoltaic panel, and finally 'hot spots' are caused to damage a photovoltaic module; secondly, the fouling causes the surface transmittance of the photovoltaic panel to be reduced, thereby affecting the photo-thermal conversion rate of the photovoltaic panel assembly array, namely reducing the power generation efficiency. Therefore, in order to ensure that the generating efficiency is not reduced and avoid the damage of the photovoltaic module, the cleaning of the photovoltaic panel is necessary.
In the prior art, semi-automatic cleaning is generally adopted, and mainly comprises a ground cleaning vehicle and an on-board cleaning machine. The chassis of the ground cleaning vehicle is the same as that of a small excavator, the structure of the mechanical arm is similar to that of an arm of the excavator, and the two tracks drive the ground cleaning vehicle to move forward; the cleaning is completed by a rolling brush at the tail end of the mechanical arm, and water can be sprayed in the cleaning process. For floor-washing vehicles, the following disadvantages are present: (1) the driving speed is slow; 2) the cleaning operation is complex, the requirement on operators is high, the condition that the cleaning rolling brush is in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel needs to be concerned while the photovoltaic panel is driven among the arrays, the distance between the cleaning vehicle and the photovoltaic assembly needs to be kept unchanged, otherwise, the cleaning brush head cannot cover the whole height of the photovoltaic panel surface, and the cleaning surface is omitted; (3) the requirement on the road surface is high, when the road surface has a hollow section, particularly when the height difference exists between the tracks on the two sides and the corresponding ground, the vehicle body rolls laterally, and at the moment, the angle deviation occurs between the rolling brush which is originally parallel to the mirror surface and the photovoltaic panel; (4) the ground cleaning vehicle is provided with a cab, cleaning tasks are carried out by manual driving, people with excavator driving experience are needed, moreover, the chassis is driven by an internal combustion engine, manual oiling is needed, the water consumption of a cleaning mode is large, the capacity of a water tank is limited, manual water adding is needed for multiple times in the cleaning process, the speed of the chassis is low, the reciprocating water adding time is long, and the cleaning efficiency is reduced again.
In addition, for the on-board cleaning robot commonly used in the prior art, the on-board cleaning robot is provided with structures such as a translation drive, a power supply and a cleaning rolling brush, directly moves on the photovoltaic board and simultaneously cleans the photovoltaic board, and can be used for dry cleaning; if after extra connecting guide rail transformation has been done between photovoltaic board cluster and the cluster, the board cleaning machine can realize that the board changes the board and washs between the cluster. However, the on-board cleaning robot has several disadvantages: (1) the on-board cleaning robot can only work on a single string of boards, the string-crossing cleaning can be carried out only after the transformation work of additional track connection is carried out between strings, and even if the string-crossing cleaning robot does not complete the line-crossing operation, each line of photovoltaic boards is provided with at least one cleaning robot; (2) if the terrain does not allow all connections between strings (the terrain undulation in a single row is large, the climbing requirement is high), the single row of photovoltaic panels needs more than one panel cleaning machine; (3) cleaning machines people need take the battery or take the panel certainly, and the automobile body is heavier, and climbing ability and whole speed of traveling are all not high, therefore the cleaning efficiency of single robot is lower, and is higher to the topography requirement of arranging the photovoltaic board array. Therefore, in order to achieve a full-coverage cleaning range of a photovoltaic array, the number of on-board cleaning robots to be put into the photovoltaic array is large, and the data is directly proportional to the power generation capacity of a photovoltaic electric field, so that the cost of a large number of fixed cleaning equipment is put into the photovoltaic array, and the workload of daily maintenance of a large number of on-board cleaning robots is also large. In addition, the failure rate of batch equipment rises, and once a failed machine cannot be transferred in time, a single photovoltaic panel is burnt by the hot spot effect, and a fire disaster happens to the whole array in serious cases.
Therefore, how to improve the plate replacement efficiency of the photovoltaic module cleaning device and improve the cruising ability of the cleaning device is a technical problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field at present.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, the connection member may be a flexible rope, and the carrier may be provided with an electric reel that can receive and release the flexible rope, but it is needless to say that the gripping manner between the carrier and the on-board cleaning machine may be implemented by a folding hinge connection, a spring 11 connection, or the like, and the carrier and the on-board cleaning machine may be a detachable connection in addition to the non-detachable connection.
Specifically, the releasable connection means that after the on-board cleaning machine completes the board replacement operation, the carrier can be released from the on-board cleaning machine, and the mechanical connection relationship is not maintained, and examples of the manner of such grasping include: adsorbing by an electromagnet; grabbing or clamping by a manipulator and the like; the on-board cleaning machine needs to add two adsorbable points or two handles which can be grabbed or clamped, and the detachable scheme cannot be matched with the subsequent 'increase of cruising ability' and 'increase of cleaning mode', so that the on-board cleaning machine is not further limited in the embodiment;
the non-releasable connection means that the mechanical connection between the carrier and the on-board cleaning machine remains unchanged after the board changing operation is completed. Examples of such a capture mode are: rope connection, folding hinge connection or spring connection, etc.; after considering the implementation effect comprehensively, the embodiment preferably adopts the rope connection.
Examples are illustrated below: the rope anchor points 10 at the two ends of the plate cleaning vehicle are fixed by flexible ropes, the other ends of the rope anchor points are fixed on a tool of the carrier, and meanwhile, an electric winding drum is installed on the tool of the carrier and can wind and unwind the flexible ropes, so that the purpose of lifting and lowering the cleaning machine on the plate is achieved.
After the cleaning machine on the board falls on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, because of the influence of integral adjustment errors, the upper edge of the cleaning machine on the board cannot be ensured to be parallel to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel, only one locating stop 7 is in contact with the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel at the moment, and the force of the cleaning machine on the whole board sliding down along the surface of the photovoltaic panel is borne by the locating stop 7. At the moment, the weight of the on-board cleaning machine is completely born by the photovoltaic panel, a rope above the on-board cleaning machine becomes loose, the on-board cleaning machine loses the restraint effect, the upper edge of the on-board cleaning machine is not parallel to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel, the on-board cleaning machine deviating from the gravity center line can be automatically straightened on the principle of being similar to a pendulum, the movement of the on-board cleaning machine is completed by the support of the universal wheel set 8, the upper edge of the on-board cleaning machine on the final board is parallel to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel, the two in-position stop blocks 7 are tightly attached to the upper edge of the photovoltaic panel, the in-position detection sensors 12 on the in-position stop blocks 7 feed back in-position signals, the mechanism consisting of the electromagnets 9 and the springs 11 lifts the in-position stop blocks 7, the weight of the on-board cleaning machine is born by the side guide wheels 6, and thus the in.
Further, the cleaning device may also add endurance to the on-board cleaning machine, for example, a battery may be mounted on the mover that may power the roller brush 2 as well as the drive components.
Particularly, the mover is also provided with a controller and a battery for supplying power to the on-board cleaning machine, and the battery is preferably a rechargeable battery;
the controller is also used for judging whether the electric quantity of the battery is lower than the warning electric quantity, if so, the mover is controlled to move to the target supply position, and the charging pile is controlled to be started to charge the battery; the controller is also used for judging whether the battery is fully charged, and if so, controlling the mover to return to the initial position.
Specifically, after the controller controls the moving device to move to the target supply position, the controller communicates with the charging pile to confirm that the position is in place, and drives a charging contact of the battery to be in contact with the charging pile to start charging.
According to the arrangement, the mover has the automatic supply capacity, can realize the operation cycle, and can perform the periodical and unmanned work of cleaning the photovoltaic panel.
Meanwhile, a battery electric quantity monitoring part for detecting the electric quantity of the battery is further installed on the battery, and the battery electric quantity monitoring part can send a detection result to the controller. After the battery is fully charged, the battery electric quantity monitoring part can feed back a signal to the upper controller, the upper controller sends a disconnection command, the driving wheel still returns to a working position under the help of the navigation positioning part, and the battery electric quantity monitoring part can also send a signal to the controller when detecting that the electric quantity is lower than the warning electric quantity.
More specifically, enhanced cruising ability is associated with a mechanical connection that does not allow the carrier and the on-board cleaning machine to be disengaged during a board change. The common on-board cleaning machine operates independently, namely, is provided with a power supply or a solar panel. However, the battery weight, the load capacity of the on-board cleaning machine or the power generation efficiency of the solar panel are limited, the cruising ability of the common on-board cleaning machine is poor, and when the requirement of large-area cleaning is met, the cleaning scheme of the common on-board cleaning machine can only be realized by increasing the number of devices, so that the cost investment of the cleaning devices is greatly increased, and a series of burdens are added to the photovoltaic operation and maintenance work. The belt cleaning device that this embodiment provided, owing to realized trading the board function, consequently, requirement to duration further promotes, original battery scheme or solar panel scheme from taking can not satisfy the requirement far away, even battery capacity or solar panel area have been increased, it also needs increase battery power to increase the solar panel area promptly, the complete machine dead weight of cleaning machine further increases on the board, a power for overcoming weight consumption also increases, the cleaning machine dead weight increases simultaneously and can give photovoltaic face and photovoltaic support increase burden on the board, also can lead to the motion performance of self to reduce, for example functioning speed, climbing ability etc.. Therefore, in the embodiment, the flexible connection between the conveyor and the on-board cleaning agent is utilized, the conveyor and the on-board cleaning agent are connected through the flexible rope, the flexible connection is a fixed mechanical connection relationship, the power supply of the on-board cleaning machine can be led out through the flexible rope, the on-board cleaning machine is supplied with power through external equipment, not only is the self weight of the on-board cleaning machine reduced, but also the capacity of an external power supply battery is not limited by the bearing capacity of the photovoltaic panel, and the cruising capacity of the on-board cleaning machine is inevitably improved remarkably under the condition of double management.
Specifically, as the plate replacing of the on-board cleaning machine needs the assistance of the mover and the carrier, the power supply battery of the on-board cleaning machine can be placed on the mover and even can be integrated with the power supply battery of the mover. Power supply and communication cables of the on-board cleaning machine can be connected to the on-board cleaning machine from the mover through equipment such as a mechanical arm and a tool on the carrier, and the like, similar to a flexible rope for placing the board.
On the other hand, the cleaning device can also be provided with a water tank which can supply water to the on-board cleaning machine on the mover. Simultaneously, install the shower nozzle of spout orientation photovoltaic board on the cleaning machine on the board, the water tank is connected with the shower nozzle.

3. Hybrid cleaning
The mixed cleaning mode refers to the combination of the dry cleaning, the high-pressure air cleaning and the water cleaning of the roller brush 2 in pairs or the combination of the three. The specific mode is as follows:
a. air washing and roller brush 2
High-pressure air washing is used as a conventional cleaning mode, and the roller brush 2 is used as a method for specially cleaning stubborn stains; the brush bristles with high rigidity, namely the hard brush bristles, can be selected, after high-pressure air washing, the cleaning machine on the plate finds the existence of stubborn stains through a mirror surface detection means, the cleaning machine on the plate can be commanded by an upper controller to stay near the stubborn stains, the roller brush 2 is started, and the stubborn stains are removed at fixed points; the cleaning mode is suitable for the conditions of water resource shortage or winter, single stain type, no oil stain and the like.
b. Air washing and water washing
This approach has been used in the automotive cleaning industry, and is known as micro-water cleaning; atomized water particles are carried by high-pressure gas to simulate a storm form, firstly, wind is used for conveying water to strike the mirror surface of the photovoltaic panel, the water particles are spread after impacting the mirror surface at a certain speed, the spreading process of water drops is a dust adsorption process, and then, the subsequent airflow blows away tiny mud points wrapped with dust and moisture, so that the aim of cleaning is fulfilled; the mode replaces the impact action of high-pressure water with air flow, utilizes a small amount of water to dissolve and wrap dust and stains, achieves micro-water cleaning, reduces water resource consumption and simultaneously ensures the cleaning effect.
c. Water washing and dry brush
