In the case of maintaining each row of operation covering two rows of battery pieces, the center line of the photovoltaic cleaning robot should be maintained to overlap with the gap line in the juxtaposition of the two battery pieces, and the cleaning device should be slightly longer than the juxtaposition length of the two vertically placed battery pieces, so as to ensure the cleaning coverage rate.
As shown in fig. 8, in a situation where the long side of the photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array runs in a parallel straight line, an image taken by the photovoltaic panel shading detection apparatus (i.e., the camera module) is a vertically placed image of the solar cell of the photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array and forms detection data, and the main control system determines, according to the detection data, that the photovoltaic array where the photovoltaic cleaning robot is currently located is vertically placed. According to the surface characteristics of the solar cell, three vertical straight lines and one horizontal straight line can be obviously seen from a vertically placed image of the solar cell photographed right in front of the photovoltaic cleaning robot, as shown in fig. 8, the left vertical straight line is the right metal main grid line 120 in the left solar cell, the middle vertical straight line is a gap 130 between two rows of solar cells, the right vertical straight line is the left metal main grid line 120 in the right solar cell, and the horizontal straight line is the gap 130 between two rows of solar cells. In the case of maintaining two rows of solar cells covered by each row of photovoltaic panel, it is desirable that the image is distributed symmetrically, and the central line of the image is exactly overlapped with the gap 130 between the two rows of solar cells, i.e. the middle straight line in the vertical direction in the extracted straight line set (i.e. the three straight lines 140 in the vertical direction) is overlapped, and meanwhile, the extracted straight line 150 in the horizontal direction is the eliminated straight line after extraction, as shown in fig. 9. Namely, the three straight lines in the vertical direction are extracted, and the current locally expected straight line path can be obtained. When the photovoltaic cleaning robot encounters a seam crossing condition during cleaning operation, the camera cannot shoot a normal and complete solar cell, and a path extracted in a previous state is maintained, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, 111 is a gap between two adjacent photovoltaic panels, and 112 is a frame of the photovoltaic panel, and at this time, the photovoltaic cleaning robot can maintain the path extracted in the previous state to perform linear walking.
Because the gap-crossing distance is short and the intervals between the three straight lines in the vertical direction are the same, the method can be applied to the condition of incomplete extraction according to the characteristic, and the continuity of path planning is ensured, and the method specifically comprises the following steps: under the condition that the extraction of the straight line in the vertical direction on the left side fails, reversely deducing the position where the straight line in the vertical direction on the left side possibly appears according to the matching motion control state of the remaining two straight lines in the vertical direction; under the condition that the extraction of the straight line in the middle vertical direction fails, fitting a middle straight line if the interval between the two remaining straight lines meets the actual interval range; and under the condition that the extraction of the right straight line fails, reversely deducing the position of the right straight line according to the matching motion control state of the remaining two straight lines.
As shown in fig. 6, in a situation where the vehicle travels vertically and linearly with respect to the long side of the photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array, an image taken by the shading detection device (i.e., the camera module) of the photovoltaic panel is a horizontally placed image of a cell of the photovoltaic panel in the photovoltaic array and forms detection data, and the main control system determines, according to the detection data, that the currently placed mode of the photovoltaic array where the photovoltaic cleaning robot is located is horizontally placed. According to the surface characteristics of the battery piece, an image shot right in front of the photovoltaic cleaning robot can obviously see one straight line in the vertical direction and three straight lines in the horizontal direction, wherein: the straight line in the vertical direction is a gap 170 between two rows of solar cells, the straight line in the horizontal direction at the front side is the metal main grid line 160 at the rear side in the solar cell at the front side, the straight line in the horizontal direction at the middle is the metal main grid line 160 at the front side in the solar cell at the rear side, and the straight line in the horizontal direction at the rear side is the gap 170 between two rows of solar cells. In the case of maintaining two rows of solar cells covered by each row of photovoltaic panel cleaning operation, it is desirable that the image is distributed in bilateral symmetry with two rows of solar cells, the center line of the image just overlaps the gap 170 between the two rows of solar cells, i.e. the extracted vertical straight line 180, and the three horizontal straight lines 150 are extracted and eliminated straight lines, as shown in fig. 7. Namely, the straight line 180 in the vertical direction is extracted to obtain the currently locally expected straight line path. When the slit-crossing condition is met in the operation, the camera module cannot shoot a normal and complete solar cell, and the path extracted in the previous state is maintained.
The method for acquiring the linear operation path by the photovoltaic cleaning robot provided by the embodiment of the invention has the following characteristics:
1. because only the high-speed camera module is adopted on the photovoltaic panel shading detection device 300, the photovoltaic panel shading detection device has the characteristics of small volume, high sensing frequency, easiness in installation and the like, the simple structure of the photovoltaic cleaning robot can be ensured, and a faster and more accurate sensing effect can be provided;
2. the photovoltaic panel shading detection device 300 adopts a high-speed camera module and a certain light supplementing mode to be placed right above a relatively closed space, so that the influence of the external environment on the shooting of the camera module is greatly reduced, and the stability of the shooting environment is ensured;
3. the characteristics of the shading image of the photovoltaic panel in front are extracted, and the relative path of the straight line to be tracked for maintaining the straight line operation of the photovoltaic cleaning robot is fitted, so that a certain look-ahead is ensured, and the accuracy of path planning is also ensured.
