6. A transfer robot of photovoltaic cleaning robot, characterized by comprising:
the position positioning module is used for acquiring the relative position of the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot when the photovoltaic cleaning robot is at the edge position of a photovoltaic panel;
the visual positioning module is used for carrying out visual positioning on the photovoltaic cleaning robot when the relative position of the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot is within a grabbing range so as to obtain the grabbing point position on the photovoltaic cleaning robot;
the grabbing judgment module is used for judging whether the manipulator grabs the grabbing point on the photovoltaic cleaning robot or not based on grabbing identification sensing signals when the manipulator of the carrying robot approaches the grabbing point position;
and the grabbing and carrying module is used for executing grabbing actions when the manipulator grabs the grabbing point on the photovoltaic cleaning robot so as to carry the photovoltaic cleaning robot to an adjacent photovoltaic panel.
7. A transfer robot of a photovoltaic cleaning robot as claimed in claim 6, wherein the position locating module comprises:
the controller is used for adjusting the relative position between the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot after the photovoltaic cleaning robot stops running on the photovoltaic panel when the photovoltaic cleaning robot is at the edge position of the photovoltaic panel;
and the distance measuring unit is connected with the controller and used for acquiring the relative position between the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot so as to enable the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot to be in a grabbing range.
8. A transfer robot of a photovoltaic washing robot as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the visual positioning module comprises:
and the visual camera is used for acquiring image data of the carrying robot and the photovoltaic cleaning robot in a grabbing range, and performing image analysis and coordinate conversion based on the image data so as to acquire the grabbing point position on the photovoltaic cleaning robot.
9. The transfer robot of a photovoltaic cleaning robot according to claim 8, wherein the grasp judgment module includes:
the proximity sensor is arranged on one side of the manipulator, which faces to the grabbing point, and is used for judging whether the manipulator approaches to the grabbing point or not through the proximity sensing signal in the process that the manipulator of the carrying robot approaches to the grabbing point;
and the proximity signal processor is connected with the proximity sensor and used for judging that the manipulator is close to the grabbing point when the proximity sensing signal is smaller than a preset proximity signal threshold value.
10. The transfer robot of a photovoltaic washing robot according to any one of claims 6 to 9, wherein the grasping transfer module further comprises:
the pressure sensor is arranged at the holding position on the manipulator and used for judging whether the manipulator grabs the grabbing point on the photovoltaic cleaning robot or not according to the pressure sensing signal when the manipulator of the carrying robot is close to the grabbing point position;
and the pressure signal processor is connected with the pressure sensor and used for judging that the manipulator grabs the grabbing point on the photovoltaic cleaning robot when the pressure sensing signal exceeds a preset pressure signal threshold value.
