  • Patent number: 11652441
    Abstract: A photovoltaic cleaning device and a windproof device thereof are provided according to the present application. The windproof device of the photovoltaic cleaning device includes a locking bracket, a locking arm, and a drive device configured to drive the locking arm to move relative to the locking bracket. The locking arm has a locking position of extending into a restricting position of the locking bracket, and a cleaning working position of exiting the restricting position of the locking bracket. During the mounting of the photovoltaic cleaning device, one of the locking arm and the locking bracket is mounted to the cleaning module, and the other is mounted to the supporting frame of the photovoltaic module.

  • Patent number: 11456696
    Abstract: A photovoltaic-module cleaning robot, an obstacle-surmounting method and device thereof are provided according to the present application. If the photovoltaic-module cleaning robot gets stuck during obstacle-surmounting, a lower end motor of the photovoltaic-module cleaning robot is controlled to operate reversely, so that the lower driving wheels thereof rotate reversely; an upper end motor of thereof is controlled to stop operating, so that the upper driving wheels thereof have no drive; and then, the photovoltaic-module cleaning robot is gradually restored to a horizontal state, and if it is determined that the photovoltaic-module cleaning robot meets a forward moving condition, the upper end motor and the lower end motor of the photovoltaic-module cleaning robot are controlled to simultaneously rotate forward to realize moving forward, thereby solving the problem of easily getting stuck at a drop height between adjacent modules.

  • Publication number: 20200186080
    Abstract: A robot for cleaning a photovoltaic panel and a method for controlling the robot. The robot is driven by a motor to travel along a left boarder and a right boarder of the photovoltaic panel, and the robot is provided with a first control unit and a distance sensor. The distance sensor is installed on a sidewall of the robot, faces a sidewall of the photovoltaic panel, and is configured to measure a distance between the distance sensor and the sidewall of the photovoltaic panel. The sidewalls are left sidewalls or right sidewalls. The first control unit is configured to determine that a measurement for the distance that is fed back by the distance sensor exceeds a first preset range, and determine that the robot deviates. Thereby, it is detected in real time whether the robot deviates, facilitating timely correcting deviation.
