Solar Panel Cleaning machine
Track-Mounted Photovoltaic Cleaning Robot
Installation Steps
Track Installation: Install the specialized track above the photovoltaic panel arrays, ensuring the track is parallel to allow smooth robot movement.
Robot Placement: Position the robot on the track, connect it to the power supply and control system for initial testing.
Debugging and Testing: Use the control software to set cleaning paths and frequency, conduct trial runs to ensure normal operation without abnormal vibrations or off-track movements.
Common Issues & Solutions
Track Installation Errors: Errors may accumulate beyond 5 mm or neighboring component errors over 1 mm, affecting robot accuracy.
Solution: Use a total station or RTK with positioning strings to strictly control installation precision, ensuring track linearity and flatness.
Zinc Coating Damage: Track material may suffer zinc layer damage due to impacts during installation, affecting corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
Solution: Use a wood block or rubber hammer to cushion impacts during installation; recoat damaged areas with anti-corrosion and zinc paint when done.
Unstable Track Fixing: Inadequately fixed tracks may lead to loosening or detachment during operation.
Solution: Ensure the fastening torque of fixtures meets standards, with regular inspections and reinforcements if necessary.
Crawler Photovoltaic Cleaning Robot
Installation Steps
Robot Placement: Place the robot at one end of the photovoltaic panel, ensuring smooth startup and commencement of cleaning operations.
Connect Power & Control Systems: Link the robot to the power supply and connect via wireless or wired control systems.
Set Cleaning Parameters: Use control software to set cleaning paths, frequency, and methods (such as waterless cleaning).
Common Issues & Solutions
Small Critical Tilt Angle: The robot may become unbalanced on steep-angled photovoltaic panels.
Solution: Design a vacuum suction system to enable the robot to freely traverse surfaces between 0° to 90° without tipping.
Large Size Requiring Mechanical Fixation: The robot’s large size demands additional mechanical fixtures, complicating installation and maintenance.
Solution: Optimize robot design to reduce size and enhance intelligence, minimizing reliance on mechanical fixtures.
Low Intelligence Level: Lack of intelligent control can lead to inefficient path planning and suboptimal cleaning.
Solution: Employ multi-sensor fusion technology for better path planning and obstacle detection, increasing intelligence levels.
Insufficient Obstacle-Crossing Capability: The robot may struggle with height differences or gaps between panels.
Solution: Design flexible rubber dual-track structures, enabling the robot to cross height differences up to 30 mm and gaps of 100 mm, ensuring uninterrupted cleaning.
Subpar Cleaning Results: Ineffective brush design or cleaning methods could result in poor cleaning performance.
Solution: Use spiral-wound brush rollers to improve efficiency, optimizing design using CFD simulation for best results.
Concentrated Force on Photovoltaic Panels: Excessive force on certain areas during cleaning may cause deformation or damage.
Solution: Design robots with central load-bearing elements to minimize direct force on panel edges; use aluminum alloy frames to mitigate direct pressure on panels.
Abschluss
