Obstacle crossing mechanism and photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment having same
First Claim
1. An obstacle crossing mechanism in combination with a cleaning rack of a photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment configured to clean a plurality of photovoltaic panel arrays, the cleaning rack comprising:
- at least one brush configured to clean the photovoltaic panel arrays;
a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod and a fourth connecting rod which are detachably connected to form a generally rectangular frame;
a first fixed rod being arranged on the first connecting rod, a second fixed rod and a third fixed rod being arranged between the second connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod, a fourth fixed rod being arranged on the third connecting rod; and
the obstacle crossing mechanism, comprising;
an inclined generally rectangular moving rack; and
a fixed rack which supports and elevates the moving rack above a support surface,wherein the moving rack is used for temporarily supporting the cleaning rack when the cleaning rack moves from a first photovoltaic panel onto the moving rack; and
the fixed rack is located below the moving rack and the moving rack ascends or descends on the fixed rack along a sloped path so that the cleaning rack supported on the moving rack can move to a higher elevation or lower elevation and move off the moving rack in order to clean a second photovoltaic panel that is above or below the first photovoltaic panel.

Abstract
An obstacle crossing mechanism, adapted and arranged on a cleaning rack of a photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment configured to clean photovoltaic panel arrays is disclosed. The cleaning rack includes connecting rods detachably-connected, and fixed rods arranged on respective connecting rods. The obstacle crossing mechanism includes a moving rack and a fixed rack, in which moving rack is used for temporarily stopping photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment; and the fixed rack is located below the moving rack and the moving rack ascends or descends on the fixed rack. A telescopic mechanism is further provided with the obstacle crossing mechanism so that the two mechanisms together facilitates the photovoltaic panel cleaning equipment to travel from a photovoltaic panel array to reach another photovoltaic panel array during cleaning process of photovoltaic panels without requiring any human assistance, thus achieve total automation.
