Mobilní dokovací stanice čistícího robota solárních panelů

Abstract

This bachelor thesis deals with the mechanical design of a mobile docking station for a solar panel cleaning robot. The introductory research section analyzes commercially available solutions and evaluates suitable mechanical components. Based on these findings, the overall spatial layout of the station is developed. The core of the thesis consists of the detailed design and dimensioning of the drive and travel mechanisms, including the selection of standardized components (electric motor, gearbox, travel wheels, and an independent power source). The operational safety and rigidity of the proposed system are verified through a comprehensive strength analysis. The welded supporting frame is analyzed using the Finite Element Method (FEM), while an analytical static calculation is performed for the main drive shaft. The output of the thesis is a 3D model of a functional, stable, and autonomous device, supported by engineering calculations and supplemented with the necessary manufacturing drawings.
