Abstract :
Automatic systems are widely integrated at dangerous application fields under unsafe environment for safety reason or to change the monotonous human work by robotic systems. Modern standards are rising higher for modern equipment so the maintenance of such equipment must be at the same level. In this paper the ultrasonic cleaning system for sloping surfaces is proposed. Current system is self turning and rain-triggered and can be perfectly used for solar panels or roof windows cleaning. The ultrasonic wave imparts directly on a film of fluid no more than a few millimeters thick on the surface. The proposed system has low power consumption and does not require any maintenance itself. The prototype of proposed system is developed in our laboratory.
