The present invention discloses a trough type solar reflector detection device and a detection method thereof, comprising a first working bracket and a second working bracket, wherein the lower ends of the first working bracket and the second working bracket are respectively provided with a movable guide rail
assembly 1 and a movable guide rail
assembly 2, wherein the upper ends of the first working bracket and the second working bracket are connected with a guide rail 1 through a bracket height adjustment device, wherein the guide rail 1 is connected with a photoelectric
detector stepping device and two
light source stepping devices, wherein the
light source stepping devices are respectively located on both sides of the photoelectric
detector stepping device, wherein a
light source is connected below the light source stepping device, wherein a connecting rod is connected to the photoelectric
detector stepping device, wherein one end of the connecting rod is connected with a spherical photoelectric detector. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has strong environmental adaptability, can adapt to the testing requirements of trough type solar reflectors of different heights, different widths, and different lengths, and has accurate
test data.
