Therefore, the following detailed description and the drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, and should not be regarded as the whole or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present application.
[0020] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the present application provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic module flammability tester, comprising a box body 1, the front end of the box body 1 is provided with a transparent door plate 2, one side of the box body 1 is provided with a burner 3, the other side is provided with a fire extinguisher 4, the inside of the box body 1 is provided with a rotating assembly 5, the rear side of the box body 1 is provided with a smoke exhaust 9, the upper part of the smoke exhaust 9 is provided with a discharge assembly 7, the rotating assembly 5 comprises a top disc 51 rotatably connected to the top of the box body 1, the bottom wall of the bottom of the box body 1 is rotatably connected with a bottom disc 52, the top disc 51 and the bottom disc 52 are provided with a positioning assembly 6, the inside of the bottom disc 52 is provided with a sliding assembly 8.
[0021] The photovoltaic module to be detected is carried to the bottom disc 52, and the sliding assembly 8 can realize labor-saving pushing. The positioning assembly 6 fixes the photovoltaic module, and at the same time, the positioning assembly 6 connects the top disc 51 and the bottom disc 52, which facilitates the operation of the rotating assembly 5 to drive the whole indirect rotation. Cooperating with the burner 3, the outer surface of the photovoltaic module can be uniformly burned, ensuring that each part of the photovoltaic module can be tested for flammability, making the detection result more universal. At the same time, it can realize the all-round fire extinguishing treatment of the outer surface of the photovoltaic module, improve the efficiency of fire extinguishing, and the smoke exhaust 9 cooperates with the discharge assembly 7 to realize the indirect discharge of hot air, improve the aggregation of hot air, and increase the detection speed of flammability test.
[0022] Referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the figure, the outer surface of the top disc 51 is fixedly sleeved with a ratchet wheel 53, the top of the box body 1 is slidably connected with a cross rod 57, one end of the cross rod 57 close to the top disc 51 is provided with a pawl 59, the top end of the box body 1 is provided with a motor 54, the driving end of the motor 54 is fixedly connected with a turntable 55, the outer surface of the turntable 55 is fixedly connected with a push block 56, the edge of the push block 56 close to the turntable 55, the middle part of the cross rod 57 is provided with a strip-shaped slot 58, and the push block 56 is slidably connected in the strip-shaped slot 58.
[0023] The motor 54 drives the rotating disc 55 to rotate, and the push block 56 moves around the center of the rotating disc 55, and the push block 56 drives the cross rod 57 to move linearly, and the cross rod 57 drives the pawl 59 to move towards the outer surface of the ratchet wheel 53, and the pawl 59 drives the ratchet wheel 53 to rotate when the cross rod 57 moves towards the ratchet wheel 53, and the top disc 51 rotates and drives the bottom disc 52 to rotate synchronously under the connection of the vertical rod 62. Since the cross rod 57 moves linearly, the pawl 59 moves back under the pulling of the cross rod 57 after driving the ratchet wheel 53 to rotate by a corresponding angle, and the pawl 59 and the ratchet wheel 53 slide relative to each other, and the top disc 51 and the bottom disc 52 remain stationary, thereby realizing the effect of indirect rotation of the photovoltaic module.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the positioning assembly 6 includes a clamping seat 61 fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the top disc 51 and the bottom disc 52, the clamping seat 61 is internally clamped with a vertical rod 62, the outer surface of the vertical rod 62 is provided with an elastic telescopic rod 63, the end of the elastic telescopic rod 63 is fixedly connected with a positioning block 64, the side of the clamping seat 61 is movably inserted with a pin rod 65, and the pin rod 65 penetrates through the vertical rod 62.
[0025] The two ends of the vertical rod 62 are clamped in the clamping seat 61, the vertical rod 62 is locked by the pin rod 65 after the position is adjusted, the photovoltaic module is clamped and fixed by the elastic telescopic rod 63 and the positioning block 64 on the outer surface of the vertical rod 62, and the vertical rod 62 also has the effect of connecting the top disc 51 and the bottom disc 52.
[0026] Referring to Figures 2 to 6 As shown in the figure, the discharge assembly 7 includes a center rod 71 movably inserted into the upper surface of the flue gas discharger 9, the outer surface of the center rod 71 is fixedly connected with a fan plate 72, the fan plate 72 is located in the flue gas discharger 9, the top end of the center rod 71 is fixedly connected with a disc 73, the outer surface of the disc 73 is fixedly connected with an extension plate 74, the outer surface of the extension plate 74 is provided with a sliding groove 75, the end of the cross rod 57 away from the pawl 59 is provided with a sliding block 76, and the sliding block 76 is slidingly clamped in the sliding groove 75.
[0027] The reciprocating movement of the cross rod 57 driven by the rotating disc 55 also acts on the discharging assembly 7. The slider 76 at the end of the cross rod 57 is slidingly connected in the sliding groove 75. When the cross rod 57 moves towards the top disc 51, the slider 76 slides in the sliding groove 75, thereby pulling the extension plate 74 to rotate the disc 73, which drives the fan plate 72 to deflect under the action of the central rod 71. When the cross rod 57 moves towards the disc 73, it pushes the disc 73 to rotate in the opposite direction. In this way, the fan plate 72 is switched back and forth between opening and closing. During the combustion process, the opening and closing of the fan plate 72 will cause the indirect discharge of hot air, improve the accumulation of hot air, and increase the detection speed of the flammability test.
[0028] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding assembly 8 comprises a track 81 opened in the middle of the upper surface of the bottom disc 52. The inside of the track 81 movably penetrates a roller shaft 82. The both ends of the roller shaft 82 extend into the inside of the bottom disc 52. The outer surfaces of the both ends of the roller shaft 82 are fixedly sleeved with a gear 83. The inside of the bottom disc 52 slidingly sets a horizontal plate 84. The upper surface of the horizontal plate 84 is fixedly connected with a rack 85. The rack 85 is correspondingly arranged directly below the gear 83. The side edge of the bottom disc 52 is screw-connected with a threaded rod 86. One end of the threaded rod 86 extending into the bottom disc 52 is fixedly connected with a conical barrel 87. The conical barrel 87 is arranged below the horizontal plate 84.
[0029] The photovoltaic assembly to be detected is carried to the bottom disc 52 and pushed into the track 81. Pushing on the roller shaft 82 of the track 81 can reduce the pushing resistance. The sliding friction of the movement of the photovoltaic assembly is converted into rolling friction, which facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic assembly and achieves the effect of saving labor. After the photovoltaic assembly is pushed to the middle of the bottom disc 52, the threaded rod 86 is rotated. The conical barrel 87 at the end of the threaded rod 86 is pushed to slide the horizontal plate 84 upwards, thereby driving the rack 85 to move upwards until the rack 85 is connected with the gear 83, thereby achieving the locking of the roller shaft 82.
[0030] Working principle: When conducting a flammability test on a photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module to be tested is transported to the chassis 52 and pushed into the track 81. Pushing on the roller 82 of the track 81 reduces the pushing resistance and converts the sliding friction of the photovoltaic module movement into rolling friction, which facilitates the installation of the photovoltaic module and achieves the effect of saving effort. After the photovoltaic module is pushed to the middle of the chassis 52, the threaded rod 86 is rotated. The threaded rod 86 moves into the chassis 52. The tapered cylinder 87 at its end pushes the horizontal plate 84 to slide upward with the movement of the threaded rod 86, which in turn drives the rack 85 to move upward until the rack 85 engages with the gear 83, thereby locking the roller 82. Then, the two ends of the vertical rod 62 are correspondingly engaged in the bracket 61. After adjusting the position, the pin 65 is used to lock the vertical rod 62. The elastic telescopic rod 63 and the positioning block 64 on the outer surface of the vertical rod 62 are used to clamp and fix the photovoltaic module. At the same time, the vertical rod 62 also serves to connect the top chassis 51 and the chassis 52. After the photovoltaic modules are fixed, the motor 54 is started. As the motor 54 drives the turntable 55 to rotate, it causes the push block 56 to move in a circular motion around the center of the turntable 55. Simultaneously, because the push block 56 is slidably engaged in the slot 58 of the cross rod 57, the push block 56 causes the cross rod 57 to reciprocate linearly during its movement. One end of the cross rod 57 is equipped with a pawl 59, so during its reciprocating motion, the cross rod 57 pushes the pawl 59 towards the outer surface of the ratchet 53. When the cross rod 57 moves towards the ratchet 53, the pawl 59 pushes the ratchet 53 to rotate, which in turn causes the top plate 51 to rotate, and under the connection of the vertical rod 62, it drives the bottom plate. 52 rotates synchronously. Since the cross bar 57 reciprocates, the pawl 59 will move back under the pull of the cross bar 57 after pushing the ratchet 53 to rotate at the corresponding angle. At this time, the pawl 59 and the ratchet 53 will slide relative to each other, and the top plate 51 and the bottom plate 52 will remain stationary. This achieves the effect of indirect rotation of the photovoltaic module. In conjunction with the burner 3, the outer surface of the photovoltaic module can be burned evenly, ensuring that all parts of the photovoltaic module can be tested for flammability, making the test results more universal. In addition, during the fire extinguishing process, the outer surface of the photovoltaic module can be extinguished in all directions, improving the efficiency of fire extinguishing. During the combustion test, the smoke discharging device 9 is synchronously operated, the cross rod 57 reciprocated by the rotating of the rotating disc 55 also acts on the discharging assembly 7, the slider 76 at the end of the cross rod 57 is slidingly connected in the sliding groove 75, when the cross rod 57 moves towards the top disc 51, the slider 76 is slidingly moved in the sliding groove 75, further pulling the extension plate 74 to rotate the disc 73, under the action of the central rod 71, the fan plate 72 is deflected, when the cross rod 57 moves towards the disc 73, the disc 73 is pushed to rotate reversely, thus the fan plate 72 is switched back and forth between opening and closing, during the combustion process, the opening and closing of the fan plate 72 can indirectly discharge the hot air, improve the gathering of the hot air, and increase the detection speed of the combustibility test.
[0031] The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the above description, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present application, and these modifications and changes shall be within the protection scope of the present application.
