Those skilled in the art can easily understand the advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented in other different ways, that is, without departing from the scope disclosed by the present invention, different modifications and changes can be made.

[0037] Embodiment: A photovoltaic panel integrated transportation and detection device, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the transportation and detection device is divided into a to-be-inspected and unstacked area A, a secondary positioning area B, a to-be-detected and loaded area C, an aging test chamber (not shown in the figure), an inspected and unloaded area D, and an inspected and stacked area E;

[0038] The to-be-inspected and unstacked area is provided with a code scanning device 11 capable of three-axis movement. The pallet 20 on which the photovoltaic panels 10 to be inspected are placed is placed in the to-be-inspected and unstacked area; each layer of photovoltaic panels on the pallet is scanned one by one through the code scanning device;

[0039] The secondary positioning area is provided with a positioning platform 21 and a centering positioning mechanism 22. The manipulator 3 is used to move the photovoltaic panel to be inspected to the positioning platform, and the centering positioning mechanism is used to position the photovoltaic panel to be inspected from both sides. Then, it is flipped by the manipulator and transported to the to-be-detected and loaded area;

[0040] Both the to-be-detected and loaded area and the inspected and unloaded area include a test rack 31 and a plurality of rack positioning mechanisms. The rack positioning mechanism includes a first positioning mechanism 32 and a second positioning mechanism 33. The test rack is positioned through the rack positioning mechanism, and a Y-direction positioning plate 61 is also provided at one end;

[0041] The inspected and unloaded area is provided with the first positioning mechanism. The test rack is limited through the first positioning mechanism, and the AGV forklift 4 is used to move the test rack from the to-be-detected and loaded area into the aging test chamber, and then to the inspected and unloaded area;

[0042] The inspected and stacked area is provided with a pallet. The manipulator is used to transport the photovoltaic panels on the test rack in the inspected and unloaded area into the pallet in the inspected and stacked area one by one.

[0043] In this embodiment, the code scanning device 11 includes a code scanner 111, an X-direction driving module 112, a Y-direction driving module 113, and a Z-direction driving module 114. The X-direction driving module, the Y-direction driving module, and the Z-direction driving module drive the code scanner to move along the X-direction, the Y-direction, and the Z-direction respectively.

[0044] In this embodiment, a ground rail module 5 extending along the Y-direction is provided at the bottom of the manipulator, and the manipulator can move along the ground rail module.

[0045] In this embodiment, the test rack includes a plurality of partitions (not shown in the figure), and the test rack is partitioned into a plurality of areas by the partitions, and the photovoltaic panels are inserted into the areas.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first positioning mechanism is located on both sides of the test rack. Each first positioning mechanism 32 includes a positioning push plate 321 and a Y-direction positioning driving cylinder 322. The positioning push plate is driven by the Y-direction positioning driving cylinder to move along the Y-direction to perform Y-direction positioning on the test rack.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second positioning mechanism 33 includes a positioning hook 331, a positioning rotary cylinder 332, and an X-direction positioning driving cylinder 333. The positioning hook is located at the power output end of the positioning rotary cylinder. The positioning hook is driven by the X-direction positioning driving cylinder to translate along the X-direction, and the positioning hook is driven by the positioning rotary cylinder. The empty test rack can be moved to the to-be-detected loading area by an AGV cart. When the test rack touches the Y-direction positioning plate, it means that the test rack has moved in place in the X-direction. Then, the first positioning mechanism clamps the test rack from both sides. After that, the X-direction positioning driving cylinder drives the positioning hook to move in place along the Y-direction, and the positioning rotary cylinder drives the positioning hook to rotate a certain angle to hook the frame of the test rack, so as to realize the positioning and fixing of the test rack.

[0048] In this embodiment, a Y-direction positioning plate 61 extending along the Y-direction is provided on one side of the post-inspection palletizing area, and the first positioning mechanism 32 is provided on the other side. It is convenient for the AGV forklift to perform limit and positioning when moving the test rack here. When the test rack touches the Y-direction positioning plate, it means that the test rack has moved in place in the X-direction. Then, the first positioning mechanism clamps and fixes the test rack from both sides.

[0049] In this embodiment, the centering and positioning mechanism 22 includes a centering bracket 221, a first centering push plate 222, a second centering push plate 223, a connecting rod structure 224, and a centering driving cylinder 225. The power output end of the centering driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the first centering push plate. One end of the connecting rod structure is rotatably connected to the first centering push plate, and the other end is connected to the second centering push plate. At the same time, the connecting rod structure is also rotatably connected to the centering bracket. A plurality of rollers are arranged at intervals on the positioning platform. Since the position accuracy of the photovoltaic panel on the pallet in the to-be-inspected and depalletized area is insufficient, the centering and positioning mechanism is used to perform secondary positioning on it. Specifically: the manipulator places the photovoltaic panel on the positioning platform, and then the centering driving cylinder acts, directly driving the first centering push plate to move inward. Since one end of the connecting rod structure is rotatably connected to the first centering push plate and the other end is connected to the second centering push plate, it will drive the second centering push plate to also move inward, that is, both the first centering push plate and the second centering push plate move inward to clamp the photovoltaic panel in the middle, performing secondary positioning on the photovoltaic panel. Then the centering driving cylinder acts to drive the first centering push plate and the second centering push plate to release the photovoltaic panel, and then the manipulator can pick it up and take it away.

[0050] In this embodiment, a guardrail 7 is provided on the outer periphery of the transportation and detection device, and an electric control cabinet 8 is also provided outside the guardrail.

[0051] The working process and working principle of the present utility model are as follows:

[0052] The AGV forklift places the pallet with the to-be-inspected photovoltaic panels to be tested into the to-be-inspected and depalletized area for depalletizing. The three-axis movable scanning device scans the photovoltaic panels, and then the manipulator moves along the ground rail to the position, moves the photovoltaic panel to the positioning platform in the secondary positioning area, and then the centering and positioning mechanism performs secondary positioning on the photovoltaic panel. Since the position accuracy of the photovoltaic panel on the pallet is insufficient, the centering and positioning mechanism is used to perform secondary positioning on it. Then the manipulator moves and flips it upright and places it on the test rack in the to-be-detected and loaded area. Repeat the above process until the test rack is full of products (in this embodiment, each test rack holds 8 products). After it is full, the AGV forklift transports the test rack to the aging test cabinet (not shown in the figure) for aging test. After the test is completed, the AGV forklift transports the test rack to the post-inspection and unloading area, and the manipulator takes out the tested photovoltaic panels and places them on the pallet in the post-inspection and palletizing area (in this embodiment, the pallet can hold 32 photovoltaic panels when full). After that, the AGV forklift transports the pallet out, and manual packaging can be carried out.

[0053] This device is mainly used for laboratory test projects of photovoltaic panels. Its main functions include detecting the aging test of photovoltaic panels, automatic palletizing, testing, and stacking; realizing information storage after product testing and material traceability; and establishing a planar virtual shelf by dividing areas on the laboratory floor to achieve automatic positioning, placement, information binding, identification, and tracking of samples and racks.

[0054] The above are only embodiments of the present utility model, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structures made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
