DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a photovoltaic glass defect detection device includes a body 1, a conveying mechanism 11 and a control panel. The conveying mechanism 11 is provided in the body 1 and matches with an external transmission mechanism. A testing mechanism matching with the conveying mechanism 11 is provided in the body 1.

[0032] The testing mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 2, a carrier plate 21, and a punching assembly. The lifting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the body 1 and is electrically connected to the control panel signal. The carrier plate 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 2. The punching assembly is arranged on the carrier plate 21 and matches the conveying mechanism 11.

[0033] The stamping assembly includes four triggers, four unlockers and a striker. The four triggers and the four unlockers correspond to each other as a set of synchronizers. The four triggers are respectively located at the four corners of the carrier plate 21, and the striker is located in the middle of the carrier plate 21 and is connected and matched with the four synchronizers.

[0034] A positioner 22 is provided between the upper inner side of the machine body 1 and the conveying mechanism 11 , and a protective cover 23 is provided at the lower end of the carrier plate 21 .

[0035] After the photovoltaic glass is stacked, in order to ensure the strength of the subsequent installation in the frame and during use, it is necessary to perform a strength test on the photovoltaic glass. The conveying mechanism 11 is connected and matched with the external conveying mechanism, that is, the testing device can be connected to the production line. During the test process, there is no need to manually extract the photovoltaic glass into the testing device for testing, which reduces the complexity of the test.

[0036] The conveying mechanism 11 can be a belt conveyor or a plate conveyor, wherein a plurality of partition plates are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt to position and separate the photovoltaic glass. The positioner 22 is used to position each interval formed by the partition plates and cooperates with the control panel to start the interval of the conveying mechanism 11.

[0037] When testing photovoltaic glass during its production process, the control panel is used to set the intervals for inspection to achieve a random sampling effect. When the control panel counts the number of positioning times through the positioner 22 to a specified number, the control panel starts the lifting cylinder 2 to lower the carrier 21. The lowering of the carrier 21 drives the stamping assembly to gradually cooperate with the photovoltaic glass for testing. The four triggers will gradually abut and retract with the photovoltaic glass until the limit of the unlocker on the impactor is released. At this time, the impactor pops out from the carrier 21 to perform a collision test on the photovoltaic glass, thereby achieving the purpose of destructive testing of the photovoltaic glass. In addition to unlocking the impactor, the four triggers can also perform static pressure testing on the four corners of the photovoltaic glass. Since the edges and corners of the plate glass material are more easily damaged, such a test can ensure the quality of the product to a greater extent. The protective cover 23 can shield the photovoltaic glass to prevent some unqualified photovoltaic glass from being broken and splashing debris after destructive testing, affecting the production environment or injuring the staff, thereby improving the safety of the test.

[0038] The trigger includes a contact 3, a slide 31, a first cable 32 and a first spring 33. The carrier plate 21 is provided with a first step cavity 34 that matches the trigger. The slide 31 is connected to the contact 3 as a whole and the vertical cross-section is T-shaped. The slide 31 is slidably arranged in the first step cavity 34 and the contact 3 extends out of the first step cavity 34. One end of the first cable 32 is connected to the upper end of the slide 31. The first step cavity 34 is provided with a wire groove that matches the striker. The other end of the first cable 32 slides through the wire groove and is connected to the striker. The first spring 33 is sleeved on the first cable 32 and is located in the first step cavity 34.

[0039] When the carrier plate 21 moves downward, the contact 3 will gradually abut against the corners of the photovoltaic glass. As it continues to move downward, the contact 3 will be retracted into the first step cavity 34. At this time, the first spring 33 is squeezed and exerts a reaction force, so that in the process of cooperating with the unlocker and the striker, a static pressure test can be applied by the first spring 33. When the unlocker is unlocked, the striker will start to move downward. At this time, the first cable 32 is in a relaxed state, so it will not affect the striker until the carrier plate 21 rises after the test is completed. During this process, the first spring 33 pushes the slide column 31 to reset, and the corresponding pulling of the first cable 32 also resets the striker.

[0040] The unlocker includes a transverse shaft 4, a secondary lock and a second spring 41. The carrier plate 21 is provided with a second step cavity 42 perpendicular to the axis of the first step cavity 34. The transverse shaft 4 is slidably arranged in the second step cavity 42. The secondary lock is arranged at the end of the transverse shaft 4 away from the trigger and matches the striker. The second spring 41 is arranged at the end of the transverse shaft 4 away from the trigger. The lower side of the slide column 31 is provided with a trapezoidal notch 43 matching the transverse shaft 4.

[0041] When the trigger is retracted by synchronous movement of the carrier plate 21, the trapezoidal notch 43 on the slide post 31 will also move upward relative to the horizontal axis 4. In the static state, the horizontal axis 4 is pushed by the second spring 41 and blocked by the slide post 31, and will continue to move toward the side of the slide post 31. At the same time, the secondary lock extends to limit the striker until the trapezoidal notch 43 corresponds to the horizontal axis 4. The horizontal axis 4 loses its blockage and slides with the second spring 41. At this time, the secondary lock will be retracted into the second step cavity 42. At this time, the secondary lock cancels the limit on the striker and starts the impact test on the photovoltaic glass.

[0042] Similarly, when the carrier plate 21 moves upward, the sliding column 31 moves downward relatively and re-produces a pushing effect on the transverse axis 4, thereby causing the secondary lock to extend again to pre-lock the striker, wherein the striker is not affected by the secondary lock when it is pulled back by the first cable 32; this can synchronize the displacement action and state of the carrier plate 21 and achieve good test effect requirements.

[0043] The secondary lock includes a square piece 5, a lock tongue 51 and a third spring 52. The horizontal axis 4 is provided with a square step cavity 53. The square piece 5 is slidably arranged in the square step cavity 53. The lock tongue 51 is connected to the square piece 5 and extends out of the square step cavity 53. The inclined end of the lock tongue 51 faces downward. The third spring 52 is connected to the other end of the square piece 5.

[0044] The square piece 5 cooperates with the square step cavity 53 to prevent the lock tongue 51 from rotating automatically, and the third spring 52 can keep the lock tongue 51 always in an extended state. Since the inclined end of the lock tongue 51 faces downward, when the striker resets and moves upward, it will be pushed and retracted into the square step cavity 53 without affecting the reset action. However, after the striker passes over the lock tongue 51, the lock tongue 51 can block the striker and achieve the purpose of limiting the position for the next test needs.

[0045] The impactor includes a slide plate 6, an impact head 61 and a fourth spring 62. A third step cavity 63 is opened in the middle of the carrier plate 21. The slide plate 6 is slidably arranged in the third step cavity 63. The impact head 61 is connected to the lower end of the slide plate 6. The fourth spring 62 is arranged at the upper end of the slide plate 6. The other ends of several first cables 32 are all connected to the slide plate 6.

[0046] The slide 6 cooperates with the first cable 32 and the fourth spring 62 to realize movement in the third step cavity 63. When the secondary lock in the unlocker is retracted to cancel the limit blockage of the slide 6, the corresponding first cable 32 is also in a relaxed state. In this state, the fourth spring 62 pushes the slide 6 to push the impact head 61, thereby generating an impact test on the photovoltaic glass on the lower side.

[0047] When the carrier plate 21 moves upward, the impact head 61 is pulled back to its original position by the first cable 32 and is locked by the unlocker to prepare for the next test action.

[0048] In order to ensure the stability of the movement state of the components, the contact 3, the horizontal axis 4, the slide 6 and the corresponding chamber are all limited and guided by guide bars, so that they can only slide along the length of the guide bars instead of rotating. The means of setting the guide bars is a common means of limiting the rotation of column-mounted objects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The positioner 22 is a photoelectric position sensor. Example 2

[0050] like Figure 7-9 As shown, based on the further improvement of the first embodiment, the test mechanism also includes a scanning assembly, the number of the scanning assemblies is two and they are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the carrier plate 21, the scanning assembly includes a guide shaft 7, a slider 71, a camera 72, a second cable 73 and a resetter, a long groove 74 is opened at the lower end of the carrier plate 21, the guide shaft 7 is fixed in the long groove 74, the slider 71 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 7 and matches the long groove 74, the camera 72 is connected to the slider 71 and the shooting end faces the conveying mechanism 11, one end of the second cable 73 is connected to the slider 71 and slides through the carrier plate 21, the other end of the second cable 73 is connected to the upper end of the body 1, and the resetter is connected and matched with the slider 71.

[0051] The resetter is a coil spring box 75 , and a connecting piece of the coil spring box 75 is connected to the slider 71 .

[0052] In order to improve the efficiency of inspection and avoid delaying too many production line processes, after the impact test of the photovoltaic glass is completed by the testing organization, the surface of the photovoltaic glass needs to be scanned and inspected by machine vision immediately. The method of machine vision inspection is a common means of existing appearance inspection and will not be described in detail here. When the carrier plate 21 is initially in a suspended high position, the second cable 73 is not pulled by the slider 71. At this time, the slider 71 is pulled by the spring box 75, which will cause the slider 71 to be located on the side close to the spring box 75. As the carrier plate 21 moves downward, the slider 71 is pulled by the second cable 73 and moves. The camera 72 provided on the slider 71 will gradually move from the initial one side in the long slot 74 to the other side. At this time, the camera 72 performs the first scan to detect whether there is initial damage on the photovoltaic glass.

[0053] When the test mechanism completes the test, the carrier plate 21 rises. At this time, the second cable 73 gradually loses its pulling force on the slider 71 again, and the winding force of the spring box 75 causes the slider 71 and the camera 72 to reset. In this way, the photovoltaic glass that has completed the test can be scanned and inspected, achieving a fast and automatic detection effect.

[0054] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
