Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of testing devices, and in particular to an automatic installation testing device for photovoltaic connector sealing rings. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of society, solar energy, as a new energy source, has been widely used. The use of solar energy is inseparable from photovoltaic (PV) connectors, which bear the heavy responsibility of connecting various components such as PV modules, controllers, and inverters. These PV connectors are typically used outdoors, and their waterproof requirements are particularly stringent when facing wind and rain. This is to prevent water damage and short circuits between components, which could affect the overall stability of the PV connector. Currently, waterproof sealing of PV connectors is usually achieved by adding a sealing ring; however, since the sealing ring usually needs to be inserted into the center of the PV connector, ordinary tools cannot reach a long distance for insertion, and the sealing ring often fails to be properly engaged. Because it is inside the connector, it is impossible to immediately monitor whether the sealing ring is properly engaged during actual production and processing, which brings great inconvenience to the actual production process.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10This invention discloses an automatic installation and testing device for a photovoltaic connector sealing ring, comprising a feeding assembly and a picking assembly. The feeding assembly includes a horizontal guide rail 1, on which a first slider 2 is slidably mounted, and a drive motor 3 is connected to the end of the guide rail 1. The picking assembly includes a connecting bracket 4 vertically mounted on the first slider 2, with a vertical first drive cylinder 5 mounted at the lower end of the connecting bracket 4. A second slider 6 is connected to the top of the telescopic end of the first drive cylinder 5, and a circular picking platform 7 is mounted on the second slider 6. A sliding pin 8 is provided at the upper end of the circular picking platform 7 along the circumferential direction, and the sliding pin 8 slides freely along the diameter direction of the circular picking platform 7. A vertical second drive cylinder 9 is also mounted on one side of the circular picking platform 7, with the axis of the second drive cylinder 9 parallel to the axis of the circular picking platform 7. A lifting push plate 10 is connected to the top of the telescopic end of the second drive cylinder 9, and the lifting push plate 10 is horizontally positioned at the upper end of the circular picking platform 7. A limit ring 11 is provided on the lifting push plate 10 at a position relative to the sliding pin 8.

[0031] A vibrating feeding tube is vertically installed above one end of the guide rail 1, filled with a sealing ring. A vibrating motor is connected to one end of the vibrating feeding tube. A photovoltaic connector 12 is installed above the other end of the guide rail 1, clamped on the turntable. This design facilitates automatic feeding of the sealing ring and the material handling operation of the material handling mechanism. A base plate 13 is installed at the lower end of the circular material handling platform 7. One side of the base plate 13 is mounted on the second slider 6, ensuring the stable operation of the circular material handling platform 7. One side of the second drive cylinder 9 is mounted on the side wall of the base plate 13. An H-shaped mounting plate 14 is also installed at the lower end of the guide rail 1 for easy fixation on the worktable. Limiting posts 15 are installed at the end of the mounting plate 14 away from the drive motor 3 and at the end closer to the drive motor 2. Specifically, two relatively distributed limit posts 15 are provided at the end furthest from the drive motor 3, and two relatively distributed limit posts 15 are provided at the end closest to the drive motor 2. The four limit posts 15 are arranged in a matrix, and the position limit operation can be achieved through the limit posts 15. A photoelectric detector 16 is also provided on the limit posts 15, and the position limit operation can be achieved through the photoelectric detector 16. An automatic monitoring component is also provided on the lower side of the photovoltaic connector 12. The automatic monitoring component includes a high-definition camera, a supplementary light, and a monitoring connection bracket. The high-definition camera faces the lower part of the vibrating feed tube, and the supplementary light is set on one side of the high-definition camera. Both the high-definition camera and the supplementary light are mounted on the monitoring connection bracket.

[0032] In this application, the sliding pin 8 is connected to a micro cylinder. The operation of the micro cylinder causes the sliding pin 8 to move freely along the diameter of the circular feeding platform 7. When the sliding pins 8 converge towards the center of the circular feeding platform 7, it facilitates the material handling operation at the vibrating feeding tube. The falling sealing ring will be fitted onto the sliding pin 8. When the whole assembly moves to the photovoltaic connector 12, the operation of the micro cylinder can be controlled to move the sliding pins 8 outward from the diameter of the circular feeding platform 7. This will open the sealing ring from the inside. When it is pushed to the corresponding height, the second drive cylinder 9 is operated to push the lifting push plate 10 away from the sliding pin 8. In this way, the sealing ring is pushed into the photovoltaic connector 12. As the sealing ring gradually contracts, it slides into the sealing ring groove and is fixed in place.

[0033] The drive motor 3, the first drive cylinder 5, the second drive cylinder 9, the photovoltaic connector 12, and the photoelectric detector 16 are all common components on the market. They are all standard parts and can be purchased directly from the market.

[0034] The operating principle of this automatic installation and detection device for photovoltaic connector sealing rings is as follows:

[0035] First, the drive motor 3 can be controlled by an external controller to move the first slider 2, which in turn moves the entire material-taking assembly to one side of the vibrating feed tube. The first drive cylinder 5, controlled by the controller, moves the second slider 6 upwards. The second slider 6 then moves the circular material-taking platform 7 upwards, where it connects to the sealing ring via a sliding pin 8 on the platform 7. After the sealing ring is fitted onto the sliding pin 8, the first drive cylinder 5 is retracted, causing the entire material-taking assembly to move downwards. The drive motor 3 is then controlled to move the entire material-taking assembly to one end of the photovoltaic connector 12. The sliding pin 8, controlled by the external controller, moves outwards, thus pushing the sealing ring from the inside. The system is positioned and the first drive cylinder 5 is controlled to operate, causing the entire material handling assembly to rise. Finally, the second drive cylinder 9 is controlled to operate, causing the lifting push plate 10 to push the sealing ring away from the sliding pin 8 through the limit ring 11 and push it into the photovoltaic connector 12. After the sealing ring retracts, it slides into the sealing ring groove inside the photovoltaic connector 12. The system is monitored by an automatic monitoring component set on one side of the photovoltaic connector 12. Specifically, a high-definition camera takes pictures of the sealing ring groove area and quickly transmits the pictures to the backend for comparison. If the comparison meets the requirements, the process can continue. If a discrepancy occurs, an alarm will be triggered to prompt the operator to handle the situation quickly.

[0036] This automatic installation and detection device for photovoltaic connector sealing rings can achieve rapid, efficient, and accurate installation of the sealing rings through the effective cooperation of the material handling component, the feeding component, and the automatic monitoring component. It enables real-time monitoring of the online assembly of the sealing rings, ensuring the overall sealing effect of the sealing rings and improving the overall production and processing efficiency of photovoltaic connectors.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
