When any one or more of the plurality of sub-cells connected in series are defective, the cell may be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to test the performance of the solar cell (such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current, fill factor, efficiency, etc.) to promptly detect defective sub-cells in the solar cell.

[0021] On a solar cell production line, since the film surface of a solar cell is relatively fragile, it is usually placed with the film surface facing upwards, that is, not in contact with the conveying components, so as to reduce the occurrence of scratches on the film surface of the solar cell. When it is necessary to test the solar cells on the production line, in the relevant technology, the solar cells are generally flipped over by the staff, and this operation can easily scratch the film surface of the solar cell.

[0022] In view of this, the present invention provides a testing platform for solar cells, which can reduce the occurrence of scratches on the film surface of the solar cell, thereby reducing the testing cost and improving the testing efficiency.

[0038] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the clamping assembly 600 can help to stably fit the solar cell to be tested in the carrier frame 300 and stably rotate with the carrier frame 300, thereby reducing the shaking and movement of the battery during rotation, and making the membrane surface of the sub-cell in the battery accurately dock with the electrical connection components, thereby improving the test accuracy.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present specification, the test platform 10 includes a first position sensor, which is arranged on the carrier frame 300 and is electrically connected to the clamping assembly 600 and the first drive assembly 400, respectively. The first position sensor is configured to receive a clamping signal emitted by the clamping assembly 600, and respond to the clamping signal to trigger the first drive assembly 400 to drive the carrier frame 300 to drive the solar cell to be tested to rotate.

[0040] In the above-mentioned embodiments, after the clamping assembly 600 is clamped to a preset position to clamp the solar cell to be tested, the clamping signal emitted by the clamping assembly 600 is received by the first position sensor, and the first position sensor responds to the clamping signal to trigger the first driving assembly 400 to drive the carrier frame 300 to drive the solar cell to be tested to rotate.

In order to further reduce the damage of the clip to the battery, an elastic member is provided on the side of the clip facing the battery, which can protect the edge of the battery. Exemplarily, the elastic member may be elastic rubber, foam, etc. The power member 630 may be a clamping cylinder, which is connected between the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620, so that the first clamping member 610 and / or the second clamping member 620 can be driven to move closer to each other to clamp the solar cell to be tested.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the lifting assembly drives the electrical connection assembly 200 to descend to the non-test position of the support frame 100, the collision between the carrier frame 300 and the carrier frame 300 can be reduced. When the carrier frame 300 drives the solar cell to be tested to rotate to the test position, the lifting assembly can drive the electrical connection assembly 200 to rise to the test position, and the second driving assembly 500 drives the electrical connection component to move to the membrane surface of the target sub-cell and connect with it. Moreover, the lifting assembly can help the test platform 10 adapt to battery tests of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the test platform 10.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the lifting assembly includes a connecting plate 710 and a third driving component 720, the connecting plate 710 is connected to the electrical connection assembly 200, and the output shaft of the third driving component 720 is connected to the connecting plate 710 to drive the connecting plate 710 to drive the electrical connection assembly 200 to rise and fall in the support frame 100.

[0047] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, in one or more embodiments of the present specification, the lifting assembly further includes a buffer component 730, which is disposed between the connecting plate 710 and the third driving component 720. The buffer component 730 can reduce the occurrence of damage to the battery membrane surface during the lifting process of the electrical connection assembly 200.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the third driving component 720 may be a lifting cylinder. The buffer component 730 may be an elastic component, which may be a spring or the like.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting assembly further includes a first limit sensor and a second limit sensor, wherein the first limit sensor is configured to limit the rising height of the connecting plate 710 and the second limit sensor is configured to limit the falling height of the connecting plate 710.

By arranging the telescopic rod 810, the sliding sleeve and the fixed rod 840, the occurrence of side slipping of the electrical connection assembly 200 during the lifting process caused by the arrangement of the buffer component 730 can be reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present specification, the test platform 10 also includes a control component, which includes a programmable logic controller (PLC), a solenoid valve, a driver and a relay. The solenoid valve is connected to the PLC and the first drive component 400, the power component 630 and the lifting component. The driver is connected between the PLC and the stepper motor. Therefore, the PLC, as a logic controller, can control the on and off of the relevant solenoid valves and the displacement of the stepper motor.

[0052] In addition, the control circuit of the test platform 10 is provided with three buttons of start, exit and emergency stop, and a total of 6 NPN sensors connected to the rotating cylinder, clamping cylinder and lifting cylinder, which are used to send a cylinder ready signal so that the PLC executes the next step of the program. At the PLC output port, the high-speed pulse port of the PLC is used to control the position of the stepper motor, and the ordinary port is used to control the rotation direction of the stepper motor. Since the working current of the solenoid valve is large, a relay is used for indirect control, and the control signal is also output by the ordinary port of the PLC. The control circuit can be powered by a 24V switching power supply to the NPN sensor, driver, relay and solenoid valve. The power supply of the PLC and the 24V switching power supply uses a 220V 50Hz AC power supply.

[0053] The present invention also provides a testing method for the testing platform, comprising: installing the solar cell to be tested into a loading frame, and driving the loading frame to drive the solar cell to be tested to rotate relative to the supporting frame through a first driving component, so that the film surface of the solar cell to be tested faces the electrical connection component; driving the electrical connection component to rise in the supporting frame through a lifting component until the electrical connection component connects the testing equipment and the film surface of the solar cell to be tested, so that the testing equipment tests the solar cell to be tested.

[0054] Specifically, the testing method of the test platform provided by the present invention for the solar cell to be tested is as follows: S100. According to the specific parameters of the solar cell to be tested, the sub-cell numbers of the start and end positions of the measurement are set, starting from the positive pole, the positive pole is No. 1, the first adjacent sub-cell is No. 2, and so on, ending at the negative pole (a similar numbering method is currently used); the PLC will send a relevant signal to the driver of the stepper motor, so that the stepper motor drives the electrical connection component to move to the corresponding sub-cell position, and the first electrical connection component and the second electrical connection component can be used as the positive and negative electrodes during the test respectively.

[0055] S200, place the solar cell to be tested with the film surface facing upwards, and place the cell flatly into the hollow step of the loading frame in the specified direction, click the start button, and the components of the test platform run according to the preset program.

[0056] S300. According to the preset program, the PLC controls the relay to indirectly control the solenoid valve of the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder contracts and pulls the clip to fix the solar cell to be tested. When the first position sensor receives the clamping signal, the solenoid valve of the rotating cylinder is turned on, and the rotating cylinder drives the loading frame to flip 180°. When the second position sensor receives the in-position signal, the next step of the program is carried out.

[0057] S400. Under the control of the PLC, after the solenoid valve connected to the lifting cylinder is turned on, the lifting cylinder will drive the electrical connection component to rise until the electrical connection component on the bracket contacts the battery membrane surface.

[0058] S500, the electrical connection component is connected to the test equipment through the wire to test the solar cell to be tested, and two positive electrodes and two negative electrodes can be simultaneously led out (the voltage and current test equipment needs to be connected to two positive electrodes and two negative electrodes at the same time).

[0059] S600. After the measurement is completed, press the exit button, the lifting cylinder drives the electrical connection assembly to descend, and after the limit sensor of the lifting cylinder is triggered, the rotating cylinder rotates in the opposite direction. After the flip is ready, the clamping cylinder is released, and the battery can be removed from the loading frame.
