[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and specifically relates to testing the sealing performance of structural components, and in particular to a photovoltaic inverter testing platform and a testing process thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a core component of a photovoltaic system, the airtightness of a photovoltaic inverter directly affects its long-term reliability in outdoor environments. According to the IP65 and above protection level requirements (ISO20486:2020), airtightness testing is required to verify the sealing performance.

[0003] Conventional methods assess airtightness by applying pressure to the interior of a PV inverter and monitoring pressure changes. However, this method has significant drawbacks: it cannot distinguish the source of a leak; pressure monitoring only reflects overall leakage. If a leak is detected during testing, it is impossible to distinguish whether the PV inverter itself is airtight or whether a leak is occurring between the sealing head and the inspection window.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that existing detection cannot distinguish the source of leakage is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0005] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this background technology section is only used to understand the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute information of related technology.

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

[0064] The terms used herein are only used to describe specific exemplary configurations and are not intended to be limiting.

[0066] Research has found that in related technologies, the air tightness of photovoltaic inverters, as the core components of photovoltaic systems, directly affects their long-term reliability in outdoor environments. According to the protection level requirements of IP65 and above (ISO 20486:2020), air tightness testing is required to verify the sealing performance.

[0067] In related technologies, the traditional method involves applying pressure to the inside of a PV inverter and determining airtightness by monitoring pressure changes. However, this method has a significant drawback: it cannot distinguish the source of the leak, and pressure monitoring only reflects overall leakage. During the inspection process, if a leak occurs, it is impossible to distinguish whether the airtightness of the PV inverter itself is unqualified or whether there is a leak between the sealing pressure head and the inspection window. In traditional pressurized testing, when the sealing pressure head and the inspection window are in poor contact, the misjudgment rate increases, resulting in increased rework costs.

[0068] Therefore, how to solve the problem that existing detection cannot distinguish the source of leakage is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0069] The defects in the above solutions and the causes of their occurrence are the results obtained by the inventors after practice and careful research. Therefore, the process of discovering the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure in this article should be the contributions made by the inventors to the present disclosure during the disclosure process.

[0070] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0071] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, at least one embodiment provides a photovoltaic inverter 2 test platform, including: a test table 1, which is slidably set on a workbench 5 and is used to limit the inverter 2; when the test table 1 slides outward, it is convenient to take and place the inverter 2. After the inverter 2 is fixed on the test table 1, the test table 1 slides inward to the bottom of the sealing pressure head 3, so as to facilitate pressurization testing of the inverter 2. The sealing pressure head 3 is set above the workbench 5 for lifting and is connected to the compressed air pump; the air pressure sensor is located in the inverter; the control module includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the air pressure sensor, the compressed air pump and the driving module for driving the sealing pressure head to move up and down, and the PLC controller is preset with pressure thresholds and time parameters for the first extrusion stage and the second pressurization stage. The driving module includes a linear lifting device, and the sealing pressure head 3 is fixed at the movable end of the linear lifting device. The linear lifting device is suitable for driving the sealing pressure head 3 to move vertically up and down. The sealing and pressurizing head has an air passage connected to a compressed air pump. When adjusting the seal detection window 20 of the sealing structure 4, the compressed air pump delivers compressed air into the inverter 2 through the air passage. Furthermore, a pressure sensor is placed in the inverter 2 before the test. This pressure sensor is suitable for monitoring the real-time air pressure status within the inverter 2. After delivering a certain pressure to the inverter 2, the pressure is stabilized for a period of 100-120 seconds, i.e., 100-120 seconds, after a certain period of quiescence. According to the IEC 60529 standard, the test pressure is set to 12 kPa, and the stabilization time is 120 seconds.

[0073] Reference Attachment Figure 2 The adjustable sealing structure 4 is provided on the bottom wall of the sealing and pressurizing head 3 and is adapted to fit the detection window 20 of the inverter 2. The adjustable sealing structure 4 is adapted to be inserted into the detection port and seal the detection window 20. During testing, the sealing and pressurizing head 3 moves downward until the adjustable sealing structure 4 abuts against the stepped bottom wall of the detection window 20. The compressed air pump delivers compressed air into the inverter 2 to test whether the airtightness is qualified. If a leak occurs, the sealing and pressurizing head 3 continues to move downward until the adjustable sealing structure 4 abuts against the inner wall of the detection window 20. The control module is adapted to distinguish the source of the leak based on the signal transmitted by the air pressure sensor. By adjusting the coordination between the sealing structure 4 and the sealing pressure head 3, when the inverter 2 is pressurized for testing, if leakage occurs, the sealing pressure head 3 continues to move downward to make the sealing structure 4 contact the inner wall of the detection window 20, and the control module is suitable for distinguishing the source of leakage according to the signal transmitted by the air pressure sensor. Through one test, it can be accurately determined whether the air tightness of the inverter 2 itself is unqualified or the air tightness of the connection between the sealing structure 4 and the detection window 20 is unqualified, thereby distinguishing the source of leakage, improving the detection accuracy, avoiding rework due to errors, and improving work efficiency.

[0074] Reference Attachment Figure 3The adjustable sealing structure 4 includes a support block 41, which is annularly fixed to the bottom wall of the sealing pressure head 3 and is hollow inside with an open top. The outer diameter of the ring formed by the support block 41 is smaller than the inner diameter of the detection window 20. That is, when the support block 41 is inserted into the detection window 20, a gap is provided between the outer wall of the support block 41 and the inner wall of the detection window 20. A sealing sleeve 42 is arranged to rise and fall on the bottom wall of the support block 41 and slides and seals with the support block 41. The sealing sleeve 42 is a flexible member. When the sealing sleeve 42 abuts the stepped bottom wall of the detection window 20, the sealing sleeve 42 deforms to increase the contact area between the sealing sleeve 42 and the inverter 2, thereby improving the sealing performance. The sealing ring 43 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sealing and pressurizing head 3. During testing, the sealing and pressurizing head 3 moves downward until the sealing sleeve 42 abuts against the stepped bottom wall of the detection window 20, and the compressed air pump delivers compressed air into the inverter 2. The air pressure sensor is suitable for detecting whether the air tightness of the inverter 2 is qualified. At this time, the sealing ring 43 is located above the detection window 20 of the inverter 2, and the inverter 2 can be sealed only by the sealing sleeve 42 abutting against the stepped bottom wall of the detection window 20.

[0075] Reference Attachment Figure 6 If a leak occurs, that is, the air pressure in the inverter 2 does not reach the predetermined value at the end of the static time as monitored by the air pressure sensor, the inverter 2 is preliminarily judged to be airtight. Further, it is necessary to distinguish whether the airtightness of the photovoltaic inverter 2 itself is unqualified or whether there is a leak at the sealing and pressurizing head 3 and the detection window 20. The sealing and pressurizing head 3 continues to move downward, and the support block 41 moves downward relative to the sealing sleeve 42 until the outer wall of the sealing ring 43 abuts the inner wall of the detection window 20. Compressed air is then supplied to the inverter 2 again to test its airtightness. After the sealing ring 43 abuts the inner wall of the detection window 20, if the value monitored by the air pressure sensor reaches the predetermined value, the inverter 2 is judged to be airtight. If the value monitored by the air pressure sensor does not reach the predetermined value, the inverter 2 is judged to be airtight.

[0076] Reference Attachment Figure 4The sealing and pressurizing head 3 is provided with a plurality of pressure-exhaust air ducts 31 along the axial direction, and the pressure-exhaust air ducts 31 are connected to the support block 41; the pressure-exhaust air duct 31 is opened in the vertical direction; the sealing and pressurizing head 3 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 32 along the radial direction, and the connecting grooves 32 are connected to the pressure-exhaust air duct 31, and the sealing ring 43 is arranged at the outer end opening of the connecting groove 32. The connecting groove 32 is opened in the horizontal direction; the sealing ring 43 is arranged circumferentially around the outer wall of the sealing and pressurizing head 3 to seal the connecting groove 32. The inner side wall of the sealing ring 43 is provided with a plurality of linkage plates 46, and the linkage plates 46 extend into the pressure-exhaust air duct 31 through the connecting groove 32; wherein, after the second exhaust hole 45 is connected with the first exhaust hole 44, the compressed air in the inverter 2 pushes the linkage plate 46 to move upward when flowing upward through the pressure-exhaust air duct 31, and the linkage plate 46 pulls the sealing ring 43 to deform inward. The linkage plate 46 is made of a flexible rubber material. When the airflow pushes the vertical section to elastically deform, it drives the sealing ring 43 to contract inward. The linkage plate 46 pulls the sealing ring 43 inward to deform, and when the sealing pressure head 3 is separated from the detection window 20, it prevents the sealing ring 43 from being damaged by friction with the inner wall of the detection window 20.

[0077] Continue to refer to the attached Figure 4 The bottom wall of the support block 41 is provided with several return springs 47. The upper ends of the return springs 47 are fixed to the bottom wall of the support block 41, and the lower ends of the return springs 47 are fixed within the sealing sleeve 42. The return springs 47 are adapted to push the sealing sleeve 42 downward. When the sealing and pressurizing head 3 is not inserted into the detection window 20, the return springs 47 push the sealing sleeve 42 away from the support block 41, so that the second vent 45 is sealed by the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 42. The sealing sleeve 42 has several first vent holes 44 defined on the inner bottom of the support block 41, and several second vent holes 45 defined on the inner bottom of the support block 41. When compressed air is delivered to the inverter 2 for testing, the first vent holes 44 and the second vent holes 45 are offset. The second vent holes 45 are adapted to direct the compressed air within the inverter 2 toward the exhaust duct 31. Upon completion of testing, the sealing and pressurizing head 3 continues to move downward until the second vent holes 45 connect with the first vent holes 44, and the compressed air within the inverter 2 is discharged through the exhaust duct 31. The linkage plate 46 includes a vertical section and a horizontal section, and its vertical section faces the support block 41. When the compressed air in the inverter 2 flows upward through the exhaust air duct 31, the vertical section of the linkage plate 46 blocks the airflow velocity, so that the linkage plate 46 is pushed by the compressed air flow to move upward. The opening diameter of the first exhaust hole 44 gradually increases from top to bottom to achieve segmented pressure relief. When the outer wall of the sealing ring 43 abuts the inner wall of the detection window 20, the first exhaust hole 44 and the second exhaust hole 45 are misaligned, that is, at this time, the compressed air in the inverter 2 will not leak out through the first exhaust hole 44 and the second exhaust hole 45.

[0078] At least one embodiment provides a photovoltaic inverter 2 test platform, including: a sealing pressure head 3, which is lifted and lowered above the inverter 2; an adjustable sealing structure 4, which is adapted to the detection window 20 of the inverter 2, including: a support block 41, a sealing sleeve 42 and a sealing ring 43, wherein the support block 41 is annularly fixed to the bottom wall of the sealing pressure head 3, is hollow inside and has an open upper end; the sealing sleeve 42 is lifted and lowered on the bottom wall of the support block 41, and is slidably sealed with the support block 41; the sealing ring 43 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sealing pressure head 3 and is suitable for abutting against the side wall of the detection window 20; wherein, during testing, the sealing pressure head 3 moves downward until the sealing sleeve 42 abuts against the stepped bottom wall of the detection window 20, and the compressed air pump delivers compressed air into the inverter 2 to detect whether its air tightness is qualified; if a leak occurs, the sealing pressure head 3 continues to move downward until the outer wall of the sealing ring 43 abuts against the inner wall of the detection window 20, and compressed air is again delivered into the inverter 2 to detect whether its air tightness is qualified.

[0079] At least one embodiment provides a testing process for a photovoltaic inverter 2 testing platform, the testing process comprising: during testing, the sealing pressure head 3 moves downward until the adjusting sealing structure 4 abuts against the bottom wall of the step of the detection window 20, and the compressed air pump delivers compressed air into the inverter 2 to detect whether its air tightness is qualified; if a leak occurs, the sealing pressure head 3 continues to move downward so that the adjusting sealing structure 4 abuts against the inner wall of the detection window 20 to distinguish the source of the leak.
