Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, in particular to a color calibration method, device and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The main role of the packaging material of the photovoltaic module is to protect the battery piece from environmental erosion, while ensuring long-term power generation efficiency. The packaging material usually needs to select a material with certain transparency (i.e. light transmittance), for example, photovoltaic glass, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), water-resistant film, etc.
[0003] At present, since the photovoltaic module itself has a certain base color, and the packaging material is usually a material with certain transparency, therefore, after the packaging material and the photovoltaic module are laminated, the color of the photovoltaic module itself can be seen through the packaging material. At this time, when the color spraying equipment sprays the input color (i.e. the color in the to-be-printed image) on the packaging material, the sprayed color presented on the packaging material will be inaccurate. For example, it is intended to spray a red pattern (i.e. the to-be-printed image is a red pattern) on the packaging material, but since the photovoltaic module is black, the sprayed color presented on the packaging material is usually a dark red pattern. It can be seen that there is a large difference between the sprayed color presented on the packaging material and the input color when the current color spraying equipment sprays the input color on the packaging material. SUMMARY

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0055] Considering that the photovoltaic module itself has a certain base color (for example, black), and the encapsulating material is usually a material with a certain transparency, therefore, after the encapsulating material is laminated with the photovoltaic module, the color of the photovoltaic module itself can be seen through the encapsulating material. At this time, when the color spraying device sprays the input color (i.e. the color in the image to be printed) on the encapsulating material, the sprayed color presented on the encapsulating material will be inaccurate. For example, it is intended to spray a red pattern (i.e. the image to be printed is a red pattern) on the encapsulating material, but since the photovoltaic module is black, the sprayed color presented on the encapsulating material is usually a dark red pattern. It can be seen that there is a large difference between the sprayed color presented on the encapsulating material and the input color when the current color spraying device sprays the input color on the encapsulating material. Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a color calibration method, device and system, which are described below through embodiments.
[0056] It is worth noting that in the embodiment, the packaging material laminated with the photovoltaic module is actually a layer of colored photoelectric material compounded on the surface of the photovoltaic module, and the photovoltaic module and the layer of colored photoelectric material compounded on the surface of the photovoltaic module together constitute a full-color photoelectric functional material. Through the full-color photoelectric functional material, the appearance of the traditional photovoltaic module has color and pattern, and thus the external visual effect of being integrated with the environment is achieved. The full-color photoelectric functional material can realize customization of full-color photoelectric functional material products of different colors, patterns and functions according to different needs and application scenarios, so as to meet diversified needs.
[0057] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiment, first, a color calibration method disclosed in the embodiment is introduced in detail. As shown in Figure 1 the following steps S101-S103 are included:
[0058] S101: Based on the step total ink amount percentage of the target ink, control the color spraying equipment to spray ink and print a gradual color block array on the first printing medium; the step total ink amount percentage includes a plurality of step total ink amount percentages; the gradual color block array includes a hue gradient column sprayed and printed based on each total ink amount percentage; the hue gradient column includes a first color block of different hues under the total ink amount percentage; the first printing medium is a packaging material laminated with a photovoltaic module, and the transparency of the packaging material is within a preset transparency range; the gradual color block array is used to determine the peak value of the total ink amount percentage, and the peak value is determined according to the color step change in the gradual color block array.
[0059] S102: Based on the peak value and a plurality of target color values, determine the color performance of each target color value on the packaging material.
[0060] S103: Based on the peak value and the color performance of each target color value on the packaging material, generate a color calibration printing configuration file; the color calibration printing configuration file is used for color calibration when spraying ink on the packaging material laminated with the photovoltaic module.
[0061] In step S101, the color spraying equipment can be a full-color micro-layer color forming device, which adopts a multi-nozzle configuration, and different nozzles are configured with different color inks.
[0062] The target ink includes a plurality of basic color inks, for example, the target ink includes inks of four basic colors of cyan (Cyan), magenta (Magenta), yellow (Yellow) and black (Key / Black). Different basic color inks are configured in the ink path corresponding to different nozzles of the color spraying equipment, so that each nozzle can spray out the ink of the corresponding basic color, and full-color output is realized through the superposition and mixing of the four basic colors.
[0063] The photovoltaic module is generally black, and the transparency of the encapsulating material laminated with the photovoltaic module is within a preset transparency range, where the preset transparency range is (0, 100%], where the transparency of 0 means completely opaque, that is, when the transparency is 0, the encapsulating material is an opaque material; the transparency of 100% means completely transparent, that is, when the transparency is 100%, the encapsulating material is a completely transparent material.
[0064] Therefore, the color (black) of the photovoltaic module itself can be seen through the encapsulating material. The encapsulating material is any one of the following: photovoltaic glass, PET, PVC, PVDF, and water-blocking film. Preferably, the encapsulating material is photovoltaic glass.
[0065] In this embodiment, the total ink percentage value ranges from 0 to 400%. As shown in Figure 2 , a plurality of total ink percentages with step increments are shown, which are 150%, 160%,..., 400%, respectively. The total ink percentage is equal to the sum of the ink percentages corresponding to the four basic colors of CMYK, respectively. For example, when the ink percentages corresponding to the four basic colors of CMYK are 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, the total ink percentage corresponding to CMYK (100%, 100%, 100%, 100%) is 400%. When the ink percentages corresponding to the four basic colors of CMYK are 0%, 0%, 0%, and 0%, respectively, the total ink percentage corresponding to CMYK (0%, 0%, 0%, 0) is 0%.
[0066] In this example, as can be seen from Figure 2 , when the total ink percentage is 360% or more, the color does not change much, which indicates that the combination of the four basic colors has reached the peak at 360%, and there is no need to increase the ink amount, that is, the peak value of the total ink percentage in this example is 360%.
[0067] In step S102, when step S102 is performed, the following steps S1021-S1022 can be performed:
[0068] S1021: based on the peak value and the plurality of target color values, controlling the color spraying device to spray and print the second color blocks corresponding to the plurality of target color values on the target printing medium; the target printing medium is the encapsulating material laminated with the photovoltaic module.
[0069] S1022: controlling the color matching instrument to scan the second color blocks corresponding to the plurality of target color values sprayed and printed on the target printing medium, matching the target color values corresponding to the second color blocks with the color performance of the second color blocks, and obtaining the matching results corresponding to the plurality of target color values.
[0070] In step S1021, the target color value is constituted by the ink amount percentage of each base color ink in the calibration color corresponding to the target color value. For example, when the target color value is CMYK (0, 0, 0, 0), the calibration color corresponding to the target color value is white, and the ink amount percentage of each base color ink is 0% respectively. Generally, as shown in the following table, when the target color value is CMYK (0, 0, 0, 0), the calibration color corresponding to the target color value is white, and the ink amount percentage of each base color ink is 0% respectively. Figure 3 As shown, the second color block has thousands of second color blocks.
[0071] In this embodiment, when step S1021 is performed, it can be performed according to the following steps S10211-S10212:
[0072] S10211: For each target color value, configure the white ink amount percentage of the target color value based on the depth of the calibration color corresponding to the target color value; the deeper the calibration color corresponding to the target color value, the less white ink amount percentage is configured for the target color value; the lighter the calibration color corresponding to the target color value, the more white ink amount percentage is configured for the target color value.
[0073] S10212: For each target color value, determine whether the sum of the ink amount percentage of each base color ink contained in the target color value is greater than the peak value.
[0074] S10213: When it is less than or equal to the peak value, control the color spraying device to inkjet print the second color block corresponding to the target color value on the target printing medium based on the ink amount percentage of each base color ink contained in the target color value and the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value.
[0075] S10214: When it is greater than the peak value, control the color spraying device to inkjet print the second color block corresponding to the target color value on the target printing medium based on the peak value and the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value; the color calibration printing configuration file further contains the white ink amount percentage configured for each target color value.
[0076] In step S10211, considering that when inkjet printing is performed on the encapsulating material (laminated with the photovoltaic module), the photovoltaic module located at the dark color pattern will be weak in light transmittance (i.e., strong in shading rate), thus causing the photovoltaic module at the dark color pattern to act as a load in the entire photovoltaic module and absorb the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic module at other positions, thereby causing hot spot effect at the photovoltaic module at the dark color pattern.
[0077] To solve the problem, in the embodiment, for each target color value, when the calibration color corresponding to the target color value is lighter, the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value is more, so as to reduce the light transmittance and increase the hiding rate; when the calibration color corresponding to the target color value is darker, the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value is less, so as to increase the light transmittance and reduce the hiding rate.
[0078] Based on this, in the embodiment, when step S10211 is performed, the corresponding white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value can be calculated by the following formula:
[0079]
[0080] Wherein, m represents the sum of the ink amount percentages of each basic color ink contained in the target color value; w represents the corresponding white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value; the value range of the ink amount percentage of each basic color ink is 0-100%.
[0081] In step S10212, when performing inkjet printing on the packaging material (laminated with the photovoltaic module), for example, for black CMYK (100%, 100%, 100%, 100%), the sum of the ink amount percentages of each basic color ink contained in the target color value is 400%, which is greater than the peak value 360%. For white CMYK (0%, 0%, 0%, 0%), the sum of the ink amount percentages of each basic color ink contained in the target color value is 0%, which is less than the peak value 360%.
[0082] In step S10214, by Figure 2 It can be seen that, for example, when the total ink amount percentage is 360%-400%, the color performance of inkjet printing is consistent, therefore, if the sum of the ink amount percentages of each basic color ink is 400% which is greater than the peak value 360%, directly based on the peak value and the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value, inkjet printing the second color block corresponding to the target color value on the target printing medium is beneficial to save the ink amount while ensuring the consistency of the color performance of inkjet printing.
[0083] In step S103, when step S103 is performed, it can be performed according to the following steps:
[0084] Based on the peak value and each matching result, a color calibration printing configuration file is generated.
[0085] In the embodiment, the color calibration printing configuration file contains the peak value and each matching result.
[0086] In a possible implementation, after the color calibration printing profile is generated, the color calibration printing profile is used for color calibration, which can be specifically performed according to the following steps S1041-S1043:
[0087] S1041: After receiving the to-be-printed image, the color spraying device is controlled to determine, according to each color in the to-be-printed image, a color representation corresponding to the color in the color calibration printing profile;
[0088] S1042: The target color value corresponding to the color representation and the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value are taken as the color calibration inkjet printing color information;
[0089] S1043: The inkjet printing color information is used to control the color spraying device to print the color on the to-be-printed medium; the to-be-printed medium is packaging material laminated with a photovoltaic module.
[0090] In a possible implementation, before step S101 is performed, the following steps can also be performed:
[0091] S100: Color formation detection is performed on the inkjet printing performance of the color spraying device and the target ink used when the inkjet printing is performed.
[0092] In this embodiment, after the color formation detection on the inkjet printing performance of the color spraying device and the target ink used when the inkjet printing is performed is passed, step S101 and subsequent steps are continued to be performed.
[0093] In a possible implementation, the target ink includes a plurality of basic color inks; when step S101 is performed, the following steps S1001-S1003 can be specifically performed:
[0094] S1001: Based on the step color block pattern included in the step color block image, the color spraying device is controlled to inkjet print the step color block pattern on the second printing medium; the step color block pattern includes a plurality of third color blocks with color density of each basic color ink changing in steps; the second printing medium is packaging material laminated with a photovoltaic module.
[0095] S1002: The color calibration instrument is controlled to scan the inkjet printed step color block pattern on the second printing medium to obtain a first scanning image, and a linearization curve corresponding to each basic color ink is generated based on the first scanning image; the linearization curve is used to represent the color saturation of the basic color ink corresponding thereto on the packaging material.
[0096] S1003: When the color saturation of each base color ink on the encapsulating material meets the preset saturation requirement, based on the received multiple test images, control the color spraying device to spray and print the test patterns in the test images on a third printing medium; each test pattern sprayed and printed on the third printing medium is used to verify whether the inkjet printing performance of the color spraying device and the color formation detection of the target ink used during inkjet printing pass.
[0097] In step S1001, as shown in the step block pattern, the step block pattern includes multiple third blocks corresponding to the color density step changes of the respective colors of the CMYK four base color inks. Figure 4 Figure 4 The horizontal coordinate is used to represent the ink percentage of the base color ink. The greater the ink percentage, the deeper the color density of the corresponding base color ink; otherwise, the smaller the ink percentage, the lighter the color density of the corresponding base color ink. Generally, the value range of the ink percentage is 0-100%.
[0098] Figure 5 In each base color ink, a linear curve corresponding to the base color ink is used to represent the color saturation of the base color ink on the encapsulating material.
[0099] Figure 5 The trend of the linear curve corresponding to each base color ink in the step block pattern meets the normal color saturation of the base color ink on the encapsulating material (for example, when the ink percentage of the yellow ink is 100%, the vertical coordinate of the linear curve corresponding to the yellow ink should be 100 under normal circumstances), so the color saturation of each base color ink on the encapsulating material in this example meets the preset saturation requirement.
[0100] In step S1002, the horizontal coordinate of the linear curve is used to represent the ink percentage of the base color ink, and the vertical coordinate is used to represent the color saturation of the base color ink on the encapsulating material. Under normal circumstances, the greater the ink percentage of the base color ink, the higher the color saturation of the base color ink on the encapsulating material, and vice versa, the smaller the ink percentage of the base color ink, the lower the color saturation of the base color ink on the encapsulating material.
[0101] In step S1003, when the color saturation of each base color ink on the encapsulating material meets the preset saturation requirement, the test patterns sprayed and printed on the third printing medium are used to further verify whether the inkjet printing performance of the color spraying device and the color formation detection of the target ink used during inkjet printing pass. The third printing medium is the encapsulating material laminated with the photovoltaic module.
[0102] In this embodiment, the target ink is subjected to preliminary colorimetric testing in steps S1001-S1002. After the preliminary colorimetric testing is passed, the color spraying equipment and the target ink are further subjected to colorimetric testing in step S1003.
[0103] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the test patterns include: line patterns with different line thicknesses, text patterns with different font sizes, and color overlay patterns.
[0104] In this embodiment, if the line thickness in the line pattern is clear, the text in the text pattern is clear, and the color overlay in the color overlay pattern is well represented, it indicates that the inkjet printing performance of the color spraying equipment and the color of the target ink used in inkjet printing have passed the test.
[0105] In another possible implementation, after performing step S1002, the following steps may also be performed:
[0106] S1004: When the color saturation of at least one basic color ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirement, the saturation of the basic color ink that does not meet the preset saturation requirement is detected, the cleanliness of the second printing medium is detected, and the inkjet opacity of the inkjet end corresponding to the basic color ink in the color spraying equipment is detected, so as to determine the reason why the color saturation of the basic color ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirement.
[0107] S1005: After eliminating the cause that the color saturation of the base color ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirement, based on the stepped color block pattern contained in the stepped color block image, control the color spraying equipment to re-inkjet print the stepped color block pattern on a new second printing medium until the color saturation of each base color ink on the packaging material meets the preset saturation requirement. Then, continue to execute the test pattern in each test image and subsequent steps based on multiple test images, controlling the color spraying equipment to inkjet print the test pattern in each test image on a third printing medium.
[0108] In step S1004, as Figure 5 As shown, if the linearization curve corresponding to black ink has a horizontal axis of 100 (i.e., 100%) and a vertical axis of 50, it means that the trend of the linearization curve corresponding to black ink does not conform to the color saturation of the base color ink on the packaging material under normal circumstances, that is, the color saturation of black ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirements.
[0109] At this time, it is necessary to detect the saturation of the black ink itself, detect the cleanliness of the second printing medium, and detect the ink jet covering power of the ink jet end (i.e. the ink jet head) corresponding to the black ink in the color spraying device, so as to determine the reason why the color saturation of the black ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirement.
[0110] In step S1005, after excluding the reason why the color saturation of the base color ink on the packaging material does not meet the preset saturation requirement, steps S1001-S1002 are re-executed until the color saturation of each base color ink on the packaging material meets the preset saturation requirement, and then step S1013 is executed to control the color spraying device to print the test pattern in each test image on the third printing medium based on the received test images.

When greater than the peak value, the color spraying device is controlled to spray ink to print a second color block corresponding to the target color value on a target printing medium based on the peak value and the white ink amount percentage configured for the target color value; and the color calibration printing configuration file further includes the white ink amount percentage configured for each target color value. The color calibration instrument is used for controlling the color calibration instrument to scan a second color block corresponding to each target color value of the inkjet printing on the target printing medium, matching the target color value corresponding to each second color block with the color performance of the second color block, and obtaining a matching result corresponding to each target color value.
