Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated detection device, in particular to an automated detection device for the production of photovoltaic component frames. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum frames for photovoltaic modules are used to secure and seal the modules, enhance module strength, extend service life, and facilitate transportation and installation. After production, the aluminum frames themselves undergo rigorous testing to ensure their protective effect on the photovoltaic modules.

[0003] The current detection devices mainly have the following commonly recognized defects: when using traditional detection devices, since the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic module needs to be inspected as a whole, it is necessary to reduce the space occupied by the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic module when being clamped during inspection, thereby improving the overall inspection effect of the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic module. However, the traditional automatic detection device cannot more effectively perform comprehensive inspection of the entire aluminum frame of the photovoltaic module, thereby reducing the inspection effect of the overall detection device; and after the inspection is completed, it is not conducive to transporting the photovoltaic module frame to another production station.

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention designs an automated detection device for photovoltaic module frame production. Summary of the Invention

The U-shaped plate is fixed on the main frame, and a number of evenly distributed conveying shafts are rotatably installed in the U-shaped plate. A conveying roller is fixedly installed on each of the conveying shafts. One end of the conveying shaft extends to the outside of the U-shaped plate and is fixedly installed with a turntable. The turntables are connected by a first transmission belt. A driving motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the U-shaped plate, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to one of the conveying shafts. The conveying rollers on the two horizontal conveying devices rotate in opposite directions.

[0014] Preferably, four Z-axis screw rods distributed in a rectangular array are rotatably installed in the main frame, and lifting blocks are threadedly installed on the four Z-axis screw rods.
