Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic testing technology, specifically to a solar photovoltaic testing and separation device. Background Technology
[0002] A solar photovoltaic panel is a power generation device that generates direct current when exposed to sunlight. It consists of thin, solid photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials (such as silicon).
[0003] Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are composed of multiple layers of sheet materials, including tempered glass, EVA panels, solar cells, and TPT backsheets. The semiconductor materials used in these panels to generate electricity are diverse, including monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, and cadmium telluride. After the PV panels are manufactured, due to uncertainty about whether the assembly process has damaged any of the individual panels, and to assess the quality of the batch, sampling inspections are typically required. These inspections differ depending on the constituent materials, such as checking for dirt and scratches on the tempered glass and EVA panels, and verifying the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cells. This necessitates the separation of the entire solar PV panel into individual panels. This process is generally manual, labor-intensive, and the high cost of existing separation equipment limits its availability. Therefore, we propose a solar PV panel separation and inspection device.

[0013] Preferably, the storage component includes a limiting part and a advancing part.

One end of each dual-output shaft motor is fixed with a rod two, a shaft one is installed on each rod two, a rod three is installed on each shaft one, and a placement block is fixed at the top of each rod three. Each placement block has several placement slots. The part also includes limiting plates installed opposite to each other on both sides of the placement block. A laser emitter and a receiving sensor are respectively installed in the first opposite placement slot.
[0015] Preferably, the progressive section includes a V-shaped frame fixed to the dual-output shaft motor. Bearings are installed at both ends of the V-shaped frame, and a rod four is installed through the center of each bearing. Gear two is installed on both the rod four and the output shaft of the dual-output shaft motor. A hinge is installed between the gear two. Rod five is installed on each rod four, and shaft two is installed through each rod five. A frame is installed on each shaft two, and the frame is connected to the two shaft two. A plurality of partitions are fixed on the frame.
[0016] Preferably, the placement component includes a gantry frame mounted on the support body, a slide rail mounted on the gantry frame, an electric push rod one mounted on the slide rail, the electric push rod one passing through the slide rail, a fixed seat mounted on the electric push rod, a servo motor two mounted on the fixed seat, the output shaft of the servo motor two passing through the fixed seat, a gear three mounted on the servo motor two, a bracket two mounted on the gantry frame, the bracket two having a toothed groove, the gear three meshing with the toothed groove, and a flipping adsorption component mounted on the electric push rod one.

[0020] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: With the assistance of the correction component, the staff only needs to place the material board on the conveyor belt and it will be automatically centered and aligned. Then, with the assistance of the illumination lamp and photosensitive receiver of the identification component, the material board is accurately distinguished according to the different light transmittance between different materials. During the process of the camera identifying some opaque battery boards, it can also perform secondary confirmation on other light-transmitting boards, further reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
[0021] When the placement component places the material boards into the corresponding storage components, it always places them in a fixed position, reducing the distance that the electric push rod needs to extend and minimizing the possibility of them touching other components or objects during the placement and flipping process. Furthermore, if there are material boards placed in the first placement slot of the placement component, they will automatically move to the adjacent placement slot. In contrast, traditional equipment requires placement one by one, and the electric push rod retracts gradually. Each retraction distance needs to be precisely controlled, leading to a higher failure rate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a solar photovoltaic testing and separation device, comprising a support body 1 and a conveyor belt 11 mounted on the support body 1, and further comprising:
[0035] Correction component 2 is installed on the support body 1. Correction component 2 centers and aligns the material plate on the conveyor belt 11 with the two conveyor belts 11.
[0036] Identification component 3 is installed on the support body 1. Identification component 3 identifies the type of material board on the conveyor belt 11 by the different light transmittance and appearance differences between the material boards.
[0037] Support plate 4 is installed on bracket body 1, and long block 41 is fixed on support plate 4;
[0038] Storage component 6, there are several storage components 6, installed on the support body 1 and connected to the support plate 4, respectively store the classified material plates and gradually move the material plates inward;
[0039] Placement component 5 is installed on the support body 1. Placement component 5 places the materials on the conveyor belt 11 into the corresponding storage component 6 respectively.
[0040] The console 7 is mounted on the bracket body 1 and is electrically connected to the identification component 3, the storage component 6, and the placement component 5.
[0041] Console 7 is existing technology. Those skilled in the art can control the opening or closing of the drive source of each component through simple programming, so it will not be described in detail.
[0042] The correction component 2 includes a bracket 21 fixed on the bracket body 1. A pressing block 22 is installed through the bracket 21. A rack 23 is installed on each pressing block 22. The racks 23 are arranged opposite each other. A servo motor 24 is installed on the bracket 21. A gear 25 is installed on the drive shaft of the servo motor 24. The gear 25 meshes with the rack 23. A number of limit rods 26 are arranged opposite each other on the bracket 21. A distance sensor 27 is installed opposite each other on the pressing block 22. An identification probe 28 is installed on the bracket 21.
[0043] The rack 23 and the extrusion block 22 are fixedly connected, and the limiting rod 26 and the bracket 21 are fixedly connected. This plate separating device is used in conjunction with a traditional assembly line. After the workers separate the photovoltaic panels at the workstation, they place them directly on the traditional conveyor belt. When the material plate enters the conveyor belt 11 of this device, the identification probe 28 detects that an object has passed by and sends a signal to the control console 7. Then, the servo motor 24 starts and drives the gear 25 to rotate. The gear 25 drives the extrusion block 22 to move relative to the rack 23. When the extrusion block 22 just clamps the material plate, the two distance sensors 27 are at the same distance from the material plate. At this time, the material plate is centered and aligned with the two conveyor belts 11. The servo motor 24 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the extrusion block 22 to return to its original position. The limiting rod 26 and the smooth surface of the rack 23 are in contact to prevent the rack 23 from not meshing tightly with the gear 25 during long-term use.
[0044] The identification component 3 includes a support rod 31 fixed on the support body 1, the support rod 31 is located between two conveyor belts 11, a support column 32 is installed on the support rod 31, a photosensitive receiver 33 is installed on the support column 32, and also includes an illumination lamp 34 installed on the support body 1, the illumination lamp 34 is arranged opposite to the photosensitive receiver 33, and a camera 35 is provided on the support body 1.
[0045] During the process of servo motor 24 driving the extrusion block 22 to return to its original position, the conveyor belt 11 will continue to transport the material plate forward. That is, a few seconds after servo motor 24 starts to rotate in the opposite direction (the speed of the conveyor belt 11 is set accordingly), the control console 7 drives the illumination lamp 34 to turn on. At this time, the material plate is located between the illumination lamp 34 and the photosensitive receiver 33. The light emitted by the illumination lamp 34 identifies the material plate according to the different light transmittance between the material plates. Since some solar panels are not transparent, in order to distinguish whether they are composed of monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon or other materials, the camera 35 identifies them.
[0046] The storage component 6 includes a limiting part 60 and a advancing part 61.
[0047] The limiting part 60 includes a dual-output shaft motor 601 respectively mounted on the bracket body 1 and the long block 41. One end of each dual-output shaft motor 601 is fixed with a second rod 602. A first shaft 603 is mounted on each second rod 602. A third rod 604 is mounted on each first shaft 603. A placement block 605 is mounted on the top of each third rod 604. The connection between the top of the third rod 604 and the placement block 605 is rotatably connected. Several placement slots 606 are opened on each placement block 605. It also includes a limiting plate 607 installed opposite to each other on both sides of the placement block 605. A laser emitter 608 and a receiving sensor 609 are respectively installed in the first opposite placement slot 606.
[0048] The dual-axis motor 601 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 1 and the long block 41. When the dual-axis motor 601 rotates, it drives the second rod 602 to rotate. During the rotation of the second rod 602, the tail end of the second rod 602 drives the tail end of the third rod 604 to rotate synchronously. Due to the clamping of the placement block 605 by the limiting plate 607, the placement block 605 can only move in a straight line. That is, during the rotation of the second rod 602, the third rod 604 pushes or pulls the placement block 605 forward or backward. When the receiving sensor 609 can receive the signal from the laser emitter 608, it means that no material plate is placed in the first placement slot 606. At this time, the placement blocks 605 are at the minimum distance, clamping and supporting the material plates in the other placement slots 606.
[0049] The advancing section 61 includes a V-shaped frame 611 fixed on the dual-output shaft motor 601. Bearings 612 are installed at both ends of the V-shaped frame 611. A rod 613 is installed through the center of each bearing 612. Gears 614 are installed on both the rod 613 and the output shaft of the dual-output shaft motor 601. A hinge 615 is installed between the gears 614. A rod 616 is installed on each rod 613. A shaft 617 is installed through each rod 616. A frame 618 is installed on the shaft 617. The frame 618 is connected to the two shafts 617. A partition 619 is fixed on the frame 618. There are several partitions 619.
[0050] V-shaped bracket 611 is fixed to the housing of dual-output shaft motor 601. When a material plate is placed in the first-end placement slot 606, the dual-output shaft motor 601 is activated, driving gear two 614 to rotate. Gear two 614 drives rod four 613 to rotate via hinge 615. Rod four 613 drives rod five 616 to rotate. During the rotation of rod five 616, its tail end drives shaft two 617 to rotate synchronously around its corresponding rod four 613. The frame body 618 connects shaft two 617, meaning the frame body 618 drives partition 619 to perform the same circular motion. The extension directions of rod five 616 and rod two 602 are opposite, meaning the distance between the placement blocks 605 is closest. When clamping and supporting the material plate, partition 619 moves away from the material plate and does not interfere with the material plate. When the material plates interfere with each other, and the placement block 605 is furthest away and does not clamp or support the material, the partition plate 619 is closest to the material plate and clamps the material plate, keeping it in a supported state. As the placement blocks 605 move away from each other, the partition plate 619 rotates and pushes the material plate backward a certain distance, emptying the placement slot 606 at the first end to facilitate the placement of the next material plate. It should be noted that a sensor also needs to be installed in the placement slot 606 at the tail end. When the presence of a material plate is detected at both the first and tail ends, the placement slot 606 is full, the conveyor belt 11 will stop working, and an alarm will be sounded to remind the staff to remove the material. This is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.
[0051] The placement component 5 includes a gantry frame 51 fixed on the support body 1, a slide rail 52 mounted on the gantry frame 51, an electric push rod 53 mounted on the slide rail 52, the electric push rod 53 passing through the slide rail 52, a fixed seat 54 mounted on the electric push rod 53, a servo motor 55 mounted on the fixed seat 54, the output shaft of the servo motor 55 passing through the fixed seat 54, a gear 56 mounted on the servo motor 55, a bracket 57 mounted on the gantry frame 51, a toothed groove 58 on the bracket 57, and the gear 56 meshing with the toothed groove 58. It also includes a flipping adsorption component 500 mounted on the electric push rod 53.
[0052] Once the material of the material board is identified, servo motor 2 55 is activated, driving gear 3 56 to rotate, thereby causing gear 3 56 to move on the tooth groove 58, which in turn drives the entire electric push rod 1 53 to move.
[0053] The flipping adsorption component 500 includes a fixed cover 501 mounted on the top of an electric push rod 53. A servo motor 502 is mounted on the fixed cover 501. The output shaft of the servo motor 502 passes through the fixed cover 501. A rotating plate 503 is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 502. An electric push rod 602 is mounted on the rotating plate 503. A suction cup 504 is mounted on the top of the electric push rod 602. A vacuum generator 505 is mounted on the fixed cover 501. An air pipe 506 is connected to the vacuum generator 505. The other end of the air pipe 506 is connected to the suction cup 504.
[0054] When the electric push rod 53 moves to the middle position of the material plate, it extends, causing the fixing cover 501 to move downwards synchronously. The fixing cover 501 then causes the electric push rod 602 to move downwards, bringing the suction cup 504 into contact with the material plate. Subsequently, the vacuum generator 505 is activated, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup 504 to adsorb the material plate. Then, the electric push rod 53 retracts upwards, causing the material plate to rise synchronously via the suction cup 504. Finally, the servo motor 55 is activated, causing the material plate to rise synchronously via the electric push rod 53. Move to the corresponding placement block 605 position, then servo motor 3 502 is turned on, driving the rotating plate 503 to rotate 90°, so that the material plate is horizontal with the placement slot 606. Electric push rod 2 602 extends to align the material plate with the first placement slot 606. Then electric push rod 1 53 extends again to lock the material plate into the first placement slot 606. At this time, vacuum generator 505 injects gas into suction cup 504 to detach the suction cup 504 from the material plate. Then return to the original position and perform the same operation on the next material plate.
[0055] The control console 7 is electrically connected to servo motor 1 24, servo motor 2 55, servo motor 3 502, electric actuator 1 53, electric actuator 2 602, vacuum generator 505, and illumination lamp 34.
[0056] The illumination lamp 34 is turned on when the material plate passes under it and turned off after identification is complete.
[0057] To avoid situations where the gaps between material boards are not shielded, the photosensitive receiver 33 is exposed to the illumination lamp 34 for a long time, which would shorten its service life.
