[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a solar panel detection platform, including a base 1, a conveyor frame 3 is set in the middle of the upper end surface of the base 1, and a conveyor belt 4 for horizontally conveying solar panels is installed on the conveyor frame 3, and docking grooves 101 are opened at the front and rear ends of the base 1 corresponding to the two ends of the conveyor belt 4, and the docking grooves 101 can be conveniently placed in the box for storing solar panels to facilitate loading and unloading, and a vertical fixing frame 2 is fixed on the side of the base 1, and a controller 201 is arranged on the fixing frame 2, and the controller 201 includes a PLC controller and a touch screen, which can perform integrated control on the whole device.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a cleaning frame 5 , an adjustment frame 6 and two visual inspection modules 7 are sequentially arranged on the conveying frame 3 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 4 .

[0040] Among them, with Figure 4 As shown, a cleaning roller 504 is elastically mounted on the lower end surface of the cleaning rack 5, and the cleaning roller 504 is parallel to the upper end surface of the conveyor belt 4. Specifically, a movable column 501 is vertically inserted in the middle of the cleaning rack 5, and a horizontal mounting plate 502 is fixed to the lower end of the movable column 501, and the two ends of the mounting plate 502 are vertically slidably abutted against the inner walls of both sides of the cleaning rack 5, and the cleaning roller 504 is rotatably mounted on the lower end surface of the mounting plate 502, and a spring 503 is sleeved on the movable column 501, and the top end of the spring 503 is fixed to the lower end surface of the cleaning rack 5, and the bottom of the spring 503 abuts against the upper end surface of the mounting plate 502. Therefore, the surface of the solar panel passing under the cleaning rack 5 can be cleaned by the cleaning roller 504 elastically mounted on the lower end surface of the cleaning rack 5.

[0041] Cooperate Figure 3 As shown, two adjustment racks 6 are provided and symmetrically fixed on both sides of the conveying rack 3, and the opposite sides of the two adjustment racks 6 are provided with alignment racks 602 that can translate in mirror symmetry. Specifically, a horizontal cylinder 601 is fixed on the top of the adjustment rack 6 away from the conveyor belt 4, and the shaft of the cylinder 601 horizontally passes through the top of the adjustment rack 6 and is fixed to the middle of the alignment rack 602, and the alignment rack 602 is rotated toward one side of the conveyor belt 4 and is installed with a plurality of vertical alignment rollers 603. Therefore, the alignment rack 602 can be controlled by the cylinder 601 to move toward the middle of the conveyor belt 4 to adjust the position of the solar panel transported on the conveyor belt 4.

[0042] Cooperate Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the visual inspection module 7 includes a detection frame 8, a light shield 9 and a camera holder 10. The detection frame 8 is an L-shaped frame structure and is erected directly above the conveyor belt 4. The light shield 9 is fixed to the lower end surface of the top of the detection frame 8 and supports and covers a section of the upper end surface of the conveyor belt 4. The bottom of the light shield 9 corresponds to the conveying route of the conveyor belt 4 and is provided with a notch for the solar panel to enter. A curtain 901 is provided in the notch so that the solar panel can enter the light shield 9 under the conveyance of the conveyor belt 4.

[0043] The camera holder 10 is fixed to the top upper end surface of the detection frame 8, and the camera holder 10 is connected to a plurality of visual inspection cameras 1003 distributed at the top of the light shield 9.

A plurality of racks 1002 are symmetrically fixed around the lower end surface of the mounting plate 1001, and a plurality of visual inspection cameras 1003 are movably mounted on the racks 1002. Therefore, a plurality of visual inspection cameras 1003 with adjustable positions can be used to take multi-directional photos of the solar panels after the light shielding treatment in the light shield 9, and in specific implementation, the visual inspection camera 1003 can be a near-infrared (NIR) camera, and is matched with a controllable fill light.

[0044] The working principle provided by the utility model is that the solar panel detection platform can place the solar panel at the input end of the conveyor belt 4 for transportation when in use, first pass through the cleaning rack 5 set up on the conveyor belt 4, and use the movable column 501, the mounting plate 502 and the cleaning roller 504 elastically mounted by the spring 503 to wipe and clean the surface of the solar panel, so as to keep the surface clean, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of subsequent visual inspection.

[0045] At the same time, after the solar panels are cleaned, they will be transported between the two adjustment racks 6. At this time, the cylinder 601 controls the movement of the alignment rack 602, so that the alignment roller 603 is used to synchronously abut from both sides of the solar panels to adjust the position of the solar panels on the conveyor belt 4, which is beneficial to ensure the visual inspection effect of the solar panels in the sunshade 9.

[0046] After adjusting its position, the conveyor belt 4 will enter the light shield 9 through the notch at the bottom of the light shield 9, and cover the solar panel to be inspected through the light shield 9 to avoid interference from external light. Then, the multiple visual inspection cameras 1003 connected to the camera holder 10 are used to capture images of the solar panel and compare them with the built-in database, so as to quickly realize the visual inspection of the solar panel. In addition, the setting of two sets of visual inspection modules 7 can further ensure the visual inspection effect of the solar panel.

[0047] In summary, the device can automatically clean and adjust the solar panels, and then use the camera to acquire images and perform comparative detection, thereby realizing rapid visual inspection of the solar panels. It is not only highly efficient, but also can avoid the problem of neglecting details in manual visual inspection to a certain extent, and the overall use effect is good.
