[0002] In the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules (solar modules), finished product testing is one of the key links to ensure product quality. This process involves powering on the photovoltaic modules to verify whether their electrical performance meets the established standards. In order to implement this test, the power-on tooling plays an important role. It forms a closed circuit by accurately docking with the male and female heads of the photovoltaic module junction box to achieve power transmission. However, this docking process has certain technical challenges.

[0003] Referring to the problems disclosed in Chinese patent CN 116365335 A, the current docking mechanism between the junction box connector of the solar module and the power-on tooling faces several limitations. This mechanism mainly relies on a spring device to adjust the width of the connector to adapt to the junction box. At the same time, in actual operation, it is also necessary to use a manipulator to apply force from different angles to ensure a tight connection. This design is not only complex in structure and increases the difficulty of operation, but also due to its high reliance on the elastic control of a single spring, it is easy to cause unstable clamping effect and even frequent connection failure. This not only affects production efficiency, but may also pose a threat to the electrical safety and long-term reliability of the components. Therefore, exploring more efficient and reliable docking solutions has become an urgent need in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a solar module wiring test power-on tooling, two power sockets 2 are provided on the main rod body 3, the power sockets 2 are connected to the power connection head of the solar panel 1, V-shaped clamps 6 are provided at both ends of the main rod body 3, the V-shaped clamps 6 are slidably connected to the ends of the main rod body 3, a motor 10 is also provided inside the main rod body 3, a screw 12 is provided at the output end of the motor 10, the screw 12 is threadedly connected to the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6, a detachable battery 4 is also provided on the main rod body 3, and a distance sensor 7 is also provided at the bottom of the main rod body 3, the distance sensor 7 and the motor 10 are electrically connected to the control circuit, and the control circuit is electrically connected to the battery 4.

[0023] When the gripper of the robot moves the main rod body 3 close to the position of the solar panel 1, the distance sensor 7 senses the preset distance, and the motor 10 rotates to drive the V-shaped groove of the V-shaped clamp 6 to clamp on the side of the solar panel 1. The battery 4 on the main rod body 3 can be replaced and can also be electrically connected to the power socket 2. The power socket 2 can also be charged when it is connected to the terminal of the solar panel 1, and the battery 4 can also be removed separately for charging.

[0024] In the preferred embodiment, both ends of the main rod body 3 are further provided with an adjusting head 5, one end of the adjusting head 5 is slidably sleeved with the main rod body 3, the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6 is slidably sleeved with the other end of the adjusting head 5, and the motor 10 is arranged inside the adjusting head 5. For a particularly wide solar panel 1, the length of the adjusting head 5 can be adjusted so that the V-shaped clamp 6 can be clamped on the side of the solar panel 1.

[0025] The two ends of the main rod body 3 are specially provided with an adjusting head 5, wherein one end of the adjusting head 5 is connected to the main rod body 3 by a sliding sleeve, and the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6 is designed to be slidably sleeved with the other end of the adjusting head 5. What is particularly clever is that the motor 10 is cleverly built into the internal structure of the adjusting head 5. This unique design allows the operator to easily adjust the telescopic length of the adjusting head 5 when encountering a solar panel 1 whose width exceeds the conventional width, thereby changing the relative position of the V-shaped clamp 6 and the side of the solar panel 1, ensuring that even when facing an extra-wide panel, the V-shaped clamp 6 can be firmly and accurately clamped on its side, showing good adaptability and operational flexibility. This design not only optimizes the docking process, but also expands the size range of applicable solar panels, improving the versatility and practicality of the equipment.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a second screw 9 is provided on the main rod body 3 , and the second screw 9 passes through the main rod body 3 and abuts against the adjusting head 5 to fix the adjusting head 5 . The second screw 9 is used to fix the position of the adjusting head 5 .

[0027] In the preferred embodiment, the adjusting head 5 is further provided with a first screw 8, which passes through the adjusting head 5 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting head 5. The first screw 8 is only used to temporarily fix the position of the V-shaped clamp 6. When adjusting the length of the adjusting head 5, the V-shaped clamp 6 can be extended to the longest position. The first screw 8 fixes the position of the V-shaped clamp 6 to measure the width of the extra-wide solar panel 1, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the head 5.

[0028] The innovative design of the adjustment head 5 is further refined, and a first screw 8 is specially added, which passes through the adjustment head 5 and is threadedly connected thereto. The subtlety of this design lies in that the first screw 8 serves to temporarily lock the position of the V-shaped clamp 6. In specific applications, when it is necessary to adapt to an extra-wide solar panel 1, the operator first extends the V-shaped clamp 6 to the farthest end through the adjustment mechanism, and then temporarily fixes the position of the V-shaped clamp 6 with the first screw 8. This not only ensures the accuracy when measuring the actual width of the extra-wide solar panel 1, but also facilitates the precise adjustment of the length of the adjustment head 5 based on the measurement results, so as to achieve the purpose of perfectly matching the side of the solar panel. This detailed design greatly simplifies the adjustment process for solar panels of different sizes, and improves the adaptability and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0029] In the preferred embodiment, the outer ring of the inner hole opening of the adjusting head 5 is provided with a limit platform 501, and the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6 is provided with a limit block 601, which abuts against the upper limit of the limit platform 501 to limit the sliding distance of the V-shaped clamp 6.

[0030] In the preferred embodiment, a spring 11 is provided between the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6 and the bottom of the inner hole of the adjusting head 5. The spring 11 increases the pushing force, and the screw 12 can be disassembled after the motor 10 is damaged. The spring 11 can also continue the clamping work.

[0031] A spring 11 is arranged between the sliding end of the V-shaped clamp 6 and the bottom of the inner hole of the adjusting head 5. This design further enhances the reliability and functionality of the system. The existence of the spring 11 not only provides the necessary resilience for the movement of the V-shaped clamp 6, ensuring stable contact pressure during docking and clamping of the solar panel 1, but also provides an emergency mechanism when the motor 10 fails or requires maintenance. Even if the motor fails to work, the spring 11 can still play a role by manually disassembling the screw 12, maintaining a certain clamping force, ensuring that the basic fixing function can still be achieved in an emergency, thereby not affecting the temporary installation or testing requirements of the solar panel. Such a design improves the adaptability and continuous operation capability of the equipment under different working conditions, ensuring the continuity and safety of the work.

[0032] The above embodiments are only preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be regarded as limitations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
