[0002] During the fixing process of the mirror surface of a heliostat, a backboard is usually required to fix the mirror surface. The flatness of the heliostat backboard is crucial for the overall performance of the heliostat. A flat backboard can ensure that the mirror reflection performance of the heliostat is uniform, thereby improving the solar energy collection efficiency.
[0003] After the production of the heliostat backboard is completed, it needs to be transported from the factory to the mirror factory and adhesively assembled with the mirror surface. During the production or transportation of the backboard, the heliostat backboard may be deformed due to collision. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the flatness of the heliostat backboard before adhesively bonding the backboard of the heliostat to the mirror surface.
[0004] Currently, the flatness of the heliostat backboard is detected by manually carrying the heliostat backboard to the detection equipment for detection, and the qualified heliostat backboards are adhesively bonded to the mirror surface. To achieve the automatic detection of the flatness of the heliostat backboard, there is currently a lack of a heliostat backboard storage device that can cooperate with a robotic arm to store unqualified heliostat backboards.

[0006] Specifically, the frame body includes a bottom frame, columns installed on the bottom frame, and cross beams connected between the columns.
[0007] Specifically, the installation frame includes a support rod and a mounting plate arranged on the support rod. The support rod is fixedly installed on the column through a U-shaped plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the support rod through bolts.
[0008] Specifically, the transverse limiting groove is arranged at an inner position of the mounting plate. The transverse limiting groove includes a first transverse limiting groove and a second transverse limiting groove.

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. The following describes the specific implementation of the present utility model in detail with specific embodiments.
[0018] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.
[0019] As shown in the figure, a heliostat backplane recycling rack includes a frame body. A plurality of parallel installation frames are arranged at the front end of the frame body. A transverse limiting groove for fixing the heliostat backplane 13 is arranged in the installation frame. A support arm 5 is arranged on one side of the installation frame. A longitudinal limiting groove 8 for fixing the heliostat backplane 13 is arranged in the support arm 5. On the same side as the support arm 5, a fixing plate 9 is arranged on the installation frame, and a sensor 10 is installed on the fixing plate 9. This recycling rack cooperates with a robotic arm. The heliostat backplane 13 with unqualified flatness is transported to the recycling rack by the robotic arm for storage through the back of the heliostat, realizing the automatic recycling of the unqualified heliostat backplane 13.
[0020] The frame body includes a bottom frame 1, columns 2 installed on the bottom frame 1, and a cross beam 11 connected between the columns 2. There are two columns 2, and the installation frames are fixedly installed on the columns 2. One backplane can be installed in each layer of installation frame. The installation frame includes a support rod 3 and a mounting plate 4 arranged on the support rod 3. A U-shaped plate is arranged at one end of the support rod 3. The U-shaped plate is arranged vertically, and the U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the column 2 with bolts. The support is fixedly installed on the column 2 through the U-shaped plate. The mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the support rod 3 with bolts. At the inner position of the mounting plate 4, a transverse limiting groove for fixing the heliostat backplane 13 is arranged. Since the backplanes of heliostats have different sizes, a first transverse limiting groove 6 and a second transverse limiting groove 7 are respectively arranged on the mounting plate 4. When the larger heliostat backplane 13 is placed on the recycling rack, the long side of the heliostat backplane 13 is engaged in the first transverse limiting groove 6. When the larger backplane is placed on the recycling rack, the long side of the heliostat is engaged in the second transverse limiting groove 7. A support portion 12 is arranged at the front end of the mounting plate 4, and the height of the support portion 12 is flush with the height of the transverse limiting groove.
[0021] A support arm 5 is arranged on one side of the installation frame. One end of the support arm 5 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4 with bolts. A longitudinal limiting groove 8 is arranged in the support arm 5, and the short side of the heliostat backplane 13 is engaged in the longitudinal limiting groove 8. Chamfers are arranged at the edges of the transverse limiting groove and the longitudinal limiting groove 8. The heliostat backplane 13 is fixed by the transverse limiting groove arranged on the installation frame and the longitudinal limiting groove 8 arranged on the support arm 5.
[0022] On the side wall of the mounting frame, a fixing plate 9 is provided on the same side as the support arm 5, and a sensor 10 is provided on the fixing plate 9. For backplates of different sizes, their left and right positions are fixed through the longitudinal limiting groove 8, and their front and back positions are fixed in the first limiting groove or the second limiting groove according to the size of the backplate. The distance from the long side of the heliostat to the adhesive plate 14 matches the distance from the transverse limiting groove to the adhesive plate 14, so that the sensor 10 is arranged below the adhesive plate 14 of the backplates of heliostats of different sizes. The sensor 10 can be a proximity sensor 10, an ultrasonic sensor 10, a photoelectric sensor 10, etc. The sensor 10 is electrically connected to the controller. When the robotic arm places the backplate on the mounting frame, the sensor 10 senses that there is a heliostat backplate 13 at this position and transmits the information to the controller. The controller sequentially judges whether there is a heliostat backplate 13 on the mounting frame of each recycling rack, and places the heliostat in the mounting frame at the vacant position in sequence.
[0023] During use, the controller controls the robotic arm to clamp the heliostat backplate 13 with unqualified quality. The controller sequentially judges whether there is a heliostat backplate 13 on the mounting frame of each recycling rack, and places the backplate at the vacant position. According to the size of the heliostat backplate 13, the edges of the heliostat backplate 13 are respectively aligned with the transverse limiting groove and the longitudinal limiting groove 8, and the heliostat is placed in the mounting frame. The sensor 10 detects that there is a heliostat backplate 13 at this position and transmits the detection signal to the controller. The above steps are repeated to realize the automatic recycling of the unqualified heliostat backplates 13.
[0024] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution content of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
