Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection devices, and particularly relates to a fault detection device for a photovoltaic power station. Background Art
[0002] In the on-site detection of a photovoltaic power station, the EL (Electroluminescence) detection of photovoltaic modules is a very important detection item, which is a detection technology for discriminating defects of photovoltaic modules according to the electroluminescence principle of silicon materials. Specifically, a certain current is applied to the external power supply of the photovoltaic module to be detected, causing the battery cells on the photovoltaic module to emit light; if there are many hidden cracks in the battery cells, dark stripes directly related to the cracks will be formed on the light-emitting surface. Then, an EL special camera is used to take high-definition photos of the light-emitting photovoltaic module, and the morphology and size of the dark stripes are identified by optical methods to judge the qualification of the photovoltaic battery cells.
[0003] In the related art, when an EL tester is used to perform EL detection on a photovoltaic module, a tripod is usually used for fixation. This kind of EL tester can only perform EL testing on a single photovoltaic module at a time. When testing the next photovoltaic module, the tripod needs to be moved, and this testing method has low efficiency. Although using a detection robot can improve the testing efficiency, the mechanism of the detection robot is complex and the cost is high, making it difficult to promote and apply.

Four corners of the base are provided with traveling wheels for traveling along the surface of the photovoltaic module. A guiding wheel assembly is arranged on one side edge of the base. Among them, the guiding wheel assembly is rotatably arranged on the side edge of the base, and when the guiding wheel assembly rotates, it can selectively abut against the top side wall of the photovoltaic module or be located above the traveling wheels to avoid the traveling wheels.
[0007] Further, the base includes two long aluminum alloy profiles and two short aluminum alloy profiles. The two long aluminum alloy profiles and the two short aluminum alloy profiles enclose each other, and the traveling wheels are arranged at the ends of the long aluminum alloy profiles.
[0008] Further, the guide wheel assembly includes an L-shaped support plate, a guide wheel, a profile nut, and a bolt. An installation groove is provided on the side wall of the long aluminum alloy profile. The profile nut is arranged in the installation groove.

The guide wheel is arranged on the L-shaped support plate. When the L-shaped support plate is in place, the guide wheel housing either abuts against the top side wall of the photovoltaic module or is located above the traveling wheel to avoid the traveling wheel.

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0023] As Figure 1 - Figure 4 shown, the fault detection device for the photovoltaic power station of the present utility model mainly includes a base 1, a support arm 2, and an EL camera assembly 3.
[0024] The base 1 is the basic part of the detection device. It bears the entire device and ensures the stable movement of the device on the surface of the photovoltaic module. The base 1 is composed of two long aluminum alloy profiles 11 and two short aluminum alloy profiles 12. These four profiles enclose each other to form a rectangular frame. Traveling wheels 13 are installed at the ends of the long aluminum alloy profiles 11. The design of the traveling wheels 13 enables the device to move easily on the surface of the photovoltaic module, and at the same time, it can be dragged without the need to carry it during transfer.
[0025] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a guide wheel assembly 4 is provided on one side of the base 1. The guide wheel assembly 4 can rotate. When the guide wheel assembly 4 rotates to abut against the top side wall of the photovoltaic module, it can help the device maintain stability on the photovoltaic module; when it is necessary to avoid the traveling wheels 13, it can be rotated above the traveling wheels 13 to avoid interference with the traveling wheels 13 during the dragging process.
[0026] As Figure 3 shown, the specific structure of the guide wheel assembly 4 includes an L-shaped support plate 41, a guide wheel 42, a profile nut 43, and a bolt 44. An installation groove is provided on the side wall of the long aluminum alloy profile 11, and the profile nut 43 is fixed in the installation groove. The bolt 44 passes through the L-shaped support plate 41 and is connected to the profile nut 43, thereby fixing the L-shaped support plate 41 on the long aluminum alloy profile 11. The guide wheel 42 is installed on the L-shaped support plate 41 and can move as the L-shaped support plate 41 rotates.
[0027] The lower end of the support arm 2 is connected to the base 1, specifically to the swivel base 5 at the middle position of the short aluminum alloy profile 12. A positioning pin 6 is provided on the swivel base 5. The lower end of the support arm 2 is inserted into the swivel base 5 and kept in a vertical state by the positioning pin 6. This connection method enables the support arm 2 to be flipped when needed, facilitating storage and transportation.
[0028] A cross arm 7 is provided at the top of the support arm 2, and an EL camera mounting plate 8 is installed at the end of the cross arm 7. The EL camera assembly 3 is installed on the EL camera mounting plate 8 and is used to take high-definition pictures of the photovoltaic modules for subsequent optical recognition and defect discrimination.
[0029] To improve the portability of the device, a towing hook 9 is also provided on the side wall of the short aluminum alloy profile 12 to facilitate the staff to tow the base 1 for movement. At the same time, an equipment placement plate 10 is provided on one side of the base 1 away from the swivel base 5, where some auxiliary equipment or tools required for detection can be placed.
[0030] Through the above structure, the photovoltaic power station fault detection device of the present utility model can efficiently perform EL detection on photovoltaic modules, improving the detection efficiency, reducing the detection cost, and having a simple structure, being convenient for carrying and operation.
[0031] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present utility model fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
