[0047] Refer to the appendix Figure 1, this embodiment discloses a photovoltaic cell detection device, which includes an air floating plate 1, a first conveyor wheel group 2, a second conveyor wheel group 3, and an image acquisition unit 4.

[0048] Specifically, in order to solve the problem that existing photovoltaic cells need to be inspected manually before leaving the factory, but the inspection efficiency is low and the accuracy is not high, which affects the production efficiency of the production line and the product quality. This embodiment provides a photovoltaic cell detection device, which realizes the automatic and non-contact transmission of the photovoltaic cell 5 through the cooperation of the air floating plate 1, the first conveyor wheel group 2 and the second conveyor wheel group 3, and the image acquisition unit 5 is arranged correspondingly, so as to realize the automatic image acquisition and automatic defect analysis of the photovoltaic cell 5 on the air floating plate 1, thereby realizing automatic inspection, which not only improves the inspection efficiency but also can improve the inspection accuracy by the high precision of the image acquisition unit 5.

[0050] Among them, the air flotation plate 1 can form a stable air film by outgassing to achieve non-contact support for the object above, which can reduce the wear and pollution caused by contact or film materials; in this embodiment, the first surface of the air flotation plate 1 is the upper surface, which is provided with a plurality of air flotation holes 11 to achieve gas output, and the shape, size and distribution of the air flotation holes 11 are not limited here, and can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that they can support the photovoltaic cell 5 after outgassing; in this embodiment, the air flotation plate 1 can be connected to a gas compressor to obtain gas supply, and the gas used in this embodiment can be but not limited to air or inert gas.

[0051] Among them, the first transmission wheel 21 can be but not limited to a rigid wheel or a wheel body with a certain elasticity. The first transmission wheel 21 is a circular wheel body, which can rotate around the first direction a, and the first transmission wheel 21 is provided on both sides of the air floating plate 1 along the first direction a, so that the first transmission wheel 21 can transmit the photovoltaic cell 5 along the first direction a during the rotation process; in this process, the air outlet of the air floating plate 1 is cooperated to further support the photovoltaic cell 5, thereby effectively reducing the contact pressure between the first transmission wheel 21 and the photovoltaic cell 5, avoiding friction and wear, so that the photovoltaic cell 5 is close to contactless transmission during the transmission process, and unnecessary damage or defects of the photovoltaic cell 5 during the detection process are avoided.

[0052] The second transmission wheel 31 may be, but is not limited to, a rigid wheel or a wheel body with a certain elasticity. The second transmission wheel 31 is a circular wheel body, which can rotate around the second direction b, and the second transmission wheels 31 are provided on both sides of the air floating plate 1 along the first direction a, so that the second transmission wheel 31 can contact the side wall of the photovoltaic cell 5 during the rotation process, which can not only cooperate with the transmission of the photovoltaic cell 5 along the first direction a, but also guide the transmission of the photovoltaic cell 5 along the first direction a, so as to avoid the photovoltaic cell 5 from being offset or shifting in the contactless transmission state between the first transmission wheel 21 and the air floating plate 1, thereby affecting the image acquisition accuracy of the subsequent image acquisition unit 4; in this embodiment, the second transmission wheel 31 can be arranged on the side of the first transmission wheel 21 away from the air floating plate 1 along the first direction a or the opposite direction of the first direction a, so that when the first transmission wheel 21 supports the bottom surface of the photovoltaic cell 5, the second transmission wheel 31 can also contact the side wall of the photovoltaic cell 5, and the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 31 will not interfere with each other.

[0053] Among them, the image acquisition unit 4 is an integrated device capable of image acquisition and image processing. In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit 4 may include, but is not limited to, an image acquisition device 41 and an image processor 42; the image acquisition device 41 may be, but is not limited to, a camera, a video camera, a CCD camera, etc., which can convert an optical image into an analog / digital image to lay the foundation for subsequent analysis and processing by the image processor 42; the image processor 42 is capable of performing image processing and analysis on the analog / digital image provided by the image acquisition device 41 using a convolutional neural network (CNN), including feature recognition and matching analysis to obtain defect parameters. In this embodiment, the defect parameters at least include defect type, defect location, and defect size. For example, the color feature can be recognized by using the histogram intersection method or the distance method; the relationship between pixel points in the image and their neighboring pixel points can be statistically analyzed by using methods such as gray-level co-occurrence matrix and local binary pattern to recognize texture features; the shape feature can be recognized by using the boundary feature method or the region feature method; the spatial position or relative position relationship between multiple features, including connection or adjacency relationship, overlap or overlapping relationship, etc., can be analyzed and described in cooperation with the spatial coordinate system; and then the type of the feature, that is, fragment, hidden crack, notch, scratch, etc., can be determined by comparing the recognized feature with the known feature; the above image processing process can be easily understood and implemented by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] According to the above, the photovoltaic cell detection device provided by the present disclosure cooperates with the air floating plate 1 to perform non-contact transmission on the photovoltaic cell 5 through the first conveyor wheel group 2 and the second conveyor wheel group 3, and at the same time uses the image acquisition unit 4 to perform automatic and high-precision defect detection, realizing automated detection, which not only improves the detection efficiency but also ensures the detection accuracy. It effectively solves the problem that the existing photovoltaic cells need to be manually inspected before leaving the factory, but the detection efficiency is low and the accuracy is not high, which affects the production efficiency of the production line and the product quality.

[0055] In this article, the term "and / or" only describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating three possible relationships that can exist. For example, A and / or B is specifically understood as: A and B can be included simultaneously, A can exist alone, or B can exist alone, and any one of the above three situations can be satisfied.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to the attached Figure 2 , in the photovoltaic cell detection device provided in this embodiment, in a specific implementation, the first conveyor wheel 21 and the second conveyor wheel 31 are staggered along the second direction b.

[0057] It can be understood that, in order to ensure the smooth rotation and transmission of the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 31, in this embodiment, the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 31 on the same side of the air-floating plate 1 are arranged in a staggered manner along the second direction b. Furthermore, not only can the mutual interference between the two be avoided, but also a relay transmission form can be formed, that is Figure 2 As shown, after the first transmission wheel 21 on the leftmost side rotates clockwise to transmit the photovoltaic cell 5 to the right, the second transmission wheel 31 relays the transmission to transmit the photovoltaic cell 5 to the second first transmission wheel 21 on the right side. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the transmission force and guiding effect, the number of the first transmission wheels 21 can be effectively reduced, and the setting cost can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0058] In some embodiments, for the photovoltaic cell detection device provided in this embodiment, in specific implementation, the axial dimension of the second transmission wheel 31 is at least a part of the thickness of the photovoltaic cell 5.

[0059] It can be understood that, in order to ensure the guiding effect of the second transmission wheel 31 on the photovoltaic cell 5, in this embodiment, the axial dimension of the second transmission wheel 31 is set to be at least a part of the thickness of the photovoltaic cell 5. The axial dimension of the second transmission wheel 31 refers to the dimension of its wheel surface in its axial direction. The above setting enables the wheel surface of the second transmission wheel 31 to contact at least part of the side wall of the photovoltaic cell 5 along the thickness direction of the photovoltaic cell 5, so as to play a guiding role; of course, the dimension of the axial surface of the second transmission wheel 31 in its axial direction can also be set to be greater than the dimension in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic cell 5 to ensure comprehensive contact guiding.

[0060] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 1 figure, for the photovoltaic cell detection device provided in this embodiment, in specific implementation, the supporting surface of the first transmission wheel 21 is higher than the first surface of the air-floating plate 1.

[0061] It can be understood that, in order to ensure the non-contact transmission of the photovoltaic cell 5 in cooperation with the first transmission wheel set 2 and the air-floating plate 1, in this embodiment, the supporting surface of the first transmission wheel 21 is set to be higher than the first surface of the air-floating plate 1, which can be but is not limited to being 0.2 - 0.3 mm higher. Furthermore, the edge of the photovoltaic cell 5 can be lapped on the first transmission wheel 21, and the middle part does not contact the first surface of the air-floating plate 1 but is kept suspended by the action of the air-floating plate 1, thereby reducing the contact pressure of the first transmission wheel 21.

[0062] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 2 figure, for the photovoltaic cell detection device provided in this embodiment, in specific implementation, it further includes a transmission assembly 6; the transmission assembly 6 is connected to the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3 to be able to synchronously transmit the only driving force to the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3.

[0063] It can be understood that, in order to achieve efficient transmission, a transmission component 6 is provided in this embodiment. It can transmit the driving force to the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3 simultaneously, realizing synchronous driving, and ensuring efficient driving and transmission. The transmission component 6 can be a structure with the cooperation of a gear and a rack, or a structure with the cooperation of a belt and a driving wheel, or a structure with the cooperation of a rotating shaft and a magnetic wheel. The transmission component is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor to transmit the driving force to the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3, realizing synchronous driving, and avoiding the actions of the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3 not necessarily affecting the transmission of the photovoltaic cell 5.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to the appended Figure 2 , appended Figure 3 and appended Figure 4 , the photovoltaic cell detection device provided in this embodiment, in specific implementation, the transmission component 6 includes a transmission shaft 61, a first magnetic wheel set 62 and a second magnetic wheel set 63. The transmission shaft 61 extends along the second direction b and is rotatably arranged around the second direction b. The first magnetic wheel set 62 includes a plurality of first magnetic wheels 621 and a plurality of second magnetic wheels 622. A plurality of first magnetic wheels 621 are sleeved on the transmission shaft 61 corresponding to the first transmission wheels 21 one by one, so as to be able to rotate with the transmission shaft 61. A plurality of second magnetic wheels 622 are sleeved on the axles of the first transmission wheels 21 one by one, and the second magnetic wheels 622 are spaced from the first magnetic wheels 621.

[0065] The second magnetic wheel set 63 includes a plurality of third magnetic wheels 631 and a plurality of fourth magnetic wheels 632. A plurality of third magnetic wheels 631 are sleeved on the transmission shaft 61 corresponding to the second transmission wheels 31 one by one, so as to be able to rotate with the transmission shaft 61. A plurality of fourth magnetic wheels 632 are sleeved on the axles of the second transmission wheels 31 one by one, and the fourth magnetic wheels 632 are spaced from the third magnetic wheels 631.

[0066] It can be understood that, in order to reduce the overall operating cost of the device, in this embodiment, the transmission component 6 is arranged to synchronously drive the first transmission wheel set 2 and the second transmission wheel set 3 through the transmission shaft 61 in cooperation with the first magnetic wheel set 62 and the second magnetic wheel set 3. The magnetic wheel can convert the repulsive force into a driving force through the mutual attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles to achieve non-contact force transmission; the magnetic wheel generates less noise during operation, which can optimize the working environment, and the magnetic wheel is a non-contact force transmission, without mechanical wear, the service life of the equipment is extended, and there is no need to frequently replace worn parts, further reducing the operating cost. In this embodiment, the first magnetic wheel set 62 is arranged corresponding to the first transmission wheel 21, and the second magnetic wheel set 63 is arranged corresponding to the second transmission wheel 31. When the first magnetic wheel 621 rotates around the second direction b along with the transmission shaft 61, it can generate a repulsive force to push the second magnetic wheel 622 to rotate around the first direction a, thereby driving the first transmission wheel 21 to rotate around the first direction a. When the third magnetic wheel 631 rotates around the second direction b along with the transmission shaft 61, it can generate a repulsive force to push the fourth magnetic wheel 632 to rotate around the third direction c; it can be understood that in this embodiment, the axles of the first transmission wheel 21 and the second transmission wheel 31 are both parts that penetrate their wheel surfaces along the axial direction of the transmission wheels, so as to be able to cooperate with the magnetic wheels without affecting the rotation of the wheel bodies.

[0068] It can be understood that, in order to achieve the spaced arrangement between the image acquisition unit 4 and the first surface of the air-floating plate 1, the mounting frame 43 is provided in this embodiment. The mounting frame 43 is a rigid frame structure, which can be but is not limited to an L-shaped frame or a U-shaped frame. For example: referring to the attached Figure 1As shown, the mounting bracket 43 is a U-shaped bracket, whose opening faces the air floating plate 1 and is connected to the side of the air floating plate 1, so that the sealing end is spaced from the first surface above the first surface.

It can, but is not limited to, that the viewing range just covers the size of the air floating plate 1 in the first direction a, thereby ensuring the accuracy of image acquisition and avoiding affecting the accuracy of subsequent image processing due to the structure of other devices or light.
