[0028] A flip mechanism for photovoltaic panel detection according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figure 1-5 As shown, the base 1 includes a turning platform 4 for placing photovoltaic panels on top of the base 1. The turning platform 4 is fixed to the base 1 by support columns 2 on both sides. The connection between the turning platform 4 and the support columns 2 is hinged. The base 1 is provided with symmetrical end limiters 5 on the left and right sides. A sliding groove 41 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base 1. The bottoms of the two end limiters 5 are placed in the sliding groove 41 and can slide synchronously. The front and rear sides of the end limiters 5 are provided with side limiters 6. The side limiters 6 are connected to the end limiters 5 by elastic rods 61 and are elastically constrained to move toward the end limiters 5. The end limiters 5 are provided with sensing elements for sensing the contact state between the photovoltaic panel and the end limiters 5. The sensing elements sense the photovoltaic panel, so that the movement of the end limiters 5 stops when the photovoltaic panel is just clamped, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping pressure of the photovoltaic panel and preventing changes in the photovoltaic panel. Specifically, a rotating motor 3 is provided on at least one side of the flipping platform 4. The rotating motor 3 drives the flipping platform 4 to flip along the end of the support column 2. Preferably, the rotating motor 3 is a servo motor. Using a servo motor to rotate the flipping platform 4 can effectively control the rotation angle according to actual needs, facilitate the selection of the appropriate detection angle for testing, and make testing more convenient.

[0029] Specifically, a bidirectional cylinder 42 is provided in the slide groove 41, and a slider 55 is provided at the bottom of the end limiter 5. The slider 55 is nested in the slide groove 41 and connected to the bidirectional cylinder 42. The bidirectional cylinder 42 synchronously drives the two end limiters 5 on both sides. The bidirectional cylinder 42 synchronously drives the end limiters 5 on both sides, causing the end limiters 5 to move toward each other simultaneously, ensuring consistent pressure on the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel during clamping.

[0030] Specifically, the sensing part includes a driven rod 51 that passes through the middle of the end limiting part 5, and the driven rod 51 is provided with a butt joint 52 at one end facing the photovoltaic panel. The other side of the driven rod 51 passes through the end limiting part 5 and is connected to a connecting rod 53. The connecting rod 53 extends downward into the sliding groove 41 and is provided with a bent rod 54 that cooperates with the front and rear side surfaces of the slider 55. The slider 55 is provided with limiting grooves 56 on both sides of the sliding groove 41, and a limiting block 57 and a 58 that drives the limiting block 57 to move outward are provided in the limiting groove 56. After the front and rear sides of the bent rod 54 are bent, they simultaneously block the two limiting grooves 56, and a window for controlling the protrusion of the limiting block 57 is provided on the bent rod 54. When the end limiter 5 approaches the photovoltaic panel, it will first contact the abutment 52, and then under the relative forces on the left and right sides, the abutment 52 will be pushed gradually into the end limiter 5. When the abutment 52 is completely sunk into the end limiter 5, that is, the end limiter 5 is completely in contact with the side of the photovoltaic panel, the abutment 52 moves to the position. At this time, the connecting rod 53 will be driven by the driven rod 51, and finally the bent rod 54 will be driven to move outward, so that the limit block 57 protrudes from the window, and then abuts against the side wall of the sliding groove 41, so that the slider 55 stops sliding. Since the limit block 57 is symmetrical in design, it can ensure that the front and rear side walls of the sliding groove 41 are abutted at the same time, so that the interception effect is better.

[0031] Specifically, a retaining elastic component (not shown) is installed within the driven rod 51 within the end retainer 5. This retaining elastic component forces the driven rod 51 to contact the connecting rod 53 with the end retainer when the abutment joint 52 is not subjected to external pressure. This design primarily uses the retaining elastic component to reset the driven rod 51 after the photovoltaic panel is removed, facilitating subsequent operation. Specifically, the retaining block 57 is shaped to be thinner at the front and thicker at the back, with a window shorter than the retaining block 57 but allowing the thickened portion of the retaining block 57 to protrude beyond the window. When the curved rod 54 moves outward, the window fully exposes the thickened portion of the retaining block 57, allowing it to protrude beyond the window and contact the sidewall of the sliding groove 41, stopping the movement. When the driven rod 51 returns to its original position, it simultaneously pushes the curved rod 54 back to its original position. The window in the curved rod 54 exerts pressure on the uniform change in thickness of the retaining block 57, causing the retaining block 57 to reset and restore the sliding effect of the slider 55.

[0032] Preferably, the side limiting member 6 has an auxiliary groove 62 at its end facing the opposite end limiting member 5, and an auxiliary clamping member is disposed in the auxiliary groove 62. Specifically, the auxiliary clamping member includes an auxiliary plate 63 hingedly connected to the auxiliary groove 62 and extending toward the opposite end limiting member 5, and a buffer head 64 for controlling the auxiliary plate 63. The buffer head 64 is nested in a fixed sleeve 65 fixed in the auxiliary groove 62 and can slide along the fixed sleeve 65. A buffer spring 66 is disposed behind the buffer head 64, and a push block 67 is disposed on the other side of the buffer spring 66 for pushing the auxiliary plate 63. During use, the staff needs to pull out the four side limiters 6 on both sides in advance, start the two-way cylinder 42, and then release it after the two-way cylinder 42 drives the end limiter 5 to clamp the photovoltaic panel, and reset it through the elastic rod 61 to drive the side limiter 6 close to the photovoltaic panel for clamping operation. In this process, the photovoltaic panel will synchronously push the buffer head 64 in advance, and then push one end of the auxiliary plate 63 through the buffer head 64, so that the other end of the auxiliary plate 63 is close to the photovoltaic panel to further clamp the photovoltaic panel. Preferably, the outer end of the auxiliary plate 63 is provided with a rubber block 68, and the rubber block 68 forms a buffer to prevent the auxiliary plate 63 from affecting the photovoltaic panel under pressure, while further ensuring the clamping effect.

[0033] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention cannot be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
