[0037] The present invention provides a comprehensive detection platform for photovoltaic intelligent tracking controllers. This solution addresses the current problem of low detection efficiency due to the lack of a detection platform compatible with multiple types of photovoltaic intelligent tracking controllers. See below for details.

[0038] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated detection platform 1 has multiple output voltages, multiple communication modules and / or multiple motors, and the integrated detection platform 1 includes:

[0040] The identification module 10 is used to identify the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2.

[0041] The adjustment module 12 is used to automatically adjust the output voltage, communication module and / or motor to match the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 according to the model, so as to power, communicate and / or drive the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, so that the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller can work normally.

[0042] The various output voltages include AC (alternating current) 110V, AC 220V, DC (direct current) 24V, and DC 28V. The various communication modules include LoRa (Long Range Radio), ZigBee, RS485, and CAN (Controller Area Network). LoRa is a modulation technology based on frequency shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulation. ZigBee is a short-range, low-power wireless communication technology. RS485 is a communication method based on differential signal transmission, featuring long transmission distance and strong anti-interference capabilities. CAN is a communication protocol widely used in industrial automation. It enables real-time communication between photovoltaic modules and monitoring systems, ensuring stable system operation. It also features multiple master stations and high-speed transmission. The various motors include brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors. Through processing by the adjustment module 12, the integrated detection platform 1 can switch between the various output voltages, various communication modules, and various motors.

[0043] After the identification module 10 identifies the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, the adjustment module 12 automatically adjusts to an output voltage that matches the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 to power the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2; automatically switches to a communication module that matches the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 to communicate with the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2; and automatically switches to a motor that matches the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 to drive the motor, thereby enabling the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 to work normally.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the identification module 12 includes a device identification line 20 , and the device identification line 20 is used to automatically identify the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 .

[0045] like Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the device identification line 20. The device identification line 20 includes two terminals 200. Both ends of the device identification line 20 are pluggable, and the two terminals 200 are of the same model.

[0046] like Figure 4 Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the terminals 200 of the device identification cable 20. Each terminal 200 of the device identification cable 20 has two rows of metal contacts 202 (referred to as first metal contacts), located on the front and back sides of the terminal 200. Each row of metal contacts 202 includes multiple metal contacts 202. Some of these metal contacts 202 are used to identify the output voltage of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, some are used to identify the communication module of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, and some are used to identify the motor type of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, each row of the metal contacts 202 has a total of nine. Three of the metal contacts 202 are used to identify the output voltage of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, three of the metal contacts 202 are used to identify the communication module of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, and three of the metal contacts 202 are used to identify the motor type of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2. For example, among the nine metal contacts 202 in each row, metal contacts 202 No. 1, 2, and 3 are used to identify the output voltage, metal contacts 202 No. 4, 5, and 6 are used to identify the communication module, and metal contacts 202 No. 7, 8, and 9 are used to identify the motor type.

[0048] To coordinate with the device identification line 20, the integrated testing platform 1 also has a socket that matches the terminal 200. Each metal contact 202 (first metal contact) within the socket is located above and below the corresponding metal contact (referred to as a second metal contact), and contacts the metal contact 202 on the terminal 200. The metal contact at the top of the socket outputs a +5V voltage, while the metal contact at the bottom detects voltage.

[0049] Similarly, the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 also has a socket that matches the terminal 200. Within the socket, each metal contact 202 (first metal contact) is located above and below the corresponding metal contact (referred to as a third metal contact). Different types of photovoltaic intelligent tracking controllers 2 handle the metal contacts (third metal contacts) within the socket differently. These third metal contacts can be handled differently, including whether the third metal contact is in contact with the corresponding first metal contact or not. Generally, contact is coded as "1," while non-contact is coded as "0."

[0050] Taking the output voltage of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 to be identified as AC 110V as an example, the upper and lower metal contacts at position 1 in the socket are connected inside the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, the upper and lower metal contacts at position 2 in the socket are not connected inside the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, and the upper and lower metal contacts at position 3 in the socket are not connected inside the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2. The different metal contact processing methods at these three positions can be represented by the code "100".

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG, respectively, are a flow chart and a schematic diagram of the device identification line 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application for identifying the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2. Figure 5 In the process of identifying the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, the process includes:

[0052] S100: Identify corresponding codes according to different processing methods of the third metal contact.

[0053] For example, according to the above example, the code “100” corresponding to the output voltage of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 can be identified.

[0054] S200: Match the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller according to the code.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, each code has a corresponding photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller model. Based on a pre-set mapping relationship table between the code and the model, the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller can be matched according to the code.

[0056] For example, the mapping relationship between the type of photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller and the code identified by the integrated detection platform can be:

[0057] DC 28V: 000; DC 24V: 001; AC 110V: 100; AC 220V: 101; LoRa: 000; ZigBee: 001; RS485: 010; CAN: 011; DC brushed motor: 000; DC brushless motor: 001.

[0058] The following uses a specific example to illustrate the process of identifying the corresponding code based on different processing methods for the third metal contact. For example, the metal contact (second metal contact) at the upper end of the socket in the integrated detection platform 1 outputs a +5V voltage. When the two ends of the device identification line 20 are respectively inserted into the integrated detection platform 1 and the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2, the +5V voltage output by the integrated detection platform 1 is transmitted through the upper terminal of the device identification line 20 to the upper terminal of the socket of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2. If the upper and lower terminals at this position are connected, this voltage is transmitted to the lower terminal of the integrated detection platform 1. When the lower terminal detects a +5V voltage, the code is recorded as "1". If the upper and lower terminals at this position of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller 2 are not connected, then the lower terminal of the integrated detection platform 1 at this position cannot detect a +5V voltage, and the code is recorded as "0".

[0059] The comprehensive testing platform for the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller proposed in the embodiments of this application features multiple output voltages, multiple communication modules, and multiple motors to accommodate various types of photovoltaic intelligent tracking controllers. For different types of photovoltaic intelligent tracking controllers, the model of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller is automatically identified via a device identification line, eliminating the need for manual model determination, resulting in simple and efficient operation. The system then automatically adjusts to the output voltage, communication module, and motor that match the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller based on the model, ensuring normal operation of the photovoltaic intelligent tracking controller. This reduces the need for frequent manual switching of test fixtures, shortens testing time, and comprehensively improves product testing efficiency.
