The circuit continuity of the module is monitored during the test, which increases the cost per kilowatt-hour. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a testing device for simulating the load capacity of photovoltaic modules under flexible support, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing dynamic mechanical load equipment for photovoltaic modules only uses air pressure. IEC TS 62782:2016 requires a more systematic test method for dynamic mechanical load testing of photovoltaic modules, which involves placing the photovoltaic module in a dynamic load system, connecting the positive and negative terminals of the module with the positive and negative terminals of a DC source, applying an appropriate current, and applying dynamic mechanical load to the photovoltaic module for 1000 cycles, completing 1 to 3 cycles per minute, with a maximum pressure of ±1000Pa, and maintaining the pressure at the limit for at least 7±3s. During the test, the circuit continuity of the module is monitored, which increases the cost per kilowatt-hour.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a testing device for simulating the load capacity of a component under a flexible support, comprising a main body of the testing device, wherein a downward pressure area and an upward pull area are distributed at the four corners of the upper end of the main body of the testing device, the downward pressure area and the upward pull area are symmetrically distributed, threaded holes are provided at the four corners of the lower end of the main body of the testing device, and support columns are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the main body of the testing device through the threaded holes, the support columns install bolts at the upper end of the bolts inside the threaded holes, an airbag is provided at the lower end of the support columns, a connecting pipe is installed at the left end of the airbag, a pressure ball is installed at the left end of the connecting pipe, a vent valve is installed at the left end of the pressure ball, a partition is installed at the upper end of the main body of the testing device, L-shaped plates are installed at the left and right ends of the partition, a connecting rod is fixed at the inner side of the L-shaped plate, a push plate is fixed at the other end of the connecting rod, and a stainless steel spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0006] Preferably, the downward pressure area and the upward pressure area are symmetrically distributed at the upper end of the main body of the testing device.

[0007] Preferably, the upper diagonal areas of the main body of the testing device are pulled up and pressed down respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the downward pressing area and the upward pulling area are symmetrically subjected to force.

[0009] Preferably, the support columns are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the main body of the testing device.

[0010] Preferably, the other end of the support column is fixed to the airbag.

[0011] Preferably, the air pressure balloon delivers gas to the interior of the airbag via a connecting pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the airbag is made of rubber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a testing device for simulating the load capacity of components under flexible support, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. Modify the existing dynamic mechanical load equipment by dividing the component surface into four areas and simultaneously applying upward and downward pressure to the diagonal areas. Apply upward pressure to the left half and downward pressure to the right half along the symmetrical long and short sides of the component, symmetrically applying force. Each working condition is cycled 1000 times, and the number of cycles can be adjusted. One to three cycles are completed per minute, with a maximum pressure of ±1000Pa, which can be adjusted. The time to maintain the pressure under the ultimate pressure is at least 7±3s. This effectively evaluates the torsional performance of the component on the flexible support, reduces the cost per kilowatt-hour, and overcomes terrain limitations.

[0015] 2. Airbags are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the main body of the testing device. The airbags can be filled by manually squeezing the air bulb. When the air bulb is squeezed, the air inside flows into the airbag through the connecting pipe. When the air is released, the pressure relief valve can be turned. The filled airbag can effectively absorb and buffer the vibration and impact from the ground, reduce the interference with the test results, and improve the accuracy of the test.

[0016] 3. A partition is installed at the upper end of the main body of the testing device. The partition separates the pull-up area and the press-down area. The partition is installed to the main body of the testing device via an L-shaped plate. To disassemble, the L-shaped plate can be pulled. The movement of the L-shaped plate causes the connecting rod to move the push plate. At the same time, the push plate compresses the stainless steel spring. After the L-shaped plate is released, the stainless steel spring releases its elastic force, causing the L-shaped plate to fit against the outer wall of the partition. The partition can be installed and disassembled in this way. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The existing dynamic mechanical load equipment is modified to divide the component surface into four areas. Simultaneous upward and downward pulling is applied to the diagonal areas. Along the symmetrical position of the component, the left half is pulled upward and the right half is pressed downward, with symmetrical force applied. Each working condition is cycled 1000 times, and the number of cycles is adjustable. One to three cycles are completed per minute, with a maximum pressure of ±1000Pa, which is adjustable.
