[0029] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0030] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0031] As mentioned in the background section above, in photovoltaic module manufacturing, order changes can lead to mixed frame types. The biggest difference between frames of the same specification lies in the number of mounting holes. Inconsistent mounting hole sizes during the framing process can cause quality issues. Therefore, frequent and rapid measurements of the mounting holes are necessary during framing to ensure consistency in hole size. Based on this, the inventors of this application provide a measuring fixture for photovoltaic glass frame mounting holes in one or more embodiments. The fixture's bottom extends into the mounting hole, and the size of the mounting hole can be quickly determined by measuring whether a measuring block can move within the hole, thus ensuring consistency of the mounting holes on the frame. This is believed to solve one or more problems of the prior art.

[0032] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a measuring fixture for the mounting holes of photovoltaic glass frames, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a cylindrical body 1, the bottom of which can extend into the mounting hole. The cylindrical body 1 includes a top wall 2, and an elongated hole 3 is provided on the top wall 2. The bottom of the cylindrical body 1 is open. A measuring mechanism includes a measuring block 4 and a connecting rod 5. The bottom end of the connecting rod 5 extends into the cylindrical body 1 through the elongated hole 3 and exits the cylindrical body 1 from the bottom. The measuring block 4 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 can move along the length of the elongated hole 3 within the elongated hole 3 to drive the measuring block 4 to move in order to measure the diameter of the mounting hole.

[0033] Specifically, multiple frames are assembled to form a mounting frame for installing photovoltaic glass. Frames of the same specification may have various sizes of mounting holes, such as 9*14mm and 7*10mm. During order switching, frames with these two sizes of mounting holes may be used interchangeably, leading to quality issues. To address this, the cross-sectional dimensions of the cylinder 1 in this technical solution can be designed to be less than or equal to 7*10mm, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the measuring block 4 can be designed to be 7*10mm, so that the bottom of the cylinder 1 and the measuring block 4 can both be inserted into the mounting holes of these two sizes. When inserted into a 7*10mm mounting hole, the outer wall of measuring block 4, which also has a 7*10mm cross-sectional dimension, abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole, preventing it from moving within the hole. When inserted into a 9*14mm mounting hole, because the cross-sectional dimension of measuring block 4 is smaller than the hole size, it can be moved by the operator (by pushing the top of connecting rod 5). This process allows for quick determination of the mounting hole specifications on the frame, preventing the use of frames with different hole sizes and ensuring product quality.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the measuring fixture for the mounting holes of photovoltaic glass frames in this application extends into the mounting hole through the bottom of the cylinder 1, and determines the size of the mounting hole quickly by measuring whether the measuring block 4 can move inside the mounting hole, thus ensuring the consistency of the mounting holes on the frame.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the measuring fixture also includes a slide plate 6, which is slidably mounted on the top wall 2 along the aforementioned length direction and located above the elongated hole 3. The top of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the bottom of the slide plate 6. The slide plate 6 enables the movement of the connecting rod 5 and the measuring block 4, while also preventing the measuring block 4 from tilting due to insufficient sag of the connecting rod 5 during measurement, thus affecting the accuracy of the measurement. For example, when inserted into a 7*10mm mounting hole, insufficient sag of the connecting rod 5 causes the measuring block 4 to be in a non-horizontal state, so that the two opposite ends of the tilted measuring block 4 do not abut against the side wall 9 of the mounting hole, allowing the connecting rod 5 to move and thus affecting the operator's judgment of the mounting hole specifications.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, a slide rail 7 is provided along the length direction on the top wall 2 of the edge of the elongated hole 3, and the slide plate 6 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 7. By providing the slide rail 7, the connecting rod 5 and the measuring block 4 can slide smoothly in the horizontal direction, thereby avoiding the problem of the slide plate 6 changing its levelness during sliding. Specifically, there are two slide rails 7, which are respectively provided on the top wall 2 of two opposite edges of the elongated hole 3. In addition, blocking parts can be provided at both ends of the slide rail 7 to limit the movement range of the slide plate 6.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a handle 8 is provided on the top of the skateboard 6. The handle 8 facilitates the operation of the staff (pushing the skateboard 6 to move).

[0038] In some embodiments, the handle 8 is covered with a rubber sleeve (not shown in the figure). The rubber sleeve prevents the handle 8 from slipping when pushed by the operator, thus avoiding the problem of affecting work efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the measuring block 4 is covered with an elastic material (not shown in the figure). The elastic material prevents the measuring block 4 from scratching the inner wall of the mounting hole. Specifically, for the above embodiment, the cross-sectional dimensions of the measuring block 4 after being covered with the elastic material are 7*10mm.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 1 also includes a transparent sidewall 9, the top of which is connected to the bottom surface of the top wall 2. The sidewall 9 and the top wall 2 together form the cylinder 1. Through the transparent sidewall 9, the operator can visually determine the size of the mounting hole. For example, in the above embodiment, after the measuring block 4 is inserted into the mounting hole, when the mounting hole size is 7*10mm, the operator can observe that there is no gap between the measuring block 4 and the inner wall of the mounting hole; when the mounting hole size is 9*14mm, the operator can observe that there is a gap between the measuring block 4 and the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby further accelerating the measurement and judgment speed and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first screw 10 is provided on the bottom of the connecting rod 5, and a threaded hole 11 is provided on the top of the measuring block 4. The first screw 10 is fitted into the threaded hole 11 to connect the connecting rod 5 and the measuring block 4 together. The connection between the connecting rod 5 and the measuring block 4 is realized through the first screw 10 and the threaded hole 11, and at the same time, it also facilitates the disassembly of both and makes it easy to store when not in use.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, a second screw 12 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 5, and a nut 13 is provided at the bottom of the slide plate 6. The second screw 12 is fitted into the nut 13 to connect the connecting rod 5 and the slide plate 6 together. Similarly, the second screw 12 and the nut 13 achieve the connection between the connecting rod 5 and the slide plate 6, and also facilitate disassembly of both for easy storage when not in use. Specifically, the nut 13 can be welded to the bottom of the slide plate 6.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rubber sleeve is provided with anti-slip protrusions (not shown in the figure). The anti-slip protrusions further prevent the operator from slipping on the handle 8 during operation.

[0044] In summary, compared with the prior art, this disclosure provides a measuring fixture for mounting holes in photovoltaic glass frames. The bottom of the cylinder 1 extends into the mounting hole, and the size of the mounting hole can be quickly determined by measuring whether the measuring block 4 can move within the mounting hole, thus ensuring the consistency of mounting holes on the frame. The sliding plate 6 and slide rail 7 ensure the accuracy of the measurement. The inner wall of the mounting hole is protected by an elastic material. The first screw 10, threaded hole 11, second screw 12 and nut 13 connect the various components, while also facilitating the disassembly of the components and making it easy to store when not in use.

[0045] The embodiments of this disclosure have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this disclosure, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
