Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic aluminum profile testing technology, specifically a rapid cross-section scanner for photovoltaic aluminum profiles. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, photovoltaic aluminum profiles have been widely used in applications such as solar photovoltaic brackets. The cross-sectional geometry and dimensions of photovoltaic aluminum profiles directly affect the assembly accuracy and structural stability of photovoltaic brackets. Therefore, accurate inspection and scanning of the aluminum profile cross-section has become a crucial step in the production process.
[0003] In existing technologies, the cross-section of aluminum profiles is typically inspected using single-axis scanning or manual measurement. These methods have several drawbacks. For example, single-axis scanning struggles to cover all geometric features of the aluminum profile cross-section, resulting in incomplete inspection; manual measurement is not only inefficient but also susceptible to operator subjectivity, leading to unstable and inaccurate results. Furthermore, existing clamping mechanisms are usually simply designed and cannot provide stable and precise positioning of the aluminum profile during scanning, easily resulting in problems such as unstable clamping and positioning deviations.
[0004] As the photovoltaic industry continues to demand higher quality aluminum profiles, existing testing methods are no longer sufficient to meet the needs for efficient and accurate testing. Therefore, developing a device capable of rapidly and comprehensively scanning the cross-section of aluminum profiles, while also possessing convenient operation and precise positioning capabilities, has become a pressing technical challenge in the photovoltaic aluminum profile manufacturing sector.

Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a rapid cross-section scanner for photovoltaic aluminum profiles, including a base, a clamping assembly, a scanning motion assembly, and a scanning sensor. A clamping gear ring and a transmission gear ring are coaxially arranged on the inner side of the base. A first drive motor and a second drive motor are used to drive the rotation of the clamping gear ring and the transmission gear ring, respectively. The clamping assembly achieves radial sliding of the clamp through the linkage of a moving guide plate and a radial guide plate, thereby accurately clamping and positioning the photovoltaic aluminum profile.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model can achieve multi-angle and multi-directional scanning, improving the comprehensiveness of data acquisition from the end face of photovoltaic aluminum profiles.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, this utility model can be further configured such that: a plurality of radial guide grooves and arc guide grooves are provided between the radial guide plate and the moving guide plate in the clamping assembly, and the clamping head cooperates with the guide groove through the sliding pin to achieve radial sliding, thereby stably clamping the aluminum profile.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model can ensure the clamping stability of aluminum profiles during the scanning process and effectively prevent scanning errors caused by vibration or displacement.
[0018] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. In this invention, the circumferential rotation of the aluminum profile cross-section and the horizontal axial swing of the scanning sensor are achieved through rotation along two axes.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0033] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0034] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the photovoltaic aluminum profile rapid section scanner provided by this utility model.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a device for scanning the end face of aluminum profiles, including a base 100, a clamping assembly 200, a scanning motion assembly 300, and a scanning sensor 400.
[0036] The base 100 includes upper and lower substrate structures and several shafts 101, which connect the two substrates. A guide wheel 102 is also installed between the upper and lower substrates. The guide wheel 102 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the shaft 101 and slides against the clamping gear ring 130 and the transmission gear ring 140, thereby supporting and guiding the rotational movement of the clamping gear ring 130 and the transmission gear ring 140. A first drive motor 110 and a second drive motor 120 are also installed inside the base 100 to drive the rotation of the clamping gear ring 130 and the transmission gear ring 140, respectively.
[0037] The clamping assembly 200 is used to hold the aluminum profile to be scanned. The clamping assembly 200 includes a turntable base 210, a movable guide plate 220, a radial guide plate 230, and several chucks 240. The radial guide plate 230 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the turntable base 210, while the movable guide plate 220 is rotatably mounted between the turntable base 210 and the radial guide plate 230. Several radial guide grooves 231 and arc guide grooves 221 are respectively formed on the radial guide plate 230 and the movable guide plate 220, with their positions and numbers corresponding. The chucks 240 are slidably mounted inside the radial guide grooves 231, and their bottom ends are slidably sleeved inside the arc guide grooves 221 via sliding pins 241. When the moving guide plate 220 rotates relative to the turntable seat 210 and the radial guide plate 230, the radial guide groove 231 and the arc guide groove 221 guide the chuck 240 and its sliding pin 241, causing the chuck 240 to slide radially, thereby achieving the clamping of the aluminum profile.
[0038] The scanning motion assembly 300 includes a bearing plate 310, a side lug 320, a rotating lug 330, and a key shaft 340. The bearing plate 310 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the lower substrate of the base 100, and the side lug 320 is fixed to the bottom of the bearing plate 310. The rotating lug 330 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the side lug 320 and mechanically meshes with the key shaft 340 through a bevel gear disc 331. One end of the key shaft 340 engages with the inner side of the transmission gear ring 140, and the other end engages with the surface of the bevel gear disc 331, causing the rotating lug 330 to rotate. The bottom surface of the transmission gear ring 140 slides against the top surface of the bearing plate 310, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire scanning motion assembly.
[0039] The scanning sensor 400 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating bracket 330 and is used to scan the cross-section of the aluminum profile. The scanning sensor 400 can be an industrial camera or a grating scanning sensor, which can accurately acquire the geometric shape and size information of the aluminum profile cross-section.
[0040] Operation process:
[0041] First, the cross-section of the aluminum profile is aligned with the scanning sensor 400 and inserted into the clamping assembly 200. Through the coaxial arrangement of the clamping gear ring 130 and the transmission gear ring 140, and the linkage of the moving guide plate 220 and the radial guide plate 230, the chuck 240 slides radially to the surface of the aluminum profile, achieving precise clamping of the aluminum profile. At this time, the first drive motor 110 drives the clamping gear ring 130 to rotate, thereby causing the aluminum profile to rotate around its axis. Simultaneously, the second drive motor 120 drives the transmission gear ring 140 to rotate, causing the key shaft 340 and the rotating lug 330 to rotate together, thus enabling the scanning sensor 400 to perform horizontal axial oscillating scanning around the end face of the aluminum profile. In this way, omnidirectional scanning of the aluminum profile end face is achieved.
