[0049] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-8This utility model provides a high-efficiency photovoltaic module flipping inspection device, comprising a base 1, with vertical supports 2 on both the left and right sides of the top of the base 1, and a horizontal mounting groove 11 inside the base 1. An adjustment mechanism 3 is installed within the horizontal mounting groove 11. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first dual-axis geared motor 31 installed at the center of the horizontal mounting groove 11. This motor has stable power output and can precisely control the movement of the two vertical supports 2. The output ends of the first dual-axis geared motor 31 are respectively connected to first drive screws 32, which convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion. There are also first screw sleeves 33, threaded onto the first drive screws 32 on both sides and slidably engaged within the horizontal mounting groove 11. The top walls of the first screw sleeves 33 are tightly connected to the bottom ends of the two vertical supports 2. The movement of the first screw sleeves 33 drives the vertical supports 2 to move relative to or away from each other, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment for photovoltaic panels of different sizes.
[0050] Mounting brackets 4 are installed at the top of both vertical supports 2. Photovoltaic panel side positioning components 5 are rotatably mounted inside the mounting brackets 4. The photovoltaic panel side positioning components 5 include a C-shaped steel frame 51 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the mounting bracket 4, which has a stable structure and provides reliable support for subsequent components. Several guide rollers 52 are distributed along the internal length of the C-shaped steel frame 51. These guide rollers 52 can still transport the photovoltaic panels after they are clamped and positioned, allowing for receiving photovoltaic panels from the front conveyor belt and sending them out after inspection. Parallel edge clamping plates 53 distributed inside the C-shaped steel frame 51 can clamp and fix the photovoltaic panels from both ends, ensuring stability during inspection and flipping. A vertical mounting groove 511 located at the center of the inner end face of the C-shaped steel frame 51 provides installation space for related components. A clamping drive component 54 is distributed within the vertical mounting groove 511, including a second dual-axis reduction motor 541 installed at the center of the vertical mounting groove 511. The second drive screws 542, respectively connected to the upper and lower output ends of the second dual-axis geared motor 541, transmit the motor's power to relevant components. The second screw sleeves 543, respectively threaded onto the upper and lower second drive screws 542 and slidably engaged within the vertical mounting groove 511, have their outer walls tightly abutting the inner center of the upper and lower edge clamping plates 53. The movement of the second screw sleeves 543 drives the edge clamping plates 53 to move relative to or away from each other, thus clamping or releasing the edge of the photovoltaic panel. Clamping occurs during flipping, and releases after flipping.
[0051] The C-shaped steel frame 51 also has vertical mounting slots 511 on both the left and right ends. Guide components 55 are installed in both vertical mounting slots 511. Each guide component 55 includes a guide rod 551 installed inside the side vertical mounting slot 511, which provides stable guidance. Guide sleeves 552 are slidably fitted onto the upper and lower ends of the guide rods 551. The outer walls of the upper and lower guide sleeves 552 are aligned with the ends of the upper and lower edge clamping plates 53, ensuring that the edge clamping plates 53 remain straight and stable during movement. A flipping drive motor 6 is installed at the center of the outer side of the left mounting frame 4, driving the photovoltaic panel side positioning component 5 to flip. This motor drives the photovoltaic panel to flip when the side positioning components 5 clamp the photovoltaic panel, facilitating comprehensive inspection. Several through holes are evenly distributed on the edge clamping plate 53 for the guide roller 52 to pass through, ensuring good contact and smooth operation between the guide roller 52 and the photovoltaic panel.
