Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to an installation and positioning tool for solar photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, also known as solar panels, are key devices that directly convert sunlight into electricity. They consist of multiple solar cell units, typically made of silicon, and are characterized by high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and long lifespan. PV modules absorb solar radiation through the photoelectric effect and convert it into direct current (DC), making them suitable for various scales of power demand, from residential homes to large commercial power plants. Their design incorporates weather resistance, enabling them to withstand extreme weather conditions.

[0003] Because it relies entirely on manual operation, measurement and positioning accuracy are difficult to guarantee, and the installation gap error between components typically reaches ±5mm or even greater. This large installation error can lead to significant shading between solar panels, causing some cells to be in shadow and unable to generate electricity. These shaded cells not only fail to produce electricity but also become a load, consuming the electrical energy generated by other unshaded cells, thus forming localized high-temperature areas, the so-called hot spot effect. The hot spot effect not only significantly reduces the power generation efficiency of the entire photovoltaic system but may also cause accelerated aging of component materials, gradual decline in power output, and an increased risk of electrical failures, ultimately posing a serious threat to the long-term stability and safety of the entire system.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an installation and positioning tool for solar photovoltaic modules to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings, this utility model provides an installation and positioning tool for solar photovoltaic modules.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A solar photovoltaic module installation and positioning tool includes a positioning frame, a pull rod, a moving wheel, side wheels, a mounting bracket, a cross-positioning device, warning lights, and a controller. Side frames are fixedly provided on both sides of the positioning frame. A pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two side frames. Moving wheels are rotatably connected to both sides of each of the two side frames. Side wheels are symmetrically rotatably connected to one side of each of the two side frames. Mounting brackets are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the positioning frame. A cross-positioning device is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two mounting brackets on the same side. Warning lights are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the positioning frame. A controller is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning frame. All four cross-positioning devices are electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes guide rods, screw rods, a dual-axis motor, and a calibration plate. Guide rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the positioning frame. Screw rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the middle of the positioning frame. A dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the positioning frame. The dual-axis motor is electrically connected to the controller. The two output shafts of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to the corresponding screw rods. A calibration plate is slidably connected between the two guide rods on the same side.

[0008] Optionally, the two calibration plates are located on either side of the dual-axis motor.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes electric push rods, connecting rods, and electric suction cups. Electric push rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting bracket. All four electric push rods are electrically connected to the controller. The telescopic rods of the four electric push rods are fixedly connected to connecting rods when they extend downwards. Electric suction cups are fixedly connected to both sides of the four connecting rods. All four electric suction cups are electrically connected to the controller.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes a mounting plate and a rangefinder. The mounting bracket has mounting plates fixedly connected to both sides of the top, and a rangefinder is embedded and fixedly connected to the middle of the two mounting plates.

[0011] Optionally, the lower structure of both calibration plates is L-shaped.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: This invention achieves precise detection of the photovoltaic panel installation position through the coordinated operation of a cross-shaped positioning device and a rangefinder, and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller, based on the deviation information, controls an electric push rod to drive an electric suction cup to adsorb and lift the photovoltaic panel. In conjunction with a dual-axis motor driving a screw rod to clamp the edge of the photovoltaic panel with a calibration plate, automatic centering calibration is completed, achieving high-precision positioning and installation of the photovoltaic module. This effectively avoids the hot spot effect caused by uneven gaps. Simultaneously, the device uses moving wheels and side wheels for rapid movement and positioning, improving installation efficiency and operational continuity. The overall design has a high degree of automation, is easy to operate, and significantly reduces human error. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Example: An installation and positioning tool for solar photovoltaic modules, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a positioning frame 1, a pull rod 2, a movable wheel 3, a side wheel 4, a mounting bracket 5, a cross-positioning device 6, a warning light 16, and a controller 17. The positioning frame 1 has side frames installed on its left and right sides by screws. The pull rod 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the two side frames that are far apart from each other. The movable wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the two side frames. The side of the two side frames that are close to each other is symmetrically connected to the side wheels 4 that are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the positioning frame 1. The mounting bracket 5 is symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the positioning frame 1 by screws. The cross-positioning device 6 is installed on the side of the two mounting brackets 5 on the same side that are far apart from each other by screws. The warning light 16 is installed on the left and right sides of the top of the positioning frame 1 by screws. The controller 17 is installed on the left side of the top of the positioning frame 1 by screws. The four cross-positioning devices 6 are all electrically connected to the controller 17.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes guide rods 9, screw rods 10, dual-axis motors 11, and calibration plates 12. Guide rods 9 are symmetrically welded to both the front and rear sides of the positioning frame 1. Screw rods 10 are rotatably connected to both the front and rear sides of the middle of the positioning frame 1. Dual-axis motors 11 are installed in the middle of the positioning frame 1 by screws. Dual-axis motors 11 are electrically connected to controllers 17. The two output shafts of dual-axis motors 11 are welded to the corresponding screw rods 10. Calibration plates 12 are slidably connected between the two guide rods 9 on the same side of the front and rear. The lower structure of the two calibration plates 12 is L-shaped. The two calibration plates 12 are located on the front and rear sides of the dual-axis motor 11.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes electric push rods 13, connecting rods 14 and electric suction cups 15. Electric push rods 13 are symmetrically installed on both the front and rear sides of the mounting bracket 5 by screws. All four electric push rods 13 are electrically connected to the controller 17. The telescopic rods of the four electric push rods 13 are welded to the connecting rods 14 as they extend downwards. Electric suction cups 15 are installed on both the left and right sides of the four connecting rods 14 by screws. All four electric suction cups 15 are electrically connected to the controller 17.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, it also includes a fixing plate 7 and a rangefinder 8. The mounting bracket 5 has fixing plates 7 welded to the top left and right sides, and the rangefinder 8 is embedded in the middle of the two fixing plates 7 and installed by screws.

[0022] When this device is needed, the operator pulls lever 2 to place the entire device above the photovoltaic panel mounting bracket and stabilize it in place. Then, the controller 17 activates the crosshair 6 and the distance measuring device 8. The crosshair 6 is used to determine the reference position of the photovoltaic panel, and the distance measuring device 8 is used to detect the distance difference between the photovoltaic panel and the ideal mounting surface, thereby determining whether there is a deviation. If a deviation is detected in the photovoltaic panel, the warning light 16 illuminates. The crosshair 6 and the distance measuring device 8 transmit relevant data to the controller 17. The controller 17 determines the direction and degree of deviation based on the data and activates the electric push rod 13, causing its telescopic rod to extend downwards, driving the connecting rod 14 and the electric suction cup 15 to descend. When the electric suction cup 15 contacts the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the controller 17 activates the electric suction cup 15 to firmly adhere it. Then, the electric push rod 13 retracts, lifting the photovoltaic panel from the mounting bracket. Next, the controller 17 activates the dual-axis motor 11. The two spiral rods 10 are driven to rotate synchronously, causing the two calibration plates 12 to slide inward along the guide rod 9, clamping the edge of the photovoltaic panel and completing the center alignment calibration. After calibration, the controller 17 first activates the electric suction cup 15 to hold the photovoltaic panel, and then controls the dual-axis motor 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the calibration plate 12 to move outward along the guide rod 9 and detach from the photovoltaic panel. Finally, the controller 17 controls the electric push rod 13 to extend again, placing the photovoltaic panel stably in the standard installation position on the fixing frame and completing the fixing. After the photovoltaic panel is fixed, the controller 17 controls the electric suction cup 15 to close and the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 13 to retract and reset. If the next photovoltaic panel needs to be positioned and calibrated, the operator can push the pull rod 2 to move the entire device to the next photovoltaic panel area on the fixing frame via the moving wheel 3 and side wheel 4. The cross positioning instrument 6 is used for detection again, and the above operation process is repeated to achieve efficient and high-precision continuous installation operations.
