It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended to be illustrative of the application and are not intended to be limiting. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by showing examples of the present application.

Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the data acquisition, storage, use, processing, etc. all conform to relevant regulations of national laws and regulations.
In the installation process of the photovoltaic solar panel, it is necessary to perform the installation work to the execution work point (i.e., the target installation position). However, the positioning system in the related art generally adopts a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS), which has poor positioning accuracy, and cannot realize accurate positioning to the implementation operation point, so that the requirement of installation operation cannot be met.
In order to solve the problems of the related art, the embodiment of the application provides a positioning system, a positioning method, and a photovoltaic array semi-finished product mounting device and method.
The positioning system provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that the positioning system in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a photovoltaic array semi-finished product mounting apparatus, which is used for mounting a photovoltaic array semi-finished product on a photovoltaic bracket.
It should be noted that the positioning system in the embodiments of the present application relates to distance measurement and position detection techniques.
The photovoltaic array semi-finished product in the embodiment of the application comprises a plurality of photovoltaic plates, and the photovoltaic plates are arranged along the length direction and/or the width direction of the photovoltaic plates and assembled by a plurality of purlines and oblique beams. Specifically, the photovoltaic array semi-finished product comprises a plurality of purlins, a plurality of oblique beams and a plurality of photovoltaic plates, wherein the purlins are mutually spaced and arranged in parallel, the oblique beams are mutually spaced and arranged in parallel, the purlins and the oblique beams are intersected and overlapped to form a frame, and the photovoltaic plates are arranged in an array manner and are arranged on one side, far away from the oblique beams, of the purlins to form the photovoltaic array semi-finished product.
The assembly of the semi-finished photovoltaic array can be carried out in a factory, and compared with the assembly of an outdoor photovoltaic panel installation site, the assembly process can be carried out by means of professional equipment, so that the installation accuracy and the installation efficiency are improved.
In addition, the semi-finished product of the photovoltaic array can also be in other forms which facilitate subsequent installation procedures, for example, one or more photovoltaic panels and other forms of supporting pieces are combined to be used as the semi-finished product, or one or more photovoltaic panels are used as the semi-finished product per se to carry out subsequent installation.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an exemplary positioning system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. An exemplary mounting post unit of the photovoltaic bracket is also shown in fig. 1, and, taking the example that the mounting post unit includes 8 mounting posts 104, two mounting posts 104 at the extreme edge in the x-direction of the 8 mounting posts 104 of the mounting post unit are taken as two selected mounting posts 104 for placing a target object 105 for reference by the positioning system. That is, the target object 105 is disposed between the two first preset mounting posts of each mounting post unit, and the width of the target object 105 is equal to the distance between the two first preset mounting posts.
Alternatively, in another exemplary mounting column unit, the target object 105 is provided on a second preset mounting column of the plurality of mounting columns 104 of the mounting column unit, or the second preset mounting column itself is the target object 105. It will be appreciated that when the second preset mounting posts themselves are the target object 105, the number of second preset mounting posts is at least two, and the at least two second preset mounting posts may be adjacent posts in the same row of mounting post units or may not be adjacent.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1, the positioning system includes: a target object detection means 102, a distance detection means 103 and a drive assembly (not shown in fig. 1). Wherein the target object detection means 102 and the distance detection means 103 are both mounted on the side of the mounting apparatus body structure. As an alternative embodiment, the target object detection means 102 and the distance detection means 103 are both mounted on the sides of the mounting device body structure near the target object 105 when the mounting device is remote from the photovoltaic stand.
It should be understood that, since the photovoltaic array semi-finished product mounting apparatus and the positioning system thereof in the embodiments of the present application can implement a continuous mounting operation, in order to ensure that the target object detection device 102 and the distance detection device 103 in the positioning system can implement their respective functions based on the reference target object 105 during the continuous mounting operation, the positions of the first preset mounting post or the second preset mounting post in the mounting post unit are the same and fixed for each mounting post unit in the photovoltaic bracket, for example, the first preset mounting post of each mounting post unit is the two mounting posts 104 of its extreme edge in the x direction.
More specifically, the target object detection device 102 is configured to detect whether the target object 105 exists in the current area range when the installation apparatus moves to be within a first preset range of the target installation position, so as to obtain a target object detection signal; distance detecting means 103 for detecting a distance between the mounting device and the target object 105 to obtain a distance signal; and a driving component for driving the mounting device to move towards the target mounting position based on the target object detection signal and the distance signal so that the target object detection signal and the distance signal meet preset conditions, wherein the preset conditions are that the target object detection signal indicates that the target object is not detected and the distance signal indicates that the distance information is detected, the preset conditions are used for indicating that the mounting device is located in a second preset range of the target mounting position, the second preset range is smaller than or equal to the first preset range, for example, the first preset range can be in a range of 50mm, and the second preset range can be in a range of 10 mm.
Thus, the positioning system applied to the photovoltaic array semi-finished product mounting device of the embodiment of the application is provided with the target object detection device 102, the distance detection device 103 and the driving component, so that when the mounting device moves to be within a first preset range of a target mounting position of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product, a target object detection signal and a distance signal of the target object 105 are detected by the target object detection device 102 and the distance detection device 103, and the mounting device is driven to move to the target mounting position by the driving component based on the target object detection signal and the distance signal, so that the mounting device is positioned within a second preset range of the target mounting position; because the second preset range is smaller than or equal to the first preset range, the positioning system can realize more accurate positioning of the mounting equipment relative to the target mounting position, namely, the positioning precision can be improved, and thus, the mounting operation requirement in the mounting process of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product can be met.
In some embodiments, the positioning system further comprises a navigation system 101 mounted on the body structure of the mounting device. Specifically, the navigation system 101 may include a satellite navigation positioning system for moving the navigation installation device to a first preset range of the target installation position of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product.
In some embodiments, the navigation system 101 is a plurality, and the plurality of navigation systems 101 are mounted on at least one diagonal of the mounting device body structure. In this way, navigation of the mounted device and thus the preliminary positioning is achieved by at least two navigation systems 101. It will be appreciated that the mounting of at least two navigation systems 101 on a diagonal may enable both sides of the mounting device to be controlled for navigation, thereby ensuring that the mounting device is able to move steadily during the course of achieving a preliminary positioning of the mounting device within a first predetermined range of target mounting locations. Meanwhile, the navigation system 101 is not required to be arranged at each end angle of the main body structure of the installation equipment, so that the deployment cost and the structural complexity of the positioning system of the installation equipment can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the target object detection device 102 and the distance detection device 103 are mounted on a side of the mounting apparatus main body structure near the target object 105, and the centers of the target object detection device 102, the distance detection device 103 and the target object 105 are located at the same height, so that the mounting positions of the target object detection device 102, the distance detection device 103 on the mounting apparatus main body structure are adapted to the positions of the target object 105, thereby enabling the target object 105 to be scanned or detected, and realizing the determination of the target object 105 as a reference object for positioning. Also, the height is not so low as to prevent the target object detection device 102 or the distance detection device 103 from failing to scan the target object 105 and from acquiring a signal, which may be caused by sinking of the tire of the wheel, deformation of the tire of the wheel, or uneven ground of the mounted apparatus. For example, the tire of the wheel is submerged 100mm at maximum, and the height may be set to 150mm.
In some embodiments, the surface of the target object 105 is capable of reflecting laser light, and the target object detection device 102 and the distance detection device 103 are both laser sensors.
Specifically, the target object 105 may be a metal plate, or the surface of the target object 105 (second preset mounting post) is provided with a reflective film or special sensor reflective paper. In this way, the surface of the target object 105 can reflect laser light and the reflectivity is high, so that the laser sensor can be made to detect and scan the target object 105 to acquire a signal.
In the case where the target object 105 is a metal plate, the material of the metal may be iron, aluminum, steel, or the like, and this embodiment is not particularly limited.
In addition, it should be appreciated that the surface of the target object 105 needs to be smooth to avoid generating radians or concavity that may result in a larger error in the signal acquired by the target object detection device 102 or the distance detection device 103 when scanning the target object 105.
Further, in some embodiments, for the calling functions of the target object detection apparatus 102 and the distance detection apparatus 103, respectively, the target object detection apparatus 102 may call the switching value interval function of the laser sensor, and the distance detection apparatus 103 may call the analog ranging function of the laser sensor.
In some embodiments, the mounting location of the target object detection device 102 on the mounting apparatus body structure is closer to the axial (i.e., parallel to the x-axis direction in fig. 1) edge of the mounting apparatus than the mounting location of the distance detection device 103.
In this way, based on the relative positional relationship of the installation positions of the target object detection device 102 and the distance detection device 103, and the respective different calling functions, it is possible to realize that different detection information is obtained by detecting the target object 105, that is, signals representing different information are acquired.
In some embodiments, the target object detection apparatus 102 includes at least a first target object detection sensor and a second target object detection sensor distributed along an axial direction of the mounting device; the distance detection means 103 includes at least a first distance detection sensor and a second distance detection sensor distributed along the axial direction of the mounting apparatus.
Since the mounting position of the target object detection device 102 on the mounting apparatus main structure is closer to the axial edge of the mounting apparatus than the mounting position of the distance detection device 103, the first target object detection sensor and the second target object detection sensor are disposed outside the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor, as shown in fig. 1, the distribution order in the x-axis direction along the axial direction on the mounting apparatus main structure may be: the first target object detection sensor, the first distance detection sensor, the second distance detection sensor, and the second target object detection sensor.
In some embodiments, the distance of the first target object detection sensor from the second target object detection sensor in the axial direction of the mounting apparatus is greater than the width of the target object 105 by a first dimension; the distance between the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor in the axial direction of the mounting apparatus is smaller than the width of the target object 105 by a second dimension.
Specifically, for the first size and the second size, it may be determined according to a second preset range. In addition, the first size and the second size may be equal. For example, if the second preset range is 10mm, the first size and the second size are both 20mm, that is, the mounting positions of the first target object detection sensor and the second target object detection sensor are each 10mm beyond the target object 105 (i.e., each 10mm beyond the left and right sides of the center corresponding to the target object 105), and the mounting positions of the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor are each 10mm reduced with respect to the target object 105 (i.e., each 10mm reduced along the left and right sides of the center corresponding to the target object 105). In this way, positioning of the mounting apparatus within a second preset range (e.g., 10 mm) with respect to the target mounting position can be achieved based on the target object detection signals detected by the first target object detection sensor and the second target object detection sensor and the distance signals detected by the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor.
In addition, it should be understood that in the case where the target object detection signal and the distance signal satisfy the preset condition, it can be achieved that the mounting apparatus is located within the second preset range of the target mounting position. Specifically, the preset conditions for indicating that the mounting apparatus is located within the second preset range of the target mounting position may include: the target object detection signal indicates that no target object 105 is detected by either the first target object detection sensor or the second target object detection sensor, and the distance signal indicates that distance information is detected by both the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor. In this way, by judging the target object detection signal and the distance signal and the preset condition, it can be determined whether the mounting apparatus is located within the second preset range of the target mounting position.
Further, in some embodiments, the positioning system of the mounting apparatus may further include a programmable logic controller (Programmable Logic Controller, PLC) or encoder that may control the drive assembly based on the target object detection signal and the distance signal such that the drive assembly drives the mounting apparatus to move toward the target mounting location under its control. In addition, because the PLC supports the structured programming language (Structured Control Language, SCL), the problems of high error risk caused by too many nesting and high complexity of control by using the ladder diagram in the related technology can be reduced, and the failure rate is reduced.
Next, the present application also provides a positioning method. And, the positioning method can be applied to the positioning system described in any of the above embodiments.
Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a positioning method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the positioning method specifically may include the following steps:
s201, moving the installation equipment to a first preset range of a target installation position of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product through navigation of a navigation system;
s202, under the condition that the installation equipment moves to a first preset range of a target installation position, driving the installation equipment to move to the target installation position through a driving component based on a target object detection signal and a distance signal so as to enable the target object detection signal and the distance signal to meet preset conditions, wherein the preset conditions are used for indicating that the installation equipment is located in a second preset range of the target installation position, the second preset range is smaller than or equal to the first preset range, and the preset conditions are that the target object detection signal indicates that the target object is not detected and the distance signal indicates that the distance information is detected.
Therefore, the navigation installation equipment moves to a first preset range of a target installation position of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product through the navigation system, and preliminary positioning relative to the target installation position is achieved; then, driving the mounting equipment to move to the target mounting position based on the target object detection signal and the distance signal through the driving assembly, so that the mounting equipment can be positioned in a second preset range of the target mounting position, and secondary positioning is realized; because the second preset range is smaller than or equal to the first preset range, the positioning method can realize more accurate positioning of the mounting equipment relative to the target mounting position, namely, the positioning precision can be improved.
Specifically, in some embodiments, in step S201, the installation apparatus may be navigated by a plurality of navigation systems, and the plurality of navigation systems may be installed on at least one diagonal line of the installation apparatus main body structure. Therefore, the navigation installation equipment can be moved to a first preset range of the target installation position of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product through at least two navigation systems, preliminary positioning is achieved, and meanwhile, the deployment cost and complexity in the implementation process of the positioning method can be reduced.
It should be noted that, the preliminary positioning in step S201 can only achieve that the installation apparatus approaches the target installation position, that is, the installation apparatus is initially positioned so that the installation apparatus is located at a position, which may not meet the positioning accuracy requirement of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product for installation with respect to the target installation position, and further secondary positioning of the installation apparatus is required.
Thus, in some embodiments, in step S202, the relative positional relationship of the current position of the mounting apparatus and the target mounting position may be determined based on the target object detection signal and the distance signal; then, determining a target displacement direction according to the relative position relation; thus, the mounting apparatus is driven to move toward the target mounting position in accordance with the target displacement direction.
Wherein the target object detection signal can be obtained by detecting the target object by a first target object detection sensor and a second target object detection sensor distributed along the axial direction of the mounting device; the distance signal may be detected by a first distance detection sensor and a second distance detection sensor distributed along the axial direction of the mounting apparatus.
In some embodiments, the target object detection signal and the distance signal satisfy a preset condition, may include: the target object detection signal indicates that no target object is detected by either the first target object detection sensor or the second target object detection sensor, and the distance signal indicates that distance information is detected by both the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor.
That is, the target object detection signal indicates that either one of the first target object detection sensor and the second target object detection sensor detects the target object, or the distance signal indicates that either one of the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor does not detect the distance information, the preset condition is not satisfied.
To facilitate understanding of the step S202, the following description will further explain the specific implementation procedure of the step S202 by referring to fig. 1 (taking, as an example, a first target object detection sensor, a first distance detection sensor, a second distance detection sensor, and a second target object detection sensor that are axially distributed on the mounting apparatus main structure in fig. 1 and are distributed in the order of the x-axis direction).
For example, if the target object detection signal indicates that the first target object detection sensor detects the target object and the second target object detection sensor does not detect the target object, the relative positional relationship between the current position of the mounting apparatus and the target mounting position is such that the target mounting position is located in the positive direction of the x-axis direction of the current position, and the target displacement direction is determined to be the positive direction along the x-axis direction. Thus, the mounting apparatus is driven to move in the positive direction of the x-axis direction until the target object detection signal indicates that neither of the first target object detection sensor nor the second target object detection sensor detects the target object, and the distance signal indicates that both of the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor detect the distance information.
For another example, if the target object detection signal indicates that the first target object detection sensor does not detect the target object and the second target object detection sensor detects the target object, the mounting apparatus is driven to move in the negative direction of the x-axis direction until the target object detection signal indicates that neither the first target object detection sensor nor the second target object detection sensor detects the target object and the distance signal indicates that both the first distance detection sensor and the second distance detection sensor detect the distance information.
In the case where the target object detection signal indicates that the first target object detection sensor detects the target object and the second target object detection sensor does not detect the target object, the drive mounting apparatus is moved in the positive direction in the x-axis direction, if the target object detection signal indicates that the first target object detection sensor does not detect the target object and the second target object detection sensor detects the target object, the drive mounting apparatus is again driven to move in the negative direction in the x-axis direction, and so on. Therefore, based on the gradual approach of the judgment of the preset conditions, the target object detection signal and the distance signal can meet the preset conditions through 2-3 cyclic actions, so that the installation equipment is located in a second preset range of the target installation position, and the installation equipment is accurately positioned relative to the target installation position.
