Description

  The present invention relates to an identification information collection system that collects identification information of installed solar cell modules in a photovoltaic power generation system.

  In a solar power generation system, a plurality of solar cell modules (also referred to as “solar cell panel” or “solar panel”) are installed. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an installation state of the solar cell module in the solar power generation system. The plurality of solar cell modules 100 are arranged in a matrix, and are slightly inclined by the mounts 201, 202, and 203 in accordance with the direction of the sun.

  By the way, in the installation work of the solar power generation system, it is necessary to manage the identification information such as the model name and the production number and the arrangement position in association with each installed solar cell module. This is because, for example, in the case of a installed solar cell module, when a product defect occurs in a certain lot unit, the arrangement position of the solar cell module to be replaced can be specified.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, a bar code indicating identification information such as a model name and a manufacturing number is attached to the surface of each solar cell module. Therefore, conventionally, after installing the solar cell modules, barcodes attached to the respective solar cell modules are managed in association with the arrangement positions while manually reading the barcodes one by one.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, the identification information of the solar cell panel 1 is acquired by the maintenance terminal 2 carried and used by the worker, and the positional information indicating the position of the maintenance terminal 2 is also obtained as the positional information of the solar cell panel 1. The invention relating to the photovoltaic power generation system that is acquired as follows is described.

JP 2011-181853 A

  However, the number of solar cell modules in the solar power generation system reaches several thousand to several tens of thousands depending on the installation location, and barcodes attached to the respective solar cell modules are manually read one by one as in the past. With the method, the amount of work was enormous.

  According to the invention described in Patent Document 1, the position information of the maintenance terminal can be used as the position information of the solar cell panel, but the identification information of the solar cell panel itself is read manually one by one. There must be.

  Next, an identification information collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an identification information collecting system according to the present embodiment. The identification information collection system collects identification information of solar cell modules arranged in a matrix. In this embodiment, “row” refers to a group in the horizontal direction, and “column” refers to a group in the vertical direction. Referring to FIG. 13, starting from the lower right, the first row is the first row, the second row, the third row, and the left column is the first column, the second column, the third column, and so on. . For example, the solar cell modules 123 are arranged in 2 rows and 3 columns.

  The identification information collection system includes a reading device 10 and a management device 50. The reading device 10 reads identification information such as a model name and a serial number from a sign attached to each solar cell module while moving on the solar cell module. The reading device 10 mainly includes a main body unit 11, guide units 12 and 13, and reading units 15, 17, and 19. In the present embodiment, the label attached to the solar cell module is the barcode shown in FIG. 14, and the reading units 15, 17, and 19 are barcode readers.

  The main body 11 is a long member, and a guide 12 and a guide 13 are attached to both ends. The guide parts 12 and 13 guide the main body part 11 in the row direction of the solar cell module, and include a plurality of wheels 1 and 2. It should be noted that the distance between the guide part 12 and the guide part 13 can be adjusted by making the main body part 11 extendable and contracting or by making it possible to move the mounting position of the guide parts 12 and 13 with respect to the main body part 11. Is preferred. Further, if the main body 11 can be expanded and contracted and can be loaded on a truck or the like in a contracted state, it can be configured as a portable device that can be easily transported to the site.

  FIG. 2 shows the guide portion 12, and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. FIG. 3 shows the guide portion 13 and is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. The guide parts 12 and 13 are members having an L-shaped cross section, and a plurality of wheels 1 and 2 are rotatably attached via a bearing 3. The wheel 1 travels on the side surface of the solar cell module 100 during use. Further, the wheel 2 travels on the upper surface of the solar cell module 100 when in use.

  The reading units (barcode readers) 15, 17, and 19 are attached to the main body unit 11 through support members 14, 16, and 18, respectively. The positions of the reading units 15, 17, and 19 in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction of the main body unit 11) can be adjusted according to the positions of the signs of the solar cell module in use. Further, the reading units 15, 17, and 19 are movable with respect to the respective support members 14, 16, and 18, so that the position can be adjusted in the lateral direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1). The reading units 15, 17, and 19 correspond to the respective rows of the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix, and read the identification information of the corresponding rows.

  Here, it is preferable to arrange the reading units 15, 17 and 19 in different positions in the horizontal direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1). In FIG. 1, the reading unit 15 is on the left side with respect to the main body unit 11, the reading unit 17 is on the right side with respect to the main body unit 11, and the reading unit 19 is further on the right side with respect to the reading unit 17. This arrangement constitutes simultaneous reading preventing means. When the main body part 11 is moved, three reading parts 15, 17, 19 are arranged in each column of the solar cell modules arranged in a matrix. The reading timing is shifted so that the identification information is not read simultaneously. Thereby, it is possible to prevent data loss due to simultaneous transmission of the identification information read by the reading unit to the management apparatus.

  4 and 5 are a front view and a side view showing the reading unit 15 (17, 19). A leg portion 4 having a slide portion 5 at the lower end is attached to the tip of the support member 14 (16, 18) that supports the reading portion 15 (17, 19). In consideration of the case where the intermediate portion of the main body 11 is bent downward during use, the leg 4 is arranged so that the reading unit 15 (17, 19) does not contact the upper surface of the solar cell module 100. It is for supporting. In use, the reading device 10 moves while the slide unit 5 slides on the upper surface of the solar cell module 100.

  In the reading apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1, guide portions are provided at both ends (up and down) of the main body portion 11. Thus, by providing the guide portions at both ends, the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix can be set so as to be sandwiched from above and below by the guide portions 12 and 13 at both ends, as will be described later. The reading apparatus 10 can be moved more stably.

  On the other hand, the guide part may be provided only at one end of the main body part 11. For example, only the upper guide portion 12 of the main body portion 11 can be provided, and the lower guide portion 13 can be omitted. Since the solar cell module 100 is set to be slightly inclined as shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to guide the main body even if the guide is provided only on the upper side, further simplifying the reading device 10. be able to. Further, depending on the shape of the installation location of the solar cell module, the lower solar cell module may not be partially arranged (the tooth is in a missing state). In such a case, even if there is a guide portion on the lower side, it becomes impossible to travel, and on the contrary, it becomes difficult to move. Therefore, it is effective to provide the guide portion only on the upper side. At this time, the reading device 10 may be supported by the upper guide portion 12 and the support member 14 (16, 18) attached to the reading portion 15 (17, 19). Thus, if the guide part is provided only at one end, the arrangement shape of the solar cell module can be dealt with flexibly.

  In addition, the main-body part 11 and the guide parts 12 and 13 support member 14,16,18 can be comprised by arbitrary materials, such as a metal and resin.

  The management device 50 manages the identification information of the solar cell module 100 in association with the arrangement position of each solar cell module. For example, when the identification information read by the reading device is transmitted, A tablet terminal equipped with software for creating a tabular management slip corresponding to the identification information can be used. Note that a tablet terminal has high performance and high portability and is suitable for work, but any other information processing apparatus such as a laptop computer or a smartphone can be used.

  The reader 10 and the management device 50 can be configured with either a wired connection or a wireless connection. In the case of a wired connection, it is not necessary to provide a wireless relay device or the like, so the configuration of the reading device 10 becomes simple. In addition, power can be supplied to the reading unit along with data transmission / reception. On the other hand, in the case of wireless connection, it is necessary to provide a device for converting the read identification information into a wireless signal, a wireless signal relay device, a power supply device to the reading unit, and the like. Since it can operate in the position away from 50, the freedom degree of work increases.

  Next, a method for using the identification information collection system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the solar cell modules 100 (111, 112, 113,..., 121, 122, 123,..., 131, 132, 133,...) Arranged in a matrix. Then, the reading device 10 is set. At this time, the guide unit 12 of the reading device 10 is aligned with the upper end portion of the solar cell module 131 in the third row and first column, and the guide portion 13 is aligned with the lower end portion of the solar cell module 111 in the first row and first column. To do. In other words, the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix are set so as to be sandwiched from above and below by the guide portions 12 and 13 of the reading device 10. Then, the reading device 10 is moved in the direction of the arrow. For example, the movement may be performed manually while supporting the reading device 10. Of course, the reader 10 may be provided with a self-running function. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the reading device 10 has moved to the second row.

  When the reading device 10 moves in the left direction shown in FIG. 6, the reading units 15, 17, and 19 read the identification information in each column in order from the first column. That is, in the first column, the reading unit 15 reads the identification information of the module 111, the reading unit 17 reads the module 121, and the reading unit 19 reads the identification information of the module 131. Next, when moving to the second row, the reading unit 15 reads the identification information of the module 112, the reading unit 17 reads the module 122, and the reading unit 19 reads the identification information of the module 132. This is repeated sequentially. As described above, the reading units 15, 17, and 19 correspond to the first row, the second row, and the third row, respectively, and read the identification information of the corresponding rows in charge.

  The identification information of each column read by the reading device 10 is transmitted to the management device 50 by wire or wireless. At this time, a display screen 51 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the screen of the management apparatus 50. The display screen 51 shows the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix, and the shaded portion (or color display) indicates the column currently being read. It should be noted that a reading confirmation sound is emitted when reading of each column is completed. In addition, when reading fails, a reading failure sound may be generated.

  The identification information transmitted to the management device 50 is collected in a tabular management form 52 as shown in FIG. The management slip 52 is an “array number” indicating a group of solar cell modules, “vertical” indicating the arrangement position, “horizontal” display, “item 1”, “item 2”, “item 3”,. And “identification information”. In each item column, the operator can appropriately input a PCS (power conditioner) name, a current collection box name, a connection box name, a string circuit number, etc., and the identification information column is read by the reader 10. The transmitted identification information is automatically input. As described above, the identification information of the solar cell module 100 can be easily collected by reading the identification information while moving the reading device 10 and transmitting the read identification information to the management device 50. In addition, as long as the management method of the identification information in the management apparatus 50 is managed in association with the arrangement position of the solar cell module, the output format and the like are not particularly limited.

  Next, an example of identification information collection processing of the identification information collection system according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The process described below repeats reading the identification information of each solar cell module in an arbitrary column of the solar cell modules, and moves to the next column when reading of all the identification information in the column is completed. It shows the flow to do.

  First, the operator selects a reading direction by the reading device 10 (step S101). In FIG. 6 described above, a method of reading the identification information by moving the reading device 10 from the right to the left is shown. However, depending on the use situation, the identification information may be read from the left to the right. Therefore, the reading direction display 53 is selected from the display screen 51 of the management apparatus 50 shown in FIG. 7, and the reading direction display is reversed as necessary.

  Next, the operator inputs the number of characters N of the read information and the read character format to the management device 50 (step S102). The reading character format here means the order of lowercase letters and uppercase letters of numbers and letters.

  Next, the operator moves the reading device 10 and reads the identification information of the solar cell modules in the column to be read by the reading units 15, 17, and 19 (step S103). The reading units 15, 17, and 19 add codes before and after the read identification information, and transmit the identification information data to the management device 50 (step S104). For example, “a *” is added to the head and “*” is added to the end of the identification information data of the solar cell module in the first row. Further, “b *” is added to the head and “*” is added to the end of the identification information data of the solar cell module in the second row. Further, “c *” is added to the head and “*” is added to the end of the identification information data of the solar cell module in the third row. Note that the reading of the identification information by the reading units 15, 17, and 19 may be performed a plurality of times in order to prevent erroneous reading.

  Next, the management device 50 arranges the identification information data for each row based on the code of the transmitted identification information data (step S105). That is, the line number is determined by the first letter of the alphabet, and the subsequent character information from “*” to the ending “*” is recognized as identification information.

  Next, the management device 50 recognizes the number of characters of the read identification information data (the number of characters between “*” to “*”) as n (step S106) and compares it with the number of characters N input in step S102 (step S106). S107). If N ≠ n, it is determined that reading has failed, the read identification information data is deleted (step S108), and an error sound is issued (step S109). When the operator confirms the error sound, the operator rereads the identification information of the solar cell module that has failed to be read (step S103). If N = n, proceed to the next step.

  Next, the management device 50 compares the format of the read identification information data with the read character format input in step S102 (step S110). If the two formats are different, it is determined that reading has failed, the read identification information data is deleted (step S108), and an error sound is issued (step S109). When the operator confirms the error sound, the operator rereads the identification information of the solar cell module that has failed to be read (step S103). If both formats are the same, proceed to the next step.

  Next, the management apparatus 50 compares whether the read identification information data overlaps with the identification information data that has already been read in the same row (step S111). For example, when the identification information of the first row and the fifth column is currently read, it is compared with the identification information data of the first row and the fourth column and the first row and the third column of the previous two columns of the identification information data that has already been read. . In addition, when reading up to the seventh column and then returning to the fifth column for some reason and re-reading, the first two columns of the previous two columns of the identification information data already read and the first row 3 The identification information data in the first row, the sixth column, and the first row, the seventh column for the second column and the second column are compared. In this way, duplication of data is prevented from occurring in the same row. It should be noted that the number of comparison columns before and after can be set as appropriate. If the data is duplicated, it is determined that reading has failed, the read identification information data is deleted (step S108), and an error sound is issued (step S109). When the operator confirms the error sound, the operator rereads the identification information of the solar cell module that has failed to be read (step S103). If the data is not duplicated, proceed to the next step.

  Next, the management device 50 identifies the position read in the position of the solar cell module in the corresponding row in the cursor of the display screen 51 of the management device 50 shown in FIG. 7 (= the shaded portion indicating the column currently being read). Information is displayed (step S112).

  Next, the management device 50 determines whether or not the identification information of all the solar cell modules in the column has been acquired in the column currently being read (step S113). When the identification information of all the solar cell modules is acquired and the identification numbers are displayed at all positions within the cursor of the display screen 51, a reading completion sound is issued (step S114), and the cursor is moved to the next column. Move (step S115).

  If there is a solar cell module that has not yet read the identification number in the column currently being read, the reading completion sound is not issued and the cursor does not move. Therefore, the operator returns to step 103 and reads the identification information of the corresponding solar cell module by the reading device 10.

  In this way, since the reading of the identification information for one column is completed, the identification number of the next column is similarly read.

  For each solar cell module, the method of notifying the failure of reading the identification information may be an error sound as described above, or another notification method such as displaying a warning screen. In addition, for each column of solar cell modules, a method for notifying completion of reading of all identification information in the column may be a notification of a reading completion sound as described above, or other notifications such as displaying a completion screen. The method may be used.

  Note that the identification information collection system according to the present embodiment is premised on use under solar irradiation, but basically the barcode reader is premised on indoor use and does not take into account the effects of solar radiation. Therefore, it is preferable to provide sun protection umbrellas 6 and 7 as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, for example. The sun protection umbrellas 6 and 7 generate shadows around the reading unit 15 (17 and 19), and can prevent the barcode reader from failing to read due to sunlight. The temperature rise can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a reflective material on the surfaces of the sun protection umbrellas 6 and 7. Sunlight is reflected by the reflecting material, and the temperature rise of the reading unit 15 (17, 19) can be further suppressed.

  Moreover, it is preferable to provide an angle adjustment mechanism in the reading unit 15 (17, 19). This is because the angle of the reading unit needs to be changed depending on the state of attachment of the sign to the solar cell module and the kind of sign.

  FIG. 11 is a front view showing a support structure for the main body 11 according to another embodiment. A wheel 8 is rotatably attached to the main body 11 via bearings 9 and 9. The center part of the wheel 8 protrudes, and the protruding part is inserted into the gap between the adjacent solar cell modules 100 and 100. In this way, by supporting the main body 11, it is possible to improve the stability when the reading device 10 is used.

  FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a reading device 20 of an identification information collecting system according to another embodiment. The reading device 20 has substantially the same configuration as that of the reading device 10 except that the main body portion 21 is constituted by two long members 21a and 21b. The support members 24, 26, and 28 for attaching the guide portions 21, 22 and the reading portions 25, 27, 29 are arranged so as to connect the two long members 21a, 21b, and are configured in a ladder shape as a whole. Has been. By configuring like the reading device 20, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the entire device and increase the stability during use.

  According to the identification information collecting system according to the present embodiment, the reading device 10 moves in the row direction on the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix, and the main body portion 11 is connected to the rows of the solar cell modules 100. Since it has the guide parts 12 and 13 which guide to a direction, and the reading parts 15, 17, and 19 which read identification information from the label | marker 300 attached to the solar cell module 100, the main-body part 11 is adjusted according to the guide parts 12 and 13. The identification information of the arranged solar cell modules 100 can be read one after another by the reading units 15, 17 and 19 simply by moving them. Further, the management device 50 can manage the identification information in association with the arrangement position of each solar cell module 100. Therefore, the identification information of the solar cell module 100 can be easily collected by reading the identification information while moving the reading device 10 and transmitting the read identification information to the management device 50.

  Also, a plurality of reading units 15, 17, and 19 are provided, and the corresponding reading units 15, 17, and 19 read the identification information of each row of the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a matrix, so Identification information of the solar cell modules 100 arranged in a row can be easily collected.

  Further, by providing simultaneous reading preventing means for preventing simultaneous reading of the identification information by the plurality of reading units 15, 17, 19, the identification information read by the reading units 15, 17, 19 is simultaneously transmitted to the management device 50. This can prevent data loss and the like.

  Further, by providing the guide portions 12 and 13 at both ends of the main body portion 11, the solar cell module 100 can be sandwiched between the guide portions 12 and 13 at both ends, and the reading device 10 can be moved stably.

  Further, by providing the guide portion 12 at one end of the main body portion 11, the reading device 10 can be further simplified, and the arrangement shape of the solar cell module 100 can be dealt with flexibly.

  Further, by notifying each of the solar cell modules 100 of the failure to read the identification information, the identification information for each solar cell module can be reliably read.

  In addition, for each column of the solar cell module 100, by notifying completion of reading of all the identification information in the column, the identification information can be read without omission for the column being read, and moving to the next column Can be done smoothly.

  Further, by providing the sun protection umbrellas 6 and 7 that generate shadows around the reading units 15, 17, and 19, when the reading units 15, 17, and 19 are bar code readers, the influence of solar radiation is suppressed. The reading accuracy of the reading units 15, 17, 19 outdoors can be increased.

  In addition, by providing a reflective material on the surfaces of the sun protection umbrellas 6 and 7, it is possible to suppress an increase in the temperature of the reading units 15, 17 and 19 outdoors due to solar radiation.

  In addition, by providing an angle adjustment mechanism for the reading units 15, 17, and 19, the reading accuracy is improved by changing the angle of the reading units 15, 17, and 19 according to the attachment state of the marker 300 to the solar cell module 100. be able to.

  Also, by connecting the reading device 10 and the management device 50 by wire, the read identification information can be transmitted by wire, and there is no need to provide a wireless relay device or the like.

  Further, by wirelessly connecting the reading device 10 and the management device 50, the read identification information can be transmitted wirelessly, and the reading device 10 and the management device 50 can be operated at a remote position.

  As mentioned above, according to the identification information collection system which concerns on this embodiment, the identification information of each installed solar cell module 100 can be easily collected and managed.
