Abstract
Description
特許文献2に記載されたような方法を採用して、液体中に筐体を浸漬することにより、筐体に雨水が侵入するような隙間、孔などが生じているか否かを確認することも考えられる。
[本開示の効果]
本開示によれば、濡れた筐体を乾燥させる必要がなく、全数検査の手間および労力が少なく、かつ検査工程を太陽光発電モジュールの製造ラインに組み込むことが容易な太陽光発電装置用筐体ユニットの圧力検査方法を実現することができる。
最初に本発明の実施態様を列記して説明する。
(集光型太陽光発電装置の構成)
図1は、一実施形態に係る集光型太陽光発電装置の構成を示す斜視図である。図1に示されるように、集光型太陽光発電装置20は、複数の太陽光発電モジュール10と、架台11と、複数のサポートアーム12と、複数のレール13とを有している。
複数のサポートアーム12および複数のレール13は、架台11に対して移動可能に構成されている。たとえば日の出から日没までの間、複数の太陽光発電モジュール10の受光面が太陽と正対するように、複数のサポートアーム12および複数のレール13の架台11に対する位置が変化する。
図2および図3は、図1に示す集光型太陽光発電装置に含まれる太陽光発電モジュールの構成を示す分解斜視図および組立断面図である。図4は、図3に示す太陽光発電モジュールからレンズ部材を取り外した筐体ユニットの構成を示す平面図である。
図5は、一実施形態に係る太陽光発電装置用筐体ユニットの内部圧力を測定する前の状態を示す断面図である。図6は、シールパッキンが独立気泡構造を有することを説明するための図である。
図7は、一実施形態に係る太陽光発電装置用筐体ユニットの圧力検査方法を示すフロー図である。図8は、一実施形態に係る太陽光発電装置用筐体ユニットの内部圧力を測定する状態を示す断面図である。
本発明者らは、上記圧力検査方法において内部空間1dを減圧した場合の内部空間1dの圧力変化を調べた。その結果を図9に示す。
本発明者らは、上記圧力検査方法において内部空間1dを減圧に代えて加圧した場合の内部空間1dの圧力変化を調べた。その結果を図10に示す。
本発明者らは、上記圧力検査方法において内部空間1dを減圧した場合の筐体ユニットHUのたわみ量について調べた。その結果を図11に示す。
本実施形態においては、図4および図8に示されるように、多孔質膜4を有する筐体ユニットHUの第1開口1bが閉じられた状態で内部空間1dの圧力が測定される。これにより筐体ユニットHUを液体に浸漬せずとも筐体ユニットHUの内部空間1dの圧力変化を測定することが可能となる。このため、濡れた筐体ユニットHUを乾燥させるための手間および広大な場所が不要となる。これにより、この圧力検査工程を太陽光発電モジュール10の製造ラインに組み込むインライン化が容易となり、簡単かつ短時間で検査ができる。また全数検査の手間および労力も小さくなる。
