Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic array installation. More particularly, the present application relates to a method of assembly line installation of photovoltaic arrays. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the construction process of large centralized photovoltaic power station field, the main work content includes piling, erecting installation support on the top of pile, installing purlin on the installation support, connecting photovoltaic modules through purlin and other structural members such as tie bar to form photovoltaic array, and then collecting the current generated by photovoltaic modules through power collection line. The most labor-intensive link is the installation of purlin, module and wiring. The method commonly used at present is still pure manual work. Workers stand on the scaffold, first install the installation support on the pile head, then place the purlin on the installation support and complete the lengthening and adjustment of the purlin, then place and adjust and fasten the structural materials such as modules, tie bars and other structural materials on the purlin one by one, and finally complete grounding and wiring.

[0003] The problems of this traditional manual work method are firstly that the labor intensity of workers is large, and all equipment and materials are manually transferred to the installation operation height by multiple people; secondly, the working conditions are poor, and workers are in a working state like "standing on the scaffold and lifting up their heads to complete the snatch" for a long time, which is not only extremely tiring but also very unsafe, and inevitably leads to low efficiency.

[0004] Another main reason for low installation efficiency is that the photovoltaic array is installed on the pile foundation, and the positioning error of the pile foundation is usually about 50 mm (the specification requires not more than 50 mm), while the allowable error of the installation hole on the purlin for module installation is only 2.5 mm in the east-west direction and 0.5 mm in the north-south direction. It is necessary to adjust the position of the support inclined beam (6) relative to the pile foundation and the position of the support inclined beam (6) relative to the purlin during the installation of the support on the pile top and the installation of the purlin, so that the positioning error of the installed purlin meets the requirements of module installation. This adjustment process requires workers to have corresponding knowledge and experience accumulation. However, due to the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the human market cannot provide enough skilled workers, and most workers entering the industry are transferred from other trades in the construction industry and do not have the corresponding knowledge and experience of photovoltaic installation, so the overall efficiency is low. Usually, the installation of 5 2*26 arrays by a 6-member skilled worker installation team working 8 hours a day is the efficiency limit, and a 2-member skilled worker and 4-member novice worker installation team working 8 hours a day usually cannot complete the installation of 3 2*26 arrays.

[0005] The installation method designed by the inventor and has been patented (Patent No. 202310917066.6) shows that the method indeed improves the working conditions of workers, liberates the operating workers from the working state of "standing on the scaffold and lifting the head to complete the snatch", at the same time, the workers complete the connection between the assembly and the purlin on the pre-assembly rack with positioning partition, thereby eliminating the factors affecting the installation efficiency caused by the positioning error of the purlin, thereby effectively improving the work efficiency. With the cooperation of a car hoist, 2 skilled workers and 4 general workers can complete the installation of 8 2*26 arrays per day for 8 hours. However, the scene adaptability of this method is poor. First of all, most large photovoltaic base projects in China are built in "sand, gobi, and barren" areas, and such areas are mostly subject to frequent strong winds, which greatly limits hoisting operations. Secondly, it cannot adapt to the needs of recent offshore, beach, and large water surface photovoltaic field project construction.

[0006] The patent (Patent No. 202410775372.5) "Photovoltaic array semi-finished product assembly method" applied by Shanghai Bojiao Robot Co., Ltd. adopts factory-like flow operation to complete the assembly of photovoltaic array semi-finished products. The use of mechanical hands to replace manual placement of photovoltaic components and other materials, and the use of assembly lines to complete the transfer of materials and semi-finished products can effectively reduce the labor in the material handling stage and improve labor productivity. However, in the key assembly stage, the method still adopts the traditional method of workers standing below the photovoltaic components on the assembly line to complete the connection and locking of the components and purlins. This requires operating workers to be in a head-up operating state for a long time, which is prone to fatigue and will inevitably lead to low overall efficiency. On the other hand, a common photovoltaic power station site is composed of several square arrays, each square array is composed of several rows of parallel photovoltaic arrays, and the spacing between the parallel arrays is usually no more than 14 meters. A 13-meter-long material transport vehicle is difficult to turn around in the installation site, and the photovoltaic array semi-finished product is a large piece with a length of more than 30 meters and a width of more than 2.3 meters. Transporting such a large piece from the semi-finished product production workshop to the installation site to complete the installation of the semi-finished product will inevitably lead to high installation costs, so the application of this method has very high limitations.

[0007] In view of the above background, the problems we need to solve are:

[0008] 1. How to realize the assembly of array semi-finished products in the installation site with high efficiency;

[0083] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0084] The present invention provides a method for assembling a photovoltaic array in an assembly line and installing the entire array. The method mainly utilizes a mobile work platform or a tool-type work platform with a compact factory assembly line as a photovoltaic array assembly and work platform (when used in scenes such as mudflats, water surfaces, and high piles on land, the platform can be a draggable tool-type work platform set up on the pile body; when used in land projects such as "sand, spear, and wasteland", the platform can be a vehicle-mounted mobile work platform). Taking mudflat projects as an example, the following can be done: Figures 1-2 As shown, the construction is directly carried out on the engineering pile (4), and the photovoltaic array is assembled and installed by factory-style flow operation on the platform. It includes: the raw material processing section of the photovoltaic array; the photovoltaic array assembly line and the installation section; in the raw material processing section of the photovoltaic array, the main tasks are to complete the distribution and transportation of the required materials, the lengthening of the purlins (2), etc.; in the photovoltaic array assembly line, the automatic pushing equipment cooperates with the component automatic reversing feeding equipment to push the photovoltaic components (1) one by one into the array reversible array conveyor rack, and the assemblers complete the assembly tasks such as fastening the purlins (2) and the photovoltaic components (1), DC wiring, and grounding connection next to the array reversible array conveyor rack; in the array installation section, the installers flip the photovoltaic array semi-finished products in the reversible array conveyor rack and place them on the translation rod, and the array semi-finished products on the translation rod are dragged (or pushed) to the designed installation position to complete the installation of the entire photovoltaic array.

[0085] At the feed end of the mobile work platform, a raw material processing section is set up above and below the platform. The various materials such as photovoltaic components (1), cables, purlins (2) required for the installation of the photovoltaic array are pre-processed in this section (such as unpacking and unbundling, inspection, transfer and distribution of bracket materials, combined joints of purlins (2), flipping and turning of photovoltaic component boxes, and recycling of packaging materials) before entering the photovoltaic array assembly line assembly and installation section. In the photovoltaic array assembly line and installation section, the main tasks are to complete the connection and fastening of purlins (2) and components, DC cable wiring, grounding wire installation, and tie rod installation, thereby forming a photovoltaic array semi-finished product. The photovoltaic array semi-finished product is then translated to the designed pile top support by the translation rod (15) and the installation workers manually complete the connection and fastening. In actual operation, the support inclined beam (6) and the photovoltaic array semi-finished product can also be assembled on the translation rod first and then installed as a whole on the pile head, such as when using the hinge support flip-in-place method in which the array and the translation rod are matched.

[0086] For specific engineering projects, the assembly method or the installation method of the present application can also be used separately. For example, in land project construction, the installation method of the present application can be used separately to translate and drag the pre-assembled array semi-finished product as a whole to the support for installation. In project construction with good transportation conditions, the assembly method of the present application can be used separately to assemble the photovoltaic array semi-finished product in the workshop, and then the semi-finished product is transported to the installation site for installation by using the installation method of the present application.

[0087] As shown in Figures 1-2 , in the raw material processing section, a purlin lengthening and conveying line (13) is provided, and the conveying line, together with the reversible array conveying frame and the automatic pushing device, constitutes an assembly production line. The photovoltaic module (1) is pushed into the reversible array conveying frame one by one by the automatic pushing device to be connected and fastened with the purlin (2). The assembly workers stand beside the production line to complete the connection and fastening between the purlin (2) and the module and other assembly work. The purlin lengthening and conveying line can be a simple support non-powered roller line, the roller surface height is consistent with the height and plane position of the purlin (2) in the reversible array conveying frame (14). The purlin (2) is assembled with the purlin joint piece and lengthened at this station. The lengthened purlin (2) enters the reversible array conveying frame (14) together with the array semi-finished product assembled at the front end.

[0088] As shown in Figures 1-2 , when applied to land high-pile and beach projects using high-pile tool-type mobile platforms, the photovoltaic module automatic lifting device (11) is used for feeding in the material processing section to lift the photovoltaic module (1) from the lower part of the platform to the assembly station. The photovoltaic module automatic lifting device (11) can be linked with the automatic pushing device (12) to start the automatic pushing device (12) when the photovoltaic module (1) is lifted to a set height to push the photovoltaic module (1) into the reversible array conveying frame (14). The photovoltaic module automatic lifting device (11) can be a simple lifting machine. The main raw materials such as the photovoltaic module (1) of the assembled array are lifted to the work platform by the lifting and conveying device from the pile bottom (ground or water surface). The lifting machine can be linked with the automatic pushing device (12) to start the automatic pushing device (12) when the photovoltaic module (1) is lifted to a set height to push the photovoltaic module (1) into the reversible array conveying frame (14). When used to lift support materials, reinforcing bars, cables and other materials, the lifting machine stops and discharges when it is lifted to a set parking position. The photovoltaic module automatic lifting device (11) can be telescopic to adjust its length according to the change of tidal water level.

[0089] Further, an automatic pushing device (12) is arranged on the upper part of the raw material processing section platform. When the mobile operation platform is used for land vehicle, the pushing device acts according to the set frequency and the automatic reversing step feeder (17) acts at the same frequency; when it is used for land high-pile and beach and water surface projects, it can be linked with the automatic lifting device (11) of the photovoltaic module.

[0090] As shown in Figure 19 , when the raw material processing section is arranged on the mobile operation platform, the front end of the automatic pushing device can be manually placed or an automatic reversing step feeder (17) can be arranged to supply the material. The device acts at the same frequency as the automatic pushing device (12), and after the previous photovoltaic module (1) enters the reversible array transfer frame (14), the module in the automatic reversing step feeder (17) is sent into the working position between the automatic pushing device (12) and the reversible array transfer frame (14) under the action of the clamping transmission belt. When the positive and negative poles of the module need to be switched in the array according to the design requirements of the string connection, the reversing motor of the module automatic reversing feeder can be started to realize the module reversing. Specifically, the reversing mode of the automatic reversing step feeder (17) is to rotate 180 degrees vertically in place, and the step pushing mode is to push the photovoltaic module (1) one by one to the pushing working position at a set frequency under the constraint of the clamping type conveyor belt in the device.

[0091] In another possible application scenario, as shown in Figure 19 , when the array reversible array transfer frame is arranged horizontally, the reversing mode of the automatic reversing step feeder (17) is to rotate 180 degrees horizontally in place, and at this time the step feeding mode is to lift the photovoltaic module (1) one by one to the height of the module pushing device at a set frequency.

[0092] As shown in Figure 20 , on the upper part of the raw material processing section platform, a photovoltaic module element box turnover mechanism (18) is also arranged (the photovoltaic module element box turnover mechanism is mainly used for mobile operation platform and is optional). The unopened photovoltaic module raw material box (3) is pushed into the automatic reversing step feeder (17) after being turned over vertically by the device.

[0093] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 20 , a reversible array transfer frame (14) is arranged in the assembly section. The reversible array transfer frame can be vertically arranged or horizontally arranged. When it is vertically arranged, the upper and lower ends of the reversible array transfer frame are provided with groove-shaped guide rail groups for the photovoltaic array to run in, and the photovoltaic module array is transferred in the groove-shaped guide rail groups.

[0094] The same side of the groove-shaped guide rail group (towards the purlin (2) side) is a movable or rotatable movable side, through the control of the movable side, the photovoltaic array in the guide rail can be constrained or released on the side (i.e. by moving the side to release the constraint of the array semi-finished product in the guide rail, so that the array semi-finished product can be separated from the reversible array conveying frame (14)).

[0095] At the same time, the lower roller of the lower end groove-shaped guide rail is rotatable, when the array semi-finished product is turned to separate from the reversible array conveying frame (14), the lower roller follows the array to rotate, that is, the lower end groove-shaped guide rail can rotate 90 degrees out of the axial plane, when the photovoltaic array in the turning guide rail is turned, the whole lower end groove-shaped guide rail can be turned accordingly with the photovoltaic array.

[0096] In addition, the groove-shaped guide rail group can be arranged on one side of the reversible array conveying frame, or on both sides of the reversible array conveying frame at the same time, and the installation of photovoltaic arrays on both sides is completed by using one reversible array conveying frame.

[0097] A winding drum driven by a winch is arranged in the lower base of the reversible array conveying frame (14), a plurality of guide pulleys (25) cooperating with the steel wire rope are arranged on the upper part of the reversible array conveying frame (14) (corresponding to the height of the upper purlin (2) of the photovoltaic array in the reversible array conveying frame). Figure 34 When it is needed to turn the photovoltaic array in the reversible array conveying frame to the translation rod out of the plane of the reversible array conveying frame, the steel wire rope connected to the winding drum and passing through the guide pulley provides traction for the turning of the photovoltaic array. That is, when the steel wire rope on the winding drum is wound around the upper guide pulley and connected to the purlin (2) through the hook, it can serve as the traction rope for the turning of the array semi-finished product to separate from the reversible array conveying frame (14), so that the array semi-finished product assembled in the conveying frame can be slowly turned and fallen on the translation rod (15) under the traction of the steel wire rope. When the steel wire rope on the winding drum is connected to the traction trolley (or traction chain) on the translation rod (15), it can provide traction force for the trolley.

[0098] The electric steel wire rope winding drum in the lower base of the reversible array conveying frame (14) is driven and controlled by an electric winch, which can serve as the traction power source of the trolley on the translation rod (15) (optional, when the translation rod is a hydraulic or electric multi-section telescopic type, the traction trolley is not needed), and when the traction steel wire rope of the trolley on the translation rod (15) is connected to the winding drum through the hook, the trolley can be tractioned to run on the translation rod (15).

[0099] The reversible array transfer frame (14) is a multi-section combined structure, and the reels in the base are connected by flexible couplings, facilitating processing, transportation and transfer on site. In actual application, the assembled photovoltaic array semi-finished product in the reversible array transfer frame can be directly laid on the pile head support to be installed under the traction of the steel wire rope, and then connected and fastened by the installation personnel. It can also be laid on the translation rod (15) and pulled to the array installation position at the distal end of the translation rod by the trolley (or chain) running on the translation rod, and then the inclination angle of the translation rod (15) is adjusted to make the array semi-finished product fall on the pile head support, and then the connection and fastening of the array semi-finished product and the pile head support are completed by the installation worker. The assembly section is provided with multiple workstations, which are connected and fastened workstations of components and purlins (2), structural member installation workstations such as reinforcing bars, wiring workstations, and grounding connection workstations. When a row of photovoltaic components (1) and purlins (2) enter the corresponding workstations in the reversible array transfer frame (14) in turn, the assembly workers complete the corresponding assembly work in turn.

[0100] In actual application, the translation rod (15) can be traction type or multi-section hydraulic telescopic type. When the traction type translation rod is adopted, the root of the translation rod is connected with the lower rotating shaft of the photovoltaic array transfer frame, and the upper part can be supported on the support by being attached to the pile head support. When the construction sequence of installing the pile head support after the photovoltaic array is in place is adopted, a hinge support can also be installed on the platform as the support of the translation rod (15). The positioning method of the photovoltaic array semi-finished product on the translation rod has two kinds, Figures 12-18 、 Figures 31-32 The direct positioning method of the translation rod (15) is shown in Figure 32 , in which (19) is a positioning clamp of the hinge support, and (20) is a steel wire rope. Figure 33 In the figure, the angle steel (22) is arranged on the trolley (21) and matched with the spatial position of the purlin (2), and the angle steel (22) is provided with a hook hole (23) matched with the steel wire rope hook. The trolleys (21) at the same spatial position are connected by a connecting rod (24), and the translation rods at the east and west ends are made into a sinkable structure in actual application, so that the relative position of the array semi-finished product on the trolley is maintained. Figure 34 In the figure, a spring (26) and a spring non-return mechanism (27) are further arranged and matched, which can prevent the trolley from sliding downward along the translation rod after the trolley stops running at the set position of the end of the translation rod.

[0101] Figures 3-11 、 The positioning method of the translation rod around the hinge support is shown in Figures 21-30 .

[0102] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the translation bar (15) is consistent with the number of pile head mounting bracket, so that the array structure stress state is consistent with the design. In actual application, the translation bar (15) can be similar to the telescopic multi-section of the car hoist arm, when using multi-section telescopic structure, the translation bar is provided with anti-skid baffle on the contact part with the array purlin. The translation bar (15) can also be composed of a straight bar and a trolley pulled by a steel wire rope connected with a winding drum in the base of the reversible array conveying frame (14). The root of the translation bar (15) is connected with the base of the reversible array conveying frame (14), which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0103] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3-11 , the hinged support (16) mounted on the reversible array conveying frame (14) is used as the rotating support of the translation bar (15), which is used when the array is installed by turning.
