[0033] The photovoltaic module glass is placed on the pallet 200, and the photovoltaic module glass and the pallet 200 are transported to the feeding station 2 together. After the second transport mechanism 6 transports the spacer paper on the glass to the spacer paper placement position 5, the robot 8 transports the photovoltaic module glass to the conveyor line 7. When only the pallet 200 is left on the feeding station 2, the feeding station 2 positions the pallet 200, and the first transport mechanism 4 transports the pallet 200 on the feeding station 2 to the pallet placement station 3 for stacking and centralized placement. When the pallets 200 on the pallet placement station 3 reach the maximum placement capacity, the pallets 200 can be taken away at one time. The centralized placement of the pallets 200 takes a short time and the operation process is simple. It can also improve the degree of automation and save manpower.
[0034] In this embodiment, two manipulators 8 are provided corresponding to the feeding stations 2, which can improve the production rhythm and improve the production efficiency.
[0035] The feeding station 2 includes a first enclosure 21 and a second enclosure 22 which are arranged relatively parallel on both sides along the loading direction, and a limit lever 23 which is clamped on the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 and limits the forward movement of one end of the stack 200. The first enclosure 21, the second enclosure 22 and the limit lever 23 together form a accommodating cavity 24 for placing the stack 200 and the photovoltaic glass assembly. The opposite end of the limit lever 23 is the feeding port for the stack 200 and the photovoltaic assembly glass.
[0036] A limiting assembly 221 for limiting one side of the pallet 200 is disposed above the second enclosure 22 , and a pushing and positioning assembly 211 for pushing the other side of the pallet 200 opposite to the limiting assembly 221 for positioning is disposed above the first enclosure 21 .
[0037] The limiting assembly 221 includes a movable plate 2211 clamped on the second enclosure 22 and a positioning plate 2212 fixed on the movable plate 2211 and extending into the accommodating cavity 24 to hold and position one side of the pallet 200.

There are a plurality of first driving members 2111, and the pushing positioning plates 2112 are simultaneously fixed to the output ends of a plurality of first driving members 2111. The plurality of first driving members 2111 simultaneously drive the pushing positioning plates 2112 to be held against the side of the stack 200, thereby ensuring accuracy and stability during positioning.
[0039] When the pallet 200 and the photovoltaic module glass on the pallet 200 are placed in the accommodating chamber 24 through the feed port, the limit lever 23 is pressed and limited against the front end of the pallet 200, and the limit assembly 221 is pressed against the side of the pallet 200, and the robot moves the photovoltaic module glass to the conveyor line 7. When the photovoltaic module glass on the feeding station 2 is moved away and only the pallet 200 is left, the first driving member 2111 of the pushing positioning assembly 211 drives the pushing positioning plate 2112 to extend into the accommodating chamber 24 and push one side of the pallet 200 so that the other opposite side of the pallet 20 is pressed against the positioning plate 2212, thereby realizing the positioning of the pallet 200. Then the first conveying mechanism 4 conveys the pallet 200 to the pallet placing station 3. Before the pallet 200 is conveyed to the pallet placing station 3, the pallet 200 is positioned first, which can ensure that when the pallets 200 are stacked together, the edges of the pallets 200 are stacked neatly and will not collapse.
[0040] The first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 are both configured with a first serrated structure 212 at one end close to the limiting lever 23, and the limiting lever 23 can be clamped at different positions of the first serrated structure 212 of the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 according to pallets 200 of different lengths; a second serrated structure 2213 is provided on the movable plate 2211, and the movable plate 2211 can be installed on the second enclosure 22 using different positions of the second serrated structure 2213 according to pallets 200 of different widths; the first serrated structure 212 and the second serrated structure 2213 are configured to adapt to pallets of different sizes, and have good adaptability and high flexibility.

[0043] The first gripper module 43 includes a gripper frame 431 fixed at the end of the first transport frame 42, a plurality of hooking components 432 fixed on the sides of the gripper frame 431 and hooking the two sides of the pallet 200, a plurality of pressing components 433 fixed on the lower end of the gripper frame 431 and pressing the upper surface of the pallet 200, and a sensor component 434 fixed on the gripper frame 431 and detecting whether the pallet 200 is in place.
[0044] The hooking assembly 432 includes a fourth driving member 4321 and a positioning hook 4322 which is driven by the fourth driving member 4321 to move leftward or rightward so as to extend into a groove on the side of the pallet 200 and hook the pallet 200 .

[0046] The second transport mechanism 6 includes a second XZ axis driving module 61 , a second transport frame 62 driven by the second XZ axis driving module 61 to transport in the XZ direction, and a second gripper module 63 fixed below the second transport frame 62 .
[0047] When the feeding device 100 provided in the present solution is used, the photovoltaic module glass is placed on the pallet 200, the limit lever 23 is used to hold and limit the front end of the pallet 200, and the limit assembly 221 is used to limit the side of the pallet 200. After the second transport mechanism 6 transports the spacer paper on the glass to the spacer paper placement position 5, the manipulator 8 transports the photovoltaic module glass to the conveyor line 7. When the photovoltaic module glass on the feeding station 2 is transported and only the pallet 200 is left, the first driving member 2111 of the push positioning assembly 211 drives the push positioning plate 2112 to extend into the accommodating cavity 24 and push one side of the pallet 200 to make the stack 200 The other opposite side of the plate 20 is abutted against the positioning plate 2212, thereby realizing the positioning of the pallet 200. Then the first XZ-axis driving module 41 drives the first gripper module 43 to reach the top of the pallet 200. Several fourth driving members 4321 simultaneously drive several positioning hooks 4322 to hook the side of the pallet 200.

[0048] The present scheme provides a photovoltaic module glass loading device, which includes two feeding stations 2 and a pallet placement station 3 arranged side by side between the two feeding stations 2. When all the photovoltaic module glasses are transported to the conveyor line 7 and only the pallet 200 is left, the first transport mechanism 4 transports the pallet 200 on the feeding station 2 to the pallet placement station 3 for stacking and centralized placement. When the pallet 200 on the pallet placement station 3 reaches the maximum placement amount, the pallet 200 is taken away at once. The operation process of centralized placement of the pallet 200 is simple and the operation time is short, which avoids the long time of manually taking out the pallet 200 many times and affecting the production rhythm of the production line. It not only has high production efficiency and fast loading rhythm, but also has a high degree of automation, thereby saving manpower. Before the pallet 200 is transported, a limit lever 23, a limit assembly 221 and a push positioning assembly 211 are provided to position the pallet 200, which can ensure that when the pallet 200 is centralized and stacked, the edges of the pallet 200 are stacked neatly and will not collapse. Therefore, the loading device 100 provided in this solution solves the problem of manually taking out the pallets 200 for a long time multiple times and affecting the production rhythm of the production line. It can automatically place the pallets 200 in a centralized manner. The operation process of centralized placement of the pallets 200 is simple and the operation time is short, which not only saves manpower but also improves the production efficiency of the production line.
