Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to solar energy component packaging equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, solar panels are generally packaged in cartons or wooden boxes. Traditional component packaging uses multi-layer corrugated paper panels and multi-layer corrugated paper covers to buckle together, and then uses plastic strapping to package the components. However, this packaging method has low packaging efficiency, high packaging costs, and is not environmentally friendly.

[0003] A document reports a packaging process for solar panels, which includes placing the product in an oven for baking for twenty seconds and then taking it out of the oven. Before baking, the oven is preheated. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a solar module packaging device, which can improve packaging efficiency and reduce packaging costs.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions to achieve the above purpose.

[0006] The utility model provides a solar module packaging device, comprising a supporting tray, a heat shrink film set unit and a transmission shaping unit.

[0007] The support tray is used to support the solar energy components;

[0008] The heat shrinkable film suiting unit comprises a heat shrinkable plastic film, which is configured to be sleeved on the outside of the solar module, and at least most of the support tray is not covered by the heat shrinkable plastic film, thereby forming a whole tray assembly;

The settings of the heating cover, bracket, conveyor belt and roller can be those known in the art, and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions, as long as the functions of heating, supporting and moving the entire tray assembly can be achieved. The entire tray assembly is sent to the conveyor belt, and the entire tray assembly is moved to the storage space by the movement of the conveyor belt. The heating cover can be evenly heated to 50-200°C, so that the heat shrinkable plastic film is shrunk and fixed on the surface of the solar module, which plays a packaging role.

[0012] In the utility model, the whole tray assembly can be automatically moved in the accommodation space under the movement of the conveyor belt, and the obtained finished product assembly can automatically leave the accommodation space under the movement of the conveyor belt, which can improve efficiency.

In this way, the entire support assembly can be heated more evenly, that is, the heat-shrinkable plastic film can be heated more evenly, and can shrink better when heated and adhere to the outer surface of the solar module and the fixing belt. In some embodiments, the heating wires can be evenly distributed in a spiral shape. In other embodiments, the heating wires can be distributed in a mesh shape.

[0016] According to the solar module packaging equipment of the utility model, preferably, the inner wall section of the heating cover is rectangular, so as to adapt to the shape of the entire tray module.

[0017] According to the solar module packaging equipment described in the utility model, preferably, the conveying and shaping unit also includes a temperature control module, and the temperature control module is electrically connected to the heating wire and is used to control the heating of the heating wire. In this way, the temperature of the heating wire can be better controlled. In the utility model, the temperature control module can be arranged on the bracket or on the heating cover body.

[0021] According to the solar module packaging equipment of the utility model, preferably, the heat shrink film suiting unit further includes a six-degree-of-freedom robot, and the six-degree-of-freedom robot is configured to be able to cover the heat shrinkable plastic film on the outside of the solar module, which can further improve the packaging efficiency.

[0022] In the present invention, the heat shrinkable plastic film can also be manually applied to the outside of the solar module. However, using a robot to apply the film can improve efficiency. The source of the six-degree-of-freedom robot is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the functions of the present invention.

[0023] According to the solar module packaging equipment described in the utility model, preferably, the support tray includes an upper tray, support legs and a lower connecting plate; the upper tray includes a plurality of longitudinal connecting plates and a plurality of transverse support plates; the plurality of longitudinal connecting plates are arranged relatively parallel to each other; a plurality of transverse support plates are arranged on the longitudinal connecting plates, and the plurality of transverse support plates are arranged relatively parallel to each other; the transverse support plates are perpendicular to the longitudinal connecting plates; the support legs are multiple and vertically arranged below the upper tray; the lower connecting plates are arranged below the support legs, and there are multiple of them, and each lower connecting plate is respectively connected to a plurality of support legs. Such a support tray structure can fix solar modules on the one hand, and can save materials, reduce costs and reduce dead weight on the other hand. In the utility model, the upper tray has a structure similar to a slatted frame.

[0024] In certain embodiments, when placed, the length direction of the solar module is consistent with the length direction of the longitudinal connecting plate. The solar module is in direct contact with the transverse supporting plate.

[0025] The solar module packaging equipment of the utility model can improve the packaging efficiency and reduce the packaging cost of solar modules. Traditional cartons and wooden boxes are relatively wasteful of resources. After adopting environmentally friendly and degradable heat-shrinkable plastic films, the packaging cost problem can be greatly reduced and it is more environmentally friendly. In addition, the obtained finished components can also reduce transportation costs. Plastic films are lighter than cartons and wooden boxes, which reduces transportation weight and plays a role in energy conservation and emission reduction. In addition, the obtained finished components can also improve waterproof performance. Cartons and wooden boxes have poor waterproof and moisture-proof effects. Cartons and wooden boxes will also absorb water vapor in the air, causing wrinkling and mold. Plastic packaging has excellent barrier properties and permeability, which avoids erosion by water vapor.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the relative positions of the solar energy assembly and the support tray of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of the whole support assembly of the utility model. Figure 3 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of a support tray. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of the transmission and shaping unit of the utility model.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the solar module packaging equipment of this embodiment is used to package and fix the solar module 10. The solar module packaging equipment includes a support tray 100, a heat shrink film set unit 200, a fixing belt 300 and a conveying and shaping unit 400.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the support tray 100 is used to support the solar module 10. The support tray 100 includes an upper support plate 110, support legs 120 and a lower connecting plate 130. The upper support plate 110 is arranged horizontally. The upper support plate 110 includes a plurality of longitudinal connecting plates 111 and a plurality of transverse supporting plates 112. The plurality of longitudinal connecting plates 111 are arranged relatively parallel to each other. The plurality of transverse supporting plates 112 are arranged on the longitudinal connecting plates 111, and the plurality of transverse supporting plates 112 are arranged relatively parallel to each other. The transverse supporting plates 112 are perpendicular to the longitudinal connecting plates 111. The solar module 10 is placed on the transverse supporting plates 112. The solar module 10 is placed vertically. The length direction of the solar module 10 is consistent with the length direction of the longitudinal connecting plates 111. There are a plurality of supporting legs 120, which are vertically arranged below the longitudinal connecting plates 111 of the upper support plate 110 and are evenly distributed. The lower connecting plate 130 is arranged below the supporting legs 120. There are multiple lower connection plates 130, and each lower connection plate 130 is respectively connected to multiple support legs 120. The lower connection plates 130 are parallel to the longitudinal connection plates 111.

[0041] The fixing belt 300 can be wound around at least a portion of the support tray 100 and the solar module 10, so as to fix the solar module 10. The fixing belt 300 may include a longitudinal fixing belt and a vertical fixing belt. The longitudinal fixing belt is used to wrap around the solar module 10 longitudinally (i.e., along the length direction of the solar module 10). The vertical fixing belt is used to wrap around the solar module 10 and the upper support plate 110 of the support tray 100 from the width direction of the solar module 10. The fixing belt 300 is located between the solar module 10 and the heat shrinkable plastic film. In this embodiment, the fixing belt 300 is in the shape of a long strip.

[0042] The heat shrinkable film suit unit 200 includes a heat shrinkable plastic film (not shown). The heat shrinkable plastic film can be sleeved on the outside of the solar module 10 and the fixing belt 300, and at least most of the support tray 100 is located outside the heat shrinkable plastic film (that is, at least most of the support tray 100 is not covered by the heat shrinkable plastic film), thereby forming a whole tray assembly 20. In this embodiment, the heat shrinkable plastic film has a structure similar to a packaging bag. The heat shrinkable plastic film is larger than the size of the solar module and is very convenient to sleeve. In this embodiment, the heat shrinkable plastic film can be sleeved by manual operation.

[0043] The conveyor shaping unit 400 includes a heating cover 410, a conveyor belt 420, a roller (not shown), a bracket 430, a temperature control module (not shown), and a support seat (not shown).

The cross-section of the inner wall of the heating cover 410 is rectangular. The storage space is basically a tunnel structure.

[0044] The heating cover 410 heats the whole support assembly 20, so that the heat shrinkable plastic film shrinks due to the heat and closely adheres to the outer surface of the solar module 10 and the outer surface of the fixing belt 300 and covers the solar module 10 and the fixing belt 300, thereby forming a finished assembly 30. Specifically, the heating cover 410 includes a heating cover body and heating wires, and the inner wall of the heating cover body is provided with heating wires, and the heating wires are evenly distributed in a mesh shape.

[0045] The roller (not shown) is disposed on the bracket 430, and the roller drives the conveyor belt 420 to move along the length direction of the bracket 430 by rolling, thereby driving the whole tray assembly 20 to enter the accommodation space and allowing the finished assembly 30 to leave the accommodation space. In this embodiment, the finished assembly 30 can be naturally cooled to room temperature.

[0046] The temperature control module is electrically connected to the heating wire on the heating cover 410 to control the heating of the heating wire. A support base (not shown) is disposed below the bracket 430 to support the bracket 430 and the heating cover 410 .

[0048] Except for the following differences, the rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1:

[0049] The heat shrink film encapsulation unit 200 further includes a six-degree-of-freedom robot (not shown). The six-degree-of-freedom robot can encapsulate the heat shrinkable plastic film on the outside of the solar module 10. This can achieve automated encapsulation and further improve packaging efficiency.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Except for the following differences, the rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 2:

[0052] The heating wires are basically evenly distributed in a spiral shape.

[0053] Example 4

[0054] Except for the following differences, the rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 3:

[0055] The conveying and shaping unit 400 further includes a refrigerator (not shown), which is arranged near the accommodation space and is used to cool the finished component 30 leaving the accommodation space. The temperature can be reduced to room temperature. In this embodiment, the refrigerator can be a fan. This can improve efficiency.
