DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 The photovoltaic module waste recycling device provided by the present invention is now described. The photovoltaic module waste recycling device comprises: a splitting mechanism, a squeezing mechanism and a running mechanism, wherein the splitting mechanism is used to provide a working area for the splitting of photovoltaic modules; the squeezing mechanism is used to compress the waste 1; the running mechanism is arranged on the splitting mechanism, and the running mechanism is used to collect the split waste 1 and run the waste 1 to the squeezing mechanism.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the photovoltaic module waste recycling device provided by the present invention is that after the photovoltaic module is split on the splitting mechanism, the operator can directly throw the frame waste 1 to the operating mechanism at the workstation, thereby improving work efficiency. The operating mechanism automatically transports the waste 1 to the extrusion mechanism to prevent the waste 1 from being scattered or hooked together during manual transportation, while also preventing the waste 1 from cutting the operator, thereby improving safety at work. Then the extrusion mechanism compresses the waste 1. The entire process realizes fully automated recycling, greatly improving work efficiency. The present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate, thereby improving work efficiency during the waste 1 recycling process and saving labor costs. At the same time, it avoids safety accidents that occur during the transportation of the waste 1, thereby improving the safety factor.

[0046] As a specific embodiment of the photovoltaic module waste recycling device provided by the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The splitting mechanism includes: a workbench 2 and a support frame 8; the support frame 8 is connected to the workbench 2, and the support frame 8 is used to provide support for the workbench 2.

[0047] The operator completes the disassembly of the photovoltaic module on the workbench and throws the waste 1 into the operating mechanism. The support frame 8 can be fixed on the ground to increase the stability of the workbench 2. The support frame 8 can be set as a telescopic structure, and the height of the support frame 8 can be adjusted as needed to improve the comfort of work. The support frame 8 can be selected as a cylinder with a hollow structure in the middle, which saves materials and reduces costs.

[0048] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The operating mechanism includes: a slide 6, a connecting rod 4, a collecting box 3 and a reset assembly. The slide 6 is arranged on a supporting frame 8; a pulley 4-1 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 4, and the pulley 4-1 is slidably matched with the slide 6; the collecting box 3 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 4, and the collecting box 3 is arranged at the lower part of the workbench 2 for collecting waste 1; the reset assembly is arranged on the supporting frame 8 for resetting the connecting rod 4.

[0049] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The slide 6 includes a first slide and a second slide. The first slide is a straight slide or a spiral slide distributed along the vertical direction. The top of the second slide is connected to the bottom plate of the first slide and is spiral.

[0050] When the waste 1 in the collection box 3 accumulates to a certain amount, the gravity of the collection box 3 increases. Under the action of gravity, the pulley 4-1 first slides down along the first slide 6, and then slides along the second slide. In the process of sliding along the second slide, the pulley 4-1 completes the synchronous movement in the horizontal and vertical directions. When the pulley 4-1 slides to the bottom of the slide 6, the collection box 3 is opened, and the waste 1 in the collection box 3 is poured into the extrusion mechanism. The weight of the collection box 3 is reduced, and the pulley 4-1 returns to the initial position along the slide 6 under the action of the reset component.

[0051] The device can complete the transportation of waste 1 by gravity, without external power, saving energy. At the same time, no human intervention is required in the process from collecting waste 1 to dumping waste 1, reducing the harm to personnel during transportation, and avoiding the danger caused by frame waste 1 hooking together or scattering during transportation.

[0052] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The reset assembly includes: an elastic member 7, a compression member 5-1 and a fixing member 5-2. The elastic member 7 is arranged on the support frame 8 and is mounted outside the slideway 6 to reset the connecting rod 4. The elastic member 7 can be a compression spring. The compression member 5-1 is arranged on the upper part of the elastic member 7 and is mounted outside the support frame 8. The compression member 5-1 is rotatably connected to the support frame 8 and is used to compress the elastic member 7. The connecting rod 4 is connected to the compression member 5-1. When the gravity in the collection box 3 reaches a certain level, the connecting rod 4 and the compression member 5-1 slide along the slideway 6 under the action of the pulley 4-1. The compression member 5-1 compresses the elastic member 7 to cause the elastic member 7 to produce elastic deformation. The fixing member 5-2 is arranged at the lower part of the elastic member 7 and is connected to the elastic member 7. The fixing member 5-2 is fixed to the support frame 8 and is used to fix the elastic member 7.

[0053] When the waste 1 in the collection box 3 increases and the gravity increases, the compression member 5-1 squeezes the elastic member 7, causing the pulley 4-1 to slide down along the slideway 6, while driving the collection box 3 to move. When the pulley 4-1 slides to the bottom of the slideway 6, the collection box 3 is at the upper part of the squeezing mechanism, pouring out the waste 1 in the collection box 3, reducing the gravity in the collection box 3, and the elastic member 7 restores its elastic deformation, moving the pulley 4-1 up along the slideway 6, and the collection box 3 returns to its original position.

[0054] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The compression member 5-1 is a circular ring mounted on the support frame 8. The side wall of the compression member 5-1 is provided with a through hole for accommodating the connecting rod 4. The compression member 5-1 rotates in coordination with the support frame 8. When the pulley 4-1 slides along the slideway 6, the connecting rod 4 drives the compression member 5-1 to rotate synchronously, and the circular compression member 5-1 rotates along the support frame 8 and moves downward.

[0055] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The extrusion mechanism includes: an extrusion box 10, a first extrusion assembly and a second extrusion assembly. The top and side walls of the extrusion box 10 are both provided with openings. The first extrusion assembly is arranged at the opening of the side wall of the extrusion box 10. The first extrusion assembly includes a first drive device 9 and a first extrusion plate 10-2. The first drive device 9 drives the first extrusion plate 10-2 to extrude the waste 1 in the horizontal direction. The second extrusion assembly is arranged at the opening of the top of the extrusion box 10. The second extrusion assembly includes a second drive device 11 and a second extrusion plate 10-1. The second drive device 11 drives the second extrusion plate 10-1 to extrude the waste 1 in the vertical direction. The drive device can be a power mechanism such as a hydraulic press or a cylinder.

[0056] After the waste 1 enters the extrusion box 10, the first driving device 9 drives the first extrusion plate 10-2 to extrude the waste 1 in the vertical direction. After the vertical extrusion is completed, the first extrusion plate 10-2 is reset; the second driving device 11 drives the second extrusion plate 10-1 to extrude the waste 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0057] Preferably, the thickness of the side wall of the extrusion box 10 is greater than the thickness of the second extrusion plate 10-1. When the second extrusion plate 10-1 is in the initial position, the second extrusion plate 10-1 shrinks in the side wall of the extrusion box 10 to prevent the first extrusion plate 10-2 from causing damage to the second extrusion plate 10-1 during the stroke.

[0058] Preferably, both the first driving device 9 and the second driving device 11 are provided with pressure sensors for controlling the driving force during the extrusion process to avoid damage to the collection box 3 due to excessive pressure, and to avoid excessive pressure causing the compressed waste 1 to be too large in volume and occupy space.

[0059] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The extrusion mechanism also includes a door panel 10-3, which is arranged on the side wall of the extrusion box 10 opposite to the second extrusion assembly. The door panel 10-3 is slidably matched with the extrusion box 10. The door panel 10-3 is connected to the third driving device 12, and the third driving device 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the door panel 10-3.

[0060] The door panel 10-3 and the extrusion box 10 slide in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. This embodiment takes the vertical sliding cooperation of the door panel 10-3 and the extrusion box 10 as an example. When the waste 1 in the extrusion box 10 needs to be extruded, the door panel 10-3 is closed; when the extrusion is completed, the third drive device 12 drives the door panel 10-3 to slide upward, and the door panel 10-3 opens. The second drive device 11 drives the second extrusion plate 10-1 to push the waste 1 out of the extrusion box 10 to complete the unloading. Then the third drive assembly drives the door panel 10-3 to slide down and reset.

[0061] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 One side of the bottom plate of the collecting box 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the collecting box 3. The side wall of the collecting box 3 is also provided with a switch 3-1 for locking with at least one side of the bottom plate of the collecting box 3. The switch 3-1 is used to control the opening and closing of the bottom of the collecting box 3.

[0062] Preferably, the switch 3-1 can be an electric switch 3-1 or an electromagnetic switch 3-1. The collection box 3 can be made of carbon steel material, which has high hardness and is resistant to wear. In this case, the electromagnetic switch 3-1 can be selected. When the collection box 3 is filled with waste 1, the electromagnetic switch 3-1 is energized, and the bottom and side walls of the collection box 3 are sealed under the action of magnetic force; when the collection box 3 needs to dump the waste 1, the switch 3-1 is turned off, and there is no magnetic force between the bottom and side walls of the collection box 3, and they are separated under the action of gravity, and the waste 1 slides out.

[0063] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The extrusion mechanism further includes: a feeding plate 10-4, one end of which is connected to the opening of the side wall of the extrusion box 10, and the feeding plate 10-4 is tilted downward. When the extruded waste 1 is discharged from the extrusion box 10, it slides out smoothly through the feeding plate 10-4. This process completely relies on gravity, and no external driving force is required. The structure is simple and convenient, and energy saving.

[0064] As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 The photovoltaic module waste recycling device also includes: a transfer box 13, which is used to dock with the other end of the feed plate and transfer the extruded waste 1 to the storage area. After the waste 1 is discharged from the extrusion box 10, it is directly transported to the transfer box 13. The transfer box 13 can be placed under the feed plate 10-4, and the waste 1 is discharged from the extrusion box 10 and then directly enters the transfer box 13 under the action of the feed plate 10-4, and then the transfer is completed. A tray can be set at the bottom of the transfer box, or a pulley 4-1 can be set at the bottom of the transfer box to facilitate transportation and transfer.
