[0030] Example 1

[0031] As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a smart installation device for a photovoltaic module 1, including a support frame 4, a mounting frame 5, and a controller. The mounting frame 5 is disposed on the top of the support frame 4, and first slide rails 10 are provided on both sides of the support frame 4. The first slide rails 10 are adapted to first sliders 11 provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 5, allowing the support frame 4 and the mounting frame 5 to slide relative to each other. A movable beam 6 is connected to the top of the mounting frame 5, and a second slider 12 is fixed to the bottom of the movable beam 6. The second slider 12 is adapted to a second slide rail 13 provided on the top of the mounting frame 5, and the second slide rail 13 is parallel to the first slide rail 10, allowing the movable beam 6 and the mounting frame 5 to slide relative to each other. A first crossbeam 7, a pressure plate mechanism 8, and a second crossbeam 9 are also fixed parallel to each other on the top of the mounting frame 5. The first crossbeam 7 is located between the movable beam 6 and the pressure plate mechanism 8, and the second crossbeam 9 is located at the front end of the mounting frame 5. Electric screwdrivers are installed on the first crossbeam 7 and the second crossbeam 9. The controller is electrically connected to the electric screwdriver.

[0032] The support frame 4 is symmetrically provided with retraction cylinders 14 inside the first slide rail 10. The piston rod of the retraction cylinder 14 is connected to the mounting frame 5. The retraction cylinder 14 is located on the right side of the movable beam 6. The controller is electrically connected to the retraction cylinder 14.

[0033] A set of rope-clamping cylinders 15 and clamps 16 are fixedly connected to each side of the movable beam 6. The clamps 16 are connected to the piston rod of the rope-clamping cylinders 15. A buffer cylinder 17 is installed in the middle of the movable beam 6. The buffer cylinder 17 is perpendicular to the movable beam 6, and its piston rod is connected to the first crossbeam 7. The controller is electrically connected to the rope-clamping cylinders 15 and the buffer cylinders 17.

[0034] The pressure plate mechanism 8 has vertically arranged pull-down cylinders 18 on both sides, which move up and down. The piston rods at the top of the pull-down cylinders 18 are fixedly connected to the pull-down plates 19. The tops of the pull-down plates 19 on both sides are horizontally arranged clamping cylinders 20, which move inward and outward. The piston rods of the clamping cylinders 20 on both sides are arranged opposite each other. There are four clamping cylinders 20, which are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the pull-down plates 19 on both sides. Each end of the pull-down plate 19 is also provided with a pressing cylinder 21. The pressing cylinders 21 on both sides of the pull-down plate 19 are symmetrical. The piston rods of the pressing cylinders 21 move up and down perpendicular to the pull-down plates 19. A pressure plate is fixed on the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 21. The controller is electrically connected to the pull-down cylinders 18, clamping cylinders 20, and pressing cylinders 21. Before the photovoltaic module 1 is positioned above the pressure plate mechanism, the pressure plate of the pressing cylinder 21 rotates to the outside of the pressure plate mechanism. When the photovoltaic module 1 is above the pressure plate mechanism, the clamping cylinder 20 moves relative to clamp and fix the photovoltaic module 1 on both sides. The pressure plate of the pressing cylinder 21 rotates to the inside of the pressure plate mechanism, above the photovoltaic module 1. At this time, the pressing cylinder 21 presses down, causing the pressure plate to press against the top of the photovoltaic module 1. Then, the pulling cylinder 18 moves downward, causing the photovoltaic module 1 to fall onto the steel strand. Because the photovoltaic module 1 has a large area and is brittle, it is prone to breakage during movement. Therefore, the pressing cylinder 21 is set to press against the upper surface of the photovoltaic module 1 to make the photovoltaic module 1 more stable during movement and prevent it from breaking due to inertia.

[0035] A first cylinder 22 is symmetrically mounted on both sides of the first crossbeam 7. The piston rod of the first cylinder 22 is parallel to the first crossbeam 7, and the piston rod is fixedly connected to an electric screwdriver with the screwdriver bits facing each other. A second cylinder 23 is symmetrically mounted on both sides of the second crossbeam 9. The piston rod of the second cylinder 23 is parallel to the second crossbeam 9, and the piston rod is fixedly connected to an electric screwdriver with the screwdriver bits facing each other. A third cylinder 24 is also symmetrically mounted on both sides of the second crossbeam 9, located to the right of the second cylinder 23. The piston rod of the third cylinder 24 is parallel to the second crossbeam 9, and the piston rod is fixedly connected to an electric screwdriver with the screwdriver bits facing each other. The controller is electrically connected to the first cylinder 22, the second cylinder 23, and the third cylinder 24, and the cylinders can drive the electric screwdrivers connected to them to move on their respective guide rails. The electric screwdriver is equipped with a guide bar 26 at its end, which is parallel to the screwdriver bit. The guide bar 26 has a slanted notch at its front end, which can partially lock the latch, ensuring that the latch mounting hole is aligned with the screwdriver bit. This allows the electric screwdriver to operate stably without shaking when driving bolts. Cams are also provided on the first crossbeam 7 and the second crossbeam 9 at the positions where the steel strand passes, which can serve as support points for the steel strand and prevent it from shaking violently up and down.

[0036] An acceleration cylinder 25 is installed in the middle of the first crossbeam 7. The acceleration cylinder 25 is perpendicular to the first crossbeam 7. The acceleration cylinder 25 is arranged opposite to the buffer cylinder 17 with their axes coinciding. The piston rod of the buffer cylinder 17 is connected to the piston rod of the acceleration cylinder 17. The controller is electrically connected to the acceleration cylinder 25.

[0037] During the installation of photovoltaic module 1, two steel strands are suspended parallel above the installation device and move horizontally on the water surface. The steel strands pass through clamp 16, and the direction of movement of the steel strands is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the movable beam 6 points towards the second crossbeam 9. The support frame 4 remains fixed, and the cylinder side of the retracting cylinder 14 faces the forward direction of the steel strand. In this embodiment, the photovoltaic modules 1 are installed in groups, typically six modules 1 per group, with the installation steps for the second to fifth modules 1 being identical. Four locking clips are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the photovoltaic module 1 to secure it to the steel strand. During installation, the locking clip side is parallel to the direction of movement of the steel strand. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, the latches on photovoltaic module 1 are divided into two groups, namely the first group of latches 2 and the second group of latches 3.

[0038] The initial state before installation is as follows: buffer cylinder 17, retraction cylinder 14, pull-down cylinder 18, and press-down cylinder 21 are all in the extended state, while rope clamping cylinder 15, acceleration cylinder 25, and clamping cylinder 20 are in the retracted state.

[0039] Installation of the first photovoltaic module 1: Photovoltaic module 1 is positioned above the mounting device. Clamping cylinder 20 extends, and pressing cylinder 21 retracts, securing photovoltaic module 1. Then, rope clamping cylinder 15 extends, driving clamp 16 to secure the steel strand. At this time, mounting frame 5 moves synchronously with the steel strand, and mounting frame 5 compresses the piston rod of retracting cylinder 14. Then, pulling cylinder 18 retracts, moving downwards to lower photovoltaic module 1 onto the steel strand. At this point, the latch passes through the steel strand. Because photovoltaic module 1 is placed on mounting frame 5 by a robotic arm, it can be precisely positioned, ensuring that after pulling down, the first set of latch 2 mounting holes of photovoltaic module 1 aligns with the first crossbeam 7. The screwdriver bit on the upper part of the electric screwdriver is aligned with the screwdriver bit on the second crossbeam 9 through the mounting holes of the second set of locking buckles 3. The second cylinder 23 pushes the electric screwdriver to install and fix the second set of locking buckles 3, and then retracts. Subsequently, the clamping cylinder 20, the pressing cylinder 21, and the rope clamping cylinder 15 all retract to their initial state. At this time, the steel strand carrying the first photovoltaic module 1 continues to move forward. The retraction cylinder 14 automatically retracts to the extended state, driving the mounting bracket 5 to retract to its initial position. During the retraction process, the buffer cylinder 17 works to provide a force opposite to that of the retraction cylinder 14, ensuring a smooth and stable retraction process. Finally, the pull-down cylinder 18 extends, causing the pull-down plate 19 to return to its original position.

[0040] Installation of the second to fifth photovoltaic modules 1: After the mounting bracket 5 returns to its initial position, the photovoltaic module 1 is placed, the clamping cylinder 20 extends and the pressing cylinder 21 retracts to fix the photovoltaic module 1; in order to precisely control the distance between the two photovoltaic modules 1, the initial placement of each photovoltaic module 1 will be slightly behind, the acceleration cylinder 25 extends and the buffer cylinder 17 interacts to make the next photovoltaic module 1 catch up with the previous photovoltaic module 1 and control the distance to 20cm.

[0041] For adjusting the distance between photovoltaic modules 1, the different connection positions of the retraction cylinder 14 and the mounting bracket 5 result in different working sequences of the cylinders, leading to two operating methods:

[0042] In the first configuration, the piston rod of the retracting cylinder 14 is connected to the movable beam 6. The interaction between the accelerating cylinder 25 and the buffer cylinder 17 applies a thrust to the movable beam 6 in the opposite direction to the movement of the steel strand. At this time, the mounting frame 5 has already retracted to the maximum stroke of the retracting cylinder 14 and cannot retract any further. Therefore, according to the interaction of forces, the accelerating cylinder 25 applies a thrust to the first crossbeam 7 in the direction of the steel strand's movement. Since the first crossbeam 7 is fixed to the mounting frame 5, it drives the mounting frame 5 to move forward. At this time, the first slider 11 and the first slide rail 10 slide relative to each other, and the second slider 12 and the second slide rail 13 slide relative to each other. The entire fixing mechanism moves forward, carrying the photovoltaic module 1 to catch up with the previous one. The distance is controlled by the control system's infrared sensing and other devices. When the distance between the two photovoltaic modules 1 is 20cm, the accelerating cylinder 25 stops working, and the rope clamping cylinder 15 extends the drive clamp 16 to clamp the steel strand. At this time, the mounting frame 5 moves synchronously with the steel strand. During the acceleration process, the mounting frame 5 drives the piston rod of the retracting cylinder 14 to compress.

[0043] In the second method, the piston rod of the retraction cylinder 14 is connected to the bottom or fixed position of the mounting frame 5. First, the rope clamping cylinder 15 is activated to extend the drive clamp 16 to clamp the steel strand. At this time, the movable beam 6 moves synchronously with the steel strand. Then, the acceleration cylinder 25 is activated to extend and interact with the buffer cylinder 17. Since the buffer cylinder 17 is fixed on the movable beam 6, it moves forward synchronously with the steel strand, thereby pushing the first crossbeam 7 of the fixed acceleration cylinder 25 to move forward, driving the entire mounting frame 5 together. At this time, the photovoltaic module 1, which is fixed to the mounting frame 5, moves forward to catch up with the previous one. The distance is controlled by the control system's infrared sensing and other devices. When the distance between the two photovoltaic modules 1 is 20cm, the acceleration cylinder 25 stops working. During the acceleration process, the mounting frame 5 drives the piston rod of the retraction cylinder 14 to compress.

[0044] After adjusting the distance between the two photovoltaic modules 1 using the two methods described above, the pull-down cylinder 18 retracts, moving downwards to lower the photovoltaic module 1 onto the steel strand. At this point, the latches pass through the steel strand, with the mounting holes of the first set of latches 2 aligned with the screwdriver bit on the first crossbeam 7, and the mounting holes of the second set of latches 3 aligned with the screwdriver bit on the second crossbeam 9. The second cylinder 23 pushes the screwdriver, securing the second set of latches 3, and then retracts. Simultaneously, the first set of latches 2 of the front photovoltaic module 1 moves to the screwdriver bit connected to the third cylinder 24 on the second crossbeam 9. The third cylinder 24 pushes the screwdriver, securing the first set of latches 2 of the front photovoltaic module 1, and then retracts. The axial distance between the second cylinder 23 and the third cylinder 24 is exactly equal to the distance between the first and second latches when the two photovoltaic modules 1 are 20cm apart. The distance between the guide strip 26 at the front end of the electric screwdriver bit and the locking buckle can be fixed. Therefore, when the acceleration cylinder 25 catches up to the position 20cm away, the first locking buckle of the previous photovoltaic module 1 falls into the electric screwdriver guide strip 26 connected to the third cylinder 24. This mechanical structure ensures that the distance between the photovoltaic modules 1 is constant. Of course, a sensor can also be set on the mounting frame 5 to determine the spacing. Then, the clamping cylinder 20, the pressing cylinder 21, and the rope clamping cylinder 15 all return to their initial state. At this time, the steel strand carries the photovoltaic module 1 to continue moving forward. The retraction cylinder 14 automatically retracts to the extended state, driving the mounting frame 5 to retract to the initial position again. During the retraction process, the buffer cylinder 17 works to provide a force opposite to the retraction cylinder 14 to ensure that the retraction process is smooth and stable. Finally, the pull-down cylinder 18 extends, so that the pull-down plate 19 returns to its original position.

[0045] Installation of the sixth photovoltaic module 1: The installation steps for this photovoltaic module 1 are the same as those for the previous photovoltaic module 1. However, after the photovoltaic module 1 falls onto the steel strand, the first cylinder 22 pushes the electric screwdriver to install and fix its first set of locking buckles 2. At this point, all photovoltaic modules 1 in one group are successfully installed, and the mounting frame 5 retracts to proceed with the installation of the next group.

[0046] According to the installation scheme of Embodiment 1, the number of photovoltaic modules 1 can be set as needed, and the interval between the two sets of photovoltaic modules 1 can be set.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 differs in that only the second cylinder 23 and an electric screwdriver are installed on the second crossbeam 9. The installation steps for each photovoltaic module 1 are the same, except that starting from the second module, the acceleration cylinder 25 needs to be activated to adjust the distance between the two photovoltaic modules 1. During the installation of each photovoltaic module 1, the electric screwdriver connected to the first cylinder 22 and the electric screwdriver connected to the second cylinder 23 are simultaneously advanced, respectively fixing the first set of latches 2 and the second set of latches 3. In Embodiment 2, the distance between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 1 can be controlled by a sensor installed on the mounting frame 5. The installation method of Embodiment 2 can be used to install photovoltaic modules 1 with the same spacing continuously, or the sensing distance of the sensor at different stages can be set in the system to install photovoltaic modules 1 with different spacings.

[0049] This invention has a wide installation range; photovoltaic modules 1 can be installed wherever the steel strand can reach. The installation process is continuous and automated, the photovoltaic modules 1 are precisely positioned, the distance is controllable, and the loss is low.
