[0042] The embodiment provides a solar laminating machine, and the solar laminating machine comprises a frame taking device. The frame taking device is used for separating a laminating frame and a photovoltaic module. ​

[0043] As shown in Figures 1-2 The frame taking device comprises a support base 1, an adsorption mechanism 2, a top frame mechanism 3 and a clamping mechanism (not shown). The adsorption mechanism 2 is arranged on the support base 1, and the adsorption mechanism 2 can adsorb the photovoltaic module located on the support base 1. The top frame mechanism 3 comprises at least two top frame assemblies 31. In the X direction, at least one top frame assembly 31 and at least another top frame assembly 31 are respectively arranged at the middle of the two ends of the support base 1, and the execution end of the top frame mechanism 3 can be lifted to jack up the laminated frame located on the support base 1. The clamping mechanism comprises at least two clamping assemblies. In the Y direction, at least one clamping assembly and at least another clamping assembly are respectively located at the two ends of the support base 1, and the clamping assembly can clamp the laminated frame located on the support base 1 and can drive the laminated frame to lift and lower.

[0044] When taking the frame, the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module which are not separated are placed on the support base 1. The bottom surface of the photovoltaic module is adsorbed by the adsorption mechanism 2, so that the photovoltaic module can be stably fixed during the separation of the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module. Then the laminated frame is clamped at the two ends in the Y direction by the clamping mechanism and is lifted by a distance, so that the two ends of the laminated frame and the two ends of the photovoltaic module are separated. Then the middle of the two ends of the laminated frame in the X direction is jacked up by the top frame assembly 31, so that the bending deformation of the laminated frame during the separation of the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module is reduced, thereby reducing the damage of the laminated frame. Finally, the clamping mechanism continues to drive the laminated frame to move upwards, so that the separation of the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module can be realized.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-2 The frame taking device further comprises a limiting mechanism 5 arranged on the support base 1, and the limiting mechanism 5 is used for limiting the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module which are not separated and arranged on the support base 1. It can be understood that the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module can be conveniently limited by the limiting mechanism 5, so that the clamping assembly can accurately clamp the laminated frame and the jacking mechanism can accurately jack up the laminated frame when the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module are separated.

[0046] Further, the limiting mechanism 5 comprises an X limiting assembly 51 and a Y limiting assembly 52. The X limiting assembly 51 is arranged on the support base 1, and the X limiting assembly 51 can limit the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module in the X direction. The Y limiting assembly 52 is arranged on the support base 1, and the Y limiting assembly 52 can limit the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module in the Y direction.

[0047] Further, as shown in Figures 2-4As shown, the X-limiting assembly 51 includes a first limiting structure 511 and a second limiting structure 512. In the X direction, the first limiting structure 511 and the second limiting structure 512 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support base 1. The first limiting structure 511 includes a first linear drive member 5111, a second linear drive member 5112, and a first stop wheel 5113. Optionally, the first linear drive member 5111 and the second linear drive member 5112 are cylinders. The first linear drive member 5111 is disposed on the support base 1, the second linear drive member 5112 is disposed at the actuating end of the first linear drive member 5111, and the first stop wheel 5113 is disposed at the actuating end of the second linear drive member 5112. The first linear drive member 5111 can drive the second linear drive member 5112 to move in the X direction, and the second linear drive member 5112 can drive the first stop wheel 5113 to rise and fall. The second limiting mechanism 5 includes a third linear drive member 5121 and a second stop wheel 5122. Optionally, the third linear drive 5121 is a cylinder. The third linear drive 5121 is mounted on the support base 1, and the second stop wheel 5122 is mounted on the actuating end of the third linear drive 5121. The third linear drive 5121 can drive the second stop wheel 5122 to move up and down. The Y-limiting assembly 52 includes a third limiting structure 521 and a fourth limiting structure 522. The third limiting structure 521 includes a fourth linear drive 5211 and a third stop wheel 5212. The fourth linear drive 5211 is mounted on the support base 1, and the third stop wheel 5212 is mounted on the actuating end of the fourth linear drive 5211. The fourth linear drive 5211 can drive the third stop wheel 5212 to move along the Y direction. Optionally, the fourth linear drive 5211 is a cylinder. The structure of the fourth limiting structure 522 is the same as that of the third limiting structure 521, and will not be described again here. In detail, before the laminated frame and photovoltaic module move to the support base 1, the third linear drive 5121 drives the second stop wheel 5122 to rise, the second linear drive 5112 drives the first stop wheel 5113 to rise, and the first linear drive 5111 drives the first stop wheel 5113 to move, so that one side of the laminated frame abuts against the second stop wheel 5122, achieving positioning in the X direction. At the same time, the third limiting structure 521 and the fourth limiting structure 522 simultaneously drive the laminated frame and photovoltaic module to move along the Y direction, achieving Y-direction limiting. After positioning is completed, the X limiting component 51 and the Y limiting component 52 reset.

[0048] When the laminated frame and the photovoltaic module separate, the photovoltaic module experiences significant circumferential stress. To induce circumferential deformation of the photovoltaic module, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, the adsorption mechanism 2 includes several suction cup assemblies 21, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the support base 1.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4As shown, the suction cup assembly 21 includes a suction cup 211 and a first driving member 212. The first driving member 212 is disposed on the support base 1, and the suction cup 211 is connected to the actuating end of the first driving member 212. The first driving member 212 can drive the suction cup 211 to rise and fall. It can be understood that after the laminated frame and photovoltaic module are placed on the support base 1, the first driving member 212 drives the suction cup 211 to rise, and the suction cup 211 adsorbs the bottom surface of the photovoltaic module. After the laminated frame and photovoltaic module separate, the suction cup 211 releases the photovoltaic module, and the first driving member 212 returns to its original position. Optionally, the first driving member 212 is a cylinder.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top frame assembly 31 includes a top block 311 and a second driving member 312. The second driving member 312 is disposed on the support base 1, and the top block 311 is disposed at the execution end of the second driving member 312. The second driving member 312 can drive the top block 311 to rise and fall. It is understood that, because the laminated frame is bonded to the side of the photovoltaic module, after the clamping assembly clamps the laminated frame at both ends in the X direction, the laminated frame will experience greater force at the midpoints of both ends in the Y direction. Pushing the top block 311 through the second driving member 312 lifts the laminated frame at the midpoints of both ends in the Y direction, thereby reducing the bending and damage of the laminated frame. Optionally, the second driving member 312 is a cylinder.

[0051] In detail, the clamping assembly includes a gripper cylinder and a clamping drive structure. The clamping drive structure is located on one side of the support base 1, and the gripper cylinder is connected to the execution end of the clamping drive structure. The clamping drive structure can drive the gripper cylinder to move up and down and along the Y direction. The clamping drive structure only needs to be able to drive the gripper cylinder to clamp the laminating frame and drive the laminating frame to rise; its specific structure is not limited here.

[0052] In particular, to facilitate continuous automation of the separation of laminated frames and photovoltaic modules, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 includes a base 11 and a conveying assembly 12. The conveying assembly 12 is disposed on top of the base 11 and can relay the externally conveyed laminated frames and photovoltaic modules to a preset position. Specifically, the conveying assembly 12 includes several conveying structures and a conveying drive structure disposed on top of the base 11. Each conveying structure includes a bracket, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt. The bracket is connected to the base 11; the driving wheel and driven wheel are spaced apart on the bracket along the X direction, and the conveyor belt is tensioned and wound around the driving wheel and driven wheel. The conveying drive structure includes a drive shaft and a conveying drive component. The drive shaft is connected to the driving wheel of each conveying structure, and the conveying drive component can drive the drive shaft to rotate. Optionally, the conveying drive component is a motor.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the frame-removing device in this embodiment also includes a lifting mechanism 4. The support base 1 is connected to the execution end of the lifting mechanism 4, and the lifting mechanism 4 can drive the support base 1 to rise and fall. Specifically, by driving the support base 1 to rise and fall through the lifting mechanism 4, it is possible to facilitate the docking of the support base 1 with the externally transported laminated frames and photovoltaic modules, as well as the docking of the support base 1 with the clamping mechanism, and also facilitate the output of the photovoltaic modules. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting frame 41 and a lifting drive assembly. The support base 1 is vertically slidably connected to the lifting frame 41, and the lifting drive assembly can drive the support base 1 to rise and fall along the lifting frame 41. The specific structure of the lifting drive assembly is a conventional technical means, and its specific form is not limited here.

[0054] The working process of the frame-retrieving device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0055] The lifting mechanism 4 drives the base 11 to rise and fall to a preset position. The externally transported laminate frame and photovoltaic module are then conveyed by the conveying component 12. The conveying component 12 transports the laminate frame and photovoltaic module to the preset position. The X-limiting component 51 and Y-limiting component 52 limit the laminate frame and photovoltaic module. Then, the adsorption mechanism 2 adsorbs the photovoltaic module. The lifting mechanism 4 drives the support base 1 to move to the position where it docks with the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism clamps the laminate frame and moves it up a certain distance. Then, the lifting mechanism lifts the laminate frame, separating the laminate frame and photovoltaic module. The clamping mechanism transports the laminate frame to another process, and the lifting mechanism 4 transports the photovoltaic module to another process, thereby realizing the separation of the laminate frame and photovoltaic module.

[0056] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of the invention without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
