Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the photovoltaic field, and in particular to the automatic segmentation of the front panel of a colored photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) module typically consists of a backsheet, a photovoltaic (PV) panel, and a front panel arranged in sequence. The backsheet and PV panel, as well as the PV panel and front panel, are bonded together using adhesive film. All three components are housed within a mounting frame. Colored PV modules generally refer to those with colored pigments on the front panel. Sunlight enters the PV module from the front panel and illuminates the PV panel; therefore, the front panel needs to be made of a transparent material. Glass is one of the most common materials used.

[0003] In the manufacturing of colored photovoltaic modules, when glass is used as the front panel material, colored pigments are often printed onto the glass front panel for later use. The printed front panel is then assembled with the photovoltaic panel, backsheet, mounting frame, etc., to form the photovoltaic module. The printed front panels cannot be assembled immediately and are often stacked together for a period of time. If the front panels are stacked too tightly, the colored pigments on adjacent panels can easily stick together, causing pigment damage and contamination. Therefore, insulating material is needed between the printed front panels. Currently, stacking the printed front panels and placing the insulating material is mainly done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

In case of any conflict, this specification shall prevail.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in this application can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0044] Currently, stacking the printed front panels and placing the isolation materials is mainly done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0045] The technical solution provided in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0046] This application provides an automatic isolation device for the front panel 01 of a color photovoltaic module. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The automatic isolation device for the front panel 01 of the colored photovoltaic module includes:

[0047] The isolation paper roll 1 is set on the wheel and axle mechanism;

[0048] Traction mechanism 2 is used to pull the isolation paper 11 drawn out from the isolation paper roll 1;

[0049] The cutting mechanism 3 is located below the traction mechanism 2;

[0050] Support plate 4 is disposed on one side below the cutting mechanism 3;

[0051] Robotic arm 5 is located on the other side below the cutting mechanism 3. The robotic arm 5 is used to grab the front plate 01 and press the front plate 01 against the release paper 11 and then stack it on the support plate 4.

[0052] The release liner 1 is formed by winding the release liner 1. The release liner 11 is used to isolate the front panel 01 of the photovoltaic module, which contains colored pigments. The release liner 11 can be made of conventional paper, such as Xuan paper.

[0053] The traction mechanism 2 pulls the isolation paper 11 drawn out from the isolation paper roll 1, and the isolation paper roll 1 rotates on the wheel and axle mechanism accordingly.

[0054] The cutting mechanism 3 is located below the traction mechanism 2. The release paper 11 pulled out by the traction mechanism 2 falls under the action of gravity and passes through the cutting mechanism 3.

[0055] The robotic arm 5 and the support plate 4 are respectively positioned on both sides below the cutting mechanism 3, with the release paper 11 below the cutting mechanism 3 located between them. The robotic arm 5 grasps the front plate 01, presses the release paper 11 onto the support plate 4, and after pressing the release paper 11 tightly, the cutting mechanism 3 cuts the release paper 11.

[0056] The traction mechanism 2 pulls a fixed distance each time, and this distance must be greater than the distance from the cutting mechanism 3 to the bottom of the front plate 01. After the traction is completed, the robotic arm 5 starts its movement; after the robotic arm 5 finishes its movement, the cutting mechanism 3 starts its movement.

[0057] This application establishes an isolation paper roll 1 and a traction mechanism 2, with the traction mechanism 2 pulling the isolation paper 11. A cutting mechanism 3 is positioned below the traction mechanism 2, and a robotic arm 5 and a support plate 4 are respectively positioned on either side below the cutting mechanism 3. After the isolation paper 11 falls between the robotic arm 5 and the support plate 4 under the action of the traction mechanism 2, the robotic arm 5 can press the isolation paper 11 onto the front panel 01 of the photovoltaic module. The cutting mechanism 3 then cuts the isolation paper 11, completing the automatic isolation of the front panel 01 of the photovoltaic module. Therefore, this application can achieve automatic isolation of the front panel 01 of the photovoltaic module.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic isolation device for the front panel 01 of the color photovoltaic module further includes:

[0059] The first support 6, the wheel and axle mechanism is mounted on the first support 6, and the lower end of the first support 6 is provided with a universal wheel for displacing the first support 6 on the ground.

[0060] The first support 6 can move on the ground via casters. When the isolation paper roll 1 needs to be loaded, the first support 6 can be moved to the stacking place of the isolation paper roll 1, and after loading the isolation paper roll 1, it can be moved to the traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 to facilitate the loading operation.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic isolation device for the front panel 01 of the color photovoltaic module further includes:

[0062] The first track 61 is disposed on the first bracket 6;

[0063] Connector 7, one end of which is connected to the traction mechanism 2;

[0064] A first motor 62 is connected to the other end of the connector 7. The first motor 62 is connected to the first track 61 through a roller structure, so that when the first motor 62 operates, it drives the connector 7 to move along the direction of the first track 61.

[0065] As the photovoltaic module front panel 01 is continuously stacked on the support plate 4, its thickness increases. The traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 need to adapt by moving away from the support plate 4 to provide more space for the photovoltaic module front panel 01. When the first motor 62 operates, it can drive the connector 7 to move along the direction of the first track 61. The connector 7 can then drive the traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 to move gradually away from the support plate 4.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic isolation device for the front panel 01 of the color photovoltaic module further includes:

[0067] The second support 8, the traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 are both mounted on the second support 8, and the lower end of the second support 8 is provided with rollers that support the ground.

[0068] The second support 8 can provide support for the traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3. When the first support 6 moves on the ground via the casters, the second support 8 can move in coordination via the rollers supported on the ground; when the first motor 62 drives the connecting piece 7, the traction mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3 to move, the second support 8 can move in coordination via the rollers supported on the ground.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the cutting mechanism 3 includes:

[0070] The second track 31 is connected to the second bracket 8;

[0071] The second motor 32 is connected to the second track 31 via a roller structure;

[0072] The paper cutter is connected to the second motor 32. When the second motor 32 is operating, it drives the paper cutter to move along the direction of the second track 31.

[0073] The second motor 32 can drive the paper cutter to move along the direction of the second track 31, thereby cutting the release paper 11.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the traction mechanism 2 includes a first roller 21 and a second roller 22, the surfaces of the first roller 21 and the second roller 22 are in contact with each other, the isolation paper 11 is disposed in the gap between the first roller 21 and the second roller 22, and the first roller 21 is driven to rotate by a motor and pulls the isolation paper 11.

[0075] There is significant pressure between the first roller 21 and the second roller 22. The release paper 11 is also subjected to the same pressure in the gap between the first roller 21 and the second roller 22. Therefore, the friction between the release paper 11 and the first roller 21 and the second roller 22 is very large. The rotation of the first roller 21 can pull the release paper 11 through friction, and the second roller 22 will rotate accordingly.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the first support 6 is provided with a thickness sensor 9 for sensing the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1.

[0077] The thickness sensor 9 can sense the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1, thereby monitoring the remaining amount of the insulating paper roll 1 and providing a reference for the timing of feeding the insulating paper roll 1.

[0078] The thickness sensor 9 can employ conventional thickness sensing methods in the art. For example, the thickness sensor 9 can sense the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1 using infrared light. The thickness sensor 9 includes an infrared generator and an infrared receiver arranged opposite each other. The infrared generator is located on one side of the insulating paper roll 1, and the infrared receiver is located on the other side of the insulating paper roll 1. Both the infrared generator and the infrared receiver are located at a predetermined thickness. When the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1 is greater than the predetermined thickness, the infrared light emitted by the infrared generator is blocked by the insulating paper roll 1 and cannot be received by the infrared receiver. When the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1 is less than the predetermined thickness, the insulating paper roll 1 no longer blocks the infrared light emitted by the infrared generator, and the infrared receiver receives the infrared light, thereby detecting that the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1 is less than the predetermined thickness.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic isolation device of the front panel 01 of the color photovoltaic module further includes an alarm device that is communicatively connected to the thickness sensor 9.

[0080] When the thickness sensor 9 detects that the thickness of the insulating paper roll 1 is too low, it will send a signal to the alarm device. Upon receiving the signal, the alarm device will sound an alarm to remind staff to replace the insulating paper roll 1. The alarm device can use conventional alarm methods, such as alarm bells or lights.
