[0045] The embodiment of the present application discloses a photovoltaic module installation method, which extracts photovoltaic modules by a mechanical arm of a module installation vehicle and moves to a position of a mounting point of a support, without manually lifting the photovoltaic modules in the air, so that the lifting difficulty is reduced, the large-power photovoltaic modules with large size and weight are more suitable for assembly, excessive manpower is avoided, and the installation efficiency is improved. The embodiment of the present application also discloses a photovoltaic module installation system, which can perform the above photovoltaic module installation method, is suitable for assembly of large-power photovoltaic modules with large size and weight, avoids excessive consumption of manpower, and is beneficial to improve the installation efficiency.

[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The embodiment of the present application provides a photovoltaic module installation method, which is used for a photovoltaic power station, a support 101 is arranged on a site of the power station to install photovoltaic modules, and the supports 101 are generally arranged in multiple rows.

[0048] The above photovoltaic module installation method comprises the following steps: dividing the supports 101 on the site into installation areas according to preset conditions; making a module installation vehicle 103 move to a preset position corresponding to the installation area; extracting photovoltaic modules in a photovoltaic module bag 102 by a mechanical arm of the module installation vehicle 103 and moving to a mounting point of the installation area, so that a fastening unit fixes the photovoltaic modules to the mounting point.

[0049] The above photovoltaic module installation method extracts photovoltaic modules by a mechanical arm of a module installation vehicle 103 and moves to a position of a mounting point of a support 101 for positioning, without manually lifting the photovoltaic modules, so that the lifting difficulty is reduced, the large-power photovoltaic modules with large size and weight are more suitable for assembly, excessive manpower is avoided, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0050] Meanwhile, the photovoltaic module installation method provided by the embodiment of the present application first divides the supports 101 on the site into installation areas according to preset conditions, so that the module installation vehicle 103 can install the largest installation area after each movement in the subsequent steps, the movement times of the module installation vehicle 103 are reduced, the leveling time of the supporting legs of the module installation vehicle 103 is reduced, the installation efficiency is further improved, and the construction period of the photovoltaic power station is shortened.

[0051] In addition, after the photovoltaic module is picked up by the aforementioned module installation vehicle 103, it is directly moved to the installation point for positioning, avoiding manual lifting and raising of the photovoltaic module, and avoiding the transfer of the photovoltaic module from the lifting worker to the worker standing on the lifting platform 104. This prevents the photovoltaic module from developing microcracks due to uneven force during manual lifting, raising and transfer, and helps to improve the construction quality.

[0052] The aforementioned "preset conditions" include the relationship between the number of installation points A1 within the reach of the robotic arm in bracket 101 and the number of photovoltaic modules A2 in photovoltaic module package 102. Correspondingly, the aforementioned "dividing the on-site brackets into installation areas according to the preset conditions" includes:

[0053] If the number of installation points A1 in bracket 101 within the reach of the robotic arm is greater than the number of photovoltaic modules A2 in photovoltaic module package 102, then the area occupied by A2 installation points in bracket 101 is designated as the installation area.

[0054] If the number A1 of installation points within the reach of the robotic arm in bracket 101 is less than the number A2 of photovoltaic modules in photovoltaic module pack 102, then the area occupied by A1 installation points in bracket 101 is designated as the installation area. "The number A2 of photovoltaic modules in photovoltaic module pack 102" refers to the sum of the number of photovoltaic modules in all photovoltaic module packs 102 expected to be distributed to the designated installation area. The number of photovoltaic module packs 102 to be distributed can be set to 1 pack, 2 packs, 3 packs, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any limitation.

[0055] "The reach of the robotic arm" refers to the area that the robotic arm can freely reach when the module installation vehicle 103 is placed at the photovoltaic power station site. Specifically, the reach of the robotic arm can be up to twice the total length of the robotic arm.

[0056] The number of mounting points A1 in the bracket 101 within the reach of the robotic arm refers to the number of mounting points of a single row of brackets 101 within the reach of the robotic arm, or the total number of mounting points of two adjacent rows of brackets 101 within the reach of the robotic arm.

[0057] Specifically, if the distance between two adjacent rows of supports 101 at the power plant site is far or the arm length of the robotic arm of the component installation vehicle 103 is short, the component installation vehicle 103 can only be positioned close to one of the rows of supports 101 between two adjacent rows of supports 101. After the arrangement, the robotic arm can only cover the row of supports 101 that the component installation vehicle 103 is close to. Accordingly, "the number of installation points A1 in the support 101 within the arm span of the robotic arm" refers to the number of installation points of a single row of supports 101 within the arm span of the robotic arm.

[0058] If the distance between the two adjacent rows of supports 101 is close or the mechanical arm of the component mounting vehicle 103 is long, the mechanical arm can cover the two adjacent rows of supports 101 when the component mounting vehicle 103 is arranged in the middle of the two adjacent rows of supports 101. Accordingly, the "number of mounting points A1 in the supports 101 within the arm span of the mechanical arm" refers to the number of all mounting points in the two adjacent rows of supports 101 within the arm span of the mechanical arm. In this case, the component mounting vehicle 103 can install photovoltaic components on the supports 101 on both sides respectively each time the component mounting vehicle 103 moves, which can reduce the number of movements of the component mounting vehicle 103, save time, and improve the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic components.

[0059] In the above photovoltaic component installation method, the number of photovoltaic components in different photovoltaic component packages 102 can be set to be the same, and the installation area can be divided according to the number and the number of distributed photovoltaic component packages. Of course, the number of photovoltaic components in different photovoltaic component packages 102 can also be set to be different, and each installation area is divided according to the number of photovoltaic components in the photovoltaic component package 102 corresponding to the installation area. The present embodiment is not limited.

[0060] Preferably, in the above photovoltaic component installation method, the preset position corresponding to the installation area is aligned with the center axis of the installation area. The center axis of the installation area is perpendicular to the extension direction of the row of supports in which the installation area is located. Of course, the preset position corresponding to the installation area can also be set to deviate from the center axis of the installation area, as long as the mechanical arm can cover the corresponding installation area when the component mounting vehicle 103 moves to the preset position. The present embodiment is not limited.

[0061] In the above photovoltaic component installation method, the supports 101 are divided into a plurality of installation areas; after all the mounting points in each installation area are installed, the component mounting vehicle 103 moves to the preset position corresponding to the next installation area and installs photovoltaic components on all the mounting points in the installation area; and the above process is repeated until all the installation areas are installed.

[0062] The component mounting vehicle 103 can specifically adopt a spider crane, and accordingly, each leg of the component mounting vehicle 103 extends and levels when the component mounting vehicle 103 moves to the preset position. The end of the mechanical arm is provided with a suction cup for sucking photovoltaic components. The suction cup is preferably connected to the mechanical arm in a flexible manner, which facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the suction cup to suck photovoltaic components and facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the photovoltaic components to be positioned at the mounting points. The mechanical arm can automatically or remotely move to the mounting points of the supports 102, and the present embodiment is not limited.

[0063] Specifically, in addition to the legs, the mechanical arm and the suction cup installed on the vehicle body, the spider crane further includes a tracked chassis, a power system, a hydraulic system and an electric control system installed on the vehicle body. The spider crane automatically walks through the tracked chassis driven by the power system. The legs can automatically level (specifically, the electric control system monitors the horizontal angle of the vehicle body through an angle sensor, calculates the extension length of each leg, and adjusts the extension length of the legs through the hydraulic system to realize automatic leveling), the mechanical arm can automatically identify the photovoltaic module (specifically, the electric control system identifies the photovoltaic module through a laser radar or a vision system), automatically grasp the photovoltaic module (specifically, the electric control system controls the suction cup to suck the photovoltaic module), automatically move the photovoltaic module to the installation point, and automatically position the photovoltaic module at the installation point (specifically, the electric control system measures the model of the support through a laser radar and calculates the position point of the module, identifies the position point through a vision system, and adjusts the position of the photovoltaic module through the mechanical arm to realize positioning).

[0064] In the photovoltaic module installation method, the fastening unit includes a pressing block and a fixing piece. The "fastening unit fastens the photovoltaic module to the installation point" can be completed by a worker standing on the lifting work platform 104 or a robot arranged on the work platform 104, and the embodiment is not limited.

[0065] The lifting work platform 104 includes a tracked chassis, a liftable platform, a power system, a hydraulic system and a control system. The lifting work platform 104 has the functions of autonomously moving to the installation point of the support 101 and automatically adjusting the height. The power system and the hydraulic system can respectively drive the chassis to move and drive the liftable platform to lift, and the control system is used to control the liftable platform, the power system and the hydraulic system.

[0066] In the photovoltaic module installation method, before the module installation vehicle 103 walks to the preset position corresponding to the installation area, the photovoltaic module package 102 needs to be distributed to the position corresponding to the installation area, so as to facilitate the subsequent step of extracting the photovoltaic module of the photovoltaic module package 102 by the mechanical arm.

[0067] The photovoltaic module installation method provided by the embodiment will be specifically introduced below with reference to the drawings:

[0068] Embodiment 1

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2, the photovoltaic components installed on each row of support 101 are arranged in a row, and the number of rows of photovoltaic components installed on different rows of support 101 is set to be different, and accordingly, the size of the installation area divided by different rows of support 101 is different. Each package of photovoltaic components package 102 has 30 photovoltaic components, when the component installation vehicle 103 moves to the position shown in the figure, the supporting legs are extended, leveled and fixed, then the mechanical arm of the component installation vehicle 103 is extended to suck the photovoltaic components of the photovoltaic component package 102 to each installation point in the installation area, and each time the photovoltaic components are sucked to the installation point, the photovoltaic components are fixed at the installation point by using the pressing block and the fixing member. After the installation of the current installation area is completed, the component installation vehicle 103 retracts the mechanical arm and the supporting legs, and then moves to the preset position corresponding to the next installation area to install the next installation area.

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] When each row of support 101 is used to install a row of photovoltaic components, the divided installation area is as shown in Figure 3 . Each package of photovoltaic components package 102 has 30 photovoltaic components, at this time, one package of photovoltaic components corresponds to 30 columns of component installation points, the arm span range of the mechanical arm of the component handling vehicle is shorter than the installation area for installing a single row of 30 photovoltaic components, therefore, the length of the support 101 for installing 15 photovoltaic components is divided into an installation area, and each installation area corresponds to 1 (row) × 15 (column) photovoltaic components. The arm span of the mechanical arm of the component installation vehicle 103 can correspond to Figure 3 two upper and lower installation areas in the installation area 1, a total of 30 installation points for installing photovoltaic components, therefore, the upper and lower installation areas can share one package of photovoltaic components. When the component installation vehicle 103 moves to the position shown in the figure, the supporting legs are extended and fixed, then the mechanical arm is extended and the photovoltaic components in the photovoltaic component package ① are sequentially sucked to the 1st to 15th installation points in the installation area 1a. When the installation of the components in the area is completed, the mechanical arm of the component installation vehicle 103 repeats the above-mentioned action and sequentially carries the remaining 15 photovoltaic components in the photovoltaic component package ① to the 16th to 30th installation points in the installation area 1b, which just completes the installation of the entire package of photovoltaic components. Then, the component installation vehicle 103 retracts the mechanical arm and the supporting legs, and then moves to the next preset position, i.e. the preset position corresponding to the installation area 2 in the figure, after the supporting legs are extended and fixed, the mechanical arm repeats the above-mentioned action to complete the installation of 15 photovoltaic components in the area 2a and the area 2b. In this way, the installation of photovoltaic components in all installation areas is completed. In this installation process, the component installation vehicle 103 can complete the installation of the installation area corresponding to one package of photovoltaic components 102 each time it moves, and the installation area is composed of part of the area of two adjacent rows of support 101.

[0072] Embodiment 3

[0073] When each row of support 101 is used to install two rows of photovoltaic components, the divided installation area is as shown in Figure 4As shown. Each photovoltaic module package 102 contains 30 photovoltaic modules, so each installation area corresponds to 2 (rows) × 15 (columns) of photovoltaic modules. The length of the robotic arm of the module installation cart 103 corresponds to the installation area of ​​two adjacent rows of brackets 101. During installation, when the module installation cart 103 moves to the preset position shown in the figure, each preset position corresponds to two installation areas (installation area 3a and installation area 3b in the figure). Each preset position corresponds to distributing two photovoltaic module packages 102. After the module installation cart extends its outriggers and is fixed in place, it extends its robotic arm to sequentially pick up the photovoltaic modules from the photovoltaic module packages 102 and transfer them to installation points 1 to 30 in installation area 3a. After the photovoltaic modules in installation area 3a are installed, the module installation cart 103, following the same action, sequentially transports the photovoltaic modules from the other photovoltaic module package 102 to the corresponding installation point in installation area 3b and fixes them with pressure blocks. This cycle is repeated to complete the installation of photovoltaic modules in all installation areas. During this installation process, each time the module installation cart moves, it can complete the installation of modules in the installation areas of two adjacent rows of brackets 101 corresponding to two photovoltaic module packages 102.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] When three rows of photovoltaic modules are installed on each row of bracket 101, the divided installation areas are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, each photovoltaic module package 102 contains 30 photovoltaic modules. Each installation area corresponds to 3 rows × 10 columns of photovoltaic modules. The arm length of the module installation cart 103 is just long enough to cover the installation points corresponding to the 30 photovoltaic modules. When the module installation cart 103 moves to the position shown, its outriggers extend and are secured, then its robotic arm extends to sequentially pick up the photovoltaic modules from the photovoltaic module package 102 and place them at installation points 1 to 30 in installation area 5. After the photovoltaic modules in that installation area are installed, the module installation cart 103 retracts its outriggers and robotic arm, then moves to the next preset position corresponding to installation area 6. After extending and securing its outriggers, the robotic arm repeats the above actions to complete the installation of the photovoltaic modules in installation area 6. During this installation process, each movement of the module installation cart 103 completes the installation of photovoltaic modules in one installation area corresponding to one photovoltaic module package 102.

[0076] This invention also provides a photovoltaic module installation system, including a photovoltaic module, a bracket 101, and a module installation vehicle 103; the bracket 101 is used to install the photovoltaic module; the controller of the module installation vehicle 103 is used to control the execution of the photovoltaic module installation method provided in the above embodiments.

[0077] The photovoltaic module installation system can arrange the photovoltaic modules in the module arrangement area in the field in a package, the module arrangement area corresponds to the installation area of the support 101 one by one, and the module arrangement area is close to the corresponding installation area. When the module installation vehicle 103 is located at the preset position corresponding to the installation area, the mechanical arm can reach the photovoltaic module package 102 in the module arrangement area corresponding to the installation area.

[0078] The support 101 is arranged in multiple rows in the field, and the installation areas are arranged one by one along the extension direction of each row of supports, and the module arrangement areas are also arranged one by one along the extension direction of each row of supports.

[0079] Further, the installation area and the corresponding module arrangement area are arranged to have the same size along the preset direction, and the preset direction is the extension direction of the row of supports where the installation area is located.
