[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear and obvious, the application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0056] The solar substrate automatic feeding and discharging processing equipment further comprises a dust collector 13 and a cold water machine 14. The dust collector 13 is mainly used for dust adsorption in the laser processing process. The cold water machine 14 realizes the cooling effect in the working process of the laser processing mechanism.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each flower basket feeding module 21 comprises a plurality of groups of flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 arranged in parallel. Each flower basket discharging module 22 comprises a plurality of groups of flower basket discharging conveying lines 221 arranged in parallel. The flower basket feeding conveying line 211 comprises a general-speed feeding section 212 and an accelerated feeding section 213. The general-speed feeding section 212 is connected to the accelerated feeding section 213. The feeding transverse carrying module 231 is connected to the accelerated feeding sections 213 of the plurality of groups of flower basket feeding conveying lines 211. The discharging transverse carrying module 232 is connected to the plurality of groups of flower basket discharging conveying lines 221. The general-speed feeding section 212 is provided with a feeding blocking cylinder 214 at the end of the feeding direction.

[0058] The normal speed feeding section 212 comprises a normal speed motor 2121, a first feeding conveying belt 2122, and a first feeding baffle 2123. The driving wheel of the normal speed motor 2121 is connected with the first feeding conveying belt 2122, and the first feeding baffle 2123 is arranged on both sides of the first feeding conveying belt 2122. The normal speed motor 2121 drives the first feeding conveying belt 2122 at a speed slower than the acceleration feeding section 213. The first feeding conveying belt 2122 can simultaneously place multiple flower baskets 15, and the first feeding baffle 2123 limits the positions of the multiple flower baskets 15 to align them in the middle of the first feeding conveying belt 2122.

[0059] The acceleration feeding section 213 comprises an acceleration motor 2131, a second feeding conveying belt 2132, and a second feeding baffle 2133. The driving wheel of the acceleration motor 2131 is connected with the second feeding conveying belt 2132, and the second feeding baffle 2133 is arranged on both sides of the second feeding conveying belt 2132. The acceleration motor 2131 drives the first feeding conveying belt 2122 at a speed faster than the normal speed feeding section 212. The second feeding conveying belt 2132 passes one flower basket 15 at a time. The second feeding baffle 2133 limits the position of the flower basket 15 to align it in the middle of the second feeding conveying belt 2132 and abuts against the carrying conveying belt 35.

[0060] The discharging conveying line 221 comprises a discharging motor 2211, a discharging conveying belt 2212, and a discharging baffle 2213. The driving wheel of the discharging motor 2211 is connected with the discharging conveying belt 2212, and the discharging baffle 2213 is arranged on both sides of the discharging conveying belt 2212. The entire discharging conveying line 221 is used to convey the flower baskets 15 by the discharging conveying belt 2212 without dividing the normal speed section and the acceleration section. The discharging baffle 2213 limits the positions of the flower baskets 15 on the discharging conveying belt 2212 to align multiple flower baskets 15 in the middle.

[0061] The flower basket feeding and discharging machine 11 adopts multiple conveying lines to complete the feeding and discharging of the flower baskets, which meets the demand of feeding and discharging a larger number of flower baskets 15. The transverse carrying module 23 can freely switch between the multiple conveying lines. When the flower baskets 15 on one conveying line complete the feeding or discharging, the transverse carrying module 23 immediately switches to operate another conveying line, so that the feeding and discharging process is continuously performed, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 1, the flower basket feeding and discharging machine 11 comprises a feeding and discharging conveying line 21, a transverse carrying module 23, and a flower basket unloading machine 11. Figure 4As shown, the feeding transverse conveying module 231 and the discharging transverse conveying module 232 are two transverse conveying modules 23 arranged in the feeding direction and the discharging direction of the flower basket, which comprises a transverse linear module 233, a transverse conveying slider 234, a transverse conveying belt 235 and a transverse blocking cylinder 236. The transverse linear module 233 is arranged across a plurality of groups of the flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 or the flower basket discharging conveying lines 221. The transverse conveying slider 234 is slidably connected to the transverse linear module 233. The transverse conveying belt 235 is connected to the transverse conveying slider 234. When the transverse linear module 233 drives the transverse conveying slider 234 to one group of the flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 or the flower basket discharging conveying lines 221, the transverse conveying belt 235 is in butt joint with the flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 or the flower basket discharging conveying lines 221. The transverse blocking cylinder 236 is connected to the transverse conveying slider 234 and blocks the flower basket on the transverse conveying belt 235.

[0063] The transverse conveying module 23 further comprises a transverse conveying baffle 237 connected to the transverse conveying slider 234 and arranged on both sides of the transverse conveying belt 235. The two end edges of the transverse conveying baffle 237 are further provided with chamfers, which can guide the flower basket 15 to enter the transverse conveying belt 235. When the transverse conveying slider 234 moves laterally, the transverse conveying baffle 237 limits the bottom of the flower basket 15 to avoid it from sliding off the transverse conveying belt 235.

[0064] The transverse linear module 233 drives the transverse conveying slider 234 to move laterally between the plurality of groups of the flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 or the flower basket discharging conveying lines 221, and transfers the flower basket 15 through the butt joint of the transverse conveying belt 235. When one of the flower basket feeding conveying lines 211 or the flower basket discharging conveying lines 221 completes feeding or discharging, it can be switched to a new flower basket feeding conveying line 211 or a new flower basket discharging conveying line 221 to realize uninterrupted and efficient feeding or discharging operation. The transverse blocking cylinder 236 mainly blocks the flower basket 15 on the transverse conveying belt 235 to prevent the flower basket 15 from flowing out of position.

[0065] The flower basket feeding and discharging machine 11 adopts a two-layer mechanism. The upper layer is a flower basket feeding module 21 and a feeding horizontal conveying module 231 cooperating to transport the flower basket 15 filled with raw materials to the flower basket lifting feeding mechanism 31. The lower layer is a flower basket discharging module 22 and a discharging horizontal conveying module 232 cooperating. After the flower basket 15 is filled with clinkers, the flower basket lifting discharging mechanism 32 sends the flower basket 15 to the lower layer and the discharging horizontal conveying module 232. The upper layer receives 10 raw material flower baskets 15 at a time, and the lower layer can take away 10 clinker flower baskets 15 at a time. The flower basket feeding conveying line 211 of the upper layer is divided into a normal-speed feeding section 212 and an accelerated feeding section 213. The normal-speed feeding section 212 receives 10 flower baskets 15 on the AGV, and the accelerated feeding section 213 realizes acceleration to pull away from the flower basket 15 behind to convey the flower basket into the laser processing main machine 12 one by one. After acceleration, the feeding blocking cylinder 214 is extended to prevent the flower basket 15 behind from flowing together. The flower basket discharging conveying line 221 of the lower layer has no accelerated section conveying line and can receive the clinker flower basket 15 one by one until 5 flower baskets 15 on the left and right at the same time, and then notify the AGV to automatically receive 10 clinker flower baskets 15. The horizontal conveying module 233 mainly realizes the switching of the left and right conveying lines, and takes 5 flower baskets 15 in turn, and then switches to the other conveying line to receive the flower basket 15.

[0066] As shown in Figure 8 The flower basket lifting feeding mechanism 31 and the flower basket lifting discharging mechanism 32 each include a flower basket Z-axis lifting module 33, a flower basket conveying line 34, a flower basket pressing cylinder 35, an adjustable blocking edge 36, and a flower basket position sensor 37. The flower basket conveying line 34 is slidingly connected to the flower basket Z-axis lifting module 33. The flower basket pressing cylinder 35 is arranged above the flower basket conveying line 34. The adjustable blocking edge 36 is located on both sides of the flower basket conveying line 34. The flower basket position sensor 37 is arranged at the front end of the flower basket conveying line 34. When the flower basket position sensor 37 senses that the flower basket is placed on the flower basket conveying line 34, the flower basket pressing cylinder 35 is driven to press the flower basket downward.

[0067] The flower basket lifting feeding mechanism 31 is connected to the feeding horizontal conveying module 231 of the flower basket feeding and discharging machine 11. When the flower basket filled with solar basic materials is sent to the flower basket lifting feeding mechanism 31, the flower basket conveying line 34 receives the flower basket and transports it to the corresponding station. The adjustable blocking edge 36 positions the flower basket. When the flower basket position sensor 37 senses that the flower basket is transported to the specified position, the flower basket pressing cylinder 35 clamps the flower basket downward. The flower basket is internally provided with a multi-layer structure, and each layer corresponds to placing a solar substrate raw material. In the subsequent feeding process, the telescopic conveying mechanism 4 takes away a layer of solar substrates at a time. After taking away, the flower basket Z-axis lifting module 33 lowers the flower basket by one layer of height, so that the new layer of solar substrates can be aligned with the telescopic conveying mechanism 4, facilitating the next feeding.

[0068] The flower basket lifting and unloading mechanism 32 is connected to the telescopic conveying mechanism 4 to deliver the clinkers. Each piece of solar energy substrate is placed in each layer of the flower basket 15. When one layer of the flower basket 15 is placed, the flower basket Z-axis lifting module 33 drives the flower basket to rise by one layer of height to align with the telescopic conveying mechanism 4. When the flower basket 15 is full, the flower basket pressing cylinder 35 drives the adjustable baffle 36 to release the flower basket 15. The flower basket conveying line 34 sends the flower basket out and connects to the discharging horizontal conveying module 232 of the flower basket feeding and unloading machine 11 to complete the unloading of the flower basket.

[0069] As shown in Figure 9 The telescopic conveying mechanism 4 is connected to the flower basket lifting and feeding mechanism 31 or the flower basket lifting and unloading mechanism 32. The telescopic conveying mechanism 4 includes a telescopic support 41, a conveying motor 42, a driving wheel 43, a first driven wheel 44, a second driven wheel 45, a third driven wheel 46, a belt 47, and a telescopic slider 48. The conveying motor 42 is installed on the telescopic support 41. The telescopic slider 48 is in sliding fit with the telescopic support 41. The driving wheel 43 is connected to the conveying motor 42 through a transmission belt. The first driven wheel 44 is connected to the telescopic support 41. The second driven wheel 45 and the third driven wheel 46 are connected to the telescopic slider 48. The belt 47 is tensioned on the driving wheel 43, the first driven wheel 44, the second driven wheel 45, and the third driven wheel 46.

[0070] During the feeding and unloading of the flower basket 15, the telescopic conveying mechanism 4 is in a retracted state to leave space for the operation of the flower basket lifting and feeding mechanism 31 or the flower basket lifting and unloading mechanism 32. When the flower basket 15 is stable, the telescopic conveying mechanism 4 is extended to connect to each layer of the flower basket. During feeding, the cylinder drives the telescopic slider 48 to extend outward along the telescopic sliding rail 49 on the telescopic support 41. The belt 47 also extends outward along the telescopic slider 48. When it is connected to the inside of the flower basket, it stops. The belt 47 takes one piece of solar energy substrate and conveys it forward. Each time one piece of solar energy substrate is taken away, the flower basket lifting and feeding mechanism 31 is lowered by one layer, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the solar energy substrate. During unloading, the process is opposite to that during feeding. The cylinder drives the telescopic slider 48 to extend outward along the sliding rail on the telescopic support 41. The belt 47 also extends outward along the telescopic slider 48. The belt 47 conveys the solar energy substrate into the flower basket. Each time one piece of solar energy substrate is placed, the flower basket lifting and unloading mechanism 32 rises by one layer. This process is repeated to realize automatic unloading of the sheet material.

[0071] As shown in Figure 10As shown, the material alignment mechanism 5 comprises an alignment bracket 51, an alignment motor 52, connecting rods 53, swing arms 54, clamping arms 55, alignment rollers 56, and clamping-to-position sensors 57. The alignment motor 52 is mounted on the alignment bracket 51, two sets of clamping arms 55 are slidingly connected to the alignment bracket 51, the middle part of the swing arm 54 is connected to the output shaft of the alignment motor 52, the two ends of the swing arm 54 are respectively hinged to one end of the connecting rod 53, the other end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged to the clamping arm 55, the alignment roller 56 is connected to the clamping arm 55, and the clamping-to-position sensor 57 is connected to the alignment bracket 51 and senses the rotation angle of the swing arm 54. The material alignment mechanism 5 further comprises an alignment guide rail 581 and an alignment sliding block 582. The alignment guide rail 581 is fixed to the alignment bracket 51, and the clamping arm 55 is fixed to the alignment sliding block 582. Through the cooperation between the alignment sliding block 582 and the alignment guide rail 581, the sliding connection of the clamping arm 55 relative to the alignment bracket 51 is achieved.

[0072] The material alignment mechanism 5 is arranged at the feeding and discharging assembly line. After the solar energy substrate is conveyed to the material alignment mechanism 5, the swing arm 54 is driven to swing by the alignment motor 52, the clamping arm 55 is driven to translate along the alignment guide rail 581 by the connecting rod 53, so as to clamp the solar energy substrate, thereby realizing the centering alignment of the solar energy substrate and improving the position consistency of the solar energy substrate.

[0073] The material alignment mechanism 5 further comprises two front-and-rear symmetrical edge-finding sensor units 59. The edge-finding sensor units 59 are connected to the alignment bracket 51 through mounting frames, and the two front-and-rear symmetrical edge-finding sensor units 59 are arranged on the front and rear sides of one of the clamping arms 55. The front-and-rear direction is the conveying direction of the conveying belt for conveying the solar energy substrate, and the left-and-right direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying belt for conveying the solar energy substrate. The two clamping arms 55 are arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the conveying mechanism 2 for conveying the sheet material.

[0074] The edge-finding sensor units 59 can be used to detect whether the solar energy substrate is not aligned or has a deviation or has an inclined edge. When both of the edge-finding sensor units 59 detect the solar energy substrate, it indicates that the edge of the solar energy substrate is aligned. When only one of the edge-finding sensor units 39 detects the solar energy substrate, it indicates that the position of the solar energy substrate has a deviation and has an inclined edge, and the alignment is not uniform. At this time, an alarm is given.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 6, the edge-finding sensor units 59 are arranged on the front and rear sides of the clamping arm 55. Figure 11As shown, the material buffering mechanism 6 includes a buffering support 61, a buffering material frame 62, a buffering Z-axis lifting module 63, and a buffering section conveying line 64. The buffering Z-axis lifting module 63 is connected to the buffering support 61, and the buffering material frame 62 is slidingly connected to the buffering Z-axis lifting module 63. The inner cavity side wall of the buffering material frame 62 is provided with a plurality of convex teeth for placing solar substrates. The buffering material frame is sleeved on the buffering section conveying line 64 and is lifted relative to the buffering section conveying line 64.

[0076] The material buffering mechanism 6 can be installed on the feeding flow line for feeding buffering or installed on the discharging flow line for discharging buffering.

[0077] When the solar substrates need to be buffered, the buffering Z-axis lifting module 63 drives the buffering material frame 62 to rise, so as to buffer the excess solar substrates on the flow line on the buffering material frame 62. When the solar substrates need to be released, the buffering Z-axis lifting module 63 drives the buffering material frame 62 to descend, so as to release the solar substrates on the buffering section conveying line 64. Similarly, when the flower basket needs to be replaced, the buffered solar substrates are released to supplement the materials on the feeding flow line. When the flower basket needs to be replaced, the solar substrates are buffered on the buffering material frame 62, and then the solar substrates are released to the discharging flow line after the empty flower basket is replaced.

[0078] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 The material carrying mechanism 7 includes a carrying support 71, a material carrying module 72, a suction cup support 73, a material suction cup 74, and a suction cup leveling assembly 75. The material carrying module 72 is connected to the carrying support 71, the suction cup support 73 is slidingly connected to the material carrying module 72, the suction cup support 73 is connected to at least one material suction cup 74, and one end of the suction cup leveling assembly 75 is fixed to the suction cup support 73 and the other end of the suction cup leveling assembly 75 is abutted on the material suction cup 74 to adjust the angle of the material suction cup 74.

[0079] The material carrying module 72 includes a carrying linear motor 721 and a carrying sliding block 722. The carrying linear motor 721 is installed on the carrying support 71, and the suction cup support 73 is installed on the carrying sliding block 722. The carrying linear motor 721 can drive a plurality of material suction cups 74 to feed between the conveying mechanism 2 and the double-station carrying platform 8. The suction cup support 73 can also be provided with a vacuum gauge 76 to monitor the vacuum degree of the material suction cup 74 in real time.

[0080] As shown in Figure 14As shown, the suction cup leveling assembly 75 includes a leveling nut 751, a leveling top screw 752, and a leveling fixed plate 753. The leveling nut 751 is fixedly connected to the leveling fixed plate 753, and the leveling top screw 752 is threadedly connected to the leveling nut 751. The top head 756 of the leveling top screw 752 penetrates through the leveling fixed plate 753 and is in contact with the top of the material suction cup 74. By rotating the leveling top screw 752, the leveling top screw 752 will move up and down along the thread on the leveling nut 751 to adjust the depth of the material suction cup 74, thereby achieving the effect of leveling the material suction cup 74. In actual application, multiple leveling top screws 752 can be used to uniformly press multiple parts of the material suction cup 74, which can conveniently and quickly level the material suction cup 74 from multiple angles.

[0081] The leveling top screw 752 is provided with a rotating groove 754 for connecting a wrench. During the leveling operation, the wrench or other tool is inserted into the rotating groove 754 to rotate the leveling top screw 752 to adjust the position relative to the leveling nut 751. The leveling operation is simple and convenient.

[0082] The suction cup leveling assembly 75 further includes a tension screw 755 which is threadedly connected to the side of the leveling nut 751. When tightened, the tension screw 755 presses against the side of the leveling top screw 752. After adjusting the position of each leveling top screw 752 relative to the leveling nut 751 to level the entire material suction cup 74, the position of the leveling top screw 752 is fixed by tightening the tension screw 755 to prevent the leveling top screw 752 from loosening during the movement of the material suction cup module 3, which may cause the grabbing angle of the material suction cup 74 to deviate and fail to accurately grab the material.

[0083] When it is necessary to transport the raw material of the solar substrate, the transporting linear motor 721 of the raw material end material transporting module 72 moves the material suction cup 74 to the feeding line through the transporting slider 722. A single material suction cup 74 is vacuumized to generate suction force to suck a single solar substrate. At the same time, the vacuum table 76 displays the vacuum data of the material suction cup 74 at this time. The vacuum data is used to confirm whether the material suction cup 74 has sucked the material. If not, an alarm will be prompted. If yes, the transporting linear motor 721 moves the material suction cup 74 module to the double-station transporting platform 8, stops vacuumizing the material suction cup 74, and makes the solar substrate separate, which is placed on the corresponding jig of the double-station transporting platform 8.

[0084] When it is needed to unload the solar substrate calcine, the material carrying linear motor 721 of the calcine end material carrying mechanism 5 moves the material suction cup 74 to the double-station carrying platform 8, and the material suction cup 74 is vacuumized to generate suction force to suck the single solar substrate, and the vacuum table 76 displays the vacuum data of the material suction cup 74 at this time, and whether the material suction cup 74 sucks the material well is confirmed through the vacuum data, and if not, an alarm is prompted, and if yes, the material carrying linear motor 721 moves the material suction cup 74 to the unloading assembly line, and the vacuum of the material suction cup 74 is stopped to make the solar substrate separate.

[0085] As shown in Figure 15 , the double-station carrying platform 8 comprises a double-mover transfer module 81, a carrying jig 82 for placing the solar substrate, and a mover sliding block 83, two groups of mover sliding blocks 83 are slidably connected to the double-mover transfer module 81, and the carrying jig 82 is connected to the mover sliding block 83. The double-mover transfer module 81 drives the carrying jig 82 to move between the feeding station, the discharging station and the laser processing station through the mover sliding block 83.

[0086] The double-station carrying platform 8 is provided with two groups of mover sliding blocks 83 corresponding to two feeding and discharging assembly lines, and the double-mover transfer module 81 drives one group of mover sliding blocks 83 to move between the feeding station, the discharging station and the laser processing station, and the two groups of mover sliding blocks 83 work alternately to realize efficient feeding and processing of the solar substrate. A plurality of carrying jigs 82 can be arranged on each mover sliding block 83, and each carrying jig 82 is used to place a piece of solar substrate, and each carrying jig 82 corresponds to a laser processing head. According to the number of laser processing heads, a plurality of double-station carrying platforms 8 can be arranged to correspond to a plurality of laser processing heads, and the material carrying mechanism 5 alternately feeds and discharges the plurality of double-station carrying platforms 8.

[0087] The visual positioning mechanism 91 comprises a visual positioning bracket 911 and a visual positioning camera 912 for positioning the solar substrate to be processed, and the visual positioning bracket 911 is installed above the laser processing station of the double-station carrying platform 8, and the visual positioning camera 912 is connected to the visual positioning bracket 911 and is aligned with the double-station carrying platform 8.

[0088] As shown in Figure 16 , the double-station carrying platform 8 further comprises a backlight light source 84 for cooperating with the focusing visual positioning camera 912 to take pictures, and the two top corners of the carrying jig 82 are provided with light transmission holes 85, and the backlight light source 84 is located below the light transmission holes 85. Before the solar substrate on the carrying jig 82 is sent below the laser processing station, the visual positioning camera 912 positions the position of the solar substrate through the backlight light source 84 at the light transmission holes 85 of the carrying jig 82, so that the laser processing mechanism 92 can accurately process on the surface of the solar substrate through positioning.

[0089] like Figure 17 As shown, the transport fixture 82 includes a fixture plate 821, a leveling support plate 822, an adjusting screw 823, an adjusting outer nut 824, an adjusting knob 825, and a locking bolt 826. The leveling support plate 822 is mounted on the movable slider. The fixture plate 821 is connected to the leveling support plate 822. The leveling support plate 822 has leveling holes. The adjusting outer nut 824 is fixed in the leveling holes. One end of the adjusting screw 823 passes through the adjusting outer nut 824 and pushes against the fixture plate 821. The adjusting screw 823 and the adjusting outer nut 824 are connected by threads. The other end of the adjusting screw 823 is connected to the adjusting knob 825. The locking bolt 826 is connected to the bottom of the adjusting knob 825. The adjusting screw 823, the adjusting outer nut 824, the adjusting knob 825, and the locking bolt 826 together constitute the intuitive leveling assembly 827.

[0090] Adjusting knob 825 rotates adjusting screw 823 relative to adjusting nut 824. Through a threaded connection, adjusting screw 823 is raised or lowered, controlling the lifting height of fixture plate 821. After adjustment, locking bolt 826 secures knob 825 to prevent loosening and movement of adjusting screw 823, thus preventing tilting of fixture plate 821. Locking bolt 826, tightened from the center, prevents minor misalignment and allows for 0.01mm flatness adjustment. The leveling structure allows changing the position of fixture plate 821 relative to leveling support plate 32. If fixture plate 821 is found to be uneven before or during processing, the machine can be stopped, and the leveling structure manually adjusted to a horizontal position to ensure the accuracy of subsequent laser processing.

[0091] like Figure 18 As shown, the NG receiving mechanism 93 includes a receiving bracket 931, a receiving and conveying module 932, a receiving suction cup 933, and a receiving fixture 934.

The inspection cameras 942 are CCD cameras.

[0093] The detection camera 942 takes real-time photos of the solar substrate passing through the pipeline and feeds back the detection. If the solar substrate is normal and has no defects, the solar substrate is normally fed or discharged. If a defective solar substrate is detected, the collection and conveying module 932 drives the collection suction cup 933 to pick up the defective solar substrate on the pipeline and place it on the collection jig 934 for NG material processing.
