The change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantially changing the technical content, is also considered as the scope of the present application that can be implemented.

[0049] As Figures 1 to 17As shown, the embodiment provides a kind of for mechanical hand's upper electrical tooling and photovoltaic module dismounting mechanism, including the frame body 1 for being connected with mechanical hand arm, tooling stopper 2 installed on frame body 1, pull-out driving device 3 installed on frame body 1, and joint clamp jaw 4 installed on pull-out driving device 3, joint clamp jaw 4 can clamp and release the terminal of the junction box of photovoltaic module, pull-out driving device 3 can drive joint clamp jaw 4 movement along the direction of being away from tooling stopper 2.This for mechanical hand's upper electrical tooling and photovoltaic module dismounting mechanism when using, frame body 1 is connected with mechanical hand arm, mechanical hand arm drives frame body 1 and whole dismounting mechanism movement to the corresponding position of terminal of the junction box of photovoltaic module with joint clamp jaw 4, tooling stopper 2 and the blocked part of upper electrical tooling 6 correspond to each other at this time, joint clamp jaw 4 acts, and clamps junction box terminal, pull-out driving device 3 drives joint clamp jaw 4 and junction box terminal movement along the direction of being away from tooling stopper 2, until the terminal of the junction box is pulled out from upper electrical tooling 6, realizes the dismounting of both, compared with manual operation, improve the operation efficiency, reduce labor intensity, save manpower cost.

[0050] As shown, Figures 3 to 6 In the embodiment, the terminal of the junction box can be a male terminal 71 or a female terminal 72 of the junction box of the photovoltaic module. By repeatedly performing the dismounting operation using the dismounting mechanism, the male terminal 71 and the female terminal 72 can be dismounted from the upper electrical tooling 6, respectively.

[0051] Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 In the embodiment, the for mechanical hand's upper electrical tooling and photovoltaic module dismounting mechanism further includes a tooling clamping module 5, which includes a tooling clamping driving device 51 installed on the frame body 1 and two movement plates 52 connected with the tooling clamping driving device 51. The two movement plates 52 are each provided with a clamping block 53. The tooling clamping driving device 51 can drive the two movement plates 52 to move along the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. After the male terminal 71 and the female terminal 72 are dismounted from the upper electrical tooling 6, the mechanical hand arm drives the dismounting mechanism to move to the position corresponding to the upper electrical tooling 6 of the tooling clamping module 5. The tooling clamping driving device 51 acts and drives the two movement plates 52 to approach each other until the clamping blocks 53 on the two movement plates 52 respectively contact the pipe body 61 of the upper electrical tooling 6, so as to clamp the pipe body 61 of the upper electrical tooling 6. Then, the mechanical hand arm drives the dismounting mechanism and the upper electrical tooling 6 to move to a set position. The tooling clamping device drives the two movement plates 52 to move along the direction of moving away from each other. The tooling clamping module 5 releases the upper electrical tooling 6, so as to transfer the upper electrical tooling 6 to the set position.

[0052] The tool clamping driving device 51 in the embodiment adopts a cylinder, specifically a large-opening cylinder. When the piston rod of the large-opening cylinder extends or retracts, it can drive the two moving plates 52 to move synchronously in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. Meanwhile, two clamping blocks 53 are specifically installed on each moving plate 52 in the embodiment, and the two clamping blocks 53 on one moving plate 52 correspond to the two clamping blocks 53 on the other moving plate 52. In the embodiment, the clamping blocks 53 are provided with clamping grooves 531, which are used to be clamped with the pipe body 61 of the live tool 6. When the pipe body 61 of the live tool 6 is clamped, the clamping grooves 531 are clamped on the side wall of the pipe body 61, that is, the pipe body 61 is embedded in the clamping grooves 531, thereby enhancing the clamping effect on the pipe body 61 and preventing the pipe body 61 from slipping off. The clamping grooves 531 on the clamping blocks 53 on the two moving plates 52 are oppositely opened.

[0053] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 16 , the tool clamping module 5 in the embodiment further includes a tool sensing sensor 54 installed on the two moving plates 52. Specifically, the tool sensing sensor 54 adopts a laser transmission photoelectric sensor. After the tool clamping module 5 performs the clamping action of the live tool 6, if the tool sensing sensor 54 senses the live tool 6, it indicates that the tool clamping module 5 accurately clamps the live tool 6. If the tool sensing sensor 54 does not sense the live tool 6, it indicates that the tool clamping module 5 fails to accurately clamp the live tool 6, and the position of the tool clamping module 5 needs to be adjusted again, and the clamping action needs to be performed again until the tool sensing sensor 54 detects that the live tool 6 is accurately clamped.

[0054] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the joint clamping jaw 4 in the embodiment includes a clamping jaw driving device 41 connected with the pulling-out driving device 3, and two clamping jaw blocks 42 connected with the clamping jaw driving device 41. The clamping jaw driving device 41 can drive the two clamping jaw blocks 42 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. In the embodiment, the clamping jaw driving device 41 adopts a cylinder. During the clamping of the joint, the clamping jaw driving device 41 drives the two clamping jaw blocks 42 to approach each other until the joint is clamped. In the embodiment, the surface of each of the two clamping jaw blocks 42 facing each other is provided with friction sawteeth to increase the friction force when contacting the joint.

[0055] In addition, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the upper electric tool for the manipulator in the embodiment and the photovoltaic module dismounting mechanism further comprise a joint sensing sensor 11 installed on the frame body 1, which is located between the clamping jaw block 42 and the tool stop block 2. When the joint clamping jaw 4 clamps the terminal box joint, the joint sensing sensor 11 can sense the terminal box joint. After the joint clamping jaw 4 is moved by the pulling-out driving device 3 and the terminal box joint is pulled out, the joint sensing sensor 11 cannot sense the terminal box joint, which indicates that the terminal box joint has been accurately pulled out. In the embodiment, the pulling-out driving device 3 is a cylinder, specifically a slide cylinder. In the embodiment, the joint sensing sensor 11 is a miniature reflection photoelectric sensor.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the upper electric tool 6 in the embodiment specifically comprises two pipe bodies 61 made of aluminum pipes, two upper electric copper blocks 62 respectively installed on the two aluminum pipes, a female socket 63 and a male socket 64. The female socket 63 is fixedly connected with one of the upper electric copper blocks 62 through a connecting block 65, and the male socket 64 is fixedly connected with the other upper electric copper block 62 through another connecting block 65. During the upper electric test, the male joint 71 and the female joint 72 of the photovoltaic module are respectively inserted into the male socket 64 and the female socket 63 of the upper electric tool 6. After the upper electric test is completed, the tool stop block 2 of the dismounting mechanism is clamped at the connecting block 65 during the process of pulling out the male joint 71 and the female joint 72 from the two sockets by using the dismounting mechanism, which blocks the connecting block 65, so as to ensure that the joint clamping jaw 4 and the terminal box joint can be moved relative to the upper electric tool 6 when the pulling-out driving device 3 acts, and then are removed from the sockets, thereby realizing the dismounting operation and preventing the upper electric tool 6 from moving and deviating from the original position during the process. In addition, the male joint 71 and the female joint 72 each comprise a joint portion 73 and a clamping portion 74. During the dismounting process, the joint clamping jaw 4 specifically clamps the clamping portion 74 of the joint, so as to pull out the terminal box joint.

[0057] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 16As shown, two clamping blocks 53 are arranged on each of the two moving plates 52 in the embodiment, and when the tool clamping driving device 51 performs clamping action, it drives the two moving plates 52 to move close to each other until the two clamping blocks 53 on the moving plates 52 are respectively clamped with the side walls of the two pipe bodies 61 of the upper electrical tool 6, and each pipe body 61 is clamped by two corresponding clamping blocks 53, so as to ensure that the upper electrical tool 6 can be clamped firmly, and then the upper electrical tool 6 is transferred to the set position by the action of the mechanical arm. In addition, in the process, the laser light receiving photoelectric sensor installed on the two moving plates 52 is used to detect whether the aluminum pipes at both ends of the upper electrical tool 6 are clamped, so as to ensure that the clamping and transferring operations of the upper electrical tool 6 can be accurately realized. After the upper electrical tool 6 is transferred to the set position, the tool clamping driving device 51 reverses the action and drives the two moving plates 52 to move in the direction away from each other, so as to release the upper electrical tool 6.

[0058] In addition, in the embodiment, each driving device of the dismounting mechanism, such as the tool clamping driving device 51, the pulling-out driving device 3 and the jaw driving device 41, is connected with the corresponding control unit, and the control unit controls the driving devices to perform corresponding actions. In addition, each sensor of the dismounting mechanism is connected with the control unit to feed back the detected corresponding information to the control unit.

[0059] The specific steps of the dismounting mechanism in the embodiment for performing the dismounting operation of the junction box connector and the transferring operation of the upper electrical tool 6 are as follows:

[0060] The jaw driving device 41 drives the two jaw blocks 42 to be in the open state, the mechanical arm drives the dismounting mechanism to move to the set position, the jaw driving device 41 drives the two jaw blocks 42 to clamp the male connector 71, the tool blocking block 2 is in the blocking position, the tool blocking block 2 acts on the connecting block 65 of the upper electrical tool 6, and the miniature light receiving photoelectric sensor senses the male connector 71, which is in the state of clamping the male connector 71;

[0061] The piston rod of the pulling-out driving device 3 extends and drives the connector jaw 4 and the male connector 71 to move to the set position in the direction away from the socket, and the miniature light receiving photoelectric sensor cannot sense the male connector 71, which indicates that the male connector 71 has been completely pulled out, so as to realize that the male connector 71 is completely pulled out from the socket.

[0062] The mechanical arm drives the dismounting mechanism to move to the position corresponding to the female connector 72, and performs the same action as pulling out the male connector 71, so as to realize that the female connector 72 is pulled out from the socket.

[0063] The mechanical arm adjusts the position of the dismounting mechanism, the piston rod of the tool clamping driving device 51 is in an extended state, and the two movement plates 52 are also in an open state. After the tool clamping module 5 moves to the set position, the clamping blocks 53 correspond to the aluminum pipes, the piston rod of the tool clamping driving device 51 is retracted, and the two movement plates 52 are driven to move close to each other until the clamping blocks 53 at both ends clamp the two aluminum pipes of the upper electrical tool 6, and the laser light emitting and receiving photoelectric sensor detects whether the upper electrical tool 6 has been clamped. After detecting that the upper electrical tool 6 has been clamped, the mechanical arm moves to drive the dismounting mechanism and the upper electrical tool 6 to move to the set position, the piston rod of the tool clamping driving device 51 is extended, the tool clamping module 5 releases the upper electrical tool 6, and the upper electrical tool 6 is placed down, so that the upper electrical tool 6 is transferred to the set position.

[0064] The embodiment adopts the dismounting mechanism to realize corresponding dismounting operation and transfer operation, saves labor cost, and improves work efficiency; meanwhile, electronic sensors are added to avoid the situation that the terminal box connector is not pulled out, cannot be pulled out, and the upper electrical tool 6 is not grasped, and ensure the success rate of pulling out the connector and transferring the upper electrical tool 6.

[0065] In summary, the present application effectively overcomes the shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0066] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
