Description
A new type of positioning and curing production line Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic automation technology, and it relates to a novel positioning and curing production line. Background Technology
[0002] In the photovoltaic industry, crystal ingots need to be sliced, requiring crystal holders and adhesive plates as tooling to bond the ingots. This process is called adhesive bonding. To automate the adhesive bonding process, there are generally two production lines. One is step-by-step curing. In this method, the crystal holder and adhesive plate are bonded first, and the two are aligned using an adhesive plate clamp. After waiting 30 minutes, the adhesive initially solidifies, and then the adhesive plate clamp is removed. After applying adhesive to the upper surface of the adhesive plate, the crystal ingot is placed on the adhesive plate, and then the crystal ingot clamp is placed on top, and it is left to stand for another 30 minutes. At this point, the adhesive under the crystal ingot has initially solidified. The crystal ingot clamp is then removed, and the crystal holder, its adhesive plate, and the crystal ingot are placed in a flat storage area and left to stand for another 2.5 hours to completely cure the adhesive. The second method is three-in-one curing. This method involves applying adhesive to the upper surfaces of the crystal tray and adhesive plate, then placing the crystal tray, adhesive plate, and crystal rod into a three-in-one centering device from bottom to top for alignment. A three-in-one pressure block is then placed on top, and the assembly is placed in a flat storage chamber via a gantry for 30 minutes of uniform settling. At this point, the adhesive between the three components has initially cured. The three-in-one pressure block is then removed, and the assembly is left to stand for another 2.5 hours to completely cure the adhesive. Traditional adhesive production lines primarily use flat storage chambers for curing, which requires a large area and is unsuitable for use in confined spaces. Furthermore, the positioning during curing via the pressure block can cause slippage of the adhesive plate and crystal rod due to adhesive flow, significantly affecting the alignment accuracy.

[0041] The crystal tray conveyor line transports crystal trays via a conveyor roller conveyor. The function of this conveyor line is to transport crystal trays to the robot's pre-curing and setting warehouse. During transport, the crystal trays are flipped so that the adhesive side faces upwards, and simultaneously rinsed, wiped, and dried. Before being supplied to the robot's pre-curing and setting warehouse, the crystal tray conveyor line measures the temperature of the crystal trays. Crystal trays with unacceptable temperatures are temporarily stored on a crystal tray NG cart by the adhesive board loading robot B. Crystal trays with acceptable temperatures are transported by the conveyor roller conveyor to the crystal tray adhesive applicator for adhesive application. After adhesive application, the adhesive board is placed on the adhesive board by the adhesive board loading robot A. Finally, the crystal tray and its adhesive board are transported to the robot's pre-curing and setting warehouse.
[0042] The function of the adhesive slab conveyor line is to supply adhesive slabs to the crystal tray conveyor line. Before supplying adhesive slabs to the crystal tray conveyor line, the adhesive slab conveyor line measures the temperature. Adhesive slabs with unacceptable temperatures are temporarily stored on the adhesive slab defect NG rack A by the adhesive slab loading robot B. Adhesive slabs with acceptable temperatures are conveyed to the adhesive slab coating machine by the adhesive slab conveyor rollers. Before supplying adhesive slabs to the crystal tray conveyor line, the adhesive slab conveyor line performs an adhesive coating test. Adhesive slabs with unacceptable adhesive coating are temporarily stored on the adhesive slab defect NG rack B by the adhesive slab loading robot A. Adhesive slabs with acceptable adhesive coating are then transferred to the crystal tray conveyor line by the adhesive slab loading robot A.
[0043] The technical process involves applying adhesive to the crystal ingot, adhesive plate, and crystal holder, then sequentially placing them into a centering and curing mechanism for stacking. A pressure block is then placed on top, and the centering and curing mechanism centers the crystal ingot, adhesive plate, and crystal holder for 30 minutes until the adhesive has initially cured. After initial curing, the crystal ingot is transferred to a three-dimensional settling chamber for further curing.
[0044] The handling robot uses a multi-functional gripper to pick up materials from the stationary positioning rack and place them on the solidified material output roller conveyor. The robot's pre-stationary curing silo functions to align crystal rods, adhesive plates, and crystal trays, press them onto a three-in-one pressing block, and hold for 30 minutes to allow the adhesive between the materials to initially solidify. The initially solidified material is then transported to the automated stationary silo. After the pre-cured material is stationary in the automated stationary silo rack for 2.5 hours, the adhesive within it is completely solidified. The stacker crane removes the completely solidified material from the automated stationary silo rack and sends it to an outbound flipping device for vertical flipping, before workers deliver it to the next process. The automated stationary silo functions to allow the pre-cured material to stand for 2.5 hours until the adhesive is completely solidified, then sends the material to the outbound flipping device for vertical flipping, awaiting manual removal.
[0045] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:
[0046] The present invention provides a novel positioning and curing production line that solves the problems of long adhesive curing time, material transfer after alignment, low precision after bonding, and large footprint in the prior art. At the same time, it speeds up the production cycle, enabling the adhesive production line to better realize industrial automation and meet the high efficiency and stability required for industrial production.
[0047] The present invention provides a novel positioning and curing production line, which can greatly improve the centering accuracy of materials after adhesive bonding and reduce the centering error caused during transportation and static placement.

[0120] The handling robot 403 moves the multi-functional gripper 405 above the adhesive plate 7 and the crystal tray 8, and slowly lowers the multi-functional gripper 405 until the gripping portions of the left gripper 40508 and the right gripper 40513 are below the crystal tray 8. The gripper cylinders 40503 on both sides retract, driving the gripper push plate 40505 through the floating joint 40504, thereby pushing the left gripper 40508 and the right gripper 40513 to clamp at distance a1. The handling robot 403 raises the multi-functional gripper 405, lifting the adhesive plate 7 and the crystal tray 8, and moves it above the stationary positioning rack 401. The handling robot 403 lowers the multi-functional gripper 405, placing the bottom of the crystal tray 8 on the upper surface of the middle part of the bottom mounting plate 40104. The gripper cylinders 40503 on both sides extend, causing the left gripper 40508 and the right gripper 40513 to open to distance a2. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 and moves it to the top of the crystal rod 6 on the crystal rod input roller line to wait.
[0121] The crystal tray centering cylinder 40112 in the stationary positioning material rack 401 retracts, causing the crystal tray cylinder connecting plate 40111 and the crystal tray connecting plate 40110 to slide along the linear guide rail 40103, thereby causing the crystal tray positioning adjustment bolt 40108 to clamp the crystal tray 8 on the bottom mounting plate 40104.
[0122] The centering cylinder 40114 of the adhesive plate in the stationary positioning material rack 401 retracts, causing the adhesive plate cylinder connecting plate 40113 and the adhesive plate connecting plate 40106 to slide along the linear guide rail 40103, thereby causing the adhesive plate positioning adjustment bolt 40105 to clamp the adhesive plate 7 above the crystal support 8.
[0123] After the stationary positioning rack 401 clamps the crystal holder 8 and the adhesive plate 7, the handling robot 403 lowers the multi-functional gripper 405 until the sponge suction cup 40511 contacts the crystal rod 6. The sponge suction cup 40511 creates a vacuum to pick up the crystal rod 6. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 and moves the crystal rod 6 above the adhesive plate 7 and the crystal holder 8 on the bottom mounting plate 40104 in the stationary positioning rack 401. The multi-functional gripper 405 is slowly lowered, placing the crystal rod 6 on the adhesive plate 7. The sponge suction cup 40511 breaks the vacuum and stops picking up the crystal rod 6. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 back to the waiting position.
[0124] The crystal rod centering cylinder 40115 in the stationary positioning rack 401 retracts, causing the crystal rod cylinder connecting plate 40116 and the crystal rod centering pressure plate 40101 to slide along the linear guide rail 40103, thus clamping the crystal rod 6 with the crystal rod centering pressure plate 40101. At this point, the crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7, and crystal support 8 are all clamped and fixed by the stationary positioning rack 401. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 and uses the sponge suction cup 40511 to pick up the three-in-one pressure block 40201, placing it on top of the crystal rod 6. The sponge suction cup 40511 breaks the vacuum, stopping the suction of the three-in-one pressure block 40201. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 and returns to the waiting position.
[0125] According to the process requirements, the crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7 and crystal holder 8 should be left to stand for 30 minutes.
[0126] The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405, picks up the three-in-one pressing block 40201 using the sponge suction cup 40511, and places it on the pressing block holder 40202. The handling robot 403 then lifts the multi-functional gripper 405 back to the waiting position.
[0127] After the three-in-one pressing block 40201 is placed, the stationary positioning rack 401 releases the clamping of the crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7, and crystal holder 8 by sequentially extending the crystal rod centering cylinder 40115, the adhesive plate centering cylinder 40114, and the crystal holder centering cylinder 40112. The handling robot 403 moves the multi-functional gripper 405 above the crystal rod 6 and slowly lowers the multi-functional gripper 405 until the gripping portions of the left gripper 40508 and the right gripper 40513 are below the crystal holder 8. The two gripper cylinders 40503 retract, driving the gripper push plate 40505 through the floating joint 40504, thereby pushing the left gripper 40508 and the right gripper 40513 to clamp to a distance a2. The handling robot 403 lifts the multi-functional gripper 405, lifting the crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7, and crystal holder 8, and moves them above the solidified material output roller conveyor 404. The handling robot 403 lowers its multi-functional gripper 405, placing the bottom of the crystal tray 8 onto the solidified material output roller conveyor 404. The gripper cylinders 40503 extend, opening the left gripper 40508 and right gripper 40513, lowering the solidified crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7, and crystal tray 8. The handling robot 403 then raises the multi-functional gripper 405 and moves it to the material handling position on the crystal tray conveyor 1. The solidified material output roller conveyor 404 delivers the solidified crystal rod 6, adhesive plate 7, and crystal tray 8 to the automated settling chamber 5.
