[0044] Example 3

[0045] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, in order to improve the efficiency of framing, a conveying component for facilitating the conveying of glass is installed on the framing device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission component 1 includes a conveying frame 104 and a lifting cylinder 501. The lifting cylinder 501 is installed on the working cabinet 4. The lifting cylinder 501 controls the lifting and lowering of the conveying frame 104. A conveyor belt 103 for conveying glass is installed on the conveying frame 104; the conveying frames 104 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting frame group 502, and transmission gears are installed at both ends of the conveying frames 104. The transmission belt 103 is installed on the transmission gears. A gear shaft 102 is installed between the transmission gears on one side of the symmetrically arranged conveying frames 104, and a motor 101 is installed on one side of one of the conveying frames 104. The motor 101 drives the transmission gear to rotate through a pulley transmission.

[0046] A method for using a solar panel module frame assembly device comprises the following steps:

[0047] The motor 101 drives the transmission gear in the conveyor frame 104 to rotate, and the glass is conveyed to the top of the intermediate conveying area 405 through the conveyor belt 103 (at this time, the lifting cylinder 501 works to lift the conveying component 1 to ensure that the glass does not collide with the horizontal flip component 2 and the longitudinal flip component 3 during the forward movement). The lifting cylinder 501 moves down so that the glass is placed on the lifting component 5. At this time, the longitudinal frame 303 is placed on the frame fixture 1 311 and the horizontal frame 203 is placed on the frame fixture 2 208 through the robotic arm in the previous process. The telescopic cylinder 1 304 pushes the pressing plate 305 to one side of the longitudinal frame 303 and the horizontal frame 203, and the longitudinal frame 303 and the horizontal frame 203 are pressed by the pressing plate 305. The driving component 302 drives the gear group 306 to work, the longitudinal rotating shaft 309 rotates, and the frame fixture 1 311 rotates 180 degrees with the longitudinal rotating shaft 309. Then, the cylinder group controls the lifting mechanism 5 to adjust the position of the glass to ensure that the glass and The longitudinal frame 303 and the transverse frame 203 are aligned, and the cylinder assembly 704 works, pushing the longitudinal flip assembly 3 toward the glass through the follower 703. At this time, the telescopic cylinder 3 601 works, pushing the push plate 603 toward the longitudinal frame 303, and the pressure strip 602 applies a force perpendicular to the longitudinal frame 303 to press the longitudinal frame 303 and the glass. The pressing principle of the transverse frame 203 is the same as that of the longitudinal frame 303. When the transverse frame is pressed, the pressing cylinder pushes the pressing frame piece 9 toward the transverse frame 203, and the groove of the pressing frame piece 9 is stuck on the outside of the transverse frame 203 to ensure that the transverse frame 203 and the glass are pressed tightly. At this time, the swing cylinder drives the positioning clamping block 8 to swing, and limits the position of the transverse flip assembly 2 on the slide rail 205 through the positioning clamping block 8, so that the position of the glass and the transverse frame is accurate. After the framing process is completed, the glass is moved up through the conveying assembly 1 and continues to be transported to the next production line. The degree of automation is high and the framing quality is guaranteed.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
