Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage technology for flexible-edge photovoltaic modules, and more specifically, to a storage device for flexible-edge photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Soft-edge photovoltaic modules consist of a rectangular glass body and soft edges extending away from the glass body from three adjacent side edges. During production, conveying equipment is used to transfer soft-edge photovoltaic modules between different workstations.

[0003] Existing conveying equipment generally only has the function of transmission. However, the processing efficiency of flexible-edge photovoltaic modules at the two stations before and after the conveying equipment is inevitably different. It often happens that the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the previous station have arrived at the conveying equipment before the latter station has finished processing. This causes the conveying equipment to stop and wait for the processing of the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules at the next station to be completed before it can be restarted. This affects the transmission of the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the previous station to the conveying equipment and slows down the production efficiency of flexible-edge photovoltaic modules.

[0004] Therefore, how to ensure that the soft-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the previous station can be transported to the conveying equipment while avoiding the need to transport them to the next station, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art, when the processing efficiency of the soft-edge photovoltaic modules at the previous station is higher than that at the next station. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a storage device for flexible-edge photovoltaic modules. The support unit of its frame structure can support the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules on the loading surface of the conveying mechanism. This ensures that when the processing steps at the workstations after the conveying mechanism are not completed, the lifting drive component drives the frame structure to rise, causing the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules on the loading surface of the conveying mechanism to detach from the conveying mechanism. This serves to temporarily store the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules and ensures that the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the workstations before the conveying mechanism can be transported to the loading surface of the conveying mechanism.

Implementation

[0062] This application discloses a storage device for flexible-edge photovoltaic modules. The support unit of its frame structure can support the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules on the loading surface of the conveying mechanism. When the processing steps at the workstations after the conveying mechanism are not completed, the lifting drive component drives the frame structure to rise, causing the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules on the loading surface of the conveying mechanism to detach from the conveying mechanism. This serves to temporarily store the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules and ensures that the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the workstations before the conveying mechanism can be transported to the loading surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0063] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] Please see Figures 1-16 This application provides a storage device for flexible-edge photovoltaic modules, including a frame 110, a carrier structure, and a lifting drive assembly. The carrier structure includes at least one support unit for supporting the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules conveyed on the loading surface of the conveying mechanism. The support unit includes a support rod and a receiving portion. The receiving portion is disposed on the support rod and has a first receiving height. The lifting drive assembly is disposed on the frame 110 and is used to drive the carrier structure to rise or fall.

[0065] When using the aforementioned storage device, the flexible-edge photovoltaic module is transported from the previous workstation to the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism, where it enters the receiving portion of the carrying unit. If the processing step at the next workstation is completed, the conveying mechanism transports the flexible-edge photovoltaic module to the next workstation, while the module passes through the receiving portion. If the processing step at the next workstation is not yet completed, the lifting drive component drives the carrier structure to rise, and the receiving portion lifts the flexible-edge photovoltaic module, detaching it from the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism. This serves to temporarily store the flexible-edge photovoltaic module while preventing the conveying mechanism from being occupied, ensuring that the flexible-edge photovoltaic module transported from the previous workstation can be transferred to the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0066] Of course, if there is no incoming material at the previous station when the processing step at the next station is completed, the lifting drive component can be used to drive the carrier structure to descend, so that the temporarily stored soft-edge photovoltaic modules fall back onto the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism and are transported to the next station through the conveying mechanism.

[0067] In the storage device for soft-edge photovoltaic modules provided in this application, the support unit of the carrier structure can support the soft-edge photovoltaic modules on the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism. This ensures that when the processing steps at the workstations after the conveying mechanism are not completed, the carrier structure is driven to rise by the lifting drive component to remove the soft-edge photovoltaic modules from the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism, thus temporarily storing the soft-edge photovoltaic modules. It also ensures that the soft-edge photovoltaic modules processed at the workstations before the conveying mechanism can be transported to the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0068] To facilitate the entry of the flexible-edge photovoltaic module into the housing, the aforementioned support unit further includes a first guide structure 122; the housing includes an insertion end, and the flexible-edge photovoltaic module enters the housing from the insertion end during application; the first guide structure 122 is disposed at the insertion end of the housing; the first guide structure 122 has a first guide height h2, which is greater than the first housing height, to ensure that the first guide structure 122 plays a guiding role for the flexible-edge photovoltaic module.

[0069] Preferably, multiple support units are configured, and each support unit is arranged vertically. Each support unit is used to support one flexible-edge photovoltaic module, and the number of them is set to multiple to realize the storage of multiple flexible-edge photovoltaic modules.

[0070] Those skilled in the art will understand that the soft edge of a flexible photovoltaic module is severely warped, requiring a larger first guide height h2 to guide the soft edge into the receiving portion. However, an excessively large first guide height h2 would prevent the arrangement of more load-bearing units within the same assembly space, reducing the storage capacity of the storage device. To address this issue, this embodiment provides a storage device that further includes a second guide structure 112 disposed at the loading end of the receiving portion. The second guide structure 112 has a second guide height h1, which is greater than the first guide height h2.

[0071] When the flexible-edge photovoltaic module passes through the second guide structure 112, its warping is reduced by the constraint of the second guide structure 112, which facilitates its entry into the first guide structure 122 with a smaller guide height. The cooperation of the first and second guide structures ensures that the flexible-edge photovoltaic module enters the receiving part. At the same time, the first guide height h2 of the first guide structure 122 does not need to be set very large, which is conducive to arranging a larger number of supporting units and improving the storage capacity of the storage device.

[0072] In some embodiments, the receiving portion includes a first receiving groove 119 and a second receiving groove 111; the first receiving groove 119 and the second receiving groove 111 are respectively provided with openings; the opening directions of the openings of the two receiving grooves are arranged opposite to each other, and the first receiving groove 119 and the second receiving groove 111 constitute a receiving space for accommodating a flexible-edge photovoltaic module.

[0073] The openings of the two receiving slots face each other, so that the internal space of the first receiving slot 119 is open to the second receiving slot 111 and the internal space of the second receiving slot 111 is open to the first receiving slot 119, ensuring that the two receiving slots can form the aforementioned receiving space.

[0074] like Figure 12As shown, the first receiving groove 119 includes a first side plate 1191 and a second side plate 1192 arranged at intervals, and a bottom plate connected to the first side plate 1191 and the second side plate 1192 respectively; the structure of the second receiving groove 111 is the same as that of the first receiving groove 119, also including a first side plate 1191 and a second side plate 1192 arranged at intervals, and a bottom plate connected to the first side plate 1191 and the second side plate 1192 respectively. The distance between the first side plate 1191 and the second side plate 1192 constitutes a first receiving height.

[0075] The first and second side plates in each receiving slot can be set to be parallel to each other; in each bearing unit, the distance between the first side plate 1191 and the second side plate 1192 of the first receiving slot 119 is the same as the distance between the first side plate 1191 and the second side plate 1192 of the second receiving slot 111.

[0076] The support rods include a first support rod 118 and a second support rod 116; there are multiple first support rods 118, and each first support rod 118 is spaced apart along the direction in which the conveying mechanism conveys the flexible-edge photovoltaic module; there are multiple second support rods 116, and each second support rod 116 is spaced apart along the direction in which the conveying mechanism conveys the flexible-edge photovoltaic module; the first support rod 118 is connected to the first receiving groove 119; and the second support rod 116 is connected to the second receiving groove 111.

[0077] Specifically, each first receiving slot 119 is connected to a plurality of first support rods 118, and all the first support rods 118 connected to the same first receiving slot 119 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. Each second receiving slot 111 is connected to a plurality of second support rods 116, and all the second support rods 116 connected to the same second receiving slot 111 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0078] When multiple support units are configured, the first receiving slots 119 of each support unit are arranged vertically, and correspondingly, the first support rods 118 that cooperate with each first receiving slot 119 are also arranged vertically; furthermore, all the first support rods 118 are preferably arranged in a rectangular array. When multiple support units are configured, the second receiving slots 111 of each support unit are arranged vertically, and correspondingly, the second support rods 116 that cooperate with each second receiving slot 111 are also arranged vertically; furthermore, all the second support rods 116 are preferably arranged in a rectangular array.

[0079] The feeding end of the first receiving groove 119 and the feeding end of the second receiving groove 111 constitute the loading end of the receiving part; the feeding ends of the first receiving groove 119 and the second receiving groove 111 are respectively provided with a first guide structure 122. Figure 12As shown, the first guide structure 122 includes a first guide plate 1221 and a second guide plate 1223; the first guide plate 1221 is disposed on the first side plate 1191 of the receiving groove, and the second guide plate 1223 is disposed on the second side plate 1192 of the receiving groove; the distance between the first guide plate 1221 and the second guide plate 1223 gradually increases in the direction away from the receiving groove, wherein the maximum distance between the first guide plate 1221 and the second guide plate 1223 constitutes the first guide height h2.

[0080] The first guide structure 122 also includes a guide base plate 1222; the guide base plate 1222 is connected to the first guide plate 1221, the second guide plate 1223 and the base plate of the receiving groove respectively, and the guide base plate 1222 gradually moves away from the opening of the receiving groove from one end fixedly connected to the base plate to the other end (the "other end" is opposite to the end of the guide base plate 1222 that is fixedly connected to the base plate).

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, the second guide structure 112 includes an upper guide plate 11223, a first side guide plate 11224, a lower guide plate 11225, and a second side guide plate 11222 connected in sequence. The four guide plates form a funnel mouth 1122. The maximum distance between the upper guide plate 11223 and the lower guide plate 11225 constitutes the second guide height h1.

[0082] Furthermore, the second guide structure 112 also includes a rectangular guide cylinder 1121; the smaller end of the flared mouth 1122 is fixed at the end of the guide cylinder 1121.

[0083] The storage device also includes a photoelectric sensor for detecting whether there is incoming material being conveyed to the carrying surface of the conveying mechanism. The lower guide plate 11225 in the second guide structure 112 has a notch 11221 for avoiding the detection light emitted by the photoelectric sensor.

[0084] In the storage device provided in this embodiment, the second guide structure 112 avoids interfering with the detection light emitted by the photoelectric sensor by setting a notch 11221, so that the photoelectric sensor does not need to be installed in a position far away from the second guide structure 112, making the entire storage device structure more compact and reducing its volume.

[0085] The second guide structure 112 and the photoelectric sensor are respectively mounted on the bracket 113. The bracket 113 is arranged at the feed end of the conveying mechanism.

[0086] The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt 101 installed on the base frame 102 and a connecting frame 103 connected to the base frame 102; a plurality of rollers 105 arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 101 are installed on the connecting frame 103.

[0087] A crash barrier 104 is installed at the end of the connecting frame 103 facing the feed end of the conveyor belt 101. The crash barrier 104 is used to guide the soft-edge photovoltaic modules to the roller 105 installed on the connecting frame 103. The crash barrier 104 is inclined and its height gradually increases along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 101.

[0088] In the conveying mechanism, the conveyor belt 101 is used to support and convey the glass body of the flexible-edge photovoltaic module; the roller 105 is used to support the flexible edge of the flexible-edge photovoltaic module. There are multiple connecting frames 103, which are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 101.

[0089] The frame structure also includes a first carrier plate 106 and a second carrier plate 115; one end of a first support rod 118 is connected to the first carrier plate 106; the first support rod 118 is provided with the aforementioned first receiving groove 119; one end of a second support rod 116 is connected to the second carrier plate 115; the second support rod 116 is provided with the aforementioned second receiving groove 111.

[0090] Furthermore, the aforementioned carrier structure also includes a support plate 117, which is disposed on the first support rod 118; the first receiving groove 119 is located between the first carrier plate 106 and the support plate 117.

[0091] When using the storage device provided in this embodiment, the end of the glass body of the flexible-edge photovoltaic module without a flexible edge enters the second receiving groove 111. When the carrier structure rises, the second receiving groove 111 directly provides an upward driving force to the glass body. Correspondingly, one side of the flexible edge of the flexible-edge photovoltaic module enters the first receiving groove 119. However, the flexible edge is limited by its own flexibility and cannot withstand the upward driving force provided by the first receiving groove 119. In this embodiment, a support plate 117 is added to support the lower surface of the glass body, ensuring that the carrier structure can support the flexible-edge photovoltaic module and rise together when it rises.

[0092] The pallet 117 includes an upper pallet and a lower pallet. The upper pallet is fixed above all the first support rods 118 connected to the same first receiving groove 119, and the lower pallet is fixed below all the first support rods 118 connected to the same first receiving groove 119. The two ends of the upper pallet along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the lower pallet along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, forming a cavity to accommodate all the first support rods 118 connected to the same first receiving groove 119.

[0093] The conveying mechanism is located between the first receiving groove 119 and the second receiving groove 111. The conveyor belt 101 of the conveying mechanism is located between the pallet 117 and the second receiving groove 111; the pallet 117 is located between the conveyor belt 101 and the roller 105 of the conveying mechanism; the first support rod 118 connected to the pallet 117 is located between two adjacent connecting frames 103.

[0094] In the carrier structure, a first carrier plate 106 is fixedly connected to a first assembly plate 121, and a second carrier plate 115 is fixedly connected to a second assembly plate 114. Vertical guide rails are provided on both sides of the frame 110, and a slider capable of sliding up and down is mounted on each vertical guide rail. The first assembly plate 121 is fixedly connected to the slider on one side of the vertical guide rail of the frame 110, and the second assembly plate 114 is fixedly connected to the slider on the other side of the vertical guide rail of the frame 110. A lifting drive assembly is used to drive the first assembly plate 121 and the second assembly plate 114 to rise or fall simultaneously at the same speed.

[0095] The aforementioned frame 110 is preferably configured as a gantry frame.

[0096] The lifting drive assembly includes a motor 108 mounted above the frame 110. The motor 108 is connected to a reducer 107, which drives the drive shaft 109 to rotate. The drive shaft 109 is rotatably mounted above the frame 110, and gears are fixed at both ends of the drive shaft 109. The gears mesh with a chain, and the chain is fixedly connected to the slider. During operation, the motor 108 rotates the drive shaft 109 through the reducer 107. The drive shaft 109 simultaneously drives the two sliders to rise or fall through the gears and chain at both ends, ensuring that the first carrier plate 106 and the second carrier plate 115 can rise or fall at the same speed simultaneously.

[0097] In the aforementioned storage device, the base frame 102, frame 110, and bracket 113 can be connected as one unit; or the base frame 102, frame 110, and bracket 113 can be separated from each other and directly fixed to the ground on site, thereby improving the installation flexibility of the storage device.

[0098] Furthermore, the aforementioned storage device is also equipped with a mesh fence 120. The gantry 110, conveying mechanism, support 113, and second guide structure 112 are all located within the fence 120 to prevent other equipment or personnel on site from coming into contact with the storage device and causing danger. An opening is provided in the fence 120 at a position corresponding to the second guide structure 112 to ensure that the flexible-edge photovoltaic modules can enter the second guide structure 112; an opening is also provided in the fence 120 at a position corresponding to the output end of the conveyor belt 101, such as... Figure 15 As shown, ensure that the soft-edge photovoltaic modules can output outside fence 11.
