Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention relates to an automatic conveyor belt machine for the production of BRPV power generation building materials and its operating method. Background technology:

[0002] BRPV, or Building Integrated Photovoltaics, is a technology that integrates solar power generation products into buildings. BRPV differs from the simple form of attaching a photovoltaic system to a building; it can be divided into two main categories: one is the combination of a photovoltaic array with a building, and the other is the integration of a photovoltaic array with a building, such as photovoltaic tile roofs, photovoltaic curtain walls, and photovoltaic skylights. Among these two methods, the combination of a photovoltaic array with a building is a common form, especially the integration with a building roof.

[0003] In the process of integrating photovoltaic arrays with buildings, BRPV photovoltaic building materials are an indispensable component. During the production of photovoltaic building materials, conductive tape needs to be pasted between the solar cells. Generally, conductive tape is pasted manually or by a single tape machine. Errors in the pasting position lead to unstable pasting quality, low overall production efficiency, and excessively high production costs. Summary of the Invention:

[0004] This invention provides an automatic tape machine and its operating method for producing BRPV power generation building materials. The structure and method are rationally designed, based on the cooperative action of multiple functional components, replacing the existing manual operation and single-machine operation modes. By employing multiple conductive tape machines working collaboratively, conductive tape can be automatically and orderly applied at high speed, improving production quality and efficiency. It balances work efficiency and application accuracy, ensuring stable application quality, reducing errors in application position, lowering the probability of defective products and production costs, and solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] An automatic tape conveyor for the production of BRPV power generation building materials includes:

[0007] A support assembly, comprising a control cabinet and an equipment bracket connected together, for providing support;

[0008] A transmission assembly, comprising a movable support, a guide rail, and a motor arranged in a cooperating manner, to drive the power generation building materials to move horizontally, wherein the guide rail is arranged above the control cabinet;

[0009] The limiting assembly includes a limiter and a photosensitive device installed below the guide rail above the bracket. The limiter is used to limit the horizontal movement range of the tape machine head to prevent collisions. The photosensitive device is used to detect whether there are power-generating building materials on the conductive tape machine. A tape roll, pressure block, tape gripper, and cutter are installed at the tape machine head.

[0010] A helical gear guide rail is provided on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and a sliding guide rail is provided on the side of the guide rail. The gear of the motor meshes with the helical gear on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and the movable bracket contacts the sliding guide rail to move horizontally.

[0011] The pressure block includes a first pressure block and a second pressure block for positioning the power generation building material. Both the first pressure block and the second pressure block can move up and down.

[0012] The equipment support is a double-layer support, with both ends fixedly connected to the control cabinet.

[0013] The number of limiters is multiple, and they are evenly arranged below the guide rail.

[0014] The tape gripper is positioned parallel to the cutting scissors.

[0015] A method for operating an automatic conveyor belt machine for producing BRPV power generation building materials, the method comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1, Start the conductive tape machine to put the transmission component and limit component into working state and ensure that the stop bar is in a vertical state;

[0017] S2, the power generation building material is placed on the conductive tape machine, and the photosensitive device of the limit component detects the position signal of the power generation building material;

[0018] S3, when the photosensitive device detects the position signal of the power generation building material, the control cabinet issues an instruction for the conductive tape machine number and the quantity of conductive tape, where n is the conductive tape machine number and a is the quantity of conductive tape to be applied.

[0019] S4, the two heads of the conductive tape machine n start pasting the a-th conductive tape in the nth column and the (n+3)th column respectively. After pasting is completed, the stop bar rotates to the horizontal position, and the conveyor belt of the conveyor component drives the power generation building material to move a certain distance.

[0020] S5, determine the relationship between the number of conductive tapes that have been applied and the total number of conductive tapes to determine the number of cycles; when the number of conductive tapes that have been applied is not less than the total number of conductive tapes, determine the relative relationship between the nth conductive tape machine and the total number of conductive tape machines.

[0021] S6, when the conductive tape machine n is the same as the total number of conductive tape machines, the power generation building material is conveyed to the next process; when the conductive tape machine n is different from the total number of conductive tape machines, the conductive tape machine n conveys the power generation building material to the top of the conveyor belt of the conductive tape machine n+1, and the photosensitive device of the limit component detects the position signal of the power generation building material again, causing the conductive tape machine n+1 to move to perform conductive tape pasting;

[0022] S7. Repeat the above steps. After all the conductive tape machines participate in the application of conductive tape, the conductive tape application process is completed, and the power generation building materials are transferred to the next process.

[0023] The number of cycles is defined as c, and its relative relationship with the number of conductive tapes pasted, a, is as follows:

[0024] a = c + 1

[0025] This ensures that all conductive tape machines can work together to complete the bonding process.

[0026] The control cabinet is directly electrically connected to the conductive tape machine so that the conductive tape machine operates according to the control signals issued by the control cabinet.

[0027] This invention employs the aforementioned structure, using a support assembly comprised of a connected control cabinet and equipment bracket to stably support the power-generating building materials, providing a foundation for applying conductive tape. Horizontal movement is achieved through a transmission assembly consisting of a movable bracket, guide rail, and motor. Limiters restrict the horizontal movement range of the tape machine head to prevent collisions and improve equipment stability. First and second pressure blocks, arranged in a coordinated manner, position the power-generating building materials. A photosensitive device determines the position signal of the power-generating building materials, providing a trigger signal for starting the conductive tape machine. The control cabinet enables multiple conductive tape machines to work collaboratively, accelerating the efficiency of conductive tape application. This invention offers advantages such as precision, efficiency, safety, and practicality. Attached image description:

Detailed implementation method:

[0034] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the invention will be described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic tape conveyor for producing BRPV power generation building materials includes:

[0036] A support assembly, comprising a control cabinet and an equipment bracket connected together, for providing support;

[0037] A transmission assembly, comprising a movable support, a guide rail, and a motor arranged in a cooperating manner, to drive the power generation building materials to move horizontally, wherein the guide rail is arranged above the control cabinet;

[0038] The limiting assembly includes a limiter and a photosensitive device installed below the guide rail above the bracket. The limiter is used to limit the horizontal movement range of the tape machine head to prevent collisions. The photosensitive device is used to detect whether there are power-generating building materials on the conductive tape machine. A tape roll, pressure block, tape gripper, and cutter are installed at the tape machine head.

[0039] A helical gear guide rail is provided on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and a sliding guide rail is provided on the side of the guide rail. The gear of the motor meshes with the helical gear on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and the movable bracket contacts the sliding guide rail to move horizontally.

[0040] The pressure block includes a first pressure block and a second pressure block for positioning the power generation building material. Both the first pressure block and the second pressure block can move up and down.

[0041] The equipment support is a double-layer support, with both ends fixedly connected to the control cabinet.

[0042] The number of limiters is multiple, and they are evenly arranged below the guide rail.

[0043] The tape gripper is positioned parallel to the cutting scissors.

[0044] A method for operating an automatic conveyor belt machine for producing BRPV power generation building materials, the method comprising the following steps:

[0045] S1, Start the conductive tape machine to put the transmission component and limit component into working state and ensure that the stop bar is in a vertical state;

[0046] S2, the power generation building material is placed on the conductive tape machine, and the photosensitive device of the limit component detects the position signal of the power generation building material;

[0047] S3, when the photosensitive device detects the position signal of the power generation building material, the control cabinet issues an instruction for the conductive tape machine number and the quantity of conductive tape, where n is the conductive tape machine number and a is the quantity of conductive tape to be applied.

[0048] S4, the two heads of the conductive tape machine n start pasting the a-th conductive tape in the nth column and the (n+3)th column respectively. After pasting is completed, the stop bar rotates to the horizontal position, and the conveyor belt of the conveyor component drives the power generation building material to move a certain distance.

[0049] S5, determine the relationship between the number of conductive tapes that have been applied and the total number of conductive tapes to determine the number of cycles; when the number of conductive tapes that have been applied is not less than the total number of conductive tapes, determine the relative relationship between the nth conductive tape machine and the total number of conductive tape machines.

[0050] S6, when the conductive tape machine n is the same as the total number of conductive tape machines, the power generation building material is conveyed to the next process; when the conductive tape machine n is different from the total number of conductive tape machines, the conductive tape machine n conveys the power generation building material to the top of the conveyor belt of the conductive tape machine n+1, and the photosensitive device of the limit component detects the position signal of the power generation building material again, causing the conductive tape machine n+1 to move to perform conductive tape pasting;

[0051] S7. Repeat the above steps. After all the conductive tape machines participate in the application of conductive tape, the conductive tape application process is completed, and the power generation building materials are transferred to the next process.

[0052] The number of cycles is defined as c, and its relative relationship with the number of conductive tapes pasted, a, is as follows:

[0053] a = c + 1

[0054] This ensures that all conductive tape machines can work together to complete the bonding process.

[0055] The control cabinet is directly electrically connected to the conductive tape machine so that the conductive tape machine operates according to the control signals issued by the control cabinet.

[0056] The working principle of the automatic tape machine and its operation method for producing BRPV power generation building materials in this invention embodiment is as follows: Based on the mutual cooperation of multiple functional components, it replaces the existing manual operation and single tape machine operation mode. By using multiple conductive tape machines to work together, conductive tape can be automatically and orderly pasted at high speed, improving production quality and efficiency. It balances work efficiency and pasting accuracy, ensures stable pasting quality, reduces errors in pasting position, and lowers the probability of defective products and production costs. At the same time, the collaborative operation of multiple conductive tape machines can also ensure the accuracy and smoothness of conductive tape pasting.

[0057] Manual application of conductive tape involves a large workload, and the application position can have significant errors, resulting in inconsistent application quality. Furthermore, a single conductive tape machine can lead to low overall production efficiency. In the event of defective products, subsequent remedial and reprocessing operations incur excessive costs.

[0058] Therefore, in this application, a control cabinet is used to control the actions of multiple conductive tape machines, so that the multiple conductive tape machines work together to automatically and orderly apply conductive tape.

[0059] In the overall solution, the automatic tape conveyor equipment mainly includes a support assembly, which includes a control cabinet 1 and an equipment bracket 2 connected together to provide support; a transmission assembly, which includes a movable bracket 3, a guide rail 4, and a motor 5 that are configured to drive the power generation building materials to move horizontally, with the guide rail 4 positioned above the control cabinet 1; a limiting assembly, which includes a limiter 6 and a photosensitive device installed above the bracket and below the guide rail 4, with the limiter 6 used to limit the horizontal movement range of the tape conveyor head to prevent collisions; and the photosensitive device used to detect whether there are power generation building materials on the conductive tape conveyor. A tape roll, a pressure block, a tape gripper 7, and a cutter 10 are installed at the tape conveyor head.

[0060] The structure of the control cabinet 1 and the equipment bracket 2 being fixedly connected together forms the overall foundation, which integrates and connects all functional components. In this application, the equipment bracket 2 is a double-layer bracket, with its two ends fixedly connected to the control cabinet 1. The stable structure can provide a foundation for the implementation of the automatic conductive tape application process.

[0061] For the transmission assembly, a helical gear guide rail is provided on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and a sliding guide rail is provided on the side of the guide rail. The gear of the motor meshes with the helical gear on the horizontal plane of the guide rail, and the moving bracket contacts the sliding guide rail to move horizontally.

[0062] Limit switches are also an important component of this application. Generally, limit switches are electrically connected to the controller in the control cabinet and convert the relative distance signal into a current signal for identification, so as to effectively avoid collisions. There are multiple limit switches, which are evenly arranged under the guide rail to make the function of the limit switches more reliable.

[0063] The tape roll, first pressure block 8, and second pressure block 9 are installed on the head of the tape machine, which can move up and down to position the power generation building materials; at the same time, the tape gripper 7 and the cutter 10 arranged in parallel are used to cut and paste the tape roll.

[0064] In actual use, the power generation building material moves to the positioning component and stops under the action of the transmission component. The tape gripper 7 pulls out the tape, the first pressure block 8 presses down to stick the tape to the battery cell, and at the same time the cutter 10 cuts the tape short, completing one application.

[0065] After one application is completed, the two tape machine heads move horizontally left and right along the sliding guide rail, repeating the above actions to complete the application of the first row of battery cells. Once the first row is completed, the transmission component moves forward a certain distance, and the tape machine continues to apply tape. When applying the second row, the second pressure block will simultaneously press down the tape of the first row to ensure the quality of the application. The tape roll is installed on the moving bracket 3, and the tape roll will rotate as the tape gripper pulls out the tape.

[0066] It should be noted that the number of loops is defined as c, and its relative relationship with the number of conductive tapes applied, a, is a = c + 1, so that all the conductive tape machines can cooperate with each other to complete the application process.

[0067] One innovation of this application is that the control cabinet is directly electrically connected to each conductive tape machine, so that the conductive tape machine can act according to the control signals issued by the control cabinet, ensuring that each conductive tape machine can respond accurately and quickly to work.

[0068] In summary, the automatic tape machine and its operating method for producing BRPV power generation building materials in this embodiment of the invention are based on the synergistic effect of multiple functional components, replacing the existing manual operation and single tape machine operation mode. By using multiple conductive tape machines to work together, conductive tape can be automatically and orderly pasted at high speed, improving production quality and efficiency. It balances work efficiency and pasting accuracy, ensures stable pasting quality, reduces errors in pasting position, and lowers the probability of defective products and production costs. At the same time, the collaborative operation of multiple conductive tape machines can also ensure the accuracy and smoothness of conductive tape pasting.

[0069] The above specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any alternative improvements or modifications made to the embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] Any aspects of this invention not described in detail are well-known to those skilled in the art.
