The movable receiving platform assembly 500 is fixed on the sliders 800 and further fixed on the first material pulling slide rail 300, thus limiting the movement of the movable receiving platform assembly 500 in the first direction.

[0081] A rack 700 is provided at the lower end of the first material pulling slide rail 300. The moving motor 900 meshes with the rack 700 through the moving wheel 130. In this way, the moving motor 900 moves the moving receiving platform assembly 500 on the first material pulling slide rail 300 by rotating the moving wheel 130 in the forward or reverse direction.

[0083] There can be three detection devices 600, which are set in different positions. The three movable receiving platform assemblies 500 can move to the position corresponding to any one of the detection devices 600.

[0084] When the pneumatic clamp 270 needs to hold the material, the first drive motor 220 causes the first pulling assembly 400 to move towards the pressing mechanism 290. When the first pulling assembly 400 moves to the front of the discharge end of the pressing mechanism 290, the first pulling assembly 400 will trigger a proximity switch, and the pneumatic clamp 270 will hold the material and move away from the pressing mechanism 290.

[0099] The clamping assembly formed by the lifting plate 360 ​​and the support plate 450 can move to the pressing mechanism 290 and clamp the material, causing the material to extend into the second material placement groove 430. When the second trigger on the moving base 320 triggers the sensor, the material pulled out from the pressing mechanism 290 by the clamping assembly reaches the specified length. The cutting mechanism 310 cuts the material, so that the cut-off material forms a separation strip.

[0100] To prevent the isolation strip from detaching from the second material placement groove 430, multiple air suction holes are also provided in the second material placement groove 430, so that the isolation strip can be better and more evenly fixed in the second material placement groove 430.

The upper clamping block 370 has two clamping protrusions 390, and only one of the clamping protrusions 390 is used at a time. When one clamping protrusion 390 is worn, the other clamping protrusion 390 can be switched by changing the assembly method.

[0105] The automatic cutting mechanism 310 for isolation blocks and isolation strips provided by this invention can simultaneously provide isolation blocks and isolation strips; and the two feeding devices are used alternately, so that isolation blocks and isolation strips can be provided without stopping the machine; compared with the prior art, the manual placement of isolation blocks improves production efficiency and solves safety hazards.

[0106] This invention provides a method for placing isolation blocks and isolation strips, comprising the following steps:

[0107] a: The first drive motor 220 moves the pneumatic clamp 270 to the front of the outlet end of the pressing mechanism 290, while a movable receiving platform assembly 500 moves to a designated position.

[0113] In an optional implementation, the following steps are also included:

[0114] x: The second drive device moves the clamping assembly to the front of the outlet end of the pressing mechanism 290, and the clamping assembly clamps the material;

[0115] y: The second drive device causes the clamping assembly to pull the material along the second material placement groove 430 to move to the preset position;

[0116] z: The cutting mechanism 310 cuts the material, and the cut-off material forms a separation strip. The clamping component releases the separation strip.

[0117] In step f, after the material grabbing mechanism 200 grabs the isolation strip and / or isolation block, it places the isolation strip and / or isolation block onto the photovoltaic module.

[0118] The automatic cutting machine for isolation blocks and isolation strips can cut isolation strips and isolation blocks simultaneously. The material gripping mechanism 200 can grip only isolation blocks or only isolation strips, or it can grip both isolation strips and blocks simultaneously, and place the isolation blocks and isolation strips onto the photovoltaic module in sequence.
