[0027] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved by the present invention more clearly understood, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this preferred embodiment provides an automatic loading and unloading device for a steel frame cleaning and coating production line for photovoltaic modules, including a hanging tool 1, an offline conveyor line 2 and a material moving mechanism.

[0029] The hanging fixture 1 is used to hang a plurality of steel frame workpieces 3 .

[0030] Specifically, the hanging tool 1 includes a main hanging plate 11, which is provided with several hanging holes 12, and each hanging hole 12 is hooked with a hanging rod 13, and the hanging rod 13 is provided with a sub-hanging plate 14, and the sub-hanging plate 14 is provided with several hooks 15. The hooks 15 are used to be inserted into the cavity of the steel frame workpiece 3 to realize the lifting of the steel frame workpiece 3.

[0031] The structure of the separable main hanging plate 11 and sub-hanging plates 14 here makes the hanging process of each steel frame workpiece 3 more flexible, and divides multiple steel frame workpieces 3 into multiple small units for easy access.

[0032] In particular, a limiting protrusion 131 is provided at the rod end of the suspension rod 13, and the suspension hole 12 is divided into a locking hole portion 121, a perforated portion 122 and a connecting groove 123 connecting the locking hole portion 121 and the perforated portion 122. The rod portion of the suspension rod 13 is inserted into the connecting groove 123, and the size of the limiting protrusion 131 is larger than the aperture of the locking hole portion 121 and smaller than the aperture of the perforated portion 122, thereby realizing the rapid separation and connection of the main hanging plate 11 and the sub-hanging plate 14.

[0033] Furthermore, the main hanging plate 11 is provided with a lifting ring 16 for easy lifting and a supporting edge 17 for easy support, which facilitates the transfer and fixation of the main hanging plate 11 and ensures reliable hanging.

[0034] The offline conveyor line 2 is used to store the hanging fixtures 1 and to feed the hanging fixtures 1 and the steel frame workpieces 3 in an orderly manner.

[0035] It should be noted that in order to avoid the overall weight of the hanging tool 1 after it is fully loaded with the steel frame workpiece 3, the steel frame workpiece 3 should be clamped after the hanging tool 1 is loaded on the offline conveyor line 2, so as to reduce the difficulty of manual operation.

[0036] Specifically, the offline conveyor line 2 includes a frame 21, on which two oppositely arranged supporting angle steels 22 are provided to form a slide for the movement of the steel frame workpiece 3. Each supporting angle steel 22 is provided with a horizontal slide rail 23. Both sides of the hanging tooling 1 are mounted on the horizontal slide rail 23. A material shifting assembly 24 is provided on the frame 21 and above the slide. The material shifting assembly 24 is used to shift the steel frame workpiece 3 along the horizontal slide rail 23, so that the hanging tooling 1 can be fed from one end of the offline conveyor line 2 to the other end.

[0037] Optionally, the material shifting assembly 24 includes a material shifting plate 241 located above the slide, and the material shifting plate 241 is driven by the slide module 242 to move back and forth along the feed direction of the steel frame workpiece 3. A number of material shifting cylinders 243 are provided on the material shifting plate 241, and the output end of the material shifting cylinder 243 faces downward and a material shifting block 244 is provided on the output end, and the material shifting block 244 is against the end edge of the steel frame workpiece 3.

[0038] In particular, a positioning assembly 25 is provided on the frame 21 and on the side of the slide. The positioning assembly 25 includes a blocking plate 251. The blocking plate 251 is driven by a positioning cylinder 252 to move back and forth relative to the hanging tooling 1. A pneumatic finger 253 is provided on the blocking plate 251. The pneumatic finger 253 is used to clamp the hanging tooling 1, specifically the suspension rod 13 in the hanging tooling 1, so that the hanging tooling 1 is fixed on the offline conveyor line 2, thereby facilitating the clamping of the steel frame workpiece 3 to the hanging tooling 1.

[0039] Furthermore, a limiting plate 26 is provided on the supporting angle steel 22 and located on the outside and above the horizontal slide rail 23 to limit the two side edges of the hanging tool 1 .

[0040] The material transfer mechanism is used to load the hanging tooling 1 onto the offline conveyor line 2 and transfer it from the offline conveyor line 2 to the cleaning and coating production line.

[0041] Specifically, the material transfer mechanism includes a loading robot located at one end of the offline conveyor line 2 and a unloading robot located at the other end of the offline conveyor line 2, thereby replacing manual loading and unloading and improving operational safety and efficiency.

[0042] The action flow is as follows: the empty hanging tooling 1 is grabbed from the hanging conveyor line to the offline conveyor line 2 by the unloading robot; the steel frame workpiece 3 is loaded onto the hanging tooling 1; the loading robot grabs the hanging tooling 1 from the offline conveyor line 2 to the cleaning and coating production line.

[0043] In summary, the above-mentioned automatic loading and unloading equipment for the steel frame cleaning and painting production line for photovoltaic modules is designed to address the problem that the existing steel frame cleaning and painting production line cannot operate efficiently and conveniently due to loading and unloading reasons. A special structure of hanging tooling and offline conveyor line is designed. In conjunction with the material transfer mechanism, the mechanized transfer of the hanging tooling to the offline conveyor line and the cleaning and painting production line is realized, which reduces the difficulty of manual operation, improves the degree of automation of equipment loading and unloading, and meets the requirements of steel frame product cleaning operations.

[0044] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and features of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting. Various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such modifications and variations are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
