Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic panel production and processing technology, specifically to a glue coating machine for photovoltaic panel production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel is a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy; it is also known as a solar panel or solar cell. It consists of multiple solar cells that convert the energy of light into electrical energy. The main principle of a PV panel is the photoelectric effect. When sunlight shines on a PV panel, photons interact with the panel's material, converting light energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy can be used directly for power generation or stored for later use. PV panels are typically made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, which have a special band structure that allows them to convert the energy of photons into the energy of electrons. When a photon strikes a PV panel, it excites an electron, generating an electric current. Multiple solar cells connected in series can provide higher voltage and power output. PV panels are widely used in homes, businesses, and industries for power generation, electricity supply, and lighting. It is a clean and renewable energy technology that can reduce dependence on traditional energy sources, reduce environmental pollution, and contribute to sustainable development.

[0003] After the photovoltaic panels are manufactured, frames need to be installed around their four edges to protect them.

[0004] Traditional photovoltaic panel installation frames typically involve applying adhesive to the inside of the frame and then pressing the sides of the photovoltaic panel into the frame. Because the inside of the frame is covered with a large amount of adhesive, the adhesive can easily overflow onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel during the pressing and installation process, affecting the application of the photovoltaic panel.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a coating machine for photovoltaic panel production equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems in the background art, the present invention provides a glue coating machine for photovoltaic panel production equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A glue applicator for photovoltaic panel production equipment includes a glue box and a glue dispensing mechanism disposed in the middle of the inner side of the glue box. A glue dispensing hose is connected to the glue outlet at the bottom of the glue box, and a glue dispensing needle is connected to the end of the glue dispensing hose. Ear plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the glue box. The glue dispensing needle is located in the middle of the upper end of the two sets of ear plates. The glue dispensing mechanism can dispense glue from the glue box and then transport it to the glue dispensing needle through the glue dispensing hose for glue application.

[0009] An adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom center of the adhesive box. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate, which is fixedly installed on the upper inner side of the two sets of ear plates. An adjustment groove is provided in the inner center of the mounting plate, and a slider is slidably installed in the inner center of the adjustment groove. The adhesive dispensing needle is threadedly installed in the inner center of the slider. The slider slides horizontally in the inner center of the adjustment groove, thereby adjusting the position of the adhesive dispensing needle horizontally, so as to accurately apply adhesive to the side end of the photovoltaic panel or the inner side of the frame.

[0010] The bottom center of the adhesive box is provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes two sets of limiting blocks and two sets of baffles. The two sets of limiting blocks are located on both sides of the bottom of the adjusting mechanism, and the baffles are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the limiting blocks. The photovoltaic panel can be limited by the two sets of limiting blocks and the two sets of baffles.

[0011] A first adjusting rod is provided at the middle of the side end of the slider. The first adjusting rod passes through the ear plate and extends out. The end of the first adjusting rod is rotatably installed at the middle of the side end of the slider. By rotating the first adjusting rod, the slider can be pushed, thereby adjusting the position of the dispensing needle in the horizontal direction.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, limit sliders are fixedly installed at the middle of both ends of the slider, and limit grooves are provided at both ends of the inner side of the adjustment groove. The limit slider slides horizontally in the middle of the inner side of the limit groove, and the limit groove limits the limit slider, so that the slider can drive the dispensing needle to slide stably in the horizontal direction.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, multiple sets of rollers are rotatably installed on the middle of the side end of the limiting block. The multiple sets of rollers are located at the bottom end of the baffle and are evenly distributed. The multiple sets of rollers are located on both sides of the bottom end of the adjusting groove. The multiple sets of rollers provide convenience for the movement of the glue applicator.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, a mounting groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the ear plate, and the limiting block is slidably installed in the middle of the inner side of the mounting groove.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, a second adjusting rod is provided on both sides of the back of the limiting block. The end of the second adjusting rod passes through the ear plate and is rotatably connected to the back of the limiting block. The position of the limiting block can be adjusted horizontally by the second adjusting rod, so that the two sets of limiting blocks can clamp and limit the side end of the photovoltaic panel at both ends.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the outer surface of the roller is covered with a soft pad to prevent the roller from causing scratches or other damage to the outer surface of the photovoltaic panel.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the rotating ends of both the first and second adjusting rods are located on the outer side of the ear plate.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, the top center of the glue box is provided with a feed port and is fitted with a sealing cap, and an inclined handle is fixedly installed at the center of the side end of the glue box.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. In this invention, an adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom center of the glue box. By rotating the first adjustment rod, the slider is pushed to slide horizontally in the middle of the inner side of the adjustment groove, thereby adjusting the position of the glue dispensing needle horizontally. This allows the glue dispensing nozzle of the glue dispensing needle to move horizontally, making it convenient for workers to apply glue to half of the side end of the photovoltaic panel or half of the inside of the frame using a glue applicator. This avoids glue overflowing onto the outer surface of the photovoltaic panel when the side end of the photovoltaic panel is pressed into the frame, which would affect the photovoltaic panel.

[0021] 2. In this invention, by setting limit mechanisms on both sides of the bottom end of the adjustment mechanism, the two sets of limit blocks can clamp and limit the side end of the photovoltaic panel to be coated, thereby improving the accuracy of coating when the coating machine is pulled to move horizontally.

[0022] 3. In this invention, by threading the glue dispensing needle and the slider, the length of the glue dispensing needle can be adjusted so that the end of the glue dispensing needle is close to the inner side of the frame to be glued, thereby improving the accuracy of applying glue to the inside of the frame.

[0028] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0029] When it is necessary to apply glue to the side end or the inner side of the frame of the photovoltaic panel, the distance between the two sets of limiting blocks 13 is first adjusted according to the thickness of the side end of the photovoltaic panel, so that the two sets of limiting blocks 13 can clamp and limit the side end of the photovoltaic panel at both ends. At the same time, by setting multiple sets of rollers 14 on the clamping surface of the limiting blocks 13, it is convenient for the glue applicator to slide horizontally on the side end of the photovoltaic panel.

[0030] The photovoltaic panel is clamped and positioned by two sets of limiting blocks 13 and two sets of baffles 15. Then, by rotating the first adjusting rod 6, the slider 5 is pushed to slide horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the dispensing needle 4 horizontally. When the dispensing needle 4 moves to the middle of the half of the photovoltaic panel side, the glue is dispensed from the glue box 1 by the dispensing mechanism. Then, the operator holds the handle 2 and drives the glue applicator to slide horizontally, so that the glue applicator can perform stable glue application on the middle of the half of the photovoltaic panel side. Through the above method, the middle of the half inside the frame can also be accurately glued, thereby avoiding glue overflowing onto the outer surface of the photovoltaic panel when the side of the photovoltaic panel is pressed into the frame, which would affect the photovoltaic panel.

[0031] Furthermore, by rotating the dispensing needle 4, the distance between the dispensing needle 4 and the side of the photovoltaic panel can be adjusted, so that the outlet of the dispensing needle 4 can be close to the side of the photovoltaic panel, further improving the accuracy of the dispensing work.

[0032] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, a glue applicator for photovoltaic panel production equipment in this embodiment includes a glue box 1 and a glue dispensing mechanism provided in the middle of the inner side of the glue box 1. At the same time, an inclined handle 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the side end of the glue box 1, so as to facilitate the operator to hold and use the glue applicator.

[0033] The glue outlet at the bottom of the glue box 1 is connected to a glue dispensing hose 3, and the end of the glue dispensing hose 3 is connected to a glue dispensing needle 4. The glue dispensing mechanism dispenses the glue inside the glue box 1, and then the glue is delivered to the glue dispensing needle 4 through the glue dispensing hose 3 for dispensing.

[0034] Ear plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the glue box 1. The glue dispensing needle 4 is located in the middle of the upper part of the two sets of ear plates 11. The two sets of ear plates 11 provide stable support for the glue box 1.

[0035] An adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom center of the glue box 1. The adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate 8, which is fixedly installed on the upper inner side of the two sets of ear plates 11. An adjustment groove 9 is provided in the inner center of the mounting plate 8. A slider 5 is slidably installed in the inner center of the adjustment groove 9. The glue dispensing needle 4 is threadedly installed in the inner center of the slider 5. At the same time, a first adjustment rod 6 is provided in the middle of the side end of the slider 5. The first adjustment rod 6 passes through the ear plate 11 and extends out. The end of the first adjustment rod 6 is rotatably installed in the middle of the side end of the slider 5.

[0036] Specifically, by rotating the first adjusting rod 6, the slider 5 is pushed to slide horizontally in the middle of the inner side of the adjusting groove 9, thereby adjusting the position of the dispensing needle 4 horizontally, so that the dispensing port of the dispensing needle 4 can be moved to the middle of the side end of the photovoltaic panel or the middle of the inner side of the frame to be coated for dispensing and coating.

[0037] In addition, by fixing limit sliders 7 at the middle of both ends of the slider 5, and setting limit grooves 10 at both ends of the inner side of the adjusting groove 9, the limit sliders 7 slide horizontally in the middle of the inner side of the limit grooves 10.

[0038] The sliding trajectory of the limiting slide bar 7 is limited by the limiting slide groove 10, so that the slider 5 slides stably in the horizontal direction in the adjustment groove 9, avoiding tilting or offset when adjusting the position of the glue dispensing needle 4, which would affect the accuracy of applying glue to the photovoltaic panel and the frame.

[0039] In some examples, a feed inlet is provided at the top center of the glue box 1, which makes it convenient for staff to add glue to the glue box 1. A sealing cap is provided at the feed inlet to cover and seal the feed inlet, preventing glue from leaking from the feed inlet during the use of the glue applicator. At the same time, it can also prevent external dust from entering the glue box 1 and contaminating the glue.

[0040] The working principle of this invention is:

[0041] When it is necessary to apply glue to the side of the photovoltaic panel or the inside of the frame, first insert the side of the photovoltaic panel or the frame into the inside of the two sets of ear plates 11. At this time, by rotating the first adjusting rod 6, the glue dispensing position of the glue dispensing needle 4 can be adjusted horizontally, so that the staff can accurately apply glue to the side of the photovoltaic panel or the inside of the frame. During the glue application process, glue is applied to the middle half of the side of the photovoltaic panel and the middle half of the inside of the frame, so as to avoid the glue overflowing onto the surface of the photovoltaic panel due to pressure when the side of the photovoltaic panel is installed into the frame.

[0042] Example 2: Refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, based on Example 1, a coating machine for photovoltaic panel production equipment further includes the following structure:

[0043] A limiting mechanism is provided at the bottom center of the glue box 1, including two sets of limiting blocks 13 and two sets of baffles 15. The two sets of limiting blocks 13 are located on both sides of the bottom of the adjustment mechanism, and the baffles 15 are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the limiting blocks 13. The two sets of limiting blocks 13 can clamp and limit the photovoltaic panel or frame to be coated with glue at both ends, thereby maintaining the stability of the photovoltaic panel or frame when applying glue and avoiding affecting the accuracy of glue dispensing. At the same time, the two sets of baffles 15 can block and limit the top sides of the photovoltaic panel or frame to be coated with glue, preventing the photovoltaic panel or frame from extending into the inner side of the two sets of ear plates 11 and contacting the glue dispensing needle 4, which would cause damage to the glue dispensing needle 4.

[0044] Multiple sets of rollers 14 are rotatably installed on the middle of the side end of the limiting block 13. The multiple sets of rollers 14 are located at the bottom end of the baffle 15 and are evenly distributed. The multiple sets of rollers 14 are located on both sides of the bottom end of the adjusting groove 9. The multiple sets of rollers 14 can clamp the photovoltaic panel or frame to be coated with glue at both ends. At the same time, the rotation of the rollers 14 makes it convenient for the staff to pull the glue applicator, so that the glue applicator can evenly slide and apply glue to the side end of the photovoltaic panel or the inner side of the frame, thereby improving the convenience and smoothness of the glue application work. Meanwhile, the outer surface of the rollers 14 is covered with soft pads to prevent the rollers 14 from causing scratches or other damage to the outer surface of the photovoltaic panel during the rolling process.

[0045] A mounting groove 12 is provided on one side of the bottom of the ear plate 11. The limiting block 13 is slidably installed in the middle of the inner side of the mounting groove 12. A second adjusting rod 16 is provided on both sides of the back of the limiting block 13. The end of the second adjusting rod 16 passes through the ear plate 11 and is rotatably connected to the back of the limiting block 13.

[0046] By rotating the two sets of second adjusting rods 16, the limiting block 13 moves towards the inner center of the two sets of ear plates 11, thereby shortening or increasing the distance between the two sets of limiting blocks 13. This allows for clamping and limiting of photovoltaic panels or frames of different thicknesses at both ends, thus improving the convenience of using the glue applicator.

[0047] The rotating ends of the first adjusting rod 6 and the second adjusting rod 16 are both located on the outer side of the ear plate 11, which makes it convenient for the staff to rotate them and adjust the horizontal position of the dispensing needle 4 or the limiting block 13 at any time.

[0048] The working principle of this invention is:

[0049] By providing two sets of second adjusting rods 16 on both sides of the back of the limiting block 13, the distance between the two sets of limiting blocks 13 can be adjusted by rotating the two sets of second adjusting rods 16, so that the two sets of limiting blocks 13 can clamp and limit the photovoltaic side to be coated, thereby maintaining the accuracy of coating.

[0050] Meanwhile, by setting multiple sets of rollers 14 on the clamping surface of the limiting block 13, when the worker holds the glue applicator to pull or push it, the rollers 14 on both sides can assist the sliding of the glue applicator. At the same time, the outer surface of the rollers 14 is wrapped with soft pads to prevent the rollers 14 from causing scratches or damage to the surface of the photovoltaic panel during the sliding process.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 The diagram shows a scenario of the invention in application. The glue applicator is inserted into the side of the photovoltaic panel to be glued, and the side of the photovoltaic panel is clamped and limited by the limiting mechanism. Then, by rotating the first adjusting rod 6, the position of the glue dispensing needle 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the glue dispensing port of the glue dispensing needle 4 to the middle position of half of the side of the photovoltaic panel.

[0052] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
