Description

When the installation robot is working, it needs to grab the photovoltaic modules from the bracket and then transport them to the installation location. When the installation robot moves on the site, the photovoltaic modules and the bracket move with the installation robot to facilitate feeding to the installation robot. To avoid damage to the photovoltaic modules, the photovoltaic modules are placed vertically on the pallet, and the pallet is placed on the bracket.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention discloses a supporting mechanism, including a bracket 1 and an anti-tipping component 2, the anti-tipping component 2 is connected to the bracket 1, the bracket 1 is used to carry the photovoltaic component 100, when the photovoltaic component 100 is transported, the anti-tipping component 2 is used to prevent the photovoltaic component 100 from tipping to one side.

[0040] See also Figure 2The bracket 1 includes a base frame 11, a first column 12, a second column 13, a third column 14, and a fourth column 15. The first column 12, the second column 13, the third column 14, and the fourth column 15 are all fixedly connected to the base frame 11. Specifically, the second column 13 is adjacent to the first column 12, the third column 14 is adjacent to the second column 13, the fourth column 15 is adjacent to the third column 14, and the first column 12 is adjacent to the fourth column 15. In other words, the first column 12, the second column 13, the third column 14, and the fourth column 15 are respectively fixed to the four corners of the base frame 11, and the first column 12, the second column 13, the third column 14, and the fourth column 15 together with the base frame 11 form a space for storing the photovoltaic module 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The bracket 1 includes a first back cushion 161, a first upright frame 171, a second back cushion 162, and a second upright frame 172. The first upright frame 171 and the second upright frame 172 are both connected to the base frame 11. The first back cushion 161 is connected to the first upright frame 171, and the second back cushion 162 is connected to the second upright frame 172. The first back cushion 161 and the second back cushion 162 are both used to support the photovoltaic module 100. The support surfaces of the first back cushion 161 and the second back cushion 162 facing the photovoltaic module 100 are both inclined surfaces, so that the photovoltaic module 100 leans against the first back cushion 161 and the second back cushion 162. There is space between the first back cushion 161 and the second back cushion 162 for loading materials with a fork. The first upright frame 171 includes a third column 14, and the second upright frame 172 includes a fourth column 15.

[0042] See also Figure 2 The anti-tipping assembly 2 includes a first flexible binding member 21 , a second flexible binding member 22 , a first driving assembly 23 and a second driving assembly 24 .

[0043] See also Figure 3The first flexible binding member 21 includes a first fixed end 211 and a first movable end 212, and the second flexible binding member 22 includes a second fixed end 221 and a second movable end 222. The first fixed end 211 is connected to the first column 12 of the bracket 1, and the second fixed end 221 is connected to the second column 13 of the bracket 1. The first movable end 212 is connected to the first drive assembly 23, and the second movable end 222 is connected to the second drive assembly 24. The first drive assembly 23 and the second drive assembly 24 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the bracket 1. The first drive assembly 23 controls the first movable end 212 to move away from or close to the first fixed end 211, and the second drive assembly 24 controls the second movable end 222 to move away from or close to the second fixed end 221, so that the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 alternately bind the photovoltaic components 100 or loosen the binding of the photovoltaic components 100 to achieve automatic control. During the transportation of the photovoltaic component 100, the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 alternately tighten the photovoltaic component 100 to prevent the photovoltaic component 100 from tipping away from the first cushion 161 and the second cushion 162, and to prevent the photovoltaic component 100 from moving to the sides; during the installation of the photovoltaic component 100, the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 loosen the binding of the photovoltaic component 100 to facilitate the installation robot to grab the photovoltaic component 100.

[0044] In the present invention, staggered bundling means that the first flexible bundling member 21 and the second flexible bundling member 22 are staggered in a cross shape, the first flexible bundling member 21 is tilted from one side of the bracket 1 to bundle the other side of the photovoltaic component 100, and the second flexible bundling member 22 is tilted from the other side of the bracket 1 to bundle one side of the photovoltaic component 100, so that both sides of the photovoltaic component 100 are subjected to a tightening force. By tightening and limiting both sides of the photovoltaic component 100, not only can the photovoltaic component 100 be prevented from tipping over, but also the photovoltaic component 100 can be prevented from sliding left and right without the need for additional left and right limit devices. In the process of re-tightening after each relaxation, the photovoltaic component 100 can be re-limited to the middle position of the bracket 1, making it convenient for the mechanical arm of the installation robot to position the photovoltaic component 100.

[0045] The first flexible binding member 21 is a belt or a rope, and the second flexible binding member 22 is a belt or a rope. Both the belt or the rope can be bent, so as to facilitate tightening the photovoltaic assembly 100 in a tilted state.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The first flexible binding member 21 includes a first binding component 21a and a first elastic component 21b connected to the first binding component 21a, and the second flexible binding member 22 includes a second binding component 22a and a second elastic component 22b connected to the second binding component 22a. The first elastic component 21b includes a first fixed end 211, the first binding component 21a includes a first movable end 212, the second elastic component 22b includes a second fixed end 221, and the second binding component 22a includes a second movable end 222. That is, the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 are both split structures, one section is the binding component, and the other section is the elastic component. In the tightened state, the first elastic component 21b and the second elastic component 22b can provide sufficient tensile force, so that the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 can better tighten the photovoltaic component 100 and prevent the photovoltaic component 100 from tipping over or shaking. As the photovoltaic modules 100 are gradually removed by the installation robot, the first and second flexible binding members 21, 22 can still tighten the remaining number of photovoltaic modules 100. The more photovoltaic modules 100 remaining, the greater the deformation of the first and second elastic members 21b, 22b, and thus the greater tightening force provided to offset the greater tendency of the photovoltaic modules 100 to topple. In other words, the more photovoltaic modules 100 remaining, the greater the tightening force required, which is achieved by generating greater deformation of the first and second elastic members 21b, 22b. Figure 9 A diagram showing a state in which the anti-tilt assembly tightens the first number of photovoltaic assemblies. Figure 10 A diagram showing a state in which the anti-tilt assembly tightens the second number of photovoltaic assemblies. Figure 9 A state diagram showing the anti-tilt assembly tightening a third number of photovoltaic assemblies is shown, wherein the first number is 31, the second number is 20, and the third number is 1.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 may also be a whole retractable component, such as a whole retractable rubber rope, rubber band or other elastic parts.

[0048] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The supporting mechanism includes a first fixed seat 31 and a second fixed seat 32. The first fixed seat 31 is fixed to the first column 12, and the second fixed seat 32 is fixed to the second column 13. The first fixed end 211 of the first elastic component 21b is connected to the first fixed seat 31, and the second fixed end 221 of the second elastic component 22b is connected to the second fixed seat 32.

[0049] The first and second binding members 21a, 22a can be flexible bands such as rubber bands, nylon bands, and braided bands. These bands have a certain width to reduce the pressure on the photovoltaic module 100 and prevent damage to the photovoltaic module 100. The first and second binding members 21a, 22a can also be flexible ropes such as rubber ropes, nylon ropes, and braided ropes. Rubber bands and rubber ropes are stretchable, while nylon bands, braided bands, nylon ropes, and braided ropes are not stretchable.

[0050] The first elastic component 21b and the second elastic component 22b can both be tension springs, gas springs or other elastic parts.

[0051] In some embodiments, along the height direction H of the bracket 1, the first fixed end 211 and the first movable end 212 are at the same height, and the second fixed end 221 and the second movable end 222 are at the same height, so that the first flexible bundle 21 and the second flexible bundle 22 are in a horizontal state whether tightened or loosened, and do not tilt in the height direction H of the bracket 1, thereby preventing the first flexible bundle 21 and the second flexible bundle 22 from slipping on both sides of the photovoltaic module 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 Along the height direction H of the bracket 1 , there is a height difference between the fixed position of the first drive assembly 23 on the bracket 1 and the fixed position of the second drive assembly 24 on the bracket 1 , so that there is a height difference between the first movable end 212 and the second movable end 222 .

[0053] In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, along the height direction H of the bracket 1, the first drive assembly 23 is positioned higher than the second drive assembly 24, thereby preventing interference between the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22. Of course, in other embodiments, along the height direction H of the bracket 1, the second drive assembly 24 may be positioned higher than the first drive assembly 23.

[0054] See also Figure 3The anti-tipping assembly 2 further includes a first pulley 25 and a second pulley 26. The first pulley 25 and the second pulley 26 are both connected to opposite sides of the bracket 1. The first flexible binding member 21 passes around the first pulley 25, and the second flexible binding member 22 passes around the second pulley 26. Specifically, the first fixed end 211 is connected to the first column 12, the first pulley 25 is connected to the second column 13 via the first pulley seat 27, the second fixed end 221 is connected to the second column 13, and the second pulley 26 is connected to the first column 12 via the second pulley seat 28. This arrangement can increase the winding distance of the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22, so that the elastic component has a certain length and can provide a greater elastic force. Assuming that the first pulley 25 and the second pulley 26 are not provided, the first fixed end 211 of the first flexible bundle 21 is directly connected to the second column 13, and the second fixed end 221 of the second flexible bundle 22 is directly connected to the first column 12. The first flexible bundle 21 and the second flexible bundle 22 are staggered with each other, and the lengths of both are shortened. In order to prevent the elastic component from contacting and damaging the photovoltaic module 100, the length of the elastic component must be shortened, which results in a decrease in elastic force.

[0055] In some embodiments, along the height direction H of the bracket 1, the first pulley 25 at the fixed position of the bracket 1 is at the same height as the first drive assembly 23 at the fixed position of the bracket 1, and the second pulley 26 at the fixed position of the bracket 1 is at the same height as the second drive assembly 24 at the fixed position of the bracket 1, so that the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 are in a horizontal state when tightened or loosened.

[0056] The first drive assembly 23 controls the first movable end 212 to move between the first column 12 and the fourth column 15, and the second drive assembly 24 controls the second movable end 222 to move between the second column 13 and the third column 14. When the first movable end 212 is near the first column 12 and the second movable end 222 is near the second column 13, the anti-tipping assembly 2 is in a loose state. When the first movable end 212 moves to the fourth column 15 and the second movable end 222 moves to the third column 14, the anti-tipping assembly 2 is in a tight state.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 6The first drive assembly 23 includes a first motor 231, a first lead screw 232, a first slide rail 233, and a first slider 234. The first lead screw 232 is connected to the first motor 231. The two ends of the first slide rail 233 are respectively connected to the first column 12 and the fourth column 15. The first lead screw 232 is passed through the first slider 234 and is threadedly connected to the first slider 234. The first slider 234 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 233. The first movable end 212 of the first flexible binding member 21 is connected to the first slider 234. The first motor 231 drives the first lead screw 232 to rotate. The first lead screw 232 drives the first slider 234 to move along the length direction of the first lead screw 232, thereby tightening or loosening the first flexible binding member 21. The second driving assembly 24 includes a second motor 241, a second lead screw 242, a second slide rail 243 and a second slider 244. The second lead screw 242 is connected to the second motor 241. The two ends of the second slide rail 243 are respectively connected to the second column 13 and the third column 14. The second lead screw 242 is passed through the second slider 244 and is threadedly connected to the second slider 234. The second slider 244 is slidingly connected to the second slide rail 243. The second movable end 222 of the second flexible binding member 22 is connected to the second slider 244. The second lead screw 242 is driven to rotate by the second motor 241. The second lead screw 242 drives the second slider 244 to move along the length direction of the second lead screw 242 to realize the tightening or loosening of the second flexible binding member 22.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the first drive assembly 23 may adopt an electric push rod or an oil cylinder, and the second drive assembly 24 may adopt an electric push rod or an oil cylinder.

[0059] The present invention provides an anti-tilt assembly 2 on the bracket 1, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the installation robot is working, the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 loosen the binding of the photovoltaic module 100, so that the mechanical arm of the installation robot can grab the photovoltaic module 100, without interfering with the operation of the installation robot or the loading and unloading of the photovoltaic module 100 by the forklift; Figures 9 to 11As shown, when the installation robot moves in the field, the first motor 231 and the second motor 241 respectively control the rotation of the first screw 232 and the second screw 242, the first screw 232 drives the first moving end 212 from the first column 12 to the fourth column 15 through the first slider 234, and the second screw 242 drives the second moving end 222 from the second column 13 to the third column 14 through the second slider 244, so that the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 tighten and bind the remaining photovoltaic components 100, thereby preventing any number of photovoltaic components 100 from remaining. The photovoltaic component 100 can be repositioned to the middle position of the bracket 1 by tipping or shaking; the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 are both bendable flexible members to avoid damage to the photovoltaic component 100; after the movement is completed, the first motor 231 and the second motor 241 respectively control the first screw 232 and the second screw 242 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first flexible binding member 21 and the second flexible binding member 22 completely release the photovoltaic component 100, will not block the photovoltaic component 100, will not affect the installation robot's grasping of the photovoltaic component 100, and will not affect the loading or unloading of the photovoltaic component 100.

[0060] Compared to anti-tilt retaining structures that can flip or slide, in addition to controlling the flipping or sliding of the anti-tilt retaining frame, it is also necessary to control the forward and backward movement of the anti-tilt retaining frame based on the number of remaining photovoltaic modules to ensure that the photovoltaic modules can be effectively prevented from tipping. The present invention can control the loosening or tightening of the first and second flexible binding members 21 and 22 by rotating the first motor 231 and the second motor 241 forward and reverse, thus simplifying the control method.

[0061] Compared to flipping or sliding anti-tilt guards, which are not in constant contact with the photovoltaic modules, the photovoltaic modules may shake or collide with the anti-tilt guards during the movement of the installation robot, posing a risk of damage to the photovoltaic modules. The present invention utilizes bendable first and second flexible binding members 21, 22 to prevent damage to the photovoltaic modules 100.

[0062] The tightening or loosening of the anti-tipping component 2 used in the present invention has nothing to do with the number of remaining photovoltaic components 100. For example, when tightening is required, the motor controls the slider to move from the front end to the rear end of the slide rail. When loosening is required, the motor controls the slider to move from the rear end to the front end of the slide rail, thereby effectively tightening or loosening the component. There is no need to set up sensors to detect the number of photovoltaic components, and there is no need to set up sensors to sense and accurately control the position of the slider. The control method is simple.

[0063] PV modules 100 are typically mounted on a pallet. A forklift picks up the pallet and mounts the photovoltaic modules 100 onto a support mechanism, enabling loading of the PV modules 100. In some embodiments, the support mechanism is connected to an installation robot. When the installation robot moves within the installation site, the PV modules 100 and the support mechanism move with the installation robot.

[0064] The anti-overturning component 2 provided in the present invention has nothing to do with the number of remaining photovoltaic components. Controlling the movement of the lead screw slider to the end of the slide rail can effectively tighten or loosen the component. There is no need to set up a sensor to detect the number of photovoltaic components, and there is no need to set up a sensor to sense and accurately control the position of the slider, and the control method is simple.

[0065] The installation robot is equipped with a control module, which is used to control the installation robot's automatic movement, material grabbing, etc. The first motor 231 and the second motor 241 are both electrically connected to the control module. The control module issues commands to control the first motor 231 and the second motor 241 to turn on, off, and rotate forward and reverse.

[0066] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. The understanding of the present invention should be based on those skilled in the art. Although this specification describes the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can still modify or make equivalent substitutions to the present invention, and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
