[0041] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0042] As a renewable, safe and environmentally friendly new energy source, solar energy has been attracting increasing attention. If solar energy is directly utilized, it can only be used as a heat source. Photovoltaic modules can convert solar energy into electrical energy, which can then be applied to various fields and is convenient for transmission. Among them, the structure of the photovoltaic module for converting light energy into solar energy is a solar cell.

[0043] For the convenience of transportation, multiple solar cells need to be stacked and then packed in bags and boxes to ensure the safety of the solar cells. Before the operation of packing the solar cells in bags and boxes, multiple solar cells need to be regularized first to make the outer contours of the multiple solar cells coincide, that is, the outer contours of the multiple solar cells coincide in the normal direction of the solar cells, and the overall shape of the multiple solar cells is a cube.

[0044] In the existing regularization mechanism, usually the solar cells are set vertically first, and vibrations are applied to the solar cells to make the solar cells move relative to each other and all fit with the structure supporting the solar cells at the bottom, so that the outer contours of the multiple solar cells coincide. However, through vibrations, the multiple solar cells are prone to relative rotation, resulting in differences in the angles between the solar cells, making the corners of some solar cells protrude, which is not only easy to break into pieces but also easy to scratch the operators, and the regularization effect is poor.

[0045] Among them, multiple solar cells are stacked to form a set of solar cell groups, and the thickness of the solar cell group is the total thickness of the multiple solar cells. It should be noted that the number of solar cells in a set of solar cell groups is determined according to the production line. In this embodiment, a set of solar cell groups including 144 solar cells is taken as an example for illustration.

[0046] This embodiment provides a regularization mechanism, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the alignment mechanism 10 includes a support plate 11. The support plate 11 is provided with a first supporting portion 111 and a second supporting portion 112. The battery cell group 100 is arranged on the support plate 11, and the battery cell group 100 can slide relative to the support plate 11 under the action of gravity, so that the first side 101 of the battery cell group 100 abuts against the first supporting portion 111, and the second side 102 of the battery cell group 100 abuts against the second supporting portion 112.

[0047] Among them, the support plate 11 is in a substantially vertical or completely vertical state, so that the battery cells can more easily move downward under the action of gravity and abut against the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112, thereby maintaining stability. The first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112 are arranged at an angle to align the battery cell group 100 from two non-parallel directions.

[0048] Specifically, the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell are also arranged at an angle to respectively fit the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112. Moreover, the first side 101 and the second side 102 may be adjacent or non-adjacent. The outer contour of the battery cell is mostly rectangular, and at this time the first side 101 and the second side 102 are adjacent; while the outer contour of the battery cell may also be hexagonal, octagonal, etc., and at this time the first side 101 and the second side 102 may be arranged at intervals.

[0049] It should be noted that when the battery cell is in a substantially vertical or completely vertical state, both the first side 101 and the second side 102 are the sides at the lower end of the battery cell to ensure that the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112 can stably support the battery cell. That is to say, the distance between the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112 gradually increases in the upward direction to support the battery cell group 100.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 4 shown in the figure, the alignment mechanism 10 further includes an alignment assembly 12. The alignment assembly 12 includes a base 121 and two alignment members 122 arranged on the base 121 with adjustable spacing. The base 121 moves in a direction close to or away from the battery cell group 100, so that the two alignment members 122 respectively move and abut against the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell.

[0051] The base 121 of the alignment assembly 12 reciprocates relative to the battery cell group 100, so that the two alignment members 122 can move along the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell, which can not only promote the battery cell to fit the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112 under the action of gravity, but also correct the battery cell with a twisted angle, so that the outer contours of the battery cell group 100 coincide.

[0052] The sizing mechanism 10 can align the outer contours of multiple solar cells in the solar cell group 100, avoid fragmentation and scratching of operators, and improve the sizing effect.

[0053] Among them, the base 121 of the sizing component 12 is driven by a linear drive structure. Specifically, the linear drive structure includes a cylinder, a linear motor, a lead screw nut structure, etc. As long as it can drive the base 121 to move linearly, it will not be elaborated here.

[0054] It should be noted that a plurality of first supporting portions 111 and a plurality of second supporting portions 112 are both arranged at intervals, so that gaps corresponding to the sizing members 122 are formed between the plurality of first supporting portions 111 and between the plurality of second supporting portions 112 to avoid the sizing members 122, so that the first side 101 and the second side 102 are partially exposed, facilitating the sizing members 122 to perform sizing.

[0055] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the sizing mechanism 10 further includes a sizing mounting plate 17. The sizing mounting plate 17 is the basic mounting structure of the sizing mechanism 10, and is used to mount other functional components of the sizing mechanism 10, making the sizing mechanism 10 modular, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly on the production line. For the convenience of loading, the support plate 11 can be switched to have a receiving state (such as Figure 1 shown) and a sizing state (such as Figure 2 shown). When the support plate 11 is in the receiving state, the angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is less than 45°. When the support plate 11 is in the sizing state, the angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is greater than 45°.

[0056] In this embodiment, the support plate 11 is arranged on the sizing mounting plate 17. When the angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is less than 45°, the solar cells can be relatively stably placed on the support plate 11, facilitating the support plate 11 to receive the solar cell group 100. When the angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is greater than 45°, the solar cells abut against the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112 under the action of gravity. At this time, the sizing component 12 can start sizing the solar cell group 100.

[0057] It can be understood that in order to ensure the stability of the battery cell group 100, when the support plate 11 is in the receiving state, the included angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is 0°. At this time, the acting direction of the gravity of the battery cell group 100 is perpendicular to the support plate 11, and the support plate 11 can stably support the battery cell group 100. When the support plate 11 is in the regular state, the included angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is 90°. At this time, the gravity of the battery cell group 100 is parallel to the support plate 11, and there is almost no force acting between the battery cell group 100 and the support plate 11. Under the action of gravity, the battery cell group 100 abuts against the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112, and the friction between multiple battery cells and between the battery cell group 100 and the support plate 11 is almost zero, which helps the battery cell group 100 to fit with the first supporting portion 111 and the second supporting portion 112.

[0058] In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, it is taken as an example that when the support plate 11 is in the receiving state, the included angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is 0°, and when the support plate 11 is in the regular state, the included angle between the support plate 11 and the horizontal plane is 90° for illustration.

[0059] In this embodiment, the regularizing mechanism 10 further includes a vibrator 15, and the vibrator 15 is configured to vibrate the support plate 11. In order to fix the vibrator 15 and the support plate 11, the regularizing mechanism 10 further includes a switching frame 18. The switching frame 18 is switchably arranged on the regularizing mounting plate 17. The support plate 11 and the vibrator 15 are both arranged on the switching frame 18, and the support plate 11 is connected to the switching frame 18 through an elastic element to ensure that the vibrator 15 can drive the support plate 11 to vibrate.

[0060] The switching frame 18 can switch the support plate 11 between the receiving state and the regular state. Specifically, the switching frame 18 is rotatably connected to the regularizing mounting plate 17, and the switching frame 18 is driven by a rotation driving structure. Specifically, the rotation driving structure includes a rotary cylinder, a motor gear structure, a worm and worm gear structure, etc. As long as it can drive the switching frame 18 to rotate, it will not be elaborated here.

[0061] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, during the process of the support plate 11 switching to the regular state, in order to prevent the battery cells from falling off the support plate 11, the regularizing mechanism 10 further includes a pressing member 16, and the pressing member 16 is configured to press the battery cell group 100 onto the support plate 11. In this embodiment, the pressing member 16 includes a rotary cylinder, and the piston of the rotary cylinder can rotate relative to the cylinder body. When the support plate 11 needs to rotate to the regular state, the piston of the rotary cylinder rotates and presses the battery cell group 100 onto the support plate 11. When vibrating or when the support plate 11 is in the receiving state, the piston of the rotary cylinder rotates and disengages from the battery cells.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the support plate 11 is in a regular state, as the vibrator 15 drives the support plate 11 to vibrate, the base 121 of the regularizing assembly 12 also moves up and down. At this time, the two regularizing members 122 move along the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell respectively.

[0063] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in order to ensure that the two regularizing members 122 can abut against the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell and apply pressure to the battery cell, the regularizing assembly 12 further includes a first elastic member 123. The first elastic member 123 is connected to both of the two regularizing members 122, and the first elastic member 123 is configured to drive the two regularizing members 122 to approach each other.

[0064] When the base 121 moves upward, the distance between the two regularizing members 122 increases, and the first elastic member 123 is stretched. Therefore, the first elastic member 123 can drive the two regularizing members 122 to abut tightly against the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell respectively. When the base 121 moves downward, the two regularizing members 122 approach each other under the action of the first elastic member 123 and always remain in contact with the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell.

[0065] In this embodiment, the regularizing assembly 12 further includes a limiting structure 124. The limiting structure 124 is disposed between the two regularizing members 122 to limit the minimum distance between the two regularizing members 122. When both of the two regularizing members 122 are separated from the battery cell, the two regularizing members 122 abut against the limiting structure 124, and at this time, a certain distance is maintained between the two regularizing members 122.

[0066] It can be understood that if the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell are adjacent, the distance between the two regularizing members 122 can be set to be relatively small, as long as it can ensure that the sharp angle between the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell can enter. If the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell are spaced apart, the distance between the two regularizing members 122 needs to be greater than the minimum distance between the first side 101 and the second side 102. Generally speaking, this minimum distance is the distance between the bottoms of the first side 101 and the second side 102, so as to ensure that the bottoms of the first side 101 and the second side 102 can enter between the two regularizing members 122, so that the two regularizing members 122 can move along the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell respectively.

[0067] In order to reduce the wear between the aligning member 122 and the battery cell, the aligning member 122 includes an aligning wheel, which rolls against the first side edge 101 or the second side edge 102 of the battery cell. The aligning wheel can change the sliding abutment between the aligning member 122 and the battery cell into a rolling abutment, thereby protecting the battery cell and avoiding fragments.

[0068] Furthermore, the aligning wheel is made of elastic material such as rubber, sponge, etc., or the outer periphery of the aligning wheel is covered with elastic material.

[0069] In some embodiments, the regular piece 122 may also be a structure with a regular plane, which is flat and parallel to the first side 101 or the second side 102, thereby increasing the contact area between the regular piece 122 and the battery cell group 100 and avoiding fragments caused by excessive local pressure.

[0070] It is worth noting that, in the process of arranging the battery cell group 100, the battery cells are in an upright state and are prone to fall in a direction away from the support plate 11, causing the battery cells to break. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the tidying mechanism 10 also includes an anti-slip assembly 13, and the anti-slip assembly 13 includes an anti-slip part 131. The anti-slip part 131 is movably arranged relative to the support plate 11 to be close to or away from the support plate 11, and the anti-slip part 131 is spaced apart from the support plate 11 to abut against the battery cell.

[0071] The anti-slip member 131 can abut and support the battery cell on the side of the battery cell group 100 away from the support plate 11 to prevent the battery cell from tipping over, thereby ensuring that the vibrator 15 prevents the battery cell from tipping over when the support plate 11 is vibrated and the tidying component 12 tidying the battery cell group 100.

[0072] In this embodiment, the minimum distance between the anti-slip component 131 and the support plate 11 is equal to the total thickness of the battery cell group 100. That is to say, when the anti-slip component 131 approaches the support plate 11 and stops, the space between the anti-slip component 131 and the support plate 11 is just enough to place the battery cell group 100, which can ensure that the battery cell group 100 remains stable under the vibration of the support plate 11 and the regularity of the regular component 12, and will not collide with each other and cause fragments.

[0073] Since the surfaces of the battery cells are flat, in the battery cell group 100, a certain adsorption force is likely to be generated between two adjacent battery cells, making it difficult for the battery cells to move relative to each other and causing inconvenience to the regularization of the battery cell group 100. To solve the above problem, in some embodiments, the minimum distance between the anti-disengagement member 131 and the support plate 11 is greater than the total thickness of the battery cell group 100. At this time, as the support plate 11 vibrates, a certain gap will be generated between adjacent battery cells in the battery cell group 100, thereby greatly reducing the adsorption force between the battery cells and improving the effect and efficiency of regularization.

[0074] In this embodiment, the anti-disengagement assembly 13 further includes a driving seat 132 and a second elastic member 133. The driving seat 132 is movably connected to the anti-disengagement member 131 and is located on the other side of the anti-disengagement member 131 relative to the support plate 11. The second elastic member 133 is disposed between the driving seat 132 and the anti-disengagement member 131 and drives the anti-disengagement member 131 away from the driving seat 132. The arrangement of the second elastic member 133 enables the anti-disengagement member 131 to be elastically abutted against the battery cell group 100, which can not only ensure that the force of the anti-disengagement member 131 pushing against the battery cell group 100 gradually increases to avoid crushing the battery cells, but also provide a certain space for the movement of the battery cell group 100 when the support plate 11 and the regularization assembly 12 vibrate to regularize the battery cell group 100, so that a certain gap can be generated between two adjacent battery cells to facilitate regularization, and at the same time can ensure the stability of the battery cell group 100.

[0075] Among them, the driving seat 132 of the anti-disengagement assembly 13 is driven by a linear driving structure. Specifically, the linear driving structure includes a cylinder, a linear motor, a lead screw nut structure, etc., as long as it can make the driving seat 132 move linearly, which will not be elaborated here.

[0076] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, in order to further improve the effect and efficiency of regularizing the battery cell group 100, the regularization mechanism 10 further includes an auxiliary assembly 14. The auxiliary assembly 14 includes a bracket 141 and a blowing member disposed on the bracket 141. The bracket 141 is configured to be able to approach or move away from the support plate 11. The blowing member is provided with a plurality of blowing holes, and the blowing member is configured to blow air through the plurality of blowing holes into the gaps between the plurality of battery cells of the battery cell group 100.

[0077] The bracket 141 can drive the blowing member to approach the battery cell group 100, and blow air through the blowing member into the gaps between the plurality of battery cells of the battery cell group 100, which helps to separate two adjacent battery cells, greatly reducing the adsorption force, thereby facilitating the relative movement between the battery cells and facilitating the regularization of the battery cells of the battery cell group 100.

[0078] Further, the air blowing member is an air knife 142, and a plurality of air blowing holes are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the blade of the air knife 142. Among them, the blade of the air knife 142 is parallel to the plane where the battery cells are located, so that the air flow blown out by the plurality of air blowing holes can cover the side edges of the battery cell group 100, facilitating the air flow to enter the gap between two adjacent battery cells to increase the gap between the two adjacent battery cells.

[0079] In this embodiment, the bracket 141 is provided with an avoidance structure 143, and the battery cell group 100 on the support plate 11 can pass through the bracket 141 through the avoidance structure 143. An air blowing member is arranged on one side of the bracket 141. The air blowing member moves along with the bracket 141, and can make the air flow blown out by the air blowing member move along the thickness direction of the battery cell group 100, sweeping across all the battery cells, ensuring that the gaps between all the battery cells can be blown, so that all the battery cells can be separated and regularized.

[0080] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, air blowing members are arranged on both sides of the bracket 141. When the battery cell group 100 partially passes through the avoidance structure 143 of the bracket 141, the air blowing members on both sides can blow air to the battery cell group 100, which helps to increase the gap between adjacent battery cells and improves the effect and efficiency of regularizing the battery cell group 100.

[0081] Since the regularization assembly 12 for regularizing the battery cell group 100 is located below the battery cell group 100, when the bracket 141 approaches the battery cell group 100, at least an air blowing member needs to be arranged below the battery cell group 100. Specifically, air blowing members are arranged at positions of the bracket 141 corresponding to the first side edge 101 and the second side edge 102 of the battery cell group 100, so that when the regularizing member 122 moves along the first side edge 101 and the second side edge 102 of the battery cell group 100, the air blowing member can increase the gap size between the battery cells nearby, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of regularization.

[0082] In order to ensure that after the battery cell group 100 is regularized by the regularization mechanism 10, the outer contours of the multiple battery cells of the battery cell group 100 completely coincide, the auxiliary assembly 14 further includes a pushing member 144. The pushing member 144 is telescopically arranged on the bracket 141, and the pushing member 144 is configured to push the side edge of the battery cell group 100. The pushing member 144 can approach and push the side edge of the battery cell group 100, thereby pushing the battery cells whose partial contours do not coincide with those of other battery cell groups 100. Since the pushing force of the pushing member 144 is much greater than the forces generated by the vibration of the support plate 11 and the regularizing member 122, the regularization effect is better.

[0083] Specifically, when the bracket 141 approaches the battery cell group 100, the pushing member 144 is located above the battery cell group 100, and the pushing member 144 assists in regularizing the battery cell group 100 by pushing the battery cell group 100 downward.

[0084] Taking the battery cell as a rectangle as an example, when the support plate 11 is in a regular state, a blowing member is provided obliquely below the avoidance structure 143 on the support 141. Specifically, the blowing members are located at the lower left and lower right of the avoidance structure 143, and a pushing member 144 is provided obliquely above the avoidance structure 143 on the support 141. Specifically, the pushing members 144 are located at the upper left and upper right of the avoidance structure 143.

[0085] Among them, the support 141 of the auxiliary assembly 14 is driven by a linear drive structure. Specifically, the linear drive structure includes a cylinder, a linear motor, a lead screw-nut structure, etc. As long as it can make the support 141 move linearly, it will not be elaborated here.

[0086] The working process of the regularizing mechanism 10 is described as follows:

[0087] First, the support plate 11 rotates and switches to the material receiving state. The loading manipulator places the battery cell group 100 formed by a plurality of stacked battery cells on the support plate 11. The piston of the rotary cylinder rotates to press the battery cell group 100 against the support plate 11. Then the support plate 11 rotates to the regular state. The driving seat 132 of the anti-detachment assembly 13 approaches the support plate 11, and the anti-detachment member 131 abuts against the battery cell group 100 and compresses the second elastic member 133 to a certain extent to fix the battery cell group 100. Then the vibrator 15 drives the support plate 11 to vibrate, and the base 121 of the regularizing assembly 12 moves up and down to make the regularizing member 122 move along the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the battery cell group 100 to regularize the battery cell group 100. During the process, the support 141 of the auxiliary assembly 14 approaches the support plate 11, the blowing member is turned on and blows air on the battery cell group 100, which helps the adjacent battery cells to separate to reduce the adsorption force. At the same time, the pushing member 144 of the auxiliary assembly 14 pushes the two upper sides of the battery cell group 100 to assist in regularizing the battery cell group 100 until the battery cell group 100 is regularized. Finally, the support 141 of the auxiliary assembly 14 moves away from the support plate 11, the driving seat 132 of the anti-detachment assembly 13 moves away from the support plate 11, the piston of the rotary cylinder rotates to press the battery cell group 100 against the support plate 11, the support plate 11 rotates and switches to the material receiving state, and the piston of the rotary cylinder rotates to release the battery cell group 100, and then the unloading manipulator can take away the battery cell group 100.
