Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic module manufacturing technology, and in particular to a lamination tooling return line device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are key devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy and are widely used in various solar power generation systems. With the increasing global demand for renewable energy, the market demand for photovoltaic modules is also growing rapidly. To meet this demand, improving production efficiency and quality has become particularly important.

[0003] Lamination is a crucial step in the production of photovoltaic modules. The lamination process combines materials such as photovoltaic cells, EVA film (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), and glass sheets, and then cures them under high temperature and pressure to form a robust whole. This process requires tooling to fix and protect the modules, ensuring lamination quality. Therefore, this application proposes a fully automated tooling recirculation device to automatically recirculate high-quality tooling for reuse in multiple lamination processes, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0076] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0077] The specific structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0078] This embodiment provides a lamination tooling return line device, including: a tooling circulation line 194, a tooling installation station 195, a tooling tape application station 196, a laminator 197, a tape removal station 198, a tooling disassembly station 199, a tooling inspection station 200, a tooling lifting and reversing station 201, a tooling buffer conveying station 202, and a tooling NG station 203; the tooling circulation line 194 sequentially passes through the tooling installation station 195, the tooling tape application station 196, the laminator 197, and the tape removal station 198. The tooling disassembly station 199, tooling inspection station 200, and tooling lifting and reversing station 201 are connected. At the tooling lifting and reversing station 201, the tooling is divided into two paths. One path passes through the tooling buffer conveying station 202 and returns to the tooling installation station 195 to form a closed loop for circulating non-NG tooling. The tooling circulation line 194 has a tooling unloading station at the tooling buffer conveying station 202 and a tooling loading station at the tooling installation station 195. The other path passes through the tooling NG station 203 and is used to remove NG tooling.

[0079] In this embodiment, before entering the laminator 197, the tooling circulation line 194 automatically places the tooling onto the photovoltaic module at the tooling installation station 195, automatically connects the tooling and the photovoltaic module with tape at the tooling tape application station 196, and then enters the laminator 197. After exiting the laminator 197, the tape is automatically removed at the tape removal station 198, and the tooling is removed from the photovoltaic module at the tooling disassembly station 199. Finally, the tooling is inspected at the tooling inspection station. 200 tooling inspections are conducted, and the results are categorized as NG (Not Good) and non-NG (Not Good) tooling. At tooling lifting and reversing station 201, non-NG tooling flows to tooling buffer conveying station 202. Through tooling buffer conveying station 202, non-NG tooling is transported from the tooling unloading station to the tooling loading station to supply material to tooling installation station 195, completing a closed loop. At tooling lifting and reversing station 201, NG tooling flows to tooling NG station 203 and is rejected. In the photovoltaic module lamination process, each step is automated, saving manpower, improving production efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0080] In this embodiment, the portion of the tooling circulation line 194 located between the tooling lifting and reversing station 201 and the tooling buffer conveying station 202 is located at the top of the laminator 197, saving space and improving space utilization.

[0081] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the tooling installation station 195 includes: an installation station frame 15, a photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16, and a tooling handling device 100; the installation station frame 15 is set at the tooling loading station; the photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16 is set inside the installation station frame 15, and the photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16 is used to connect with the photovoltaic module conveying line 18 to receive photovoltaic modules and to reverse the direction of the photovoltaic modules; the tooling handling device 100 is set on the top of the installation station frame 15, and the tooling handling device 100 is used to handle the tooling and to fit the tooling onto the outside of the photovoltaic modules on the photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16.

[0082] In this embodiment, after the photovoltaic module conveyor line 18 transports the photovoltaic modules to the photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16, the tooling handling device 100 on the top of the installation station frame 15 transports the tooling at the tooling loading station to the photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16, and puts the tooling on the outside of the photovoltaic module, so as to realize the automatic installation of the tooling on the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module receiving and reversing line 16 transports the photovoltaic module with the tooling installed to the next station, automatically installing the tooling on the photovoltaic module, saving manpower, improving production efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0083] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the tooling handling device 100 includes a horizontal driving mechanism, a vertical driving mechanism, and a tooling pick-and-place mechanism 14; the horizontal driving mechanism is disposed on the mounting station frame 15, the vertical driving mechanism is disposed on the horizontal driving mechanism, and the tooling pick-and-place mechanism 14 is disposed at the lower end of the vertical driving mechanism; the horizontal driving mechanism is used to drive the vertical driving mechanism to move horizontally, the vertical driving mechanism is used to drive the tooling pick-and-place mechanism 14 to move up and down, and the tooling pick-and-place mechanism 14 is used to adsorb the tooling.

[0084] In this embodiment, the lateral drive mechanism can drive the longitudinal drive mechanism to move left and right, or it can drive it to move forward and backward. That is, the tooling handling device 100 is a two-axis drive mechanism, which has a simple structure, is easy to drive, and has a low cost. This embodiment is not limited to this; the tooling handling device 100 can also be a robot or a multi-axis robotic arm.

[0085] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the transverse drive mechanism includes a transverse slide 19 and a transverse motion plate 20; the transverse slide 19 is mounted on the mounting station frame 15, the transverse motion plate 20 is connected to the slider of the transverse slide 19, and the longitudinal drive mechanism is mounted on the transverse motion plate 20. The transverse slide 19 drives the longitudinal drive mechanism through the transverse motion plate 20, which is convenient for installation and provides stable transmission.

[0086] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the lateral drive mechanism further includes a lateral rack 21 and a lateral drive motor 22; the lateral rack 21 is mounted on the mounting station frame 15, the lateral drive motor 22 is mounted on the lateral motion plate 20, and the output end of the lateral drive motor 22 meshes with the lateral rack 21 through gears. The overall structure is simple and the drive is stable.

[0087] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the lateral drive mechanism also includes a lateral positioning detection sensor 23 and a lateral positioning detection plate 24 that cooperate with each other. The lateral positioning detection sensor 23 is disposed on the mounting station frame 15 and located at both ends of the lateral slide table 19, and the lateral positioning detection plate 24 is disposed on the lateral motion plate 20.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the lateral motion plate 20 moves to the lateral positioning detection sensor 23, the lateral positioning detection piece 24 will block the lateral positioning detection sensor 23, so that the lateral positioning detection sensor 23 has a signal, and the lateral slide table 19 stops driving the lateral motion plate 20 to move, thus ensuring the reliability of the lateral motion plate 20 during movement.

[0089] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the longitudinal drive mechanism includes a longitudinal slide 25 and a longitudinal moving beam 26. The longitudinal slide 25 is disposed on the longitudinal moving beam 26, and the slider of the longitudinal slide 25 is connected to the transverse moving plate 20. The lower end of the longitudinal moving beam 26 is connected to the tooling pick-and-place mechanism 14. The slider of the longitudinal slide 25 is connected to the transverse moving plate 20, that is, the slider of the longitudinal slide 25 is fixed relative to the transverse moving plate 20, and the longitudinal slide 25 moves relative to its slider. This facilitates installation, ensures stable transmission, and results in a compact overall structure with a small footprint.

[0113] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the tooling tape application station 196 includes: a tooling photovoltaic module receiving line 56, a tape application station frame 57, a tape feeding mechanism, and a tape application mechanism; the tooling photovoltaic module receiving line 56 is located on the lower side of the tape application station frame 57 and is used to receive the tooling photovoltaic module; the tape feeding mechanism and the tape application mechanism are both connected to the top of the tape application station frame 57 and correspond to the tooling photovoltaic module receiving line 56; the tape feeding mechanism is used to cut the tape, and the tape application mechanism is used to apply the cut tape to the photovoltaic module and the tooling to connect the photovoltaic module and the tooling.

[0114] In this embodiment, by setting up a tooling tape application station 196 on the tooling circulation line 194, when the tooled photovoltaic module flows into the tooled photovoltaic module receiving line 56, the tape feeding mechanism cuts the tape, and the tape application mechanism applies the cut tape to the photovoltaic module and the tooling, thus connecting the photovoltaic module and the tooling. The overall structure is simple, saves manpower, improves production efficiency, and meets the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0115] In this embodiment, the tape feeding mechanism includes: a vertical plate 32, a suspension beam 33, a material tray 34, a positioning claw 35, a cutting blade 36, and a pull claw 37; the vertical plate 32 is connected to the suspension beam 33 and is located on one side of the suspension beam 33; the material tray 34, the positioning claw 35, the cutting blade 36, and the pull claw 37 are arranged sequentially on the vertical plate 32 in a transverse direction; the material tray 34 is used to install the tape roll 38, the pull claw 37 is used to pull the tape, the positioning claw 35 is used to clamp and position the tape, and the cutting blade 36 is used to cut the tape.

At the same time, the pull claw 37 can pull the end of the tape to move. The tape roll 38 rotates on the material tray 34 to stretch the tape. When it reaches the preset length, the positioning claw 35 clamps the tape, and then the cutting blade 36 cuts the tape. The clamping and positioning function of the positioning claw 35 can ensure that the cutting blade 36 cuts the tape stably. The overall structure is simple, saves manpower, improves production efficiency, and meets the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0117] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are also included. The pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are disposed on the upright plate 32 and can extend and retract relative to the upright plate 32. The pair of transversely staggered clamping rods are located between the positioning claw 35 and the cutting blade 36 and are used to excessively clamp the tape so that the end of the tape droops. The pull claw 37 includes a pair of clamping plates 39 and a pair of clamps. The pair of clamps are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the pair of clamping plates 39, and the pair of transversely staggered clamping rods can pass through the pair of clamps in the transverse direction.

[0118] In this embodiment, a pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are driven by a cylinder to extend and retract relative to the side of the vertical plate 32 facing away from the suspension beam 33. The pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are arranged vertically and are horizontally offset. The tape passes between the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods. After the cutting blade 36 cuts the tape, the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods clamp the end of the tape. Because the pair of laterally staggered clamping rods are horizontally offset and can excessively clamp the tape, the end of the tape is pressed down by the upper clamping rod and positioned below the lower clamping rod, causing the end of the tape to droop. When the pull claw 37 comes to pull the end of the tape again, the pair of... The lateral staggered clamp passes between a pair of clamps and is located between a pair of clamping plates 39. At this time, the lower clamp will drive the end of the tape toward the tray 34. When the pair of clamps hold the tape, the end of the tape will be wrapped around the lower clamp and adhered to the rear end of the tape. Then the pair of lateral staggered clamps retract, and the pull claw 37 pulls the tape. Since the end of the tape is wrapped around the lower clamp and adhered to the rear end of the tape, the pair of clamps contact the non-adhesive side of the tape, preventing the tape from sticking to the clamps. At the same time, when the cut tape is pasted on the tooling and photovoltaic modules, it is also convenient to peel off the tape.

After application, the application cylinder 55 retracts upward, making the adsorption plate 47 higher than the pressure roller 48, and then the applied adhesive tape is rolled by the pressure roller 48. The application cylinder 55 drives the adsorption plate 47 to rise and fall, avoiding mutual interference between the adsorption plate 47 and the pressure roller 48, and ensuring the effective application and rolling of the adhesive tape.

[0175] This embodiment is not limited to this; the robotic arm 58 can also be a two-axis robotic arm 58 or a three-axis or more robotic arm 58, as long as the requirements are met.

[0176] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the tooling disassembly station 199 includes: a disassembly station frame 99, a tooling transport device 100, a photovoltaic module receiving line 101 without adhesive tape, a lifting and adsorption mechanism 98, and a tooling disassembly mechanism 87; the photovoltaic module receiving line 101 without adhesive tape is located below the disassembly station frame 99 and is used to receive the photovoltaic modules without adhesive tape flowing out of the tape removal station 198; the lifting and adsorption mechanism 98 is located below the photovoltaic module receiving line 101 without adhesive tape and is used to lift and adsorb the photovoltaic modules; the tooling disassembly mechanism 87 is located beside the photovoltaic module receiving line 101 without adhesive tape and is used to separate the tooling from the photovoltaic modules; the tooling transport device 100 is located at the top of the disassembly station frame 99 and is used to transport the tooling after it has been separated from the photovoltaic modules to the tooling return line 74.

[0177] In this embodiment, after the non-tape-attached photovoltaic module flowing out of the tape-removing station 198 flows into the non-tape-attached photovoltaic module receiving line 101, the lifting and adsorption mechanism 98 lifts and adsorbs the photovoltaic module to ensure the stability of the photovoltaic module's position. Then, the tooling removal mechanism 87 removes the tooling from the photovoltaic module, realizing automatic tooling removal, saving manpower, improving efficiency, meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand, and having a simple structure and convenient and quick tooling removal. At the same time, after the tooling removal mechanism 87 removes the tooling from the photovoltaic module, the tooling handling device 100 transports the tooling to the tooling return line 74 for return. The whole process is completed automatically, further saving manpower and improving production efficiency.

[0178] In this embodiment, the tooling return line 74 is part of the tooling circulation line 194, and the tooling return line 74 is set on the top of the tape removal station frame 61 to save space.

[0179] The lifting and adsorption mechanism 98 includes: a lifting plate 88, a lifting device, and a suction cup 89; the suction cup 89 is disposed on the lifting plate 88 and is located on the upper side of the lifting plate 88; the lifting device is connected to the lifting plate 88 and is located on the lower side of the lifting plate 88; the suction cup 89 is used to adsorb photovoltaic modules, and the lifting device is used to drive the lifting plate 88 to rise and fall.

[0180] In this embodiment, the lifting and adsorption mechanism 98 is located below the tooling to be disassembled and the photovoltaic module. When the tooling and photovoltaic module are disassembled, the lifting device drives the lifting plate 88 to rise until the suction cup 89 adheres to the lower surface of the photovoltaic module. At this point, the tooling is disassembled, which avoids the photovoltaic module being pulled by the tooling and ensures stable disassembly. At the same time, the photovoltaic module does not need to be manually supported, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand. Meanwhile, the lifting plate 88 is driven by the driver to move, which in turn drives the suction cup 89 to move. The structure is simple and the disassembly of the tooling is convenient and quick.

[0181] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a bullseye wheel and a floating plate 90 are also included; the bullseye wheel is disposed on the lifting plate 88 and is located on the upper side of the lifting plate 88; the floating plate 90 is connected to the bullseye wheel, and a suction cup 89 is disposed on the floating plate 90 and is located on the upper side of the floating plate 90.

[0182] In this embodiment, when the lifting plate 88 rises, it drives the floating plate 90 to rise via the bullseye wheel, which in turn drives the suction cup 89 to rise until the suction cup 89 adheres to the photovoltaic module. Since the suction cup 89 is mounted on the floating plate 90, when the suction cup 89 contacts the photovoltaic module, it floats according to the tilt of the lower surface of the photovoltaic module via the floating plate 90. This allows the suction cup 89 to adapt to the tilt of the photovoltaic module, preventing damage to the photovoltaic module caused by contact between the suction cup 89 and the photovoltaic module at a single angle. Furthermore, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and installation and disassembly are convenient.

[0183] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a locking component is also included. The locking component is used to lock the floating plate 90 to limit the floating of the floating plate 90.

[0184] In this embodiment, after the suction cup 89 is fully adsorbed with the photovoltaic module, the floating plate 90 is locked by the locking component to prevent the floating plate 90 from floating, thereby restricting the movement of the suction cup 89 and keeping the position of the suction cup 89 and the photovoltaic module fixed, which facilitates the disassembly of the fixture.

[0185] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the locking component includes a locking slide 91, a V-shaped locking seat 92 and a locking shaft; a pair of locking slides 91 are provided on the lifting plate 88, and the floating plate 90 is located between the pair of locking slides 91; the two ends of the V-shaped locking seat 92 are respectively connected to the sliders of the pair of locking slides 91; one end of the locking shaft is connected to the floating plate 90, and the other end is located between the two ends of the V-shaped locking seat 92.

[0186] In this embodiment, the V-shaped locking seat 92 moves toward the locking shaft via the locking slide 91 until the locking shaft is stuck at the turning point of the V-shaped locking seat 92, preventing the locking shaft from moving and thus restricting the floating of the floating plate 90. The structure is simple and the locking effect is stable.

[0187] This embodiment is not limited to this; the locking component can also be a locking pin, which is installed on the floating plate 90 and the lifting plate 88, and can also restrict the floating of the floating plate 90.

[0188] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a locking ring groove is provided on the outer edge of the locking shaft, and the locking ring groove corresponds to the turning point of the V-shaped locking seat 92, so that the turning point of the V-shaped locking seat 92 can be inserted into the locking ring groove.

[0189] In this embodiment, when the V-shaped locking seat 92 moves toward the locking shaft, the turning point of the V-shaped locking seat 92 can be locked in the locking ring groove, which can limit the locking shaft in multiple directions and further improve the locking effect on the floating plate 90.

[0190] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, an L-shaped counterweight plate 93 is also included. Both ends of the floating plate 90 are provided with L-shaped counterweight plates 93. One end of the L-shaped counterweight plate 93 is connected to the floating plate 90, and the other end of the L-shaped counterweight plate 93 is located on the lower side of the floating plate 90 and is suspended in the air.

[0191] In this embodiment, the L-shaped counterweight plate 93 is used to ensure that the floating plate 90 does not suddenly float by a large amount when it floats, thereby ensuring that the suction cup 89 can be stably attached to the photovoltaic module.

[0192] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, locking components are provided at both ends of the floating plate 90 to improve the locking effect on the floating plate 90.

[0193] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a suction cup base 94 is also included, which is disposed on the floating plate 90; the suction cup 89 is connected to the suction cup base 94. The suction cup 89 is connected to the floating plate 90 through the suction cup base 94, which ensures the stability of the connection of the suction cup 89 and facilitates disassembly.

[0194] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, it also includes an adjustment seat 95 and an adjustment slide 96; the adjustment seat 95 is connected to the slider of the adjustment slide 96, the lifter is disposed on the adjustment seat 95 and the lifter is located on the lower side of the adjustment seat 95, and the lifting plate 88 is located on the upper side of the adjustment seat 95; the lifting rod 97 of the lifter passes through the adjustment seat 95 and the end of the lifting rod 97 is connected to the lifting plate 88.

[0195] In this embodiment, the adjusting seat 95 moves on the adjusting slide 96, which can drive the lifting device and the lifting plate 88 to move together, making the overall position adjustment convenient and improving applicability.

[0196] The tooling disassembly mechanism 87 includes: a pair of drive structures and a pair of slots 75; the pair of drive structures are connected one-to-one with the pair of slots 75, and the slots of the pair of slots 75 are arranged opposite each other, the slots being used to insert the edge of the tooling; the pair of drive structures are used to drive the pair of slots 75 to move closer or further away from each other, and to drive the pair of slots 75 to move up and down synchronously.

[0197] In this embodiment, a pair of driving structures drive a pair of slots 75 to move closer or further apart. Each slot 75 is driven by a separate driving structure and works independently to avoid mutual interference. During operation, the pair of driving structures first drive the pair of slots 75 to move closer together, and the pair of slots 75 can clamp the opposite sides of the fixture. After the opposite sides of the fixture enter the pair of slots 75, the pair of driving structures then drive the pair of slots 75 to rise synchronously, removing the fixture from the photovoltaic module. This achieves automatic fixture removal, saves manpower, improves efficiency, meets the growing production capacity demand, and features a simple structure that makes fixture removal convenient and quick.

[0198] It should be noted that the tooling is also aligned by clamping opposite sides of the tooling with a pair of grooves 75.

[0199] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the driving structure includes a clamping slide 76 and a lifting slide 77; the lifting slide 77 is connected to the slider of the clamping slide 76, and the groove 75 is connected to the slider of the lifting slide 77; the clamping slide 76 is used to drive the lifting slide 77 to reciprocate along the groove opening direction, and the lifting slide 77 is used to drive the groove 75 to move up and down.

[0200] In this embodiment, the clamping slide 76 drives the lifting slide 77 to reciprocate, thereby causing the grooves 75 to move closer or further apart. The lifting slide 77 directly drives the grooves 75 to move up and down. The overall structure is simple and the drive is stable.

[0201] In this embodiment, the driving structure is a two-axis robotic arm, but it is not limited to this. The driving structure can also be a three-axis robotic arm or a robotic arm with more than three axes, as long as the requirements are met.

[0202] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the driving structure further includes an L-plate 78. One end of the L-plate 78 is connected to the slider of the clamping slide 76, and the other end of the L-plate 78 is connected to the lifting slide 77. The L-plate 78 has a stable structure, making the connection between the clamping slide 76 and the lifting slide 77 more stable. At the same time, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0203] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the drive structure further includes a tripod 79, which is disposed between the two ends of the L-plate 78. The tripod 79 supports the L-plate 78, thereby increasing the strength of the L-plate 78.

[0204] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a buffer seat 80 is also included; the groove 75 is connected to the drive structure through the buffer seat 80, and the buffer seat 80 is used to provide buffering force to the bottom wall of the groove 75. This prevents damage to the tooling when the groove 75 clamps the tooling.

[0205] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer seat 80 includes a connecting part 81 and a buffer part 82; the connecting part 81 is connected to the driving structure, and the buffer part 82 is located on the side of the groove 75 away from the groove opening, and the buffer part 82 is used to provide buffering force to the bottom wall of the groove 75. At this time, the connecting part 81 can be rigid, and the buffer part 82 can be elastic. In this way, the buffer seat 80 can ensure the stability of the connection with the driving structure and also ensure the buffering effect on the groove 75.

[0206] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a spring post 83 and a buffer spring 84 are also included; the bottom wall of the groove 75 is connected to the buffer part 82 through the spring post 83, and the groove 75 can move towards or away from the buffer part 82 along the spring post 83; the buffer spring 84 is sleeved on the spring post 83, the buffer spring 84 is located between the bottom wall of the groove 75 and the buffer part 82, and one end of the buffer spring 84 abuts against the bottom wall of the groove 75, and the other end of the buffer spring 84 abuts against the buffer part 82.

[0207] In this embodiment, the entire buffer seat 80 is rigid, and the buffer part 82 provides buffering force by cooperating with the groove 75 through the spring column 83 and the buffer spring 84. The structure is simple, easy to install and disassemble, and has a good buffering effect.

[0208] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer seat 80 further includes a protective part 85, which is located between the connecting part 81 and the buffer part 82, and is located on the lower side of the tank body 75. This prevents the tank body 75 from deforming excessively downward under the action of the photovoltaic module, ensuring that the tooling can always accurately enter the tank body 75 during subsequent use.

[0209] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a buffer layer 86 is provided inside the groove to prevent the tooling from being damaged inside the groove 75.

[0210] like Figures 14 to 16As shown, the tooling inspection station 200 includes: an inspection box 102, a crossbeam 103, a first tooling inspection component, and a second tooling inspection component; the inspection box 102 is mounted on the tooling circulation line 194, and the bottom of the inspection box 102 is provided with an opening; the crossbeam 103 is disposed inside the inspection box 102 and is located at the top of the inspection box 102; both the first tooling inspection component and the second tooling inspection component are disposed on the crossbeam 103, and the first tooling inspection component is used to inspect the transverse edge of the tooling, and the second tooling inspection component is used to inspect the longitudinal edge of the tooling.

[0211] In this embodiment, both the first tooling detection component and the second tooling detection component are set inside the detection box 102 to avoid external interference. At the same time, the first tooling detection component and the second tooling detection component detect the horizontal and vertical edges of the tooling through the box opening. They can automatically detect whether the tooling is damaged on all four edges, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0212] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, along the conveying direction of the tooling circulation line 194, the first tooling detection component is disposed on the side of the crossbeam 103 facing upstream of the tooling circulation line 194, and the second tooling detection component is disposed on the side of the crossbeam 103 facing downstream of the tooling circulation line 194.

[0213] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the first tooling detection assembly includes a first transverse motion slide 104, a first camera 105, and a first light source 106. The first transverse motion slide 104 is disposed on the transverse beam 103. The first camera 105 and the first light source 106 are both disposed on the slider of the first transverse motion slide 104, and the first camera 105 and the first light source 106 cooperate with each other. The first transverse motion slide 104 drives the first camera 105 and the first light source 106 to move along the transverse edge of the detection tooling through the slider, which has a simple structure and high detection accuracy.

[0214] This embodiment is not limited to this; the first tooling inspection component may also include a camera for inspection.

The first camera 105 and the first light source 106 are connected to the slider of the first transverse motion slide 104 through the first transmission plate 107, the connection is stable, and it can effectively ensure that the first camera 105 and the first light source 106 move synchronously.

[0216] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the second tooling detection assembly includes a second transverse motion slide 108, a second camera 109, and a second light source 110. The second transverse motion slide 108 is disposed on the transverse beam 103. The second camera 109 and the second light source 110 are both disposed on the slider of the second transverse motion slide 108, and the second camera 109 and the second light source 110 cooperate with each other. The second camera 109 and the second light source 110 cooperate to detect the longitudinal edge of the tooling, and the second transverse motion slide 108 drives the second camera 109 and the second light source 110 laterally through the slider, so that the second tooling detection assembly can detect tooling of different widths, improving applicability.

The second camera 109 and the second light source 110 are connected to the slider of the second transverse motion slide 108 through the second transmission plate 111, ensuring a stable connection and effectively guaranteeing the synchronous movement of the second camera 109 and the second light source 110.

[0218] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, two second tooling inspection components are provided, and the two second tooling inspection components are respectively located at both ends of the cross beam 103. The two longitudinal edges of the tooling are inspected by the two second tooling inspection components respectively, and the two longitudinal edges can be inspected simultaneously, thereby improving inspection efficiency.

[0219] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the testing box 102 includes a frame 112 and a shell 113; the frame 112 is mounted on the tooling circulation line 194, the shell 113 is mounted on the frame 112, and the bottom of the shell 113 is provided with a box opening; the crossbeam 103 is connected to the frame 112. The overall structure of the testing box 102 is simple and stable.

[0220] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a tooling lateral edge position detection sensor 114 is also included. The tooling lateral edge position detection sensor 114 is disposed on the tooling circulation line 194, and corresponds to the first tooling detection component. When the tooling lateral edge position detection sensor 114 detects the lateral edge of the tooling, the first tooling detection component begins to detect the lateral edge of the tooling, ensuring detection accuracy.

[0221] like Figures 17 to 19As shown, the tooling lifting and reversing station 201 includes: a tooling reversing conveyor line, a busbar with tooled photovoltaic modules, and a hoist; the tooling reversing conveyor line is located above the busbar with tooled photovoltaic modules, and includes a return tooling reversing line 115, a first tooling return line 116, a second tooling return line 117, and an NG tooling return line 118. The return tooling reversing line 115 is located between the first tooling return line 116, the second tooling return line 117, and the NG tooling return line 118, and the first tooling return line 116 and the NG tooling return line 118 are located in the same plane, while the second tooling return line 117 is higher than the first tooling return line 116. The hoist is equipped with a lifting platform, and the return tool reversing line 115 is set on the lifting platform. The lifting platform can drive the return tool reversing line 115 to rise and fall by lifting, so that the return tool reversing line 115 is connected to the first tool return line 116, and the return tool reversing line 115 is selectively connected to the second tool return line 117 and the NG tool return line 118. The first tool return line 116 is used to return NG tools and non-NG tools, the second tool return line 117 is used to return non-NG tools, and the NG tool return line 118 is used to return NG tools.

[0222] In this embodiment, both NG and non-NG tooling are returned through the first tooling return line 116. Initially, the return tooling reversing line 115 is on the same plane as the first tooling return line 116 and the NG tooling return line 118, and the return tooling reversing line 115 is connected to the first tooling return line 116. When the tooling returned by the first tooling return line 116 is an NG tooling, the NG tooling enters the return tooling reversing line from the first tooling return line 116 and then flows into the NG tooling return line 118. When the tooling returned by return line 116 is a non-NG tooling, the non-NG tooling enters the return tooling change line from the first tooling return line 116. After the return tooling change line is lifted by a hoist, it connects to the second tooling return line 117. The non-NG tooling flows into the second tooling return line 117 from the return tooling change line. The hoist drives the tooling reversing conveyor line to rise and fall, realizing the automatic conveying of NG and non-NG tooling. This saves manpower, improves efficiency, and meets the ever-increasing production capacity demand. At the same time, the structure is simple and the conveying is convenient. Furthermore, the tooling reversing conveyor line is set above the photovoltaic module busbar with tooling, saving space.

[0223] In this embodiment, the optional technical solution uses a guide rail type hoist 125. It has a simple structure and low cost, while providing stable lifting performance. However, it is not limited to this; a hydraulic hoist can also be used.

This improves the stability of the connection between the lifting seat 126 and the hollow frame 127.

[0226] In this embodiment, the tooling reversing conveyor line includes: a return tooling reversing line 115, a first tooling return line 116, a second tooling return line 117, and an NG tooling return line 118; the return tooling reversing line 115 is disposed between the first tooling return line 116, the second tooling return line 117, and the NG tooling return line 118; the return tooling reversing line 115 is connected to the first tooling return line 116, and the return tooling reversing line 115 is selectively connected to the second tooling return line 117 and the NG tooling return line 118, and the first tooling return line 116 is used to return NG tools and non-NG tools, the second tooling return line 117 is used to return non-NG tools, and the NG tooling return line 118 is used to return NG tools.

[0227] In this embodiment, both NG and non-NG tooling are returned through the first tooling return line 116. When the tooling returned by the first tooling return line 116 is NG tooling, the return tooling switching line is connected to the NG tooling return line 118. After entering the return tooling switching line from the first tooling return line 116, the NG tooling flows into the NG tooling return line 118. When the tooling returned by the first tooling return line 116 is non-NG tooling, the return tooling switching line is connected to the second tooling return line 117. After entering the return tooling switching line from the first tooling return line 116, the non-NG tooling flows into the second tooling return line 117. The tooling reversing conveyor line realizes the automatic conveying of NG and non-NG tooling, saving manpower, improving efficiency, meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand, and at the same time, the structure is simple and the conveying is convenient.

[0228] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first tooling return line 116, the second tooling return line 117, and the NG tooling return line 118 can have the same height; or they can have different heights or two of them can have the same height. In this case, the return tooling reversing line 115 can be raised or lowered to achieve the connection between the return tooling reversing line 115 and the first tooling return line 116, and the selective connection between the second tooling return line 117 and the NG tooling return line 118.

[0229] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the return tooling reversing line 115 includes a first line body 119 and a second line body 120; each of the first line body 119 and the second line body 120 is provided in a pair, and the pair of second line bodies 120 is disposed between the pair of first line bodies 119; the upstream end of the first line body 119 is connected to the first tooling return line 116, and the downstream end of the first line body 119 is connected to the NG tooling return line 118; the downstream end of the second line body 120 is connected to the second tooling return line 117.

[0231] In this embodiment, when the first conveyor 119 is conveying, the second conveyor 120 is lower than the first conveyor 119. When the second conveyor 120 is required to convey, the second conveyor 120 is higher than the first conveyor 119 to avoid mutual interference in conveying and ensure the reliability of conveying.

[0232] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the return tool reversing line 115 further includes a telescopic stop shaft 121. The telescopic stop shaft 121 is disposed on the first line body 119 and is located at the downstream end of the first line body 119. The telescopic stop shaft 121 is used to stop non-NG tooling.

[0233] In this embodiment, when the second conveyor 120 needs to be conveyed, the tooling flows into the first conveyor 119 and is stopped by the telescopic stop shaft 121, ensuring the reliability of the second conveyor 120.

[0234] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the return tooling reversing line 115 further includes a telescopic stop shaft drive cylinder 122, which is disposed on the first line body 119; the output end of the telescopic stop shaft drive cylinder 122 is connected to the telescopic stop shaft 121. The telescopic stop shaft 121 is driven to extend and retract by the telescopic stop shaft drive cylinder 122, which has a simple structure and stable driving effect. However, it is not limited to this; the telescopic stop shaft drive cylinder 122 can also be replaced by a telescopic stop shaft 121 drive motor.

[0235] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the return tooling reversing line 115 further includes a first transition line 123; the first transition line 123 is disposed on the first line body 119 and located at the downstream end of the first line body 119, and the first line body 119 is connected to the NG tooling return line 118 through the first transition line 123. This ensures the reliability of the connection between the first line body 119 and the NG tooling return line 118.

[0236] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the first transition line 123 is rotatably connected to the first line body 119 and can be flipped relative to the first line body 119. When the first line body 119 and the NG tooling return line 118 do not need to be connected, the first transition line 123 can be flipped up.

[0237] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a second transition line 124 is also included. The second transition line 124 is disposed on the first tooling return line 116 and located at the downstream end of the first tooling return line 116. The first tooling return line 116 is connected to the return tooling reversing line 115 through the second transition line 124. This ensures the reliability of the connection between the first tooling return line 116 and the return tooling reversing line 115.

[0238] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the second transition line 124 is rotatably connected to the first tooling return line 116 and can be flipped relative to the first tooling return line 116. The second transition line 124 has the same effect as the first transition line 123, and will not be described again here.

[0239] It should be noted that the first production line 119 has the same conveying direction as the first tooling return line 116 and the NG tooling return line 118, and the second production line 120 has the same conveying direction as the second tooling return line 117.

[0240] like Figures 20 to 24 As shown, the tooling buffer conveying station 202 includes: a tooling buffer conveying device and a tooling unloading and handling device 157; the tooling buffer conveying device is located between the tooling unloading station and the tooling loading station; the tooling unloading and handling device 157 is located on the tooling buffer conveying device and is located on top of the tooling buffer conveying device; the tooling unloading and handling device 157 is used to transport the tooling at the tooling unloading station to the tooling buffer conveying device for buffering, and the tooling buffer conveying device is used to transport the buffered tooling to the tooling loading station.

[0241] In this embodiment, the tooling at the high tooling unloading station is transported to the tooling buffer conveying device by the tooling unloading tooling transporting device 157. When a certain number of tooling is buffered, the tooling buffer conveying device sends the buffered tooling to the low tooling loading station, thereby automatically transporting the tooling from the tooling unloading station to the tooling loading station, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0242] In this embodiment, the tooling buffer conveying device includes a tooling buffer mechanism 146 and a tooling conveying mechanism 147. The tooling buffer mechanism 146 is located below the tooling unloading station, and the tooling conveying mechanism 147 is located between the tooling buffer mechanism 146 and the tooling loading station. The tooling buffer mechanism 146 includes a buffer frame 148 and a lift. The buffer frame 148 is connected to the lift and is used to stack tooling. The lift is used to drive the buffer frame 148 to reciprocate between the tooling unloading station and the tooling conveying mechanism 147 to transport the tooling from the tooling unloading station to the tooling conveying mechanism 147. The tooling conveying mechanism 147 is used to transport the tooling on the buffer frame 148 to the tooling loading station.

[0243] In this embodiment, the elevator drives the buffer rack 148 to rise and fall. When the elevator drives the buffer rack 148 to the tooling unloading station, the tooling at the tooling unloading station is stacked on the buffer rack 148 for buffering. When a certain amount is buffered, the elevator drives the buffer rack 148 to fall to the tooling conveying mechanism 147 and conveys the tooling to the tooling conveying mechanism 147. The conveying mechanism conveys the tooling to the tooling loading station, realizing the automatic conveying of the tooling from the tooling unloading station to the tooling loading station, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the ever-increasing production capacity demand.

[0244] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer rack 148 includes a frame and a base frame 150. The frame is disposed on the base frame 150, and a tooling stacking space is formed inside the frame. The base frame 150 is connected to the elevator. By forming a tooling stacking space inside the frame, the tooling is stacked in the stacking space to prevent it from falling or tipping over.

[0245] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the frame includes side blocks 151 and bottom blocks 152. The side blocks 151 are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the base frame 150, and the bottom blocks 152 are arranged inside the side blocks 151. A tooling stacking space is formed between the side blocks 151 and the bottom blocks 152.

[0246] In this embodiment, the bottom block 152 is hollowed out to reduce weight. The edge of the tooling is placed on the bottom block 152, and the bottom block 152 supports the tooling. The overall structure of the frame is simple and not only prevents the tooling from falling or tipping over, but also supports the load.

[0247] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 153 is also included; the base frame 150 is square, and the side guards 151 on each side of the base frame 150 are slidably connected to the base frame 150 through the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 153, and the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 153 is used to drive the side guards 151 on opposite sides of the base frame 150 to move closer or further away from each other.

[0248] In this embodiment, the shape of the tooling stacking space matches the shape of the tooling, i.e., it is square. The side rails 151 on each side of the base frame 150 can slide through the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 153, which not only adjusts the size of the tooling stacking space to accommodate tooling of different sizes and improves applicability, but also allows the tooling to fall off by moving the side rails 151 outward, facilitating tooling unloading.

[0249] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the tooling stacking space adjustment rack 154 and the tooling stacking space adjustment motor 155 are also included. The tooling stacking space adjustment rack 154 is mounted on the base frame 150, and the tooling stacking space adjustment motor 155 is mounted on the side stop 151. The output end of the tooling stacking space adjustment motor 155 meshes with the tooling stacking space adjustment rack 154 through a gear. The tooling stacking space adjustment rack 154 and the tooling stacking space adjustment motor 155 work together to adjust the position of the side stop 151. The driving force is large, ensuring the stability of the tooling movement on the base stop 152, thereby ensuring the stability of tooling unloading and facilitating tooling unloading.

[0252] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the chain guide rail type lifting platform 149 is provided with a fall-prevention telescopic block 156, which is used to support the bottom of the buffer frame 148. When the lifting platform drives the buffer frame 148 to the tooling unloading station, the fall-prevention telescopic block 156 extends to support the buffer frame 148, preventing it from falling and ensuring the stability of the buffer frame 148's position.

[0253] Furthermore, the fall arrestor telescopic block 156 is covered with a shell to effectively protect the fall arrestor telescopic block 156.

When the chassis 131 is located below the base frame 150, the fence can enter the tooling stacking space to transfer the tooling in the tooling stacking space to the tooling stacking space.

[0255] In this embodiment, the transport vehicle 129 moves back and forth between the tooling unloading station and the tooling loading station along the ground rail 130. When the chassis 131 is below the base frame 150, the enclosure can enter the tooling stacking space and move outward through the side guards 151, so that the tooling is unloaded into the tooling stacking space, preventing it from falling out of the transport vehicle 129 during unloading. The transport vehicle 129 can transport the buffer rack 148 to the tooling below and continue to transport it to the tooling loading station, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the growing production capacity demand. At the same time, a tooling stacking space is formed inside the enclosure, and the tooling is stacked in the stacking space to prevent it from falling or tipping over.

[0261] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the chassis 131 has a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side in sequence. The enclosures 132 of the first side and the second side are slidably connected to the chassis 131 through the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 134, and the enclosures 132 of the third side and the fourth side are connected to the chassis 131 through the elbow clamp 135.

[0262] In this embodiment, one set of adjacent side barriers 132 can move relative to the chassis 131 via the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 134, while another set of adjacent side barriers 132 remains fixed relative to the chassis 131. The structure is simple, low-cost, and provides good adjustment of the stacking space size. Simultaneously, the barriers 132 are secured by elbow clamps 135, facilitating disassembly and ensuring a secure fixation.

The bottom beam of the tooling transfer vehicle 175 is clamped by the clamping interval to ensure the stable parking of the tooling transfer vehicle 175 and facilitate subsequent operations.

[0319] Furthermore, the guiding assembly includes a base 191, a guide beam 192, and second guide rollers 193; the guide beam 192 is connected to the base 191, and multiple second guide rollers 193 are spaced apart on the guide beam 192 along its guiding direction.
