[0035] See also Figure 1 , 2 3. An embodiment of the recycling device 200 for recycling the photovoltaic panel body 900 of a solar cell module of the present invention is suitable for physically recycling a photovoltaic panel body 900 of the solar cell module. The physical recycling process includes, but is not limited to, milling and grinding.

[0036] The photovoltaic panel body 900 is the component left after the outer frame and the junction box of the solar cell module are removed. The photovoltaic panel body 900 is composed of a glass cover plate 901, a plurality of silicon crystal plates 902 and a back plate 903 stacked and bonded via an adhesive 904. The recycling and processing device 200 can be used to perform the physical recycling process on the back plate 903, the adhesive 904 and the silicon crystal plate 902 of the photovoltaic panel body 900, and finally obtain a cover plate residue composed of the glass cover plate 901 and the remaining part of the adhesive 904. And when implemented, the recycling and processing device 200 can also be used for the physical recycling process of the photovoltaic panel body 900 whose glass cover plate 901 has been broken.

[0037] The recycling device 200 includes a frame mechanism 3, and a feeding mechanism 4 and a recycling mechanism 5 installed on the frame mechanism 3. The frame mechanism 3 defines a recycling area 30 for performing physical recycling operations on the photovoltaic panel body 900. Since the frame mechanism 3 has many types and is not the focus of the present invention, it will not be described in detail.

[0038] See also Figure 4 , 5 , 6, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding guide module 41, a guiding module 42, a conveying module 45, and a carrying module 46 installed on the frame mechanism 3.

[0039] The feed guide module 41 includes two guide plates 411 arranged in parallel with each other at intervals, and the guide plates 411 cooperate to define a feed guide groove 410 extending horizontally in the conveying direction 801 from front to back, and the vertical height of the feed guide groove 410 is slightly greater than the thickness of the photovoltaic panel body 900. The guide plate 411 is penetrated by four guide holes 412 extending left and right and spaced from front to back and left to right. The feed guide groove 410 can be used to allow the photovoltaic panel body 900 to be horizontally inserted in the conveying direction 801, and to guide the photovoltaic panel body 900 horizontally toward the conveying module 45, and the feed guide groove 410 will expose the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel body 900.

[0040] The guiding module 42 includes a guiding rail unit 43 installed on the frame mechanism 3 and located below the feed guiding module 41, two guiding seats 432 installed on the guiding rail unit 43 and respectively located below the feed guiding module 41, and a guiding driving unit 44 installed on the frame mechanism 3 and connected to the guiding seat 432. The guiding rail unit 43 includes two guiding rails 431 extending horizontally left and right along the processing direction 803 horizontally orthogonal to the conveying direction 801 and spaced apart from each other. The guiding seats 432 are respectively installed on the guiding rails 431, and each guiding seat 432 is uprightly provided with two columnar pushing members 433 spaced apart from each other and passing upward through the corresponding guide holes 412. When the guiding seats 432 are driven to move left and right along the guiding rails 431, the pushing members 433 move left and right along the corresponding guide holes 412.

[0041] The guiding driving unit 44 includes a rotating seat 441 coaxially mounted on the frame mechanism 3 with the vertically vertical tool moving direction 802, two transmission rods 442 respectively pivoted to the guiding seat 432 at one end and pivoted to the rotating seat 441 at the other end, and a driver 443 connected to the rotating seat 441. The driver 443 can be used to drive the rotating seat 441 to rotate the rotating seat 441 to drive the transmission rods 442 to move leftward and rightward, thereby driving the pushing member 433 of the guiding seat 432 to push the left and right sides of the photovoltaic panel body 900 located in the feeding guide groove 410 to drive the photovoltaic panel body 900 to rotate leftward and rightward.

[0042] During implementation, the number of the pushing members 433 of the guiding seat 432 is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation forms, and the structural design is not limited thereto. For example, the pushing members 433 may also be changed into a plate shape.

[0043] The conveying module 45 includes a feed conveying unit 451 and a discharge conveying unit 452 installed on the frame mechanism 3 at intervals along the conveying direction 801, and a conveying driving unit 453 installed on the frame mechanism 3 and connected to the feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452. The feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the recycling processing section 30, and are synchronously driven by the conveying driving unit 453 to respectively convey the photovoltaic panel body 900 in the conveying direction 801 and convey a residual material section 920 formed by the photovoltaic panel body 900 after physical recycling.

[0044] In this embodiment, the feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452 each have two rollers 450 extending left and right and spaced apart from each other in parallel. The feed conveying unit 451 rolls and clamps the photovoltaic panel body 900 up and down with the rollers 450, and can convey the photovoltaic panel body 900 in the conveying direction 801 through the recycling processing section 30 to form a section to be processed 910 located in the recycling processing section 30. The discharge conveying unit 452 rolls and clamps the residual material section 920 up and down with the rollers 450 in the conveying direction 801. In this embodiment, the speed at which the discharge conveying unit 452 rolls and clamps the residual material section 920 is greater than the speed at which the feed conveying unit 451 rolls and clamps the photovoltaic panel body 900. The design of the conveying speed difference can be used to support the section to be processed 910 in front and back. However, during implementation, since there are many structural types of the feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452 , the implementation is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation.

[0045] The carrying module 46 is disposed in the recycling processing section 30 and between the feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452, and can be used to carry the section to be processed 910 of the photovoltaic panel body 900. In the present embodiment, the top surface of the carrying module 46 is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 460, and is used to be connected to a suction device (not shown), which can be driven by the suction device to generate a downward negative pressure suction force in the adsorption holes 460, and the section to be processed 910 can be driven downward against its top surface by the negative pressure suction force, and then the section to be processed 910 can be driven to be flat in cooperation with the feed conveying unit 451 and the discharge conveying unit 452. However, during implementation, the carrying module 46 can also position the section to be processed 910 carried by the carrying module 46 in a fixed position by other means, such as by clamping with a movable clamp to drive the section to be processed 910 to be flat against its top surface. Since the carrying module 46 can be used to drive the carried section 910 to be flat and against each other in many ways, the implementation is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , 2 4. The recycling processing mechanism 5 includes a recycling driving module 51 installed on the frame mechanism 3 and located above the carrying module 46, and four recycling processing modules 52 and two suction modules 53 installed on the recycling driving module 51.

[0047] See also Figure 2 , 7 8, the recovery drive module 51 includes a slide rail unit 511 installed on a mounting frame 31 of the frame mechanism 3 and extending left and right along the processing direction 803, a movable seat 513 installed upright on the slide rail unit 511 and for the recovery processing module 52 and the suction module 53 to be installed, and a first drive unit 514 installed on the frame mechanism 3 and connected to the movable seat 513. The slide rail unit 511 has four slide rails 512 extending left and right and symmetrically arranged at intervals from top to bottom and left to right on the frame mechanism 3. The movable seat 513 is mounted on the slide rail 512 and can be moved left and right.

[0048] The first driving unit 514 includes a first driver 515 installed on the frame mechanism 3, a guide rail 516 installed on the moving seat 513 and extending up and down along the knife moving direction 802, and a swing arm 517 installed between the first driver 515 and the guide rail 516. The swing arm 517 has a connecting end 518 installed on the first driver 515, and a swing end 519 pivotally mounted on the guide rail 516 coaxially with the conveying direction 801. The first driver 515 is composed of a motor and a reduction gear assembly, which can be used to drive the swing arm 517 to rotate, so that the swing end 519 of the swing arm 517 pivots relative to the guide rail 516 and moves up and down along the guide rail 516.

[0049] See also Figure 2 , 9 10. When the swing arm 517 is driven by the first driver 515 to rotate and swing, and moves up and down along the guide rail 516, it will drive the movable seat 513 to move left and right along the slide rail 512, thereby driving the recycling processing module 52 to move along the processing direction 803 to the first position (such as Figure 2 ) and the second position (as shown Fig.10 In this embodiment, when the swing arm 517 is driven to rotate 360 ​​degrees from the horizontal state, it will just drive the recycling module 52 to move back and forth between the first position and the second position once.

[0050] When the recycling module 52 is driven to move between the first position and the second position, the recycling module 52 moves left and right along the processed section 910 of the photovoltaic panel body 900, and performs physical recycling processing on four left and right sections of the processed section 910 respectively.

[0051] The recycling processing modules 52 and the suction modules 53 are arranged in a left-right spacing arrangement along the processing direction 803 on the movable seat 513, and are located in the recycling processing area 30, and the spacing is located above the carrying module 46. Since the recycling processing modules 52 have the same structure and the suction modules 53 have the same structure, the following only takes one of the recycling processing modules 52 and one of the suction modules 53 as an example for structural description.

[0052] See also Figure 2 , 78, the recycling module 52 includes a base 520 installed on the moving base 513, a tool holder 521 spaced below the base 520 in the tool moving direction 802, a tool unit 522 installed on the tool holder 521, and a second driving unit 524 installed between the base 520 and the tool holder 521. The tool unit 522 has a tool head 523 that can be used to perform the physical recycling process on the to-be-processed section 910. In this example, the tool head 523 is a milling tool head, but in other embodiments of the present invention, it can also be a grinding tool head.

[0053] The second driving unit 524 includes a guide unit 525 installed on the base 520 and connected to the knife seat 521 so as to be displaceable up and down along the knife moving direction 802, a screw rod 527 extending along the knife moving direction 802 and threadedly penetrating the base 520 and connected to the knife seat 521 at its bottom end, a connecting seat 528 spanning between the guide unit 525 and the top end of the screw rod 527, and a second driver 529 installed on the connecting seat 528 and connected to the screw rod 527. The guide unit 525 has two guide rods 526 extending up and down and penetrating the base 520 so as to be displaceable up and down and connected between the knife seat 521 and the connecting seat 528.

[0054] The second driver 529 is a servo motor, which can be used to drive the screw rod 527 to rotate relative to the base 520 and move up and down along the tool moving direction 802, thereby driving the tool holder 521 to drive the tool unit 522 to move up and down along the guide rod 526, and change between a retracting position relatively far from the carrier module 46 and a forward position relatively close to the carrier module 46 and capable of milling the photovoltaic panel body 900. The second driver 529 can also be controlled to adjust the height of the forward position accordingly according to the height position of the layered part of the photovoltaic panel body 900 to be milled.

[0055] Related References Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the photovoltaic panel body 900 is physically recycled, the recycling module 52 is used to perform physical recycling operations on the back plate 903, the adhesive 904 between the back plate 903 and the silicon crystal plate 902, the silicon crystal plate 902, and the adhesive 904 between the silicon crystal plate 902 and the glass cover plate 901 layer by layer, so the height of the feed position of the cutter unit 522 is gradually lowered during the processing. The adjustment method of the feed position of the cutter unit 522 will be described later.

[0056] See also Figure 7 , 1112, each suction module 53 includes a transfer unit 531 installed on the movable base 513, and a suction cover 534 installed on the transfer unit 531 and opening downward. The suction cover 534 has a cover body 535 that is annularly arranged outside the two corresponding tool units 522.

[0057] The transfer unit 531 includes a transfer track 532 which is installed on the moving seat 513 and extends up and down along the knife moving direction 802 and for installing the suction hood 534, and a transfer driver 533 which is installed and connected between the moving seat 513 and the suction hood 534. The transfer driver 533 can be used to drive the suction hood 534 to move up and down along the transfer track 532 between a disengagement position located above the corresponding cutter head 523 and a suction position where the cover body 535 is downwardly covered outside the corresponding cutter head 523. The suction hood 534 can be used to be connected and assembled with a suction device, and can be driven by the suction device to suck the scraps generated during the physical recycling process, and at the same time generate a heat dissipation airflow flowing through the cutter head 523, which helps to cool the cutter head 523.

[0058] See also Figure 4 , 5 6. When the recycling device 200 of the present invention is used to perform physical recycling of the photovoltaic panel body 900, it will be connected to a control device (not shown) by signal, and the control device will control the action according to a received physical recycling parameter. The physical recycling parameter is, for example, but not limited to, the height of the bottom surface of the back plate 903 relative to the top surface of the glass cover plate 901, the height of the bottom surface of the silicon crystal plate 902 relative to the top surface of the glass cover plate 901, and the thickness of the glass cover plate 901.

[0059] In addition, when the recycling processing device 200 performs the physical recycling process, it can be controlled to perform a step-by-step physical recycling process or a continuous physical recycling process.

[0060] When the step-by-step physical recycling process is controlled, the photovoltaic panel body 900 is horizontally inserted into the feed guide groove 410 in the conveying direction 801 with the back plate 903 facing upward, and the guiding module 42 is driven to guide the photovoltaic panel body 900 left and right. Then, the feeding conveying unit 451 is intermittently conveyed in sections in the conveying direction 801, so that the photovoltaic panel body 900 is moved to the recycling processing area 30 section by section to form the to-be-processed section 910. Then, when the conveying module 45 stops conveying the photovoltaic panel body 900, the carrying module 46 is caused to suck and position the carried to-be-processed section 910 downward.

[0061] See also Figure 2 , 3, 9, 10, then, control to start the tool unit 522, and make each second drive unit 524 drive the corresponding tool unit 522 to move down to the feed position at the height of the back plate 903, and drive the first drive unit 514 to start action, drive the recycling module 52 to move synchronously from the first position to the second position, and start synchronous milling of the back plate 903 of the section to be processed 910. At the same time, drive the transfer unit 531 to drive the suction hood 534 to move downward to the suction position close to the top surface of the section to be processed 910, and the hood is covered outside the tool head 523, and starts to suck the chips generated by milling under the drive of the suction device.

[0062] Whenever the recycling processing module 52 is driven to move from one of the first position and the second position to the other, the feed position of the tool unit 522 is adjusted downward, so that the tool head 523 of the tool unit 522 moves downward to the height position where the layered structure to be milled of the photovoltaic panel body 900 is located. Then, the recycling processing module 52 is driven to move between the first position and the second position once again to continue the milling process, which can be used to mill and recycle the back plate 903, the adhesive 904 and the silicon wafer 902 located in the section to be processed 910 layer by layer.

[0063] When the to-be-processed section 910 is milled into a residual material section 920 consisting of a local portion of the glass cover plate 901 and the residual adhesive 904, the second driving unit 524 moves the tool unit 522 upward to the tool retraction position (such as Figure 4 As shown), the suction hood 534 is moved upward synchronously, and the supporting module 46 releases the adsorbed residual material section 920.

[0064] Then, the feed conveying unit 451 is operated again to convey the photovoltaic panel body 900 backward, and the residual material section 920 is moved backward through the recycling processing section 30, so that the photovoltaic panel body 900 is moved to the recycling processing section 30 to form a new section to be processed 910. At this time, the discharge conveying unit 452 will begin to clamp the residual material section 920 moved out of the recycling processing section 30 backward, and will cooperate with the feed conveying unit 451 to stretch the newly formed section to be processed 910. Then, the recycling processing mechanism 5 is used to perform the physical recycling process on the section to be processed 910 again according to the above-mentioned recycling operation method to produce a new residual material section 920.

[0065] By repeatedly performing the above physical recycling process, the back plate 903, adhesive 904 and silicon wafer 902 of the photovoltaic panel body 900 can be recycled step by step, and the cover plate residue of the glass cover plate 901 with a complete sheet structure can be obtained.

[0066] When the continuous physical recycling process is controlled, the conveying module 45 will continuously convey the photovoltaic panel body 900 in the conveying direction 801 at a predetermined speed, and the tool unit 522 will be kept at the feeding position, and the recycling processing module 52 will continuously move back and forth between the first position and the second position to perform milling, so that the continuously formed section to be processed 910 will be processed into the residual material section 920. When the photovoltaic panel body 900 is continuously conveyed, the conveying speed difference between the discharge conveying unit 452 and the feed conveying unit 451 will still be used to support the section to be processed 910 forward and backward, and the negative pressure suction force generated by the supporting module 46 will be used to drive the section to be processed 910 downward and flatly against it.

[0067] When the glass cover plate 901 of the photovoltaic panel body 900 is broken before recycling, and the photovoltaic panel body 900 is in a limp state, the design of the carrying module 46 to carry and adsorb and position the section to be processed 910 can be used to flatly position the section to be processed 910 in the recycling processing area 30, and the aforementioned physical recycling process can also be performed. In addition, the broken glass cover plate 901 in the residual material section 920 generated by recycling will still be covered with a layer of residual adhesive 904, so even if the residual material section 920 is transferred out of the recycling processing area 30, the broken glass cover plate 901 will not immediately fall apart.

[0068] In this embodiment, a total of four recycling processing modules 52 are provided. Each time milling is performed, the recycling processing module 52 is displaced to the left and right by a specific distance to respectively mill and process specific areas of the to-be-processed section 910, so as to cooperate and complete the physical recycling of the to-be-processed section 910, thereby shortening the recycling processing time. However, during implementation, the number of the recycling processing modules 52 can be increased or decreased according to demand. For example, in another embodiment of the present invention, only a single recycling processing module 52 can be provided, and the recycling processing module 52 is moved horizontally to the left and right across the to-be-processed section 910 to perform physical recycling processing, thereby reducing equipment costs.

[0069] In addition, during implementation, in other embodiments of the present invention, the speed at which the feed conveying unit 451 conveys the photovoltaic panel body 900 and the speed at which the discharge conveying unit 452 conveys the residual material section 920 may also be designed to be the same.

[0070] In summary, through the structural design of the conveying module 45 and the supporting module 46 of the feeding mechanism 4, and the structural design of the recycling drive module 51 and the recycling processing module 52 of the recycling processing mechanism 5, the photovoltaic panel body 900 of the solar cell module can be physically recycled section by section. In addition to being used to recycle the back panel 903, the adhesive 904 and the silicon crystal panel 902 layer by layer, the cover plate residue of the glass cover plate 901 with a complete sheet structure can also be obtained, and the front and rear dimensions of the entire recycling processing device 200 can also be greatly reduced.

[0071] The recycling processing time can be greatly shortened by further providing a plurality of the recycling processing modules 52 and making the recycling processing modules 52 synchronously perform physical recycling processing on the corresponding parts in the section to be processed 910 respectively.

[0072] In addition, the design of the supporting module 46 for adsorbing and positioning the to-be-processed section 910 of the photovoltaic panel body 900 makes the recycling device 200 of the present invention also applicable to the physical recycling of the photovoltaic panel body 900 whose glass cover 901 has been broken.

[0073] Therefore, the recycling device 200 for recycling the photovoltaic panel body of the solar cell module of the present invention is indeed a very innovative and convenient and practical creation, and can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0074] The above are only embodiments of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and description of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
