[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] The typesetting stack welding machine of the present invention comprises a workbench 1, on which a feeding conveyor belt 2 is provided, on which a blanking platform 6 and a hollow welding station 26 are respectively provided, a welding mechanism 10 and a welding strip feeding mechanism 11 are provided next to the welding station 26, and a lifting conveyor frame 9 is provided below the welding station 26, and further comprises a feeding suction cup group 4, wherein the feeding suction cup group 4 is installed above the feeding conveyor belt 2 and the blanking platform 6 through a three-axis slide 3, and further comprises a blanking suction cup group 8, wherein the blanking suction cup group 8 is installed above the blanking platform 6 and the welding station 26 through a two-axis slide 7; the solar cell 5 is delivered to the feeding position of the workbench 1 via the feeding conveyor belt 2, and the feeding suction cup group 4 moves to the top of the feeding conveyor belt 2 through the three-axis slide 3, and the three-axis slide 3 comprises an X-axis slide 12, a Y-axis slide 13 and a Z-axis slide The slide 14 completes the up and down, left and right, and front and back movements of the loading suction cup group 4 respectively; the loading suction cup group 4 descends to absorb the solar cell 5 and then sends it to the blanking table 6 through the three-axis slide 3. During the loading process of the loading suction cup group 4, it can move left and right and rotate to complete the posture adjustment of the solar cell 5. The loading action of the loading suction cup group 4 is always maintained. The blanking suction cup group 8 removes the solar cell 5 from the blanking table 6 through the two-axis slide 7 and sends it to the welding station 26 to complete the action of welding the solar cell into a solar cell panel. After welding is completed, the detection and material receiving actions are completed by the lifting conveyor frame 9; since the loading action and the welding action are independent actions, the welding action does not need to wait for the loading action to be completed, so the production efficiency of the solar cell panel is greatly improved.

[0027] The feeding suction cup group 4 includes a motor 15, a motor 16, a rotating bracket 17, a suction cup module 18 and a roller 19. The rotating shaft of the motor 15 is connected to the rotating bracket 17. The body of the motor 16 is installed on the rotating bracket 17 and the rotating shaft is rollingly matched with the slide bar 24 through the roller 19. The suction cup module 18 can be slidably matched with the slide bar 24. The body of the motor 15 is connected to the moving end of the three-axis slide table 3; the motor 15 can drive the rotating bracket 17 to drive the suction cup module 18 to rotate, and the motor 16 can drive the slide bar 24 to move left and right through the roller 19, thereby realizing the posture adjustment action of the solar cell being transported. The number of the suction cup module 18 can be multiple, and the position and adsorption range of the suction cup module 18 can be adjusted to adapt to solar cells of different sizes.

[0028] The blanking suction cup group 8 includes a mounting frame 25 and a suction cup module 2 33. The mounting frame 25 is connected to the moving end of the two-axis slide 7, and the suction cup module 2 33 can slide with the mounting frame 25. Since the solar cells placed on the blanking table 6 have been regularly arranged after posture adjustment, the blanking suction cup group 8 can complete the lifting and lowering movements and the forward and backward movements through the two-axis slide 7.

[0029] The suction cup module 2 33 has the same structure as the suction cup module 18; the suction cup module 18 includes a base 20, a suction cup bracket 21, a connecting piece 22 and a suction cup unit 23, the suction cup unit 23 can be slidably matched with the suction cup bracket 21, adjacent suction cup brackets 21 are connected by the connecting piece 22, the suction cup bracket 21 is installed on the base 20, and the base 20 is slidably matched with the sliding rod 24; the connecting piece 22 is a retractable connecting piece, and both ends of the connecting piece 22 can be connected to the suction cup units 23 on the adjacent suction cup modules 18. The position of the suction cup unit 23 on the suction cup bracket 21 and the spacing between adjacent suction cup brackets 21 can be adjusted, so that solar cells of different lengths and widths can be better adapted to ensure a stable adsorption effect, and the adjustment efficiency of the suction cup unit 23 is greatly improved without the need for disassembly and reinstallation; taking the suction cup module 18 as an example, the connecting piece 22 can be an X-shaped connecting piece, the center point of the X-shaped connecting piece can be rotated, the two points on the left side of the X-shaped connecting piece are connected to the two suction cup units 23 of the suction cup module 18 on one side, and the two points on the right side are connected to the suction cup unit 23 of the suction cup module 18 on the other side; the connecting piece structures used by the suction cup module 18 and the suction cup module 2 33 are both X-shaped connecting pieces.

[0030] The lifting conveyor frame 9 includes a lifting cylinder 27, a frame 28, a plurality of conveyor belts 30 and a clamping member 31. The frame 28 is provided with a conveyor belt 30. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 27 is installed on the frame 28. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 27 is connected to the clamping member 31. The clamping member 31 is located between adjacent conveyor belts 30. Conductive contacts 29 are respectively provided at both ends of the conveyor belt 30. A camera 32 is provided between adjacent conveyor belts 30. The height of the camera 32 is lower than the height of the conveyor belt 30. The height of the conveyor belt 30 is lower than the height of the welding mechanism 10. When the solar cell 5 moves to the welding station 26, the lifting cylinder 27 drives the clamping member 31 to rise to a height exceeding the height of the conveyor belt 30. The clamping member 31 is located at the welding station 26 to catch the solar cell on the blanking suction cup group 8, and then the welding is completed through the welding station 26. During the welding process, the welding tape feeding mechanism 11 provides welding tape transportation for the welding mechanism 10. After the welding is completed, the clamping member 31 descends so that the welded solar cell panel falls on the conveyor belt 30. The solar cell panel contacts the conductive contact 29, and the camera 32 takes a picture of the surface of the solar cell panel, thereby completing the testing and sorting of the solar cell panel. After completion, the conveyor belt 30 is used to complete the transportation and sorting.
