The fork frame assembly is driven by the sliding arm to transfer the bundled brackets or photovoltaic panels on the transport vehicle to the bearing platform, thereby improving the material transfer efficiency, shortening the operation time, and eliminating the need for other lifting equipment, thereby reducing costs.

[0004] In order to meet the requirement of installing photovoltaic panels by directly adsorbing the suction cup, the patent application requires the following steps:

[0005] The first step is to use the fork frame assembly to fork the box to the ground;

[0007] The third step is to fork the horizontal photovoltaic panel to the carrying platform through the fork frame assembly;

[0008] The fourth step is to use the suction cup at the front end of the boom to directly absorb and lift the photovoltaic panel to the mounting bracket for installation.

[0009] The second step of this method requires manual or mechanical flipping, which increases the difficulty of construction and reduces work efficiency. Summary of the invention:

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a photovoltaic panel shipping and installation vehicle, which solves the technical problem that manual or mechanical flipping is required during shipping, which increases the construction difficulty and reduces the work efficiency.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following examples so that the public can better understand the implementation method of the present invention. The specific implementation scheme of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] The photovoltaic panel transporting and installation vehicle comprises a traveling chassis 1, a frame 2 is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the traveling chassis 1, a bearing platform 3 is arranged on the upper part of the traveling chassis 1 on one side of the frame 2, the bearing platform 3 is arranged in a concave-shaped structure, a fork frame assembly 5 is arranged at the opening of the bearing platform 3, and the two sides of the fork frame assembly 5 are connected to the traveling chassis 1 in an articulated structure manner; the traveling chassis 1 is provided with a driving mechanism A4 for driving the fork frame assembly 5 to rotate, and the two ends of the driving mechanism A4 are respectively articulated with the traveling chassis 1 and the fork frame assembly 5; the frame 2 is provided with a lifting arm 6 in a rotating structure manner for lifting photovoltaic panels; the fork frame assembly 5 is driven to flip by the driving mechanism A4 to realize the conversion of bundled photovoltaic panels from a side-standing state to a horizontal state and place them above the bearing platform, so as to facilitate the subsequent lifting arm 6 to install the photovoltaic panels using a suction cup, thereby simplifying the work process and improving the transportation efficiency.

[0038] It should be noted that the lifting arm 6 is a folding arm or a telescopic arm, and a suction cup 9 is provided at the end of the folding arm or the telescopic arm for sucking the photovoltaic panel for installation.

[0039] The following two embodiments of the fork frame assembly 5 are respectively described:

[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] The fork frame assembly 5 includes an outer door frame 51, the lower part of the outer door frame 51 is hingedly connected to the walking chassis 1 and the driving mechanism A4 through a hinge seat, the outer door frame 51 is provided with a driving mechanism C52, the other end of the driving mechanism C52 is connected with an inner door frame 53, the inner door frame 53 is connected to the outer door frame 51 in a sliding structure, a fork frame 54 is provided on the outer side of the inner door frame 53, and two forks 55 are hung on the fork frame 54 in a sliding structure. The driving mechanism C52 drives the inner door frame 53 to move up and down along the outer door frame 51, and then drives the fork frame 54 to adjust to a suitable height, so that the materials can be picked up and placed conveniently and quickly.

[0042] Embodiment 2:

[0043] On the basis of the second embodiment, when the fork 55 needs to fork the photovoltaic panel at a high position of the truck, since the distance between the stacked photovoltaic panel boxes is generally 5-10 cm, if the insertion is not accurate, the photovoltaic panel will be damaged; while in the first embodiment, a slight rotation of the fork frame assembly 5 will cause the fork 55 away from the hinge point to swing to a large extent, thereby increasing the difficulty of inserting the bottom of the photovoltaic panel and making the operation difficult.

[0044] The solution of this embodiment is as follows: a tilting gantry 56 is provided in the inner gantry 53 in a sliding structure, and the tilting gantry 56 is connected to the fork frame 54 in an articulated structure; the tilting gantry 56 is provided with a driving mechanism B57 for driving the fork frame 54 to rotate around a hinge point in an articulated structure, and the driving mechanism B57 is connected to the fork frame 54 in an articulated structure;

[0045] The driving mechanism B57 drives the tilting gantry 56 to rotate around the intersection point, thereby adjusting the angle between the fork 55 and the horizontal plane, so that the fork 55 can be more accurately placed at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel box during operation, greatly simplifying the operation difficulty and reducing invalid movement time to meet the lifting work under complex terrain.

[0046] It should be explained that the drive mechanism A4, the drive mechanism B57 and the drive mechanism C52 are hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders.

[0047] Specifically, in Example 1 and Example 2, the outer mast 51 and the inner mast 53 are provided with a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism includes a chain 9 and a steering wheel 8. The steering wheel 8 is connected to the inner mast 53 in a rotating structure. One end of the chain 9 is connected to the outer mast 51, and the other end passes through the steering wheel 8 and is connected to the tilt mast 56 or the fork frame 54. When the inner mast 53 moves upward, the tilt mast 56 is pulled upward by the transmission belt or chain 7.

[0048] The working principle and working process of the present invention are described below with reference to the second embodiment of the fork frame assembly 5:

[0049] Park the equipment beside the vehicle carrying the photovoltaic panels, start the hydraulic cylinder 4, drive the fork frame assembly 5 to rotate around the hinge point, and Figure 1 The state transitions to Figure 2 State, start the hydraulic cylinder 52, the hydraulic cylinder 52 pushes the inner door frame 53 to move upward, at the same time, the steering wheel 8 pulls the transmission belt 7 to move upward, and then the other end of the transmission belt 7 pulls the tilting door frame 56 to move upward, and the tilting door frame 56 drives the fork frame 54 and the fork 55 to move upward until the fork 55 is located under the material, and the hydraulic cylinder 52 is stopped.

[0050] Since the installation environment of photovoltaic panels is generally remote, the photovoltaic panel shipping and installation vehicle is often located on an inclined surface, while the transport vehicle is located on a horizontal surface. This will cause the fork 55 to be unable to be directly inserted into the bottom of the photovoltaic panel box. It is necessary to adjust the angle of the fork 55 and start the hydraulic cylinder 57 to rotate the fork frame 54 around the hinge point with the tilting gantry 56, thereby adjusting the fork 55 to be parallel to the photovoltaic panel box.

[0051] The traveling chassis 1 is started to approach the vehicle, and at the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 52 is retracted to adjust the height of the fork 55 to ensure that the truck 55 can be smoothly inserted between the two photovoltaic panel boxes to carry out forklift transportation of the upper photovoltaic panel box.

[0052] After the forks are lifted, the photovoltaic panel transport and installation vehicle moves backwards, and lowers the forks 55, then starts the hydraulic cylinder 4 to drive the fork frame assembly 5 to rotate inwards, and flips the photovoltaic panel box to the bearing platform for placement.

[0053] Then the walking chassis 1 is used to transport the materials to the construction site, and the photovoltaic panels are hoisted to the construction frame by the telescopic boom 6 using the suction cup 9 to carry out the installation work.

[0054] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "lower left", "upper right", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
