Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of solid waste treatment equipment, and particularly relates to an automated device for removing the frames of waste photovoltaic modules. Background Art

[0002] A photovoltaic module, also known as a solar cell module, is a smallest indivisible combined device of solar cells that has encapsulation and internal connection and can provide direct current output independently.

[0003] The encapsulation materials of photovoltaic modules generally include an upper cover plate, an adhesive, a bottom plate, and a frame. The upper cover plate covers the front of the solar cells, forming the outermost layer of the module. It needs to be light-transmitting, strong, resistant to wind, frost, rain, and snow, and withstand the impact of sand and hail. The materials of the upper cover plate include tempered glass, polypropylene resin, fluorinated ethylene propylene, polycarbonate, etc. The adhesive is a key material for fixing the solar cells and ensuring the tight fit of the upper and lower cover plates. Generally, it is required to have high light transmittance, resistance to ultraviolet aging; have a certain elasticity to buffer the thermal expansion and contraction between different materials; have good electrical insulation performance and chemical stability, and do not produce harmful gases or liquids itself; have excellent airtightness to prevent the intrusion of external moisture or harmful gases. Currently, EVA adhesive is mostly selected as the adhesive. The bottom plate is used to protect and support the cells. Generally, it is required to have good weather resistance, be able to isolate the moisture coming in from the back; not change at all under the lamination temperature; be firmly bonded to the bonding material. Currently, the materials selected for the bottom plate generally include those containing glass, aluminum alloy, and plexiglass. The frame refers to the frame of the flat module to protect the module and facilitate the connection and fixation of the module to the array bracket. The frame and the adhesive form a seal for the edge of the module. Currently, materials such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, rubber, and reinforced plastics are mostly selected. The frame is generally set in a quadrilateral structure, which covers the four sides of the photovoltaic panel. When the photovoltaic module is retired, the frame needs to be separated from the photovoltaic panel for recycling.

[0004] In the prior art, the disassembly of the frame is mostly carried out manually by workers, which does not meet the automation requirements in modern production. Therefore, a highly automated frame disassembly mechanism is needed to replace manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an automated device for removing the frames of waste photovoltaic modules.

[0006] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An automated device for removing the frame of waste photovoltaic modules, comprising a frame, and a transmission mechanism, a fixing mechanism and a removing mechanism mounted on the frame; the transmission mechanism is horizontally arranged and transports the photovoltaic module to the middle position of the frame; the fixing mechanism is arranged in the vertical direction at the middle position of the frame and clamps the solar panel of the photovoltaic module vertically; the removing mechanism extends into the area surrounded by the frame of the photovoltaic module and peels off the frame from the solar panel by horizontal movement.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: The frame includes a lower bracket and an upper bracket assembled vertically as a whole, and the lower bracket is provided with rollers and shock-proof foot cups.

[0008] The transmission mechanism includes a pair of rollers mounted on the frame, and two belts with a spacing less than the width of the solar panel are sleeved on the rollers at intervals, and one of the rollers is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0009] The fixing mechanism includes a lower clamping unit located below the transmission mechanism and an upper clamping unit located above the transmission mechanism, and the two clamp the solar panel of the photovoltaic module vertically by moving towards each other.

[0010] The lower clamping unit includes a lifting mechanism fixed to the frame, the output shaft of the lifting mechanism is connected to a lower clamping member, and the lower clamping member pushes the solar panel upwards to closely fit the upper clamping unit.

[0011] The lower clamping member includes a first mounting frame, and two lower pressing plates are slidably mounted on the first mounting frame.

[0012] The lower clamping member further includes a first driver fixed to the first mounting frame, and the first driver is respectively connected to the two lower pressing plates and is used to drive them to move in opposite directions.

[0013] The upper clamping unit includes a second mounting frame, and two upper pressing plates are slidably mounted on the second mounting frame.

[0014] The upper clamping unit further includes a second driver fixed to the second mounting frame, and the second driver is respectively connected to the two upper pressing plates and is used to drive them to move in opposite directions.

[0015] The removing mechanism includes a first driving component and a second driving component fixed to the frame, the first driving component is connected to a pair of first pushing members, the second driving component is connected to a pair of second pushing members, and the pushing members all extend into the area surrounded by the frame; the first pushing members push a pair of frames in opposite directions under the drive of the first driving component, and the second pushing members push the other pair of frames in opposite directions under the drive of the second driving component.

[0016] The automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device further includes a centering mechanism disposed below the photovoltaic module and used to move the photovoltaic module to the middle position of the frame; the centering mechanism includes a pair of limiting arms, which are driven by a centering driver to move in opposite directions in the horizontal plane. One end of the limiting arm abuts against the side of the photovoltaic module, and the other end is slidably connected to a straight rail, and the straight rail is connected to the fixing mechanism.

[0017] The automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device further includes a glue scraping mechanism for removing the glue adhered to the edge of the photovoltaic module; the glue scraping mechanism includes slide rails fixed on the frame along the side of the photovoltaic module, and sliding seats are installed on the slide rails. The sliding seats are driven by a sliding drive mechanism to move on the slide rails; a first scraper assembly and a second scraper assembly, which can approach or depart from each other and are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic module, are further connected to the sliding seats.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: By providing a transmission mechanism, a centering mechanism, a fixing mechanism and a removal mechanism, the automated frame removal operation of the photovoltaic module can be realized, thereby effectively improving the automation degree in the production process and liberating the labor force. By providing a centering mechanism for moving the photovoltaic module to the middle position of the frame, during the removal operation, the first pushing member and the second pushing member can apply substantially the same thrust to the opposite side frame, thereby avoiding the situation that the opposite side frame cannot be separated from the solar panel or is excessively deformed due to uneven force. Moreover, the structure and operation of the centering mechanism are relatively simple. Especially after connecting the straight rail to the fixing mechanism, it can ensure that the relative position of the centering mechanism and the fixing mechanism is basically unchanged and always remains in the middle of the frame. In this way, it is more conducive to reducing the error when pushing the photovoltaic module to the middle position of the frame, so that the force on the frame during the removal operation is more uniform.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the specification drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment As Figures 1 to 17As shown in the figure, the automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, and a transmission mechanism 2, a fixing mechanism 3, and a removal mechanism 4 installed on the frame 1. The transmission mechanism 2 is horizontally arranged and transports the photovoltaic module 01 to the middle position of the frame 1. The fixing mechanism 3 is arranged in the vertical direction at the middle position of the frame 1 and clamps the solar panel 011 of the photovoltaic module 01 vertically. The removal mechanism 4 extends into the area surrounded by the frame 012 of the photovoltaic module 01 and peels off the frame 012 from the solar panel 011 by horizontal movement. The photovoltaic module 01 includes a rectangular solar panel 011, and its edges are enclosed by a rectangular frame 012. The horizontally arranged transmission mechanism 2 is installed at the middle position of the frame 1. The photovoltaic module 01 is placed at the input end of the transmission mechanism 2 and transported to the middle position of the frame 1 (i.e., the frame removal station) by it. At this time, a part of the fixing mechanism 3 is located directly above the photovoltaic module 01, and the other part is located directly below the photovoltaic module 01. The two parts of the fixing mechanism 3 move towards each other vertically and firmly clamp the solar panel 011 of the photovoltaic module 01. In this state, the removal mechanism 4 extends into the area surrounded by the frame 012 of the photovoltaic module 01. A part of the removal mechanism 4 moves in the horizontal plane in the reverse direction along the short side direction of the frame 012 to push the two long sides of the frame 012, and the other part moves in the horizontal plane in the reverse direction along the long side direction of the frame 012 to push the two short sides of the frame 012. Under the pushing action of the removal mechanism 4, the two long sides and the two short sides of the frame 012 are respectively peeled off from the solar panel 011, thus realizing the removal of the frame 012. Moreover, after the frame 012 is removed, the two parts of the fixing mechanism 3 move in the reverse direction to reset, and the solar panel 011 returns to the transmission mechanism 2 again and is transported to the output end by it. In this embodiment, by setting the transmission mechanism 2, the fixing mechanism 3, and the removal mechanism 4, the automated frame removal operation of the photovoltaic module 01 can be realized, thereby effectively improving the automation degree in the production process and liberating the labor force.

[0023] In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a lower bracket 11 and an upper bracket 12 assembled vertically to form an integral body. The lower bracket 11 is provided with rollers 111 and shock-proof foot cups 112. The frame 1 is set as a cubic frame structure, which is assembled by the lower bracket 11 located below and the upper bracket 12 located above. An installation platform 113 is formed in the middle of the lower bracket 11, and this installation platform 113 provides an installation basis for the fixing mechanism 3. Moreover, a roller 111 is installed at each of the four corners of the lower bracket 11 to improve the mobility of the automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device. At the same time, six shock-proof foot cups 112 are also installed on the lower bracket 11 at intervals. After the automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device moves to the designated position, the shock-proof foot cups 112 are pushed downward to abut against the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the automated waste photovoltaic module frame removal device.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a pair of rollers 21 installed on the frame 1. Two belts 22 with a spacing smaller than the width of the solar panel 011 are sleeved on the rollers 21 at intervals. One of the rollers 21 is driven to rotate by a motor 23. The two rollers 21 are fixed above the lower bracket 11 through a mounting seat 24 and are located on the same horizontal plane. One of the rollers 21 is connected to the motor 23 to serve as the driving shaft. Two belts 22 are sleeved on the two rollers 21 at the same time, and a gap for the fixing mechanism 3 to pass through is formed between the two belts 22. When the photovoltaic module 01 is horizontally placed on the two belts 22, the two long sides of the frame 012 exactly coincide with the two belts 22. When the motor 23 drives the roller 21 connected thereto to rotate, the belt 22 drives the photovoltaic module 01 to move to the middle position of the frame 1 (i.e., the frame removal station). After the frame 012 is removed, since the spacing between the two belts 22 is smaller than the width of the solar panel 011, the solar panel 011 after the frame 012 is removed can still be carried by the belt 22 and moved out of the frame removal station through the belt 22.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a lower clamping unit 31 located below the transmission mechanism 2 and an upper clamping unit 32 located above the transmission mechanism 2. The two clamp the solar panel 011 of the photovoltaic module 01 vertically by moving towards each other. Specifically, the lower clamping unit 31 includes a lifting mechanism 311 fixed to the frame 1. The output shaft of the lifting mechanism 311 is connected to the lower clamping member 312. The lower clamping member 312 pushes the solar panel 011 upward to closely fit the upper clamping unit 32. The lifting mechanism 311 is arranged on the mounting table 113 and includes a turbine lifter 3111 with two output shafts facing upward and connected to the lower clamping member 312, and a servo motor 3112 connected to the two turbine lifters 3111. When the servo motor 3112 is started, the output shaft of the turbine lifter 3111 can drive the lower clamping member 312 to move vertically. The width of the lower clamping member 312 is smaller than the distance between the two belts 22. When the lower clamping member 312 is driven by the lifting mechanism 311 to move upward, it can pass through between the two belts 22 and push the solar panel 011 upward. The lower clamping member 312 includes a first mounting frame 3121, and two lower pressing plates 3122 are slidably mounted on the first mounting frame 3121. The lower clamping member 312 further includes a first driver 3123 fixed to the first mounting frame 3121. The first driver 3123 is respectively connected to the two lower pressing plates 3122 and is used to drive them to move in opposite directions. The first mounting frame 3121 includes a first support plate 31211 arranged at the bottom and connected to the two output shafts of the lifting mechanism 311. Two first guide rails 31212 are arranged in parallel on the upper surface of the first support plate 31211. The length directions of the two first guide rails 31212 are consistent with the transmission direction of the belt 22. Four first sliders 31213 are arranged on each first guide rail 31212. The two lower pressing plates 3122 distributed along the length direction of the first guide rail 31212 are each fixed to the four first sliders 31213. A first driver 3123 is also mounted on the first support plate 31211, which includes a first driving motor 31231 fixed to the upper surface of the first support plate 31211 and a first lead screw 31232 driven to rotate by it. The two sections of the first lead screw 31232 have reverse threads and are connected to the two lower pressing plates 3122 through a first internal thread seat 31233. When the first driving motor 31231 is started, the first lead screw 31232 rotates, thereby driving the two lower pressing plates 3122 to move in opposite directions. Further, in order to prevent the short-side frame 012 after being removed from falling between the two belts 22, a support plate 3124 for filling the gap between the belts 22 is connected to the side surfaces of the two lower pressing plates 3122. The support plate 3124 is formed with a groove for avoiding the centering mechanism 6. The upper clamping unit 32 includes a second mounting frame 321, and two upper pressing plates 322 are slidably mounted on the second mounting frame 321.The upper clamping unit 32 further includes a second driver 323 fixed on the second mounting bracket 321. The second driver 323 is respectively connected to two upper pressing plates 322 and is used to drive them to move in opposite directions. The second mounting bracket 321 includes a second support plate 3211 arranged at the uppermost part and connected to the upper bracket 12. Two second guide rails 3212 are arranged in parallel on the lower surface of the second support plate 3211. The length direction of the two second guide rails 3212 is the same as the transmission direction of the belt 22. Four second sliders 3213 are arranged on each second guide rail 3212. Two upper pressing plates 322 distributed along the length direction of the second guide rail 3212 are each fixed to four second sliders 3213. A second driver 323 is also installed on the second support plate 3211, which includes a second driving motor 3231 fixed on the lower surface of the second support plate 3211 and a second lead screw 3232 driven by it to rotate. The two sections of the second lead screw 3232 have reverse threads and are connected to two upper pressing plates 322 through a second internal thread seat 3233. When the second driving motor 3231 is started, the second lead screw 3232 rotates, thereby driving the two upper pressing plates 322 to move in opposite directions. The lower pressing plate 3122 has the same size as the upper pressing plate 322 and always corresponds to it vertically. The operator can change the distance between the two lower pressing plates 3122 and the two upper pressing plates 322 according to the specific size of the photovoltaic module 01, especially the length of the photovoltaic module 01 along the transmission direction of the belt 22, so that the pressing plates can clamp at the appropriate position of the solar panel 011, thereby optimizing the force.

[0026] In this embodiment, the dismantling mechanism 4 includes a first drive assembly 41 and a second drive assembly 42 fixed on the frame 1, the first drive assembly 41 is connected to a pair of first pushing members 43, the second drive assembly 42 is connected to a pair of second pushing members 44, and the pushing members both extend into the area surrounded by the frame 012; the first pushing member 43 pushes a pair of frames 012 in the opposite direction under the drive of the first drive assembly 41, and the second pushing member 44 pushes another pair of frames 012 in the opposite direction under the drive of the second drive assembly 42. Specifically, the first drive assembly 41 includes a pair of third drive motors 411, each of which drives a third screw rod 412 connected thereto to rotate. The third screw rod 412 is connected to a pair of first pushing members 43 via a third inner wire seat 413, a third slider 414 is fixed on the first pushing member 43, and the third slider 414 is slidably connected to a third guide rail 415 fixed to the upper bracket 12, and the length direction of the third screw rod 412 and the third guide rail 415 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the belt 22. The second drive assembly 42 includes a pair of fourth drive motors 421, each of which drives a fourth screw rod 422 connected thereto to rotate. The fourth screw rod 422 is connected to a pair of second pushing members 44 via a fourth inner wire seat 423, and a fourth slider 424 is fixed on the second pushing member 44, and the fourth slider 424 is slidably connected to a fourth guide rail 425 fixed to the upper bracket 12, and the length direction of the fourth screw rod 422 and the fourth guide rail 425 is parallel to the transmission direction of the belt 22. When the photovoltaic module 01 is located at the frame removal station, the lower extrusion plate 3122 is lifted upward under the drive of the lifting mechanism 311, and after passing through the gap between the two belts 22, it pushes the solar panel 011 to move upward and finally fits tightly with the upper extrusion plate 322. During the upward movement of the photovoltaic module 01, the first pushing member 43 and the second pushing member 44 both extend into the area surrounded by the frame 012 (fitting the upper surface of the solar panel 011). When the third driving motor 411 is started, the third screw rod 412 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the first pushing member 43 connected to it via the third inner wire seat 413 to move in the opposite direction, exerting an outward pushing effect on the long side frame 012, thereby peeling it off from the solar panel 011; similarly, when the fourth driving motor 421 is started, the fourth screw rod 422 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the second pushing member 44 connected to it via the fourth inner wire seat 423 to move in the opposite direction, exerting an outward pushing effect on the short side frame 012, thereby peeling it off from the solar panel 011.

[0027] In this embodiment, a storage basket 5 is disposed around each of the four sides of the lower bracket 11 , and the removed frame 012 is pushed into the storage basket 5 by the first pushing member 43 and the second pushing member 44 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the automatic waste photovoltaic module frame removal device further includes a centering mechanism 6 disposed below the photovoltaic module 01 and used to move the photovoltaic module 01 to the middle position of the frame 1; the centering mechanism 6 includes a pair of limiting arms 61. The limiting arms 61 are driven by a centering driver 62 to move in the horizontal plane in opposite directions. One end of the limiting arm 61 abuts against the side of the photovoltaic module 01, and the other end thereof is slidably connected to a straight rail 63. The straight rail 63 is connected to the fixing mechanism 3. Specifically, there are two straight rails 63, and the two straight rails 63 are parallel and are both fixed on the mounting plate 64. The two limiting arms 61 are symmetrically distributed along the center of the mounting plate 64. One ends of the two limiting arms 61 are respectively engaged with a slewing gear 65 disposed at the exact center position of the mounting plate 64, and the other ends thereof are bent upward so as to be able to abut against the side of the photovoltaic module 01. The centering driver 62 is arranged as a telescopic cylinder and is fixed to the lower side of the mounting plate 64. The moving shaft of the centering driver 62 is connected to one of the limiting arms 61 through a connecting plate 66. Three lifting cylinders 67 are also arranged at intervals below the mounting plate 64, and the lifting cylinders 67 are fixed to the first support plate 31211 in the fixing mechanism 3. When centering is not required, the bent portions of the two limiting arms 61 are relatively far away from each other, and the distance therebetween is greater than the width of the photovoltaic module 01, and the lifting cylinders 67 are in a downward contracted state. When centering starts, the lifting cylinders 67 drive the mounting plate 64 to move upward until the upward bent portions of the limiting arms 61 are higher than the photovoltaic module 01. At this time, the moving shaft of the centering driver 62 makes a telescopic movement, and it drives one of the limiting arms 61 to slide along the straight rail 63 through the connecting plate 66. At this time, this limiting arm 61 drives the other limiting arm 61 to slide in the opposite direction along the straight rail 63 through the slewing gear 65. When the two limiting arms 61 move in opposite directions, they can push the photovoltaic module 01 towards the position where the slewing gear 65 is located. When the photovoltaic module 01 is clamped by the two limiting arms 61, it is exactly at the middle position of the frame 1 along the transmission direction of the transmission mechanism 2 to achieve centering. After centering is completed, the centering driver 62 moves in the reverse direction so that the bent portions of the two limiting arms 61 return to the relatively far-away position again, and then the lifting cylinders 67 contract downward to drive the centering mechanism 6 to disengage from the photovoltaic module 01.

[0029] In this embodiment, the automated equipment for removing the frame of waste photovoltaic modules further includes a glue scraping mechanism 7 for removing the adhesive on the edge of the photovoltaic module 01; the glue scraping mechanism 7 includes slide rails 71 fixed to the frame 1 along the side of the photovoltaic module 01, and slide seats 72 are installed on the slide rails 71. The slide seats 72 are driven by a sliding drive mechanism 73 to move on the slide rails 71; a first scraper assembly 74 and a second scraper assembly 75 are further connected to the slide seats 72, which can approach or depart from each other relatively and are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the photovoltaic module 01. Specifically, there are four slide rails 71, distributed along the four sides of the photovoltaic module 01, and the moving range of the slide seats 72 completely covers each side of the photovoltaic module 01. After the frame 012 of the photovoltaic module 01 is removed, the remaining part is the solar panel 011, and the frame 012 is glued to the periphery of the solar panel 011 with sealing glue. After the frame 012 is removed, the sealing glue left on the upper and lower sides around the solar panel 011 needs to be scraped off. By setting the glue scraping mechanism 7, it can lay a foundation for the subsequent recycling of the solar panel 011 for sorting.

[0030] Driven by the slide seat 72, the first scraper assembly 74 and the second scraper assembly 75 move synchronously to perform synchronous glue scraping operations on both surfaces of the photovoltaic module. The first scraper assembly 74 and the second scraper assembly 75 can approach or depart from each other relatively to contact or separate from the glue layers on both sides of the photovoltaic module. The first scraper assembly 74 and the second scraper assembly 75 can effectively scrape off the adhesive attached to the surface of the photovoltaic module, ensuring that the adhesive is completely removed while avoiding damage to the photovoltaic module body.

[0031] The glue scraping mechanism 7 further includes a telescopic assembly 76. The telescopic assembly 76 specifically includes a movable plate 761, a fixed plate 762, a sliding guide rail 763, and a telescopic driving member 764. The fixed plate 762 serves as the fixed end of the telescopic assembly 76 and is connected to the slide seat 72. The movable plate 761 serves as the movable end of the telescopic assembly 76, and both the first scraper assembly 74 and the second scraper assembly 75 are installed on the movable plate 761 and synchronously adjust their positions as the movable end moves. Driven by the telescopic driving member 764, the movable plate 761 moves on the sliding guide rail 763, that is, the movable end of the telescopic assembly 76 can move in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rail 71. Specifically, when the length direction of the slide rail 71 is parallel to the length direction of the photovoltaic panel, the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the slide rail 71 is the width direction of the photovoltaic panel, and vice versa. In this way, it can adapt to photovoltaic modules 01 of different sizes and shapes and more complex adhesive situations. In terms of implementation, the telescopic driving member 764 includes but is not limited to hydraulic / pneumatic cylinders, electric push rods, and screw nut mechanisms, etc.

[0032] The first scraper assembly 74 includes a first scraper holder 741, a first scraper 742, and a first roller 743. The first scraper holder 741 is installed on the movable end of the telescopic assembly 76, ensuring that the first scraper assembly 74 can adjust its position with the telescopic movement of the telescopic assembly 76 to meet the processing requirements of photovoltaic modules of different sizes or positions. Both the first scraper 742 and the first roller 743 are installed on the first scraper holder 741. The first scraper 742 is used to scrape off the adhesive on one side surface of the photovoltaic module. The first roller 743 presses against the photovoltaic module and is on the same side as the first scraper 742. The first roller 743 can not only enhance the stability of the first scraper 742 during operation, but also reduce the frictional resistance through the rolling contact between the first roller 743 and the surface of the photovoltaic module, making the entire scraping process smoother.
