[0068] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 , the present invention discloses an automatic disassembly robot for fixing bolts of field photovoltaic panels, which can be used to improve the technical problems such as insufficient positioning accuracy, poor adaptability, and low operation efficiency in the disassembly process of current field photovoltaic panels.
[0069] Specifically, the automatic disassembly robot for fixing bolts of field photovoltaic panels disclosed by the present invention includes a moving unit 100, an installation box 200, and a bolt disassembly unit 300. The installation box 200 is connected to the moving unit 100, and the bolt disassembly unit 300 is connected to the installation box 200. The moving of the device during the bolt disassembly process is realized through the moving unit 100, and the disassembly of the fixing bolts is realized through the bolt disassembly unit 300 during the moving process.
[0070] Specifically, the moving unit 100 includes a box body 110 and crawler mechanisms 120 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the box body 110.
[0071] The box body 110 can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, which has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. It can reduce its own weight and energy consumption while ensuring the overall structural stability of the robot. Multiple installation spaces are reserved inside the box body 110 for installing various electrical equipment, control modules, power supplies, etc. of the robot, and a reasonable layout can avoid mutual interference between the equipment.
[0072] The crawler mechanism 120 adopts a rubber crawler, and the surface of the crawler is designed with special anti-slip patterns, which can increase the friction with the ground and improve the walking ability of the robot on different terrains (such as sandy land, grassland, muddy land, etc.). Each crawler mechanism 120 consists of a driving motor, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a crawler. The driving motor is connected to the driving wheel through a reducer to drive the driving wheel to rotate, thereby driving the crawler to move and realizing actions such as the forward, backward, and turning of the robot.
[0073] An installation panel 130 is provided on the top of the box body 110. The installation panel 130 is made of a flat steel plate, and its surface is subjected to an anti-corrosion treatment to prevent rusting in the field environment. Multiple installation holes are provided on the installation panel 130 for fixedly installing the installation box 200 to ensure a firm and reliable connection between the installation box 200 and the box body 110.
[0074] It can be understood that the installation box 200 is fixed on the installation panel 130, and a first connection part 210 and a second connection part 220 are respectively arranged on both sides thereof. The first connection part 210 and the second connection part 220 are both provided with a liftable bolt disassembly unit 300. Specifically, the first connection part 210 and the second connection part 220 are of symmetrical structure and are both welded by channel steel. A guide rail is arranged on the connection part and is used to cooperate with the lifting mechanism of the bolt disassembly unit 300 to realize the smooth lifting of the bolt disassembly unit 300.
[0075] In some embodiments, the bolt disassembly unit 300 includes a first connecting rod 310, a second connecting rod 320 and a disassembly mechanism 330.
[0076] Specifically, the first connecting rod 310 is vertically connected to the first connection part 210 or the second connection part 220 through a lifting mechanism. The second connecting rod 320 is horizontally slidably connected to the front end of the first connecting rod 310. A slide rail is arranged at the front end of the first connecting rod 310, and the second connecting rod 320 forms a horizontal sliding pair with the slide rail through a slider. A ball screw driven by a servo motor is arranged in the slide rail, and the slider is threadedly connected to the ball screw through a nut seat. When the servo motor rotates, it drives the ball screw to rotate, so that the slider moves horizontally along the slide rail, realizing the horizontal movement of the second connecting rod 320. This transmission method has the characteristics of high transmission accuracy and stable movement, and can accurately move the disassembly mechanism 330 to the position of the bolt.
[0077] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism is a synchronous lifting drive mechanism 400, and through the synchronous lifting drive mechanism 400, the first connecting rods 310 on the first connection part 210 and the second connection part 220 can be synchronously lifted and lowered.
[0078] Specifically, the synchronous lifting drive mechanism 400 includes a double-output shaft lifting motor 410, and its double-output shafts are respectively connected to drive gears 420. Symmetrically arranged first racks 430 and second racks 440 are respectively meshed with the drive gears 420. Wherein, limit blocks 450 with inclined guiding surfaces 4501 are respectively arranged at the ends of the first rack 430 and the second rack 440, and the limit blocks 450 are in contact transmission with the drive wheels 460 on the lifting rod 470, and the lifting and lowering of the lifting rod 470 are realized through the reciprocating movement of the racks.
[0079] In some embodiments, the disassembly mechanism 330 is arranged at the end of the second connecting rod 320 and includes a connection box 331, a disassembly motor 332, a main shaft 333 and a replaceable disassembly module 334.
[0080] Specifically, the connection box 331 is fixed to the end of the second connection rod 320 and is made of cast aluminum, which has good heat dissipation performance and mechanical strength. A bearing seat is provided inside the connection box 331 to support the rotation of the main shaft 333. The disassembly motor 332 is fixed to the top of the connection box 331 and adopts a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which has the characteristics of high power density and wide speed regulation range. The output shaft of the disassembly motor 332 is connected to the main shaft 333 through a coupling to transmit power to the main shaft 333.
[0081] The main shaft 333 is rotatably connected to the connection box 331. The main shaft 333 is made of alloy steel and has high strength and hardness after quenching and tempering. One end of the main shaft 333 is connected to the coupling, and the other end is connected to the replaceable and detachable module 334 through a quick release structure.
[0082] Furthermore, the replaceable disassembly module 334 includes a fixed rod 3341 coaxially fixed with the main shaft 333, and a disassembly disk 3342 arranged at the bottom of the fixed rod 3341. The fixed rod 3341 adopts a hollow structure, which not only reduces the weight but also facilitates wiring. The bottom surface of the disassembly disk 3342 is provided with regular hexagonal notches distributed in a circular array, and the notches are embedded with elastic disassembly rods 3343 connected by springs. Each disassembly rod 3343 encloses and forms an adaptive clamping cavity that adapts to the bolt head. When the disassembly disk 3342 is aligned with the bolt head, the elastic disassembly rod 3343 automatically adapts to the size and shape of the bolt head under the action of the spring, tightly clamps the bolt head, and achieves reliable clamping.
[0083] Therefore, in the actual process of removing the bolts, the operator sends an operation instruction to the robot through the remote control terminal, the mobile unit 100 of the robot is started, and the crawler mechanism 120 drives the robot to move to the target photovoltaic panel area. During the movement, the robot can sense the surrounding environment in real time through the sensors (such as laser radar, camera, etc.) installed on the box 110 and automatically avoid obstacles.
[0084] When the robot reaches the working position, the control system first controls the lifting mechanism to adjust the height of the first connecting rod 310 according to the bolt position information fed back by the sensor, so that the disassembly mechanism 330 is roughly at the height position of the bolt. Then, the servo motor is controlled to drive the ball screw to move the second connecting rod 320 horizontally, and the disassembly mechanism 330 is accurately aligned with the bolt head.
[0085] After the disassembly mechanism 330 is aligned with the bolt head, the elastic disassembly rod 3343 automatically clamps the bolt head. The disassembly motor 332 is started, and the disassembly disk 3342 is driven to rotate through the main shaft 333, so that the bolt is disassembled from the photovoltaic panel.
[0086] After removing one bolt, the robot can move to the position of the next bolt according to a preset program and repeat the above steps for the disassembly operation. When all bolts are removed, the robot returns to the initial position and ends the operation.
[0087] In some embodiments, to improve the usage effect of the present device during actual use, it is allowable to provide a protective housing 500 on the box body 110. The protective housing 500 is integrally formed by high-strength engineering plastics and has good impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The overall housing wraps around the outside of the box body 110 and the installation box 200 to form a closed protection space, effectively preventing external factors such as dust and rain from eroding the internal equipment. Its outer shape has been optimized to reduce wind resistance and at the same time facilitate the installation of other functional modules.
[0088] Among them, the protective housing 500 is tightly connected to the box body 110 and the installation box 200 through a plurality of bolts to ensure the firmness of the connection. A rubber gasket is also provided at the connection to further enhance the waterproof and dustproof effects.
[0089] It should be noted that it is allowable to provide a binocular vision module 510 with a cleaning function, a supplementary lighting module 520, and a foldable photovoltaic panel 530 on the front side of the protective housing 500.
[0090] Among them, the binocular vision module 510 selects industrial cameras with high resolution and high frame rate to meet the precise identification requirements of the bolt position and state. At the same time, it is equipped with an anti-fouling coated lens 511 with a focal length of 6 mm. The surface of the lens 511 adopts a special coating process, which can effectively prevent pollutants such as dust and oil stains from adhering, ensuring the clarity of imaging. The optical performance of the lens 511 has been optimized, with characteristics such as low distortion and high contrast, improving the accuracy of visual recognition.
[0091] A wiper 552 is provided outside the lens 511. The wiper 552 is made of a material with a nano oleophobic coating, and this coating enables the surface of the wiper 552 to have good hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, reducing the residue of pollutants on the wiper 552. The wiper 552 itself has a certain elasticity and can closely fit the surface of the lens 511 to ensure the cleaning effect. At the same time, the wiper 552 is driven by a linear motor to reciprocate along the surface of the lens 511.
[0092] It can be understood that the linear motor has the characteristics of fast response speed and high motion accuracy, and can accurately control the motion stroke and speed of the wiper 552. Guide rails are provided on both sides of the lens 511, and the wiper 552 is matched with the guide rails through sliders to ensure the smoothness of the motion.
[0093] Furthermore, a cleaning control unit is integrated inside the binocular vision module 510. When it detects that the contaminants on the surface of the lens 511 affect the imaging quality (judged by the image sharpness analysis algorithm), the control unit will automatically activate the linear motor to drive the wiper 552 to perform the cleaning operation. During the cleaning process, the wiper 552 will make multiple reciprocating motions to ensure that the surface of the lens 511 is cleaned thoroughly. After the cleaning is completed, the wiper 552 returns to its initial position and waits for the next cleaning instruction.
[0094] Furthermore, the supplementary lighting module 520 is integrated in the front part of the protective housing 500 and adopts a light source array composed of multiple LED lamp beads. These LED lamp beads are characterized by high brightness and low power consumption and can provide a uniform lighting effect.
[0095] The supplementary lighting module 520 is equipped with a light sensor and an intelligent control circuit. The light sensor can detect the ambient light intensity in real time. When the ambient light is insufficient, the intelligent control circuit will automatically adjust the brightness of the LED lamp beads according to the detection result to ensure that the binocular vision module 510 can obtain clear images. At the same time, the supplementary lighting module 520 can also adjust the angle and range of the lighting according to different working scenarios and requirements to improve the accuracy of visual recognition.
[0096] The foldable photovoltaic panel 530 is located on the top of the protective housing. It uses monocrystalline silicon solar cells and has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency. The photovoltaic panel is hinged to the top of the protective housing 500 and can be in two states: folded and unfolded. In the unfolded state, the photovoltaic panel can fully receive sunlight and convert solar energy into electrical energy; in the folded state, the overall volume of the robot is reduced, which is convenient for transportation and storage.
[0097] It can be understood that during the operation of the robot, the protective housing 500 provides reliable protection for the internal devices. The binocular vision module 510 with a cleaning function collects the image information of the bolts in real time, and the supplementary lighting module 520 provides appropriate lighting according to the ambient light conditions to ensure the sharpness of the images. The foldable photovoltaic panel 530 unfolds for charging when the light is sufficient to provide continuous power support for the robot. When contaminants appear on the surface of the lens 511 and affect the imaging, the cleaning wiper 552 is automatically activated for cleaning to ensure the accuracy of visual recognition. Through the collaborative work of each module, the working efficiency and reliability of the robot in the field environment are improved.
[0098] In some embodiments, in order to improve the recognition and disassembly effect of the bolts, it is allowed to install a laser positioning module 540 at the bottom of the connection box 331.
[0099] Among them, the laser positioning module 540 can emit a cross laser, and the cross laser coincides with the axis of the disassembly disc 3342. When the robot performs the bolt disassembly operation, the cross laser accurately indicates the position of the disassembly disc 3342, providing an intuitive positioning reference for the operator or the automatic control system, ensuring that the disassembly disc 3342 can accurately align with the bolt head.
[0100] Specifically, the laser emitter 541 uses a 650nm red dot laser module. The laser module has the characteristics of good wavelength stability and high visibility to the human eye, which is convenient for observation and positioning under different lighting conditions. Its optical axis is coaxially calibrated with the rotation axis of the disassembly disc 3342 to ensure that the position and direction of the laser emission are precisely corresponding to the working position of the disassembly disc 3342.
[0101] At the same time, a calibration mechanism 542 is also allowed to be connected to the laser emitter 541. The calibration mechanism 542 includes a gimbal adjustment bracket with adjustable angles. The operator can rotate the knob according to the actual situation, driving the gimbal adjustment bracket to change the angle of the laser emitter 541, so that the cross laser accurately coincides with the axis of the disassembly disc 3342, improving the positioning accuracy.
[0102] In some embodiments, the disassembly disc 3342 can be replaced with a cleaning module 600 according to the actual operation requirements. After the bolt disassembly operation is completed, the cleaning module 600 is installed at the end of the main shaft 333, and then the cleaning operation can be performed on the bolt installation position, realizing multi-functional use of one machine and improving the use efficiency of the robot.
[0103] Specifically, the cleaning module 600 includes rigid bristles 610 distributed in a ring and a negative pressure dust suction port 620 provided in the middle. The rigid bristles 610 can effectively remove dirt such as dust and debris around the bolt installation hole. During the cleaning process, the bristles wipe and clean the surface as the main shaft 333 rotates. At the same time, the negative pressure dust suction port 620 in the middle is connected to an external dust suction device to generate negative pressure suction, sucking away the dust and debris swept away in time to avoid secondary pollution and ensure the cleaning effect.
[0104] In some embodiments, the robot disclosed in the present invention is also provided with a main control module, which is located in the box body 110. The main control module integrates a path planning algorithm and a bolt positioning algorithm. The path planning algorithm plans the optimal movement path of the robot according to the initial position of the robot, the position of the target photovoltaic panel, and the surrounding environment information (such as the distribution of obstacles), ensuring that the robot can quickly and safely reach the operation location. The bolt positioning algorithm combines the information provided by the laser positioning module 540 and the image data collected by the binocular vision module 510 to accurately calculate the position and attitude of the bolt, providing accurate target information for the subsequent disassembly operation.
[0105] The main control module is communicatively connected to a 5G communication module. Through the 5G communication network, the main control module can perform real-time data transmission and communication with a remote monitoring center or an operator.
[0106] Furthermore, it also includes a composite power supply system, which consists of an emergency power supply and a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel is installed on the top of the protective housing 500 and can convert solar energy into electrical energy under sufficient light conditions to provide the main power support for the robot. The emergency power supply serves as a backup power supply and provides necessary power for the robot when the power supply of the photovoltaic panel is insufficient or fails, ensuring that the robot can continue to complete its operation tasks.
[0107] During actual use, the main control module monitors the output power of the photovoltaic panel and the power status of the emergency power supply in real time. When the light is sufficient, the photovoltaic panel is preferentially used to supply power to the robot, and at the same time, the excess electrical energy is stored in the emergency power supply. When the light is insufficient or the photovoltaic panel fails, the main control module automatically switches to the emergency power supply mode to ensure the normal operation of the robot.
[0108] Based on this, when the robot disclosed in the present invention is actually used, after the robot is started, the main control module controls the mobile unit 100 to move the robot to the target photovoltaic panel area according to the preset task information and path planning algorithm. During the movement, the laser positioning module 540 emits a cross laser, and in combination with the binocular vision module 510 and the bolt positioning algorithm, the position of the bolt is accurately determined.
[0109] When the robot reaches the operation position, it controls the bolt disassembly unit 300 to descend so that the disassembly disc 3342 is aligned with the bolt head. The disassembly motor 332 is started, and the disassembly disc 3342 is driven to rotate by the main shaft 333 to disassemble the bolt from the photovoltaic panel.
[0110] After the bolt disassembly is completed, the disassembly disc 3342 is replaced with the cleaning module 600. The main control module controls the cleaning module 600 to clean the bolt installation position.
