[0027] The present invention is described below with specific examples, but is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, an automatic photovoltaic glass stacking device is provided, comprising multiple storage layers for photovoltaic glass. The number of layers in the stacking device determines the total amount of photovoltaic glass it can store. The photovoltaic glass can be placed sequentially from top to bottom within the storage layers, and the stored photovoltaic glass can be moved sequentially between the multiple storage layers. The stacking device is equipped with an inlet, which can be flexibly located at the bottom or top layer. If the inlet is located at the bottom layer, the photovoltaic glass will first enter the bottom layer and then move upward layer by layer. When the glass from the bottom layer moves to the upper layer, the bottom layer becomes empty, and photovoltaic glass can then enter the bottom layer again through the inlet. This process can continue until all storage layers are filled. When discharging, the material can be discharged from either the bottom layer or the top layer. Similarly, if the inlet is located at the top layer, the photovoltaic glass can also be moved downward layer by layer. The automatic stacking device also includes a frame 1, which serves as a support component for the storage layers and is used to support the photovoltaic glass.

[0030] There are two frames 1, and each frame 1 is provided with a plurality of circularly movable support rods 2. The moving path of the support rods 2 inside the frame 1 is a ring. The support rods 2 are components specially designed to support photovoltaic glass. When the support rods 2 move up and down in the vertical direction, it will drive the photovoltaic glass it carries to change the layer it is in. This movement process can not only cause the photovoltaic glass on the lower layer to move to the upper layer, but also cause the photovoltaic glass on the upper layer to move to the lower layer. Through this movement method, the support rods 2 realize the flexible conversion of photovoltaic glass between different layers, and a gap is formed between the moving channels of the support rods 2. The setting of the gap is intended to separate the two straight channels, while also ensuring that the support rods 2 inside the two channels are separated from each other.

[0031] The frame 1 also includes a connecting plate 6, which is connected between the corresponding two side plates 3. The inner side of the connecting plate 6 is an arc surface adapted to the moving path of the support rod 2. The connecting plate 6 is used to connect the frame 1, making the frame 1 more stable during operation and less prone to shaking.

[0032] The four straight channels are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.

[0033] Among them, the support rod 2 inside the frame 1 has a stopped state. When the support rod 2 is in the stopped state, the support rods 2 on the two straight channels in the same frame 1 correspond to each other, and the corresponding two support rods 2 are on the same horizontal plane. When the photovoltaic glass is loaded and stored, the support rod 2 inside the frame 1 is in a fixed state. In the fixed state, it can ensure that the photovoltaic glass enters the interior of the stacking device horizontally from the gap between the two adjacent support rods 2.

[0034] The support rods 2 located on the two inner linear channels form a placement layer for supporting the photovoltaic glass. When the photovoltaic glass is placed on the corresponding support rod 2, the end of the photovoltaic glass extends to the gap inside the frame 1. When one end of the photovoltaic glass is placed on a certain support rod 2, its other end will not come into contact with another support rod 2 in the frame 1. Because the support rods 2 in the two linear channels in the same frame 1 move in opposite directions - that is, when one support rod 2 moves upward to place the photovoltaic glass, the corresponding other support rod 2 will move downward - the existence of the gap can effectively prevent unnecessary collisions between these support rods 2.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides an internal structure of the frame 1, which is as follows:

[0037] The frame 1 comprises two symmetrically arranged side panels 3, each of which is fitted with a conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 is provided with multiple evenly spaced mounting holes. The ends of the support rods 2 are rotatably mounted within the two opposing mounting holes. The conveyor belt 4 is designed as a ring-shaped structure, capable of circulating within the corresponding side panels 3. As the conveyor belts 4 move, the support rods 2 mounted thereon move synchronously. Importantly, the conveyor belts 4 maintain a consistent transmission speed to ensure that the support rods 2 remain horizontal throughout the entire process. Two conveyor rollers 5 are rotatably mounted within the side panels 3. The conveyor belts 4 are sleeved onto the conveyor rollers 5. The distance between any two adjacent mounting holes remains consistent. When the conveyor belts 4 are stationary, each conveyor roller 5 has a mounting hole on either side, diametrically aligned with its axis. This layout ensures that when the conveyor belts 4 are stopped, the mounting holes are precisely aligned and at the same level.

[0038] A support block 8 capable of sliding horizontally is installed inside the side panel 3, and a driving wheel 7 is rotatably installed on the support block 8. When the support rod 2 is in a stopped state, the driving wheel 7 can be pressed against one of the support rods 2 and drive the support rod 2 to rotate. A motor for driving the driving wheel 7 to rotate is installed on the support block 8. The driving wheel 7 is made of a soft material such as rubber. The driving wheel 7 is located at the placement layer for horizontally conveying photovoltaic glass. When discharging is required, it is only necessary to rotate the driving wheel 7 through the motor, and the driving wheel 7 drives the corresponding support rod 2 to rotate to make the photovoltaic glass connected thereto move horizontally. A linear push rod 9 is also fixed inside the side panel 3. The output end of the linear push rod 9 is connected to the support block 8, and the linear push rod 9 is used to push the support block 8 to move horizontally.

[0039] The stacking device also includes a conveyor line for conveying photovoltaic glass horizontally. The conveying channel of the conveyor line is arranged above the support rod 2 corresponding to the driving wheel 7. The conveyor line is responsible for conveying the photovoltaic glass from one side of the frame 1 to the inner area of ​​the display layer. During this process, the support rod 2 corresponding to the conveyor line will rotate, causing the photovoltaic glass to be moved to the two inner support rods 2. At this time, the two ends of the photovoltaic glass will extend to the gap position inside the frame 1 respectively. By manipulating the movement of the support rods 2 inside the frame 1, the photovoltaic glass can be vertically lifted and stacked, thereby efficiently storing the photovoltaic glass. When it is necessary to access these stored photovoltaic glasses, it is only necessary to operate the support rod 2 to move it downward, and then send it out through the conveyor line.

[0040] The conveyor line further includes a conveyor frame 10. The frame body 1 and the support frame 13 are both fixed on the conveyor line. The conveyor frame 10 is a supporting component of the stacking device.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the first and second embodiments, this embodiment provides a support unit, which is as follows:

[0043] The stacking device also includes a support unit, which is located on the left and right sides of the transmission direction of the photovoltaic glass. There are at least two support units, and the two support units respectively support the two sides of the photovoltaic glass to prevent the photovoltaic glass from bending downward in the middle due to its long length and heavy weight. The support unit includes a plurality of support columns 11. A support column 11 is provided at the bottom of each placement layer. The support column 11 can move with the up and down movement of the placement layer. The support column 11 is a short pin, which supports the photovoltaic glass in multiple directions.

[0044] The support unit includes a support frame 13, on which a support belt 12 is installed. Multiple support columns 11 are evenly fixed on the support belt 12. A driving device for driving the support belt 12 to transport is fixed on the support frame 13. Driven by the driving device, the support belt 12 drives the support columns 11 to move up and down following the placement layer.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] The photovoltaic glass is fed into the stacking device's inlet via a conveyor line. If the inlet is located at the bottom layer, the photovoltaic glass will first enter the bottom layer and then move upward layer by layer through the circular movement of the support rods 2. If the inlet is located at the top layer, the photovoltaic glass will directly enter the top layer and then move downward layer by layer through the circular movement of the support rods 2.

[0047] During the stacking process, support rods 2, driven by conveyor belt 4, circulate along a circular path. When the support rods 2 are stopped, the support rods 2 on two linear channels within the same frame 1 correspond to each other and are on the same horizontal plane. At this point, photovoltaic glass can enter the stacking device horizontally through the gap between adjacent support rods 2 and be placed onto the corresponding support rod 2. This gap effectively prevents unnecessary collisions between the support rods 2.

[0048] When unloading is required, linear push rods 9 push support blocks 8 horizontally, forcing drive wheels 7 to press against corresponding support rods 2. The motor then rotates drive wheels 7, driving support rods 2 and the photovoltaic glass horizontally onto the conveyor line. Finally, the photovoltaic glass is transported out of the stacking device via the conveyor line.

[0049] The support unit plays a key role in the transport and stacking of photovoltaic glass. The design of the support columns 11 and support belts 12 ensures the stability and horizontal position of the photovoltaic glass during transport and stacking. Furthermore, the support columns 11 can move up and down with the stacking layer, further enhancing the support effect of the photovoltaic glass.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or partial replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
