Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module recycling, and in particular to a device for completely removing a photovoltaic module back sheet. Background Art
[0002] The resource recovery and green recycling of retired photovoltaic panels has become a hot topic. Due to the cross-linked, firm nature of photovoltaic films, traditional direct pyrolysis poses environmental concerns, making it difficult to dispose of fluorinated photovoltaic backsheets separately. The tension and strength of torn-off panels make them difficult to completely rewind.
[0003] For example, CN116159841A discloses a disassembly system and method for recycling photovoltaic modules, which includes a junction box removal device, a frame removal device, a back panel edge device, a first heating device, a back panel peeling device, a second heating device and a cell removal device, so as to realize the automatic removal of the junction box, the frame, the back panel and the cell. However, the photovoltaic module recycling disassembly system in CN116159841A has three stations for tearing off the back panel, namely heating-cutting-removing, which occupies a large area, has a complicated process and low removal efficiency; the tunnel kiln is used for heating, but the two ends of the tunnel kiln cannot be completely sealed, resulting in a large heat loss, and the back panel is generally The tearing temperature is around 100-200℃, and the whole plate of heated glass will also absorb a lot of heat and generate unnecessary energy consumption. The use of tunnel kilns is costly, occupies a large area, and consumes a lot of energy; the split clamps will cause uneven force, and the backboard will be partially torn during the tearing process; the double roller clamping and then rotating tearing process is adopted, and the rollers are prone to slipping between the rotating rollers and the backboard, and the backboard has a certain hardness and irregular deformation after heating, which makes it difficult to roll and unload the material; the edge is directly scraped with a spatula, but in actual process, because there are no solar cells and welding ribbons at the edge of the photovoltaic module, its thickness is thinner, and the backboard is tightly attached to the glass, making it difficult to shovel in from the edge to start the edge.
[0004] Based on this situation, there is an urgent need for a complete removal device for the backsheet of a photovoltaic module. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Furthermore, the heating unit is selected from one of a heating wire hot air heating unit and a hot steam heating unit.
[0009] Furthermore, the heating unit is a strip-shaped local heating unit.
[0010] Furthermore, the heating temperature of the heating unit is 100°C~200°C.
[0011] Furthermore, the heating temperature and heating position of the heating unit starts from the short side of the photovoltaic backplane and moves in the forward direction of the push rod to continuously move and heat. The heating time of each time the heating unit moves forward the distance of the heating unit width is 30 to 60 seconds.
[0012] Furthermore, the heating units are all strip-shaped; the length of the heating units is substantially the same as the width of the photovoltaic module, and the width of the heating units is 1 / 20 to 1 / 5 of the length of the photovoltaic module.
[0013] Furthermore, the laser scribing and cutting unit includes a visual recognition subunit and a laser cutting subunit; the visual recognition subunit is used to identify and locate photovoltaic modules; the laser cutting subunit is used to laser scribing and cutting the photovoltaic backsheet.
[0014] Furthermore, the laser scribing and cutting unit also includes an industrial control computer (industrial control computer).

[0025] The present invention integrates heating, cutting and removal into one workstation, simplifying the process and improving efficiency.
[0026] If the entire panel is heated before being torn off, heating is stopped during the tearing process. During the movement of the clamps, the untorn portion will gradually cool down at a faster rate. Once cooled, it will be difficult to continue tearing off and the entire panel will need to be reheated. Repeated heating of the entire panel will result in a long heating time for the partially torn photovoltaic backsheet (film), which will reduce the film strength. Local heating will be more efficient. If the entire panel is heated continuously, on the one hand, large-area heating will take a long time and consume high energy. On the other hand, large-area heating will result in a long heating time for other parts, which will reduce the film strength. The local heating method preferably adopted in the present invention is easier to control the temperature than continuous heating of the entire panel, and has better continuity than intermittent heating of the entire panel. If a laser whose temperature is difficult to control is used, the ignition temperature of the film may be reached, igniting the film and catching fire.
[0027] Using a large-area clamp and using a push rod to push forward can greatly solve the problems of slipping, tearing, and slow speed. The surface of the clamp is set with a wave pattern to increase friction and avoid puncturing the backboard due to being too sharp.
[0028] The present invention uses laser scribing to uniformly cut out a complete edge, so that the back plate is broken neatly at the cut, and further cutting is easier.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] 1) This technical solution provides a complete photovoltaic module backsheet removal device that can completely peel the photovoltaic backsheet from the waste photovoltaic laminate, reducing pollutants in subsequent processing. It integrates heating, cutting, and removal in the same station, which is conducive to improving removal efficiency.
[0031] 2) This technical solution provides a photovoltaic module backsheet complete removal device. By setting an upper clamp claw, a lower clamp claw, a vertical clamp adjustment component, and a push rod, the tearing action is broken down into two directions: horizontal pushing and vertical pulling. This can make the photovoltaic backsheet evenly stressed and ensure the integrity of the photovoltaic backsheet to the greatest extent.
[0032] 3) This technical solution provides a device for completely removing the backsheet of a photovoltaic module. When local heating is further adopted, local heating and hot air circulation can reduce energy consumption. The forward movement of the push rod ensures uniform force, and the photovoltaic backsheet after tearing off is convenient for unloading as a whole sheet. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0066] The working method of the photovoltaic module backsheet complete removal device comprises the following steps:
[0067] Before operation, the photovoltaic module backsheet complete removal device is leveled. During operation, the photovoltaic laminate 1, stripped of its frame and junction box, is first transferred to the workstation. The visual recognition subunit 231 of the laser scribing and cutting unit 23 identifies the dimensions and positions the photovoltaic module. Once positioned, the heating unit 4 is activated to heat and soften the adhesive film at a temperature of 100°C to 200°C. Heating unit 4 (heating wire hot air heating unit 41) heats the strips for 30 to 60 seconds, starting at the short edge. Only the short edge is heated. After heating is complete, heating unit 4 moves a short distance along the X-axis, away from the laser cutting subunit 232, to approach the blade clamping unit. At the same time, the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box is moved a distance along the X-axis in the direction close to the laser cutting sub-unit 232, the visual recognition sub-unit 231 recognizes the position of the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box, the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box is below the laser of the laser cutting sub-unit 232, and the laser scribing and cutting unit 23 performs laser scribing and cutting of the photovoltaic backsheet 12 (such as the short side of the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box) from the short side of the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box. Figure 1As shown in the figure, during the cutting process, the laser moves along the Y-axis direction to cut, and the distance between the marking position and the short side of the photovoltaic module is less than its creepage distance L, so as to protect the photovoltaic glass and the cells in the cell layer 13 as much as possible and reduce the residue of the photovoltaic backsheet 12. After the marking and cutting is completed, the photovoltaic laminate 1 without the frame and junction box is moved along the X-axis for a distance (as shown in the figure) in the direction close to the blade clamping unit. Figure 2 、 3 As shown in the figure, the marking position is below the scraper clamping unit, and the lower clamp claw 22 descends along the Z axis, approaches the photovoltaic backsheet 12, and then shovels in from the cutting position along the X axis. After shoveling in, the upper clamp claw 21 descends along the Z axis, clamps and presses the photovoltaic backsheet 12. After clamping, the scraper clamping unit moves upward along the Z axis as a whole and moves forward along the X axis to pull it up, so that the photovoltaic backsheet 12 is gradually peeled off and forms an angle and space for the push rod 3 to enter the glass surface between the photovoltaic glass and the battery layer 13 (as shown in the figure). Figure 4 、 5 As shown), the whole moves up 10~20cm and then stops. The push rod 3 enters the angle between the photovoltaic back sheet 12 and the photovoltaic glass and the glass surface of the cell layer 13 along the X axis, and continues to move forward after supporting the photovoltaic back sheet 12 to accelerate the peeling of the photovoltaic back sheet 12 (as shown). Figure 6 、 7 As shown), during the peeling process, the scraper clamping unit maintains a basically unchanged position, and the push rod 3 and the heating unit 4 advance along the X-axis to perform heating synchronously (the heating position of the heating wire hot air heating unit 41 starts from the short side of one side of the photovoltaic backsheet 12, and slowly advances in the advancing direction of the push rod 3 to continuously move and heat until it reaches the short side of the other side of the photovoltaic backsheet 12. The heating time of the heating wire hot air heating unit 41 each time it advances the distance of the width of the heating wire hot air heating unit 41 is 30 to 60 seconds. During the heating process, the heat of the heated area on the photovoltaic backsheet 12 facing the heating wire hot air heating unit 41 will be transferred to the surrounding area to ensure that the position where the push rod 3 moves is at the heating temperature, which is convenient for peeling), clamping and peeling actions. After the peeling is completed, the glass is first conveyed out, and then the upper clamp claw 21 and the lower clamp claw 22 are released to make the photovoltaic backsheet 12 fall and convey it out, and finally all units are reset.

[0073] In this embodiment, the push rod 3 is a semi-cylindrical push rod 33 .
[0074] Example 4
[0075] This embodiment provides a method for completely removing the backsheet of a photovoltaic module. Based on the working method of the device for completely removing the backsheet of a photovoltaic module provided in Example 1, the specific laser scribing process (for laser scribing and cutting the photovoltaic backsheet 12) includes the following steps:
[0076] S1. Camera ranging, i.e., ranging using the visual recognition subunit 231. Define a corner of the photovoltaic laminate 1 as the center O, the long side as the X-axis, and the short side as the Y-axis. Define the length of the short side of the photovoltaic laminate 1 as Y0. Identify the edge of the busbar (laminated busbar) at the top of the photovoltaic module (near the Y-axis) and the edge of the short side of the photovoltaic laminate 1, and measure the minimum distance L between the busbar edge and the short side of the photovoltaic laminate 1. Specifically, using the short side as the Y-axis as the baseline, measure the distance L along the long side's X-axis forward to the busbar edge. Define this distance L as the creepage distance.
[0077] S2. Determine the marking position. Take the short side as the Y axis and move forward along the long side until it reaches the edge of the busbar but does not reach the edge of the busbar. Define this distance as L0. <L。
[0078] S3. Laser Scribing. The laser cutting subunit 232 is activated and reset to the center point O of a corner of the photovoltaic laminate 1. It then moves forward along the long side X-axis for a distance L0 and stops. The laser is activated, and the laser cutting subunit 232 remains stationary along the X-axis.
