Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic control, and particularly relates to a control method for an automatic control system in a slicing and grooving workshop. Background Art

[0002] In the photovoltaic slicing industry, with the continuous progress of technology and the increasing demand for production efficiency, the automation level of each process has been significantly improved. For example, in the slicing process, automatic loading and unloading systems such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and overhead rails have been implemented, greatly improving production efficiency. Similarly, in the cleaning and sorting processes, automated processes for automatic loading and unloading and packing and transferring have also been realized, further promoting the automation process of the photovoltaic slicing industry.

[0003] However, although automation has been achieved in multiple processes, there are still significant automation gaps in the main roller grooving process. Currently, this process still requires manual handling of various materials, as well as loading and unloading and transferring of the corresponding grooving machines. Due to the lack of a suitable automation solution, these tasks still rely on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency and inability to meet the requirements of modern high-efficiency production.

[0004] Specifically, in the main roller grooving process, manual transfer is still required between various stations such as rough machining (skiving), sandblasting, coating and injection molding, precision grinding, grooving, inspection, and boxing. This manual transfer method not only has low efficiency and cannot achieve multi-machine and multi-functional use by one person and multi-process linkage operation, but also has many management problems in actual operation. For example, manual transfer is likely to cause problems such as material mixing or incorrect process parameter setting, bringing great inconvenience and safety hazards to production.

[0005] In addition, manual transfer also has certain safety risks. Due to the need to frequently handle materials and operate machines, workers are prone to problems such as physical fatigue and distraction, thus increasing the risk of operation errors and safety accidents. At the same time, due to the uncontrollability of manual operation, product quality also faces certain challenges. Summary of the Invention

The unloading manipulator transports the carrier loaded with resin into a vacuum oven; the vacuum oven performs high-temperature vacuum curing treatment on the resin in the carrier; after the curing treatment is completed, the unloading manipulator transports the cured workpiece out of the oven again and performs cooling and demolding operations.

7. The method according to claim 6, characterized in that The following steps are further included: The workpiece after the previous treatment is returned to a finishing lathe; the loading manipulator performs loading and tool setting; the turret switches tools according to the processing requirements, cuts off the excess resin, and performs finishing machining of the main roller; wherein, the groove width formed by the finishing machining is 0.13 - 0.15 MM, and the groove depth is 0.02 MM wire grooves.

8. The method according to claim 7, characterized in that, The following steps are further included: After the turret completes the finishing machining of the main roller, it automatically switches to the cleaning mode to clean the wire grooves; after the cleaning treatment is completed, the unloading manipulator unloads the workpiece to an inspection table; on the inspection table, the groove pitch of the workpiece is detected. The unloading manipulator divides and loads the workpieces into corresponding finished product bins according to the detection results of the groove pitch and groove depth; at the same time, the detection data is uploaded to the MES system. The MES system pushes the data to the using department.

9. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: It further includes an RFID card reading device and a classification control program; wherein, the RFID card reading device is used to read the information in the RFID card attached to the main roller to identify the type or processing requirements of the main roller; the classification control program classifies the main rollers according to the read RFID card information, and controls the transmission device to uniformly transmit the classified main rollers to the adjacent queuing lathe transfer table for subsequent processing according to the classification order.

10. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The SFC system is used to generate and push programming operation instructions containing process parameters to the lathe and the AGV trolley; The AGV trolley automatically navigates to the standby position of the new main roller to pick up the new main roller according to the received programming operation instructions, where the instructions include the standby position information of the new main roller, the identification information of the expired main roller, and the replacement position information, and then transports it to the location of the expired main roller, and automatically completes the replacement of the expired main roller according to the replacement steps in the instructions.
