Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conveying devices, and particularly to a clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components. Background Art

[0002] During the process of assembling and gluing the photovoltaic panel frame, the fixing effect of the conveying mechanism directly affects the gluing quality and production efficiency. In the prior art, for example, the conveying mechanism disclosed in the patent application CN118577454A mainly limits the photovoltaic components through the stop bar 112 and the limiting mechanism 202. However, such designs have obvious deficiencies: the stop bar can only provide one-way restraint, and the clamping force of the guide wheel and the cylinder combination of the limiting mechanism 202 on the photovoltaic components is limited. Especially when the roller applies pressure during the gluing operation, the photovoltaic components are prone to shift or vibrate due to insufficient fixation, resulting in uneven gluing or even glue leakage. In addition, the existing devices lack flexible dimensional adaptability. The positions of the stop bar and the limiting mechanism are fixed, making it difficult to adapt to different specifications of photovoltaic components. Frequent adjustment or replacement of components is required, increasing the operation complexity and time cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Object of the Invention: In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components that can stably clamp photovoltaic components, adapt to diverse dimensional requirements, and has a compact and efficient structure.

[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above object, the clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components of the present invention includes two sets of parallel-layout circulating conveying mechanisms, and a plurality of support rods are bridged between the two sets of circulating conveying mechanisms; each support rod is provided with two sets of clamping and positioning mechanisms.

[0005] The clamping and positioning mechanism includes a connecting seat connecting the support rod, and further includes a first link, a second link, and a slider.

[0006] Two ends of the first link are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting seat and the second link, and the second link is simultaneously rotatably connected relative to the slider.

[0007] The back surface of the support rod has a first chute, the slider is slidably installed relative to the first chute, and the second link passes through the support rod to connect the slider located on the back side of the support rod; and the slider is provided with an operating member capable of changing its position.

[0008] The position state of the first link can be switched between two positions, namely the retracted state and the erected state. In the retracted state, the first link does not protrude above the front of the support rod. When the support rod where the clamping and positioning mechanism is located moves to the lower side of the circulating conveyor mechanism, the clamping and positioning mechanism is in the retracted state. In this way, the movement space required for the clamping and positioning mechanism on the return section (i.e., the lower half section) of the circulating conveyor mechanism can be reduced. In the erected state, a part of the first link protrudes above the front of the support rod. In this way, the two clamping and positioning mechanisms on the operating member can clamp the photovoltaic component from the left and right sides, so that the photovoltaic component is positioned and fixed, facilitating production operations such as gluing.

[0009] Further, the first link is L-shaped, and it has a first rod section connecting the connecting seat and a second rod section connecting the second link. When the first link is in the retracted state, the first rod section is arranged horizontally. When the first link is in the erected state, the second rod section and the second link are both in the erected state.

[0010] By making the first link L-shaped, the first rod section acting on the photovoltaic component can be in the horizontal and vertical states respectively in the two states, which is convenient for clamping and positioning the photovoltaic component.

[0011] Further, a rubber pad is installed on the first rod section to prevent damage to the photovoltaic component.

[0012] Further, a second sliding groove is provided on the front side of the support rod, and the connecting seat can adjust its position along the second sliding groove.

[0013] Further, the operating member is a roller rotatably installed relative to the slider. The clamping and conveying device further includes a guiding track, and the guiding track is placed in the space surrounded by all the support rods. When the support rod where the clamping and positioning mechanism is located is on the upper half side of the circulating conveyor mechanism, the roller can move along the guiding track. The guiding track has a first straight section, a second straight section and a third straight section. The first straight section and the third straight section are collinear. The second straight section deviates from the first straight section, and there are inclined sections between the second straight section and the first straight section and the third straight section respectively.

[0014] When the roller is located on the first straight section and the third straight section, the first link of the clamping and positioning mechanism is in the retracted state. When the roller is located in the second straight section, the first link is in the erected state. In this way, after the photovoltaic component is placed on the support rod, the photovoltaic component can be clamped and positioned. After external equipment such as gluing has processed the photovoltaic component, the clamping and positioning mechanism then releases the photovoltaic component.

[0015] Further, among the two sets of clamping and positioning mechanisms on the support rod, the connecting seat of one set of the clamping and positioning mechanisms is directly fixed relative to the support rod; the connecting seat of the other set of the clamping and positioning mechanisms is connected to the support rod through an elastic mechanism.

[0016] In this way, when clamping and fixing, the first connecting rod of one set of clamping and positioning mechanisms serves as a positioning reference. Since the other set of clamping and positioning mechanisms can elastically float relative to the support rod, it can prevent the photovoltaic components from being damaged.

[0017] Further, the elastic mechanism includes a fixed seat, a rod, a retaining ring, and a spring; the fixed seat is connected to the support rod, the rod passes through the fixed seat and its two ends are respectively connected to the connecting seat and the retaining ring, and the spring is placed between the fixed seat and the retaining ring.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) The clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components of the present invention realizes the function of reducing space occupation in the return section of the circulating conveying mechanism by designing a first connecting rod with a switchable state, and at the same time ensures that the photovoltaic components can be firmly clamped and positioned from both sides at the production operation position, which helps to improve production efficiency and operation convenience.

[0020] (2) It can adjust the positions of the two sets of clamping and positioning mechanisms on the support rod for the size of the photovoltaic components, and adapt to the processing requirements of photovoltaic components of different sizes.

[0021] (3) By setting the operating member as a roller and providing a guiding track for guiding the roller, the switching state of each clamping and positioning mechanism can be effectively controlled at a suitable position, and no additional driving elements need to be provided.

Specific embodiments

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the clamping and conveying device for photovoltaic components includes two sets of circulating conveying mechanisms 1 arranged in parallel, and a plurality of support rods 2 are bridged between the two sets of circulating conveying mechanisms 1; as Figure 2 shown, each support rod 2 is provided with two sets of clamping and positioning mechanisms 3; in this embodiment, the circulating conveying mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt mechanism.

[0032] The clamping and positioning mechanism 3 includes a connecting seat 31 connecting the support rod 2, and also includes a first connecting rod 32, a second connecting rod 33 and a slider 34;

[0033] The two ends of the first connecting rod 32 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting seat 31 and the second connecting rod 33, and the second connecting rod 33 is also rotatably connected relative to the slider 34;

[0034] The back of the support rod 2 has a first chute 21, the slider 34 is slidably installed relative to the first chute 21, and the second connecting rod 33 passes through the support rod 2 to connect the slider 34 located on the back side of the support rod 2; and the slider 34 is provided with an operating member 35 capable of changing its position.

[0035] The position state of the first connecting rod 32 can be switched between two positions, namely the retracted state and the erected state, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. In the retracted state, the first connecting rod 32 does not protrude above the front of the support rod 2. When the support rod 2 where the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 is located moves to the lower side of the circulating conveying mechanism 1, the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 is in the retracted state. In this way, the movement space required for the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 on the return section (i.e., the lower half section) of the circulating conveying mechanism 1 can be reduced; in the erected state, as Figure 6As shown, the first connecting rod 32 has a portion that is higher than the front surface of the support rod 2. Thus, as Figure 5 As shown, the two clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 on the operating member 35 can clamp the photovoltaic component a from the left and right sides, so that the photovoltaic component a is positioned and fixed, facilitating production operations such as gluing.

[0036] This photovoltaic component clamping and conveying device realizes the function of reducing space occupation in the return section of the circulating conveying mechanism by designing the first connecting rod 32 with a switchable state, and at the same time ensures that the photovoltaic component can be firmly clamped and positioned from both sides at the production operation position, which helps to improve production efficiency and operation convenience.

[0037] Preferably, the first connecting rod 32 is L-shaped, which has a first rod section 32a connecting the connecting seat 31 and a second rod section 32b connecting the second connecting rod 33; when the first connecting rod 32 is in the retracted state, the first rod section 32a is horizontally arranged, and when the first connecting rod 32 is in the erected state, the second rod section 32b and the second connecting rod 33 are both in the erected state.

[0038] By making the first connecting rod 32 L-shaped, the first rod section 32a acting on the photovoltaic component can be in the horizontal and vertical states respectively in the two states, which is convenient for clamping and positioning the photovoltaic component.

[0039] Preferably, a rubber pad is installed on the first rod section 32a to prevent damage to the photovoltaic component.

[0040] Preferably, the front side of the support rod 2 has a second sliding groove 22, and the connecting seat 31 can adjust its position along the second sliding groove 22. Thus, it can be suitable for adjusting the positions of the two groups of clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 on the support rod 2 according to the size of the photovoltaic component, and meet the processing requirements of photovoltaic components of different sizes.

[0041] Preferably, the operating member 35 is a roller rotatably installed relative to the slider 34; the clamping and conveying device further includes a guiding track 4, and the guiding track 4 is placed in the space surrounded by all the support rods 2; when the support rod 2 where the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 is located is on the upper half side of the circulating conveying mechanism 1, the roller can move along the guiding track 4; as Figure 7 As shown, the guiding track 4 has a first straight section 41, a second straight section 42 and a third straight section 43, the first straight section 41 and the third straight section 43 are collinear, the second straight section 42 deviates from the first straight section 41, and there are inclined sections between the second straight section 42 and the first straight section 41 and the third straight section 43 respectively.

[0042] By setting the operating member 35 as a roller and providing a guiding track 4 for guiding the roller, the state switching of each clamping and positioning mechanism 3 can be effectively controlled at a suitable position without the need to provide additional driving elements. When the roller is located at the first straight section 41 and the third straight section 43, the first link 32 of the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 is in a retracted state. When the roller is located within the second straight section 42, the first link 32 is in an erected state. In this way, after the photovoltaic component is placed on the support rod 2, the photovoltaic component can be clamped and positioned. After external equipment such as gluing equipment has processed the photovoltaic component, the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 releases the photovoltaic component again.

[0043] Preferably, among the two groups of the clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 on the support rod 2, the connecting seat 31 of one group of the clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 is directly fixed relative to the support rod 2; the connecting seat 31 of the other group of the clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 is connected to the support rod 2 through an elastic mechanism 5.

[0044] In this way, when clamping and fixing, the first link 32 of one group of the clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 serves as a positioning reference. Since the other group of the clamping and positioning mechanisms 3 can elastically float relative to the support rod 2, it can prevent the photovoltaic component from being damaged.

[0045] Preferably, the elastic mechanism 5 includes a fixed seat 51, a rod member 52, a retaining ring 53, and a spring 54; the fixed seat 51 is connected to the support rod 2, the rod member 52 passes through the fixed seat 51 and its two ends are respectively connected to the connecting seat 31 and the retaining ring 53, and the spring 54 is disposed between the fixed seat 51 and the retaining ring 53.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
