[0002] Manual handling and installation of photovoltaic panels is undoubtedly a challenging task. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses numerous safety risks. Photovoltaic panels are typically large and heavy, and even professionally trained workers can easily become fatigued during extended handling. This not only affects work efficiency but can also lead to operational errors due to physical exhaustion, increasing the risk of damage to the panels during installation.

[0003] Furthermore, when installing photovoltaic panels at height, workers often rely on ladders to complete this high-altitude operation. However, as a simple climbing tool, ladders have relatively limited stability and safety. Especially when installing screws, a delicate and forceful operation, workers on ladders must maintain balance while accurately tightening the screws, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty and danger of the operation. Improper operation can not only lead to unstable photovoltaic panels, but also cause workers to fall and other serious safety accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0045] Refer to the following drawings Figures 1-13 A photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to an embodiment of the present invention, the photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100 is used to replace photovoltaic panels, which include new photovoltaic panels and old photovoltaic panels. The photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100 includes a loading plate vehicle 10, a new panel storage device 20, a waste panel storage device 60, and a loading and unloading arm 70. Figure 3 The pallet truck 10 has a new panel placement area 11, a waste panel placement area 12, and an active area 13. A new panel storage device 20 is located in the new panel placement area 11 and is used to store new photovoltaic panels. A waste panel storage device 60 is located in the waste panel placement area 12 and is used to store old photovoltaic panels. For example, the waste panel storage device 60 may be a box with an opening facing inward.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The loading and unloading arm 70 includes a loading assembly 7 and a movable arm 8. The loading assembly 7 is used to grab photovoltaic panels. The movable arm 8 is connected to the movable area 13 and is connected to the loading assembly 7. The movable arm 8 is used to drive the loading bracket 71 relative to the carrying plate trolley 10 to place old photovoltaic panels into the waste panel storage device 60 and move new photovoltaic panels to the working position. This allows the loading and unloading arm 70 to move photovoltaic panels, effectively reducing the workload of workers.

[0048] For example, refer to Figure 4 The movable arm 8 may include a turntable 81, a first arm 82, a second arm 83, and a third arm 84. The turntable 81 is rotatably mounted on the carrying plate vehicle 10. The first arm 82 is connected to the turntable 81 and extends in the vertical direction. The second arm 83 is vertically swingably connected to an end of the first arm 82 away from the turntable 81. The third arm 84 is vertically swingably connected to an end of the second arm 83 away from the turntable 81. The bracket body is connected to an end of the third arm 84 away from the second arm 83. In this way, the movable arm 8 can drive the pick-up and placement bracket 71.

[0049] Reference Figure 5-Figure 8 The pick-and-place component 7 includes a pick-and-place bracket 71, a suction cup 72 and a clamp 73. There are multiple suction cups 72, and the multiple suction cups 72 are arranged on the pick-and-place bracket 71 at intervals along the first direction. For example, the suction cups 72 can be two, three, four, five, six or more; specifically, the multiple suction cups 72 can be arranged in multiple rows in the second direction.

[0050] It should be explained that, in this application, a plurality refers to two or more.

[0051] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7The clamping claw 73 includes clamping fingers 731 arranged at intervals along the second direction. The two clamping fingers 731 are movably provided on the pick-up and placement bracket 71 along the second direction to stop the photovoltaic panel in the second direction. When the pick-up and placement arm 70 clamps the photovoltaic panel, the clamping claw 73 stops at the side of the photovoltaic panel away from the suction cup 72 in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel, that is, the clamping fingers 731 are generally L-shaped.

[0052] The first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel, the second direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0053] It should be understood that since the movable arm 8 can drive the pick-up and placement bracket 71 to move relative to the carrying pallet truck 10, that is, the orientation of the pick-up and placement bracket 71 relative to the carrying pallet truck 10 is constantly changing, the first direction and the second direction in this application are both described for the orientation when "the new photovoltaic panel is placed flat on the new panel storage device, and the pick-up and placement bracket 71 uses the clamping fingers 731 to clamp the new photovoltaic panel."

[0054] Then, the pick-up and placement assembly 7 is driven to the top of the waste panel storage device 60 by the pick-up and placement arm 70, and the two clamping fingers 731 are driven to move backward in the second direction to release the adsorption of the suction cup 72 on the photovoltaic panel, and the old photovoltaic panel is placed on the waste panel storage device 60, thereby completing the removal of the old photovoltaic panel.

[0055] By utilizing the clamping of the old photovoltaic panel by the clamping jaws 73 in the first direction and the contact between the old photovoltaic panels by the clamping jaws 73 in the thickness direction of the old photovoltaic panel, the clamping jaws 73 can bear part of the weight of the old photovoltaic panel, so that the suction cup 72 can reliably adsorb the old photovoltaic panel, reducing the risk of the suction cup 72 being separated from the old photovoltaic panel, and reducing the risk of the old photovoltaic panel falling off the pick-up and placement bracket 71, effectively ensuring the safety of the operating personnel, effectively ensuring the safety of the old photovoltaic panels, and allowing the old photovoltaic panels to be reused through repair or the parts to be recycled through disassembly.

[0056] After that, the two clamping fingers 731 are driven to move backward in the second direction to release the adsorption of the suction cup 72 on the photovoltaic panel, thereby completing the safety of the new photovoltaic panel.

[0057] By utilizing the clamping of the new photovoltaic panel by the clamping jaws 73 in the first direction and the contact between the new photovoltaic panels by the clamping jaws 73 in the thickness direction of the new photovoltaic panel, the clamping jaws 73 can bear part of the weight of the new photovoltaic panel, so that the suction cup 72 can reliably adsorb the new photovoltaic panel, thereby reducing the risk of the suction cup 72 being separated from the new photovoltaic panel and the risk of the new photovoltaic panel falling off the loading and unloading bracket 71, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of the operating personnel and the new photovoltaic panel, and improving the reliability of the photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100.

[0058] It should be understood that in order to reduce the risk of the new photovoltaic panel falling off, when driving the pick-up and placement bracket 71 to move, the movable arm 8 can be used to control the pick-up and placement bracket 71 to swing in the up and down directions, so that the clamp 73 can always bear part of the weight of the new photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the reliability of the pick-up and placement arm 70.

[0059] For example, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The clamping jaw 73 also includes a movable block 732, which is provided with a through hole 7321 and a threaded hole 7322. There are two through holes 7321, which are respectively provided on both sides of the threaded hole 7322 in the first direction. The clamping finger 731 is connected to the movable block 732. The pick-and-place assembly 7 also includes a guide rod 78 and a pitch-adjusting screw 79. The guide rod 78 extends in the second direction, and both ends of the guide rod 78 are respectively connected to the pick-and-place bracket 71. The guide rod 78 is passed through the through hole 7321. The pitch-adjusting screw 79 extends in the second direction and is rotatably connected to the pick-and-place bracket 71. The pitch-adjusting screw 79 is passed through the threaded hole 7322 and is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole 7322. The internal threads in the threaded holes 7322 on the two movable blocks 732 have opposite rotation directions. In this way, the movement of the clamping finger 731 in the second direction can be achieved through the screw structure, and the adjustable precision is high.

[0060] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 13 The load-bearing plate truck 10 also has a tool storage area 14. The photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100 also includes a ladder box 91 and a ladder 92. The ladder box 91 is arranged in the tool storage area 14 and has a storage space for accommodating the ladder 92, which makes it convenient to carry the ladder 92. Specifically, the ladder 92 is retractable, the storage space opens upward, and a retractable cover 911 is provided at the opening, which can prevent rainwater and dust from invading the storage space and ensure the reliability of the ladder 92.

[0061] According to the photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100 of the present invention, by arranging the suction cup 72 and the clamping claw 73 to cooperate with each other, and utilizing the clamping claw 73 to clamp the photovoltaic panel in the first direction and the abutment of the clamping claw 73 in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel, the clamping claw 73 can bear a part of the weight of the photovoltaic panel, so that the suction cup 72 can reliably adsorb the photovoltaic panel, reducing the risk of the suction cup 72 being separated from the photovoltaic panel, reducing the risk of the photovoltaic panel falling off the pick-up and placement bracket 71, and can reliably fix the photovoltaic panel relative to the pick-up and placement bracket 71, effectively reducing the risk of the photovoltaic panel falling from the pick-up and placement arm 70, and improving the safety of the photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly process.

[0062] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping finger 731 includes a first clamping portion 7311 and a second clamping portion 7312, the first clamping portion 7311 is movably provided on the pick-up and placement bracket 71 along the second direction, and the first clamping portion 7311 is suitable for stopping the photovoltaic panel in the second direction, the distance between the two first clamping portions 7311 in the second direction is the clamping distance, the second clamping portion 7312 is rotatably connected to one end of the first clamping portion 7311 away from the pick-up and placement bracket 71, and the second clamping portion 7312 is suitable for stopping the photovoltaic panel in the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel.

[0063] In this way, before clamping the photovoltaic panel, the second clamping part 7312 can be rotated to rotate the end of the second clamping part 7312 away from the first clamping part 7311 to outside the clamping distance to prevent the second clamping part 7312 from interfering with the suction cup 72's adsorption of the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, after the suction cup 72 adsorbs the photovoltaic panel, the second clamping part 7312 can be rotated to rotate the end of the second clamping part 7312 away from the first clamping part 7311 to within the clamping distance to achieve the second clamping part 7312 abutting against the photovoltaic panel.

[0064] For example, refer to Figure 8The clamping jaw 73 also includes a movable block 733, which is movably provided on the movable block 732 along the thickness direction of the photovoltaic panel. The first clamping portion 7311 is connected to the movable block 732, so that when the second clamping portion 7312 is rotated to be level with the photovoltaic panel, the second clamping portion 7312 is driven toward the photovoltaic panel by the movable block 733 to reliably stop the second clamping portion 7312 against the photovoltaic panel, so that the second clamping portion 7312 has a larger contact area with the photovoltaic panel, so that the clamping jaw 73 can reliably clamp the photovoltaic panel, thereby improving the reliability of the pick-up and placement component 7.

[0065] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the pick-up and disassembly arm 70 further includes: a first sensor 74, the first sensor 74 is provided on the surface of the first clamping portion 7311 facing the other clamping finger 731, the first sensor 74 is used to detect the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel; in this way, it is possible to judge whether the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel is appropriate by monitoring the pressure value detected by the first sensor 74, and when the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel exceeds a preset range, the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel is adjusted to within the preset range by adjusting the movement of the two clamping fingers 731, thereby ensuring the clamping effect of the first clamping portion 7311 on the photovoltaic panel, and at the same time effectively reducing the risk of damage to the photovoltaic panel caused by excessive clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311, thereby improving the reliability of the pick-up and disassembly component 7.

[0066] The method for adjusting the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel to within a preset range is as follows: when the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel is greater than the preset range, the two clamping fingers 731 are driven to move back-to-back in the second direction to reduce the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel, and the clamping force applied by the first clamping plate to the photovoltaic panel is adjusted to within the preset range; when the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel is less than the preset range, the two clamping fingers 731 are driven to move toward each other in the second direction to increase the clamping force applied by the first clamping portion 7311 to the photovoltaic panel, and the clamping force applied by the first clamping plate to the photovoltaic panel is adjusted to within the preset range.

[0067] Reference Figure 8In some embodiments of the present invention, the pick-and-place assembly / disassembly arm 70 further includes a second sensor 75 disposed on the surface of the second clamping portion 7312 facing the pick-and-place bracket 71. The second sensor 75 is configured to detect the pressure applied by the second clamping portion 7312 to the photovoltaic panel. This allows the pressure value detected by the second sensor 75 to be monitored to determine whether the pressure applied by the second clamping portion 7312 to the photovoltaic panel is appropriate. If the pressure applied by the second clamping portion 7312 to the photovoltaic panel exceeds a preset range, the second clamping portion 7312 is rotated (or the movable block 732 is driven to move) to adjust the pressure applied by the second clamping portion 7312 to within the preset range. This ensures the effective clamping effect of the second clamping portion 7312 on the photovoltaic panel, effectively reduces the risk of damage to the photovoltaic panel caused by excessive clamping force applied by the second clamping portion 7312, and improves the reliability of the pick-and-place assembly 7.

[0068] Reference Figure 9 According to other embodiments of the present invention, the clamping jaw 73 further includes an anti-slip member 76 connected to the clamping fingers 731. The anti-slip member 76 is used to increase the friction between the clamping jaw 73 and the photovoltaic panel when the clamping jaw 73 contacts the photovoltaic panel. For example, the anti-slip member 76 may be a rubber member, and the surface of the anti-slip member 76 may also be provided with a pattern. This can increase the friction between the clamping fingers 731 and the photovoltaic panel, allowing the clamping jaw 73 to more securely grip the photovoltaic panel and improving the reliability of the pick-and-place assembly 7.

[0069] Reference Figures 9-12 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the new board storage device 20 also includes two new board conveying mechanisms 2 arranged at intervals along the first direction, each new board conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveying chain 21 and a first support plate, the first conveying chain 21 is arranged along the up and down directions, the first support plate is connected to the first conveying chain 21, and the first support plate extends toward the other new board conveying mechanism 2 on the horizontal plane, there are multiple first support plates, and the multiple first support plates are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first conveying chain 21, two first support plates opposite to each other on the horizontal plane; wherein the first direction is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane is perpendicular to the up and down directions.

[0070] When storing new photovoltaic panels, the first new photovoltaic panel can be placed on the first support plate on the top layer, and then the first transmission chain can be rotated to drive the first support plate supporting the first new photovoltaic panel to move downward until the other first support plate adjacent to it is located at the top layer of multiple first support plates on that side, and the transmission chain can be stopped, and the next new photovoltaic panel can be placed on the first support plate that is now at the top layer, and the above steps can be repeated until the first support plate supporting the first new photovoltaic panel is located at the bottom layer of multiple first support plates on that side, and the last new photovoltaic panel can be placed on the first support plate that is now at the top layer, completing the storage of the maximum storage quantity of new photovoltaic panels by the new panel storage device 20.

[0071] In this way, multiple new photovoltaic panels can be stored together in intervals along the upper and lower directions, avoiding the risk of damage caused by multiple new photovoltaic panels being pressed together and rubbing against each other, so that multiple new photovoltaic panels can be reliably stored in the new panel storage device 20, thereby improving the reliability of the new panel storage device 20.

[0072] When a new photovoltaic panel is to be taken, the first conveyor chain 21 can be used to drive the first support plate supporting the topmost new photovoltaic panel to move upward until the first support plate supporting the topmost new photovoltaic panel reaches the topmost layer of the plurality of first support plates on that side. Then, the loading and unloading arm 70 is driven to remove the new photovoltaic panel on the topmost layer. The above steps are repeated each time a new photovoltaic panel is to be taken. In this way, the new photovoltaic panel can be taken.

[0073] Reference Figure 9 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the new panel storage device 20 further includes a supporting gantry 3, there are two supporting gantry 3, and the two supporting gantry 3 are spaced apart along the third direction. For example, when "the new photovoltaic panel is placed flat on the new panel storage device, and the picking and placing bracket 71 uses the clamping fingers 731 to clamp the new photovoltaic panel", the third direction is parallel to the second direction.

[0074] Each supporting gantry 3 includes a supporting column 31, a guide longitudinal beam 32 and a distance-adjusting longitudinal beam 33. There are two supporting columns 31, and the two supporting columns 31 are spaced apart along the first direction. The guide longitudinal beam 32 is connected between the two supporting columns 31. The distance-adjusting longitudinal beam 33 is rotatably connected between the two supporting columns 31. The guide longitudinal beam 32 and the distance-adjusting longitudinal beam 33 are spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0075] The new plate conveying mechanism 2 also includes a synchronous bracket 23 and a gear 24. The synchronous bracket 23 extends in the up and down directions, and the synchronous bracket 23 includes a guide hole and an adjustment hole. The guide longitudinal beam 32 is passed through the guide hole, and the distance-adjusting longitudinal beam 33 is passed through the adjustment hole, and the distance-adjusting longitudinal beam 33 is threadedly matched with the adjustment hole. There are two gears 24, and the two gears 24 are respectively connected to the two ends of the synchronous bracket 23 in the up and down directions. The first conveying chain 21 is arranged on the radial outside of the two gears 24, and the first conveying chain 21 is engaged with both gears 24; wherein, the third direction is perpendicular to the up and down direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0076] By utilizing the threaded fit between the adjustable longitudinal beam 33 and the adjustment hole, as well as the guiding fit between the guide longitudinal beam 32 and the guide hole, the adjustable longitudinal beam 33 can be driven to rotate to adjust the distance between the two first conveying chains 21 in the first direction, that is, to adjust the distance between the two first support plates in the first direction. In other words, the new panel storage device 20 can store photovoltaic panels of different sizes in the first direction, thereby improving the applicability of the new panel storage device 20.

[0077] By setting up a synchronization bracket 23 to connect the two gears 24, the position of the two gears 24 in the first direction can be adjusted by driving the synchronization bracket 23, reducing the risk of the first conveying chain 21 tilting due to inconsistent displacement of the two gears 24 in the up and down directions, so that the intervals between the two first support plates of each layer in the first direction are the same, thereby improving the reliability of the new plate storage device 20.

[0078] Reference Figures 9-11 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first support plate includes two support sub-plates 221, and the new plate conveying mechanism 2 includes two sets of conveying components, each set of conveying components includes a synchronization bracket 23, a gear 24, a first conveying chain 21 and a support sub-plate 221, and the support sub-plate 221 is connected to the side of the first conveying chain 21 close to the other conveying component;

[0079] Reference Figure 9 The new plate storage device 20 further includes a bottom bracket 41, a distance-adjusting beam 42, and a distance-adjusting block 43. The bottom bracket 41 is connected to the plate of the carrying plate vehicle 10. The distance-adjusting beam 42 is rotatably mounted on the bottom bracket 41. The distance-adjusting block 43 is sleeved on the distance-adjusting beam 42 and threadedly engaged with the distance-adjusting beam 42. The support column 31 is connected to the distance-adjusting block 43. For example, the distance-adjusting beam 42 is provided with one distance-adjusting block 43, and one supporting mast 3 is connected to the distance-adjusting block 43; for example, the distance-adjusting beam 42 is provided with two distance-adjusting blocks 43, and two supporting masts 3 are connected to their corresponding distance-adjusting blocks 43, and the internal threads of the two distance-adjusting blocks 43 are threaded in opposite directions.

[0080] By utilizing the threaded fit between the distance adjusting block 43 and the distance adjusting beam 42, the position of the distance adjusting block 43 on the distance adjusting beam 42 can be adjusted by driving the distance adjusting beam 42 to rotate, that is, the spacing between the two supporting gantries 3 in the second direction is adjusted, and the spacing between the two supporting sub-panels 221 in the second direction is also adjusted. In other words, the new panel storage device 20 can store photovoltaic panels of different sizes in the second direction, thereby improving the applicability of the new panel storage device 20.

[0081] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the supporting sub-plate 221 includes a first plate 2211, a second plate 2212, a third plate 2213 and a fourth plate 2214. The third plate 2213 is connected to the first conveying chain 21. The first plate 2211 is connected to the lower end of the third plate 2213, and the first plate 2211 is located on a side of the third plate 2213 close to another conveying component. The second plate 2212 is connected to the upper end of the third plate 2213, and the second plate 2212 is located on a side of the third plate 2213 close to another conveying component. The size of plate 2212 in the third direction is smaller than the size of the first plate 2211 in the third direction. The fourth plate 2214 is connected to the first plate 2211, the second plate 2212 and the third plate 2213 at one end away from the other new plate conveying mechanism 2. The first plate 2211, the second plate 2212, the third plate 2213 and the fourth plate 2214 jointly define a limiting groove 2215. The new photovoltaic panel is suitable for being inserted into the limiting groove 2215, that is, the distance between the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 in the up and down directions is greater than the thickness of the new photovoltaic panel.

[0082] By setting the size of the second plate 2212 in the third direction to be smaller than the size of the first plate 2211 in the third direction, when storing a new photovoltaic panel, the new photovoltaic panel can be placed on the first plate 2211 through the gap between the two second plates 2212, thereby avoiding the second plate 2212 interfering with the storage of the new photovoltaic panel; when taking a new photovoltaic panel, the new photovoltaic panel placed on the first plate 2211 can be taken out through the gap between the two second plates 2212, thereby avoiding the second plate 2212 interfering with the taking of the new photovoltaic panel.

[0083] After placing the new photovoltaic panel on the first plate 2211, the new photovoltaic panel can be moved in the third direction and inserted into the limiting groove 2215. In this way, the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 can be used to limit the new photovoltaic panel in the up and down directions, the third plate 2213 can be used to limit the new photovoltaic panel in the second direction, and the fourth plate 2214 can be used to limit the new photovoltaic panel in the third direction, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the new photovoltaic panel falling from the first support plate, so that the new photovoltaic panel can be reliably stored in the new panel storage device 20, thereby improving the reliability of the new panel storage device 20.

[0084] Reference Figure 9According to some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the new panel storage device 20 also includes two middle support mechanisms 5. In the first direction, the two middle support mechanisms 5 are located between the two new panel conveying mechanisms 2. The two middle support mechanisms 5 are spaced apart along the third direction. The middle support mechanism 5 includes a second conveying chain 51 and a second support plate 52. The second conveying chain is arranged along the up-down direction. The second support plate 52 is connected to the second conveying chain 51, and the second support plate 52 extends toward the other middle support mechanism 5 on the horizontal plane. There are multiple second support plates 52, and the multiple second support plates 52 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first conveying chain 21. The two first support plates and the two second support plates 52 on the same horizontal plane are used to jointly support the new photovoltaic panels; wherein the third direction is perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0085] When the new photovoltaic panel is placed on the first support plate on the same horizontal plane, the second support plate 52 on the same horizontal plane can support the new photovoltaic panel, so that the second support plate 52 can bear part of the weight of the new photovoltaic panel, reducing the weight borne by the two first support plates and the two second support plates 52 on the same horizontal plane individually, reducing the risk of the first support plate or the second support plate 52 tilting, so that the two first support plates and the two second support plates 52 on the same horizontal plane can reliably support the new photovoltaic panel; at the same time, the two middle support mechanisms 5 are both arranged between the two new panel conveying mechanisms 2, and the second support plate 52 is located between the two first support plates, so that the second support plate 52 can support the middle part of the new photovoltaic panel in the first direction, reducing the risk of the new photovoltaic panel bending and deformation due to the large distance between the two first support plates, and further improving the reliability of the new panel storage device 20.

[0086] According to some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the two new board conveying mechanisms 2 are respectively a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism, the waste board storage device 60 includes a waste board conveying mechanism, the waste board conveying mechanism is arranged on the side of the first conveying mechanism away from the second conveying mechanism, the waste board conveying mechanism includes a third conveying chain and a third support plate, the third support plate is connected to the third conveying chain, and the third support plate extends toward the second conveying mechanism in the horizontal plane, there are multiple third support plates, and the multiple third support plates are spaced apart along the extension direction of the third conveying chain, the first conveying chain 21 is provided with a first support plate on both sides of the first direction, the first support plate close to the waste board conveying mechanism and the third support plate corresponding to it in the horizontal plane jointly support the old photovoltaic panel.

[0087] When replacing photovoltaic panels, the first support plate supporting the top new photovoltaic panel can be driven upward by the first conveyor chain 21 until the first support plate supporting the top new photovoltaic panel moves to the top of multiple first support plates on this side, and then the removed old photovoltaic panel is placed on the third support plate located on the top, and the top new photovoltaic panel is taken away and placed in the working position; then the first support plate supporting the new photovoltaic panel is driven upward to move upward, and the first support plate supporting the top new photovoltaic panel among the remaining multiple new photovoltaic panels is moved to the top of multiple first support plates on this side, and the third support plate supporting the old photovoltaic panel is synchronously driven downward to place the third support plate that does not support the photovoltaic panel on the top of multiple third support plates; and then the above steps are repeated each time the photovoltaic panel is replaced.

[0088] In this way, the first conveying mechanism can be used to store and retrieve new photovoltaic panels, and the first conveying mechanism can be used to store old photovoltaic panels, reducing the number of conveying mechanisms set in the new panel storage device 20 and the waste panel storage device 60, and effectively reducing the production cost of the photovoltaic panel disassembly and assembly vehicle 100.
