Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a clamping device for removing a photovoltaic panel frame, belonging to the technical field of photovoltaic panel recycling. Background Art

[0002] During the recycling process of photovoltaic panels, it is necessary to remove parts other than the photovoltaic panels to achieve the greatest possible utilization of waste. During the removal process, a clamping device is needed to fix the photovoltaic panels. Considering that photovoltaic panels are mainly composed of glass, the stability of the clamping device directly affects the integrity and recycling efficiency of the photovoltaic panels. In the current photovoltaic panel recycling process, most of the photovoltaic panels are clamped by some old mechanical structures, which require manual operation by workers. Due to the manual participation, the recycling process is discontinuous, which reduces the recycling efficiency. The automatic clamping device ensures the continuity of recycling and avoids damage to the photovoltaic panels due to improper operation. At the same time, the existing devices for removing the frames of photovoltaic panels are large in size and have linear guides. The removal mechanisms on the devices all move linearly. When facing some photovoltaic panels with strange shapes, the removal effect will be greatly reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0053] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a clamping device for removing a photovoltaic frame, comprising: a driving mechanism 1 and a clamping mechanism 2, the driving mechanism 1 comprising: a first cylinder 11, a cylinder seat 12, a floating head 13, an upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14, a first rack 15, a transmission wheel 16, a clamping mechanism 2, a lower clamping jaw fixing plate 17, a guide rail 18, a second slider 19, a diagonal rod 110, a guide plate 111, a second rack 112, a first slider 113, a fixed base plate 114, an intermediate rotating shaft 115, and a bearing 116; the clamping mechanism 2 comprises: a second cylinder 21, an upper clamping jaw inlet rib plate 22, a photoelectric frame 23, an infrared sensing device 24, an upper clamping jaw 25, a floating plate 26, a lower clamping jaw 27, a lower clamping jaw rib plate 28, and a push plate 211.

[0054] The clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on the driving mechanism 1 . The driving mechanism 1 is the power source of the entire clamping mechanism 2 . Under the action of the driving mechanism 2 , the clamping mechanism 2 can fix the photovoltaic panel.

[0055] The cylinder base 12 is fixed to one end of a fixed base plate 114, and the first cylinder 11 is fixed to the cylinder base 12. A guide rail 18 is fixed to each side of the fixed base plate 114. Two first sliders 113 and two second sliders 19 are mounted on each end of the guide rail 18. The upper jaw fixing plate 14 is fixed to the two first sliders 113, while the lower jaw fixing plate 17 is fixed to the two second sliders 19. A slot is defined at the top of the upper jaw fixing plate 14. The output of the first cylinder 11 passes through the cylinder base 12 and connects to the floating head 13. The floating head 13 forms a form fit with the slot, securing the upper jaw fixing plate 14 to the floating head 13, transmitting the power of the first cylinder 11 to the upper jaw fixing plate 14. The two first sliders 113 and the two second sliders 19 are symmetrically arranged on the two guide rails 18. The four sliders are movably connected to the guide rails via a moving pair, ensuring smooth motion transmission.

[0056] A first rack 15 is fixed to the bottom of the upper jaw fixing plate 14, and a second rack 112 is fixed to the bottom of the lower jaw fixing plate 17. The first rack 15 is located on one side of the fixed base plate, and the second rack 112 is located on the other side of the fixed base plate. The first rack 15 and the second rack 112 are arranged opposite each other. A transmission wheel 16 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base plate 114, between the first rack 15 and the second rack 112. A bearing 116 has one end fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 114 via bolts, and the other end is mounted on the fixed base plate 114. A rotating shaft 115 and the bearing 116 are fixedly engaged with a washer, allowing the transmission wheel 16 to be rotatably mounted on the fixed base plate 114. The first rack 15 and the second rack 112 are matched with the transmission wheel 16. The first rack 15, in conjunction with the transmission wheel 16, transfers kinetic energy to the second rack 112, converting the kinetic energy into effective mechanical energy. The first cylinder 11 , the floating head 13 , the upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14 , the first rack 15 , the second rack 112 , and the lower clamping jaw fixing plate 17 constitute a complete kinematic chain.

[0057] The guide plate 111 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the fixed base plate 114 . An inclined rod 110 is disposed on the guide plate 111 . The inclined rod 110 is tilted on the guide plate 111 to form an angle with the guide plate 111 .

[0058] The upper clamping jaw 25 is an inverted L-shaped structure, comprising a top plate and side plates. One end of the top plate is fixed to the upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14. A push plate hole is provided on the top plate. The top of the second cylinder 21 is fixed to the bottom of the cylinder base 12. The output end of the second cylinder 21 passes through the push plate hole and is fixedly connected to the push plate 211, allowing the push plate 211 to move up and down along the push plate hole.

[0059] The two upper jaw ribs 22 are fixedly mounted on the top plate of the upper jaw 25 and are located on either side of the second cylinder, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the upper jaw 25. The photoelectric frame 23 has the same structure as the upper jaw, being an inverted L-shaped structure. One end of the two photoelectric frames 23 is fixedly mounted on either side of the top plate, while the other end is spaced apart from the side panels. Two infrared sensors 24 are fixedly mounted on the side of the photoelectric frame 23 facing the side panels. The two photoelectric frames 23 are symmetrically mounted on the upper jaw, enabling the clamping mechanism 2 to detect the presence of a photovoltaic panel.

[0060] The lower jaw 27 is fixed to the lower jaw fixing plate 17, and two lower jaw ribs 28 are fixed to the bottom sides of the lower jaw 27, respectively, to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the lower jaw 27. One end of the floating plate 26 is fixed to the middle position of the top of the lower jaw 27, and the lower portion of the floating plate 26 is fixedly connected to the lower jaw fixing plate 17. The top plate of the upper jaw 25 is provided with a notch 251 in the middle position on the side facing the fixed base plate 114. The other end of the floating plate 26 is matched with the notch and can move up and down within the notch. The up and down movement of the lower jaw 27 drives the other end of the floating plate 26 to move up and down along the notch, making the upper jaw 25 and the lower jaw 27 more stable during the closing process.

[0061] Working process: During operation, the infrared sensor 24 on the clamping mechanism 2 detects whether the photovoltaic panel has entered the clamping device. When the photovoltaic panel is detected to have entered, the first cylinder 11 on the drive mechanism 1 pushes the floating head 13, which transmits power to the upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14. The upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14 drives the upper clamping jaw 25 to move together. At the same time, the first rack 15 set below the upper clamping jaw fixing plate 14 engages with the transmission wheel 16, causing the transmission wheel 16 to rotate on the bearing 116; then the transmission wheel 16 engages with the second rack 22, realizing synchronous transmission between the first rack 15, the transmission wheel 16, and the second rack 112. The second rack 112 is fixed to the bottom of the lower clamping jaw fixing plate 17, and the lower clamping jaw 27 is fixed on the lower clamping jaw fixing plate 17. As a whole, under the push of the first cylinder 11, the upper clamping jaw 25 and the lower clamping jaw 27 move toward each other on the same horizontal line. The upper clamping jaw 25 is downward and the lower clamping jaw 27 is upward. When both the upper clamping jaw 25 and the lower clamping jaw 27 contact the photovoltaic panel, the clamping of the photovoltaic panel is completed. After clamping the photovoltaic panel, the corresponding mechanism separates the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic panel. During the separation process, due to external factors, the aluminum frame adheres to the photovoltaic panel, resulting in material blockage and the inability to unload the material independently. In order to overcome this type of problem, an auxiliary aluminum frame removal mechanism is additionally added to the upper clamping jaw 25 in the clamping mechanism 2. After the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic panel is separated, the second cylinder 21 pushes the push plate 211. The push plate 211 passes through the push plate hole of the upper clamping jaw 25 to further squeeze the photovoltaic panel, prompting the photovoltaic panel to be completely separated from the aluminum frame. After completion, the first cylinder 11 outputs an opposite driving force, causing the upper clamping jaw 25 and the lower clamping jaw 27 to move in opposite directions and gradually move away. The aluminum frame flows out along the inclined rod 110 set on the fixed bottom plate 114, completing the entire process.

[0062] In this device, the clamping mechanism, with the help of the driving mechanism, fixes the photovoltaic panel with the clamping mechanism, effectively solving the difficulties of low recycling efficiency and poor processing quality of the photovoltaic panel. On the other hand, the clamping mechanism can help the photovoltaic panel remove the aluminum frame. When the photovoltaic panel is in the process of removing the aluminum frame, it will be stuck in the clamping mechanism for some reasons. The cylinder in the clamping mechanism will push the aluminum frame to cause it to detach, greatly improving the recycling efficiency, solving the problem of equipment jamming, and being able to return and unload materials autonomously.

[0063] The clamping device for removing the photovoltaic panel frame can use an infrared sensing device to determine whether the photovoltaic panel has entered the clamping device. When the infrared sensing device detects the photovoltaic panel, the clamping mechanism will work under the drive of the power drive mechanism, ensuring the continuity of the photovoltaic panel recovery process and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0064] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the description and implementation methods. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein.
