Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic panel packaging technology, specifically relating to a device for fixing photovoltaic panels inside a packaging box, and more particularly to a photovoltaic panel packaging mechanism and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] As an important solar energy conversion device, photovoltaic panels need to be properly protected during transportation to prevent damage to their brittle glass surface and edges due to collisions and compression.

[0003] In related technologies, photovoltaic panels are placed inside sturdy packaging boxes, and specially designed foam support frames are used to protect them. When installing these foam support frames, it is necessary to manually place them over the four corners of the photovoltaic panel, and then manually load the panel into the packaging box. However, to prevent the photovoltaic panel from shifting inside the box, the outer wall of the foam support frame needs to fit snugly against the inner wall of the box. If the foam support frame is placed around the perimeter of the photovoltaic panel first, its size will increase, requiring additional manual pressure to place it into the box. During this process, both the placement of the foam support frame and the manual pressure applied when placing the photovoltaic panel into the box can easily cause the corners of the photovoltaic panel to break.

[0004] Therefore, how to avoid the edge breakage of photovoltaic panels caused by manual packing is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This disclosure provides at least one packaging mechanism for photovoltaic panels and its working method.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a packaging mechanism for photovoltaic panels, comprising: Drive arm; A gripping assembly is disposed at the actuating end of the drive arm; The clamping component includes: Two gripping heads positioned opposite each other; Each gripper head has a rotatable support on its bottom surface; A driving component, used to drive the support component to rotate; The control module is configured to: control the drive arm to drive the gripping component to grasp the photovoltaic panel, and control the drive component to drive the support component to a first working state to support the photovoltaic panel; Furthermore, the control module is configured to: control the drive arm to move the clamping component to put the photovoltaic panel into the packaging box, and then control the drive component to move the support component to a second working state to open the foam support frame inside the packaging box outward so that the photovoltaic panel can be embedded in the foam support frame.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the support member includes: A horizontal plate is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the gripper head via a rotating shaft; A vertical plate, which is connected to the horizontal plate; When the control module controls the drive component to switch the support component from the first working state to the second working state, it drives the horizontal plate to flip, causing the two horizontal plates to rotate inward, so as to press the photovoltaic panel into the foam support frame.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom surface of the horizontal plate is an inclined surface; Furthermore, the bottom surfaces of the horizontal plates of the two gripping heads are tapered. When the drive arm moves the clamping assembly to put the photovoltaic panel into the packaging box, the inclined surface of the horizontal plate squeezes the inner top corner of the foam support frame.

[0010] In one alternative implementation, in the first working state, the distance between the opposite sides of the horizontal plates of the two gripping heads is L1; The length of the photovoltaic panel is L2; The distance between opposite sides of the foam-supported frame is L3; Where L1 < L3 < L2, the foam support frame is pushed outward.

[0011] In one alternative implementation, in the second working state, the distance between the opposite sides of the vertical plates of the two gripping heads is L4. Where L4 < L1, the photovoltaic panel is pressed into the foam support frame.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the horizontal plate is further provided with air intake holes; The air intake is connected to an external negative pressure source; The control module is also configured to, in the first working state, control the external negative pressure source to adsorb the photovoltaic panel through the air intake hole; and in the second working state, control the external negative pressure source to draw air through the air intake hole into the gap between the photovoltaic panel and the inner bottom surface of the packaging box, so that the photovoltaic panel is embedded into the foam support frame.

[0013] In one optional implementation, before the control module controls the drive component to switch the support component from the first working state to the second working state, the control module controls the external negative pressure source to stop working so as to stop adsorbing the photovoltaic panel.

[0014] In one alternative implementation, the drive element includes: Drive motor; The side wall of the gripper head is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the drive motor; The rotor of the drive motor meshes with the rotating shaft via helical gears.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, a lifting motor is provided inside the drive arm; The top of the gripping assembly is provided with a lifting rack; The lifting rack passes through the drive arm and meshes with the drive gear of the lifting motor inside the drive arm.

[0016] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a working method for a photovoltaic panel packing mechanism as described above, comprising: Step S110: The control module controls the drive arm to move the gripping component to grab the photovoltaic panel; Step S120: The control module controls the drive component to drive the support component to the first working state to support the photovoltaic panel; Step S130: The control module controls the drive arm to put the photovoltaic panel into the packaging box; Step S140: The control module controls the drive component to drive the support component to the second working state, so as to push the foam support frame inside the packaging box outward and embed the photovoltaic panel into the foam support frame. In step S150, the control module controls the drive arm to separate the gripping component from the packaging box, thus completing the packing process.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the photovoltaic panel packing mechanism and its working method automatically control the drive arm and gripping components through the control module to realize the entire process of grasping, supporting and placing the photovoltaic panel into the packaging box. At the same time, by switching between two working states of the support component, the photovoltaic panel is supported in the first working state, and the foam support frame is opened outward in the second working state, thereby providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel can be smoothly embedded into the foam support frame without manual additional pressure, avoiding deformation or edge breakage of the photovoltaic panel due to forced compression, and also improving packing efficiency and production efficiency.

[0028] Research has found that in related technologies, when manually fitting the foam support frame onto the photovoltaic panels and packing them into boxes, uneven pressure from manual pressing can easily lead to breakage of the photovoltaic panels' edges and corners. Additionally, the packing efficiency is too low.

[0029] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a packing mechanism and its working method. By switching between two working states of the support member 220, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported in the first working state, and the foam support frame 400 is pushed outward in the second working state, thereby providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500. The photovoltaic panel 500 can be smoothly embedded into the foam support frame 400 without manual additional pressure, avoiding deformation or corner breakage of the photovoltaic panel due to forced compression, and also improving packing efficiency and production efficiency.

[0030] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0032] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2At least one embodiment provides a packing mechanism for photovoltaic panels, including: a drive arm 100; a gripping assembly 200 disposed at the execution end of the drive arm 100; wherein the gripping assembly 200 includes: two gripping heads 210 disposed opposite to each other; a support member 220 rotatably disposed on the bottom surface of each gripping head 210; and a drive member 230 for driving the support member 220 to rotate.

[0034] Please see Figure 7 The control module is configured to: control the drive arm 100 to drive the gripping assembly 200 to grasp the photovoltaic panel 500, and control the drive component 230 to drive the support component 220 to a first working state to support the photovoltaic panel 500 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown); and the control module is further configured to: control the drive arm 100 to drive the clamping assembly 200 to place the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300, and then control the drive component 230 to drive the support component 220 to a second working state, so as to push the foam support frame 400 inside the packaging box 300 outward (as shown). Figure 6 (as shown), so that the photovoltaic panel 500 can be embedded in the foam support frame 400.

[0035] The control module automates the process of gripping, supporting, and placing the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300. Simultaneously, by switching between two working states of the support component 220, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported in the first working state, while in the second working state, the foam support frame 400 is expanded outwards, providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500. The photovoltaic panel 500 can be smoothly embedded into the foam support frame 400 without additional manual pressure, avoiding deformation or edge breakage caused by forced compression, and improving both packing and production efficiency.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support member 220 includes: a horizontal plate 221, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the gripping head 210 via a rotating shaft 223; and a vertical plate 222, which is connected to the horizontal plate 221. When the control module controls the drive member 230 to switch the support member 220 from a first working state to a second working state, it drives the horizontal plate 221 to rotate (rotation direction as shown in the figure). Figure 5 As shown in F2), rotate the two horizontal plates 221 inward to press the photovoltaic panel into the foam support frame 400 (as shown in F2). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0037] By flipping the horizontal plate 221, the foam support frame 400 is pressed in precisely and evenly, avoiding foam deformation or edge breakage of the photovoltaic panel 500 caused by uneven pressure during manual pressing.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The bottom surface of the horizontal plate 221 is an inclined surface 221a; and the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 221 of the two gripping heads 210 is constricted; when the driving arm 100 drives the gripping assembly 200 to put the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300, the inclined surface 221a of the horizontal plate 221 is used to squeeze the inner top corner of the foam support frame 400.

[0039] The inclined surface 221a generates a component force when it contacts the foam, squeezing the inner apex corner of the foam support frame 400, thereby facilitating the insertion of the photovoltaic panel 500 into the foam support frame 400. This avoids damage to the photovoltaic panel 500 that might occur if the foam support frame 400 is manually fitted.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 In the first working state, the distance between the opposite sides of the horizontal plates 221 of the two gripping heads 210 is L1; the length of the photovoltaic panel 500 is L2; ​​and the distance between the opposite sides of the foam support frame 400 is L3; wherein L1 < L3 < L2, so as to push the foam support frame 400 outward.

[0041] By limiting the dimensions of L1, L2, and L3, it is ensured that the photovoltaic panel 500 is completely embedded in the foam frame without manual assistance. This avoids the problem that the corners of the photovoltaic panel 500 are easily broken due to tilting and pressure, which is common in manual operation. At the same time, the photovoltaic panel 500 is nested inside the packaging box 300, eliminating the need for additional steps to press the nested photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300, thus improving the packing efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figure 6 In the second working state, the distance between the opposite sides of the vertical plates 222 of the two gripping heads 210 is L4, where L4 < L1, to press the photovoltaic panel 500 into the foam support frame 400. In the second working state, the vertical plates 222 retract inward, applying a slight, uniform downward pressure to the photovoltaic panel 500, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 500 is completely embedded in the foam frame without manual assistance, thus avoiding manual intervention and improving packing efficiency.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The horizontal plate 221 is also provided with an air intake hole 221b; the air intake hole 221b is connected to an external negative pressure source; the control module is also configured to, in the first working state, control the external negative pressure source to adsorb onto the photovoltaic panel 500 through the air intake hole 221b (adsorption direction as shown in the figure). Figure 4 (As shown in F1); In the second working state, the external negative pressure source is controlled to draw air through the suction hole 221b into the gap between the photovoltaic panel 500 and the inner bottom surface of the packaging box 300 (the suction direction is as shown in F1). Figure 6 As shown in F3, the photovoltaic panel 500 is embedded into the foam support frame 400.

[0044] It should be noted that before the control module controls the drive component 230 to switch the support component 220 from the first working state to the second working state, the control module controls the external negative pressure source to stop working, so as to stop adsorbing the photovoltaic panel 500. By automatically releasing the adsorption before the state switch, it is ensured that the support component 220 can rotate freely without pulling the photovoltaic panel 500.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 The driving component 230 includes: a driving motor 231; the side wall of the gripping head 210 is provided with a mounting groove 211 for mounting the driving motor 231; the rotor of the driving motor 231 meshes with the rotating shaft 223 through a helical gear.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 The drive arm 100 is equipped with a lifting motor 110; the top of the clamping assembly 200 is equipped with a lifting rack 120; the lifting rack 120 passes through the drive arm 100 and meshes with the drive gear of the lifting motor 110 inside the drive arm 100. The lifting rack 120 system provides linear and smooth movement, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 500 is vertically aligned when placed into the packaging box 300.

[0047] Please see Figure 8 At least one embodiment also provides a working method for the photovoltaic panel packing mechanism described above. The control module automatically controls the drive arm 100 and the gripping component 200 to realize the entire process of gripping, supporting and placing the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300. At the same time, by switching between two working states of the support member 220, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported in the first working state, and the foam support frame 400 is opened outward in the second working state, thereby providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500. The photovoltaic panel 500 can be smoothly embedded into the foam support frame 400 without manual additional pressure, avoiding deformation or edge breakage of the photovoltaic panel due to forced compression, and also improving packing efficiency and production efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, the working method includes: Step S110: Control the drive arm 100 to drive the gripping component 200 to grasp the photovoltaic panel 500 through the control module; Step S120: The control module controls the drive component 230 to drive the support component 220 to the first working state to support the photovoltaic panel 500; Step S130: Control the drive arm 100 via the control module to place the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300; Step S140: The control module controls the drive component 230 to drive the support component 220 to the second working state, so as to push the foam support frame 400 inside the packaging box 300 outward and embed the photovoltaic panel 500 into the foam support frame 400. Step S150: The control module controls the drive arm 100 to separate the gripping component 200 from the packaging box 300, thus completing the packing.

[0049] In summary, this invention provides a photovoltaic panel packing mechanism and its working method. The photovoltaic panel packing mechanism includes: a drive arm 100; a clamping assembly 200 disposed at the execution end of the drive arm 100; wherein the clamping assembly 200 includes: two opposing clamping heads 210; a support member 220 rotatably disposed on the bottom surface of each clamping head 210; a drive member 230 for driving the support member 220 to rotate; and a control module configured to control the drive arm 100 to drive the clamping assembly 200 to... The photovoltaic panel 500 is grasped, and the driving component 230 is controlled to drive the support component 220 to a first working state to support the photovoltaic panel 500. Furthermore, the control module is also configured to: control the driving arm 100 to drive the gripping component 200 to place the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300, and then control the driving component 230 to drive the support component 220 to a second working state to expand the foam support frame 400 inside the packaging box 300 outward so that the photovoltaic panel 500 can be embedded in the foam support frame 400. The control module automates the process of gripping, supporting, and placing the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300. Simultaneously, by switching between two working states of the support component 220, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported in the first working state, while in the second working state, the foam support frame 400 is expanded outwards, providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500. The photovoltaic panel 500 can be smoothly embedded into the foam support frame 400 without additional manual pressure, avoiding deformation or edge breakage caused by forced compression, and improving both packing and production efficiency.
