Description

[0003] In related technologies, a photovoltaic panel is placed in a solid packing box, and a specially designed foam support frame is sleeved around the photovoltaic panel for protection. When sleeving the foam support frame, the foam support frame needs to be manually sleeved around the four corners of the photovoltaic panel, and then the photovoltaic panel is manually loaded into the packing box. However, in order to avoid the photovoltaic panel from shaking in the packing box, the outer wall of the foam support frame needs to be attached to the inner wall of the packing box. If the foam support frame is sleeved around the photovoltaic panel first, the size of the foam support frame will increase, and additional manual pressure is needed to put it into the packing box. In this process, whether it is sleeving the foam support frame or manually putting the photovoltaic panel into the packing box, it is easy to cause the corners of the photovoltaic panel to be broken.

[0004] Therefore, how to avoid the manual packing of the photovoltaic panel from causing the corners of the photovoltaic panel to be broken is a technical problem to be solved at present.

[0064] It is found through research that in the related art, when manually setting the foam support frame on the photovoltaic panel and packing, the uneven pressure caused by manual pressing easily causes the edges of the photovoltaic panel to be broken, and there is also the problem of low packing efficiency.

[0066] The defects of the above solutions are the results of the inventors after practice and careful research, and therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure for the above problems in this paper should be the contribution of the inventors to the present disclosure in the process of the present disclosure.

[0067] It should be noted that like reference numerals and characters refer to like elements throughout the several views of the drawings, and that, unless otherwise indicated, like reference numerals and characters in different figures indicate like elements therein.

[0068] Some embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail in connection with the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other, if not in conflict.

[0069] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 at least one embodiment provides a boxing mechanism for photovoltaic panels, comprising: a driving arm 100; a clamping assembly 200 arranged at the execution end of the driving arm 100; wherein the clamping assembly 200 comprises: two oppositely arranged clamping heads 210; a support 220 rotatably arranged at the bottom surface of each clamping head 210; and a driving member 230 for driving the support 220 to rotate.

[0070] Referring to Figure 7 , a control module is configured to control the driving arm 100 to drive the clamping assembly 200 to grab the photovoltaic panel 500, and control the driving member 230 to drive the support 220 to be in a first working state to support the photovoltaic panel 500 (as shown in Figure 4 ); and the control module is further configured to control the driving arm 100 to drive the clamping assembly 200 to place the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300, and then control the driving member 230 to drive the support 220 to be in a second working state to outwardly expand the foam support frame 400 in the packaging box 300 (as shown in Figure 6 ), so as to facilitate the photovoltaic panel 500 to be embedded in the foam support frame 400.

[0071] By automatically controlling the driving arm 100 and the clamping assembly 200 through the control module, the whole process of grabbing, supporting and placing the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300 is realized, and by switching the two working states of the support 220, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported in the first working state, and the foam support frame 400 is outwardly expanded in the second working state, thereby providing sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500, which can be smoothly embedded in the foam support frame 400 without additional manual pressure, avoiding deformation or corner breakage of the photovoltaic panel due to forced extrusion, and improving the boxing efficiency and production efficiency.

[0072] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The support member 220 includes: a vertical plate 222, which is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the gripping head 210 via a rotating shaft 223; and a horizontal plate 221, which is connected to the vertical plate 222; 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, the vertical plate 222 is driven to rotate (rotation direction as shown in the figure). Figure 5 As shown in F2), rotate the two vertical plates 222 inward to press the photovoltaic panel into the foam support frame 400 (as shown in F2). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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.

[0078] Please see Figure 6In the second working state, the distance between the opposite sides of the vertical plate 222 of the two clamping heads 210 is L4; wherein L4

[0079] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The horizontal plate 221 is further provided with an air suction hole 221b; the air suction hole 221b is in communication with an external negative pressure source; the control module is further configured to, in the first working state, control the external negative pressure source to adsorb the photovoltaic panel 500 through the air suction hole 221b (the adsorption direction is as shown by F1 in Figure 4 The second working state is to control the external negative pressure source to suck the gap between the photovoltaic panel 500 and the inner bottom surface of the packaging box 300 through the air suction hole 221b (the air suction direction is as shown by F3 in Figure 6 ), so that the photovoltaic panel 500 is embedded into the foam support frame 400.

[0080] It should be noted that before the control module controls the driving member 230 to drive the support member 220 to switch from the first working state to the second working state, the control module controls the external negative pressure source to stop working to stop adsorbing the photovoltaic panel 500. By automatically releasing the adsorption before the state switching, it is ensured that the support member 220 can be freely flipped without pulling the photovoltaic panel 500.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 3 The driving member 230 includes a driving motor 231; the side wall of the clamping head 210 is provided with a mounting groove 211 for mounting the driving motor 231; the rotor of the driving motor 231 is engaged with the rotating shaft 223 through a helical gear.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 The driving arm 100 is provided with a lifting motor 110; the top of the clamping assembly 200 is provided with a lifting rack 120; the lifting rack 120 passes through the driving arm 100 and is engaged with the driving gear of the lifting motor 110 in the driving arm 100. The lifting rack 120 system provides linear smooth motion, ensuring that the photovoltaic panel 500 is vertically aligned when placed into the packaging box 300.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 8At least one embodiment also provides a working method applied to the boxing mechanism for photovoltaic panels as described above. The driving arm 100 and the clamping assembly 200 are automatically controlled by the control module to realize the whole process of grabbing, supporting and placing the photovoltaic panel 500 into the packaging box 300. Meanwhile, the two working states of the supporting member 220 are switched. In the first working state, the photovoltaic panel 500 is supported. In the second working state, the foam supporting frame 400 is expanded outwardly to provide sufficient embedding space for the photovoltaic panel 500, which can be smoothly embedded into the foam supporting frame 400 without manual additional pressure. The deformation or corner breakage of the photovoltaic panel caused by forced extrusion is avoided, and the boxing efficiency and production efficiency are improved.

[0084] Specifically, the working method comprises:

[0085] Step S110: The driving arm 100 drives the clamping assembly 200 to grab the photovoltaic panel 500 by the control module;

[0086] Step S120: The driving member 230 drives the supporting member 220 to be in the first working state to support the photovoltaic panel 500 by the control module;

[0089] Step S150: The driving arm 100 drives the clamping assembly 200 to separate from the packaging box 300 by the control module, and the boxing is completed.
