[0017] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the figure, this application discloses a battery string replenishment and layout machine, including a machine body 1, a layout conveyor line 2, a material box device 3, a robot 4, an EL detector 5, and a monitoring device 6. The layout conveyor line 2 passes through the interior of the machine body 1. The material box device 3 is disposed on the machine body 1 and has multiple battery string placement positions, where the battery strings are placed. The robot 4 is disposed on the machine body 1 and includes a robot body 41 and a suction manipulator 42. The suction manipulator 42 is connected to the robot body 41, and the robot 4 uses the suction manipulator 42 to absorb battery strings. The EL detector 5 is disposed on the machine body 1 and is located to one side of the robot 4. The battery strings at the battery string placement positions are absorbed by the suction manipulator 42 to the detection position for detection by the EL detector 5. The monitoring device 6 is disposed on the machine body 1 and is located above the layout conveyor line 2. The monitoring device 6 includes a layout monitoring camera 61.

[0020] In use, the battery string replenishment and layout machine of this embodiment can place various battery strings of different specifications in the battery string placement position of the material box device 3, for example, it can place battery strings A and battery strings B. The layout conveyor line 2 transports the layoutd battery panels to the machine body 1, and then the layout monitoring camera 61 takes a picture of the battery panels to determine the specifications of the missing battery strings. Then, the robot body 41 of the robot 4 drives the suction robot 42 to pick up the corresponding battery strings from the material box device 3, and moves the battery strings to the detection position for detection by the EL detector 5. Finally, the suction robot 42 replenishes the detected battery strings to the corresponding positions on the battery string. The battery string replenishment and layout machine of this embodiment can be placed on the battery panel layout production line and can automatically perform replenishment operations on the layoutd battery panels without affecting the layout cycle of the layout production line, ensuring the normal and efficient operation of the layout production line.

[0021] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, to accommodate the placement of battery strings, the material box device 3 includes a material box body 31, a plurality of material trays 32 and a plurality of material tray moving mechanisms 33 disposed on the material box body 31. The material box body 31 can be fixed to the machine body 1 by bolts. The plurality of material trays 32 are spaced apart along the height direction of the material box body 31, and the plurality of material tray moving mechanisms 33 are respectively connected to the corresponding material trays 32. The material tray moving mechanisms 33 drive the material trays 32 to move along the width direction of the material box body 31; the battery string placement position is located on the material trays 32.

[0022] Multiple trays 32 are slidably connected to the material box body 31. To achieve this slidable connection, the tray moving mechanism 33 includes a tray drive 331, a sliding rod 332, and a sliding rail 333. The tray drive 331 and the sliding rail 333 are fixed to one side of the material box body 31, and the sliding rod 332 is fixed to the other side. One end of the tray 32 is connected to the tray drive 331, and both ends of the tray 32 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 332 and the sliding rail 333 respectively via sliders. Preferably, the tray drive 331 can be a cylinder. The sliding rod 332 and the sliding rail 333 can both be bolted to the material box body 31, and the slider can be fitted onto the sliding rod 332. After the tray drive unit 331 is activated, it drives the connected tray box to slide along the movable slide bar 332 and the movable slide rail 333, thereby pushing out the tray 32 to facilitate the retrieval of the battery strings placed on it. Since each tray drive unit 331 is individually connected to a tray 32, each tray 32 can be controlled independently, making retrieval more convenient.

[0023] For example, a battery string of type A can be placed on the first-layer tray 32, and a battery string of type B can be placed on the second-layer tray 32. When it is necessary to remove the battery string of type A, the tray drive 331 connected to the first-layer tray 32 drives the tray 32 to move and push the first-layer tray 32 out. When it is necessary to remove the battery string of type B, the tray drive 331 connected to the second-layer tray 32 drives the tray 32 to move and push the tray 32 out from under the first-layer tray 32.

[0024] In order to achieve the adsorption and movement of the battery string, the robot body 41 can be an existing four-axis robot or a six-axis robot, which can move in multiple directions, thereby driving the battery string adsorbed by the adsorption manipulator 42 to move in multiple directions.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption robot 42 includes an adsorption base 421, an adsorption fixing plate 422, multiple adsorption suction cups 423, and multiple suction cup fixing plates 424. The adsorption base 421 is connected to the robot body 41. The middle part of the adsorption fixing plate 422 is connected to the adsorption base 421 by bolts. The multiple suction cup fixing plates 424 are spaced apart along the length of the adsorption fixing plate 422 and are connected and fixed to the adsorption fixing plate 422 by bolts. The multiple adsorption suction cups 423 are respectively fixed to the multiple suction cup fixing plates 424. When adsorbing a battery string, the adsorption robot 42 first moves the vacuum suction cups above the battery string, then the adsorption suction cups 423 adsorb the battery string, and then the adsorption robot 42 moves the battery string to a predetermined position for placement. The adsorption suction cups 423 achieve adsorption of the battery string through vacuum adsorption.

[0026] In one embodiment, because the battery string is wavy, unevenness may occur at the busbar connection points on the battery string. Therefore, after removing the battery string, it is necessary to flatten the busbars. To achieve the flattening operation, a flattening device 7 is also provided on the machine body 1. The flattening device 7 is located on one side of the material box device 3, and the battery string taken out from the material box device 3 can be directly transferred to the flattening device 7 for flattening.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the flattening device 7 includes a flattening platform 71 and a flattening assembly 72, the flattening assembly 72 being connected to the robot body 41. Figure 6 As shown, another type of adsorption robot 42 has been designed. The flattening assembly 72 may include multiple flattening plates 721, which are fixed to multiple suction cup fixing plates 424 by bolts. The adsorption suction cups 423 are located on both sides of the flattening plates 721. After the adsorption robot 42 adsorbs the battery string from the tray 32, it first places the battery string on the flattening platform 71. Then, the robot body 41 drives the adsorption robot 42 to move, causing the flattening plates 721 on the adsorption robot 42 to press down on the battery string, thereby flattening the busbars on the battery string.

[0028] In another embodiment, the flattening component 72 can be disposed above the flattening platform 71. The structure of the flattening component 72 is similar to that of the adsorption robot 42 described above, and a flattening plate 721 is also fixed on the suction cup fixing plate 424. The difference is that the flattening component 72 can be driven to move up and down by a linear module or a cylinder, thereby flattening the busbars on the battery string through the flattening plate 721.

[0029] In other embodiments, rollers may be provided at both ends of the adsorption fixing plate 422 of the adsorption manipulator 42. After the rollers come into contact with the battery string, the robot body 41 drives the adsorption manipulator 42 to move, so that the rollers press the busbar during the rolling process.

[0030] Since a single tray 32 can hold multiple battery strings, and these battery strings can be stacked vertically, with a separator paper between adjacent battery strings, the separator paper needs to be removed before the battery strings below the separator paper can be adsorbed when the adsorption robot 42 picks up the battery strings. Therefore, a first separator paper platform 8 is also provided on the machine body 1. The first separator paper platform 8 is located on one side of the flattening platform 71, which is located between the first separator paper platform 8 and the material box device 3. After the adsorption robot 42 picks up the battery strings, the separator paper below the battery strings can be adsorbed and moved onto the first separator paper platform 8 by the adsorption robot 42, thus facilitating the adsorption of the battery strings located below.

[0031] In one embodiment, the typesetting machine further includes a correction component 9, which is disposed on the machine body 1 and located above the flattening platform 71. Specifically, the correction component 9 is a conventional CCD camera, which can be fixed to one side of the flattening platform 71 by a bracket or the like.

[0032] After the battery string is flattened on the flattening platform 71, a CCD camera photographs the battery string to determine if it is in the correct position. If the battery string is misaligned, a suction robot 42 corrects and straightens it.

[0033] After the battery string's position is corrected, the suction robot 42 picks up the battery string, and the robot body 41 moves the battery string to the detection position, where it is inspected by an EL detector 5. This EL detector 5 can be any existing EL detector 5, which uses the principle of electroluminescence to detect internal defects in the battery string, thereby determining whether the battery string is qualified. The detection position can be located on the EL detector 5.

[0034] In one embodiment, a second paper-separating platform 10 and a waste platform 11 are also provided on the body 1. The waste platform 11 is located on one side of the second paper-separating platform 10, and the first paper-separating platform 8 and the second paper-separating platform 10 are respectively located on opposite sides of the robot 4.

[0035] When a battery string is found to be defective, the suction robot 42 picks it up and transfers it to the waste platform 11. Since the battery strings need to be separated by paper dividers, dividers can be pre-placed on the second divider platform 10. Before placing the defective battery string on the waste platform 11, the suction robot 42 first picks up the dividers from the second divider platform 10 and places them on the waste platform 11. Then, the suction robot 42 moves the defective battery string to the dividers on the waste platform 11 for placement.

[0036] In one embodiment, a proximity sensor 13 can be installed on the adsorption robot 42 to determine whether the adsorption is of the battery string or the paper separator based on the height of the paper separator and the battery string adsorbed by the adsorption suction cup 423.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the battery string replenishment and layout machine further includes a flipping device 12. When the battery string detected by the EL detector 5 is a qualified product, the flipping device 12 needs to flip the battery string, and finally replenish the missing battery string on the battery plate. The flipping device 12 is disposed on the machine body 1. The flipping device 12 includes a flipping platform, a flipping mechanism 122, and a flipping adsorption component 123. The flipping mechanism 122 is located above the flipping platform. There are two flipping mechanisms 122. Each flipping mechanism 122 includes a horizontal moving component 1221, a vertical moving component 1222, and a flipping component 1223. The vertical moving component 1222 is connected to the horizontal moving component 1221, the flipping component 1223 is connected to the vertical moving component 1222, and the flipping adsorption component 123 is connected to the flipping component 1223. The flipping adsorption component 123 is located between the two flipping components 1223 and is driven to flip by the flipping component 1223.

[0038] The lateral movement assembly 1221 includes a lateral movement base 12211, a lateral movement cylinder 12212, a lateral movement slide rail 12213, and a lateral movement plate 12214. The lateral movement cylinder 12212 and the lateral movement slide rail 12213 are both bolted to the lateral movement base 12211. There are two lateral movement slide rails 12213, and the lateral movement cylinder 12212 is located between the two lateral movement slide rails 12213. The lateral movement plate 12214 is connected to the lateral movement cylinder 12212, and the lateral movement plate 12214 is slidably connected to the two lateral movement slide rails 12213 via sliders, allowing the lateral movement cylinder 12212 to drive the lateral movement plate 12214 to move along the lateral movement slide rails 12213.

[0039] The longitudinal moving assembly 1222 includes a longitudinal moving cylinder 12221, a longitudinal moving plate 12222, and a longitudinal fixing plate 12223. The longitudinal moving cylinder 12221 is fixed to the transverse moving plate 12214 by bolts. The longitudinal moving cylinder 12221 can be a slide cylinder. The longitudinal moving plate 12222 is connected to the longitudinal moving cylinder 12221 and is driven by the longitudinal moving cylinder 12221 to move in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal fixing plate 12223 is connected to the longitudinal moving plate 12222 by bolts, and the tilting assembly 1223 is fixed to the longitudinal fixing plate 12223. Preferably, the tilting assembly 1223 can be a rotary cylinder.

[0040] Furthermore, the flip-adsorption assembly 123 includes a flip-adsorption fixing base 1231 and a plurality of flip-adsorption suction cups 1232. The plurality of flip-adsorption suction cups 1232 are fixed on the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231, and are spaced apart along the length of the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231. Preferably, a plurality of suction cup connecting plates 1233 can be fixed to the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231 by bolts, and the plurality of flip-adsorption suction cups 1232 are respectively fixed on the suction cup connecting plates 1233. The flip-adsorption suction cup 1232 can be a vacuum suction cup, and the battery string can be picked up through vacuum adsorption.

[0041] The two ends of the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231 are respectively connected to two flipping components 1223. Specifically, connecting seats 1234 can be fixed to both ends of the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231 by bolts, and the connecting seats 1234 are connected to the drive shaft of the flipping component 1223. When the flipping component 1223 is started, it can drive the flip-adsorption fixing base 1231 to flip, thereby driving the flipping suction cup 1232 to flip.

[0042] After the battery string passes inspection, the suction robot 42 picks up the battery string and moves it to the flipping platform. Then, the horizontal moving component 1221 and the vertical moving component 1222 move the flipping suction cup 1232 above the battery string and pick it up. Next, the flipping component 1223 is activated, causing the flipping suction cup 1232 and the battery string to flip 180 degrees. Finally, the flipped battery string is placed on the flipping platform. After the battery string is flipped, the suction robot 42 then picks it up and places it in the missing battery position on the battery plate.

[0043] In one embodiment, the structure of the flattening device 7 can be configured to be similar to that of the flipping device 12, and the flattening plate 721 is fixed to the suction cup connecting plate 1233.

[0044] In one embodiment, the layout monitoring camera 61 can also be an existing CCD camera, which is fixed to the machine body 1 by a bracket. After the solar panel is transported into the machine body 1 via the layout conveyor line 2, the CCD camera takes a picture of the solar panel to determine whether the solar panel is missing any battery strings, and the number, location, and specifications of the missing battery strings. When the suction robot 42 replenishes the missing battery strings to the solar panel, the placement of the battery strings can also be guided by the CCD camera.

[0045] The aforementioned layout conveyor line 2 can be an existing conveyor belt, capable of conveying the solar panels. In one embodiment, alignment components can also be provided on both sides of the layout conveyor line 2 to align the solar panels, facilitating the placement of the battery strings. The alignment component may include a cylinder and an alignment plate connected to the cylinder. The cylinder drives the alignment plate to move, and the alignment plate pushes the solar panels to move, thereby achieving the alignment of the solar panels.

[0046] The battery string replenishment and layout machine of this application embodiment can not only replenish battery strings of various specifications, but also detect and flip the battery strings to ensure that the battery strings added to the solar panels are qualified, thus guaranteeing the quality of the solar panels. This battery string replenishment and layout machine can automatically perform the battery string replenishment operation, making the layout production line run more smoothly and avoiding downtime due to material shortages that could affect production capacity.

[0047] Second embodiment: The following description refers to Example 1 to illustrate this example: This embodiment provides a string-matching typesetting method for a string-matching typesetting machine. This string-matching typesetting method is applied to the string-matching typesetting machine described in the first embodiment, and includes the following steps: The layout conveyor line 2 transports the layoutd battery panels into the machine body 1. This battery string can be composed of battery strings A and B. It should be noted that this battery panel is not a finished product, but rather a panel assembled from battery strings A and B arranged in a specific layout.

[0048] The layout monitoring camera 61 of the monitoring device 6 takes pictures of the solar panel and determines whether there are any missing battery strings.

[0049] After the battery panel is transported into the machine body 1, the layout monitoring camera 61 first takes a picture of the battery panel to determine whether there are any missing battery strings on the assembled battery panel, as well as the location, quantity and specifications of the missing battery strings.

[0050] Based on the monitoring results of the monitoring device 6, the robot body 41 drives the adsorption manipulator 42 to adsorb the corresponding battery string from the battery string placement position and onto the EL detector 5 for testing.

[0051] If the layout monitoring camera 61 determines that there are no missing battery strings on the battery board, the layout conveyor line 2 can directly transport the battery board to the next process. If a battery string is missing, the tray drive 331 pushes out the corresponding tray 32, and the suction robot 42 takes out the battery string of the corresponding specification from the tray 32. Then, the suction robot 42 flattens the battery string on the flattening platform 71 for flattening, and then transfers the battery string to the EL detector 5 for inspection.

[0052] The suction robot 42 replenishes the qualified battery strings to their corresponding positions on the battery plate. When the battery string detected by the EL detector 5 is qualified, the suction robot 42 transfers the battery string to the flipping platform for flipping, and then replenishes the flipped battery string to its corresponding position on the battery plate. The battery plate is then transported out. When the battery string detected by the EL detector 5 is unqualified, the suction robot 42 transfers the battery string to the waste platform 11 for storage, where workers will subsequently repair the unqualified products.

[0053] It should be noted that whether or not the battery strings need to be flipped depends on the battery board being conveyed; this step is not mandatory. If both the battery strings in the tray 32 and those on the battery board are facing upwards, flipping is not required. However, if one battery string in the tray 32 is facing upwards and the other is facing downwards, then flipping is necessary.
