Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic installation technology, and more specifically to an automated photovoltaic module installation device. Background Technology

[0002] Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, as an important component of renewable energy, are widely used in various locations around the world, including residential, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. However, the traditional installation process for PV modules typically requires a large amount of manual labor, including handling and adjusting angles. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to installation errors and safety issues.

[0003] Existing installation equipment also requires manual labor to feed the photovoltaic panels into the clamping part and clamp them, resulting in low work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing an automated photovoltaic module installation device that arranges photovoltaic panels on a support frame and uses a robotic arm to automatically pick up and install the photovoltaic panels during use.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention: an automated photovoltaic module installation device, comprising, Tracked vehicles; The support frame includes a base mounted on the tracked vehicle, a sliding frame slidably mounted on the base, and a fixed frame mounted on the base; Multiple support components are provided, and are respectively rotatably mounted on the sliding frame and the fixed frame; An adjustment component is mounted on the base and its output end is connected to the sliding frame; A reset mechanism, disposed on the sliding frame and the fixed frame and capable of abutting against the support assembly; and... A robotic arm is mounted on the tracked vehicle.

[0006] Preferably, both the sliding frame and the fixed frame are provided with multiple sets of three storage slots in each set; the support assembly includes a mounting base rotatably disposed in the storage slot and a sliding roller rotatably disposed on the mounting base.

[0007] Preferably, the lower part of the mounting base is provided with a guide ramp.

[0008] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes multiple sets of reset components corresponding to the storage slot and slidably disposed on the sliding frame and the fixed frame, as well as a pushing mechanism disposed on the sliding frame and the fixed frame; the reset components can abut against the mounting base.

[0009] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a guide post disposed on the sliding frame and the fixed frame, a push rod slidably disposed on the guide post, three impact posts disposed on the push rod and respectively located at the three storage slots, and an elastic member disposed on the guide post and whose output end abuts against the push rod.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a push plate disposed on the sliding frame and the fixed frame, and a telescopic cylinder disposed on the output end of the push plate and capable of abutting against the push rod.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a guide rail disposed on the base and slidably connected to the sliding frame, a lead screw rotatably disposed on the base and threadedly connected to the sliding frame, and a motor disposed on the base and whose output end is connected to the lead screw.

[0012] Preferably, the robotic arm includes a robotic arm rotatably mounted on the tracked vehicle, and two connecting assemblies, both mounted on the robotic arm; the robotic arm includes a support base rotatably mounted on the tracked vehicle, a lifting column slidably mounted on the support base, a telescopic arm slidably mounted on the lifting column, a connecting rod mounted on the telescopic arm, and an adjusting clamp mounted at the lower end of the connecting rod.

[0013] Preferably, the adjusting clip includes a fixing part, a sliding part slidably disposed on the fixing part, and an adjusting part disposed on the fixing part for driving the sliding part to move; the connecting components are respectively disposed on the fixing part and the sliding part.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting frame disposed on the fixed part and the sliding part, a support arm disposed on the connecting frame, a plurality of clamping blocks disposed on the support arm and slidably disposed on the support arm, a slide rod disposed on the support arm and slidably connected to the clamping blocks, and an elastic member two disposed on the slide rod and abutting against the clamping blocks.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: 1. In this invention, the photovoltaic panel can be easily placed in by the sliding roller, so that the photovoltaic panel can be inserted one by one into the support frame and separated by the support component. When the photovoltaic panel moves upward, it will push the mounting seat above, so that the mounting seat rotates into the storage groove, thereby making it easy to move the photovoltaic panel directly upward and take it out.

[0016] 2. The robotic arm clamps the photovoltaic panels, removing them sequentially from the top to the bottom. Once the top panel is removed, the support components are no longer under pressure. As the lower panels move upward, they contact the guide ramp, causing the mounting base to rotate. This, in turn, moves the rollers into the receiving slot, allowing the panels to be removed directly without interruption. This simplifies the removal process, eliminating the need to manually pull each panel out. The robotic arm then moves the panels to the installation position for installation and fixation, eliminating the need for manual lifting. This automated feeding and installation process means that manual intervention is only required once the panels are in place.

[0017] After all the photovoltaic panels on the support frame are removed, the reset mechanism pushes the support components to reset, allowing the support components to be moved out of the storage slot so that photovoltaic panels can be inserted to support them and proceed to the next round of installation.

[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes an automated photovoltaic module installation device, comprising: Tracked vehicle 1, support frame 2, support assembly 3, adjustment assembly 6, reset mechanism, and robotic arm; The support frame 2 includes a base 201 mounted on the tracked vehicle 1, a sliding frame 202 slidably mounted on the base 201, and a fixed frame 203 mounted on the base 201; multiple support components 3 are provided and rotatably mounted on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203 respectively; an adjustment component 6 is mounted on the base 201 and its output end is connected to the sliding frame 202; a reset mechanism is mounted on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203 and can abut against the support components 3; and a robotic arm is mounted on the tracked vehicle 1.

[0021] Furthermore, both the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203 are provided with multiple sets of three storage slots in each set; the support assembly 3 includes a mounting base 301 rotatably disposed in the storage slot, and a sliding roller 303 rotatably disposed on the mounting base 301. A guide ramp 302 is provided at the lower part of the mounting base 301.

[0022] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel can be easily placed in the sliding roller 303, so that the photovoltaic panel can be inserted one by one into the support frame 2 and separated by the support component 3. When the photovoltaic panel moves upward, it will push the mounting base 301 located above, so that the mounting base 301 rotates into the storage groove, thereby making it easy to move upward and take out the photovoltaic panel directly.

[0023] The robotic arm clamps the photovoltaic panels and removes them sequentially from the top to the bottom. Once the top photovoltaic panel is removed, the support component 3 is relieved of pressure. As the lower photovoltaic panels move upward, they come into contact with the guide ramp 302, pushing the mounting base 301 to rotate. This causes the mounting base 301 to rotate the sliding roller 303 into the receiving slot, allowing the photovoltaic panels to be moved upward and removed directly without affecting the process. This simplifies the removal process, eliminating the need to pull out each panel individually. The robotic arm moves the photovoltaic panels to the installation position for installation and fixation, eliminating the need for manual lifting. This achieves automated feeding and installation, requiring only manual fixation once the photovoltaic panels are in the installation position.

[0024] After all the photovoltaic panels on the support frame 2 are removed, the support component 3 is reset by the reset mechanism, so that the support component 3 can be moved out of the storage slot and the photovoltaic panels can be inserted to support them for the next round of installation.

[0025] Example 2 like Figure 1-6As shown, the photovoltaic module automated installation equipment proposed in this invention, compared with Embodiment 1, the adjustment component 6 in this embodiment includes a guide rail 601 disposed on the base 201 and slidably connected to the sliding frame 202, a lead screw 602 rotatably disposed on the base 201 and threadedly connected to the sliding frame 202, and a motor 603 disposed on the base 201 and whose output end is connected to the lead screw 602.

[0026] In this embodiment, the motor 603 drives the lead screw 602 to rotate, and the lead screw 602 drives the sliding frame 202 to slide on the guide rail 601, thereby adjusting the distance between the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203. This allows for adjustment according to the size of the photovoltaic panel, so that both sides of the photovoltaic panel can rest on the support components 3 on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203. The photovoltaic panels are placed in layers by the support components 3, making it easy to remove the photovoltaic panels and facilitate installation.

[0027] Example 3 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the photovoltaic module automated installation equipment proposed in this invention, compared with Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the reset mechanism in this embodiment includes multiple sets of reset components 4 corresponding to the storage slot and slidably disposed on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203, and a pushing mechanism 5 disposed on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203; the reset components 4 can abut against the mounting base 301.

[0028] The reset assembly 4 includes a guide post 401 disposed on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203, a push rod 402 slidably disposed on the guide post 401, three impact posts 403 disposed on the push rod 402 respectively located at the three storage slots, and an elastic member 404 disposed on the guide post 401 with its output end abutting against the push rod 402.

[0029] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a push plate 501 disposed on the sliding frame 202 and the fixed frame 203, and a telescopic cylinder 502 disposed on the output end of the push plate 501 and capable of abutting against the push rod 402.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the photovoltaic panel moves upward, it will contact the support component 3 and push the support component 3 into the storage slot. When all photovoltaic panels except the bottom layer have moved into the storage slot, it proves that all photovoltaic panels on the support frame 2 have been unloaded. At this time, the push rod 402 can be pushed directly, so that the push rod 402 drives the impact column 403 to move, so that the impact column 403 pushes the support component 3 to the right, so that the support component 3 is reset. After the support component 3 is reset, the push rod 402 is released, and the elastic element 404 pushes the push rod 402 to move, so that the impact column 403 is removed from the storage slot.

[0031] When the push plate 501 drives the telescopic cylinder 502 to move toward the fixed frame 203, it can simultaneously drive all the push rods 402 to move, directly pushing all the support components 3 to the reset position, supporting the photovoltaic panels, and thus inserting the photovoltaic panels one by one into the support frame 2 to fix the photovoltaic panels.

[0032] Example 4 like Figure 1-6 As shown, the photovoltaic module automated installation equipment proposed in this invention, compared with Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 or Embodiment 3, the robotic arm in this embodiment includes a robotic arm 7 rotatably mounted on the tracked vehicle 1, and two connecting components 8, both mounted on the robotic arm 7.

[0033] The robotic arm 7 includes a support base 701 rotatably mounted on the tracked vehicle 1, a lifting column 702 slidably mounted on the support base 701, a telescopic arm 703 slidably mounted on the lifting column 702, a connecting rod 704 mounted on the telescopic arm 703, and an adjusting clamp 705 mounted at the lower end of the connecting rod 704.

[0034] The adjusting clamp 705 includes a fixed part, a sliding part slidably disposed on the fixed part, and an adjusting part disposed on the fixed part for driving the sliding part to move; the connecting component 8 is disposed on the fixed part and the sliding part respectively.

[0035] The connecting assembly 8 includes a connecting frame 801 disposed on the fixed part and the sliding part, a support arm 802 disposed on the connecting frame 801, a plurality of clamping blocks 803 disposed on the support arm 802 and slidably disposed thereon, a slide rod 804 disposed on the support arm 802 and slidably connected to the clamping blocks 803, and an elastic member 805 disposed on the slide rod 804 and abutting against the clamping blocks 803.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support base 701 can rotate on the tracked vehicle 1, the lifting column 702 can rise and fall on the support base 701, and the telescopic arm 703 can swing on the lifting column 702, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the telescopic arm 703. The telescopic arm 703 can extend and retract, driving the photovoltaic panel to move. The position of the connecting component 8 can be adjusted according to the size of the photovoltaic panel by adjusting the clamp 705. When clamping the photovoltaic panel, the support arm 802 is moved to both sides of the photovoltaic panel, and the support arm 802 is moved downwards, causing the clamping block 803 to be squeezed and moved to the lower part of the support arm 802. When the clamping block 803 is separated from the photovoltaic panel, the clamping block 803 is pushed to move by the elastic element 805, causing the clamping block 803 to pop out and move to the lower part of the photovoltaic panel, clamping the photovoltaic panel. Then, the adjusting clamp 705 is used to clamp the photovoltaic panel, thereby fixing the photovoltaic panel, moving the photovoltaic panel to the construction position, and adjusting the tilt angle to facilitate installation.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
