Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar cell mounting technology, and more specifically to a fully automatic solar cell mounting device. Background Technology
[0002] Solar panels are devices that absorb sunlight and convert solar radiation energy directly or indirectly into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. In recent years, due to the dwindling crude oil reserves worldwide, energy issues have become a global focus. To address the energy depletion crisis, the development and utilization of various alternative energy sources are of paramount importance. With rising environmental awareness, coupled with the advantages of zero pollution and inexhaustible resources, solar energy has become the most prominent focus in related fields.
[0003] In the production process of solar panels, an electrical fixture needs to be installed on the back of the solar panel. One end of the fixture is connected to the solar panel, and the other end is connected to the battery to convert the electrical energy absorbed by the solar panel. The existing production and installation process of the electrical fixture usually involves inserting the solar panel from the side of the frame into the support, then clamping the electrical fixture to the corresponding position, and fixing the fixture after insertion. However, during the insertion process, insertion failure often occurs due to incomplete alignment or misalignment, and even damage to the fixture or solar panel, resulting in losses. Therefore, a detection and positioning device for solar panel insertion and loading is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0022] 1. By setting up a servo motor, a sliding sleeve cylinder, and a finger-gripping cylinder, the sliding sleeve cylinder is used to drive the servo motor to move up and down, which in turn drives the finger-gripping cylinder to move up and down. The servo motor is used to control the rotation of the finger-gripping cylinder and adjust its own angle so as to better fit the power connector on the power-on fixture. When the power-on fixture is transported to the clamping and insertion mechanism by the feeding mechanism, the finger-gripping cylinder clamps the connector.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely illustrates some embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0035] 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.
[0036] Example:
[0037] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a fully automatic solar cell backplate installation device.
[0038] A fully automated solar cell backplate installation device includes a frame 1;
[0039] The loading end of the frame 1 is equipped with a loading mechanism 2, from which the power-on fixture loads materials;
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes three sets of parallel transmission belts 21 located at the feeding end of the frame 1. Each transmission belt 21 has a rotating shaft 22 connected to both ends, and the rotating shaft 22 is connected to all transmission belts 21. A drive motor 23 is located on the side end of one transmission belt 21, and the output end of the drive motor 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 22. The drive motor 23 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belts 21 to move, thus transporting the energized fixture on the transmission belts 21 forward. In use, the energized fixture is placed on the transmission belt 21 and moved forward by the transmission belt 21.
[0041] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding slide rail 24 located at the end of the conveyor belt. A clamping claw 25 is mounted on the feeding slide rail 24. The clamping claw 25 includes a sliding plate 26 mounted on the feeding slide rail 24, a feeding cylinder 27 mounted on the sliding plate 26, and a clamping cylinder 28 mounted on the feeding cylinder 27. The feeding cylinder 27 controls the clamping cylinder 28 to move up and down, causing the clamping cylinder 28 to move downwards towards the electrical fixture, whereby the clamping cylinder 28 clamps the electrical fixture.
[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the sliding plate 26 extends outward, and a baffle cylinder 29 is installed at the extended end of the sliding plate 26. The bottom end of the baffle cylinder 29 is connected to an upper stop block 291 via a spring, and a vertical stop block 292 is installed at the output end of the baffle cylinder 29. By setting the upper stop block 291, after the clamping cylinder 28 clamps the electrical fixture, the electrical fixture abuts against the upper stop block 291, completing the positioning. The spring is used to maintain the force between the two, buffering the impact force and preventing damage to the electrical fixture. Then, the baffle cylinder 29 drives the vertical stop block 292 to move laterally, clamping both ends of the electrical fixture, completing the clamping of both ends of the electrical fixture. Automated feeding is achieved by automatically clamping both ends of the electrical fixture.
[0043] The frame 1 is provided with a clamping and inserting mechanism 3 located behind the feeding mechanism 2 in the feeding direction. The clamping and inserting mechanism 3 is used to clamp the workpiece and insert the power-on tooling into the battery back plug.
[0044] Inspection mechanism 4, located on frame 1, is used to inspect whether the tooling is in the correct position during the transfer process;
[0045] The clamping and inserting mechanism 3 includes a first slide rail 32 mounted on the frame 1, a first linear module 33 slidably mounted on the first slide rail 32, and a receiving guide rail 34 mounted on the first linear module 33. The receiving guide rail 34 is provided with two synchronous gripper assemblies 31.
[0046] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the gripper assembly 31 includes a second linear module 311 mounted on the receiving guide rail 34, a slide cylinder 312 mounted on the second linear module 311, a servo motor 313 mounted on the slide cylinder 312, and a finger-gripping cylinder 314 mounted at the output end of the servo motor 313. The second linear module 311 drives the gripper assembly 31 to slide along the receiving guide rail 34. The slide cylinder 312 drives the servo motor 313 to move up and down, thereby driving the finger-gripping cylinder 314 to move up and down. The servo motor 313 controls the rotation of the finger-gripping cylinder 314 to adjust its angle for better adaptation to the power connector on the power supply fixture. When the power supply fixture is transported to the clamping and insertion mechanism 3 by the feeding mechanism 2, the finger-gripping cylinder 314 clamps the connector. The servo motor 313 drives the finger-gripping cylinder 314 to rotate and adjust its angle for better adaptation to the insertion angle, thus avoiding damage during the insertion process.
[0047] The finger-clamping cylinder 314 includes a cylinder body 3141, two separate clamping fingers 3142 located on both sides of the bottom end of the cylinder body 3141, and an L-shaped plate 3143 mounted on one of the clamping fingers 3142, with one end of the L-shaped plate 3143 extending into the space between the clamping fingers 3142. In use, the slide cylinder 312 drives the finger-clamping cylinder 3144 downwards, causing the top of the electrical fixture to contact the L-shaped plate 3143. Upon application of force, the slide cylinder 312 stops, and the L-shaped plate 3143 limits the top of the electrical fixture for easy positioning. Afterwards, the cylinder body 3141 drives the clamping fingers 3142 to move towards the center, clamping the electrical fixture and allowing for more precise positioning.
[0048] The top of the receiving guide rail 34 is provided with a top slide rail 35, and the side end of the receiving guide rail 34 is provided with a side slide rail 36. Both the top slide rail 35 and the side slide rail 36 have locking grooves 37 on their side walls. The bottom end of the second linear module 311 is adapted to the locking groove 37 to slide along the top slide rail 35. The side wall of the slide cylinder 312 is provided with a side slider 38 that is slidably connected to the side slide rail 36. By providing the side slide rail 36 and the top slide rail 35 with locking grooves 37, the gripper assembly 31 is limited from multiple directions, ensuring the stability of the gripper assembly 31 during operation.
[0049] A junction box 39 is provided at the bottom of the receiving rail 34. The junction box 39 is sealed on three sides, and grid openings are provided on both side walls of the junction box 39. By setting up the junction box 39, the wiring of electronic components is constrained, the overall neatness is improved, and the tangling of wires is prevented.
[0050] The receiving guide rail 34 is equipped with a synchronous belt module 5, and each gripper assembly 31 is connected to a set of synchronous belt modules 5. By setting the synchronous belt modules 5, the two gripper assemblies 31 are kept in a symmetrical and synchronous state during operation, thereby improving the smoothness of operation.
[0051] See Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 4 includes an L-shaped connecting block 41 mounted on the frame 1. A CCD camera 42 is vertically mounted on the L-shaped connecting block 41, and the CCD camera 42 is positioned vertically downwards towards the solar panel. The CCD camera 42 detects whether the plug is correctly inserted and simultaneously detects the position of the power-on fixture, ensuring that the power-on fixture is in the correct position. If it is not properly inserted, the control gripper assembly 31 is activated to re-grip the plug.
[0052] The top of the frame 1 is equipped with four evenly distributed flat panel lights 43. The flat panel lights 43 are used to increase the illumination, making it easier for the CCD camera 42 to distinguish and for the user to observe.
