Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic equipment production and installation assembly lines, in particular to a novel flexible lower tooling equipment. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic panels, also known as solar panels, are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy. They consist of multiple photovoltaic cells, which are usually thin sheets of semiconductor materials (such as silicon). When sunlight shines on a photovoltaic panel, photons are absorbed by the photovoltaic cells, causing electrons to be excited and form an electric current. This current is introduced into the inverter through the output terminals of the photovoltaic panel and finally converted into AC power for use in the power grid.

[0003] During the production process of photovoltaic panels, the photovoltaic panels are assembled in an assembly line. The assembled photovoltaic panels also need to be installed with electrical components and electrical quality inspection. The installation of photovoltaic panels involves pole-type installation components and electrical control boxes. The electrical quality inspection requires the junction box to be inserted into the electrical control box when the photovoltaic panels are assembled, and then the electrical quality inspection is carried out. After the inspection is completed, the junction box needs to be unplugged from the electrical control box when the photovoltaic panels are installed. At present, the installation of these components is all done with industrial equipment. For example, when the photovoltaic panels are installed, the photovoltaic components are positioned by cylinders, and then another cylinder is used to clamp the tooling and place it on the photovoltaic panels. In the next process, the junction box is clamped by cylinders and placed on the tooling. When the photovoltaic panels are installed, the photovoltaic panels are positioned by cylinders in the next process, and then the junction box is clamped by another cylinder to be unplugged. It needs to be divided into multiple assembly line operations, which makes the overall equipment larger, occupies a large space, has high cost, and low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a device that uses collaborative robots for unloading work to solve the problems of large space occupation, high cost and low production efficiency in the installation of existing photovoltaic modules and electrical quality inspection using industrial automation.
