DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A typesetter 100 for photovoltaic modules according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a typesetter 100 for photovoltaic modules according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a mounting platform 1 , a plurality of conveying modules 2 , a positioning module 3 and a rotating module 4 .

[0027] Specifically, the mounting platform 1 has a first direction and a second direction that are orthogonal to each other. Multiple conveying modules 2 are arranged on the mounting platform 1. In the description of the present utility model, "multiple" means two or more. Multiple conveying modules 2 are spaced apart along the first direction, and each conveying module 2 is suitable for placing a battery string. The positioning module 3 is located downstream of the conveying direction of the multiple conveying modules 2, and the positioning module 3 is used to measure the offset of the battery string. The rotation module 4 is located upstream of the conveying direction of the multiple conveying modules 2, and the rotation module 4 is used to rotate the battery string so that the directions of the positive and negative poles of the battery string are interchanged.

[0028] For example, in Figure 1-Figure 5 In the example, the width direction of the installation platform 1 is the first direction (eg Figure 1 The left and right direction in the figure), the height direction of the installation platform 1 is the second direction (such as Figure 1 A plurality of conveying modules 2 are arranged on one side of the first direction of the installation platform 1, and the plurality of conveying modules 2 extend along the length direction of the installation platform 1. Two conveying modules 2 are arranged in the first direction, and the length direction of the installation platform 1 (for example, Figure 1 Two conveying modules 2 are also provided in the front-to-back direction of the mounting platform 1, and the two adjacent conveying modules 2 are arranged at intervals, so the number of conveying modules 2 can be 4. In this way, the number of battery strings conveyed by the conveying module 2 is increased, and the work efficiency is improved. The positioning module 3 is located on one side of the first direction of the mounting platform 1, and the positioning module can be used to determine whether the position of the battery string is offset so as to smoothly carry out subsequent processing. The rotation module 4 is located on one side of the length direction of the mounting platform 1, and is located above at least one conveying module 2 to facilitate the operation of the rotation module 4.

[0029] When the battery string is typeset, the positive and negative poles are connected. When the battery strings are moved to the conveying module 2 in sequence, the orientations of the positive and negative poles of 50% of the battery strings need to be interchanged. Specifically, after the battery string is placed on the conveying module 2, the rotating module 4 needs to rotate part of the battery string to interchange the orientations of the positive and negative poles of the battery string. The battery string is then moved on the conveying module 2 to the downstream of the conveying module 2. The positioning module 3 is used to measure whether the position of the battery string is offset so that the battery string can enter the next process. During this process, the rotating module 4 and the positioning module 3 can work simultaneously, saving the operation time of the battery string. As a result, the working efficiency of the typeset machine 100 is improved, and the typesetting speed of the battery string is improved.

[0030] According to the typesetting machine 100 for photovoltaic modules of the embodiment of the utility model, a rotating module 4, a positioning module 3 and a plurality of conveying modules 2 are arranged on the typesetting machine 100. Therefore, compared with the conventional typesetting machine for photovoltaic modules, the operation time of the battery string on the typesetting machine 100 is saved, the working efficiency of the typesetting machine 100 is improved, the working time is saved, and the typesetting speed of the battery string is improved.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning module 3 and the rotation module 4 are located on the same side of the first direction of the installation platform 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the positioning module 3 and the rotating module 4 are both located on one side of the installation platform 1 in the first direction, and the conveying module 2 is located below the positioning module 3 and the rotating module 4. Since the rotating module 4 and the positioning module 3 both need to operate the battery string on the conveying module 2, such a configuration facilitates the work of the positioning module 3 and the rotating module 4, reduces the movement stroke of the positioning module 3 and the rotating module 4, and improves the work efficiency.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the rotating module 4 includes a first slide rail 41, a first driving member 42 and a first suction cup assembly 43. The first slide rail 41 is located above the conveying module 2, and the first slide rail 41 extends along the first direction. The first driving member 42 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 41 through a connecting plate 44. The first suction cup assembly 43 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 42, and the first suction cup assembly 43 is used to absorb the battery string. Among them, the first driving member 42 drives the first suction cup assembly 43 to rotate when working.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first slide rail 41 is located above the mounting platform 1. The connecting plate 44 extends along the second direction of the mounting platform 1, and the connecting plate 44 is located at one end of the length direction of the first slide rail 41. One end of the connecting plate 44 in the length direction is connected to the first slide rail 41, and the other end of the connecting plate 44 in the length direction is installed with the first driving member 42. The cross-section of the connecting plate 44 is in the shape of a right triangle, and the middle part of the connecting plate 44 is hollowed out. The first suction cup assembly 43 is located below the connecting plate 44, and is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 42 through the side wall of the connecting plate 44. The first suction cup assembly 43 extends along the length direction of the conveying module 2. The first suction cup assembly 43 is located above the conveying module 2, so that the first suction cup assembly 43 can absorb the battery string and the first suction cup assembly 43 can drive the battery string to rotate along the horizontal plane. Since the positive and negative electrodes of the battery strings need to be connected when they are laid out, the orientations of the positive and negative electrodes of some battery strings need to be interchanged. The first suction cup assembly 43 absorbs the battery string on the conveying module 2 and rotates the battery string horizontally by 180°, so that the orientations of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery string can be interchanged. The probability that the battery string needs to be rotated is 50%, that is, every other battery string needs to be rotated once.

[0034] Specifically, when the first driving member 42 is working, the output shaft of the first driving member 42 will rotate, which can drive the first suction cup assembly 43 to rotate, so as to smoothly rotate the battery string 180°. When the battery string that does not need to interchange the positive and negative poles is moved to the conveying module 2, the first suction cup assembly 43 does not absorb the battery string. In this way, the battery string can be adjusted upstream of the conveying module 2, which is convenient for the battery string to carry out subsequent processes, saving the time of the battery string on the typesetting machine 100 and improving work efficiency.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second slide rail 45 is provided between the first slide rail 41 and the connecting plate 44. The second slide rail 45 extends along the second direction and is slidably connected to the first slide rail 41 and the connecting plate 44, respectively. Figure 1-Figure 3 In the example, the second slide rail 45 is provided at one end of the first slide rail 41 in the first direction. The connecting plate 44 can slide along the second slide rail 45 in the second direction, and the second slide rail 45 can slide along the first slide rail 41 in the first direction. Thus, the rotation module 4 can slide along the x-axis and the z-axis, and can move between multiple conveying modules 2, and can also absorb and lift and rotate the battery string, which increases the flexibility and freedom of the rotation module 4, and is conducive to improving the working efficiency of the rotation module 4.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating module 4 further includes a second driving member 46 and a third driving member 47. The second driving member 46 is disposed at the end of the first slide rail 41, and is used to drive the second slide rail 45 to slide along the first slide rail 41. The third driving member 47 is disposed at the end of the second slide rail 45, and is used to drive the connecting plate 44 to slide along the second slide rail 45. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the second driving member 46 is arranged in the length direction of the first slide rail 41 (for example, Figure 1 The third driving member 47 is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the second slide rail 45 (for example, Figure 1 In the up-down direction in the middle) of the connecting plate 44, the first suction cup assembly 43 is arranged to be away from the connecting plate 44. With such an arrangement, the second slide rail 45 can slide smoothly along the first slide rail 41 under the driving action of the second driving member 46, so that the first suction cup assembly 43 can move above multiple conveying modules 2, thereby selecting a battery string that needs to interchange the positive and negative pole directions. And the connecting plate 44 can slide smoothly along the second slide rail 45 in the second direction under the driving action of the third driving member 47, so that the first suction cup assembly 43 can smoothly suck up the battery string, and after rotating the battery string, smoothly place the battery string on the conveying module 2. With such an arrangement, the freedom of movement of the rotating module 4 is increased, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the typesetting machine 100 for photovoltaic modules further includes a first bracket 5, the first bracket 5 extends along the second direction, and the two ends of the first bracket 5 are respectively connected to the first slide rail 41 and the installation platform 1. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first bracket 5 is arranged at the end of the first slide rail 41 in the length direction, one end of the first slide rail 41 in the length direction is connected to the first slide rail 41, and the other end of the first bracket 5 in the length direction is connected to the mounting platform 1. The number of the first brackets 5 can be two, and the two first brackets 5 are respectively located at the two ends of the first slide rail 41 in the first direction. The two first brackets 5 support the first slide rail 41 above the conveying module 2 to facilitate the installation of the rotating module 4, increase the structural stability of the rotating module 4, and improve the space utilization.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the typesetting machine 100 for photovoltaic modules further includes a mechanical arm 6 and a plurality of second suction cup assemblies 61. The mechanical arm 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 1, and the mechanical arm 6 is located on the side of the positioning module 3 away from the rotating module 4. The plurality of second suction cup assemblies 61 are all arranged at the free end of the mechanical arm 6, and the plurality of second suction cup assemblies 61 correspond to the plurality of conveying modules 2 one by one. The second suction cup assemblies 61 and the mechanical arm 6 cooperate to move the battery string away from the conveying module 2. For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 5 In the example, the robot arm 6 is installed in the middle of the mounting platform 1. A plurality of second suction cup assemblies 61 are used to absorb the battery string on the conveying module 2 located below the positioning module 3 to move the battery string to the next process. The number of the second suction cup assemblies 61 can be 2, and the two second suction cup assemblies 61 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the two second suction cup assemblies 61 correspond to the two conveying modules 2 one by one. With this arrangement, the robot arm 6 can absorb two battery strings at the same time, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mechanical arm 6 is located on one side of the positioning module 3 adjacent to the center of the mounting platform 1. Figure 1 As shown, the robot arm 6 is adjacent to the positioning module 3, which facilitates the robot arm 6 to absorb the battery string on the conveying module 2 below the positioning module 3, reduces the movement of the robot arm 6, saves working time, improves work efficiency, and at the same time, makes the structural arrangement of the typesetting machine 100 more reasonable and improves space utilization.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning module 3 includes a plurality of second brackets 31 and a plurality of cameras 32. The plurality of second brackets 31 correspond to the plurality of conveying modules 2 one by one, and each second bracket 31 is located on one side of the second direction of the corresponding conveying module 2. The plurality of cameras 32 are respectively arranged on the plurality of second brackets 31, and the plurality of cameras 32 are located above the conveying module 2. Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the number of the second brackets 31 can be 2, one second bracket 31 is located on one side of the mounting platform 1 in the first direction, and the other second bracket 31 is located in the middle of the mounting platform 1, and the two second brackets 31 are parallel to each other and extend along the length direction of the mounting platform 1. A plurality of cameras 32 are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the second bracket 31. The number of cameras 32 can be 4, that is, there are 2 cameras 32 on each second bracket 31, and a camera 32 is respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of each second bracket 31. The distance between the two cameras 32 located on the same second bracket 31 is equal to the length of the battery string, so that when the battery string moves to the conveying module 2, the two ends of the length direction of the battery string can be captured by the camera 32 to determine whether the position of the battery string is offset, and to adjust in time to prepare for the second suction cup assembly 61 to absorb the battery string. In this way, the robot arm 6 can directly absorb the battery string, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning module 3 further includes a crossbar 33, which is disposed on one side of the second bracket 31 adjacent to the rotating module 4, and the crossbar 33 is connected to the plurality of second brackets 31.
