Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of frame feeding, in particular to a photovoltaic component aluminum frame high-efficiency feeding and loading device. [Background technology]

[0002] During the assembly and production process of photovoltaic modules, after laminating the various hierarchical structures together, it is necessary to use metal frames to protect the four sides of the laminated structure and assemble it into an integrated structure. The rectangular frame is composed of two long-side frames and two short-side frames by snap-on, splicing, screw connection, or adhesive connection. In order to realize automated production and improve production efficiency, it is now proposed to feed the incoming materials of the frame using a material frame, and then use a robot to take it out of the material frame and place it on a feeding and dividing buffer device. After the feeding device divides the materials, it moves to the glue dispensing station for glue dispensing, and then waits for the subsequent robot to take it away for the frame assembly operation around the photovoltaic module body. Therefore, it is necessary to design a feeding and dividing buffer device as mentioned above.

[0003] In the prior art, a frame storage machine disclosed in patent publication number CN206502380U includes a frame conveying mechanism, a frame material picking and transferring mechanism, and a frame material dividing and transferring mechanism, wherein the frame conveying mechanism includes four layers of conveyor lines, each layer of conveyor line conveys the frame from left to right, and at the right end of the conveyor line, the frame material picking and transferring mechanism takes out the frame at the end of each layer of conveyor line and places it on the frame material dividing and transferring mechanism. According to the structural description of the frame storage machine, since the frame material picking and transferring mechanism has movement in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, when taking the frames on the top three layers of conveyor lines, the frame material picking and transferring mechanism will interfere with the frames at the ends of other layers of conveyor lines below the current layer of conveyor line, resulting in the frame material picking and transferring mechanism being unable to enter the conveying section of the current layer of conveyor line to take the frames.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new photovoltaic module aluminum frame efficient feeding and loading device to solve the above technical problems. [Contents of the utility model]

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects of an efficient feeding and loading device for photovoltaic module aluminum frames: by setting a multi-layer frame conveyor line to output four frames to the same horizontal position at the same time, but staggered in height; then using a handling and clamping unit with a flipping function, when taking materials, multiple groups of clamping modules are distributed in upper and lower intervals, corresponding one by one to the height of the multi-layer frame conveyor line, and multiple frames are clamped at the same time; when releasing materials, multiple groups of clamping modules are flipped to a horizontally spaced distribution state, and the vertically distributed frames are transformed into a horizontal distribution.

[Specific implementation method]

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The present embodiment is a photovoltaic module aluminum frame efficient feeding and loading device 100, which includes a plurality of frame conveyor lines 1 spaced apart and distributed in parallel, and a conveying and clamping unit 2 arranged above the end of the frame conveyor line 1 for clamping and transporting a set of frames.

[0028] In this embodiment, four groups of frame conveyor lines 1 are arranged, which are spaced apart from each other, and the four groups of frame conveyor lines 1 realize the conveying and feeding of two long frames and two short frames. The ends of the four groups of frame conveyor lines 1 are aligned, and a material control and blocking mechanism 11 is arranged at the conveying end.

[0029] The four groups of frame conveyor lines 1 output four frames to the end, and the material control and blocking mechanism 11 is used to achieve blocking positioning, and ensure that only one frame reaches the end of the corresponding frame conveyor line 1 each time.

[0030] The material control and blocking mechanism 11 includes a first blocking plate 111 for stopping the first frame at the front of the frame conveying line 1 from conveying forward, a first cylinder 112 for driving the first blocking plate 111 to move up and down, a second blocking plate 113 for stopping the second frame at the front of the frame conveying line 1 from conveying forward, a second cylinder 114 for driving the second blocking plate 113 to move up and down or to rotate, and a third blocking plate 115 fixed at the end of the frame conveying line 1 to stop the frame from stopping.

[0031] The frame conveying line 1 is also provided with a first sensor 12 for detecting whether there is a frame at the blocking position of the first blocking plate 111 and a second sensor 13 for detecting whether there is a frame at the blocking position of the third blocking plate 115 .

[0032] In order to ensure that the frame 200 does not deviate when being transported on the frame conveyor line 1, and to ensure that the front and rear positions and left and right positions of the four frame conveyor lines 1 are within the set range when the frames are transported to the end, each frame conveyor line 1 is provided with a limiting side baffle 14 for limiting the position of the two ends of the frame 200.

[0033] The input end of the frame conveyor line 1 is provided with a return module 15 for returning the positions of the two ends of the frame entering the frame conveyor line 1. The return module 15 comprises a third cylinder 151 and a return plate 152 driven by the third cylinder 151 to move perpendicularly to the frame conveyor line 1.

[0034] Two conveyor belts for conveying frames are arranged on each frame conveyor line 1, and the two conveyor lines are arranged in parallel and at intervals.

[0035] The transporting and clamping unit 2 includes a first motor 21, a first support plate 22 driven by the first motor 21 to move parallel to the conveying direction of the frame conveyor line 1, a second motor 23 fixed on the first support plate 22, a column 24 driven by the second motor 23 to move up and down, a second support plate 25 fixed at the bottom of the column 24, a flip bracket 26 rotatably arranged on the second support plate 25, a third motor 27 fixed on the second support plate 25 and driving the flip bracket 26 to flip around a horizontal axis, and a plurality of clamping modules 28 installed on the flip bracket 26.

[0036] The first motor 21 is fixed on the first support plate 22 and realizes horizontal driving of the first support plate 22 through the cooperation of gears and racks.

[0037] The second motor 23 also drives the column 24 up and down through gear rack transmission.

[0038] There are four groups of clamping modules 28, which can clamp four frames at the same time. Each clamping module 28 includes a rotating shaft 281 rotatably arranged on the flip bracket 26 and a pair of clamping components 282 fixedly arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 281. The clamping components 282 include a fourth cylinder 2821 fixed at the end of the rotating shaft 281 and a clamping claw 2822 driven by the fourth cylinder 2821 to open or clamp.

[0039] When the transporting and clamping unit 2 is picking up materials, the third motor 27 drives the flipping bracket 26 to be in an upright state, and the four groups of clamping modules 28 are distributed in an upper and lower interval, corresponding to the four-layer frame conveyor line 1. The four groups of clamping modules 28 clamp four frames at the same time at the end of the frame conveyor line 1, and then the flipping bracket 26 is flipped to a horizontal state, and the four frames distributed in an upper and lower interval are transformed into a horizontally spaced distribution state.

[0040] When clamping the frame, the clamping module 28 clamps the front and rear surfaces of the frame. When the clamping module 28 is flipped 90 degrees along with the flip bracket 26, the frame also rotates 90 degrees. In order to ensure that the frame can be placed in the material receiving tooling of the subsequent frame assembly equipment in the correct posture, the flip bracket 26 is also provided with a rotating drive module 29 for driving the clamping module 28 to rotate and thereby realize a 90-degree flip of the frame.

[0041] The rotation drive module 29 includes a connecting rod 291 connecting the rotating shafts 282 of the four clamping modules 28, and a fifth cylinder 292 installed on the flip bracket 26. The body end of the fifth cylinder 292 is hinged on the flip bracket 26, and the piston rod end is hinged with the rotating shaft 282 in one of the clamping modules 28. The fifth cylinder 292 drives the piston rod to extend or retract, thereby driving the rotating shaft 282 hinged with the piston rod to rotate. Under the transmission of the connecting rod 291, the other four rotating shafts are further driven to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the rotation of the four clamping modules 28 and completing the 90-degree flipping of the frame.

[0042] In the present embodiment, a photovoltaic module aluminum frame efficient feeding and loading device 100 is in operation. The operator places a stack of long frames on the first and fourth frame conveyor lines 1, and places a stack of short frames on the second and third frame conveyor lines 1, respectively. At the input end, the alignment module 15 aligns the positions of the two ends of the frames so that they can smoothly enter the conveying channel of the frame conveyor line 1. In the conveying channel, the limiting side baffle 14 always maintains the end limiting function during the entire conveying process of the frame. When it moves to the first blocking position, the first cylinder 112 drives the first blocking plate 111 to rise to block all frames. Then the second blocking plate 113 blocks the second to last frame. Frame, then, the first blocking plate 111 is withdrawn, and the frontmost frame continues to be conveyed to the end of the frame conveyor line 1, and stops under the blocking action of the third blocking plate 115; when the second sensor 13 senses that a frame has arrived, the four groups of clamping modules 28 in the transporting and clamping unit 2 are distributed in an upper and lower interval, clamp the corresponding four frames, and then move to the loading position, and at the same time, the four groups of clamping modules 28 are flipped to a horizontal interval distribution state along with the flip bracket 26. At the same time, the rotating drive module 29 drives the clamping module 28 to rotate 90 degrees, adjusts the frame to the correct posture, and then places it in the material receiving tooling of the subsequent frame assembly equipment to complete the efficient feeding and loading of the frame.

[0043] For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the utility model, which all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
