[0045] Embodiment 2, the working principle of the flexible junction box automatic installation device adopting the structural form of embodiment 1.
[0046] 1. The photovoltaic module is transported to the designated position of the assembly line and stopped. The blocking cylinder located on the long side of the photovoltaic module rotates and tightens. At the same time, the positioning cylinder located on the short side of the module moves to the middle and clamps the photovoltaic module. There are three groups of bus bars in the middle of the long side of the photovoltaic module. The visual camera (bus bar camera 23) on the square of the bus bar takes pictures of these three groups of bus bars for detection and identification, and transmits the position coordinates to their respective robots.
[0047] 2. Installation of intermediate junction box:
[0048] The intermediate junction box is poured into the vibration disk silo 31. After the vibration of the straight vibrator, the junction box in the silo 31 slides into the flexible vibration disk 32. The flexible vibration disk 32 adjusts the sliding intermediate junction box to face up through vibration. The visual camera (vibration disk plane camera 35) above the flexible vibration disk 32 takes pictures for detection and identification, and transmits the position coordinates of the intermediate junction box to be grasped to the corresponding 6-axis robot (intermediate junction box installation robot 33). The 6-axis end of the intermediate junction box installation robot 33 is connected to a specific tooling, and the clamping cylinder on the tooling moves, and the clamping claw clamps the intermediate junction box. The robot moves the intermediate junction box to the top of the intermediate bus bar. After the bus bar passes through the installation hole of the intermediate junction box and coincides with the plane coordinates of the bus bar, the robot controls the tooling to make regular, small-range circular motion along the center of the two bus bars, and vertically descends until the bus bar passes through the intermediate junction box and the bottom of the intermediate junction box contacts the photovoltaic module, and the tooling stops descending. The clamping claw cylinder relaxes, the clamping claw is separated from the intermediate junction box, and the installation of the intermediate junction box is completed.
[0049] 3. Positive terminal box installation:
[0050] After the positive terminal box preparation box 12 is placed in the designated position, the 3D camera 11 above it immediately scans and identifies the positive terminal box on the upper surface of the preparation box 12, and inputs the position coordinates of the top positive terminal box into the positive and negative terminal box disordered grasping robot 14 through calculation. The front-end tooling grasps the positive terminal box and throws it onto the receiving plate 162 on the transmission belt 166 on the front right side. The brush 163 behind the receiving plate 162 sweeps the positive terminal box onto the transmission belt 166 below under the action of the cylinder 165. At this time, the positive and negative terminal box disordered grasping robot 14 repeats the previous action to perform the positive terminal box storage work. At this time, the first echelon plane camera 18 directly above the positive terminal box that has just entered the conveyor belt 166 takes a photo of the positive terminal box for identification. If the positive terminal box is facing up at this time, the conveyor belt 166 will convey the positive terminal box forward without stopping. If the positive terminal box is facing down at this time, the first echelon plane camera 18 will input its position coordinates into the flip robot 167 between the two conveyor belts. After the flip robot 167 receives the position of the positive terminal box, it moves the flip tool 168 to the top of it, presses down, clamps, rotates 6 axes 180 degrees, releases the flip tool clamp 1683, and the positive terminal box falls into the conveyor belt 166 again with the front facing up and is conveyed forward. When the positive terminal box is detected by the photoelectric detection at the end of the transmission belt 166, the transmission belt 166 stops moving, and the second-echelon plane camera 17 above it takes a photo to identify it, and inputs the position coordinates into the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15. The slide 1511 on the right grabbing station of the installation tooling connected to the 6-axis end of the 6-axis robot descends, and the slide 1511 on the left grabbing station 152 of the tooling remains in a retracted state. The lifting cylinder on the tooling is actuated to raise the terminal box clamp and move it to just above the positive terminal box, and then it descends vertically. When the upper end face of the rubber-coated clamp is flush with the upper end face of the positive terminal box, the main clamp actuating cylinder 1517 is tightened, and the terminal box main clamp 1514 clamps the positive terminal box and lifts it. The positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 moves the tooling to the top of the middle busbar. After the busbar through-hole on the positive terminal box coincides with the busbar plane coordinates, the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 controls the tooling to make regular, small-range circular motions along the centers of the two busbars and descend vertically until the busbar passes through the positive terminal box and the bottom of the positive terminal box contacts the photovoltaic module, and the tooling stops descending. The main clamp action cylinder 1517 relaxes, and the terminal box main clamp 1514 detaches from the positive terminal box. The lifting cylinder contracts, and the tooling descends. After the busbar smoothing paddle 1515 in the middle of the clamp is inserted into the middle of the busbar, the busbar smoothing paddle 1515 is connected to the smoothing paddle cylinder 1516 to act and smooth the busbar to both sides. The lifting cylinder moves the clamp upwards, and at the same time, the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 moves the tooling upwards as a whole to leave the busbar position, and the installation camera (busbar camera 23) is used for smoothing and inspection, and the installation of the positive terminal box is completed.
[0051] 4. Negative terminal box installation:
[0052] After the negative terminal box preparation box 12 is placed in the designated position, the 3D camera 11 above it immediately scans and identifies the negative terminal box on the upper surface of the preparation box 12, and inputs the position coordinates of the top negative terminal box into the positive and negative terminal box disorderly grasping robot 14 through calculation. The front-end tooling grasps the negative terminal box and throws it onto the receiving plate 162 on the transmission belt 166 on the front right side. The brush 163 behind the receiving plate 162 sweeps the negative terminal box onto the transmission belt 166 below under the action of the cylinder 165. At this time, the positive and negative terminal box disorderly grasping robot 14 repeats the previous action to prepare the negative terminal box. At this time, the first echelon plane camera 18 just above the negative terminal box that has just entered the conveyor belt 166 takes a photo of the negative terminal box for identification. If the negative terminal box is facing up at this time, the conveyor belt 166 will convey the negative terminal box forward without stopping. If the negative terminal box is facing down at this time, the first echelon plane camera 18 will input its position coordinates into the flip robot 167 between the two conveyor belts. After the flip robot 167 receives the position of the negative terminal box, it moves the flip tool 168 to the top of it, presses down, clamps, rotates 6 axes 180 degrees, releases the flip tool clamp 1683, and the negative terminal box falls into the conveyor belt 166 again with the front facing up and is conveyed forward. When the negative terminal box is detected by the photoelectric detection at the end of the transmission belt 166, the transmission belt 166 stops moving, and the second-echelon plane camera 17 above it takes a photo to identify it, and inputs the position coordinates into the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15. The slide 1511 on the right grabbing station of the installation tooling connected to the 6-axis end of the 6-axis robot descends, and the slide 1511 on the left grabbing station 152 of the tooling remains in a retracted state. The lifting cylinder on the tooling is actuated to raise the terminal box clamp and move it to just above the negative terminal box, and then it descends vertically. When the upper end face of the clamping jaw is flush with the upper end face of the negative terminal box, the main clamping jaw actuating cylinder 1517 is tightened, and the terminal box main clamping jaw 1514 clamps the negative terminal box and lifts it. The positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 moves the tooling to the top of the middle busbar. After the busbar through-hole on the negative terminal box coincides with the busbar plane coordinates, the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 controls the tooling to make regular, small-range circular motions along the centers of the two busbars and descend vertically until the busbar passes through the negative terminal box and the bottom of the negative terminal box contacts the photovoltaic module, and the tooling stops descending. The main clamp action cylinder 1517 relaxes, and the terminal box main clamp 1514 detaches from the negative terminal box. The lifting cylinder contracts, and the tooling descends. After the busbar smoothing paddle 1515 in the middle of the clamp is inserted into the middle of the busbar, the busbar smoothing paddle 1515 is connected to the smoothing paddle cylinder 1516 to act and smooth the busbar to both sides. The lifting cylinder moves the clamp upwards, and at the same time, the positive and negative terminal box installation robot 15 moves the tooling upwards as a whole to leave the busbar position, and the installation camera (busbar camera 23) is used for smoothing and inspection, and the negative terminal box is installed.
