Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic automation installation, in particular to an inclined beam clamping device and a photovoltaic bracket installation robot. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the photovoltaic power generation system, the development history and technological changes of the photovoltaic bracket's inclined beam installation technology are closely related to the overall development of the photovoltaic power generation industry. In the early stage, the installation of the photovoltaic bracket's inclined beam mainly relied on manual operation. Due to the lack of technical level and safety measures, the installation process was inefficient and there were great safety hazards. With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous maturity of photovoltaic power generation technology, the photovoltaic bracket's inclined beam installation technology is also gradually improving. However, in the existing technology, the installation of photovoltaic brackets' inclined beams still faces many challenges. Among them, manual climbing is a major problem in the installation process. Since photovoltaic brackets are usually installed at higher positions, such as roofs or ground brackets, installers need to climb to a certain height to work, which not only increases the difficulty of installation, but also increases safety risks. During the operation, workers may face dangers such as falling and slipping, especially in severe weather conditions, where safety hazards are more prominent. In addition, manual installation also faces efficiency issues. Since the installation of the inclined beam requires precise calculation and meticulous operation of the installation angle of the inclined beam, manual installation often takes a long time and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of installation quality. This not only affects the overall performance of the photovoltaic power generation system, but also increases the difficulty and cost of later maintenance. Therefore, how to improve the installation technology of the inclined beams of photovoltaic brackets, improve installation efficiency, and reduce safety risks has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current photovoltaic power generation industry.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an inclined beam clamping device that can be installed on a photovoltaic bracket installation robot and is used to clamp the photovoltaic bracket. The inclined beam clamping device includes a support 100, a flip assembly 200, and a clamping assembly 300.

[0036] The support 100 is arranged on the lifting component of the photovoltaic bracket installation robot; the flipping component 200 is arranged on the support 100, and the flipping component 200 includes a flipping beam 210 and a first telescopic cylinder 220, the flipping beam 210 is hinged to the support 100, the first telescopic cylinder 220 is hinged to the support 100, and the telescopic rod of the first telescopic cylinder 220 is hinged to the flipping beam 210; the clamping component 300 is arranged on the flipping beam 210, and is used to clamp the inclined beam of the photovoltaic bracket.

[0037] The inclined beam clamping device provided in this embodiment shows excellent performance and convenience in practical applications. First, when the photovoltaic bracket needs to be installed, the photovoltaic bracket installation robot will accurately move to the vicinity of the inclined beam of the photovoltaic bracket to be installed. Once it reaches the vicinity of the inclined beam, the robot will start the clamping assembly 300, which can firmly clamp the inclined beam of the photovoltaic bracket. After the robot completes the clamping of the inclined beam, it will transport the inclined beam to the specified position, and then further use the telescopic function of the first telescopic cylinder 220 to control the flipping beam 210 to flip, and then adjust the tilt of the inclined beam. After the inclined beam flips to the specified angle, the lifting assembly begins to play a role, lifts the inclined beam to the specified installation position, and installs the inclined beam. The entire installation process, from the movement, clamping, flipping to lifting of the robot, is autonomously calculated and executed by the robot. This not only greatly improves the installation efficiency and reduces the complexity and difficulty of manual operation, but also improves the installation accuracy and reduces the safety risk. Therefore, the inclined beam clamping device provided in this embodiment has a wide range of application prospects and important practical value in the field of photovoltaic bracket installation.

[0038] In some embodiments, two clamping assemblies 300 are provided, which are arranged at both ends of the flip beam 210, and the middle part of the flip beam 210 is hinged to the support 100; by respectively arranging the two clamping assemblies 300 at both ends of the flip beam 210, it can be ensured that during the clamping process, regardless of the size and shape of the inclined beam, a uniform and firm clamping force can be obtained. The middle part of the flip beam 210 is connected to the support 100 by a hinged connection. Such a structure not only allows the flip beam 210 to rotate when necessary to adjust the clamping angle, but also increases the stability and durability of the device; of course, in other embodiments of the utility model, the clamping assemblies can also be set to other numbers or arranged in other forms.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first telescopic cylinder 220 controls the flipping beam 210 to flip at an angle ranging from 0° to 40°, preferably 15°; specifically, the first telescopic cylinder 220 can control the flipping beam 210 to flip within a range of 0° to 40°, which means that the flipping beam 210 can adjust its tilt angle according to actual needs, thereby adapting to photovoltaic support inclined beams of different shapes and sizes. Within this angle range, we particularly recommend 15° as the preferred angle, because the inclined beam installed at this angle shows good support stability and use effect in actual applications.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the angle between the flip beam 210 and the horizontal plane after flipping can also be 2°, 5°, 8°, 10°, 13°, 16°, 19°, 22°, 25°, 28°, 34°, 37°, 39°, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0041] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 300 includes a clamping seat 310, a movable plate 320, and a second telescopic cylinder 330. The second telescopic cylinder 330 is installed on the clamping seat 310. The telescopic rod of the second telescopic cylinder 330 is connected to the movable plate 320. A fixed plate 311 corresponding to the movable plate 320 is provided on the clamping seat 310. The telescopic extension of the second telescopic cylinder 330 can drive the movable plate 320 to move toward or away from the fixed plate 311. During the use of the clamping assembly 300, the photovoltaic bracket installation robot is first used to drive the clamping assembly 300 and the inclined beam to be installed to move relative to each other, and finally the inclined beam is located between the fixed plate 311 and the movable plate 320. At this time, the telescopic rod on the second telescopic cylinder 330 is extended to push the movable plate 320 to move toward the fixed plate 311, and the inclined beam is clamped together with the fixed plate 311, and then the inclined beam is transported and other activities are performed. In this process, no manual operation is required, which is safe and efficient, and convenient for improving the installation efficiency of the inclined beam.

[0042] In some embodiments, a guide groove corresponding to the movable plate 320 is provided on the clamping seat 310, and the end of the movable plate 320 close to the clamping seat 310 is arranged in the guide groove, so that the movable plate 320 can move along the guide groove under the drive of the second telescopic cylinder 330, so that the moving trajectory of the movable plate 320 is more stable and reliable, ensuring the clamping stability of the movable plate 320 and the fixed plate 311 on the inclined beam.

[0043] In some embodiments, anti-slip pads 312 are provided on the opposite end surfaces of the fixed plate 311 and the movable plate 320 to increase the friction between the fixed plate 311 and the movable plate 320 and the inclined beam during the clamping process to prevent the inclined beam from sliding off.

[0044] In some embodiments, the anti-skid pad 312 is made of polyurethane, which has excellent wear resistance and anti-skid properties, ensuring that the clamping process is more stable and reliable.

[0045] In some embodiments, a positioning probe 340 is provided on the end surface of the fixed plate 311 away from the movable plate 320 to accurately detect the position and posture of the inclined beam to ensure that the subsequent clamping and installation process can proceed smoothly.

[0046] In some embodiments, the positioning probe 340 is a laser probe, which is widely used in the field of industrial automation due to its high precision, high speed, high anti-interference and other characteristics. Here, the laser probe can emit a laser beam and receive the reflected laser signal to accurately detect the position and posture of the inclined beam.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the inclined beam clamping device also includes a telescopic component 400, and the telescopic component 400 includes a fixed tube 410, a movable rod 420, and a third telescopic cylinder 430. The fixed tube 410 is fixedly mounted on the flip beam 210, and the movable rod 420 is inserted into the fixed tube 410. The end of the movable rod 420 away from the flip beam 210 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 310, and the third telescopic cylinder 430 is arranged on the fixed tube 410, and the telescopic rod of the third telescopic cylinder 430 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 310; by setting the telescopic component 400, the third telescopic cylinder 430 can be used to control the movable rod 420 to perform telescopic movement relative to the fixed tube 410, thereby adjusting the relative position between the clamping seat 310 and the flip beam 210; this design facilitates fine-tuning of the horizontal position of the inclined beam when clamping the inclined beam, thereby further improving the installation accuracy of the inclined beam using this embodiment.

[0048] In some embodiments, a limiting rib 422 is provided on the end face of the clamping seat 310 close to the movable rod 420, and a plurality of the limiting ribs 422 are provided on the circumferential side of the movable rod 420. By providing the limiting ribs 422, on the one hand, the connection strength between the movable rod 420 and the clamping seat 310 can be improved, and on the other hand, a spacer can be provided between the clamping seat 310 and the fixed tube 410 to avoid collision between the clamping seat 310 and the fixed tube 410 due to proximity, thereby improving the safety of use of this embodiment.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fixing tube 410 is vertically arranged with respect to the clamping seat 310 , which can effectively ensure the stability and accuracy of the relative position between the clamping seat 310 and the flip beam 210 , and facilitate the control of the photovoltaic support installation robot.

[0050] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, a first guide wheel 421 is provided at the end of the movable rod 420 close to the flip beam 210, and the first guide wheel 421 can be pressed against the inner upper wall of the fixed tube 410 under the action of gravity of the clamping assembly 300; a second guide wheel 411 is provided on the lower side wall of the fixed tube 410, and the second guide wheel 411 can provide support for the movable rod 420. By arranging the first guide wheel 421 and the second guide wheel 411, when the movable rod 420 performs telescopic movement relative to the fixed tube 410, friction between the movable rod 420 and the fixed tube 410 is avoided, thereby reducing the loss of the movable rod 420 and the fixed tube 410 and extending the service life of this embodiment.
