DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0046] It should be understood that the references to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification mean that the specific features, structures, or characteristics associated with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the references to "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the utility model provides a photovoltaic module splicing device, the photovoltaic module splicing device comprising:

[0048] Equipment brackets;

[0049] A photovoltaic module splicing platform 10, the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 is connected to the equipment support, and the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 has a bearing portion for bearing and placing a supporting purlin 20 and a plurality of single modules;

[0050] The purlin destacking assembly 11 is arranged at the module splicing station, and is used to place a plurality of stacked supporting purlins 20 one by one on the bearing portion.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the photovoltaic module splicing device of the embodiment of the utility model is a device that can be used in a production workshop or an outdoor construction site to splice photovoltaic components and single modules formed by buckles on a supporting purlin 20 into an array module.

[0052] The photovoltaic module splicing device may specifically include an equipment bracket (not shown in the figure), a photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 and a purlin destacking assembly 11. The equipment bracket may be an equipment support formed by fixing a metal profile by welding or bolting, and is used to integrate and fix the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10, the purlin destacking assembly 11 and other component modules. For the sake of lightness, its structural shape may be a frame structure.

[0053] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the diagram, the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 includes a bearing portion that can simultaneously bear and place the supporting purlins 20 and a plurality of single modules. In practical applications, the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 can be a frame structure formed by fixedly connecting metal profiles, a portion of the support beams of the frame structure constitutes a first bearing portion for bearing and placing the supporting purlins 20, and another portion of the support beams constitutes a second bearing portion for bearing and placing the single module, and the first bearing portion can be slightly lower than the second bearing portion, thereby ensuring that the supporting purlins 20 are located below the back of the single module. In addition, the photovoltaic module splicing device also includes a purlin destacking assembly 11, and a module splicing station is formed on the equipment bracket. The purlin destacking assembly 11 is located at the module splicing station, and the purlin destacking assembly 11 can place a plurality of supporting purlins 20 stacked together one by one on the first bearing portion to facilitate assembly with the single module.

[0054] Therefore, the photovoltaic module splicing device of the embodiment of the utility model can automatically disassemble the supporting purlins 20 instead of manpower, and automatically place them on the bearing part for assembly with the single module, which can improve the efficiency of assembling the single module into the array module.

[0055] Optionally, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 includes a plurality of lifting mechanisms 101, and the plurality of lifting mechanisms 101 are arranged in an array;

[0056] Each of the lifting mechanisms 101 is connected to the equipment support and moves synchronously relative to the equipment support. The tops of the plurality of lifting mechanisms 101 are used to carry the supporting purlins 20 .

[0057] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the module splicing platform 10 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a plurality of lifting mechanisms 101 arranged in an array. Each lifting mechanism 101 is connected to an equipment bracket and moves synchronously relative to the equipment bracket, and the top of the plurality of lifting mechanisms 101 carries the supporting purlins 20. When assembling the supporting purlins 20 and the single modules, the purlin destacking assembly 11 pre-places the required number of supporting purlins 20 on the top of the lifting mechanism 101. Next, the single modules are placed one by one on the top of the lifting mechanism 101 and above the supporting purlins 20. At this time, the upper surface of the single module can be applied with downward force by other devices. At the same time, each lifting mechanism 101 is synchronously lifted upward to connect the buckle 30 with the supporting purlin 20. The required array module can be obtained by installing each single module in this way. The module splicing platform 10 of the embodiment of the utility model can connect the buckle 30 on the back of the single module with the supporting purlin 20 by the lifting movement of the lifting mechanism 101. Compared with manual assembly, it is more efficient, and the lifting mechanism 101 is highly controllable and has higher consistency everywhere.

[0058] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 , the lifting mechanism 101 comprises:

[0059] Lifting drive member 1011;

[0060] The purlin limiting fixture 1012 is provided with a purlin accommodating groove, and the purlin limiting fixture 1012 is fixed to the output end of the lifting drive member 1011. The lifting drive member 1011 drives the purlin limiting fixture 1012 to move up and down relative to the equipment support.

[0061] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism 101 in the embodiment of the utility model may include a lifting drive 1011 such as an oil cylinder, an air cylinder or an electric cylinder that can output linear motion, and the lifting direction of the lifting drive 1011 is the Z direction shown in the figure. The lifting drive 1011 serves as the power of the lifting mechanism 101, and its output end is connected to a purlin limiting fixture 1012, and the purlin limiting fixture 1012 is provided with a concave purlin receiving groove, the opening of the purlin receiving groove faces upward, and the bottom is fixed to the lifting drive 1011. When the lifting drive 1011 rises with the purlin limiting fixture 1012, the supporting purlin 20 can be embedded in the purlin receiving groove and limited by the side walls on both sides of the purlin receiving groove, which can prevent the supporting purlin 20 from shaking and falling. Figure 5 It also shows a schematic diagram of the support purlin 20 connected with the buckle 30. The lifting mechanism 101 of the embodiment of the utility model can drive the support purlin to rise stably and reliably, and then accurately combine and assemble with the single module into an array module.

[0062] Optionally, refer to Figure 6, along the top to the bottom of the lifting mechanism 101, the opening of the purlin receiving groove gradually narrows to form a chamfered structure.

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the opening of the purlin receiving groove is gradually narrowed from the top to the bottom of the lifting mechanism 101, that is, from top to bottom along the Z direction shown in the figure, to form a chamfered structure. Therefore, the wider opening can provide a larger tolerance for the smooth embedding of the supporting purlin 20, and the narrower opening can ensure that the supporting purlin 20 is firmly embedded in the purlin receiving groove.

[0064] Optionally, there are at least four lifting mechanisms 101 , and the at least four lifting mechanisms 101 are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0065] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 may include at least four lifting mechanisms 101, and the four lifting mechanisms 101 are respectively distributed at the four corners of the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10, and every two lifting mechanisms 101 are used to hold up a supporting purlin 20, that is, multiple single modules can be simultaneously connected to two supporting purlins 20 parallel to each other to form a 1*N array module, where N is an integer not less than 2. When the length and width dimensions of the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 are large enough, it can also include more lifting mechanisms 101. For example, when there are 8 lifting mechanisms 101, they can be distributed in a 2*4 array to ensure the straightness of the supporting purlin 20 and ensure that the supporting purlin 20 and the buckle 30 can be accurately connected.

[0066] In addition, in order to assemble an M*N array module, there can be 16 lifting mechanisms 101, and the 16 lifting mechanisms 101 can be distributed in a 4*4 array, which can be used to support and place 4 support purlins 20, and every two support purlins 20 correspond to a column of single modules, so that a 2*4 array module can be assembled. The embodiment of the utility model can also increase or decrease the number of lifting mechanisms 101 and adaptively adjust the length and width of the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 according to the size of the array module to be assembled, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The purlin destacking assembly 11 includes two destacking mechanisms 111 that are arranged opposite to each other. The two destacking mechanisms 111 are respectively located at two ends of the supporting purlin 20 .

[0068] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown, at each end of the supporting purlin 20, a destacking mechanism 111 is provided, and the two destacking mechanisms 111 at both ends of the purlin destacking assembly 11 can simulate the operation of two workers lifting the supporting purlin 20, taking out a single supporting purlin 20 from the stacked supporting purlins 20, and then placing it on the top of the lifting mechanism 101. The two oppositely arranged destacking mechanisms 111 can replace manual handling to place the supporting purlin 20, thereby reducing manual labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0069] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 , each of the destacking mechanisms 111 comprises:

[0070] Purlin picking and placing tooling 1111;

[0071] The driving component 1112 , the output end of which is connected to the purlin picking and placing tooling 1111 , and the driving component 1112 drives the purlin picking and placing tooling 1111 to pick and place the supporting purlin 20 .

[0072] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, each of the destacking mechanisms 111 includes a purlin pick-up and placement tool 1111 and a drive assembly 1112. The output end of the drive assembly 1112 is connected to the purlin pick-up and placement tool 1111. When the drive assembly 1112 moves, it drives the purlin pick-up and placement tool 1111 to move to the position where the supporting purlin 20 needs to be removed, removes the corresponding supporting purlin 20, lifts it to the top of the lifting mechanism 101 and puts it down. The drive assembly 1112 can be a motion mechanism with multiple degrees of freedom, such as a multi-axis robotic arm.

[0073] In the destacking mechanism 111 of the utility model, the driving assembly 1112 is used to drive the purlin taking and placing tool 1111 to move between different positions, so that the repeated action of carrying and supporting the purlin 20 can be automatically and accurately completed.

[0074] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 , the driving component 1112 is a three-axis driving module, and the three-axis driving module has three linear degrees of freedom in mutually perpendicular directions;

[0075] The three-axis driving module is connected to the equipment bracket, and the output end of the three-axis driving module is connected to the purlin picking and placing tool 1111, and the three-axis driving module drives the purlin picking and placing tool 1111 to move.

[0076] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, the driving assembly 1112 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a three-axis driving module, which may include a first driving module 1112a, a second driving module 1112b and a third driving module 1112c. The first driving module 1112a has a Figure 7The second driving module 1112b has a linear freedom in the Y direction as shown. Figure 7 The third driving module 1112c has a linear freedom in the X direction. Figure 7 The linear freedom in the Z direction is shown. The three-axis drive module of the embodiment of the utility model can move freely and flexibly to the position where the supporting purlin 20 needs to be taken and placed.

[0077] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 , the module splicing station is provided with two purlin supply bins 102 side by side;

[0078] A set of the purlin destacking assembly 11 is arranged in each of the purlin feeding bins 102, and four of the destacking mechanisms 111 are arranged in a rectangular shape at the module splicing station;

[0079] The photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 is located in the area corresponding to the rectangular shape.

[0080] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, two purlin feed bins 102 are also provided at the module splicing station. The two purlin feed bins 102 are distributed on both sides of the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10 along the X direction shown in the figure, and a set of purlin destacking components 11 is provided in each purlin feed bin 102. A total of four destacking mechanisms 111 are arranged at the four outer corners of the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10, enclosing the photovoltaic module splicing platform 10. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the destacking mechanism 111 is in motion, the supporting purlin 20 can be quickly removed from the purlin supply bin 102 and transported to the top of the lifting mechanism 101. In addition, the embodiment of the utility model also adopts a method of supplying the supporting purlin 20 on both sides, and the working efficiency is also higher.

When the supporting purlins 20 in the purlin supply bin 102 are consumed, new supporting purlins 20 can be added therein more quickly, which also helps to improve the supply efficiency of the supporting purlins 20.
