[0027] Furthermore, the support arm has a support opening adapted to the support portion of the support beam, and the support opening is configured to abut and support the support beam.

[0045] As described in the background art, photovoltaic panels are currently prone to collision or friction damage during transportation, and after the photovoltaic panels are transported to the installation site, the workload on site is heavy.

[0046] On this basis, the utility model provides a photovoltaic module transport carrier, which supports the photovoltaic module through several layers of support components arranged at intervals, so that there is a certain gap between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules, reducing the problem of mutual friction or collision between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules, thereby reducing the damage of the photovoltaic module during transportation. In addition, the photovoltaic module is a large-scale photovoltaic component after assembly, and the assembly work has been completed in the workshop. After transportation to the site, it is only necessary to install and fix the photovoltaic module on the photovoltaic bracket, thereby reducing the outdoor workload on site and improving the efficiency of on-site installation.

[0050] Fig. 9 It is a schematic structural diagram of a photovoltaic module transport carrier in an embodiment of the utility model, in which the initial state of the support arm is a vertical state; Fig.10 It is a schematic diagram of a discrete structure in which a tooling frame in a photovoltaic module transport carrier according to an embodiment of the utility model is a detachable connection structure.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A photovoltaic module transport vehicle comprises: a tooling frame 10; a plurality of layers of support components 20 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, each layer of the support components 20 is connected to the tooling frame 10 and is configured to support a photovoltaic module 30, the photovoltaic module 30 comprises at least one support beam 301, and a plurality of photovoltaic panels 302 supported and fixed by at least one support beam 301. Figure 2The figure shows four support beams 301, but the number and specific shape of the support beams 301 are not specifically limited here. In addition, the extending direction of the support beams 301 is also not limited. For example, but not limited to, the support beams 301 can be parallel to Figure 2 The long sides of the photovoltaic array extend and / or are parallel to Figure 2 The short sides of the photovoltaic panel array are extended.

[0052] The photovoltaic module is supported by several layers of support components 20 arranged at intervals, so that there is a certain gap between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 30, reducing the friction or collision between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 30, thereby reducing the damage of the photovoltaic module 30 during transportation. In addition, the photovoltaic module 30 is a large photovoltaic component after assembly, and the assembly work has been completed in the workshop. After transportation to the site, it is only necessary to install and fix the photovoltaic module 30 on the photovoltaic bracket, thereby reducing the outdoor workload on the site and improving the efficiency of on-site installation.

[0053] It is understandable that the tooling frame 10 is the main structure that carries the photovoltaic module 30, and it needs to be surrounded by a plurality of frame components to form a cavity with a certain carrying space. In some embodiments, the plurality of frame components can be in the form of welded longitudinal beams and cross beams. In some embodiments, the plurality of frame components can also be in the form of cross-welded diagonal beams, and the cross-beams form a diamond grid.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, each layer of the support assembly 20 includes a plurality of support arms 201 arranged at intervals, and the support surfaces of the plurality of support arms 201 are in the same plane; wherein the support arms 201 are rotatably connected to the tooling frame 10, and the support arms 201 support the photovoltaic modules 30 in a horizontal state. By rotatably connecting the support arms 201 to the tooling frame 10, the support arms 201 can be rotated to avoid the photovoltaic modules 30 during the loading or unloading process, which is conducive to the automated operation of unloading the photovoltaic modules 30.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the support arm 201 is configured to support the support beam 301. Since the photovoltaic panel 302 is relatively fragile, if the support arm 201 directly abuts against and supports the photovoltaic panel 302, it is easy to cause damage to the photovoltaic panel 302, thereby making it impossible for the photovoltaic panel 302 to perform photoelectric conversion normally. Therefore, the support arm 201 directly abuts against and supports the support beam 301 without contacting the photovoltaic panel 302, thereby reducing the damage to the photovoltaic panel 302 during transportation.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 has a support opening 2013 that matches the support portion of the support beam 301, and the support opening 2013 is configured to abut and support the support beam 301, that is, the support opening 2013 and the support portion of the support beam 301 have substantially the same cross-sectional shape to better wrap and accommodate the support portion of the support beam 301. By limiting the support beam 301 through the support opening 2013, the stability of the support for the photovoltaic module 30 during transportation can be effectively improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, a protrusion may be provided on the support arm, and a recess may be provided at a position corresponding to the support beam, so that the support beam can be limited by the cooperation between the protrusion and the recess.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 is configured as a telescopic structure, and the support arm 201 is configured to be able to rotate from a retracted state to the horizontal state, and support the photovoltaic module 30 in an extended state in the horizontal state. By configuring the support arm 201 as a telescopic structure, the rotation radius of the support arm 201 can be shortened during the rotation of the support arm 201 to the horizontal state, thereby reducing the distance between the upper and lower adjacent support assemblies 20, so that the tooling frame 10 can carry as many photovoltaic modules 30 as possible; and support the photovoltaic module 30 in an extended state in the horizontal state, ensuring that the photovoltaic module 30 is provided with more stable support. Furthermore, when the support arm 201 supports the support beam 301 of the photovoltaic module 30, since there is a certain distance between the support beam 301 and the edge of the photovoltaic panel 302, the retractable structure of the support arm 201 can increase the length of the support arm 201 to support the support beam 301 of the photovoltaic module 30, thereby avoiding damage to the photovoltaic panel 302, and at the same time shorten the rotation radius of the support arm 201, thereby improving the carrying capacity of the tooling frame 10.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 is a telescopic structure and includes: a first support portion 2011, which is rotatably connected to the tooling frame 10 and has a storage cavity (not shown); a second support portion 2012, which is slidably connected to the first support portion 2011 and is configured to be slidably retracted in the storage cavity, or slidably extended from the storage cavity, so as to increase or decrease the length of the support arm 201. In some embodiments, the first support portion 2011 is provided with an adapter hole 2018, which cooperates with a rotating shaft (not shown) passing through the adapter hole 2018, so that the first support portion 2011 is rotatably connected to the tooling frame 10.

[0060] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second supporting portion 2012 has a supporting opening 2013 adapted to the supporting portion of the supporting beam 301 , and the supporting opening 2013 is configured to support the supporting beam 301 . Figure 2 FIG. 3 shows that the cross-sectional shape of the support beam 301 is a rectangle. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cross-sectional shape of the support opening 2013 shown in FIG. 1 is a corresponding "U" shape. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cross-sectional shape of the support opening 2013 is shown to be “U”-shaped, but the cross-sectional shape of the support opening 2013 should be consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the support beam 301 , and the cross-sectional shape of the support opening 2013 is not specifically limited herein.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 further includes: a first limit member 2014, which is fixedly connected to the first support portion 2011 or the second support portion 2012, and is configured to prevent the second support portion 2012 from continuing to slide out when the second support portion 2012 slides out from the storage cavity to the first preset position.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first preset position can be a position where the second support portion 2012 can stably support the photovoltaic module 30 after sliding out, for example, the support beam 301 can be supported by the second support portion 2012. At this position, the tail of the second support portion 2012 (i.e., the portion connected to the first limiting member 2014) has an overlapping area of ​​a certain length with the first support portion 2011. This partial overlapping area ensures that when the second support portion 2012 supports the support beam, it can provide force abutment and limitation for the second support portion 2012.

[0063] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first stopper 2014 may be a protrusion fixedly connected to the second support portion 2012 and a notch provided in the first support portion 2011, wherein the protrusion is adapted to the notch and has corresponding positions. When the second support portion 2012 slides out from the receiving cavity to the first preset position, the movement of the protrusion is limited to the notch, and the protrusion will be blocked, so that the second support portion 2012 cannot continue to slide out.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first stopper may be a sliding block fixedly connected to the second support portion and a slide groove provided in the first support portion (or a slide groove provided in the second support portion and a sliding block fixedly connected to the first support portion), the sliding block is limited in the slide groove and can slide back and forth along the slide groove. When the second support portion slides out from the storage cavity to the first preset position, the sliding block just slides to the tail end of the slide groove, at which time the sliding block will be blocked, so that the second support portion cannot continue to slide out.

[0065] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 further includes: a second limit member 2015, which is fixedly connected to the first support portion 2011 or the second support portion 2012, and is configured to prevent the second support portion 2012 from continuing to slide and shrink when the second support portion 2012 slides and shrinks in the storage cavity to a second preset position.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second preset position may correspond to the rotation radius of the support arm 201, for example but not limited to, after the second support portion 2012 slides and retracts, the head portion of the second support portion 2012 (the portion opposite to the tail portion of the second support portion 2012) is completely retracted to a position within the first support portion 2011.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 5In some embodiments, the second limiting member 2015 is a stopper fixedly connected to the end position of the second supporting portion 2012. When the second supporting portion 2012 slides and contracts in the storage cavity to the second preset position, the stopper will be blocked by the first supporting portion 2011, so that the second supporting portion 2012 cannot continue to slide and contract.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second limiting member may also be a stopper fixedly connected to the end position of the first supporting portion.

[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 further includes: a stopper assembly 2016, which is configured to prevent the second support portion 2012 from sliding and retracting when the second support portion 2012 slides out from the storage cavity to the first preset position. The stopper assembly 2016 prevents the second support portion 2012 from retracting during the process of the support arm 201 supporting the photovoltaic module 30, so as to ensure the support stability of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the backstop assembly 2016 includes: a first backstop opening 2016a, which is opened on the second support portion 2012; and a backstop member 2016b, which is configured to enter the first backstop opening 2016a when the second support portion 2012 slides out from the storage cavity to the first preset position.

[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Combined with reference Figure 8In some embodiments, the backstop assembly 2016 further includes: a backstop base 2016c, fixedly connected to the first support portion 2011, and the backstop member 2016b is rotatably connected to the backstop base 2016c; a second backstop opening 2016d, opened on the first support portion 2011, the backstop member 2016b extends through the second backstop opening 2016d, and abuts against the second support portion 2012 when the second support portion 2012 is in a retracted state; an elastic member 2016e, including a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end being fixedly connected to the backstop base 2016c or the first support portion 2011, and the second end being fixedly connected to the backstop member 2016b, and being configured to elastically act on the backstop member 2016b, so that the backstop member 2016b rotates into the first backstop opening 2016a when the second support portion 2012 extends to the first preset position. The elastic member 2016e can realize automatic matching between the retaining member 2016b and the first retaining opening 2016a.

[0072] It should be noted that, when the retaining member 2016b rotates into the first retaining opening 2016a, the first retaining opening 2016a and the second retaining opening 2016d overlap.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first support part can be slidably mounted on the second support part to realize a retractable structure composed of the first support part and the second support part. Correspondingly, the backstop assembly can also adopt an elastic protrusion arranged on the first support part. Along the direction in which the second support part slides out, the elastic protrusion has a chamfered angle, and along the direction in which the second support part slides and contracts, the elastic protrusion has a blocking plane. The backstop assembly can be compared to the backstop structure of common umbrellas on the market, so as to achieve the effect of blocking the second support part. When the second support part does not perform a supporting action and needs to be retracted, the elastic protrusion can be manually pressed to release the blocking of the elastic protrusion on the second support part, thereby ensuring that the second support part can slide and contract smoothly.

[0074] In some embodiments, the support arm is configured as a foldable structure, and the support arm is configured to be able to rotate from a folded state to the horizontal state, and support the photovoltaic module in an unfolded state in the horizontal state. By configuring the support arm as a foldable structure, the rotation radius of the support arm can be shortened during the rotation of the support arm, thereby reducing the spacing between the support assemblies on the upper and lower adjacent sides, so that the tooling frame can carry as many photovoltaic modules as possible; when the support arm supports the photovoltaic module, the length of the support arm can be increased to ensure more stable support for the photovoltaic module.

[0075] In some embodiments, the support arm is a foldable structure and includes: a first support portion and a second support portion that are rotatably connected, the first support portion having a cavity for receiving the second support portion. When the second support portion is not needed for support, the second support portion will be rotated and folded into the cavity; when the second support portion is needed for support, the second support portion will be rotated and unfolded from the cavity. This structure can be compared to the structure of foldable knives commonly found on the market.

[0076] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the support arm 201 is also configured to be based on the rotation point of the support arm 201 and the tooling frame 10, and the center of gravity of the support arm 201 is located above or below the rotation point in the vertical direction, so that the support arm 201 can rotate to a horizontal state or a vertical state under the action of gravity. Correspondingly, the support arm 201 also needs to be configured with: a third limiter 2017, which is configured to prevent the support arm 201 from continuing to rotate in the same direction when the support arm 201 rotates to support the photovoltaic module 30 in the horizontal state. In combination with gravity, the support arm 201 is set to rotate to a horizontal state or a vertical state to avoid the photovoltaic module 30 during the process of loading or removing parts, which is conducive to the realization of the automated operation of removing the photovoltaic module 30, and the structure is simple and practical, and the cost is low.

[0077] Please refer to Fig. 9In some embodiments, the initial state of the support arm 201 is a vertical state, that is, the center of gravity of the support arm 201 is located below the rotation point in the vertical direction. During the installation of the photovoltaic module 30, since each support arm 201 can rotate to a vertical state under the action of gravity, at this time, no matter whether the installation is carried out from the upper opening or the lower opening of the tooling frame 10, the support arms 201 of each layer will not constitute an obstacle to the photovoltaic module 30. When the photovoltaic module 30 is moved to the position of the support arm 201 of a certain layer, the corresponding support arms 201 of the layer are rotated to a horizontal state by manual operation to support the photovoltaic module 30, and this reciprocating cycle is performed until the support arms 201 of each layer support the photovoltaic module 30. It should be noted that no matter whether the installation of the photovoltaic module 30 is from the upper opening or the lower opening of the tooling frame 10, it needs to be carried out in sequence. If the photovoltaic module 30 is installed from the upper opening of the tooling frame 10, the photovoltaic module 30 needs to be supported on the lowest support arm 201 first; if the photovoltaic module 30 is installed from the lower opening of the tooling frame 10, the photovoltaic module 30 needs to be supported on the topmost support arm 201 first.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Fig. 9 In some embodiments, when the support arm 201 is rotated to a vertical state, the first support portion 2011 has a space for accommodating at least a portion of the support arm 201 adjacent to the support arm 201 in the vertical direction (for example, but not limited to the second support portion 2012). The spacing between the upper and lower adjacent support assemblies 20 can be further reduced, so that the tooling frame 10 can carry as many photovoltaic modules 30 as possible.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the initial state of the support arm is horizontal, that is, the center of gravity of the support arm is located below the rotation point in the vertical direction. During the installation of the photovoltaic module, since each support arm can rotate to a horizontal state under the action of gravity, the installation can only be carried out from the lower opening of the tooling frame, and the support arms of each layer will block the photovoltaic module. However, when the photovoltaic module is lifted, the support arms of each layer can be temporarily pushed away to avoid it. After the photovoltaic module is lifted and passes through a certain layer of the support arms, the support arms will rotate to a horizontal state again under the action of gravity. In this process, in order to reduce the damage caused by the lifting of the support arms of each layer of the photovoltaic module, each support arm is made into a chamfer along the direction of the lifting of the photovoltaic module installation. It should be noted that the photovoltaic modules need to be installed from the lower opening of the tooling frame in sequence, that is, the photovoltaic module installed first needs to be supported on the support arm of the top layer.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 30 transport vehicle further includes: at least one guide member 40, which is fixedly connected to the tooling frame 10 and is configured to guide the material taking component to the inside of the tooling frame 10 when the material taking component grabs the photovoltaic module 30. After the photovoltaic module 30 is transported to the installation site, the material taking component at the installation site can be quickly guided to the accurate grabbing position through the guide member 40, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0081] It should be noted that, if the material picking assembly picks up items from the upper opening of the tooling frame 10, the guiding direction of the guide member 40 is from the photovoltaic module 30 stacked at the top toward the photovoltaic module 30 stacked at the bottom; if the material picking assembly picks up items from the lower opening of the tooling frame 10, the guiding direction of the guide member 40 is from the photovoltaic module 30 stacked at the bottom toward the photovoltaic module 30 stacked at the top.

[0082] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment, the number of the guide members 40 can be set to 4, which are respectively assembled at the four corner positions of the tooling frame 10.

[0083] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the guide member 40 includes: two guide rails 401 arranged at the top corners of the tooling frame 10 and arranged in parallel, the rail surfaces of the two guide rails 401 are perpendicular to each other, and a part of the material picking assembly can move on the rail surface; wherein each guide rail 401 includes a guide head 4011 at the top, the guide head 4011 is higher than the tooling frame 10, and the guide head 4011 extends toward the outside of the tooling frame 10. The function of the guide head 4011 is to increase the guide angle so that the material picking assembly can be quickly guided to the accurate grasping position.

[0084] In some embodiments, the guide member may also include: a guide groove, in which a portion of the material picking assembly can move; wherein the guide groove includes a guide head at the top, the guide head is higher than the tooling frame, and the guide head extends toward the outside of the tooling frame.

[0085] Please refer to Fig.10In some embodiments, the tooling frame 10 includes at least two frame parts 101, and at least two of the frame parts 101 are detachably connected. Since the overall size of the tooling frame 10 is relatively large, it exceeds the size of conventional items allowed to be transported by road. By configuring the tooling frame 10 as at least two detachably connected frame parts 101 whose volumes do not exceed the size of conventional items allowed to be transported by road, when each of the frame parts 101 is transported to the production plant of the photovoltaic module 30, they are assembled to form the tooling frame 10, so as to realize the deployment of the tooling frame 10.

Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
