Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel production equipment, in particular to a device for automatically placing rubber strips by a mechanical arm. Background Art
[0002] A solar photovoltaic panel, also known as a solar panel, is a device that can convert solar energy into electrical energy. It consists of multiple photovoltaic cells, which are usually thin sheets made of semiconductor materials such as silicon. When a photovoltaic panel is exposed to sunlight, it generates direct current. The principle of photovoltaic panels is based on the photovoltaic effect, that is, when sunlight shines on a photovoltaic panel, photons are absorbed and converted into electrons, which flow through a circuit to form an electric current, thereby generating electricity.
[0003] Photovoltaic panels are made of crystalline silicon cells, tempered glass and packaging materials stacked in different orders, and then laminated to form a laminate. During the lamination process, the temperature is raised to melt the EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) film on the upper and lower layers of the busbar, so that one end of the busbar can be positioned in the laminate. Since the EVA material will have bubbles around the components after the components are laminated (EVA is missing), which affects the quality of the components, it is necessary to place EVA strips to improve these problems. These tasks were often done manually in the past, which was costly and inefficient. The existing placement of high-temperature cloth and lead smoothing have the following disadvantages:
[0004] Limited flexibility: Traditional machines are usually designed with fixed functions, which makes it difficult to flexibly cope with positioning frames of different sizes and shapes, and have poor adaptability.
[0005] Low production efficiency: Due to the relatively simple operation method, traditional machines may not be able to meet high-efficiency production requirements, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0006] Limited precision: Due to the limitation of manual operation, traditional equipment may have limited precision and it is difficult to ensure the precise placement of the strips.
[0007] Lower safety: Traditional machines may lack advanced safety control systems, pose certain safety risks, and require additional safety management measures.
[0008] High cost: Manual operation requires high labor costs, plus equipment maintenance and operating costs, making the overall cost of traditional equipment high.
[0009] In general, traditional machines may have certain limitations and shortcomings in terms of flexibility, production efficiency, precision, safety and technological updates. Therefore, it is urgent to design a device for automatically placing EVA strips with a robotic arm to solve the problems of poor flexibility, low automation, high labor costs and low efficiency in placing EVA strips in the existing photovoltaic panel production process.
