In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a high-speed typesetting machine for solar cell strings, which solves the problem that the original typesetting method cannot match the rhythm of the high-speed string welding machine, has slow speed, complex structure, and difficult installation. It has the advantages of high typesetting efficiency, stable operation, easy installation, saving production costs, and high equipment integration.

[0033] The following is a detailed description of a high-speed typesetting machine for a solar cell string provided in this embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1As shown, it includes an integrated frame 1, in which a glass plate input mechanism 2, a glass plate output mechanism 3, a battery string conveying mechanism 4, a robot typesetting mechanism 5 and a lifting conveying mechanism 6 are installed; wherein the glass plate input mechanism 2 conveys the glass plate along a first direction x, and the glass plate output mechanism 3 conveys the glass plate after typesetting along a second direction y, the first direction x and the second direction y are vertically arranged, the first direction x is arranged along the width or length direction of the frame 1; the second direction y is arranged along the width or length direction of the frame 1; the robot typesetting mechanism 5 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame 1, and is used to directly grab the battery string 7 on the battery string conveying mechanism 4 for typesetting; the battery string conveying mechanism 4 is arranged between the two robot typesetting mechanisms 5, and is located above the glass plate input mechanism 2, for docking with the outlet of the high-speed string welding machine, and for conveying the battery string 7; the lifting conveying mechanism 6 is used to lift the glass plate on the glass plate input mechanism 2 for typesetting, and transfer the glass plate after typesetting to the glass plate output mechanism 3 for transportation to the next process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the high-speed typesetting machine corresponds to a single high-speed string welding machine. On the basis of the original typesetting method, a set of connecting lines is cancelled, the typesetting robot and the transfer platform are cancelled, and the redundant actions caused by the extra mechanism are reduced. The two operating robots are changed to the robot typesetting mechanism 5 in this embodiment, and an additional set of lifting and conveying mechanism 6 is added. The lifting and conveying mechanism 6 is used to lift the glass plate located on the glass plate input mechanism 2, and gradually move the glass plate in a relatively static state toward the direction of the robot typesetting mechanism 5 according to the specified distance set by the system. The robot typesetting Mechanism 5 directly grabs the battery string 7 located on the battery string conveying mechanism 4 and typesets it on the glass plate. After the typesetting is completed, the lifting conveying mechanism 6 transfers the glass plate to the glass plate output mechanism 3 for transportation to the next process, thereby eliminating the belt conveying method in the traditional conveying device. The typesetting method using the lifting conveying mechanism 6 and the two robot typesetting mechanisms 5 reduces the complexity of the robot's movements, simplifies the operations of taking strings and typesetting, shortens the typesetting cycle, and improves the typesetting efficiency. The typesetting method of this equipment has the advantages of fast speed, stable operation, and high equipment integration.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the glass plate input mechanism 2 is arranged on the left side of the frame 1, and includes an electric roller 21, a crossbeam 23 and a support frame 24. The crossbeam 23 is integrated and installed in the frame 1, and is set to two and arranged at intervals along the second direction y, and the crossbeam 23 is extended along the first direction x. The electric roller 21 is set in a plurality of groups, and a plurality of groups of electric rollers 21 are arranged between two crossbeams 23. A plurality of groups of electric rollers 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction x, and a first avoidance gap 22 is formed between two adjacent electric rollers 21. The length direction of the electric roller 21 is extended in parallel to the second direction y, and the two ends of the electric roller 21 are respectively installed on the crossbeam 23 through the support frame 24. In this embodiment, the glass plate input mechanism 2 uses the electric roller 21 to transport the glass plate. Compared with the traditional roller form, the assembly and processing difficulty of the electric roller 21 is low, and the equipment operation safety is high.

[0036] The glass plate output mechanism 3 is arranged on the right side of the frame 1, and includes a plurality of output assemblies 31, which are arranged at equal intervals along the first direction x, and the output assemblies 31 extend parallel to the second direction y, and a second avoidance gap 32 is formed between two adjacent output assemblies 31. Preferably, the output assemblies 31 can be a conveyor belt.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize the action requirements of the lifting and conveying mechanism 6, the glass bottom plate on the glass plate input mechanism 2 is lifted upward and moved along the second direction y according to the system set step distance, and then placed on the glass plate output mechanism 3, and then returned to the bottom of the glass plate input mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the lifting and conveying mechanism 6 is reasonably structurally designed.

[0038] Specifically, the lifting and conveying mechanism 6 is arranged below the glass plate output mechanism 3, and includes a cantilever assembly 61, a mounting base 62 and a moving base 63. When in use, the cantilever assembly 61 can be cantilevered from one side of the electric roller 21 and extended into the first avoidance gap 22 between two adjacent electric rollers 21, and can move up and down in the first avoidance gap 22 to lift the glass plate on the glass plate input mechanism 2, and can also move horizontally along the second direction y to transfer the glass plate to the glass plate output mechanism 3. The mounting base 62 is installed inside the frame 1 and located below the glass plate output mechanism 3, and a linear travel guide 621 extending parallel to the second direction y is arranged on the mounting base 62. The moving base 63 is arranged on the mounting base 62 and is slidably connected to the linear travel guide 621 through a slider, and then the moving base 63 can slide back and forth along the length direction of the linear travel guide 621. A ball screw 622 is also provided on the mounting base 62 . The ball screw 622 is driven by a motor to drive the movable base 63 to move along the extension direction of the travel linear guide rail 621 , that is, along the second direction y.

[0039] A vertically arranged lifting linear guide rail 631 is arranged on the movable base 63, and the cantilever assembly 61 is slidably connected to the lifting linear guide rail 631 through a slider, so that the cantilever assembly 61 can be raised and lowered along the height direction of the lifting linear guide rail 631. A lifting cylinder 632 is also arranged on the movable base 63, and the lifting cylinder 632 drives the cantilever assembly 61 to be raised and lowered along the height direction of the lifting linear guide rail 631.

[0040] The cantilever assembly 61 includes a plurality of support posts 611 spaced apart on the movable base 63 and a support rod 612 having one end fixed on the support post 611 and the other end extending horizontally and parallel to the second direction y. The support rod 612 is cantilevered on the support post 611 and extends toward the direction of the glass plate input mechanism 2. When the movable base 63 approaches the glass plate input mechanism 2, the cantilevered support rod 612 can gradually extend into the glass plate input mechanism 2 and extend under the glass plate. When the support rod 612 moves away from the glass plate input mechanism 2, the support rod 612 can gradually retract into the conveying section of the glass plate output mechanism 3, and the glass plate can be placed on the conveying plane of the glass plate output mechanism 3 by moving up and down.

[0041] Of course, the structure of the lifting and conveying mechanism 6 in this embodiment is not limited to this, and may also be other structural forms in other embodiments, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is also integrated with a bottom conveying mechanism 8, which is arranged in the space below the glass plate input mechanism 2 and extends in parallel to the first direction x. The bottom conveying mechanism 8 is used to convey the bottom glass plate for use by high-speed typesetting machines at other positions. In this embodiment, the component input mechanism 2 is in the form of an electric roller 21, and a large space can be reserved at its lower position according to the on-site layout, so that the two layers, namely the upper component input mechanism 2 and the lower bottom conveying mechanism 8, can simultaneously convey the glass plate without stopping the machine. The upper component input mechanism 2 can convey the glass plate to the high-speed typesetting machine in this embodiment for typesetting, and the lower bottom conveying mechanism 8 can convey the glass plate to the next high-speed typesetting machine for typesetting, so that the versatility of the typesetting machine can be improved.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, after the glass plate enters the high-speed typesetting machine from the glass plate input mechanism 2, the position of the four peripheries needs to be corrected before typesetting can be performed to ensure that the position of the typesetting battery string meets the requirements. Therefore, a correction mechanism 9 is also provided in the frame 1, and the correction mechanism 9 is provided above the glass plate input mechanism 2, and is used to correct the position of the glass plate transported on the glass plate input mechanism 2.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in one example, the correction mechanism 9 includes a short-side correction component 91 and a long-side correction component 92. The short-side correction component 91 is invertedly installed on the internal upper crossbeam of the frame 1, and specifically includes a first motor 911, a first synchronous belt 912 driven by the first motor 911 and circulating in parallel with the first direction x, and a first correction module 913 relatively arranged on the first synchronous belt 912 to achieve mutual movement of approaching or separating. The first correction module 913 includes a first telescopic cylinder 9131 and a first correction wheel 9132. The first telescopic cylinder 9131 is installed on the first synchronous belt 912 through a first mounting member 914. The first telescopic cylinder 9131 drives the first correction wheel 9132 to be raised and lowered. During correction, the first motor 911 rotates to drive the first synchronous belt 912 to work, and the first synchronous belt 912 drives the first telescopic cylinders 9131 at both ends to move toward the middle at the same time. The first correction wheel 9132 at the top of the first telescopic cylinder 9131 realizes the short side positioning of the glass plate in a clamping manner.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the long side alignment component 92 is installed on the crossbeam 23 of the glass plate input mechanism 2, and includes a second motor 921, a second synchronous belt 922 driven by the second motor 921 and circulating in parallel with the second direction y, and a second alignment module 923 relatively arranged on the second synchronous belt 922 to achieve mutual approach or separation. The second alignment module 923 includes a second telescopic cylinder 9231 and a second alignment wheel 9232. The second telescopic cylinder 9231 is installed on the second synchronous belt 922 through a second mounting member 924. The second telescopic cylinder 9231 drives the second alignment wheel 9232 to be raised and lowered. During alignment, the second motor 921 rotates to drive the second synchronous belt 922 to work. The second synchronous belt 922 drives the second telescopic cylinders 9231 at both ends to move toward the middle at the same time. The second alignment roller 9232 realizes the long side positioning of the glass plate in a clamping manner.

[0046] Since both the short side correction component 91 and the long side correction component 92 are provided with corresponding synchronous belts parallel to the first direction x or the second direction y, and the synchronous belts are continuous and uninterrupted, in order to better layout the correction mechanism 9. In this embodiment, the short side correction component 91 is hung upside down on the internal upper beam of the frame 1, and the long side correction component 92 is installed on the beam 23 at the bottom of the glass plate input mechanism 2, so that the synchronous belts of the short side correction component 91 and the long side correction component 92 can be completely staggered in height without interference. And according to Figure 2As shown, the second straightening module 923 in the long-side straightening component 92 is just arranged in the first avoidance gap 22, which does not affect the movement of the second straightening module 923. Since the short-side straightening component 91 is arranged upside down, an avoidance area 211 is also arranged on the electric roller 21. The first straightening wheel 9132 in the first straightening module 913 is correspondingly arranged in the avoidance area 211. Therefore, when the first straightening wheel 9132 moves along the first direction x, the avoidance area 211 can make way for the first straightening wheel 9132, thereby facilitating the first straightening wheel 9132 to perform positioning operations on the short side of the glass plate.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the battery string conveying mechanism 4 is arranged above the glass plate input mechanism 2, and the conveying direction of the battery string conveying mechanism 4 is consistent with the second direction y. The battery string conveying mechanism 4 is arranged in two groups, and the two groups of battery string conveying mechanisms 4 correspond to two robot typesetting mechanisms 5 respectively. When the battery string conveying mechanism 4 conveys the battery string 7 to the preset position, the robot typesetting mechanism 5 directly grabs the battery string 7 on the battery string conveying mechanism 4 and moves it to the position above the glass plate on the glass plate input mechanism 2 for typesetting. By arranging the battery string conveying mechanism 4 and the glass plate input mechanism 2 perpendicular to each other, the loading position of the glass plate can be staggered with the loading position of the battery string 7 to prevent interference between machines and equipment.

[0048] A visual correction mechanism 11 is installed on the frame 1, and the visual correction mechanism 11 is arranged above the battery string conveying mechanism 4, and is used to obtain the position of the battery string 7 and take photos to detect the appearance of the battery string 7. For example, the visual correction mechanism 11 may include a camera and a camera bracket, and the camera is installed on the frame 1 through the camera bracket. Optionally, the camera is a CCD camera, and the position of the CCD camera is adjustable.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, it should also be noted that the robot typesetting mechanism 5 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the battery string conveying mechanism 4. With this arrangement, the two sets of robot typesetting mechanisms 5 can be operated separately, thereby doubling the production efficiency.

[0050] In an achievable manner, the robot typesetting mechanism 5 includes a rotating arm mechanism 51 and a material picking mechanism 52, wherein the material picking mechanism 52 is mounted on the rotating arm mechanism 51; the rotating arm mechanism 51 drives the material picking mechanism 52 to pick up the battery string 7 from the battery string conveying mechanism 4 according to the position information of the battery string 7 transmitted by the visual correction mechanism 11, and transports the battery string 7 to the glass plate on the glass plate input mechanism 2, and arranges the battery string 7 according to predetermined requirements. Among them, the rotating arm mechanism 51 includes a control box 511, a first rotating arm 512 and a second rotating arm 513, and the control box 511 controls the rotation of the first rotating arm 512 and the second rotating arm 513, and the first rotating arm 512 is rotatably connected to the control box 511 through a first rotating shaft 514, and the first rotating shaft 514 is vertically arranged. It can be understood that the first rotating arm 512 performs a circular motion on a horizontal plane with the first rotating shaft 514 as the axis. The second rotating arm 513 is rotationally connected to the free end of the first rotating arm 512 through the second rotating axis 515, and the material picking mechanism 52 is installed at the free end of the second rotating axis 515. The second rotating axis 515 is vertically arranged. It can be understood that the second rotating arm 513 makes a circular motion on the horizontal plane with the second rotating axis 515 as the axis. Therefore, when the robot typesetting mechanism 5 is working, the first rotating arm 512 and the second rotating arm 513 make a rotational motion around the first rotating axis 514 or the second rotating axis 515, and are configured as a simple planar motion. When working in a plane coordinate system, the point-to-point planar motion mode is fast and simple to work. The streamlined structure makes the mass of each rotating arm and rotating axis lighter, and a very small inertia is obtained during high-speed rotation, so as to achieve the effect of high-speed typesetting.

[0051] In an achievable manner, the material taking mechanism 52 includes a material suction module 521 and a lifting module 522, wherein the material suction module 521 is used to suck the battery string 7 located on the battery string conveying mechanism 4, and the lifting module 522 is connected to the free end of the second rotating arm 513 through the third rotating shaft 516, and is used to control the lifting setting of the material suction module 521. Among them, the lifting module 522 can be a lifting screw, and it can be understood that the lifting module 522 can make a circular motion in a plane and can also be lifted and lowered at the same time.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the high-speed typesetting machine also has a material storage mechanism, which includes a linear guide 12 arranged on the frame 1 corresponding to the side of the robot typesetting mechanism 5, and a material box 13 slidably arranged on the linear guide 12. The material box 13 is set as a cache material box, an NG material box, etc. according to the needs. When set as an NG material box, the two robot typesetting mechanisms 5 each accurately pick up a battery string 7 according to the battery string position information obtained by the visual correction mechanism 11, and process it according to the detection result of the visual correction mechanism 11. If the detection is NG, it is placed in the NG material box. If the detection is OK, the two robot typesetting mechanisms 5 adsorb the two battery strings 7 and place them on the glass plate according to the typesetting requirements to complete the typesetting of the first row of battery strings.

[0053] In one practicable manner, a driving module 14 for driving the material box 13 to move is also provided on the linear guide rail 12. By using the driving module 14 to drive the material box 13 to slide on the linear guide rail 12, the material box 13 has a movable function, and can achieve material removal without stopping the machine. Preferably, the driving module 14 is configured as a cylinder.

[0054] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the battery string conveying mechanism 4 is connected to the outlet of a high-speed stringing machine to convey the battery string 7. After the visual correction mechanism 11 takes a photo for identification, the two robot typesetting mechanisms 5 directly grab the battery string 7 for typesetting. After the glass plate reaches the preset position through the glass plate input mechanism 2 and is corrected and positioned by the correction mechanism 9, the lifting and conveying mechanism 6 lifts the cantilever assembly 61 placed on the lower side of the glass plate input mechanism 2. The cantilever assembly 61 lifts the glass plate so that the glass plate is higher than the glass plate input mechanism 2. At this time, the glass plate is relatively still with the cantilever assembly 61 to ensure the positioning accuracy of the glass plate. The lifting and conveying mechanism 6 gradually conveys the glass plate to the direction of the robot typesetting mechanism 5 according to the distance specified by the system for typesetting. This cycle is repeated until the typesetting is completed. After the typesetting is completed, the lifting and conveying mechanism 6 lowers the cantilever assembly 6 so that the completed glass plate is placed on the glass plate output mechanism 3 and transported to the next process. The above-mentioned typesetting method can effectively save space during the installation process, and has a compact beat, simple movements, high typesetting efficiency and high stability during use.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
