Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic module production equipment manufacturing, and specifically to a busbar processing device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic modules, there is a process of welding busbars to the ends of the arranged battery strings. Before welding the busbars, a busbar processing device is required to cut the rolled busbars into busbars of a certain length. For busbars with different positions and process requirements on the battery string, the shape of the ends of the busbars will also have different requirements. In addition, the ends of the busbars need to be bent so that the ends of the busbars can be inserted into the junction box on the battery string.

[0003] In a conventional busbar processing device, a busbar pulling mechanism lays the multiple busbars cut by a cutting mechanism to corresponding processing stations one by one, and then a bending mechanism located at each processing station bends each busbar segment. A conventional multi-segment busbar processing device requires a laying operation for each busbar segment to be bent, which results in low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem of low processing efficiency of the existing busbar processing device, the present application provides a busbar processing device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A busbar processing device comprises a busbar pulling mechanism and at least one busbar processing mechanism, wherein the busbar processing mechanism comprises a carrier and at least one first processing component, wherein:

[0006] The carrier platform extends along a first horizontal direction, and at least one first processing channel is provided on the carrier platform and passes through the carrier platform vertically, and a first processing component is correspondingly provided at the first processing channel;

[0009] The busbar processing device of the utility model is provided with a busbar pulling mechanism to lay the busbar on the carrier, so that the busbar runs through each processing channel, and then the cutting part at each processing channel performs a cutting operation to cut the busbar into multiple busbar segments with ends of a predetermined shape, and finally, the first bending part at each processing channel performs a bending operation to achieve synchronous bending of multiple busbar segments. Compared with the traditional busbar processing device, the utility model improves the processing efficiency of the busbar.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first clamping portion includes a first side clamping assembly and a second side clamping assembly, wherein: the first side clamping assembly is disposed on a first side of a first processing channel, and the first side clamping assembly is configured to clamp the bus bar from the first side of the first processing channel; the second side clamping assembly is disposed on a second side of the first processing channel, and the second side clamping assembly is configured to clamp the bus bar from the second side of the first processing channel.

[0011] The first side clamping assembly and the second side clamping assembly clamp the bus bar from both sides of the first processing channel. After the cutting part cuts off the bus bar, the first side clamping assembly and the second side clamping assembly simultaneously press the ends of the two sections of the bus bar. In this way, the first bending part can smoothly implement the simultaneous bending of the ends of the two sections of the bus bar, thereby improving the bending efficiency and bending effect of the bus bar.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first side clamping assembly has the same structure as the second side clamping assembly, and the first side clamping assembly includes a pressure plate and a pressure plate driving assembly, wherein: the pressure plate is connected to the driving end of the pressure plate driving assembly, and the pressure plate driving assembly is configured to drive the pressure plate to rotate from the side of the supporting platform and press down onto the supporting platform to clamp the bus bar onto the supporting platform.

[0013] The pressing plate is rotated to the side of the carrier platform to avoid affecting the laying of the busbars, and the pressing plate is rotated to the top of the carrier platform to ensure that the busbars laid on the carrier platform can be pressed tightly.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cutting part includes a first translation module, a fixed bracket, a first punch mounting plate, a first die mounting plate and a first lifting module, wherein: the fixed bracket is connected to the movable part of the first translation module; the first punch mounting plate and the first die mounting plate are arranged up and down and one of them is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket, the first lifting module is mounted on the fixed bracket and is drivingly connected to the other of the first punch mounting plate and the first die mounting plate; the first die mounting plate has a first cavity, and the first punch mounting plate has a first punch corresponding to the first cavity; the first lifting module is used to drive the first punch mounting plate and the first die mounting plate to move closer to or away from each other, so that the first punch and the first cavity are molded or separated; the first translation module is used to drive the fixed bracket to translate along the second horizontal direction, so as to drive the first cavity and the first punch to move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar, and when the first punch is molded with the first cavity, a busbar with an end of corresponding shape is punched out, wherein the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0015] In the initial state, the fixed bracket and the first male mold mounting plate and the first female mold mounting plate thereon are in an avoidance position away from the first processing channel. When the busbar is laid on the carrier, the first translation module drives the fixed bracket to translate along the second horizontal direction, so that the first cavity and the first male mold move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar. Then, the first lifting module drives the first male mold mounting plate and the first female mold mounting plate to approach each other, so that the first male mold and the first cavity are molded together to punch the busbar, and the ends of the two punched busbars have a shape corresponding to the first cavity.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first bending portion is disposed in the first processing channel, and the first bending portion includes a bending piece and a bending drive assembly, wherein: the bending piece is connected to the driving end of the bending drive assembly, and the bending drive assembly is used to drive the bending piece to extend upward out of the first processing channel, thereby bending the end of the bus bar upward.

[0017] The bending drive assembly drives the bending piece to rise above the bearing surface of the bearing platform, thereby bending the busbar on the bearing platform. The bending drive assembly drives the bending piece to fall below the bearing surface of the bearing platform, thereby preventing the bending piece from affecting the laying of the busbar.

[0018] In some embodiments, the bending part includes a connecting plate, a first bending strip and a second bending strip, wherein: the connecting plate is horizontally connected to the driving end of the bending drive assembly; the first bending strip is vertically connected to the first end of the connecting plate and abuts against the first side wall of the first processing channel, and the second bending strip is vertically connected to the second end of the connecting plate and abuts against the second side wall of the first processing channel; when the bending drive assembly drives the connecting plate to rise, the first bending strip extends upward from the first processing channel to bend the end of the bus bar located on the first side of the first processing channel, and the second bending strip extends upward from the first processing channel to bend the end of the bus bar located on the second side of the first processing channel.

[0019] In the initial state, the first bending strip and the second bending strip are located below the bearing surface of the bearing platform to prevent the bending parts from affecting the laying of the busbar. After the cutting unit cuts the busbar, the bending drive assembly drives the connecting plate to rise, so as to drive the first bending strip to extend upward from the first processing channel to bend the end of the busbar located on the first side of the first processing channel, and the second bending strip to extend upward from the first processing channel to bend the end of the busbar located on the second side of the first processing channel.

[0020] In some embodiments, the bending drive assembly includes a first drive unit and a second drive unit, and the bending part includes a first flip plate and a second flip plate, wherein: the first flip plate is connected to the driving end of the first drive unit, and the first drive unit is used to drive the first flip plate to flip upward toward the first side of the first processing channel to bend the end of the bus bar located on the first side of the first processing channel; the second flip plate is connected to the driving end of the second drive unit, and the second drive unit is used to drive the second flip plate to flip upward toward the second side of the first processing channel to bend the end of the bus bar located on the second side of the first processing channel.

[0021] In the initial state, the first flip plate and the second flip plate are located below the bearing surface of the bearing platform to prevent the bending member from affecting the laying of the busbar. After the cutting unit cuts the busbar, the first driving unit drives the first flip plate to flip upward toward the first side of the first processing channel to bend the end of the busbar located on the first side of the first processing channel, and the second driving unit is used to drive the second flip plate to flip upward toward the second side of the first processing channel to bend the end of the busbar located on the second side of the first processing channel.

[0022] In some embodiments, the bus bar processing device includes at least two bus bar processing mechanisms arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction, and a second processing channel is formed between the supporting platforms of two adjacent bus bar processing mechanisms; the bus bar processing device also includes a second processing component arranged at the second processing channel, and the second processing component includes a second clamping portion and a second bending portion, wherein: the second clamping portion is configured to clamp the ends of two bus bars located on the supporting platforms of two adjacent bus bar processing mechanisms, and the second bending portion is configured to bend the ends of the two clamped bus bars.

[0023] By arranging at least two bus bar processing mechanisms at intervals along the first horizontal direction, the bus bar processing device of the present application can synchronously cut more than two bus bars into multiple bus bar segments, and synchronously bend the obtained multiple bus bar segments, further improving the processing efficiency of the bus bars.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second pressing portion has the same structure as the first pressing portion, and the second bending portion has the same structure as the first bending portion.

[0025] By setting the structures of the second pressing portion and the first pressing portion, and the structures of the second bending portion and the first bending portion to be the same, the consistency of the bending processing effect of the busbar processing device of the present application on the ends of each busbar can be ensured.

[0026] In some embodiments, the bus bar processing device also includes a feeding mechanism, a pressing mechanism, a cutting mechanism and a clamping mechanism arranged in front of the bus bar processing mechanism, wherein: the bus bar traction mechanism is used to pull the bus bar supplied by the feeding mechanism along a first horizontal direction, so that the bus bar passes through the pressing mechanism, the cutting mechanism and the clamping mechanism in sequence; the pressing mechanism is used to press the bus bar from the front side of the cutting mechanism, the clamping mechanism is used to clamp the bus bar from the rear side of the cutting mechanism, and the cutting mechanism is used to cut the bus bar to obtain a bus bar with a predetermined length; the bus bar traction mechanism is also used to lay the bus bar with a predetermined length obtained by cutting onto the supporting platform of the bus bar processing mechanism.

[0027] Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, the pressing mechanism, the cutting mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the busbar processing device realizes the automatic supply of the busbar of the predetermined length, and automatically lays the busbar of the predetermined length on the supporting platform of the busbar processing mechanism. Since the clamping mechanism is provided between the cutting mechanism and the busbar pulling mechanism, the cutting mechanism clamps the busbar when cutting the busbar pressed by the pressing mechanism. In this way, the stress generated by the cutting mechanism during cutting is buffered, thereby preventing the busbar between the busbar pulling mechanism and the cutting mechanism from being stretched, and preventing the cut end of the busbar from arching upward.

[0028] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes a second translation module, a mounting plate and a clamping assembly, wherein the mounting plate is connected to the second translation module and the clamping assembly is arranged on the mounting plate; the second translation module is used to drive the mounting plate to translate toward or away from the bus bar, so as to drive the clamping assembly to approach or avoid the bus bar.

[0029] In the initial state, the clamping assembly is in an avoidance position to avoid the busbar pulling mechanism and the busbar, so that the busbar is smoothly pulled toward the carrier. When the busbar is pulled into place, the clamping assembly moves toward the busbar to clamp the busbar.

[0030] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes a mounting bracket, a pressure plate, a pressure block and a clamping drive, wherein: the pressure plate is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket; the pressure block is slidably connected to the mounting bracket and is transmission-connected to the driving end of the clamping drive; the bus bar passes between the pressure block and the pressure plate, and the clamping drive is used to drive the pressure block to slide toward or away from the pressure plate to clamp or release the bus bar.

[0031] A clamping mechanism with a simple structure is provided, which drives the pressure plate to slide toward or away from the pressure plate through a clamping drive, so as to drive the pressing block to press the busbar passing between the pressing block and the pressure plate onto the bearing plate, or release the busbar.

[0032] In some embodiments, the cutting mechanism includes a first base plate, a second base plate, a third translation module, a transverse mounting frame, a second die mounting plate, a second punch mounting plate and a second lifting module, wherein: the second base plate is slidably connected to the first base plate and can slide along the second horizontal direction, the transverse mounting frame is arranged on the second base plate, the third translation module is arranged on the first base plate and is transmission-connected to the second base plate; the second punch mounting plate and the second die mounting plate are arranged up and down and one of them is fixedly mounted on the transverse mounting frame, the second lifting module is mounted on the transverse mounting frame and is transmission-connected to the other of the second punch mounting plate and the second die mounting plate, and the busbar is connected from the second punch mounting plate to the second die mounting plate. The busbar is passed between the plate and the second die mounting plate; the second die mounting plate has at least two second cavities of different shapes spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, and the second punch mounting plate has at least two second punches corresponding to the second cavities one by one; the second lifting module is used to drive the second punch mounting plate and the second die mounting plate to approach or move away from each other, so that the second punch and the corresponding second cavity are molded or separated; the third translation module is used to drive the second bottom plate to slide along the second horizontal direction, so as to drive one of the second cavities and the corresponding second punch to move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar, and when the second punch is molded with the second cavity, a busbar with an end of corresponding shape is punched out.

[0053] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application includes a busbar pulling mechanism 1 and two busbar processing mechanisms 2 arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction (such as the X-axis direction in the figure).

[0055] The busbar processing mechanism 2 includes a carrier 21 and at least one first processing component 22, wherein:

[0056] The carrier platform 21 extends along a first horizontal direction (such as the X-axis direction in the figure), and is provided with at least one first processing channel A which passes through the carrier platform from top to bottom, and a first processing component 22 is correspondingly provided at the first processing channel A. Figures 1 to 4In the embodiment, only one first processing channel A is provided on the carrier 21, and accordingly, the first processing assembly 22 includes only one first processing assembly 22. Of course, in order to improve the processing efficiency of the busbar, in other embodiments, more than two first processing channels A may be provided on the carrier 21 along the first horizontal direction, and one first processing assembly 22 is correspondingly provided at each first processing channel A.

[0057] The busbar pulling mechanism 1 is configured to lay a busbar having a predetermined length on the supporting platform 21 of the busbar processing mechanism 2 along a first horizontal direction. Figures 1 to 4 The busbar processing device in the embodiment includes two busbar processing mechanisms 2 , so the busbar pulling mechanism 1 needs to pull out two busbars with a predetermined length and lay the two busbars on the supporting platform 21 of one of the busbar processing mechanisms 2 .

[0058] The first processing component 22 includes a first clamping portion 221, a cutting portion 222 and a first bending portion 223, wherein the first clamping portion 221 is configured to clamp the bus bar, the cutting portion 222 is configured to cut the clamped bus bar, and the first bending portion 223 is configured to bend the end of the bus bar formed by cutting.

[0059] Optionally, the cutting part 222 (and the cutting mechanism 4) may use two cutting knives with parallel blades; or may use rotatable scissors; or may use a concave mold and a convex mold with matching shapes. The cutting part 222 may be set to any one of the above three embodiments according to actual conditions. In the present application, the following description will be based on the embodiment in which the cutting part 222 (and the cutting mechanism 4) uses a concave mold and a convex mold.

[0060] In addition, a second processing channel B is formed between the carriers 21 of two adjacent busbar processing mechanisms 2. The busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application further includes a second processing assembly 6 disposed at the second processing channel B, and the second processing assembly 6 includes a second pressing portion 61 and a second bending portion 62, wherein: the second pressing portion 61 is configured to press the ends of two busbars located on the carriers 21 of two adjacent busbar processing mechanisms, and the second bending portion 62 is configured to bend the ends of the two pressed busbars.

[0061] Please combine Fig.11 As shown, the working process of the busbar processing device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0062] like Fig.11 As shown in (a), the busbar pulling mechanism 1 pulls out two busbars to be processed with a predetermined length, and lays the two busbars on the supporting platforms 22 of two busbar processing mechanisms 2 respectively, wherein the ends of the two busbars close to each other extend above the second processing channel B.

[0063] like Fig.11 As shown in (b) , the first processing components 22 of the two bus bar processing mechanisms 2 punch out the corresponding bus bars into two sections respectively, thereby obtaining four bus bars.

[0064] like Fig.11 As shown in (c), the first processing components 22 of the two bus bar processing mechanisms 2 respectively bend the ends of the two bus bars located in the corresponding first processing channels A, and at the same time, the second processing component 6 bends the ends of the two bus bars located in the first processing channel B.

[0065] After the bending process is completed, four busbars with bent ends are obtained, wherein one end of the two busbars located at the two sides is bent to be processed into an "L"-shaped busbar, and both ends of the two busbars located in the middle are bent to be processed into a "U"-shaped busbar.

[0066] Compared with the conventional busbar processing device, the busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application can simultaneously prepare multiple sections of bent busbars, thereby improving the busbar processing efficiency. In addition, the cutting portion 222 of the first processing component 22 cuts the busbar by punching, so that a busbar with a predetermined shape (e.g., rounded or right-angled) end matching the shape of the cutting portion 222 can be obtained.

[0067] Figures 1 to 4 The bus bar processing device of the embodiment has two bus bar processing mechanisms 2 arranged at intervals along the first horizontal direction (such as the X-axis direction in the figure), and a second processing channel B and a second processing component 6 are arranged between the two bus bar processing mechanisms 2, so that the two bus bars pulled and laid by the bus bar pulling mechanism 1 can be synchronously processed.

[0068] Of course, in order to further improve the processing efficiency, three or more bus bar processing mechanisms 2 can also be set along the first horizontal direction, and a second processing channel B and a second processing component 6 are set between two adjacent bus bar processing mechanisms 2. In this way, the bus bar processing device can simultaneously implement synchronous processing of three or more bus bars pulled and laid by the bus bar traction mechanism 1.

[0069] In other optional embodiments, the busbar processing device of the present application may also be provided with only one busbar processing mechanism 2. Of course, since there is no second processing channel B, there is no need to provide the second processing component 6. In this case, the busbar processing device of the present application can only process a busbar pulled and laid by the busbar pulling mechanism 1. Of course, in order to improve the processing efficiency, two or more first processing channels A may be provided on the carrier 21 of the busbar processing mechanism 2, so that the busbar processing mechanism 2 can also punch and bend the busbar into three or more busbars with bent ends.

[0070] Optionally, the first pressing part 221 includes a first side pressing assembly and a second side pressing assembly, wherein: the first side pressing assembly is disposed on a first side (e.g., the left side) of the first processing channel A, and the first side pressing assembly is configured to press the bus bar from the first side of the first processing channel A. The second side pressing assembly is disposed on a second side (e.g., the right side) of the first processing channel A, and the second side pressing assembly is configured to press the bus bar from the second side of the first processing channel.

[0071] The first side clamping assembly and the second side clamping assembly clamp the busbar from both sides of the first processing channel A. After the cutting part 222 cuts off the busbar, the first side clamping assembly and the second side clamping assembly simultaneously clamp the ends of the two sections of the busbar. In this way, the first bending part 223 can smoothly implement simultaneous bending of the ends of the two sections of the busbar, thereby improving the bending efficiency and bending effect of the busbar.

[0072] Optionally, the first side clamping assembly and the second side clamping assembly have the same structure. Figure 4 As shown, taking the first side clamping assembly as an example, it includes a pressure plate 2211 and a pressure plate driving assembly 2212, wherein: the pressure plate 2211 is connected to the driving end of the pressure plate driving assembly 2212, and the pressure plate driving assembly 2212 is configured to drive the pressure plate 2211 to rotate from the side of the carrier platform 21 and press down onto the carrier platform 21, thereby pressing the bus bar onto the carrier platform 21.

[0073] During the busbar laying process, the pressing plate driving assembly 2212 rotates the pressing plate 2211 to the side of the carrier 21 to avoid the busbar pulling mechanism 1 and the busbar. After the busbar laying or punching of the busbar is completed, the pressing plate driving assembly 2212 drives the pressing plate 2211 to rotate and press down from the side of the carrier 21 onto the carrier 21, thereby pressing the busbar onto the carrier 21.

[0074] The second pressing portion 61 may adopt the same structure as the first pressing portion 221 to ensure that the second bending portion 62 bends the ends of the two bus bars extending above the second processing channel B.

[0075] like Figures 5 and 6As shown, optionally, the cutting part 222 includes a first translation module 2221, a fixed bracket 2222, a first male die mounting plate 2223, a first female die mounting plate 2224 and a first lifting module 2225, wherein: the fixed bracket 2222 is connected to the movable part of the first translation module 2221. The first male die mounting plate 2223 and the first female die mounting plate 2224 are arranged up and down and one of them is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket 2222, and the first lifting module 2225 is installed on the fixed bracket 2222 and is drivingly connected to the other of the first male die mounting plate 2223 and the first female die mounting plate 2224.

[0076] The first die mounting plate 2224 has a first cavity, and the first die mounting plate 2223 has a first convex corresponding to the first cavity. The first lifting module 2225 is used to drive the first convex mounting plate 2223 and the first die mounting plate 2224 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the first convex is molded or separated from the first cavity.

[0077] The first translation module 2221 is used to drive the fixed support 2222 to move along the second horizontal direction (such as Figure 5 The first punch is moved in a Y-axis direction to drive the first cavity and the first punch to move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar. When the first punch is molded with the first cavity, a busbar with an end having a corresponding shape is punched out, wherein the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0078] In the initial state, the fixed bracket 2222 and the first male mold mounting plate 2223 and the first female mold mounting plate 2224 thereon are in an avoidance position away from the first processing channel A. When the busbar is laid on the carrier 21 and needs to be punched, the first translation module 2221 drives the fixed bracket 222 to translate along the second horizontal direction, so that the first cavity and the first male mold move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar, that is, one of the first cavity and the first male mold moves into the first processing channel A, and the other of the first cavity and the first male mold moves to the first processing channel A.

[0079] Next, the first lifting module 2225 drives the first male mold mounting plate 2223 and the first female mold mounting plate 2224 to approach each other, so that the first male mold and the first cavity are molded together, thereby punching out a busbar with an end that matches the shape of the first cavity. For example, when the first cavity is a right-angle cavity, the ends of the two busbars punched out are right-angle ends, and when the first cavity is a rounded cavity, the ends of the two busbars punched out are rounded ends.

[0080] The first translation module 2221 can adopt various existing linear drive modules that can drive the fixed bracket 2222 along the second horizontal direction, such as a screw drive module composed of a motor, a screw, and a screw nut, or a cylinder drive module composed of a cylinder and a slide rail pair. The first lifting module 2225 can also adopt various existing linear drive modules that can drive the first male mold mounting plate 2223 or the first female mold mounting plate 2224 to rise and fall, such as Figure 5 The cylinder drive module shown in the figure is composed of a cylinder, a rotating shaft and a connecting rod.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the first bending portion 223 is arranged in the first processing channel A, and the first bending portion 223 includes a bending piece and a bending drive assembly 2231, wherein: the bending piece is connected to the driving end of the bending drive assembly 2231, and the bending drive assembly 2231 is used to drive the bending piece to extend upward out of the first processing channel A, thereby bending the end of the bus bar upward.

[0082] In the initial state, the driving bending member is located in the first processing channel A to avoid the busbar pulling mechanism 1 and the busbar to avoid affecting the laying of the busbar. After the cutting part 222 completes the punching of the busbar, the bending driving assembly 2231 drives the bending member to rise to a position higher than the bearing surface of the bearing platform 21. In the process, the bending member bends the end of the busbar on the bearing platform 21.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the bending member includes a connecting plate 2232, a first bending bar 2233 and a second bending bar 2234, wherein: the connecting plate 2232 is horizontally connected to the driving end of the bending drive assembly 2231. The first bending bar 2233 is vertically connected to the first end of the connecting plate 2232 and abuts against the first side wall of the first processing channel A, and the second bending bar 2234 is vertically connected to the second end of the connecting plate 2232 and abuts against the second side wall of the first processing channel A. When the bending drive assembly 2231 drives the connecting plate 2232 to rise, the first bending bar 2233 extends upward from the first processing channel A to bend the end of the bus bar located on the first side of the first processing channel A, and synchronously, the second bending bar 2234 extends upward from the first processing channel A to bend the end of the bus bar located on the second side of the first processing channel A.

[0084] The bending drive assembly 2231 can adopt various existing linear drive assemblies that can drive the connection plate 2232 to rise and fall, such as a lifting cylinder.

[0085] In another embodiment, the bending drive assembly 2231 includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit, and the bending member includes a first flip plate and a second flip plate, wherein: the first flip plate is connected to the driving end of the first driving unit, and the first driving unit is used to drive the first flip plate to flip upward toward the first side of the first processing channel A to bend the end of the bus bar located on the first side of the first processing channel A. The second flip plate is connected to the driving end of the second driving unit, and the second driving unit is used to drive the second flip plate to flip upward toward the second side of the first processing channel to bend the end of the bus bar located on the second side of the first processing channel A.

[0086] In the initial state, the first flip plate and the second flip plate are both in the first processing channel A, for example, the first flip plate and the second flip plate are both in a horizontal state and lower than the supporting platform 21, thereby avoiding the first flip plate and the second flip plate from affecting the laying of the busbar.

[0087] After the cutting portion 222 punches the bus bar, the first driving unit drives the first flip plate to flip upward toward the first side of the first processing channel A to bend the end of the bus bar located on the first side of the first processing channel A. Synchronously, the second driving unit drives the second flip plate to flip upward toward the second side of the first processing channel A to bend the end of the bus bar located on the second side of the first processing channel.

[0088] The first driving unit and the second driving unit may adopt various existing driving modules capable of driving the first flip plate and the second flip plate to rotate, such as a rotating driving module composed of components such as a cylinder and a connecting rod.

[0089] The second bending portion 62 can adopt the same structure as the first bending portion 223. The bending process of the ends of the two bus bars located at the second processing channel B is the same as the bending process of the first bending portion 223 on the ends of the two bus bars located at the second processing channel A that are cut off. For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 7 to 9 As shown, optionally, the busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application further includes a feeding mechanism (not shown in the figure), a pressing mechanism 3, a cutting mechanism 4 and a clamping mechanism 5 arranged in front of the busbar processing mechanism 2, wherein: the busbar pulling mechanism 1 is used to pull the busbar supplied by the feeding mechanism along the first horizontal direction, so that the busbar passes through the pressing mechanism 3, the cutting mechanism 4 and the clamping mechanism 5 in sequence. The pressing mechanism 3 is used to press the busbar from the front side of the cutting mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the busbar from the rear side of the cutting mechanism 4, and the cutting mechanism 4 is used to punch the busbar to obtain a busbar with a predetermined length.

[0091] The busbar pulling mechanism 1 lays the busbar having a predetermined length obtained by punching onto the carrying platform 21 of the busbar processing mechanism 2 .

[0092] The coordinated working process of the busbar pulling mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism, the pressing mechanism 3, the cutting mechanism 4 and the clamping mechanism 5 is as follows.

[0093] First, the busbar pulling mechanism 1 clamps the free end of the busbar released from the feeding mechanism from the cutting mechanism 4 and pulls the busbar toward the busbar processing mechanism 2 .

[0094] When the busbar of a predetermined length passes through the cutting mechanism 4 , the busbar pulling mechanism 1 stops pulling, the pressing mechanism 3 presses the busbar from the front side of the cutting mechanism 4 , and the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the busbar from the back side of the cutting mechanism 4 .

[0095] Then, the cutting mechanism 4 punches the busbar to obtain a busbar of a predetermined length. After the punching is completed, the clamping mechanism 5 releases the busbar, and the pressing mechanism 3 keeps pressing the busbar, ensuring that the new free end of the busbar released from the feeding mechanism is still located in the cutting mechanism 4, which is convenient for the busbar pulling mechanism 1 to clamp the busbar next time.

[0096] Finally, the busbar pulling mechanism 1 continues to pull the busbar of a predetermined length and lay it on the carrying platform 21 of the busbar processing mechanism 2 .

[0097] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, the pressing mechanism 3, the cutting mechanism 4 and the clamping mechanism 5, the busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application realizes the automatic supply of busbars of a predetermined length, and automatically lays the busbars of a predetermined length on the supporting platform 21 of the busbar processing mechanism 2.

[0098] In particular, since the clamping mechanism 5 is provided between the cutting mechanism 4 and the traction mechanism 1, the cutting mechanism 4 clamps the busbar when punching the busbar pressed by the pressing mechanism 3. In this way, the stress generated by the cutting mechanism 2 during punching is buffered, thereby preventing the busbar between the traction mechanism 1 and the cutting mechanism 2 from being stretched, and preventing the punched end of the busbar from arching upward.

[0099] like Fig. 9 As shown, optionally, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a second translation module 51, a mounting plate 52 and a clamping assembly 53, wherein the mounting plate 52 is connected to the first translation module 51, and the clamping assembly is arranged on the mounting plate; the second translation module is used to drive the mounting plate 52 to translate toward or away from the bus bar, so as to drive the clamping assembly 53 to approach or avoid the bus bar.

[0100] In the initial state, the clamping assembly 5 is in an avoidance position to avoid the welding strip pulling mechanism 1 and the busbar, so that the busbar is smoothly pulled toward the carrier. When the busbar is pulled into place, the second translation module 51 drives the clamping assembly 5 to translate toward the busbar to the clamping position to clamp the busbar.

[0101] Likewise, the second translation module 2221 may adopt various existing linear drive modules capable of driving the mounting plate 52 to translate toward or away from the bus bar.

[0102] Optionally, the clamping assembly 53 includes a fixed clamping jaw 531, a movable clamping jaw 532 and a clamping driving member 533, wherein the clamping driving member 533 is disposed on the mounting plate 52. The fixed clamping jaw 531 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 52, and the movable clamping jaw 532 is hinged on the mounting plate 52 and connected to the driving end of the clamping driving member 533. The clamping driving member 533 is used to drive the movable clamping jaw 532 to rotate toward or away from the fixed clamping jaw 532 to clamp or release the busbar.

[0103] like Fig. 9 As shown, optionally, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a mounting bracket 31, a pressure plate 32, a clamping block 33 and a clamping drive 34, wherein: the pressure plate 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 31. The clamping block 33 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 31 and is in driving connection with the driving end of the clamping drive 34. The busbar passes between the clamping block 33 and the pressure plate 32, and the clamping drive 34 is used to drive the clamping block 33 to slide toward or away from the pressure plate 32 to clamp or release the busbar.

[0104] like Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the cutting mechanism 4 includes a first bottom plate 41, a second bottom plate 42, a third translation module 43, a transverse mounting frame 44, a second concave die mounting plate 45, a second convex die mounting plate 46 and a second lifting module 47, wherein:

[0105] The second bottom plate 42 is slidably connected to the first bottom plate 41 and can slide along the second horizontal direction. The transverse mounting frame 44 is arranged on the second bottom plate 42. The third translation module 43 is arranged on the first bottom plate 41 and is in driving connection with the second bottom plate 42. The second male mold mounting plate 46 and the second female mold mounting plate 45 are arranged up and down and one of them is fixedly mounted on the transverse mounting frame 44. The second lifting module 47 is installed on the transverse mounting frame 44 and is in driving connection with the other of the second male mold mounting plate 46 and the second female mold mounting plate 45. The busbar passes between the second male mold mounting plate 46 and the second female mold mounting plate 45.

[0106] The second die mounting plate 45 has at least two second cavities of different shapes spaced apart in the second horizontal direction, and the second convex die mounting plate 46 has at least two second convex dies corresponding to the second cavities. The second lifting module 47 is used to drive the second convex die mounting plate 46 and the second die mounting plate 45 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the second convex dies are molded or separated from the corresponding second cavities.

[0107] The third translation module 43 is used to drive the second base plate 42 to slide along the second horizontal direction, so as to drive one of the second cavities and the corresponding second punch to move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar. When the second punch is molded with the second cavity, a busbar with an end having a corresponding shape is punched out.

[0108] For example, Fig.10 As shown, two second cavities are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction (such as the Y-axis direction in the figure) on the second die mounting plate 45, namely, a rounded corner cavity 451 and a right-angle cavity 452. Correspondingly, the second punch mounting plate 46 has two second punches, namely, a rounded corner punch corresponding to the rounded corner cavity 451 and a right-angle punch corresponding to the right-angle cavity 452. When the third translation die set 43 drives the transverse mounting frame 44 to translate to the first punching position, the rounded corner cavity 451 and the rounded corner punch move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar, so that when the rounded corner cavity 451 and the rounded corner punch are combined, a busbar with a rounded end can be punched out. When the third translation module 43 drives the transverse mounting frame 44 to translate to the second punching position, the right-angle cavity 452 and the right-angle punch move to the upper and lower sides of the busbar. In this way, when the right-angle cavity 452 and the right-angle punch are closed, a busbar with a right-angle end can be punched out.

[0109] Likewise, the third translation module 43 may adopt various existing linear drive modules capable of driving the second bottom plate 42 to slide along the second horizontal direction.

[0110] It can be seen that, by setting the cutting mechanism 4 , the busbar processing device of the embodiment of the present application realizes the automatic supply of busbars to be processed with ends of different shapes.

[0111] As mentioned above, before the busbar pulling mechanism 1 pulls the busbar each time, it first needs to clamp the free end of the busbar from the cutting mechanism 4. After punching, the new free end of the busbar is located at the middle position between the second male die mounting plate 46 and the second female die mounting plate 45.

[0112] In order to enable the busbar pulling mechanism 1 to smoothly clamp the end of the busbar, optionally, the cutting mechanism 4 further includes a fourth translation module 48 , and the first bottom plate 41 is transmission-connected to the fourth translation module 48 .

[0113] When the second punch and the second cavity punch out a busbar with an end having a corresponding shape and the mold is separated, the fourth translation module 48 drives the first base plate 41 to translate a predetermined distance away from the busbar traction mechanism 1 along the first horizontal direction, so that the free end of the busbar is exposed to the second punch mounting plate 46 and the second die mounting plate 45.

[0114] Likewise, the fourth translation module 48 may adopt various existing linear driving modules capable of driving the first base plate 41 to translate along the first horizontal direction.
