Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery string detection tooling, in particular to a transport mechanism used for moving a whole battery string. Background Art

[0002] After the entire photovoltaic cell string is welded, an EL test is required. During this process, the cell string needs to be transported from the discharge belt to the EL test station. After the test is completed, it is judged as OK / NG and placed in the corresponding station for subsequent use. In the existing process route, the front side of the cell string is facing up during welding, and the front side also needs to be tested during EL testing. Therefore, the entire string needs to be turned over and then transferred during transportation. In the existing process, when the adsorption point is at the grid line welding position, the adsorption effect is poor. There is a possibility that the entire string will be separated from the adsorption mechanism due to poor adsorption effect during transportation, resulting in waste of finished products.

[0025] The “first” and “second” involved in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0026] Combined with Figure 1-4A transport mechanism for moving a whole string of battery strings in this embodiment includes a lower material picking component 1 and an upper material picking component 2.

The other end of the connecting rod 32 is connected to an adsorption component 33.

[0027] The transport mechanism used for moving the entire battery string can achieve a wide range of adjustment of the horizontal plane of the adsorption point position; the other end is connected to the adsorption member 33, and the height of the adsorption point position can be adjusted by adjusting the relative height of the adsorption member 33 and the connecting rod 32.

After the bolt passes through the adjustment groove 31a and the connecting hole 22a, it cooperates with the nut to lock the connecting beam 31 and the connecting rod 32.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lower material picking component 1 includes a lower bracket 11; a first lifting component 12, which is used to control the up and down movement of the lower bracket 11, and the first lifting component 12 is a cylinder connected to the lower bracket 11; a lower rotating beam 13, which is rotatably connected to the lower bracket 11, and the lower rotating beam 13 can rotate with the length direction of the beam as the axis, and the lower rotation angle is allowed to be 180°; similarly, the upper rotating beam 24 can also rotate, and the allowed angle is 110°; a plurality of adsorption components 3 are connected to the lower bracket 11 along its length direction, and the adsorption components 3 are initially located on the lower end surface of the lower rotating beam 13. When it is necessary to transport the battery string on the lower material picking component 1 to the upper material picking component 2, the lower rotating beam 13 rotates to rotate the side provided with the adsorption component 3 to the top.

[0030] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a plurality of first sliders are slidably connected to the lower rotating beam 13 along its length direction, a slide groove for assembling the plurality of first sliders is provided on the lower rotating beam 13, the adsorption assembly 3 is connected to the first slider, and only one adsorption assembly 3 is allowed to be installed on each first slider, and the spacing and number of the adsorption assemblies 3 on the lower rotating beam 13 can be freely adjusted according to the length of the battery string.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the upper material taking component 2 includes an upper bracket 21; a translation component 22, used to control the horizontal movement of the upper bracket 21; a second lifting component 23, used to control the up and down movement of the upper bracket 21; an upper rotating beam 24, which is rotatably connected to the upper bracket 21, and the two ends of the upper rotating beam 24 are fixed on both sides of the upper bracket 21. The beam is driven to rotate by a separate driver. A plurality of adsorption components 3 are connected to the upper rotating beam 24 along its length direction. The arrangement of the adsorption components 3 on the upper rotating beam 24 is consistent with the arrangement of the adsorption components 3 on the lower rotating beam 13. A plurality of second sliders are slidably connected to the upper rotating beam 24 along its length direction. The adsorption component 3 is connected to the second slider.

The second lifting component 23 includes a lifting bracket 232 connected to the translation bracket 222 via a lifting rail 231, and the lifting rail 231 is arranged along a vertical straight line direction. The lifting bracket 232 is connected to the upper bracket 21. Through the translation rail 221 and the lifting rail 231, the upper bracket 21 can move horizontally and up and down relative to the fixed frame 25, thereby realizing the transportation of the battery string.

[0033] The working principle of the transport mechanism used to move the entire battery string:

[0034] 1. When the finished battery string enters the picking station from the conveyor belt, the lifting drive module of the lower picking component 1 starts to move and descends to the picking station; then the adsorption module moves to create a negative pressure vacuum to adsorb the entire battery string onto the component; then the lifting drive module continues to move and rises to the rotation station; then the rotation drive module moves to rotate the entire string 180°;

[0035] 2. The translation component 22 of the upper material taking component 2 starts to move and comes to the top of the lower material taking component 1; then the second lifting component 23 of the upper material taking component 2 starts to move and lowers the adsorption component to be flush with the flipped battery string; then the adsorption module of the lower material taking component 1 stops working, and the adsorption module of the upper material taking component 2 starts working to adsorb the battery string to the upper component; then the second lifting component 23 continues to move, rises to the safe position, and then moves horizontally to the detection station, and then the lower material taking component 1 is allowed to return to its original position, and then the lower material taking component 1 returns to its original position, realizing the upper and lower layer handover action;

[0036] 3. The upper material taking component 2 continues to operate to complete subsequent inspection and material discharge work.

[0037] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
