Handling equipment for photovoltaic modules

Abstract

The present application discloses a handling tool for photovoltaic modules, including a first clamping frame and two second clamping frames; the sum of the lengths of the two second clamping frames is not greater than the length of the photovoltaic module, and the length of the first clamping frame is equal to the length of the photovoltaic module. The present application realizes the handling of photovoltaic modules by setting a first clamping frame and two second clamping frames. It is prevented that the operator directly contacts the glass of the photovoltaic module during handling, thereby preventing the glass from being contaminated. The first clamping frame and the second clamping frame are both used to clamp the long edge of the photovoltaic module. During the handling process, the long edge of the photovoltaic module is supported by the force applied to the first clamping frame and the second clamping frame, thereby reducing the bending and deformation of the glass caused by handling, and avoiding collision and damage with the assembly line and the generation of hidden cracks. When the operator carries the module to the turnover vehicle, one side of the two second clamping frames is placed downward, which can shorten the single withdrawal time of the handling tool on the bottom edge and improve the handling efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of solar energy component manufacturing, in particular to a handling tool for photovoltaic components. Background Art

[0002] In the solar photovoltaic industry, defective photovoltaic modules produced during the production process need to be removed from the production line for turnover. Currently, the most common way to remove modules from the production line is for operators to manually lift them. An operator on each short side of the module lifts the module and places it on the offline turnover vehicle.

[0003] With the development of the photovoltaic industry, the glass in photovoltaic modules is getting thinner and larger in size. This causes the middle part of the module to bend into a bow shape when the operator lifts the module. Especially for Topcon cells, due to their relatively thin thickness, they are prone to new hidden cracks after bending and deformation. At the same time, during the handling process, the bent part of the module is prone to collision and scratching with the assembly line, which leads to module failure. In addition, when the operator manually handles the module, he directly touches the glass of the module, which is easy to cause the glass to be dirty.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a tooling for transporting photovoltaic modules to solve the potential safety hazards and problems in the process of transporting photovoltaic modules has become a key issue that technical operators in this field need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve at least one technical problem of the prior art, the utility model provides a handling tool for photovoltaic modules, which can prevent the photovoltaic modules from bending and deforming during transportation, colliding with the assembly line, and direct contact between operators and the glass of the photovoltaic modules, thereby achieving safe and convenient transportation of the photovoltaic modules.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] A handling tool for photovoltaic components, comprising a first clamping frame for clamping one long edge of the photovoltaic component and two second clamping frames for clamping the other long edges of the photovoltaic component;

[0008] The sum of the lengths of the two second clamping frames is not greater than the length of the photovoltaic assembly, and the length of the first clamping frame is equal to the length of the photovoltaic assembly.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first clamping frame includes:

[0010] The first clamping body comprises a first top wall, a first side wall and a first bottom wall connected in sequence, wherein the first top wall, the first side wall and the first bottom wall enclose a first accommodation space, and a first opening for a long edge of the photovoltaic module to enter is formed on the opposite side of the first side wall, and the first opening is connected to the first accommodation space;

[0011] The width of the first opening is equal to the thickness of the photovoltaic assembly, and the width of the first accommodating space is not less than the width of the first opening; and

[0012] Two first gripping bodies are symmetrically arranged on the first clamping body and are respectively arranged close to two ends of the first clamping body in the length direction. The surface of the first gripping body is provided with a first anti-slip structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first holding body includes a first upper enclosure, a first side enclosure, and a first lower enclosure extending outward from an outer surface of the first clamping body and connected in sequence, and the first anti-slip structure is at least arranged on the outer surfaces of the first upper enclosure and the first lower enclosure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first side periphery is provided with a first protrusion protruding outward.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first anti-slip structure is made of a flexible material.

[0016] In some embodiments, the second clamping frame includes:

[0017] The second clamping body comprises a second top wall, a second side wall and a second bottom wall connected in sequence, wherein the second top wall, the second side wall and the second bottom wall enclose a second accommodation space, and a second opening for the other long edge of the photovoltaic assembly to enter is formed on the opposite side of the second side wall, and the second opening is connected to the second accommodation space;

[0018] The width of the second opening is equal to the thickness of the photovoltaic assembly, and the width of the second accommodating space is not less than the width of the second opening; and

[0019] The second holding body is arranged on the second clamping body, and the center line of the second clamping body is colinear with the center line of the second holding body. The surface of the second holding body is provided with a second anti-slip structure.

[0020] In some embodiments, the second gripping body includes a second upper enclosure, a second side enclosure, and a second lower enclosure extending outward from an outer surface of the second clamping body and connected in sequence, and the second anti-slip structure is at least arranged on the outer surfaces of the second upper enclosure and the second lower enclosure.

[0021] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the second side periphery is provided with a second protrusion protruding outward.

[0022] In some embodiments, the second anti-slip structure is made of a flexible material.

[0023] In some embodiments, the distance from the end surface of the second clamping body in the length direction to the second holding body is equal to the distance from the end surface of the first clamping body in the length direction to the adjacent first holding body.

[0024] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present application compared with the prior art are:

[0025] The photovoltaic assembly is transported by providing a first clamping frame for clamping one long edge of the photovoltaic assembly and two second clamping frames for clamping the other long edge of the photovoltaic assembly, thereby preventing operators from directly contacting the glass of the photovoltaic assembly during transportation, thereby preventing the glass from being contaminated.

[0026] At the same time, the first clamping frame and the second clamping frame are both used to clamp the long edges of the photovoltaic modules, so that during the transportation process, the long edges of the photovoltaic modules are supported by the force exerted on the first clamping frame and the second clamping frame, replacing the traditional transportation method of exerting force on the short edges, reducing the bending and deformation of the glass caused by transportation, and avoiding collision and damage with the assembly line and hidden cracks.

[0027] In addition, the sum of the lengths of the two second clamping frames is not greater than the length of the photovoltaic module. When the operator carries the module to the turnover vehicle, the photovoltaic module is clamped by the two second clamping frames and placed downward on one side. This can shorten the single withdrawal time of the carrying tooling on the bottom edge of the photovoltaic module, reduce the difficulty of operation, and improve the carrying efficiency.

[0038] See also Figure 1 The handling tool for photovoltaic modules of one embodiment of the present application includes a first clamping frame 1 for clamping one long edge of the photovoltaic module 100 and two second clamping frames 2 for clamping the other long edges of the photovoltaic module 100. The sum of the lengths of the two second clamping frames 2 is not greater than the length of the photovoltaic module 100, and the length of the first clamping frame 1 is equal to the length of the photovoltaic module 100.

[0039] The first clamping frame 1 is used to clamp one long edge of the photovoltaic assembly 100, and the two second clamping frames 2 are used to clamp the other long edge of the photovoltaic assembly 100, so as to realize the transportation of the photovoltaic assembly 100. It is avoided that the operator directly touches the glass of the photovoltaic assembly 100 during transportation, thereby preventing the glass from being contaminated.

[0040] At the same time, the first clamping frame 1 and the second clamping frame 2 are both used to clamp the long edge of the photovoltaic component 100, so that during the transportation process, the long side of the photovoltaic component 100 is supported by the force applied to the first clamping frame 1 and the second clamping frame 2, replacing the traditional transportation method of applying force on the short edge, reducing the bending and deformation of the glass caused by transportation, and avoiding collision and damage with the assembly line and the generation of hidden cracks.

[0041] In addition, the sum of the lengths of the two second clamping frames 2 is not greater than the length of the photovoltaic component 100. When the operator carries the component to the turnover vehicle, the photovoltaic component 100 is clamped by the two second clamping frames 2 on one side and placed downward. This can shorten the single withdrawal time of the carrying tooling on the bottom edge of the photovoltaic component 100, reduce the difficulty of operation, and improve the carrying efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first clamping frame 1 includes a first clamping body 1 and two first holding bodies 12. The second clamping frame 2 includes a second clamping body 21 and a second holding body 22.

[0043] Specifically, the first clamping body 1 includes a first top wall 111, a first side wall 112 and a first bottom wall 113 connected in sequence, and the first top wall 111, the first side wall 112 and the first bottom wall 113 enclose a first accommodating space, and a first opening 114 for a long edge of the photovoltaic component 100 to enter is formed on the opposite side of the first side wall 112, and the first opening 114 is connected to the first accommodating space. The width of the first opening 114 is equal to the thickness of the photovoltaic component 100, and the width of the first accommodating space is not less than the width of the first opening 114. The two first holding bodies 12 are symmetrically arranged on the first clamping body 1, and are respectively arranged close to the two ends of the first clamping body 1 in the length direction, and a first anti-slip structure 13 is provided on the surface of the first holding body 12. It should be noted that, in the length direction, Figure 1 As shown by arrow a in the middle. The width direction of the first opening 114, the second opening 214, the first accommodation space, and the second accommodation space is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown by arrow b.

[0044] The second clamping body 21 includes a second top wall 211, a second side wall 212, and a second bottom wall 213 connected in sequence. The second top wall 211, the second side wall 212, and the second bottom wall 213 enclose a second accommodation space. The second side wall 212 forms a second opening 214 for the other long edge of the photovoltaic module 100 to enter, and the second opening 214 is connected to the second accommodation space. The width of the second opening 214 is equal to the thickness of the photovoltaic module 100, and the width of the second accommodation space is not less than the width of the second opening 214. The second gripping body 22 is disposed on the second clamping body 21, and the center line of the second clamping body 21 is collinear with the center line of the second gripping body 22. The surface of the second gripping body 22 is provided with a second anti-slip structure 23.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first gripping body 12 includes a first upper enclosure, a first side enclosure, and a first lower enclosure extending outward from the outer surface of the first clamping body 1 and connected in sequence, and the first anti-slip structure 13 is at least provided on the outer surfaces of the first upper enclosure and the first lower enclosure. The second gripping body 22 includes a second upper enclosure, a second side enclosure, and a second lower enclosure extending outward from the outer surface of the second clamping body 21 and connected in sequence, and the second anti-slip structure 23 is at least provided on the outer surfaces of the second upper enclosure and the second lower enclosure. By integrally arranging the first clamping body 1 and the first gripping body 12, and the second clamping body 21 and the second gripping body 22, the structural stability is improved.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the first holding body 12 and the second holding body 22 can be embedded in the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 21 respectively, and fixed by gluing or countersunk bolts.

[0047] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first side periphery is provided with a first protruding portion 14 protruding outward, and the outer surface of the second side periphery is provided with a second protruding portion 24 protruding outward.

[0048] Specifically, the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 24 are both in an arc-shaped curved surface structure. By providing the first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 24, the contact area between the operator's hand and the first grip body 12 and the second grip body 22 can be increased. The first protrusion 14 and the second protrusion 24 are arranged as an arc-shaped curved surface structure to match the natural curve of the human hand, making the grip more ergonomic, reducing hand fatigue, and increasing the operator's operating comfort.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first anti-slip structure 13 and the second anti-slip structure 23 are made of flexible materials.

[0050] Specifically, the flexible material can be rubber, which is bonded to the first grip body 12 and the second grip body 22 by glue; or the flexible material can be an anti-slip tape, the surface of which is covered with granular or textured protrusions; or it can be silicone, the surface of which is covered with granular or textured protrusions. The present application does not specifically limit the type of the flexible material.

[0051] The first anti-skid structure 13 and the second anti-skid structure 23 are made of flexible materials, which can better adapt to the operator's hands and provide a more comfortable touch and grip feeling, thereby reducing hand fatigue during long-term use and increasing the comfort of use.

[0052] In some embodiments, the distance from the end surface of the second clamping body 21 in the length direction to the second holding body 22 is equal to the distance from the end surface of the first clamping body 1 in the length direction to the adjacent first holding body 12 .

[0053] When in use, the first clamping frame 1 can be clamped on one long edge of the photovoltaic module 100, and the two second clamping frames 2 can be clamped on the other long edge of the photovoltaic module 100. The two second clamping frames 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the corresponding long edge, and the end faces are flush with the end faces of the long edge of the photovoltaic module 100, so that the two second gripping bodies 22 and the two first gripping bodies 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the photovoltaic module 100. In this way, when transporting, the force positions at both ends of the photovoltaic module 100 correspond to each other, which can maintain the balance of the photovoltaic module 100, facilitate transportation, and avoid the generation of hidden cracks in the photovoltaic module 100.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
