[0002] With the continuous development and technological innovation of the new energy photovoltaic industry technology, the continuous development and technological innovation of new products of crystalline silicon solar modules, the current mainstream products in the industry are mainly MBB half-cell multi-busbar products, which mainly use round wire welding ribbons. Compared with conventional products with rectangular welding ribbons, the proportion of cold soldering in multi-busbar products using round wire welding ribbons is much higher than that of conventional products with rectangular welding ribbons, and the difficulty of reworking multi-busbar products is much greater than that of conventional products, especially for problems such as cold soldering on the front side and welding ribbon offset. The battery string needs to be removed before normal repair. After qualified repair, it needs to be re-arranged, and the battery string and the bus bar need to be welded together to complete the entire repair process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present solution is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0017] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a solar module repair line structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model, see Figure 1 An embodiment of the utility model includes a rework distribution device, an input end of the rework distribution device is used to receive rework components, and an output end of the rework distribution device is respectively connected to the input ends of a fast rework channel and a common rework channel, and conveyor belts are provided on the fast rework channel and the common rework channel for the flow of rework components.

The repair component enters the manual inspection station 2 through the first conveyor belt 1, and the worker determines the repair difficulty level of the repair component according to the repair problem of the repair component, and affixes a barcode containing the repair difficulty level information. After the barcode is affixed, the repair component enters the sorting station 3, and the worker scans the barcode through the barcode scanning device to obtain the repair difficulty level of the repair component, and allocates the easy-to-repair component to the fast repair channel, and the difficult-to-repair component to the ordinary repair channel.

[0020] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the flow of rework components from the first stacking station 5 to the first glass taking and combining machine 6, a turning transmission device is arranged between the first stacking station 5 and the first glass taking and combining machine 6. The turning transmission device is provided with a rotating table 9 and a fourth conveyor belt 10 connected to the rotating table 9. The rotating table 9 is respectively connected to the output end of the first stacking station 5 and the input end of the fourth conveyor belt 10. The output end of the fourth conveyor belt 10 is connected to the first input end of the first glass taking and combining machine 6.

[0021] The components that are easy to repair enter the first stacking station 5 through the second conveyor belt 4. The stacking station can store at least 20 components that are easy to repair. The components that are easy to repair pass through the rotating table 9 and the fourth conveyor belt 10 in turn to reach the first glass taking and combining machine 6. After the first glass taking and combining machine 6 takes out the back glass of the components that are easy to repair, the components that are easy to repair enter the first repair station 7 for repair. After the repair is completed, the first glass taking and combining machine 6 puts the back glass just taken out back into the components that are easy to repair. The components that are easy to repair flow out of the fast repair channel through the third conveyor belt 8.

[0022] Furthermore, the common rework channel includes a fifth conveyor belt 11 connected to the sorting station 3, the output end of the fifth conveyor belt 11 is connected to the input end of the second stacking station 12, the output end of the second stacking station 12 is connected to the input end of the second glass taking and combining machine 13, the output end of the second glass taking and combining machine 13 is connected to the input end of the second rework station 14, the output end of the second rework station 14 is connected to the input end of the component transfer station 15, the output end of the component transfer station 15 is connected to the input end of the third rework station 16, the output end of the third rework station 16 is connected to the second input end of the first glass taking and combining machine 6, and the second output end of the first glass taking and combining machine 6 is connected to the sixth conveyor belt 17.

[0023] Since the repair time of difficult-to-repair components is relatively long, two repair stations are provided on the common repair channel. In order to facilitate the circulation of difficult-to-repair components, the first glass taking and combining machine 6, the second glass taking and combining machine 13, the second repair station 14, the component transfer station 15 and the third repair station 16 are all double-layer structures and are provided with cylinders. The cylinders are used to realize the lifting of the upper and lower layers. In addition, both sides of the second repair station 14, the component transfer station 15 and the third repair station 16 are provided with repaired buttons and unrepaired buttons. The repaired buttons and unrepaired buttons are used to control the circulation of the repaired components. In addition, in order to facilitate the placement of the back glass of the repaired components on the repair station, the first glass taking and combining machine 6 and the second glass taking and combining machine 13 are provided with mechanical arms, and the mechanical arms realize turning in different directions.

[0024] The first difficult-to-repair component enters the second stacking station 12 through the fifth conveyor belt 11, and then reaches the second glass taking and combining machine 13. The second glass taking and combining machine 13 takes out the back glass of the first difficult-to-repair component and places the back glass on the upper layer of the second glass taking and combining machine 13. The first difficult-to-repair component enters the second rework station 14. The worker presses the rising button next to the second rework station 14 to raise the first difficult-to-repair component, and reworks it on the upper layer of the second rework station 14. The lower layer of the second rework station 14 can carry out normal circulation of reworked components; after the rework is completed, the first difficult-to-repair component descends to the lower layer of the second rework station 14, and the second glass taking and combining machine 13 puts the back glass just taken out back into the first difficult-to-repair component. After the worker presses the reworked button next to the second rework station 14, the first difficult-to-repair component passes through the component transfer station 15, the third rework station 16, and the first glass taking and combining machine 6 in sequence, and then flows out of the ordinary rework channel through the sixth conveyor belt 17.

[0025] The second difficult-to-repair component enters the second stacking station 12 through the fifth conveyor belt 11, and then reaches the lower level of the second rework station 14 through the lower level of the second glass taking and combining machine 13. After the worker presses the "not reworked" button next to the second rework station 14, the second difficult-to-repair component enters the lower level of the third rework station 16 through the component transfer station 15. The worker presses the rising button next to the third rework station 16 to raise the second difficult-to-repair component to the upper level of the third rework station 16. The first glass taking and combining machine 6 takes out the back glass of the second difficult-to-repair component and reworks it. After the rework is completed, the first glass taking and combining machine 6 puts the back glass just taken out back into the second difficult-to-repair component, and the second difficult-to-repair component descends to the lower level of the third rework station 16. After the worker presses the "repaired" button next to the third rework station 16, the second difficult-to-repair component passes through the first glass taking and combining machine 6, and then flows out of the ordinary rework channel through the sixth conveyor belt 17.

[0026] Considering that the repair time of difficult-to-repair components is relatively long, if the ordinary repair channel is blocked but the fast repair channel is idle, the difficult-to-repair components can be transferred to the first repair station 7 for repair. Specifically, the difficult-to-repair components enter the second stacking station 12 through the fifth conveyor belt 11, and then reach the lower level of the second repair station 14 through the lower level of the second glass taking and combining machine 13. After the worker presses the "not repaired" button next to the second repair station 14, the difficult-to-repair components enter the lower level of the third repair station 16 through the component transfer station 15. After the worker presses the "not repaired" button next to the third repair station 16, the difficult-to-repair components arrive at the first glass taking and combining machine 6. After the first glass taking and combining machine 6 takes out the back glass of the difficult-to-repair components, the difficult-to-repair components enter the first repair station 7 for repair. After the repair is completed, the first glass taking and combining machine 6 puts the back glass just taken out back into the difficult-to-repair components, and the difficult-to-repair components are transferred out of the fast repair channel through the third conveyor belt 8.
