[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a photovoltaic glass plate coated with EVA film smoothing mechanism of the utility model is installed on a conveyor line 100 conveying photovoltaic modules, wherein the photovoltaic modules include photovoltaic glass plates with EVA film laid on the surface, including:
[0034] Two smoothing devices 1 are arranged symmetrically across the conveying line 100 , and each of the smoothing devices 1 comprises a smoothing block 11 having a contact portion 111 ;
[0035] A smoothing driving device 2, used for driving the two smoothing devices 1 to move relative to or away from each other;
[0036] A lifting device 3, used for driving the two smoothing devices 1 to perform lifting motion simultaneously;
[0037] When the photovoltaic assembly is conveyed to a predetermined position by the conveyor line 100 and the two smoothing devices 1 are lowered by the lifting device 3 , the corresponding two contact parts 111 can be driven by the smoothing driving device 2 to smoothen from the middle area of the photovoltaic glass panel to both sides.
[0038] It should be understood that when the photovoltaic glass panel enters the smoothing area of the conveyor line 100, the smoothing drive device 2 contracts from the middle to both sides, and the smoothing device 1 lightly touches the center of the film photovoltaic glass panel and smoothes it to both sides; when the photovoltaic glass panel has not entered the smoothing area, the lifting device 3 is in an ascending state, so that the smoothing device 1 does not contact the EVA film, and when descending, the smoothing device 1 lightly touches the raised (bubble) part of the EVA film.
[0039] Therefore, the device smoothes the EVA film from the middle area of the photovoltaic glass panel to both sides through the coordinated action of the smoothing device 1, the lifting device 3 and the smoothing drive device 2, effectively discharges bubbles and bulges between the film and the glass, and ensures the flatness of the EVA film.
[0040] In one embodiment, the smoothing block 11 includes a vertical side end surface 11 a perpendicular to a horizontal plane and an inclined end surface 11 b connected to the vertical side end surface 11 a , and a triangular end formed between the vertical side end surface 11 a and the inclined end surface 11 b constitutes the contact portion 111 .
[0041] In addition, the vertical side end faces 11a of the two smoothing blocks 11 are arranged in parallel and can be pressed against each other when they move to the middle position so that the smoothing force is evenly distributed in the middle of the photovoltaic glass panel and can both contact the middle area of the photovoltaic glass panel.
[0042] The smoothing device 1 spans the conveyor line 100 and is relatively symmetrically arranged. Through the symmetrically arranged smoothing blocks 11, it can smoothen from the middle area of the photovoltaic glass panel to both sides, which can evenly discharge the bubbles and bulges between the EVA film and the glass, and can ensure the stability and uniformity of the entire smoothing process, and is not prone to deviation or unevenness.
[0043] In one embodiment, the smoothing block 11 is in the shape of a triangular prism, and the length of the smoothing block 11 matches the size of the photovoltaic glass panel.
[0044] In one embodiment, the material of the smoothing block 11 is polytetrafluoroethylene. The smoothing block 11 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has the characteristics of wear resistance, high temperature resistance and low friction, ensuring the stability and effect of long-term use. The characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene material enable the smoothing block 11 to remain stable in a high temperature environment and not easy to wear, while reducing the friction between the smoothing block 11 and the EVA film to protect the integrity of the film.
[0045] In one embodiment, the smoothing drive device 2 includes two mounting bases 21 respectively corresponding to the two smoothing devices 1, each mounting base 21 is installed with a horizontal cylinder 22, and the gas rod 221 of the horizontal cylinder 22 passes through the mounting base 21 and is connected to the smoothing device 1.
[0046] According to the above arrangement, when the photovoltaic glass panel enters the smoothing area of the conveyor line 100, the smoothing drive device 2 shrinks from the middle to both sides, and the smoothing device 1 touches the center of the film photovoltaic glass panel and smoothes it to both sides. Through pneumatic control, it is ensured that the smoothing block 11 can apply force evenly and discharge bubbles.
[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, since the horizontal cylinder 22 is long, in order to make it move stably, the gas rod 221 of each horizontal cylinder 22 is installed with a connecting beam 23 perpendicular thereto, and horizontal guide rails 24 located on both sides of the gas rod 221 of the horizontal cylinder 22 and parallel thereto are also installed between the two mounting bases 21. Slide blocks 25 slidably connected to the corresponding horizontal guide rails 24 are installed at both ends of each connecting beam 23. The design of the connecting beam 23 and the horizontal guide rail 24 increases the stability of the cylinder movement and prevents the horizontal cylinder 22 from deforming. The connecting beam 23 is vertically installed on the gas rod 221, and the slide block 25 is connected to the horizontal guide rail 24 to form a balancing effect to ensure the smooth movement of the cylinder. The connecting beam 23 includes an aluminum alloy profile, which is light in weight and low in cost.
[0048] In one embodiment, the lifting device 3 includes lifting cylinders 31 respectively arranged corresponding to the two mounting bases 21 , and the driving rods of the lifting cylinders 31 are connected to the mounting bases 21 .
[0049] In one embodiment, two vertical bases 32 are further included, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the lifting cylinder 31 , and each of the vertical bases 32 is slidably connected to a vertical guide rail 33 connected to the mounting base 21 .
[0050] In one embodiment, the lifting cylinder 31 adopts a double-rod cylinder, and the mounting base 21 is in a rectangular shape. A horizontal cylinder 22 hole for the gas rod 221 of the horizontal cylinder 22 to pass through and a horizontal guide rail 24 hole for the installation of the horizontal guide rail 24 are arranged along the horizontal direction of the mounting base 21. A vertical cylinder hole for the installation of the driving rod of the lifting cylinder 31 and a vertical guide rail 33 hole for the installation of the vertical guide rail 33 are arranged in the middle of the bottom surface in the vertical direction of the mounting base 21.
[0051] The lifting device 3 is used to drive the two smoothing devices 1 to perform lifting movements simultaneously, ensuring that the smoothing device 1 is in an ascending state when it is not in contact with the EVA film, avoiding unnecessary contact and damage, and being able to adjust the height of the smoothing device 1 as needed to adapt to photovoltaic glass panels and EVA films of different thicknesses.
[0052] In one embodiment, the smoothing device 1 also includes a mold base 12 and a shock-absorbing sponge 13 connected to the mold base 12, and the smoothing block 11 is installed on the shock-absorbing sponge 13, and the side ends of the mold base 12 and the shock-absorbing sponge 13 are flush with the vertical side end surface 11a of the smoothing block 11.
[0053] In addition, since the aluminum alloy profile has a notch, the mold base 12 can be provided with a corresponding plug-in column that is plugged into the aluminum alloy profile. When the smoothing device 1 is replaced, it can be directly inserted into the notch of the aluminum alloy, which is convenient and time-saving. The shock-absorbing sponge 13 uses a high-density sponge, which is light and soft. It plays a buffering role in the smoothing process to prevent the smoothing block 11 from causing hard damage to the EVA film and the glass plate, causing collision and crushing or crushing of the EVA film and the glass plate. It also provides a buffer when the two smoothing devices 1 are close to each other and contact, reducing the vibration caused by the collision.
[0054] During operation, before the photovoltaic glass panel (with an EVA film with bulges and bubbles spread on its surface) enters the conveyor line 100, the lifting cylinder 31 rises and the photovoltaic glass panel enters the smoothing area. After the photovoltaic glass panel enters, the long horizontal cylinders 22 on both sides extend to the middle of the photovoltaic glass panel, and the lifting cylinder 31 descends just enough to make the smoothing block 11 lightly touch the EVA film. At this time, the horizontal telescopic cylinders on both sides contract, and the smoothing block 11 smoothes from the middle to both sides. After the action is completed, the lifting cylinder 31 rises to make the entire mechanism leave the EVA film and the glass panel. At this time, the horizontal telescopic cylinder extends to wait for the next photovoltaic glass panel. The action is completed, and the photovoltaic glass panel proceeds to the next process.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to examples, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
