Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cells, and more specifically relates to a platform for photovoltaic component battery string layout. Background Art

[0002] In the production of photovoltaic silicon crystal cells, several relatively small unit cells are first arranged into cell strings, and then several cell strings are arranged in columns to form rectangular sheets, thereby producing larger solar panels. Since photovoltaic silicon crystal cell strings are relatively long, when the cell strings are arranged in columns, the cell strings must be rotated at an angle, and the cell strings must be arranged in a specified position and direction, that is, the cell strings are laid out.

[0003] Existing battery string layout platforms usually use robots to transport battery strings on transfer conveyor lines and arrange the battery strings for layout. Due to the long transportation stroke of the robot, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the battery string arrangement, which can easily cause the layout position of the battery string to shift. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a platform for layout of photovoltaic module battery strings, which can reduce the moving stroke of battery string transportation, reduce the spacing position error during battery string layout, and improve the accuracy of battery string layout.

[0005] The utility model discloses a platform for layout of a photovoltaic component battery string. The battery string is composed of a plurality of arranged battery sheets and comprises a conveying component, an extracting component and a transferring component.

[0006] The conveying assembly is fixedly arranged on the frame to receive the battery strings arranged longitudinally. The terminal of the conveying assembly is located at the lower side of the extraction assembly. The extraction assembly is slidably arranged between the conveying assembly and the transfer assembly to clamp and transfer the battery strings. The transfer assembly has a receiving station for receiving the battery strings. The battery strings are placed on the corresponding receiving stations. The transfer assembly is connected to the stepping motor of the peripheral device to move the receiving space to the receiving position by stepping.

[0007] As a further improvement of the utility model, the conveying assembly includes a conveying belt and a conveying motor. The conveying belt is fixedly arranged on the frame. The output end of the conveying motor is connected to the conveying belt, and the battery string is arranged on the upper side of the conveying belt.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the battery string located at the conveying assembly is arranged longitudinally, and the battery string located at the receiving station is arranged transversely.

[0009] As a further improvement of the utility model, the extraction component includes a suction cup cross bar and an extraction rod. The lower end of the extraction rod is connected to the upper side of the suction cup cross bar, and the extraction rod is connected to the output end of the external drive mechanism so that the extraction rod can move and rotate. A plurality of suction cups are fixedly arranged on the lower side of the suction cup cross bar. The suction cups are controlled by an external air pump to suck and release the battery string. The suction cup cross bar includes at least an extraction state and a release state. When the suction cup cross bar is in the extraction state, the suction cup cross bar is located on the upper side of the conveying component and is parallel to the conveying component. When the suction cup cross bar is in the release state, the suction cup cross bar is located on the upper side of the receiving station and is parallel to the receiving station.

[0010] As a further improvement of the utility model, the transfer assembly includes a plurality of material plates arranged at intervals. The material plates are arranged longitudinally and parallel to each other. The upper side of the material plate is a receiving station.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the conveying assembly, the extracting assembly and the transferring assembly are a group of working units. The platform includes two groups of working units that are symmetrically arranged on the left and right.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the length of the material plate is shorter than the length of the battery string. Both ends of the battery string extend outward from the material plate. A battery string is arranged on the material plate. The length of the conveyor belt is greater than the length of the battery string.

[0013] As a further improvement of the utility model, a correction camera is also included. The correction camera is arranged on the upper side of the extraction component. The correction camera is electrically connected to the external correction system. The correction system is connected to the extraction component to drive the extraction component to adjust.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] By setting up a conveying component, an extraction component and a transfer component, each battery string is extracted and placed on a stepping transfer plate. The stepping stroke of the battery string is greatly shortened relative to the reciprocating stroke of the robot, which can reduce the moving stroke of the battery string transportation, reduce the spacing position error during battery string layout, and improve the accuracy of battery string layout.
