A plurality of photovoltaic modules 22 are stacked on the photovoltaic tray 2; the centering rib 3 is arranged along the extending direction of the first conveyor line 1. A centering groove 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the photovoltaic tray 2, and the centering groove 21 is centrally arranged on the bottom surface of the photovoltaic tray 2. The centering groove 21 is adapted to the centering rib 3; the first robotic arm 4 is arranged at a first preset position. The first robotic arm 4 has a first gripper, and the first gripper is used to unstack the photovoltaic modules 22 on the photovoltaic tray 2.

[0065] The purlin installation station 5 is arranged at a second preset position. The second preset position is adjacent to the first preset position. The first robotic arm 4 is used to place the unstacked photovoltaic modules 22 at the purlin installation station 5. The purlin installation station 5 is used to install purlins 57 on the photovoltaic modules 22. Denote the photovoltaic module 22 after the purlin 57 installation as the first pre-installed part; the second conveyor line 9 is arranged between the second preset position and the third preset position. The input end of the second conveyor line 9 is connected to the purlin installation station 5; the torque tube installation station 6 is arranged at the third preset position. The torque tube installation station 6 is arranged at the output end of the second conveyor line 9. The torque tube installation station 6 is used to install torque tubes 62 on the first pre-installed part. Denote the first pre-installed part after the installation as the second pre-installed part; the flipping station 7 is adjacent to the torque tube installation station 6. The flipping station 7 is used to flip the second pre-installed part; the transfer vehicle 8 is arranged at the output end of the flipping station 7. The transfer vehicle 8 is used to transport the flipped second pre-installed part to the installation area where the photovoltaic modules 22 are to be laid.

[0066] In this embodiment, the structures of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 9 can be the same. The difference lies in that the usage methods and layouts of the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 9 are different. The first conveyor line 1 is used to convey the photovoltaic tray 2 from the warehouse or the place where the photovoltaic tray 2 is placed to within the moving range of the first robotic arm 4. For the convenience of description, the first robotic arm 4 and the moving range covered by the first robotic arm 4 are denoted as the first preset position. The second conveyor line 9 is arranged between the purlin installation station 5 and the torque tube installation station 6. The second conveyor line 9 is used to convey the photovoltaic module 22 with the purlin 57 installed to the torque tube installation station 6 for applying the torque of the torque tube 62. Finally, the pre-installed photovoltaic module 22 is conveyed to the area to be installed by the transfer vehicle 8.

[0067] Further, a first conveyor rail is provided on the first conveyor line 1, and a first conveyor groove is provided at the bottom of the photovoltaic tray 2. The first conveyor groove is adapted to the first conveyor rail. That is, when the photovoltaic tray 2 moves from other places to the first conveyor line 1, the first conveyor rail and the first conveyor groove are fitted and overlapped, and the first conveyor line 1 pushes the photovoltaic tray 2 into the moving range of the first robotic arm 4. A centering groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the photovoltaic tray 2, and the centering groove 21 is arranged in the center. A centering rib 3 is provided on the first conveyor line 1. The centering rib 3 is arranged at the position where the first robotic arm 4 needs to grasp the photovoltaic module 22. The specific docking method between the centering rib 3 and the centering groove 21 can be referred to Figure 3 as shown. In this embodiment, when the centering rib 3 protrudes from the conveying surface of the first conveyor line 1, the first conveyor rail is disengaged from the photovoltaic tray 2, and the centering groove 21 at the bottom of the photovoltaic tray 2 is guided by the centering rib 3, so as to complete the centering operation of the photovoltaic tray 2 on the first conveyor line 1. It should be noted that when the first gripper of the first robotic arm 4 is on the first conveyor line 1 under logical control, there is a grasping reference point, which is the center point that the photovoltaic tray 2 needs to calibrate, that is, the significance of performing the centering step.

[0068] Further, the first robotic arm 4 shown in this embodiment can be a commercially available robot with a multi-degree-of-freedom combination, and the first gripper can also be a special fixture for gripping the photovoltaic module 22 commercially available.

The first pre-installed component with the installed torque tube 62 is denoted as the second pre-installed component.

[0070] It should be noted that for the convenience of installation, the photovoltaic module 22 is installed with its back facing up when installing the torque tube 62 and the purlin 57, and when installing the photovoltaic module 22 in the area to be installed, the photovoltaic module 22 is facing up to fully absorb solar energy. Based on this, the second pre-installed component needs to be flipped. In this embodiment, a flipping station 7 is added. The flipping station 7 is set at the output end of the torque tube installation station 6. After the second pre-installed component is placed on the flipping station 7, the flipping station 7 flips the second pre-installed component. The transporter 8 is placed under the flipped second pre-installed component. After receiving the second pre-installed component, the second pre-installed component can be transported to the area to be installed, so that the bracket of the second pre-installed component corresponds to the ground pile in the area to be installed, and the installation between the ground pile and the bracket is completed.

[0071] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the purlin installation station 5, the torque tube installation station 6, the first conveyor line 1, and the second conveyor line 9 can be set near the area to be installed.

The purlin installation station 5 and the torque tube installation station 6 can implement the pre-installation steps of the photovoltaic module 22, and the two can be carried out simultaneously to save installation time. Finally, only the transporter 8 is needed to transport the photovoltaic modules 22 one by one to the area to be installed for installation. Compared with the traditional installation method: first installing the ground piles, then installing the brackets, purlins 57, and torque tubes 62, and finally installing the photovoltaic modules 22, the installation process shown in this embodiment can make full use of the space around the area to be installed to realize the synchronous installation of the torque tubes 62, purlins 57, and ground piles, save installation time, and improve installation efficiency.
