Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic module production, and particularly relates to an efficient photovoltaic module typesetting machine.

Background Art

[0002] At present, in a photovoltaic typesetting device, usually two string soldering machines respectively output battery strings to two conveying components corresponding to the front ends thereof, or one string soldering machine outputs battery strings to two conveying components simultaneously corresponding thereto. Two manipulators are respectively arranged beside the two conveying components correspondingly. The two manipulators and the two conveying components are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The two manipulators transfer the battery strings from the two groups of conveying components to the bearing glass respectively to form two columns of battery strings for typesetting.

[0003] For the case of setting two string soldering machines, if one of the string soldering machines is damaged, the conveying component will lose the ability to supply battery strings. At this time, the manipulator needs to move to another conveying component to grab the battery strings and send them to the bearing glass on this side. The two manipulators grab the battery strings on the same conveying component, which will lead to insufficient supply of battery strings and reduce the typesetting efficiency. For the case of setting one string soldering machine, if the string soldering machine is damaged, both conveying components will lose the ability to supply battery strings and the typesetting operation cannot be completed.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an efficient photovoltaic module typesetting machine to solve the above technical problems.

Specific implementation manner

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , in this embodiment, there is a high-efficiency photovoltaic module typesetting machine. The high-efficiency photovoltaic module typesetting machine 100 includes a glass conveyor line 1 and a blocking and aligning mechanism 2 that blocks the forward conveyance of the glass and aligns the four sides of the glass. String welding machines (not shown in the figure) are arranged on both sides of the glass conveyor line 1. At least two receiving and conveying devices 3 for receiving and conveying battery strings are correspondingly arranged at the end of each string welding machine. Above the receiving and conveying device 3, there is a handling and typesetting device 4 for handling the battery strings on the receiving and conveying device 3 to the glass for typesetting. Beside the receiving and conveying device 3, there is a vision detection module 5 for photographing and positioning the battery strings.

[0036] There are four conveyor belts for conveying glass on the glass conveyor line 1, and the four conveyor belts are arranged in parallel at intervals. A typesetting station 62 and a transfer station 61 are arranged opposite to each other front and back on the frame 6, and the glass conveyor line 1 extends from the transfer station 61 to the typesetting station 62; the receiving and conveying device 3 is located on both sides of the glass conveyor line 1 and extends from the transfer station 61 to the typesetting station 62. The conveying direction of the glass conveyor line 1 is arranged parallel to the receiving and conveying device 3.

[0037] The blocking and aligning mechanism 2 includes a blocking component 21 that stops the glass at the front end of the glass conveyor line 1, a first aligning component 22 that aligns the glass at the rear end of the conveyor, and a second aligning component 23 that aligns both sides of the glass. The blocking component 21, the first aligning component 22, and the second aligning component 23 are all driven by a stepping motor 24 and are arranged on the frame 6 with adjustable positions. They are all arranged in a slider and slide rail manner. The arranged stepping motor 24 can drive the blocking component 21, the first aligning component 22, and the second aligning component 23 to move respectively, and can adapt to different sizes of glass, so that one-key switching can be adopted in the control system when changing the glass version, and the versatility is high.

[0038] The blocking component 21 includes a first cylinder 211 and a blocking wheel 212 driven by the first cylinder 211 to move up and down.

[0039] The first aligning component 22 includes a second cylinder 221, a first support plate 222 driven by the second cylinder 221 to move back and forth, a third cylinder 223 fixed on the first support plate 222, and a first aligning wheel 224 driven by the third cylinder 223 to move up and down.

[0040] The second aligning component 23 includes a fourth cylinder 231 and a second aligning wheel 232 driven by the fourth cylinder 231 to move left and right.

[0041] Series welding machines are arranged on both sides of the glass conveyor line 1, and at least two receiving and conveying devices 3 for receiving and conveying battery strings are correspondingly arranged at the end of each series welding machine, which can improve the typesetting rhythm and thus improve the typesetting efficiency. The receiving and conveying device 3 includes a conveying mechanism 31 that receives the battery strings on the series welding machine and conveys the battery strings, and a detection mechanism 32 arranged on the side of the conveying mechanism 31 for detecting the end leads of the battery strings.

[0042] The conveying mechanism 31 includes a conveying frame 311, pulley groups 312 arranged at both ends of the conveying frame 311, a conveyor belt 313 wound around the pulley groups 312, and a first driving member 314 that drives the pulley groups 312 to drive. There are two conveyor belts 313 and they are arranged in parallel.

[0043] The detection mechanism 32 includes a light-emitting plate 321 disposed on the side of the conveying rack 311 and a first camera disposed on the light-emitting plate 321 for photographing the end leads of the battery string. The height of the light-emitting plate 321 is lower than the height of the conveyor belt 313, so that when the battery string is located on the conveyor belt 313, the leads of the battery string fall onto the light-emitting plate 321 for photographing the end leads of the battery end, thereby realizing the quality detection of the end leads of the battery string; the detection mechanism 32 is disposed on the side of the conveying rack 311, and can complete the quality detection of the end leads of the battery string during the conveying of the battery string, with convenient operation and high detection efficiency.

[0044] The handling and typesetting device 4 includes a handling and typesetting robot 41 for handling the battery string and typesetting the battery string on the glass, and an XY driving module 42 for driving the handling and typesetting robot 41 to move in the XY directions. The handling and typesetting robot 41 can move from one side of the glass to the other side in the X direction to complete the typesetting operation of all the battery strings on the glass. Generally, at least two columns of battery strings are typeset on the glass. Therefore, the handling and typesetting robot 41 can move from one side of the glass to the other side in the X direction to complete the typesetting of at least two columns of battery strings on the glass. In order to improve the typesetting efficiency, two handling and typesetting robots 41 are provided, and the two handling and typesetting robots 41 are respectively located on both sides of the glass and respectively complete the typesetting operations of two columns of battery strings on the glass. After two handling and typesetting robots 41 are provided, even if one of the handling and typesetting robots 41 is damaged, the handling and typesetting robot 41 on the other side can still complete the typesetting operation on that side. Therefore, one handling and typesetting robot 41 can also complete the normal typesetting operation.

[0045] The XY driving module 42 includes a first linear motor 421 spanning above the typesetting station 62 and driving the handling and typesetting robot 41 to move in the X direction, and two second linear motors 422 disposed at both ends of the first linear motor 421 and driving the first linear motor to move in the Y direction.

[0046] The first linear motor 421 is a double-rotor linear motor and can separately drive the two handling and typesetting robots 41 to move in the X direction. If one of the string discharging machines (not shown in the figure) is damaged and does not discharge strings, the handling and typesetting robot 41 on the other side can move to the typesetting position on that side for typesetting operations. Moreover, since at least two receiving and conveying devices 3 are provided on the other side of the string discharging machine to convey the battery strings, it can meet the handling rhythm of the handling and typesetting robot 41 and will not reduce the typesetting efficiency. Therefore, even if one of the string discharging machines is damaged, the normal typesetting efficiency can still be ensured.

[0047] The handling and typesetting manipulator 41 includes a second driving member 411, a support plate 412 driven by the second driving member 411 to move in the Z direction, a third driving member 413 fixed on the support plate 412, a mounting bracket 414 driven by the third driving member 413 to rotate, and a plurality of suction cups 415 disposed below the mounting bracket 414 and used to suck the battery string.

[0048] In order to accurately position the typesetting of the battery string, a visual detection module 5 for photographing and positioning the battery string is provided beside the receiving and conveying device 3. A plurality of second cameras 51 are provided on the visual detection module 5. When the handling and typesetting device 4 transports the battery string from the receiving and conveying device 3, the visual detection module 5 photographs the two corners of the battery string and then performs positioning to determine its typesetting position.

[0049] When applying the photovoltaic module high-efficiency typesetting machine 100 provided by this solution, the glass on the glass conveying line 1 enters the typesetting station 62 from the conveying station 61. The first air cylinder 211 of the blocking assembly 21 extends upward to make the blocking wheel 212 block the glass from continuing to be conveyed forward. The first alignment assembly 22 and the second alignment assembly 23 align the other three sides of the glass to complete the alignment of the four sides of the glass. At the same time, the string welding machines on both sides of the glass conveying line 1 convey the battery strings to the corresponding receiving and conveying devices 3. Each string welding machine conveys the battery strings to the two corresponding receiving and conveying devices 3 at the same time. During the process of the receiving and conveying device 3 conveying the battery strings, the detection mechanism 32 completes the quality inspection of the leads at the ends of the battery strings. Driven by the XY driving module 42, the handling and typesetting manipulator 41 sucks the battery strings from the corresponding receiving and conveying devices 3 respectively. During the handling process, the visual detection module 5 photographs the two corners of the battery string and then performs positioning to determine its typesetting position. Then the handling and typesetting manipulator 41 transports the battery string to the typesetting station 62 for typesetting operations; even if one of the handling and typesetting manipulators 41 is damaged, the handling and typesetting manipulator 41 on the other side can complete the typesetting operation on that side, and the normal typesetting efficiency can be guaranteed; if one of the string discharging machines is damaged and does not discharge strings, the handling and typesetting manipulator 41 on the other side can move to the typesetting position on that side for typesetting operations. Moreover, since at least two receiving and conveying devices 3 are provided on the string discharging machine on the other side to convey the battery strings, the handling rhythm of the handling and typesetting manipulator 41 can be satisfied and the typesetting efficiency will not be reduced. Therefore, even if one of the string discharging machines is damaged, the normal typesetting efficiency can still be guaranteed.

[0050] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
