Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic backplane recycling, in particular to a device for photovoltaic backplane recycling. Background Technique

[0002] The solar backplane is located on the back of the solar panel, playing a role in protecting and supporting the battery cells, and having reliable insulation, water resistance, and aging resistance. The initial solar backplane has a three-layer structure (PVDF / PET / PVDF). The outer protective layer PVDF has good environmental erosion resistance, the middle layer is a PET polyester film with good insulation performance, and the inner layer PVDF and EVA have good bonding performance. Later, in order to reduce costs and consider environmental protection, some backplane structures without fluorine appeared, such as the APE structure backplane.

[0003] For example, a device for photovoltaic panel backplane recycling disclosed in Chinese patent literature (Publication No.: CN221017963U). This patent includes a conveying mechanism for conveying photovoltaic panels. The conveying mechanism includes a first conveying component, a second conveying component, and a third conveying component arranged in sequence. The second conveying component can be lifted; a heating mechanism; a pressing and driving mechanism; a cutting mechanism arranged above the second conveying component for cutting the backplane of the photovoltaic panel; a collecting mechanism including a first collector. The first collector is arranged below the conveying end of the second conveying component, and the first collector is open on one side close to the second conveying component for collecting the cut backplane. The utility model softens the EVA material connecting the backplane and the battery cells by heating, then cuts the backplane with a cutter, and then conveys the cut backplane to the first collector by lowering the height of the second conveying component. There is no need to grind the backplane, no dust will be generated, which is convenient for reducing environmental pollution and the impact on staff.

[0004] However, the above solution still has the following problems when implemented:

[0005] Before the backplane of the photovoltaic panel is cut, there is a lack of a stress relief mechanism, which may cause the pressing and driving mechanism to crush the glass plate of the photovoltaic panel during operation. During the crushing process, the photovoltaic panel will surely vibrate, and the device cuts it during the pressing process, which will cause displacement during cutting due to the vibration generated by the glass explosion. Since the part of the backplane to be cut is relatively thin, there may be phenomena such as cutting fracture and deviation, resulting in incomplete cutting separation, affecting recycling. At the same time, although the device uses a heating mechanism to soften it in advance, after the softening is completed, it still needs to displace for a long time, which will cause the subsequent photovoltaic backplane to cool, thereby affecting cutting, resulting in difficult cutting or cutting adhesion. Therefore, we propose a device for photovoltaic backplane recycling. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the deficiencies existing in the prior art. Before the backplane of the photovoltaic panel is cut, there is a lack of a stress relief mechanism, which may cause the pressing drive mechanism to crush the glass plate of the photovoltaic panel during operation. During the crushing process, the photovoltaic panel will surely vibrate, and the device cuts it during the pressing process, which will cause displacement during cutting due to the vibration generated by the glass bursting. Since the part of the backplane to be cut is relatively thin, there may be phenomena such as cutting fracture and deviation, resulting in incomplete cutting separation and affecting recycling.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a technical solution: a device for recycling photovoltaic backsheets, including a transmission platform 1. A stress relief mechanism 2 is provided at the top of the transmission platform 1 and near the left side. The stress relief mechanism 2 can crush and relieve stress on the photovoltaic backsheet. After stress relief, it will be further processed by a heating component 3 and a conveying component 4 located on the right side of the stress relief mechanism 2. After the processing is completed, it will be subjected to thermal cutting treatment by a thermal cutting mechanism 5 on the right side of the conveying component 4. And during the thermal cutting process, an attracting mechanism 6 located at the connection of the thermal cutting mechanism 5 will also collect the waste gas generated during thermal cutting and send it to a purifier for centralized treatment. Through the design of the stress relief mechanism 2 and the thermal cutting mechanism 5, the stress relief mechanism 2 can remove the prestress before processing the photovoltaic panel, can eliminate the internal stress of the photovoltaic panel in advance, reduce the risk of sudden glass breakage during cutting, ensure operation safety, and at the same time help improve the cutting accuracy and quality, make the subsequent separation and recycling process smoother, and improve the overall recycling efficiency and material integrity. The thermal cutting mechanism 5 has obvious advantages in cutting the backsheet of the photovoltaic panel. It can achieve high-precision cutting, ensure smooth and neat edges, improve the cutting quality, can operate quickly and efficiently, adapt to the material characteristics of the backsheet of the photovoltaic panel, non-contact cutting avoids material deformation, can also process complex shapes, reduce material waste, and improve the recycling efficiency and benefits.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] As Figures 1-5 shown in the figure, the utility model provides a technical solution: the stress relief mechanism 2 includes a first mounting frame 21. Two hydraulic push rods 22 are provided at the top of the first mounting frame 21. The bottoms of the two hydraulic push rods 22 are fixedly connected to a rolling platform 25. A plurality of rolling teeth 26 are provided at the bottom of the rolling platform 25. The photovoltaic backsheet will be placed on the transmission platform 1. At this time, the stress relief mechanism 2 will start to work, and the hydraulic push rods 22 will drive the rolling platform 25 to displace.

[0031] Two sliding grooves 23 are respectively opened on both inner side walls of the first mounting frame 21. Two sliding blocks 24 are respectively slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves 23. The four sliding blocks 24 are all fixed to the rolling platform 25. The rolling platform 25 will slide on the sliding grooves 23 through the sliding blocks 24, and thus is more stable during the downward movement. During the downward pressing process, the rolling teeth 26 will squeeze the photovoltaic backsheet, and thus the stress inside the photovoltaic backsheet can be released.

[0032] The hot cutting mechanism 5 includes a second mounting bracket 51. An installation frame 52 is provided on the right side wall of the second mounting bracket 51 near the top. A driving motor 53 is connected to the right side wall of the installation frame 52. A lead screw 54 is provided at the output end of the driving motor 53. A slider 55 is provided on the lead screw 54. The driving motor 53 will start and drive the lead screw 54 to rotate, so that the slider 55 can drive the connecting plate 56 to displace, and then drive the cutting knife 57 to move. While the cutting knife 57 is moving, the connecting plate 56 at the other end will slide on the auxiliary limit chute 510 synchronously.

[0033] The hot cutting mechanism 5 further includes a cutting knife 57. Connecting plates 56 are provided on both the front and back sides of the cutting knife 57. The connecting plate 56 near the back side is connected to the slider 55, and the connecting plate 56 near the front side is connected to the auxiliary limit chute 510 on the front side inside the second mounting bracket 51.

[0034] A power supply platform 58 is further provided on the top of the second mounting bracket 51. A connecting wire 59 is provided at the output end of the power supply platform 58. The connecting wire 59 is connected to the cutting knife 57. The power supply platform 58 will energize the cutting knife 57 through the connecting wire 59, and then the cutting knife 57 can be heated.

[0035] The suction mechanism 6 includes an installation housing 61 and a connecting pipe 65. An air pump 62 is provided inside the installation housing 61. Suction pipes 63 are provided on both the front and back sides of the connecting pipe 65. A number of suction ports 64 are opened on both suction pipes 63. The suction pipe 63 near the back side is connected to the air pump 62. The air pump 62 will work, adsorb the waste gas through the suction ports 64, and adsorb it to the air pump 62 through the suction pipes 63 and the connecting pipe 65. The other end of the air pump 62 is connected to a purification device (since the purification device is a mature technology in the prior art, it is not shown in the figure), and then the waste gas can be transported to the purification device to complete the purification work.

[0036] Working process of the utility model: When using a device for recycling photovoltaic backsheets, first, the photovoltaic backsheet is placed on the transfer platform 1. At this time, the stress relief mechanism 2 starts to work. The hydraulic push rod 22 drives the rolling platform 25 to move. The rolling platform 25 slides on the sliding groove 23 through the sliding block 24, and thus is more stable during the downward movement. During the downward pressing process, the rolling teeth 26 squeeze the photovoltaic backsheet, thereby releasing the stress inside the photovoltaic backsheet. After this operation process is completed, it will go through the same heating component 3 and conveying component 4 processes as in the comparative document, and finally reach the thermal cutting mechanism 5. First, the power supply platform 58 energizes the cutting knife 57 through the connecting wire 59, and then the cutting knife 57 can be heated. After the heating is completed, the driving motor 53 starts and drives the lead screw 54 to rotate, so that the slider 55 drives the connecting plate 56 to move, and then drives the cutting knife 57 to move. While the cutting knife 57 is moving, the connecting plate 56 at the other end slides synchronously on the auxiliary limiting sliding groove 510, and then the photovoltaic backsheet can be thermally cut. It is used in cooperation with the conveying component 4. Through the conveying and pressing of the transfer platform 1 and the advancement of the thermal cutting mechanism 5, the opposite operation can make the cutting faster and more stable, and improve the cutting efficiency. While thermally cutting, the suction mechanism 6 also starts synchronously. The air pump 62 works, adsorbs the waste gas through the suction port 64, and adsorbs it to the air pump 62 through the suction pipe 63 and the connecting pipe 65. The other end of the air pump 62 is connected to a purification device (since the purification device is a mature technology in the prior art, it is not shown in the figure), and then the waste gas can be transported to the purification device to complete the purification work.
