Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar photovoltaic modules, in particular to a tape flattening rubber head for solar modules. Background Art

[0002] A tape flattening rubber head is a supporting device for pasting and flattening tapes on solar photovoltaic modules. With the wide application of solar energy, the solar photovoltaic panel industry has also developed vigorously. Photovoltaic modules usually include glass, solar cells and backplane films. Before laminating the photovoltaic modules, high-temperature tapes are needed to fix the modules to prevent the solar cells from shifting during the lamination process. With the continuous development of technology, the manufacturing process requirements for tape flattening rubber heads are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] There are certain drawbacks in the use of existing tape pasting mechanisms. Conventional high-temperature tape pasting usually uses vacuum suction cups directly placed on the solar cells, and there is no flattening action during the pasting process. Most component factories generally use two methods of virtual pasting and real pasting for different types of tapes or components. Existing double-sided components generally lay two films. After the first film is laid, the solar cells are arranged on the film. Since the film laying is not completely flat, there may be warping or wrinkling in some places. This unevenness will affect the pasting effect of the high-temperature tape, resulting in a decrease in pasting consistency; due to the poor consistency of film flatness, it may ① introduce some trapped air bubbles that cannot be discharged after lamination; ② the wrinkles and other abnormalities after tape pasting will finally form air bubbles after lamination and cannot be discharged; ③ the tape is not firmly pasted, and the tape position may shift or the tape fixing performance may decrease during the lamination process, which brings certain adverse effects to the actual use process. Therefore, we propose a tape flattening rubber head for solar modules. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A tape flattening rubber head for solar modules includes a vacuum suction cup, a flattening rubber head assembly and a robotic arm. An elevating rod and an elevating cylinder are arranged between the vacuum suction cup and the robotic arm. The elevating rod is connected to the robotic arm, and the elevating cylinder is positioned with the vacuum suction cup. A camera mount is installed at the lower end of the robotic arm, and a CCD camera is positioned at the bottom of the camera mount. The flattening rubber head assembly is positioned at the lower end of the end of the robotic arm.

[0006] Preferably, a pressure monitor is positioned on the bottom surface of the smoothing rubber head assembly. A smoothing monitoring controller is connected to the top of the smoothing rubber head assembly. The smoothing monitoring controller is connected to the pressure monitor.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the smoothing rubber head assembly senses the pressure of the smoothing action through the pressure monitor and transmits the pressure data to the smoothing monitoring controller. The vacuum adsorber drives the vacuum adsorption holes to adsorb the internal air pressure of the vacuum suction cup.

[0009] Preferably, the output ends of the pressure sensor and the camera module are electrically connected to the input end of the central processor through the data collector.

The tape is positioned and pasted at various parts of the component designed on the drawing through the vacuum suction cup and the CCD camera. This is the first-time pasting, and the tape is quickly pasted without fixation; the robotic arm is rotated, and the smoothing rubber head is lowered.
