[0003] In the process of manufacturing a photovoltaic module, the frame loading is an important process. Since the cross-section of a photovoltaic module is mostly rectangular, correspondingly, the frame has long frames and short frames corresponding to the long sides and short sides of the photovoltaic module respectively. In the related art, generally, glue is applied to the frame first, and then the two long frames and the two short frames are respectively installed on the four sides of the photovoltaic module.

[0004] However, before assembly, the frames are generally stacked with long frames together and short frames together.

[0044] The following Figure 1-7 , further detailed description of the present application will be made in conjunction with the attached

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , a conveying device for the frame of a photovoltaic module includes a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism. A frame conveying assembly 2 is arranged on the frame 1. One side of the frame 1 is used for placing the frames to be installed, where the long frames are stacked together and the short frames are stacked together (only the stacking schematic diagram of the long frames is shown in the figure). Another side of the frame 1 is provided with a receiving rack 4, and a receiving assembly is arranged on the receiving rack 4. The frame conveying assembly 2 includes a short-frame conveying assembly 21 and a long-frame conveying assembly 22. The long-frame conveying assembly 22 is used for conveying long frames, and the short-frame conveying assembly 21 is used for conveying short frames. The conveying mechanism is arranged at the output end of the frame conveying assembly 2, and the conveying mechanism is used to convey the long frames and / or short frames on the frame conveying assembly 2 to the receiving assembly on the receiving rack 4.

[0046] Referring to Figure 3 , the frame conveying assembly 2 is vertically arranged along the Z-axis direction. The arrangement order of the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the short frame conveying assembly 21 can be that the upper two layers are the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the lower two layers are the short frame conveying assembly 21, or the upper two layers are the short frame conveying assembly 21 and the lower two layers are the long frame conveying assembly 22, or the first layer and the fourth layer are the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the middle two layers are the short frame conveying assembly 21. It can also be set with only one layer of the long frame conveying assembly 22 as required, and two or three layers of the short frame conveying assembly 21 are additionally provided. The specific setting method is not limited in this application. A blanking blocking mechanism is also provided on the frame 1.

[0047] As an implementable manner, there are four groups of the frame conveying assembly 2 from top to bottom in this application, two of which are the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the other two are the short frame conveying assembly 21. The first layer and the fourth layer are the long frame conveying assembly 22, and the middle two layers are the short frame conveying assembly 21.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the material receiving assembly includes a receiving block 5. The receiving block 5 has a first inclined surface 6 and a second inclined surface 7 for receiving the frame. Through such a setting, after the transmission mechanism conveys the frame onto the receiving block 5, the gluing surface of the frame faces upward, which is convenient for the subsequent gluing mechanism to glue the frame. And there are four groups of the receiving blocks 5 arranged along the Y-axis direction. The four groups of receiving blocks 5 respectively correspond to the four frames of the photovoltaic module. Each group of receiving blocks 5 has two, and the two receiving blocks 5 are arranged along the X-axis, that is, along the length direction of the frame. The frame conveyed by each long frame conveying assembly 22 or short frame conveying assembly 21 corresponds to one group of receiving blocks 5. In the implementation manner of this application, there are four groups of the frame conveying assembly 2, and there are also four groups of receiving blocks 5. The transmission mechanism conveys the long frame or short frame onto the corresponding receiving block 5.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5The transmission mechanism includes a material receiving block 3, a mounting plate 11 and a lifting cylinder 10. The material receiving block 3 has a third inclined surface 8 and a fourth inclined surface 9, wherein the third inclined surface 8 corresponds to the first inclined surface 6, and the fourth inclined surface 9 corresponds to the second inclined surface 7. Every two material receiving blocks 3 are mounted on a mounting plate 11. The lifting cylinder 10 is used to drive the mounting plate 11 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction, thereby driving the material receiving block 3 to move up and down. When the lifting cylinder 10 is in an extended state, the material receiving block 3 is located at the discharge end of the frame conveying assembly 2. When the lifting cylinder 10 is in a shortened state, the material receiving block 3 is located at the discharge end of the frame conveying assembly 2. When the receiving block 3 is parallel to the receiving block 5 or located below the receiving block 5, the mounting plate 11 is L-shaped, and the frame transmission components of each layer are arranged in a stepped manner along the Z-axis. Each lifting cylinder 10 corresponds to two groups of frame transmission components. Specifically, there are two groups of transmission mechanisms along the Y-axis direction, and each group of transmission mechanisms corresponds to two groups of receiving blocks 5, so that the two groups of transmission mechanisms correspond to a total of four groups of receiving blocks 5. At the same time, since the frame transmission components are arranged in a stepped manner from top to bottom, combined with the L-shaped mounting plate 11, each group of transmission mechanisms corresponds to two groups of frame transmission components.

[0050] As an implementable manner, each group of transmission mechanisms corresponds to two groups of long frame conveying components 22 .

[0051] As another practicable manner, each group of transmission mechanisms corresponds to two groups of short frame conveying components 21 .

[0052] As another practicable manner, each group of transmission mechanisms corresponds to a group of long frame conveying components 22 and a group of short frame conveying components 21 .

[0053] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The frame 1 is also provided with a blocking material unloading mechanism, which is arranged on the frame conveying assembly 2 of each layer, and is used to control each layer of frames to output only one frame at a time.

[0054] As an implementable method, the frame conveying assembly 2 includes a belt line, and the staff can manually place the long frames on the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the short frames on the short frame conveying assembly 21. They can also choose to use a robot in conjunction with a visual camera to place a group of long frames on the long frame conveying assembly 22 and the short frames on the short frame conveying assembly 21.

[0055] Specifically, refer to Figure 6, the blanking blocking mechanism includes a connecting plate 12, a first blocking cylinder 13 and a second blocking cylinder 14. The first blocking cylinder 13 and the second blocking cylinder 14 are installed on the connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 is close to the discharge end of each layer of conveying assembly. The output end of the first blocking cylinder 13 is connected with a blocking plate 23, and the output end of the second blocking cylinder 14 is connected with a blocking block 24. The first blocking cylinder 13 and the second blocking cylinder 14 are arranged side by side. The blocking plate 23 is used to block the frame close to the receiving block 3 in each row of frames, and the blocking block 24 is arranged adjacent to the blocking plate 23. The blocking block 24 is used to block the frame adjacent to the frame close to the receiving block 3.

[0056] Referring to Figure 3 , a rectifying assembly is further arranged on the frame 1. The rectifying assembly can be respectively arranged on each layer of frame conveying assembly 2 and at both ends in the length direction of the frame. The rectifying assembly includes a rectifying cylinder 15 and a rectifying plate 16. The rectifying cylinder 15 is used to drive the rectifying plate 16 to move towards or away from the frame. A support plate 17 is also arranged on the frame 1. The support plate 17 is arranged on the long frame conveying assembly 222 and is used to support the bottom of the long frame. A linear slide rail 18 is arranged on the frame 1. A connecting frame 19 is arranged on the linear slide rail 18. A limiting plate 20 is arranged on the connecting frame 19. The rectifying assembly and the blanking blocking mechanism are both arranged on the connecting frame 19. The linear slide rail 18 is used to drive the connecting frame 19 to move towards or away from the frame. When the rectifying cylinder 15, the first blocking cylinder 13 and the second blocking cylinder 14 are in the retracted state, the limiting plate 20 is closer to the frame than the rectifying plate 16, the blocking plate 23 and the blocking block 24. When the rectifying cylinder 15, the first blocking cylinder 13 and the second blocking cylinder 14 are in the extended state, the limiting plate 20 is farther from the frame than the rectifying plate 16, the blocking plate 23 and the blocking block 24. The linear slide rail 18 is used to drive the connecting frame 19 to drive the limiting plate 20, the rectifying plate 16, the blocking plate 23 and the blocking block 24 to move towards or away from the frame, so that the rectifying assembly can adapt to frames of various lengths and has more selectivity.

[0057] As an implementable way, at the beginning, the first blocking cylinder 13 is in an extended state, and the second blocking cylinder 14 is in a contracted state. The frame conveying assembly 2 transports the frames on the belt line to the position of the blocking plate 23, and then through program control or by selecting a stepper motor to control the forward transportation of the belt line, the first blocking cylinder 13 contracts. Before the frame closest to the discharge end is transported onto the receiving block 3, the second blocking cylinder 14 extends to block the subsequent frame to prevent the second frame from accidentally slipping out. Note that here it can be understood that the frame is allowed to slide in place on the belt line when it abuts against the blocking block 24. However, generally, due to the pre-set operation program of the belt or when a suitable stepper motor is selected for driving, the frame will not slide in place for a long time. After the first frame descends onto the receiving block 5 and the lifting cylinder 10 extends and returns to the discharge end of the conveying assembly again, the second blocking cylinder 14 contracts and the first blocking cylinder 13 extends. Repeat the above steps so that each layer of the frame conveying assembly 2 transports only one frame each time. The sorting of long frames and short frames is completed, and each time only a set of four frames, that is, the blanking of two long frames and two short frames, is completed, and then it enters the next gluing step, quickly sorting and blanking the frames, which improves the working efficiency.

[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
