During these operations, suction cups, as key tools for adsorbing photovoltaic panels for easy operation, are widely used.
[0003] However, most of the existing photovoltaic panel suction cups have the problem of relatively fixed structures and are difficult to adapt to photovoltaic panels of different sizes and different surface conditions:
[0004] Specifically, when there is a certain curvature or unevenness on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, ordinary suction cups are difficult to closely fit because they cannot flexibly adjust the fitting angle and pressure between themselves and the panel surface, resulting in insufficient adsorption force. During handling, this defect may cause the photovoltaic panel to fall, which will not only cause equipment damage but also pose a safety hazard of causing personal injury. In addition, for photovoltaic panels of different thicknesses, traditional suction cups lack an effective adjustment mechanism and are difficult to make adaptive adjustments according to the thickness of the photovoltaic panel, greatly limiting their scope of use.

Detailed implementation manners
[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] To further understand the content of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an adaptive adjustment photovoltaic panel suction cup of the present utility model includes a top frame 1, a telescopic rod 2, a cross frame 3, a longitudinal frame 4 and a suction cup main body 5. Telescopic rods 2 are installed at the four corner positions of the top of the top frame 1. Cross frames 3 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the top frame 1. The output end of the bottom of the telescopic rod 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the cross frame 3. Longitudinal frames 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cross frame 3. A transverse movement assembly is provided between the cross frame 3 and the longitudinal frame 4. The suction cup main body 5 is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal frame 4. A longitudinal movement assembly and a connection assembly are provided between the longitudinal frame 4 and the suction cup main body 5.
[0028] The transverse movement component includes transverse sliding grooves 32 formed on both side walls of the transverse frame 3. On both sides of the bottom of the transverse frame 3, there are transverse sliding blocks 31. The transverse sliding blocks 31 are slidably arranged at the bottom of the transverse frame 3 through the transverse sliding grooves 32. The bottom of the transverse sliding blocks 31 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal frame 4.
[0029] The longitudinal movement component includes longitudinal sliding grooves 42 formed on both side walls of the longitudinal frame 4. At the bottom of the longitudinal frame 4, there are longitudinal sliding blocks 41. The longitudinal sliding blocks 41 are slidably arranged at the bottom of the longitudinal frame 4 through the longitudinal sliding grooves 42.
[0030] The connection component includes a first hinge block 6 arranged at the middle position of the top of the suction cup body 5. On both sides of the first hinge block 6, there are first connection blocks 61. At the top of the first connection blocks 61, there are fixed second connection blocks 62. At both ends of the second connection blocks 62, there are second hinge blocks 63. The top of the second hinge blocks 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the longitudinal sliding blocks 41.
[0031] The inside of the first hinge block 6 and the second hinge block 63 is provided with a hinge groove 64. Inside the hinge groove 64, there is a hinge shaft 66 rotatably arranged. The hinge shaft 66 is respectively fixed between the first connection block 61 and the second connection block 62. Inside the hinge groove 64, there is an inner groove 65. Inside the inner groove 65, there is a torsion spring 67.
[0032] The torsion spring 67 is wound around the outside of the hinge shaft 66. The inner side of the torsion spring 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hinge shaft 66. The outer side of the torsion spring 67 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner groove 65.
[0033] The projection planes of the hinge shafts 66 fixed between the first connection blocks 61 and the hinge shafts 66 between the second connection blocks 62 are designed in a cross shape.
[0034] Specifically, a pressure sensor is arranged at the top of the suction cup body 5. The pressure sensor is connected to an external controller. When the suction cup body 5 adsorbs the photovoltaic panel, the pressure sensor can monitor the magnitude of the adsorption force in real time and transmit the data to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the telescopic rod 2 according to the preset pressure value to ensure that the adsorption force is always within an appropriate range;
[0035] If the adsorption force is less than the preset value, the controller will control the telescopic rod 2 to shorten further, so that the suction cup body 5 fits more closely to the photovoltaic panel to increase the adsorption force; if the adsorption force is greater than the preset value, the controller will control the telescopic rod 2 to extend appropriately to avoid damage to the photovoltaic panel caused by excessive adsorption force.
[0036] An elastic sealing ring is arranged at the edge of the adsorption surface of the suction cup body 5. The elastic sealing ring can better fill the gap between the suction cup body 5 and the surface of the photovoltaic panel, enhance the adsorption tightness, further improve the adsorption force, and reduce the risk of the photovoltaic panel falling during handling.
[0037] Furthermore, the top frame 1 is fixedly connected to the robotic arm to complete the installation of the suction cup mechanism.
[0038] The robotic arm is used to move the top frame 1 to move the suction cup body 5 to the position of the photovoltaic panel. The telescopic rod 2 is used to push down the cross frame 3 to make the suction cup body 5 approach the photovoltaic panel. After the suction cup body 5 contacts the surface of the photovoltaic panel, a vacuum pumping device is used to evacuate the suction cup body 5 to generate negative pressure to adsorb the photovoltaic panel. Subsequently, the robotic arm drives the top frame 1 to move the photovoltaic panel to the required position, and the transfer of the photovoltaic panel can be completed.
[0039] Among them, according to the different sizes of the photovoltaic panels, the position of the suction cup body 5 can be adjusted to ensure that multiple suction cup bodies 5 can accurately contact and adsorb the photovoltaic panel, ensuring the accuracy of adsorption; the transverse slider 31 is used to drive the longitudinal frame 4 to move horizontally at the bottom of the cross frame 3, and the horizontal position of the suction cup body 5 can be adjusted;
[0040] The longitudinal slider 41 is used to drive the suction cup body 5 to move longitudinally at the bottom of the longitudinal frame 4, and the longitudinal position of the suction cup body 5 can be adjusted; the adjustment of the horizontal and longitudinal positions of the suction cup body 5 ensures that the suction cup mechanism is applicable to the adsorption work of photovoltaic panels of different sizes and has better applicability.
[0041] Furthermore, in order to cope with the possible arc surface or irregular shape on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the suction cup mechanism is designed with a multi-angle tilting function. The hinge block one 6 and the connection block one 61 are hinged through the hinge shaft 66. This hinged method enables the suction cup body 5 to swing back and forth with the hinge shaft 66 as the axis; the connection block two 62 and the hinge block two 63 are also hinged through the hinge shaft 66, so that the suction cup body 5 can swing left and right with this axis. The hinge block one 6, the connection block one 61, the connection block two 62 and the hinge block two 63 cooperate with each other to endow the suction cup body 5 with the ability of multi-angle tilting.
[0042] When the suction cup body 5 contacts the photovoltaic panel with an arc surface, under the action of the pressure on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, the suction cup body 5 can quickly and naturally tilt following the slope of the photovoltaic panel. This adaptive tilt adjustment can ensure that the suction cup body 5 is in close contact with the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thus ensuring the adsorption effect of the suction cup body 5 and enabling the adsorption task to be completed even for photovoltaic panels with complex shapes.
[0043] It is worth mentioning that, as Figure 5As shown, when no external force acts on the suction cup main body 5, it is in a default state of vertically downward, which is set as the initial position. During the process of the suction cup main body 5 tilting under the action of the photovoltaic panel, whether the first hinge block 6 rotates outside the hinge shaft 66 through the hinge groove 64, or the second connecting block 62 rotates in the hinge groove 64 of the second hinge block 63 through the hinge shaft 66, it will drive the torsion spring 67 to undergo torsional deformation. After the suction cup main body 5 completes the release action of the photovoltaic panel, the torsion spring 67 can quickly drive the first hinge block 6, the first connecting block 61, the second connecting block 62 and the second hinge block 63 to reset by virtue of its own torsion force, so that the suction cup main body 5 quickly returns to the initial position as shown in Figure 5 to prepare for the next adsorption work. This ingenious design not only ensures the flexibility and adaptability of the suction cup main body 5 during the working process, but also ensures that it can quickly reset after each work is completed, maintaining the stable operation and efficient operation of the mechanism.
