Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic modules, and particularly relates to an intelligent delivery mechanism for torque tubes. Background Art

[0002] The installation process of photovoltaic modules is highly repetitive and cumbersome. Due to the large actual size of photovoltaic modules, a large amount of manpower cooperation is required to complete the installation. Specifically, in the installation steps of photovoltaic modules, the torque tubes need to be disassembled and laid flat one by one, and the single torque tubes are transported to the back of a group of arranged photovoltaic modules for the installation of the torque tubes and the photovoltaic modules.

[0003] In this process, the delivery of torque tubes is mostly carried out manually. Due to the large length of the torque tubes, at least two operators are required to complete this delivery step. In actual operation, if two operators are separately equipped, it will cause unnecessary waiting time for the two operators during the locking of the torque tubes, increasing the labor cost; if two operators are not equipped, the person responsible for screwing the torque tubes needs to additionally perform the handling operation of the torque tubes, then the delivery operation of the torque tubes affects the subsequent locking operation of the torque tubes, reducing the installation efficiency of the entire photovoltaic module.

Two engaging members 33, the output end of the second drive unit 31 is hinged with the first engaging member 32, and the output end of the second drive unit 31 is transmission connected with the second engaging member 33, the first engaging member 32 is used to rotate relative to the second support rod 12 under the drive of the second drive unit 31 to move the torque tube 5 to move the single torque tube 5 to the second engaging member 33, and the second engaging member 33 is used to move upward in the vertical direction under the drive of the second drive unit 31 to receive the torque tube 5; the conveying assembly 4 is arranged on the second support rod 12, the conveying assembly 4 includes a plurality of V-shaped rotating wheels 42 and a third drive unit 41, the third drive unit 41 is transmission connected with the V-shaped rotating wheel 42, the plurality of V-shaped rotating wheels 42 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second support rod 12, the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 is used to receive the torque tube 5 on the second engaging member 33, and the third drive unit 41 is used to drive the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 to rotate to move the torque tube 5 along its axial direction.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first frame 1 can be formed by welding square tubes. Preferably, the structure of the first frame 1 is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 For the convenience of description, the two rods on the first frame 1 as the main connecting structure are recorded as the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, wherein the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 are arranged opposite to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the rectangular parallelepiped frame shown, the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 are two long edges at the top of the rectangular parallelepiped.

[0065] The first feeding assembly 2 includes a first driving unit 22 and a second frame 21, wherein the first driving unit 22 and the second driving unit 31 described below can both be hydraulic cylinders with telescopic functions. The third driving unit 41 can be a servo motor. The second frame 21 includes a third support rod 211 and a fourth support rod, wherein the third support rod 211 and the first support rod 11 are arranged on the same side, and the fourth support rod and the second support rod 12 are arranged on the same side. It should be noted that the two ends of the fourth support rod are respectively hinged to the two ends of the second support rod 12, and the third support rod 211 is transmission-connected to the output end of the first driving unit 22, so that the third support rod 211 can rotate around the central axis of the fourth support rod under the drive of the first driving unit 22 to achieve the following. Figure 3 In this state, after being laid flat, the multiple torque tubes 5 above the second frame 21 will move toward the direction of the fourth support rod under the inertia of their own weight. When the torque tube 5 closest to the fourth support rod is moved by the second feeding assembly 3 and falls into the second engaging member 33, the remaining torque tubes 5 arranged behind the torque tube 5 will automatically move toward the direction of the fourth support rod under the action of their own weight, so as to realize the automatic filling of the torque tubes 5 in this direction, and facilitate the second feeding assembly 3 to perform the moving operation of the next torque tube 5.

[0066] It should be noted that the third support rod 211 can be hinged to the output end of the first drive unit 22 in the area where the midpoint of the third support rod 211 is located, so that equal force can be applied to both sides of the third support rod 211, making it easier for the torque tube 5 to tilt when moving on the second frame 21.

[0067] For further information, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second frame 21 also includes a first extension rod 212 and a second extension rod 213, the first extension rod 212 and the second extension rod 213 are arranged opposite to each other, the third support rod 211 and the fourth support rod are both arranged between the first extension rod 212 and the second extension rod 213, the first feeding assembly 2 also includes a first limit bar 214 and a second limit bar 215, the first limit bar 214 is arranged at one end of the first extension rod 212 close to the third support rod 211; the second limit bar 215 is arranged at one end of the second extension rod 213 close to the third support rod 211, and the first limit bar 214 and the second limit bar 215 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second frame 21 further includes a first extension rod 212 and a second extension rod 213. The first extension rod 212, the second extension rod 213, the third support rod 211 and the fourth support rod enclose a rectangular frame structure. The first extension rod 212 and the second extension rod 213 protrude from the side where the third support rod 211 is located. This way can increase the number of torque tubes 5 that the second frame 21 can hold. At the end of the first extension rod 212 extending outwards, there is a first limit strip 214, and at the end of the second extension rod 213 extending outwards, there is a second limit strip 215. The first limit strip 214 is perpendicular to the first extension rod 212, and the second limit strip 215 is perpendicular to the second extension rod 213. Moreover, the heights of the first limit strip 214 and the second limit strip 215 are preferably higher than the diameter of the torque tube 5, so as to prevent the torque tube 5 from slipping off from the side where the third support rod 211 is located during delivery, causing damage, and at the same time, it can also improve the safety performance of the entire delivery mechanism.

[0069] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the second frame 21 further includes a plurality of first support beams 216 and a plurality of second support beams 217. The plurality of first support beams 216 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the third support rod 211 between the first extension rod 212 and the second extension rod 213, and the first support beams 216 are parallel to the first extension rod 212; the plurality of second support beams 217 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the first extension rod 212 between the third support rod 211 and the fourth support rod, and the second support beams 217 are parallel to the third support rod 211.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first support beams 216 and the second support beams 217 can use angle steel materials, or square tubes and rectangular tube materials. The numbers of the first support beams 216 and the second support beams 217 can be set according to actual needs. The settings of the first support beams 216 and the second support beams 217 can improve the supporting force and bearing capacity of the second frame 21, making the bearing capacity of the entire second bracket higher and improving the supporting stability of the delivery mechanism.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first feeding assembly 2 further includes a first receiving shaft, a second receiving shaft and a plurality of third receiving shafts. The first receiving shaft is laid above the first extension rod 212; the second receiving shaft is laid above the second extension rod 213; each third receiving shaft is laid above a first support beam 216.

[0072] The first receiving shaft can be integrally formed with the first limiting strip 214, and the second receiving shaft can be integrally formed with the second limiting strip 215. For example, the first receiving shaft, the second receiving shaft, the first limiting strip 214, and the second limiting strip 215 can use a seamless circular tube structure. The first receiving shaft and the first limiting strip 214 are welded to form an L-shaped structure, and the second receiving shaft and the second limiting strip 215 are welded to form an L-shaped structure, which can simplify the installation method of the first limiting strip 214 and the second limiting strip 215.

[0073] The first receiving shaft, the second receiving shaft, and the third receiving shaft can be made of the same material. During use, a torque tube 5 is placed above the first receiving shaft, the second receiving shaft, and the third receiving shaft. That is, the outer surface of the torque tube 5 is in contact with the outer surfaces of the first receiving shaft, the second receiving shaft, and the third receiving shaft. As an optional embodiment, a soft film can be coated on the outer surfaces of the first receiving shaft, the second receiving shaft, and the third receiving shaft to prevent the outer surface of the torque tube 5 from being scratched during the sliding process.

[0074] In this embodiment, a second feeding component 3 is further provided. The number of the second feeding components 3 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the second support rod 12. The second feeding component 3 includes a second driving unit 31, a first engaging member 32, and a second engaging member 33. It should be noted that the first engaging member 32 and the second engaging member 33 are controlled in a linkage manner. Among them, the first engaging member 32 is hinged to the output end of the second driving unit 31, and the first engaging member 32 can rotate under the drive of the second driving unit 31. The second engaging member 33 is connected to the output end of the second driving unit 31, and the second engaging member 33 can reciprocate vertically under the drive of the second driving unit 31.

[0075] It should be noted that when the second driving unit 31 moves upward, the first engaging member 32 and the second engaging member 33 can achieve the Figure 5 position relationship as shown. Then, the torque tube 5 toggled by the first engaging member 32 can slide into the second engaging member 33 under inertia and then enter the conveying component 4 through the second engaging member 33.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 . In some embodiments, the second feeding component 3 further includes a first fixing plate 34 and a first guiding shaft 35. The first fixing plate 34 is arranged at the end of the second support rod 12. The first fixing plate 34 is provided with a first guiding groove 341, and the first guiding groove 341 is arranged at a certain angle with the vertical direction. The second driving unit 31 is arranged on the first fixing plate 34; the first guiding shaft 35 is arranged on the first engaging member 32, and the first guiding shaft 35 is placed in the first guiding groove 341 and can move relative to the first guiding groove 341.

[0077] The first guiding shaft 35 and the first engaging member 32 are also in a hinged relationship. The first guiding shaft 35 is in a sliding connection with the first guiding groove 341. The first guiding groove 341 is arranged on the first fixing plate 34. A second driving unit 31 is provided on the first fixing plate 34. Then, the second driving unit 31, the first guiding groove 341, the first guiding shaft 35, and the first engaging member 32 form a linkage mechanism. By the reciprocating telescoping of the second driving unit 31, the rotation of the first engaging member 32 can be realized.

[0078] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, a first tip 321 is provided on the first engaging member 32 and is arranged on the side of the first engaging groove close to the first support rod 11. The first tip 321 is used to toggle the torque tube 5.

[0079] That is, when the first tip 321 moves downward under the drive of the second driving unit 31, it can rotate to reach the height flush with the fourth support rod. Then, the torque tube 5 on the second frame 21 automatically moves above the first engaging member 32 under the action of inertia. At this time, the first tip 321 is placed in the gap between two adjacent torque tubes 5. When the second driving unit 31 drives the first tip 321 to move upward, the first tip 321 intervenes between two adjacent torque tubes 5 and lifts the torque tube 5 placed inside the first tip 321 upward. As the first engaging member 32 moves upward, the first engaging member 32 gradually rotates toward the second engaging member 33, forming a state as shown in Figure 5 . At this time, the torque tube 5 on the first engaging member 32 slides onto the second engaging member 33 under the action of inertia. Then, control the second driving unit 31 to drive the second engaging member 33 to move downward, and the first engaging member 32 also resets during the downward movement. When the second engaging member 33 moves below the V-shaped rotating wheel 42, the torque tube 5 abuts against the V-shaped rotating wheel 42, and control the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 to rotate, that is, to realize the feeding operation of the torque tube 5 along its axis, meeting the actual use requirements.

[0080] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly 4 includes a third driving unit 41 and a V-shaped rotating wheel 42. The number of V-shaped rotating wheels 42 can be set according to actual needs. A coating for increasing friction can be coated on the inner side of the V-shaped rotating wheel 42. When the torque tube 5 is placed in the V-shaped rotating wheel 42, the friction can drive the torque tube 5 to move along its axis.

[0081] In this embodiment, by controlling the rotation of the second frame 21 relative to the first frame 1, the torque tube 5 laid flat on the second frame 21 is inclined towards the side where the second support rod 12 is located under the action of gravity. The second feeding component 3 controls the first engaging member 32 to toggle the torque tube 5 closest to the first engaging member 32 so that it enters the second engaging member 33 from the first engaging member 32. The second engaging member 33 is placed in the area where the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 is located. Then, the torque tube 5 on the second engaging member 33 abuts against the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 after the second engaging member 33 descends. The V-shaped rotating wheel 42 delivers a single torque tube 5 through the third driving unit 41, saving manpower.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the second feeding component 3 further includes a first adapter plate 36. One end of the first adapter plate 36 is connected to the output end of the second driving unit 31, and the other end of the first adapter plate 36 is hinged to the first engaging member 32. The first adapter plate 36 has a first relief groove, and the first engaging member 32 is placed in the first relief groove. The first engaging member 32 can rotate relative to the first adapter plate 36 within the first relief groove, and a second engaging member 33 is provided on one side of the first adapter plate 36.

The first engaging member 32 can rotate relative to the first adapter plate 36, and the bottom of the first adapter plate 36 is connected to the output end of the second driving unit 31. By setting the first adapter plate 36 in this embodiment, the linkage connection between the first engaging member 32, the second engaging member 33 and the second driving unit 31 can be realized to achieve the single-piece sorting operation of the torque tube 5.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first engaging member 32 has a first engaging groove for engaging a single torque tube 5; the second engaging member 33 has a second engaging groove for engaging a single torque tube 5. In this embodiment, the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove can be V-shaped structures, which can stably engage the torque tube 5 and prevent the torque tube 5 from rotating. When the second driving unit 31 is lifted to a certain height, the sides of the first engaging groove and the second engaging groove are in contact, and then the torque tube 5 can slide from the first engaging groove into the second engaging groove, thus completing the sorting operation of the torque tube 5 and reaching the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 through the second engaging groove. The structure shown in this embodiment realizes the single-piece sorting operation of the torque tube 5, reduces the manufacturing cost of the entire device, and improves the delivery efficiency of the torque tube 5.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 4 includes a first chain group 43, a first transfer shaft, a second chain group 44, and a plurality of second transfer shafts; the first chain group 43 is arranged on the second support rod 12 in the vertical direction, the first chain group 43 includes a first chain, a first driven wheel, and a first driving wheel, the output end of the third driving unit 41 is sleeved with the first driving wheel, and the first chain is sleeved around the first driven wheel and the first driving wheel; the first transfer shaft is movably arranged on the second support rod 12, and the first driven wheel is sleeved around the first transfer shaft; the second chain group 44 is arranged on the second support rod 12 in the horizontal direction, the second chain group 44 includes a second chain, a second driving wheel, and a plurality of second driven wheels, the second driving wheel is sleeved on the first transfer shaft, and the second chain is sleeved around the second driven wheels and the second driving wheel; each second transfer shaft is in transmission connection with a V-shaped rotating wheel 42, and each second transfer shaft is sleeved with a second driven wheel.

[0086] In this embodiment, the conveying assembly 4 includes a first chain group 43, a first transfer shaft, a second chain group 44, and a second transfer shaft. Among them, the number of second transfer shafts is equal to the number of V-shaped rotating wheels 42, and one V-shaped rotating wheel 42 is sleeved on one second transfer shaft. The first chain group 43 extends in the vertical direction, and the first chain group 43 is in transmission connection with the second chain group 44 through the first transfer shaft, and the second chain group 44 is connected to a plurality of V-shaped rotating wheels 42. By setting the first chain group 43 and the second chain group 44 in this embodiment, the connection between one third driving unit 41 and a plurality of V-shaped rotating wheels 42 is realized, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the conveying assembly 4 further includes a third engaging member 45. The third engaging member 45 is arranged at the end of the second support rod 12 and is adjacent to the second engaging member 33. The third engaging member 45 has a third engaging groove for engaging the torque tube 5, and the projection of the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 in the horizontal direction is located within the area of the third engaging groove.

[0088] In this embodiment, the third engaging member 45 can be a V-shaped plate member. As Figure 2 shown, a buffer material such as polyurethane can be arranged on the inner side of the third engaging member 45. The second engaging groove and the third engaging groove are in an overlapping state when the second driving unit 31 moves to a certain height. When the second engaging groove continues to descend, the torque tube 5 abuts against the third engaging groove and does not follow the second engaging member 33 to descend, so as to realize the movement of the torque tube 5 from the second engaging member 33 to the third engaging member 45. The third engaging member 45 and the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 are arranged on the same horizontal plane. After the torque tube 5 abuts against the third engaging groove, the V-shaped rotating wheel 42 rotates to move the torque tube 5 out of the third engaging member 45 for the delivery of the torque tube 5.

[0089] In the above technical solution, the intelligent torque tube delivery mechanism includes a first frame 1, a first feeding component 2, a second feeding component 3, and a conveying component 4; the first frame 1 includes a first support rod 11 and a second support rod 12, the first feeding component 2 includes a first driving unit 22 and a second frame 21, the number of the second feeding components 3 is two, which are oppositely arranged at the ends of the second support rod 12, each second feeding component 3 includes a second driving unit 31, a first engaging member 32, and a second engaging member 33, the conveying component 4 is arranged on the second support rod 12, and the conveying component 4 includes a plurality of V-shaped rotating wheels 42 and a third driving unit 41. During use, by controlling the rotation of the second frame 21 relative to the first frame 1, the torque tube 5 laid flat on the second frame 21 is inclined towards the side where the second support rod 12 is located under the action of gravity. The second feeding component 3 controls the first engaging member 32 to dial the torque tube 5 closest to the first engaging member 32 so that it enters the second engaging member 33 from the first engaging member 32. The second engaging member 33 is placed in the area where the V-shaped rotating wheels 42 are located. Then, the torque tube 5 on the second engaging member 33 abuts against the V-shaped rotating wheels 42 after the second engaging member 33 descends. The V-shaped rotating wheels 42 deliver a single torque tube 5 through the third driving unit 41, saving manpower.
