Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laminating machines, and in particular to a silicone plate replacement tool and a laminating unit. Background Art

[0002] The primary function of a photovoltaic module laminator is to press together stacked photovoltaic modules under vacuum, high pressure, and appropriate temperature conditions. During the lamination process, the silicone sheet in the laminator acts primarily on the photovoltaic modules. However, after a certain number of uses, the silicone sheet will wear and age, requiring timely replacement to ensure the quality of the photovoltaic module production.

[0003] Currently, the laminating assembly used to press photovoltaic modules in a laminating machine is equipped with a heating plate, an upper pressing frame, and a lower pressing frame, sequentially arranged along the layer direction. The upper pressing frame is mounted on the heating plate, the lower pressing frame is mounted on the upper pressing frame, and the silicone sheet is mounted between the upper and lower pressing frames. When replacing the silicone sheet, the lower pressing frame and the old silicone sheet are first removed, and then the new silicone sheet is placed on the lower pressing frame. Because the silicone sheet is relatively soft and the silicone sheet used in the laminating machine has a large area, the industry generally performs a preliminary fastening of the upper pressing frame with the lower pressing frame containing the new silicone sheet during the silicone sheet installation process. The silicone sheet is then tensioned by hand, and finally the lower pressing frame is fully fastened to the upper pressing frame to secure the tensioned silicone sheet.

[0004] This method is difficult to operate and requires a lot of manual participation, resulting in a long replacement time for the silicone plate. Especially as today's laminators are gradually developing towards multi-layer pressure cavity stacking, this method of silicone plate replacement will cause the laminator's downtime to be significantly extended, seriously restricting the improvement of photovoltaic module production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technology that can solve at least one of the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] The clamping assembly is used to clamp the silicone plate.

[0011] Based on the aforementioned silicone plate replacement fixture, the entire silicone plate replacement fixture is installed in a predetermined position via the mounting portion, and then the silicone plate is clamped by the clamping assembly.

[0033] The adjusting rod is installed on the frame body and can move relative to the frame body. The first end of the adjusting rod is connected to the clamping assembly, and the second end of the adjusting rod is connected to the adjusting handle.

[0034] The adjusting handle is used to realize labor-saving control of the adjusting rod, thereby driving the adjusting rod to move, and further driving the clamping assembly to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0035] Optionally, the mounting portion includes at least one fixing hole and a limiting block provided on the frame;

[0036] A mounting bolt is passed through the fixing hole;

[0037] The limiting block is installed on the lower side of the frame body, and forms an installation angle between the limiting block and the frame body.

[0038] The frame is initially positioned and installed at a predetermined position through the installation angle formed by the limit block and the frame, and then the frame is fixed at the predetermined position by the installation bolts, thereby realizing the installation of the silicone plate replacement tooling.

[0053] Some embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] As mentioned in the background, in conventional laminators, when installing silicone sheets, the upper press frame is generally initially fastened to the lower press frame, where the new silicone sheet is placed. The sheet is then manually tensioned, and finally the lower press frame is fully fastened to the upper press frame to secure the tensioned silicone sheet. This method is difficult to operate and requires significant manual intervention, resulting in a prolonged silicone sheet replacement process, which impacts the efficiency of photovoltaic module production.

[0055] Therefore, the present application creatively proposes a silicone plate replacement tool and a laminating unit, wherein the silicone plate replacement tool includes a frame and a clamping assembly for clamping the silicone plate, the frame is fixedly installed in a predetermined position by a mounting portion, and the clamping assembly is installed on the frame and can be moved relative to the frame along a first horizontal direction to achieve movement of the silicone plate in the first horizontal direction. When replacing the silicone plate on the laminating unit, at least two silicone plate replacement tools are installed on two opposite sides of the upper pressing frame or the lower pressing frame respectively, and then the silicone plate is clamped by the clamping assembly, and the clamping assemblies of the silicone plate replacement tools located on the two opposite sides of the upper pressing frame or the lower pressing frame are respectively operated to move along the first horizontal direction, thereby tensioning the silicone plate, and then the upper pressing frame and the lower pressing frame are buckled to complete the connection, and then all the silicone plate replacement tools are removed to complete the replacement of the silicone plate, thereby greatly shortening the replacement time of the silicone plate and thereby improving the production efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0056] The present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] Reference Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a silicone plate replacement tool, and the silicone plate replacement tool 1 includes a frame 2 and a clamping assembly 3; a mounting portion 21 is provided on the frame 2, and the frame 2 is fixedly installed in a predetermined position through the mounting portion 21; the clamping assembly 3 is installed on the frame 2, and the clamping assembly 3 can move relative to the frame 2 along a first horizontal direction; the clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp the silicone plate.

[0059] It is understandable that the silicone plate replacement tool 1 can also be applied to other fields. For example, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 can be applied to the field of fixed connection of parts. First, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 is installed on part A, and then part B is clamped by the silicone plate replacement tool 1. Then, part A and part B are welded using a welding machine or other equipment. After welding is completed, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 can be removed, thereby ensuring that part B always remains stable during the connection process between part A and part B.

[0060] It should be noted that the predetermined position is a component or a position thereof where the silicone plate needs to be replaced.

[0061] Specifically, the entire silicone plate replacement tool 1 is fixedly installed in a predetermined position through the installation part 21, and then the silicone plate is clamped by the clamping component 3 to fix the silicone plate. Then, the clamping component 3 can be moved along the first horizontal direction according to the installation requirements to adjust the position of the silicone plate.

[0062] In an alternative example, the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping member 31 for clamping or releasing the silicone plate.

[0063] In one implementation, the clamping assembly includes a clamp that can be opened and closed.

[0064] In another alternative example, the clamping assembly 3 includes a clamping member 31 and a base plate 32. The clamping member 31 is arranged on the base plate 32. A variable clamping space is formed between the clamping member 31 and the base plate 32 to clamp or release the silicone plate. The base plate 32 can move along the frame 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the clamping member 31 is a quick clamp, which can clamp the silicone plate and then lock it, ensuring that the clamping assembly 3 can always clamp the silicone plate during the movement.

[0066] Furthermore, in some examples, there are two clamping members 31, and the two clamping members 31 are arranged on the base plate 32 at intervals along a second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The clamping assembly 3 also includes a pressure rod 33 extending along the second horizontal direction, and the two ends of the pressure rod 33 are respectively connected to the clamping ends of the two clamping members 31. The two clamping members 31 drive the pressure rod 33 to approach or move away from the base plate 32 to clamp or release the silicone plate.

[0067] It should be noted that the shape of the bottom plate 32 can be arbitrary, as long as it can form a variable clamping space with the clamping member 31. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 32 is a rectangular parallelepiped. Accordingly, the width direction of the bottom plate 32 can be set as the first horizontal direction, and the length direction of the bottom plate 32 can be set as the second horizontal direction.

[0068] Furthermore, the shape of the pressure rod 33 can be any shape, such as a triangular prism, a rectangular parallelepiped, or a cylindrical shape, as long as it meets the clamping requirements for the silicone sheet. In this embodiment, the cylindrical shape of the pressure rod 33 can reduce the impact of the pressure rod 33 on the surface quality of the silicone sheet (such as scratches or wrinkles) when clamping the silicone sheet. At the same time, when the silicone sheet is moved using the clamping assembly 3, if the movement between the clamping member 31 and the silicone sheet is not synchronized, the pressure rod 33 and the silicone sheet will experience rolling friction, which can reduce wear on the silicone sheet.

[0069] It is understandable that the number of the clamping members 31 can be three or more, and can be specifically set according to the clamping area and clamping force required by the silicone plate.

[0070] Specifically, open the two clamping members 31, place the silicone plate between the bottom plate 32 and the two clamping members 31, and then close the two clamping members 31 so that the pressure rod 33 is pressed on the surface of the silicone plate, and then cooperates with the bottom plate 32 to clamp the silicone plate, and then by moving the bottom plate 32, the silicone plate is driven to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0071] Furthermore, in some examples, the base plate 32 has a bearing surface 321 for bearing the silicone plate, so that one side of the clamping space has a larger bearing surface 321 area, which can stably clamp the silicone plate and reduce the impact on the surface of the silicone plate during the clamping process; a bearing groove 322 extending along the second horizontal direction is provided on the bearing surface 321. When the two clamping members 31 drive the pressure rod 33 to press the bearing surface 321, the pressure rod 33 cooperates with the bearing groove 322 to clamp the silicone plate.

[0072] It can be understood that the shape of the supporting groove 322 (i.e., the cross-section along the thickness direction of the base plate 32) can be arbitrary, and can be a triangle, a quadrilateral or other polygon, or a circle, etc., as long as it cooperates with the pressure rod 33 so that the pressure rod 33 can press the silicone plate more stably on the base plate 32, reducing the possibility of the silicone plate sliding while following the movement of the clamping component 3.

[0073] In this embodiment, the supporting groove 322 is rectangular in shape and completely penetrates the bottom plate 32 along the second horizontal direction, so that a portion of the silicone plate along the first direction can be pressed relatively completely into the supporting groove 322 along the second horizontal direction, further reducing the possibility of relative movement between the silicone plate and the pressure rod 33 along the first horizontal direction.

[0074] In some examples, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 further includes a sliding member 4 , the clamping assembly 3 is connected to the frame 2 via the sliding member 4 , and the sliding member 4 drives the clamping assembly 3 to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0075] In an alternative example, the sliding member 4 can be a guide rail slider module, which is arranged along the first horizontal direction, and the base plate 32 is connected to the slider of the guide rail slider module. The sliding member 4 can also be a component such as a rodless cylinder, a guide rail slide module, etc. that can realize linear sliding of parts.

[0076] In another alternative example, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the sliding member 4 includes a sliding rod 41, and the frame 2 is provided with a sliding groove 22 for the sliding rod 41 to slide. The sliding rod 41 slides along the first horizontal direction in the sliding groove 22, thereby realizing the smooth movement of the clamping assembly 3 and the silicone plate along the first horizontal direction. At the same time, the cooperation between the sliding rod 41 and the sliding groove 22 can make the structure of the sliding member 4 compact, saving the space occupied by the silicone plate replacement tool 1.

[0077] In some examples, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 also includes an adjustment component 5, which is connected to the clamping component 3 to drive the clamping component 3 to move along the first horizontal direction, making it easier for the operator to adjust the movement of the clamping component 3.

[0078] In some examples, the adjustment assembly 5 includes an adjustment rod 51 and an adjustment handle 52. The adjustment rod 51 is mounted on the frame 2 and can move relative to the frame 2. The first end of the adjustment rod 51 is connected to the clamping assembly 3, and the second end of the adjustment rod 51 is connected to the adjustment handle 52. A staff member can adjust the adjustment rod 51 using the adjustment handle 52, thereby moving the adjustment rod 51 relative to the frame 2. In this embodiment, the frame body 2 is provided with a first through hole 23 along its own thickness direction, and the first through hole 23 is used to accommodate at least a part of the bottom plate 32 in the thickness direction of the bottom plate 32, so that the structure of the silicone plate replacement tool 1 is compact; at the same time, the bottom plate 32 can reciprocate a certain distance in the first through hole 23 along the first horizontal direction; the frame body 2 is provided with a second through hole 24 threadedly connected to the adjustment rod 51 along the first horizontal direction, and the bottom plate 32 is provided with a movable groove 323 for accommodating the first end of the adjustment rod 51, and the cross-section of the movable groove 323 along the thickness direction of the bottom plate 32 is a convex shape, and the first end of the adjustment rod 51 is provided with a limiting portion 511, and the outer dimension of the limiting portion 511 is larger than the circumferential dimension of the adjustment rod, so that the limiting portion 511 is always at the bottom of the "convex structure" of the movable groove 323.

[0079] In one implementation, the adjusting rod is provided with a thread, and the second through hole on the frame is a threaded hole that matches the thread on the adjusting rod. The adjusting rod is driven to move relative to the frame by rotating the adjusting handle to achieve movement of the clamping assembly.

[0080] When the clamping assembly 3 is moved, the adjusting handle 52 is rotated to drive the adjusting rod 51 to rotate in the second through hole 24, and the limiting portion 511 can be rotated in the movable groove 323, thereby converting the circular motion into a linear motion along the first horizontal direction, so that the adjusting rod 51 makes a linear motion along the first horizontal direction while performing a rotational motion, and the limiting portion 511 abuts between the bottom and the top of the "convex structure" of the movable groove 323, thereby driving the bottom plate 32 and the silicone plate to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0081] In some examples, the mounting portion 21 includes at least one fixing hole 211 and a limit block 212 provided on the frame 2; a mounting bolt 213 is passed through the fixing hole 211, and the limit block 212 is installed on the lower side of the frame 2, forming a mounting angle 214 between the frame 2 and the limit block 212.

[0082] Specifically, when installing the silicone plate replacement tool 1 to a predetermined position, a mounting hole that is threadedly connected to the mounting bolt 213 can be pre-opened at the predetermined position (some parts to be installed). Then, through the mounting angle 214 formed by the limit block 212 and the frame 2, in this embodiment, a snap-in groove that can be snapped into the predetermined position is formed on the mounting side of the frame 2, so that the silicone plate replacement tool 1 can be quickly positioned at the predetermined position and a preliminary connection between the two is achieved. Then, the mounting bolt 213 is screwed into the mounting hole and tightened to achieve the installation of the silicone plate replacement tool 1 at the predetermined position.

[0083] It can be understood that the connection method between the frame 2 and the predetermined position also includes other detachable installation structures. For example, a clamping structure can be set on the installation side of the frame 2, and the clamping structure includes a deformable clamping slot. After the clamping slot is clamped at the predetermined position, the side wall of the clamping slot abutting the predetermined position is elastically deformed and pressed against the predetermined position; or a plug-in structure can be set on the installation side of the frame 2, that is, the detachable installation between the silicone plate replacement tool 1 and the predetermined position is achieved through the interference fit of the plug-in channel and the plug-in part; wherein, one of the plug-in channel and the plug-in part is set on the silicone plate replacement tool 1, and the other is set at the predetermined position.

[0084] Example 2

[0085] Corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the embodiment of the present application also provides a laminating unit, which includes a heating plate, an upper pressing frame, a silicone plate, a lower pressing frame 6 and at least two silicone plate replacement tooling 1; the upper pressing frame is installed on the lower side of the heating plate; the lower pressing frame 6 is installed below the upper pressing frame, and the silicone plate is clamped by the lower pressing frame 6 and the upper pressing frame; at least two silicone plate replacement tooling 1 are respectively installed on the two opposite sides of the lower pressing frame 6; or, at least two silicone plate replacement tooling 1 are respectively installed on the two opposite sides of the upper pressing frame.

[0086] It should be noted that the predetermined position refers to the upper pressing frame or the lower pressing frame 6 .

[0087] In some examples, the laminating unit is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and accordingly, the heating plate, upper pressing frame, silicone plate, and lower pressing frame 6 are all in the shape of rectangular parallelepiped. In this embodiment, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 is installed on two opposite sides of the lower pressing frame 6 in the width direction.

[0088] It is understood that, considering the size of the silicone sheet, at least two silicone sheet replacement fixtures 1 can be provided on each side of the lower pressing frame 6. In this embodiment, four silicone sheet replacement fixtures 1 are provided on each side of the lower pressing frame 6 in the width direction, and the silicone sheet replacement fixtures 1 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the lower pressing frame 6 to achieve uniform clamping and subsequent uniform tensioning of the silicone sheet.

[0089] Specifically, when replacing the silicone plate in the laminating unit, first separate the upper pressing frame from the lower pressing frame 6, then remove the lower pressing frame 6, then remove the silicone plate on the lower pressing frame 6, and then install the silicone plate replacement tooling 1 on the corresponding side (predetermined position) of the lower pressing frame 6, and then open the clamping piece 31 to press part of the silicone plate against the bottom plate 32; then adjust the adjustment handle 52 located on one side of the laminating unit so that the adjustment rod 51 moves along the first horizontal direction (forward), thereby driving the silicone plate to move along its own width direction, and at the same time, adjust the adjustment handle 52 on the other side of the laminating unit so that the adjustment rod 51 moves along the first horizontal direction (reverse), thereby driving the silicone plate to move along its own width direction, and finally making the silicone plate tensioned along its own width direction; then assemble the upper pressing frame and the lower pressing frame 6, and then remove all the silicone plate replacement tooling 1 to complete the replacement of the silicone plate. Compared with the existing technology, the present application greatly saves labor costs and shortens the replacement time of the silicone plate, thereby greatly improving the replacement efficiency of the silicone plate, and further improving the production efficiency of the photovoltaic module; at the same time, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 of the present application is compact and reliable. When multiple lamination units are stacked for use, the silicone plate replacement tool 1 of the present application can still be installed and used when the lamination unit can only open a small space, thereby achieving rapid replacement of the silicone plate. In addition, according to the actual situation of the silicone plate and the tensioning requirements of the silicone plate, the staff can make individual and precise adjustments to the silicone plate replacement tool 1 at different positions, thereby achieving targeted adjustment of the tensioning degree of different positions of the silicone plate.
