Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automation equipment, in particular to a busbar processing device with a label tearing and labeling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] There are busbars protruding from the surface of photovoltaic modules (hereinafter referred to as modules). In order to prevent glue overflow at the position where the busbars pass through, PTFE cloth is usually laid at the position where the busbars pass through the modules. The specific working process is to pass the upright busbars through the through holes opened in the PTFE cloth, and then flatten the busbars so that the busbars are pressed against the surface of the PTFE cloth.

[0003] In order to identify the processing information and production parameters of the components, labels are generally pasted on the photovoltaic components. There is a type of photovoltaic component that has a label on the bottom (i.e., the lower surface of the photovoltaic component) when it is received. The label is generally long and a part of the label is exposed on the outside of the photovoltaic component frame so that the staff can tear it off. During the production process of the photovoltaic component, the staff needs to tear off the label pasted on the lower surface of the photovoltaic component and paste it on the upper surface of the photovoltaic component.

[0004] Usually, the labeling is done manually, but this is inefficient. To improve efficiency, it is done together with the busbar smoothing process, that is, the busbar is smoothed on one side of the component, and the staff performs labeling on the other side. However, this working method is less safe.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a busbar processing device with a label tearing and labeling mechanism, which can improve the production efficiency of photovoltaic modules on the one hand and improve the safety of workers on the other hand. Utility Model Content

When the clamping cylinder is closed, the end of the clamping cylinder extends between the busbars. When the clamping cylinder is opened, the clamping cylinder is used to smooth the two busbars.

[0012] Optionally, the driving component includes an X-axis moving component, a Y-axis moving component and a Z-axis moving component, the X-axis moving component is used to drive the label tearing and labeling mechanism to move along the X-axis of the frame, the Y-axis moving component is used to drive the label tearing and labeling mechanism to move along the Y-axis of the frame, and the Z-axis moving component is used to drive the clamping claw to move up and down along the Z-axis.

[0013] Optionally, a vertical plate is connected to the bottom side wall of the Z-axis moving component, a visual camera is provided on the vertical plate, and the vertical plate is also connected to a light source for providing illumination to the visual camera.

[0014] Optionally, the label tearing and labeling mechanism further includes a base plate, a servo motor and a connecting plate, the base plate is connected to the bottom of the Z-axis moving assembly, the servo motor is connected to the base plate, the servo motor is used to drive the connecting plate to rotate horizontally, and the swing cylinder is connected to the connecting plate.

[0015] Optionally, the clamping jaw includes an upper jaw and a lower jaw, the lower jaw is connected to a roller, and the rolling surface of the roller is tangent to the surface of the lower jaw.

[0016] Optionally, the clamping surface of the upper jaw has an anti-sticking structure.

[0017] Optionally, after the swing cylinder drives the clamping jaw to flip, the clamping surface of the clamping jaw forms an acute angle with the component surface.

[0018] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The label attached to the lower surface of the module is torn off by the clamping jaws in conjunction with the driving components. Then, the swing cylinder and servo motor work together to flip the clamping jaws and attach the label to the upper surface of the module. The installation of PTFE cloth and smoothing of busbars can be integrated into the same equipment, improving the production efficiency of photovoltaic modules while reducing the workload of workers and improving their safety.

[0020] 2. By setting a roller on the lower jaw, after the jaw is flipped, the roller is located above the label. As the driving component drives the jaw to move along the rolling direction of the roller, the roller can quickly compact the label;

[0021] 3. By setting up a servo motor, more space is provided for the flipping of the gripper, and the gripper is flipped to a suitable angle, and the drive components and rollers are used to firmly stick the label. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] Photovoltaic modules involve multiple production steps, among which the installation of PTFE sheeting and the shaping of busbars are crucial. The main process involves first installing the PTFE sheeting on the busbars, with the two busbars upright and nearly parallel to each other. The two busbars are then passed through the through-holes in the PTFE sheeting. The busbars are then smoothed, even if they are covered and laid flat on top of the PTFE sheeting. During production, many PV module manufacturers incorporate labeling to facilitate module identification and record production information and parameters. One type of PV module currently has a label attached to the lower surface (i.e., the back) of the module, with a portion of the label exposed outside the frame. During assembly, workers must remove the label and attach it to the upper surface (i.e., the front) of the module. Related art methods employ manual labeling, which is inefficient, difficult to control, and easily impacts the production cycle. It also places heavy workload on workers, who are prone to accidental injuries from the equipment during the labeling process. Therefore, the present application provides a busbar processing device that can adapt to the need to tear off the label on the back of the component and stick it on the front of the component, improve the work efficiency of tearing and labeling, reduce manual participation, reduce the labor intensity of staff, and improve the safety of workers.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 , further explain this application in detail.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The busbar processing equipment of the label tearing and labeling mechanism includes a frame 1, on which a conveying component 2 is provided. The conveying component 2 is used to convey photovoltaic components 3, and the photovoltaic components 3 have busbars. The frame 1 is also provided with a busbar processing mechanism, a label tearing and labeling mechanism and a driving component. The busbar processing mechanism is used to smooth the busbar after installing the PTFE cloth on the busbar. The installation of the PTFE cloth and the smoothing of the busbar are existing technologies, and this application will not go into details. The label tearing and labeling mechanism includes a clamp 5 and a swing cylinder 6 for driving the clamp 5 to flip.

[0038] Reference Figure 1The driving components include an X-axis moving component 10, a Y-axis moving component 11 and a Z-axis moving component 12. The X-axis moving component 10 is used to drive the label tearing and labeling mechanism to move along the X-axis of the frame 1. The Y-axis moving component 11 is used to drive the X-axis moving component 10 and the label tearing and labeling mechanism to move along the Y-axis of the Y frame 1. The Z-axis moving component 12 is used to drive the clamping claw 5 to move up and down along the Z-axis.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 The busbar processing mechanism includes a suction cup 7 for sucking the PTFE cloth, a clamping cylinder 8 for smoothing the busbar, and a slide 9 for driving the clamping cylinder 8 to move relative to the suction cup 7 along the Y-axis direction.

[0040] As a feasible method, at the beginning, the slide 9 drives the clamping cylinder 8 to move along the Y axis, so that the clamping cylinder 8 and the suction cup 7 avoid each other, and the suction cup 7 sucks the Teflon cloth to be installed. When the suction cup 7 moves to the top of the bus bar, the suction cup 7 releases the Teflon cloth so that the bus bar passes through the Teflon cloth, thereby installing the Teflon cloth on the bus bar. It can be understood that the suction cup 7 has at least a vacuum breaking and vacuum suction state. When sucking the Teflon cloth, the suction cup 7 is in a vacuum suction state. When the Teflon cloth is installed on the bus bar, the suction cup 7 is in a vacuum breaking state. Then the slide 9 cylinder drives the clamping cylinder 8 to move along the Y axis. The front end of the clamping cylinder 8 has an oblique angle. When the clamping cylinder 8 is in a closed state, it is convenient for the front end of the clamping cylinder 8 to extend between the two bus bars. When the clamping cylinder 8 is in an open state, the two sides of the clamping cylinder 8 press against the side walls of the bus bar and move away from each other, thereby smoothing the bus bar and covering it on the Teflon cloth.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The label peeling and labeling mechanism also includes a vertical plate 13, a bottom plate 16 and a connecting plate 18. The vertical plate 13 is connected to the side wall of the bottom of the Z-axis moving component 12. A visual camera 14 is provided on the vertical plate 13. A light source 15 for providing light to the visual camera 14 is provided on the vertical plate 13. The light source 15 is located at the bottom of the visual camera 14. The light source 15 is provided with a through hole for the shooting path of the visual camera 14 to pass through, that is, the light source 15 adopts a ring light source 15. The bottom plate 16 is connected to the bottom of the Z-axis moving component 12. The bottom plate 16 is connected to the servo Motor 17, the servo motor 17 is located on the opposite side of the visual camera 14, and the output shaft of the servo motor 17 is connected to the connecting plate 18. The servo motor 17 is used to drive the connecting plate 18 to rotate horizontally. The swing cylinder 6 is set on the connecting plate 18. Through such a setting, when the clamp 5 tears off the label 4 pasted on the lower surface of the component, the servo motor 17 drives the connecting plate 18 to rotate horizontally, so that the clamp 5 quickly leaves the surrounding of the component, so that the clamp 5 has a larger rotation space when rotating in the vertical direction.

[0042] Reference Figure 5The clamping jaw 5 includes an upper jaw 19 and a lower jaw 20. The lower jaw 20 is rotatably connected to a roller 21. The rolling surface of the roller 21 is tangent to the surface of the lower jaw 20. The clamping surface of the upper jaw 19 has an anti-sticking structure 22. As an implementable method, the anti-sticking structure 22 can adopt a corrugated cross-section or be coated with a fluorine anti-sticking layer.

[0043] The specific working process of the clamping jaw 5 is that at the beginning, the upper jaw 19 is on the top and the lower jaw 20 is on the bottom. During the operation of the driving component, the clamping jaw 5 clamps the portion of the label 4 attached to the lower surface of the component that is exposed outside the frame. Then the servo motor 17 drives the connecting plate 18 to rotate horizontally to provide a space for the clamping jaw 5 to flip quickly. At the same time, the swing cylinder 6 drives the clamping jaw 5 to flip. At this time, the lower jaw 20 is on the top and the upper jaw 19 is on the bottom. The torn label 4 is located between the lower jaw 20 and the upper jaw 19, and as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, after the flipping is completed, the clamping surface of the clamping jaw 5 forms an acute angle with the surface of the component, preferably 25°-45°. After the driving component moves the label tearing and labeling mechanism to the appropriate position, the Z-axis moving component 12 controls the label tearing and labeling mechanism to approach the component and stick the label 4 on the upper surface of the component. While sticking the label 4, since the roller 21 is located above the label 4 at this time, the driving component drives the label tearing and labeling mechanism to move, so that the roller 21 further presses the label 4 after the pasting is completed, thereby completing the label tearing on the back of the component and sticking the label 4 on the upper surface of the component. In addition, this part of the process is integrated with the PTFE cloth installation and busbar shaping into one device, which improves the production efficiency of the photovoltaic component 3, reduces the labor intensity of the staff, and improves the safety of the staff.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
