Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component production, in particular to a tooling conveying mechanism and a tooling circulation line. Background Art
[0002] Photovoltaic modules, also known as solar cell modules, are used to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Ground-based photovoltaic systems largely utilize silicon-based solar cells. Photovoltaic cells offer numerous advantages, and with the rapid development of the photovoltaic cell field, they have become widely used. Consequently, the demand for photovoltaic module production capacity is also growing. During the production and assembly of photovoltaic modules, one step involves placing tooling around the modules during lamination. The modules and tooling are then connected together with tape. After lamination, the tape must be removed, and the tooling removed. The removed tooling must be inspected for damage and reusability. If it is reusable, it is transported via a conveyor line to the installation tooling site for continued use. Transporting tooling piece by piece along the conveyor line is inefficient, making it difficult to meet growing production capacity demands. Furthermore, the entire conveyor line is a closed-loop system, making it impossible to configure individual transport routes and thus adapting to various production line configurations.

[0039] Specific structure such as Figures 1 to 3 shown.
[0040] The present embodiment provides a tooling conveying mechanism for a tooling circulation line, which includes a tooling unloading station and a tooling loading station, and the tooling conveying mechanism includes: a transport vehicle 1 and a ground rail 2; the transport vehicle 1 includes a fence and a chassis 3, the fence is arranged on the chassis 3, and a tooling stacking space is formed inside the fence; the two ends of the ground rail 2 are respectively located at the tooling unloading station and the tooling loading station; the chassis 3 is arranged on the ground rail 2, and the chassis 3 can reciprocate along the ground rail 2 between the tooling unloading station and the tooling loading station to transport the tooling from the tooling unloading station to the tooling loading station.
[0041] In this embodiment, the transport vehicle 1 reciprocates along the ground rail 2 between the tooling unloading station and the tooling loading station, so that the tooling at the tooling unloading station can be transported to the tooling loading station, saving manpower, improving efficiency, and meeting the growing production capacity demand. At the same time, a tooling stacking space is formed inside the fence, and the tooling is stacked in the stacking space to prevent it from falling or tipping over.
[0042] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the fence includes a fence 4 and a stacking beam 5. The fence 4 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the chassis 3, and the stacking beam 5 is arranged on the inner side of the fence 4; a tooling stacking space is formed between the fence 4 and the stacking beam 5.
[0043] In this embodiment, the chassis 3 is hollowed out to reduce weight, and the edges of the tooling are placed on the stacking beams 5, which support the tooling. The overall structure of the fence is simple, and it not only prevents the tooling from falling and tipping over, but also supports the tooling.
[0044] The optional technical solution of this embodiment also includes a tool stacking space adjustment slide 6; the chassis 3 is square, and the enclosures 4 on at least two adjacent sides of the chassis 3 are slidably connected to the chassis 3 through the tool stacking space adjustment slide 6, and the tool stacking space adjustment slide 6 is used to drive the enclosures 4 to move toward their own inner or outer sides.
[0045] In this embodiment, the shape of the stacking space matches the shape of the tooling, that is, it is square. At least the enclosures 4 on the adjacent two sides slide through the tooling stacking space adjustment slide 6, and the size of the stacking space can be adjusted to accommodate tooling of different sizes, thereby improving applicability.

The ground rail slide 13 and the ground rail rack 14 are both mounted on the ground rail frame 15, and the chassis 3 is connected to the slider of the ground rail slide 13. The ground rail motor 16 is mounted on the chassis 3, and the output end of the ground rail motor 16 engages with the ground rail rack 14 via a gear.

[0052] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a manual slide 17 is further included, through which the chassis 3 is connected to the slider of the ground rail slide 13. The position of the chassis 3 on the ground rail 2 is conveniently adjusted.
