Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component production, in particular to a tooling pick-and-place mechanism and a tooling transport device. Background Art

[0002] During the current photovoltaic module production process, a frame is placed around the module during lamination. The frame surrounds the module but does not come into contact with it. This frame prevents excessive pressure on the module's edges during lamination, which could lead to quality issues. The frame must be removed promptly after lamination is complete.

[0003] The existing technology uses a clamp to grab the frame tooling. Since the frame tooling is large and thin and the material is relatively soft, the frame tooling is easily deformed when subjected to force. It is difficult for the clamp to accurately grab the frame, which creates great difficulties in realizing the automation of the frame tooling pick-up and placement. At the same time, the frame tooling pick-up and placement device uses a clamp to grab and place the frame tooling. The two claws of the clamp are arranged one above and one below. The lower claw, which serves as the clamping mechanism, has a certain thickness. In the process of placing the frame tooling, it needs to be dropped in advance when there is a certain gap from the photovoltaic module. Therefore, it is difficult to place it accurately, which often causes the frame tooling and the photovoltaic module to be misaligned and requires manual reset. Utility Model Content

[0042] Specific structure such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0043] This embodiment provides a tooling picking and placing mechanism 14, comprising: a hanger 1, a suction nozzle 2 and a transport seat 3; the hanger 1 is square, the suction nozzles 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the hanger 1, and the suction nozzles 2 are located on the lower side of the hanger 1, and the suction nozzles 2 are used to adsorb the tooling; the transport seat 3 is arranged on the hanger 1, and is located on the upper side of the hanger 1, and the transport seat 3 is used to connect with an external transport mechanism.

[0044] In this embodiment, suction nozzles 2 are arranged at intervals around the sides of the square hanger 1.
