[0036] Example 1

[0037] Aiming at the technical problem that the side wall of the material box in the prior art is easily deformed during clamping, which leads to unstable clamping of the material box, the utility model provides a solar cell material box clamping mechanism, referring to Figure 2 The mechanism includes a mounting member 1 and two sets of clamping assemblies 2 mounted on the mounting member 1. Each set of clamping assemblies 2 includes two clamping jaws 21 and a clamping jaw driving member 22 for driving the two clamping jaws 21 to open or close. The two sets of clamping assemblies 2 are respectively used to clamp the two opposite side walls of the material box 100.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 In the process of clamping the material box 100, the two groups of clamping components 2 respectively clamp the two opposite side walls of the material box 100. This arrangement can prevent the side walls of the material box from being deformed, thereby improving the stability of the material box during the clamping process and avoiding the phenomenon of the material box overturning or falling.

[0039] In this embodiment, the material box 100 is made by injection molding. Compared with a material box made of metal, the material box 100 in this embodiment has the advantages of light weight and low cost.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Each clamping jaw 21 is provided with a limit block 211, and the side wall of the magazine 100 is provided with a limit hole 101 for inserting the limit block 211. When the above mechanism is gripping the magazine 100, the limit block 211 is inserted into the corresponding limit hole 101, which can further prevent the magazine 100 from falling.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 Each side wall of the material box 100 is provided with a notch for the battery cell clamp to extend into the material box to clamp the battery cell, and a limiting hole 101 is provided on both sides of each notch. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each clamping jaw 21 is provided with two limiting blocks 211, and the two limiting blocks 211 on each clamping jaw 21 are respectively used to be inserted into the limiting holes 101 on both sides of the notch. By limiting both sides of the notch, the side wall of the magazine 100 is further prevented from being deformed.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The clamping jaw driving member 22 is a bidirectional cylinder, and a pair of clamping jaws 21 are respectively fixed to the two power output ends of the bidirectional cylinder.

[0043] Furthermore, each jaw driving member 22 is slidably connected to the mounting member 1. By changing the position of the jaw driving member 22 relative to the mounting member 1, the spacing between the two pairs of jaws 21 can be changed, thereby being able to adapt to different sizes of magazines 100, giving the mechanism the advantage of high adaptability.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, each clamping assembly 2 further includes a slide 23 and a pitch-adjusting screw 24 , wherein: the slide 23 is fixed to the clamping jaw driving member 22 ; the pitch-adjusting screw 24 is screwed to the slide 23 and rotatably connected to the mounting member 1 .

[0045] Specifically, the slide 23 includes a connecting plate and a connecting block fixed to the upper end surface of the connecting plate, wherein the lower end surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw driving member 22, and a threaded hole for cooperating with the pitch adjusting screw 24 is provided on the connecting block.

[0046] In this embodiment, both ends of the pitch-adjusting screw 24 are rotatably connected to the mounting member 1. Nuts or other locking members are also provided at both ends of the pitch-adjusting screw 24, which can be used to lock the pitch-adjusting screw 24 to the mounting member 1. When the spacing between the two pairs of clamping jaws 21 needs to be adjusted, the locking members are loosened to release the restriction on the pitch-adjusting screw 24. The pitch-adjusting screw 24 can then be rotated to adjust the spacing between the two pairs of clamping jaws 21.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 5 Each clamping assembly 2 further includes a guide rail 25 and a slider 26, wherein the guide rail 25 is fixed to the mounting member 1; the slider 26 is fixed to the clamping jaw driving member 22 and slidably connected to the guide rail 25. The arrangement of the guide rail 25 and the slider 26 can guide the clamping jaw driving member 22 so that the clamping jaw driving member 22 moves smoothly along a set trajectory.

[0048] Based on the above structure, the slider 26 can be a self-locking slider. Specifically, the slider 26 is provided with a set screw, the end of which can abut against the guide rail 25. When the spacing between the two pairs of jaws 21 needs to be adjusted, the set screw is rotated to release the restriction on the slider 26. The slider 26 is then moved along the length of the guide rail 25 to adjust the spacing between the two pairs of jaws 21.

[0049] It should be noted that the solar cell magazine clamping mechanism includes a pitch-adjusting screw 24 and / or a guide rail slider structure, that is, the pitch-adjusting screw 24 and the guide rail slider structure may exist alone or simultaneously.

[0050] In this embodiment, each group of clamping components 2 includes a slide 23, a pitch-adjusting screw 24, a guide rail 25 and a slider 26, wherein: the pitch-adjusting screw 24 is parallel to the guide rail 25, the pitch-adjusting screw 24 is screwed to the slide 23 and rotatably connected to the mounting member 1, the guide rail 25 is fixed to the mounting member 1 by a countersunk screw; the clamping jaw drive 22 and the slider 26 are respectively fixed to the slide 23 by countersunk screws.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 The solar cell magazine gripping mechanism can be installed at the power output end of the driving mechanism 200, and the driving mechanism 200 can drive the solar cell magazine gripping mechanism to move in space to achieve the transfer of the magazine 100. Optionally, the driving mechanism 200 is a three-axis slide mechanism or a robot.

[0052] The material box clamping mechanism provided in this embodiment is stable in clamping the material and easy to install. In order to improve the transfer efficiency of the material box 100, a plurality of material box clamping mechanisms can be installed at the power output end of the driving mechanism 200.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] This embodiment provides a solar cell material box clamping mechanism. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that this embodiment uses an automatic adjustment method to adjust the distance between the two pairs of clamping jaws 21.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The solar cell magazine gripping mechanism provided in this embodiment further includes a screw drive assembly 3 mounted on the mounting member 1 and configured to drive the pitch adjustment screw 24. Compared to manually adjusting the spacing between the two pairs of jaws 21, this embodiment offers a higher degree of automation and greater ease of use.

[0056] Specifically, the screw drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31, a driving bevel gear 32 and two driven bevel gears 33, wherein: the motor 31 is fixed to the mounting member 1; the driving bevel gear 32 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 31; the two driven bevel gears 33 are respectively sleeved on the two pitch-adjusting screws 24 and are both engaged with the driving bevel gear 32.

[0057] During the startup of the motor 31 , the motor 31 drives the two pitch-adjusting screws 24 to rotate synchronously through the driving bevel gear 32 and the two driven bevel gears 33 , thereby driving the two jaw driving members 22 to move toward or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pairs of jaws 21 .

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mounting member 1 includes a support plate 11 and a motor fixing plate 12 fixed on one side of the support plate 11. The motor 31 is fixed on the side of the motor fixing plate 12 away from the support plate 11. The clamping assembly 2 is fixed on the lower end surface of the support plate 11. The output shaft of the motor 31 passes through the motor fixing plate 12 and extends between the two sets of clamping assemblies 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting member 1 further includes two sets of lugs fixed to the lower end surface of the support plate 11. The two sets of lugs correspond one-to-one with the two sets of clamping assemblies 2. Each lug set includes two lugs 13, and each end of each pitch adjustment screw 24 is rotatably connected to the corresponding two lugs 13.

[0060] On the basis of the above structure, an avoidance through hole is provided on the support plate 11 at the position corresponding to the bevel gear. The setting of the avoidance through hole eliminates the need to reserve installation space for the bevel gear in the mechanism, thereby improving the compactness of the structure and facilitating the installation of the bevel gear.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
