Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic components, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic component stacking pad device. Background Art

[0002] As calls for environmental protection grow stronger, my country has begun shifting from traditional power generation models to solar photovoltaic power generation models in order to increase the proportion of new and clean energy in power generation. Photovoltaic modules are an important type of solar power generation device. The production process of photovoltaic modules includes multiple steps, such as cell sorting, welding, stacking, lamination, EL testing, framing, junction box installation, cleaning, IV testing, and finished product inspection. After assembly, photovoltaic modules need to be stacked. To prevent friction between adjacent photovoltaic modules, spacers are placed between them to isolate them. The spacers are coated with a layer of isolation film. The existing method is to manually remove the isolation film and then place it on the photovoltaic module. Manual operation is inefficient and has high labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model more clear, the following Figure 1-Figure 2 It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] A photovoltaic module stacking and placing pads comprises a feeding mechanism, a tearing mechanism, a line mechanism, and a loading and unloading mechanism disposed above the line mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to convey the pads, the tearing mechanism is used to remove the insulating film from the pads, the line mechanism is used to transport the photovoltaic modules, and the loading and unloading mechanism is used to remove the pads from the insulating film and place them on the photovoltaic modules. The various mechanisms in the device are organically integrated to form an automated assembly line operation.

[0022] The described line mechanism is similar to existing line mechanisms, both including a conveyor belt that is arranged perpendicular to the conveyor belt's direction of transport. Guide assemblies 71 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt. These guide assemblies 71 include a guide cylinder and a guide plate mounted on the cylinder. Guide wheels are provided at both ends of the guide plate, and their rotational direction aligns with the conveyor belt's direction of transport. Photovoltaic modules 5 placed on the conveyor belt are guided into position by the guide assemblies 71.

[0023] The feeding mechanism comprises a vibrating plate 2, above which is positioned a magazine 1 containing pads. The discharge end of the vibrating plate 2 is connected to a tearing mechanism 4 via a conveyor belt 3. Pads placed in the magazine 1 pass through the vibrating plate 2 and fall onto the conveyor belt 3. Driven by a transmission motor 31 on one side, the conveyor belt 3 transports the pads toward the tearing mechanism. In this embodiment, a set of feeding mechanisms are provided, each positioned to correspond to the side of the photovoltaic module where the pads will be placed. This minimizes mechanical movement and thus reduces discharge time.

[0024] The tearing mechanism 4 is arranged at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 3. The tearing mechanism includes a receiving plate 41 arranged horizontally and vertically on one side of the tail end of the conveyor belt. A first pushing cylinder 42 is arranged on the other side of the conveyor belt 3. The first pushing cylinder 42 is arranged at the feed end of the receiving plate 41. The tail end of the conveyor belt 3, which is also the feed end of the receiving plate 41, is provided with a first sensor 43 for detecting the front and back of the pad. The first sensor 43 is a color sensor. When the pad is discharged from the material box, the front and back of the pad may be different, that is, the isolation film is not on the front side, which is the back side. Because the color of the pad is different from the color of the isolation film, the front and back of the pad can be known by the color sensor. When the first sensor 43 senses that the isolation film of the pad is not on the front side, the first pushing cylinder 42 pushes the pad 32 into the receiving plate 41 and then the "unqualified" pad is directly removed by the corresponding mechanism. In this embodiment, a second sensor 44 for detecting the presence of a cushion block is provided at the distal end of the receiving plate 41 , that is, at the bottom of the discharge end.

[0025] The isolation film tearing assembly is arranged on the rear end side of the material receiving plate 41. The isolation film tearing assembly includes a pushing cylinder 45 and an adsorption unit 46 arranged on the pushing cylinder 45. The pushing cylinder 45 drives the adsorption unit to reciprocate horizontally above the material receiving plate 41. The pushing cylinder 45 is connected to a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is extended and placed on one side of the pushing cylinder 45. The adsorption unit 46 is placed on the connecting plate by a displacement cylinder, that is, the position of the adsorption unit is staggered with the pushing cylinder 45. A isolation film storage box is also provided on one side of the pushing cylinder 45. When the pushing cylinder 45 is operated, it drives the connecting plate to move, and at the same time drives the displacement cylinder and the adsorption unit 46 to move toward the material receiving plate 41. When it moves above the material receiving plate, the displacement cylinder is operated to drive the adsorption unit 46 to move toward the pad. The adsorption unit adsorbs the isolation film on the pad. The displacement cylinder resets, the pushing cylinder resets, and the adsorption unit drops the adsorbed isolation film into the isolation film storage box. Specifically, the adsorption unit 46 is a suction cup. In order to better remove the isolation film, a puncture component is also provided on one side of the adsorption unit 46. The puncture component first punctures the isolation film to perform a preliminary isolation film lift, and then negatively adsorbs the punctured isolation film through the adsorption unit.

[0026] The tail end of the receiving plate 41 is also provided with a transfer assembly 47, which includes a transfer plate and a transfer claw cylinder connected to the rotating shaft and arranged on one side of the transfer plate. The transfer plate is arranged on the other side of the receiving plate 41, and its setting direction is perpendicular to the receiving plate. The transfer plate and the pushing cylinder are respectively arranged on both sides of the receiving plate. After the isolation film is removed, the transfer claw cylinder will clamp the pad 32, and the rotating shaft drives the transfer claw cylinder to rotate and transfer the pad to the transfer plate. Of course, in order to avoid the pad moving when the release paper is adsorbed, it is preferred that when the pushing cylinder is working, the transfer claw cylinder will first clamp the pad, and then adsorb and remove the release paper. One side of the transfer plate is also provided with a waste removal assembly 48. The principle of the waste removal assembly 48 is similar to that of the transfer assembly, and both include a rotating shaft and a clamping cylinder connected to the rotating shaft. If a pad on the receiving plate is unqualified, it is removed by the gripping cylinder of the waste removal assembly 48 and discarded into a waste box 49 located on the side. In this embodiment, "unqualified" pads refer not only to pads that are not properly shaped but also to pads that have not had their separator removed. Whether the separator has been removed can be determined by negative pressure detection in the adsorption unit.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are two pads on the transfer plate, and the cylinder at the bottom of the transfer plate can realize the position of the pads on the transfer plate when they are transferred from the transfer clamp cylinder.

[0028] The material handling mechanism is located above the linear mechanism and includes a conveyor frame 6 and a handling assembly mounted on the conveyor frame 6. The handling assembly includes a first upper and lower cylinder 7, which is connected to a handling claw cylinder 8 via an adapter plate. The conveyor frame 6 can move in the X and Y directions, and combined with the first upper and lower cylinder 7, it can achieve reciprocating movement in the Z direction, thereby better handling the spacers. When a spacer is placed on a photovoltaic module, the linear mechanism transfers the completed photovoltaic module to the next process step, while waiting for the next photovoltaic module to arrive.
