The two bus bars on the junction box are bent to both sides to facilitate connection with the adjacent photovoltaic panels and the junction boxes on the adjacent photovoltaic modules. For the installation of the junction box, it is usually necessary to pre-apply glue on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, and then install the junction box on the photovoltaic panel through a clamping mechanism; to facilitate the external connection of the junction box, after the junction box is installed on the photovoltaic panel, it is also necessary to move the photovoltaic panel with the junction box to the next workstation, and bend the two bus bars on the junction box to both sides through the claw mechanism.

[0039] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5The present embodiment provides a junction box installation device, which includes a base 100, a clamping assembly 200 and a bending assembly 300, wherein the clamping assembly 200 includes two clamping jaws 220 and a clamping drive 210 provided on the base 100, the two clamping jaws 220 are respectively provided at two output ends of the clamping drive 210, the two output ends of the clamping drive 210 can be moved closer to each other along the width direction of the junction box 1000 to drive the two clamping jaws 220 to move closer to each other, or the two output ends can be moved away from each other along the width direction of the junction box 1000 to drive the two clamping jaws 220 to move away from each other; when the two clamping jaws 220 are moved away from each other, the junction box 1000 can be clamped. 000, the two clamping jaws 220 can release the junction box 1000 when they move away from each other; the bending assembly 300 includes two bending mechanisms 320 and a bending drive member 310 provided on the base 100, the two bending mechanisms 320 are respectively provided at the two output ends of the bending drive member 310, the two output ends of the bending drive member 310 can approach each other along the length direction of the junction box 1000 to drive the two bending mechanisms 320 to approach each other, or the two output ends can move away from each other along the length direction of the junction box 1000 to drive the two bending mechanisms 320 to move away from each other, along the height direction of the junction box 1000, the bending portion 3232 of the bending mechanism 320 is higher than the clamping jaws 220.

[0041] In the junction box installation device, the two clamping jaws 220 of the clamping assembly 200 are used to clamp the junction box 1000, and the bending mechanism 320 of the bending assembly 300 is used to bend the bus bar on the junction box 1000, and the height of the bending portion 3232 of the bending mechanism 320 is higher than the height of the clamping jaws 220, so that when the clamping jaws 220 grasp the junction box 1000, the two bending mechanisms 320 can be located between the two bus bars. When the junction box 1000 is placed behind the photovoltaic panel or moved to the photovoltaic panel, the two bending mechanisms 320 move away from each other to bend the two bus bars, and there is no need to move the photovoltaic panel to the next workstation, so that the assembly process of the junction box 1000 is simplified and the assembly efficiency is greatly improved.

[0042] When in use, the junction box installation device can be installed at the end of the same robot. The integrally arranged clamping assembly 200 and bending assembly 300 can effectively save the number of robots and reduce costs.

[0043] In some embodiments, the base 100 includes a base 110 and a support frame 120 disposed below the base 110. The support frame 120 is provided with a through-mounting slot along the length of the junction box 1000. The bending driver 310 is disposed on the base 110 and positioned in the mounting slot. The clamping driver 210 is disposed at the lower end of the support frame 120 away from the base 110. This arrangement allows the clamping driver 210 and the bending driver 310 to be disposed sequentially up and down without interfering with each other. In particular, the lower clamping driver 210 needs to output a greater force than the upper bending driver 310, so that the length of the clamping claw 220 mounted on the clamping driver 210 can be appropriately reduced, which is beneficial for improving its structural stability and preventing deformation during the clamping process.

[0044] In order to avoid the clamping drive member 210, the two output ends of the bending drive member 310 are arranged on both sides of the clamping drive member 210 along the length direction of the junction box 1000 and are arranged opposite each other. The two bending mechanisms 320 are spaced and arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the junction box 1000.

[0045] In order to adapt to the size of the busbar and the positional relationship between the busbar and the junction box 1000, the bending mechanism 320 includes a first connecting member 321, a second connecting member 322 and a bending member 323 having a bending portion 3232. The first connecting member 321 is arranged at the output end of the bending drive member 310 and can be adjusted in the width direction of the junction box 1000. The second connecting member 322 is arranged on the first connecting member 321 and can be adjusted in the height direction of the junction box 1000. The bending member 323 is arranged on the second connecting member 322 and can be adjusted in the length direction of the junction box 1000. The bending portion 3232 is located below the clamping drive member 210.

[0046] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first connector 321 is provided with a first mounting hole extending along the width of the junction box 1000, and the first fastener is disposed through the first mounting hole and can be connected to the output end of the bending drive 310. In some embodiments, the second connector 322 is provided with a second mounting hole extending along the height of the junction box 1000, and the second fastener is disposed through the second mounting hole and can be connected to the first connector 321. In some embodiments, the bending member 323 is provided with a third mounting hole extending along the length of the junction box 1000, and the third fastener is disposed through the third mounting hole and can be connected to the second connector 322. The above-described method of respectively cooperating with the fasteners in the elongated first mounting hole, the elongated second mounting hole, and the elongated third mounting hole is simple in structure and easy to operate.

[0047] Two busbars extend upward from the upper side of the junction box 1000. After being bent in opposite directions, the two busbars can be connected to other components. In order to complete the bending of the two busbars at one time, in some embodiments, the bending member 323 includes a connecting portion 3231, which is plate-shaped and extends along the length of the junction box 1000, with a third mounting hole provided in the connecting portion 3231; a bending portion 3232 is provided at the end of the connecting portion 3231 away from the third mounting hole, and is plate-shaped and extends downward. The distance between the two opposing surfaces of the two bending portions 3232 gradually decreases from top to bottom, forming a tapered structure. This allows the two bending portions 3232 to more easily fit into the gap between the two busbars when the clamping jaws 220 move to the outside of the junction box 1000 during the downward movement of the junction box mounting device.

[0048] In order to achieve the limitation of the bending part 323, in some embodiments, the support frame 120 is provided with two limiting channels 121, and the two limiting channels 121 pass through the support frame 120 along the height direction of the junction box 1000, and the two limiting channels 121 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the junction box 1000, and the two first connecting members 321 are respectively passed through the two limiting channels 121; the two first connecting members 321 are arranged to be able to stop at the position of abutting the outer walls of the two limiting channels 121 when they are away from each other.

[0049] After clamping the junction box 1000, if the clamping position is too forward or too backward, the position may be deviated during the subsequent docking process, which may easily result in defective products. To address the above problem, in some embodiments, the junction box installation device further includes a positioning assembly 400, which is used to position the junction box 1000 along its length.

[0050] Positioning assembly 400 includes a fixed positioning member 410, a movable positioning member 420, and a positioning driver 430. Positioning driver 430 is disposed on base 100, and its output end can reciprocate along the length of junction box 1000. Fixed positioning member 410 and movable positioning member 420 are spaced apart along the length of junction box 1000. Fixed positioning member 410 is disposed on base 100, and movable positioning member 420 is disposed at the output end of positioning driver 430, so as to move synchronously with the output end of positioning driver 430. This arrangement allows for positioning of junction box 1000 before clamping, ensuring the relative position between junction box 1000 and clamping jaws 220. The fixed positioning member 410 is fixed in position, thereby ensuring the position of junction box 1000 relative to clamping jaws 220.

[0051] Considering that the end of the junction box 1000 has a protrusion, the fixed positioning member 410 is plate-shaped and is provided with an avoidance groove 411. The avoidance groove 411 is used to avoid the protrusion at the end of the junction box 1000, preventing the protrusion structure from contacting the fixed positioning member 410, thereby causing the junction box 1000 to tilt. The positioning drive member 430 is a telescopic drive structure. Along the width direction of the junction box 1000, the positioning drive member 430 and the clamping drive member 210 are arranged at intervals. The movable positioning member 420 is rod-shaped and extends along the width direction of the junction box 1000. One end of the movable positioning member 420 is connected to the output end of the positioning drive member 430, and the other end is located on the outside of the junction box 1000 along the length direction. This arrangement can simplify the installation position of the positioning drive member 430, and considering the positioning process, there is no need to output a large force. Therefore, the movable positioning member 420 with a cantilever structure can meet the force application while also simplifying the installation process.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
