[0002] At present, when transporting and circulating the laminated tooling of photovoltaic modules, the machine gripper is usually rigidly connected to the robot's manipulator bracket through bolts.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a clamping assembly 60, which includes a clamping structure 10, a mounting structure 20 and a positioning structure 30. The clamping portion of the clamping structure 10 encloses a clamping space for clamping the part to be clamped 50. The clamping structure 10 can be movably arranged on the mounting structure 20; the clamping structure 10 has a clamping position in which the part to be clamped 50 is located in the clamping space and an avoidance position in which the part to be clamped 50 and the clamping space avoid each other. The positioning structure 30 is arranged on the side of the clamping structure 10 and is connected to the clamping structure 10, and the positioning end of the positioning structure 30 is used to abut against the part to be clamped 50 so that the clamping structure 10 moves from the avoidance position to the clamping position.

[0055] The clamping assembly 60 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention can, through the provision of the positioning structure 30, enable the clamping structure 10 to flexibly adapt to the different sizes and shapes of the parts to be clamped 50, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the clamping assembly 60 and meeting the needs of different production lines. In an actual production line, the clamping assembly 60 provided in this embodiment can quickly respond to the handling needs of different products without the need to stop for adjustments, greatly improving the flexibility and production efficiency of the production line, while reducing product damage caused by improper clamping and reducing production costs. Therefore, the clamping assembly 60 provided in this embodiment can solve the technical problem of low efficiency in transporting laminated tooling in the prior art.

[0056] Specifically, the part to be clamped 50 is a photovoltaic cell. Specifically, the part to be clamped 50 is a laminating tool.

[0057] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 is movably positioned toward or away from the mounting structure 20. This configuration allows for fine-tuning based on the size of the clamped component 50, ensuring accurate clamping and positioning. In practical applications, fine-tuning the positioning structure 30 allows for more precise clamping of the component 50, ensuring production quality and efficiency.

[0058] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 includes a first positioning member 31 and a second positioning member 32, and the clamping structure 10 is located between the first positioning member 31 and the second positioning member 32; at least a portion of the first positioning member 31 and at least a portion of the second positioning member 32 are arranged relative to each other; the positioning end of the first positioning member 31 and the positioning end of the second positioning member 32 are both used to abut against the part to be clamped 50. With such a structural arrangement, the stability and positioning accuracy of the part to be clamped 50 during the clamping process can be ensured through the cooperation of the first positioning member 31 and the second positioning member 32, and it is suitable for the transportation of components that require high-precision positioning, such as photovoltaic cells. At the same time, the first positioning member 31 and the second positioning member 32 complement each other and can better adapt to the part to be clamped 50 in different situations, ensuring stable clamping of the part to be clamped 50.

[0059] Specifically, along the direction from the clamping structure 10 to the positioning structure 30, the spacing between the first positioning member 31 and the second positioning member 32 is greater than or equal to 40 mm. This allows for sufficient space between the first positioning member 31 and the second positioning member 32 to facilitate the normal operation of the clamping structure 10, thereby reducing interference between the structures.

[0060] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 has a first limit position that maximizes the spacing between the positioning structure 30 and the mounting structure 20, and a second limit position that minimizes the spacing between the positioning structure 30 and the mounting structure 20. The spacing between the first limit position and the second limit position is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. This structural arrangement can meet the positioning requirements of most laminating tooling while ensuring the compactness and operational flexibility of the clamping assembly 60. In actual operation, this design enables the positioning structure 30 to be quickly adjusted within a limited space, making it suitable for high-density operating environments on production lines, meeting the needs of rapid response, and improving the operating efficiency of the production line.

[0061] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 is movably provided along a preset direction, and a distance between the first limit position and the second limit position along the preset direction is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.

[0062] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 is a bending member. In this way, the force transmission method can be optimized by setting the bending angle of the bending member, so that the force distribution when the positioning end contacts the clamped member 50 is more reasonable, avoiding unnecessary damage to the clamped member 50.

[0063] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 30 includes a connecting plate 33 and a limiting plate 34, which are interconnected. The connecting plate 33 is used to connect to the clamping structure 10, and the limiting plate 34 forms the positioning end of the positioning structure 30. The connecting plate 33 and the limiting plate 34 are arranged at a preset angle, which is greater than 0° and less than 180°. This structural arrangement ensures stable contact between the positioning end and the clamped object 50 through the setting of the limiting plate 34. At the same time, the preset angle can be adjusted to meet different clamping requirements, making the use of the clamping assembly 60 more flexible.

[0064] Specifically, in order to increase the contact area between the limiting plate 34 and the part to be clamped 50 , the preset angle is 90°.

[0065] Specifically, the connecting plate 33 is a T-shaped plate. Specifically, the connecting plate 33 comprises a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate that are interconnected, with the side of the first connecting plate protruding from the side of the second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is used to connect to the clamping structure 10, while the second connecting plate extends beyond at least a portion of the clamping structure 10. This structural arrangement facilitates a secure connection between the positioning structure 30 and the clamping structure 10, while also reducing the space occupied by the positioning structure 30 and its own weight.

[0066] Specifically, to facilitate connection with the clamping structure 10, the first connecting plate is provided with a connection hole for passing a fastener through, thereby connecting the first connecting plate and the clamping structure 10 via the fastener. Specifically, the connection hole is a strip-shaped hole. This structural arrangement facilitates adjustment of the position of the fastener within the connection hole, thereby facilitating adjustment of the position of the positioning structure 30 relative to the mounting structure 20.

[0067] Specifically, the fastener is a bolt.

[0068] Specifically, in order to reduce the deadweight of the positioning structure 30 , weight-reducing holes are provided on the second connecting plate.

[0069] Specifically, the limiting plate 34 is located on the side of the connecting plate 33 away from the clamping structure 10. This structural arrangement optimizes the structural layout, provides greater operating space for the movement of the clamping structure 10, prevents interference between the limiting plate 34 and the clamping structure 10 during movement, and ensures that the clamping structure 10 smoothly transitions between the avoidance position and the clamping position. This arrangement also facilitates adjusting the angle of the limiting plate 34 according to different clamping requirements, such as the shape, size, and material of the clamped part 50, to accommodate various clamping scenarios, thereby improving the versatility and adaptability of the clamping assembly 60.

[0070] Specifically, the width of the limiting plate 34 is greater than or equal to 30 mm along the direction from the clamping structure 10 to the positioning structure 30 . Thus, the width of the limiting plate 34 can be designed to provide sufficient contact area to ensure the positioning effect of the positioning structure 30 .

[0071] Specifically, the clamping portion has a first clamping end and a second clamping end, which are respectively used to be arranged on both sides of at least part of the part to be clamped 50 so that at least part of the part to be clamped 50 is located in the clamping space.

[0072] Specifically, the length of the limiting plate 34 from the first clamping end to the second clamping end of the clamping portion is greater than or equal to 20 mm and less than or equal to 50 mm. This structural arrangement ensures that the positioning structure 30 has a sufficient contact area by designing the length of the limiting plate 34, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the positioning structure 30.

[0073] Specifically, the positioning structure 30 further includes a buffer, which is arranged on a surface of the limiting plate 34 close to the to-be-clamped part 50. With such a structural arrangement, the buffer can further improve the protection of the to-be-clamped part 50 and avoid damaging the surface of the to-be-clamped part 50.

[0074] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 60 further includes a telescopic structure 40, which is disposed between the mounting structure 20 and the clamping structure 10. The mounting structure 20 and the clamping structure 10 are respectively connected to the telescopic portion of the telescopic structure 40; the telescopic portion of the telescopic structure 40 is configured to be telescopic. This structural arrangement facilitates the telescopic structure 40 to extend and retract through the interaction between the telescopic structure 40 and the positioning structure 30, and through the contact between the positioning structure 30 and the object to be clamped 50. This allows the clamping structure 10, which is in the avoidance position, to move to the clamping position, thereby providing stable clamping of the object to be clamped 50.

[0075] Specifically, the telescopic structure 40 includes a guide seat 41 and a guide member 42. The guide seat 41 is disposed on one of the mounting structure 20 and the clamping structure 10. One end of the guide member 42 is connected to the other of the mounting structure 20 and the clamping structure 10, and the other end of the guide member 42 is movably disposed within the guide seat 41. The telescopic structure 40 also includes an elastic member 43. One end of the elastic member 43 overlaps or connects to the other of the mounting structure 20 and the clamping structure 10, and the other end of the elastic member 43 overlaps or connects to the guide seat 41. With such a structural arrangement, the guide seat 41 and the guide member 42 can be used in conjunction to ensure linear motion of the clamping structure 10 relative to the mounting structure 20, thereby improving clamping accuracy and avoiding clamping failure or damage to the clamped part 50 due to deviation in the motion path. The arrangement of the elastic member 43 provides a buffering effect for the movement of the clamping structure 10, and can play a role in flexible adjustment to adapt to positional errors of the clamped part 50, thereby allowing the position of the clamping structure 10 to be adjusted without human intervention to facilitate stable clamping of the clamped part 50. Furthermore, the elastic member 43 can provide a restoring force after the clamping structure 10 completes the clamping action, so that the clamping structure 10 automatically returns to its original position, thereby achieving a fast and continuous clamping action and improving transportation efficiency.

[0076] Specifically, there are at least two guide seats 41, guide members 42 and elastic members 43, and the at least two guide seats 41, at least two guide members 42 and at least two elastic members 43 are all arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, the arrangement of at least two guide seats 41, at least two guide members 42 and at least two elastic members 43 can improve the stability of the clamping structure 10 during movement. The force can be evenly distributed on the clamping structure 10, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by single-point force. In addition, such an arrangement can provide greater telescopic force and load-bearing capacity. This is especially important for clamping larger or heavier parts 50 to be clamped, and can ensure that the clamping structure 10 can withstand the weight of the part 50 to be clamped without deformation or failure during the clamping process. And in this way, even if one of the components fails or fails, the other components can continue to work, ensuring the normal operation of the clamping assembly 60 and improving the reliability and safety of the system.

[0077] Specifically, the guide member 42 is a rod-shaped structure. With this structural arrangement, the rod-shaped structure exhibits excellent linear guiding properties, ensuring that the clamping structure 10 moves along a predetermined track during movement, avoiding offset or shaking during the telescopic process, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and stability of the clamping assembly 60. Furthermore, the rod-shaped structure generally has high strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding the forces generated by the clamping structure 10 when clamping and releasing the clamped member 50, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the telescopic structure 40. The rod-shaped structure design makes the installation and maintenance of the guide member 42 relatively simple, and facilitates its cooperation with the guide seat 41, reducing assembly complexity and time, and lowering production costs.

[0078] Specifically, the elastic member 43 is sleeved on the guide member 42. In this way, the space can be effectively utilized, making the structure of the entire clamping assembly 60 more compact, and facilitating the clamping operation in a limited space.

[0079] Specifically, the elastic member 43 is a spring structure.

[0080] Specifically, the guide seat 41 is a disc structure.

[0081] Specifically, the guide seat 41 is arranged on the mounting structure 20, one end of the guide member 42 is connected to the clamping structure 10, and the other end of the guide member 42 is movably arranged in the guide seat 41. One end of the elastic member 43 is overlapped or connected to the clamping structure 10, and the other end of the elastic member 43 is overlapped or connected to the guide seat 41. With such a structural arrangement, the linear movement of the clamping structure 10 relative to the mounting structure 20 can be ensured through the coordinated use of the guide seat 41 and the guide member 42, thereby improving the clamping accuracy and avoiding clamping failure or damage to the part to be clamped 50 due to deviation in the movement path. The arrangement of the elastic member 43 provides a buffering effect for the movement of the clamping structure 10, and can play a role of flexible adjustment to adapt to the position error of the part to be clamped 50, so that the position of the clamping structure 10 can be adjusted without human intervention, so as to stably clamp the part to be clamped 50. Furthermore, the elastic member 43 can provide a restoring force after the clamping structure 10 completes the clamping action, so that the clamping structure 10 automatically returns to its original position, thereby achieving a fast and continuous clamping action and improving transportation efficiency.

[0082] Specifically, the telescopic structure 40 further includes a connecting portion 44, which is connected to the connecting portion 44 and is used to connect to the clamping structure 10. The telescopic portion and the clamping structure 10 are located on either side of the connecting portion 44. With this structural arrangement, the connecting portion 44 serves as a bridge between the telescopic structure 40 and the clamping structure 10, enhancing the stability of the connection between the two, ensuring precise movement of the clamping structure 10 during the telescopic process, and preventing insufficient clamping force or damage to the clamped member 50 due to an unstable connection. Furthermore, the connecting portion 44 not only serves as a connection but also provides additional structural support for the clamping structure 10. This prevents deformation or damage to the clamping structure 10 due to excessive force, especially when subjected to high clamping forces during the clamping process.

[0083] Specifically, the connecting portion 44 is a plate-shaped structure having two side surfaces that are opposite to each other. The telescopic portion and the clamping structure 10 are respectively connected to the two side surfaces of the connecting portion 44 .

[0084] In this embodiment, the clamping structure 10 includes a driver 11 and a clamping arm 12 that are interconnected. The clamping arm 12 forms the clamping portion of the clamping structure 10. The driving end of the driver 11 is movably arranged and is drivingly connected to the clamping arm 12. With this structural arrangement, the movement of the driver 11 can be precisely controlled to achieve precise adjustment of the clamping force and position, thereby reducing damage to the clamping member 50 during the clamping process. This is particularly important when handling fragile precision components such as photovoltaic cells.

[0085] Specifically, the clamping arm 12 is located on the side of the driving member 11 away from the mounting structure 20. This layout helps optimize the space utilization of the internal structure of the clamping assembly 60, making the assembly as a whole more compact, especially in application scenarios where the clamping function needs to be achieved in a limited space, and can better adapt to the layout requirements of the equipment.

[0086] Specifically, the driving member 11 is a cylinder.

[0087] Specifically, the operating rhythm of the clamping structure 10 is less than or equal to 1 second, that is, the operating duration of one operating cycle in which the clamping arm 12 of the clamping structure 10 moves from the initial position to the clamping position for clamping the part to be clamped 50 and then returns to the initial position.

[0088] In this embodiment, the clamping structure 10 includes an interconnected driving member 11 and a clamping arm 12. The clamping arm 12 forms the clamping portion of the clamping structure 10. There are at least two clamping arms 12, which are spaced apart. This structural arrangement, with at least two spaced apart clamping arms 12, provides multi-point support and clamping, making the clamped object 50 more stable during clamping and reducing shaking and potential damage during transportation.

[0089] Specifically, the clamping precision deviation of the clamping structure 10 is less than or equal to 0.5 mm, that is, the size deviation of the clamping space enclosed by the clamping arms 12 of the clamping structure 10 compared to the outer edge size of the clamped component 50 is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.

[0090] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a transport device for transporting photovoltaic cells, and the transport device includes the clamping assembly 60 provided in the first embodiment.

[0091] The transport device provided in Example 2 of the present invention can, through the provision of the positioning structure 30, enable the clamping structure 10 to flexibly adapt to the different sizes and shapes of the clamped parts 50, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the clamping assembly 60 and meeting the needs of different production lines. In actual production lines, the transport device provided in this embodiment can quickly respond to the handling needs of different products without the need to stop for adjustments, greatly improving the flexibility and production efficiency of the production line, while reducing product damage caused by improper clamping and lowering production costs. Therefore, the transport device provided in this embodiment can solve the technical problem of low efficiency in transporting laminated tooling in the prior art.

[0092] Specifically, there are multiple clamping assemblies 60, which are spaced apart around the outer edge of the workpiece 50. With this structural arrangement, when there are height differences at different locations on the outer edge of the workpiece 50, the positioning structure 30 can adjust the clamping assemblies 60 so that the clamping assemblies 60 that fail to clamp the workpiece 50 can enter the clamping space and be clamped by the abutment of the positioning structure 30, thereby allowing the workpiece 50 to be smoothly transported.

[0093] Specifically, there are four clamping assemblies 60, and the four clamping assemblies 60 are evenly spaced around the outer edge of the part to be clamped 50. Since the length of the laminator assembly tooling is between 2.1m and 2.5m (including 2.1m and 2.5m) and the width is between 1.1m and 1.4m (including 1.1m and 1.4m), clamping is performed by four clamping assemblies 60. Sometimes, there are position and height errors between the four corresponding positions of the laminating tooling and the clamping assemblies 60. Conventional fixed clamping assemblies 60 cannot adapt to these errors, resulting in an inability to clamp. In this embodiment, due to the provision of the positioning structure 30 and the movable setting of the clamping structure 10, the clamping assembly 60 can adapt to the position and height errors on the tooling, thereby facilitating stable clamping of the part to be clamped 50.

[0094] Specifically, the transport device further comprises a robot, which is movably arranged. The mounting structure 20 of the clamping assembly 60 is connected to the robot. With such a structural arrangement, the movement of the clamping assembly 60 can be precisely controlled by the robot, thereby improving the handling efficiency.

[0095] Specifically, the mounting structure 20 is connected to the manipulator of the robot. Specifically, the mounting structure 20 is connected to the manipulator arm truss of the manipulator.

[0096] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: improving the flow stability and reliability of the laminating machine assembly tooling, reducing the damage rate of the gripper and the laminating assembly tooling, thereby improving the high-quality production efficiency of the laminating assembly and reducing costs.

For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0101] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0102] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
