[0002] Solar photovoltaic panels are devices that use the photovoltaic effect to convert sunlight into electrical energy. They are widely used in various scenarios, including homes, businesses, and industries. In today's era, the solar photovoltaic industry is showing a strong momentum of vigorous development. As it continues to move forward, the demand for the installation and disassembly of solar photovoltaic modules is also increasing day by day. The traditional method of disassembling and disassembling photovoltaic modules is not only relatively inefficient, but also very likely to cause varying degrees of damage to the photovoltaic modules during operation.

[0003] A Chinese patent (publication number: CN217596964U) discloses a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules, which solves the current problem that the worker has to fix the connecting wire with one hand, which is very difficult to operate and greatly reduces the disassembly and assembly efficiency. At the same time, when the worker's other hand is sweaty, it is easy for the hand to slide relative to the plug, making it difficult to directly disassemble the plug. However, the following technical problems still exist: when the connecting wire is removed and then moved to the top of the workbench, it may fall out of the hand or cause an accident, posing a safety risk. At the same time, after the connecting wire is disassembled, when the photovoltaic panel is disassembled for the second time, the operator needs to move around the equipment to perform disassembly and assembly work, which not only requires frequent body movement but also requires disassembly work. This not only reduces work efficiency but also makes the worker feel tired. For this reason, we propose a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules.

[0004] In response to the above technical problems, the present application provides a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the deficiencies in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules, which solves the technical problem that operators need to move around the equipment to perform disassembly and assembly work, which not only requires frequent body movement but also requires disassembly work, which not only reduces work efficiency but also makes the workers feel tired.

The section A robotic arm, the section B robotic arm and the section C robotic arm are all connected in the middle by a rotating block and a rotating bearing. The section C robotic arm is provided with a threaded rod, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the transfer suction cup.

By installing a robotic arm above the chassis, and quickly installing a suction cup on the front side of the robotic arm through a threaded rod, it is possible to more conveniently pick up photovoltaic panels and place them on the pallet, avoiding the need for manual handling and reducing safety risks during the reversing process. At the same time, the suction cup can also be replaced with other tools, which not only improves the versatility of the equipment, but also greatly improves work efficiency. At the same time, a detachable counterweight is also provided above the chassis to prevent the robotic arm from tipping over or other accidents when grabbing goods, thereby causing personal injury or damage to equipment.

[0019] Second, by providing a rotating rod in the middle of the workbench, with the two sides of the rotating rod connected to the tray and the motor respectively, when the operator places the photovoltaic module on the tray for disassembly and assembly, the motor can be used to rotate it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1, a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules, comprising a workbench 1 and a chassis 2, characterized in that: a tray 3 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1, the tray 3 being driven by a power device, the driving power device driving the tray 3 to rotate, and the photovoltaic module is placed on the tray 3, eliminating the need for the operator to perform disassembly work around the workbench 1, thereby improving disassembly efficiency; the tray 3 is provided with a fixing device that cooperates with the photovoltaic module, which is used to stabilize the photovoltaic module on the tray 3 when disassembling the photovoltaic module, ensuring stability during the disassembly process, and allowing the photovoltaic module to be quickly separated from the tray 3 after disassembly;

[0033] The chassis 2 is provided with a robotic arm body 4, and the output end of the robotic arm body 4 is detachably connected to a transfer suction cup 5. The photovoltaic components on the ground or in the storage area are moved to the pallet 3 through the robotic arm body 4, without the need for manual handling, thus saving manpower.

[0034] During use, the controller controls the robotic arm body 4 to move the photovoltaic components on the ground or in the storage area to the pallet 3. Under the action of the fixing device, the photovoltaic components moved to the pallet 3 are fixed together with the pallet 3 to ensure that when the power device is driven, the photovoltaic components can rotate together with the pallet 3. There is no need for the operator to carry out disassembly work around the workbench 1, which improves the disassembly efficiency. Under the action of the robotic arm body 4, there is no need for manual handling, which saves manpower.

[0035] As a further embodiment, the fixing device includes four groups of storage slots 6 opened on the workbench 1, the four groups of storage slots 6 are fixedly connected with electromagnets 7, the workbench 1 is slidably connected with a fixed plate 8 corresponding to the storage slots 6, the fixed plate 8 is provided with an armature 9 corresponding to the electromagnet 7, a return spring 10 is provided between the electromagnet 7 and the armature 9, and the electromagnet 7 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0036] When in use, the photovoltaic module is placed in the center of the tray 3, and the electromagnet 7 is energized by the controller. When the electromagnet 7 is energized, magnetism is generated, which produces a repulsive force with the armature 9, driving the fixing plate 8 to slide along the storage groove 6. The fixing plate 8 cooperates with the side wall of the photovoltaic module to clamp it, which is convenient for the operator to disassemble and sort the inside of the photovoltaic module; after the work is completed, when the photovoltaic module needs to be separated from the tray 3, the electromagnet 7 is de-energized by the controller, and the fixing plate 8 is separated from the photovoltaic module under the action of the return spring 10, so that quick disassembly is achieved and work efficiency is improved;

[0037] There is another setting mode, in which a damping rod is further provided between the receiving groove 6 and the fixing plate 8. At this time, the electromagnet 7 is de-energized through the controller and loses its magnetism. Under the elastic force of the damping rod and the return spring 10, the fixing plate 8 contacts the side wall of the photovoltaic module to achieve the purpose of clamping. When the tray 3 needs to be separated from the photovoltaic module, the driving controller energizes the magnet to generate magnetism, which is attracted to the armature 9. The fixing plate 8 will overcome the elastic force of the return spring 10 and the damping rod, so that the fixing plate 8 is separated from the photovoltaic module, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembling the photovoltaic panel.

[0038] The damping rod mentioned above can be added or not according to the actual situation and the size of the photovoltaic panel, which does not affect the above two controls on the electromagnet 7, thereby achieving the clamping of the photovoltaic component. Under the action of the damping rod, the stability of the photovoltaic component is further improved.

[0039] As a further embodiment, the length of the fixing plate 8 does not exceed the length of the workbench 1, and an anti-slip pad is provided on the fixing plate 8 to further improve the clamping force.

[0040] As a further embodiment, the robotic arm body 4 includes a section A robotic arm 12, a section B robotic arm 13 and a section C robotic arm 14. The section A robotic arm 12, the section B robotic arm 13 and the section C robotic arm 14 are all connected by a rotating block 15 and a rotating bearing 16. The section C robotic arm 14 is provided with a threaded rod 17, and the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the transfer suction cup 5.

[0041] When in use, detachable counterweights are provided on both sides of one end of the chassis 2, which can be easily installed or removed when adjusting the stability of the chassis 2 according to different working scenarios;

[0042] A robotic arm base is set in the middle position of one side of the chassis 2. Above the robotic arm base, section A robotic arm 12, section B robotic arm 13 and section C robotic arm 14 are installed in sequence. These three sections of robotic arms cooperate with each other to complete various complex operating tasks. On the front side of section C robotic arm 14, a threaded rod 17 is installed. One side of the threaded rod 17 is firmly connected to a transfer suction cup 5. The transfer suction cup 5 is convenient for picking up photovoltaic modules. At the same time, according to actual needs, the transfer suction cup 5 can also be quickly replaced with other tools, which greatly improves the versatility of the equipment. On one side of section C robotic arm 14, a handle for easy operation is also installed in the middle position of the fixed frame 18.

[0043] As a further embodiment, the power device includes a fixing frame 18 provided at the bottom of the workbench 1, a motor 19 is provided on the fixing frame 18, the tray 3 is driven by the motor 19, and the motor 19 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0044] When in use, a fixing frame 18 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 1, and a motor 19 is installed on the fixing frame 18. A rotating rod is installed on one side of the motor 19, and one side of the rotating rod is tightly connected to a practical tray 3. When the operator places items such as photovoltaic components on the tray 3 for disassembly and assembly, the motor 19 can provide stable power to enable the rotating rod to drive the tray 3 to rotate. By installing a fixing device above the tray 3, the photovoltaic components can be better fixed, which makes it more convenient for the operator to perform disassembly and assembly work. The operator does not need to walk around the equipment while operating, which effectively avoids unnecessary physical exertion and provides a more convenient and efficient working method for the operator.

[0045] Example 2 is a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules. Based on Example 1, the fixing device includes an array of fixing suction cups 11 arranged on the tray 3 at intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0046] When in use, the rubber fixing suction cup 11 is installed above the tray 3, which can better fix the photovoltaic component. With this structure, the photovoltaic component can be quickly fixed or disassembled. However, vacuum suction cups are generally used for fixing, and the cost of vacuum equipment is higher than that of electromagnets 7.

[0047] Example 3, a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic components, based on Example 1, a storage box 20 is provided on the chassis 2, two drawers 21 are provided inside the storage box 20, and a tool placement table 22 is installed above the storage box 20.

[0048] When in use, two drawers 21 are set inside the storage box 20. These two drawers 21 can store different objects, making the workplace more tidy. A tool placement table 22 is installed above the storage box 20. This tool placement table 22 provides the operator with a convenient and quick tool access area, so that the required tools can be quickly found during the work process, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0049] Example 4 is a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules. Based on Example 1, hydraulic rods 23 are installed on the four sides of the bottom of the workbench 1, and a foot pad 24 is installed on one side of the hydraulic rod 23.

[0050] When in use, reliable hydraulic rods 23 are installed around the bottom of the workbench 1. These hydraulic rods 23 can be adjusted in height according to work needs to provide the operator with a comfortable working height. On one side of the hydraulic rods 23, sturdy and durable foot pads 24 are installed. The foot pads 24 can effectively prevent the workbench 1 from shaking during work, ensuring the stability and safety of the work.

[0051] Example 5, a disassembly and assembly tool for solar photovoltaic modules, based on Example 1, universal wheels 25 are respectively installed on the four sides of the bottom of the chassis 2, and a brake 26 is installed on one side of the universal wheel 25.

[0052] When in use, flexible and convenient universal wheels 25 are installed around the bottom of the chassis 2. These universal wheels 25 allow the entire device to be easily moved to different working positions, greatly improving the flexibility and maneuverability of the device. A reliable brake 26 is installed on one side of the universal wheel 25. When the device is moved to the desired position, the universal wheel 25 can be fixed by the brake 26 to prevent the device from moving during work, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the work.

[0053] As a further embodiment, a control panel is provided on the workbench 1, and the control panel is electrically connected to the controller.

[0054] When in use, a controller that is easy to operate is installed obliquely on the front side of the workbench 1. The position of this controller is reasonably designed, and the operator can easily operate and control the motor 19, the hydraulic rod 23 and the electromagnet 7 during work.
