Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flexible photovoltaic component handling equipment, in particular to a handling device. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of technology, photovoltaic modules are becoming thinner, lighter, and more flexible, leading to the emergence of flexible photovoltaic modules. However, since flexible photovoltaic modules use flexible metal sheets as their substrate, their overall rigidity is insufficient, making them susceptible to distortion during handling, which can damage the module's physical structure. However, distortion can also cause tiny cracks in the photovoltaic cells within. These cracks are not easily visible to the naked eye, but can seriously affect the performance and lifespan of the module.
[0003] That is to say, in the prior art, there is a problem that the flexible components are easily twisted and deformed during transportation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a transport device to solve the problem in the prior art that flexible components are easily twisted and deformed during transport.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to one aspect of the present invention, a transport device is provided, which is used to transport flexible photovoltaic modules. The transport device includes:
[0006] transport racks;
[0007] A plurality of electromagnetic components are arranged on the transport frame at intervals, and the plurality of electromagnetic components are located on the same side of the transport frame;
[0008] The adjusting assembly is arranged on the transport frame, each electromagnetic component is electrically connected to the adjusting assembly, and the adjusting assembly is used to adjust the magnetism of the electromagnetic component.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes: a control module, which is arranged on the transport frame; connecting wires, the control module is connected to each electromagnetic component through the connecting wires, and multiple electromagnetic components are connected in series.
[0010] Furthermore, the control module includes: a power supply, which is arranged on the transport rack; a switch, which is arranged on the transport rack and spaced apart from the power supply, and is electrically connected to the power supply via a connecting wire.
[0011] Furthermore, the transport rack has a connecting channel, and the connecting wires are located in the connecting channel.
[0012] Furthermore, the transport rack has a plurality of connection holes communicated with the connection channel, and a portion of the electromagnetic component is located in the connection hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the transport rack includes: at least two first pipes, at least two first pipes are arranged at intervals along the first direction; at least one second pipe, the second pipe is located between two adjacent first pipes, and the two ends of the second pipe are respectively connected to the two adjacent first pipes, and both the first pipe and the second pipe have connecting holes.
[0014] Furthermore, when there are multiple second pipes between two adjacent first pipes, the multiple second pipes are arranged in parallel and at intervals along the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are arranged to intersect.
[0015] Furthermore, the transport rack also includes two third pipes, both ends of the first pipe are connected to the third pipes respectively, and the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe are connected to form a connecting channel.
[0016] Furthermore, the control module is connected to the third pipeline or the first pipeline.
[0017] Furthermore, the third pipeline is parallel to the second pipeline.
[0018] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, a transport device is used to transport flexible photovoltaic modules. The transport device includes a transport frame, multiple electromagnetic components and an adjustment component. The multiple electromagnetic components are arranged on the transport frame at intervals, and the multiple electromagnetic components are located on the same side of the transport frame; the adjustment component is arranged on the transport frame, and each electromagnetic component is electrically connected to the adjustment component. The adjustment component is used to adjust the magnetism of the electromagnetic component.
[0019] By providing multiple electromagnetic components to attract flexible photovoltaic modules, they can be attracted to the flexible photovoltaic modules at multiple locations, ensuring uniform force on the flexible photovoltaic modules and reducing the risk of deformation during transportation. Furthermore, the electromagnetic components have low requirements for the flatness of the flexible photovoltaic modules, which helps reduce the production cost of the modules. When the flexible photovoltaic modules need to be transported, the adjustment component energizes the electromagnetic components, making them magnetic. This generates a magnetic attraction between the electromagnetic components and the flexible metal plates of the flexible photovoltaic modules, causing the electromagnetic components to attract and transport the flexible photovoltaic modules. When the flexible photovoltaic modules are transported to a predetermined location, the adjustment component cuts off the current to the electromagnetic components, instantly demagnetizing them and preventing them from attracting the flexible photovoltaic modules.
[0020] In addition, the adjustment component can not only control whether the electromagnetic component has magnetism, but also control the size of the magnetism on the electromagnetic component. Then, the adsorption force of the electromagnetic component on the flexible photovoltaic component can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the flexible photovoltaic component, thereby avoiding unnecessary stress or damage to the flexible photovoltaic component during transportation.

[0028] 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.
[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.
[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are usually used with reference to the directions shown in the drawings, or with reference to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.
[0031] When transporting the flexible photovoltaic module 40, manual transport is usually adopted, and the points of action of manual transport are at both ends of the flexible photovoltaic module 40. Since the flexible photovoltaic module 40 uses a flexible metal plate as a base material, the flexible photovoltaic module 40 has weak rigidity and is easily twisted and deformed during manual transport, causing hidden cracks in the photovoltaic cell.
[0032] In addition, the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 can also be transported by a suction cup. However, the use of a suction cup for transport requires ensuring the smoothness and flatness of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40, which places high requirements on the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 and is not conducive to reducing costs.
[0033] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that flexible components are easily twisted and deformed during transportation, the utility model provides a transportation device.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the transport device is used to transport the flexible photovoltaic module 40. The transport device includes a transport frame 10, multiple electromagnetic components 20 and an adjustment component 30. The multiple electromagnetic components 20 are arranged at intervals on the transport frame 10, and the multiple electromagnetic components 20 are located on the same side of the transport frame 10; the adjustment component 30 is arranged on the transport frame 10, and each electromagnetic component 20 is electrically connected to the adjustment component 30. The adjustment component 30 is used to adjust the magnetism of the electromagnetic component 20.
[0035] By providing multiple electromagnetic components 20 to adsorb the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40, the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 can be adsorbed at multiple locations, so that the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 is evenly stressed, reducing the risk of deformation of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 during transportation. In addition, the electromagnetic components 20 have low requirements for the flatness of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the photovoltaic assembly. When the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 needs to be transported, the adjustment component 30 energizes the electromagnetic component 20, making the electromagnetic component 20 magnetic, thereby generating a magnetic attraction between the electromagnetic component 20 and the flexible metal plate of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40. The electromagnetic component 20 adsorbs the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 and transports it. When the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 is transported to a preset position, the adjustment component 30 cuts off the current on the electromagnetic component 20, thereby instantly demagnetizing the electromagnetic component 20 and no longer adsorbing the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40.
[0036] In addition, the adjustment component 30 can not only control whether there is magnetism on the electromagnetic component 20, but also control the size of the magnetism on the electromagnetic component 20, and then adjust the adsorption force of the electromagnetic component 20 on the flexible photovoltaic component 40 according to the size and weight of the flexible photovoltaic component 40, thereby avoiding unnecessary stress or damage to the flexible photovoltaic component 40 during transportation.
[0037] Optionally, the end of the electromagnetic member 20 away from the transport rack 10 is located on the same plane, which is beneficial for uniform distribution of the adsorption force.
[0038] In some optional embodiments, the adjustment assembly 30 includes a control module 31 and connecting wires. The control module 31 is disposed on the transport frame 10. The control module 31 is connected to each electromagnetic component 20 via the connecting wires, and multiple electromagnetic components 20 are connected in series. The multiple electromagnetic components 20 are connected in series via the connecting wires, so that adjustments made by the control module 31 have an immediate and consistent effect on all electromagnetic components 20, achieving unified control of the magnetism of all electromagnetic components 20 and effectively avoiding uneven force on the flexible photovoltaic module 40. Furthermore, the series arrangement can also improve the response speed and control accuracy of the transport device, making it suitable for transporting flexible photovoltaic modules 40 on fast production lines, ensuring the synchronization and stability of the transport action, reducing production interruptions, and improving the overall operating efficiency of the production line.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 The control module 31 includes a power supply 311 and a switch 312. The power supply 311 is provided on the transport frame 10. The switch 312 is provided on the transport frame 10, and the switch 312 is spaced apart from the power supply 311. The switch 312 and the power supply 311 are electrically connected via a connecting wire. By directly providing the power supply 311 and the switch 312 on the transport frame 10, not only is the external connection of the transport device simplified, but it also facilitates the operator to adjust the magnetism of the electromagnetic member 20 at any time during the transport process, thereby improving the flexibility and safety of the transport and being suitable for the transport of flexible photovoltaic modules 40 in various complex environments. Integrating the power supply 311 and the switch 312 on the transport frame 10 reduces the complexity of external wiring, making the transport device more flexible in complex and changing working environments. The operator can quickly respond to the transport requirements of different flexible photovoltaic modules 40 and perform magnetic adjustments, thereby avoiding transport interruptions caused by external power supply or control line failures and ensuring the continuity and safety of the transport operation.
[0040] Optionally, the power source 311 is a rechargeable mobile power source.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, the transport rack 10 has a connection channel, and the connecting wires are located within the connection channel. By providing a connection channel inside the transport rack 10, the connecting wires can be hidden within the connection channel, which not only protects the connecting wires from damage by the external environment, but also reduces the interference of the connecting wires with the transport operation, improves the stability and durability of the transport device, and is suitable for industrial environments with frequent transport operations. The provision of the connection channel effectively avoids the risk of the connecting wires being worn or torn during transport, and enhances the adaptability and durability of the transport device in industrial environments. Especially in environments with frequent transport and movement, this design effectively reduces maintenance costs, increases the service life of the equipment, and ensures long-term stable working conditions.
[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the transport rack 10 has multiple connection holes that communicate with the connection channel, with a portion of the electromagnetic element 20 positioned within the connection holes. This arrangement facilitates connection between the electromagnetic element 20 and the connecting wires within the connection channel, while also concealing the connecting wires within the connection channel. Furthermore, the snap-fit connection between the electromagnetic element 20 and the connection holes facilitates installation and maintenance of the electromagnetic element 20, including easy replacement of damaged electromagnetic elements 20.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the transport rack 10 includes at least two first pipes 11 and at least one second pipe 12. The at least two first pipes 11 are arranged at intervals along a first direction; the second pipe 12 is located between two adjacent first pipes 11, and the two ends of the second pipe 12 are respectively connected to the two adjacent first pipes 11. The first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 both have connection holes. Since the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 are arranged in different directions and both have connection holes, it is beneficial to uniformly distribute the electromagnetic components 20, thereby ensuring that the adsorption force of the electromagnetic components 20 is evenly distributed on the transport device when the electromagnetic components 20 are operating. This helps to avoid the risk of deformation of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 caused by excessive adsorption force in local areas, and can also prevent the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40 from tilting or sliding during transportation due to uneven adsorption force.
[0044] In addition, the pipe design not only provides an installation location for the electromagnetic component 20, but also facilitates hiding the connecting wires.
[0045] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 When multiple second pipes 12 are provided between two adjacent first pipes 11, the multiple second pipes 12 are arranged parallel and spaced apart along the second direction, with the first direction and the second direction intersecting. This cross-arranged pipe structure not only facilitates the uniform distribution of the electromagnetic components 20, but also makes the adsorption force provided by the transport device more evenly distributed. It also prevents deformation or displacement of the flexible photovoltaic modules 40 during transport, reduces the scrap rate due to improper transport, and improves economic benefits. In addition, this cross-arranged pipe structure reduces deformation of the transport rack 10 while also reducing its weight, thereby facilitating the transport of the transport rack 10.
[0046] Optionally, the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12 are square pipes so that all electromagnetic components 20 are on the same plane.
[0047] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The transport rack 10 also includes two third pipes 13, with the first pipe 11 connected to each end at each end. The first pipe 11, second pipe 12, and third pipe 13 are interconnected to form a connecting channel. The provision of the third pipes 13 improves the structural strength of the transport rack 10 and reduces the risk of deformation. Furthermore, since the electromagnetic components 20 are located on the first and second pipes 11, 12, but not on the third pipe 13, the transport rack 10 can be easily handled manually or mechanically without causing scratches to the flexible photovoltaic modules 40.
[0048] In addition, the present invention utilizes the inner spaces of the first pipe 11 , the second pipe 12 and the third pipe 13 as connecting passages, eliminating the need to provide separate connecting passages, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the transport rack 10 .
[0049] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control module 31 is connected to the third pipe 13. Placing the control module 31 on the third pipe 13 prevents it from competing for space with the electromagnetic component 20. Furthermore, since the electromagnetic component 20 is not installed on the third pipe 13 in the present invention, placing the control module 31 there prevents interference between the control module 31 and the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40. Furthermore, this facilitates user operation of the control module 31.
[0050] For example, in Figure 1 In the specific embodiment shown, the power supply 311 and the switch 312 are located on the same third pipe 13, and the power supply 311 and the switch 312 are spaced apart and electrically connected to each other via connecting wires.
[0051] Of course, in some embodiments, the transport rack 10 includes the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12, but does not have the third pipe 13. In this case, the control module 31 can be set on the first pipe 11. Figure 3 .
[0052] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the third conduit 13 is parallel to the second conduit 12. This arrangement helps to reduce the difficulty of wiring and improve the stability of the connection between the control module 31 and the electromagnetic component 20.
[0053] Please refer to the transport process of the transport device of this utility model Figures 4a to 4c The specific operation process is as follows:
[0054] like Figure 4a As shown, the side of the transport device having the electromagnetic component 20 is placed on the flexible metal plate of the flexible photovoltaic assembly 40, and the electromagnetic component 20 is in a non-working state.
[0055] like Figure 4b As shown, the switch 312 is turned on, and the power supply 311 provides current to the electromagnetic component 20. At this time, the electromagnetic component 20 is magnetically connected to the flexible metal plate, and then the operation processes such as transportation and flipping are carried out.
[0056] After the flexible photovoltaic module 40 is transported to the designated location, the switch 312 is turned off. At this time, the magnetic attraction between the electromagnetic member 20 and the flexible metal plate disappears, and the transport device is removed from the flexible photovoltaic module 40. Figure 4c .
[0057] It should be noted that the transport device can transport magnetic plate-like structures.
[0058] The handling device of the present application effectively controls the adsorption force on the flexible photovoltaic module 40 through magnetic adjustment of the electromagnetic element 20, preventing damage to the flexible photovoltaic module 40 during handling while improving handling flexibility and safety. The design of the pipeline structure not only protects the connecting wires but also optimizes the structure of the handling device, making it more stable and durable. Furthermore, the device can adapt to the handling needs of flexible metal plates of different sizes and shapes, effectively improving handling efficiency and applicability, and providing a more efficient and safe solution for the handling of steel plates in industrial production.
[0059] In practical applications, this device can also be equipped with sensors and automatic control systems according to specific needs to achieve intelligent handling, further improving production efficiency and safety. The intelligent handling device, through integrated sensors and automatic control systems, can achieve real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of the handling process of the flexible photovoltaic modules 40, not only improving handling efficiency but also ensuring handling safety. For modern manufacturing industries with high levels of automation and fast production pace, the application of this intelligent handling device can significantly enhance the intelligence level of production lines, reduce the frequency of manual intervention, reduce production costs, and improve overall production efficiency and product quality.
