Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic panel installation, and in particular to an auxiliary installation device and a catamaran. Background Art

[0002] The installation of photovoltaic panels in shallow water differs slightly from that on land. Water installation requires the construction of an overwater installation platform. The height of the overwater installation platform is determined by the height of the piles, placing it at risk of high-altitude operations. There are two methods for overwater installation of photovoltaic panels. One involves hoisting all the panels onto the installation platform and manually installing them on the photovoltaic supports. The other involves transporting the panels to the installation site by transport vessel, manually transferring them to the installation platform, and then installing them on the photovoltaic supports. Hoisting all the panels onto the installation platform and manually installing them on the photovoltaic supports is a faster method.

[0003] However, due to the large number of photovoltaic panels stacked on the installation platform, the platform's center of gravity can easily become unstable during transportation and installation in water, causing it to capsize, posing a significant safety hazard. This method involves transporting the photovoltaic panels to the installation area by transport vessel, manually transferring them to the installation platform, and then installing them on the photovoltaic brackets. This method has low installation efficiency, high labor costs, and can easily damage the panels during transfer. Based on this, this application aims to reduce manual handling and lower construction safety risks by proposing a catamaran for rapid installation of photovoltaic panels in a water-based photovoltaic power station.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The auxiliary installation device of the first embodiment of the present application is used for the installation of photovoltaic panels in a water surface photovoltaic power station. The auxiliary installation device includes a lifting module 100 and a manipulator module 200.

[0035] The lifting module 100 includes a conveying component 110 and a frame 120. The conveying component 110 is arranged on the frame 120. The conveying component 110 includes a horizontal conveying section, a lifting conveying section and a turning conveying section therebetween. The horizontal conveying section serves as the input end, the turning conveying section is used to connect the horizontal conveying section and the lifting conveying section, and the lifting conveying section is used to lift the material to a preset height position; the manipulator module 200 is docked with the lifting conveying section, and the manipulator module 200 is used to move the material lifted by the lifting conveying section.

[0036] It can be understood that the photovoltaic panels on the water surface are lifted to the height of the installation location by the lifting module 100, and the photovoltaic panels are transported to the installation location by the manipulator module 200, thereby eliminating the original manual handling of the photovoltaic panels and changing to an automatic delivery mode, reducing manual handling, increasing work efficiency, and reducing construction safety risks.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the conveying component 110 includes a conveying chain assembly, a driving member and a guide gear 111, the driving member is used to drive the conveying chain assembly to move, the guide gear 111 is set on the conveying chain assembly, and the conveying chain assembly is turned by the guide gear 111 and forms a horizontal conveying section, a lifting conveying section and a turning conveying section therebetween. It can be understood that the conveying component 110 is designed as a chain conveying mechanism, and the guide gear 111 is used to turn the conveying chain assembly so as to form a mechanism that at least includes a horizontal conveying section, a lifting conveying section and a turning conveying section therebetween, and then the photovoltaic panel on the water surface can be input by the horizontal conveying section, connected by the turning conveying section, and finally the photovoltaic panel can be lifted to a suitable installation height by the lifting conveying section, so that the manipulator module 200 can grab and move it to the installation position.

[0038] In some embodiments, the lifting device adopts a Z-shaped design and can be lifted directly from the water surface to above the photovoltaic support.

[0039] In some embodiments, a Z-shaped structure is formed by two roller conveyor belts and a frame 120. The size of the frame 120 is larger than the size of the photovoltaic panel. A conveyor chain is arranged along the inner side of the frame 120, and gears are placed at the turning position. The conveyor chain is turned by the gears.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, a conveyor chain assembly includes a conveyor chain 112, a flexible conveyor plate 113, and a latch. The conveyor chain 112 is provided with a latch hole, and the flexible conveyor plate 113 is fixed to the conveyor chain 112 by means of the latch passing through the flexible conveyor plate 113 and the latch hole. It is understood that multiple flexible conveyor plates 113 are installed on the conveyor chain 112, and the back of the conveyor plates is connected in series by a chain, forming a flexible conveyor plate 113 that can bend back but not back on the front. The side strips of hard plastic plates of the flexible conveyor plate 113 have a different structure from the middle strips. The two side strips of hard plastic plates have a latch at each end, which is inserted into the latch hole in the conveyor chain to secure the entire flexible conveyor plate 113 to the conveyor chain. In this design, when the flexible conveyor plate 113 is in operation, after the photovoltaic panel is transported to the top, the conveyor chain begins to move downward along the guide gear 111, driving the entire flexible conveyor plate 113 downward. As the flexible conveyor plate 113 moves downward, it also drives the photovoltaic panel to the top.

[0041] In some embodiments, the flexible transmission plate 113 is composed of a plurality of strip-shaped hard plastic plates.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the conveying component 110 includes a conveyor belt assembly 114, which interfaces with the lifting conveyor section. The manipulator module 200 interfaces with the conveyor belt assembly 114 and moves materials on the conveyor belt assembly 114. It is understood that by utilizing the conveyor belt assembly 114 to receive the lifted photovoltaic panels, the manipulator module 200 can adaptively adjust the specific position of the photovoltaic panels based on the configuration of the conveyor belt assembly 114, thereby achieving higher positional accuracy and less prone to errors in the docking between the modules.

[0043] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt assembly 114 includes a roller conveyor belt. It is understood that the roller conveyor belt can be suitable for the working conditions of transporting photovoltaic panels. The roller conveyor belt with multiple rollers arranged in sequence can reliably transport the photovoltaic panels.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, a blocking member is provided at the end of the conveyor belt assembly 114's transport path to prevent material movement. The blocking member is provided with a sensor 115 assembly for sensing the material. It is understood that the blocking member is used to position the photovoltaic panel so that it is properly positioned for capture by the robot module 200, and the sensor 115 assembly is used to detect in real time whether the blocking member is blocking the photovoltaic panel. This allows the robot module 200 and the conveyor belt assembly 114 to coordinate their operations and avoid transportation accidents.

[0045] In some embodiments, the tail end of the collision roller conveyor belt is stationary, waiting for the robot to grab it, and two sensors 115 are set at the tail end of the upper roller transmission shaft. After the photovoltaic panel reaches the tail end, the motor of the lifting device stops and the entire conveying device stops. When the robot grabs the photovoltaic panel, the motor is started through the sensor 115, and the entire conveying device continues to run, avoiding situations such as photovoltaic panels falling or colliding due to excessive transmission of photovoltaic panels due to untimely installation.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the auxiliary installation device further includes a platform module 300, and the manipulator module 200 is used to move materials on the conveyor belt assembly 114 onto the platform module 300. It is understood that the platform module 300 is used to define a suitable installation location, which not only determines the transfer destination of the manipulator module 200, but also enables technicians to assist in installation.

[0047] In some embodiments, the hull is constructed of a polyurethane pontoon and steel plates, providing relatively good stability in water. The bracket uses a gate-shaped bracket to connect the two hulls. The bracket body is welded from galvanized steel pipe and fixed to the hull steel plate to support the auxiliary mounting device.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the platform module 300 includes at least two mounting platforms, and the two mounting platforms have different heights. It is understandable that the two mounting platforms have different heights because the photovoltaic support is tilted.

[0049] In some embodiments, the mounting platform on the side of the photovoltaic bracket that is higher than the water surface adopts a high-low span design. On the side of the photovoltaic bracket that is lower than the water surface, the mounting platform is 40 cm lower than the low span on the other side, which can provide better working space. The mounting platform bracket is entirely welded with galvanized steel pipes and formed on the flat panel to form the working platform.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the manipulator module 200 includes a manipulator body 210 and a vacuum suction cup component 220, and the vacuum suction cup component 220 is arranged on the manipulator body 210; it is understandable that the entire manipulator body 210 is fixed to the top bracket of the catamaran, and the vacuum suction cup component 220 includes a vacuum suction cup, and the vacuum suction cup is in a vertical state when it is unloaded. When adsorbing the photovoltaic panel, the photovoltaic panel is in a state parallel to the photovoltaic bracket. When the manipulator body 210 transports the photovoltaic panel to the top of the bracket, the installation worker can manually place the photovoltaic panel on the bracket and then release the vacuum suction cup. The entire manipulator automatically grabs and transports the photovoltaic panel, and manually assists in placing the photovoltaic panel.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, at least two lifting modules 100 are provided. It is understood that installing at least two lifting devices can further improve construction efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, a catamaran travels to the installation area, and a transport ship carrying photovoltaic panels travels to one side of the catamaran's Z-shaped lifting device. One worker corresponds to one lifting device, and two workers correspond to one manipulator. The worker begins to place the photovoltaic panel on the lower roller conveyor, activates the lifting device and manipulator, and the photovoltaic panel is lifted to the upper roller conveyor. The photovoltaic panel touches the sensor 115, the lifting device pauses, the manipulator grabs the photovoltaic panel, raises the height, and the vacuum suction cup assembly changes angle. The photovoltaic panel is parallel to the photovoltaic bracket. The manipulator transports the photovoltaic panel to the location where the bracket needs to be installed. One worker assists the manipulator in transporting the photovoltaic panel to the installation location. One worker begins to tighten the photovoltaic panel. While tightening, the vacuum suction cup is controlled by a remote control to release the photovoltaic panel. After release, the manipulator returns to the starting point and continues to absorb the photovoltaic panel. The two sets of devices simultaneously operate in this reciprocating manner to install the photovoltaic panel, which is safe and efficient.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 3The catamaran of the second embodiment of the present application can be used for the rapid installation of photovoltaic panels in a water-based photovoltaic power station. The catamaran includes the auxiliary installation device of the first embodiment of the present application. This device eliminates the manual handling of photovoltaic panels and adopts an automatic transfer mode. A Z-shaped hoist is used to transfer the photovoltaic panels to the installation platform. A vacuum suction cup manipulator directly places the photovoltaic panels on the photovoltaic bracket. Finally, a worker fastens the photovoltaic panels on the installation platform to complete the installation. This invention reduces manual handling, increases work efficiency, and reduces construction safety risks.

[0054] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
