Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular relates to a tape-tearing and separating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of photovoltaic (PV) modules, a laminating machine is used to perform a lamination process. During lamination, a lamination fixture is typically used to align and position the various layers within the PV module. This fixture is a rectangular frame covered with Teflon tape, and corner protectors and securing straps made of PTFE fabric are fixed to the frame. Before lamination, the lamination fixture is fitted onto the outside of the PV module, and the two opposite corner protectors are adhered to the module with tape, assembling the fixture and module together. The assembled module then enters the laminating machine for the lamination process. After lamination, the tape needs to be removed to separate the fixture from the module. Currently, this is typically done manually, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model through specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a tape-tearing separation mechanism, including a fixed transmission frame 10, a movable mounting frame 20, a tape-tearing assembly 30, and a conveying assembly 40. The fixed transmission frame 10 is located at the top of the laminator outlet and is used to transmit the lamination fixture 60. The movable mounting frame 20 is located above the fixed transmission frame 10 and is movably connected to it, extending outwards and backwards along the transmission direction. The tape-tearing assembly 30 is mounted on the movable mounting frame 20 and is used to tear the tape. The conveying assembly 40 is mounted on the movable mounting frame 20 and is used to convey the lamination fixture 60. After the laminator completes the lamination process on the entire assembly composed of the lamination fixture 60 and the photovoltaic module, it transmits the entire assembly to the unloading elevator. The unloading elevator positions and fixes the entire assembly, then raises it to the height of the fixed transmission frame 10. The movable mounting frame 20 moves the tape-tearing assembly 30 and the conveying assembly 40 to a position above the entire assembly. The tape-tearing assembly 30 tears off the tape between the laminating fixture 60 and the photovoltaic module. The conveying assembly 40 transports the laminating fixture 60 from the unloading elevator to the fixed transfer frame 10, separating the laminating fixture 60 from the photovoltaic module. A conveyor belt along the conveying direction is provided on the fixed transfer frame 10, which transports the separated laminating fixture 60 to a position away from the laminator outlet for recirculation. The unloading elevator unloads the laminated photovoltaic module for the next process. The specific number and position of the tape-tearing assemblies 30 are determined according to the tape's adhesion position. In this embodiment, the tape is adhered to the two opposite corner protectors 61 of the laminating fixture 60; therefore, two tape-tearing assemblies 30 are provided, located at two opposite corners on the movable mounting frame 20, corresponding to the tape's adhesion position.

[0040] Specifically, linear modules 11 are installed on both sides of the fixed transfer frame 10 along the transfer direction. The sliders of the linear modules 11 are connected to the bottom of the movable mounting frame 20, which can drive the movable mounting frame 20 to move back and forth along the transfer direction. The end of the linear module 11 near the outlet of the laminator extends out of the fixed transfer frame 10, allowing the movable mounting frame 20 to extend out of the fixed transfer frame 10. This allows the conveying assembly 40 and the tape-tearing assembly 30, which are mounted on the movable mounting frame 20, to be positioned above the unloading elevator at the outlet, facilitating tape tearing and separation.

[0041] Specifically, the tape-tearing assembly 30 is provided with a first adjustment component 50, which is mounted on the movable mounting frame 20 and used for horizontally moving the tape-tearing assembly 30. The first adjustment component 50 includes a vertically arranged X-axis linear module 51 and a Y-axis linear module 52. The X-axis linear module 51 is mounted on the Y-axis linear module 52, and the tape-tearing assembly 30 is mounted on the X-axis linear module 51. The X-axis linear module 51 is arranged along the transmission direction and is used to drive the tape-tearing assembly 30 to move back and forth along the transmission direction. The Y-axis linear module 52 is fixed on the movable mounting frame 20 and is arranged perpendicular to the transmission direction, used to drive the X-axis linear module 51 and the tape-tearing assembly 30 to move perpendicular to the transmission direction.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tape-tearing assembly 30 includes a telescopic cylinder 31, a connector, and tape-tearing claws. The telescopic cylinder 31 is mounted on the first adjusting assembly 50. The connector is mounted on the telescopic cylinder 31, which can move the connector up and down. The tape-tearing claws are mounted on the connector and are angled towards the tape 70. When the tape 70 is applied, it is usually folded at one end for easy removal. After the tape 70 is applied, the folded end will curl up. The tape-tearing claws are angled towards the tape 70, making it easier to grip the curled folded end. After the tape-tearing claws grip the curled folded end, the first adjusting assembly 50 moves the tape-tearing claws along the application path, thus removing the tape 70.

[0043] Specifically, the connector includes an inclined plate 33, which is mounted on the telescopic cylinder 31. The inclined surface of the inclined plate 33 is provided with a tape-tearing gripper, which can open and close along the inclined surface, which faces the tape 70. In this embodiment, a mounting plate 32 is fixed to the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 31, and the inclined plate 33 is fixed between the mounting plates 32. The side of the inclined plate 33 is connected to the mounting plate 32 by bolts. One inclined surface of the inclined plate 33 faces the tape 70, and a tape-tearing gripper is fixed to the inclined surface. The tape-tearing gripper opens and closes along the inclined surface, causing the gripping end of the tape-tearing gripper to be inclined, making it easier to grip the raised, folded end of the tape 70.

[0044] Specifically, the tape-tearing gripper includes a fixed gripper 34 and a movable gripper 35. The fixed gripper 34 is located at the bottom of the inclined surface, and the movable gripper 35 is located above the fixed gripper 34 along the inclined surface. In this embodiment, an L-shaped bent plate is fixed at the bottom of the inclined plate 33 along the direction of the inclined surface, serving as the fixed gripper 34. The movable gripper 35 is installed on the inclined surface and is driven by a cylinder. Under the drive of the cylinder, the movable gripper 35 can move along the inclined surface closer to the fixed gripper 34 to clamp the tape 70.

[0045] Preferably, a detection sensor 36 is provided on the side of the fixed gripper 34 away from the tape 70. In this embodiment, a through hole 37 is provided on the non-clamping side of the fixed gripper 34, and the detection sensor 36 is fixed on the side of the fixed gripper 34 away from the tape 70, opposite to the through hole 37. The detection sensor 36 can detect the tape 70 through the through hole 37. When the detection sensor 36 detects the folded end of the tape 70, the movable gripper 35 moves close to the fixed gripper 34 to clamp the tape 70.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handling assembly 40 includes a handling gripper 41 and a second adjustment assembly 42. The handling gripper 41 is used to clamp the laminating fixture 60. The second adjustment assembly 42 is disposed around the bottom of the movable mounting frame 20. The second adjustment assembly 42 is provided with the handling gripper 41, which is used to drive the handling gripper 41 to move up and down and horizontally. In this embodiment, the second adjustment assembly includes a vertical cylinder 421 and a horizontal cylinder 422. The vertical cylinder 421 is fixed to the bottom of the movable mounting frame 20, and the horizontal cylinder 422 is fixed to the movable end of the vertical cylinder 421. The movable end of the horizontal cylinder 422 is fixed with the handling gripper 41. The horizontal cylinder 422 can drive the handling gripper 41 to move horizontally, and the vertical cylinder 421 can drive the horizontal cylinder 422 and the handling gripper 41 to move up and down.

[0047] Workflow: After the laminator completes the lamination process on the entire assembly consisting of the lamination fixture 60 and the photovoltaic module, it transfers the entire assembly to the unloading elevator. The unloading elevator positions and fixes the entire assembly, then raises it to the height of the fixed transfer frame 10. The linear module 11 moves the movable mounting frame 20 out of the fixed transfer frame 10 near the laminator outlet, causing the tape tearing assembly 30 and the transport assembly 40 to move above the entire assembly. The first adjustment assembly 50 moves the tape tearing assembly 30 horizontally above the folded end of the tape 70. The telescopic cylinder 31 moves the tape tearing jaws downward. When the detection sensor 36 detects the tape 70, the tape tearing jaws clamp the tape 70. The first adjustment assembly 50 moves the tape tearing jaws along the pasting trajectory, tearing off the tape 70. The transport assembly 40 uses the transport jaws 41 to transport the lamination fixture 60 from the unloading elevator to the fixed transfer frame 10, separating the lamination fixture 60 from the photovoltaic module. The fixed transmission frame 10 transports the separated laminating fixture 60 to the end away from the laminator outlet for reflow, and the unloading elevator unloads the laminated photovoltaic module for the next process.

[0048] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0049] 1. By setting up a tape-tearing component, automatic tape removal is achieved;

[0050] 2. By setting up a handling component, automatic separation of the lamination tooling and photovoltaic modules was achieved;

[0051] 3. It replaces manual labor, realizes automatic tape removal and automatic separation of lamination fixtures from photovoltaic modules, and improves work efficiency.

All equivalent changes and improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
