Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular relates to an automatic loading and unloading elevator. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of photovoltaic (PV) modules, a laminating machine is used to perform a lamination process. During lamination loading, an assembly mechanism on a loading elevator places a rectangular lamination fixture over the PV module, and the PV module and lamination fixture are taped together. The loading elevator then loads the assembled module. After lamination, the laminating machine transfers the entire module to an unloading elevator. A separation mechanism on the unloading elevator removes the tape, moves the module away from the lamination fixture, and then unloads the laminated PV module. When using traditional elevators for loading and unloading, the elevator cannot accurately position and secure the PV module, hindering the assembly and separation mechanisms and affecting the assembly and separation efficiency of the PV module and lamination fixture. This compromises the proper functioning of the lamination process. Utility Model Content

[0028] This utility model provides an automatic loading and unloading elevator. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. 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.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an automatic loading and unloading lifting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lifting platform 1, a transmission platform 2, a straightening mechanism, and a suction cup mechanism. The lifting platform 1 is prior art, and its specific structure and connection method will not be described in detail here. The transmission platform 2 is located above the lifting platform 1, and the lifting platform 1 can drive the transmission platform 2 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the transmission platform 2 is configured as a conveyor belt. The straightening mechanism is located on the transmission platform 2 and is used for positioning in the transmission direction and the direction perpendicular to the transmission direction. When the photovoltaic module is transmitted to the set position, the straightening mechanism positions and straightens it to prevent skewing during transportation, which would prevent normal assembly. The suction cup mechanism is located on the transmission platform 2 and can move up and down. After the straightening mechanism positions and straightens the photovoltaic module at the set position, the suction cup mechanism adsorbs and fixes the photovoltaic module to prevent movement, which is more conducive to the assembly and separation with the lamination tooling.
[0031] Specifically, the alignment mechanism includes an X-axis alignment mechanism and a Y-axis alignment mechanism. The X-axis alignment mechanism is used for positioning in the transmission direction, and the Y-axis alignment mechanism is used for positioning in the direction perpendicular to the transmission direction.
[0032] Specifically, the X-axis alignment mechanism includes a fixed stop wheel 3 and an X-axis positioning stop wheel 4. The fixed stop wheel 3 is located at the front end of the transmission direction, and the X-axis positioning stop wheel 4 is located at the rear end of the transmission direction and can move back and forth along the transmission direction. After the photovoltaic module is placed on the transmission platform 2, it moves along the transmission direction. When the photovoltaic module abuts against the fixed stop wheel 3, the X-axis positioning stop wheel 4 moves forward in the transmission direction to contact the photovoltaic module, thereby positioning the photovoltaic module in the X-axis direction, i.e., the transmission direction. The specific number of fixed stop wheels 3 and X-axis positioning stop wheels 4 is not limited. In this embodiment, two fixed stop wheels 3 and two X-axis positioning stop wheels 4 are provided, symmetrically arranged.
[0033] Specifically, a first cylinder 5 is provided on the X-axis positioning guide wheel 4, and the first cylinder 5 is mounted on the lifting platform 1, which can drive the X-axis positioning guide wheel 4 to move back and forth along the transmission direction. In this embodiment, the two X-axis positioning guide wheels 4 are connected by a first support plate 6, which is respectively located at both ends of the first support plate 6. A first cylinder 5 is provided between the conveyor belts, and the first cylinder 5 is fixed on the lifting platform 1 and connected to the first support plate 6, which can drive the first support plate 6 to move back and forth along the transmission direction.
[0034] Specifically, to avoid the height of the X-axis positioning wheel 4 affecting normal transportation, a second cylinder 7 is provided on the first cylinder 5, and the X-axis positioning wheel 4 is provided on the second cylinder 7, which can drive the X-axis positioning wheel 4 to move up and down. In this embodiment, a vertically arranged second cylinder 7 is fixed at the bottom of the X-axis positioning wheel 4, and the second cylinder 7 is fixed on the first support plate 6, which can drive the X-axis positioning wheel 4 to move up and down.
[0035] Specifically, to prevent the height of the fixed guide roller 3 from affecting normal transportation, a third cylinder 8 is provided on the fixed guide roller 3. The third cylinder 8 is mounted on the conveyor platform 2 and can drive the fixed guide roller 3 to move up and down. In this embodiment, two fixed guide rollers 3 are mounted on the mounting frame of the conveyor belt, and the third cylinder 8 is fixed on the mounting frame of the conveyor belt. The third cylinder 8 is fixed to the fixed guide roller 3 through the connecting plate 9 and can drive the fixed guide roller 3 to move up and down.
[0036] Specifically, the Y-axis alignment mechanism includes Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 arranged opposite each other on both sides of the transmission table 2. The Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 can move closer to or further away from each other in the direction perpendicular to the transmission direction.
[0037] Specifically, a fourth cylinder 11 is provided on the Y-axis positioning guide wheel 10. The fourth cylinder 11 is located on the side of the transmission platform 2 and can drive the Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 to move closer or further apart. In this embodiment, two Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 are provided on both sides of the transmission belt, and the two positioning guide wheels are connected by a second support plate 12. The fourth cylinder 11 is fixed to the outside of the outer transmission belt mounting frame and connected to the second support plate 12. It can drive the second support plate 12 to move perpendicular to the transmission direction, so that the Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 on both sides of the transmission platform 2 can move closer or further apart to position the photovoltaic module.
[0038] Specifically, the suction cup mechanism includes a lifting suction cup 13, which is mounted on the conveyor platform 2 and can move up and down. The specific number of lifting suction cups 13 is not limited. In this embodiment, two lifting suction cups 13 are mounted on the mounting bracket of the conveyor belt.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a fifth cylinder 14 is provided at the bottom of the lifting suction cup 13, and the fifth cylinder 14 is mounted on the conveyor platform 2. In this embodiment, the fifth cylinder 14 is fixed on the mounting bracket of the conveyor belt, and the lifting suction cup 13 is fixed on the top of the fifth cylinder 14.
[0040] Workflow:
[0041] An elevator as described above is installed at both the inlet and outlet ends of the laminator.
[0042] During loading, the photovoltaic modules are transferred to the conveyor platform 2 of the elevator at the entrance. The conveyor platform 2 moves the photovoltaic modules. When the front end of the photovoltaic module abuts against the fixed guide wheel 3 along the conveying direction, the second cylinder 7 drives the X-axis positioning guide wheel 4 to rise. At the same time, the first cylinder 5 drives the X-axis positioning guide wheel 4 to move closer to the photovoltaic module and make contact with it, thus positioning the photovoltaic module in the conveying direction. Simultaneously, the fourth cylinders 11 on both sides drive the Y-axis positioning guide wheels 10 to move closer to the photovoltaic module and make contact with it, achieving positioning synchronously in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. After the photovoltaic module is aligned and positioned, the fifth cylinder 14 drives the lifting suction cup 13 to rise and adsorb and fix the photovoltaic module, and the first cylinder 5, second cylinder 7, third cylinder 8, and fourth cylinder 11 reset. The lifting platform 1 moves the transmission platform 2 to the height of the assembly mechanism. The assembly mechanism places the lamination fixture on the outside of the photovoltaic module. At this time, the alignment mechanism aligns and positions the lamination fixture to ensure that the lamination fixture and the four sides of the photovoltaic module maintain a uniform distance. Then, the assembly mechanism bonds the lamination fixture and the photovoltaic module together.
[0043] After assembly, the lifting platform 1 moves the entire module to the height of the laminator inlet, and the lifting suction cup 13 stops adsorbing the photovoltaic module and resets. The transfer platform 2 transfers the entire module to the laminator for lamination.
[0044] During unloading, the laminator transfers the entire laminated module to the transfer platform 2 of the unloading end elevator. The transfer platform 2 moves the entire module. When the front end of the module abuts against the fixed guide roller 3 along the transport direction, the second cylinder 7 drives the X-axis positioning guide roller 4 to rise. Simultaneously, the first cylinder 5 drives the X-axis positioning guide roller 4 to move closer to and contact the entire module, positioning it in the transport direction. At the same time, the fourth cylinders 11 on both sides drive the Y-axis positioning guide rollers 10 to move closer to and contact the entire module, achieving simultaneous positioning in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction. After the entire module is aligned and positioned, the fifth cylinder 14 drives the lifting suction cup 13 to rise and adsorb and fix the photovoltaic module. The first cylinder 5, second cylinder 7, third cylinder 8, and fourth cylinder 11 then reset. The lifting platform 1 moves the transfer platform 2 to the height of the separation mechanism. The separation mechanism separates the lamination fixture from the photovoltaic module and removes the lamination fixture. The transfer platform 2 then unloads the remaining laminated photovoltaic modules.
[0045] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0046] By setting up a centering mechanism and a suction cup mechanism, the photovoltaic modules are automatically positioned and fixed during the loading and unloading process, enabling the lamination fixtures and photovoltaic modules to be assembled and separated more precisely, ensuring the assembly and separation effect, allowing the lamination process to proceed normally, and guaranteeing the lamination effect.
