Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic module frame cleaning device and frame feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing calls for environmental protection, the country is gradually changing its traditional power generation model and increasing the proportion of new and clean energy power generation. Among them, solar power generation has developed rapidly, and therefore the demand for solar modules has also grown rapidly. During the production process, solar photovoltaic modules need to be framed around the glass to fix them in place.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) module frames are commonly used to frame solar PV modules. These frames are aluminum alloy profiles used to fix or support the PV solar panel components. During assembly, these frames or supports are attached to the glass of the PV module. This assembly process requires a specialized frame loading machine to feed the frames. After the frames are in place, assembly can begin. Before assembling the frames and PV modules, the surface of the frames needs to be cleaned. The existing frame loading machines typically require manual cleaning, where operators manually wipe the frames one by one. Obviously, this cleaning method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and cannot meet the demands of fast-paced production. Utility Model Content

The working area is located inside the frame, and the waiting area is located outside the frame. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0011] When the washing cylinder assembly is located in the working area, the washing cylinder assembly cleans the frame located on the conveying mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the atomizing nozzle includes an ultrasonic atomizing transducer, an ultrasonic generator, and a nozzle, wherein:

[0014] The nozzle is rotatably mounted on the frame at a preset angle, with the water outlet of the nozzle facing the conveying mechanism. The ultrasonic atomizing transducer is mounted on the water outlet of the nozzle, and the ultrasonic generator is mounted on the frame. The active end of the ultrasonic generator is connected to the ultrasonic atomizing transducer.

[0015] Furthermore, the first driving member is connected to the washing drum assembly via a guide assembly, the guide assembly including a guide rail and a guide plate laid on the frame along a second direction, the guide plate being slidably disposed on the guide rail, the washing drum assembly being mounted on the guide plate, the driving end of the first driving member being connected to the guide plate, the first driving member driving the guide plate to reciprocate along the second direction, thereby driving the washing drum assembly to move.

[0016] Furthermore, a first robotic arm is provided at the feeding end of the frame, and the first robotic arm is configured to pick up the edge of the material storage area and transport it to the conveying mechanism at the feeding end of the frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a drive motor and two conveyor belts spaced apart along a second direction. The two conveyor belts are rotatably laid on the frame along a first direction. The fixed end of the drive motor is mounted on the frame. The conveyor belts are configured to carry the frame.

[0036] Specifically, the picking end of the first robotic arm 5 is set as a Bernoulli suction cup or a vacuum suction cup.

At the same time, the first drive component 40 on both sides drives the washing cylinder assembly 41 to move from the waiting area to the working area. The second drive component 410 drives the washing cylinder 411 to rotate. The ultrasonic generator 32 located above the frame 1 atomizes the cleaning water supplied by the water tank 30 through the ultrasonic atomizing vibrator 31 and sprays it out through the nozzle 33. It works with the washing cylinder 411 to clean the frame 100. The wastewater after cleaning flows into the collection box 7 at the bottom of the frame 1, completing the cleaning.

[0043] It should be noted that the above-mentioned photovoltaic module frame cleaning device can also perform preliminary cleaning of the frame. If there are few stains on the frame, there is no need to move the brush assembly 41 from the waiting area to the working area. The atomizing nozzle located above can clean the frame 100.
