Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to photovoltaic module recycling technology, and in particular to a device for shaping and removing glass from the aluminum frame of a scrap photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy frames have become an important component of photovoltaic modules due to their excellent performance. The recycling and disposal of waste photovoltaic aluminum frames are of great significance to the photovoltaic industry and environmental protection. Improving recycling efficiency and ensuring environmental compliance require technical and hardware support.

[0003] Photovoltaic modules are no exception; their aluminum alloy frames are all profile structures. Because discarded photovoltaic aluminum frames often contain residual glass, recycling the metal materials is difficult, especially since glass and silicon crystals are recyclable. During the unloading and assembly of discarded photovoltaic modules, there are instances of dropping, impacts, and compression, resulting in the most severe damage to the aluminum frames. The deformed aluminum frames mixed with glass present even greater challenges for efficient and rapid processing. Currently, existing technologies and machinery do not offer a satisfactory solution to this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames. While straightening the aluminum alloy profile, it removes the embedded glass and has the characteristics of being mechanical and pollution-free, completely separating metal and glass, and being simple and easy to operate.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: a device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, comprising a frame, characterized in that a positioning template is fixed on the frame, the positioning template having a vertical reference body and a horizontal support surface for positioning the aluminum frame, and a thrust limiting block is provided at one end of the positioning template; a movable scraper is provided on one side of the positioning template, and a correction clamping mechanism is provided on the other side of the positioning template.

[0006] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the movable scraper includes a clearing slide rail, a movable bracket is provided on the clearing slide rail, and a scraper is provided on the movable bracket.

[0007] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the scraper has blades on both sides along the length of the aluminum frame, and the scraper is positioned on a movable bracket by a handle that is adjustable up and down.

[0008] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the correction clamping mechanism includes a guide rail fixed on the frame and perpendicular to the positioning template, a pressure plate that cooperates with the guide rail and is parallel to the positioning template, and the pressure plate is connected to a push screw.

[0009] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the push screw is positioned on the frame via a bearing seat, and a handwheel is provided at one end of the push screw.

[0010] In the aforementioned apparatus for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the length of the pressure plate is greater than the length of the aluminum frame, and the bottom surface of the pressure plate is located on the support surface of the positioning template.

[0011] In the aforementioned apparatus for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the area of ​​the thrust limiting block corresponds to the non-glass clamping portion of the aluminum frame, or a through groove is provided with the glass clamping portion of the aluminum frame.

[0012] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, the movable support of the movable scraper includes a linear motor, which cooperates with the obstacle removal slide rail.

[0013] In the aforementioned device for shaping and removing glass from scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames, preferably, a movable scraper or movable cutter is provided directly above the positioning template, and the thickness of the movable scraper or movable cutter is adapted to the thickness of the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame.

[0014] This technical solution addresses the physical characteristics of deformed aluminum frames clamping fragmented glass. One key feature is the extremely tight adhesion of the glass within the clamping section of the aluminum frame, making it impossible to detach with simple taps or vibrations. Secondly, the glass within the deformed aluminum frame is not aligned in a straight line after being compressed; although much of the glass is broken, it cannot be removed through the clamping opening. However, if the broken glass is located along the straight line of the clamping groove, it is easier to remove. Thirdly, aluminum itself has good plasticity. Fourthly, in almost all photovoltaic aluminum frames, the area of ​​the load-bearing profile is larger than that of the glass clamping section, and the load-bearing profile does not contain glass.

[0015] This solution utilizes the characteristic of the load-bearing profile section that it does not require cleaning and can withstand large compressive forces axially. This section of the aluminum frame is placed in a positioning mold strip equipped with a thrust limit block, so that the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame is located in an axially open area, providing cleaning space, so that the glass in the glass clamping part can be cut or removed axially.

[0016] This device uses a correction clamping mechanism to physically straighten malleable aluminum profiles. During this process, the greater the deformation of the profile, the greater the deformation during straightening, and the easier it is for the internal glass to break, thus providing conditions for further thorough removal.

[0017] This device can handle small quantities of aluminum frames manually, while batch processing can be automated with a power unit. After straightening the aluminum frames, final cleaning can be performed using a mobile scraper, mobile cutter, or other suitable mechanism to remove debris from the glass clamping parts of the aluminum frames.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it straightens and cleans the broken glass clamped by the scrap photovoltaic aluminum frame, which not only separates the two objects that are stuck together, making it easier to remove the glass, but also cleans it thoroughly, and the metal and glass are completely separated, resulting in high work efficiency; the entire operation is mechanical, so there are no environmental concerns, the device is simple, easy to operate, and can be flexibly arranged, making it suitable for processing small or large quantities of scrap photovoltaic aluminum frames.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This embodiment describes a device for shaping and removing glass from scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frames, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, on which a positioning template 4 is fixed. A movable scraper 2 is provided on one side of the positioning template 4, and a correction clamping mechanism 3 is provided on the other side of the positioning template 4. A movable scraper or movable cutter 5 is provided directly above the positioning template 4. The thickness of the movable scraper or movable cutter 5 is adapted to the thickness of the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6. The movable scraper or movable cutter 5 can adjust the positional relationship between itself and the scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frame 6 being processed.

[0028] The following is a detailed explanation of each component:

[0029] The positioning module 4 has a vertical reference body 402 and a horizontal support surface 401 for positioning the scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frame 6, see [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 One end of the positioning strip 4 is provided with a thrust limiting block 403, which positions the aluminum frame 6 in the length direction. Furthermore, the area of ​​the thrust limiting block 403 corresponds to the non-glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6; it can also be equal to the area of ​​the aluminum frame 6, except that a through groove is opened in the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6 so that the movable scraper or movable cutter 5 can smoothly squeeze out the broken glass at the end of the aluminum frame 6.

[0030] The mobile scraper 2 includes two scraping rails 201, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a movable support 203 is provided on the obstacle clearing slide rail 201, and a scraper 204 is provided on the movable support 203.

[0031] Since the movable wiper 2 mainly scrapes away the glass exposed outside the glass clamping groove of the aluminum frame 6, the required force is relatively small. Therefore, the movable wiper 2 has two implementation methods:

[0032] One method is manual operation, which simply involves adding a lever to the movable support 203 of the mobile scraper 2. This manual operation device is equipped with steering wheels at the bottom of the frame 1, allowing it to be moved to the work point at any time.

[0033] Secondly, the automatic operation mode is as follows: the mobile support 203 in the mobile scraper 2 includes a linear motor, which cooperates with the obstacle clearing slide rail 201. The obstacle clearing slide rail 201 has two parallel branches to improve the stability of the mobile support 203. The two ends of the obstacle clearing slide rail 201 are respectively fixed on the slide rail bearing 202.

[0034] Furthermore, the scraper 204 has blades 2041 on both sides along the length of the aluminum frame 6, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the scraper 204 is positioned on the movable bracket 203 via the handle 2042. The handle 2042 can be adjusted up and down to meet the processing requirements of different models of aluminum frame 6.

[0035] The alignment clamping mechanism 3 includes a guide rail 302 fixed on the frame 1 and perpendicular to the positioning template 4. Two guide rails 302 are provided in parallel. A pressure plate 301 is provided in cooperation with the guide rail 302 and parallel to the positioning template 4. The pressure plate 301 is a long bar-shaped structure, such as an I-beam. The pressure plate 301 is connected to a thrust screw 305. The length of the pressure plate 301 is greater than the length of the aluminum frame 6. The bottom surface of the pressure plate 301 is located on the support surface 401 of the positioning template 4 and is in close contact with the support surface 401.

[0036] The lead screw 305 in the alignment clamping mechanism 3 is positioned on the frame 1 via a bearing seat 303, and a handwheel 304 is provided at one end of the lead screw 305. The lead screw 305 can be configured in one or two sets depending on the actual length of the aluminum frame 6 being processed.

[0037] Working principle and operation process:

[0038] The collected scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frame 6 is placed on the positioning template 4, with the glass clamping part facing the correction clamping mechanism 3 and the opening facing upwards. The correction clamping mechanism 3 is driven, and the aluminum frame 6 is straightened by the pressure plate 301 until the pressure plate 301 presses the aluminum frame 6 tightly, so that the glass clamping part is basically in a straight line. The movable scraper 2 is driven, first moving from the open end of the positioning template 4 to the end with the thrust limit block 403, removing the glass above the groove of the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6. In fact, it will break some of the glass inside the groove. Then the movable scraper 2 moves in the opposite direction to return to its original position. During the return process, a small amount of remaining glass above the groove of the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6 is scraped off again, creating the conditions for the movable scraper or movable cutter 5 to enter and position.

[0039] After the mobile scraper 2 completes its work, the remaining glass fragments in the groove of the glass clamping part of the aluminum frame 6 are removed using the mobile scraper or mobile cutter 5, or a combination of both. Similarly, when processing a small number of scrapped photovoltaic aluminum frames 6, it can be done manually, while when processing a large number of items, semi-automatic or automatic removal can be performed using the mobile cutter 5 or mobile scraper, which moves and positions itself in the X / Y / Z directions.

[0040] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications and substitutions to the technical solutions of the present invention based on its teachings. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims, and all such equivalent modifications and substitutions fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
