Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a frame straightening assembly mechanism.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame-aligning assembly device includes a support frame 1, on which two first assembly frames 2 and two second assembly frames 3 are slidably connected. Two short frames are respectively mounted on the two first assembly frames 2, and two long frames are respectively mounted on the two second assembly frames 3. In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel is mounted on the support frame 1, and the photovoltaic panel is located on the inner edge of the two long frames and the two short frames. The two long sides of the photovoltaic panel are parallel to the positions of the long frames of the two second assembly frames 3 and are flush with their ends. The short sides of the photovoltaic panel are parallel to the positions of the short frames of the two first assembly frames 2 and are flush with their ends.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Each of the two first assembly frames 2 is provided with a first alignment device for limiting the position of the short frame, and each of the two second assembly frames 3 is provided with a second alignment device for limiting the position of the long frame. The support frame 1 is provided with a first driving device for driving the two first assembly frames 2 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions and a second driving device for driving the two second assembly frames 3 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions.

[0024] Therefore, the first straightening device is activated to straighten the short frames on the first assembly frame 2, and the second straightening device is activated to straighten the long frames on the second assembly frame 3, thereby automatically adjusting the short and long frames to their corresponding positions with the photovoltaic panels. Subsequently, the first drive device is activated to move the two short frames on the first assembly frame 2 relative to or opposite to each other, and the second drive device is activated to move the two long frames on the first assembly frame 2 relative to or opposite to each other. By using the first and second straightening devices, labor costs are reduced while the machine cycle time is shortened, saving time and effort and improving the production efficiency of photovoltaic panel assembly.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first straightening device includes a first placement seat 4 and a second placement seat 5 respectively disposed on the first assembly frame 2. The surfaces of the first placement seat 4 and the second placement seat 5 opposite to the support frame 1 are respectively provided with first placement grooves 6. The two ends of the short frame are respectively mounted on the first placement grooves 6. The first placement seat 4 is provided with a first limiting unit for limiting the position of the short frame in the length direction. The first limiting unit includes a first telescopic cylinder 7 disposed on the first placement seat 4, and a second telescopic cylinder 8 mounted on the second placement seat 5. The two ends of the short frame are located between the output ends of the first telescopic cylinder 7 and the second telescopic cylinder 8. Therefore, when the first telescopic cylinder 7 and the second telescopic cylinder 8 are activated synchronously, the output ends of the first telescopic cylinder 7 and the second telescopic cylinder 8 clamp the ends of the short frame, thereby limiting the position of the short frame in the length direction. In this embodiment, the second straightening device is configured accordingly with reference to the structure of the first straightening device.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A third placement seat 9 is provided between the first placement seat 4 and the second placement seat 5. In this embodiment, the third placement seat 9 is located in the middle of the first placement seat 4 and the second placement seat 5, and the first placement seat 4, the second placement seat 5, and the third placement seat 9 are on the same straight line in the horizontal direction. A second placement groove 10 is provided on the surface of the third placement seat 9 away from the support frame 1, and the short frame is placed on the second placement groove 10. A second limiting unit is provided on the third placement seat 9 for fixing the position of the short frame. Therefore, the second placement groove 10 provides support for the middle part of the short frame, further improving the stability of the short frame placed on the first assembly frame 2.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second limiting unit includes a mounting base 11 bolted to a third placement base 9. A third telescopic cylinder 12 is bolted to the mounting base 11. A pressure block 13 is hinged to the output end of the third telescopic cylinder 12. A limiting component for controlling the movement trajectory of the pressure block 13 is provided on the mounting base 11. The limiting component includes two limiting plates 14 provided on the mounting base 11. The pressure block 13 is located between the two limiting plates 14. A connecting post 15 is passed through and rotatably connected to the pressure block 13. Arc-shaped grooves 16 matching the size of the connecting post 15 are opened opposite each other on the two limiting plates 14. The two ends of the connecting post 15 are slidably connected to the two arc-shaped grooves 16 respectively. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped grooves 16 are semi-circular. The pressure block 13 is bolted to a buffer pad 17. The short frame is pressed against the buffer pad 17 and the groove wall of the second placement groove 10. In this embodiment, the buffer pad 17 is made of POM material. POM material has excellent wear resistance and good surface finish, which reduces the possibility of the pressure plate 19 damaging the short frame during the pressing process.

[0028] Therefore, the third telescopic cylinder 12 is activated, which drives the pressure block 13 at the output end of the third telescopic cylinder 12 to move. During the movement of the pressure block 13, the connecting column 15 slides along the groove of the arc groove 16, thereby controlling the movement trajectory of the pressure block 13, improving space utilization, and pressing the short frame against the buffer pad 17 and the groove wall of the second placement groove 10, further limiting the position of the short frame and reducing the possibility of the short frame position shift.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A vertically arranged fourth telescopic cylinder 18 is installed on the third placement seat 9. The output end of the fourth telescopic cylinder 18 is connected to a pressure plate 19, and the short frame is pressed against the pressure plate 19 and the bottom of the second placement groove 10. Therefore, when the fourth telescopic cylinder 18 is activated, the pressure plate 19 at the output end of the fourth telescopic cylinder 18 extends, pressing the short frame against the pressure plate 19 and the bottom of the second placement groove 10, thereby limiting the vertical position of the short frame and further reducing the possibility of the short frame's position shift.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The first driving device includes a first lead screw rotatably connected to a support frame 1. A driving unit for driving the first lead screw to rotate is provided on the support frame 1. The driving unit includes a driving motor 20 provided on the support frame 1. The first lead screw is provided at the output end of the driving motor 20. One end of the first lead screw is coaxially fixedly connected to a second lead screw through a coupling. The threads of the first lead screw and the second lead screw are opposite. The outer edge of the first lead screw is threadedly connected to a first nut slide 21 that matches the size of the first lead screw. The outer edge of the second lead screw is threadedly connected to a second nut slide 22 that matches the size of the second lead screw. Two first assembly frames 2 are respectively provided on the first nut slide 21 and the second nut slide 22. In this embodiment, the second driving device is set with reference to the first driving device and has the same structure as the first driving device.

[0031] Therefore, the drive motor 20 is started, which drives the first lead screw at the output end of the drive motor 20 to rotate. The first lead screw drives the second lead screw to rotate synchronously. Since the thread directions of the first lead screw and the second lead screw are opposite, the movement directions of the first nut slide 21 and the second nut slide 22 are opposite, which drives the two first assembly frames 2 to move relative to each other, and the two short frames are respectively pressed against and inserted into the two short sides of the photovoltaic panel. The second drive device is started synchronously, and the two long frames are respectively pressed against and inserted into the two long sides of the photovoltaic panel, thereby realizing the assembly of the frame around the photovoltaic panel.

[0032] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The robotic arm from the previous production process places two short frames onto the first assembly frame 2 and two long frames onto the second assembly frame 3. Simultaneously, the first telescopic cylinder 7 and the second telescopic cylinder 8 are activated, clamping the two ends of the short frames at their output ends, thereby limiting the length position of the short frames. The third telescopic cylinder 12 is activated, causing the pressure block 13 at its output end to move. During the movement of the pressure block 13, the connecting column 15 slides along the groove of the arc-shaped groove 16. This allows for control of the movement trajectory of the pressure block 13, pressing the short frame against the buffer pad 17 and the wall of the second placement groove 10; activating the fourth telescopic cylinder 18 causes the pressure plate 19 at the output end of the fourth telescopic cylinder 18 to extend, pressing the short frame against the pressure plate 19 and the bottom of the second placement groove 10, thereby limiting the vertical position of the short frame and achieving regularization of the short frame's placement position; simultaneously activating the second regularization device, which has the same structure as the first regularization device, to regularize the placement position of the long frame; reducing the possibility of positional misalignment between the short and long frames and improving the accuracy of photovoltaic panel frame assembly.

[0033] Then, the drive motor 20 is started, which drives the first lead screw at the output end of the drive motor 20 to rotate. The first lead screw drives the second lead screw to rotate synchronously. Since the thread directions of the first lead screw and the second lead screw are opposite, the movement directions of the first nut slide 21 and the second nut slide 22 are opposite, which drives the two first assembly frames 2 to move relative to each other, and respectively abutting and inserting the two short frames onto the two short sides of the photovoltaic panel. Simultaneously, the second drive device is started, and the two long frames are respectively abutting and inserting onto the two long sides of the photovoltaic panel, thereby realizing the assembly of the frame around the photovoltaic panel. This reduces labor costs and shortens the machine cycle time, saving time and effort and improving the production efficiency of photovoltaic panel assembly.

[0034] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
