For photovoltaic modules whose life cycle is completed, carrying out classified recycling can effectively save natural resources and also provide a large amount of semiconductor and other raw materials for the development of photovoltaic industry and other industries. At present, waste photovoltaic modules are still disassembled and recycled by manual labor plus semi-automatic equipment.

[0015] Figure 1 is a perspective structural schematic view of a transfer mechanism for recycling waste photovoltaic modules according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is a perspective structural schematic view of a mobile platform according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0016] Referring to Figure 1 , a transfer mechanism for recycling waste photovoltaic modules 9 according to an embodiment of the present application is arranged between an upper transport line 1 and a lower transport line 2, and includes a base 3, a transfer platform, a cylinder assembly 5 and a chain 6. One side of the base 3 is connected to the upper transport line 1 and the lower transport line 2, respectively. Referring to Figure 2 , the mobile platform 4 is arranged in the base 3 in a liftable manner, thereby driving the tray 8 to move. One end of the chain 6 is fixedly arranged in the base 3, and the other end of the chain 6 is fixedly connected to the transfer platform. The cylinder assembly 5 is fixedly arranged in the base 3, wherein the movable end of the cylinder assembly 5 is engaged with the chain 6, thereby driving the mobile platform 4 to move between the upper transport line 1 and the lower transport line 2 when the cylinder assembly 5 is lifted.

[0017] In the disassembly process of the waste photovoltaic modules 9, the waste photovoltaic modules 9 are stacked above each tray 8 after cleaning. Preferably, after the tray 8 containing a plurality of photovoltaic modules 9 is transported to the feeding position by the upper transport line 1, the feeding port of the base 3 can be blocked by erecting a blocking plate or other obstacles to block the movement of the tray 8 on the upper transport line 1, thereby stabilizing the tray 8 at the feeding position. After the waste photovoltaic modules 9 are grabbed by the feeding mechanism, they are disassembled and processed. After the feeding of the photovoltaic modules 9 stacked on the tray 8 is completed, the corresponding blocking plate is removed, so that the tray 8 enters the mobile platform 4 and is moved to the lower transport line 2 by the mobile platform 4 for recycling. In other embodiments, since the height of the feeding port of the base 3 can be reasonably set so that the tray loaded with waste photovoltaic modules cannot enter, the same blocking effect is achieved.

[0018] With reference to Figure 2 In particular, the moving platform 4 comprises a mounting plate 41, a driving motor 42, a transmission rod 43 and a belt 44. The mounting plate 41 is protruded on two opposite sides to form a baffle 411 extending along the length direction of the upper conveying line 1. The fixed end of the driving motor 42 is fixedly connected with the outer side of the baffle 411, and the movable end of the driving motor 42 penetrates the baffle 411 to enter the space between the two baffles 411. Each transmission rod 43 is rotatably arranged between the two baffles 411, and one end of one of the transmission rods 43 is fixedly connected with the movable end of the driving motor 42, and one end of the other transmission rod 43 is rotatably arranged on the baffle 411. A plurality of gears 431 are arranged on the rod body of each transmission rod 43, and the gears 431 on each transmission rod 43 correspond one by one. Each belt 44 is rotatably arranged between the two transmission rods 43, and the two sides of each belt 44 are respectively engaged with the gears 431 on the transmission rods 43.

[0019] In the embodiment, two transmission rods 43 are arranged, one end of the first transmission rod 43 is suspended, and the other end of the first transmission rod 43 is fixedly connected with the movable end of the driving motor 42. One end of the second transmission rod 43 is suspended, and the other end of the second transmission rod 43 is rotatably arranged on the inner side wall of one of the baffles 411. The gears 431 are arranged on the first transmission rod 43 and the second transmission rod 43 at intervals, and the gears 431 on the first transmission rod 43 and the gears 431 on the second transmission rod 43 correspond one by one, and each belt 44 is sleeved between a corresponding set of gears 431. After the movable end of the driving motor 42 rotates, the transmission rod 43 drives the gears 431 to rotate, thereby driving the tray 8 on the belt 44 to move.

[0020] In particular, the cylinder assembly 5 comprises a lifting cylinder 51, a connecting rod 52 and a rotating tooth 53. The fixed end of the lifting cylinder 51 is fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the base 3, and the movable end of the lifting cylinder 51 is fixedly connected with the rod body of the connecting rod 52. The two ends of the connecting rod 52 are rotatably connected with one rotating tooth 53 respectively, and the outer circumferential surface of each rotating tooth 53 is engaged with one chain 6. When the movable end of the lifting cylinder 51 moves up and down, each rotating tooth 53 rotates to drive the chain 6 to move up and down.

[0021] The upper layer transport line 1 and the lower layer transport line 2 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The upper layer transport line 1 is above the upper layer transport line 1. When the lifting cylinder 51 is lifted to the limit position, the belt 44 and the upper layer transport line 1 are in the same plane. When the lifting cylinder 51 is lowered to the limit position, the belt 44 and the lower layer transport line 2 are in the same plane. When the tray 8 is completely transported into the transfer platform from the upper layer transport line 1, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 51 is lowered to the limit state, and the driving motor 42 starts to rotate, so that the tray 8 is moved from the moving platform 4 to the lower layer transport line 2 for recycling. When the tray 8 leaves the moving platform 4, the driving motor 42 stops rotating, and the movable end of the lifting cylinder 51 is lifted to the limit state, thereby completing a complete transfer operation.

[0022] In order to further maintain the stability of the moving platform 4 when the lifting cylinder 51 is lifted, in another embodiment, the transfer mechanism further comprises a pair of guide columns 7 arranged in the base 3. One end of each guide column 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base 3, and the other end of each guide column 7 passes through the surface of the mounting plate 41. When the movable end of the lifting cylinder 51 moves, the chain 6 drives the mounting plate 41 to move axially on the outer surface of each guide column.

[0023] In summary, the tray loaded with the waste photovoltaic panel can be automatically recycled by the operation of the upper and lower layer transport lines, thereby speeding up the automatic feeding process of the waste photovoltaic module disassembly.
