[0025] The busbar pressing device 52 is arranged on the side of the pressing and welding branch bracket 51 close to the junction box preparation and feeding device 4.

[0026] As shown, Figure 1 in the embodiment, the busbar pressing device 52 comprises a pressing device mounting plate 520 reciprocating on one side of the pressing and welding branch bracket 51, which is driven by a lifting driving device, the driving end of the lifting driving device is connected with the pressing device mounting plate 520, and a plurality of pressing assemblies 521 are arranged on the pressing device mounting plate 520.

[0027] As shown, Figure 2 the pressing assembly 521 comprises a pressing driving device, which is a double-rod air cylinder 5210 in the embodiment, the cylinder body of the double-rod air cylinder 5210 is mounted on the pressing device mounting plate 520, the double-rod air cylinder 5210 has a piston rod, an upper mounting block 5211 is arranged on the piston rod, one or more slide rods 5212 are arranged on the upper mounting block 5211, the slide rod 5212 comprises a fixed end and a sliding end, the fixed end is fixedly connected with the upper mounting block 5211, an upper stop piece 5213 is arranged on the top of the sliding end, a lower mounting block 5214 is slidably arranged on the sliding end, a lower stop piece 5215 is arranged at the bottom end of the sliding end to prevent the lower mounting block 5214 from being separated from the sliding end, an elastic piece is arranged between the upper stop piece 5213 and the lower mounting block 5214, which is a spring 5216 in the embodiment, and a pressing block 5217 is arranged at the bottom of the lower mounting block 5214, which can contact the wiring end of the busbar when the lower mounting block 5214 is lowered to a certain position.

[0028] The double-rod cylinder 5210 drives the pressing block 5217 to move downward, and the bottom surface of the pressing block 5217 is in contact with the lead end 101 of the bus bar. Because the spring 5216 is arranged, the lower mounting block 5214 and the pressing block 5217 have a certain elastic stroke, so that the lead end 101 will not be deformed by being pressed by the electrode in the terminal box, and sufficient pressing force can be applied to the lead end 101 to ensure that the lead end 101 is tightly connected with the electrode in the terminal box.

[0029] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 the other side of the pressing and welding branch frame 51 is provided with a welding device for welding the lead end of the bus bar and the electrode in the terminal box together.

[0030] The welding device comprises a welding wire section supply assembly 531 and a clamping and welding assembly 533, and the clamping and welding assembly 533 carries the welding wire section provided by the welding wire section supply assembly 531 into the terminal box and applies electricity to weld the lead end of the bus bar and the electrode in the terminal box together.

The clamping and welding head 5331 comprises a clamping and welding part 5332, and a solder wire accommodating groove 5333 with an inverted trapezoidal cross section is arranged at the bottom of the clamping and welding part 5332. Since the tin wire is soft, when the clamping and welding part 5332 is pressed down, the tin wire can be clamped into the solder wire accommodating groove 5333. The clamping and welding part 5332 is used as a welding head. When the clamping and welding part 5332 clamps the solder wire to move into the terminal box and contact the lead end and the electrode in the terminal box, the clamping and welding part 5332 is powered to melt the tin wire to weld the lead end and the electrode together.

[0038] When the tin wire is taken out, the clamping and welding head 5331 is first moved above the solder wire section supply assembly 531, the solder wire accommodating groove 5333 is aligned with the tin wire, then the clamping and welding head 5331 is moved down. Since the tin wire is supported by the support table 53124, the tin wire is easily clamped into the solder wire accommodating groove 5333. Then, the solder wire cutting machine 5313 cuts the tin wire.
