Photovoltaic panels are the core components of photovoltaic power generation systems and are widely used in solar power generation systems in residential, commercial and industrial fields. The working principle of photovoltaic panels is based on the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight shines on the surface of a photovoltaic panel, the energy of photons is absorbed by a semiconductor material (usually silicon), causing electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band, thereby generating electron-hole pairs. These electron-hole pairs are separated under the action of the electric field formed inside the semiconductor, and the electrons are pushed to the negative region of the semiconductor, and the holes are pushed to the positive region, thereby generating a voltage across the photovoltaic panel. Through external circuit connection, these free electrons can form an electric current to power the load.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the utility model and does not constitute a limitation on the utility model. The specific structure and functional details disclosed in this paper are only used to describe the example embodiments of the utility model. However, the utility model can be embodied in many alternative forms, and should not be understood as being limited in the embodiments described herein.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, Figure 1 The structure diagram of the turnover tool for the embodiments of the application is provided, a turnover tool for a photovoltaic module, the turnover tool comprising a turnover base 100402, a connecting piece 200 and a turnover piece 400, wherein:

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the turnover base 100402 serves as the positioning basis for the turnover operation and is arranged on the subsequent operation station of the assembly station, so as to provide a relative turnover area of the photovoltaic module, so that the photovoltaic module can be turned down in a preset space environment.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the connecting piece 200 is arranged on the turnover base 100402, the connecting piece 200 is used for fixedly connecting the assembly piece 500 of the photovoltaic module, and the connecting piece 200 has a first state of clamping the assembly piece 500 and a second state of releasing the assembly piece 500.

[0029] The connecting piece 200 can complete the clamping connection and release separation of the assembly piece 500 by being driven to different states, can stably grab the photovoltaic module and release the photovoltaic module at the target position, improve the operation stability, and reduce the labor intensity of manual operation.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the turnover piece 400 is movably connected between the turnover base 100402 and the connecting piece 200, when the connecting piece 200 fixedly connects the assembly piece 500, the turnover piece 400 can drive the connecting piece 200 and the assembly piece 500 to rotate at the same time until the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic module is rotated to the target position.

[0031] Through the driving operation of the turnover piece 400, the connecting piece 200 and the photovoltaic module are rotated as a whole until the photovoltaic module is rotated to the target state suitable for conveying and stacking, so as to directly perform transfer or subsequent operation, the turnover piece 400 transfers the photovoltaic module as a whole without repositioning, maintains the operation consistency and the reliability of the photovoltaic panel before and after assembly, and improves the operation efficiency.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that after the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic assembly is arranged upward, the plurality of photovoltaic panels are carried by the assembly 500, and the shear force acting on the connection between the photovoltaic panel and the assembly 500 is reduced, and the connection stability between the photovoltaic panel and the assembly 500 is improved.

[0033] After the connection piece 200 connects the whole photovoltaic assembly, the connection piece 200 and the whole photovoltaic assembly are driven to rotate by the turnover piece 400. When the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic assembly is turned upward, the connection piece 200 forming the back surface of the photovoltaic panel serves as a support to keep the plurality of photovoltaic panels as a whole to be transferred and transported. When facing the transport trolley in the assembly area, the whole photovoltaic assembly after being turned over can be directly transferred, without the intervention of other operating pieces and manual operation, so that the offline operation can be stably performed, the efficiency is improved, and the external load applied to the photovoltaic panel during the operation process is effectively avoided, thereby keeping the reliability of the photovoltaic panel.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the working principle of the turnover tool for the photovoltaic assembly in the present application is as follows: the turnover tool includes a turnover base 100402, a connection piece 200, and a turnover piece 400. The connection piece 200 is arranged on the turnover base 100402, and is used to fixedly connect the assembly 500 of the photovoltaic assembly. The connection piece 200 has a first state of clamping the assembly 500 and a second state of releasing the assembly 500. The turnover piece 400 is movably connected between the turnover base 100402 and the connection piece 200. When the connection piece 200 fixedly connects the assembly 500, the turnover piece 400 can drive the connection piece 200 and the assembly 500 to rotate simultaneously until the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic assembly is rotated to a target position. Through the connection between the connection piece 200 and the photovoltaic assembly after assembly, and through the different operating states of the connection piece 200, the action of clamping and connecting or releasing and separating the assembly 500 on the back surface of the photovoltaic assembly is completed, so that the photovoltaic assembly can be stably gripped. The connection piece 200 and the photovoltaic assembly are driven by the turnover piece 400 to rotate as a whole until the whole photovoltaic assembly is rotated to a target state suitable for conveying and stacking, and then the whole photovoltaic assembly is directly transported or subjected to subsequent operation. The turnover piece 400 transfers the whole photovoltaic assembly without repositioning, keeps the operation consistency, and keeps the reliability of the photovoltaic panel before and after assembly. The photovoltaic panel as a force receiving part is prevented from being damaged, other operating pieces and manual intervention are not required, and the operation efficiency is improved.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 2An internal structure schematic diagram of the turnover tool for the embodiment of the present application is provided. In an optional implementation, the connecting member 200 comprises two clamping portions 201 that can be close to or away from each other, and a first driving member 203 connected with the clamping portions 201 respectively. The first driving member 203 drives the clamping portions 201 to be close to clamp the assembly member 500, or drives the clamping portions 201 to be away from release the assembly member 500.

[0036] The clamping portions 201 can be connected with the assembly member 500 on the photovoltaic panel on the back light side of the photovoltaic panel to form the overall connection after the assembly of the plurality of photovoltaic panels. The overall operation displacement is facilitated after the assembly of the plurality of photovoltaic panels is completed, and the connection position is kept away from the main body of the photovoltaic panel to keep the reliability of the photovoltaic panel. Specifically, when the clamping portions 201 are connected with the assembly member 500, the clamping portions 201 are driven to be close to each other by the driving operation of the first driving member 203 to complete the clamping action, or the clamping portions 201 are driven to be away from each other to complete the release action in the target area.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In an optional implementation, the connecting member 200 further comprises a mounting frame 204. The clamping portions 201 are rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 204. Two connecting rods 301 are rotatably connected between the clamping portions 201 and the mounting frame 204. A rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected between the connecting rods 301. The first driving member 203 is arranged on the mounting frame 204. An output end of the first driving member 203 is connected with the connecting rods 301 and is used to push and pull the connecting rods 301 until the two connecting rods 301 are unfolded to push the clamping portions 201, or the two connecting rods 301 are folded to pull the clamping portions 201.

[0038] The mounting frame 204 is the relative arrangement basis of the clamping portions 201 and the first driving member 203. The clamping portions 201 can be rotated to be close to each other or to be away from each other to realize the switching of the first state of the connecting member in clamping the assembly member 500 and the second state of the connecting member in releasing the assembly member 500. In the process of repeated operation, the relative clamping position of the clamping portions 201 is kept stable to improve the clamping accuracy and the reliability of the repeated driving operation of the first driving member 203.

[0039] It should be noted that the rotation shaft 302 between the two connecting rods 301 is driven to rise or fall by the first driving member 203, so that the distance between the two connecting rods 301 is changed, and the relative displacement of the clamping part 201 is driven by the change of the distance. The arrangement of the first driving member 203 and the connecting rod 301 makes the first driving member 203 arranged in a suitable position on the mounting frame 204, so that the first driving member 203 can only directly work in the direction of driving the displacement of the clamping part 201, the space occupation is reduced, and the length of the two connecting rods 301 is fixed to limit the reciprocating displacement of the clamping part 201 between the limit positions.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 indicated, when the clamping parts 201 approach to each other and clamp the assembly 500, the stepped part 202 is hooked on the edge of the assembly 500, so that the assembly 500 is prevented from sliding out of the clamping part 201, the stability of clamping the assembly 500 is improved, and the driving force requirement of the first driving member 203 is reduced.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 indicated, in an optional embodiment, the turnover member 400 includes an arc-shaped member 401 rotatably arranged and a base 402, the connecting member 200 is fixedly arranged on the arc-shaped member 401, a second driving member 403 is arranged between the arc-shaped member 401 and the base 402, and the second driving member 403 can drive the arc-shaped member 401 to rotate on the base 402.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 indicated, in an optional embodiment, the arc-shaped member 401 is in a circular arc shape, and the arc-shaped member 401 is embedded in the base 402 to reciprocate rotation. The arc-shaped member 401 is arranged in a circular arc shape, so that the relative position between the arc-shaped member 401 and the base 402 is stable during relative rotation, and the stability of the turnover process is improved.

[0045] As shown in Figure 1 ,Figure 2 As shown in the optional embodiment, the arc-shaped member 401 is provided with an arc-shaped guide strip 404, and the base 402 is provided with at least two clamping seats 405 clamped on the arc-shaped guide strip 404, and the arc-shaped guide strip 404 can reciprocate in the clamping seat 405.

[0046] Through the matching of the arc-shaped guide strip 404 and the clamping seat 405, the arc-shaped member 401 can avoid deviation or separation during relative rotation with the base 402, and the stability of the connection during mutual operation is improved.

[0047] As shown in the optional embodiment, the arc-shaped member 401 is provided with a rack, and the second driving member 403 is provided with a driving wheel engaged with the rack, and the second driving member 403 can drive the driving wheel to rotate in different directions.
