Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of junction box mounting equipment, in particular to a junction box mounting and feeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The functions of the junction box in the photovoltaic module mainly include connection and protection. For the feeding and mounting of the junction box, a robot is usually used to pick up the junction box from a magazine. The top gripper of the robot takes out the junction box from the magazine and places it on a belt line. Since the junction boxes in the magazine are randomly and disorderly stacked, the specific position of the junction box gripped by the gripper is not fixed. Therefore, when placed on the belt line, the junction box maintains a certain safety height from the belt line, and thus the position of the junction box on the belt line has a certain randomness. Therefore, an industrial camera is usually arranged to take pictures to determine whether the placement position and quantity of the junction box on the belt line are qualified.

[0003] The unqualified junction boxes need to be recycled. There are two common processing methods. One of the processing methods is that the unqualified junction boxes directly flow to a metal guide groove and a recycling box prepared at the end of the belt line. However, this processing method has the following problems. Since the junction box is large in size, the size of the recycling box also needs to be large in order to reduce the replacement frequency, which increases the cost of the additional guide groove. In addition, the unqualified junction boxes also flow from the belt line to the tail part like the qualified junction boxes, so the program is more complex, which affects the junction box feeding rhythm and increases the cost.

[0004] The other processing method is to add a separate recycling belt line. The recycling belt line transmits the unqualified junction boxes to a designated recycling area. However, this processing method adds a separate recycling belt line, which not only occupies a large part of the equipment space and affects the overall size of the equipment, but also greatly increases the cost.

[0005] In addition, in the above two methods, the junction boxes in the recycling box or the designated recycling area need to be taken out and placed back into the magazine regularly, and the recycling process of the junction boxes is long. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The term "and / or" used in the specification of the present application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a junction box installation feeding device 100 for conveying junction boxes and installing the junction boxes to predetermined positions, the junction box installation feeding device 100 comprising a feeding line body 1, a conveying line body 2 and a feeding gripper 3, the feeding line body 1 having a feeding station 11 for placing a junction box 200, the conveying line body 2 comprising a screening line body module 21 and a conveying module 202. Along the conveying direction of the conveying line body 2, the feeding station 11 is located at the front end of the screening line body module 21, the feeding station 11 is located at the rear end of the screening line body module 21, and the screening line body module 21 is provided with a screening conveyor belt 211, and the feeding gripper 3 is used to grab the junction box 200 of the feeding station 11 to the screening conveyor belt 211, wherein the screening line body module 21 has a recycling mode and a conveying mode, in the conveying mode, the screening conveyor belt 211 rotates forward to convey the junction box 200 forward to the conveying module 202; in the recycling mode, the screening conveyor belt 211 reverses to retreat the junction box 200 back to the feeding station 11.

[0035] Therefore, the loading gripper 3 can grab the junction box 200 on the loading station 11 to the screening conveyor 211, and when the screening line body module 21 is in the conveying mode, the junction box 200 can be conveyed forward to the transmission module 202 by making the screening conveyor 211 rotate forward, so that the junction box 200 continues to be conveyed forward on the transmission line body 2. If it is necessary to recycle the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211, it is only necessary to make the screening line body module 21 switch to the recycling mode, and make the screening conveyor 211 rotate reversely to retreat the junction box 200 backward to the loading station 11, so as to complete the recycling of the junction box 200. Compared with the related structure, the junction box mounting and feeding device 100 provided by the present application does not need to additionally add a guide groove and a recycling box, and does not need to additionally increase a separate recycling belt line, so as to simplify the equipment structure and reduce the cost. Moreover, by making the screening line body module 21 switch to the recycling mode and making the screening conveyor 211 rotate reversely, the junction box 200 can be directly retreated backward to the loading station 11, without going through the process of the rear belt line body-guide groove-recycling box-material box or the process of the recycling belt line-recycling area-material box, so as to greatly shorten and simplify the recycling process of the junction box 200 and optimize the feeding rhythm.

[0036] Further, the screening line body module 21 further comprises a first identification camera 4, which is used to identify the state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211. Moreover, when the state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 meets the expectation, the screening line body module 21 operates in the conveying mode; when the state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 does not meet the expectation, the screening line body module 21 operates in the recycling mode; wherein the state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 includes but is not limited to the number, position and direction.

[0037] It should be noted that the expected state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 can be set according to actual needs, for example, the expected state information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 is a single junction box 200 and horizontal placement. Therefore, when the loading gripper 3 grabs multiple junction boxes 200 on the screening conveyor 211 at a time, or the junction box is vertically placed on the screening conveyor 211, it is not expected, and the screening line body module 21 needs to operate in the recycling mode. Alternatively, the first identification camera 4 is configured as a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera. The first identification camera 4 is arranged above the screening line body module 21.

[0038] As Figure 2As shown, the screening line body module 21 further comprises a second lifting mechanism 212 connected to the screening conveyor belt 211 and used to drive the screening conveyor belt 211 to lift along the height direction of the junction box mounting and feeding device. When there is a height difference between the transmission module 202 located at the front end of the screening line body module 21 and the feeding station 11 located at the rear end of the screening line body module 21, the screening conveyor belt 211 can be lifted to match the height of the transmission module 202, thereby facilitating the transmission of the junction box 200 to the transmission module 202. Alternatively, the screening conveyor belt 211 can be lifted to match the height of the feeding station 11, thereby facilitating the return of the junction box 200 to the feeding station 11. The second lifting mechanism 212 includes, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder lifting mechanism, a hydraulic cylinder lifting mechanism, a screw lifting mechanism, or a chain lifting mechanism.

[0039] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the junction box mounting and feeding device further comprises a box 5 for receiving the junction box 200. The feeding line 1 further comprises an inlet station 12 and a return station 13. The box 5 can be conveyed to the feeding station 11 through the inlet station 12 and can be conveyed from the feeding station 11 to the return station 13. Specifically, the box 5 is manually lifted to the inlet station 12, then the box 5 can be conveyed to the feeding station 11 through the inlet station 12, and finally the box 5 that has completed feeding is conveyed from the feeding station 11 to the return station 13.

[0040] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , when the status information of the junction box 200 on the screening conveyor belt 211 does not meet the expectations, the second lifting mechanism 212 first drives the height of the screening conveyor belt 211 to be higher than the height of the opening of the box 5, and then the screening line body module 21 operates in the recycling mode. In this way, the junction box 200 is conveniently returned to the box 5.

[0041] The screening line body module 21 further comprises an extension plate 213 located at one end of the screening conveyor belt 211 close to the feeding station 11. The extension plate 213 plays a guiding role for the junction box 200 that needs to be recycled, and is used to guide the junction box 200 to return to the box 5 of the feeding station 11.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the junction box mounting feeding device further comprises a second identification camera 7 for identifying whether the magazine 5 on the feeding station 11 is empty. The feeding station 11 is provided with a feeding belt 111, the feeding station 12 is provided with a feeding belt 121, and the discharging station is provided with a discharging belt 131. The magazine 5 is conveyed to the feeding belt 111 through the feeding belt 121, and when the magazine 5 on the feeding station 11 is empty, the magazine 5 is conveyed from the feeding belt 111 to the discharging belt 131. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the conveying efficiency of the magazine 5 and timely supplement the magazine 5 loaded with the junction box 200 to the feeding station 11. The second identification camera 7 can be configured as a 3D camera, and the feeding gripper 3 can be configured as a six-axis manipulator. The second identification camera 7 is located above the feeding station 11.

[0043] The conveying direction of the feeding line body 1 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transmission line body 2.

[0044] Optionally, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The discharging belt 131 and the feeding belt 121 are located at the same end of the feeding belt 111 and are spaced apart along the height direction of the junction box mounting feeding device. The feeding station 11 further comprises a first lifting mechanism 112 connected to the feeding belt 111, which is used to drive the feeding belt 111 to ascend and descend along the height direction of the junction box mounting feeding device, so that the feeding belt 111 ascends to the same height as the feeding belt 121, or descends to the same height as the discharging belt 131. In this way, the feeding line body 1 makes full use of the space in the height direction, so that the structure is more compact. In addition, space can be reserved at the other end of the feeding belt 111. By setting the first lifting mechanism 112, the feeding belt 111 can match the feeding belt 121 and the discharging belt 131 with different heights, so as to facilitate the conveying of the magazine 5 between the feeding station 12, the feeding station 11 and the discharging station 13. The discharging belt 131 can be located above the feeding belt 111, of course, the feeding belt 111 can be located above the discharging belt 131. The first lifting mechanism 112 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder lifting mechanism, a hydraulic cylinder lifting mechanism, a screw lifting mechanism or a chain lifting mechanism, etc.

[0045] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The transmission module 202 comprises a turnover line module 22 and a material taking line module 23. Along the conveying direction of the transmission line 2, the turnover line module 22 is located between the screening line module 21 and the material taking line module 23. When the direction of the terminal box 200 on the screening conveying belt 211 is positive, the turnover line module 22 directly conveys the terminal box 200 to the material taking line module 23. When the direction of the terminal box 200 on the screening conveying belt 211 is reverse, the turnover line module 22 conveys the terminal box 200 to the material taking line module 23 after turning over the terminal box 200.

[0046] It should be noted that the direction of the terminal box 200 here is reverse, which means that the terminal box 200 is buckled on the screening conveying belt 211 in reverse. By arranging the turnover line module 22, the terminal box 200 buckled in reverse can be turned over, thereby avoiding affecting the installation process of the subsequent terminal box 200.

[0047] Optionally, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the turnover line module 22 comprises a rotating mechanism 221 and two turnover conveying belts 222 connected to the rotating mechanism 221 respectively. The two turnover conveying belts 222 are arranged in a stacked manner along the thickness direction thereof and can clamp the terminal box 200. The rotating mechanism 221 is used to drive the two turnover conveying belts 222 to rotate synchronously to turn over the terminal box 200. In this embodiment, the two turnover conveying belts 222 are not only used to convey the terminal box 200, but also can cooperate with the terminal box 200 to turn over the terminal box 200. The rotating mechanism 221 includes, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder rotating mechanism, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism, etc.

[0048] Further, the turnover line module 22 further comprises a telescopic mechanism 223 connected to the two turnover conveying belts 222 and used to drive the two turnover conveying belts 222 to move close to each other to clamp the terminal box 200, or to drive the two turnover conveying belts 222 to move away from each other to release the terminal box 200. By arranging the telescopic mechanism 223, the terminal box 200 can be prevented from falling out of the two turnover conveying belts 222. The telescopic mechanism 223 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder structure.

[0049] The turnover line module 22 further comprises a mounting frame 224 and a support 225. The telescopic mechanism 223 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 224, and the support 225 is rotatably connected to the support 225 through the rotating mechanism 221.

[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment, the number of the mounting frame 224, the telescopic mechanism 223 and the support 225 is two and they are symmetrically arranged. Each telescopic mechanism 223 is fixedly installed on one of the mounting frames 224. One of the mounting frames 224 is rotatably connected to one of the supports 225 through the rotating mechanism 221, and the other mounting frame 224 is rotatably connected to the other support 225.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The junction box mounting and feeding device further comprises a mounting gripper 6, and the taking line body module 23 comprises a taking conveying belt 231 used for conveying the junction box 200, and the mounting gripper 6 is used for grabbing the junction box 200 on the taking conveying belt 231 and mounting the junction box 200 to a preset position.

[0052] Optionally, the junction box mounting and feeding device further comprises a third identification camera 8 used for identifying the placement position of the junction box 200 on the taking conveying belt 231. The mounting gripper 6 mounts the junction box 200 to the photovoltaic module after grabbing the junction box 200 according to the placement position of the junction box 200 identified by the third identification camera 8. The third identification camera 8 can be configured as a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera, and the third identification camera 8 is located above the taking line body module 23. The mounting gripper 6 is configured as a SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robot.

[0053] Optionally, in an embodiment, the screening line body module 21, the overturning line body module 22 and the taking line body module 23 are respectively provided with a material detection photoelectric sensor for detecting whether the junction box 200 is placed in place.

[0054] The working process of the junction box mounting and feeding device 100 provided in the application is as follows:

[0055] The material box 5 is manually fed to the feeding belt 121 of the feeding station 12. If the second recognition camera 7 recognizes that the material box 5 is not empty, the material box 5 is conveyed to the feeding station 11, and the feeding gripper 3 grabs the terminal box 200 from the material box 5 to the screening conveyor 211. If the second recognition camera 7 recognizes that the material box 5 is empty, the first lifting mechanism 112 lifts the feeding belt 111, and the empty material box 5 is conveyed to the material returning station 13. According to the state information of the terminal box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 recognized by the first recognition camera 4, if the terminal box 200 state information does not meet the expectation, the screening line body module 21 works in the recycling mode, the second lifting mechanism 212 drives the screening conveyor 211 to rise, the screening conveyor 211 reverses, the terminal box 200 returns to the material box 5 on the feeding station 11, and is re-grabbed by the feeding gripper 3. If the terminal box 200 state information meets the expectation, the screening line body module 21 works in the conveying mode, and the terminal box 200 is conveyed to the turnover line body module 22. Then, if the direction of the terminal box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 is positive, the turnover line body module 22 directly conveys the terminal box 200 to the material taking line body module 23. If the direction of the terminal box 200 on the screening conveyor 211 is reverse, the turnover line body module 22 turns over the terminal box 200 by 180° and then conveys the terminal box 200 to the material taking line body module 23. After the terminal box is conveyed to the material taking line body module 23, the third recognition camera takes the placement position on the material taking conveyor 231, and the mounting gripper 6 grabs the terminal box 200 and then mounts the terminal box 200 on the photovoltaic module. The beat action of the terminal box mounting and feeding device 100 provided in the application is more simple and efficient, a series of mechanisms and modules for recycling the terminal box 200 are omitted, the efficiency of the equipment is improved, and the cost is reduced.
