[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing the photovoltaic module frame, a robotic arm or manual operation can be used to place four frame strips onto the surface of the lower fixing plate 25 inside the four connecting plates 22. The photovoltaic module body is then placed on the surface of the placement platform 51. The height of the photovoltaic module body is adjusted by the fourth cylinder 53 so that it is located inside the L-shaped straightening plate 57. Then, the second motor 58 is turned on, and the two connecting rods 56 are moved by the gear 59, thereby adjusting the position of the photovoltaic module body by the L-shaped straightening plate 57. Finally, the photovoltaic module body is positioned by the L-shaped straightening plates 57 on both sides. Then, the air pump is turned on to draw air, and the photovoltaic module body is fixed by the upper end of the negative pressure pipe 52 using the negative pressure principle. Then, the fourth cylinder 53 is turned on to control the photovoltaic module body to move up to the same horizontal height as the second cylinder 21. While adjusting the photovoltaic module body, the first screw 31 can be rotated by turning on the first motor 39.

The first push plate 37 or the second push plate 38, located on the same screw, move closer to each other until both ends of each frame strip abut against two of the first push plates 37 or two of the second push plates 38. The position of the frame strip is adjusted and corrected by the push plates. Then, the movable clamping plate 24 is moved down by the third cylinder 26 to clamp and fix the frame strip. Next, the corner bracket is placed on the drive end of the first cylinder 4, and the first cylinder 4 is controlled to push the corner bracket from the notch of the first push plate 37 and clamp it to the end of the frame strip. Finally, glue is applied to the mounting part of the frame strip. Then, the second cylinder 21 controls the frame strips to move toward the photovoltaic module body. First, the two frame strips without corner brackets are installed. Then, the second cylinder 21 pushes the frame strip with corner brackets toward the photovoltaic module body, so that the other end of the corner bracket is engaged with the end of the frame strip without corner brackets, thus completing the frame installation of the photovoltaic module. First, the third cylinder 26 is controlled to reset, then the second cylinder 21 is controlled to reset, the pump is turned off, and the photovoltaic module body is removed from the surface of the placement platform 51. The above process is repeated to install the frame of the next photovoltaic module.
