Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel production equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the photovoltaic panel production process, the conveying device is crucial. Traditional conveying platforms mostly use belt conveyors, but their surface flatness is poor, which cannot meet the requirements for product adsorption and leveling when precision machining products, and therefore cannot be used in precision machining platforms.

[0003] To overcome this shortcoming of belt conveyor platforms, another conveying method has been developed in existing technology—adsorption transport. This method achieves non-contact transport of products by adsorbing them from their upper surface and then moving them to the next workstation. However, adsorption transport also has certain drawbacks. In the production process of photovoltaic panels, sensitive elements such as ink or printed silver lines often exist on the surface of the panels. These surfaces cannot be touched, otherwise it may lead to product damage or quality degradation. Therefore, adsorption transport cannot be used when these sensitive elements are present on the photovoltaic panel surface.

[0004] To address the above issues, we need to design a photovoltaic panel conveying device that utilizes air flotation transmission. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional adsorption and handling methods that are not suitable for photovoltaic panels with ink or silver lines, this utility model provides a photovoltaic panel conveying device that utilizes air flotation transmission.

[0006] A photovoltaic panel conveying device includes a support platform, a processing platform, a mounting frame, a fixing plate, a motor, a connecting seat, guide wheels, a conveyor belt, and pulleys. The processing platform is located on the top left side of the support platform, and air flotation holes are evenly spaced on the top of the processing platform. The mounting frame is located on the top right side of the support platform, and fixing plates are symmetrically arranged at the front and back of the top of the mounting frame. The motor is located on the bottom right side of the mounting frame, and the connecting seat is located on the bottom left side of the mounting frame. Guide wheels are provided on both the front and back sides of the connecting seat. Pulleys are symmetrically rotated on the side of the two fixing plates that are close to each other. A conveyor belt is sleeved between the pulleys on the same side. The connecting seat is connected to the two guide wheels through a rotating shaft in the middle. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft in the middle of the connecting seat through a transmission assembly.

[0007] More preferably, it also includes a feeding platform and a connecting end. The feeding platform is provided on the mounting frame, the connecting end is provided in the middle of the feeding platform, and air flotation holes are evenly spaced on the top of the feeding platform.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes an electric slide rail, a connecting frame, and a guide plate. An electric slide rail is installed laterally on the lower front side of the support platform, a connecting frame slides on the electric slide rail, and a guide plate is provided on the top of the connecting frame.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a retaining plate and a limiting port. Retaining plates are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the guide plate, and four limiting ports are opened on the top of the guide plate.

[0010] More preferably, pulleys are also symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the connecting seat.

[0011] Even more preferably, the edge plate is made of a soft material.

[0012] The beneficial effects and significant advancements of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes the design of air flotation holes. When the air supply system is turned on and air is introduced into the air flotation holes, an air flotation layer is formed on the surface of the processing platform and the unloading platform. This effectively reduces the friction between the photovoltaic panel and the platform, thereby avoiding scratches or damage caused by friction and ensuring that the quality of the photovoltaic panel is not affected. It also avoids the problem of not being able to touch the photovoltaic panel due to the presence of ink or printed silver lines on the surface, which would render traditional adsorption and handling methods unusable.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example: A photovoltaic panel conveying device, please see below. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the system includes a support platform 1, a processing platform 2, air flotation holes 3, a mounting frame 4, a fixing plate 41, a motor 5, a connecting seat 6, a guide wheel 7, a conveyor belt 8, a pulley 81, a feeding platform 9, a connecting end 91, an electric slide rail 10, a connecting frame 11, a guide plate 12, a clamping plate 13, and a limiting port 131. The processing platform 2 is located on the top left side of the support platform 1. Air flotation holes 3 are evenly spaced on the top of the processing platform 2. The mounting frame 4 is connected to the top right side of the support platform 1. Fixing plates 41 are symmetrically connected horizontally back and forth on the top of the mounting frame 4. The bottom right side of the mounting frame 4 hangs vertically backward. A motor 5 is directly mounted on the mounting frame 4. A connecting seat 6 is connected to the bottom left side of the mounting frame 4. Guide wheels 7 are connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting seat 6 via bearings. Pulleys 81 are symmetrically connected to the two fixing plates 41 on their respective sides, rotating left and right. Pulleys 81 are also symmetrically connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting seat 6. A conveyor belt 8 is fitted between the pulleys 81 on the same side. A rotating shaft connects the connecting seat 6 to the two guide wheels 7 in the middle. The guide wheels 7 guide the direction of the conveyor belt 8, ensuring its smooth operation. The output shaft of the motor 5 is connected to the rotating shaft in the middle of the connecting seat 6 via a transmission... The motor 5 drives the rotating shaft in the middle of the connecting seat 6 to rotate via the output shaft of the motor 5, which in turn drives the pulley 81 and the conveyor belt 8 to rotate. A feeding platform 9 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 4, and the conveyor belt 8 is located on the outside of the feeding platform 9. A connecting end 91 is provided in the middle of the feeding platform 9 for connection to the air supply system. Air flotation holes 3 are evenly spaced on the top of the feeding platform 9. By passing air into the air flotation holes 3, an air flotation effect is formed, reducing the friction between the photovoltaic panel and the platform and facilitating the movement of the photovoltaic panel. An electric slide rail 10 is installed laterally on the lower front side of the support platform 1. A connecting frame 11 is connected to the rail 10 via an electric slider. The electric rail 10 is used to drive the connecting frame 11 to move horizontally. A guide plate 12 is connected to the top of the connecting frame 11. A retaining plate 13 is symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the top of the guide plate 12. The retaining plate 13 is made of soft material to prevent scratches on the sides of the photovoltaic panel. Four limiting holes 131 are opened on the top of the guide plate 12. The retaining plate 13 extends into the limiting holes 131. When the photovoltaic panel contacts the retaining plate 13, the four sides of the photovoltaic panel will contact the retaining plate 13. The retaining plate 13 plays a limiting role for the photovoltaic panel.

[0022] When using the photovoltaic panel conveying device, first ensure that the support platform 1 is placed securely, and then check the surfaces of the processing platform 2 and the unloading platform 9 to ensure they are clean and free of foreign objects. This is to ensure that the photovoltaic panels are not obstructed or damaged during the conveying process.

[0023] Next, check whether the air flotation holes 3 are unobstructed, as this is crucial for the formation of the air flotation effect. Then, correctly connect the air supply system to the connection end 91 in the middle of the feeding platform 9 to ensure that the air flotation system can work properly.

[0024] Then, the power supply to the electric slide rail 10 is turned on, and it is confirmed that the connecting frame 11 and the guide plate 12 can move smoothly and steadily on the electric slide rail 10. This is so that the photovoltaic panels can be transferred to the designated location as needed later.

[0025] Next, turn on the air supply system to circulate air into the air flotation holes 3, so that a stable air flotation layer is formed on the surfaces of the processing platform 2 and the unloading platform 9. Then, observe whether the photovoltaic panel can slide freely on the air flotation layer, and adjust the air supply according to the sliding situation to achieve the best air flotation effect.

[0026] At this point, the photovoltaic panel to be transferred can be gently placed on the processing platform 2. Then, the connecting frame 11 and its guide plate 12 are moved to the left by the electric slide rail 10 until the guide plate 12 is above the processing platform 2. Next, the air supply system is activated, using the air buoyancy effect to slide the photovoltaic panel upwards to the top of the guide plate 12. During this process, the four sides of the photovoltaic panel will contact the edge clamping plate 13, which acts as a limit, effectively preventing the photovoltaic panel from shifting or falling during the sliding process.

[0027] Subsequently, the electric slide rail 10 drives the connecting frame 11 and guide plate 12 to move to the right. When the photovoltaic panel is transferred to the unloading platform 9, the air supply system is turned off. At this time, the photovoltaic panel on the guide plate 12 will fall onto the pulley 8 due to the loss of air buoyancy support. By starting the motor 5, the output shaft of the motor 5 drives the rotating shaft in the middle of the connecting seat 6 to rotate through the transmission assembly. The rotating shaft further drives the pulley 81 and the conveyor belt 8 to rotate, thereby conveying the photovoltaic panel to the designated position. Through the design of the air buoyancy holes 3, the suction holes of the processing platform 2 are suspended by air blowing, the guide plate 12 contacts the photovoltaic panel on all four sides for handling, and the combination of air buoyancy of the unloading platform 9 and the conveyor belt 8, efficient conveying is achieved while protecting the product. It also avoids the problem that the traditional suction handling method cannot be used because the photovoltaic panel surface has ink or printed silver lines that prevent it from being touched.

[0028] During the conveying process, the guide wheel 7 guides the direction of the conveyor belt 8, ensuring that the conveyor belt 8 runs smoothly and accurately. At the same time, the speed of the motor 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs to control the speed of the conveyor belt 8 and the conveying speed of the photovoltaic panels.

[0029] Finally, after all the photovoltaic panels have been transferred, turn off the power to motor 5 and electric slide rail 10. Then clean processing platform 2 and unloading platform 9, ensuring they are clean and free of foreign objects, in preparation for the next use.

[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
