[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a photovoltaic panel mounting device, which includes a vehicle body assembly 100, a boom assembly 200, and a suction cup assembly 300.

[0027] The vehicle body assembly 100 includes a chassis structure 110, a cargo platform 120, and a telescopic mechanism 130, as detailed below:

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the chassis mechanism 110 is used to walk on the ground. In this embodiment, the chassis mechanism 110 is configured as a tracked walking mechanism. In other embodiments, the chassis mechanism 110 may also be configured as a wheeled walking mechanism.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, the cargo platform 120 is hinged to the chassis mechanism 110, enabling the cargo platform 120 to swing left and right relative to the chassis mechanism 110 in the width direction (the width direction of the chassis mechanism 110). In this embodiment, the bottom of the cargo platform 120 is provided with two first connecting plates 140, which are arranged at intervals relative to each other in the vehicle's forward direction. The first connecting plates 140 are provided with first hinge holes. The chassis mechanism 110 is provided with second connecting plates 150 corresponding to the first connecting plates 140, and the second connecting plates 150 are provided with second hinge holes. The connecting shaft 160 passes through both the first hinge holes and the second hinge holes, thereby enabling the cargo platform 120 to be hinged to the chassis mechanism 110 and to swing left and right at a certain angle.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the cargo platform 120 is provided with a plurality of vertically upward guardrails 121. The plurality of guardrails 121 on the cargo platform 120 can be enclosed along the horizontal circumference to form a storage area 122 for stacking photovoltaic panels 500. The guardrails 121 can limit the photovoltaic panels 500 to be installed, thereby ensuring that the photovoltaic panels 500 will not shift or fall off the cargo platform 120 during transportation.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, an elastic pad 123 is provided on the upper surface of the cargo platform 120. The elastic pad 123 is located within the storage area 122 and is used to support the photovoltaic panel 500 within the storage area 122, preventing the photovoltaic panel 500 from directly colliding and being damaged with the upper surface of the cargo platform 120. The elastic pad 123 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or sponge.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 130 is disposed between the chassis mechanism 110 and the cargo platform 120. The telescopic direction of the telescopic mechanism 130 is configured in the height direction. The telescopic mechanism 130 drives the cargo platform 120 to adjust its left and right tilt angles to maintain the stability of the overall structure's center of gravity, making the installation device of this embodiment adaptable to driving on complex terrain and installing photovoltaic panels 500. In some preferred embodiments, the telescopic mechanism 130 includes a first telescopic member 131 and a second telescopic member 132, which are respectively located on both sides of the chassis mechanism 110 in the width direction. Both ends of the first telescopic member 131 and the second telescopic member 132 are hinged to the chassis mechanism 110 and the cargo platform 120, respectively. The telescopic direction of the first telescopic member 131 and the second telescopic member 132 is configured in the height direction. In this embodiment, the left and right tilt angles of the cargo platform 120 can be adjusted by the first telescopic member 131 and the second telescopic member 132 on the left and right sides.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the cargo platform 120 is also equipped with a driver's seat 170, an operation box assembly 180, and a control cabinet assembly 190. The driver's seat 170 is flanked by railings on both sides, and a foot guard is positioned in front of the driver's seat 170. The railings and foot guard, in conjunction, effectively protect the driver from falling off the driver's seat 170 when driving on bumpy or sloping surfaces. The operation box assembly 180 is located on the railing to the right of the driver's seat 170, facilitating driving operations. A battery compartment is located below the cargo platform 120, with batteries inside providing power to the equipment. The control cabinet assembly 190 is equipped with an air compressor. The control cabinet assembly 190 provides an air source for the boom assembly 200 to move; it is equipped with a heat dissipation window and a cooling fan, which can effectively dissipate the large amount of heat generated by the air compressor during operation, reduce the temperature inside the control cabinet, and prevent the air compressor from overheating and failing to operate; the control cabinet assembly 190 is equipped with a horizontal tilt sensor, which can transmit the tilt angle data of the cargo platform 120 to the controller, and the controller controls the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 131 and the second telescopic component 132 on the left and right sides of the chassis mechanism 110, so that the cargo platform 120 remains horizontal; the cargo platform 120 is also equipped with a warning light, which can alert the surrounding personnel to pay attention and avoid the area during operation.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the boom assembly 200 includes a mounting base 210, a first slewing member 220, a column 230, a third telescopic member 240, a first boom 250, a second slewing member 260, a second boom 270, a slide rail 280, a third boom 290, and a fourth telescopic member 2010, as detailed below:

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting base 210 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the cargo platform 120. The first rotating component 220 is located at the upper end of the mounting base 210. The column 230 is vertically mounted, and the lower end of the column 230 is connected to the output end of the first rotating component 220. The first rotating component 220 can drive the column 230 to rotate around its axis. The lower end of the third telescopic component 240 is hinged to the column 230, and the upper end of the third telescopic component 240 is hinged to the left end of the first arm 250. The upper end of the column 230 is hinged to the middle position of the first arm 250. The telescopic direction of the third telescopic component 240 is configured in the height direction. When the third telescopic component 240 telescopically extends or retracts, it can drive the first arm 250 to perform a pitching motion. The second rotating component 260 is located at the right end of the first arm 250 (i.e., the end away from the third telescopic component 240). One end of the second arm 270 is connected to the output end of the second rotating member 260, which can drive the second arm 270 to rotate horizontally. The slide rail 280 is located at the other end of the second arm 270 (i.e., the end away from the second rotating member 260), and the length direction of the slide rail 280 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second arm 270. The third arm 290 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 280, and the length direction of the third arm 290 is consistent with the length direction of the slide rail 280. One end of the fourth telescopic member 2010 is connected to the slide rail 280, and the other end of the fourth telescopic member 2010 is connected to the third arm 290. The extension and retraction direction of the fourth telescopic member 2010 is consistent with the sliding direction of the third arm 290. When the fourth telescopic member 2010 extends or retracts, the third arm 290 can slide relative to the slide rail 280 in its length direction.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction cup assembly 300 is mounted on the third arm 290. The first rotating member 220, the third telescopic member 240, the second rotating member 260, and the fourth telescopic member 2010 drive the corresponding mechanisms to adjust their posture, thereby enabling the suction cup assembly 300 to move to the position of the photovoltaic panel 500 to pick up the photovoltaic panel 500 and install it. In this embodiment, the arm assembly 200 has a flexible structure and can adapt to different working conditions.

[0037] like Figure 8As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the boom assembly 200 further includes an L-shaped swing arm 2020 and a fifth telescopic member 2030. The middle portion of the L-shaped swing arm 2020 is hinged to the lower end of the third arm 290, and the back side of the suction cup assembly 300 is hinged to the lower end of the third arm 290. One end of the L-shaped swing arm 2020 is hinged to the back side of the suction cup assembly 300. The fifth telescopic member 2030 is disposed on the third arm 290, and its telescopic end is hinged to the other end of the L-shaped swing arm 2020. The telescopic direction of the fifth telescopic member 2030 is consistent with the length direction of the third arm 290. In this embodiment, by driving the L-shaped swing arm 2020 to rotate through the fifth telescopic member 2030, the suction cup assembly 300 can be driven to tilt by ±90°. When installing the photovoltaic panel 500, the left and right photovoltaic panels 500 can be installed along the forward direction, which can greatly improve the photovoltaic installation efficiency.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the first telescopic member 131, the second telescopic member 132, the third telescopic member 240, the fourth telescopic member 2010, and the fifth telescopic member 2030 are all configured as telescopic cylinders. The first rotating member 220 and the second rotating member 260 are both configured as rotary cylinders or rotary drive components such as motors.

[0039] like Figure 9 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the installation device further includes an operating handle assembly 400; the operating handle assembly 400 includes a handle frame 410, a hinge rod 420, and a handle body 430; one end of the hinge rod 420 is fixedly connected to the handle frame 410, and the other end of the hinge rod 420 is hinged to the suction cup assembly 300; the handle body 430 is disposed on the handle frame 410, and the handle body 430 is used to control the operation of the boom assembly 200 and the suction cup assembly 300. In this embodiment, the handle body 430 is provided with control buttons for controlling the various telescopic and rotating components, and also with control buttons for controlling the release and suction of the suction cup assembly 300.

[0040] In this embodiment, the handle body 430 is positioned near the suction cup assembly 300, allowing the operator to clearly see the workpiece's status during robot operation. This facilitates workpiece installation and handling. In complex installation situations, operation can be performed from outside the vehicle's field of vision, avoiding misoperation due to limited visibility. The handle frame 410 is hinged to the suction cup assembly 300 via a hinge rod 420, allowing the operator to adjust the handle body 430 to accommodate changes in the suction cup assembly 300's posture.

[0041] like Figure 9As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the handle frame 410 includes a first frame 411 and a second frame 412. The first frame 411 is slidably inserted into the second frame 412, so that the distance between the first frame 411 and the second frame 412 can be changed. The handle frame 410 is disposed on the second frame 412. Specifically, the first frame 411 and the second frame 412 are assembled to form an integral handle frame 410. Due to the sliding insertion and cooperation of the first frame 411 and the second frame 412, the handle frame 410 can be extended in length to adapt to the working condition when the suction cup assembly 300 is raised to a high position. The end of the hinge rod 420 is fixedly connected to the first frame 411, and the handle body 430 is disposed on the second frame 412. When the suction cup assembly 300 is raised to a high position, the operator can hold the second frame 412 and the handle body 430 at a lower position to operate the equipment.
