Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of laminator processing auxiliary devices, and in particular to a cycle-type laminator component conveying fixture. Background Technology

[0002] The photovoltaic module laminator is a core piece of equipment in the photovoltaic module production process. Its main function is to press glass, EVA, cell strings, and photovoltaic module backsheet into photovoltaic modules through vacuum hot pressing. The lamination process mainly includes three stages: lamination, curing, and cooling. With the development of photovoltaic module encapsulation equipment technology, their sizes and production capacities are getting larger and larger, resulting in high equipment and production costs, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the industry. This technology is based on cycle-controlled laminator technology, which can complete one module every 12-18 seconds. Combined with the cycle of the module production line, it achieves the fastest production efficiency. Furthermore, only one module is laminated per cavity, minimizing vacuum efficiency and product yield caused by failures. The product's lightweight design facilitates installation, transportation, and maintenance.

[0003] Currently, in photovoltaic module laminator technology, the high-temperature cloth conveying system transports the modules from the feeding table into the lamination chamber for lamination. During solar module lamination, to prevent substances from adhering to the laminator at high temperatures, Teflon high-temperature cloth must be used as a pad and cover to keep the upper and lower surfaces of the modules clean. Simultaneously, specific tooling is required to achieve the required uniform thickness of the laminated modules. Existing laminator processes lack dedicated conveying fixtures to assist in the lamination process; therefore, designing a cycle-type laminator module conveying fixture to address these technical issues is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing laminators do not have specially designed conveying fixtures to assist in lamination processing, and to propose a cycle-type laminator component conveying fixture.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cycle-type laminator component conveying fixture, including a support frame, the support frame being symmetrically distributed from left to right, the support frame being a hollow shell structure, serving as an air passage pipe for assisting airflow, an air control crossbar being installed between adjacent support frames, high-temperature cloth being installed on the upper and lower sides of the air control crossbar, the upper layer of high-temperature cloth being the upper cloth, the lower layer of high-temperature cloth being the lower cloth, an air blowing pipe being provided between the upper cloth and the lower cloth, and multiple sets of airbags of different specifications being provided between the upper cloth and the lower cloth.

[0006] Preferably, the air blowing pipe is connected to the bracket on the right side.

[0007] Preferably, the pneumatic control crossbar is provided with multiple sets of air nozzles, and the multiple sets of air nozzles are connected to the air blowing pipe.

[0008] Preferably, both the upper and lower fabrics are provided with air holes.

[0009] Preferably, an inflation head is installed at the upper end of each of the brackets.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] In this utility model, compared with the conventional method of not designing an auxiliary conveying mechanism for laminating machine processing, the technical solution adopted by this utility model can realize the chainless transmission and conveying of components, eliminate the need for a motor drive system, reduce the consumption of high-temperature fabric belts, and the same set of tooling can adapt to components of different thicknesses and specifications. The overall structure is compact, the spatial layout is reasonable, and it is easy to install and maintain, thus solving the problem of the lack of a dedicated auxiliary conveying tooling for laminating process in the existing laminating machine processing.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] This utility model provides a conveying fixture for a cycle-type laminator assembly, including a support 1. The support 1 is symmetrically distributed on both sides, and an inflation head 7 is installed at the upper end of each support 1 on both sides. The support 1 has a hollow shell structure and serves as an air passage to assist airflow. An air-controlled crossbar 2 is installed between adjacent supports 1. High-temperature cloth is installed on the upper and lower sides of the air-controlled crossbar 2. The upper high-temperature cloth is an upper cloth 3, and the lower high-temperature cloth is a lower cloth 4. An air blowing pipe 5 is provided between the upper cloth 3 and the lower cloth 4. Multiple sets of airbags 6 of different specifications are also provided between the upper cloth 3 and the lower cloth 4. The air blowing pipe 5 is connected to the support 1 on the right side. Multiple sets of air nozzles 201 are provided on the air-controlled crossbar 2, and the multiple sets of air nozzles 201 are connected to the air blowing pipe 5. Air holes 401 are provided on both the upper cloth 3 and the lower cloth 4.

[0021] In actual use, after the laminar flow laminator module conveying fixture is placed into the fixture, the laminator transfer device (such as a robotic arm) simultaneously engages with the pneumatic control crossbars 2 at both ends. At the same time, the air nozzles 201 on the robotic arm connect correspondingly to the air nozzles 201 on the pneumatic control crossbars 2. The air nozzles 201, with pressure set according to the formula, inflate compressed air into the air bladders 6, causing them to inflate and form a protective frame for the module. The inflation pressure can be set according to the module thickness, thereby adjusting the height of the inflated air bladders 6 to provide auxiliary protection during the lamination process. Furthermore, air bladders 6 of different widths can accommodate solar cell modules of varying widths. Simply select different air nozzles 201 in the program settings. The air nozzles 201 on the robotic arm are connected to the air nozzles 201 on the pneumatic control crossbar 2, blowing compressed air at a certain pressure into the air passages supporting the high-temperature fabric bag. Each air passage has many evenly distributed air holes 401, which are located below the high-temperature fabric bag. After the airflow exits, it is located between the laminator heating plate and the high-temperature fabric bag. Different blowing pressures are set according to the weight of the components. When the components enter or exit the laminator, the air valve opens, supplying compressed air into the air duct. This creates an air barrier between the high-temperature fabric bag and the laminator heating plate, effectively reducing friction between the high-temperature fabric bag and the laminator heating plate when the components are being moved in and out of the laminator. This significantly extends the service life of the high-temperature fabric bag. Compared to conventional laminator processing without an auxiliary conveying mechanism, the technical solution adopted by this invention enables chain-less transmission and conveying of components, eliminating the need for a motor-driven system. This reduces the consumption of high-temperature fabric belts. The same tooling can accommodate components of different thicknesses and specifications. The overall structure is compact, the spatial layout is reasonable, and it is easy to install and maintain.

[0022] Working principle: After the laminated module is placed into the fixture, the laminator's transfer device (such as a robotic arm) simultaneously connects to the pneumatic control crossbars at both ends. At the same time, the air nozzles on the robotic arm connect to the corresponding air nozzles on the pneumatic control crossbars. The air nozzles, according to the formula's pressure setting, inflate the airbags, causing them to rise and form a protective frame for the module. The inflation pressure can be set according to the module's thickness, thereby adjusting the height of the inflated airbag to provide auxiliary protection during the lamination process. Furthermore, airbags of different widths can accommodate solar cell modules of varying widths. Different air nozzles can be selected simply in the program settings.
