[0022] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, illustrates the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a positioning mechanism for a photovoltaic panel frame, including a positioning platform 1, a support column 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning platform 1 for supporting the entire positioning platform 1, and a photovoltaic panel 3 arranged above the positioning platform 1;

[0024] The upper surface of the positioning platform 1 is provided with a positioning groove 4. An electric push rod 5 is installed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 4. An installation plate 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 5. The installation plate 6 is pushed and displaced by the electric push rod 5. A fixing component 7 is fixedly connected inside the installation plate 6. A hydraulic rod 8 is fixedly connected inside the fixing component 7. A slider 9 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic rod 8. The lifting and lowering of the hydraulic rod 8 drives the slider 9 to move synchronously. A connecting rod 10 is welded to one side of the slider 9. A lower clamping plate 11 is welded to the end of the connecting rod 10.

[0025] A slider 12 is slidably connected to the fixed component 7. A connecting rod 13 is welded to one side of the slider 12. An upper clamping plate 14 is welded to the end of the connecting rod 13. A pressure sensor is installed inside the lower surface of the upper clamping plate 14. The photovoltaic frame is clamped by the upper clamping plate 14 and the lower clamping plate 11.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 The electric push rod 5 is installed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 4 facing the center of the positioning platform 1, so that the electric push rod 5 pushes the mounting plate 6 toward the center of the positioning platform 1.

[0027] The positioning platform 1 has an internal installation section. A linear motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation section, which raises and lowers the installation section. A vacuum pump 17 is fixedly connected inside the installation section. Several suction cups 16 are evenly installed in the center of the upper surface of the positioning platform 1. The lower part of the suction cups 16 is connected to the vacuum pump 17 through a pipe. The photovoltaic panel 3 is placed on the suction cup 16, and the center of the photovoltaic panel 3 coincides with the center of the central suction cup 16. After the vacuum pump 17 is started, the air inside the suction cup 16 will be extracted, so that the suction cup 16 vacuum adsorbs the photovoltaic panel 3, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the photovoltaic panel 3.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 , 4 The fixing component 7 includes a fixing rod 71, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting plate 6. A first column 72 and a second column 73 are welded to the top of both ends of the fixing rod 71 to provide displacement guidance. A crossbar 74 is welded to the top of the first column 72 and the second column 73. A lifting rod 75 is rotatably connected to the middle of the crossbar 74. The lifting rod 75 is a structure of two rods connected at their ends, with the two rods located on opposite sides of the crossbar 74. A through hole is provided at the connection point of the lifting rod 75. A hydraulic rod 8 is riveted to the center above the fixing rod 71. A slider 9 is slidably connected to the column of the first column 72. A connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the through hole on one side of the lifting rod 75. When the hydraulic rod 8 drives the slider 9 to move upward, the slider 9 slides upward on the first column 72, thereby causing the side of the connecting rod 10 connected to the lifting rod 75 to rise, thus raising the lower clamping plate 11.

[0029] The second slider 12 is slidably connected to the column body of the second column 73, and the second connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the other side of the lifting rod 75 through hole. When the side of the lifting rod 75 connected to the first connecting rod 10 is raised, the side connected to the second connecting rod 13 will be lowered, which will cause the second slider 12 to slide down on the second column 73, driving the second connecting rod 13 down while the upper clamping plate 14 is lowered and moves closer to the raised upper clamping plate 14 until they are in contact.

[0030] A calibration rod 15 is welded to the upper surface of the connecting rod 10. A pressure sensor 2 is installed inside the rod body of the calibration rod 15. The upper end of the calibration rod 15 passes through the connecting rod 2 13 and is slidably connected to the connecting rod 2 13. When the upper clamping plate 14 moves downward, the connecting rod 2 13 slides downward on the rod body of the calibration rod 15.

[0031] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel 3 is first placed above the suction cup 16. The electric push rod 5 is driven to move all the mounting plates 6 toward the center of the positioning platform 1. At this time, the upper clamping plate 14 and the lower clamping plate 11 are not closed. When the pressure sensors 2 in the calibration rods 15 on both sides receive pressure feedback, the mounting plates 6 stop moving. This continues until the electric push rods 5 in all directions stop pushing, indicating that the photovoltaic panel 3 is now located at the center of the positioning platform 1. Then, the suction cup 16 accurately adsorbs and positions the photovoltaic panel 3 in the center of the positioning platform 1, and the drive... The linear motor, in conjunction with the camera and other equipment, ensures that after the photovoltaic panel 3 is fixed, its edge is located in the center between the upper clamping plate 14 and the lower clamping plate 11. After the frame is placed stably on the lower clamping plate 11, the hydraulic rod 8 is activated to make the upper clamping plate 14 and the lower clamping plate 11 move closer and closer until the pressure sensor in the upper clamping plate 14 detects contact with the surface of the frame and stops. At this time, the frame has been clamped and positioned. Then, the electric push rod 5 pushes the mounting plate 6 to move towards the center of the positioning platform 1, so that the frame moves closer and closer to the edge of the photovoltaic panel 3 until it contacts it and stops, thus achieving the positioning of the frame.
