[0031] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the glass suction cup holder includes: a fixed base assembly 10, a driving assembly 20, and a suction cup assembly 30. The driving assembly 20 is connected to the fixed base assembly 10. The suction cup assembly 30 includes a connecting structure 31, a mounting frame structure 32, multiple suction cup structures 33, and multiple negative pressure structures 34. The connecting structure 31 is connected to the driving assembly 20, the mounting frame structure 32 is connected to the connecting structure 31, the multiple suction cup structures 33 are all connected to the mounting frame structure 32, and the multiple negative pressure structures 34 are connected to the multiple suction cup structures 33. The suction cup structures 33 adsorb the glass to be transferred.

[0033] By applying the technical solution of this application embodiment, multiple negative pressure structures 34 are used to control the suction cup structures 33 to change the working state of different suction cup structures 33, thereby changing the area of ​​the suction cup structures 33 providing negative pressure. This is suitable for adsorbing and fixing different types of photovoltaic glass panels. This adjustment method does not require replacing the suction cup structures 33 or changing their positions, resulting in high adjustment efficiency. The drive component 20 then controls the movement of the suction cup assembly 30 to perform loading, unloading, and conveying processes for the photovoltaic glass. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of low production efficiency caused by the slow speed of changing or altering the position of the fixing suction cups in the photovoltaic glass processing process in the prior art.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting frame structure 32 includes a first mounting frame 321 and a second mounting frame 322. Part of the suction cup structures 33 are connected to the first mounting frame 321, and part of the suction cup structures 33 are connected to the second mounting frame 322. Both the first mounting frame 321 and the second mounting frame 322 are movably connected to the connecting structure 31. Moving the first mounting frame 321 and the second mounting frame 322, since both are connected to several suction cup structures 33, changes the distribution of the multiple suction cup structures 33. Combined with the control of multiple negative pressure structures 34, the adsorption area can also be changed, thus making it suitable for more types of photovoltaic glass and more versatile.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first mounting bracket 321 includes a first connecting portion 3211 and a plurality of first fixing portions 3212. The plurality of first fixing portions 3212 are all connected to the first connecting portion 3211 and are located on the side of the first connecting portion 3211 away from the connecting structure 31. The plurality of first fixing portions 3212 are arranged perpendicular to the first connecting portion 3211. The second mounting bracket 322 includes a second connecting portion 3221 and a plurality of second fixing portions 3222. The plurality of second fixing portions 3222 are all connected to the second connecting portion 3221 and are located on the side of the second connecting portion 3221 away from the connecting structure 31. The plurality of second fixing portions 3222 are arranged perpendicular to the second connecting portion 3221. The second connecting portion 3221 is parallel to the first connecting portion 3211. The plurality of first connecting portions 3211 and the plurality of second connecting portions 3221 are arranged alternately. In this embodiment, the first connecting part 3211, the first fixing part 3212, the second connecting part 3221, and the second fixing part 3222 are all made of square steel profiles. There are five first fixing parts 3212, each fixedly connected to the first connecting part 3211; there are also five second fixing parts 3222, each fixedly connected to the second connecting part 3221. The first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221 are movably connected to the connecting structure 31, with the direction of movement perpendicular to the first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221. The connecting structure 31 has a raised slide rail. The first connecting part 3211 has a first slide groove corresponding to the raised slide rail, and the second connecting part 3221 has a second slide groove corresponding to the raised slide rail. The width of the raised slide rail decreases continuously along the direction from near to far from the mounting frame structure 32. The cross-sectional shapes of the first and second slide grooves are similar to those of the slide rail. To prevent the first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221 from detaching, a double-headed cylinder is provided between the first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221. The cylinder seat is fixed on the slide rail, and the two output ends of the cylinder are respectively connected to the first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221 to control the first connecting part 3211 and the second connecting part 3221 to move closer or further apart, thereby changing the position of multiple first fixing parts 3212 and multiple second fixing parts 3222, and thus changing the distribution of multiple suction cups. The multiple first connecting parts 3211 and multiple second connecting parts 3221 are staggered to avoid interference between the first fixing parts 3212 and the second fixing parts 3222 when the first mounting bracket 321 and the second mounting bracket 322 are moved.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting frame structure 32 further includes a third mounting frame 323, which is detachably connected to the first mounting frame 321. A portion of the suction cup structure 33 is connected to the third mounting frame 323. When the suction cup structure 33 on the first mounting frame 321 and the second mounting frame 322 cannot meet the current glass fixing requirements, the third mounting frame 323 is moved parallel to the current arrangement direction, changing its installation position and further expanding the distribution area of ​​the suction cup structure 33 to accommodate glass of more sizes.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction cup structure 33 includes a mounting base 331, a suction cup 332, and a first conduit. The mounting base 331 is connected to the mounting frame structure 32, the suction cup 332 is connected to the first conduit, and the first conduit is connected to the negative pressure structure 34. The first conduit passes through the mounting base 331. In this embodiment, the negative pressure structure 34 is a vacuum solenoid valve, used to control the negative pressure of the first conduit and the suction cup, thereby adsorbing the glass. The mounting base 331 is fixed on the mounting frame structure 32, providing an installation position for the suction cup 332. In this embodiment, the suction cups 332 include multiple rows and columns, and the negative pressure structures 34 include multiple structures. The first negative pressure structure 34 simultaneously controls the negative pressure of the suction cups 332 in row x and column y, which is the initial region a. The second negative pressure structure 34 controls the negative pressure of the suction cups 332 in the row and column adjacent to region a. By simultaneously activating the first and second negative pressure structures 34, an L-shaped region, region b, can be added based on the initial region for fixing larger photovoltaic glass. The third negative pressure structure 34 controls the negative pressure of the suction cups 332 in the row and column adjacent to region b, and so on. The above control structure meets the needs of fixing glass of different sizes while minimizing the number of negative pressure structures 34, reducing equipment costs, simplifying control, and facilitating operation by staff.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the suction cup structure 33 further includes a first connecting segment 333, a second connecting segment 334, a third connecting segment 335, and an elastic member 336. The first connecting segment 333 is connected to the mounting base 331. The second connecting segment 334 is movably inserted into the first connecting segment 333 and is connected to the third connecting segment 335. The third connecting segment 335 is connected to the suction cup 332. The elastic member 336 is sleeved on the second connecting segment 334. The elastic member 336 is partially located inside the first connecting segment 333. The first end of the elastic member 336 is connected to the mounting base 331, and the second end of the elastic member 336 is connected to the third connecting segment 335. The first connecting segment 333 guides the extension and retraction of the second connecting segment 334 and the elastic element 336. The two ends of the elastic element 336 are respectively fixed to the end face of the third connecting segment 335 and the mounting base 331. When the glass is not adsorbed, the elastic element 336 is stretched under the action of gravity, but the second connecting segment 334 is always partially located inside the first connecting segment 333 and will not completely detach. When the glass is adsorbed and fixed, the driving component 20 drives the suction cup component 30 to approach the glass, the suction cup structure 33 presses on the glass surface, the elastic element 336 is compressed, and the impact is absorbed to prevent the photovoltaic glass from being subjected to too much pressure and breaking.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first connecting section 333, the second connecting section 334, and the third connecting section 335 are all hollow structures, and the first pipe passes through the first connecting section 333, the second connecting section 334, and the third connecting section 335 in sequence. The first pipe is movably installed on the first connecting section 333 and the mounting base 331, and moves upward when the suction cup 332 presses against the glass, ensuring that the spring can extend and retract, thereby absorbing the impact.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the technical solution of this embodiment, the glass suction cup holder also includes a monitoring component. The monitoring component is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the suction cup structure 33, and the monitoring component is connected to the mounting base 331. The monitoring component is used to monitor whether there is photovoltaic glass under the suction cup structure 33, and then determine whether the corresponding negative pressure structure 34 needs to be activated. The monitoring component can be a photoelectric sensor or other structure.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the technical solution of this embodiment, the glass suction cup holder also includes a control terminal. A monitoring component is connected to the control terminal, and multiple negative pressure structures 34 are also connected to the control terminal. The drive component 20 controls the suction cup assembly 30 to move above the glass. The monitoring component and the control terminal are connected via a signal, such as Bluetooth. The monitoring component sends its monitoring results to the control terminal. The control terminal, by combining the monitoring results from multiple monitoring components, determines the approximate size of the glass and controls the corresponding negative pressure structure 34 to activate, thus adsorbing and fixing the glass. This structure enables automatic control of the suction cup assembly 30, reducing labor costs while improving efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown in the technical solution of this embodiment, the driving component is a robot arm. The robot arm includes a base, a rotating part, a first arm segment, and a second arm segment. The base is fixedly connected to the fixed base assembly 10. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the base, and the rotation axis is parallel to the vertical direction. The first arm segment is rotatably connected to the rotating part, and the second arm segment is rotatably connected to the first arm segment. The end of the second arm segment away from the first arm segment has a rotatable output end, which is connected to the connecting structure. The robot arm has a high degree of freedom. It can be used to adjust the suction cup assembly 30 to pick up or put down photovoltaic glass in cases where the glass is placed horizontally, vertically, or tilted. It has high versatility.

[0043] In other embodiments, the fixed base assembly 10 includes a fixed base structure 11 and a traveling structure, the traveling structure being connected to the fixed base structure 11, and the drive assembly 20 being connected to the fixed base structure 11. The traveling structure uses casters with brakes, which facilitates the movement of the fixed base assembly 10 and the drive assembly 20 and suction cup assembly 30 mounted thereon by workers, making it easy to move the entire glass suction cup frame to the required workstation for use in various processes.

[0044] In summary, in this application, photovoltaic glass is adsorbed by the adsorption device (suction cup assembly 30), and then transferred by a robot (drive assembly). Under the control of different vacuum solenoid valves (negative pressure structure 34), the suction cups 332 distributed in different glass areas are controlled, thereby achieving the adsorption of glass of different sizes without the need for manual adjustment of the suction cup 332 position. This application solves the problem of adapting to the adsorption of products of different sizes without requiring manual position adjustment. Beneficial effects: Increased production capacity and efficiency.
