[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the equipment. Detailed Implementation

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the specific implementation methods and embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the appendix. Figure 1 The directions or positional relationships shown are for the purpose of describing this utility model only, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0014] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0015] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model designs an adjustable clamping device for photovoltaic panel welding, including a worktable 1. The worktable 1 is equipped with a rotation adjustment mechanism, the output end of which is connected to a support base 2. The rotation adjustment mechanism includes a first cylinder 3, a push plate 4, a rack 5, bearing seats 6, a drive shaft 7, and a driven shaft 8. The worktable 1 has a through hole running vertically through its center. The support base 2 is located inside the through hole. Two bearing seats 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole. The left and right side plates of the support base 2 are respectively connected to the drive shaft 7 and the driven shaft 8. The drive shaft 7 and the driven shaft 8 are respectively connected to the two bearing seats 6. One end of the drive shaft 7 is also connected to a gear 9, which meshes with the rack 5. The first cylinder 3 is fixed on the worktable 1. The piston rod of the first cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the push plate 4, and the push plate 4 is fixedly connected to the rack 5. The support base 2 is equipped with a tray 10, and the tray 10 is provided with a limiting component for limiting the photovoltaic panel placed on the tray 10. The support base 2 is also provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping the photovoltaic panel located on the tray 10. The piston rod of the first cylinder 3 pushes the push plate 4, which in turn drives the rack 5 fixedly connected to the push plate 4 to move. The rack 5 meshes with the gear 9 at the end of the drive shaft 7, causing the drive shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the support base 2 and the photovoltaic panel on it to adjust the angle. The photovoltaic panel is welded on the tray 10 by manual or automatic welding equipment. After welding is completed, the support base 2 can be flipped by the rotation adjustment mechanism. After flipping, the workpiece can be automatically put down into the conveyor line or receiving box below by simply releasing the clamping mechanism, which reduces the complexity of manual operation and reduces production costs.

[0016] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the rotation adjustment mechanism also includes a guide rail 11 and a slider 12. The guide rail 11 is fixed on the worktable 1 and is arranged parallel to the rack 5. The slider 12 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 11. The bottom of the rack 5 is fixedly connected to the slider 12. This design makes the rack 5 more stable during movement, reduces the shaking of the support seat 2 caused by the unstable movement of the rack 5, and enhances the durability and reliability of the equipment.

[0017] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the clamping mechanism includes a second cylinder 13, a pad 14, and a pressure plate 15. The pad 14 is fixed on the support base 2, the cylinder body of the second cylinder 13 is fixed above the pad 14, and the piston rod of the second cylinder 13 faces the support plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 15. This ensures that the photovoltaic panel remains stable during the welding process, avoids welding defects caused by vibration or movement, and improves the accuracy and quality of welding.

[0018] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the limiting component includes a fixed plate 16 and an adjustable limiting plate 17. The two fixed plates 16 are symmetrically arranged, and the adjustable limiting plate 17 is perpendicular to the fixed plate 16. An adjustment plate 18 is provided on the outer side of the adjustable limiting plate 17. The adjustment plate 18 is provided with an oblong hole, and a positioning bolt 19 is installed in the oblong hole. The positioning bolt 19 is connected to a threaded hole on the support plate 10. By adjusting the position of the positioning bolt 19 in the oblong hole, the position of the limiting plate can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to photovoltaic panels of different sizes, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0019] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the plate of the support base 2 is provided with a plurality of connection holes arranged in a rectangular array, which provides more installation and connection options for the device. This design allows the device to be flexibly expanded and modified according to actual needs, and can be easily assembled and adjusted.
