Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic panel installation robot. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, and are mainly made of silicon. They can be installed in various environments such as rooftops, deserts, and lakes for power generation and energy storage. The applications of photovoltaic panels are very wide-ranging, including but not limited to residential rooftops, commercial buildings, agricultural facilities, and public utilities.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) installation requires a large amount of manual labor. A typical PV panel weighs about 40 kg and usually needs to be lifted onto shelves manually. This installation method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the cost of PV panel installation, but also poses certain safety hazards due to the weight of the PV panels, which can easily lead to accidents during installation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a PV panel installation robot to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A photovoltaic panel installation robot includes a track and a rotating platform disposed on one side of the track. The rotating platform is rotatably connected to a chassis, the top of the chassis is fixedly connected to a control box, and a storage component for storing photovoltaic panels is disposed on one side of the chassis.

[0007] The top of the chassis is equipped with a feeding assembly for installing photovoltaic panels;

[0008] The top of the chassis is equipped with clamping components to ensure stable installation of the photovoltaic panels;

[0009] A flipping component is provided on one side of the chassis to facilitate quick picking up of photovoltaic panels by clamping the components.

[0010] The above technical solutions can improve the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panels and reduce the risks and difficulties of manual operation.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the storage component includes a mounting frame disposed on one side of the chassis, and a tray is disposed inside the mounting frame, and the photovoltaic panels are stacked inside the tray.

[0012] The above technical solution allows for the storage of trays and photovoltaic panels using a mounting rack, enabling robots to install multiple photovoltaic panels.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the flipping component includes a mounting groove opened on one side of the chassis, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both inner walls of the mounting groove. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting frame.

[0014] The above technical solutions facilitate the adjustment of the mounting bracket's position by the staff.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a fixed base is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the chassis, and an electric cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed base. The output end of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to one side outer wall of the mounting bracket.

[0016] The above technical solution involves activating an electric cylinder, which, through its lifting action, allows for rapid adjustment of the mounting frame's tilt angle, enabling the frame to be flipped from a vertical position to the desired angle. This facilitates subsequent clamping of components and removal of photovoltaic panels from the tray.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the feeding assembly includes a robotic arm disposed on the top of the chassis, one end of the robotic arm is fixedly connected to a first electric slide, and a second electric slide is disposed at the bottom of the first electric slide.

[0020] The above technical solution provides good support and reinforcement for the robotic arm, ensuring its stability when rotating the photovoltaic panel.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that the clamping assembly includes connecting plates disposed on both sides of the first electric slide, the top of the connecting plate is provided with a round hole, an air guide tube is fixedly connected in the round hole, and a suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the air guide tube.

[0022] The above technical solution enables the suction cup to stably adsorb the photovoltaic panel, facilitating the robot's transfer and installation of the photovoltaic panel.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that there are eight sets of suction cups, which are equally distributed on both sides of the first electric slide.

[0024] The above technical solutions ensure the stability of the suction cup when adsorbing and fixing the photovoltaic panel.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can effectively improve the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panels and reduce the risks and difficulties of manual operation. Specifically, through the setting of storage components, feeding components, clamping components, and flipping components, after the tray is stably installed, the robot arm is activated to move the clamping component to the top of the mounting frame. The air duct at one end of the suction cup is connected to the external negative pressure system. The negative pressure system can generate a large suction force through the suction cup. At this time, the suction cup can tightly adsorb and fix the photovoltaic panel inside the tray. After the photovoltaic panel is firmly fixed, the control system sends the installation coordinates to the robot. After the installation coordinates are determined, the robot arm moves the clamping component to the photovoltaic bracket again. After the photovoltaic panel is stably installed, the negative pressure system is turned off. At this time, the suction force in the suction cup disappears instantly, thereby releasing the adsorption and fixing effect on the photovoltaic panel, and allowing the clamping component to quickly separate from the installed photovoltaic panel. Then, the staff repeats this process to install the next photovoltaic panel. The whole installation process is time-saving and labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Reference Figures 1-5 A photovoltaic panel installation robot includes a track 1 and a rotating platform 19 disposed on one side of the track 1. The rotating platform 19 is rotatably connected to a chassis 2, the top of the chassis 2 is fixedly connected to a control box 3, and a storage component for storing photovoltaic panels 6 is disposed on one side of the chassis 2.

[0037] The top of the chassis 2 is equipped with a feeding assembly for installing the photovoltaic panel 6;

[0038] The top of the chassis 2 is equipped with a clamping assembly to ensure the stable installation of the photovoltaic panel 6;

[0039] A flipping component is provided on one side of the chassis 2 to facilitate the quick picking up of photovoltaic panels 6 by clamping components, which can improve the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panels 6 and reduce the risks and difficulties of manual operation.

[0040] To improve the installation efficiency of photovoltaic panel 6, refer to Figures 1-2 The storage component includes a mounting frame 4 located on one side of the chassis 2. The mounting frame 4 has a tray 5 inside, and the photovoltaic panels 6 are stacked inside the tray 5. The mounting frame 4 can store the tray 5 and the photovoltaic panels 6, enabling the robot to install multiple photovoltaic panels 6.

[0041] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of mounting bracket 4 by staff, refer to... Figure 4 The flipping assembly includes a mounting groove 18 formed on one side of the chassis 2. The inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 18 are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 17. One end of the rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 16, which is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the mounting frame 4.

[0042] To facilitate the clamping assembly's unloading of the photovoltaic panels 6 inside tray 5, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 A fixed base 8 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the chassis 2. An electric cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed base 8. The output end of the electric cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of one side of the mounting frame 4. Before the photovoltaic panel 6 needs to be removed, the operator can first start the electric cylinder 7. Through the lifting and lowering operation of the electric cylinder 7, the tilt angle of the mounting frame 4 can be quickly adjusted, realizing the flipping operation of the mounting frame 4, flipping the mounting frame 4 from the vertical state to the horizontal state, thereby facilitating the subsequent clamping of components to remove the photovoltaic panel 6 inside the tray 5.

[0043] To increase the installation length of photovoltaic panel 6 and expand its installation area, refer to Figures 2-3 The feeding assembly includes a robotic arm 10 mounted on the top of the chassis 2. One end of the robotic arm 10 is fixedly connected to a first electric slide 11, which can move the photovoltaic panel 6 in the Z-axis direction. A second electric slide 12 is mounted on the bottom of the first electric slide 11, which can move the photovoltaic panel 6 in the X-direction.

[0044] To ensure the stability of the robotic arm 10 during operation, refer to Figure 1 A support platform 9 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the chassis 2, and the robotic arm 10 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the chassis 2. The support platform 9 can provide good support and reinforcement for the robotic arm 10, ensuring that the robotic arm 10 remains stable when rotating the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0045] To ensure the stability of photovoltaic panel 6 during installation and transportation, refer to Figure 3 The clamping assembly includes connecting plates 13 disposed on both sides of the first electric slide 11. A circular hole is opened on the top of the connecting plate 13, and an air guide tube 15 is fixedly connected in the circular hole. A suction cup 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the air guide tube 15. The suction cup 14 can stably adsorb the photovoltaic panel 6, which facilitates the robot's transfer and installation of the photovoltaic panel 6.

[0047] Working Principle: When photovoltaic panels 6 need to be installed, an external forklift lifts a pallet 5 containing the photovoltaic panels 6, and then places the pallet 5 vertically on the mounting frame 4. After the pallet 5 is stably assembled, the operator can activate the electric cylinder 7. Through the lifting and lowering operation of the electric cylinder 7, the tilt angle of the mounting frame 4 can be quickly adjusted, realizing the flipping operation of the mounting frame 4 from a vertical state to a horizontal state. This facilitates the subsequent clamping component to pick up the photovoltaic panels 6 from inside the pallet 5. After the mounting frame 4 is adjusted, the robotic arm 10 is activated to move the clamping component above the mounting frame 4, connecting the air guide pipe 15 at one end of the suction cup 14 to the external negative pressure system. The negative pressure system can... The suction cup 14 generates a strong suction force, which can tightly adhere and fix the photovoltaic panel 6 inside the tray 5. After the photovoltaic panel 6 is firmly adhered and fixed, the control system sends the installation coordinates to the robot. Once the installation coordinates are determined, the robotic arm 10 moves the clamping component onto the photovoltaic bracket 20. After the photovoltaic panel 6 is stably installed, the negative pressure system is turned off. At this time, the suction force in the suction cup 14 disappears instantly, thereby releasing the adhesion and fixing effect on the photovoltaic panel 6, allowing the clamping component to quickly separate from the installed photovoltaic panel 6. Then, the staff repeats this process to install the next photovoltaic panel 6. The entire installation process is time-saving and labor-saving, effectively improving the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 6 and reducing the risks and difficulties of manual operation.
