Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel processing and transfer technology, and more specifically to a photovoltaic laminate substrate processing device. Background Technology
[0002] With the growing global demand for clean energy, solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation technology has developed rapidly. As the core equipment for converting sunlight into electricity, the manufacturing process and efficiency optimization of photovoltaic (PV) modules have become a key focus of the industry. In the production process of PV modules, the laminated substrate is a crucial step, involving the precise stacking of multiple thin films or sheets to form a highly efficient photoelectric conversion structure. The handling process is critical in the production of PV laminated substrates.
[0003] In the traditional photovoltaic (PV) multilayer substrate (TFT) production process, handling operations usually rely on manual labor. Workers need to move the PV TFTs from their flat positions onto shelves and then stand them up. However, this method has many limitations. Manual handling is not only slow and difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale production, but also, because PV TFTs are usually heavy and large in size, long-term handling work can easily cause worker fatigue and increase the risk of workplace injuries. Therefore, it is necessary to design a PV TFT processing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a photovoltaic laminated substrate processing device, which enables the processed photovoltaic laminated substrate to be quickly transported and placed.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a photovoltaic multilayer substrate processing device, including a guide rail and an electric slide rail. The guide rail and the electric slide rail are fixedly and symmetrically laid parallel on the ground for processing and transporting photovoltaic multilayer substrates. It also includes a sliding frame, a cylinder, a suction cup assembly, a shelf, a base, wedge blocks, and a connecting plate. The sliding frame is a U-shaped frame, with one end slidably connected to the guide rail and the other end mounted on the electric slide rail. The cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the sliding frame, and a suction cup assembly is provided on the telescopic rod of the cylinder. The suction cup assembly is used to adsorb and grasp the processed photovoltaic multilayer substrate to be placed. The shelf... The main body of the shelf is an inclined shelf, positioned between a guide rail and an electric slide rail. A base is fixed to the bottom of the shelf, which is then fixed to the ground. Multiple sets of parallel slots are formed on the shelf's placement plate, and connecting plates are installed in each slot. The connecting plates are located within the base, and an elastic element is provided between the connecting plates and the shelf. A wedge block is fixed to the top of the connecting plate and is located within the slot on the shelf's placement plate. Adjacent sets of wedge blocks are inclined and are used to separate the photovoltaic multilayer substrates placed on the shelf, facilitating the removal of the photovoltaic multilayer substrates from the shelf.
[0006] Furthermore, the suction cup assembly includes a mounting post, a suction cup frame, and an electric suction cup. The mounting post is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder, and the suction cup frame is hinged to the lower end of the mounting post. Multiple electric suction cups are mounted on the suction cup frame. The electric suction cups are used to adsorb photovoltaic laminated substrates. The cylinder controls the suction cup frame to lift and lower, so that the electric suction cups on the suction cup frame adsorb the photovoltaic laminated substrates to be transported. With the help of the electric slide rail driving the sliding frame, the electric suction cups can be automatically transported to the shelf for placement under the guidance of the guide rail.
[0007] Furthermore, the suction cup frame consists of a central square substrate and four symmetrical support arms extending from the four corners. Each support arm of the suction cup frame is equipped with no less than two suction cups. The suction cups are evenly distributed on the suction cup frame, ensuring a balanced distribution of adsorption force and improving the stability of adsorption on the entire photovoltaic laminated substrate.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastic element includes guide rods and springs. Multiple sets of guide rods, the same number as the connecting plates, are fixed inside the base. The connecting plates are slidably installed in the base via the guide rods. Springs are provided on the guide rods between the connecting plates and the shelf placement surface. The wedge block protrudes at the slot on the shelf placement surface under the action of the spring, and the wedge block is inclined toward the shelf's support surface.
[0009] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on one side wall of the base. The number of sliding grooves is the same as the number of connecting plates. Each connecting plate corresponds to a sliding groove of the base. One end of the connecting plate extends out from the corresponding base sliding groove. By stepping on the connecting plate, the wedge block on the connecting plate overcomes the elastic force of the spring and retracts into the placement plate of the shelf, thereby facilitating the unlocking of the photovoltaic laminated substrates stacked on the shelf.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support plate and a fan. The support plate is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame, and a fan is installed on the support plate. The fan faces the suction cup assembly and blows away any dust or other impurities that may appear on the photovoltaic multilayer substrate to be transported, so as to avoid the dust on the photovoltaic multilayer substrate from affecting the effective adsorption of the electric suction cup and improve the stability of the suction cup assembly in grasping and transporting the photovoltaic multilayer substrate.
[0011] The beneficial effects are: 1. By combining guide rails and electric slide rails, the sliding frame can move precisely on the set track, and the cylinder controls the lifting and lowering of the suction cup assembly to realize the automatic gripping and placement of photovoltaic laminated substrates. This highly automated handling method can not only improve work efficiency, but also reduce labor intensity and the risk of work-related injuries.
[0012] 2. The suction cup holder of this utility model adopts a design with a central square base plate and four corner support arms to ensure uniform distribution of adsorption force and enhance the stability of adsorption on the entire photovoltaic laminated substrate. In addition, the fan on the sliding frame can effectively remove dust and impurities from the substrate surface, further ensuring the adsorption effect.
[0013] 3. This utility model uses a wedge-shaped block design on the shelf, which utilizes the elastic restoring force provided by the spring to protrude at the grooved part of the shelf, thus separating the photovoltaic stacked substrates and preventing them from shifting or colliding during stacking. When the substrate needs to be removed, simply step on the connecting plate to easily unlock it, which is simple and quick. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0020] A photovoltaic multilayer substrate processing apparatus, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a guide rail 1 and an electric slide rail 2. The guide rail 1 and the electric slide rail 2 are fixed and laid symmetrically and parallel to each other on the ground where the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 is processed and transported. It also includes a sliding frame 3, a cylinder 4, a suction cup assembly 5, a shelf 7, a base 71, a wedge block 8, and a connecting plate 81. The sliding frame 3 is a U-shaped frame, with one end slidably connected to the guide rail 1 and the other end mounted on the electric slide rail 2. The cylinder 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the sliding frame 3. The extension rod of the cylinder 4 is equipped with a suction cup assembly 5, which is used to adsorb and grip the processed photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 to be placed. The shelf 7 is located between the guide rail 1 and the electric slide rail 2. The main body of the shelf 7 is an inclined shelf. The bottom surface of the shelf 7 is fixed with a base 71. The shelf 7 is fixed to the ground through the base 71. Multiple sets of parallel slots are opened on the placement plate of the shelf 7. Each slot on the placement plate of the shelf 7 is provided with a connecting plate 81. The connecting plate 81 is located in the base 71. An elastic element is provided between the connecting plate 81 and the shelf 7. A wedge block 8 is fixed on the top of the connecting plate 81. The wedge block 8 is located in the slot on the placement plate of the shelf 7. The adjacent sets of wedge blocks 8 are inclinedly distributed. The wedge block 8 is used to separate the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 placed on the shelf 7, so that the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 can be taken out from the shelf 7.
[0021] like Figure 2As shown, the suction cup assembly 5 includes a mounting post 51, a suction cup frame 52, and an electric suction cup 53. The mounting post 51 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder 4. The lower end of the mounting post 51 is hinged to the suction cup frame 52. Multiple electric suction cups 53 are mounted on the suction cup frame 52. The electric suction cups 53 are used to adsorb the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6. The cylinder 4 controls the suction cup frame 52 to lift and lower, so that the electric suction cups 53 on the suction cup frame 52 adsorb the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 to be transported. With the help of the electric slide rail 2, the sliding frame 3 is driven to automatically transport the electric suction cups 53 to the shelf 7 for placement under the guidance of the guide rail 1.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup frame 52 consists of a central square substrate and four symmetrical support arms extending from the four corners. Each support arm of the suction cup frame 52 is equipped with no less than two suction cups. The suction cups are evenly distributed on the suction cup frame 52, ensuring a balanced distribution of adsorption force and improving the stability of adsorption on the entire photovoltaic laminated substrate 6.
[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic element includes guide rods 9 and springs 10. Multiple sets of guide rods 9, the same number as the connecting plate 81, are fixed inside the base 71. The connecting plate 81 is slidably installed in the base 71 through the guide rods 9. Springs 10 are provided on the guide rods 9 between the connecting plate 81 and the placement plate surface of the shelf 7. The wedge block 8 protrudes at the slot on the placement plate surface of the shelf 7 under the action of the spring 10. The wedge block 8 is inclined towards the support surface of the shelf 7.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a sliding groove is provided on one side wall of the base 71. The number of sliding grooves is the same as the number of connecting plates 81. The connecting plates 81 correspond to the sliding grooves of the base 71 respectively. One end of the connecting plate 81 extends out from the corresponding sliding groove of the base 71. By stepping on the connecting plate 81, the wedge block 8 on the connecting plate 81 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 10 and retracts into the placement plate surface of the shelf 7, thereby facilitating the unlocking of the photovoltaic stacked substrate 6 stacked on the shelf 7.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a support plate 11 and a fan 12. The support plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frame 3, and the fan 12 is installed on the support plate 11. The fan 12 faces the suction cup assembly 5 and blows away any dust or other impurities that may appear on the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 to be transported, so as to avoid the dust on the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6 from affecting the effective adsorption of the electric suction cup 53 and improve the stability of the suction cup assembly 5 in gripping and transporting the photovoltaic multilayer substrate 6.
[0026] First, when the processed photovoltaic laminated substrate 6 needs to be moved, the electric slide rail 2 drives the sliding frame 3 to move along the guide rail 1 to the designated position, ensuring that the suction cup assembly 5 is facing the target substrate. At this time, the cylinder 4 is activated, causing the telescopic rod to descend, and simultaneously driving the suction cup assembly 5 mounted on it to approach the photovoltaic laminated substrate 6. During the approach to the substrate, the fan 12 starts to operate, blowing air towards the photovoltaic laminated substrate 6 to be moved, effectively removing any dust or other impurities that may be present on the surface, ensuring that the electric suction cup 53 can achieve the best adsorption effect. Once the appropriate distance is reached, multiple electric suction cups 53 are activated simultaneously, generating sufficient negative pressure to firmly adsorb the entire photovoltaic laminated substrate 6. Then, the cylinder 4 controls the suction cup frame 52 to rise, lifting the adsorbed photovoltaic laminated substrate 6. Next, the electric slide rail plays its role again, driving the sliding frame 3 to move horizontally along the guide rail 1 to the designated position. Above shelf 7, wedge blocks 8 naturally protrude from the slots in the shelf 7's placement panel under the action of spring 10, ready to receive new substrates. When they reach the shelf 7, cylinder 4 actuates again, causing suction cup assembly 5 to slowly descend until the photovoltaic laminate substrate 6 gently touches the placement panel. At this time, the operator adjusts the placement angle of the photovoltaic laminate substrate 6 by rotating it. As it descends further, the newly placed substrate can be inserted between the two sets of wedge blocks 8. After the substrate is completely placed, the suction cup releases the vacuum, completing one handling task. If it is necessary to remove the substrate from shelf 7, the connecting plate 81 located on one side of base 71 can be stepped on, causing the connecting plate 81 to overcome the elastic force of spring 10 and retract, thereby causing the wedge blocks 8 to also retract below the placement panel, releasing the locking state of the substrate, thus facilitating subsequent material handling operations.
