Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a battery string positioning and transport mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the photovoltaic module manufacturing process, after sorting and laser scribing, the cells are stacked one by one and then welded together to form a battery string. Because the battery strings are not stacked evenly and are misaligned, the entire stack of battery strings needs to be shaped and straightened. Currently, this shaping and straightening of battery strings and their transfer to the next string welding process is mostly done manually. Manual operation has the following drawbacks: human technique and force vary, and forced straightening can squeeze the battery strings, causing damage or scratches; additionally, the battery strings are sharp, and improper handling can easily cut fingers, reducing production efficiency to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery string positioning and transport mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical measures: a battery string positioning and transporting mechanism, comprising a frame, characterized in that: a moving part and a positioning part are provided within the frame, the moving part includes a transfer motor fixedly connected to the frame, a synchronous pulley bracket fixedly connected to the frame is provided in front of the transfer motor, a synchronous belt for transmission is rotatably connected within the synchronous pulley bracket, a transmission block is provided on the synchronous belt, a moving crossbeam is fixedly connected to the transmission block, and an up-and-down moving cylinder is connected to the moving crossbeam. The lower moving cylinder is connected to a suction beam, on which a bracket is provided.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 -5.

[0024] This embodiment provides a battery string positioning and transporting mechanism, including a frame 1 (as the mounting carrier of the entire device). A moving part and a positioning part are provided in the frame 1. The function of the moving part is to pick up one folded battery string 11 placed in the loading box 27 and automatically transport it to the base plate 13 of the positioning part. The function of the positioning part is to align the battery string 11 with the left and right adjustment module 14 and the front and back adjustment module 15 to facilitate the processing of the next process.

[0025] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The moving part includes a transfer motor 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1. A synchronous pulley bracket 3 fixedly connected to the frame 1 is provided in front of the transfer motor 2. The synchronous pulley bracket 3 contains a synchronous pulley, and a synchronous belt 4 is fitted around the synchronous pulley to rotate it.

[0026] Furthermore, a transmission block 5 is provided on the synchronous belt 4, and the transmission block 5 is fixedly connected to the moving crossbeam 6. Two sets of up-and-down moving cylinders 7 are respectively connected to both sides of the moving crossbeam 6, and the up-and-down moving cylinders 7 are connected to the suction crossbeam 8. The function of the up-and-down moving cylinders 7 is to make the suction crossbeam 8 move up and down, pick up the battery string 11, and then return to the starting point.

[0027] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 3 The bottom surface of the suction beam 8 is provided with a bracket 9. In this embodiment, there are 9 sets of brackets 9. Each set of brackets 9 is equipped with a suction component 10. The front end of the suction component 10 is provided with a suction cup 12 for holding the battery string 11, and the rear end of the suction component 10 is equipped with a vacuum suction tube 28.

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 5 The positioning unit includes a left-right adjustment module 14 and a front-back adjustment module 15 for aligning and positioning the battery string 11 placed on the base plate 13. The left-right adjustment module 14 includes a left positioning plate 16 and a right positioning plate 17 that are symmetrically positioned. A left push rod 18 and a right push rod 19 are respectively fixed on the left positioning plate 16 and the right positioning plate 17. A first guide rail 20 is provided at the bottom of the left-right adjustment module 14. Under the control of a cylinder (since the cylinder is on the back and is not shown in the figure, it can also be controlled by a motor, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here), the left push rod 18 and the right push rod 19 on the left-right adjustment module 14 can be simultaneously clamped inward or released outward to align the battery string 11 in the X direction.

[0029] Furthermore, the front and rear adjustment module 15 includes an adjustment cylinder 21 and a cylinder baffle 22, which operate on the same principle as the previous paragraph. The cylinder baffle 22 can move forward and backward to align the battery string 11 in the Y direction.

[0030] Furthermore, the movable crossbeam 6 is movably fixed to the frame 1 via the second guide rail 23 and the slider 26. This allows the movable crossbeam 6 to move smoothly between the loading box 27 and the positioning part within the bracket 9, transporting the battery string 11.

[0031] Furthermore, the brackets 9 are arranged on both sides of the suction beam 8. This arrangement on both sides allows the battery string 11 to be held more stably.

[0032] Furthermore, the suction cup 12 is made of rubber. Because rubber is flexible, it will not damage the battery string 11 when vacuum suction is used.

[0033] Furthermore, the support 9 is provided with a U-shaped groove 24. This allows the suction assembly 10 to be adjusted within the U-shaped groove 24, thereby accommodating battery strings 11 of different widths.

[0034] Furthermore, the suction cup 12 is shaped like a trumpet, which allows for a larger contact area and enhances vacuum suction.

[0035] Furthermore, the base plate 13 is provided with symmetrical clearance grooves 25, the width of which is greater than the width of the left positioning plate 16. This allows the left positioning plate 16 and the right positioning plate 17 to enter the clearance grooves 25, accommodating the alignment and positioning of narrower battery strings 11 and expanding the applicability of the entire mechanism.

[0036] Furthermore, the frame 1 is made of aluminum profile. Aluminum profile is inexpensive and easy to assemble.

[0037] This embodiment provides a battery string positioning and transporting mechanism. During operation, the stacked battery strings 11 are placed into the loading box 27. The moving crossbeam 6 is delivered to the top of the battery strings 11 via the synchronous belt 4. The up-down moving cylinder 7 moves down, and the suction component 10 comes into contact with the battery strings 11 and sucks them up. The up-down moving cylinder 7 returns to its original position, and the moving crossbeam 6 moves forward to the top of the positioning part. The battery strings 11 are then placed on the bottom plate 13. The left-right adjustment module 14 and the front-back adjustment module 15 work to align and straighten the battery strings 11.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting the moving part and the positioning part, the battery string 11 can be automatically and individually placed into the positioning part for alignment and correction, which ensures good consistency and prevents damage or scratches to the battery string 11, as well as scratches to the operator's fingers, thereby improving production efficiency.
