Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lid-making equipment technology, and in particular to a lid-closing device and processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The photovoltaic (PV) industry chain is a complete process that starts with the mining of silicon raw materials, through the refining of metallic silicon, the production of polycrystalline silicon, the pulling of silicon rods, the cutting of silicon wafers, and then to the midstream manufacturing of solar cells, ultimately integrating PV modules and constructing PV power plants. PV modules are the core hub of a PV power plant, and their key role is to efficiently and stably convert captured solar energy into electrical energy.

[0003] The manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules involves several key steps, including glass loading, first layer of encapsulant film laying, string welding, layout, stacking welding, second layer of encapsulant film laying, glass assembly, EL visual inspection, edge sealing, lamination, edge trimming, flipping inspection, frame mounting, junction box mounting, potting, curing, cleaning, IV testing, insulation withstand voltage testing, second EL testing, FQC visual inspection, grading, and final packaging, to ensure the high quality and reliability of photovoltaic modules.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 application.

[0046] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0047] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact, or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0049] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0050] Understandably, the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules requires the installation of junction boxes to transmit current from the modules. Typically, after installing the junction boxes, the installation status of the junction box covers needs to be checked.

[0051] Currently, there is a lack of automated inspection mechanisms for the installation status of junction box covers, relying mainly on manual inspection. This not only increases time and labor costs in the production process but also poses a potential risk of oversights due to the unavoidable nature of human error. If the cover is not properly closed and not detected in time, it can affect the quality of photovoltaic modules and even pose safety hazards.

[0052] For this reason, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a novel lid-closing device 100. The lid-closing device 100 is used in a processing device (not shown). Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a lid closing device 100 according to an embodiment of this application, viewed from one angle. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the lid-closing device 100 as shown from another angle. The processing equipment is capable of conveying the workpiece (not shown) and processing it.

[0053] The workpiece to be processed has a junction box (not shown), through which it is electrically connected to the outside world. The junction box generally includes a base (not shown) and a cover (not shown). The electrical components of the junction box are mounted on the base, and the cover is placed on the base to protect the electrical components inside the junction box. When processing the workpiece, the processing equipment needs to install the junction box on the workpiece and place the cover on the base.

[0054] In this embodiment, the workpiece to be processed is a photovoltaic module. During the manufacturing process, a junction box needs to be installed on the photovoltaic module. Typically, potting compound is injected into the junction box to ensure its airtightness. The cover-closing device 100 of this application can detect whether the cover of the photovoltaic module's junction box is accurately closed, and if not, close the cover onto the base of the junction box.

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the workpiece to be processed may also be other components that require the installation of junction boxes or the detection of whether the cover is installed correctly. This application only uses a photovoltaic module as an example of the workpiece to be processed, and when describing the specific structure of the cover-closing device 100 later, the workpiece to be processed will be used to replace the photovoltaic module.

[0056] The cover-closing device 100 of this application can detect whether the junction box of the workpiece to be processed is covered with a cover, and can close the cover onto the base of the junction box if it is not covered. During the process of the conveying device transporting the workpiece to be processed, the cover-closing device 100 can detect in real time whether the cover of the junction box is correctly closed. If the cover is correctly closed, the conveying device continues to transport the junction box; if the cover is not correctly closed, the cover-closing device 100 can attract the cover and close the cover onto the base of the junction box.

[0057] The cover-closing device 100 of this application can automatically detect the status of the cover in the junction box, eliminating the need for manual inspection, improving detection efficiency, reducing omissions caused by manual inspection, and lowering labor costs. Simultaneously, if the cover is found to be improperly closed, the cover-closing component 130 can promptly handle the situation, preventing abnormal workpieces from flowing into the next process, ensuring the quality of the workpieces, and reducing safety hazards caused by the lack of a properly closed cover.

[0058] To better illustrate the specific structure of the lid-closing device 100, the structure of the processing equipment is described first. The processing equipment includes a conveying device (not shown), a processing device (not shown), and the lid-closing device 100 of this application. The conveying device is a conveyor rail on an assembly line, connecting each processing step of the processing equipment. After being processed in the previous processing step, the workpiece is conveyed to the conveying device, which then transports it to the next processing step.

[0059] The processing device is located on one side of the conveying device. After the junction box is installed in the previous processing step, the workpiece is transferred to the conveying device, which then transports it to the processing device for the next processing step. The processing device performs steps such as cleaning on the workpiece. Optionally, the processing device is a structure or device that performs the next processing step on the workpiece, such as a glue-dispensing device or a cleaning device.

[0060] Generally, the lid must be correctly placed on the base to ensure its protective effect. If the lid is not correctly placed on the base, it will affect the performance of the workpiece. Therefore, this application provides a lid-closing device 100 at the conveying device. There is a certain distance between the lid-closing device 100 and the processing device, that is, the lid-closing device 100 is located in the intermediate process between the previous processing step and the next processing step.

[0061] Before the conveying device transports the workpiece to the processing device, the closing device 100 can detect whether the junction box cover is correctly closed. If the cover is correctly closed, the conveying device continues to transport the junction box; if the cover is not correctly closed, the closing device 100 closes the cover onto the base of the junction box. Subsequently, the conveying device transports the workpiece with the correctly closed cover to the processing device for further processing, ensuring the product quality of the workpiece.

[0062] The following describes the specific structure of a lid-closing device 100 according to an embodiment.

[0063] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the lid-closing device 100 includes a support assembly 110, a detection component 120, and a lid-closing assembly 130. The support assembly 110 surrounds a portion of the periphery of the conveying device of the processing equipment. The detection component 120 is disposed on the support assembly 110 and located above the conveying device, and is used to detect whether a lid is affixed to the junction box conveyed by the conveying device. The lid-closing assembly 130 is movably disposed on the support assembly 110 and electrically connected to the detection component 120, and is used to attract the lid and close it onto the base.

[0064] The support assembly 110 is a component that provides support for the lid closing device 100. The support assembly 110 is disposed on the side of the conveying device and extends above the conveying device. The support assembly 110 supports other components of the lid closing device 100. At the same time, there is a certain distance between the support assembly 110 and the conveying device to avoid interference between the support assembly 110 and the conveying device.

[0065] The detection component 120 is used by the closing device 100 to detect whether the junction box cover is correctly closed. The detection component 120 is located on top of the closing device 100 and faces the conveying device to accurately align with the junction box of the workpiece to be processed. The conveying device transports the workpiece to be processed to the area below the detection component 120, which then performs the detection on the junction box.

[0066] Understandably, there is a difference between a junction box being correctly covered and not. When the cover is correctly closed, the inside of the junction box is not exposed, indicating that the cover is properly closed. When the cover is not correctly closed, the inside of the junction box is exposed. The detection component 120 can detect whether the inside of the junction box is exposed, thereby determining whether the cover is correctly closed.

[0067] Generally, the inside of the junction box contains potting compound to ensure an effective seal. The potting compound is typically white, and the cover is black. If the detection component 120 detects black, it indicates that the junction box cover is correctly positioned, meaning it is properly closed. If the detection component 120 detects white, it indicates that the junction box cover is not correctly positioned, meaning it is not properly closed.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the suitcase cover can also be determined by whether the detection component 120 can detect the internal components of the junction box. For example, if the internal components are exposed, it indicates that the cover is not closed properly; if the internal components are not exposed, it indicates that the cover is closed properly. Alternatively, the suitcase cover can be determined by other internal structures of the junction box. This application only uses the detection component 120 to determine whether the cover is closed properly by color recognition.

[0069] The cover closing assembly 130 is a component for closing the junction box cover. The cover closing assembly 130 is movably mounted on the support assembly 110 and electrically connected to the detection component 120. After the detection component 120 determines that the cover is not properly closed, the detection component 120 sends a cover closing signal. Upon receiving the cover closing signal, the cover closing assembly 130 adsorbs the cover and closes it onto the base of the junction box, thereby realizing the automatic cover closing operation of the junction box.

[0070] The closing device 100 of this application detects the cover of the junction box: the conveyor continuously conveys the workpiece to be processed, and when the junction box moves to below the detection component 120, the detection component 120 can scan the junction box. If the detection component 120 detects that the junction box is black, it determines that the cover is closed, and the workpiece to be processed continues to move on the conveyor. If the detection component 120 detects that the junction box is white, it determines that the cover is not closed.

[0071] Once it is detected that the junction box cover is not properly closed, the detection component 120 triggers a closing signal, automatically sending a closing signal to the closing assembly 130 to control the closing assembly 130 to attract the cover and place it on the junction box, thus ensuring the junction box is properly closed and maintaining its performance. Furthermore, the conveying device can continue to transport junction boxes with their covers closed.

[0072] The cover-closing device 100 of this application detects whether the cover of the junction box is correctly closed (i.e., whether the cover is closed properly) through the detection component 120, realizing automatic detection of the cover status of the junction box without manual inspection, reducing the workload of operators, thereby reducing labor costs and improving detection efficiency. At the same time, it can also avoid missed detection and ensure the accuracy of the cover status detection in the junction box.

[0073] Furthermore, once the detection component 120 detects that the cover is not properly closed, it can control the cover closing assembly 130 to automatically attach the cover and place it on the base of the junction box, thus automatically closing the cover when it is detected that the cover is not properly closed in the junction box. In this way, the processing device can perform subsequent processing on the workpiece without product quality problems caused by the cover not being properly closed, ensuring the product quality of the workpiece.

[0074] The cover-closing device 100 of the above embodiment uses a detection component 120 to detect whether the cover on the junction box of the workpiece to be processed conveyed by the conveying device is correctly closed. If it is not correctly closed, the cover-closing assembly 130 closes the cover onto the base, thus achieving correct cover closure in the junction box. In this way, the detection component 120 can automatically detect the status of the cover in the junction box, eliminating the need for manual inspection, improving detection efficiency, reducing oversights caused by manual inspection, and lowering labor costs. Simultaneously, once an incorrectly closed cover is detected, the cover-closing assembly 130 can promptly handle it, preventing abnormal workpieces from flowing into the next processing step, ensuring the quality of the workpieces, and reducing safety hazards caused by an unclosed cover.

[0075] To better illustrate the structure of the lid-closing device 100, the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back are used in the description. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vertical, height, and top-to-bottom directions are the first directions; the horizontal and width directions are the second directions; and the front-to-back and thickness directions are the third directions. The conveying device extends through the closing device 100 along the third direction. The first, second, and third directions will not be elaborated further below.

[0076] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the support assembly 110 includes a support frame 111, with the detection component 120 and the lid-closing assembly 130 disposed on the support frame 111. The support frame 111 is the main structure of the support assembly 110, surrounding the periphery and top of the conveying device. The detection component 120 and the lid-closing assembly 130 are disposed on the support frame 111 and located above the conveying device. Optionally, the support frame 111 is made of metal.

[0077] Optionally, the support frame 111 includes two vertical portions 1111 and one horizontal portion 1112. The two vertical portions 1111 extend along a first direction and are located on the left and right sides of the conveying device, while the horizontal portion 1112 extends along a second direction and connects to the tops of the two vertical portions 1111. The detection component 120 and the cover assembly 130 are disposed on the horizontal portion 1112.

[0078] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the support frame 111 may also include a vertical part 1111 and a horizontal part 1112, with the vertical part 1111 and the horizontal part 1112 forming a single-arm support structure, and the detection component 120 and the cover assembly 130 disposed on the horizontal part 1112.

[0079] Optionally, the horizontal portion 1112 and the vertical portion 1111 are arranged in a plate shape. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the horizontal portion 1112 and the vertical portion 1111 are rods, frame structures, or other structural forms that can achieve support and installation.

[0080] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the detection component 120 and the lid-closing assembly 130 are respectively disposed on the corresponding support frame 111. That is, there are two support frames 111, which are spaced apart along a third direction. The detection component 120 is disposed on one of the support frames 111, and the lid-closing assembly 130 is disposed on the other support frame 111.

[0081] In other embodiments of this application, the detection component 120 and the lid closing assembly 130 are disposed on the same support frame 111. That is, the number of support frames 111 can also be one, and the detection component 120 and the lid closing assembly 130 can be disposed on the same support frame 111, as long as the lid closing assembly 130 does not obstruct the detection component 120.

[0082] In one embodiment, the lid-closing device 100 further includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the detection component 120 and the lid-closing assembly 130. The detection component 120 can feed back a lid-closing signal to the controller, and the controller controls the lid-closing assembly 130 to perform the lid-closing operation according to the lid-closing signal. Of course, the controller can also be integrated into the control device of the processing equipment.

[0083] When the detection component 120 scans the junction box of the workpiece to be processed conveyed by the conveying device, the detection component 120 can feed back the detection signal to the controller. When the detection component 120 feeds back a closed signal, the conveying device conveys the workpiece to be processed normally. When the detection component 120 feeds back a closed signal, it indicates that the junction box is not closed properly. In this case, the closing component 130 is controlled to attract the cover and place the cover on the base of the junction box to complete the closing operation.

[0084] In one embodiment, the detection component 120 is an infrared sensor. The infrared sensor emits infrared light, scans the junction box using this light, and determines whether the box cover is closed based on the detected color. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the detection component 120 may also be a scanner, a laser sensor, or other components capable of color detection and distance detection.

[0085] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, there are multiple detection components 120, which are spaced apart along the second direction on the support assembly 110. The multiple detection components 120 are also spaced apart along the second direction on the horizontal portion 1112 of the support frame 111. This way, when the workpiece is at different positions along the second direction of the conveying device, the detection components 120 can scan the junction box of the workpiece, avoiding missed detections.

[0086] In this embodiment, there are three detection components 120, which are spaced apart along the second direction on the support frame 111. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, there may be one, two, or even more detection components 120.

[0087] See Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the lid-closing assembly 130 includes a telescopic member 131, a rotating member 132, and an adsorption member 133. The telescopic member 131 extends along a first direction and outputs movement along the first direction. The telescopic member 131 is also movably disposed on the support assembly 110 along a second direction. The rotating member 132 is rotatably disposed on the telescopic member 131 and moves with the telescopic member 131 along the first direction. The adsorption member 133 is disposed on the rotating member 132 and rotates relative to the telescopic member 131 with the rotating member 132. The adsorption member 133 is used to adsorb the lid. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the lid closing device 100 at point A. Figure 4 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the lid closing assembly 130 in the lid closing device 100 shown.

[0088] The telescopic component 131 extends along a first direction and can extend and retract along the first direction. The top of the telescopic component 131 is disposed on the support frame 111 and can move along the second direction within the support frame 111. A rotating component 132 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic component 131. The rotating component 132 can move along the second direction with the telescopic component 131. At the same time, the telescopic component 131 can also drive the rotating component 132 to rise and fall along the first direction.

[0089] The rotating component 132 is capable of rotating in a horizontal plane, and an adsorption component 133 is installed at the end of the rotating component 132. The rotating component 132 can drive the adsorption component 133 to rotate around the telescopic component 131 to adjust the position of the adsorption component 133. The adsorption component 133 can adsorb the cover by negative pressure to realize the transfer of the cover, so as to place the cover onto the base of the junction box and ensure that the cover is properly closed.

[0090] When the detection component 120 detects that the lid is not properly closed, the lid closing assembly 130 performs a lid closing operation. The moving component can move relative to the support frame 111 in the second direction. At the same time, the telescopic component 131 drives the rotating component 132 and the adsorption component 133 to descend (moving downward in the first direction). The rotating component 132 drives the adsorption component 133 to rotate, so as to adjust the position of the adsorption component 133 and enable the adsorption component 133 to adsorb the lid.

[0091] After the lid is adsorbed, the telescopic component 131 drives the rotating component 132, the adsorption component 133, and the lid to rise (moving upwards along the first direction). The rotating component 132 drives the adsorption component 133 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the adsorption component 133. At the same time, the telescopic component 131 moves relative to the support frame 111 along the second direction. Subsequently, the telescopic component 131 drives the rotating component 132, the adsorption component 133, and the lid to fall. The rotating component 132 drives the adsorption component 133 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the adsorption component 133.

[0092] When the adsorption component 133 moves the cover to the top of the junction box, the telescopic component 131 drives the rotating component 132, the adsorption component 133 and the cover to descend, so as to place the cover on the base of the junction box. Then, the adsorption component 133 releases the adsorption on the cover, so that the cover is fixed to the base of the junction box, thus achieving the correct placement of the cover.

[0093] Moreover, after the adsorption component 133 installs the cover into the junction box, the negative pressure of the adsorption component 133 is not released immediately. The telescopic component 131 first moves the adsorption component 133 slightly upward to try to lift the cover. If the cover is not lifted, it indicates that the cover has been firmly fixed to the base of the junction box. Then, the negative pressure of the adsorption component 133 is released to release the cover.

[0094] Thus, by moving the telescopic component 131 along the second direction, the position of the adsorption component 133 in the second direction can be adjusted; by moving the telescopic component 131 along the first direction, the position of the adsorption component 133 in the height direction can be adjusted; and by rotating the component 132, the angle of the adsorption component 133 can be adjusted, so that the adsorption component 133 can accurately adsorb the box cover and accurately place the box cover onto the base of the junction box.

[0095] In one embodiment, the cover assembly 130 further includes a moving drive (not shown), which is disposed on the support assembly 110 and outputs movement along a second direction. The telescopic member 131 is disposed at the output end of the moving drive. The moving drive is the power source for the telescopic member 131 to move along the second direction, and the output end of the moving drive is connected to the telescopic member 131 to drive the telescopic member 131 to move along the second direction.

[0096] Optionally, the moving drive component is a rotary motor or the like, and is connected to the telescopic component 131 via a belt drive, gear mechanism, ball screw, or the like, to control the movement of the telescopic component 131 in the second direction. In this way, the moving drive component can drive the telescopic component 131 to move in the second direction.

[0097] Optionally, in the belt drive component, the pulley is rotatably mounted on the support frame 111 and connected to the moving drive component. The belt is mounted on the support frame 111 along the second direction and sleeved on the pulley. The top of the telescopic component 131 is connected to the belt. When the moving drive component moves, it can drive the belt to move through the pulley, and thus the belt can drive the telescopic component 131 to move along the second direction.

[0098] Optionally, in the gear configuration, the rack is fixedly mounted on the support frame 111, the gear meshes with the rack, and is movably mounted on the support frame 111 in the second direction. The moving drive is mounted on the gear. When the moving drive drives the gear to rotate, since the rack is fixed, the reaction force of the gear meshing with the rack can drive the gear to move along the rack. Consequently, when the gear moves relative to the rack, it can drive the telescopic member 131 to move in the second direction.

[0099] Optionally, in the ball screw assembly, the screw shaft is rotatably mounted on the support frame 111 along the second direction and connected to the output end of the moving drive component. The screw nut is movably mounted on the screw shaft and connected to the telescopic component 131. When the moving drive component drives the screw shaft to rotate, the rotation of the screw shaft can drive the screw nut to move along the second direction, thereby driving the telescopic component 131 to move along the second direction.

[0100] It is worth noting that the form in which the moving drive unit drives the telescopic component 131 to move along the second direction is not limited to the above. Other structural forms that can realize the telescopic component 131 moving along the second direction, such as linear motors, etc., will not be elaborated here.

[0101] See Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the cover assembly 130 further includes a sliding portion 134 and a mating portion 135. The sliding portion 134 is disposed on the support assembly 110 along the second direction, and the mating portion 135 is disposed on the top of the telescopic member 131 and slidably disposed on the sliding portion 134. The sliding engagement of the mating portion 135 and the sliding portion 134 can guide the movement of the telescopic member 131 along the second direction, ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the telescopic member 131 along the second direction.

[0102] A sliding portion 134 is disposed below the horizontal portion 1112 of the support frame 111 and extends along the second direction. A mating portion 135 is disposed on the top of the telescopic member 131, and the mating portion 135 is slidably disposed on the sliding portion 134. Thus, when the moving drive member drives the telescopic member 131 to move along the second direction, the telescopic member 131 can drive the mating portion 135 to slide along the sliding portion 134 to guide the movement of the telescopic member 131 along the second direction.

[0103] In this embodiment, the sliding part 134 is a groove, and the mating part 135 is a slider, which is slidably disposed in the groove. The sliding part 134 can limit the mating part 135, preventing the mating part 135 from slipping out of the sliding part 134 and ensuring that the mating part 135 is reliably disposed in the sliding part 134. At the same time, the mating part 135 can also move in the sliding part 134 to guide the movement of the telescopic member 131 in the second direction.

[0104] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the sliding part 134 is a slide rail, and the mating part 135 is a slider, which is slidably disposed on the slide rail. The mating part 135 is slidably engaged with the sliding part 134 to prevent the mating part 135 from disengaging from the sliding part 134, ensuring that the mating part 135 is reliably disposed on the sliding part 134. At the same time, the mating part 135 can also move along the sliding part 134 to guide the movement of the telescopic member 131 in the second direction.

[0105] In one embodiment, the telescopic component 131 includes a telescopic drive member (not shown) and a telescopic connector (not shown). The telescopic drive member is movably disposed on the support assembly 110 in a second direction and outputs movement in a first direction. The output end of the telescopic drive member is connected to the telescopic connector, and the telescopic connector is connected to the rotating component 132. The telescopic drive member can drive the telescopic connector to rise or fall in the first direction, thereby causing the telescopic connector to simultaneously rise or fall the rotating component 132 and the adsorption component 133.

[0106] Optionally, the telescopic drive component is a linear motor or a cylinder. Optionally, the telescopic connector is a rod or frame structure, etc. Optionally, the telescopic connector is made of metal or plastic. Optionally, the telescopic drive component is a rotary motor, etc., and is connected to the telescopic connector via ball screws, gears, belt drives, etc., to achieve lifting control of the telescopic connector.

[0107] Optionally, in the ball screw assembly, the screw shaft is positioned along the height direction on the support frame 111 and connected to the output end of the telescopic drive component. A screw nut is movably mounted on the screw shaft and connected to the telescopic connector. When the telescopic drive component drives the screw shaft to rotate, the rotation of the screw shaft causes the screw nut to move along the height direction, which in turn causes the telescopic connector to move along the height direction.

[0108] Optionally, in the gear configuration, the gear is rotatably mounted on the support frame 111 and located at the output end of the telescopic drive member, while the rack is movable along the height direction and mounted on the support frame 111, connected to the telescopic connector. The telescopic drive member drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to move along the height direction through meshing, thereby causing the rack to move along the height direction.

[0109] Optionally, in the belt drive component, two pulleys are spaced apart along the height direction and rotatably mounted on the support frame 111. A belt is fitted over the two pulleys and connected to a telescopic connector. One of the pulleys is connected to the telescopic drive component. When the telescopic drive component drives the pulleys to rotate, the pulleys can drive the belt to move along the height direction, and the belt can then drive the telescopic connector to move along the height direction.

[0110] It is worth noting that the structure of the telescopic drive component driving the telescopic connector to move up and down in the height direction is not limited to the above. Other structural forms that can realize the movement of the telescopic connector in the height direction will not be elaborated here.

[0111] In one embodiment, the rotating component 132 includes a rotating drive (not shown) and a rotating connector (not shown). The rotating drive is disposed on the telescopic component 131 and outputs a motion rotating about a first direction. The output end of the rotating drive is connected to the rotating connector, and the adsorption component 133 is disposed on the rotating connector.

[0112] The rotary drive is the power source for the rotating component 132. The rotary drive is disposed on the telescopic connector, and further, it is disposed at the bottom of the telescopic connector. The rotary drive outputs a rotational motion around the telescopic connector. The output end of the rotary drive is connected to the rotating connector, and the adsorption component 133 is installed at the end of the rotating connector away from the telescopic connector.

[0113] In this way, the rotary drive can drive the rotary connector to rotate around the telescopic connector, and then the rotary connector drives the adsorption component 133 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the adsorption component 133 in the horizontal plane, so that the adsorption component 133 can adsorb or release the lid, thereby realizing the transfer of the lid position.

[0114] Optionally, the rotating connector can be a rod or frame structure, etc. Optionally, the rotating connector can be made of metal or plastic. Optionally, the rotating drive can be a rotary motor, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected to the adsorption component 133 through the rotating connector. Of course, the output end of the rotating drive can also be connected to the rotating connector through a reducer.

[0115] In one embodiment, the adsorption component 133 includes an adsorption drive (not shown) and an adsorption element (not shown). The adsorption drive is disposed on the rotating component 132, and the adsorption element is mounted on its output end to drive the adsorption element to adsorb the box cover. The adsorption drive is the power source for the adsorption component 133 to perform the adsorption action. The adsorption drive is connected to the adsorption element to control the adsorption element to adsorb the box cover, and the adsorption element can release the adsorption from the box cover after the adsorption drive stops driving. Optionally, the adsorption drive is a negative pressure source, and the adsorption element is a suction cup.

[0116] It is worth noting that, in Figures 1 to 4 The diagram only shows the overall structure of the telescopic component 131, the rotating component 132, and the adsorption component 133. The internal details of the telescopic component 131, the rotating component 132, and the adsorption component 133 will not be shown.

[0117] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the lid closing device 100 further includes a storage component 140, which is disposed on the support component 110 and located below the lid closing component 130. The storage component 140 is used to store the lid, and the adsorption component 133 in the lid closing component 130 can adsorb the lid in the storage component 140 and close the lid on the base. Figure 5 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the lid closing device 100 at point B, as shown. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the storage component 140 in the lid-closing device 100 from one viewpoint. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the storage component 140 shown from another perspective.

[0118] The storage component 140 is fixedly mounted on the vertical portion 1111 of the support frame 111. The storage component 140 is located below the cover assembly 130 and can store the cover of the junction box. In this way, the telescopic component 131 and the rotating component 132 can move the adsorption component 133 to the storage component 140 and control the adsorption component 133 to adsorb the cover in the storage component 140. Then, the telescopic component 131 and the rotating component 132 can detach the adsorption component 133 from the storage component 140 and move it above the junction box to close the cover.

[0119] See Figures 5 to 7In one embodiment, the storage component 140 includes a storage box 141 and an adjusting component 142. The storage box 141 is disposed on the support component 110, and multiple lids are stacked and stored in the storage box 141. The storage box 141 has a first opening and a second opening extending through a first direction. The adsorption component 133 can adsorb and transfer the lids through the first opening. The adjusting component 142 is movably disposed on the support component 110 along the first direction, and the end of the adjusting component 142 extends into the storage box 141 through the second opening and abuts against the lid at the bottom of the storage box 141. When the adjusting component 142 rises along the first direction, it can push the lids up.

[0120] Storage box 141 is a structure for storing the lids of storage component 140. Storage box 141 has a first opening at the top and a second opening at the bottom, and the first opening and the second opening communicate with the inner cavity of storage box 141. Multiple lids are stacked in storage box 141. Telescopic component 131 and rotating component 132 can drive adsorption component 133 to move above storage box 141, so that adsorption component 133 extends into storage box 141 through the first opening to adsorb the lids in storage box 141.

[0121] Understandably, multiple lids are stacked and stored in storage box 141. When the number of lids in storage box 141 is small or there are no lids, the operator can add lids to storage box 141. Optionally, storage box 141 stores at least two lids.

[0122] The adjusting component 142 is movably disposed on the support frame 111 and can rise or fall in the first direction. The end of the adjusting component 142 can extend into the storage box 141 through the second opening and abut against the lid of the storage box 141. That is, the end of the adjusting component 142 is located at the bottom of the storage box 141, and the adjusting component 142 supports the lid of the storage box 141 to prevent the lid from falling off.

[0123] Furthermore, the adjusting component 142 can also lift the lid so that the adsorption component 133 can adsorb the lid. After the adsorption component 133 transfers a lid, the adjusting component 142 can move upward in the first direction. At the same time, the adjusting component 142 can push the lid in the storage box 141 upward so that the lid is at the first opening. In this way, the adsorption component 133 can adsorb the lid at the first opening without having to extend into the storage box 141.

[0124] In other words, every time the adsorption component 133 moves a lid, the adjusting component 142 causes the lid to rise once, ensuring that the lid is always in the same position so that the adsorption component 133 can adsorb the lid. When a lid is added to the storage box 141, the adjusting component 142 moves downward to the lowest position along the first direction. At this time, the storage box 141 contains the maximum number of lids.

[0125] In one embodiment, the adjusting component 142 includes an adjusting drive (not shown) and an adjusting connector (not shown). The adjusting drive is disposed on the support assembly 110 and outputs movement along a first direction. The adjusting connector is disposed at the output end of the adjusting drive. After the adsorption component 133 transfers a lid, the adjusting drive drives the adjusting connector to rise along the first direction, thereby enabling the adjusting connector to lift the lid in the storage box 141.

[0126] Optionally, the adjusting drive component is a linear motor or a cylinder. Optionally, the adjusting connector is made of metal or plastic. Optionally, the adjusting connector is a rod or frame structure, etc. Optionally, the adjusting drive component is a rotary motor, etc., and is connected to the adjusting connector via a ball screw, gear, belt drive, etc., to achieve lifting control of the adjusting connector. The structure and principle of the ball screw, gear, belt drive, etc. have been mentioned above and will not be repeated here.

[0127] See Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the storage assembly 140 further includes a support member 143, which is disposed at the end of the adjusting member 142 located in the storage box 141. The support member 143 is used to support the lid of the storage box 141. The support member 143 can hold the lid of the storage box 141 to provide stable support for the lid and prevent the lid from moving around in the storage box 141.

[0128] Optionally, the support member 143 is a support plate. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the support member 143 may also be a frame, multiple support columns, or other structural forms capable of stably supporting the lid within the storage box 141. Optionally, the support member 143 is made of metal or plastic. Optionally, the structural form of the support member 143 is not limited; it can be straight, bent, etc., as long as it can stably support the storage box 141.

[0129] See Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the storage component 140 further includes a first guide 144 and a second guide 145. The first guide 144 is disposed on the support component 110 along a first direction, and the second guide 145 is slidably disposed on the first guide 144 and connected to the adjustment component 142. The sliding engagement of the first guide 144 and the second guide 145 can guide the movement of the adjustment component 142 along the first direction, ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the adjustment component 142 along the first direction.

[0130] The first guide member 144 is disposed on the vertical portion 1111 of the support frame 111 along the first direction, the second guide member 145 is disposed on the adjusting connector of the adjusting member 142, and the second guide member 145 is slidably disposed on the first guide member 144.

[0131] Thus, when the adjusting drive drives the adjusting connector to move along the first direction, the adjusting connector can cause the second guide 145 to slide along the first guide 144, thereby guiding the movement of the adjusting component 142 along the first direction. Optionally, the first guide 144 and the second guide 145 are made of metal.

[0132] In this embodiment, the first guide member 144 is a groove, and the second guide member 145 is a slider, which is slidably disposed in the groove. The first guide member 144 can limit the second guide member 145, preventing the second guide member 145 from slipping out of the first guide member 144 and ensuring that the second guide member 145 is reliably disposed in the first guide member 144. At the same time, the second guide member 145 can also move within the first guide member 144 to guide the movement of the adjusting member 142 in the second direction.

[0133] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first guide member 144 is a slide rail, and the second guide member 145 is a slider, which is slidably disposed on the slide rail. The second guide member 145 is slidably engaged with the first guide member 144 to prevent the second guide member 145 from disengaging from the first guide member 144 and to ensure that the second guide member 145 is reliably disposed on the first guide member 144. At the same time, the second guide member 145 can also move along the first guide member 144 to guide the movement of the adjusting member 142 in the second direction.

[0134] See Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the storage component 140 further includes a mounting member 146, one end of which is connected to the storage box 141 and the other end is fixed to the support component 110. The mounting member 146 is a mounting plate or a mounting frame. One end of the mounting member 146 is fixed to the vertical portion 1111 of the support frame 111, and the other end is used to mount the storage box 141. The mounting member 146 can support the storage box 141.

[0135] Optionally, the storage box 141 is made of metal. Optionally, the mounting member 146 is secured to the support frame 111 by fasteners such as threaded fasteners. Optionally, a first guide member 144 is disposed on the mounting member 146.

[0136] In the assembly line operation, when the workpiece to be processed moves to the detection area of ​​the detection component 120, the junction box of the workpiece can automatically trigger the detection component 120, which can scan the junction box. The detection component 120 can determine the state of the junction box cover based on color recognition.

[0137] If the detection component 120 detects a black color, it determines that the junction box cover is correctly closed, indicating that the cover is properly closed. At this time, the detection component 120 sends a closed signal, such as an "OK" signal, to the controller, indicating that the junction box is in good condition and the workpiece to be processed is allowed to move with the conveyor device, which then transports the workpiece to the next processing step.

[0138] If the detection component 120 detects a white color, which is usually the color of potting compound, it indicates that the junction box cover is not properly closed. In this case, the detection component 120 sends an "NG" signal to the controller, indicating that there is a problem with the installation of the junction box.

[0139] Once the junction box is detected as not properly closed, the controller will automatically activate the closing assembly 130 based on the not-closed signal. The closing assembly 130 moves downward in the first direction via the telescopic component 131 until the adsorption component 133 contacts the lid in the storage box 141. At this time, the adsorption drive in the adsorption component 133 operates, causing the adsorption component 133 to tightly adsorb the lid through negative pressure.

[0140] Subsequently, the telescopic component 131 moves upward along the first direction, while the rotating component 132 drives the adsorption component 133 to rotate clockwise, such as by 180°. Then, the telescopic component 131 moves along the second direction on the support frame 111, carrying the adsorbed cover to the top of the unclosed junction box. Then, the telescopic component 131 moves downward again along the first direction, placing the cover on the base of the junction box.

[0141] At this time, the negative pressure on the adsorption component 133 is not released, and the telescopic component 131 moves the adsorption component 133 slightly upward to attempt to lift the cover. If the cover is not lifted, it indicates that the cover has been securely installed on the junction box. After confirmation, the negative pressure on the adsorption component 133 is released, allowing the adsorption component 133 to release the cover. After completing the closing operation and ensuring the cover is fixed, the telescopic component 131 rises in the first direction and returns to its initial position along the sliding part 134, while the rotating component 132 also rotates counterclockwise back to its initial position.

[0142] Subsequently, the detection unit 120 scans the junction box again, repeating the previous detection process. If the detection unit 120 detects black, it determines that the junction box cover is correctly closed, and the workpiece continues to move along the conveyor. If the detection unit 120 still detects white, it sends a signal such as "NG" to the controller, triggering an alarm to indicate that manual intervention is required to ensure the quality and efficiency of the production process.

[0143] The cover closing device 100 of this application can automatically identify whether the cover of the junction box has been properly closed, and when it is found that the cover is not properly closed, it will send a signal to the cover closing component 130 in a timely manner. After receiving the signal, the cover closing component 130 will quickly move to the position of the unclosed junction box and correctly close the cover.

[0144] The cover-closing device 100 can realize automated detection and cover-closing operation, realizing the automated detection and automatic cover-closing function of the cover status in the junction box, which significantly improves production efficiency and accuracy, and reduces labor costs and risks caused by human error.

[0145] Furthermore, the cover-closing device 100 can provide timely feedback and correction. Through the timely feedback from the detection component 120, problems such as the cover not being properly closed in the junction box can be quickly identified and corrected, preventing defective parts from flowing into subsequent processing steps and ensuring product quality.

[0146] Furthermore, the lid-closing device 100 has an intelligent verification mechanism after the lid-closing operation. After the lid-closing operation, the lid is slightly lifted by negative pressure to verify whether the lid is securely installed, increasing the reliability of the lid's operation and further ensuring product quality.

[0147] Meanwhile, the cover-closing device 100 can also perform efficient cyclic detection after the cover-closing operation. After the cover-closing operation is completed, the detection component 120 will re-inspect the junction box to ensure that the cover is in the correct state, thus forming an effective closed-loop detection mechanism.

[0148] The addition of this cover-closing device 100 to the processing equipment can significantly improve the automation level of the production line, reduce the risk of human oversight, and thus ensure that every piece of workpiece to be processed, such as photovoltaic modules, meets strict quality standards, further improving the manufacturing efficiency and product quality of photovoltaic modules.

[0149] This application also provides a processing apparatus, including a conveying device, a processing device, and a closing device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The processing device is located at the end of the conveying device, and the closing device 100 is disposed above the processing device and has a predetermined distance from it. The conveying device is used to convey a workpiece to be processed having a junction box, and the closing device 100 is used to detect whether the junction box cover is closed, and can close the cover onto the base of the junction box when it is not closed.

[0150] After adopting the cover-closing device 100 of the above embodiment, the processing equipment of this application can significantly improve the automation level of the production line, reduce the risk of human inspection omissions, and thus ensure that every piece of workpiece to be processed, such as photovoltaic modules, meets strict quality standards, further improving the manufacturing efficiency and product quality of photovoltaic modules.

[0151] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0152] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
