Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic handling technology, and more specifically to a flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules consist of two layers of composite materials and a crystalline silicon solar cell encapsulated in a film in between. The flexible PV module itself can be bent up to 30°. However, because the crystalline silicon solar cell in the middle is relatively fragile, it is easily damaged by irregular vibrations or violent bending. The backsheet of the flexible PV module has strong waterproof and UV protection capabilities and must not be damaged during use. The structure of the flexible PV module makes its handling relatively complex. The corners are the most vulnerable parts of the flexible PV module, and special care must be taken to protect the corners during handling to avoid collisions and friction.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper that is resistant to microcracks and scratches, has stronger grip, and is more convenient for handling photovoltaic modules is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper that is resistant to microcracks and scratches, has stronger grip, and makes it more convenient to use and handle photovoltaic modules.

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

[0006] A flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper includes:

[0007] The pallet has two plates connected by a flexible connector. The flexible connector and the two plates are curved. The two plates can be opened and closed freely through the flexible connector. Each plate is provided with a friction sleeve.

[0008] The surfaces of the two trays that are far apart from each other are each provided with a friction layer, and the surfaces of the two trays that are close to each other are each provided with a smooth layer.

[0009] Furthermore, two friction sleeves are spaced apart on each of the trays, with the two friction sleeves located near the edge of the tray. Each friction sleeve is detachably mounted on the tray by screws.

[0010] Furthermore, the flexible connector has notches on both sides and a through hole in the middle.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper, the beneficial effects of which are:

[0012] 1. By having the smooth surface of the pallet contact the flexible photovoltaic module, it can prevent the module from being cracked or scratched due to uneven gripping force when workers handle the flexible photovoltaic module, thus preventing cracks and scratches.

[0013] 2. By setting up a friction layer and friction sleeve, the friction is stronger, the grip is stronger, and it is more suitable for use by various types of people;

[0014] 3. It is made of high-strength, high-friction materials and has a long service life. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a flexible photovoltaic module handling gripper, comprising:

[0022] The system includes two trays 1 connected by a flexible connector 2. The flexible connector 2 and the two trays 1 are curved, allowing the two trays 1 to open and close freely. Each tray 1 is equipped with a friction sleeve 3, which is located on the friction layer 4. The ability to open and close the two trays 1 freely facilitates the handling of flexible photovoltaic modules, preventing uneven gripping during transport and thus avoiding microcracks and scratches on the modules. The friction sleeve 3 increases the friction of the smooth layer 5, further enhancing the ease of handling the flexible photovoltaic modules.

[0024] The sides of the two trays 1 that are close to each other are both provided with a smooth layer 5 to avoid damage to the flexible photovoltaic module.

[0025] In this embodiment, two friction sleeves 3 are spaced apart on each tray 1. The two friction sleeves 3 are located near the edge of the tray 1. Each friction sleeve 3 is detachably mounted on the tray 1 by screws 6 to increase the friction of the smooth layer 5, making it easier to handle flexible photovoltaic modules. The friction sleeves 3 are detachable, which makes it convenient to install friction sleeves 3 of different sizes on the tray 1, making it more practical.

[0026] In this embodiment, notches are provided on both sides of the flexible connector 2, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the flexible connector 2; by providing notches and through holes on the flexible connector 2, it is convenient to observe the flexible photovoltaic module during handling.

[0027] In addition, in this embodiment, the flexible connector 2 is made of a flexible material.

[0028] Specific usage instructions:

[0029] Hold the friction sleeve 3 on the friction layer 4 of the tray 1 with your hand, with one tray 1 below. Place the flexible photovoltaic module on the smooth layer 5 of the tray 1, and place the other tray 1 on the flexible photovoltaic module, so that the smooth surfaces of the two trays 1 are in contact with the flexible photovoltaic module. Move the flexible photovoltaic module appropriately according to the width of the flexible connector 2, observe the condition of the flexible photovoltaic module through the notch and through hole, and complete the handling.
