Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Photovoltaic panels are thin photovoltaic semiconductor wafers that directly generate electricity using solar energy, and are the core components of photovoltaic power generation. As a green, clean, and renewable energy power generation method, photovoltaic power plants have broad development prospects, and their construction is currently in a period of rapid growth. Traditional photovoltaic power plant construction relies heavily on manual labor, from the initial piling and installation of metal supports to the later laying of panels and wiring, all requiring extensive manual work, resulting in low efficiency and long construction cycles.

[0003] Therefore, mobile photovoltaic (PV) panel laying robots have become a new trend in PV power plant construction. Currently available PV panel laying robots, such as the mobile intelligent PV panel laying robot provided by Chinese utility model patent CN221936737U, include a mobile chassis and a multi-axis robotic arm mounted on the mobile base, a power system, and a PV module loading device. The PV module loading device is located on the power system, and there is only one set of PV loading positions. The multi-axis robotic arm needs to remove all the PV panels from the loading position before a forklift can transport and place them back on the loading position for the second round of loading. During this process, due to the mechanical scheduling of the forklift, the robotic arm of the PV panel laying robot needs to be idle, affecting the continuity of the PV panel laying robot's operation, thus resulting in low efficiency in the automatic PV panel laying operation.

[0039] The description of the embodiments herein, including any references to direction and orientation, is for ease of description only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The following description of preferred embodiments involves combinations of features, which may exist independently or in combination; this utility model is not particularly limited to the preferred embodiments. The scope of this utility model is defined by the claims.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the photovoltaic panel laying robot provided by this utility model includes a base 1 and a power mechanism 5, as well as a robotic arm 2, a feeding bracket 3 and a walking mechanism 4.

[0041] The robotic arm 2 is located in the middle of the base 1 and rotates on the base 1. A board-picking device 6 is located at the end of the robotic arm 2. A feeding bracket 3 is mounted on the base 1 and is located on both sides of the robotic arm 2. A traveling mechanism 4 is located on the bottom surface of the base 1.

[0042] This invention uses loading brackets set on both sides of the robotic arm to form two loading positions on the base, which facilitates the alternating operation of loading mechanisms such as forklifts and the robotic arm on the two loading positions, thereby ensuring the continuity of the robotic arm's board-laying operation and improving the efficiency of the board-laying operation.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, the feeding bracket 3 includes a first tray 31 and a second tray 32 that are perpendicular to each other. The second tray 32 is connected to the end of the first tray 31 near the base 1, and the side of the second tray 32 away from the first tray is connected to the base 1. When the feeding bracket 3 is flipped to feed materials, the first tray 31 is arranged parallel to the horizontal direction of the base 1, and the second tray 32 is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal direction of the base 1. The first tray 31 and the second tray 32 form an L-shaped structure, forming three feeding directions on both sides of the base 1, which facilitates scheduling by feeding mechanisms such as forklifts and further improves the continuity of the robotic arm's tray-laying operation.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the loading bracket 3 is pivotally mounted to the base 1 via a flipping mechanism 7. The flipping mechanism 7 includes a hinge shaft 33, a hinge shaft mounting groove 11, and a telescopic rod 71. The hinge shaft 33 is disposed on the side of the second support plate 32 near the base 1. The hinge shaft mounting groove 11 is disposed on the end face of the base 1 and is adapted to the hinge shaft 33; both ends of the telescopic rod 71 are hinged to the second support plate 32 and the base 1, respectively. The loading bracket 3 can be flipped via the flipping mechanism 7, thereby adjusting the posture of the photovoltaic panels on the loading bracket 3.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the length of the hinge shaft 33 is not less than half the width of the second tray 32. The hinge shaft 33 can provide support for the second tray 32, thereby improving the stability of the loading bracket 3 when it is flipped and avoiding collisions or damage to the photovoltaic panels during the flipping process.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the walking mechanism 4 includes a walking frame and a tracked walking mechanism 43. The walking frame is mounted on the bottom surface of the base 1 and includes parallel track support frames 41 and crossbeams 42 disposed between the track support frames 41. The tracked walking mechanism 43 is disposed on the track support frames 41. The tracked walking mechanism 43 can improve the stability of the photovoltaic panel laying robot during the walking process.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the crossbeam 42 and the track support frame 41 form a groove 12, and the second end of the telescopic rod 71 is hinged to the crossbeam 42 and disposed within the groove 12. A robotic arm mounting frame 13 is provided on the base 1, and the robotic arm mounting frame 13 and the power mechanism 5 are disposed in the middle of the base 1. The robotic arm mounting frame 13 and the power mechanism 5 are arranged side by side, and the robotic arm 2 is rotatably mounted on the robotic arm mounting frame 13. This effectively reduces the size of the photovoltaic panel laying robot and improves the versatility of its application scenarios.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the photovoltaic panel picking device 6 includes a suction cup bracket 61 connected to the end of the robotic arm 2 and a plurality of suction cups 62 disposed on the end face of the suction cup bracket 61. A shock-absorbing unit 63 is disposed between the suction cups 62 and the suction cup bracket 61. The shock-absorbing unit 63 can be a corrugated pipe connected to the suction cups 62. The shock-absorbing unit 63 can further improve the stability of photovoltaic panel picking and avoid damage to the photovoltaic panels from vibration.

[0049] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] The power mechanism 5 controls the walking mechanism 4 to drive the photovoltaic panel laying robot to the panel laying position. The telescopic rod 71 is used to flip the loading pallet 3 so that the first pallet 31 is horizontal and the second pallet 32 ​​is vertical. Then, the photovoltaic panel 8 and the pallet 9 are placed on the first pallet 31 together using a forklift or other loading mechanism. The telescopic rod 71 is used to flip the loading pallet 3 again so that the second pallet 32 ​​is horizontal and the first pallet 31 is vertical. The photovoltaic panel 8 and the pallet 9 are flipped together with the loading pallet 3 so that the photovoltaic panel 8 is horizontal and the pallet 9 is vertical. Then, the panel laying and picking device 6 connected to the negative pressure device on the robotic arm 2 can pick up the photovoltaic panel 8 and install the photovoltaic panel 8 into the preset position by the robotic arm 3.

[0051] Once the photovoltaic panel 8 is installed on the loading pallet 3 on one side of the robotic arm 2, the robotic arm 2 can install the photovoltaic panel 8 on the loading pallet 3 on the other side. The loading mechanism, such as a forklift, can be used to load the empty loading position, so that the robotic arm 2 does not need to stop and remain idle, thus achieving continuous loading.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description represents the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be pointed out that although the preferred embodiment of this utility model has been described, those skilled in the art, once they understand the basic inventive concept of this utility model, can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles described herein.
