Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a composite labeling mechanism for simultaneously affixing nameplates and barcodes in a photovoltaic module production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photovoltaic equipment, a photovoltaic module production line consists of several machine tools customized according to the manufacturing process, arranged and controlled in a production flow, to complete the production process from raw materials and components to finished products in stages.

[0003] Among the numerous process steps, it is necessary to affix nameplates and barcodes with relevant information to the glass sheets of photovoltaic modules near the finished product. If these two parts are affixed separately, it inevitably increases the complexity and time consumption of the semi-finished glass sheet handling, and is prone to causing deviations in the positions of the two affixed items in batches of products, making identification difficult for automated product quality inspection. Therefore, completing the affixing of nameplates and barcodes (hereinafter referred to as barcodes) simultaneously at a single product clamping station, with better flatness, has become a key breakthrough in the technological upgrading of production line equipment in this industry. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a nameplate and barcode affixing mechanism for photovoltaic module production lines, which solves the problem of one-stop operation for nameplate and barcode affixing and improves efficiency and affixing quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a nameplate and barcode affixing mechanism for a photovoltaic module production line. It has a main frame mounted on a three-axis transfer device and shaped like a square tube column. One side of the main frame is equipped with a first auxiliary lifter and a first adapter frame driven by it. The bottom of the first adapter frame is equipped with a nameplate suction component and a roller pressing component. The nameplate suction component is driven to move back and forth between the nameplate printing station and the first affixing station, absorbing, transporting, and pressing the nameplate. The other side of the main frame is equipped with a second auxiliary lifter and a second adapter frame driven by it. The bottom of the second adapter frame is equipped with a barcode suction component. The barcode suction component is driven to move back and forth between the barcode printing station and the second affixing station, absorbing, transporting, and pressing the barcode. The roller pressing component is driven to rise and fall, flattening the nameplate and barcode.

[0006] Furthermore, the first adapter is mounted on the sliding component of the first auxiliary lifter, and a rotator is mounted in the platform plate of the first adapter. The nameplate suction assembly is mounted on the bottom output seat of the rotator and is radially adjustable in position.

[0007] Furthermore, the nameplate suction assembly is provided with a vertical buffer, a first substrate, and a material-taking plate with a pre-set suction hole for the shape of the nameplate. The first substrate has an internal air passage and is connected to an external air source to generate negative pressure in a controlled manner. One or more material-taking plates can be detached and replaced at the bottom of the first substrate and connected to the air passage.

[0008] Furthermore, the roller pressing assembly is connected to the rear end of the platform plate of the first transfer frame, and is provided with a linear roller pivotally connected to the bottom side and controlled to rise and fall. The axial length and travel of the linear roller cover the affixing range of the nameplate and barcode.

[0009] Furthermore, the second adapter is mounted on the sliding component of the second auxiliary lifter, and the barcode suction assembly is mounted on the bottom side of the second adapter and moves up and down accordingly. The barcode suction assembly has an internal air passage and is connected to an external air source to generate negative pressure under control.

[0010] Furthermore, the main frame is equipped with an inverted L-shaped secondary bracket on the front side between the two secondary lifters, and a barcode scanner is mounted on the secondary bracket in a suspended position.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The mechanism is based on the three-axis transfer device in industrial control equipment. The distance between the nameplate suction component and the barcode suction component is positioned by the main frame and the displacement is linked.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the nameplate affixing mechanism of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand and master, and thus to make a clearer definition of the protection scope of this utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0014] like Figure 1This utility model presents a design and proposes a nameplate and barcode affixing mechanism for photovoltaic module production lines. From an assembly perspective, it features a main frame 21, a square-tube column, mounted on a three-axis transfer device. This main frame serves as the foundation of the mechanism, playing a crucial role in power transmission. Firstly, existing industrial CNC systems commonly use three-axis transfer devices that combine horizontal and vertical axes. By mounting vertical sliding components, the main frame itself possesses lateral translation and vertical lifting capabilities. Furthermore, by incorporating positioning probes and other sensing components, high controllable positioning accuracy can be achieved. Secondly, to achieve paired affixing of nameplates and barcodes, the relevant suction components are integrated into the main frame, allowing for a streamlined and shortened affixing process for both types of objects, thus improving production efficiency. Specifically, one side of the main frame 21 is equipped with a first auxiliary lifter 31 and a first adapter 41 driven by it. The bottom of the first adapter 41 is equipped with a nameplate suction component 5 and a roller pressing component 7. The nameplate suction component 5 is driven to move back and forth between the nameplate printing station and the first affixing station to pick up, transport and press the nameplate. At the same time, the other side of the main frame 21 is equipped with a second auxiliary lifter 32 and a second adapter 42 driven by it. The bottom of the second adapter 42 is equipped with a barcode suction component 8. The barcode suction component 8 is driven to move back and forth between the barcode printing station and the second affixing station to pick up, transport and press the barcode. The roller pressing component 7 is driven to rise and fall. After the nameplate and barcode are positioned and pre-applied, it descends to flatten the nameplate and barcode and then rises to return to its original position.

[0015] Based on the aforementioned structural composition of the nameplate affixing mechanism, the entire assembly can be driven by a three-axis transfer device to move and adjust its position in the transverse plane above the glass sheet. It can also be raised and lowered to adjust its position in the direction of distance from the glass sheet. Typically, nameplate and barcode printing equipment are independent, and their assembly outlets are also some distance apart. Therefore, the installation distance between the nameplate and barcode affixing components and the main frame must meet the spatial interval of the picking end to achieve synchronous picking. After picking up the corresponding nameplate and barcode, the two components are transferred to the preset mounting position on the glass sheet by the transmission guidance of the main frame. Since the mounting positions are usually relatively close, in actual operation, the adjustable displacement is used to position and affix the nameplate and barcode sequentially, and then the roller pressing component is adjusted to cover and flatten both.

[0016] Looking at the features in more detail, the first adapter frame 41 is mounted on the sliding component of the first auxiliary lifter 31, and a turner 5 is installed in the platform plate of the first adapter frame 41. The nameplate suction assembly 5 is integrally mounted on the bottom output seat of the turner, thereby providing a radially adjustable technical option for the nameplate mounting direction. Furthermore, the nameplate suction assembly 5 includes a vertical buffer 51, a first substrate 52, and a material-grabbing plate 53 with pre-set suction holes for the nameplate shape. The first substrate has an internal air passage and an external air source that controls the generation of negative pressure to facilitate switching between suction and mounting of nameplates. Due to the diversity of nameplate shapes and lengths, the shape of the material-grabbing plate and the distribution of suction holes are also adaptively adjusted. Therefore, the nameplate suction assembly is equipped with one or more removable and replaceable material-grabbing plates at the bottom of the first substrate and connected to the air passage. The vertical buffer is mainly used to prevent excessive pressure from causing a plate explosion during the mounting of nameplates onto glass sheets.

[0017] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, the roller pressing assembly 7 is connected to the rear end of the platform plate of the first adapter frame 41, and is equipped with a linear roller pivotally connected to the bottom side and controlled to rise and fall. The axial length and travel of the linear roller cover the application area of ​​the nameplate and barcode. When the nameplate is applied, the linear roller rises and resets, without interfering with the application operation. Only after the nameplate and barcode have been pre-applied and moved into place is the roller controlled to descend and align with the outer edge of the glass sheet, and is driven to move horizontally over the surface of the glass sheet and the surface of the applied nameplate and barcode.

[0018] In the other direction, the second adapter 42 is mounted on the sliding component of the second auxiliary lifter 32, and the barcode suction assembly 8 is mounted on the bottom side of the second adapter and moves up and down accordingly. The barcode suction assembly has an internal air passage and is connected to an external air source to generate negative pressure under control. In the illustrated embodiment, no swivel is installed on the second adapter, and the corresponding barcode does not require rotation. If needed, a swivel can be installed with reference to the first adapter. Similarly, the barcode suction assembly also has a vertical buffer, providing comprehensive explosion-proof support for installation.

[0019] Furthermore, to facilitate the inspection of anti-leakage stickers or other quality control operations after the nameplates and barcodes are affixed, an inverted L-shaped secondary bracket 22 is installed on the front side between the two secondary lifters of the main frame. A barcode scanner 9, suspended in mid-air, is mounted on the secondary bracket. The scanner's scanning window faces downwards, and the scanner body is adjustable in two or more directions. This is achieved through adjustable screws (as shown in the figure), laterally adjustable booms, and radially adjustable carrier plates. Adjustment is primarily done manually by the operator.

[0020] Taking a complete cycle of operation of this institution as an example, after the glass sheet is fed and positioned (routine operations omitted in detail), the main frame is driven to move towards the two printing devices, which then programmatically print out nameplates and barcodes. The nameplate suction component uses negative pressure to pick up the nameplate, while the barcode suction component uses negative pressure to pick up the barcode. Then, the main frame is driven to move towards the nameplate mounting position, and the lifting part 11 of the three-axis transfer device and the first auxiliary lifter 31 operate synchronously, driving the nameplate suction component downward and contacting the glass sheet (with buffer), completing the nameplate pre-application with the negative pressure turned off and the downward slight pressure applied. The main frame is then raised and moved horizontally to align the barcode suction component with the barcode mounting position, and the lifting part 11 of the three-axis transfer device and the second auxiliary lifter 32 operate synchronously, driving the barcode suction component downward and contacting the glass sheet (with buffer), completing the barcode pre-application in the same way. The main frame is raised and moved horizontally again to align the linear roller with the two pre-applied materials. Then, the lifting part of the three-axis transfer device and the built-in lifting device of the roller pressing assembly work together to drive the linear roller to contact the glass sheet in an externally tangential manner. The three-axis transfer device then drives the main frame to move horizontally as a whole, allowing the linear roller to complete the full-width rolling of the application area. After the application is completed, the entire mechanism is reset.

[0021] In summary, the above introduction and detailed description of the nameplate affixing mechanism of this utility model demonstrate that this solution possesses substantial features and advancements: it is based on a three-axis transfer device in industrial control equipment, and uses the main frame to position the distance between the nameplate affixing component and the barcode affixing component and to move them in linkage. The two components are controlled to operate independently and perform predefined material picking and affixing operations, which improves the consistency of the affixing position of the nameplate and barcode on the glass sheet and the efficiency of the operation, and also includes rolling and visual inspection functions.

[0022] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may have other implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
