[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 A positioning device for a photovoltaic cell string layout machine includes a device body 1, a positioning structure on the top of the device body 1, and limiting structures with the same structure on the left and right sides of the device body 1.

[0024] The positioning structure includes a fixing plate 2 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the device body 1, an electric push rod 201 installed on the upper surface of the two fixing plates 2, a positioning plate 202 set above the device body 1 and fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 201, and multiple positioning blocks 203 embedded and installed on the front end surface of the positioning plate 202.

[0025] The limiting structure includes limiting plates 305 disposed on the left and right sides of the device body 1, rubber pads 306 installed inside the limiting plates 305, and a driving structure disposed at the bottom of the device body 1 for driving the limiting plates 305.

[0026] In this embodiment: First, the glass panel is placed on the upper surface of the device body 1. Then, the electric push rod 201 is activated, so that the two electric push rods 201 push the positioning plate 202 down synchronously, so that the bottom end of the positioning block 203 abuts against the glass panel. Then, the first photovoltaic cell string is placed on the glass panel through the external structure, and one side of the first photovoltaic cell string abuts against the positioning block 203, thereby positioning the first photovoltaic cell string and ensuring that the subsequent photovoltaic cell strings can be positioned and arranged.

[0027] Next, the second photovoltaic cell string is placed on the glass panel in front of the first photovoltaic cell string. At the same time, the two limiting plates 305 on the left and right sides are driven by the rear drive structure to move closer to each other until the two limiting plates 305 clamp and position the second photovoltaic cell string. The photovoltaic cell string can be protected by the rubber pad 306. In this way, the positioning structure and the limiting structure can be used to position the photovoltaic cell string, thereby improving the arrangement accuracy of the photovoltaic cell string.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive structure includes two sets of ear plates 3 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the device body 1, a bidirectional screw 301 rotatably connected between the two ear plates 3 in the same set, a motor 302 installed on the outer wall of one of the ear plates 3 and whose output end is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 301, and a movable plate 304 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 301 and fixedly connected to the limiting plate 305.

[0029] In this embodiment: by starting the motor 302, the motor 302 drives the bidirectional screw 301 to rotate, causing the two moving plates 304 to move closer to each other until the two limiting plates 305 clamp and position the photovoltaic cell string placed on the upper surface of the device body 1.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two partition plates 4 are provided on the upper end surface of the device body 1, and soft pads are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the partition plates 4.

[0031] In this embodiment: the separator plate 4 is placed between two adjacent photovoltaic cell strings to separate and position the photovoltaic cell strings, and the soft pad can protect the side of the photovoltaic cell string that is in contact with the separator plate 4.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a protective pad 204 is installed at the other end of the positioning block 203.

[0033] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic cell string can be protected by the protective pad 204.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving structure also includes a slide rod 303 fixedly connected between another set of ear plates 3, and the moving plate 304 is slidably connected to the slide rod 303.

[0035] In this embodiment, the movable plate 304 can be moved stably by the slide bar 303.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided at the front of the lower end face of the device body 1, and the electric push rod 201 and the motor 302 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0037] In this embodiment, the electric actuator 201 and the motor 302 can be controlled to work normally by the controller.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, place the glass panel on the upper surface of the device body 1. Then, start the electric push rod 201, so that the two electric push rods 201 push the positioning plate 202 down synchronously, so that the bottom end of the positioning block 203 abuts against the glass panel. Then, place the first photovoltaic cell string on the glass panel through the external structure, and make one side of the first photovoltaic cell string abut against the positioning block 203, so as to position the first photovoltaic cell string, thereby ensuring that the subsequent photovoltaic cell strings can be positioned and arranged.

[0039] Next, the separator plate 4 is placed in front of the first photovoltaic cell string, so that the soft pad on the rear end of the separator plate 4 abuts against the first photovoltaic cell string. Then, the second photovoltaic cell string is placed on the glass panel, in front of the first photovoltaic cell string. The separator plate 4 separates and positions the two adjacent photovoltaic cell strings. At the same time, the rear motor 302 is started, which drives the bidirectional screw 301 to rotate, causing the two moving plates 304 to move closer to each other. This drives the two limiting plates 305 on the left and right sides to move closer to each other until the two limiting plates 305 clamp and position the second photovoltaic cell string. The rubber pad 306 protects the photovoltaic cell string. This process is repeated to complete the positioning and arrangement of the photovoltaic cell strings. In this way, the positioning structure and the limiting structure work together to position the photovoltaic cell strings and improve the accuracy of the photovoltaic cell string arrangement.
