Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module, especially point to a kind of automatic feeding device of photovoltaic module frame. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the photovoltaic field, the length of the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic module is relatively long, and the weight is relatively heavy. When manually transporting and feeding, on the one hand, the labor intensity is high, and the feeding efficiency is low. On the other hand, the aluminum frame is easy to fall and injure the personnel, which is relatively dangerous.

[0003] The existing way to improve the problem of manual transportation and feeding is to set a storage mechanism in the rack, use a robot as a transfer mechanism, and stack multiple aluminum frames in the storage mechanism by moving the suction cups. The robot transfers the storage mechanism to achieve simultaneous transfer of multiple stacks. However, this method can only transfer multiple aluminum frames simultaneously, but the above-mentioned moving method cannot transfer both long and short frames simultaneously, which affects the installation efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-6The automatic feeding device for photovoltaic module frames provided by this utility model includes a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, a support platform 3, a unloading mechanism 4, and a conveying mechanism 5. The conveying mechanism 5 is disposed on the upper surface of the support platform 3 along the conveying direction. In this embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 are disposed at the first end of the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction, and the unloading mechanism 4 is disposed at the second end of the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction. After the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 move the long frame and the short frame to the conveying mechanism 5, the conveying mechanism 5 drives the frame to move from the first end to the second end along the conveying direction to the unloading mechanism 4, and the unloading mechanism 4 unloads the long frame and the short frame.

[0035] It should be noted that the first feeding mechanism 1 is a long frame feeding mechanism, and the second feeding mechanism 2 is a short frame feeding mechanism. The first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 are arranged on both sides of the support platform 3 along the conveying direction, and are used to grab and move the long frame and the short frame onto the conveying mechanism 5, respectively. Both the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 include a feeding bracket 110, a first gripping component 120, and a telescopic component 160. The first feeding bracket 110 extends vertically perpendicular to the conveying direction. The first gripping component 120 is connected to the feeding bracket 110 through the telescopic component 160. The telescopic component 160 moves vertically on the feeding bracket 110 perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the telescopic component 160 drives the first gripping component 120 to move horizontally perpendicular to the conveying direction. In this embodiment, the first gripping component 120 is a suction component, composed of multiple suction cups, which suck up the surface of the aluminum frame to grip the edge. The frame and telescopic component 160 are telescopic devices such as telescopic cylinders. The first gripping component 120 moves horizontally on the telescopic component 160 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction and can move above the conveying mechanism 5. During the feeding process, the height of the telescopic component 160 and the first gripping component 120 in the vertical direction is adjusted. The first gripping component 120 grips the frame. After the frame is gripped, it moves upward in the vertical direction on the feeding bracket 110. After moving to a certain height, the telescopic component 160 drives the first gripping component 120 to move horizontally along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction to above the conveying mechanism 5, moving the frame to the conveying mechanism 5, realizing the automatic feeding process with high working efficiency. Furthermore, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 can be set on the same side of the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction or set on both sides respectively, so as to transfer the long frame and the short frame to the conveying mechanism 5 at the same time, realizing the simultaneous feeding of the long frame and the short frame.

[0036] It should be noted that the unloading mechanism 4 includes an unloading bracket 410, a second gripping assembly 420, and an unloading track 440. The unloading bracket 410 extends vertically along the conveying direction and is horizontally arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction. The second gripping assembly 420 moves horizontally on the unloading bracket 410 along the conveying direction. The unloading track 440 is vertically arranged on both sides of the unloading bracket 410 along the conveying direction. The second gripping assembly 420 is a gripper assembly composed of multiple grippers. It grips the long and short frames on the conveying mechanism 5 to unload the long and short frames. The long and short frames are then transported on the conveying mechanism 5 to the unloading mechanism 4. When the material is below, since the feeding bracket 410 is horizontally arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction, and the second gripping component 420 moves horizontally on the feeding bracket 410 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the second gripping component 420 can move to any position of the conveying mechanism 5 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction to achieve the gripping of the long frame and the short frame. After the second gripping component 420 grips, it moves the long frame and the short frame to the feeding track 440 located on both sides of the feeding bracket 410 along the conveying direction. This device can simultaneously complete the automatic feeding, conveying and unloading process of long frames and short frames, can convey different types of frames at the same time, has high working efficiency, and is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0037] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding support 110 includes a column 111 and a horizontal support 112. The column 111 extends vertically perpendicular to the conveying direction, and one end of the column 111 is higher in the vertical direction than the conveying mechanism 5, ensuring that the first gripping component 120 can move above the conveying mechanism 5. The horizontal support 112 is vertically arranged with the column 111, and one end of the horizontal support 112 moves vertically on the column 111. In this embodiment, the horizontal support 112 can adjust the height of the horizontal support 112 and the first gripping component 120 by moving vertically on the column 111. The horizontal support 112 extends horizontally perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the telescopic component 160 is installed in the water... On the horizontal support 112, and set at the other end of the horizontal support 112, as a preferred embodiment, the first gripping component 120 moves vertically on the horizontal support 112 along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, which can adjust the vertical position of the first gripping component 120 perpendicular to the conveying direction and move the first gripping component 120 toward the conveying mechanism 5. Furthermore, a telescopic component 160 is set on the horizontal support 112 to extend the first gripping component 120 onto the conveying mechanism 5. By setting the column 111 and the telescopic component 160, the loading support 110 can adjust the height of the frame and its position relative to the conveying mechanism 5 perpendicular to the conveying direction in real time during the loading process, thereby realizing the loading process of the frame.

[0038] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 further include a movable support 113 or a movable support 113 and a positioning component 130. In an embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 include a movable support 113, which is arranged along the conveying direction. A column 111 is slidably connected to the movable support 113 and is vertically arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction. The column 111 moves along the conveying direction on the movable support 113, thus allowing adjustment of the position of the frame in the conveying direction. In an embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 include a movable support 113 and a positioning component 130, wherein the positioning component 130 includes a plurality of positioning elements 131. 1. The components are spaced apart on the movable support 113 along the conveying direction, and at least one positioning component 131 is slidably connected to the movable support 113. In the embodiment, the frame is set between two positioning components 131, and the two positioning components 131 abut against the two ends of the frame along the conveying direction to achieve the positioning effect. Furthermore, there can be more than two positioning components 131, and multiple frame edges are arranged along the conveying direction, which can increase the number of positioning frame edges of the positioning component 131. At least one positioning component 131 is slidably connected to the movable support 113. In the embodiment, whether there is only one positioning component 131 or multiple positioning components 131 slidably connected to the movable support 113, the distance between the positioning components 131 can be adjusted to accommodate frame edges of different lengths.

[0039] It should be noted that the upright column 111 is slidably connected to the movable support 113. Preferably, the movable support 113 is provided with a slide rail along the conveying direction, and the upright column 111 moves on the slide rail, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the first gripping component 120 in the conveying direction according to the position of the frame and the position of the conveying mechanism 5. The horizontal support 112 moves vertically on the upright column 111. Preferably, the upright column 111 is provided with a first guide rail and a lifting motor. The lifting motor is connected to the horizontal support 112, driving the horizontal support 112 to move vertically on the first guide rail of the upright column 111. The frame height can be adjusted by moving the frame. As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal support 112 is provided with a second guide rail and a drive motor on the side wall near the conveying mechanism 5. The first gripping component 120 is set on the second guide rail and is electrically connected to the drive motor. The drive motor drives the first gripping component 120 to move horizontally along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the frame perpendicular to the conveying direction. Combined with the adjustment of the vertical position of the horizontal support 112, the frame is placed on the conveying mechanism 5. Using the above conveying method, the transmission process is simple, easy to implement, and the structure is simple.

[0040] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3Both the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 further include a first detection unit 140 and a paper picking unit 150. The first detection unit 140 and the paper picking unit 150 are both mounted on the horizontal support 112. The first detection unit 140 and the paper picking unit 150 are electrically connected. The first detection unit 140 is used to detect whether the frame has protective paper, and the paper picking unit 150 is used to remove the protective paper. In the embodiment, the first detection unit 140 can be a visual detection device, which uses an image processing system to determine whether the surface of the frame has protective paper. The first detection unit 140 and the paper picking unit 150 are electrically connected. When the first detection unit 140 detects that there is protective paper, the paper picking unit 150 starts to work. The paper picking unit 150 can be a clamping device, a suction device, etc., used to remove the protective paper. Multiple paper picking units 150 can be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the horizontal support 112 to expand the paper picking range.

[0041] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 5 includes a first conveyor belt 510 and a second conveyor belt 520. The first conveyor belt 510 and the second conveyor belt 520 are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the conveying direction. The first conveyor belt 510 is located below the first feeding mechanism 1, and the second conveyor belt 520 is located below the second feeding mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 are respectively located on both sides of the support platform 3 along the conveying direction. The telescopic component 160 in the first feeding mechanism 1 drives the first gripping component 120 to move above the first conveyor belt 510, and the second feeding mechanism 520... The telescopic component 160 drives the first gripping component 120 to move above the second conveyor belt 520, enabling simultaneous and independent conveying of the long and short frames. Since the unloading bracket 410 extends to both ends of the conveying mechanism 5 perpendicular to the conveying direction, the unloading bracket 410 is positioned above the first conveyor belt 510 and the second conveyor belt 520 perpendicular to the conveying direction. The second gripping component 420 can slide along the unloading bracket 410, enabling it to grip both the long frame on the first conveyor belt 510 and the short frame on the second conveyor belt 520, thus achieving unloading of both the long and short frames.

[0042] In one embodiment, one or more feeding brackets 410 are provided along the conveying direction, and multiple feeding brackets 410 are spaced apart above the conveying mechanism 5 along the conveying direction. In this embodiment, when there is one feeding bracket 410, the second gripping component 420 grips the long frame and the short frame respectively for feeding; when there are two feeding brackets 410, the second gripping component 420 in the two feeding brackets 410 can grip the long frame and the short frame simultaneously, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 5The unloading mechanism 4 also includes a lifting structure 450 and a second detection unit 460. The unloading track 440 includes a first unloading track 441, a second unloading track 442, and a third unloading track 443. The lifting structure 450 moves horizontally on the unloading bracket 410 along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The second gripping component 420 is fixed on the lifting structure 450. The lifting structure 450 drives the second gripping component 420 to move vertically along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The second detection unit 460 is located on the unloading bracket 410 on the side close to the first loading mechanism 1 along the conveying direction. The second detection unit 460 is electrically connected to the lifting structure 450. The second detection unit 460 is used to detect whether the frame meets the preset standard. If it does not meet the preset standard, the lifting structure 450 is used to convey the frame to the first unloading track 441. If it meets the preset standard... Upon reaching a preset standard, the lifting structure 450 is used to transport the frame to the second unloading track 442 or the third unloading track 443. The first unloading track 441 is the NG (non-compliant) defective material track. In this embodiment, the second detection unit 460 is a 3D line scanning detection mechanism that can identify the length and size of the frame material and determine whether the material has defects such as excessive bending or scratches. The preset standard is that the frame does not have defects such as excessive bending or scratches. The lifting structure 450 is electrically connected to the second detection unit 460. According to the detection result of the second detection unit 460, the lifting structure 450 adjusts the position of the second gripping component 420 to transport the NG material that does not meet the preset standard and the long / short frame that meets the preset standard from the conveying mechanism 5 to the corresponding tracks, which is beneficial for removing defective frames and reducing the product defect rate.

[0044] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The feeding mechanism 4 also includes an adjustment part 430. The second feeding track 442 is a long-frame feeding track, and the third feeding track 443 is a short-frame feeding track. Both the second feeding track 442 and the third feeding track 443 include two track bodies 441-1 spaced apart along the conveying direction. The track bodies 441-1 in the second feeding track 442 and the third feeding track 443 are connected to the adjustment part 430. The adjustment part 430 is used to adjust the distance between the two track bodies 441-1 along the conveying direction. In the embodiment, the adjustment part 430 is a cylinder assembly or other components with telescopic function. The track bodies 441-1 in the second feeding track 442 and the third feeding track 443 are connected to the adjustment part 430. The adjustment part 430 can adjust the distance between the track bodies 441-1 in real time according to the size of the long and short frames to ensure that the long and short frames are fed neatly.

[0045] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6It also includes a flipping mechanism 6, which is disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism 5 perpendicular to the conveying direction. The flipping mechanism 6 includes a third gripping component 610, a bracket 620, and a rotating component 640. The bracket 620 includes a first bracket 621 and a second bracket 622. The first bracket 621 is disposed along the conveying direction, and the second bracket 622 is connected to the first bracket 621 and extends horizontally perpendicular to the conveying direction. The third gripping component 610 is fixed on the second bracket 622. The rotating component 640 is used to drive the first bracket 621 to rotate along its own central axis and rotate the third gripping component 610 to the conveying mechanism 5. In the embodiment, the second bracket 622 is connected to the side wall of the first bracket 621. The rotating component 640 includes two bearings and a rotary motor. The first bracket 621 extends into the two bearings and is connected to the rotary motor, driving the first bracket 621 to rotate along its own central axis, thereby driving the third gripping component 610 to rotate. After rotation, the third gripping component 610 is rotated to the conveying mechanism 5 to achieve the flipping of the frame.

[0046] It should be noted that the third gripping component 610 includes multiple grippers, which are evenly arranged and mounted on the bracket 620 for gripping the frame. The frame in the photovoltaic module includes L-shaped frames. In actual applications, multiple L-shaped frames are stacked in opposite directions. When stacked in opposite directions, two L-shaped frames together form a "U" shape. The L-shaped frames placed upright are prone to tilting during stacking and conveying, resulting in inconsistent placement of the frames and making it difficult to grip them. Therefore, the rotating component 640 is needed to rotate the flipped frames. When the feeding mechanism picks up the frame, it picks up the horizontally extending end of the frame. When stacked in the forward direction, the horizontally extending end of the frame is located at the top. The feeding bracket 110 transports the frame to the designated position. At this time, the bracket 620 in the flipping mechanism 6 extends towards the side away from the support platform 3. The third gripping component 610 clamps the vertically extending end of the frame. After the third gripping component 610 clamps, the rotating component 640 rotates the bracket 620 to the conveying mechanism 5, so that the frame falls onto the conveying mechanism 5. This ensures that the L-shaped frames on the conveying mechanism 5 are all placed in the forward direction. On the one hand, this ensures the stability of the frame during transportation, and on the other hand, it facilitates the clamping of the second gripping component 420 during unloading.

[0047] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 6The flipping mechanism 6 also includes a fixing component 630 and a three-axis cylinder 650. The fixing component 630 includes a fixing part 631 and a mounting part 632. The fixing part 631 is fixed to the side wall of the support platform 3 in the vertical direction. The three-axis cylinder 650 is connected to the mounting part 632 and drives the mounting part 632 to move in the vertical direction. The rotating component 640 is fixed to the mounting part 632. In one embodiment, since the rotating component 640 is set on the mounting part 632, the three-axis cylinder 650 can drive the mounting part 632 to move in the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotating component 640 can be driven to move in the vertical direction by the three-axis cylinder 650. When the third gripping component 610 grips the frame, the three-axis cylinder 650 can raise the height of the rotating component 640 so that the frame is away from the conveying mechanism 5 in height, avoiding damage to the conveying mechanism and other components when the frame is flipped, extending the service life of the automatic feeding mechanism, and ensuring the safety of the flipped frame.

[0048] The working principle of this automatic feeding device for photovoltaic module frames is as follows: First, the worker transports the long and short frames to the positioning components 130 corresponding to the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2, respectively. The distance between the positioning component 131 and the track body 441-1 along the conveying direction is adjusted according to the lengths of the long and short frames. After the distance adjustment, the first detection unit 140 detects whether the long and short frames have protective paper. If protective paper is present, the paper removal unit 150 removes it. If no protective paper is present or after its removal, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 use the first gripping component 120 to grip the long and short frames, respectively, and transfer them to the first conveyor belt 510 and the second conveyor belt 520. If the long and short frames are stacked upright, after the first gripping component 120 transports the frames to the set position, the third gripping component 610 clamps the frames and flips them using the rotating component 640, ensuring that all frames on the conveying mechanism 5 are placed upright. The first conveyor belt 510 and the second conveyor belt 520... The long and short frames are conveyed to the bottom of the unloading mechanism 4. The second detection unit 460 detects the long and short frames. If the detection result is a defective product, the lifting structure 450 moves the frame to the first unloading track 441. If it is a good product, the lifting structure 450 places the long frame in the second unloading track 442 and the short frame in the third unloading track 443, thus completing the feeding process. This automatic feeding device is equipped with a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, and corresponding first conveyor belt 510, second conveyor belt 520, second unloading track 442, and third unloading track 443. It can automatically feed the long and short frames simultaneously. The feeding tracks of the long and short frames are independent of each other, avoiding the problem of inconsistent feeding positions and improving work efficiency. It is also equipped with multiple detection devices to remove protective paper on the frames and remove defective products, which can improve the product yield. In addition, multiple unloading mechanisms 4 are set up to supply materials to multiple production equipment at the same time, which greatly improves production efficiency.
