[0061] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, unless otherwise indicated, like numbers in the different drawings represent similar or analogous elements. The following exemplary embodiments described in the detailed description are not meant to be an all-inclusive description of all aspects of the application. Rather, they are merely examples that can illustrate some aspects of the application as defined by the appended claims.

[0062] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used herein should be understood as having the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms used herein do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are used to distinguish one element from another, and the like. Also, the terms "a" and "an" and "one" and "said" and the like used herein do not denote a limitation of quantity and are understood to mean "at least one". The terms "connected" and "coupled" and similar terms used herein do not necessarily denote a direct connection or coupling between two elements, but can include an indirect connection or coupling through one or more other elements.

[0063] In the production and manufacturing process from a silicon wafer to a photovoltaic cell, the silicon wafer or the cell is placed in a magazine, and the magazine provides the silicon wafer or the cell to some devices for wafer detection, production, such as a stringer, a silicon wafer sorting machine, a cell sorting machine, a cell inserting machine, a wafer cleaning and etching machine, and the like.

[0064] Different photovoltaic devices may not have the same loading position, or the same photovoltaic device may have different loading positions due to model problems. In addition, the space in the device workshop is limited, and the distance between devices is also a problem, so the compatibility of the magazine adapter vehicle is very high.

[0065] In order to adapt to different loading positions, the present application provides a magazine adapter device, as shown in Figures 1-3 The magazine adapter device is used to be installed in the adapter vehicle and is configured to exchange a first magazine in the adapter vehicle with a second magazine on a photovoltaic device.

[0066] The material box adapter comprises a first sliding frame 1, a first telescopic mechanism 2, a rotating mechanism 3, a material box taking and placing mechanism 7 and a mounting frame 4, the first sliding frame 1 is fixed at the driving end of the first telescopic mechanism 2 and is slidingly installed on the mounting frame 4, the mounting frame 4 is arranged in the adapter vehicle, the rotating mechanism 3 is arranged on the first sliding frame 1, and the first telescopic mechanism 2 drives the first sliding frame 1 to extend to outside of the adapter vehicle in a first direction and to be docked with the photovoltaic device or to be retracted into the adapter vehicle;

[0067] The material box taking and placing mechanism 7 is arranged at the driving end of the rotating mechanism 3, and the rotating mechanism 3 drives the material box taking and placing mechanism 7 to rotate in a horizontal plane;

[0068] The material box taking and placing mechanism 7 is configured to carry the first material box or the second material box.

[0069] By arranging the first telescopic mechanism 2 to drive the first sliding frame 1 to extend to outside of the adapter vehicle in a first direction and arranging the rotating mechanism 3 on the first sliding frame 1 to rotate the material box taking and placing mechanism 7 located on the rotating mechanism 3, the material box adapter can adapt to any side of the photovoltaic device to complete the adapter work of the material box.

[0070] It should be noted that the first material box in the adapter vehicle and the second material box on the photovoltaic device in the present application are not limited to empty material boxes without cells or full material boxes with cells. For different photovoltaic devices, the types of material boxes that the adapter vehicle and the photovoltaic device want to exchange are not completely consistent.

[0071] For example, for a stringer, the stringer completes the feeding of the battery piece through the material box. At this time, the stringer needs the adapter vehicle to provide a full material box with battery pieces. In addition, the stringer can also exchange the empty material box with the adapter vehicle, that is, at this time, the first material box in the adapter vehicle must have a full material box, and then can have an empty material box. The second material box of the stringer is an empty material box.

[0072] For example, if the material box adapter vehicle of the present application is docked with the discharging area of the silicon wafer sorting machine, for the photovoltaic device of the silicon wafer sorting machine, the adapter vehicle needs to provide an empty material box to take and place the sorted silicon wafers. In addition, the silicon wafer sorting machine can also exchange the full material box containing the sorted silicon wafers into the adapter vehicle, that is, at this time, the first material box in the adapter vehicle must have an empty material box, and then can have a full material box. The second material box of the silicon wafer sorting machine is a full material box.

[0103] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , 5 , 6, two distance measuring sensors 78 are arranged on the third mounting plate 71 in the sliding path of the sliding plate 72, and the distance measuring sensors 78 can be selected from laser distance measuring sensors, infrared distance measuring sensors, ultrasonic distance measuring sensors and the like.

[0104] By setting two distance measuring sensors 78 on the sliding path of the sliding plate 72, comparing the distance between the two distance measuring sensors 78 and the loading box area of the photovoltaic device, it is determined whether the rotating mechanism 3 rotates the loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 to the angle of docking with the photovoltaic device.

[0105] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 (a), in the area where the photovoltaic device A exchanges the loading box, if the rotating mechanism 3 drives the loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 to rotate and does not rotate to the correct docking angle, the two distance measuring sensors 78 mounted on the third mounting plate 71 measure the distances L1 and L2 from the photovoltaic device A, which are not equal. Figure 10 Only when the distances L1 and L2 measured by the distance measuring sensors 78 are as shown in (b), the loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 rotates to the correct docking angle.

[0106] Optionally, the third mounting plate 71 is provided with two second sensors 79 on the sliding path of the sliding plate 72.

[0107] By setting two second sensors 79 on the sliding path of the sliding plate 72, it is determined whether the center line of the third mounting plate 71 (parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding plate 72) coincides with the center line of the loading box conveying line, which helps to improve the docking accuracy of the loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 and the loading box conveying line.

[0108] Figure 11 Specifically, as shown in (a), (b), when the center line 710 of the third mounting plate 71 does not coincide with the center line 410 of the loading box conveying line, only one of the two second sensors 79 can sense the sensing sheet at the end of the loading box conveying line 400.

[0109] Only when both of the two second sensors 79 sense the sensing sheet at the end of the loading box conveying line 400, the center line 710 of the third mounting plate 71 coincides with the center line 410 of the loading box conveying line.

[0110] Optionally, the third mounting plate 71 is provided with two distance measuring sensors 78 on the sliding path of the sliding plate 72, and the third mounting plate 71 is provided with two second sensors 79 on the sliding path of the sliding plate 72.

[0111] Optionally, the sliding plate 72 is provided with a limiting block 701 and / or a proximity switch 702.

[0112] By setting the limiting block 701 and / or the proximity switch 702 on the sliding plate 72, it is determined whether the loading box taken out of the loading box conveying line by the loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 is in place on the sliding plate 72, which facilitates the further action of the subsequent loading box taking and placing mechanism 7 and helps to improve the docking efficiency of the loading box docking device.Optionally, in another embodiment of the magazine taking and placing mechanism 7, the magazine taking and placing mechanism 7 comprises a fourth mounting plate and a conveying mechanism, the fourth mounting plate is fixedly arranged at the driving end of the rotating mechanism 3, and the conveying mechanism is arranged on the fourth mounting plate and is configured to carry and convey the first magazine or the second magazine.

[0113] With the fourth mounting plate and the conveying mechanism, the magazine taking and placing mechanism 7 and the magazine conveying line can carry and convey the magazine by docking with the magazine conveying line in the same horizontal plane.

[0114] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a magazine connection vehicle, as shown in Figure 7 、 8 The magazine connection vehicle comprises a connection vehicle, at least two layers and at least one column of magazine conveying lines arranged in the connection vehicle, a lifting mechanism, and the magazine connection device provided by the present application, the magazine connection device is arranged at the driving end of the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism drives the magazine connection device to lift to dock with each layer of the magazine conveying line.

[0115] The magazine connection vehicle provided by the present application can adapt to different feeding positions through the magazine connection device, and can be applied to the feeding of magazines for various photovoltaic equipment in the production workshop of the photovoltaic field, and has universality.

[0116] Optionally, the magazine connection vehicle further comprises a power supply sliding head, the power supply sliding head is electrically connected with the driving mechanism of the connection vehicle, and the power supply sliding head is configured to be in sliding electrical connection with the power supply rail in the photovoltaic equipment production workshop to provide real-time power supply for the operation of the magazine connection vehicle.

[0117] By arranging the power supply sliding head on the magazine connection vehicle, the power supply rail can provide real-time power supply for the power supply sliding head in the process of sliding contact with the power supply rail in the photovoltaic equipment production workshop, and provides the movement power source of the magazine connection vehicle, without considering the influence of the charging time of the magazine connection vehicle on the connection efficiency.

[0118] Specifically, Figure 7 、 8 An embodiment of a magazine connection vehicle is given, in which the magazine conveying line 400 in the connection vehicle 200 has 3 layers and 2 columns, and each magazine conveying line can convey and carry 4 first magazines. The magazine conveying line 400 and the magazine connection device 100 are arranged in the shell 300 of the connection vehicle 200.

[0119] The lifting mechanism can employ a motor, chain, or sprockets. The material box connecting device 100 is fixedly mounted on one end of the chain. Sprockets are positioned above and below the outer casing 300, and the chain is fitted onto these sprockets. The motor drives the sprockets, causing the material box connecting device 100 to rise and fall vertically until it aligns with one of the three material box conveyor lines 400. The lifting mechanism can also be supplemented with a vertical guide mechanism, such as a slide rail. Of course, the lifting mechanism can also be implemented using other mechanical structures.

[0120] The second telescopic mechanism 6 drives the box picking and feeding mechanism to move along the first direction, aligning the box picking and placing mechanism 7 with one of the two box conveyor lines 400. The box picking and placing mechanism 7 receives the first box from the box conveyor line 400 inside the shuttle vehicle.

[0121] like Figure 8 As shown, the first telescopic mechanism 2 drives the first carriage 1 to extend out of the shuttle vehicle (i.e., outside the outer shell 300 of the shuttle vehicle) in a first direction. It should be noted that the first telescopic mechanism 2 driving the first carriage 1 to extend out of the shuttle vehicle in a first direction includes... Figure 8 The extended left side of the shuttle vehicle also includes the drive of the first carriage 1 to extend in the opposite direction to the right side of the shuttle vehicle.

[0122] When the rotating mechanism 3 needs to rotate and change the direction of the material box, the rotating mechanism 3 will then rotate and change the direction of the material box picking and placing mechanism 7.

[0123] like Figure 9 As shown, when the feeding position of photovoltaic equipment A is on its right side, the material box connecting device 100 of the material box connecting vehicle of this application can extend downward (downward in the direction shown in the figure) outside the connecting vehicle; when the feeding position of photovoltaic equipment B is on its left side, the material box connecting device 100 of the material box connecting vehicle of this application can extend downward outside the connecting vehicle; when the feeding position of photovoltaic equipment C is above the feeding position of photovoltaic equipment B, the material box connecting device 100 of the material box connecting vehicle of this application can extend upward (upward in the direction shown in the figure) outside the connecting vehicle. Since the material box connecting device 100 of the material box connecting vehicle of this application can extend out of the connecting vehicle to connect with the photovoltaic equipment, it is not limited by spatial position and can be adapted to feeding from different sides.
