Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel gap film application technology, specifically to a film coating machine for photovoltaic solar modules. Background Technology

[0002] There are gaps between the solar panels. To improve the luminous efficiency of solar panels, reflective films are usually attached to the gaps between the solar panels. The attached reflective film reflects the sunlight that shines on it onto the inside of the glass plate of the solar panel. Then the sunlight is further reflected from the inside of the glass plate onto the solar panel, thereby improving the utilization rate of the solar panel.

[0003] For example, patent CN116825869B discloses a gap reflective film application mechanism. The film application component of this patent uses a direct forward pushing film structure. After pushing the reflective film forward, the pushing film mechanism needs to be retracted so that the end of the reflective film can directly approach the lower part of the pressing roller, which is convenient for the lower heating and film application. However, in actual production, since there are multiple gaps between the photovoltaic panel battery modules, multiple film application components need to be added for this purpose. Each film application component needs to be equipped with a film feeding component. This not only increases the complexity of the equipment and increases energy consumption, but also increases the production and maintenance costs of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a photovoltaic solar module coating machine is provided for applying reflective film to photovoltaic solar modules. The machine includes: a frame 1 and a fixed platform 2, a lifting and conveying assembly 3, an output assembly 4, a horizontal moving platform 5, a film application device 6, and a control system 7 integrated on the frame 1. The fixed platform 2 is configured to cooperate with the lifting and conveying assembly 3 to support the photovoltaic module 8 input by the lifting and conveying assembly 3. The output assembly 4 is located on the left side of the lifting and conveying assembly 3 and is used to receive the photovoltaic module 8 after the coating process and output it to the coating machine. The horizontal moving platform 5 is located above the fixed platform 2 and the lifting and conveying assembly 3. Multiple film application devices 6 are provided and are spaced apart on the horizontal moving platform 5 along a direction perpendicular to the input direction of the lifting and conveying assembly 3. The horizontal moving platform 5 can cooperate with the film application devices 6 to pull the film. The control system 7 is electrically connected to the lifting and conveying assembly 3, the output assembly 4, the horizontal moving platform 5, and the film application devices 6 to control the coordinated operation between the various mechanisms, thereby achieving automated coating operations.

[0022] Specifically, the fixed platform 2 consists of multiple support rods spaced apart and at the same horizontal height; the lifting and conveying assembly 3 includes a lifting assembly 32 and a conveying assembly 31 driven by the lifting assembly 32 to move up and down. The conveying assembly 31 consists of a motor and multiple conveyor belts spaced apart, with the conveyor belts and support rods alternating. Driven by the lifting assembly 32, the conveying surface of the conveying assembly 31 can be higher or lower than the fixed platform 2. When it is necessary to input photovoltaic modules 8 into the coating machine and transfer photovoltaic modules 8 to the output assembly 4, the conveying surface of the conveying assembly 31 is higher than the fixed platform 2. However, when coating photovoltaic modules 8, the conveying surface of the conveying assembly 31 is lower than the fixed platform 2. At this time, the fixed platform 2 can stably support the photovoltaic modules 8, improving the accuracy of coating.

[0023] In this embodiment, the front and rear sides of the fixed platform 2 are also provided with lateral alignment components for aligning the photovoltaic module 8. A liftable blocking component is provided between the fixed platform 2 and the output component 4. With the cooperation of the lateral alignment component and the blocking component, the film application device 6 can accurately apply film to the photovoltaic module 8.

[0024] The horizontal moving platform 5 includes a support frame 51 and a linear module 52. The support frame 51 is mounted on the linear module 52 and located above the lifting and conveying assembly 3. The linear module 52 can drive the support frame 51 to move backward along the input direction of the conveying assembly 31.

[0025] The film-applying device 6 includes a mounting plate 61, a fixing plate 62, a film-feeding assembly 63, a tensioning roller 64, a film-applying assembly 65, a film-pressing assembly 66, and a film-cutting assembly 67. The mounting plate 61 is fixedly connected to the support frame 51, and the film-feeding assembly 63 is mounted on the upper part of the mounting plate 61. The tensioning roller 64, the film-feeding assembly 65, the film-pressing assembly 66, and the film-cutting assembly 67 are located on the lower part of the mounting plate 61 via the fixing plate 62. The film-cutting assembly 67 is located between the film-feeding assembly 65 and the film-pressing assembly 66 and is used to cut the reflective film. In this embodiment, the film-cutting assembly 67 can use existing technology. The film-feeding assembly 63 includes a roller for storing the reflective film and a film-feeding motor for driving the roller to rotate. The output end of the film-feeding motor is fixedly connected to the roller. Several tensioning rollers 64 are provided, and all are located between the film-feeding assembly 63 and the film-feeding assembly 65.

[0026] The film-applying assembly 65 includes components such as a film-applying cylinder, a rotating arm, a suction cup, an idler wheel, a material support block, and a film-applying wheel. The upper end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 62, and the middle part of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the film-applying cylinder. When the film-applying cylinder is activated, it can push the rotating arm to swing up and down. The suction cup, idler wheel, material support block, and film-applying wheel are all located at the lower part of the rotating arm. The idler wheel is rotatably located on the upper side of the material support block, and the film-applying wheel is rotatably located on the lower side of the material support block. The suction cup and the material support block are arranged facing each other and corresponding in position to maintain the output posture of the reflective film. The reflective film starts from the roller and passes sequentially through the tensioning wheel 64, the idler wheel, and the suction cup to reach the film-applying wheel. Driven by the film-applying cylinder, the reflective film can follow the film-applying wheel to adhere to the end face of the photovoltaic module. The film-pressing assembly 66 includes a film-pressing cylinder and a pressure roller that receives the pressure from the film-pressing cylinder. The film-pressing assembly 66 is used to press the reflective film tightly to ensure a tight fit.

[0027] In this embodiment, since the film-applying device 6 is installed on the horizontal moving platform 5, the horizontal moving platform 5 needs to be installed at a certain speed to drive the film-applying device 6 to move during the film-applying process. The film-applying device 6 can pull the material with the help of the horizontal moving platform 5 during the movement, and the reflective film can be smoothly pulled out and applied to the photovoltaic module. Compared with the prior art, which has a dedicated film feeding component in each film-applying component, the structure of this film-applying machine is greatly simplified, and its production cost is also reduced.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
