Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module installation device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are the core component of photovoltaic power generation systems. They are assembled from multiple photovoltaic cells using encapsulation materials. Their main function is to convert sunlight into direct current electricity. Photovoltaic modules typically consist of core components such as cells, interconnecting strips, busbars, photovoltaic glass, encapsulating film, backsheet, aluminum frame, and junction box. Photovoltaic modules are generally installed outdoors and fixed using frame structures.

[0003] Currently, when installing photovoltaic (PV) modules on frame structures, cranes are typically used for transporting the modules. However, these cranes are large, and for some industrial projects, there is often insufficient space on-site to accommodate their operation. Complex terrain and numerous obstacles not only limit the use of large cranes but may also necessitate adjustments or dismantling of existing structures to create sufficient operating space. The compact arrangement of PV modules also increases the installation difficulty. Furthermore, crane operation is challenging and requires specialized personnel, making it inconvenient for workers installing the PV modules. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a photovoltaic module installation device to address the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a photovoltaic module installation device, comprising:

Simultaneously, the adjustable conveying angle of the conveying platform effectively adapts to different installation requirements, facilitating the transport of photovoltaic modules to the profile frame and improving the flexibility of the installation equipment. The control mechanism controls the loading mechanism to push the photovoltaic modules from the chamber onto the conveying platform, and then controls the conveying mechanism to transport the photovoltaic modules from the platform to the profile frame end. This automated control process improves the efficiency of transportation and installation.

[0011] In some embodiments, the top of the vehicle body is provided with a storage area communicating with the cavity, and the bottom of the vehicle body is provided with an installation area communicating with the cavity. The loading mechanism includes a housing, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly. The conveying mechanism includes a feeding rack, a third drive assembly, and a fourth drive assembly.

The push cylinder drives the push plate to push the photovoltaic module in the storage area into the top of the feeding rack.

[0014] In some embodiments, the interior of the box shell is provided with a partition shelf for dividing the interior of the box shell into at least a portion of the storage space, and the outer side wall of the box shell is provided with a handrail.

[0016] In some embodiments, the fourth drive assembly includes a mounting base, a fixed base, a rotating block, a locking bolt, a lifting cylinder, and a spherical part. The feeding frame is rotatably connected to the top of the vehicle body, and the lifting cylinder is connected to the control mechanism.

[0021] 2. By adjusting the tilt angle of the conveyor platform to a certain extent, it can adapt to the installation requirements of some angles and positions. The photovoltaic modules are transported to the end of the profile frame by the conveyor platform, which makes it easier for workers on the profile frame to pick up the photovoltaic modules.

The use of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner consistent with this disclosure.

[0035] The term "comprising" is open-ended. As used in the appended claims, it does not exclude additional structures or steps.

[0036] "First," "second," etc. As used in this article, these terms serve as labels for the nouns preceding them and do not imply any type of ordering (e.g., spatial, temporal, logical, etc.). Detailed Implementation

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a photovoltaic module installation device, including a vehicle body 1, a conveying mechanism 3, a loading mechanism 2, and a control mechanism. The vehicle body 1 has a chamber for storing multiple photovoltaic modules inside. The loading mechanism 2 and the control mechanism are mounted on the vehicle body 1. The conveying mechanism 3 is located on the top side wall of the vehicle body 1, and a conveying platform for conveying photovoltaic modules is located on the top of the conveying mechanism 3. Both the loading mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 are connected to the control mechanism. The control mechanism controls the actions of the conveying mechanism 3 and the loading mechanism 2, so that the loading mechanism 2 can push the photovoltaic modules in the chamber onto the conveying platform, and the conveying mechanism 3 can transport the photovoltaic modules on the conveying platform to the profile frame end. Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 3 can adjust the tilt angle of the conveying platform to meet the needs of installing photovoltaic modules on profile frames with different tilt angles.

[0039] In some implementation schemes, such as Figure 3As shown, the vehicle body 1 includes a housing 4, a door 14, and wheels 10. The housing 4 has an internal chamber capable of storing multiple photovoltaic modules. The top of the housing 4 has a storage area 11 connecting to the chamber, and the bottom of the housing 4 has an installation area 5 connecting to the chamber. The door 14 is hinged to the side wall of the housing 4, and multiple rolling wheels 10 are bolted to the bottom of the door 14 to facilitate movement of the equipment at the installation site and transportation of the photovoltaic modules. Specifically, in this embodiment, four wheels 10 are installed: two are swivel wheels and two are locking wheels. The locking wheels ensure the stability of the vehicle body 1 during the transportation of the photovoltaic modules, preventing unnecessary movement of the entire equipment due to external forces.

[0040] In some implementations, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a housing 16, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly; the conveying mechanism 3 includes a feeding rack 22, a third drive assembly, and a fourth drive assembly 28. The first, second, third, and fourth drive assemblies 28 are all connected to a control mechanism. The first drive assembly is located within the installation area 5, and the housing 16 and feeding rack 22, corresponding to the storage area 11, are respectively connected to the top side walls of the vehicle body 1. The second drive assembly is located within the housing 16, the third drive assembly is located on the feeding rack 22, and the fourth drive assembly 28 is located on the side wall of the vehicle body 1, with the output end of the fourth drive assembly 28 corresponding to the bottom of the unfolded feeding rack 22. The first drive assembly is used to lift the photovoltaic modules in the chamber to the storage area 11. The second drive assembly is used to push the photovoltaic modules in the storage area 11 to the conveying platform at the top of the feeding rack 22. The third drive assembly is used to transport the photovoltaic modules located on the feeding rack 22 to the unloading end of the conveying platform, which is the profile rack. The fourth drive assembly 28 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the conveying platform.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first drive assembly includes a tray 13 and multiple multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6. The multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 are connected to a control mechanism. The multiple multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 are located in various corners of the installation area 5. The output ends of each multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6 are connected to the tray 13. Multiple photovoltaic modules located in the cavity are stacked on top of the tray 13. Specifically, in this embodiment, four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 are used. The four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 are respectively installed in the four corners of the installation area 5 inside the housing 4. The output ends of the four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 are respectively connected to the bottom corner of the tray.

[0042] When there are insufficient photovoltaic modules in the storage area 11, the control mechanism controls four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 to extend upwards synchronously, driving the support plate 13 to lift the photovoltaic modules in the chamber. This raises the topmost photovoltaic module in the chamber into the storage area 11, aligning it with the output end of the second drive component. The control mechanism coordinates the synchronous movement of the four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 to ensure that the photovoltaic modules remain horizontally stable during the ascent.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second drive assembly includes a pusher plate 18 and a pusher cylinder 20. The pusher cylinder 20 is connected to the control mechanism. A storage groove 15 is provided on the side wall of one end of the top of the vehicle body 1, located in the storage area 11. The pusher plate 18 is slidably embedded in the storage groove 15. The pusher cylinder 20 is installed inside the housing 16. The output end of the pusher cylinder 20 is bolted to the pusher plate 18 through the top side wall of the vehicle body 1. The pusher cylinder 20 drives the pusher plate 18 to slide towards the storage area 11. The pusher plate 18 can push the photovoltaic modules in the storage area 11 into the top of the feeding rack 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pusher cylinder 20 is a MOB32X100.

[0044] When the photovoltaic module in the cavity is lifted to the storage area 11, the control mechanism drives the push cylinder 20, which drives the push plate 18 to disengage from the storage slot 15 and slide horizontally towards the photovoltaic module in the storage area 11. After the push plate 18 abuts against the photovoltaic module, it pushes it to the horizontal conveying platform and then resets and retracts it into the storage slot 15, so that the next photovoltaic module in the cavity can be lifted into the storage area 11 and then prepared for the next operation.

[0045] Furthermore, a divider 21 is bolted inside the housing 16 to divide the interior of the housing 16 into at least a portion of the storage space, and a handrail 17 is bolted to the outer wall of the housing 16.

[0046] The partition rack 21 increases the storage space inside the housing 16, which can be used to store installation tools and related accessories for easy access by staff. The partition rack 21 also increases the overall structural strength of the housing 16, reducing damage to the contents under external forces. The handrail 17 added to the outside of the housing 16 provides a convenient grip for the operator, making the entire device easier to push or adjust. Especially when the equipment is full of photovoltaic modules or needs to be moved on uneven ground, the handrail 17 greatly improves the convenience and flexibility of operation. By holding the handrail 17, the operator can better control the direction and speed of the vehicle 1, particularly in confined spaces or when precise alignment of the installation position is required, enabling more precise operations.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the third drive assembly includes a belt 25, a housing 23, and an electric roller 24, which is connected to the control mechanism. A discharge port 12 is provided on the side wall of the vehicle body 1 located in the storage area 11 and opposite the storage slot 15. A feeding rack 22 is hinged to the side wall of the vehicle body 1 where the discharge port 12 is located, and the conveying platform at the top of the feeding rack 22 corresponds to the discharge port 12. Two housings 23 are installed at the bottom of the feeding rack 22 along the conveying direction. Grooves 29 are provided on both sides of the top of the feeding rack 22, allowing passage and connection to the corresponding bottom housing 23. Two electric rollers 24 are installed inside the housings 23 on both sides via bearings, and the electric rollers 24 within the same housing 23 are connected by a belt 25. Specifically, in this embodiment, the electric roller 24 is a WINROLLER model.

[0048] When the photovoltaic modules are pushed by the push plate 18 to the top of the feeding rack 22 through the discharge port 12, they await being transported to the unloading end of the conveyor platform. The electric roller 24, controlled by a control mechanism, drives the belt 25, which transports the photovoltaic modules located at one end of the conveyor platform to the unloading end. The use of a third drive assembly achieves automated transport of the photovoltaic modules from the feeding rack 22 to the unloading end of the conveyor platform, improving work efficiency, reducing the need for manual handling, and ensuring operational safety and accuracy.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the fourth drive assembly 28 includes a mounting base 26, a fixed base 30, a rotating block 31, a locking bolt 33, a lifting cylinder 34, and a spherical part 35. The lifting cylinder 34 is connected to the control mechanism. A fixed base 30 is provided on the side wall of the vehicle body corresponding to the unfolded side of the feeding rack. A rotating block 31 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 30 via a rotating shaft. The lifting cylinder 34 is welded to the rotating block 31, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 34 is connected to the spherical part 35. The rotating block 31 has multiple threaded grooves 32 spaced along the rotation direction, which can thread-mate with the locking bolt 33. By screwing the locking bolt 33 into different threaded grooves 32, the locking bolt 33 limits the lifting cylinder 34, thereby adjusting the angle between the lifting cylinder 34 and the side wall of the vehicle body. A mounting base 26 is provided at the bottom center of the feeding rack. The mounting base 26 has a sliding groove 27 that can slide with the spherical part 35. The lifting cylinder 34 extends from its output end, and the spherical part 35 slides within the sliding groove 27, pushing the feeding frame upward to rotate, thereby adjusting the inclination angle between the feeding frame and the horizontal plane. Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the rotating block 31 has three threaded grooves 32. When the locking bolt 33 is screwed into the lowest threaded groove 32, the rotating block 31 drives the lifting cylinder 34 to a vertical position. In this embodiment, the lifting cylinder 34 is model ZKZG.

[0050] When the angle of the conveyor platform needs to be adjusted to better deliver photovoltaic modules to the workers on the profile rack, the feeding rack is first unfolded. Due to the hinge connection between the feeding rack and the top of the vehicle body, the feeding rack is horizontal when unfolded. Then, the angle of the rotating block 31 is adjusted and fixed. The lifting cylinder 34 is activated appropriately. The output end of the lifting cylinder 34 drives the ball part 35 to move until the ball part 35 is engaged inside the sliding groove 27. According to the height position of the profile rack, the lifting cylinder 34 is further extended. The ball part 35 slides in the sliding groove 27 and provides upward thrust and support to the feeding rack, so that the unloading end of the feeding rack 22 rotates around the discharge port 12 until the unloading end corresponds to the height of the profile rack. By dynamically adjusting the angle of the conveyor platform, the equipment can operate flexibly in different installation environments and conditions, improving the overall adaptability and work efficiency of the equipment.

[0051] Specifically, the support height of the unloading end of the feeding rack 22 is set within a corresponding adjustment range according to the actual situation, so that the feeding rack 22 can be adjusted within a suitable tilt angle range. If it exceeds this adjustment range, the angle between the conveying platform at the top of the feeding rack 22 and the horizontal plane will be too large, which will limit the transportation effect of photovoltaic modules on the feeding rack 22 under a large tilt angle. In this embodiment, the tilt angle adjustment range of the feeding rack is 30° to 60°.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control mechanism includes a controller 19, an oil tank 8, a battery module 7, and a pump body 9. In this embodiment, the first drive component, the second drive component, and the fourth drive component 28 are all hydraulically driven, while the third drive component is electrically controlled.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, a limit sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the feeding rack 22 at the unloading end. The limit sensor is electrically connected to the controller 19. The limit sensor is used to detect whether the photovoltaic module at the top of the feeding rack 22 has been transported to the unloading end. If the limit sensor detects the photovoltaic module, it sends the positioning information to the controller 19. When the controller 19 receives the positioning information of the photovoltaic module, it controls the electric roller 24 to stop moving, so that the belt 25 will not further over-transport the photovoltaic module and cause it to slip off the conveyor platform.

[0054] By using limit sensors, once the photovoltaic module reaches the predetermined position, the electric roller 24 stops working, completing the conveying task, which makes it easier for the staff on the profile rack to pick up the photovoltaic module at the unloading end.

[0055] Specifically, the oil tank 8, the multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6 in the first drive assembly, the push cylinder 20 in the second drive assembly, and the lifting cylinder 34 in the fourth drive assembly 28 are all connected to the pump body 9 via pipelines. The pump body 9 and the electric roller 24 in the third drive assembly are all electrically connected to the controller 19 via wires. The controller 19 is installed inside the housing 16. The oil tank 8 and the battery module 7 are both installed in the installation area 5.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery module 7 is composed of multiple lithium batteries, which can power the electronic devices and pump body 9 on the equipment. The pump body 9 is used to pump the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 8 to the multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6, the pushing cylinder 20, and the lifting cylinder 34, so as to realize the corresponding actions by hydraulic drive. At the same time, in this embodiment, the pump body 9 is preferably a TQ-VP vane pump.

[0057] The implementation principle of a photovoltaic module installation device is as follows:

[0058] In the ready state, open the box door 14, use a forklift or other equipment to send the stacked photovoltaic modules into the box 4, and close the box door 14. Push the handle 17 to move the box 4 on the ground to the position of the photovoltaic module profile rack.

[0059] In the initial state, the photovoltaic modules are stacked on the tray 13 in the bottom cavity of the vehicle body 1, and the locking wheels prevent the entire equipment from moving. The feeding rack 22 is rotated and pulled open to unfold it from the storage area 11 into a horizontal state, and the lifting cylinder 34 is rotated and adjusted in angle by the rotating block 31. The lifting cylinder 34 is fixed by screwing the locking bolt 33 into the corresponding threaded groove 32.

[0060] First, the controller 19 controls the pump body 9 to send hydraulic oil into the lifting cylinder 34. The lifting cylinder 34 is used to adjust the ball part 35 at the output end to extend and engage in the sliding groove 27 of the bottom mounting seat 26 of the feeder 22.

[0061] Next, the controller 19 controls the pump body 9 to send hydraulic oil into the multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6, pushing the pallet 13 upward to lift the photovoltaic module from the chamber to the storage area 11. When the pallet 13 reaches the designated height, the multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6 stops working, ensuring that the photovoltaic module is stably placed in the storage area 11, ready for the next operation.

[0062] Then, the controller 19 controls the pump body 9 to send hydraulic oil into the push cylinder 20. The push cylinder 20 starts to work, and its output end pushes the push plate 18 to move along the receiving groove 15 to the discharge port 12. The push plate 18 contacts the photovoltaic module and pushes it horizontally to the top of the feeding rack 22. After the photovoltaic module moves to the top of the feeding rack 22, the push cylinder 20 resets.

[0063] Furthermore, the controller 19 controls the pump body 9 to send hydraulic oil into the lifting cylinder 34, and uses the lifting cylinder 34 to adjust the tilt angle of the top conveying platform of the feeding frame 22 so that the unloading end of the feeding frame 22 matches the height of the profile frame.

[0064] Finally, the controller 19 sends a command to the electric roller 24, causing it to start rotating and drive the photovoltaic modules forward along the feeding rack 22 via the belt 25. As the electric roller 24 rotates, the photovoltaic modules smoothly slide from one end of the feeding rack 22 to the other end, i.e., the unloading end of the conveyor platform, making it easy for workers on the profile rack to pick up the photovoltaic modules at the unloading end.

[0065] After the photovoltaic module at the top is installed, the feeding rack 22 will return to the horizontal position under the action of the controller 19. Then, under the control of the controller 19, the pump body 9 will fill the multi-stage telescopic cylinder 6 with hydraulic oil. The four multi-stage telescopic cylinders 6 will start and push the pallet 13 upward. The pallet 13 will push the internally stacked photovoltaic modules upward, so that the photovoltaic module at the top moves to the position of the storage area 11. Then, the above steps are repeated to realize the feeding of photovoltaic modules.

[0066] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
