Description
A flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module production technology, specifically to a flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules. Background Technology
[0002] Individual solar cells cannot be used directly as power sources. To use them as power sources, several individual cells must be connected in series and parallel and tightly packaged into modules. Solar cell modules, also called solar panels, are the core and most important part of a solar power generation system. Their function is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which can then be stored in batteries or used to power loads. Currently, during the production of solar photovoltaic modules, a detailed inspection of both sides of the module is required during the final inspection process to ensure quality control.
[0003] Traditional photovoltaic module flipping devices typically use a frame structure and clamping structure to fix the solar panels, and then use motors driven by shafts at both ends of the frame to flip and adjust the clamped solar panels, making it convenient for users to observe and inspect them.
[0004] While the aforementioned flipping device can stably flip and adjust the solar panels during flipping inspection, it is difficult to integrate with the production line. Furthermore, the device has many electrical components and complex operation, making it unsuitable for long-term stable use and affecting the stability of the final inspection process. Therefore, we propose a flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules, comprising a main frame, with flipping adjustment mechanisms shaft-connected to both sides of the top of the main frame, the flipping adjustment mechanism comprising a first side frame, a shaft connected to the center of one side of the first side frame, and limit frames distributed at both ends of the other side of the first side frame, one end of the limit frame being connected to a second side frame, and ring frames fixed to the upper and lower sides of the second side frame, a photovoltaic panel being engaged between the two sets of limit frames, connecting frames fixed to the ends of the limit frames, screws distributed on one side of the outer wall of the connecting frame, a guide wheel fixed to the other side of the outer wall of the connecting frame, an upper limit plate fixed to the top surface of the limit frame, and a limit wheel shaft-connected to one side of the bottom surface of the limit frame, with sliding grooves formed on the inner walls of the first and second side frames.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting frame is fitted with the sliding grooves on the inner walls of the first and second side frames through connecting frames at both ends, and the connecting frames are fixed to the inner wall of the sliding grooves by screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting frame is threadedly fixed to the upper limiting plate, and the limiting frame is limited at both ends of the photovoltaic panel by the upper limiting plate and the limiting wheel.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting wheels are arranged at equal intervals along one side of the bottom surface of the limiting frame, and the limiting wheels are at an inclined angle.
[0011] Furthermore, the first side frame and the second side frame are rotatably connected to both ends of the main frame via shafts, and the first side frame and the second side frame are connected and fixed together by a limiting frame and a connecting frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the main frame includes a wall frame, a base frame is fixed to the bottom of the wall frame, a fixing plate is connected to one end of the base frame, and support arms are fixed to both sides of the top of the wall frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the support arm is fixedly connected to the base frame, the fixing plate, and the wall frame, and a circular hole is provided in the center of the fixing plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The flipping adjustment mechanism of this flipping device is formed by the combination and connection of the first side frame and the second side frame with the limiting frames on both sides. When the conveyor line transports the photovoltaic panel, it can directly enter the limiting wheels on both sides of the limiting frame to maintain the transport docking. It can rotate with the shaft to realize the overall structure flipping, which is convenient for inspecting both sides of the photovoltaic panel. When the photovoltaic panel is transported with the limiting frame, the photovoltaic panel, together with the limiting wheels and the limiting frame at the tilt angle, maintains the limiting stability of the photovoltaic panel flipping process. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate. Only slight manual assistance is needed to perform the final inspection operation. The structure has strong stability.
[0016] The connecting frames at both ends of the two sets of limit frames of this flipping device can be slidably adjusted along the sliding grooves of the first side frame and the second side frame, and fixed with screws, so that the limit size of the limit frame can be adjusted to adapt to products of different sizes.
[0017] This flipping device mainly consists of a main frame and a flipping adjustment mechanism. The main frame is supported by base frames on both sides of the bottom. At the same time, rivets and other fasteners can be inserted into the round holes at the ends of the base frames to fix the bracket to the placement environment, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall structure. The support arm at the top provides stable support for the shaft connection of the first and second side frames, keeping the conveying and inspection process stable. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] This utility model provides a flipping device for the final inspection process of photovoltaic modules as shown in Figures 1-4. It includes a main frame 1, with flipping adjustment mechanisms 2 connected to the top two sides of the main frame 1. The main frame 1 includes a wall frame 101, with a base frame 102 fixed at the bottom of the wall frame 101. A fixing plate 103 is connected to one end of the base frame 102, and support arms 104 are fixed to the top two sides of the wall frame 101.
[0029] To maintain structural stability during the final inspection of photovoltaic modules, as shown in Figure 1, this flipping device mainly consists of a main frame 1 and a flipping adjustment mechanism 2. The main body of the wall frame 101 is supported at the bottom by the base frame 102 on both sides. At the same time, fasteners such as rivets can be inserted into the round holes at the ends of the base frame 102 to fix the bracket to the placement environment, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall structure. The top support arm 104 provides stable support for the shaft connection of the first side frame 201 and the second side frame 204, keeping the transport and inspection process stable.
[0030] As shown in Figure 2-4, the flipping adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first side frame 201. A shaft 202 is connected to the center of one side of the first side frame 201. Limiting frames 203 are distributed at both ends of the other side of the first side frame 201. A second side frame 204 is connected to one end of the limiting frame 203. Ring frames 205 are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the second side frame 204. A photovoltaic panel 206 is engaged between the two sets of limiting frames 203. A connecting frame 207 is fixed at both ends of the limiting frame 203. Screws 208 are distributed on one outer wall of the connecting frame 207. A guide wheel 209 is fixed on the other outer wall of the connecting frame 207. An upper limit plate 210 is fixed on the top surface of the limiting frame 203. A limiting wheel 211 is axially connected to one side of the bottom surface of the limiting frame 203. A sliding groove 212 is opened on the inner wall of the first side frame 201 and the second side frame 204.
[0031] To facilitate stable connection of solar panels and conveyor lines of different sizes, as shown in Figure 2-4, the flipping adjustment mechanism 2 of this flipping device is formed by the combination of the first side frame 201 and the second side frame 204 with the limiting frames 203 on both sides. When the conveyor line transports the photovoltaic panel 206, it can directly enter the limiting wheels 211 on both sides of the limiting frame 203 to maintain the transport connection. It can rotate with the shaft 202 to realize the overall structure flipping, which facilitates the inspection of both sides of the photovoltaic panel 206. The connecting frames 207 connected to both ends of the limiting frame 203 can slide and adjust along the sliding grooves 212 of the first side frame 201 and the second side frame 204, and be fixed with screws 208. Thus, the limiting size of the limiting frame 203 can be adjusted to adapt to products of different sizes.
[0032] When the aforementioned limiting frame 203 is used in conjunction with the photovoltaic panel 206 for transportation, the photovoltaic panel 206, together with the inclined limiting wheel 211 and the limiting frame 203, maintains the limiting stability of the photovoltaic panel 206 during the flipping process. Meanwhile, the ring frame 205 provides a certain degree of protection and assists in the flipping arc during the flipping process, making it convenient for manual flipping operations. The overall structure is simple, requiring only slight manual assistance for final inspection operations, and has strong structural stability.
[0033] In summary, when using this flipping device, firstly, align the flipping adjustment mechanism 2 of the device parallel to the conveyor line. Then, fix the fixing plate 103 at the bottom of the wall frame 101. After placement, it can be connected to the production line. Subsequently, the photovoltaic panel 206 enters the range of the flipping adjustment mechanism 2 during the conveying process. One end of the photovoltaic panel 206 first contacts the guide wheels 209 at the ends of the limit frames 203 on both sides, and slides in smoothly. As it slides into the gap between the upper limit plate 210 and the limit wheel 211 on the inner wall of the limit frame 203, it is kept in the limit position. Then, the user flips the entire first side frame 201 and the second side frame 204, flips the photovoltaic panel 206, and checks the back side. After the inspection is completed, the photovoltaic panel 206 can be manually pushed directly into the next set of production lines.
