Description
Photovoltaic module suction cup feeding device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module installation technology, specifically a photovoltaic module suction cup feeding device. 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, in the production process of solar photovoltaic modules, it is necessary to conduct an overall appearance inspection, and then the finished photovoltaic modules on the conveyor belt need to be picked up by equipment and placed on the finished product area.
[0003] Traditional photovoltaic module loading and unloading devices typically use a support plate to lift and lower the photovoltaic modules in a horizontal position. Generally, clamping structures such as grippers hold the two side frames of the top surface of the solar panel. After being clamped by the clamping structure, the solar panel is raised and then, in conjunction with the conveying structure, unloads the solar panel to the production line position.
[0004] The aforementioned unloading device mainly uses a clamping structure to clamp the solar panels during clamping and conveying to maintain stability during the turnover and unloading process. However, due to the narrow structure of the two sides of the solar panels, clamping instability is prone to occur during clamping and unloading. In addition, the clamping components are mostly rigid structures, which can easily damage or deform the clamped solar panels during the clamping and turnover operation, affecting the normal use of the solar panels. Therefore, we propose a photovoltaic module suction cup unloading device. 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 suction cup-type feeding device for photovoltaic modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module suction cup feeding device, comprising a main frame, suction cup gripping mechanisms distributed on both sides of the main frame, each suction cup gripping mechanism including an adjusting frame, a first threaded shaft threaded through the center of the adjusting frame, one end of the first threaded shaft connected to a dual-axis output motor, the other end of the dual-axis output motor connected to a second threaded shaft, transverse sliding grooves opened inside both ends of the adjusting frame, a transverse electric screw set at the center of the inner side of the transverse sliding groove, an adjusting seat threadedly connected to the outer wall of the transverse electric screw, a suction cup frame fixed to one side of the bottom end of the adjusting seat, a suction cup post fixed to the bottom end of the suction cup frame, a telescopic post sleeved on the inner wall of the suction cup post, a suction cup connected to the bottom end of the telescopic post, a negative pressure pipe connected to the center of the top end of the telescopic post, springs attached around the top of the telescopic post, a clamping cylinder fixed to one side of the outer wall of the suction cup frame, and a soft rubber head fixed to the end of the clamping cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment frame forms a threaded transmission structure with the dual-shaft motor via the first threaded shaft, and three sets of adjustment frames are distributed along both sides of the main frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting seat forms a transmission structure with both ends of the adjusting frame through a transverse electric screw and a transverse sliding groove, and the suction cup frame is fixedly connected to the adjusting seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic pile forms an elastic telescopic structure with the spring and the suction cup pile, and the suction cup is connected to the negative pressure pipe through the telescopic pile.
[0011] Furthermore, the soft rubber head forms a telescopic structure with one side of the suction cup frame via a clamping cylinder, and the soft rubber head is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the main frame includes a main structural frame, with longitudinal sliding grooves inside both ends of the main structural frame, and limit grooves on the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal sliding grooves. An air pump frame is fixed on the top surface of the main structural frame, and negative pressure pipes are connected to both sides of the air pump frame through conduits. A lifting cylinder frame is fixed at one end of the main structural frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the negative pressure pipe is connected to both sides of the air pump frame via a conduit, and the air pump frame is fixedly connected to the top surface of the main structure frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] When the suction cups are used to pick up and grip the solar panels, the negative pressure suction force is generated on the solar panels that are attached to the bottom of the suction cups through the connection between the telescopic post inside the suction cups and the negative pressure tube, so as to maintain stable gripping. The suction cups themselves can work with the telescopic post and spring to buffer the moment of contact with the solar panels, assisting in stable and flexible contact with the solar panels. They can also work with the soft rubber head of the clamping cylinder to extend and press and clamp the solar panels against the frame on both sides, which can assist the suction and gripping process as needed, and improve stability while keeping the solar panels safe.
[0016] This feeding device uses suction cups at both ends of the adjustment frame to stably adsorb the surface of the solar panel. The adjustment frame itself can be driven by the first threaded shaft and the dual-axis output motor to adjust longitudinally within the main frame, thereby adapting to solar panels of different lengths. The suction cups at both ends of the adjustment frame can be adjusted laterally in the transverse slide through the transverse electric screws at both ends, thereby adapting to solar panel sizes of different widths and improving the gripping adaptability when feeding solar panels of different sizes.
[0017] This feeding device can be integrated into a main structural frame and a top-fixed air pump frame. The air pump frame is connected to a negative pressure pump through its own pipes, and can be connected to the negative pressure pipes on both sides to provide driving force for the suction cup to draw negative pressure. The two ends of the main structural frame can be provided with longitudinal sliding grooves to provide longitudinal adjustment and limit for the inserted suction cup gripping mechanism, so as to maintain the structural stability of the whole structure during adjustment and feeding gripping.

[0028] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] This utility model provides a photovoltaic module suction cup unloading device as shown in Figures 1-4, including a main frame 1, suction cup gripping mechanisms 2 distributed on both sides of the main frame 1, the main frame 1 includes a main structural frame 101, longitudinal sliding grooves 102 are opened inside both ends of the main structural frame 101, limit grooves 103 are opened on the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal sliding grooves 102, an air pump frame 104 is fixed on the top surface of the main structural frame 101, and negative pressure pipes 212 are connected to both sides of the air pump frame 104 through conduits, and a lifting cylinder frame 105 is fixed at one end of the main structural frame 101.
[0030] To provide a stable loading and unloading process for solar panels, as shown in Figure 1, this unloading device can form an integral structure through the main structural frame 101 and the air pump frame 104 fixed at the top. The air pump frame 104 is connected to the negative pressure pump through its own pipe, and can be connected to the negative pressure pipe 212 on both sides to provide driving force for the suction cup to draw negative pressure. The longitudinal grooves 102 at both ends of the main structural frame 101 can provide longitudinal adjustment and limiting function for the inserted suction cup gripping mechanism 2, so as to maintain the structural stability of the overall structure during the adjustment and unloading gripping process.
[0031] As shown in Figure 2-5, the suction cup gripping mechanism 2 includes an adjusting frame 201. A first threaded shaft 202 is threaded through the center of the adjusting frame 201. One end of the first threaded shaft 202 is connected to a dual-shaft output motor 203, and the other end of the dual-shaft output motor 203 is connected to a second threaded shaft 204. Transverse sliding grooves 205 are formed inside both ends of the adjusting frame 201. A transverse electric screw 206 is set at the center of the transverse sliding groove 205. An adjusting seat 2 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the transverse electric screw 206. 07. A suction cup frame 208 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the adjusting seat 207. A suction cup post 209 is fixed to the bottom of the suction cup frame 208. A telescopic post 210 is sleeved on the inner wall of the suction cup post 209. A suction cup 211 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic post 210. A negative pressure pipe 212 is connected to the center of the top of the telescopic post 210. A spring 213 is attached around the top of the telescopic post 210. A clamping cylinder 214 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the suction cup frame 208. A soft rubber head 215 is fixed to the end of the clamping cylinder 214.
[0032] To facilitate stable adsorption and unloading of solar panels of different sizes, as shown in Figures 3-4, this unloading device uses suction cups 208 at both ends of the adjusting frame 201 in conjunction with suction cups 211 to stably adsorb the surface of the solar panel. The adjusting frame 201 itself can be driven by the first threaded shaft 202 and the dual-shaft motor 203 to adjust longitudinally within the main frame 1, thereby adapting to solar panels of different lengths. The suction cups 208 at both ends of the adjusting frame 201 can be adjusted laterally in the transverse slide groove 205 through the transverse electric screws 206 at both ends, thereby adapting to solar panel sizes of different widths and improving the gripping adaptability when unloading solar panels of different sizes.
[0033] When the suction cup 211 is used to adsorb and grasp the battery panel, it can generate a negative pressure adsorption force on the battery panel that is attached to the bottom surface of the suction cup 211 through the connection between the telescopic post 210 inside the suction cup 211 and the negative pressure tube 212, so as to maintain the gripping stability. The suction cup 211 itself can work with the telescopic post 210 and the spring 213 to buffer the moment of contact with the battery panel, and assist in the stable and flexible contact between the suction cup 211 and the battery panel. It can also work with the soft rubber head 215 of the clamping cylinder 214 to extend and press and clamp the battery panel on both sides of the frame. It can assist the adsorption and grasping process as needed, and improve stability while keeping the battery panel safe.
[0034] In summary, when using this unloading device, the main frame 1 first needs to be connected to the turnover support of the unloading process via the lifting cylinder frame 105 to form its own adjustable lifting process. During unloading, the main frame 1 is first positioned directly above the solar panel. Then, the lifting cylinder frame 105 drives the upper and lower stages, causing the three sets of suction cup gripping mechanisms 2 distributed on both sides of the main frame 1 to simultaneously make buffer contact with the surface of the solar panel. Subsequently, the negative pressure pump connected to the air pump frame 104 drives the negative pressure pipes 212 connected on both sides to generate suction force through the connected suction cups 211, creating negative pressure at the contact surface with the solar panel surface, forming an adsorption grip. Then, the entire main frame 1 is raised, and the connected turnover support moves the solar panel gripped by the main frame 1 to the top of the production line through roller movement or screw drive. The main frame 1 then lowers again to release the grip on the solar panel.
