Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clamping device for removing the frame of a photovoltaic panel, belonging to the field of photovoltaic panel recycling technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of photovoltaic panel recycling, it is necessary to remove the parts other than the photovoltaic panel itself to achieve maximum waste utilization. During removal, a clamping device is needed to hold the photovoltaic panel in place. Considering that photovoltaic panels are mainly composed of glass, the stability of the clamping device directly affects the integrity of the photovoltaic panel and the recycling efficiency. Currently, the photovoltaic panel recycling process mostly uses outdated mechanical structures that require manual operation. This manual intervention introduces discontinuity into the recycling process, reducing efficiency. An automated clamping device ensures continuous recycling and avoids damage to the photovoltaic panel due to improper operation. Furthermore, existing devices for removing photovoltaic panel frames are bulky and use linear guides, resulting in linear movement of the removal mechanism. This significantly reduces the removal efficiency when dealing with irregularly shaped photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

The driving mechanism is located at the bottom of the clamping device, and the clamping mechanism is installed directly above the driving mechanism by bolts. With the help of the driving mechanism, the clamping mechanism can fix the photovoltaic panel, effectively solving the problems of low photovoltaic panel recycling efficiency and poor processing quality. On the other hand, the clamping mechanism can help remove the aluminum frame from the photovoltaic panel. When the photovoltaic panel is removed from the aluminum frame, it may get stuck in the clamping mechanism for some reason. The cylinder in the clamping mechanism will push the aluminum frame to make it detach, which greatly improves the recycling efficiency, solves the problem of equipment jamming, and enables autonomous material unloading.

[0042] The clamping device for removing the frame of the photovoltaic panel can use an infrared sensor to determine whether the photovoltaic panel has entered the clamping device. When the infrared sensor detects the photovoltaic panel, the clamping mechanism will work under the drive of the power drive mechanism, ensuring the continuity of the photovoltaic panel recycling process and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0053] The clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on the driving mechanism 1, which is the power source for the entire clamping mechanism 2. Under the action of the driving mechanism 2, the clamping mechanism 2 can fix the photovoltaic panel.

[0054] A cylinder seat 12 is fixedly mounted on one end of a fixed base plate 114, and a first cylinder 11 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder seat 12. Guide rails 18 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixed base plate 114. Two first sliders 113 and two second sliders 19 are respectively matched to the ends of the guide rails 18. The two sides of an upper gripper fixing plate 14 are fixedly mounted on the two first sliders 113, and the two sides of a lower gripper fixing plate 17 are fixedly mounted on the two second sliders 19. A slot is provided at the top of the upper gripper fixing plate 14. The output end of the first cylinder 11 passes through the cylinder seat 12 and connects to a floating head 13. The floating head 13 and the slot are fitted together to fix the upper gripper fixing plate 14 to the floating head 13, transmitting the power of the first cylinder 11 to the upper gripper fixing plate 14. The two first sliders 113 and two second sliders 19 are symmetrically distributed on the two guide rails 18. The four sliders are movably connected to the guide rails via sliding joints, achieving smooth movement during transmission.

[0055] The first rack 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the upper jaw fixing plate 14, and the second rack 112 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the lower jaw fixing plate 17. The first rack 15 is located on one side of the fixed base plate, and the second rack 112 is located on the other side of the fixed base plate, with the first rack 15 and the second rack 112 arranged opposite to each other. A transmission wheel 16 is rotatably mounted on the fixed base plate 114, between the first rack 15 and the second rack 112. One end of the bearing 116 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 114 by bolts, and the other end is mounted on the fixed base plate 114. The rotating shaft 115 and the bearing 116 are fixedly engaged by washers, allowing the transmission wheel 16 to be rotatably mounted on the fixed base plate 114. The first rack 15 and the second rack 112 are matched with the transmission wheel 16, and the first rack 15 transmits kinetic energy to the second rack 112 through its engagement with the transmission wheel 16, realizing the conversion of power into effective mechanical energy. The first cylinder 11, the floating head 13, the upper jaw fixing plate 14, the first rack 15, the second rack 112, and the lower jaw fixing plate 17 constitute a complete kinematic chain.

[0056] The guide plate 111 is fixedly installed on the other side of the fixed base plate 114. An inclined rod 110 is provided on the guide plate 111. The inclined rod 110 is inclined on the guide plate 111 and forms an angle with the guide plate 111.

[0057] The upper gripper 25 has an inverted L-shaped structure, including a top plate and a side plate. One end of the top plate is fixedly mounted to the upper gripper fixing plate 14. A push plate hole is provided on the top plate. The top of the second cylinder 21 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the cylinder seat 12. The output end of the second cylinder 21 passes through the push plate hole and is fixedly connected to the push plate 211, so that the push plate 211 can move up and down along the push plate hole.

[0058] Two upper gripper ribs 22 are fixedly mounted on the top plate of the upper gripper 25 and located on both sides of the second cylinder, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the upper gripper 25. The photoelectric frame 23 has the same structure as the upper gripper, being an inverted L-shaped structure. One end of each photoelectric frame 23 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the top plate, while the other end is spaced apart from the side panel. Two infrared sensors 24 are fixedly mounted on the side of the photoelectric frame 23 facing the side panel. The two photoelectric frames 23 are symmetrically arranged on the upper gripper, enabling the clamping mechanism 2 to detect the presence of a photovoltaic panel.

[0059] The lower gripper 27 is fixedly mounted on the lower gripper fixing plate 17, and two lower gripper ribs 28 are respectively fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the lower gripper 27, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the lower gripper 27. One end of the floating plate 26 is fixedly mounted at the middle position of the top of the lower gripper 27, and the lower part of the floating plate 26 is fixedly connected to the lower gripper fixing plate 17. The top plate of the upper gripper 25 has a notch 251 opened at the middle position on the side facing the fixed base plate 114, and the other end of the floating plate 26 is matched with the notch, allowing it to move up and down within the notch. The up and down movement of the lower gripper 27 drives the other end of the floating plate 26 to move up and down along the notch, making the upper gripper 25 and the lower gripper 27 more stable during the closing process.

[0060] Working process: During operation, the infrared sensor 24 on the clamping mechanism 2 detects whether the photovoltaic panel has entered the clamping device. When the photovoltaic panel is detected, the first cylinder 11 on the drive mechanism 1 pushes the floating head 13. The floating head 13 transmits power to the upper jaw fixing plate 14, which in turn moves the upper jaw 25. Simultaneously, the first rack 15 located below the upper jaw fixing plate 14 meshes with the transmission wheel 16, causing the transmission wheel 16 to rotate on the bearing 116. Then, the transmission wheel 16 meshes with the second rack 22, achieving synchronous transmission between the first rack 15, the transmission wheel 16, and the second rack 112. The second rack 112 is fixed below the lower jaw fixing plate 17, and the lower jaw 27 is fixedly mounted on the lower jaw fixing plate 17. Overall, the upper jaw 25 and the lower jaw 27 move in opposite directions on the same horizontal line under the push of the first cylinder 11. The upper jaw 25 moves downward and the lower jaw 27 moves upward. When both the upper jaw 25 and the lower jaw 27 contact the photovoltaic panel, the photovoltaic panel is clamped. After clamping the photovoltaic panel, the corresponding mechanism separates the aluminum frame from the photovoltaic panel. During the separation process, due to external factors, the aluminum frame adheres to the photovoltaic panel, causing material blockage and preventing automatic material removal. To overcome this problem, an auxiliary aluminum frame removal mechanism is added to the upper jaw 25 in the clamping mechanism 2. After the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic panel is separated, the second cylinder 21 pushes the push plate 211. The push plate 211 passes through the push plate hole of the upper jaw 25 to further squeeze the photovoltaic panel, causing the photovoltaic panel to completely separate from the aluminum frame. After completion, the first cylinder 11 outputs the opposite driving force, causing the upper jaw 25 and the lower jaw 27 to move in opposite directions and gradually move away. The aluminum frame flows out along the inclined rod 110 set on the fixed base plate 114, completing the entire process.

[0061] In this device, the clamping mechanism, with the assistance of the drive mechanism, secures the photovoltaic panel, effectively solving the problems of low photovoltaic panel recycling efficiency and poor processing quality. On the other hand, the clamping mechanism can help remove the aluminum frame from the photovoltaic panel. When the photovoltaic panel is removing the aluminum frame, it may get stuck in the clamping mechanism for some reason. The cylinder in the clamping mechanism will push the aluminum frame to make it detach, which greatly improves the recycling efficiency, solves the problem of equipment jamming, and enables autonomous material unloading.

[0062] The clamping device for removing the frame of the photovoltaic panel can use an infrared sensor to determine whether the photovoltaic panel has entered the clamping device. When the infrared sensor detects the photovoltaic panel, the clamping mechanism will work under the drive of the power drive mechanism, ensuring the continuity of the photovoltaic panel recycling process and greatly improving work efficiency.

They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made.
