Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic bracket welding and feeding technology, specifically a feeding mechanism for a photovoltaic bracket welding table. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems are an important component of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, used to support and secure photovoltaic panels. PV mounting systems are typically made of metal materials, such as aluminum alloys or galvanized steel, to ensure corrosion resistance and structural strength. Welding is one of the commonly used connection techniques in the manufacture of PV mounting systems. In the welding process, shaped and cut metal strips are assembled and joined together using welding techniques to ensure the mounting structure is robust and stable.
[0003] In some photovoltaic (PV) bracket welding processes, it is necessary to manually load materials at the connection points between PV brackets before proceeding with the work. However, this method reduces overall work efficiency and does not meet current requirements. Therefore, we propose a material loading mechanism for PV bracket welding tables. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism for a photovoltaic bracket welding table, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the connection between photovoltaic brackets needs to be manually fed before the operation, but this operation method will reduce the overall work efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding mechanism for a photovoltaic bracket welding table, comprising a welding table and a feeding rack, wherein the feeding rack is movably disposed above the welding table, and the upper end face of the feeding rack is provided with sliding grooves on the front, back, left, and right sides, and symmetrical support frames are adjustable inside the sliding grooves, and a slot is provided at the top of each support frame, wherein a clamping plate is slidably connected to one side inside the slot, and a second threaded rod is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping plate through a rotating shaft, and one end of the second threaded rod is threaded through one side of the support frame and extends to the outside of the support frame.
[0006] Preferably, a drive groove is provided on both sides of the upper end of the welding platform. A first threaded rod is connected to the inside of one drive groove via a motor, and a sliding rod is fixedly provided inside the other drive groove.
[0007] Preferably, both sides of the bottom middle of the feeding rack are fixedly connected to connecting blocks that are slidably connected inside the drive groove. One side of the connecting block is threaded to the outer surface of the first threaded rod, and the other side of the connecting block is slidably connected to the outer surface of the slide rod.
[0008] Preferably, each of the support frames has movable slots on both sides near the bottom, and push rods that pass through the movable slots and extend to the outside of the support frame are slidably connected inside the movable slots on both sides.
[0009] Preferably, each of the two push rods has a groove on the side where they are close to each other, and a spring is fixedly connected between the inner wall of each groove and the inner wall of the movable groove.
[0010] Preferably, each of the two push rods has an L-shaped limiting rod fixedly connected to its bottom end on the side closest to each other. The bottom end of the limiting rod moves through the support frame and extends into the interior of the slide groove.
[0011] Preferably, each inner wall of the slide groove has several symmetrical limiting grooves at equal intervals on both sides, and the end of the limiting rod extending through the slide groove is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model involves pinching the push rods near the bottom of the support frame, causing both push rods to move towards the interior of the movable groove and compress the spring. This causes the two limiting rods to disengage from their current limiting grooves and move towards the side closer to each other into the interior of the movable groove. Then, the support frame slides along the slide groove. When the support frame moves to the appropriate position, the push rods are released, causing the springs to release their elastic force and pushing the push rods and limiting rods on both sides towards the side further away from each other until the limiting rods are engaged with the corresponding limiting grooves. This fixes the position of the support frame and allows for adjustment of the distance between the horizontal and vertical metal strips according to the size of the photovoltaic bracket.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, the two ends of the horizontal and vertical metal strips are respectively engaged in the slots at the upper end of the support frame. Then, the second threaded rod is rotated so that the thread of the second threaded rod passes through one side of the support frame and rotates on one side of the clamping plate through the rotating shaft. This pushes the clamping plate towards one side of the metal strip and, together with the side wall of the slot, limits and fixes the metal strip, thereby limiting and fixing the horizontal and vertical metal strips above the loading rack.
[0015] 3. This utility model drives the first threaded rod to rotate by starting the motor. While the first threaded rod rotates, the thread drives the connecting block on one side of the bottom of the feeding rack, which is equipped with transverse and longitudinal metal strips, to move along the outer surface of the slide bar toward the bottom of the welding machine. This enables the welding points of the transverse and longitudinal metal strips to be fed toward the bottom of the welding machine for operation, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a photovoltaic bracket welding table, including a welding table 1 and a feeding rack 5. The feeding rack 5 is movably disposed above the welding table 1. Slide grooves 501 are provided on the front, back, left, and right sides of the upper end face of the feeding rack 5. Symmetrical support frames 7 are adjustable inside each slide groove 501. A slot 701 is provided at the top of each support frame 7. A clamping plate 8 is slidably connected to one side of the slot 701. A second threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping plate 8 via a rotating shaft. The end thread passes through one side of the support frame 7 and extends to the outside of the support frame 7. The two ends of the transverse metal strip and the longitudinal metal strip are respectively engaged in the slot 701 at the upper end of the support frame 7. Then, the second threaded rod 9 is rotated so that the thread of the second threaded rod 9 passes through one side of the support frame 7 and rotates on one side of the clamping plate 8 through the rotating shaft. This pushes the clamping plate 8 to move towards one side of the metal strip and, together with the side wall of the slot 701, limits and fixes the metal strip, thereby limiting and fixing the transverse metal strip and the longitudinal metal strip above the feeding rack 5.
[0023] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, each support frame 7 has movable grooves 702 on both sides near the bottom. Push rods 10 that pass through the movable grooves 702 and extend to the outside of the support frame 7 are slidably connected inside the movable grooves 702. Grooves 1001 are provided on the side of the two push rods 10 that are close to each other. Springs 11 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two grooves 1001 and the inner walls of the movable grooves 702. Limiting rods 12 with an L-shape are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the side of the two push rods 10 that are close to each other. The bottom end of the limiting rods 12 movably passes through the support frame 7 and extends into the interior of the slide groove 501. Several symmetrical limiting grooves 502 are provided at equal intervals on both sides of the inner wall of each slide groove 501. The end of the limiting rod 12 that extends through into the interior of the slide groove 501 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 502.
[0024] In this embodiment, the push rods 10 near the bottom of the support frame 7 are pinched, causing both push rods 10 to move towards the interior of the movable groove 702 and compress the spring 11. This causes the two limiting rods 12 to disengage from the current limiting groove 502 and move towards the side closer to each other into the interior of the movable groove 702. Then, the support frame 7 slides along the slide groove 501. When the support frame 7 moves to the appropriate position, the push of the push rods 10 is released, causing the spring 11 to release its elastic force and push the push rods 10 and the limiting rods 12 on both sides towards the side further away from each other until the limiting rods 12 are inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 502, thereby fixing the position of the support frame 7.
[0025] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both sides of the upper end of the welding table 1 are provided with drive grooves 101. The first threaded rod 3 is connected to the inside of one drive groove 101 by a motor 2. The slide rod 4 is fixedly provided inside the other drive groove 101. The two sides of the bottom middle of the loading rack 5 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 6 that are slidably connected to the inside of the drive groove 101. One connecting block 6 is threaded to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 3, and the other connecting block 6 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the slide rod 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, the starting motor 2 drives the first threaded rod 3 to rotate. While the first threaded rod 3 rotates, the thread drives the connecting block 6 on one side of the bottom end of the feeding rack 5 to move along the outer surface of the slide rod 4 toward the bottom end of the welding machine. This enables the welding points of the transverse and longitudinal metal strips to be fed toward the bottom end of the welding machine, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.
[0027] When using the feeding mechanism of the photovoltaic bracket welding table, by pinching the push rods 10 near the bottom of the support frame 7, both push rods 10 move towards the interior of the movable groove 702, compressing the spring 11, which in turn drives the two limiting rods 12 to disengage from the current limiting groove 502 and move towards the side closer to each other into the interior of the movable groove 702. Then, the support frame 7 slides along the slide groove 501. When the support frame 7 moves to the appropriate position, the push on the push rods 10 is released, which releases the elastic force of the spring 11 and pushes the push rods 10 and the limiting rods 12 on both sides towards the side further away from each other until the limiting rods 12 are inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 502, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the support frame 7, and can adjust the position distance between the horizontal metal strips and the vertical metal strips according to the size of the photovoltaic bracket.
[0028] Then, the two ends of the transverse metal strip and the longitudinal metal strip are respectively clamped into the slots 701 at the upper end of the support frame 7. Next, the second threaded rod 9 is rotated so that the thread of the second threaded rod 9 passes through one side of the support frame 7 and rotates on one side of the clamping plate 8 through the rotating shaft, thereby pushing the clamping plate 8 to move towards one side of the metal strip, and cooperating with the side wall of the slot 701 to limit and fix the metal strip, thereby limiting and fixing the transverse metal strip and the longitudinal metal strip above the loading rack 5.
[0029] After the horizontal and vertical metal strips are fixed, the starting motor 2 drives the first threaded rod 3 to rotate. At the same time as the first threaded rod 3 rotates, the thread drives the connecting block 6 on one side of the bottom of the feeding rack 5 to move along the outer surface of the slide rod 4 toward the bottom of the welding machine. This enables the welding points of the horizontal and vertical metal strips to be fed toward the bottom of the welding machine, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.
[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
