Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module manufacturing, and in particular to a laminated frame loading and unloading system for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of double-glass modules, there is a critical step—lamination. During this process, because the silicone sealant covering the glass is a soft material, the glass is subjected to greater stress around its edges, which can easily lead to a thinner sealant film at the edges, resulting in reliability issues such as bubbles and breakage. Currently, to solve these problems, a rectangular frame made of aluminum alloy is typically used, with high-temperature PTFE cloth fixed inside, forming a "lamination frame" fixture to assist in the production of this step.

[0003] In traditional lamination frame operations, the placement before lamination and the removal after lamination are primarily done manually. However, this manual operation method has several problems: First, as photovoltaic module sizes continue to increase, the area of ​​the lamination frame also increases accordingly. Prolonged manual labor not only negatively impacts health but also contradicts the industry's cost-reduction trend by requiring multiple people to perform this task. Second, manual placement of the lamination frame easily leads to misalignment. If the frame presses onto the photovoltaic module during its journey through the production line to the lamination process, the module will be scrapped, resulting in significant economic losses. Furthermore, manual placement before and removal after lamination reduces production efficiency and increases production costs, severely hindering the increase in double-glass module production capacity and the further development of the industry.

There is at least one second conveying device 3, arranged on the front or rear side of the loading and unloading device, used for transferring laminate frames 5. The loading and unloading device 1 includes a mounting frame 101, multiple lifting mechanisms 102, a photovoltaic module conveying mechanism 103, a laminate frame conveying mechanism 104, and a straightening mechanism. The photovoltaic module conveying mechanism 103 is mounted on the mounting frame 101, and its conveying direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the first conveying device 2. The photovoltaic module conveying mechanism 103 is provided with a preset area 1 for assembling or disassembling photovoltaic modules and laminate frames. 07. First, the photovoltaic modules 4 are transported to the preset area 107 by the photovoltaic module conveying mechanism 103. Multiple lifting mechanisms 102 are respectively set on the mounting frame 101 and located on the left and right sides of the preset area 107. Each lifting mechanism 102 is equipped with a laminating frame conveying mechanism 104. The conveying direction of the laminating frame conveying mechanism 104 is consistent with the conveying direction of the second conveying device 3. The laminating frame 5 is transported to the preset area by the laminating frame conveying mechanism 104 and is located above the photovoltaic modules. The alignment mechanism is set on the mounting frame 101 and located around the preset area. It is used to adjust and align the photovoltaic modules and / or laminating frames that have been transferred to the preset area. The control unit is connected to the pick-and-place device 1, the first conveying device 2 and the second conveying device 3 respectively and is used to control the operation of each device.

[0025] The alignment mechanism includes multiple linear alignment wheels 105 and multiple rotary alignment wheels 106. The linear alignment wheels 105 are cylindrical wheels that run in a fixed straight line, and the rotary alignment wheels 106 are cylindrical wheels that rotate in a fixed direction. The multiple linear alignment wheels 105 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the preset area 107, and the multiple rotary alignment wheels 106 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the preset area 107. The multiple linear alignment wheels and multiple rotary alignment wheels adjust and align the photovoltaic modules and / or laminating frames that flow to the pick-and-place device, so as to facilitate the assembly or disassembly of the two.

[0026] The first conveying device 2 includes a first mounting frame 201, a first conveyor belt 202 disposed on the first mounting frame 201, and a first power source. The first power source and the first conveyor belt 202 are connected by a drive mechanism, and the first power source drives the first conveyor belt 202 to move the photovoltaic modules 4 placed on it. The second conveying device 3 includes a second mounting frame 301, a second conveyor belt 302 disposed on the second mounting frame 301, and a second power source.

[0027] The photovoltaic module conveying mechanism 103 includes a third conveyor belt and a third power source, which are connected in a driving manner. The laminated frame conveying mechanism 104 includes a fourth conveyor belt and a fourth power source, which are also connected in a driving manner.

[0028] The operation of placing the lamination frame before the lamination process using this utility model is as follows:

[0029] The semi-finished photovoltaic module 4 is transferred to the preset area 107 through the first conveying device 2. The photovoltaic module 4 is centered and positioned by the straight alignment wheel 105 and the rotary alignment wheel 106. All alignment wheels are then released.

[0030] The laminated frame 5 flows through the second conveying device 3 in another direction and is lifted by the lifting mechanism 102, thereby transferring the laminated frame 5 in the other direction to the top of the photovoltaic module 4. During this process, the photovoltaic module 4 remains stationary.

[0031] The control unit causes the lifting mechanism 102 to lower the lamination frame 5 to a height of 8mm above the photovoltaic module 5. Then, the straight alignment wheel 105 and the rotary alignment wheel 106 center and correct the lamination frame 5, and all alignment wheels are released.

[0032] The lamination frame 5 is lowered to its lowest position by the lifting mechanism 102 and placed on the photovoltaic module 4, thus completing the placement of the lamination frame 5.

[0033] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the operation of removing the lamination frame after the lamination process using this utility model is as follows:

[0034] After the lamination process is completed, the photovoltaic module 4 with the lamination frame 5 is transferred to the preset area 107 through the first conveying device 2. The photovoltaic module 4 with the lamination frame 5 is centered and positioned by the straight alignment wheel 105 and the rotary alignment wheel 106, and all alignment wheels are released.

[0035] The lifting mechanism 102 is raised by the control unit, thereby lifting the laminate frame 5 covering the photovoltaic module 4, and then the laminate frame conveying mechanism 104 conveys the laminate frame 5 to the second conveying device 3. The laminate frame flows to the previous laminate frame placement process, thereby forming an automatic cycle.

[0036] The lifting mechanism 102 descends to its lowest position, at which point the laminate frame 5 is retrieved, and then the photovoltaic module 4 is transferred to the next process via the first conveying device 2.
