Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a secondary trimming device for photovoltaic modules, including a working plate 1 and a grinding mechanism 6 for grinding the photovoltaic modules. A support frame 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the working plate 1. Multiple sets of clearance grooves 3 are opened on the surface of the working plate 1. A positioning mechanism 4 for positioning the photovoltaic modules is provided on the working plate 1 and at the position corresponding to the clearance grooves 3. A moving mechanism 5 for driving the grinding mechanism 6 to move in three axes is provided at the top of the working plate 1. The grinding mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the moving mechanism 5.

[0019] After the photovoltaic modules requiring edge trimming are placed, the positioning mechanism 4 extends upward through the clearance groove 3 to fix the position of the photovoltaic modules. Then, the moving mechanism 5 drives the grinding mechanism 6 to move in three axes. The grinding mechanism 6 then grinds and trims the edge of the photovoltaic modules to prevent misalignment during edge trimming.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The positioning mechanism 4 includes a limiting slide bar 7, a moving plate 8, a driving cylinder 9, an adjusting groove 10, a mounting plate 11, and a threaded rod 13. Multiple sets of limiting slide bars 7 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the working plate 1. The moving plate 8 is slidably connected to the limiting slide bar 7. The driving cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 8, and its output end is fixedly connected to the working plate 1. Multiple sets of adjusting grooves 10 are formed through the moving plate 8 at positions corresponding to the clearance groove 3. Two sets of threaded rods 13 inserted into the adjusting grooves 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 11. Locking nuts 14 are threadedly connected to the external threads of the threaded rods 13. A positioning block 12 with one side inclined is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 11 at a position corresponding to the clearance groove 3. Multiple sets of fixing blocks 25 are fixedly installed on the top of the working plate 1, and ball bearings 26 are rotatably connected to the top of the fixing blocks 25.

[0021] The photovoltaic module to be processed is placed above the ball bearing 26, and then the driving cylinder 9 is operated. The driving cylinder 9 drives the moving plate 8 to move upward along the limit slide bar 7. Then, the photovoltaic module can be positioned by the positioning block 12 set on one side at an angle. When the photovoltaic module moves, it can be quickly driven to move by the rotating ball bearing 26. When it is necessary to position photovoltaic modules of different specifications, the locking nut 14 can be unscrewed and the position of the threaded rod 13 inside the adjustment groove 10 can be adjusted. Thus, the positioning block 12 can be used to position photovoltaic modules of different specifications.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The moving mechanism 5 includes a first electric slide rail 15, a first electric slider 16, a gantry frame 17, a second electric slider 19, and a third electric slide rail 20. Two sets of first electric slide rails 15 arranged in the "X" axis direction are fixedly installed on the top of the working plate 1. The gantry frame 17 is slidably connected to the first electric slide rail 15 through the first electric slider 16. A second electric slide rail 18 arranged in the "Y" axis direction is fixedly installed on one side of the gantry frame 17. A third electric slide rail 20 arranged in the "Z" axis direction is slidably connected to one side of the second electric slide rail 18 through the second electric slider 19. A third electric slider 21 is slidably connected to one side of the third electric slide rail 20.

[0023] The first electric slide rail 15, the second electric slide rail 18 and the third electric slide rail 20 can drive the first electric slider 16, the second electric slider 19 and the third electric slider 21 to move in three axes, which can drive the grinding mechanism 6 to move in three axes to grind and trim.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The grinding mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 22, a drive motor 23, and a grinding block 24.

The output end of the drive motor 23 is fixedly connected to the grinding block 24.

[0025] After the grinding mechanism 6 completes its movement according to the moving mechanism 5, the drive motor 23 operates, and then the drive motor 23 can drive the grinding block 24 to perform grinding and trimming on the photovoltaic module.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The positioning block 12 and the ball bearing 26 are both made of stainless steel. The stainless steel positioning block 12 and the ball bearing 26 can prevent contamination of the photovoltaic module when they come into contact with the photovoltaic module.

[0027] In use, firstly, after the photovoltaic modules requiring edge trimming are placed, the positioning mechanism 4 extends upward through the clearance groove 3, thus fixing the position of the photovoltaic modules. Then, the moving mechanism 5 drives the grinding mechanism 6 to move along three axes, grinding the edges of the photovoltaic modules to prevent misalignment. The photovoltaic modules to be processed are placed above the ball bearings 26, and then the driving cylinder 9 operates, moving the moving plate 8 upward along the limit slide rod 7. The photovoltaic modules are then positioned using the tilted positioning block 12. During the movement of the photovoltaic modules, the rotating ball bearings 26... The photovoltaic modules are moved quickly. When it is necessary to position photovoltaic modules of different specifications, the locking nut 14 can be unscrewed and the position of the threaded rod 13 inside the adjustment groove 10 can be adjusted. The positioning block 12 can then be used to position photovoltaic modules of different specifications. The first electric slide rail 15, the second electric slide rail 18 and the third electric slide rail 20 can drive the first electric slider 16, the second electric slider 19 and the third electric slider 21 to move in three axes. This can drive the grinding mechanism 6 to move in three axes to grind and trim. After the grinding mechanism 6 has moved according to the moving mechanism 5, the drive motor 23 operates. Then, the drive motor 23 can drive the grinding block 24 to grind and trim the photovoltaic modules.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
