Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pad collection technology, and in particular to an automatic pad collection mechanism for feeding frame parts. Background Technology

[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) frame is the outer framework of a solar panel. The main purpose of this frame is to provide structural support. Before the raw materials for the PV frame are processed on a machine tool, they need to be transported to the machine tool via a conveyor system, which reduces labor costs.

[0003] Some existing photovoltaic frame conveying mechanisms place multiple frame components on a pad strip, and then use a gantry crane with a feeding claw to pick up the bottom pad strip and convey the multiple frame components on the pad strip to a designated area. However, after the existing pad strip frame components are conveyed, the pad strip still needs to be manually collected and processed, which not only consumes labor costs, but also affects the collection efficiency of the pad strip.

[0004] Therefore, we provide an automatic collection mechanism for padding strips used in edge component feeding to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic collection mechanism for padding strips used for feeding frame parts, so as to overcome the defects in the prior art.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, this utility model provides an automatic collection mechanism for pads used in edge component feeding, including a receiving slide. A conveyor belt is rotatably mounted on the receiving slide, and multiple pads are placed on the conveyor belt. Two collection seats are symmetrically arranged at one end of the receiving slide. Each collection seat is equipped with a vertical baffle, a horizontal baffle, and a guide plate. The conveyor belt of the receiving slide rotates, causing the multiple pads to move towards the collection seats. After being guided by the guide plate, the multiple pads are confined and gathered onto the collection seats by the vertical baffle and the horizontal baffle.

[0009] The second gantry frame is located at one end of the receiving slide table near the collecting seat. A lifting frame is slidably connected to the second gantry frame. A clamping component that cooperates with the pad strip on the collecting seat is provided on the lifting frame.

[0010] The clamping assembly includes symmetrically arranged frames at both ends of the lifting frame. Each frame has a guide rail and a cylinder at its lower end. A second slide, connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, is slidably connected to the guide rail. A plug is connected to the second slide. The lifting frame lowers the clamping assembly to the collecting seat, aligning the plug with the slot of the pad on the collecting seat. The telescopic ends of the two cylinders respectively drive the second slide to move relative to each other, so that the plug is inserted into the slot of the pad. The lifting frame then rises to wait for the collecting seat to collect subsequent pads. Once the collecting seat is full... After a row of pad strips, the lifting frame descends, allowing the pad strips clamped by the first batch to sit on the second batch of pad strips. After the cylinder drives the plug to disengage from the first batch of pad strips, the lifting frame continues to descend, aligning the plug with the second batch of pad strips. The cylinder then drives the plug to insert into the groove of the second batch of pad strips, and the lifting frame rises again. The collecting seat continues to collect the third batch of pad strips, and the buffer plate clamps the pad strips. The above operation is repeated until the clamping assembly clamps several batches of pad strips. Then, the first slide on the second gantry moves the lifting frame to the unloading station to unload the multiple batches of pad strips.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second gantry is provided with a first slide rail, the first slide rail is slidably connected to a first slide block, the first slide block is connected to a first reduction motor, the first slide rail is provided with a ruler strip, and the output end of the first reduction motor is connected to a ruler wheel that cooperates with the ruler strip.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first slide is slidably connected to the second slide, the lifting frame is fixedly connected to the second slide, and the lifting frame is arranged in a V-shape.

[0013] In some embodiments, a helical rack is provided on the second slide, a second geared motor is fixedly connected to the first slide, and a helical gear that cooperates with the helical rack is connected to the output end of the second geared motor.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cylinder is placed in the hollow part of the frame, and the guide rail is located at the lower end of the frame.

[0015] In some embodiments, the two ends of the second slide are slidably connected to the guide rail, and the middle end of the second slide is provided with a connecting part that cooperates with the telescopic end of the cylinder.

[0016] In some embodiments, a connecting frame is connected to the lower end of the second carriage, and the connecting frame is arranged in an inverted L-shape on the second carriage.

[0017] In some embodiments, a plurality of buffer plates are arranged at equal intervals on the connecting frame, and the plug is located at one end of the buffer plate. The buffer plate and the plug are arranged in an L-shape on the connecting frame.

[0018] In some embodiments, a second feeding slide is provided above the receiving slide, a first feeding slide is provided on one side of the second feeding slide, a first gantry frame is provided above the first feeding slide, and the first gantry frame is connected to a feeding clamp via a first carriage.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first carriage, in conjunction with the feeding gripper, transports the pad and material from the first feeding slide to the second feeding slide, so that the material falls onto the second feeding slide and the pad falls onto the receiving slide.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the automatic collection mechanism for padding strips used in edge component feeding provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. This utility model has two collection seats symmetrically arranged at one end of the receiving slide. Each collection seat is equipped with a vertical baffle, a horizontal baffle, and a guide plate. When the conveyor belt of the receiving slide is running, multiple pads move towards the collection seat. After being guided by the guide plate, the multiple pads are limited and concentrated on the collection seat by the vertical baffle and the horizontal baffle, which facilitates the subsequent clamping operation of the clamping assembly on the pads.

[0023] 2. In this invention, the clamping assembly is lowered to the collecting seat by a lifting frame, aligning the plug with the slot of the pad on the collecting seat. The extension and retraction ends of the two cylinders respectively drive the second slide to move relative to each other. After the plug is inserted into the slot of the pad, the lifting frame rises to wait for the collecting seat to collect subsequent batches of pads. Once the collecting seat is full of one batch of pads, the lifting frame lowers so that the first batch of clamped pads sits on the second batch. The cylinder drives the plug to disengage from the first batch of pads, and the lifting frame continues to lower, aligning the plug with the second batch of pads. After the cylinder drives the plug head to insert into the slot of the second batch of pad strips, the lifting frame rises again, and the collecting seat continues to collect the third batch of pad strips. The buffer plate clamps the stacked pad strips. The above operation is repeated until the clamping component has clamped several batches of pad strips. Then, the first slide on the second gantry moves the lifting frame to the unloading station to unload multiple batches of pad strips, completing the pad strip collection operation. The entire pad strip collection work is simple, efficient and automated, without complicated process operations. There is no need for manual collection and placement of pad strips, saving manpower while improving the efficiency of pad strip collection. Attached Figure Description
