AI Technical Summary
In existing laminators, the flanges are fixed in the laminator by hooks. After long-term use, they are prone to loosening and deviation, which affects the vacuum level of the laminator.
An anti-deviation fixture is used to suspend the flange below the top cover. The flange is fixed by a detachable clamp and bolts instead of hooks to prevent deviation.
It effectively prevents the flange from loosening during long-term use, maintains a stable vacuum level in the laminator, and avoids the formation of air bubbles.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module production equipment technology, specifically to a laminator. Background Technology
[0002] Lamination is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules. It involves transporting the stacked modules to a laminator, where, based on the melting and cross-linking properties of EVA / POE after continuous heating, air is extracted from the modules, and then the EVA / POE is heated to melt and bond the cells, glass, and backsheet together.
[0003] The laminator is an important piece of equipment for lamination. A laminator generally consists of an upper chamber and a lower chamber, which are separated by a silicone plate fastened to a flange. The offset of the flange affects the vacuum level of the upper and lower chambers of the laminator, which has a significant impact on whether bubbles are produced after the photovoltaic modules are laminated.
[0004] Currently, flanges are usually fixed in the laminator by hooks. After prolonged use, the hooks are prone to loosening, which can cause the flange to shift, leading to the displacement of the silicone plate and a decrease in the lamination vacuum of the laminator. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a laminator that uses anti-deviation fixtures to fix the flange to the upper chamber, thereby solving the problem in the prior art where hooks easily loosen after long-term use, leading to flange deviation.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a laminator, including an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a silicone plate fixed on a flange and disposed between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The upper chamber includes a top cover. The laminator also includes multiple anti-deviation fixtures. The flange is detachably connected to the top cover through the multiple anti-deviation fixtures and suspended below the top cover. The anti-deviation fixture includes a connecting plate. The upper end of the connecting plate has a clamping part. The clamping part is detachably connected to the top cover by bolts. The lower end of the connecting plate is provided with multiple connecting holes, and is connected to the flange by bolts passing through the connecting holes.
[0007] In some embodiments, the clamping part includes an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate arranged opposite each other. The upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate are vertically fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate. The upper clamping plate, the connecting plate, and the lower clamping plate constitute a clamping space for clamping the upper cover.
[0008] In some embodiments, the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate are provided with at least one fastening hole respectively, and the upper clamping plate, the upper cover and the lower clamping plate are fixed together by bolts passing through the fastening holes.
[0009] In some embodiments, the fastening hole is a circular through hole with a diameter of 8 mm.
[0010] In some embodiments, the connecting plate, the upper clamping plate, and the lower clamping plate are all steel plates, and the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate are fixed to the connecting plate by welding.
[0011] In some embodiments, the connecting hole is a circular through hole with a diameter of 8 mm.
[0012] A laminator includes an upper chamber, a lower chamber, a silicone plate fixed to a flange and disposed between the upper chamber and the lower chamber, and a plurality of the aforementioned anti-deviation fixtures. The upper chamber includes a top cover, and the flange is detachably connected to the top cover via the plurality of the anti-deviation fixtures and suspended below the top cover.
[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0014] This utility model uses an anti-deviation fixture to suspend the flange below the top cover. The anti-deviation fixture has a clamping part that can be detachably connected to the top cover and a connection hole that is connected to the flange by bolts. By using the anti-deviation fixture to replace the hook flange in the laminator, the problem of the hook easily loosening after long-term use and causing the flange to deviate is solved.
