Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic bracket technology, specifically a packaging rack for photovoltaic bracket production. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic brackets, as key components supporting solar panels, are used for placing, installing, and securing solar panels. Their production process generally involves uncoiling, forming, punching, cutting, and stacking steel strips. To facilitate subsequent transportation, the stacked photovoltaic brackets are often placed on a bundling machine for securing. This step is crucial to ensuring that the photovoltaic brackets do not scatter or get damaged during transport.
[0003] However, the current packaging and bundling process for photovoltaic (PV) brackets has significant shortcomings: traditional manual operation requires workers to move the stacked PV brackets onto a bundling machine and continuously push them along the machine during the bundling process to achieve multiple bundling points. This method not only has extremely low automation, severely restricting overall production efficiency and failing to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also poses a significant safety hazard to workers due to the weight and inertia of the PV brackets during handling and pushing. Existing technologies also use packing racks to assist in the operation, supporting and pushing the stacked PV brackets along the bundling machine to complete the bundling process. However, some packing racks have design flaws, with the baffles on their surfaces fixed to the main body of the packing rack by welding. This fixing method makes it impossible to adjust the position of the baffles according to the number and specifications of the PV brackets being stacked, greatly limiting the number of packages that the packing rack can handle and making it difficult to adapt to the needs of different production scales and product specifications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a packing rack for PV bracket production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a packaging rack for photovoltaic bracket production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A packaging rack for photovoltaic bracket production includes a support frame, a lifting frame movably disposed inside the support frame, and a height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the lifting frame on the support frame. A U-shaped platform is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting frame, and a conveying component is disposed on the U-shaped platform. A cavity is opened inside the U-shaped platform, and movable slots are equally distributed on both sides of the top and bottom of the cavity. A cross-shaped movable seat is slidably disposed on the inner wall of each movable slot. An installation column is fixedly installed on the top of each movable seat, and a stop post is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of each installation column. A width adjustment component for adjusting the distance between two adjacent movable seats is disposed on the U-shaped platform.
[0007] Furthermore, the width adjustment assembly includes a second bidirectional screw that is rotatably arranged at equal intervals on the U-shaped platform, and the second bidirectional screw passes through the cavity. Each movable seat is provided with a screw groove. Two adjacent movable seats are screwed to the outer walls of the same second bidirectional screw through the screw groove. One end of each second bidirectional screw is fixedly installed with a first double pulley, and a first transmission belt is connected to two adjacent first double pulleys. A first motor for driving one of the second bidirectional screws to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the movable seat has multiple grooves at the top and bottom near the corner, and pulleys are rotatably installed in each groove, with the pulleys sliding along the top and bottom inner walls of the cavity.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes mounting shafts rotatably arranged at equal intervals on the U-shaped platform, and conveying rollers are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the mounting shafts. The positions of the conveying rollers and the positions of the stop columns are staggered. A second double pulley is fixedly installed at one end of each mounting shaft, and a second transmission belt is connected to two adjacent second double pulleys. A second motor for driving one of the mounting shafts to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes a first bidirectional screw rotatably mounted on the support frame, and movable seats are screwed to both sides of the outer wall of the first bidirectional screw. Push frames are rotatably mounted on the top of the two movable seats and on both sides of the top inner wall of the lifting frame. A third motor for driving the first bidirectional screw to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the support frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom inner wall of the support frame is provided with a guide groove, and the bottom of each of the two movable seats is fixedly installed with a guide seat that slides in the guide groove.
[0012] Furthermore, multiple casters are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the support frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, a conveying assembly is installed, in which a second motor drives the mounting shaft and conveying rollers to rotate. Through the transmission of a second double pulley and a second transmission belt, multiple conveying rollers operate synchronously, automatically conveying the stacked photovoltaic brackets. This allows them to move on the packing rack for multiple bindings without manual pushing, effectively replacing traditional manual handling and pushing operations. This significantly reduces labor intensity, greatly improves the automation of the packing and binding process, and thus increases overall production efficiency. It meets the needs of large-scale production and avoids potential accidents caused by the weight and inertia of the photovoltaic brackets, greatly reducing the risk of injury to operators and significantly improving safety during operation, providing more reliable protection for the personal safety of operators.
[0015] In this invention, through the width adjustment component, the first motor drives the second bidirectional screw to rotate, and under the action of the first double pulley and the first transmission belt, the multiple second bidirectional screws rotate synchronously, thereby driving the adjacent movable seats to slide along the movable groove, realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the baffles. It can be adapted according to the stacking quantity and specifications of the photovoltaic bracket, breaking through the limitation of the traditional fixed baffles on the number of packages.
[0016] In this invention, a height adjustment mechanism is provided, and a third motor drives a first bidirectional screw to rotate, causing the moving seat to move under the guidance of the guide groove and the guide seat. Then, the height of the lifting frame and the U-shaped platform can be adjusted by pushing the frame, which can adapt to the needs of photovoltaic brackets or bundling machines of different heights, greatly improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a packaging rack for photovoltaic bracket production includes a support frame 1, a lifting frame 2 movably disposed inside the support frame 1, and a height adjustment mechanism 9 for adjusting the height of the lifting frame 2 is provided on the support frame 1. A U-shaped platform 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting frame 2, and a conveying component is provided on the U-shaped platform 6. A cavity 15 is opened inside the U-shaped platform 6, and movable grooves 16 are equally distributed on both sides of the top and bottom of the cavity 15. A cross-shaped movable seat 14 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of each movable groove 16. A mounting column 20 is fixedly installed on the top of each movable seat 14, and a stop post 8 is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of each mounting column 20. A width adjustment component for adjusting the distance between two adjacent movable seats 14 is provided on the U-shaped platform 6. The width adjustment component includes a second bidirectional screw that is rotatably disposed on the U-shaped platform 6 at equal distances. The rod 17, and the second bidirectional screw 17 passes through the cavity 15. Each movable seat 14 is provided with a screw groove. Two adjacent movable seats 14 are screwed to the outer walls of the same second bidirectional screw 17 through the screw groove. One end of each second bidirectional screw 17 is fixedly installed with a first double pulley 10, and two adjacent first double pulleys 10 are connected to a first transmission belt 11. One side of the outer wall of the U-shaped platform 6 is fixedly installed with a first motor 3 for driving one of the second bidirectional screws 17 to rotate. The first motor 3 drives one of the second bidirectional screws 17 to rotate. Through the transmission of the first double pulleys 10 and the first transmission belt 11, all the second bidirectional screws 17 rotate synchronously, adjusting the distance between adjacent movable seats 14, so that the distance between the stop posts 8 on the top mounting column 20 of the movable seat 14 also changes accordingly to adapt to photovoltaic brackets of different widths.
[0025] Specifically, the movable seat 14 has multiple grooves at the top and bottom near the corner, and pulleys 19 are rotatably installed in each groove. The pulleys 19 slide along the top and bottom inner walls of the cavity 15. The sliding of the pulleys 19 in the cavity 15 reduces the frictional resistance during the width adjustment process, making the width adjustment smoother and more stable.
[0026] Specifically, the conveying assembly includes mounting shafts 18 rotatably arranged at equal intervals on the U-shaped platform 6, and conveying rollers 7 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the mounting shafts 18. The positions of the conveying rollers 7 and the positions of the stop columns 8 are staggered. A second double pulley 12 is fixedly installed at one end of each mounting shaft 18, and a second transmission belt 13 is connected to two adjacent second double pulleys 12. A second motor 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped platform 6 to drive one of the mounting shafts 18 to rotate. The second motor 5 drives one of the mounting shafts 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of the second double pulleys 12 and the second transmission belt 13, all the mounting shafts 18 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the conveying rollers 7 to operate. This allows the photovoltaic brackets to be conveyed, making it convenient to put the stacked photovoltaic brackets into the bundling machine for bundling.
[0027] Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism 9 includes a first bidirectional screw 94 rotatably mounted on the support frame 1, and movable seats 92 are screwed onto both sides of the outer wall of the first bidirectional screw 94. Pushing frames 96 are rotatably mounted on the top of the two movable seats 92 and on both sides of the top inner wall of the lifting frame 2. A third motor 91 for driving the first bidirectional screw 94 to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the support frame 1. Both the third motor 91 and the first motor 3 are forward and reverse motors. A guide groove 95 is opened on the bottom inner wall of the support frame 1, and guide seats 93 that slide in the guide groove 95 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the two movable seats 92. The first bidirectional screw 94 is driven to rotate by the third motor 91, so that the movable seats 92 screwed onto both sides of its outer wall move towards or away from each other along the guide groove 95 through the guide seats 93, thereby driving the pushing frames 96 to move accordingly, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting frame 2 and the U-shaped platform 6, which can adapt to the needs of photovoltaic brackets or bundling machines of different heights.
[0028] Specifically, multiple casters 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 1, which facilitates the overall movement of the equipment and allows it to approach the baler.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the third motor 91 drives the first bidirectional screw 94 to rotate, so that the movable seats 92 screwed to both sides of its outer wall move in opposite directions or away from each other along the guide groove 95 through the guide seat 93. The push frame 96, which is rotatably connected to the top of the movable seat 92 and the inner wall of the top of the lifting frame 2, moves accordingly, adjusting the height of the lifting frame 2, thereby adjusting the height of the U-shaped platform 6, which can adapt to the needs of photovoltaic brackets or baling machines of different heights.
[0030] Next, the first motor 3 drives one of the second bidirectional screws 17 to rotate. Through the transmission of the first double pulley 10 and the first transmission belt 11, all the second bidirectional screws 17 rotate synchronously. The movable seats 14 screwed on both sides of the outer wall of the same second bidirectional screw 17 slide along the movable groove 16 in the cavity 15 to adjust the distance between adjacent movable seats 14. The distance between the stop posts 8 on the top mounting column 20 of the movable seat 14 also changes accordingly to adapt to photovoltaic brackets of different widths.
[0031] During the final conveying, the second motor 5 drives one of the mounting shafts 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of the second double pulley 12 and the second transmission belt 13, all mounting shafts 18 rotate synchronously. The conveying rollers 7 on the outer wall of the mounting shafts 18 rotate accordingly, conveying the photovoltaic brackets so that the stacked photovoltaic brackets enter the baling machine for baling.
[0032] 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.
