[0033] The following is combined Figures 1-3 This application describes a wire-removing box 8 device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, according to a first aspect of this application, a wire scraper 8 device is provided, comprising: a base 1, a motion mechanism 2, and a scraper mechanism 3; the base 1 has a bearing surface 11; the motion mechanism 2 is disposed on the base 1 and has three degrees of freedom relative to the base 1; the scraper mechanism 3 includes a scraper 31, a connector 32, and a pusher 33, the connector 32 is disposed on the motion mechanism 2, the scraper 31 and the pusher 33 are respectively disposed on the connector 32, and the pusher 33 is located on one side of the scraper 31.
[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the wire box 8 device has a base 1 for supporting the various mechanisms of the entire device, and it is provided with a bearing surface 11 for supporting the photovoltaic modules. The motion mechanism 2 is a three-degree-of-freedom motion mechanism 2, and its motion direction is referenced to... Figure 1 The X, Y, and Z directions shown enable the scraper 31, connected to the motion mechanism 2 via the connector 32, to move along the motion mechanism 2 in these three directions. This allows the scraper 31 to move to the appropriate position of the junction box 8 when the photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel 7 is on the bearing surface 11. By moving along one of these directions, the scraper 31 removes the junction box 8 from the photovoltaic panel 7. Simultaneously, the pusher 33, located on one side of the scraper 31 and on the connector 32, pushes the junction box 8 to the set position on the bearing surface 11 after the scraper 31 removes it. The scraping action of the scraper 31, combined with the pusher 33's collection action, improves the automation of the entire junction box 8 disassembly process, thereby increasing the disassembly efficiency of the junction box 8.
[0036] In practical applications, multiple junction boxes 8 are typically installed on the photovoltaic panel 7. These multiple junction boxes 8 are usually arranged on the photovoltaic panel 7 as follows: Figure 3 The three-way junction box 8 can be arranged close to the center line of the photovoltaic panel 7, as shown in the diagram. Figure 3 As shown in (a), or the three-boundary box 8 can be arranged close to the edge of the photovoltaic panel 7, such as... Figure 3 As shown in (c), the single junction box 8 can be positioned away from the edge of the photovoltaic panel 7, such as... Figure 3As shown in (b) of the diagram.
[0037] In existing technologies, some junction box dismantling devices use two scrapers 31 moving relative to each other to dismantle a single junction box 8, but this method is less efficient for dismantling three- or multiple junction boxes 8. This application, however, uses only one scraper 31, which moves towards one side of the bearing surface 11 to sequentially and continuously remove three- or multiple junction boxes 8, thus improving the efficiency of removing multiple junction boxes 8. Simultaneously, the pusher 33 allows the removed junction boxes 8 to be collected on one side of the bearing surface 11, improving the automation and efficiency of the entire dismantling process and reducing the recycling cost of photovoltaic modules. The specific structure of the pusher 33 can be designed according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the motion mechanism 2 can drive the scraper 31 to move toward one side of the bearing surface 11 to scrape off the wire box 8, and the pusher 33 is used to move the scraped wire box 8 toward the same side of the bearing surface 11.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, when removing the wire box 8, the scraper 31 is driven by the motion mechanism 2 to move towards one side of the bearing surface 11. This improves the removal efficiency when disassembling multiple wire boxes 8 and allows the removed wire boxes 8 to be directly collected on one side of the bearing surface 11 by the pusher 33. The scraper 31 typically moves from the location of the wire box 8 towards one edge of the bearing surface 11. The device for collecting the wire boxes 8 is located on one side of the bearing surface 11, allowing the scraper 31 to move to the edge to disassemble multiple wire boxes 8 sequentially. The pusher 33 then pushes all the disassembled wire boxes 8 into the device for collecting them, improving the removal and collection efficiency of the wire boxes 8.
[0040] In one embodiment, the junction box 8 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the scraper 31 can be moved along the X, Y, and Z directions by the motion mechanism 2 to a position opposite to the wire box 8 on the right side. Then, the motion mechanism 2 drives the scraper 31 to move along the X direction to the left side of the bearing surface 11, thus removing the wire box 8. Simultaneously, the pusher 33 located on the right side of the scraper 31 ensures that the removed wire box 8 moves with the scraper mechanism 3 to the left side of the bearing surface 11 for collection. The X, Y, and Z directions include both positive and negative directions. The motion mechanism 2 can be implemented using multiple linear motion mechanisms 2, or it can be implemented using a multi-degree-of-freedom motion mechanism 2 such as a robotic arm; no limitation is made here.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the push box component 33 is a U-shaped push plate with its opening facing the scraper 31.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pusher 33 is configured as a U-shaped pusher plate, ensuring that after the scraper 31 removes one or more wire boxes 8, all wire boxes 8 can be accommodated in the groove of the pusher plate, thus improving the reliability of collecting the wire boxes 8. Simultaneously, the U-shaped pusher plate structure is simple, has minimal impact on the overall size of the scraper mechanism 3, and has low manufacturing costs. In practical applications, the pusher plate is typically positioned on one side of the opposite end of the blade of the scraper 31, so that the scraper 31 scrapes the wire boxes 8 in front, and the pusher plate collects the wire boxes 8 from behind.
[0043] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the shovel mechanism 3 also includes a rotary drive 34, which is connected to the shovel 31. The shovel 31 is rotatably mounted on the connector 32, and the extension direction of its rotating shaft 35 does not intersect with the bearing surface 11. The rotary drive 34 is used to drive the shovel 31 to rotate around the rotating shaft 35, so that the shovel 31 and the bearing surface 11 form a set angle.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scraper 31 can rotate relative to the bearing surface 11 at a set angle by the drive of the rotary drive 34. This adjusts the angle between the scraper 31 and the scraping surface, and increases the slope of the scraper 31 to ensure the wire box 8 can fall off, preventing it from getting stuck on the upper surface of the scraper 31 and further ensuring efficient disassembly. The set angle is typically between 0° and 5°, referring to the angle between the bottom surface of the scraper 31 and the bearing surface 11 (scraping surface). The rotary drive 34 can be implemented using a cylinder or electric cylinder, etc.
[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, connector 32 is a T-shaped connecting plate, and blade 31 is a slanted blade blade 31.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 32 is configured as a T-shaped connecting plate. The T-shaped connecting plate is inverted, with the vertical plate connected to the motion mechanism 2. One end of the horizontal plate is suspended by a pivot 35, allowing the scraper 31 to rotate around the pivot 35. The other end is connected to the non-blade end of the scraper 31 via a cylinder, enabling the entire scraper 31 to be movably connected to the connector 32. The movement of the cylinder allows a set angle to be formed between the bottom surface of the scraper 31 and the bearing surface 11. This structure is simple and has a low cost. The blade of the scraper 31 is beveled to facilitate faster removal of the junction box 8, improving the reliability of the scraper 31.
[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the motion mechanism 2 includes a first motion module 21, a second motion module 22, and a third motion module 23. One of the motion modules enables the shovel mechanism 3 to move toward one side of the bearing surface 11. The first motion module 21 is disposed on the base 1, the second motion module 22 is disposed on the first motion module 21, the third motion module 23 is disposed on the second motion module 22, and the connecting member 32 is disposed on the third motion module 23.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the motion mechanism 2 includes three motion modules. The three motion modules can be linear mechanisms that move along the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, respectively. Each linear mechanism can be implemented by a motor plus a lead screw. The motion modules can also be implemented by the cooperation of slide rails and sliders, which is not limited here.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the first motion module 21 can move the scraper mechanism 3 along the first direction (Y direction), and the second motion module 22 can move the scraper mechanism 3 along the second direction (X direction) and the third direction (Z direction). This allows the motion mechanism 2 to move the scraper 31 to one side of the junction box 8, regardless of its location on the photovoltaic panel 7. By moving the scraper 31 towards the direction of its blade, the junction box 8 can be removed. The second motion module 22 can be a gantry type with dual linear motion or a non-gantry type with single linear motion; no limitation is made here.
[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wire shovel box 8 device also includes a clamping mechanism 4, which includes a clamping drive and a clamping component. The clamping drive is disposed on the base 1 and connected to the clamping component, and is used to drive the clamping component to move closer to or away from the bearing surface 11.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 4 is used to fix the photovoltaic module on the bearing surface 11, so that the photovoltaic panel 7 or photovoltaic module cannot move relative to the base 1, so that the scraper 31 can remove the junction box 8 on it. When the clamping drive drives the clamping member closer to the bearing surface 11, the clamping member can press the photovoltaic module onto the bearing surface 11, so that the scraper 31 can remove the junction box 8. After the junction box 8 is removed, the clamping drive drives the clamping member away from the bearing surface 11, so that the next photovoltaic module can move to the bearing surface 11.
[0052] In the above embodiments, the photovoltaic modules can be placed directly on the bearing surface 11, or they can be placed on the bearing surface 11 via a conveyor such as a belt; there are no restrictions. Furthermore, the clamping member must be positioned to avoid the junction box 8 on the photovoltaic module. The position of the junction box 8 can be determined in advance using a visual positioning system, so that the clamping mechanism 4 and the motion mechanism 2 can drive the clamping member and the scraper 31 to move according to the position of the junction box 8.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping element includes at least one pressure bar 41.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping component can be implemented using a clamping rod 41. The clamping rod 41 can be one or two rods. When only one rod is used, it can clamp the photovoltaic panel 7 at a position slightly off-center from the center line to avoid the junction box 8 at the center line, while providing a relatively uniform clamping force to the photovoltaic panel 7. When there are two clamping rods 41, they can clamp the photovoltaic panel 7 at positions near both ends, avoiding the junction box 8, further increasing the clamping force on the photovoltaic panel 7, facilitating the scraper 31 to scrape the junction box 8, and preventing slippage.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shovel box 8 device also includes a conveying mechanism 5, which is used to convey the photovoltaic module to the bearing surface 11.
[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 is used to convey the photovoltaic modules onto the bearing surface 11, facilitating the removal of the boxes by the scraper 31. The conveying mechanism 5 can be implemented using a belt mechanism, with the belt directly mounted on the bearing surface 11. By moving the belt, the photovoltaic modules are positioned at a suitable location on the bearing surface 11. The conveying mechanism 5 eliminates the need for manual placement of the photovoltaic modules on the bearing surface 11, further improving the automation level of the removal box 8 and increasing the removal efficiency.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wire box 8 removal device also includes a collection bucket 6, which is disposed on the base 1 with its opening located on one side of the bearing surface 11. The scraper 31 or the pusher 33 can push the removed wire box 8 into the collection bucket 6.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection bucket 6 can be set on one side of the bearing surface 11, so that after the motion mechanism 2 drives the scraper 31 to move to one side of the bearing surface 11 and scrape off the wire box 8, the pusher 33 can push the scraped wire box 8 to one side of the bearing surface 11, so that the wire box 8 falls from the bearing surface 11 and is collected into the collection bucket 6. This allows the scraping, pushing and collecting processes to be completed in one movement, further improving the efficiency of disassembling the box.
