Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar panel assembly technology, specifically an edge banding machine for solar panel assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Battery cell sealing is a crucial step in the battery manufacturing process, significantly impacting battery performance, safety, and lifespan. Sealing effectively isolates the battery from external environmental influences, preventing the intrusion of harmful substances such as moisture, dust, and gases, thus protecting the internal materials and structure from damage. Sealing also enhances the battery's airtightness, preventing internal leaks or short circuits and ensuring stable operation under normal working conditions.
[0003] When encapsulating solar panels, the solar panels and the edge sealing material need to be in close contact and rolled together. When sealing the edge with the edge sealing material, it is necessary to ensure that the solar panels and the edge sealing material are tightly attached. However, due to the inconsistency between the width of the solar panels and the material of the edge sealing material, the thickness of the solar panels after sealing is affected, resulting in inconsistent sealing effects and affecting the quality of the finished edge-sealed solar panels. Therefore, an edge sealing machine for solar panel assembly is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies and the problem that inconsistent edge-sealing materials and widths of solar panels affect the thickness of the sealed solar panels, resulting in inconsistent edge-sealing effects and impacting the quality of finished solar panels, this invention proposes an edge-sealing machine for solar panel assembly. This machine can identify solar panels with substandard edge-sealing, ensuring the sealing effect of the solar panels.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an edge sealing machine for assembling solar panels, including a frame, a hole provided on one side of the frame, a telescopic rod inserted into the hole, and a shrink plate fixed to one end of the telescopic rod;
[0006] A guide plate is fixed to the top side of the shrink plate. One end of the guide plate has a flared structure. A first spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod. The two ends of the first spring are respectively fixed to the opposite surfaces of the frame and the shrink plate.
[0007] A connecting plate is provided on the bottom side of the frame and the shrink plate. The warning structure includes a connecting plate, which is fixed to the bottom side of the shrink plate. A push rod is fixed on one side of the connecting plate, and a rubber head is fixed at one end of the push rod. An electrode head is fixed at the bottom outer side of the rubber head.
[0008] The mounting bracket is installed on the bottom side of the shrink plate. The mounting bracket has a sliding hole inside. An upper sliding plate and a lower sliding plate are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding hole. A positioning rod is fixed on the bottom side of the upper sliding plate. A rod hole is opened inside the lower sliding plate. The bottom end of the positioning rod passes through the rod hole of the lower sliding plate. A locking nut is rotated on the bottom end of the positioning rod. An electrode plate is fixed on the top side of the upper sliding plate.
[0009] An indicator light is installed on the top side of the guide plate. The electrode sheet, electrode head, indicator light and power supply are connected in series. The indicator light is connected to the PLC control center via a signal.
[0010] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixed on the other side of the frame, and a pushing structure is installed on the fixed frame. The pushing structure includes a crossbeam frame with a through hole. A movable rod is installed in the through hole. A limit cap is fixed on the top side of the movable rod. A third spring is fixed between the limit cap and the top side of the crossbeam frame. A roller frame is fixed at the bottom end of the movable rod. A rubber wheel is rotatably installed in the roller frame. Three sets of roller frames are installed side by side on the bottom side of the crossbeam frame. A drive motor is installed on the outside of the roller frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the rotation shaft of the rubber wheel. By operating the drive motor in the pushing structure, one of the rubber wheels can be driven to operate, which can realize the pressing and pushing of the solar panel body. The third spring is stretched. Under the contraction of the third spring, the rubber wheel can be stably pressed and rolled against the top side of the solar panel body, realizing stable pushing.
[0011] Preferably, a roller press motor is installed on the bottom side of the frame. The output shaft of the roller press motor passes through the frame, and an extrusion roller is installed on the output shaft of the roller press motor. A screw is fixed on the top side of the extrusion roller, a second spring is sleeved on the screw, a limiting disc is sleeved on the screw, and an adjusting nut is rotatably mounted on the top of the screw. The extrusion roller achieves the bonding and roller pressing of the sealing material and the battery cell. During roller pressing, by rotating the adjusting nut, the limiting disc can be squeezed to ensure that the limiting disc is positioned above the thickness of the battery cell. With the cooperation of the limiting disc, the edge sealing can be prevented from shifting, ensuring accurate edge sealing.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is installed on the top side of the frame, and a feeding port is provided inside the limiting plate. The limiting roller is rotatably installed on the top side of the frame, and the limiting roller is located at the feeding port of the limiting plate. The opening between the limiting plate and the guide plate is the feeding position. The battery panel body is fed through the feeding position. During edge sealing, the edge sealing material is inserted into the feeding port inside the limiting plate. With the cooperation of the limiting roller, the edge sealing material can be delivered.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] This utility model, during edge sealing, adjusts the position of the electrode sheet at the bottom of the frame according to the distance between the extrusion roller and the inner wall of the guide plate. When the thickness of the solar panel body and the edge sealing are combined with the preset structure, the electrode head on the bottom side of the rubber head contacts the electrode sheet when the solar panel body and the edge sealing are combined, thus energizing the indicator light. The indicator light flashes when the edge sealing passes through. When the thickness of the solar panel body and the edge sealing are different when the solar panel body passes through the edge sealing, it will cause the electrode head and the electrode sheet to misalign, resulting in the indicator light being de-energized. When the indicator light is de-energized, the system can identify solar panels with unqualified edge sealing, ensuring the sealing effect of the solar panels. Attached Figure Description

[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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, a solar panel assembly edge sealing machine includes a frame 1. A socket is provided on one side of the frame 1, and a telescopic rod 5 is inserted into the socket. A shrink plate 2 is fixed to one end of the telescopic rod 5.
[0025] Guide plate 3, the top side of the shrink plate 2 is fixed with guide plate 3, one end of the guide plate 3 is a flared structure, the outer side of the telescopic rod 5 is fitted with a first spring 4, the two ends of the first spring 4 are respectively fixed on the opposite surfaces of the frame 1 and the shrink plate 2.
[0026] A connecting plate 18 is provided on the bottom side of the frame 1 and the shrink plate 2. The warning structure includes the connecting plate 18, which is fixed to the bottom side of the shrink plate 2. A push rod 19 is fixed on one side of the connecting plate 18. A rubber head 26 is fixed at one end of the push rod 19. An electrode head 25 is fixed at the bottom outer side of the rubber head 26.
[0027] Mounting bracket 27 is installed on the bottom side of the shrink plate 2. The mounting bracket 27 has a sliding hole inside. An upper sliding plate 20 and a lower sliding plate 21 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding hole. A positioning rod 22 is fixed on the bottom side of the upper sliding plate 20. A rod hole is opened inside the lower sliding plate 21. The bottom end of the positioning rod 22 passes through the rod hole of the lower sliding plate 21. A locking nut 23 is rotated around the bottom end of the positioning rod 22. An electrode plate 24 is fixed on the top side of the upper sliding plate 20.
[0028] An indicator light 17 is installed on the top side of the guide plate 3. The electrode plate 24, the electrode head 25, the indicator light 17 and the power supply are connected in series. The indicator light 17 is connected to the PLC control center through a signal.
[0029] During the production of solar panels, edge sealing is required to better protect the solar cells. To ensure a better sealing effect, the solar panel body 6 slides along the top side of the frame 1, which can advance the solar panel body 6. During the advancement, the solar panel body 6 can move forward along the flared opening of the guide plate 3. As the solar panel body 6 advances, it slides along the side of the guide plate 3, which can push the shrink plate 2 to move away from the frame 1. This can stretch the first spring 4. Under its shrinkage action, with the cooperation of the guide plate 3, the solar panel body 6 can be stably limited, ensuring that the solar panel body 6 can be stably advanced.
[0030] When sealing the edges, the position of the bottom electrode plate 24 of the frame 1 is adjusted according to the distance between the extrusion roller 12 and the inner wall of the guide plate 3. By loosening the locking nut 23, the upper slide plate 20 and the lower slide plate 21 can be pushed to slide along the sliding hole of the mounting frame 27, thereby adjusting the position of the electrode plate 24.
[0031] After the electrode sheet 24 is adjusted, when the shrink plate 2 expands, it drives the rubber head 26 at the bottom of the shrink plate 2 to move. When the thickness of the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are the same as the preset structure, when the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are combined, the electrode head 25 on the bottom side of the rubber head 26 contacts the electrode sheet 24, so that the indicator light 17 is powered on. When the sealing edge passes, the indicator light 17 is in a powered-on flashing state. When the battery panel body 6 passes through the sealing edge, if the thickness of the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are different, it will cause the electrode head 25 and the electrode sheet 24 to be misaligned, causing the indicator light 17 to be de-energized. After the indicator light 17 is de-energized, the de-energization signal is transmitted to the PLC control center for connection, which can identify battery panels with unqualified sealing edges and ensure the packaging effect of the battery panel.
[0032] A fixing frame 10 is fixed to the other side of the frame 1. A pushing structure 9 is installed on the fixing frame 10. The pushing structure 9 includes a crossbeam frame 97. A through hole is opened in the crossbeam frame 97, and a movable rod 95 is installed in the through hole. A limit cap 93 is fixed to the top side of the movable rod 95. A third spring 94 is fixed between the limit cap 93 and the top side of the crossbeam frame 97. A roller frame 96 is fixed to the bottom end of the movable rod 95. A rubber wheel 92 is rotatably installed in the roller frame 96. Three sets of roller frames 96 are installed side by side on the bottom side of the crossbeam frame 97. A drive motor 91 is installed on the outside of the roller frame 96. The output of the drive motor 91 is... The output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of the rubber wheel 92. During the encapsulation of the solar panel, after the solar panel body 6 is loaded, the drive motor 91 in the push structure 9 drives one of the rubber wheels 92 to work, which can press and push the solar panel body 6. When the solar panel body 6 passes through, the rubber wheel 92 can be lifted. When the rubber wheel 92 is lifted, the limit cap 93 can be lifted with the cooperation of the movable rod 95. When the limit cap 93 is lifted, the third spring 94 is stretched. Under the contraction of the third spring 94, the rubber wheel 92 can be stably pressed and rolled on the top side of the solar panel body 6, so as to achieve stable pushing.
[0033] A roller press motor 11 is installed on the bottom side of the frame 1. The output shaft of the roller press motor 11 passes through the frame 1, and an extrusion roller 12 is installed on the output shaft of the roller press motor 11. A screw 14 is fixed on the top side of the extrusion roller 12. A second spring 13 is sleeved on the screw 14. A limiting disc 15 is sleeved on the screw 14. An adjusting nut 16 is rotatably mounted on the top of the screw 14. During operation, in order to facilitate the edge sealing operation, the roller press motor 11 drives the extrusion roller 12 to rotate, which enables the extrusion roller 12 to combine the edge sealing material and the battery cell. During the rolling process, by rotating the adjusting nut 16, the limiting disc 15 can be squeezed, ensuring that the limiting disc 15 is positioned above the thickness of the battery cell. With the cooperation of the limiting disc 15, the edge sealing can be prevented from shifting, ensuring accurate edge sealing.
[0034] A limiting plate 7 is installed on the top side of the frame 1. A feeding port is provided inside the limiting plate 7. A limiting roller 8 is rotatably installed on the top side of the frame 1. The limiting roller 8 is located at the feeding port of the limiting plate 7. The opening between the limiting plate 7 and the guide plate 3 is the feeding position. The battery panel body 6 is fed through the feeding position. During operation, when sealing the edge, the sealing material is inserted into the feeding port inside the limiting plate 7. With the cooperation of the limiting roller 8, the sealing material can be delivered.
[0035] Working principle: In order to better protect the battery cells, edge sealing is required. During edge sealing, in order to better ensure the sealing effect, the battery panel body 6 slides along the top side of the frame 1, which can advance the battery panel body 6. During the advancement, the battery panel body 6 can move forward along the flared opening of the guide plate 3. As the battery panel body 6 advances, it slides along the side of the guide plate 3, which can push the shrink plate 2 to move away from the frame 1. This can stretch the first spring 4. Under its shrinkage action, with the cooperation of the guide plate 3, the battery panel body 6 can be stably limited, ensuring that the battery panel body 6 can be stably advanced.
[0036] During the encapsulation of the solar panel, after the solar panel body 6 is loaded, the drive motor 91 in the push structure 9 drives one of the rubber wheels 92 to press and push the solar panel body 6. When the solar panel body 6 passes through, the rubber wheel 92 is lifted. When the rubber wheel 92 is lifted, the limit cap 93 is lifted with the cooperation of the movable rod 95. When the limit cap 93 is lifted, the third spring 94 is stretched. Under the contraction of the third spring 94, the rubber wheel 92 is stably pressed and rolled on the top side of the solar panel body 6, achieving stable pushing.
[0037] To facilitate the edge sealing operation, the extrusion roller 12 is rotated by the roller motor 11. The extrusion roller 12 can achieve the combined roller pressing of the edge sealing material and the battery cell. During roller pressing, the limiting plate 15 can be pressed by rotating the adjusting nut 16, ensuring that the limiting plate 15 is positioned above the thickness of the battery cell. With the cooperation of the limiting plate 15, the edge sealing can be prevented from shifting, ensuring accurate edge sealing.
[0038] When sealing the edges, the position of the bottom electrode plate 24 of the frame 1 is adjusted according to the distance between the extrusion roller 12 and the inner wall of the guide plate 3. By loosening the locking nut 23, the upper slide plate 20 and the lower slide plate 21 can be pushed to slide along the sliding hole of the mounting frame 27, thereby adjusting the position of the electrode plate 24.
[0039] After the electrode sheet 24 is adjusted, when the shrink plate 2 expands, it drives the rubber head 26 at the bottom of the shrink plate 2 to move. When the thickness of the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are the same as the preset structure, when the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are combined, the electrode head 25 on the bottom side of the rubber head 26 contacts the electrode sheet 24, so that the indicator light 17 is powered on. When the sealing edge passes, the indicator light 17 is in a powered-on flashing state. When the battery panel body 6 passes through the sealing edge, if the thickness of the battery panel body 6 and the sealing edge are different, it will cause the electrode head 25 and the electrode sheet 24 to be misaligned, causing the indicator light 17 to be de-energized. After the indicator light 17 is de-energized, the de-energization signal is transmitted to the PLC control center for connection, which can identify battery panels with unqualified sealing edges and ensure the packaging effect of the battery panel.
