Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lamination equipment technology, and in particular to a laminator with material stacking quantity detection. Background Technology
[0002] A laminator is an important piece of equipment required for manufacturing solar cell modules. It is a device that presses EVA, solar cells, tempered glass, and backsheet into a rigid whole under high temperature and vacuum conditions. After the photovoltaic modules flow into the laminator through the production line, the position of each photovoltaic module in the laminator needs to be recorded so that data can be accurately retrieved in case of anomalies, which facilitates troubleshooting.
[0003] The existing laminating machines record the data of photovoltaic modules using handheld barcode scanners, which has the following problems: the handheld barcode scanners require an additional person per shift per line, resulting in high labor costs; omissions are prone to occur; and work efficiency is low.
[0004] An existing patent (publication number: CN213353867U) discloses a laminator. By adjusting the position of the sliding mechanism, the position of the barcode scanner can be adjusted, thereby adjusting its scanning area, so that it can meet the barcode scanning and recording of different types of photovoltaic modules during the lamination process.
[0005] Existing patents offer solutions to the above problems, but their limiting effect is not good. In actual use, the lack of a limiting structure makes it difficult to restrict the movement of materials. During assembly line operations, materials are prone to positional deviations due to factors such as conveyor belt vibration and material offset, making it difficult to accurately enter the laminating area of the laminator. This results in inaccurate alignment during lamination, which seriously affects the processing effect of the laminator and the quality of the products, reducing the practicality of the device.
[0006] To address this, a laminator with material stockpile detection is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0027] A laminator with material stacking detection includes a laminator body 1. A conveying assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the front side of the laminator body 1, and a detection assembly 3 is provided on the top of the conveying assembly 2. The conveying assembly 2 includes a U-shaped block 201. L-shaped plates 202 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the U-shaped block 201, and a conveyor belt 203 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped block 201. Clamping plates 204 are provided on opposite sides of the two L-shaped plates 202, and hydraulic cylinders 205 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two clamping plates 204. Connecting grooves 206 are provided inside opposite sides of the two clamping plates 204, and several rubber rollers 207 are rotatably connected inside the connecting grooves 206.
[0028] In this embodiment: the hydraulic cylinder 205 drives the clamping plate 204 to move smoothly under the constraint of the slide bar 8, while simultaneously pushing the material to move between the rubber rollers 207, thus constraining the material of a specific specification. This ensures that the material is always in a suitable position for easy inspection and processing, and, in conjunction with the transmission action of the conveyor belt 203, the material is smoothly transferred to the laminator body 1 under the constraint of the rubber rollers 207, ensuring accurate alignment, guaranteeing the processing effect and quality of the product, and improving the ease of use of the conveyor assembly 2. Then, under the action of the electric trolley 303, the scanner 305 can move smoothly laterally. In conjunction with the rotating motor 306, the scanner 305 can rotate within the connecting bracket 304, realizing the adjustment of the scanning position and angle, and completing the identification of the material. At the same time, with the help of the industrial camera 6 and the distance sensor 5, image data of the material surface and the amount of material can be collected in real time, ensuring the accuracy of processing and improving the practicality of the device.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection component 3 includes a fixed bracket 301, a track block 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed bracket 301, and the fixed bracket 301 is located on the rear side of the top of the U-shaped block 201. An electric trolley 303 is movably connected to the surface of the track block 302, and a connecting bracket 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric trolley 303. A scanner 305 is rotatably connected inside the connecting bracket 304, and a rotating motor 306 is fixedly connected to the front side of the scanner 305.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the inner wall of the fixed bracket 301 are provided with a fixing groove 4. A distance sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing groove 4, and an industrial camera 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing groove 4.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, a data processor 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed bracket 301, and the data processor 7 is electrically connected to the distance sensor 5, the industrial camera 6 and the scanner 305.
[0032] In this embodiment, by using the distance sensor 5 in conjunction with the industrial camera 6, image data of the material surface and the amount of material piled up can be collected in real time and transmitted to the data processor 7 for processing. This allows operators to understand the condition of the material surface in real time and promptly remove damaged materials to prevent them from entering the laminator body 1. It also accurately detects the amount of material piled up, ensuring the processing effect and quality of the product and improving the ease of use of the detection component 3.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear sides of the clamping plate 204 near the L-shaped plate 202 are fixedly connected with sliding rods 8, and the sliding rods 8 are slidably connected inside the L-shaped plate 202.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the inner walls of the two L-shaped plates 202 are threaded with several bolts 9, and the bottom of the bolts 9 extends into the interior of the U-shaped block 201.
[0035] In this embodiment: the bolt 9 and the L-shaped plate 202 are used together to thread the bolt 9 through the L-shaped plate 202 and the U-shaped block 201, so that the L-shaped plate 202 and the U-shaped block 201 are tightly connected, which can effectively block the impact force from the outside and avoid the phenomenon of shaking and deviation, thus ensuring the stable operation of the conveying assembly 2. At the same time, under the action of the slide bar 8, a flow guiding structure can be formed, so that the clamping plate 204 moves smoothly under the restriction of the slide bar 8, avoiding the phenomenon of shaking and deviation, ensuring that the clamping plate 204 makes stable contact with the material, realizing the restriction of materials of specific specifications, and improving the convenience of using the conveying assembly 2.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a controller 10 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the laminator body 1, and the controller 10 is electrically connected to the data processor 7, the conveying component 2 and the detection component 3.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a hot air blower 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the laminator body 1, and the hot air blower 11 is electrically connected to the controller 10. Air supply pipes 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hot air blower 11. The side of the two air supply pipes 12 away from the hot air blower 11 extends into the interior of the laminator body 1 and is fixedly connected to an air jet plate 13. The two air jet plates 13 are respectively embedded in the two sides of the inner wall of the laminator body 1.
[0038] In this embodiment: Through the function of the controller 10, the operating parameters of the conveying component 2 and the detection component 3 can be accurately set according to the actual situation. It can also process the data fed back by the data processor 7, so that the operator can understand the processing status in real time. It can adjust the position and angle of the scanner 305 to complete the material identification, and collect images and material accumulation data with the camera and sensor. It can also adjust the spacing of the clamping plate 204 through the hydraulic cylinder 205 to limit the material of specific specifications, ensuring that it is stably conveyed to the laminator, which improves the practicality of the device. Then, under the action of the hot air blower 11, hot air can be delivered to the air jet plate 13 through the air pipe 12, and then sprayed evenly into the laminator body 1 through the air jet plate 13 to complete the preheating of the material, which facilitates the processing of the material and improves the processing efficiency of the material.
[0039] Working Principle: When detecting the quantity of laminated material, the material is first placed on conveyor belt 203. Then, the operator, through controller 10, can precisely set the operating parameters of conveyor assembly 2 and detection assembly 3. Subsequently, hydraulic cylinder 205 is activated, which drives clamping plate 204 to move smoothly under the constraint of slide bar 8, simultaneously pushing the material between rubber rollers 207. This forms a reliable limit for materials of specific specifications, ensuring the material is always in a suitable position for detection and processing. Simultaneously, conveyor belt 203 is activated, driving the material smoothly towards detection assembly 3 and the laminator body 1 under the constraint of rubber rollers 207, ensuring accurate alignment and guaranteeing the processing effect and quality of the product. When it moves to detection assembly 3, electric trolley 30 is activated. 3. It can drive the scanner 305 to move smoothly laterally. With the help of the rotating motor 306, the scanner 305 can rotate within the connecting bracket 304, realizing the adjustment of the scanning position and angle, and completing the rapid identification of the material. At the same time, with the help of the industrial camera 6 and the distance sensor 5, the image data of the material surface and the material accumulation can be collected in real time to ensure the accuracy of processing. The detection data is transmitted to the data processor 7 for processing, and the processing results are displayed at the controller 10, so that the operator can understand the processing status in real time. When the laminator is processed, the hot air blower 11 can generate hot air, which is delivered to the air jet plate 13 through the air pipe 12, and then evenly sprayed into the laminator body 1 through the air jet plate 13 to preheat the material and facilitate the processing of the material.
[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
