Photovoltaic module tail plate turnover device and photovoltaic module production equipment

Abstract

The application relates to a photovoltaic module tail plate turnover device and a photovoltaic module production equipment. The photovoltaic module tail plate turnover device comprises a conveying mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a material taking mechanism and a turnover mechanism. The material taking mechanism is arranged above the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism is connected with the conveying mechanism and is used for driving the conveying mechanism to move towards or away from the material taking mechanism. The turnover mechanism is connected with the material taking mechanism. During operation, the photovoltaic module after grading is conveyed to a specified position of the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism drives the conveying mechanism to rise to a preset height. If the photovoltaic module is the tail plate of a whole photovoltaic module, the material taking mechanism grabs the photovoltaic module on the conveying mechanism, and the turnover mechanism drives the material taking mechanism to turn over, so that the front surface of the photovoltaic module faces upwards and the back surface faces downwards. In this way, the tail plate of the whole photovoltaic module does not need to be manually turned over by workers, the labor intensity of the workers is reduced, and the workers can be prevented from being scratched in the process of manual turning over.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device and photovoltaic module production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are the core component of a solar power system, converting solar energy into electrical energy. In the production process of photovoltaic modules, sorting and packaging are the last two steps. During production, robotic arms stack the sorted photovoltaic modules onto pallets to form complete pallets, facilitating subsequent packaging.

[0003] However, robotic arms typically stack photovoltaic modules face down and back up. After stacking, workers manually flip the top layer of modules so that face up and back down. Manually flipping the modules increases workload, and the modules can easily scratch workers during the process. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device and photovoltaic module production equipment, which eliminates the need for manual flipping of the tail plates of the entire tray of photovoltaic modules, reduces the workload, and also avoids the photovoltaic modules scratching the operators during manual flipping.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device, comprising:

[0006] A conveying mechanism for conveying photovoltaic modules;

[0007] A lifting mechanism is connected to the conveying mechanism and is used to drive the conveying mechanism to move up and down.

[0008] A material-grabbing mechanism, positioned above the conveying mechanism, is used to grab the photovoltaic modules from the conveying mechanism when the conveying mechanism rises to a preset height; and

[0009] A flipping mechanism is connected to the material handling mechanism and is used to drive the material handling mechanism to flip.

[0010] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying component and a second conveying component, the first conveying component and the second conveying component being spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism; the lifting mechanism is connected to the first conveying component and the second conveying component, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the first conveying component and the second conveying component to move up and down synchronously.

[0011] In one embodiment, the material handling mechanism includes two clamping components, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. One clamping component is used to clamp a first end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction, and the other clamping component is used to clamp a second end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, both clamping assemblies include a drive module and clamping members. Two clamping members are provided and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The drive module is connected to the two clamping members and is used to drive the two clamping members to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0013] In one embodiment, the clamping member includes a connecting portion and a clamping portion, the connecting portion and the clamping portion are connected to form an L-shape, the connecting portion is connected to the drive module, and the clamping portion is provided with a slot for cooperating with the photovoltaic module.

[0014] In one embodiment, both clamping assemblies further include a crossbeam, and the drive module is disposed on the crossbeam;

[0015] The crossbeam is provided with a guide rail, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The clamping member is provided with a sliding member, which slides in cooperation with the guide rail.

[0016] In one embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes a first flipping member and a second flipping member, the first flipping member being connected to one of the clamping components and the second flipping member being connected to the other clamping component.

[0017] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device further includes a frame, the frame including a main frame and two side frames, the two side frames being respectively disposed on opposite sides of the main frame, both side frames being higher than the main frame, the conveying mechanism and the lifting mechanism being disposed on the main frame, and the material picking mechanism and the flipping mechanism being disposed on the upper part of the side frames.

[0018] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device further includes a straightening mechanism, which is provided corresponding to the conveying mechanism and is used to straighten the photovoltaic module on the conveying mechanism.

[0019] Secondly, this application also provides a photovoltaic module production equipment, including a gripping device and a photovoltaic module tail plate turning device of any of the above, wherein the photovoltaic module tail plate turning device is used to be installed after the sorting station, and the gripping device is used to transport the photovoltaic modules on the photovoltaic module tail plate turning device to a tray.

[0020] In the aforementioned photovoltaic module tail panel flipping device and photovoltaic module production equipment, the sorted photovoltaic modules are conveyed to a designated position on the conveying mechanism. On the conveying mechanism, the photovoltaic modules are face down and back up. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the conveying mechanism to rise to a preset height. If the photovoltaic modules are not part of a full pallet, they are transferred from the conveying mechanism to a pallet. If they are part of a full pallet, the picking mechanism grabs the photovoltaic modules from the conveying mechanism, and the flipping mechanism drives the picking mechanism to flip them so that the face of the photovoltaic modules is face up and the back is face down. Then, the back-face-down photovoltaic modules are stacked on top of the back-face-up photovoltaic modules. This eliminates the need for manual flipping of the full pallet of photovoltaic modules, reducing the labor intensity of operators and preventing injuries to workers from the photovoltaic modules during manual flipping, thus improving operational safety.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] One embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic module production equipment, including a gripping device and a photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device. The photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device is located after the sorting station.

[0028] During operation, the sorted photovoltaic modules are conveyed to the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device. On the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device, the front of the photovoltaic module is facing down and the back is facing up.

[0029] If the photovoltaic module is not the tail plate of the whole tray of photovoltaic modules, the gripping device directly grips the photovoltaic module on the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device and places the photovoltaic module on the tray.

[0030] If the photovoltaic modules are in a tray, the photovoltaic module tray flipping device flips the photovoltaic modules so that the front side of the photovoltaic modules is facing up and the back side is facing down. Then, the gripping device stacks the back-side-down photovoltaic modules on top of the back-side-up photovoltaic modules.

[0031] It should be noted that the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) determines whether the photovoltaic modules delivered to the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device are the tail plates of a whole tray of photovoltaic modules.

[0032] The tail plate of the entire photovoltaic module can be understood as the topmost photovoltaic module of the entire photovoltaic module.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device includes a conveying mechanism 20, a lifting mechanism 30, a material picking mechanism 40, and a flipping mechanism 50.

[0034] Further, see Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 20 is used to transport photovoltaic modules, and the picking mechanism 40 is located above the conveying mechanism 20. The lifting mechanism 30 is connected to the conveying mechanism 20 and is used to drive the conveying mechanism 20 to move towards or away from the picking mechanism 40. When the lifting mechanism 30 drives the conveying mechanism 20 to rise to a preset height, the picking mechanism 40 is used to grab the photovoltaic modules on the conveying mechanism 20.

[0035] Further, see Figure 1The flipping mechanism 50 is connected to the material handling mechanism 40, and the flipping mechanism 50 is used to drive the material handling mechanism 40 to flip at a preset angle. Optionally, the preset angle is 180°.

[0036] It should be noted that when the conveying mechanism 20 rises to the preset height, the photovoltaic module and the material picking mechanism 40 are at the same height, so that the material picking mechanism 40 can pick up the photovoltaic module on the conveying mechanism 20.

[0037] During operation, the sorted photovoltaic modules are transported to a designated position on the conveyor mechanism 20. On the conveyor mechanism 20, the front of the photovoltaic modules faces down and the back faces up. Then, the lifting mechanism 30 drives the conveyor mechanism 20 to rise to a preset height.

[0038] If the photovoltaic module is not the tail plate of the whole tray of photovoltaic modules, the gripping device directly grips the photovoltaic module on the conveying mechanism 20 and places the photovoltaic module on the tray.

[0039] If the photovoltaic modules are the tail panel of a whole tray of photovoltaic modules, the picking mechanism 40 grabs the photovoltaic modules from the conveying mechanism 20, and the flipping mechanism 50 drives the picking mechanism 40 to flip the photovoltaic modules so that the front side of the photovoltaic modules is facing up and the back side is facing down. Then, the picking device stacks the back-side-down photovoltaic modules on top of the back-side-up photovoltaic modules. In this way, there is no need to manually flip the tail panel of the whole tray of photovoltaic modules, reducing the labor intensity of the operators, and also preventing the photovoltaic modules from scratching the operators during manual flipping.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device also includes a frame 10. The conveying mechanism 20, the lifting mechanism 30, and the flipping mechanism 50 are all located on the frame 10. Thus, the frame 10 provides a mounting position for the conveying mechanism 20, the lifting mechanism 30, and the flipping mechanism 50.

[0041] Further, see Figure 1 The frame 10 includes a main frame 11 and two side frames 12. The two side frames 12 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main frame 11, and both side frames 12 are higher than the main frame 11. The main frame 11 and the two side frames 12 are both frame structures.

[0042] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30 are located on the main frame 11, and the material picking mechanism 40 and the flipping mechanism 50 are located on the upper part of the side frame 12. The flipping mechanism 50 drives the photovoltaic module to flip in the space formed by the main frame 11 and the two side frames 12.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying mechanism 20 includes a first conveying component 21 and a second conveying component 22. Both the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22 are located on the main frame 11 and are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 20.

[0044] During operation, the photovoltaic module can be transported to the designated position by the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22. After the photovoltaic module is transported to the designated position, the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22 support the opposite sides of the photovoltaic module respectively. By setting the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22 at intervals, the weight of the conveying mechanism 20 can be reduced, making it easier for the lifting mechanism 30 to lift the conveying mechanism 20.

[0045] Optionally, both the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22 are pulley modules. Of course, in other embodiments, the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22 may also be sprocket modules, and are not limited thereto.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 30 includes a screw lifting module 31.

[0047] Further, see Figure 2 The screw lifting module 31 includes a drive shaft 311, a power component 312, a first support screw 313, and a second support screw 314. The drive shaft 311 is located between the first conveying assembly 21 and the second conveying assembly 22, and extends in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The first support screw 313 is located at one end of the drive shaft 311 near the first conveying assembly 21 and extends along the height direction of the frame 10. The first support screw 313 is connected to both the drive shaft 311 and the first conveying assembly 21. The second support screw 314 is located at one end of the drive shaft 311 near the second conveying assembly 22 and extends along the height direction of the frame 10. The second support screw 314 is connected to both the drive shaft 311 and the second conveying assembly 22.

[0048] See Figure 2 The power component 312 is located on the main frame 11 and is connected to the drive shaft 311. The power component 312 drives the drive shaft 311 to rotate around its own axis, thereby driving the first support screw 313 and the second support screw 314 to move towards or away from the material handling mechanism 40. In this way, a single power component 312 can drive the first support screw 313 and the second support screw 314 to move in the same direction, thereby driving the first conveying assembly 21 and the second conveying assembly 22 to move in the same direction.

[0049] Optionally, the power component 312 is located between the first conveying assembly 21 and the second conveying assembly 22. The power component 312 is provided with a first gear, and the drive shaft 311 is provided with a second gear that meshes with the first gear.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The first supporting screw 313 is provided with a first adapter 315, which is connected to the first conveying assembly 21. Optionally, the first adapter 315 is a first adapter plate, which is located on the top of the first supporting screw 313. In this way, the first supporting screw 313 is connected to the first conveying assembly 21 through the first adapter 315, which improves the convenience of connecting the first supporting screw 313 to the first conveying assembly 21.

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The second supporting screw 314 is provided with a second adapter 316. The second adapter 316 is connected to the second conveying assembly 22. Optionally, the second adapter 316 is a second adapter plate, which is located on the top of the second supporting screw 314. In this way, the second supporting screw 314 is connected to the second conveying assembly 22 through the second adapter 316, which improves the convenience of connecting the second supporting screw 314 to the second conveying assembly 22.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least two screw lifting modules 31 are provided, and all screw lifting modules 31 are spaced apart along the conveying direction. This helps to improve the smoothness of the lifting of the conveying mechanism 20.

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 2 There are two screw lifting modules 31. One screw lifting module 31 is located at one-quarter position along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 20, and the other screw lifting module 31 is located at one-third position along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 20.

[0054] In one embodiment, the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device further includes a first detection element and a second detection element. The first detection element is disposed on the conveying mechanism 20 and is used to detect whether the photovoltaic module is located at a designated position. The second detection element is disposed on the material handling mechanism 40 and is used to detect whether the conveying mechanism 20 has risen to a preset height.

[0055] Furthermore, the photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device also includes a control unit, which is communicatively connected to the first detection element, the second detection element, the lifting mechanism 30, and the material handling mechanism 40.

[0056] When the first detection element detects that the photovoltaic module is in the designated position, the control unit controls the lifting mechanism 30 to operate.

[0057] When the second detection element detects that the conveying mechanism 20 has risen to a preset height, the control unit controls the material handling mechanism 40 to operate.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The material handling mechanism 40 includes two clamping components 41. The two clamping components 41 are spaced apart along the conveying direction, one clamping component 41 is used to clamp the first end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction, and the other clamping component 41 is used to clamp the second end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction.

[0059] Specifically, the two clamping components 41 are set one-to-one with the two side frames 12.

[0060] During operation, the lifting mechanism 30 drives the conveying mechanism 20 to rise. After the conveying mechanism 20 rises to a preset height, one of the clamping components 41 clamps the first end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction, and the other clamping component 41 clamps the second end of the photovoltaic module along the conveying direction. In this way, the two clamping components 41 cooperate to stably and reliably clamp the photovoltaic module and prevent it from falling.

[0061] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 Both clamping assemblies 41 include a drive module 411 and clamping members 412. Two clamping members 412 are provided and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The drive module 411 is connected to the two clamping members 412 and is used to drive the two clamping members 412 to move closer to or further apart from each other.

[0062] During operation, the drive module 411 drives the two clamping members 412 to move away from each other. After the conveying mechanism 20 rises to the preset height, the drive module 411 drives the two clamping members 412 to move closer to each other to clamp the photovoltaic module.

[0063] Optionally, see Figure 3 The drive module 411 includes a motor 4111, a first transmission screw 4112, and a second transmission screw 4113. The motor 4111 has a first output shaft and a second output shaft facing each other. The first output shaft is connected to the first transmission screw 4112, and the second transmission screw 4113 is connected to the second transmission screw 4113. Both the first transmission screw 4112 and the second transmission screw 4113 extend in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The first transmission screw 4112 has a first nut, which is connected to one of the clamping members 412. The second transmission screw 4113 has a second nut, which is connected to the other clamping member 412. Thus, a single motor 4111 can drive the first transmission screw 4112 and the second transmission screw 4113 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the two clamping members 412 to move closer or further apart.

[0064] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 Both clamping assemblies 41 also include a crossbeam 413. The drive module 411 is disposed on the crossbeam 413. Thus, the crossbeam 413 provides a mounting position for the drive module 411.

[0065] Further, see Figure 3 The crossbeam 413 is equipped with a guide rail 4131, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The clamping member 412 is equipped with a sliding member, which slides in engagement with the guide rail 4131. Thus, the cooperation between the guide rail 4131 and the sliding member ensures that the movement of the clamping member 412 is guided, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the clamping member 412 and enhancing the reliability of the clamping assembly 41 in holding the photovoltaic module.

[0066] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 Both clamping members 412 include a connecting portion 4121 and a clamping portion 4122. The connecting portion 4121 and the clamping portion 4122 are connected to form an L-shape.

[0067] Furthermore, the connecting part 4121 is provided with a sliding member, and the clamping part 4122 is provided with a slot. By providing the connecting part 4121, it is convenient for the clamping member 412 to slide and connect with the guide rail 4131. By providing a slot in the clamping part 4122, during operation, the frame of the photovoltaic module is located in the slot, and the slot engages with the photovoltaic module, thereby improving the reliability of the photovoltaic module clamping.

[0068] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The flipping mechanism 50 includes a first flipping member 51 and a second flipping member 52. Optionally, both the first flipping member 51 and the second flipping member 52 are rotary motors.

[0069] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A first flipping component 51 is disposed on the top of one of the side frames 12, and a second flipping component 52 is disposed on the top of the other side frame 12. The first flipping component 51 is connected to one of the clamping components 41, and the second flipping component 52 is connected to the other clamping component 41. During operation, the first flipping component 51 drives one of its corresponding clamping components 41 to flip, and the second flipping component 52 drives the other of its corresponding clamping components 41 to flip.

[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The photovoltaic module tail plate flipping device also includes a straightening mechanism 60. The straightening mechanism 60 is provided corresponding to the conveying mechanism 20, and is used to straighten the photovoltaic modules on the conveying mechanism 20.

[0071] During operation, after the photovoltaic modules are conveyed to the designated position on the conveying mechanism 20, the alignment mechanism 60 aligns the photovoltaic modules. In this way, the position of the photovoltaic modules can be corrected, so that the material handling mechanism 40 can accurately pick up the photovoltaic modules on the conveying mechanism 20.

[0072] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The correction mechanism 60 includes a first correction component 61, a second correction component 62, a third correction component 63, and a fourth correction component 64. The first correction component 61 is located on the side of the first conveying component 21 away from the second conveying component 22. The second correction component 62 is located on the side of the second conveying component 22 away from the first conveying component 21. The third correction component 63 and the fourth correction component 64 are both located between the first conveying component 21 and the second conveying component 22, and are respectively provided at both ends of the conveying mechanism 20 along the conveying direction.

[0073] Further, see Figure 2 The correction mechanism 60 also includes a first drive assembly 65 and a second drive assembly 66. The first drive assembly 65 is connected to the first correction assembly 61 and the second correction assembly 62, and is used to drive the first correction assembly 61 and the second correction assembly 62 to move closer or further apart in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The second drive assembly 66 is connected to the third correction assembly 63 and the fourth correction assembly 64, and is used to drive the third correction assembly 63 and the fourth correction assembly 64 to move closer or further apart in the conveying direction.

[0074] Optionally, the first drive assembly 65 is a first pulley module, and the first alignment assembly 61 and the second alignment assembly 62 are respectively connected to the transmission belts on both sides of the first pulley module.

[0075] Optionally, the second drive assembly 66 is a second pulley module, and the third alignment assembly 63 and the fourth alignment assembly 64 are respectively connected to the transmission belts on both sides of the second pulley module.

[0077] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0079] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0080] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0082] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
