[0030] This application provides an adjustable-size laminating frame device to address at least one of the following technical problems in traditional methods of component lamination using separate laminating frames, where the upper and lower frames are manually adjusted: manual intervention is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in high labor costs; different sized components require different sized laminating frames, leading to high equipment costs. The adjustable-size laminating frame device will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] The adjustable-size laminating frame device 10 provided in this application embodiment is exemplified by [example provided]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a bottom view of the adjustable lamination frame device 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. The adjustable lamination frame device 10 of this application can be used in the lamination process of laminated components in the photovoltaic field.
[0032] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the adjustable laminating frame device 10, the adjustable laminating frame device 10 will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0033] For example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable-size laminating frame device 10 includes a support member 100 and a laminating member 200. The support member 100 is installed inside a laminating chamber. The laminating surface of the support member 100 is provided with a laminating station 101 that matches the laminating components. The support member 100 is capable of vertical movement. The laminating member 200 includes a plurality of laminating strips 210 arranged around the laminating station 101. The laminating strips 210 are movably connected to the support member 100. The laminating strips 210 are capable of vertical movement. The plurality of laminating strips 210 in different positions can form a laminating frame adapted to laminating components of different sizes.
[0034] In some embodiments, multiple laminating strips 210 are provided on each side of the laminating station 101 at intervals. That is, multiple laminating strips 210 are provided around each perimeter of the laminating station 101. The laminating strips 210 at different positions can be raised and lowered to combine with laminating strips 210 in different directions to form laminating frames of different sizes.
[0035] In some embodiments, a plurality of laminating strips 210 are arranged around the periphery of the lamination station 101 along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of laminate strips 210 distributed along a first direction are arranged at equal intervals. Arranging a plurality of laminate strips 210 at equal intervals along the first direction facilitates the processing and assembly of the laminate strips 210, and also facilitates the combination of the laminate strips 210 into multiple laminate frames of fixed size.
[0037] In some embodiments, a plurality of laminate strips 210 distributed along the second direction are arranged at equal intervals. Arranging a plurality of laminate strips 210 at equal intervals along the second direction facilitates the processing and assembly of the laminate strips 210, and also facilitates the combination of the laminate strips 210 into multiple laminate frames of fixed size.
[0038] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the first direction is 3cm to 100cm. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the first direction is 5cm to 50cm. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the first direction is 5cm to 30cm.
[0039] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the second direction is 3cm to 100cm. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the second direction is 5cm to 50cm. Optionally, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along the second direction is 5cm to 30cm.
[0040] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along a first direction is equal to the spacing between adjacent laminate strips 210 distributed along a second direction.
[0041] In some embodiments, the laminate is generally rectangular. Optionally, the lamination station 101 is rectangular, and multiple lamination strips 210 are provided around the perimeter of the lamination station 101. During lamination, the movement of the lamination strips 210 at different positions can be controlled according to the size of the laminate, thus adapting to the laminate for the lamination process.
[0042] In some embodiments, the support member 100 is provided with a plurality of lamination stations 101. Each lamination station 101 is surrounded by a plurality of lamination strips 210.
[0043] In some embodiments, a number of laminating strips 210 are shared between two adjacent lamination stations 101. See also Figure 1 As shown, two adjacent lamination stations 101 share three lamination strips 210. It is easy to understand that in other examples, two adjacent lamination stations 101 share a different number of lamination strips 210. This shared lamination strip configuration saves on the number of lamination strips 210, reduces equipment costs, and improves equipment compactness.
[0044] In some embodiments, multiple lamination stations 101 are sequentially distributed along a first direction.
[0045] In some embodiments, the size-adjustable laminating frame device 10 further includes a drive component. The drive component is connected to each laminating strip 210. The drive component is capable of driving the different laminating strips 210 to move up and down. In the lamination process, when lamination is required, based on the size of the laminate, the laminating strip 210 at the corresponding position is driven down to press the laminate for the lamination process.
[0046] Optionally, there can be multiple driving components. Different driving components are connected to laminating strips 210 at different positions to drive the corresponding laminating strips 210 to move.
[0047] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a drive motor or a drive cylinder.
[0048] In some embodiments, the size-adjustable laminate frame device 10 further includes a control mechanism. The control mechanism is electrically connected to the drive component described above.
[0049] One embodiment of this application also provides a lamination apparatus.
[0050] A lamination apparatus includes a laminator and a size-adjustable lamination frame device 10 in any of the above embodiments, the size-adjustable lamination frame device 10 being installed in the lamination chamber of the laminator.
[0051] In summary, the aforementioned adjustable lamination frame device 10 can be used in the lamination process of photovoltaic module manufacturing. The lamination frame is required during the lamination process, and its main function is to protect the module and control the lamination thickness during operation. This application allows for the setting of lamination frames of different sizes based on lamination needs. By selecting lamination strips 210 at different positions around the lamination station 101, lamination frames of different sizes can be combined to adapt to different sizes of laminated components, achieving the purpose of autonomously assembling lamination frames without the need for multiple lamination frames of different fixed sizes, significantly reducing equipment costs. During the lamination process, the lamination frame can move up and down on the support component 100, freely combining, reducing manual intervention and saving the upper and lower frame movements required in traditional technologies, thus significantly saving manpower.
