[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1-3 The present invention includes a base 1, which is divided into two layers and serves as the basic support structure for the entire device; a movable tray 2, which carries a battery panel with a water nozzle and can move along the X direction; and a tray transfer unit 3, which is installed on the top of the second layer of the base 1 and is used to drive the movable tray 2 to move along the X direction. The tray transfer unit 3 includes a servo motor 31 and an electric cylinder 32. The servo motor 31 is installed at one end of the top of the base 1 and is connected to the electric cylinder 32. The moving part of the electric cylinder 32 is connected to the bottom of the movable tray 2. It is worth noting that the tray transfer unit 3 is a conventional design; for example, the servo motor 31 is a motor capable of precisely controlling position, speed, and acceleration, and the electric cylinder 32 is also called an electric cylinder or servo motor. A servo electric cylinder is a device that converts electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy. It is usually composed of components such as a reducer and a lead screw. In the application of the movable tray 2, the electric cylinder 32 can be regarded as an extension of the servo motor 31. The rotational motion of the servo motor 31 is converted into the linear motion of the tray through the reducer and lead screw inside the electric cylinder 32. Its detailed operating principle will not be elaborated. The gantry frame 4 is installed on the top of the first layer of the base 1. The gantry frame 4 also has two layers, located above the two layers of the base 1 respectively. Both layers of the gantry frame 4 are equipped with a rolling unit transverse mechanism 7, which is used to drive the upper rolling assembly 5 and the lower support assembly 6 to move along the Y direction to the water nozzle position.

[0022] The hemming unit lateral movement mechanism 7 includes a servo motor 71, a T-type reducer 72, and a ball screw 73. The servo motor 71 is installed at the top of the second layer of the gantry frame 4. The T-type reducer 72 has two locations, each set at the second layer of the gantry frame 4, and both are connected to the shaft of the servo motor 71. The output end of the T-type reducer 72 is connected to the ball screw 73 on the inner side of the gantry frame 4. The upper hemming assembly 5 includes a cylinder 51, an upper support plate 52, and a hemming fixture 53, used for hemming the water nozzle. The upper support plate 52 is slidably connected to the slide rail of the second layer of the gantry frame 4 and threadedly connected to the ball screw 73 of the hemming unit lateral movement mechanism 7 of the second layer of the gantry frame 4. Next, cylinder 51 is installed on the top of upper support plate 52, and its bottom telescopic end is equipped with hemming fixture 53. The lower support assembly 6 includes lifting cylinder 61, pallet cylinder 62, support frame 63 and lower support fixture 64, which are used to support and position the battery panel and water nozzle during the hemming process. The support frame 63 is slidably connected to the slide rail of the first layer of gantry frame 4 and threadedly connected to the ball screw 73 of the horizontal movement mechanism 7 of the hemming unit of the first layer of gantry frame 4. Lifting cylinder 61 is installed at the bottom of support frame 63 and is used to drive the lower support fixture 64 to move up and down. Pallet cylinder 62 is installed on one side of support frame 63 and is used to abut the side end of the output end of lifting cylinder 61.

[0023] The specific implementation of this device is as follows: a solar panel with a water nozzle is mounted on a movable tray 2, and its position is defined using a positioning mechanism in the prior art. Then, driven by a tray transfer mechanism 3, the movable tray 2 moves the solar panel with the water nozzle along the X direction to the edge-rolling position. The upper edge-rolling assembly 5 and the lower support assembly 6 are moved along the Y direction to the water nozzle position under the drive of the edge-rolling unit lateral movement mechanism 7. The lower support assembly 6 lifts the lower support fixture 64 with the water nozzle by a lifting cylinder 61. The function of the pallet cylinder 62 is to prevent unnecessary movement or tilting of the lower support fixture 64 during the edge-rolling process. The lifting cylinder 61 is damaged, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the edge rolling operation. The upper edge rolling assembly 5 presses down the edge rolling fixture 53 through the cylinder 51, thereby tightly connecting the water nozzle and the battery. The edge rolling assembly is installed on the gantry frame 4, and the edge rolling unit and the moving tray are both installed on the base 1. The water nozzle fixture is installed on the moving tray 2 through pins and positioning slots. The upper edge rolling fixture 53 is installed on the upper support plate 52 of the upper edge rolling assembly 5 through pins and positioning slots. The lower support fixture 64 is installed on the lower support frame 63 through pins and positioning slots. When changing products, the three fixtures can be quickly replaced, which is very efficient.

[0024] Furthermore, the upper edge-rolling assembly 5 and the lower support assembly 6 are moved along the Y direction to the water nozzle position under the drive of the edge-rolling unit lateral movement mechanism 7. The implementation steps are as follows: the servo motor 71 is reduced in speed by the T-type reducer 72 and then drives the ball screw 73 to rotate. The rotation of the ball screw 73 is converted into linear motion, which drives the upper support plate 52 and the support frame 63 to move along the Y direction through the threaded connection. The servo motor 71 is a conventional design method. For example, the T-type reducer 72 is designed with a vertical bevel gear meshing structure, and the position can be driven by a servo motor 71. This is not limited or elaborated here.
