Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar frame processing technology, specifically a mechanical fine-tuning mechanism for a solar frame sawing machine. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, the existing solar frame, as a key structural component of photovoltaic modules, not only plays the role of supporting and fixing photovoltaic panels, but also needs to have good sealing and weather resistance to ensure the long-term stable operation of the modules in complex environments.
[0003] In the production process of solar panel frames, the sawing process is a key step that determines their dimensional accuracy. The material handler, as the bridge connecting the raw material transportation and the sawing process, needs to accurately position the aluminum alloy profile to the sawing station.
[0004] The existing material handling hand fine-tuning mechanism uses a single-cylinder gripper, which cannot apply a uniform and stable clamping force to the frame. During the handling process, it is very easy to cause the profile to shake and deform, which not only affects the cutting quality, but may also lead to abnormal wear of the sawing tool and increase equipment maintenance costs. At the same time, with the diversification of photovoltaic module size specifications (such as large-size rectangular frames, irregular curved frames, etc.), traditional material handling hands are difficult to quickly switch to adapt. In addition, the lack of a real-time and accurate positioning feedback mechanism makes it impossible to dynamically adjust the position according to the sawing processing status, which further aggravates the accumulation of processing errors. Utility Model Content
[0005] Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mechanical fine-tuning mechanism for the material handling arm of a solar frame saw.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mechanical fine-tuning mechanism for a solar frame saw, comprising a control console, a groove on one side of the control console, a fine-tuning component in the groove, a hydraulic mechanical arm at the upper end of the fine-tuning component, a hydraulic clamping component at one end of the hydraulic mechanical arm, and a positioning block on the upper side wall of the control console.
[0009] To achieve horizontal translation of the gripper, this utility model improves upon the following: the fine-tuning component includes a magnetic track, a magnetic block, a rotating rod, and a control motor. The magnetic track passes through the groove, the magnetic block is on the magnetic track and is electromagnetically slidably connected to it, a sliding hole is provided at the upper end of the groove, the upper end of the magnetic block passes through the sliding hole and is slidably connected to it, the magnetic block fits into the groove, the control motor is on the upper side wall of the magnetic block, the rotating rod is connected to the output end of the control motor, and the hydraulic robotic arm is at the upper end of the rotating rod.
[0010] To accommodate the width differences of different frame specifications, this utility model is improved as follows: the hydraulic clamping assembly includes a connecting plate, a cylinder, and a gripper. The connecting plate is located at the lower end of the hydraulic robotic arm, the cylinders are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the connecting plate, and the gripper is located at the lower end of the cylinder. The cylinder controls the corresponding gripper.
[0011] To detect the position of the border in real time, the present invention is improved by providing a photoelectric sensing device on the positioning block.
[0012] To achieve precise adjustment and feedback of the magnetic block position, the present invention is improved by the following: the magnetic track is connected to an electromagnetic controller, and the electromagnetic controller is electrically connected to the control system inside the control console.
[0013] To prevent the grippers from scratching the aluminum alloy frame, the present invention is improved by providing a flexible buffer layer on the inner side wall of the grippers, the flexible buffer layer being made of silicone material.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mechanical fine-tuning mechanism for the material handling arm of a solar frame saw, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The mechanical micro-adjustment mechanism of the solar frame sawing hand is equipped with micro-adjustment components and adopts a magnetic rail-magnetic block electromagnetic sliding structure. Combined with a hydraulic robotic arm, rotating rod and control motor, it realizes precise displacement and angle adjustment of the hand in the X, Y and Z axes. Compared with the traditional screw drive, it avoids the errors caused by mechanical backlash and wear, allowing the hand to complete positioning within millimeter accuracy, ensuring that the cutting size of the solar frame meets the design requirements.
[0019] The photoelectric sensing device on the positioning block, through the symmetrical arrangement of the transmitter and receiver, can detect the position, length and angle deviation of the frame in real time. When the frame is placed in the working area, the photoelectric signal is immediately transmitted to the control console. The system automatically calculates and adjusts the position of the material handling hand to form a closed-loop control, which greatly reduces the positioning error caused by manual intervention, thereby reducing the damage caused by unevenness of the frame.
[0020] The hydraulic clamping assembly adopts a dual-cylinder symmetrical drive gripper structure, which can apply equal clamping force to the solar cell frame, and is especially suitable for thin-walled aluminum alloy frames, ensuring that the material maintains a stable shape during handling and cutting.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4A micro-adjustment mechanism for a solar panel frame sawing machine includes a control console 1. A groove 12 is provided on one side of the control console 1, and a micro-adjustment component is disposed within the groove 12. A hydraulic robotic arm 6 is mounted on the upper end of the micro-adjustment component, and a hydraulic clamping component is mounted on one end of the hydraulic robotic arm 6. A positioning block 4 is provided on the upper sidewall of the control console 1. The hydraulic clamping component includes a connecting plate 5, a cylinder 2, and grippers 3. The connecting plate 5 is located at the lower end of the hydraulic robotic arm 6, the cylinder 2 is symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the connecting plate 5, and the grippers 3 are located at the lower end of the cylinder 2. The cylinder 2 controls the corresponding grippers 3. A photoelectric sensing device is provided on the positioning block 4, and the photoelectric sensing device includes a transmitter and a receiver, which are symmetrically arranged on the positioning block 4 for accurately sensing the position and size information of the solar panel frame and transmitting the signal to the control console 1. A remote control system is provided within the control console 1.
[0029] During operation, the operator inputs the specifications (such as length, width, and thickness) of the solar panel frame to be processed through the remote human-machine interface of console 1. The system automatically calculates the initial position and movement trajectory of the gripper according to the preset program. Console 1 sends a command to the fine-tuning component, which then activates the hydraulic robotic arm 6 above and the hydraulic clamping component connected to the hydraulic robotic arm 6 to move synchronously. This achieves the horizontal position adjustment of the gripper 3. The operator can observe the movement of the gripper 3 in real time through console 1 and, according to actual needs, move the gripper 3 to a position close to the approximate position of the solar panel frame to be gripped.
[0030] Simultaneously, the hydraulic robotic arm 6 is activated, and the hydraulic system begins to operate. By controlling the extension and retraction of different cylinders, the hydraulic robotic arm 6 can move in the forward and backward direction (further adjusting its position along the Y-axis) and vertically (along the Z-axis). For example, when it is necessary to raise the gripper 3, the hydraulic system supplies oil to the lifting cylinder of the robotic arm, pushing it upward; conversely, it lowers the robotic arm, ensuring that the gripper 3 can be aligned with the solar panel frame in the appropriate posture. Through the coordinated action of the fine-tuning components and the hydraulic robotic arm 6, the gripper 3 can perform comprehensive and precise position and angle adjustments in three-dimensional space to reach the ideal gripping position.
[0031] Once the gripper 3 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the control console 1 sends a start signal to the cylinder 2 of the hydraulic clamping assembly. The two cylinders 2, symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the connecting plate 5, operate simultaneously. The piston rods of the cylinders 2 extend, driving the gripper 3 at the lower end to move inward. As the gripper 3 gradually approaches the solar panel frame, it clamps it.
[0032] During the clamping process of the gripper 3, the cylinder 2 monitors and adjusts the applied clamping force in real time. When the clamping force reaches the preset value, the cylinder 2 stops moving to ensure that the frame is firmly and stably clamped and that the frame is not deformed due to excessive clamping force.
[0033] The gripper 3 holding the solar panel frame is moved to the positioning block 4 on the upper side wall of the control console 1, and the frame is slowly lowered. At this time, the photoelectric sensor on the positioning block 4 starts to function, emitting infrared light or a laser beam. When the frame is placed on the positioning block 4, the light is reflected by the frame, and the receiver receives the reflected light. By analyzing the time difference between the emitted light and the received light, as well as the reflection angle, the photoelectric sensor can accurately calculate the actual position and size of the solar panel frame on the positioning block 4, and transmit this data to the control console 1 in the form of electrical signals.
[0034] The control console 1 processes the received data and compares it with the preset ideal position and size parameters. If a deviation is detected in the placement of the frame, the control console 1 will restart the fine-tuning component and the hydraulic robotic arm 6 to fine-tune the position and angle of the gripper 3 so that the frame is accurately positioned and the accuracy of subsequent sawing processing is ensured.
[0035] In practical use, the material handling arm needs to be precisely positioned horizontally. To meet this requirement, in this embodiment, the fine-tuning component includes a magnetic track 10, a magnetic block 11, a rotating rod 7, and a control motor 8. The magnetic track 10 passes through the groove 12, and the magnetic block 11 is on the magnetic track 10 and electromagnetically slidably connected to it. A sliding hole 9 is provided at the upper end of the groove 12, and the upper end of the magnetic block 11 passes through the sliding hole 9 and is slidably connected to it. The magnetic block 11 fits against the groove 12. The control motor 8 is located on the upper side wall of the magnetic block 11. The rotating rod 7 is connected to the output end of the control motor 8, and the hydraulic robotic arm 6 is located at the upper end of the rotating rod 7.
[0036] When the control console 1 sends a displacement command to the electromagnetic controller, the windings inside the magnetic track 10 are energized, forming a specifically distributed electromagnetic field. The magnetic block 11, acting as an electromagnetic actuator, generates a Lorentz force under the action of the electromagnetic field and slides linearly along the magnetic track 10. This non-contact electromagnetic drive method avoids the mechanical wear and backlash in traditional gear rack or lead screw and nut transmissions, achieving micron-level positioning accuracy.
[0037] When the control console 1 issues an angle adjustment command, the control motor 8 rotates precisely according to the preset pulse signal, driving the rotating rod 7 to rotate synchronously. Since the hydraulic robotic arm 6 is fixed on the upper end of the rotating rod 7, the rotation of the rotating rod 7 is directly converted into the orientation adjustment of the hydraulic robotic arm 6. The control motor 8 adopts a closed-loop control system, which uses an encoder to provide real-time feedback of the rotation angle and combines it with a PID algorithm to achieve dynamic compensation for angle errors, ensuring that the gripper 3 can accurately align with the position to be gripped on the solar panel frame.
[0038] In actual use, it is necessary to achieve precise adjustment and feedback of the position of the magnetic block 11. In order to meet the above requirements, in this embodiment, the magnetic track 10 is connected to an electromagnetic controller, and the electromagnetic controller is electrically connected to the control system inside the control console 1.
[0039] In actual use, it is necessary to avoid the gripper 3 from scratching the aluminum alloy frame and to improve the product's appearance quality. In order to meet the above requirements, in this embodiment, a flexible buffer layer is provided on the inner sidewall of the gripper 3, and the flexible buffer layer is made of silicone material.
