Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, specifically relating to a material storage station for photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules, with sodium-calcium silicate glass as the core supporting material, are crucial for their encapsulation. Their quality directly impacts the module's power generation efficiency and lifespan. Photovoltaic modules undergo multiple production processes, necessitating the establishment of material storage stations between workstations to accommodate the production rhythm. A Chinese patent with publication number CN208485285U discloses a flexible docking system for unmanned storage and transportation automation workstations in a photovoltaic production line, belonging to the field of mechanical transmission. The system includes: a machine platform equipped with a first positioning component; a material carrying device equipped with a second positioning component for transporting materials onto the machine platform; and an AGV for transporting the material carrying device. When the first and second positioning components cooperate, the AGV controls the height of the material carrying device based on the height of the conveyor belt on the machine platform; and / or controls the position of the material carrying device based on the position of the machine platform. This system solves the problem of large space occupation and poor material transportation reliability in unmanned storage and transportation automation workstations in photovoltaic production lines due to each machine platform being equipped with a truss module and a robotic arm; and saves space occupied by the system. The aforementioned patents have some advantages, but also some disadvantages, such as: the design of the material storage station is relatively complex, and there are certain defects in storing and transferring materials to adapt to the production cycle.

A servo motor is provided above the frame, and the servo motor drives the screw and nut lifting mechanism to operate through a power reversing transmission structure.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage station structure of this photovoltaic module is simplified and can well adapt to the production cycle requirements. This storage station can be installed in the conveyor line. When the photovoltaic module is conveyed to the two storage sections on the frame, the photovoltaic module can be placed at the inlet / outlet platform for storage, and its height can be adjusted by lifting or lowering. When adjusting the storage height, the servo motor and power reversing transmission mechanism drive the screw nut lifting mechanism to move, which in turn drives the driven chain to move, thereby driving the lifting.

[0006] Preferably, the lead screw nut lifting mechanism includes a lead lever, a lifting nut, and a connecting arm. The lead lever is rotatably connected to the frame via a bearing. The lifting nut is threadedly connected to the lead lever and vertically slidably connected to the frame.

The servo motor drives the drive rod to rotate. The first bevel gear is fixed to one end of the drive rod, and the second bevel gear is fixed to one end of the lead lever. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with each other.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drive rod is driven by the servo motor, it can drive the first bevel gears at both ends to rotate. Through the meshing of the first bevel gears and the second bevel gears, the lead lever can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the lifting nut to rise and fall.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding and discharging platform includes a frame and several support rollers, the frame is fixedly installed with a chain, and the several support rollers are rotatably connected in the frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the driven chain operation can be improved by using several support rollers, and the frame can facilitate the storage of photovoltaic modules.

[0012] Preferably, the frame is equipped with isolation safety nets on the outside of the two sets of storage areas.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the isolation safety net can protect the device.

[0014] Preferably, the frame has a motor cover installed outside the servo motor, and the motor cover has several heat dissipation slots.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the motor shaft can be set to protect the servo motor, and the heat sink can improve the heat dissipation capacity of the servo motor.

[0016] Preferably, the first bevel gear is fixed to the end of the drive rod via a coupling, the transmission gear is rotatably connected to the support base, and the support base is fixed to the frame by bolts.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first bevel gear can be easily fixed using a coupling, and the transmission gear can be easily installed using a support base.

[0018] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a transfer roller frame at the inlet and outlet platform.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the transmission roller frame can assist in the transmission of photovoltaic modules to the feeding and discharging platform.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The storage station for this photovoltaic module features a streamlined structure that adapts well to production cycle requirements. This storage station can be installed on a conveyor line. When the photovoltaic modules are conveyed to the two storage sections on the frame, they can be placed at the inlet / outlet platform for storage, and their height can be adjusted by lifting or lowering. Adjusting the storage height relies on a servo motor and power reversing transmission mechanism to drive the screw nut lifting mechanism, which in turn drives the driven chain, resulting in lifting and lowering.
