Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic module production technology, and in particular relates to a binding device. Background Technology

[0002] When packaging photovoltaic (PV) modules, each stack requires a pallet, with a separator paper placed on it. The pallet and separator paper are then moved onto a trolley, where PV modules and separator paper are stacked sequentially. Separators are used between the pallet and the PV modules, and between every two layers of PV modules, to prevent friction and scratches. After a set number of PV modules are stacked, the stack is strapped and packaged to form a package of PV modules. A previous patent application (patent number 2025210984570) described a sheet metal flipping unit, flipping mechanism, and feeding device. In this method, after placing a separator paper on the pallet, the pallet and separator paper are directly moved onto the trolley. However, because the separator paper is very thin and lightweight, misalignment can occur between the separator paper and the pallet during transport. To solve this problem, a device needs to be designed to secure the pallet and separator paper together.

[0003] In the prior art, the pallet fastening device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN203509528U includes a plate supply fastening unit, which comprises multiple nail gun units capable of fastening corner strips to the pallet. However, this solution still has the following problems:

[0004] (1) It is not stated whether the pallet and the divider are aligned. If the pallet and the divider are offset before binding, they cannot be used after binding and need to be reworked, which will reduce the binding efficiency.

[0005] (2) The scheme does not specify whether it can be used for other pallets of different sizes. If it can only be used for binding operations on pallets of fixed sizes, then a variety of binding equipment will be needed for pallets of different sizes, which will increase production costs.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a binding device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a binding device that can solve the problem of material position deviation, improve the binding quality, and also realize the binding action of materials of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the binding equipment.

[0008] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a binding device, comprising a support frame, a straightening mechanism disposed on the support frame for straightening the material around its perimeter, and a binding module for performing binding actions. The support frame is provided with a binding area, the straightening mechanism is disposed around the binding area, and the binding module includes a first support plate, a Z-axis drive component disposed on the first support plate, a mounting frame driven by the Z-axis drive component to move along the Z direction, and a nail gun disposed on the mounting frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the correction mechanism includes a left correction module for correcting the left side of the material, a right correction module for correcting the right side of the material, a front correction module for correcting the front side of the material, and a rear correction module for correcting the rear side of the material.

[0010] Furthermore, the left alignment module and / or the right alignment module are movably mounted on the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the front alignment module includes a first alignment plate, a first movable frame on which the first alignment plate is mounted, and a Y-axis drive assembly for driving the first movable frame to move back and forth.

[0013] Furthermore, the support frame is detachably provided with a support component for supporting materials within the binding area, and the support frame is provided with a sensor for detecting whether there are materials placed in the binding area.

[0014] Furthermore, the binding module is provided on both the front and rear sides of the binding area. The binding module provided on the front side of the binding area is driven by the XY axis drive module to move in the XY direction, and the binding module provided on the rear side of the binding area is driven by the first X axis drive member to move in the X direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the binding modules located on the front and rear sides of the binding area are all driven by the XY axis drive module to move in the XY direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the XY axis drive module includes a Y-axis drive assembly, a moving beam driven by the Y-axis drive assembly to move in the Y direction, and a second X-axis drive component disposed on the moving beam.

[0017] Furthermore, a camera for taking pictures of the binding position is provided on the first support plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this binding device are as follows:

The left correction module, the right correction module, the front correction module, and the rear correction module are close to the edges of the board and the partition paper at the same time, and correct the four sides of the board and the partition paper to align the sides of the board and the partition paper. This can solve the problem of the position of the board and the partition paper being offset and improve the binding quality.

[0020] (2) The left and / or right alignment modules are movably mounted on the support frame, and the front and / or rear alignment modules are movably mounted on the support frame.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment is a binding device 100, which includes a support frame 1, a straightening mechanism 2 for straightening the board 200 and the partition paper around its perimeter, and a binding module 3 for binding the partition paper and the board 200 together. The support frame 1 is provided with a binding area 11, and the straightening mechanism 2 is arranged around the binding area 11.

[0035] The alignment mechanism 2 includes a left alignment module 21 for aligning the left side of the board 200 and the partition paper, a right alignment module 22 for aligning the right side of the board 200 and the partition paper, a front alignment module 23 for aligning the front side of the board 200 and the partition paper, and a rear alignment module 24 for aligning the rear side of the board 200 and the partition paper.

[0036] Both the left alignment module 21 and the right alignment module 22 include a third alignment plate 211 and a second alignment cylinder 212 that drives the third alignment plate 211 to move closer to or away from the side of the plate 200. The second alignment cylinder 212 is mounted on the support frame 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the left alignment module 21 and the right alignment module 22 have the same or similar structures. The left alignment module 21 and the right alignment module 22 are located on the long side of the plate 200. Therefore, two left alignment modules 21 and two right alignment modules 22 are arranged front and rear, corresponding to each other left and right, which ensures the stability of the alignment. In other embodiments, the number of left alignment modules 21 and right alignment modules 22 is not limited and can be set according to the actual situation.

[0038] To improve the versatility of the binding device 100 and enable the left alignment module 21 and right alignment module 22 to adapt to boards 200 of different widths, the left alignment module 21 and / or right alignment module 22 are movably mounted on the support frame 1. Specifically, the left alignment module 21 is fixed while the right alignment module 22 is movable, or the left alignment module 21 is movable while the right alignment module 22 is fixed, or both the left alignment module 21 and right alignment module 22 are movable. The movable left alignment module 21 and / or right alignment module 22 can be mounted on the support frame 1 via a slider rail and secured with screws. When the position of the left alignment module 21 and / or right alignment module 22 needs adjustment, the screws can be loosened; after adjusting the position, the screws are tightened again. The left alignment module 21 and / or right alignment module 22 can be set on the support frame 1 by means of a slider rail. With the help of the servo motor drive, the position of the left alignment module 21 and / or right alignment module 22 can be automatically adjusted so that when changing different sizes of sheet metal 200, one-click switching can be used in the control system.

[0039] The rear alignment module 24 includes a first alignment cylinder 241, a second moving frame 242 driven by the first alignment cylinder 241 to move back and forth, and a second alignment plate 243 disposed on the second moving frame 242 to align the side of the plate 200. The first alignment cylinder 241 is disposed on the support frame 1.

[0040] The front alignment module 23 includes a first alignment plate 231, a first movable frame 232 on which the first alignment plate 231 is mounted, and a Y-axis drive assembly 233 for driving the first movable frame 232 to move back and forth. The Y-axis drive assembly 233 is mounted on the support frame 1, and the first movable frame 232 is slidably mounted on the support frame 1 via a slide rail slider. The Y-axis drive assembly 233 includes a first motor 2331 and a first transmission belt 2332 driven by the first motor 2331 for rotational transmission. The first movable frame 232 is mounted on the first transmission belt 2332 via a first belt clip. The Y-axis drive assembly 233 drives the first movable frame 232, which in turn drives the first alignment plate 231 to move back and forth, thus adapting to boards 200 of the same length and improving the versatility of the binding device 100. That is, in this embodiment, the rear alignment module 24 is fixedly mounted, and the front alignment module 23 is movable back and forth, which can adapt to boards 200 of different lengths.

[0041] In other embodiments, the rear alignment module 24 can be movably positioned forward and backward, while the front alignment module 23 can be fixedly positioned, or both the rear alignment module 24 and the front alignment module 23 can be movably positioned forward and backward. Preferably, the front alignment module 23 and / or the rear alignment module 24, which are movably positioned on the support frame 1, are driven to move forward and backward by a servo motor. Other driving methods are also possible, depending on the actual situation, and are not limited here.

[0042] A sensor 13 is installed on the support frame 1 to detect whether there is material in the binding area 11. If the sensor 13 detects that there is material in the binding area 11, it sends a signal to cause the alignment mechanism 2 and the binding module 3 to perform corresponding actions in sequence. A support component 12 for supporting the plate 200 is installed on the support frame 1 within the binding area 11. The support component 12 is detachably mounted on the support frame 1 by fasteners (not shown in the figure). The fasteners can be bolts, screws, pins, or other fastening structures, and are not limited here. Since the plate 200 is relatively heavy, if the support is supported on the support frame 1, the support frame 1 is prone to wear or damage, resulting in high maintenance costs. Therefore, the support component 12 is detachably mounted on the support frame 1. If the surface of the support component 12 is prone to wear or damage, the support component 12 can be directly removed and replaced with a new one, avoiding damage to the support frame 1 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] Binding modules 3 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the binding area 11. In this embodiment, the binding module 3 located on the front side of the binding area 11 is driven by the XY axis drive module 4 to move in the XY direction, and the binding module 3 located on the rear side of the binding area 11 is driven by the first X-axis drive component 5 to move in the X direction. The XY axis drive module 4 and the first X-axis drive component 5 are both mounted on the support frame 1.

[0044] The XY axis drive module 4 includes a Y axis drive component 41, a moving beam 42 driven by the Y axis drive component 41 to move in the Y direction, and a second X axis drive component 43 disposed on the moving beam 42. The binding module 3 on the front side of the binding area 11 is connected to the second X axis drive component 43. The left and right sides of the moving beam 42 are slidably disposed on the support frame 1 by means of slide rail sliders.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first X-axis drive unit 5 and the second X-axis drive unit 43 are both linear drive modules, or they can be servo motors driving linear movement. Their specific structures are not limited.

[0046] The Y-axis drive assembly 41 includes a second motor 411, a rotating shaft 412 driven by the second motor 411 for rotational transmission, and a second transmission belt 413 wound around the rotating shaft 412. The moving beam 42 is mounted on the second transmission belt 413 by a second belt clamp, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the moving beam 42.

[0047] The second X-axis drive unit 43 and the first X-axis drive unit 5 enable the binding module 3 to move between the left and right sides of the board 200, so as to complete the binding of the left and right sides of the board 200, and also enable the binding operation of boards 200 of different widths; the Y-axis drive assembly 41 enables the binding module 3 at the front of the binding area 11 to move back and forth, so as to realize the binding operation at different positions, and also enable the binding operation of boards 200 of different lengths.

[0048] In other embodiments, the binding module 3 located on the rear side of the binding area 11 is driven by the XY axis drive module 4 to move in the XY direction, and the binding module 3 located on the front side of the binding area 11 is driven by the first X axis drive member 5 to move in the X direction. The XY axis drive module 4 and the first X axis drive member 5 are both located on the support frame 1.

[0049] In another embodiment, the binding modules 3 located on the front and rear sides of the binding area 11 are all driven by the XY axis drive module 4 to move in the XY direction, which can adapt to boards 200 of different lengths and widths.

[0050] The binding module 3 includes a first support plate 34, a Z-axis drive 31 disposed on the first support plate 34, a mounting frame 32 driven by the Z-axis drive 31 to move along the Z-axis, and a nail gun 33 disposed on the mounting frame 32.

[0051] The nail gun 33 is existing technology, and its specific structure is not limited. It can adopt the design of existing technology. It can refer to the structure of the automatic nail gun in the 1013 automatic nail gun and automatic nailing device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118849120A, or refer to the structure of the nail gun in the nail gun of the convenient nailing nail gun disclosed in Chinese Patent Authorization Announcement No. CN205904960U.

[0052] A camera (not shown in the figure) is installed on the first support plate 34 to take pictures of the binding position. The picture results are transmitted to the vision inspection system to check whether there is any abnormality in the binding status of the nails. If there is no abnormality, the board 200 with the binding paper is moved to the next work station. If there is an abnormality in the binding, an alarm will be set to prompt the staff to check and confirm.

[0053] When using the binding device 100 provided in this solution, the board 200 is first transported to the binding area 11 on the support frame 1, so that the board 200 is supported on the support member 12. Then, the spacer paper is placed on the surface of the board 200. The straightening mechanism 2 and the binding module 3 perform corresponding actions in sequence. The left straightening module 21, right straightening module 22, front straightening module 23, and rear straightening module 24 of the straightening mechanism 2 simultaneously approach the edges of the board 200 and the spacer paper, straightening the board 200 and the spacer paper around their perimeter, so that the sides of the board 200 and the spacer paper are aligned. This can solve the problem of the board 200 and the spacer paper being misaligned. After aligning with the spacer paper, the binding module 3 moves to the left corner of the board 200. The two binding modules 3 first complete the binding action on the two left corners, and the camera takes pictures of the binding position to check for any abnormalities. Then, the binding module 3 moves to the right corner of the board 200, and the two binding modules 3 first complete the binding action on the two right corners. The camera takes pictures of the binding position to check for any abnormalities. If there is an abnormality, an alarm is triggered to prompt the staff to check and confirm. If there is no abnormality, the binding is qualified and the board is moved to the next workstation. Then, a new board 200 and spacer paper are placed in the binding area 11 for the next round of binding operations.

[0054] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
