[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a photovoltaic cell flipping assembly according to one embodiment of this utility model includes a base 1, a first rotating shaft 2, and multiple pairs of clamping assemblies. The first rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The clamping assemblies include support blocks 3, which are welded to the first rotating shaft 2. A first clamping plate 4 and a second clamping plate 5 are slidably connected to opposite end faces of the support blocks 3. The photovoltaic cell is conveyed to the adjacent clamping assemblies via a conveyor belt. When the first rotating shaft 2 rotates, the clamping assemblies cause the cell to rotate. When the first rotating shaft 2 rotates 180°, the cell rotates from one side of the first rotating shaft 2 to the other side, and the cell abuts against the conveyor belt on the other side, thus realizing the conversion of the front and back sides of the cell. The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 slide on both sides of the support block 3. When the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 slide out from the support block 3, the clamping gap between the first clamping plate 4 of the clamping assembly and the second clamping plate 5 of the adjacent clamping assembly decreases, thereby reducing the swaying amplitude of the cell.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a first sliding groove 301, a second sliding groove 302, and a third sliding groove 303 are provided on one end face of the support block 3. The first clamping plate 4 includes a first slider 401 and a second slider 402. The second clamping plate 5 includes a third slider 501 and a fourth slider 502. The first slider 401 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the first sliding groove 301, and the third slider 501 is slidably connected to the groove wall of the second sliding groove 302. The second slider 402 and the fourth slider 502 are both slidably connected to the groove wall of the third sliding groove 303. The first sliding groove 301 and the second sliding groove 302 are both arc-shaped grooves. The groove wall of the first sliding groove 301 restricts the sliding path of the first slider 401, and the groove wall of the second sliding groove 302 restricts the sliding path of the third slider 501, so that the sliding paths of the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 are both arcs centered on the axis of the first rotating shaft 2.

[0033] A shaft hole 304 is provided on one end face of the support block 3. An adjustment component 6 is rotatably connected inside the hole wall of the shaft hole 304. The adjustment component 6 can drive the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 to slide simultaneously, thereby quickly adjusting the size of the clamping opening.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting assembly 6 includes a second rotating shaft 601, which is rotatably connected within a shaft hole 304. A first rack 403 is integrally formed on one side of the second slider 402, and a second rack 503 is integrally formed on one side of the fourth slider 502. A second gear 603, meshing with the first rack 403, is integrally formed on the outer side of the second rotating shaft 601. A first gear 602, meshing with the second rack 503, is integrally formed on one side of the second gear 603. Because the radius of the first rack 403 is larger than the radius of the second rack 503, and the radius of the second gear 603 is larger than the radius of the first gear 602, when the adjusting assembly 6 rotates, the first gear 602 and the second gear 603 rotate synchronously, causing the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 to slide the same distance in the circumferential direction, thereby simultaneously reducing the same distance from both sides of the clamping opening. First anti-collision pads 8 are attached to one side of both the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5. The first anti-collision pads 8 can reduce the collision between the battery cells and the flipping assembly.

[0035] A rotating handle 604 is welded to one end face of the second shaft 601, which allows the first gear 602 and the second gear 603 to be rotated easily.

[0036] The outer end face of the second rotating shaft 601 is integrally formed with a limiting gear 606, and a locking component 7 matching the limiting gear 606 is welded to one side end face of the support block 3.

[0037] like Figure 7As shown, the locking assembly 7 includes a second housing 702. A fourth sliding groove 703 is formed on one end face of the second housing 702. A sliding rod 704 is slidably connected in the groove wall of the fourth sliding groove 703. A first spring 705 is provided in the groove wall of the fourth sliding groove 703. The first spring 705 abuts against one end face of the sliding rod 704. A locking block 706 that meshes with a limiting gear 606 is rotatably connected to one end face of the sliding rod 704. The first spring 705 applies a pushing force to the sliding rod 704, which pushes the locking block 706, causing the locking block 706 to abut against the limiting gear 606, thereby preventing the adjusting assembly 6 from rotating and fixing the positions of the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5, preventing the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 from sliding freely.

[0038] A circular hole 708 is provided on one end face of the locking block 706. The sliding rod 704 is rotatably connected to the wall of the circular hole 708. A limiting ring 707 is welded to one end face of the sliding rod 704. The limiting ring 707 holds the locking block 706 in place, allowing the locking block 706 to slide with the sliding rod 704. When the sliding rod 704 drives the locking block 706 away from the limiting gear 606, the adjusting component 6 can rotate.

[0039] A fifth sliding groove 709 is provided on one end face of the second housing 702. A limiting rod 710 is welded to the outer wall of the sliding rod 704, and the limiting rod 710 slides within the groove wall of the fifth sliding groove 709. When the sliding rod 704 drives the locking block 706 away from the limiting gear 606, the limiting rod 710 is engaged within the groove wall of the fifth sliding groove 709, which can fix the position of the sliding rod 704, thereby facilitating the rotation of the adjusting assembly 6.

[0040] A first housing 701 matching the limiting gear 606 is welded to one end face of the support block 3. The first housing 701 is welded together with the second housing 702, thereby protecting the limiting gear 606.

[0041] The top end face of the first housing 701 is provided with scale lines, and an indicator block 605 is welded to one side end face of the rotating handle 604. The indicator block 605 can indicate the rotation angle of the adjustment component 6, thereby determining the sliding distance of the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5, so as to ensure that the sliding distance of the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 on each clamping component is the same, thereby enhancing the rotation stability of the photovoltaic cell flipping component.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple anti-collision components 9 are welded on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 2. The anti-collision components 9 are located between multiple pairs of clamping components. The anti-collision components 9 can buffer the solar cells and reduce the collision intensity between the edge of the solar cell and the photovoltaic cell flipping component.

[0043] like Figure 8As shown, the anti-collision component 9 includes a lower housing 901 and an upper housing 903. The lower housing 901 is welded to the first rotating shaft 2, and the upper housing 903 is slidably connected inside the lower housing 901. Multiple second springs 902 are welded inside the lower housing 901, and each second spring 902 abuts against one end face of the upper housing 903. A pair of limiting blocks 904 are welded to the opposite end face of the upper housing 903. Limiting grooves 905 are formed on the opposite end faces of the lower housing 901, and the limiting blocks 904 slide within the groove walls of the limiting grooves 905. The second springs 902 lift the upper housing 903, and the limiting blocks 904 slide within the limiting grooves 905. This limits the sliding range of the upper housing 903. When the battery cell contacts the upper housing 903, it pushes the upper housing 903 to slide, and the second springs 902 act as a buffer, thereby reducing the contact force between the battery cell and the upper housing 903 and preventing the battery cell from being bumped.

[0044] A second anti-collision pad 906 is attached to one side of the upper housing 903. The second anti-collision pad 906 can reduce the impact between the battery cells and the flipping assembly.

[0045] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell is held between the first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 of the adjacent clamping assembly. When the first rotating shaft 2 rotates, it drives the clamping assembly to rotate, thereby driving the battery cell to rotate. After the first rotating shaft 2 rotates 180°, the battery cell is flipped. The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 are slidably connected to the support block 3. The first clamping plate 4 and the second clamping plate 5 can be controlled to slide the same distance simultaneously by adjusting the assembly 6. This allows the distance between the clamping openings of the adjacent clamping assemblies to be adjusted according to the needs of different battery cells, reducing the sliding amplitude of the battery cell and preventing collision damage. When the battery cell enters the clamping opening or rotates from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the battery cell will collide with the upper housing 903, causing the upper housing 903 to slide. The upper housing 903 compresses the second spring 902, which acts as a buffer, thereby reducing the force of the collision between the battery cell and the upper housing 903 and preventing the battery cell from being bumped.
