Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic production technology, and in particular to a tape recycling device and a tape tearing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of photovoltaic modules, to prevent air bubbles from forming during lamination, adhesive tape is typically used to seal the long and short sides of the modules before lamination. After lamination, a tape-tearing device is used to remove the tape from the photovoltaic modules. However, after the tape-tearing device has been operating for a period of time, operators need to stop the machine to clean the tape inside, which reduces production efficiency and wastes manpower. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tape recycling device and a tape tearing machine to improve production efficiency and save manpower.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a tape recycling device, including a recycling bin and a conveying mechanism. The recycling bin is disposed outside the tape tearing device, and at least a portion of the conveying mechanism is disposed inside the tape tearing device. The output end of the conveying mechanism is correspondingly disposed to the recycling bin. The conveying mechanism is used to receive tape torn from photovoltaic modules and convey the torn tape into the recycling bin.

[0005] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying module and a second conveying module. The first conveying module extends along a first direction of the tape recycling device, and the second conveying module extends along a second direction of the tape recycling device. The first conveying module is used to receive tape torn from the photovoltaic module and convey the tape to the second conveying module. The second conveying module is used to receive tape on the first conveying module and convey the tape to the recycling bin. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0006] In one embodiment, the input end of the first conveying module is used to receive the tape torn from the photovoltaic module, and the output end of the first conveying module is connected to the second conveying module, or the output end of the first conveying module is located above the second conveying module; the output end of the second conveying module is connected to the recycling bin, or the output end of the second conveying module is located above the recycling bin.

[0007] In one embodiment, the second conveying module has at least one of the first conveying modules on opposite sides of the first direction.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second conveying module has two first conveying modules on each of the opposite sides of the first direction, and the two first conveying modules on the same side of the second conveying module are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0009] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device further includes a material box with a material cavity, an inlet at the top of the material box communicating with the material cavity, an outlet on the side of the material box communicating with the material cavity, and at least one end of the first conveying module being disposed in the material cavity via the outlet.

[0010] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device further includes a first stop, a second stop, and a third stop. The first stop is located on the side of the second conveying module away from the recycling bin, and the second stop and the third stop are respectively located at both ends of the second conveying module in the first direction and both extend along the second direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device further includes a first weighing element disposed on the first conveying module. The first weighing element is used to measure the weight of the tape in the first conveying module. The first conveying module is communicatively connected to the first weighing element. When the weight of the tape in the first conveying module reaches a predetermined weight, the first conveying module operates.

[0012] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device further includes a second weighing element disposed on the second conveying module. The second weighing element is used to measure the weight of the tape in the second conveying module. The second conveying module is communicatively connected to the second weighing element. When the weight of the tape in the second conveying module reaches a predetermined weight, the second conveying module operates.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides a tape-tearing machine, comprising:

[0014] Tape-tearing device; and

[0015] In any of the above-mentioned tape recycling devices, the recycling bin is located outside the tape-tearing device, and at least a portion of the conveying mechanism is located inside the tape-tearing device.

[0016] In the aforementioned tape recycling device and tape tearing machine, the tearing mechanism tears the tape off the photovoltaic modules. The tape torn from the photovoltaic modules falls onto the conveying mechanism, which transports the tape to a recycling bin for storage. Since the recycling bin is located outside the tape tearing device, operators can clean the tape inside from outside the machine, eliminating the need to stop the tape tearing device, thus improving production efficiency and saving manpower.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] See Figure 2 An embodiment of this application provides a tape-tearing machine, including a tape-tearing device. The tape-tearing device includes a frame and a tearing mechanism 20. The frame has a receiving cavity, and the tearing mechanism 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The tearing mechanism 20 is used to tear the tape on the photovoltaic module 30.

[0024] Optionally, the tearing mechanism 20 is a robotic arm. Of course, in other embodiments, the tearing mechanism 20 may also be a clamp or the like, and is not limited thereto.

[0025] During operation, after the photovoltaic module 30 is transported into the receiving cavity, the tearing mechanism 20 tears off the tape on the photovoltaic module 30 to peel the tape off the photovoltaic module 30.

[0026] However, when the torn tape falls into the receiving cavity, if too much tape accumulates in the cavity, the tape-tearing device will alarm and stop. Operators will then have to clean the tape out of the cavity, which reduces production efficiency and wastes manpower.

[0027] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tape tearing machine also includes a tape recycling device 10. The tape recycling device 10 includes a recycling bin 11 and a conveying mechanism 12. The recycling bin 11 is located outside the tape tearing machine. At least a portion of the conveying mechanism 12 is located within a receiving cavity, and the output end of the conveying mechanism 12 is correspondingly positioned to the recycling bin 11. The conveying mechanism 12 is used to receive the tape torn from the photovoltaic module 30 and convey the torn tape into the recycling bin 11.

[0028] During operation, the tearing mechanism 20 tears the tape off the photovoltaic module 30. The tape torn from the photovoltaic module 30 falls onto the conveying mechanism 12, which transports the tape to the recycling bin 11 for storage. Since the recycling bin 11 is located outside the tape tearing device, operators can clean the tape inside the recycling bin 11 from outside the tape tearing machine, eliminating the need to stop the tape tearing device, thus improving production efficiency and saving manpower.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 12 includes a first conveying module 121 and a second conveying module 122. The first conveying module 121 extends along a first direction, and the second conveying module 122 extends along a second direction. The first and second directions intersect. Optionally, the first and second directions are perpendicular. X represents the first direction, and Y represents the second direction.

[0030] Optionally, see Figure 3 The first direction is parallel to the long side of the photovoltaic module 30, and the second direction is parallel to the short side of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0031] Optionally, both the first conveying module 121 and the second conveying module 122 are pulley modules.

[0032] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first conveying module 121 is used to receive the tape torn off from the photovoltaic module 30 and convey the tape to the second conveying module 122. The second conveying module 122 is used to receive the tape on the first conveying module 121 and convey the tape to the recycling bin 11.

[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the first direction, the input end of the first conveying module 121 is used to receive the tape torn from the photovoltaic module 30. The output end of the first conveying module 121 is connected to the second conveying module 122, or the output end of the first conveying module 121 is located above the second conveying module 122. The output end of the second conveying module 122 is connected to the recycling bin 11, or the output end of the second conveying module 122 is located above the recycling bin 11.

[0034] During operation, the torn tape falls onto the first conveyor module 121, which then transports it to the second conveyor module 122, which in turn transports it to the recycling bin 11. This segmented conveying method allows for flexible adjustment of the operating status of the first and second conveyor modules 121 and 122 based on factors such as the weight of the tape. Furthermore, it enables flexible adjustment of the conveying path based on the tape's peeling condition and recycling location.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second conveying module 122 has at least one first conveying module 121 on each of its opposite sides in the first direction. When the photovoltaic module 30 is conveyed to the designated position, the second conveying module 122 is located below the middle of the photovoltaic module 30 in the first direction, and the end of the first conveying module 121 facing away from the second conveying module 122 extends at least to below the corner of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0036] Optionally, a first conveying module 121 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the second conveying module 122 in the first direction. It should be noted that the length of the first conveying module 121 in the second direction is greater than or equal to the length of the photovoltaic module 30 in the second direction, so as to ensure that the tape torn from the periphery of the photovoltaic module 30 can fall into the first conveying module 121.

[0037] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The second conveying module 122 has two first conveying modules 121 on each side of the second conveying module 122 in the first direction, and the two first conveying modules 121 on the same side of the second conveying module 122 are spaced apart along the second direction. It should be noted that the spacing between the two first conveying modules 121 on the same side of the second conveying module 122 is adapted to the length of the photovoltaic module 30 in the second direction. For example, the spacing between the central axes of the two first conveying modules 121 on the same side of the second conveying module 122 is equal to the length of the photovoltaic module 30 in the second direction. This ensures that the tape torn from around the photovoltaic module 30 falls onto the first conveying modules 121. Thus, by setting four first conveying modules 121, each operating independently, each first conveying module 121 can be flexibly started or stopped according to the weight of the tape on it, which helps reduce operating costs.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The tape recycling device 10 also includes a material box 13, which has a material cavity 131. The top of the material box 13 has an inlet 132, which communicates with the material cavity 131. The side of the material box 13 has an outlet 133, which communicates with the material cavity 131. At least one end of the first conveying module 121 is located within the material cavity 131 via the outlet 133. During operation, the tape torn from the photovoltaic module 30 falls into the first conveying module 121 through the inlet 132. By setting up the material box 13, the sidewalls of the material box 13 can block the tape on the first conveying module 121, allowing the tape to accumulate on the first conveying module 121. Once the tape on the first conveying module 121 has accumulated to a certain weight, the first conveying module 121 conveys the tape in the material cavity 131 to the second conveying module 122, thus reducing operating costs.

[0039] Optionally, the material box 13 has a square structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the material box 13 may also be elliptical or the like, and is not limited thereto.

[0040] Optionally, one end of the first conveying module 121, away from the second conveying module 122, is located within the material cavity 131. This can save costs.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the first conveying module 121 may be entirely located within the material cavity 131. In this way, the sidewall of the material box 13 can block the tape on the first conveying module 121, preventing the tape on the first conveying module 121 from falling into the tape tearing device during the conveying process.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 1The tape recycling device 10 also includes a first stop 141, a second stop 142, and a third stop 143. The first stop 141 is located at the end of the second conveying module 122 opposite to the recycling bin 11. The second stop 142 and the third stop 143 are respectively located at both ends of the second conveying module 122 in a first direction and extend along a second direction. In this way, the first stop 141, the second stop 142, and the third stop 143 all block the tape on the second conveying module 122, preventing the tape on the second conveying module 122 from falling into the inside of the tape tearing device.

[0043] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device 10 further includes a first weighing element. The first weighing element is disposed on the first conveying module 121 and is used to measure the weight of the tape on the first conveying module 121.

[0044] Furthermore, the first conveying module 121 is communicatively connected to the first weighing element. When the weight of the tape on the first conveying module 121 reaches a predetermined weight, the first conveying module 121 operates. Thus, when there is less tape on the first conveying module 121, the first conveying module 121 does not operate, which helps to reduce energy consumption; when there is more tape on the first conveying module 121, the first conveying module 121 operates, promptly conveying the tape to the recycling bin 11.

[0045] In one embodiment, the tape recycling device 10 further includes a second weighing element. The second weighing element is disposed on the second conveying module 122 and is used to measure the weight of the tape on the second conveying module 122.

[0046] Furthermore, the second conveying module 122 is communicatively connected to the second weighing element. When the weight of the tape on the second conveying module 122 reaches a predetermined weight, the second conveying module 122 operates. Thus, when there is less tape on the second conveying module 122, the second conveying module 122 does not operate, which helps to reduce energy consumption; when there is more tape on the second conveying module 122, the second conveying module 122 operates, promptly conveying the tape to the recycling bin 11.
