Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module processing equipment technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module recycling and processing feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the first batch of photovoltaic modules put into use are gradually reaching their designed service life, resulting in a massive amount of scrapped photovoltaic modules in the future. How to efficiently and environmentally recycle these modules has become a crucial issue that the industry urgently needs to address. In automated recycling production lines, the feeding device is a key link connecting the incoming materials with the subsequent refined dismantling and sorting processes.

[0003] In existing recycling processes, the material feeding stage typically uses a simple conveyor belt for material transport. However, the recycling scenario faces a core challenge: the photovoltaic modules to be processed come from extremely diverse sources, with varying specifications, dimensions, thicknesses, and other parameters, making them non-standardized incoming materials.

[0004] The non-standardized nature of the incoming materials means that simple conveyor belts cannot guarantee that each photovoltaic module has a uniform and precise position and orientation when it is transported to the next workstation. Subsequent automated equipment, such as robotic arms responsible for disassembling the frames or laser heads for dicing, relies on precise coordinate positioning for their operations. When there are deviations in the position and height of the photovoltaic modules, the automated equipment cannot accurately perform its tasks.

[0005] Therefore, to compensate for this precision deficiency, existing production lines have to add a large number of manual positions, with workers responsible for manually centering, aligning, and confirming the height of each component during the feeding process. This not only significantly reduces the automation level and production efficiency of the entire recycling and processing line and increases high labor costs, but also poses potential safety risks to on-site workers. Currently, the market urgently needs an integrated device that can automatically adapt to components of different specifications and provide standardized feeding.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a photovoltaic module recycling and feeding device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a photovoltaic module recycling and feeding device, which aims to improve the problems of low automation, incompatibility with different specifications of modules, poor feeding and positioning accuracy, and low efficiency due to reliance on manual intervention in the existing photovoltaic module recycling and feeding devices.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A photovoltaic module recycling and feeding device includes a conveyor belt; an alignment component installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt; and an adjustment component disposed below the conveyor belt.

[0009] The positioning component includes an electric push rod, a first sliding block, a connecting rod, a second sliding block, and a guide plate; the adjustment component includes a motor, a bidirectional screw connected to the output end of the motor, a slider threaded to the bidirectional screw, a connecting plate, an auxiliary support rod, and a second support block for supporting the conveyor belt.

Through this combination of linkage mechanisms, the horizontal movement of the slider is converted into the vertical lifting and lowering of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning component further includes a bracket, a first slide rail, and a second slide rail; the electric push rod is fixed by the bracket, the first sliding block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first slide rail, and the second sliding block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second slide rail.

[0013] Preferably, the alignment component includes two sets of guide plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the electric push rod or another driving device drives the two sets of guide plates to move synchronously towards or away from each other.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a base plate and a third slide rail; the motor is fixed to the top of the base plate, and the slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the third slide rail.

[0015] Preferably, the adjustment assembly further includes a fixing block, which rotatably supports the end of the bidirectional screw away from the motor to improve the stability of the screw during rotation.

[0016] Preferably, the bidirectional screw has two sections with opposite thread directions, which are respectively threaded to the two sliders to drive the two sliders to move synchronously towards or away from each other, so as to ensure the smoothness of the lifting process.

[0017] Preferably, the photovoltaic module recycling and feeding device further includes a photoelectric sensor and a vision camera. The photoelectric sensor is disposed on one side of the conveyor belt to detect the module's arrival, and the vision camera is mounted above the conveyor belt to identify the module type information.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, by integrating the alignment component for horizontal centering of photovoltaic modules and the adjustment component for vertical lifting of the conveyor belt, the problem of low automation, slow feeding efficiency and unstable positioning accuracy caused by the need for manual handling, alignment and height adjustment during the feeding of photovoltaic module processing equipment in the prior art is solved. This achieves the technical effect of integrated and automated feeding pre-processing of photovoltaic modules, significantly improving production efficiency and the docking accuracy of subsequent processes.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a vision camera and linking it with the positioning component and the adjustment component, the problem of the photovoltaic modules in the recycling line having diverse sources and different models, and the traditional feeding device being unable to automatically identify and make adaptive adjustments, resulting in poor flexibility, is solved.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a photovoltaic module recycling and feeding device, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that when faced with recycled photovoltaic modules of different specifications, it is impossible to automatically identify, center and position them and adjust the feeding height, resulting in low efficiency of subsequent processing and reliance on manual labor.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic module processing equipment includes a conveyor belt 1, a positioning component 2 installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt 1, and an adjustment component 3 located below the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is used to transport photovoltaic modules, the positioning component 2 is used to center the photovoltaic modules on the conveyor belt 1 laterally, and the adjustment component 3 is used to raise and lower the conveyor belt 1 as a whole to adjust its working height.

[0026] Specifically, the structure of the positioning component 2 includes an electric push rod 204 fixed by a bracket 201. The electric push rod 204 drives and connects to a first sliding block 205. The first sliding block 205 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first slide rail 202. The first sliding block 205 is rotatably connected to a second sliding block 207 through a connecting rod 206. The second sliding block 207 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second slide rail 203. The second sliding block 207 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 209 through a connecting post 208. Under the drive of the electric push rod 204, the first sliding block 205 and the second sliding block 207 slide on their respective slide rails. Finally, the connecting post 208 drives the guide plate 209 to move, thereby realizing the lateral pushing and positioning of the photovoltaic module.

[0027] The structure of the adjustment component 3 includes a motor 303 fixed to the top of the base plate 301. The output end of the motor 303 is connected to a bidirectional screw 304. The end of the bidirectional screw 304 away from the motor 303 is rotatably supported by a fixed block 305. A slider 306 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 304 and slidably connected to the outer wall of the third slide rail 302. The slider 306 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 307. The connecting plate 307 is hinged to an auxiliary support rod 308 and is connected to a second support block 310 for supporting the conveyor belt 1. The other end of the auxiliary support rod 308 is rotatably connected to a first support block 309. The motor 303 drives the bidirectional screw 304 to rotate, causing the slider 306 to move along the third slide rail 302. Then, through the linkage mechanism composed of the connecting plate 307 and the auxiliary support rod 308, the second support block 310 is driven to rise and fall smoothly, thereby completing the adjustment of the height of the conveyor belt 1.

[0028] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the core of the technical solution of this embodiment is to set up a uniquely structured positioning component 2 and to form a specific structural fit and connection relationship between the positioning component 2 and the conveyor belt 1, so as to achieve precise lateral centering positioning of the photovoltaic module.

[0029] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The core structure of the orthogonal component 2 will be described in detail below: The positioning component 2 includes a bracket 201, a first slide rail 202, a second slide rail 203, an electric push rod 204, a first sliding block 205, a connecting rod 206, a second sliding block 207, a connecting column 208, and a guide plate 209. The electric push rod 204, as a power source, is fixedly installed on the bottom structure of the conveyor belt 1 through the bracket 201. Its output end drives and connects to the first sliding block 205. The first sliding block 205 slides against the outer wall of the first slide rail 202, so that it can reciprocate along the length direction of the first slide rail 202 under the drive of the electric push rod 204.

[0030] Meanwhile, the first sliding block 205 is rotatably connected to the second sliding block 207 via the connecting rod 206. The second sliding block 207 is correspondingly slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the second slide rail 203. The second sliding block 207 is then fixedly connected to the guide plate 209 via the connecting post 208. This linkage slider mechanism, consisting of the first sliding block 205, the connecting rod 206, and the second sliding block 207, can accurately convert the linear motion of the electric push rod 204 into the translational motion of the guide plate 209. Its function is to provide lateral thrust for the photovoltaic modules on the conveyor belt 1 for position calibration.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the positioning component 2 includes two sets of the above-mentioned structures symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. The guide plates 209 in the two sets of structures are located on the left and right sides of the photovoltaic module, respectively, and are synchronously driven by the same electric push rod 204 or another driving device to ensure that the guide plates 209 on both sides can move towards or away from each other synchronously. This symmetrical clamping structure ensures high stability and high precision in the centering and positioning process of the photovoltaic module.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions: In a preferred embodiment, to provide a stable mounting base for the adjustment assembly 3 and achieve precise guidance, the adjustment assembly 3 also includes a base plate 301 and a third slide rail 302. The motor 303 is fixed to the top of the base plate 301 to provide power for the entire lifting action. The slider 306 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the third slide rail 302 to ensure the stability of the slider 306 in the horizontal direction. In order to further ensure the stability of the bidirectional screw 304 during rotation, the adjustment assembly 3 also includes a fixing block 305. The fixing block 305 rotatably supports the end of the bidirectional screw 304 away from the motor 303 to prevent the screw from deflecting or vibrating when subjected to force.

[0033] As another preferred embodiment, in order to achieve synchronous and smooth lifting of the scissor lift mechanism, the bidirectional screw 304 has two sections of threads with opposite thread directions. Correspondingly, the adjusting component 3 includes two sliders 306, which are respectively threaded to the two sections of threads with opposite thread directions on the bidirectional screw 304. When the motor 303 drives the bidirectional screw 304 to rotate, the two sliders 306 can move towards or away from each other synchronously, thereby ensuring the smooth vertical lifting of the second support block 310.

[0034] In another preferred embodiment, in order to achieve automated control and intelligent identification of the device, the device also includes a photoelectric sensor 4 and a vision camera 5. The photoelectric sensor 4 is set on one side of the conveyor belt 1 to detect whether the photovoltaic module has been delivered to the correct position. The vision camera 5 is mounted above the conveyor belt 1 to capture images of the photovoltaic module in order to identify its type and read barcode information.

[0035] Working principle: First, the photovoltaic module is placed on the conveyor belt 1 and begins to be transported. When the photovoltaic module moves to the designated position, the photoelectric sensor 4 set on one side of the conveyor belt 1 detects the signal and controls the conveyor belt 1 to stop moving. At this time, the vision camera 5 set above the conveyor belt 1 takes a picture of the stationary photovoltaic module, identifies its model information and reads the barcode, and uploads the data to the upper control system.

[0036] After data recognition is completed, the positioning component 2 starts working. The electric push rod 204 fixed on the bracket 201 is activated, driving the first sliding block 205 to slide along the outer wall of the first slide rail 202. The first sliding block 205 drives the second sliding block 207 to slide along the outer wall of the second slide rail 203 through the rotating connecting rod 206. The second sliding block 207 then drives the guide plate 209 to move to the side of the photovoltaic module through the connecting column 208. Through the synchronous opposite movement of the two sets of symmetrically arranged guide plates 209, the photovoltaic module is clamped, thereby accurately positioning it on the center line of the conveyor belt 1.

[0037] After the photovoltaic module is centered, the adjustment component 3 starts working. The motor 303, fixed on the base plate 301, starts and drives the bidirectional screw 304 to rotate. Since the bidirectional screw 304 has two threads with opposite directions, its rotation will drive the two threaded sliders 306 to move synchronously towards or away from each other along the third slide rail 302. The horizontal movement of the sliders 306 is converted into the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the second support block 310 through the rotating connecting plate 307 and the hinged auxiliary support rod 308. Since the second support block 310 supports the conveyor belt 1, the working height of the entire conveyor belt 1 is finally adjusted smoothly and accurately.
