Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module processing technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module processing and cutting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic modules, also known as solar cell modules, are the core devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy. They are assembled and packaged from multiple solar cells in a specific manner and are the core component of a photovoltaic power generation system. Photovoltaic module processing and cutting equipment is a specialized automated equipment used in the photovoltaic industry chain to perform high-precision cutting, slicing, or trimming of photovoltaic raw materials.

The outer wall of the rack 2065 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the slider 2062. The gear 2063 meshes with the rack 2065. The tops of multiple moving blocks 204 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the sliders 2062 respectively.

Its position is fixed in the middle of the top wall, which can ensure the stability and accuracy during cutting and meet the cutting needs of photovoltaic modules of different sizes. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front end of the outer wall of the main body 1. The top of the support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second motor 3041. The support plate 4 provides a stable support for the second motor 3041, so that the second motor 3041 can remain stable during operation and avoid the displacement of the second motor 3041 due to vibration factors, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the linkage component 304 and ensuring that the expansion mechanism 3 can smoothly realize the adjustment of the table area.
[0023] Working principle: The clamping mechanism 2 uses mechanical clamping instead of air adsorption to solve the problem of unstable fixation caused by air leakage. The U-shaped support plate 201 is fixed on the top of the machine body 1, and the slide rail plate 205 at its bottom provides sliding guidance for the moving block 204. The motor 2061 of the drive component 206 is started, and the output end drives the gear 2063 to rotate. The gear 2063 meshes with the rack 2065 sliding inside the U-shaped block 2064, so that the rack 2065 drives the slider 2062 on the slide rail plate 205 to slide. Since the top of the moving block 204 is fixed to the bottom of the slider 2062, the moving block 204 will drive the long plate 202 and the suction cup 203 on the plate to move synchronously. The spacing of the suction cup 203 is adjusted according to the size of the photovoltaic module. The mechanical clamping component of the suction cup 203 is used to achieve stable fixation. Finally, the cutting head 6 completes the cutting process. T-shaped blocks 301 are equidistantly slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the machine body 1. The expansion plate 302 at the top of the T-shaped blocks 301 can move with the T-shaped blocks 301 to expand the bearing area. The linkage component 304 provides power and starts the motor 3041. Its output end drives the worm gear 3042 to rotate. The worm gear 3042 meshes with the worm wheel 3043 at the right end of the threaded rod 3044, which is rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the machine body 1, driving the threaded rod 3044 to rotate synchronously. Since the middle of the inner wall of the T-shaped blocks 301 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 3044, and the inner wall of the T-shaped blocks 301 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide post 3045 on the side adjacent to the fixed short plate 303, when the threaded rod 3044 rotates, the T-shaped blocks 301 will slide smoothly along the guide post 3045, driving the expansion plate 302 to extend and retract synchronously, realizing the adjustment of the tabletop area to adapt to the processing needs of photovoltaic modules of different sizes.
