Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar cell module laminator transmission technology, and more specifically to a laminator folding arm transmission transition mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the lamination process of solar cell modules, the material transition area between the laminator and the stacking platform is one of the key nodes in the entire production line. Due to differences in structure, function, and installation precision between the laminator and the stacking platform, there is often a horizontal gap of about 500mm between them. This gap can easily cause the following problems during module transport:

[0003] 1. When the components pass through the transition area, they sag or shift due to lack of continuous support, causing the edges to collide with the frame and resulting in a "frame jamming" phenomenon. This can cause minor scratches or microcracks on the component surface, or even direct shutdown, affecting the utilization rate of the entire production line.

[0004] 2. Existing technologies typically use fixed rollers or slides as transition supports. Although these can fill the gap to some extent, these transition components are rigidly fixed to the outlet end of the main unit, occupying the maintenance passage on the front of the main unit.

[0005] 3. When the laminator main unit needs routine maintenance, such as cleaning the heating plate or replacing the high-temperature cloth, the transition mechanism must be completely dismantled first, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Frequent dismantling and assembly can easily lead to a decrease in positioning accuracy and further aggravate the instability of component transmission.

[0006] 4. In addition, the fixed roller solution cannot meet the compatibility requirements of different component specifications, and the machine must be stopped when adjusting or replacing the roller, which reduces production flexibility.

[0007] Therefore, there is a structural contradiction between the existing transition mechanism and the requirement to "ensure continuous transmission" and "provide sufficient maintenance space". There is an urgent need for a new type of transition mechanism that can quickly switch between "support state" and "yield state" according to the working conditions, so as to meet the dual requirements of efficient production and convenient maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A laminator articulated arm transfer transition mechanism includes: a solar module laminator main unit and a stacking platform; and further includes: a transfer transition section disposed between the solar module laminator main unit and the stacking platform, the transfer transition section comprising:

[0011] A transition support is provided, one side of which is hinged to the frame of the solar module laminator main unit, and a roller conveyor assembly is provided on the transition support.

[0012] The folding arm cylinder has its two ends hinged to the frame of the solar module laminator and the transition support, respectively, and is located below the transition support. When the folding arm cylinder retracts, the transition support is horizontally arranged and can realize the transition transfer of solar modules between the solar module laminator and the stacking platform. When the folding arm cylinder extends, the transition support rotates and folds upward, so that a clearance maintenance channel is formed between the solar module laminator and the stacking platform.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, this utility model, using a hinged transition bracket + folding arm cylinder structure, enables the transition mechanism to switch between the two extreme positions of retraction-horizontal and extension-folding with only one pneumatic action. In production mode, the transition bracket unfolds horizontally, instantly filling the approximately 500mm gap between the main unit and the stacking platform where the roller conveyor assembly is located, preventing the assembly from falling, jamming, or colliding due to loss of support, thus improving the utilization rate. In maintenance mode, the cylinder extends, causing the entire bracket to flip upwards, creating a dual maintenance channel on the front and top at once. Workers can perform operations such as cleaning the heating plate and replacing the high-temperature cloth without removing screws or moving the rollers. The entire switching process is completed by the same pneumatic system, requiring no additional power source. The structure is simple, with few points of failure, ensuring the reliability of continuous transmission and fundamentally solving the long-standing structural contradiction between "support" and "yielding".

[0014] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, a rotating support plate is fixed on the frame of the solar module laminator main unit, and both ends of one side of the transition bracket are rotatably connected to the rotating support plate through rotating bearings. The hinge structure formed by the rotating support plate and the rotating bearings improves the coaxiality of the flipping, reduces off-center load sway, makes the cylinder thrust more stable, and extends the load-bearing life.

[0015] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, the roller transfer assembly includes rollers, a drive motor, transmission sprockets, and drive chains; there are multiple rollers, rotatably connected to the transition support; the drive motor is mounted on the outside of the transition support, with its power output end extending into the inside of the transition support; there are multiple transmission sprockets, mounted on the end of the roller near the drive motor and on the power output end of the drive motor; there are multiple drive chains, sequentially connecting the transmission sprockets on the drive motor and the transmission sprockets on the multiple rollers, thereby realizing the transmission of rotational power of the rollers. The motor synchronously drives multiple rollers via sprockets and chains, ensuring consistent conveying speed over long distances, reducing component slippage and edge damage, and maintenance only requires tensioning the chain.

[0016] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, anti-friction rubber rings are spaced and fitted on the rollers. The rubber rings increase friction and absorb impact, preventing direct contact between the glass or backing plate and the metal rollers, and significantly reducing the probability of microcracks and scratches.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, an auxiliary support mounting frame is fixed to the bottom of the transition bracket. The auxiliary support mounting frame is provided with multiple auxiliary support components, which are located between two adjacent rollers. The auxiliary support components fill the gaps between the rollers, preventing thin components from sagging; multi-point support distributes the load, making the transfer surface flatter.

[0018] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, the auxiliary support includes a mounting frame fixed on the auxiliary support mounting bracket, and multiple support rollers rotatably connected within the mounting frame. The support rollers roll with the component, changing sliding to rolling, resulting in low resistance and low wear, while also providing lateral guidance to reduce deviation.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, a contact sensor is installed on the auxiliary support mounting frame. The contact sensor provides a real-time "component in place" signal, which can be interlocked with the main unit to prevent idling or impact, thereby improving automation safety.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, a mechanical support is fixed at the bottom of the frame of the solar module laminator main unit. The mechanical support is located below the transition bracket and is used to support the transition bracket. The mechanical support forms a rigid fulcrum at the horizontal position, shares the axial force of the cylinder, reduces the long-term stress deformation of the bracket, and maintains the flatness of the conveyor.

[0021] Preferably, in the above-mentioned laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, the transition bracket rotates upward 90° when folded. Folding upward 90° maximizes the clearance passage, allowing personnel to stand and work directly without disassembling the transition components, reducing maintenance time from hours to minutes.

[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. One-click flip: The cylinder-driven bracket can switch instantly between "horizontal support" and "90° folding", balancing continuous transmission and rapid repositioning.

[0024] 2. Stable conveying: The sprocket-chain synchronous multi-roller + rubber ring + auxiliary rollers prevent sagging, scratches and deviation.

[0025] 3. Fast maintenance: When folded, the front and top channels are fully open, eliminating the need for disassembly and reducing maintenance time from hours to minutes.

[0026] 4. Long service life: The rotating support plate and mechanical support share the load, reducing cylinder and bracket deformation and improving reliability.

[0027] 5. Intelligent: Built-in contact sensors detect component placement in real time and can be interlocked with the main unit to ensure safety. Attached Figure Description

[0042] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This utility model discloses a laminator folding arm transfer transition mechanism, including: a solar module laminator main unit 1 and a stacking platform 2; and further including: a transfer transition section 3 disposed between the solar module laminator main unit 1 and the stacking platform 2, the transfer transition section 3 including:

[0043] The transition support 31 is hinged to the frame of the solar module laminator 1 on one side, and the transition support 31 is equipped with a roller conveyor assembly 33.

[0044] The folding arm cylinder 32 has its two ends hinged to the frame of the solar module laminator 1 and the transition support 31, respectively, and is located below the transition support 31. When the folding arm cylinder 32 retracts, the transition support 31 is arranged horizontally and can realize the transition transfer of solar modules between the solar module laminator 1 and the stacking platform 2. When the folding arm cylinder 32 extends, the transition support 31 rotates and folds upward, so that a clearance maintenance channel is formed between the solar module laminator 1 and the stacking platform 2.

[0045] To further optimize the above technical solution, a rotating support plate 11 is fixed on the frame of the solar module laminator 1, and the two ends of one side of the transition bracket 31 are rotatably connected to the rotating support plate 11 through rotating bearings.

[0046] To further optimize the above technical solution, the roller transmission assembly 33 includes rollers 331, drive motor 332, transmission sprockets 333, and drive chains 334. There are multiple rollers 331, which are rotatably connected to the transition bracket 31. The drive motor 332 is installed on the outside of the transition bracket 31, and its power output end extends into the inside of the transition bracket 31. There are multiple transmission sprockets 333, which are installed on the end of the roller 331 near the drive motor 332 and on the power output end of the drive motor 332. There are multiple drive chains 334, which are sequentially connected to the transmission sprockets 333 on the drive motor 332 and the transmission sprockets 333 on the multiple rollers 331, thereby realizing the transmission of rotational power of the rollers 331.

[0047] To further optimize the above technical solution, anti-friction rubber rings 3311 are provided on the roller 331 at intervals.

[0048] See appendix Figure 4 The bottom of the transition bracket 31 is fixed with an auxiliary support mounting frame 34, and the auxiliary support mounting frame 34 is provided with a plurality of auxiliary support members 35, which are located between two adjacent rollers 331.

[0049] See appendix Figure 5 The auxiliary support 35 includes a mounting frame 351 fixed on the auxiliary support mounting bracket 34, and multiple support rollers 352 rotatably connected within the mounting frame 351.

[0050] To further optimize the above technical solution, a contact sensor 36 is installed on the auxiliary support mounting bracket 34.

[0051] To further optimize the above technical solution, a mechanical support 4 is fixed at the bottom of the frame of the solar module laminator 1. The mechanical support 4 is located below the transition support 31 and is used to support the transition support 31.

[0052] To further optimize the above technical solution, when the transition bracket 31 is folded, it is rotated upward by 90°.

[0053] After the solar cell modules are laminated in the main unit 1 of the solar cell module laminator, they flow into the stacking platform 2 through the transfer transition section 3. In order to ensure the smoothness of the transfer when the equipment is working normally, a mechanical support 4 is added to the bottom of the transfer transition section 3. When the equipment is working normally, the folding arm cylinder 32 is in the retracted state, and the roller 331 is in the horizontal state. The modules are transferred under the drive of the drive motor 332.

[0054] When the articulated arm cylinder 32 extends, the roller 331 rotates 90° around the rotating support plate 11, thus opening the maintenance passage for maintenance personnel to carry out maintenance or repair work.

[0055] Adding a transfer transition section between the laminator main unit and the stacking platform not only meets the requirements for transfer support during normal operation, but also allows the rollers to bend 90 degrees during equipment maintenance, ensuring that maintenance personnel have sufficient space for maintenance.
