Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable solar panel conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Solar panels are typically installed at high locations and transported using hoisting equipment. Traditional hoisting methods require large cranes for control, which are difficult to maneuver in confined spaces. Furthermore, the hoisting ropes sway, resulting in poor stability and potential damage to the fragile solar panels. Existing conveyors are of fixed size and cannot accommodate solar panels of varying widths, exhibiting low versatility. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model first provides an adjustable solar panel conveyor, comprising a body and a lifting frame that are vertically and vertically connected to each other. The lifting frame is used to hold solar panels. First slide rails are provided on the left and right sides of the lifting frame, and first limiting members that slide vertically are detachably connected to the first slide rails. A second slide rail is provided at the bottom of the lifting frame, and second limiting members that slide horizontally are provided on the second slide rail. Both the first and second slide rails have several positioning holes suitable for installing bolts or pins. The bolts or pins are used to abut against the bottoms of the first and second limiting members. Baffles are provided on the front and rear sides of the first and second limiting members, and the baffles are used to limit the movement of the solar panels.

[0004] Optionally, both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are fixedly connected with a slide block, which is adapted to slide in connection with the first slide rail and the second slide rail.

[0005] Optionally, there are four first limiting members, distributed in pairs on the left and right sides of the lifting frame, and two second limiting members.

[0006] Optionally, the projections of the lifting frame and the body in the vertical direction are spaced apart.

[0007] Optionally, the machine body is symmetrically provided with transmission components on both sides. The transmission components include a first transmission wheel and a first transmission belt. The left and right sides of the lifting frame are fixed with connecting parts by bolts. The connecting parts are fixedly connected to the first transmission belt so that the first transmission belt drives the lifting frame to rise and fall.

[0008] Optionally, the machine body is provided with a hoisting rope, a winding rod and several driving components. The hoisting rope is connected to and drives the lifting frame to rise and fall. The winding rod is used to wind up the hoisting rope. A second transmission belt is connected between the driving components and the winding rod.

[0009] Optionally, pulleys are provided on the upper ends of both the left and right sides of the lifting frame, the hoisting rope is slidably connected to the pulleys, and the outer wall of the lifting frame is provided with an installation groove suitable for installing the hoisting rope, and the hoisting rope is arranged around the outer wall of the lifting frame.

[0010] Optionally, a second drive wheel is fixed on both the left and right sides of the winding rod, and the second drive wheel and the first drive wheel are connected by a number of gears.

[0011] Compared to existing technologies, the adjustable solar panel conveyor of this invention, through a first limiting member that can move up and down on both sides and a second limiting member that can move left and right at the bottom, together form a flexibly adjustable rectangular support frame. This allows the conveyor to adapt to solar panels of different lengths and widths, greatly improving the versatility of the equipment and reducing the investment cost of equipping special tooling for different product models.

[0012] The positioning holes on the first and second slide rails, combined with bolts or pins, provide a simple, secure, and cost-effective locking method. Once the positions of the first and second limiting components are adjusted according to the size of the solar panel, inserting bolts or pins will hold the limiting components in place from the bottom, effectively preventing them from shifting due to their own weight during transportation and ensuring that the solar panel is securely held in the preset position.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.

[0023] This utility model embodiment provides an adjustable solar panel conveyor, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a body 1 and a lifting frame 2 that are vertically and vertically connected. The lifting frame 2 is used to place solar panels. The left and right sides of the lifting frame 2 are provided with first slide rails 3. The first slide rails 3 are detachably connected with first limiting members 6 that slide vertically. The bottom of the lifting frame 2 is provided with a second slide rail 4. The second slide rail 4 is provided with second limiting members 7 that slide horizontally. Both the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4 are provided with a plurality of positioning holes 5. The positioning holes 5 are suitable for installing bolts or pins. The bolts or pins are used to abut the bottom of the first limiting members 6 and the second limiting members 7. The front and rear sides of the first limiting members 6 and the front and rear sides of the second limiting members 7 are provided with baffles 8, which are used to limit the solar panels.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 6 is fixed to the slide block 9 that is adapted to the slide rail by bolts. When the model of the solar panel is narrow, the first limiting member 6 can be removed from the slide block 9 and replaced with another wider first limiting member 6 so that the distance between the first limiting members 6 on the left and right sides can be adapted to the left and right distance of the solar panel.

[0025] Baffles 8 are installed on both the front and rear sides of each limiting member, which cleverly constrain the solar panel in the front-back direction. When installing the solar panel, the position of the first limiting member 6 needs to be unlocked first. The first limiting member 6 slides to the bottom under its own weight. Then, the solar panel is inserted into the groove formed between the baffles 8. After adjusting the position of the first limiting member 6, it is locked, which can effectively prevent the solar panel from sliding back and forth during start-up, shutdown or lifting.

[0026] The first limiting member 6, which can move up and down on both sides, and the second limiting member 7, which can move left and right at the bottom, together form a flexible adjustable rectangular support frame. This allows the conveyor to adapt to solar panels of different lengths and widths, greatly improving the equipment's versatility and reducing the investment cost of equipping it with special tooling for different product models.

[0027] The positioning holes 5 on the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4, when used with bolts or pins, provide a simple, secure, and cost-effective locking method. Once the positions of the first limiting member 6 and the second limiting member 7 are adjusted according to the size of the solar panel, the bolts or pins are inserted to secure them from the bottom, effectively preventing the limiting members from shifting due to their own weight during transportation and ensuring that the solar panel is firmly fixed in the preset position.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, a slide block 9 is fixedly connected to both the first limiting member 6 and the second limiting member 7, and the slide block 9 is adapted to slide in connection with the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, a special slide block 9 is used in conjunction with the slide rail to replace the direct friction between the limiting member and the slide rail, which significantly reduces the frictional resistance during the sliding process, making the adjustment operation more effortless and smooth.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, there are four first limiting members 6 distributed in pairs on the left and right sides of the lifting frame 2, and two second limiting members 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, four first limiting members 6 on both sides and two second limiting members 7 at the bottom provide the most reasonable and stable support for the rectangular solar panel. The four first limiting members 6 can evenly distribute the weight of the solar panel on both sides, preventing excessive force on one side from causing deformation; the two second limiting members 7 at the bottom mainly provide lateral positioning and central support. This layout ensures that the solar panel is subjected to uniform force during lifting and transportation, reducing the risk of damage.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the projections of the lifting frame 2 and the body 1 in the vertical direction are spaced apart.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outline of the lifting frame 2 maintains a safe distance from the outline of the body 1 in the vertical direction, ensuring that the lifting frame 2 will not mechanically interfere with the parts on the body 1 during the entire process of moving up and down, thus guaranteeing smooth and reliable operation. At the same time, it will not affect the fixing of the bolts or pins in the positioning holes 5.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, optionally, the two sides of the body 1 are symmetrically provided with transmission components. The transmission components include a first transmission wheel 10 and a first transmission belt 11. The left and right sides of the lifting frame 2 are fixed with connecting parts 12 by bolts. The connecting parts 12 and the first transmission belt 11 are fixedly connected so that the first transmission belt 11 drives the lifting frame 2 to rise and fall.

[0035] In this embodiment, a belt drive structure with symmetrical arrangement on both sides is adopted. Two first drive belts 11 simultaneously drive the connecting parts 12 on the left and right sides, thereby driving the lifting frame 2 to rise and fall synchronously on both sides with low noise. The connecting parts 12 are fixed to the lifting frame 2 with bolts, which facilitates on-site installation and debugging. At the same time, if the drive belt needs to be replaced, it is also relatively easy to disassemble the connecting parts 12, reducing the difficulty and time cost of later maintenance.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the machine body 1 is provided with a hoisting rope 13, a winding rod 14 and several driving components 15. The hoisting rope 13 is connected to and drives the lifting frame 2 to rise and fall. The winding rod 14 is used to wind up the hoisting rope 13. A second transmission belt 16 is connected between the driving components 15 and the winding rod 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, the suspension rope 13 is a steel wire rope or a high-strength synthetic fiber rope, etc. The suspension rope 13 assists the first transmission belt 11 in driving the lifting frame 2 to rise and fall, preventing the first transmission belt 11 from being subjected to excessive force and breaking.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, pulleys 17 are provided at the upper ends of both the left and right sides of the lifting frame 2, the hoisting rope 13 is slidably connected to the pulleys 17, and the outer wall of the lifting frame 2 is provided with a mounting groove suitable for installing the hoisting rope 13, and the hoisting rope 13 is arranged around the outer wall of the lifting frame 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pulley 17 transforms the sliding friction between the hoisting rope 13 and the lifting frame 2 into rolling friction, greatly reducing friction, lowering lifting resistance and wear on the hoisting rope 13, and improving transmission efficiency and the lifespan of the hoisting rope 13. The mounting groove prevents the hoisting rope 13 from swinging arbitrarily during lifting, making the structure more stable.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, a second transmission wheel 18 is fixed on both the left and right sides of the winding rod 14, and the second transmission wheel 18 and the first transmission wheel 10 are connected by a plurality of gears.

[0041] In this embodiment, the design cleverly connects the rope 13 winding system with the belt-driven lifting system through a series of gears. This means that only one drive unit 15 (such as a motor) can be used. While driving the winding rod 14, the drive unit 15 transmits power to the first drive wheel 10 through the second drive wheel 18 and a series of gears, thereby driving the first drive belt 11. This achieves synchronous linkage of the entire lifting mechanism, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures the coordination and consistency between the various moving parts.
