Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic module recycling equipment, specifically a photovoltaic module recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic module recycling equipment is a specialized device used to dismantle, classify, process, and recycle waste photovoltaic modules. Photovoltaic module recycling includes the dismantling of photovoltaic modules, which include glass, solar cells, EVA film, etc.

[0003] Patent CN205096223U discloses a photovoltaic module recycling device, which includes a lower disassembly plate, an upper disassembly plate, a negative pressure suction cup, and a recycling bracket. A workbench is located in the middle of the recycling bracket, with two lower pressure plates installed parallel to each other on the workbench. An upper pressure plate is located above the lower pressure plates. An inner module plate is located between the pressure rollers of the upper and lower pressure plates. A module glass plate is located on the upper side of the inner module plate, and a module back plate is located on the lower side. Telescopic cylinders are installed at the top and bottom of the recycling bracket via crossbeams. The upper disassembly plate is connected below the telescopic cylinder at the top of the recycling bracket, and the lower disassembly plate is connected above the telescopic cylinder at the bottom of the recycling bracket. This photovoltaic module recycling device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can effectively peel off the module glass plate and module back plate from photovoltaic modules, achieving mechanized photovoltaic module recycling, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the recycling efficiency of photovoltaic modules.

[0004] In existing technologies such as those described in the aforementioned patents, after the glass plate and back plate are disassembled, there is still EVA film on the glass plate. At this time, workers need to use scrapers or other tools to clean and remove the EVA film from the glass plate. During the removal process, clamps are needed to fix the glass plate to ensure the worker's removal work is stable. However, the area covered by the clamps will affect the worker's removal of the residual EVA film. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic module recycling device to solve the shortcomings of the prior art, where although the clamping component can fix the glass plate, the area covered by the clamping component cannot be cleaned, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the glass plate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a photovoltaic module recycling device, comprising a processing table, a support plate mounted on the processing table, and two sets of clamping components mounted on the processing table, each set of clamping components including at least one clamping unit;

[0007] Each clamping unit includes a slider, a telescopic rod, a connecting block, a pressure plate for clamping the glass plate, a drive assembly, and two upright plates. The two upright plates are vertically mounted on the processing table, and each upright plate has inclined grooves. The two ends of the connecting block are slidably connected to the two inclined grooves respectively. The pressure plate is mounted on the connecting block. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the connecting block and the other end is connected to the slider. The drive assembly drives the slider to slide horizontally on the processing table.

[0008] Two sets of clamping components alternately drive their pressure plate and the support plate to form a clamping space for clamping the glass plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a rotating rod and a driving component that drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the processing table. The rotating rod has a first thread segment and a second thread segment with opposite thread segments. The slider in the clamping unit is threadedly connected to the first thread segment and the second thread segment respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the processing table is provided with several sliding grooves, and each slider is horizontally slidably connected to each sliding groove in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0011] Furthermore, the processing table is provided with a discharge port, and a recycling box is detachably connected to the processing table, with the inlet of the recycling box connected to the discharge port.

[0012] Furthermore, the processing table is provided with a placement slot for placing several scrapers.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the photovoltaic module recycling equipment provided by this utility model allows for the alternating clamping operation of two sets of clamping components after the glass plate to be cleaned is placed on the support plate. This ensures effective clamping while eliminating the inability of the clamping components to clean the EVA film on the clamped area. First, the glass plate is fixed by one set of clamping components. Then, the worker uses a scraper to remove the residual EVA film from the glass plate. At this point, the clamping components that fix the glass plate will cover part of the glass plate. Then, the other set of clamping components fixes the glass plate. The EVA film in the area of ​​the glass plate covered by the other set of clamping components has been removed. The area covered by the previous clamping components is now exposed, and the worker only needs to clean this area. In this way, the worker can complete the thorough cleaning of the glass plate. Moreover, by utilizing the inclined distribution of the sloping grooves and the telescopic function of the telescopic rod, the adjustment of the horizontal position of the slider is transformed into a two-way synchronous adjustment of the horizontal and vertical positions of the pressure plate. This improves the adaptability to the clamped glass plates and the convenience of adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the corresponding pressure plates. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a photovoltaic module recycling device, including a processing table 1, a support plate 11 fixedly connected to the processing table 1, and two sets of clamping components 2 disposed on the processing table 1. Each of the clamping components 2 includes two clamping units 21. Of course, in other embodiments, each set of clamping components may have only one clamping unit.

[0023] Each clamping unit 21 includes a slider 211, a telescopic rod 212, a connecting block 213, a pressure plate 214, and two upright plates 215. The two upright plates 215 are vertically fixedly connected to the processing table 1, and each of the two upright plates 215 has inclined grooves 3. The two ends of the connecting block 213 are slidably connected to the inclined grooves 3 of the two upright plates, and can move simultaneously in the up and down direction and the horizontal direction. The pressure plate 214 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 213. One end of the telescopic rod 212 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 213, and the other end of the telescopic rod 212 is fixedly connected to the slider 211.

[0024] The two pressure plates 214 corresponding to the two clamping units 21 are distributed opposite to each other. The vertical distance between the pressure plate 214 and the bearing plate 11 constitutes the vertical space for accommodating the glass plate. By utilizing the inclined distribution of the inclined groove 3 and the telescopic function of the telescopic rod, the adjustment of the horizontal position of the slider 211 is transformed into a two-way synchronous adjustment of the horizontal and vertical positions of the pressure plate, which improves the adaptability to clamping the glass plate and the convenience of adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the corresponding pressure plate.

[0025] The slider 211 is horizontally slidably connected to the processing table 1. The processing table 1 has four slide grooves 12. Each slider 211 is horizontally slidably connected to each slide groove 12 in a one-to-one correspondence. The two vertical plates 215 of each clamping unit are respectively placed on both sides of a corresponding slide groove 12. That is, the integral component consisting of slider 211, telescopic rod 212 and connecting block 213 is located between two vertical plates 215.

[0026] The processing table 1 is also equipped with two drive components 4, each including a rotating rod 41 and a knob 42. The rotating rod 41 is rotatably connected within the processing table 1. The rotating rod 41 has a first threaded section 411 and a second threaded section 412 with opposing threaded segments. The two sliders 211 in the two corresponding clamping units 21 are threadedly connected to the first threaded section 411 and the second threaded section 412, respectively. The knob 42 is installed at the end of the rotating rod 41 for easy operation. Here, the knob 42 acts as a drive component, driving the rotating rod 41 to rotate under manual operation.

[0027] Working principle: Place the glass plate on the support plate 11 of the processing table 1 with the side of the glass plate with residual EVA film facing up. First, select a clamping component 2 to clamp the glass plate. During the clamping process, the drive component 4 corresponding to the selected clamping component 2 is used. Rotate the knob 42 to drive the rotating rod 41 to rotate. Since the first threaded section 411 and the second threaded section 412 of the rotating rod 41 are respectively threadedly connected to the sliders 211 of the two corresponding clamping units 21, and the sliders 211 are slidably connected to the processing table 1, the two sliders 211 can slide relative to each other. Taking one of the clamping units 21 as an example, the sliding of the slider 211 can drive the telescopic rod 212 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the telescopic rod 212 drives the connecting block 213 to move along the inclined groove 3 on the two upright plates 215. During the movement, the telescopic rod 212 retracts (the telescopic structure and function of the telescopic rod 212 are conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here). The connecting block 213 drives the pressure plate 214 to move relative to the upright plate 215 along the arrangement direction of the inclined groove 3, so that the pressure plate 214 gradually moves closer to the glass plate until the pressure plate 214 cooperates with the bearing plate 11 to fix the glass plate. The two corresponding clamping units 21 will simultaneously perform the clamping work on the glass plate. The worker then uses a scraper to scrape off the residual EVA film on the glass plate (the scraping operation is existing knowledge, and during the scraping work, it is necessary to...). The worker heats the glass plate to soften the EVA film (the heating device is existing technology, such as a heating gun). After the area covered by the clamping component 2 holding the glass plate is not cleaned, the worker turns another knob 42 to drive another clamping component 2 to clamp the glass plate upright 215. The area covered by the other clamping component 2 has been cleaned. The clamping component 2 of the previous set is released. Then the worker uses a scraper to scrape off the remaining EVA film, thus completing the scraping of the glass plate. In this way, the two clamping components alternately perform clamping operations. On the one hand, this can make the glass plate firmly fixed on the support plate 11. On the other hand, the two sets of clamping components 2 work together to make the glass plate thoroughly cleaned, and the glass plate can be better recycled to complete subsequent glass breaking and other work.

[0028] The photovoltaic module recycling equipment provided by this utility model involves placing the glass plate to be cleaned on the support plate 11. The worker first uses a set of clamping components 2 to fix the glass plate, and then uses a scraper to remove the residual EVA film on the glass plate. At this time, the clamping components 2 that fix the glass plate will cover part of the glass plate. Then, another set of clamping components 2 is used to fix the glass plate. The EVA film in the area of ​​the glass plate covered by the other set of clamping components 2 has been removed. The clamping of the previous clamping component 2 is released, and the covered area is exposed. The worker only needs to clean this area, thus completing the thorough cleaning of the glass plate.

[0029] The processing table 1 has a discharge port 13 and a recycling box 5 is detachably connected to the processing table 1. The inlet of the recycling box 5 is connected to the discharge port 13, so that the EVA film hanging off the glass plate falls from the discharge port 13 on the processing table 1 into the recycling box 5, which facilitates the subsequent processing of waste EVA film.

[0030] The processing table 1 is provided with a placement slot 14, which can be used to place multiple scrapers. When the worker is scraping off the EVA film on the glass plate, the scraper will also be covered with EVA film, which will affect the scraping effect. At this time, it is convenient to replace the scraper with a new one and prevent loss. After the scraping of the glass plate is completed, the scrapers are cleaned.

[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, the drive assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 41 and a motor. Here, the motor serves as another driving component. The rotating rod 41 is rotatably connected to the processing table 1. The rotating rod 41 has a first threaded section 411 and a second threaded section 412 with opposite threaded sections. The sliders 211 in the two corresponding clamping units 21 are threadedly connected to the first threaded section 411 and the second threaded section 412, respectively. The motor is fixedly mounted on the processing table 1, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating rod 41 for transmission. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor drives the rotating rod 41 to rotate, thereby the first threaded section 411 and the second threaded section 412 on the rotating rod 41 are threadedly connected to the two sliders 211, allowing the two sliders 211 to slide relative to each other. On the one hand, the sliding efficiency of the sliders 211 driven by the motor is higher, and on the other hand, the position movement accuracy of the pressure plate 214 driven by the sliding of the sliders 211 is higher. It is worth mentioning that the motor used is a self-locking motor. In addition, the output shaft of the motor can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, such as the Novan WGM4058-31 ZY series.

[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
