[0002] Photovoltaic modules, also known as solar cell modules, are made by sealing a certain number of individual solar cells in series and parallel to form photovoltaic modules, because the output voltage of a single solar cell is low and the electrodes of unencapsulated cells are prone to detachment due to environmental influences. This is to prevent corrosion of the cell electrodes and interconnects.

To address these problems, we propose a photovoltaic module installation positioning fixture. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-7 A photovoltaic module installation and positioning fixture includes a control module, a support ring 1, and four vacuum suction cups 2. The vacuum suction cups 2 are located inside the support ring 1. The vacuum suction cups 2 are connected to a vacuum pump and the control module through pipes. The photovoltaic module is adsorbed, clamped, and positioned by the vacuum suction cups 2, and then the photovoltaic module is moved. The vacuum adsorption method can reduce the damage to the photovoltaic module and improve the installation quality. It also includes: two moving plates 3, four connecting adjustment units 6, and two A adjustment units 7. The inner side of the support ring 1 is provided with two sliding grooves A. The movable plate 3 can slide inside the sliding grooves A. The support ring 1 is detachably fixed to two support plates 8 by bolts. The upper sides of the movable plate 3 are provided with auxiliary grooves. The support plates 8 can slide inside the auxiliary grooves. The two support plates 8 play a supporting and guiding role for the middle of the two movable plates 3, reducing the probability of deformation of the movable plate 3 and improving the stability of the movement of the movable plate 3.

A support ring 1 is located between the two connecting blocks 73. Both sides of the support ring 1 are provided with guide grooves. A guide strip 74 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 73 facing the support ring 1. The guide strip 74 can slide inside the guide groove. The guide strip 74 and the connecting block 73 are aligned with the L-shaped drive plate 72. It serves as a limit and guide, making the movement of the L-shaped drive plate 72 more stable. The B electric slide rail 71 is connected to the power supply and control module through wires. The B electric slide rail 71 moves the two ends of the moving plate 3 in the A sliding groove through the L-shaped drive plate 72. The support ring 1 supports and guides the moving plate 3. The two moving plates 3 can be moved to different positions. The position of the corresponding vacuum suction cup 2 on the moving plate 3 can be adjusted according to the position, shape and size of the photovoltaic module, so that the clamp can be used for photovoltaic modules of different specifications, improving the applicability and convenience of the device. Displacement sensors 4 are provided on both the left and right sides of the vacuum suction cup 2. The displacement sensors 4 are connected to the control module through wires. The upper side of the moving plate 3 is provided with a sliding hole. The vacuum suction cup 2 and the displacement sensors 4 are located inside the sliding hole. The displacement sensors 4 are used to sense the bonding status between the vacuum suction cup 2 and the photovoltaic module, so that the vacuum suction cup 2 can automatically adsorb after bonding, which improves the clamping efficiency. The upper side of the support ring 1 is detachably fixed with a mounting plate 5 by bolts. The mounting plate 5 is connected to the moving mechanism or the robotic arm and is used to drive the clamp to adjust. The connecting adjustment unit 6 is located between the vacuum suction cup 2, the two displacement sensors 4 and the moving plate 3. The connecting adjustment unit 6 can connect the vacuum suction cup 2 and the displacement sensors 4 together and drive the vacuum suction cup 2 and the displacement sensors 4 to move. The connecting adjustment unit 6 includes a mounting block 61 and two A-type electric slide rails 62. A C-type drive plate 63 is detachably fixed to the upper side of the mounting block 61 by bolts. A movable plate 3 can slide inside the C-type drive plate 63. A limit plate 64 is detachably fixed to the C-type drive plate 63 by bolts, and the limit plate 64 is located below the movable plate 3. The limit plate 64 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting block 61. Connecting plates 67 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the mounting block 61. An A-type positioning strip 68 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 67 away from the mounting block 61. Two A-type guide grooves are provided inside the sliding hole. The A-type positioning strip 68 can slide inside the A-type guide groove. Two B-type positioning grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the mounting block 61. A B-type positioning strip 69 slides inside the B-type positioning groove. The B-type positioning strip 69 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 67. The connecting plate 67 and the limit plate 68 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting block 61. The upper side of the positioning plate 64 and the inner side of the C-shaped driving plate 63 are fixedly connected. The A positioning strip 68, the connecting plate 67 and the B positioning strip 69 are integrated into a guide component. First, the guide component is installed in the sliding hole. Then, the mounting block 61 and the limiting plate 64 are installed from bottom to top. At this time, the B positioning strip 69 slides into the B positioning groove on the mounting block 61. Finally, the C-shaped driving plate 63 is installed from top to bottom, and the C-shaped driving plate 63 is connected to the mounting block 61 and the limiting plate 64. At this time, the C-shaped driving plate 63 and the limiting plate 64 limit the upper and lower movement of the guide component. At the same time, under the action of the B positioning strip 69, the guide component moves horizontally towards the mounting block 61, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. The guide component also guides and limits the movement of the mounting block 61, making the movement of the mounting block 61 more stable. Mounting block 61 has a mounting hole on its upper side, C-shaped drive plate 63 has an A through hole on its upper side, and limiting plate 64 has a B through hole on its lower side. Mounting cylinder 65 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting hole. Mounting cylinder 65 can slide inside the A through hole and the B through hole. Vacuum suction cup 2 is installed inside mounting cylinder 65. Mounting block 61 has mounting grooves on both its left and right sides, C-shaped drive plate 63 has B sliding grooves on both its left and right sides, and limiting plate 64 has A positioning grooves on both its left and right sides. Mounting cylinder 66 is installed inside the mounting grooves. Mounting cylinder 66 can slide in the B sliding groove and the A positioning groove. Inside the slot, displacement sensor 4 is installed inside mounting cylinder B 66. Electric slide rail A 62 is installed on the upper side of moving plate 3. C-shaped drive plate 63 is connected to the sliding end of electric slide rail A 62. Electric slide rail A 62 is connected to power supply and control module through wires. Electric slide rail A 62 moves horizontally in sliding hole with mounting block 61 through C-shaped drive plate 63 and other components. Mounting block 61 moves together with vacuum suction cup 2 through mounting cylinder B 66, so that the fixture can clamp photovoltaic modules of different specifications, improving the applicability of the fixture.

[0021] Operating principle: By connecting adjustment unit 6 and adjustment unit A 7, the positions of the four vacuum suction cups 2 are adjusted. Then, the entire clamp is moved by the mounting plate 5, allowing the vacuum suction cups 2 to adhere to the photovoltaic module. After this, the displacement sensor 4 will come into contact with the photovoltaic module. As the adherence progresses, the detection end of the displacement sensor 4 moves, and the adhesion state of the vacuum suction cups 2 is determined by the displacement sensor 4. After the adhesion is completed, it can automatically perform adsorption and clamping. When moving, if the servo is not secure, or if the photovoltaic module moves or falls off on one side, the displacement sensor 4 will change, thereby stopping the movement of the clamp immediately. After the photovoltaic module is installed, the vacuum suction cups 2 can be remotely controlled to maintain the adsorption state of the photovoltaic module, so that the clamp no longer adsorbs and clamps the photovoltaic module.
