Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge trimming machine technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic module edge trimming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of photovoltaic modules (solar panels), to ensure neat edges and meet encapsulation and assembly requirements, the glass and laminated edges typically require precision edge trimming. Existing edge trimming equipment often employs manual or semi-automatic fixing methods, using simple clamps to hold the modules and then rotating cutters to trim the edges. Such equipment often suffers from uneven clamping force or poor adaptability, making it difficult to stably hold photovoltaic modules of different sizes or with slight deformations. During edge trimming, module displacement or vibration can easily occur, resulting in low trimming accuracy, rough edges, or even edge chipping. Furthermore, the relative feed between the module and the cutter often relies on manual or simple mechanical pushing, making it difficult to guarantee feed speed and stability, thus affecting processing efficiency and consistency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the problem that the clamping force of the existing clamps is uneven or the adaptability is poor, making it difficult to stably clamp photovoltaic modules of different sizes or with slight deformation, and that the modules are prone to displacement or shaking during the edge trimming process, resulting in low edge trimming accuracy, rough edges or even edge chipping, a photovoltaic module edge trimming machine is provided.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a photovoltaic module edge trimming machine, including a base, a worktable, an edge trimming piece, a fixing mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The edge trimming piece is arranged inside the base, and the worktable is arranged on the base. The worktable has a through hole for the edge trimming end of the edge trimming piece to pass through. The fixing mechanism is arranged on the worktable and includes a fixed clamping plate, a movable clamping plate, and a clamping drive. The clamping drive is fixedly connected to the worktable, and the output end of the clamping drive is fixedly connected to the movable clamping plate. The clamping drive provides power for the movable clamping plate to move away from or towards the worktable. The fixed clamping plate is fixedly connected to the worktable, and the fixed clamping plate extends beyond the worktable. The upper through hole and the bottom surface of the fixed clamping plate have a groove for the edge of the edge-cutting part to pass through. The drive mechanism and the base are fixedly connected. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the worktable for transmission. The drive mechanism is used to provide power for the photovoltaic module to move closer to or away from the edge of the edge-cutting part. Through the coordinated work of the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate controlled by the clamping drive, the photovoltaic module can be firmly clamped from both sides. Several docking blocks supported by elastic elements are set on the movable clamping plate, which can adapt to the small irregular shape of the edge of the photovoltaic module and realize flexible contact, effectively preventing the module from shifting or vibrating during the edge-cutting process, and significantly improving the clamping stability and processing accuracy.

[0005] To address the issue of uneven force, excessive local stress, or even damage to photovoltaic modules caused by unevenness or slight dimensional deviations at the module edges when using rigid clamps, a further improvement is made to the system. A receiving groove is provided on the side of the movable clamp closest to the fixed clamp. Several mating blocks are arranged within the receiving groove, with adjacent mating blocks sliding in contact. The mating blocks are connected to the movable clamp via a telescopic guide rod. An elastic element is fitted onto the telescopic guide rod, with one end of the elastic element abutting against the mating groove and the other end abutting against the movable clamp.

[0006] To address the issue that the movable clamping plate may deflect or jam when moving under the action of the clamping drive, resulting in uneven clamping action and inaccurate alignment, a further improvement is made by installing guide posts on the movable clamping plate, with the guide posts slidingly connected to the worktable.

[0007] To address the issue of debris accumulating near the clamping plate during the edge trimming process, affecting tool operation, causing inconvenience in cleaning, and potentially scratching the component surface, a further improvement is made by having an inclined guide surface on the end of the clamping plate near the output end of the edge trimming part.

[0008] To address the need for high-rigidity, high-precision linear guidance during the feed motion of the worktable to ensure uniform edge cutting depth, a further drive mechanism is included, comprising a power drive component, a slider, and a matching slide rail. The slide rail and base are fixedly connected, the power drive component and base are fixedly connected, the output end of the power drive component is fixedly connected to the worktable, the power drive component provides power for the movement of the worktable, the slide rail and slider are slidably connected, and the slider and worktable are fixedly connected.

[0009] The drive mechanism further includes a slide rod, a slide sleeve, and two limiting blocks. The limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the base, the end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block on its side, the slide sleeve is fixedly connected to the worktable, and the slide sleeve is slidably sleeved on the slide rod.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The photovoltaic module edge trimming machine provided by this utility model can firmly clamp the photovoltaic module from both sides by the coordinated work of the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate controlled by the clamping drive component. The movable clamping plate is provided with several docking blocks supported by elastic elements, which can adapt to the slight irregular shape of the edge of the photovoltaic module and achieve flexible contact, effectively preventing the module from shifting or vibrating during the edge trimming process, and significantly improving the clamping stability and processing accuracy.

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0015] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, a photovoltaic module edge trimming machine, including a base 1, a worktable 2, an edge trimming piece 3, a fixing mechanism 4, and a driving mechanism 5. The edge trimming piece 3 is arranged inside the base 1, and the worktable 2 is arranged on the base 1. The worktable 2 has a through hole 21 for the edge trimming end of the edge trimming piece 3 to pass through. The fixing mechanism 4 is arranged on the worktable 2 and includes a fixed clamping plate 41, a movable clamping plate 42, and a clamping drive component 43. The clamping drive component 43 can be a power element such as a cylinder or an electric actuator. The clamping drive component 43 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2, and the output end of the clamping drive component 43 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping plate 42. The clamping drive component 43 is used for... The fixed clamping plate 41 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2, and the fixed clamping plate 41 passes through the through hole 21 on the worktable 2. The bottom surface of the fixed clamping plate 41 has a groove for the cutting end of the cutting part 3 to pass through. The cutting part 3 is a cutter head driven by a motor. The drive mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The output end of the drive mechanism 5 is connected to the worktable 2. The drive mechanism 5 is used to provide power for the photovoltaic module to move closer to or away from the cutting end of the cutting part 3. Reliable clamping is achieved through the fixed mechanism 4. Automatic and smooth feeding of the worktable is achieved through the drive mechanism 5, thereby ensuring high precision, high efficiency and high consistency of the cutting process.

[0016] like Figure 2As shown, a receiving groove 421 is provided on the side of the movable clamping plate 42 near the fixed clamping plate 41. Several mating blocks 44 are arranged in the receiving groove 421. Two adjacent mating blocks 44 slide in contact. The mating blocks 44 are connected to the movable clamping plate 42 through a telescopic guide rod 45. An elastic element 46 is sleeved on the telescopic guide rod 45. One end of the elastic element 46 abuts against the mating groove, and the other end abuts against the movable clamping plate 42. By setting multiple mating blocks 44 supported by the elastic element 46 and capable of relative sliding on the movable clamping plate 42, a flexible clamping surface is formed. This structure can adapt to the edge contour of the component and achieve uniform pressure, which not only enhances the stability of clamping but also protects the component from damage. It is particularly suitable for components with slight differences in size in batch processing.

[0017] The movable clamping plate 42 is equipped with a guide post 47, which is slidably connected to the worktable 2. By adding the guide post 47 and the worktable 2 for sliding cooperation, a precise linear guide is provided for the movement of the movable clamping plate 42, ensuring the accuracy of its movement trajectory and making the clamping action more reliable and faster.

[0018] The fixed clamping plate 41 has an inclined guide surface 411 at one end near the output end of the edge trimming part 3. The inclined guide surface 411 at the end of the fixed clamping plate 41 allows the edge trimming debris to slide smoothly down the inclined surface to the predetermined collection area, avoiding debris retention, keeping the processing area clean, and improving the practicality and maintenance convenience of the equipment.

[0019] The drive mechanism 5 includes a power drive component 51, a slider 52, and a slide rail 53 that matches the slider 52. The slide rail 53 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the power drive component 51 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the output end of the power drive component 51 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2. The power drive component 51 is used to provide power for the movement of the worktable 2. The slide rail 53 and the slider 52 are slidably connected, and the slider 52 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2. The power drive component 51 can be a power element such as a cylinder or an electric push rod. By adopting the guiding method of slider 52 and slide rail 53, the stability, rigidity, and guiding accuracy of the movement of the worktable 2 can be improved, thereby directly ensuring the accuracy and quality of the edge trimming process.

[0020] The drive mechanism 5 includes a slide rod 54, a sliding sleeve 55, and two limiting blocks 56. The limiting blocks 56 are fixedly connected to the base 1. The end of the slide rod 54 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 56 on its side. The sliding sleeve 55 is fixedly connected to the worktable 2. The sliding sleeve 55 is slidably sleeved on the slide rod 54. By adopting the cooperative structure of the slide rod 54 and the sliding sleeve 55, a good linear guiding function can also be achieved. The setting of the limiting blocks 56 at both ends limits the stroke. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0021] Working process: The operator places the photovoltaic module to be processed on the worktable 2, ensuring one edge is close to or against the fixed clamping plate 41. The clamping drive 43 is activated, its output pushing the movable clamping plate 42 towards the fixed clamping plate 41. The mating block 56 on the movable clamping plate 42, under the action of the elastic element 46, adapts to the shape of the module's edge, working in conjunction with the fixed clamping plate 41 to firmly clamp the photovoltaic module onto the worktable. The drive mechanism 5 is then activated, and the power drive 51 pushes the worktable 2 along the slide rail 53 (or slide bar 54) towards the cutting edge. The edge piece 3 moves smoothly in the direction of the fixed clamping plate 41. The groove at the bottom of the edge piece 3 allows the edge-cutting end of the edge piece 3 to pass through and contact the edge of the photovoltaic module. Under the uniform feed of the worktable 2, the edge piece 3 completes the precision edge-cutting of one side of the module. The debris generated by edge-cutting slides down along the guide surface 411. After the edge-cutting of one side is completed, the drive mechanism 5 drives the worktable 2 back to the initial position. The clamping drive 43 moves to make the movable clamping plate 42 retract, releasing the photovoltaic module. The operator can then remove the photovoltaic module or adjust its direction to process the other side.

[0022] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
