Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic module production equipment, and in particular relates to a dual-station adhesive coating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Before the glass substrate of a photovoltaic module is loaded, depending on the process, it is sometimes necessary to apply adhesive to the glass surface outside the production line, such as butyl adhesive. Therefore, in order to improve production efficiency, it is necessary to develop an automated adhesive application equipment to complete the above adhesive application operation.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN116213212A discloses a dual-station automotive window glass adhesive application worktable. By setting a first and second worktable on the worktable frame, and providing a movable seat between the adhesive application station and the loading / unloading station, the first and second worktables can move alternately, enabling parallel loading / unloading and adhesive application operations and reducing waiting time. However, the positional accuracy of the automotive window glass on the worktable cannot be effectively guaranteed, and it is not effectively compatible with glass of different sizes and specifications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new dual-station adhesive application equipment to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-station glue coating equipment that can effectively solve the technical problems of slow efficiency, low precision in applying butyl glue, and poor compatibility with different types / sizes of plate products in traditional glue coating equipment.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a dual-station adhesive application device, comprising: The carrier transfer mechanism has two side by side along the Y direction, including a first driving member and a support plate. The first driving member drives the support plate to move along the X direction between the loading and unloading station and the gluing station. The support plate is provided with several suction nozzles for adsorbing materials. The alignment mechanism aligns the peripheral position of the material placed on the support plate at the loading and unloading station. An adhesive application mechanism is installed above the adhesive application station to apply adhesive to the material on the support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the carrier transfer mechanism also includes a first support plate disposed at the movable end of the first drive member, and the support plate is disposed on the first support plate in an adjustable manner.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate is connected to the first support plate via at least one pair of horizontal adjustment screws.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction end of the suction nozzle is embedded in the upper surface of the support plate; the suction nozzle is mounted on the support plate with adjustable height.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate has several clearance notches on both sides in the Y direction to facilitate the picking and placing of materials.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjacent two sides of the support plate are provided with a first limiting stop edge that restricts the position of the glass substrate X to one side edge and a second limiting stop edge that restricts the position of the glass substrate Y to one side edge.

[0012] Furthermore, the correction mechanism includes a first correction module that cooperates with the first limiting stop and a second correction module that cooperates with the second limiting stop; the first correction module includes a second driving member, a second support plate that is driven by the second driving member to move in the X direction, and a pair of short-side correction plates disposed on the second support plate and distributed opposite to the first limiting stop; there are two second correction modules, each corresponding to one of the two vehicle transfer mechanisms, and each includes a third driving member and a long-side correction plate that is driven by the third driving member to move in the Y direction and distributed opposite to the second limiting stop.

[0013] Furthermore, the first alignment module is located between the two carrier transfer mechanisms; the second alignment module is located above the loading and unloading station.

[0014] Furthermore, the adhesive application mechanism includes a YZ transfer module, a third support plate disposed at the movable end of the YZ transfer module, and an adhesive application head disposed on the third support plate, wherein the adhesive application head is connected to an adhesive supply device.

[0015] Furthermore, the applicator head is an AB glue mixing applicator head.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's dual-station adhesive coating equipment are as follows: (1) Production efficiency is greatly improved and continuous operation is realized: The equipment adopts a dual-carrier transfer mechanism arranged along the Y direction, combined with the X-direction distribution design of the loading and unloading station and the gluing station, to build a dual-station alternating operation mode. When one carrier transfer mechanism carries the material and completes the gluing at the gluing station, the other carrier can simultaneously load and unload the material and return it to its original position at the loading and unloading station, completely eliminating the waiting gap of traditional single-station equipment, realizing the continuous operation of the gluing process, and significantly improving the production capacity per unit time. At the same time, the loading and unloading station supports flexible layout of integration on the same side or distribution on opposite sides, which can adapt to the spatial planning and material flow path of different workshops, further optimize the production rhythm, and solve the core pain point of slow efficiency of traditional equipment.

[0017] (2) Dual guarantee of positioning accuracy and adsorption stability to improve the quality of adhesive coating: In the material positioning stage, the equipment achieves high-precision position calibration through the collaborative design of "limiting edge + bidirectional correction module"; the first and second limiting edges of the support plate provide the initial positioning reference for the material, and the first correction module (driving the short side correction plate along the X direction) and the second correction module (driving the long side correction plate along the Y direction) of the correction mechanism can clamp the material from both sides, which can not only accurately correct the material placement deviation, but also adapt to different sizes of plate products through the stroke adjustment of the drive component, taking into account both positioning accuracy and versatility; In the material fixing stage, the embedded suction nozzle on the support plate firmly fixes the material through vacuum adsorption, and the suction nozzle adopts a height-adjustable threaded installation structure, combined with the horizontal adjustment design of the support plate (adjusted by the horizontal height adjustment screw), which can ensure that each suction nozzle is reliably attached to the material surface, effectively avoiding problems such as material deviation and warping during the adhesive coating process, fundamentally solving the defects of low precision in traditional butyl adhesive application, and ensuring the consistency of the adhesive coating trajectory and the uniformity of the adhesive layer.

[0018] (3) Wide compatibility and easy operation, reducing production adaptation costs: The equipment has significant advantages in product compatibility: On the one hand, the stroke of the drive component of the correction mechanism and the movement path of the carrier transfer mechanism can be flexibly adjusted. The coating mechanism can achieve coating of any pattern on the surface of materials such as glass substrates through the YZ transfer module and the carrier moving in the X direction. It can meet the coating needs of materials of different shapes such as rectangles, rectangles, and T-shapes, without the need to customize equipment for specific products. On the other hand, the coating head supports flexible switching between AB glue mixing (equipped with a mixing pump and mixing valve) or single glue precision coating, adapting to the coating requirements of different processes and greatly reducing the equipment investment cost in multi-category production scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment is a dual-station adhesive coating equipment 100, which includes a loading and unloading station and an adhesive coating station distributed along the X direction, a carrier transfer mechanism 1 for switching the position of the material between the loading and unloading station and the adhesive coating station, a correction mechanism 2 for correcting the peripheral position of the material placed on the carrier transfer mechanism 1 at the loading and unloading station, and an adhesive coating mechanism 3 disposed above the adhesive coating station.

[0021] In this embodiment, the material is a glass substrate used in photovoltaic modules. In other embodiments, the material may be other plate-shaped products.

[0022] In this embodiment, the loading and unloading stations for the glass substrate are integrated on the same side of the equipment, enabling materials to enter and exit from the same side. In other embodiments, the loading and unloading stations can be located on opposite sides of the equipment, and the glass substrate can be switched between the loading station, the adhesive coating station, and the unloading station via the carrier transfer mechanism 1.

[0023] To achieve continuous adhesive coating production and improve production efficiency, in this embodiment, two carrier transfer mechanisms 1 are arranged along the Y direction, realizing a dual-station loading and unloading structure. The carrier transfer mechanism 1 includes a first driving member 11, a first support plate 12 driven by the first driving member 11 to move along the X direction, and a support carrier plate 13 disposed on the first support plate 12. To ensure the stable position of the glass substrate during the adhesive coating process, this embodiment provides several suction nozzles 14 on the support carrier plate 13 to adsorb and fix the glass substrate located on the support carrier plate 13. The adsorption end of the suction nozzle 14 is embedded in the upper surface of the support carrier plate 13.

[0024] To ensure the flatness of the glass substrate on the support plate 13, the support plate 13 is mounted on the first support plate 12 with adjustable horizontality. Furthermore, the suction nozzle 14 is mounted in a height-adjustable mounting hole (not shown in the figure) on the support plate 13. Specifically, the support plate 13 is connected to the first support plate 12 via at least one pair of horizontal adjustment screws 15. Adjusting each horizontal adjustment screw 15 allows for adjustment of the overall horizontality of the support plate 13. The mounting hole is a threaded hole, and the suction nozzle 14 has a mounting rod 141. The mounting rod 141 is threaded into the mounting hole and its vertical position is adjusted by rotation. Adjusting the height of the suction nozzle 14 ensures that each nozzle can reliably and effectively adsorb the glass substrate on the support plate 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the glass substrate's position.

[0025] In addition, to facilitate the loading and unloading of glass substrates by operators, several clearance notches 16 are provided on both sides of the support plate 13 in the Y direction, so that operators can avoid the obstruction when loading and unloading.

[0026] In addition, to ensure the accurate positioning of the glass substrate on the support plate 13, the adjacent two side edges of the support plate 13 are provided with a first limiting stop 17 restricting the position of the glass substrate in the X direction to one side and a second limiting stop 18 restricting the position of the glass substrate in the Y direction to one side. The alignment mechanism 2 mainly works with the first limiting stop 17 and the second limiting stop 18 to align the position of the glass substrate around the two carrier transfer mechanisms 1. Specifically, the alignment mechanism 2 includes a first alignment module 21 located between the two carrier transfer mechanisms 1 and a second alignment module 22 located above the loading and unloading stations. The first alignment module 21 includes a second driving member 211, a second support plate 212 driven by the second driving member 211 to move in the X direction, and a pair of short-side alignment plates 213 disposed on the second support plate 212 and distributed opposite to the first limiting stop 17. The two short-side alignment plates 213 are used for the glass substrates on the two loading and unloading stations. Two second alignment modules 22 are provided, corresponding to the two carrier transfer mechanisms 1 respectively. Each module includes a third drive member 221 and a long-side alignment plate 222, driven by the third drive member 221 to move along the Y direction and distributed opposite to the second limiting stop 18. The second drive member 211 drives the short-side alignment plate 213 to move the glass substrate on the support plate 13 along the X direction, so that the X-direction sides of the glass substrate are clamped by the short-side alignment plate 213 and the first limiting stop 17 to achieve X-direction positioning. Similarly, the third drive member 221 drives the long-side alignment plate 222 to move the glass substrate on the support plate 13 along the Y direction, so that the Y-direction sides of the glass substrate are clamped by the long-side alignment plate 222 and the second limiting stop 18 to achieve Y-direction positioning. The second drive member 211 and the third drive member 221 can also adapt to the peripheral alignment requirements of glass substrates of various sizes, improving the versatility of the adhesive coating equipment.

[0027] The adhesive application mechanism 3 includes a YZ transfer module 31, a third support plate 32 disposed at the movable end of the YZ transfer module 31, and an adhesive application head 33 disposed on the third support plate 32. The adhesive application head 33 is connected to the adhesive supply device. The YZ transfer module 31 drives the adhesive application head 33 to perform two-dimensional YZ movement, which, in conjunction with the carrier transfer mechanism 1, carries the glass substrate to achieve horizontal movement in the X direction, thereby enabling adhesive application to any pattern on the surface of the glass substrate. In this embodiment, the adhesive application head 33 is an AB adhesive mixing and application head, utilizing a mixing pump 331, a mixing valve 332, and a mixing tube 333 to achieve mixing and quantitative application of AB adhesive. In other embodiments, the adhesive application head 33 can also be a single-headed application head, using an adhesive valve to achieve precise quantitative application.

[0028] The workflow of a dual-station adhesive coating device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: In the initial state, the support carrier plate 13 is located at the loading and unloading station, waiting to receive materials; the operator or automatic equipment picks up the glass substrate and places it on the support carrier plate 13, the first alignment module 21 and the second alignment module 22 in the alignment mechanism 2 are activated to align the position of the glass substrate around the support carrier plate 13; the suction nozzle 14 on the support carrier plate 13 draws a vacuum to adsorb and fix the glass substrate; the support carrier plate 13 moves along the X direction with the glass substrate to the adhesive coating station, and the adhesive coating mechanism 3 applies adhesive to the glass substrate according to the adhesive coating path plan; after the adhesive coating is completed, the support carrier plate 13 moves along the X direction in the opposite direction to the loading and unloading station, and the operator or automatic equipment removes the glass substrate to realize the unloading.

[0029] This embodiment presents a dual-station adhesive coating device 100 that can meet the adhesive coating needs of different glass shapes (such as rectangular, square, T-shaped, etc.). It can accurately position and align the glass, and effectively adhere the glass during coating to prevent deviation. It is compatible with glass of different sizes, enabling dual-station interchangeable feeding, improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, it allows for offline adhesive coating, with the entire coating process being visualized and controllable. It replaces traditional butyl tape application and solves the problems of low precision and slow cycle time associated with traditional butyl adhesive application.

[0030] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
