Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic flipping paper-filling devices, and in particular relates to a flipping paper-filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic frames are an important component of photovoltaic equipment. After the frames are manufactured, they are stacked together for transportation. To facilitate subsequent frame assembly, corner brackets are installed at both ends of the frames. During stacking, to save space, one frame is flipped and misaligned to press on the other frame. In order to prevent friction and scratches between the two frames, a layer of paper is placed between them before they are flipped and snapped together. This process is called the frame stacking process.

[0003] To achieve efficient automated palletizing of photovoltaic frames, existing patent CN119873397A discloses an automated photovoltaic frame palletizing device, which includes a conveying mechanism, a truss gripper mechanism, and an upper corner paper stacking mechanism. Through the cooperation of a feeding synchronous belt and a clamping frame, it achieves efficient conveying, flipping, and palletizing of photovoltaic frames, ensuring continuous paper strips. However, this device has the following drawbacks: (1) The equipment occupies a large space, which is not conducive to use scenarios with limited space; (2) The equipment is equipped with a palletizing station and a feeding station. The frame flipping and palletizing are integrated into a truss gripper mechanism. The conveying mechanism transports a row of frames to the feeding station. The truss gripper mechanism clamps them at the feeding station, flips them, and then fastens them to the newly entered row of frames, completing the front and back fastening. Then the frames that are fastened together are clamped from the feeding station to the palletizing station. Only after the palletizing is completed and the truss gripper mechanism returns to the feeding station can the next cycle of frame flipping and fastening and palletizing operation be carried out. The overall cycle is slow and the efficiency is low, which cannot meet the palletizing requirements of higher cycle.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new flipping paper-inserting device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a flipping and paper-inserting device that can complete the flipping operation of materials and the insertion of isolation paper at the same workstation. It is suitable for the scenario of front and back edge snapping and palletizing, and helps to reduce the overall size of the edge palletizing equipment and improve the edge palletizing efficiency.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a flipping and paper-filling device, comprising two sub-modules arranged opposite each other along the Y direction, with a material buffer area formed between the two sub-modules; each sub-module includes a first driving member, a bracket driven by the first driving member to move along the Y direction, a flipping module disposed on the bracket, and a feeding and paper-filling module; the flipping module is disposed facing the material buffer area and has a clamping member that can move up and down and flip around the Y axis to clamp and flip the material; the feeding and paper-filling module and the material buffer area are respectively located on both sides of the clamping member in the Y direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the flipping module includes a second driving member fixed on the bracket, a first support plate driven by the second driving member to move up and down, a third driving member fixed on the first support plate, and a flipping plate driven by the third driving member to flip around the Y-axis. The clamping member is disposed on the surface of the flipping plate facing the material buffer area.

[0008] Furthermore, the flip plate is provided with a pair of alignment clamping components for aligning and clamping the material sitting on the clamping member in the X direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the corrective clamping assembly includes a first cylinder and a corrective clamping member that is driven by the first cylinder to move along the X direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the alignment clamping assembly is positioned adjustable along the X direction on the flip plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket has a support facade facing the material buffer area, and the support facade is provided with through windows extending through both sides in the Y direction, so that the feeding paper-plugging module can clamp the paper through; the first support plate moves up and down on the support facade and avoids the through windows when it moves to a high position.

[0012] Furthermore, the bracket includes a horizontal support base and a pair of support columns disposed on the horizontal support base, the space between the support columns forming the through window; the first support plate is movably disposed on the support columns.

[0013] Furthermore, the paper feeding module includes a paper feeding assembly mounted on the bracket, a paper pulling assembly that pulls the paper in the paper feeding assembly out a set length in the X direction, a paper clamping assembly that is mounted along the paper pulling section and is used to clamp the paper, a cutting assembly that is mounted close to the paper feeding assembly and cuts the paper after it has been pulled out a set length, and a transfer assembly that drives the paper clamping assembly to move in space to place the paper.

[0014] Furthermore, the paper-holding assembly includes a third support plate and a plurality of second gripper assemblies arranged at intervals along the X direction on the third support plate; the transfer assembly includes a third cylinder fixed on the bracket, a fourth support plate driven by the third cylinder to move up and down, and a fourth cylinder fixed on the fourth support plate, wherein the third support plate is slidably disposed on the fourth support plate along the Y direction and is driven by the fourth cylinder to move along the Y direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the paper-pulling assembly includes a fourth driving member fixed on the bracket, a second support plate driven by the fourth driving member to move in the X direction, and a first gripper assembly fixed on the second support plate.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention's flipping and paper-inserting device are: it integrates flipping and paper-inserting functions, improving production efficiency. Specifically: (1) The frame flipping (180° flipping to achieve reverse) is integrated with paper feeding, cutting, and placement functions. After the first set of positive frames is input into place, it can be taken out from the buffer conveyor line and raised to a high position for flipping through the flipping module. After the first set of positive frames is taken away by the flipping module, the next set of positive frames can be input. When the second set of positive frames is delivered into place, the first set of positive frames has completed 180° flipping to form a reverse frame group. The flipping module can then perform the snapping of the positive and negative frames. At the same time, the paper feeding module can insert the paper. Then, the stacking and handling mechanism takes away the frames snapped together for stacking. After the frames snapped together are taken away, the next cycle of frame input, flipping, paper feeding and snapping can be performed. Compared with the existing technology, the start of the next cycle does not have to wait for the stacking and handling mechanism to return to the material buffer area before starting, thereby improving the equipment cycle time and production efficiency. (2) Through the design of the through window and the coordination of the transfer components, a clearance space can be formed when the flipping module performs the flipping action, and the paper can be accurately inserted in the clearance space, reducing the process changeover time. At the same time, the independent control of the material distribution conveyor line and the buffer conveyor line and the pre-positioning of the alignment module enable the frame conveying, buffering and fastening operations to be carried out in parallel, which greatly shortens the processing cycle of a single frame and improves the overall production cycle.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment is a flipping and paper-inserting device 100, which is used to flip the edges, feed the paper, and insert the paper. It includes two sub-modules 10, and a material buffer area is formed between the two sub-modules 10 to buffer a set number of edges 200. The sub-module 10 includes a first driving member 1, a bracket 2 driven by the first driving member 1 to move along the Y direction, a flipping module 3 disposed on the bracket 2 and facing the material buffer area, and a feeding and paper-inserting module 4 disposed on the bracket 2 and located on the Y-direction side of the flipping module 3. The feeding and paper-inserting module 4 and the material buffer area are respectively located on the Y-direction sides of the flipping module 3.

[0019] The support 2 has a support facade (not shown in the figure) facing the material buffer area, and a through window 21 extending through both sides in the Y direction is provided on the support facade. In this embodiment, the support 2 includes a horizontal support base 22, a pair of support columns 23 disposed on the horizontal support base 22, and a connecting beam 24 that pulls the tops of the pair of support columns 23 together. The space between the support columns 23 forms the through window 21 so that the feeding paper plug module 4 can clamp the paper spacer 300, move it along the Y direction through the through window 21, and place it at the edge end of the buffer in the material buffer area.

[0020] The flipping module 3 includes a second drive member 31 fixed on the bracket 2, a first support plate 32 driven by the second drive member 31 to move up and down on the support column 23, a third drive member 33 fixed on the first support plate 32, a flipping plate 34 driven by the third drive member 33 to flip around the Y-axis, a clamping member 35 fixed on the surface of the flipping plate 34 facing the material buffer area and used to support the end of the frame, and a pair of alignment clamping components 36 disposed on the flipping plate 34 and used to perform X-direction position alignment clamping on the frame group sitting on the clamping member 35.

[0021] The flipping module 3 is movably mounted on the pair of support columns 23. When it is necessary to flip the edge of the material buffer area, the first support plate 32 descends to a low position, and the clamping parts 35 in the two sub-modules 10 move closer to each other along the Y direction to clamp the edge. Then it rises to a set height and is driven by the third drive part 33 to achieve a 180° flip of the edge, while making way for the material feeding and paper-inserting module 4 to perform the paper-inserting operation.

[0022] To accommodate various width specifications of frame assemblies on the clamping member 35, the alignment clamping assembly 36 is adjustable in position along the X direction and mounted on the flip plate 34. Specifically, the flip plate 34 is provided with a slide rail 37, and the alignment clamping assembly 36 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 37 and fixed by a fixing member after the position is adjusted. The alignment clamping assembly 36 includes a first cylinder 361 and an alignment clamping member 362 that is driven by the first cylinder 361 to move along the X direction.

[0023] The paper feeding module 4 includes a paper feeding assembly 41 mounted on the support 2, a paper pulling assembly 42 that pulls the paper 300 in the paper feeding assembly 41 out a set length in the X direction, a paper clamping assembly 43 that is mounted along the paper pulling section and is used to clamp the paper, a cutting assembly 44 that is mounted close to the paper feeding assembly 41 and cuts the paper after it has been pulled out a set length, and a transfer assembly 45 that drives the paper clamping assembly 43 to move in space to place the paper.

[0024] The paper feeding assembly 41 is a conventional roll feeding assembly structure.

[0025] The paper separator pulling assembly 42 includes a fourth driving member 421 fixed on the bracket 2, a second support plate 422 driven by the fourth driving member 421 to move in the X direction, and a first gripper assembly 423 fixed on the second support plate 422. The fourth driving member 421 drives the first gripper assembly 423 to clamp the end of the paper separator and pull it out a set length in the X direction to achieve paper pulling.

[0026] The paper separator clamping assembly 43 includes a third support plate 431 and a plurality of second gripper assemblies 432 arranged at intervals along the X direction on the third support plate 431. The second gripper assemblies 432 are arranged along the paper separator pull-out direction and together clamp the paper separator 300.

[0027] The paper separator clamping assembly 43 and the flipping module 3 are located on the Y-direction sides of the paper separator pulling assembly 42, respectively. The paper separator clamping assembly 43 clamps the paper separator 300 pulled out by the paper separator pulling assembly 42, moves along the Y-direction under the drive of the transfer assembly 45, passes through the through window 21 and enters the material buffer area from below the flipping module 3, and places the paper separator 300 at a designated position at the end of the frame group of the material buffer area.

[0028] The cutting assembly 44 includes a second cylinder 441 and a pneumatic scissors 442 that are driven by the second cylinder 441 to move along the Y direction. The second cylinder 441 drives the pneumatic scissors 442 to move along the Y direction, switching between a waiting position and a working position. At the working position, the pneumatic scissors 442 cut the paper divider 300.

[0029] The transfer assembly 45 includes a third cylinder 451 fixed on the bracket 2, a fourth support plate 452 driven by the third cylinder 451 to move up and down, and a fourth cylinder 453 fixed on the fourth support plate 452. The third support plate 451 is slidably disposed on the fourth support plate 452 along the Y direction and is driven by the fourth cylinder 453 to move along the Y direction. The transfer assembly 45 enables the paper clamping assembly 43 to move up and down and in the Y direction.

[0030] The working process of the flipping paper-filling device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: the material buffer area buffers a set number of borders to obtain a first positive border group; the two clamping members 35 in the flipping module 3 move closer to each other, clamping and supporting the bottom ends of the first positive border group, and the straightening clamping component 36 clamps and straightens the X-direction sides of the two ends of the first positive border group; the clamping members 35 move the first positive border group to a high position, and under the drive of the third driving member 33, the first positive border group is flipped 180° to obtain a reverse border group; during this process, the feeding paper-filling module 4 completes the feeding, pulling, clamping, and cutting of the paper separator 300; specifically, the paper feeding component 41 continuously supplies strip-shaped paper separators 300, and the paper pulling component 42 pulls the paper from the paper feeding component 41. The head of the paper separator 300 is pulled out to a set length along the X direction. The paper separator clamping component 43 clamps the pulled-out paper separator 300, and the cutting component 44 cuts it off at the tail end of the paper separator 300. When the first positive frame group is lifted to a higher position, the second positive frame group enters the material buffer area one after another. After the second positive frame group moves into place, the transfer component 45 drives the paper separator clamping component 43 to move along the Y direction, driving the paper separator 300 to pass under the flipping module 3 and be placed at the designated positions at both ends of the second positive frame group, completing the paper separator placement. Then, the second driving component 31 drives the clamping component 35 to descend with the reverse frame group, and engages with the second positive frame group below, completing the engagement of the positive and negative frames and the insertion of the paper separator between the positive and negative frames.

[0031] 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.
