[0014] The solar cell module connection box removal device 200 of the present invention is for removing a connection box 802 from a photoelectric plate 801 of a solar cell module 800 having a photoelectric plate 801 and at least one connection box 802 provided on the back surface of the photoelectric plate 801, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0015] More specifically, the solar cell module connection box removal device 200 of the present invention is communicatively connected to a control equipment (not shown) and can automate the removal work of the connection box 802 of the solar cell module 800 by being controlled by the control equipment.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, a removal device 200 for a solar cell module junction box of this embodiment includes a frame mechanism 3, a mounting mechanism 4, a removal mechanism 5, and a storage mechanism 6.

[0017] 1, the frame mechanism 3 is configured to have an entrance 301 opening in the front direction and an exit 302 opening in the rear direction, and defines a work space 30 (i.e., a space for performing the removal work) inside, which communicates with the entrance 301 and the exit 302. Here, the solar cell module 800 to be treated can be entered into the work space 30 (i.e., into the removal device 200) through the entrance 301 of the frame mechanism 3, while the treated solar cell module 800 (one from which the connection box 802 has already been removed, i.e., the photoelectric plate 801) can be led out of the work space 30 to the outside of the removal device 200 through the exit 302 of the frame mechanism 3.

[0018] In this embodiment, the frame mechanism 3 is assembled from a plurality of rods as shown in Fig. 1. If necessary, the frame mechanism 3 may be configured to employ wall panels (not shown) that, together with the plurality of rods, define a working space 30. Here, the frame mechanism 3 is not a feature of the present invention, and therefore, without further detailed description thereof, it is believed that a person skilled in the art can understand it based on the contents of the present invention, and is not limited to the above disclosure and illustration.

[0019] 1, 2, 3, and 5, the mounting mechanism 4 is provided on the frame mechanism 3 and is configured to be able to horizontally mount the solar cell module 800. The mounting mechanism 4 includes a mounting means 41, at least one abutting and stopping means 42, and two positioning means 43.

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the loading means 41 is configured to horizontally load the solar cell module 800 that has been introduced into the work space 30 through the entrance 301 of the frame mechanism 3 from the front to the rear and placed within the frame mechanism 3, and also to transport the solar cell module 800 in the rear direction so that the processed solar cell module 800, i.e., the photoelectric plate 801 without the connection box 802 attached, can be removed from the removal device 200 through the exit 302 of the frame mechanism 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, the loading means 41 has two transfer belts 411 extending in the front-rear direction and arranged at a distance from each other in the left-right direction, as shown in Figures 1 to 3. The two transfer belts 411 are configured to be able to transport the solar cell module 800 while loading it thereon, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Each transfer belt 411 is an endless track type belt, as shown in Figure 5.

[0022] Here, the loading means 41 is not limited to the above-mentioned one. In other embodiments, the loading means 41 may be designed to be, for example, a roller type, that is, to have a plurality of rollers extending along the left-right direction and arranged along the front-rear direction.

[0023] 1 to 3, the abutment stopper means 42 is disposed close to the exit 302 of the frame mechanism 3, and can be controlled to move in the vertical direction relative to the loading means 41 between a abutment stopper position that is higher than the upper surface of the loading means 41 and a lead-out position that is lower than the upper surface of the loading means 41. Here, the number of abutment stopper means 42 is two as shown in Fig. 1, but is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, only one abutment stopper means 42 may be provided or more than two abutment stopper means 42 may be provided as long as the solar cell module 800 can be positioned.

[0024] More specifically, when the abutting and stopping means 42 is in the abutting and stopping position, the corresponding stopping means 42 prevents the solar cell module 800 from passing through the exit 302, and the solar cell module 800 conveyed toward the exit 302 can be positioned by abutting against the abutting and stopping means 42. When the abutting and stopping means 42 is in the leading-out position, the solar cell module 800 can be led out of the removal device 200 through the exit 302.

[0025] In this embodiment, the stopper means 42 is a telescopic cylinder that can be extended and retracted in the vertical direction. However, this is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the stopper means 42 may be configured to be switched between the stopper position and the lead-out position by, for example, swinging.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, each positioning means 43 includes a guide rail portion 431, a pair of clamping portions 432, a power transmission portion 434, and a driving portion 433.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the guide rail portion 431 is provided on the frame mechanism 3 so as to extend along the left-right direction.

[0028] The pair of clamping parts 432 are provided on the guide rail part 431 so as to be movable in the left-right direction as shown in FIGS.

[0029] The power transmission portion 434 is connected to the pair of clamping portions 432 as shown in FIGS.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the drive unit 433 is provided on the frame mechanism 3 and is connected to the power transmission unit 434, and is capable of driving the power transmission unit 434.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the power transmission unit 434 includes a rotating seat 435 and a pair of power transmission rods 436.

[0032] 2 and 3, the rotating seat 435 is connected to the driving unit 433 and is provided on the frame mechanism 3 so as to be capable of horizontal rotation with respect to the frame mechanism 3. The driving unit 433 can drive the rotation of the rotating seat 435.

[0033] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a pair of power transmission rods 436 have one end eccentrically pivoted to the rotating sheet 435 and the other end pivoted to a pair of clamping portions 432, and are arranged symmetrically along the radial direction across the rotating sheet 435.

[0034] The driving unit 433 is a motor connected to the rotating seat 435. When the driving unit 433 drives the rotation of the rotating seat 435, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the pair of power transmission rods 436 rotate and swing relative to each other in the left-right direction due to the rotation of the rotating seat 435, and the pair of clamping parts 432 are linked by the pair of power transmission rods 436 to move toward and away from each other in the left-right direction along the guide rail parts 431.

[0035] Specifically, when the drive unit 433 drives the power transmission unit 434, the pair of clamping units 432 in each positioning means 43 move closer to or farther away from each other in cooperation with the power transmission unit 434. When the pair of clamping units 432 are close to each other, the pair of clamping units 432 presses the left and right sides of the solar cell module 800 while making contact with each other, thereby accurately correcting the position of the solar cell module 800 that is tilted during transportation, and can clamp and position the solar cell module 800 placed by the placement means 41.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, the removal mechanism 5 is provided on the frame mechanism 3, and includes a horizontal movement adjustment means 51, a movement adjustment means 52, a base 53, a removal means 54, a push-out means 55, and a removal drive means 56.

[0037] 1, 4 and 5, the horizontal movement adjustment means 51 is provided on the frame mechanism 3, and is disposed above the loading means 41 of the loading mechanism 4 so as to be spaced apart from the loading means 41. The movement adjustment means 52 is provided on the horizontal movement adjustment means 51. The base 53 is connected to the movement adjustment means 52. The removal means 54 and the push-out means 55 are both provided on the base 53. The removal drive means 56 is provided on the base 53, and is connected to the removal means 54.

[0038] The horizontal movement adjustment means 51 can horizontally move the movement adjustment means 52 in the front-rear and left-right directions by being controlled. The horizontal movement adjustment means 51 includes a pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511, a second horizontal movement adjustment part 512, a slide stage 513, two first horizontal movement drive parts 514, and a second horizontal movement drive part 515, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 5.

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511 extend along the front-rear direction and are disposed at an interval along the left-right direction.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5, the second horizontal movement adjustment part 512 extends in the left-right direction and is positioned so as to be able to move in the front-back direction along the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511 so as to straddle the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511.

[0041] 1, 2, 4, and 5, the slide stage 513 is disposed so as to be able to slide in the left-right direction along the second horizontal movement adjustment part 512. The slide stage 513 also has the movement adjustment means 52 attached thereto.

[0042] The two first horizontal movement drive units 514 are respectively disposed on the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment units 511 and connected to the second horizontal movement adjustment units 512, as shown in FIGS.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the second horizontal movement drive unit 515 is provided on the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512 and is connected to the slide stage 513.

[0044] The two first horizontal movement drive units 514 can be controlled to drive the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512 to move back and forth along the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment units 511, while the second horizontal movement drive unit 515 can be controlled to drive the slide stage 513 to move back and forth along the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512 in the left and right directions.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment units 511 and the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512 are both linear rails, and the two first horizontal movement driving units 514 and second horizontal movement driving units 515 can respectively drive the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512 to move along the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment units 511, and the slide stage 513 to move along the second horizontal movement adjustment unit 512.

[0046] The pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511 and second horizontal movement adjustment parts 512 can be, for example, ball screws, air cylinders, or other guide rails in addition to the linear rails, but are not limited thereto. Here, the aspects of the pair of first horizontal movement adjustment parts 511 and second horizontal movement adjustment parts 512 are not a feature of the present invention, and therefore, even without further detailed description thereof, it is believed that a person skilled in the art can understand them based on the contents of the present invention.

[0047] The movement adjustment means 52 is controlled to move the base 53 in the up-down direction. As shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, the movement adjustment means 52 includes a rod unit 521, a screw rod 523, a connecting sheet 524, and a lifting drive unit 525.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the rod unit 521 extends in the vertical direction and passes through the slide stage 513, and is capable of moving relative to the slide stage 513.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, the screw rod 523 extends in the vertical direction, passes through and is screw-connected to the slide stage 513, and its upper and lower ends are connected to the base 53 and can rotate relative to the base 53.

[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the connecting sheet 524 is disposed so as to straddle the upper ends of the rod unit 521 and the threaded rod 523.

[0051] The lifting drive unit 525 is mounted on the connecting seat 524 and connected to the screw rod 523, as shown in FIG.

[0052] In this embodiment, the rod unit 521 has two lifting rods 522 as shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5. Each lifting rod 522 extends in the vertical direction and penetrates the slide stage 513, and is configured so that both ends are connected to the connecting sheet 524 and the base 53. The lifting drive unit 525 is controlled to move the screw rod 523 in the vertical direction while rotating relative to the slide stage 513, thereby interlocking the rod unit 521, the connecting sheet 524, and the lifting drive unit 525 to move relative to the slide stage 513, thereby allowing the base 53 to move relative to the slide stage 513.

[0053] It should be noted that the embodiment of the movement adjustment means 52 is not limited to the above. Furthermore, in other embodiments, for example, one lift rod 522 of the rod unit 521 may be provided.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, the base 53 comprises an upper plate 531 arranged horizontally so as to straddle the lower ends of the rod unit 521 and the screw rod 523, a stop plate 533 extending so as to protrude downward from the rear side of the upper plate 531, a base plate 532 arranged so as to protrude downward from the front side of the upper plate 531 so as to leave a gap between the stop plate 533 and the base plate 532, and a first guide rod unit 534 extending along the horizontal direction (i.e., the front-to-rear direction) and having both ends connected to the stop plate 533 and the base plate 532, respectively.

[0055] 4 to 6, the first guide rod unit 534 has two first guide rods 535 arranged at an interval along the left-right direction. Each of the first guide rods 535 extends along the front-rear direction and both ends are connected to the stop plate 533 and the base plate 532, respectively.

[0056] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the removal means 54 is provided on the base 53 so as to be able to move along the horizontal direction, and is able to move along the front-to-rear direction. The removal means 54 is equipped with a cutting blade 542 that is arranged below the upper plate 531 of the base 53 and spaced apart from the upper plate 531 so as to straddle two first guide rods 535, two positioning plates 544 that are arranged on the other side (upward facing surface) of the cutting blade 542 opposite to the one side (downward facing surface) facing the photoelectric plate 801, and are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction, and a cover plate 547 that straddles the two positioning plates 544 and is spaced apart from the cutting blade 542.

[0057] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the removal means 54 has a storage space 540 defined by a cover plate 547, two positioning plates 544, and a cutting blade 542, and also has an opening 541 that communicates with the storage space 540 and opens toward the rear.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 6, a guide plate portion 545 extending away from the opening 541 is formed at the end of each positioning plate 544 of the removing means 54 adjacent to the opening 541 .

[0059] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6, the cutting blade 542 is formed with a cutting edge 543 that protrudes to the outside of the accommodation space 540 through the opening 541. The cutting edge 543 is a single-edged type with the blade surface facing upward. Of course, this is not limited thereto, and the cutting blade 542 may be of another type in other embodiments. Also, the cutting blade 542 can be separated from or abutted against the stop plate 533 of the base 53, that is, the stop plate 533 is for stopping the cutting blade 542.

[0060] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the pushing-out means 55 is provided on the substrate 532 of the base 53, and protrudes toward the retaining plate 533 of the base 53 and extends into the accommodation space 540 along the front-rear direction.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 6, the pushing means 55 includes two extension rods 551 arranged to extend rearward from the base plate 532 into the storage space 540 so as to be parallel to each other with a gap therebetween along the left-right direction, and a pushing portion 552 having an upright shape and arranged to straddle the rear ends of the two extension rods 551 and to block the opening 541 of the removal means 54.

[0062] When the removal means 54 is controlled by the removal driving means 56 described later and moves rearward relative to the base 53, the pushing-out portion 552 of the pushing-out means 55 is moved to the front of the removal means 54 relative to the removal means 54, so that the opening 541 of the removal means 54 becomes exposed.

[0063] 5, the removal drive means 56 is located between the base plate 532 of the base 53 and the stop plate 533, and is connected to the removal means 54. The removal means 54 is attached to the first guide rod unit 534, and can be moved along the extension direction of the first guide rod unit 534 (i.e., the front-rear direction with respect to the stop plate 533) by the drive of the removal drive means 56. Therefore, the removal means 54 can be moved between a peeling position and a return position by the drive of the removal drive means 56.

[0064] In this embodiment, the removal drive means 56 is a telescopic cylinder that can be extended and retracted in the front-rear direction, such as a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. Both ends of the telescopic cylinder in the front-rear direction are connected to the cutting blade 542 and the stopper plate 533, respectively. Of course, this is not limited thereto, and the removal drive means 56 may be of another type in other embodiments.

[0065] As shown in FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, the storage mechanism 6 includes a guide rail means 61, two side plates 62, and a bottom plate 63.

[0066] As shown in Figs. 1, 7 and 8, the guide rail means 61 is provided on the frame mechanism 3 so as to extend along the horizontal direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment).

[0067] As shown in FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, the two side plates 62 are respectively arranged on the guide rail means 61 so as to be spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide rail means 61.

[0068] As shown in Figures 1, 7 and 8, the bottom plate 63 is arranged on the guide rail means 61 so that it can straddle the two side plates 62, and can move along the guide rail means 61 between a loading position and a discharging position relative to the two side plates 62 by being controlled by the guide rail means 61.

[0069] In this embodiment, the guide rail means 61 extends in the left-right direction and includes two guide rails 611 that are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and one of the guide rails 611 is a linear guide rail with a motor. The bottom plate 63, together with the two side plates 62, has a U-shaped cross section along the left-right direction that opens upward, and can move along the left-right direction across the two guide rails 611.

[0070] The guide rail means 61 can be controlled to move the bottom plate 63 in the extending direction of the guide rail means 61. As a result, the bottom plate 63 can be switched between the above-mentioned loading position (position shown on the upper side in FIG. 8) and the discharge position (position shown on the lower side in FIG. 8) as shown in FIG. 8.

[0071] As shown in Figure 8, when the bottom plate 63 is in the loading position, the bottom plate 63 and the two side plates 62 define a storage tank 60 that opens upward, and the connection box 802 pushed out of the storage space 540 by the pushing means 55 can be stored in the storage tank 60.

[0072] On the other hand, when the bottom plate 63 is in the discharge position, the bottom plate 63 separates from one of the side plates 62, creating a discharge port 601 that opens downward in the storage tank 60, and the connection box 802 stored in the storage tank 60 can be discharged through the discharge port 601.

[0073] Hereinafter, the operation of removing junction box 802 from photoelectric plate 801 in solar cell module 800 using solar cell module junction box removal device 200 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0074] The operation of removing a junction box 802 using the removal device 200 for a junction box for a solar cell module according to the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9 to Fig. 11. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the removal mechanism 5 of the removal device 200 for a junction box for a solar cell module according to the present embodiment peels the junction box 802 from the photoelectric plate 801, Fig. 10 is a partial perspective view showing a state in which the removal mechanism 5 of the removal device 200 for a junction box for a solar cell module according to the present embodiment is above the storage mechanism 6, and Fig. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the removal mechanism 5 of the removal device 200 for a junction box for a solar cell module according to the present embodiment pushes the junction box 802 into the storage mechanism 6.

[0075] First, when the removal device 200 for a solar cell module junction box according to this embodiment performs a removal operation on the junction box 802 of the solar cell module 800, the solar cell module 800 to be processed is introduced into the working space 30 through the entrance 301 of the frame mechanism 3, and the loading means 41 of the loading mechanism 4 transports the solar cell module 800 backward. At this time, the abutting and stopping means 42 is driven to move to the above-mentioned abutting and stopping position, and the solar cell module 800 is abutted against the abutting and stopping means 42 to be positioned.

[0076] Secondly, the drive section 433 of each positioning means 43 is actuated, and the pair of clamping sections 432 of each positioning means 43 approach each other, and the solar cell module 800 is pressed and positioned while being brought into contact with each other from both the left and right sides.

[0077] Thirdly, as shown in Figures 1, 5 and 9, the control facility controls the horizontal movement adjustment means 51 to move the movement adjustment means 52 in the front-rear or left-right direction in accordance with the obtained data on the size standard of the solar cell module 800. This causes the blade tip 543 of the removal means 54 and the stop plate 533 of the base 53 to move upward on both the front and rear sides of the junction box 802 of the solar cell module 800. At this time, the stop plate 533 approaches the upper rear side of the junction box 802.

[0078] Fourthly, by controlling the movement adjustment means 52, the base 53 moves toward the photoelectric plate 801 of the solar cell module 800, and the detachment means 54 is linked by the base 53 to move toward the photoelectric plate 801 of the solar cell module 800 until it comes into contact with the photoelectric plate 801. As a result, the stopper plate 533 and the cutting blade 542 come into contact with the rear surface of the photoelectric plate 801 of the solar cell module 800 (i.e., the surface on which the junction box 802 is attached), and are positioned on both the front and rear sides of the junction box 802. At this time, the opening 541 of the detachment means 54 opens toward the junction box 802.

[0079] 9, the removal driving means 56 is controlled so that the removal driving means 56 contracts along the front-rear direction, and the removal means 54 moves toward the junction box 802 along the back surface of the photoelectric plate 801 while contacting and abutting the photoelectric plate 801, and the cutting blade 542 of the removal means 54 drives the removal means 54 to peel and remove the junction box 802 from the photoelectric plate 801. More specifically, the cutting edge 543 of the cutting blade 542 cuts into the lower surface of the junction box 802 and proceeds backward to break the adhesive between the photoelectric plate 801 and the junction box 802, and peels the junction box 802 from the photoelectric plate 801. At this time, the pushing means 55 is moved to the front of the removal means 54 relative to the removal means 54, and the opening 541 of the removal means 54 is exposed. Thus, the junction box 802 being peeled off from the photoelectric plate 801 or the junction box 802 having been peeled off from the photoelectric plate 801 can enter the accommodation space 540 through the opening 541 .

[0080] Furthermore, as the cutting blade 542 moves rearward to peel off the connection box 802, the removal means 54 moves rearward relative to the connection box 802, and the guide plate portions 545 of the two positioning plates 544, which extend away from each other in the left-right direction, guide the connection box 802 peeled off from the photoelectric plate 801 into the storage space 540, and the two positioning plates 544 position the connection box 802 between the two positioning plates 544 and the cover plate 547.

[0081] In addition, when cutting edge 543 of cutting blade 542 reaches the front side of retaining plate 533, removal means 54 is in the peeling position, and as opening 541 moves away from push-out means 55, removal means 54 approaches substrate 532, cutting blade 542 peels connection box 802 from photoelectric plate 801, and after connection box 802 is completely peeled off, it is accommodated in storage space 540.

[0082] Fifth, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the movement adjustment means 52 is controlled to move the removal means 54 housing the base 53 and the connection box 802 upward to a position higher than the storage mechanism 6.

[0083] Then, the horizontal movement adjustment means 51 is controlled to move the base 53 and the removal means 54 to directly above the storage mechanism 6 via the movement adjustment means 52. The removal drive means 56 is controlled to move the removal means 54 forward relative to the stop plate 533 (i.e., return to the return position described above). When the removal means 54 moves to the return position, the opening 541 approaches the push-out means 55, while the removal means 54 moves away from the stop plate 533, and when the removal means 54 is in the return position, the push-out means 55 pushes out the peeled connection box 802 from the storage space 540. As a result, the pushed-out connection box 802 falls downward toward the storage mechanism 6, is stored in the storage tank 60 of the storage mechanism 6, and is placed on the bottom plate 63.

[0084] It should be noted that after the removal mechanism 5 places the removed connection box 802 in the storage tank 60, if it is necessary to remove another connection box 802 in the solar cell module 800 being processed, the removal mechanism 5 is controlled to continue to perform the removal operation of the next connection box 802, and the removal mechanism 5 places the next removed connection box 802 in the storage tank 60 of the storage mechanism 6.

[0085] 7 and 8, when the junction box 802 is present in the storage tank 60, when the guide rail means 61 of the storage mechanism 6 is driven, the bottom plate 63 is controlled to move along the guide rail means 61 from the loading position to the discharge position relative to the two side plates 62. At this time, a discharge port 601 appears on the bottom side of the storage tank 60, and the junction box 802 stored in the storage tank 60 is discharged through the discharge port 601. Then, after the junction box 802 is discharged, the bottom plate 63 is returned from the discharge position to the loading position.

[0086] In this embodiment, a collection container (not shown) for accommodating the connection box 802 is provided below the storage tank 60.

[0087] In summary, the solar cell module connection box removal device 200 of the present invention can automate the removal of the connection box 802 of the solar cell module 800 by using the configuration of the movement adjustment means 52, base 53, removal means 54, and removal drive means 56 in the removal mechanism 5.

[0088] In addition, the removal means 54 of the removal mechanism 5 in the removal device 200 of this embodiment moves along the back surface of the photoelectric plate 801 to peel and remove the connection box 802 from the photoelectric plate 801, thereby preventing the photoelectric plate 801 from being crushed during the operation of removing the connection box 802, and effectively preventing the glass substrate of the photoelectric plate 801 from being compressed and cracked.

[0089] Furthermore, by installing a storage mechanism 6 in the removal device 200 of this embodiment, multiple removed connection boxes 802 can be temporarily stored, and the removal work can be easily performed even if there are multiple connection boxes 802 in the solar cell module 800.

[0090] Although numerous specific details are set forth above to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that one or more other embodiments may be practiced without the specific details.

[0091] Although the preferred embodiments and modified examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these, and is intended to encompass all modifications and equivalent configurations as various configurations falling within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation.
