Description

Automatic frame separation device for solar modules

[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic frame separation device for solar modules, and more specifically, to an automatic frame separation device for solar modules used for separation, collection, and recycling of solar modules whose service life has expired.

[0002]

[0003] Solar panels are made of metal, synthetic resin, and silicon, and are large and heavy. Recyclable materials, including aluminum and glass, must be separated and reduced in volume before disposal or recycling.

[0004] The weight per component of these solar panels is as follows:

[0005] Glass accounts for 67.5% of the total weight, aluminum frame accounts for 16.3% of the total weight, solar cell part accounts for 3.41% of the total weight, EVA accounts for 6.53% of the total weight, backsheet accounts for 3.14% of the total weight, junction box accounts for 1.75% of the total weight, copper accounts for 1.17% of the total weight, tin accounts for 0.12% of the total weight, and lead accounts for 0.08% of the total weight.

[0006] Therefore, solar panels are bulky and heavy, and recyclable materials such as aluminum and glass must be separated and reduced in volume before disposal or recycling.

[0007] Here, the junction box and aluminum frame of the solar panel are mainly attached with silicone-based adhesive or adhesive seal.

[0008] At this time, the silicone adhesive used for attaching the junction box or the adhesive strength used for attaching the aluminum frame is known to be approximately 2 to 2.3 MPa.

[0009] This bonding strength is such that the junction box and aluminum frame require a force of approximately 400 kg, or 25 to 30 kgf / ㎠, to be separated from the solar panel.

[0010] In the past, the junction box and aluminum frame were separated manually one by one using manpower and tools, but this separation process not only increased time and cost, but also made quick disposal and recycling impossible.

[0011] From the above perspective, something like the “waste solar module separation and dismantling device” of Patent No. 10-2154030 (hereinafter referred to as “prior art”) can be cited.

[0012] However, the prior art focused on separating and collecting solar cells laminated in various layers from tempered glass, and had the limitation that the junction box and aluminum frame had to be separated one by one by the worker before separating and collecting the solar cells laminated in such layers.

[0013] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device that can assist in the separation and removal of the junction box and aluminum frame.

[0176] For reference, the symbols in the drawings not shown in FIGS. 9 to 15 refer to FIGS. 1 to 8.

[0177] First, the panel supply shaft (131) descends as shown in Fig. 9 and detects the solar modules (700) stacked in multiple stages on the loading cart (210), and then the first negative pressure transfer means (132) is operated to vacuum-absorb the solar module (700) at the top, and then the panel supply shaft (131) rises.

[0178] Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 10, when the moving frame (110) moves in the first direction along the ceiling frame (510) and the panel supply shaft (131) is lowered to place the solar module (700) on the work table (410), the operation of the first negative pressure transfer means (132) is stopped, and a vacuum suction state is generated through the fixing hole (411), so that the solar module (700) is fixedly placed on the work table (410).

[0179] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the moving frame (110) moves a certain distance along the ceiling frame (510) toward the entrance side of the work space, i.e., to the left side of FIG. 11, and then the panel fixing drive actuator (151) is operated so that the panel fixing body (150) presses and fixes the solar module (700) that is seated on the work table (410), and then the separation and removal operation of the outer frame (720) is performed as shown in FIG. 12.

[0180] Continuing, when the outer frame (720) is separated and removed by the operation of the first to fourth separation removal frames (420, 430, 440, 450), the panel fixing body (150) rises and the vacuum suction state through the fixing hole (4110) is released.

[0181] And, as shown in Fig. 13, the moving frame (110) moves a certain distance again toward the entrance of the work space along the ceiling frame (510), and then the panel discharge shaft (141) descends from the work table (410) toward the main panel (710) from which the outer frame (720) has been removed, and then the second negative pressure transfer means (142) connected to the second lifting body (140) is operated to suck up the main panel (710).

[0182] Afterwards, the panel discharge shaft (141) rises.

[0183] At this time, the main panel (710) is prepared for separation and discharge by the lowering and raising movements of the panel discharge shaft (141), and at the same time, the panel supply shaft (131) also descends to absorb the solar module (710) to be placed on the next work table (410) and then rises.

[0184] Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the moving frame (110) moves a certain distance along the ceiling frame (510) toward the exit side of the work space, i.e., to the right side of FIG. 14, and then the panel discharge shaft (141) descends toward the upper surface of the discharge table (310) and places the main panel (710) on the upper surface of the discharge support pin (330), and then the operation of the second negative pressure transfer means (142) is stopped, so that the second lifting body (140) is separated from the main panel (710) and the panel discharge shaft (141) rises.

[0185] At the same time, the settling and placement of the solar module (700) on the work table (410) will be repeated according to the lowering and raising of the panel supply shaft (131).

[0186] Continuing, a series of operations such as those in FIGS. 9 to 14 are repeatedly performed, and when it is detected that there is no solar module (700) on the loading cart (210), the moving frame (110) moves to the neutral position of the ceiling frame (510) as in FIG. 15, and all work processes are terminated.

[0187]

[0188] As described above, it can be seen that the present invention has as its basic technical idea the provision of a device for automatically separating the frame of a solar module, which can automatically perform a series of work processes from transporting a solar module whose service life has expired, separating and removing the outer frame from the main panel, and then collecting the solar module for discharge.
