Background technology
Along with global greenhouse effect is day by day serious, the exhaustion day by day of oil, natural gas, coal, environmental protection and energy saving have become the theme of world development.The regenerative resource that solar energy is unlimited as a kind of reserves, clean, safe is the developing direction of global new forms of energy.Under the guidance of national novel energy and regenerative resource industrial policy and under the drive of American-European solar energy market solid demand, domestic solar photovoltaic industry develop rapidly in recent years.At present, China has become solar cell and has manufactured big country, has the maximum manufacture of solar cells producer in the whole world and production capacity over half.
The fast development of solar photovoltaic industry also promotes the flourish of domestic photovoltaic manufacturing equipment industry.It is early stage that solar cell industry develops, and solar battery sheet manufacturing enterprise does not cause the demand to automatic production line, and production line is slapped together by semi-automatic, the automation equipment that isolate substantially.Along with the explosive growth of global solar photovoltaic industry, suitable in order to make field of solar energy unit cost of electricity-generating be reduced to conventional power generation usage cost, solar battery sheet manufacturer more and more an urgent demand can use high integrated, supermatic production line.In future, the height of automaticity will determine that in certain aspect who is only the minimum manufacturer of production cost, and can simply copy in factory subsequently through well-designed and automatic factory's system of high-efficiency operation, and gets out of the red rapidly.Comply with the growth requirement of photovoltaic industry, external solar battery sheet production equipment just by semi-automation to full-automatic, intelligent transition so that improve production efficiency and product quality, reduce production cost.
At present, the chip transmission between each technique unit of crystal silicon solar batteries slice assembly line loads silicon chip with stacking type or card slot type two kinds of modes, then adopts dolly a dead lift.This mode efficiency is low, is unfavorable for large-scale production.But, because the initial stage of crystal silicon solar batteries production line development does not consider full-automatic production, thus various automation interface is not possessed, do not exist and each technique unit can be coupled together self-propagating material transmission system, there is not the automated handling method adapting to this production process yet.
In order to realize full-automatic large-scale production, the chip transmission between each technique unit must adopt automatic transmission system to realize.For this reason, must develop adapt to crystal silicon solar battery sheet automatic production line bin magazine logistic transmission system.Under this industry background, we have developed a series of logistics transmission module, logistic transmission system can be built according to customer demand, provide rapidly different production-scale crystal silicon solar batteries sheet to manufacture whole line automation solution.

In order to reduce to capture the collision between finger 26 and bin 100, the material of described crawl finger 26 can adopt polyurethane.
Simply introduce below in conjunction with the operation principle of accompanying drawing to the switching mechanism provided in above-described embodiment.
Please refer to Fig. 9 to Figure 15, Fig. 9 is the view that bin 100 arrives upturned position; Figure 10 is the view capturing bin 100; Figure 11 is the view of upset bin 100; Figure 12 is that bin 100 turn to horizontal view; Figure 13 is the view of placing bin 100; Figure 14 is the view that roll-over unit 2 resets; Figure 15 is the schematic diagram of roll-over unit 2 when being reset to vertical position.
As shown in Figure 9, in figure, B indicates bin direct of travel, and under initial condition, the Standard Cylinder of switching mechanism, the second sliding desk type cylinder 21 and parallel air gripper 24 are in contraction state, and the first sliding desk type cylinder 19 is in the state of stretching out.When bin 100 is transferred to flip bit by conveyer, the bin 100 on conveyer detects signal to level sensor, and now transport tape is out of service.
As shown in Figure 10, in figure, C indicates parallel air gripper 24 to open, and D indicates the first sliding desk type cylinder 19 to shrink, and E indicates the second sliding desk type cylinder 21 to stretch out; First sliding desk type cylinder 19 of orthogonal motion unit 3 shrinks, and the second sliding desk type cylinder 21 stretches out, thus drives placement unit 4 near bin 100, and the parallel air gripper 24 of last placement unit 4 opens, and makes to capture finger 26 and clamps bin 100.
As shown in Figure 11, Figure 12, in Figure 11, F indicates the first sliding desk type cylinder 19 to stretch out, and in Figure 12, G indicates Standard Cylinder to stretch out; First sliding desk type cylinder 19 of orthogonal motion unit 3 stretches out, and drive bin 100 to leave transport tape, then the Standard Cylinder of roll-over unit 2 is stretched out.Drive orthogonal motion unit 3 and placement unit 4 to overturn, till the proximity switch on Standard Cylinder detects that cylinder is elongated to extreme position, thus drive the bin 100 captured on finger 26 to turn to landscape positions.
As shown in figure 13, in figure, H indicates parallel air gripper 24 to shrink, and E indicates the second sliding desk type cylinder 21 to shrink; Parallel air gripper 24 on placement unit 4 shrinks, and drive crawl finger 26 to unclamp bin 100, thus bin 100 is placed on another transport tape, completes bin 100 from vertically placing the upset thread-changing campaign becoming traverse.
As shown in Figure 14, Figure 15, in Figure 14, I indicates Standard Cylinder to shrink, and in Figure 15, B indicates bin direct of travel; The Standard Cylinder of roll-over unit 2 is contracted to initial position, drives orthogonal motion unit 3 and placement unit 4 to overturn simultaneously.Now the position of placement unit 4 becomes vertically, thus the mechanism completing switching mechanism degree resets, and the turning next bin 100 of mechanism, is placed on the bin 100 on cross conveyor, according to demand can two to transmission.
In addition, it should be noted that, unless stated otherwise or point out, otherwise the term " first " in specification, " second ", " the 3rd " etc. describe only for distinguishing each assembly, element, step etc. in specification, instead of for representing logical relation between each assembly, element, step or ordinal relation etc.
