Method and device for fully automatically selecting and packing photovoltaic modules

摘要

The disclosure relates to a method and to a device for fully automatically selecting and packing photovoltaic solar modules, for example, produced in mass production. The device may include the following characteristics: a production line, b) a quality checking device having devices for mechanical final testing and electrical final testing, c) an assembly device for module carriers, d) a device for distributing and stacking the solar modules in the horizontal and vertical direction according to particular selection criteria at acceptance locations corresponding to said selection criteria, e) devices for placing strips as spacers between stacked modules, wherein different types of strips can be taken from a magazine, f) devices for collating packages of a plurality of solar modules at each acceptance location, wherein aid devices each comprise a film wrapper, a protective cap applicator, and a strapping device.

主权项

1. A method for fully automatically selecting and packing photovoltaic solar modules which were produced in large batches, the method comprising:
(a) delivering solar modules of different quality on a production line from ongoing production, (b) passing the delivered solar modules through a quality testing device having devices for mechanical final tests and electrical final tests as well as a device for allocating an electronic identifier according to the quality level determined, and conveying the solar modules onward for packing only when the corresponding tests have been successfully passed and otherwise conveying to a stacking station for reject modules, (c) assigning the solar modules to corresponding customers according to the quality level determined and providing them with module carriers desired by the respective customer, (d) picking up the solar modules by a lifting sucker and conveying, via running rails, to corresponding removal stations according to their quality class or their customer and stacking them on top of one another in said stations, (e) automatically laying strips, as spacers, onto each stacked solar module until the desired delivery is complete, wherein the strips are dispensed by a strip magazine between the stacked modules, the strips in the strip magazine are of a plurality of different thicknesses and lengths, (f) wrapping a complete delivery by a film winder and providing the delivery with a protective cap on two sides or all four sides by a protective cap applicator and combining the delivery with strip-like packaging material in a region of the protective caps under stress by a strapping device.
