Abstract

A movable solar module disassembling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a movable container unit that is hollow, can be moved by itself or by external power, and has at least one door being able to expose the inside by opening and closing, a frame separation unit that is disposed in the movable container unit, includes a frame separation blade pressing and separating the frame from the module body, is supplied with the solar module, and discharges the module body after separating the frame, and a disassembling unit that is disposed continuously with the frame separation unit in the movable container unit, includes a scrapper scraping and separating the stacked film from the glass plate, is supplied with the module body, and disassembles and discharges the module body into the stacked film and the glass plate.

Claims (18)

1. A movable solar module disassembling apparatus for disassembling a solar module including a glass plate, a stacked film including a solar cell stacked on the glass plate, and a frame surrounding a module body including the glass plate and the stacked film, the movable solar module disassembling apparatus comprising:

a movable container unit that is hollow, can be moved by itself or by external power, and has at least one door being able to expose an inside by opening and closing;

a frame separation unit that is disposed in the movable container unit, includes a frame separation blade pressing and separating the frame from the module body, is supplied with the solar module from a side, and discharges the module body from another side after separating the frame; and

a disassembling unit that is disposed continuously with the frame separation unit in the movable container unit, includes a scrapper scraping and separating the stacked film from the glass plate, is supplied with the module body from a side, and disassembles and discharges the module body into the stacked film and the glass plate.

2. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movable container unit has a plurality of surface; and

the movable solar module disassembling apparatus further comprises:

a battery unit disposed in parallel with and in contact with a first surface of the plurality of surfaces of the movable container unit; and

a power conversion unit disposed in parallel with and in close contact with a second surface different from the first surface.

3. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first surface is a floor of the movable container unit and the second surface is at least any one of sides of the movable container unit which are perpendicular to the first surface.

4. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a dust processing unit that is disposed on a third surface of the plurality of surfaces and suctions and processes dust in the movable container unit.

5. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a solar photovoltaic power generation unit that is installed outside the movable container unit and produces power with sunlight.

6. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a movable supply unit that moves up the solar module from a ground outside the movable container unit, supplies the solar module into the movable container unit, and can be moved by itself or by external power.

7. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the frame separation unit further includes a position adjustment plate that adjusts a vertical position of the solar module supplied from the side by supporting at a bottom and moving up and down the solar module such that the frame separation blade and the frame is at least partially cross each other.

8. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a plurality of frame separation blades extend from an inner side of the frame to an outer side of the frame and press different surfaces of the frame, and at least one of the blades has a recessed groove recessed inward on a blade surface and separates a junction box attached to an outer surface of the stacked film simultaneously with the frame while keeping the junction box in the recessed groove.

9. The movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the disassembling unit includes: a guide bar that is disposed in parallel with the glass plate and to which the scraper is movably coupled; and a moving heating plate that is movably coupled ahead of the scraper of the guide bar and separates at least a portion of the stacked film from the glass plate by heating the stacked film ahead of the scraper.

10. A movable solar module disassembling system comprising:

the movable solar module disassembling apparatus of claim 1 ; and

an assistant movable disassembling apparatus comprising at least one of an assistant power unit, a crushing unit, and a separated-part loading unit which are disposed in the movable container unit.
