Publication number: 20250065455Abstract: A removing device for removing a junction box from a solar cell module includes a carriage mechanism and a removing mechanism mounted on a frame mechanism. The removing mechanism includes a seat regulating module, an aligning and holding seat module and a removing seat which is moved by the seat regulating module toward a back plate of a solar panel unit, and a removing driving module which drives movement of the removing seat toward the junction box along the back plate of the solar panel unit so as to move a cutting edge of the removing sear into a juncture between the junction box and the back plate and remove the junction box. An automatic removing process is performed, and damage to the solar panel unit is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Yao-Hsien FU, Chia-Tsung HUNG
