1. A high-speed layout method for a photovoltaic module, comprising:
configuring a module input unit and a module output unit, wherein the module input unit is configured to convey the photovoltaic module in a first direction, the module output unit is configured to convey the photovoltaic module in a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction;
configuring a tray transfer unit, wherein the tray transfer unit is configured to be capable of extending into a position below the module input unit to lift the photovoltaic module on the module input unit upwards, moving in the second direction in a space above the module output unit according to a layout requirement, descending and embedding below the module output unit, placing the photovoltaic module on the module output unit, and returning to the position below the module input unit in the second direction;
configuring a layout transfer unit, wherein the layout transfer unit is configured to be capable of absorbing battery strings, and placing the battery strings on the photovoltaic module according to the layout requirement;
dividing the battery strings on the photovoltaic module into a first row of battery strings, a middle row of battery strings, and a last row of battery strings, wherein a layout of the middle row of battery strings is performed on the tray transfer unit, a layout of the first row of battery strings is performed on the module input unit or the tray transfer unit, a layout of the last row of battery strings is performed on the tray transfer unit or the module output unit, and the layout of the first row of battery strings and the layout of the last row of battery strings are performed on different units;
in a process of layout the first row of battery strings or the last row of battery strings, making the tray transfer unit move from below the module output unit to below the module input unit; and
in a process in which the photovoltaic module on the module input unit is lifted by the tray transfer unit until the layout of the last row of battery strings on the photovoltaic module is finished, completing, operations of input a next photovoltaic module in place and position correction of the next photovoltaic module on the module input unit.
