Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating technology, specifically to a positioning component, a coating device, and a coating system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of solar cell technology, solar cells are being used more and more widely in photovoltaic modules. To improve the stability and durability of the cells, edge wrapping is usually required. The edge wrapping process involves applying adhesive to the edges of the cell to protect them from the influence of the external environment.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that in existing production processes, the thickness of the solar cell is much smaller than the height of the edge-sealing groove. Because the gap between the edge-sealing groove and the solar cell is extremely small, it is difficult to accurately determine with the naked eye whether the solar cell is positioned precisely in the center of the groove. Therefore, operators need to manually place the solar cell into the groove and adjust its position by repeatedly measuring the width of the edge-sealing adhesive on both sides of the cell to ensure it is centered. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning component, a coating device, and a system that can easily and accurately place the battery cells into positions corresponding to the adhesive outlet holes, thereby reducing labor costs, time costs, and errors.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] In related technologies, operators need to manually place the battery cells into the edge-sealing wheel grooves and adjust the position of the battery cells by repeatedly measuring the width of the edge-sealing adhesive on both sides of the battery cell to center them. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors.

[0025] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a positioning component 100, a coating device 10, and a coating system, which can easily and accurately place the battery cells at positions corresponding to the adhesive outlet 311, thereby reducing labor costs, time costs, and errors.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0032] The following describes in detail the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the positioning component 100, the coating device 10, and the coating system provided by this utility model through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Figure 1 For a structural schematic diagram of the positioning component 100 provided in this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 This application provides a positioning assembly 100, which includes a positioning member 110 and a clamping member 130. The positioning member 110 is used to connect with a rubber-coated wheel 300. The clamping member 130 is slidably connected to the positioning member 110 along the axial direction of the rubber-coated wheel 300. Furthermore, the clamping member 130 is used to position the battery cell so that the battery cell corresponds to the glue outlet hole 311 of the rubber-coated wheel 300.

[0034] Based on the sliding connection between the clamping member 130 and the positioning member 110, the manual adjustment of the battery cells by the staff can be reduced, making the positioning operation of the battery cells simpler, so as to achieve the beneficial effects of saving time, reducing the labor intensity of the operators, and reducing errors.

[0035] In some embodiments, the positioning member 110 also has a positioning hole 1111, and the positioning assembly 100 further includes a positioning screw 150. The positioning screw 150 engages with the positioning hole 1111 to securely connect the positioning member 110 to the adhesive-coated wheel 300. This ensures that the battery cell does not shift during the adhesive application process.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 To facilitate operators in quickly locating the optimal position of the battery cell, the positioning member 110 has a scale 1131 arranged along the axial direction of the rubber-coated wheel 300 on at least one side of the clamping member 130. It is easy to understand that the operator can precisely adjust the position of the battery cell using the scale 1131 on this side to ensure that it is aligned with the glue outlet 311 of the rubber-coated wheel 300.

[0037] Furthermore, the scale 1131 gradually increases along the direction closer to the glue dispensing hole 311. That is, the scale 1131 starts from the end furthest from the glue dispensing hole 311 (which can be set to an initial value of 0) and gradually increases towards the glue dispensing hole 311. It should be noted that the above setting conforms to people's natural reading habits, allowing operators to read the scale 1131 more intuitively and reducing the possibility of misreading.

[0038] For example, if the scale 1131 is selected as the preset scale value, and the end of the clamping member 130 away from the battery cell is aligned with the scale 1131, it is confirmed that the battery cell is in the position corresponding to the dispensing hole 311. To further facilitate the operator in reading the values, the positioning component 100 also includes a pointer, which is connected to the clamping member 130 and reciprocates together with the clamping member 130.

[0039] Alternatively, in other embodiments, a limiting member may be provided on the positioning member 110. When the clamping member 130 slides to collide with the limiting member, it is confirmed that the battery cell corresponds to the glue outlet 311 of the rubber-coated wheel 300.

[0040] Based on the above, the positioning component 110 includes a first connecting portion 111 and a scale portion 113 that are interconnected. The first connecting portion 111 is connected to the rubber-coated wheel 300 to ensure the stability of the entire positioning component 110; the scale portion 113 is provided with a scale 1131 and is slidably connected to the clamping component 130 to provide a precise position adjustment function.

[0041] Furthermore, the positioning member 110 also includes a second connecting portion 115. In addition, the first connecting portion 111, the scale portion 113 and the second connecting portion 115 are connected at an included angle in sequence, and together form a U-shaped structure for engaging with the rubber-coated wheel 300.

[0042] It is readily understood that the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 115 extend radially along the rubber-coated wheel 300; the scale portion 113 extends axially along the rubber-coated wheel 300. The first connecting portion 111, the second connecting portion 115, and the scale portion 113 contact and are fixed to the rubber-coated wheel 300 from different angular positions, ensuring the stability of the positioning member 110 in different directions. Optionally, both the first connecting portion 111 and the second connecting portion 115 are fan-shaped.

[0043] Similarly, the clamping member 130 can also be functionally separated. That is, the clamping member 130 includes a sliding part 131 and a clamping part 133 connected in an L-shape. The sliding part 131 is slidably connected to the rubber-coated wheel 300 and focuses on sliding axially to adjust the position; the clamping part 133 is used to position the battery cell and focuses on fixing and aligning the battery cell with the glue outlet 311 of the rubber-coated wheel 300.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 The present invention also includes a coating device 10, which includes the positioning component 100 in the aforementioned embodiments. Therefore, it can also achieve the beneficial effects of saving time, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and reducing errors, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] In addition, the coating device 10 also includes a coating wheel 300, and a positioning member 110 is connected to the outer wall of the coating wheel 300. The outer wall of the coating wheel 300 has an annular groove 310 along its circumference, and the bottom wall of the annular groove 310 has a glue outlet 311. It is easy to understand that the annular groove 310 provides a stable glue application path, reducing quality problems caused by uneven glue application or positional misalignment. Furthermore, the operator can quickly confirm the alignment of the glue outlet 311 with the battery cell by observing the position of the annular groove 310.

[0046] Considering the presence of the annular groove 310, in embodiments where the positioning member 110 has a U-shaped structure, the radius of the first connecting part 111 can be the same as the radius of the rubber-coated wheel 300, and the second connecting part 115 can extend radially along the rubber-coated wheel 300 to abut against the bottom wall of the annular groove 310 to further ensure fixation.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are two positioning components 100 arranged opposite each other. Based on this, when positioning the battery cell, at least one of the two clamping members 130 slides along the axial direction of the rubber-coated wheel 300 to clamp the battery cell together with the other clamping member 130.

[0048] In practical applications, with the glue outlet 311 located at the axial center of the rubber-coating wheel 300, the clamping member 130 of the upper clamping member 130 assembly moves downward along the axial direction of the rubber-coating wheel 300, measures the groove height, and then resets. Subsequently, the clamping member 130 of the upper clamping member 130 assembly moves upward along the axial direction of the rubber-coating wheel 300, measures the groove height, and then resets. The two measurements are compared to confirm whether the groove heights are consistent.

[0049] If they are inconsistent, it indicates that the positioning component 100 is improperly installed and needs to be reinstalled; if they are consistent, it allows the upper and lower clamping parts 130 to move relative to each other, each moving to half the groove depth and then turning back slightly, leaving space between them to place the battery cells. Furthermore, it should be noted that the structures of the two opposing positioning components 100 can be different, depending on the requirements.

[0050] In addition, this utility model also includes a coating system, which includes the coating device 10 in the aforementioned embodiments. Therefore, it can also achieve the beneficial effects of saving time, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and reducing errors, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] Furthermore, the coating system also includes a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is connected to the coating device 10 to drive the coating device 10 to rotate. It is easy to understand that under the action of the drive mechanism, the glue can be thrown out from the glue outlet 311 under the action of centrifugal force and wrapped around the edge of the solar cell, thereby achieving the coating of the solar cell.

[0052] In summary, this utility model provides a positioning component 100, a coating device 10, and a coating system. The positioning component 100 includes a positioning member 110 and a clamping member 130. The positioning member 110 is used to connect with the coating wheel 300. The clamping member 130 is slidably connected to the positioning member 110 along the axial direction of the coating wheel 300. Furthermore, the clamping member 130 is used to position the battery cell so that the battery cell corresponds to the glue outlet 311 of the coating wheel 300. Based on the sliding connection between the clamping member 130 and the positioning member 110, manual adjustment of the battery cell by operators can be reduced, making the positioning operation of the battery cell simpler, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of saving time, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and reducing errors.

[0053] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
