[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell manufacturing, and in particular to a liquid-carrying roller for wet etching and a wet etching method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the production technology of solar cells has been continuously improved, the production cost has been continuously reduced, and the efficiency of cells has been continuously improved, making the application of photovoltaic power generation increasingly popular and developing rapidly, and gradually becoming an important source of electricity supply. Etching is an important process in the preparation of silicon solar cells. Its purpose is to remove the PN junction and the phosphorus silicon glass on the front of the cell. The quality of etching directly affects the conversion efficiency of the cell. The current etching methods of silicon wafers mainly include dry etching and wet etching. The production process of wet etching is: the silicon solar cell after diffusion is corroded by the HNO3 and HF mixed acid solution in the etching tank to achieve edge insulation.

[0003] The existing wet etching process is usually connected by a series of tank modules, which are etching tank → water washing tank 1 → alkali tank → water washing tank 2 → acid tank → water washing tank 3 → drying. Most wet etching equipment suitable for wet etching process currently adopts roller transmission. On wet etching equipment, the shafts at both ends of the liquid roller are usually directly inserted into the bracket hole to realize the rotation of the roller, thereby realizing the transfer of silicon wafers from loading to unloading; after long-term use, the diameter of the roller will become smaller due to wear, resulting in the inability to move horizontally during the transportation process of the running silicon wafer, affecting the etching quality of the solar cell, and at the same time, the water film covering the upper surface will also slide into the chemical solution due to the unevenness of the roller, resulting in abnormal concentration and affecting the etching effect; the machining accuracy of the etching tank bracket and the machining accuracy deviation of the roller will cause abnormal levels of individual rollers, affecting the overall etching effect.

[0014] Further, the third wedge member can move in a radial direction of the third brake, and the fourth wedge member can move in a radial direction of the fourth brake.

[0015] Further, the first wedge and the second wedge define a first outer surface forming a first end shaft;

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, it can be a mechanical connection, it can be an electrical connection, it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] The terms "top", "bottom", "above", "lower", and "on" used throughout the description are relative to the relative positions of components of a device, such as the relative positions of the top and bottom substrates within a device. It is understood that devices are multifunctional regardless of their orientation in space.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] A specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, a liquid-carrying roller for wet etching is disclosed, including a first end shaft 110, a second end shaft 120 and a liquid-carrying shaft 130, the first end shaft 110 and the second end shaft 120 are respectively located at two ends of the liquid-carrying shaft 130, the first end shaft 110, the second end shaft 120 are concentrically arranged with the liquid-carrying shaft 130, and the diameters of the first end shaft 110 and the second end shaft 120 are both adjustable.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, when the roller with liquid used for wet etching provided in this embodiment is abnormally level due to wear at both ends or etching groove processing accuracy, the diameters of both ends of the individual roller with liquid can be adjusted in real time to ensure that the roller with liquid is placed horizontally on the bracket, thereby greatly reducing the operating cost of the wet etching equipment while ensuring the quality of the solar cell etching process.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first end shaft 110 and the second end shaft 120 are collectively referred to as end shafts, the first brake 113, the second brake 114, the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are collectively referred to as brakes, and the first wedge 111, the second wedge 112, the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 are collectively referred to as wedges.

[0052] The first end shaft 110 includes a plurality of first wedges 111, a plurality of second wedges 112, a first brake 113, a second brake 114 and a first center shaft 115. The first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are both sleeved on the first center shaft 115. The first brake 113 is connected to the first wedge 111, the second brake 114 is connected to the second wedge 112, the first center shaft 115 is connected to the center hole of the liquid-carrying shaft 130, and a first limit block is provided at one end of the first center shaft 115. The first limit block is a regular hexahedron structure and is provided in the center hole of the liquid-carrying shaft 130 to limit the relative rotation of the first end shaft 110 and the liquid-carrying shaft 130.

[0053] The first wedge 111 is composed of a first arc surface, a second arc surface, two non-parallel side surfaces and two parallel end surfaces, and the second wedge 112 is composed of a third arc surface, a fourth arc surface, two non-parallel side surfaces and two parallel end surfaces. The first arc surface of the first wedge 111 and the third arc surface of the second wedge 112 form the outer circumference of the first end shaft 110, and the side surfaces of adjacent first wedge 111 and second wedge 112 are tightly attached together.

[0054] It is worth noting that the first arc surface and the second arc surface are concentric, and the third arc surface and the fourth arc surface are concentric, so that the outer circumferential surface formed by the first end shaft 110 is a cylindrical surface, avoiding the formation of line contact between the first end shaft 110 and the mounting hole 220 of the bracket 200 of the wet etching groove after assembly.

[0055] In order to achieve the adjustable diameter of the first end shaft 110 , the first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are both slidably connected to the first central shaft 115 .

[0056] Specifically, the first brake 113 includes a first telescopic rod and a first connecting seat. The first connecting seat is cylindrical and is sleeved on the outside of the first center axis 115. The inner hole diameter of the first connecting seat is equal to the diameter of the first center axis 115, so that the first connecting seat can move on the first center axis 115 under the action of external force.

[0057] In this embodiment, the external force that enables the first brake 113 to move relative to the first central axis 115 is the operator manually moving the first brake 113 so that the first brake 113 can stop at a desired position and the first end shaft 110 can obtain the diameter required for adjusting the level.

[0058] The first telescopic rods are evenly distributed on the periphery of the first connecting seat, one end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the first connecting seat, and the other end is a free end, which can be telescoped relative to the fixed end. Specifically, the second arc surface of the first wedge-shaped piece 111 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the first mounting hole is provided at the large end close to the first wedge-shaped piece 111, and the free end of the first telescopic rod is installed in the first mounting hole.

[0059] Specifically, the first telescopic rod includes a first telescopic spring, a first inner telescopic rod and a first connecting rod. A hole is opened at one end of the first connecting rod and a cavity is formed inside the first connecting rod. The first telescopic spring is arranged in the cavity. The other end of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat. One end of the first inner telescopic rod enters the cavity through the hole on the first connecting rod and presses against the first telescopic spring. The other end of the first inner telescopic rod is connected to the first wedge-shaped member 111.

[0060] It is worth noting that the extension line of the fixed end of the first telescopic rod passes through the axis of the first connecting seat, that is, the first telescopic rod is vertically arranged along the radial direction of the first connecting seat.

[0061] The second brake 114 includes a second telescopic rod and a second connecting seat. The second connecting seat is cylindrical and is sleeved on the outside of the first central axis 115. The inner hole diameter of the second connecting seat is equal to the diameter of the first central axis 115, so that the second connecting seat can move on the first central axis 115 under the action of external force.

[0062] In this embodiment, the external force that enables the second brake 114 to move relative to the first central axis 115 is the operator manually moving the second brake 114 so that the second brake 114 can stop at the desired position and the first end shaft 110 can obtain the diameter required for adjusting the level.

[0063] The second telescopic rods are evenly distributed on the periphery of the second connecting seat, one end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the second connecting seat, and the other end is a free end, which can be telescoped relative to the fixed end. Specifically, the fourth arc surface of the second wedge-shaped piece 112 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the second mounting hole is provided at the large end close to the second wedge-shaped piece 112, and the free end of the second telescopic rod is installed in the second mounting hole.

[0064] Specifically, the second telescopic rod includes a second telescopic spring, a second inner telescopic rod and a second connecting rod. One end of the second connecting rod is opened and a cavity is formed inside the second connecting rod. The second telescopic spring is arranged in the cavity. The other end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the second connecting seat. One end of the second inner telescopic rod enters the cavity through the hole on the second connecting rod and presses against the second telescopic spring. The other end of the second inner telescopic rod is connected to the second wedge-shaped member 112.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first telescopic rod automatically retracts and retracts as the first brake 113 moves, and the second telescopic rod automatically retracts and retracts as the second brake 114 moves. Since the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 are in contact with each other on the sides, the telescopic amount of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod can be limited under the action of the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112, that is, when the positions of the first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are fixed, the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod can maintain a specific length under the action of the lateral squeezing force of the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112.

[0066] It is worth noting that the second telescopic rod passes through the diameter direction of the second connecting seat.

[0067] It should be noted that the external force that causes the first brake 113 and the second brake 114 to move relative to the first central axis 115 is not limited to manual operation, and any driving method that can cause the first brake 113 and the second brake 114 to move relative to the first central axis 115 is acceptable.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first brake 113 controls the movement of the first wedge 111, and the second brake 114 controls the movement of the second wedge 112. When the first end shaft 110 is worn and the diameter is reduced, under the action of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod, the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 move radially outward along the first end shaft 110. The first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are manually moved to make the first brake 113 and the second brake 114 move relative to each other along the first center axis 115. The side surface of the first wedge 111 is pressed against the side surface of the second wedge 112, and the first arc surface of the first wedge 111 and the third arc surface of the second wedge 112 form the outer circle of the first end shaft 110 with a new diameter.

[0069] The second end shaft 120 includes multiple third wedge pieces 121, multiple fourth wedge pieces 122, a third brake 123, a fourth brake 124 and a second center shaft 125. The third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are both mounted on the second center shaft 125. The third brake 123 is connected to the third wedge piece 121, the fourth brake 124 is connected to the fourth wedge piece 122, the second center shaft 125 is connected to the center hole of the liquid-carrying shaft 130, and a second limit block is provided at one end of the second center shaft 125. The second limit block is a regular hexahedron structure and is disposed in the center hole of the liquid-carrying shaft 130 to limit the relative rotation of the second end shaft 120 and the liquid-carrying shaft 130.

[0070] The third wedge 121 is composed of a fifth arc surface, a sixth arc surface, two non-parallel side surfaces and two parallel end surfaces, and the fourth wedge 122 is composed of a seventh arc surface, an eighth arc surface, two non-parallel side surfaces and two parallel end surfaces. The fifth arc surface of the third wedge 121 and the seventh arc surface of the fourth wedge 122 form the outer circumference of the second end shaft 120, and the side surfaces of adjacent third wedge components 121 and the side surfaces of the fourth wedge components 122 are tightly attached together.

[0071] It is worth noting that the fifth arc surface is concentric with the sixth arc surface, and the seventh arc surface is concentric with the eighth arc surface, so that the outer circumferential surface formed by the second end shaft 120 is a cylindrical surface, avoiding the formation of line contact between the second end shaft 120 and the mounting hole 220 of the bracket 200 of the wet etching groove after assembly.

[0072] In order to achieve the adjustable diameter of the second end shaft 120 , the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 can be slidably connected to the second central shaft 125 .

[0073] Specifically, the third brake 123 includes a third telescopic rod and a third connecting seat. The third connecting seat is cylindrical and is sleeved on the outside of the second center axis 125. The inner hole diameter of the third connecting seat is equal to the diameter of the second center axis 125, so that the third connecting seat can move on the second center axis 125 under the action of external force.

[0074] In this embodiment, the external force that enables the third brake 123 to move relative to the second center axis 125 is the operator manually moving the third brake 123 so that the third brake 123 can stop at the desired position and the second end shaft 120 can obtain the diameter required for adjusting the level.

[0075] The third telescopic rods are evenly distributed on the periphery of the third connecting seat, one end of the third telescopic rod is connected to the third connecting seat, and the other end is a free end, which can be telescoped relative to the fixed end. Specifically, the sixth arc surface of the third wedge-shaped piece 121 is provided with a third mounting hole, and the third mounting hole is provided near the big head end of the third wedge-shaped piece 121, and the free end of the third telescopic rod is installed in the third mounting hole.

[0076] Specifically, the third telescopic rod includes a third telescopic spring, a third inner telescopic rod and a third connecting rod. One end of the third connecting rod is opened and a cavity is formed in the third connecting rod. The third telescopic spring is arranged in the cavity. The other end of the third connecting rod is fixedly connected to the third connecting seat. One end of the third inner telescopic rod enters the cavity through the hole on the third connecting rod and presses against the third telescopic spring. The other end of the third inner telescopic rod is connected to the third wedge-shaped member 121.

[0077] It is worth noting that the third telescopic rod passes through the diameter direction of the third connecting seat.

[0078] Similarly, the fourth brake 124 includes a fourth telescopic rod and a fourth connecting seat. The fourth connecting seat is cylindrical and is sleeved on the outside of the second center axis 125. The inner hole diameter of the fourth connecting seat is equal to the diameter of the second center axis 125, so that the fourth connecting seat can move on the second center axis 125 under the action of external force.

[0079] In this embodiment, the external force that enables the fourth brake 124 to move relative to the second center axis 125 is the operator manually moving the fourth brake 124 so that the fourth brake 124 can stop at the desired position and the second end shaft 120 can obtain the diameter required for adjusting the level.

[0080] The fourth telescopic rod is evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the fourth connecting seat, one end of the fourth telescopic rod is connected to the fourth connecting seat, and the other end is a free end, which can be telescoped relative to the fixed end. Specifically, the eighth arc surface of the fourth wedge-shaped piece 122 is provided with a fourth mounting hole, and the fourth mounting hole is provided near the big head end of the fourth wedge-shaped piece 122, and the free end of the fourth telescopic rod is installed in the fourth mounting hole.

[0081] Specifically, the fourth telescopic rod includes a fourth telescopic spring, a fourth inner telescopic rod and a fourth connecting rod. One end of the fourth connecting rod is opened and a cavity is formed in the fourth connecting rod. The fourth telescopic spring is arranged in the cavity. The other end of the fourth connecting rod is fixedly connected to the fourth connecting seat. One end of the fourth inner telescopic rod enters the cavity through the hole on the fourth connecting rod and presses against the fourth telescopic spring. The other end of the fourth inner telescopic rod is connected to the fourth wedge-shaped member 122.

[0082] In this embodiment, the third telescopic rod automatically retracts and retracts as the third brake 123 moves, and the fourth telescopic rod automatically retracts and retracts as the fourth brake 124 moves. Since the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 fit sideways, the telescopic amounts of the third telescopic rod and the fourth telescopic rod can be limited under the action of the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122, that is, when the positions of the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are fixed, the third telescopic rod and the fourth telescopic rod can maintain a specific length under the action of the lateral squeezing pressure of the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122.

[0083] It is worth noting that the fourth telescopic rod passes through the diameter direction of the fourth connecting seat.

[0084] It should be noted that the external force that causes the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 to move relative to the second central axis 125 is not limited to manual operation, and any driving method that can cause the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 to move relative to the second central axis 125 is acceptable.

[0085] In this embodiment, the third brake 123 controls the movement of the third wedge 121, and the fourth brake 124 controls the movement of the fourth wedge 122. When the second end shaft 120 is worn and the diameter is reduced, under the action of the third telescopic rod and the fourth telescopic rod, the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 move radially outward along the second end shaft 120. The third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are manually moved to make the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 move relative to each other along the second center axis 125. The side surface of the third wedge 121 is pressed against the side surface of the fourth wedge 122. The fifth arc surface of the third wedge 121 and the seventh arc surface of the fourth wedge 122 form the outer circle of the second end shaft 120 with a new diameter, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 (a) is a schematic diagram showing the change in the diameter of the second end shaft 120 from the initial position. Figure 5 (b) is a schematic diagram showing the diameter of the second end shaft 120 in an initial state, Figure 5 (c) is a schematic diagram showing the change in diameter of the second end shaft 120.

[0086] It should be noted that, in order to reduce processing costs, the first end shaft 110 and the second end shaft 120 have the same size and structure.

[0087] It is worth noting that the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 define a first outer surface of the first end shaft 110 (formed by the first arc surface of the first wedge 111 and the third arc surface of the second wedge), and the first outer surface has a first effective diameter, and the first effective diameter increases or decreases according to the axial movement between the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 (that is, the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 move toward each other along the first central axis 115, and the first effective diameter increases, and the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 move in the opposite direction along the first central axis 115, and the first effective diameter decreases). ); the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 define a second outer surface of the second end shaft 120 (formed by the fifth arc surface of the third wedge 121 and the seventh arc surface of the fourth wedge 122), and the second outer surface has a second effective diameter, and the second effective diameter increases or decreases according to the axial movement between the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 (i.e., the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 move toward each other along the second center axis 125, and the second effective diameter increases, and the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 move in opposite directions along the second center axis 125, and the second effective diameter decreases).

[0088] Since the roller material must be acid-resistant and alkali-resistant, the first end shaft 110 , the second end shaft 120 and the fluid-carrying shaft 130 are all made of PVDF (Poly vinylidene fluoride) or PTFE (Poly tetrafluoroethylene).

[0089] The liquid-carrying roller 100 in this embodiment is applied to a wet etching groove, and the etching groove 500 includes a bracket 200 and a liquid-carrying roller 100. An etching liquid 600 is provided in the etching groove 500, and a solar chip 300 is provided on the liquid-carrying roller 100. A water film 400 is provided on the upper surface of the solar chip 300. The liquid-carrying roller 100 is connected to the bracket 200. Specifically, the bracket 200 includes a bracket body 210, and mounting holes 220 are evenly opened on the bracket body 210. The first end shaft 110 and the second end shaft 120 of the liquid-carrying roller 100 are respectively placed in the mounting holes 220 of the bracket body 210 on both sides of the bracket 200.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the fluid-carrying roller 100 and the bracket 200 are worn due to friction, there is no need to replace the entire fluid-carrying roller 100. Only the end shaft diameter needs to be adjusted, thereby reducing the operating cost of the etching groove 500. In addition, the horizontality of the fluid-carrying roller 100 can be independently adjusted.

[0091] Example 2

[0092] Another specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a wet etching method, using the liquid-carrying roller for wet etching of embodiment 1, the steps comprising:

[0093] Step 1: Adjust the shaft end of the liquid-carrying roller 100 to ensure that the solar wafer 300 is placed on the liquid-carrying roller 100 in a horizontal state.

[0094] It should be noted that a plurality of liquid-carrying rollers 100 are installed on the etching tank 500 , and all the liquid-carrying rollers 100 need to be adjusted so that the solar wafer 300 is in a horizontal position.

[0095] The first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are moved toward each other, so that the first wedge 111 and the second wedge 112 are moved toward the center of the first end shaft 110, and the diameter of the first end shaft 110 is increased; the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are moved toward each other, so that the third wedge 121 and the fourth wedge 122 are moved toward the center of the second end shaft 120, and the diameter of the second end shaft 120 is increased;

[0096] The first brake 113 and the second brake 114 are moved in the opposite direction to the center of the first end shaft 110, and the diameter of the first end shaft 110 is reduced; the third brake 123 and the fourth brake 124 are moved in the opposite direction to the center of the second end shaft 120, and the diameter of the second end shaft 120 is reduced.

[0097] Step 2: Place the solar wafer 300 on the liquid roller 100. The liquid roller 100 rotates under the action of an external force (such as a motor), driving the solar wafer 300 to move forward while brushing the etching liquid 600 onto the back of the solar wafer 300 for wet etching.

[0098] It should be noted that, since the water film 400 is provided on the front side of the solar wafer 300 , damage to the front side of the solar wafer 300 by the etching liquid 600 is avoided.

[0099] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
