[0086] The present invention provides an automatic glue coating and pasting device 100 for solar cell sheets, which is used for gluing and pasting solar cell sheets.

[0087] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the automatic gluing and pasting equipment 100 for solar cells includes a protection room 10, a cell loading mechanism 20, a glass sheet loading mechanism 30, a cell unloading mechanism 40, a gluing and pasting mechanism 50 and a robot 60, wherein a working platform 11 is provided inside the protection room 10; the cell loading mechanism 20 is arranged on the working platform 11; the glass sheet loading mechanism 30 is arranged near the working platform 11; the cell unloading mechanism 40 is arranged near the working platform 11; the gluing and pasting mechanism 50 is arranged on the working platform 11; the robot 60 is arranged inside the protection room 10; the robot 60 grabs the cell and the glass sheet to the gluing and pasting mechanism 50 for gluing and pasting, and grabs the cell that has completed gluing and pasting to the cell unloading mechanism 40.

[0089] It can be understood that the protection room 10 is used to isolate each mechanism from the outside, protect the staff and improve safety. The protection room 10 includes a protection frame and a plurality of protection plates arranged on the protection frame, wherein the glue coating and pasting mechanism 50 and the robot 60 are completely placed inside the protection room 10, and the battery cell loading mechanism 20, the glass sheet loading mechanism 30 and the battery cell unloading mechanism 40 are used for loading and unloading battery cells or glass sheets. Therefore, the battery cell loading mechanism 20 is arranged on the working platform 11, and the glass sheet loading mechanism 30 and the battery cell unloading mechanism 40 are arranged near the working platform 11, and the glass sheets and battery cells are transported into the protection room 10 and the battery cells that have completed pasting are transported out of the protection room 10 under the drive of the driving mechanism.

[0090] In this embodiment, the cell loading mechanism 20 transports the cell from the outside to the inside of the protection room 10 by means of a screw slider. There are two cell loading mechanisms 20 arranged at intervals. The robot 60 is used to clamp and place glass sheets and cell.

[0091] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the glass sheet loading mechanism 30 and the battery sheet unloading mechanism 40 have the same structure, including a frame assembly, a slide module and a material dividing mechanism, wherein the frame assembly has a loading position and a discharging position; the slide module is used for placing the blister tray, and the slide module and the frame assembly slide together to be close to the loading position or the discharging position; the material dividing mechanism is used for dividing the blister tray, and the material dividing mechanism is arranged near the discharging position, and there are two material dividing mechanisms and they are arranged on opposite sides of the frame assembly, and the material dividing mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, a horizontal cylinder and a plug plate, and the lifting cylinder is arranged on the frame assembly; the horizontal cylinder is arranged on the lifting cylinder; the plug plate is arranged on the horizontal cylinder; the horizontal cylinder drives the two plug plates to move toward or away from each other, and the plug plates move toward each other to achieve the material dividing of the blister tray.

[0092] In this embodiment, taking the glass sheet loading mechanism 30 as an example, the blister tray is used to carry the glass sheets. It can be understood that the slide module and the frame assembly are slidably cooperated to realize the transportation of the blister tray carrying the glass sheets from the discharge position to the loading position, and the glass sheets are clamped by a robot. The blister tray is in an empty state, and the empty blister tray is recovered manually or by a robot, and then the slide module slides back to the discharge position relative to the frame assembly. In the present embodiment, the automatic loading and unloading and dividing equipment for blister trays further comprises a dividing mechanism, which is used to divide the stacked multiple blister trays so that the slide module only conveys one blister tray from the discharge position to the loading position at a time. Therefore, the automatic loading and unloading and dividing equipment for blister trays can place multiple blister trays on the slide module at one time, and realize the sequential conveying and discharge of the blister trays through the dividing of the dividing mechanism. Specifically, the present invention is implemented in this way: the stacked multiple blister trays are manually placed on the slide module, and the multiple blister trays are defined as the first blister tray, the second blister tray ... the Nth blister tray from bottom to top, and each blister tray carries The glass sheet and the material dividing mechanisms located on the opposite sides of the frame assembly act simultaneously, the lifting cylinder drives the insert plate to move downward until the insert plate is aligned with the gap between the first blister tray and the second blister tray, the horizontal cylinder drives the two insert plates to move toward each other so that the insert plates extend into the above gap, and then the lifting cylinder drives the insert plate to move upward, that is, the second blister tray to the Nth blister tray are supported by the insert plate. At this time, there is only the first blister tray on the slide module, and the slide module slides relative to the frame assembly to transport the blister tray from the discharge position to the loading position. After the slide module returns to the discharge position, the material dividing mechanism puts the stacked multiple blister trays back on the top of the slide module, and repeats the above actions to achieve the material dividing of the blister trays.

[0093] The technical solution of the present invention includes a protection room 10, a battery cell loading mechanism 20, a glass sheet loading mechanism 30, a battery cell unloading mechanism 40, a glue coating and patching mechanism 50 and a robot 60.

Since the robot 60 grabs the battery cells and glass sheets to the glue coating and patching mechanism 50 for gluing and patching, and grabs the battery cells that have completed gluing and patching to the battery cell unloading mechanism 40, the defects of manual gluing in the prior art, such as a large amount of glue overflow after patching and bubbles in the battery cells, and the technical problems of easy damage to the product during manual cleaning of the overflowed glue in the later stage, resulting in low productivity and low qualified rate, are effectively solved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving production efficiency and improving product qualified rate.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the glue patch mechanism 50 includes a support seat 51, an X-axis linear module 52, a fixture assembly 53, a support frame 54, a first Y-axis linear module 55, a patch assembly 56, a second Y-axis linear module 57 and a glue coating and scraping assembly 58, wherein the support seat 51 is arranged on the working platform 11; there are multiple X-axis linear modules 52 and they are arranged at intervals on the support seat 51; there are multiple fixture assemblies 53 and they are arranged one by one on the X-axis linear module 52; the support frame 54 is arranged on the working platform 11 and spans the support seat 51; the first Y-axis linear module 55 is arranged on one side of the support frame 54; the patch assembly 56 is arranged on the first Y-axis linear module 55; the first Y-axis linear module 55 is arranged on the side of the support frame 54 away from the first Y-axis linear module 55; the glue coating and scraping assembly 58 is arranged on the second Y-axis linear module 57; the fixture assembly 53 moves along the X-axis linear module 52 to approach the patch assembly 56 or the glue coating and scraping assembly 58.

[0095] It can be understood that the X-axis linear module 52 is used to transport the jig assembly 53, and the jig assembly 53 is transported to the vicinity of the patch assembly 56 to complete the absorption of the glass sheet or the patching of the glass sheet, and the jig assembly 53 is transported to the vicinity of the glue coating and scraping assembly 58 to complete the gluing and scraping of the battery cell; the jig assembly 53 is used to position the glass sheet, the battery cell and the battery cell. When the battery cell is placed on the jig assembly 53, the battery cell is adsorbed on the jig assembly 53 by vacuum adsorption to avoid the position of the battery cell being shifted when the jig assembly 53 moves along the X-axis linear module 52; the patch assembly 56 is used to absorb the glass sheet and the patching of the glass sheet, and the glue coating and scraping assembly 58 is divided into glue coating and glue scraping, glue coating is to apply glue to the battery cell, and glue scraping is to make the glue on the battery cell evenly applied.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, the X-axis linear module 52 has an X-axis sliding seat 521, and the jig assembly 53 includes a jig base 531 and a jig 532, wherein the jig base 531 is arranged on the X-axis sliding seat 521, and the jig base 531 is provided with a first air hole connected to the vacuum generator; the jig 532 is arranged on the jig base 531, and the jig 532 is provided with a plurality of first adsorption holes, and the first adsorption holes are connected to the first air holes.

[0098] In the present invention, the jig assembly 53 is used to position the battery cell and the glass sheet, and the jig base 531 is provided with a first air hole connected to the vacuum generator, and the first adsorption hole on the jig 532 is connected to the first air hole. Therefore, when the battery cell or the glass sheet is placed on the jig 532, the battery cell or the glass sheet can be sucked and fixed by vacuum adsorption.

[0100] In the present invention, the boss 5322 is used to place and fix the battery cell or glass sheet. When the battery cell is placed for gluing, the glue scraper assembly 58 applies glue to the battery cell and spreads it evenly. The glue scraper assembly 58 pushes the excess glue on the battery cell into the glue overflow groove 5323 to prevent the glue from overflowing and sticking to the battery cell.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first Y-axis linear module 55 has a first Y-axis sliding seat 551, and the patch assembly 56 includes a first cylinder 561, a vacuum cover 562, a second cylinder 563, a suction cup seat 564 and a suction cup 565, wherein the first cylinder 561 is arranged on the first Y-axis sliding seat 551; the vacuum cover 562 is arranged on the first cylinder 561, and the vacuum cover 562 is connected to the vacuum generator; the second cylinder 563 is arranged inside the vacuum cover 562; the suction cup seat 564 is arranged on the second cylinder 563, and the suction cup seat 564 is provided with a second air hole connected to the vacuum generator; the suction cup 565 is provided with a plurality of second adsorption holes, and the second adsorption holes are connected to the second air holes.

[0102] In the present invention, the suction cup seat 564 is provided with a second air hole connected to the vacuum generator, and the multiple second adsorption holes on the suction cup 565 are connected to the second air hole. Therefore, when the second cylinder 563 drives the suction cup seat 564 and the suction cup 565 to move downward to approach the glass sheet synchronously, the glass sheet can be adsorbed and grasped by vacuum adsorption.

[0103] In the present invention, the function of the vacuum hood 562 is to form a vacuum-sealed space between the vacuum hood 562 and the jig assembly 53. After the bubbles in the glue are extracted, the glass sheet is pasted under a high vacuum state to ensure that the product is bubble-free. In order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing groove is opened on the jig base 531, and a sealing ring is installed on the sealing groove. When the vacuum hood 562 moves toward the jig assembly 53, the bottom end face of the vacuum hood 562 fits tightly with the sealing ring to improve the sealing effect.

After the bubbles in the glue are extracted, the second driving cylinder drives the suction cup seat 564 and the suction cup 565 to move downward synchronously, and the glass sheet adsorbed on the suction cup 565 is placed on the battery sheet coated with glue. The process continues to vacuumize and the glass sheet is attached under high vacuum to ensure that the product is free of bubbles. Finally, the first cylinder 561 drives the vacuum hood 562 away from the jig assembly 53, and the battery sheet that has completed the attachment is grabbed by the robot 60 for unloading.
