Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of string welding machines, and more particularly to a string welding machine for welding solar panels. Background Art

[0002] The overlapping tile technology is different from the traditional component packaging method. It refers to cutting traditional solar cells into small pieces, directly connecting two pieces of cells through conductive adhesive, stacking and pasting them together, and then connecting the cell strings. Generally, traditional components will retain a spacing of about 2-3 mm between solar cells, while the overlapping tile process realizes no spacing between solar cells by overlapping small cell pieces, improving the component packaging efficiency. More than 13% more solar cells can be placed within the same component area compared to conventional components. Therefore, overlapping tile components have advantages such as high output power, low internal loss, and small hot spot effect. The present invention aims to provide a string welding machine for realizing the stacking and pasting connection of solar cells. Summary of the Invention

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope protected by the present invention.

[0054] Embodiment 1:

[0055] See Figure 21 and Figure 23, the present invention provides a string welding machine, including a battery sheet feeding device 1, a material taking and moving mechanism 2, a dispensing moving stage 4, a jet dispensing mechanism 3, an intermediate moving mechanism 10, a welding mechanism, and a translation and flipping mechanism 9. Among them, the material taking and moving mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the battery sheet feeding device 1, and the battery sheets are placed on the battery sheet feeding device 1. See Figure 22 , which shows two battery sheet feeding devices 1. The material taking and moving mechanism 2 can place the battery sheets on the battery sheet feeding device 1 onto the dispensing moving stage 4. See Figure 21 , which shows the dispensing moving stage 4. The dispensing moving stage 4 can be a conveyor belt drive structure; the jet dispensing mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the dispensing moving stage 4, and the jet dispensing mechanism 3 can spray conductive silver paste onto the battery sheets on the dispensing moving stage 4. See Figure 21 , which shows the positional relationship between the jet dispensing mechanism 3 and the dispensing moving stage 4. The welding structure can perform welding treatment on the battery sheets that are moved from the dispensing moving stage 4 to the welding mechanism through the intermediate moving mechanism 10. The translation and flipping mechanism 9 is used to move the battery string formed on the welding mechanism onto the discharge tray. See Figure 23 , which shows the welding structure. When the battery sheet passes through the jet dispensing mechanism 3, conductive silver paste will be sprayed on the battery sheet. On the welding mechanism, two battery sheets are stacked, and the conductive silver paste is heated. Then, during the cooling process of the conductive silver paste, the two battery sheets are adhesively connected by stacking. The string welding machine also includes a bus bar pulling and cutting mechanism 8. The bus bar pulling and cutting mechanism 8 is used to place the bus bar on the welding belt structure 5 of the welding structure, stack the battery sheets in sequence, and connect the head and tail with the guide sheet to form a battery string.

[0056] Regarding the battery sheet feeding device 1, the specific structure is as follows: See Figure 1, the battery sheet feeding device 1 includes a first frame body 110, a first support structure 120, a first driving device, and a blowing device. The first driving device and the blowing device are connected to the first frame body 110. The first support structure 120 is connected to the first driving device, and the first driving device can drive the first support structure 120 to move up and down. By driving the first support structure 120 to move downward through the first driving device and blowing air to the battery sheets stacked on the first support structure 120 through the blowing device, it is used to enable the material taking and moving mechanism 2 to adsorb only the uppermost battery sheet on the battery sheet support structure. The specific working process is as follows: When the material taking and moving mechanism 2 adsorbs the uppermost battery sheet on the first support structure 120, the first driving device synchronously drives the first support structure 120 to move downward to a set position, and at the same time, the blowing device is started. The blowing device blows air to the battery sheet, which is beneficial to separating another battery sheet in contact with the uppermost battery sheet from the uppermost battery sheet, so as to enable the material taking and moving mechanism 2 to adsorb only the uppermost battery sheet on the first support structure 120 and ensure the normal operation of the string welder. When the material taking and moving mechanism 2 adsorbs a battery sheet and moves away from the first support structure 120, the blowing device stops working, and the first driving device drives the first support structure 120 to move upward. When the position detection sensor detects the battery sheet, the position detection sensor transmits a signal to the control system so that the control system controls the first driving device to stop working, so as to ensure that the battery sheet at the uppermost position on the first support structure 120 can be located at the same position each time, which is convenient for the material taking and moving mechanism 2 to adsorb the battery sheet, and is also convenient for the blowing device to always blow to the battery sheet at the uppermost position on the first support structure 120 and another battery sheet in contact with the uppermost battery sheet.

[0057] Regarding the blowing device, the blowing device includes a blowing nozzle 130. The blowing nozzle 130 is distributed with air outlet small holes, and the air outlet small holes face the first support structure 120. The diameter range of the air outlet small holes is 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, which is beneficial to the air flow ejected from the blowing nozzle 130 to be concentrated and sprayed on the battery sheet. The diameter of the air outlet small holes is preferably 0.2 mm. In addition, regarding the blowing device, it also includes structures such as an air source, an air pump, and a valve body, etc. It can be realized by using the existing technology to supply gas to the blowing nozzle 130, and no excessive limitation will be made here.

[0058] Regarding the first driving device, the first driving device includes a first driving motor 140 and a lead screw mechanism. The output shaft of the first driving motor 140 is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw mechanism. The slider of the lead screw mechanism is connected to the first support structure 120. The slider is connected to the first support structure 120 through a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft passes through the first support structure 120. The first driving motor 140 is a servo motor. When the first driving motor 140 drives the lead screw to rotate forward, the slider moves upward, so as to realize the upward movement of the first support structure 120. When the first driving motor 140 drives the lead screw to rotate reversely, the slider moves downward, so as to realize the downward movement of the first support structure 120, and the position of the first support structure 120 is adjusted.

[0059] Regarding the first support structure 120, the details are as follows: The first support structure 120 is a plate-like structure. A guide rod 150 is arranged on the first frame 110. The guide rod 150 is used to limit the stacking of battery wafers on the first support structure 120. Refer to Figure 2 , a mating notch 160 is formed on the circumferential side wall of the first support structure 120, and the guide rods 150 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mating notches 160. Refer to Figure 3 , mating notches 160 are arranged on the four side walls of the first support structure 120, and each mating notch 160 corresponds to a guide rod 150. The battery wafers stacked on the first support structure 120 are limited by six guide rods 150.

[0060] Preferably, there is a guide rod 150 whose position on the first frame 110 is adjustable. The mating notch 160 is a long slot, and the position of the guide rod 150 can be adjusted in the direction close to or away from the center of the first support structure 120 along the length direction of the mating notch 160. Refer to Figure 2 , the positions of the guide rods 150 on the left and right sides and the upper side in the figure relative to the first frame 110 are adjustable. By adjusting the positions of the guide rods 150 on the first frame 110, rectangular battery wafers of different sizes and directions can be accommodated. The guide rod 150 can be detachably connected to the first frame 110 through bolts.

[0061] Regarding the material taking and moving mechanism 2, the details are as follows: The material taking and moving mechanism 2 includes a second adsorption structure, a second moving structure 220 and a correction structure 230. The second adsorption structure includes two second adsorption manipulators 210, and both second adsorption manipulators 210 are connected to the second moving structure 220. The correction structure 230 is arranged below the second adsorption structure, and the correction structure 230 is used to adjust the position of the battery wafer placed on the correction structure 230. The second moving structure 220 can drive the second adsorption structure to move. When one second moving structure 220 moves to directly above the correction structure 230, the other second moving structure 220 is located on the dispensing moving stage 4. Refer to Figure 3, two second adsorption manipulators 210 are shown. When the two second adsorption manipulators 210 are located at the first station, one of the second adsorption manipulators 210 (referred to as the right adsorption manipulator) is located directly above the battery sheet feeding device 1 (the second adsorption manipulator 210 includes two rows of suction nozzles, and the number of battery sheet feeding devices 1 is two, and the two rows of suction nozzles of the second adsorption manipulator 210 respectively correspond to the two battery sheet feeding devices 1), and the other second adsorption manipulator 210 (referred to as the left adsorption manipulator) is located directly above the correction structure. After the two second adsorption manipulators 210 complete the material taking, the two second adsorption manipulators 210 move (horizontally) driven by the moving structure until they move to the second station. At this time, the right adsorption manipulator is located directly above the correction structure, and the left adsorption manipulator is located directly above the dispensing moving stage 4. The right adsorption manipulator places the adsorbed battery sheet 7 on the correction structure, and the left adsorption manipulator places the battery sheet on the dispensing moving stage 4. After completion, the two second adsorption manipulators 210 are reset driven by the second moving structure 220. Regarding the second moving structure 220, a driving motor and a lead screw mechanism can be used to realize the horizontal movement of the second adsorption structure.

[0062] In addition, regarding the second adsorption manipulator 210, it includes suction nozzles. The suction nozzles are connected to structures such as an air compressor and a valve body. When it is necessary for the suction nozzles to adsorb the battery string, the adsorption connection between the suction nozzles and the battery string is realized by means of vacuum pumping. By filling gas into the suction nozzles, the connection between the suction nozzles and the battery string can be released.

[0063] Regarding the correction structure 230, it is as follows: The correction structure 230 includes a correction platform 231, an X-direction positioning mechanism, and a Y-direction positioning mechanism. The X-direction positioning mechanism and the Y-direction positioning mechanism are connected to the correction platform 231. Two correction support surfaces 232 are formed on the correction platform 231 (the two rows of suction nozzles of the left adsorption manipulator respectively correspond to the two correction support surfaces 232). The X-direction positioning mechanism and the Y-direction positioning mechanism are used to adjust the position of the battery sheet on the correction platform 231.

[0064] Regarding the Y-direction positioning mechanism, the specific structure is as follows: The Y-direction positioning mechanism includes a Y-direction cylinder 233, a Y-direction positioning strip 234, and a Y-direction adjusting rod 235. The Y-direction positioning strip 234 is fixed on the correction platform 231. The Y-direction cylinder 233 is arranged below the correction platform 231 and is connected to the Y-direction adjusting rod 235 through a Y-direction connection structure. Each correction support surface 232 corresponds to a Y-direction positioning strip 234 and a Y-direction adjusting rod 235. When the Y-direction cylinder 233 acts, it can drive the Y-direction adjusting rod 235 to push the battery sheet on the correction support surface 232 towards the Y-direction positioning strip 234, so that the long sides of the battery sheet are respectively attached to the corresponding Y-direction positioning strips 234. See Figure 4, two modified support surfaces 232 are shown, each modified support surface 232 corresponding to a Y-direction positioning bar 234 respectively, and the Y-direction positioning bar 234 is fixed on the modified platform 231. Refer to Figure 5 , a Y-direction cylinder 233 is shown, and the output shaft of the Y-direction cylinder 233 is connected to the Y-direction adjusting rod 235 through a connecting structure. Refer to Figure 4 , it is shown that each modified support surface 232 corresponds to two Y-direction adjusting rods 235. The Y-direction adjusting rods 235 are inserted into the modified support surface 232 from the bottom of the modified platform 231. When the output shaft of the Y-direction cylinder 233 extends, it can drive the Y-direction adjusting rods 235 to push the solar cells on the modified support surface 232 to move towards the Y-direction positioning bar 234, so that the long sides of the two solar cells are respectively attached to the corresponding Y-direction positioning bars 234; when the output shaft of the Y-direction cylinder 233 retracts, the Y-direction adjusting rods 235 move away from the corresponding Y-direction positioning bars 234.

[0065] Regarding the X-direction positioning mechanism, the specific structure is as follows: Refer to Figure 6 , the X-direction positioning mechanism includes a gripper finger cylinder 236, an X-direction pushing plate 237 and a gripper connection structure. The two oppositely arranged X-direction pushing plates 237 are connected to the gripper finger cylinder 236 through the gripper connection structure. When the gripper finger cylinder 236 acts, it can drive the two X-direction pushing plates 237 to move towards each other, so that the two short sides of the solar cell on the modified platform 231 are clamped between the two X-direction pushing plates 237. Regarding the action conditions of the Y-direction cylinder 233 and the gripper finger cylinder 236, it includes a control system and a detection device. When the detection device of the string welding machine detects that there is a solar cell on the modified support surface 232, the control system controls the Y-direction cylinder 233 and the gripper finger cylinder 236 to act. When it is detected that the solar cell contacts the X-direction pushing plate 237 and the Y-direction positioning bar 234, the control system controls the Y-direction cylinder 233 and the gripper finger cylinder 236 to reset.

[0066] Regarding the jet dispensing mechanism 3, the specific structure is as follows: The jet dispensing mechanism 3 further includes a third support frame 310, a dispensing nozzle 320, a horizontal adjustment mechanism 330, and a vertical adjustment mechanism 340. Among them, the dispensing nozzle 320 is arranged above the dispensing moving stage 4. The horizontal adjustment mechanism 330 is connected to the dispensing nozzle 320, the horizontal adjustment mechanism 330 is connected to the vertical adjustment mechanism 340, and the vertical adjustment mechanism 340 is connected to the third support frame 310. The horizontal adjustment mechanism 330 and the vertical adjustment mechanism 340 are respectively used to adjust the position of the dispensing nozzle 320 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. Both the horizontal adjustment mechanism 330 and the vertical adjustment mechanism 340 are manual fine-tuning slides. The dispensing nozzle 320 is a piezoelectric-driven needle-jet valve. Since there is no need to adjust the position of the dispensing nozzle 320 in real time, the position adjustment of the dispensing nozzle 320 is preferably set in a manual adjustment mode. Since the positions of the dispensing nozzle 320 and the dispensing moving stage 4 affect the dispensing effect, using a manual fine-tuning slide in the prior art is not only convenient for adjustment but also can accurately adjust the position of the dispensing nozzle 320.

[0067] Regarding the position of applying glue on the battery cell, the glue on the battery cell is in a thin line shape, with a width of 1 mm to 1.2 mm, distributed along the length direction of the battery cell and close to one side of the battery cell to achieve the lamination connection of the battery cells.

[0068] The dispensing moving stage 4 is a conveyor belt structure. The dispensing nozzle 320 is located above the dispensing moving stage 4. The battery cell is driven to move by the dispensing moving stage 4. When the battery cell passes by the dispensing nozzle 320, the dispensing nozzle 320 sprays conductive silver glue onto the battery cell.

[0069] Regarding the intermediate moving mechanism 10, it includes a driving motor, a lead screw structure, and an adsorption manipulator (the adsorption manipulator includes a suction nozzle). The driving motor is connected to the adsorption manipulator through the lead screw structure. When the driving motor is started, it can drive the adsorption manipulator to move horizontally through the lead screw structure, so as to move the battery cell on the dispensing moving stage 4 to the welding belt structure 5 of the welding mechanism; the structure of the adsorption manipulator can adsorb two battery cells at the same time.

[0070] Regarding the welding mechanism, the specific structure is as follows: The welding mechanism further includes a fourth support frame, a welding belt structure 5, and a welding lamp structure 6. The welding belt structure 5 and the welding lamp structure 6 are connected to the fourth support frame; a battery cell placement area 510, a preheating area 520, a welding area 530, and a slow cooling area 540 are formed on the welding belt structure 5. The welding lamp structure 6 is arranged above the welding area. The busbar pulling and cutting mechanism 8 can move the busbar to the welding area. Since the busbars also need to be welded to the front and rear ends of the battery string, the busbar pulling and cutting mechanism 8 is added. The temperature of the battery cell placement area 510 is controlled between 50°C and 60°C, the temperature of the preheating area 520 is controlled at about 100°C, the temperature of the welding area 530 is controlled at about 150°C. The welding lamp structure 6 is arranged above the welding area 530 and the welding lamp structure 6 is used to heat the glue on the battery cells and the busbars. In the slow cooling area 540, the solid connection between the battery cells and the busbars and between two adjacent battery cells is gradually achieved. The specific process is as follows: Using the busbar pulling and cutting mechanism 8, a busbar (with glue coated on the busbar) is first placed on the placement area 510, and then the intermediate moving mechanism 10 places one of the battery cells (referred to as the first battery cell) on the placement area 510 and there is an overlapping area with the busbar. Then the welding belt structure 5 operates to make the welding belt 550 rotate a certain distance, and the adsorption manipulator of the intermediate moving mechanism 10 also moves a certain distance horizontally, so that another battery cell (referred to as the second battery cell) on the intermediate moving mechanism 10 is stacked on the first battery cell. The area where the first battery cell and the second battery cell are in contact is coated with conductive silver glue; then the intermediate moving mechanism 10 moves back to the reset direction, adsorbs two more battery cells (which can be referred to as the third battery cell and the fourth battery cell) from the dispensing moving stage 4, and places the third battery cell and the fourth battery cell in the preheating area 520 in the same way as the first battery cell and the second battery cell, so that the third battery cell is stacked on the second battery cell and the fourth battery cell is stacked on the third battery cell. According to specific actual requirements, battery cells of different lengths are manufactured. For example, when four battery cells are needed to meet the requirements of the battery string, after the intermediate moving mechanism 10 places the fourth battery cell in the preheating area 520, the busbar pulling and cutting mechanism 8 operates to place the return busbar in the preheating area 520 and stack it with the fourth battery cell. After welding by the welding lamp structure 6, a battery string is formed.

[0071] Regarding the welding belt structure 5, the welding belt structure 5 includes a welding belt 550. The material of the welding belt 550 is a Teflon high-temperature resistant material.

By controlling the temperature of the heating tubes, a battery cell placement area 510, a preheating area 520, a welding area 530, and a slow cooling area 540 are sequentially formed on the battery cell transfer surface, and the temperatures of the battery cell placement area 510, the preheating area 520, and the welding area 530 gradually increase. See Figure 8 , the welding belt 550 is sleeved on the support rollers of the welding belt structure 5. One of the support rollers is a driving roller, and the driving roller is connected to a support roller driving motor 560. In addition, in order to better achieve heat dissipation, heat dissipation holes are distributed on the welding belt 550, and the heat dissipation holes facilitate the transfer of the heat generated by the electric heating tubes to the upper part of the battery cell transfer surface.

The pressing needle structure 640 is connected to the pressing needle driving cylinder 650 and the pressing needle driving cylinder 650 can drive the pressing needle structure 640 to move up and down. When the welding belt 550 stops operating, the welding lamp structure 6 starts to operate to heat the battery cells located in the welding area 530. The specific process is as follows: The pressing needle structure 640 moves downward under the drive of the pressing needle driving cylinder 650 until it presses the battery cells. The heating lamp structure 620 also moves downward a certain distance under the drive of the welding lamp driving cylinder 630. At the same time, the heating lamp structure 620 is started to heat the battery cells and the colloid on the current collector bars. Then, the pressing needle structure 640 moves upward to the reset position under the drive of the pressing needle driving cylinder 650, and the heating lamp structure 620 moves to the reset position under the drive of the welding lamp driving cylinder 630. The battery cells move away from the welding lamp structure 6 under the drive of the welding belt 550, and the battery cells are stacked and adhered to each other and the connection between the current collector bars and the battery cells is realized during the gradual cooling of the colloid.

[0073] Regarding the connection between the pressing needle driving cylinder 650 and the pressing needle structure 640, it is specifically as follows: See Figure 10 and Figure 11, the needle pressing driving cylinder 650 is vertically arranged with its telescopic shaft facing upward. The needle pressing driving cylinder 650 is connected to the needle pressing structure 640 through a needle pressing connection structure.

The needle pressing connection structure is slidably connected to the soldering lamp support frame body 610, and the slide rails cooperate with the corresponding chutes on the needle pressing connection structure. When the telescopic shaft of the needle pressing driving cylinder 650 extends upward, the needle pressing connection structure and the needle pressing structure 640 move upward; when the telescopic shaft of the needle pressing driving cylinder 650 retracts downward, the needle pressing connection structure and the needle pressing structure 640 move downward. Regarding the needle pressing structure 640, it includes a small needle pressing support plate structure 642 and small needles 641.

The bus bar on the bus bar reel 870 can sequentially pass through the flux accommodating structure 820, the punching structure 830 and lead to the shearing structure 840. When the shearing structure 840 is in the reset state, the pulling structure 850 can hold the end of the bus bar and drive the bus bar to move away from the shearing structure 840. The shearing structure 840 is used to shear the bus bar passing through it. The bus bar moving structure 860 can move the cut bus bar towards the welding belt structure 5. Refer to Figure 12, which shows the bus bar pulling and cutting mechanism. The bus bar is wound around the bus bar coil 870, and the free end of the bus bar is led to the shearing structure 840 through the flux accommodating structure 820 and the punching structure 830. When the shearing structure 840 is in the reset state, the pulling structure 850 can hold the end of the bus bar and drive the bus bar to move away from the shearing structure 840. After moving to a set distance, the pulling structure 850 stops moving, and the shearing structure 840 operates to cut the bus bar passing through it. The pulling structure releases the clamped bus bar, moves in the reset direction, the shearing structure 840 resets, and after the pulling structure resets, it clamps the end of the bus bar. The bus bar moving structure 860 can move the cut bus bar towards the welding belt structure 5. When the bus bar passes through the flux accommodating structure 820, the flux in the flux accommodating structure 820 is coated on the passing bus bar, and the punching structure 830 is used to punch the bus bar.

The liquid injection hole 823 is connected to the flux supply device. The flux supply device provides flux liquid to the sponge member in the flux box 821 through the liquid injection hole 823. The bus bar passes through the flux box 821 through the through hole 822, and when the bus bar passes through the flux box 821, it contacts the sponge member adsorbed with liquid flux, so that the flux can be attached to the bus bar passing through the flux box 821.

The fixed template 834 is supported on the punching bracket. The fixed template 834, the second moving template 833 and the first moving template 832 are arranged in sequence along the height direction. The punching driving cylinder 831 is connected to the first moving template 832. The first moving template 832 is fixedly connected to the punching block and the punching block is inserted into the second moving template 833. Elastic components and vertical guiding columns 835 are arranged between the second moving template 833 and the fixed template 834 and between the first moving template 832 and the second moving template 833. When the punching driving cylinder 831 drives the first moving template 832 to move downward, the second moving template 833 can move downward and the punching block can punch the bus bar clamped between the fixed template 834 and the second moving template 833. See Figure 14 , the vertical guiding columns 835 are fixed on the fixed template 834. The vertical guiding columns 835 pass through the first moving template 832 and the second moving template 833, and the first moving template 832 and the second moving template 833 can move downward relative to the vertical guiding columns 835. Elastic components (springs) are sleeved on the vertical guiding columns 835. When the punching driving cylinder 831 drives the first moving template 832 to move downward, the second moving template 833 can move downward and the punching block can punch the bus bar clamped between the fixed template 834 and the second moving template 833.

When the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 853 extends outwards, it can drive the triangular plate 855 to rotate. See Figure 17 , when the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 853 extends outwards, the clamping plate 857 rotates towards the direction close to the bottom support structure 856, so that the end of the busbar 51 can be clamped between the clamping plate 857 and the bottom support structure 856. When the telescopic shaft of the clamping cylinder 853 retracts into the cylinder, the clamping plate 857 rotates away from the bottom support structure 856, and the clamping plate 857 and the bottom support structure 856 release the end of the busbar 51.

The telescopic shaft of the translation vertical cylinder 920 is connected to the translation horizontal beam 930. Translation suction nozzles 980 are arranged on the lower side of the translation horizontal beam 930. The translation suction nozzles 980 are spaced along the length direction of the translation horizontal beam 930 on the translation horizontal beam 930. When the translation driving motor 940 operates, it drives the lead screw to rotate, and then makes the slider structure move horizontally, so as to drive the translation vertical cylinder 920 and the translation horizontal beam 930 to move horizontally; the telescopic shaft of the translation vertical cylinder 920 is connected to the translation horizontal beam 930. When the translation vertical cylinder 920 operates, it can drive the translation horizontal beam 930 to move up and down. Connecting rods are arranged on the translation horizontal beam 930. The connecting rods are spaced along the length direction of the translation horizontal beam 930 on the translation horizontal beam 930, and the length extension direction of the connecting rods is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the translation horizontal beam 930.

After moving in place, the telescopic shaft of the translation vertical cylinder 920 extends, the translation horizontal beam 930 moves downward, and the translation suction nozzles 980 release the battery string, and the battery string falls on the flipping driving structure.

[0086] Regarding the flipping driving structure, it is as follows: Refer to Figure 19 - 20 , the flipping driving structure includes a flipping beam 950, a flipping driving motor 960 and a transmission mechanism. The two ends of the flipping beam 950 are respectively supported on the flipping frame of the flipping structure, and the flipping beam 950 is rotatably connected to the flipping frame.

When the flipping drive motor 960 operates, it drives one end of the flipping beam 950 to rotate through the gear transmission structure or the pulley transmission structure; see Figure 19 and Figure 20 , which is the reset state of the flipping beam 950. When it is detected that there is a battery string on the flipping suction nozzle 990, the flipping drive motor 960 starts, drives the flipping beam 950 to rotate counterclockwise, and the flipping suction nozzle 990 starts to rotate upward and then downward. When it rotates nearly 180°, the flipping drive motor 960 stops rotating, the position of the flipping beam 950 remains unchanged, and the flipping suction nozzle 990 releases the adsorption of the battery string so that the battery string falls on the discharging tray. Then the flipping drive motor 960 rotates clockwise to reset the position of the flipping suction nozzle 990.

[0087] Embodiment 2:

[0088] Different from Embodiment 1, the string welding machine does not include the busbar pulling and cutting mechanism 8. Instead, it is replaced by a busbar transferring structure 7, and the busbar transferring structure 7 is used to place the busbar on the welding belt structure 5 of the welding structure.

[0089] See Figure 25 , which shows the busbar transferring structure 7. The busbar transferring structure 7 includes a busbar support, a busbar adsorption device, a busbar driving device, and a busbar placement table. The busbar adsorption device is connected to the busbar support through the busbar driving device and the busbar driving device can drive the busbar adsorption device to move.

The suction nozzle can be driven to move up and down by the cylinder. The motor is connected to the lead screw mechanism. The lead screw of the lead screw mechanism is connected to the motor, and the slider structure of the lead screw mechanism is connected to the cylinder. The suction nozzle and the cylinder are moved horizontally through the motor and the lead screw mechanism. Through the busbar driving device, the busbar on the busbar placement table is moved to the placement area 510 on the welding belt structure 5. The specific operation is as follows: The cylinder drives the suction nozzle to move downward to adsorb the busbar on the busbar placement table. Then the cylinder drives the suction nozzle and the busbar to move upward. The cylinder is driven to move horizontally through the lead screw mechanism and the motor. When it moves to directly above the glue box of the busbar placement table, the motor stops operating. The cylinder drives the busbar to move downward so that the busbar contacts the colloid in the glue box. Then the cylinder drives the busbar to move upward. After moving in place, the lead screw mechanism and the motor drive the cylinder to move horizontally so that the busbar moves above the placement area 510 of the welding belt structure 5. Then the operation is started to drive the busbar to move downward. After moving in place, the cylinder stops operating, and the suction nozzle contacts and releases the adsorption effect on the busbar, so that the busbar falls on the placement area 510.
