In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in description and have no special meaning.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1-4 The present embodiment provides a laser scribing device, which mainly comprises a base 100, a rotating base 200, an arc-shaped sliding rail 110, a driving device 120 and a laser light splitting module 300. The arc-shaped sliding rail 110 and the driving device 120 are arranged on the base 100. The upper end surface of the rotating base 200 is provided with the laser light splitting module 300, which comprises a plurality of laser beam outlets 4101; the lower end surface of the rotating base 200 is provided with a sliding block 210 fixedly connected thereto, the sliding block 210 is in sliding connection with the arc-shaped sliding rail 110; and the lower end surface of the rotating base 200 is in driving connection with a driving shaft 1201 of the driving device 120, so that the driving device 120 can drive the rotating base 200 to perform rotational movement along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located. That is, the rotating base 200 performs circular motion around the center of the arc-shaped sliding rail 110, but in actual operation, the rotation angle of the rotating base 200 is usually 0-90 degrees, not a complete circular motion. It should be pointed out that the X axis and the Y axis are the X axis direction and the Y axis direction referred to in the Figure 1

[0047] ​Based on the above design, the arc-shaped slide rails 110 in the embodiment are provided as at least two, the at least two arc-shaped slide rails 110 are collectively arranged to form a circular rotating area, and the driving device 120 is coaxially arranged with the circular rotating area. Exemplarily, the arc-shaped slide rails 110 in the embodiment are provided as four, and the four arc-shaped slide rails 110 all form a certain radian towards the driving device 120, so that the four arc-shaped slide rails 110 can collectively form a circular rotating area, thereby facilitating the driving device 120 to drive the rotating base 200 to rotate along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located, and the rotation angle can be set as 0 degree-90 degree. Optionally, a plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are arranged on the laser light splitting module 300, and the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are arranged in a straight line. Exemplarily, in the actual operation process, the solar cell (not shown in the figure) is transmitted along the Y axis direction in Figure 3 , so that when the rotation angle of the driving device 120 driving the rotating base 200 is 0 degree (i.e., the rotating base 200 does not rotate), the laser beams 10 emitted by the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are arranged in a straight line along the X axis direction, as shown in Figure 3 , and the line spacing of the laser beams 10 emitted by the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 is marked as A. When it is needed to change the line spacing of the laser beams 10 along the X axis direction, the driving device 120 can drive the rotating base 200 to rotate along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located, so that the straight line where the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are located is also deflected by a certain angle (i.e., the straight line where the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are located in Figure 3 is in an inclined state), thereby making the line spacing of the laser beams 10 on the solar cell smaller, as shown in Figure 3 , and the line spacing of the laser beams 10 is marked as B. When the rotation angle of the driving device 120 driving the rotating base 200 is 90 degrees, the straight line where the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are located is in the same direction as the Y axis direction, and is also in the same direction as the movement direction of the solar cell, and at this time, the laser line drawn on the solar cell is a straight line.

[0048] In addition, when the driving device 120 drives the rotating base 200 to rotate along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located, the straight line where the plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are located is also deflected by a certain angle, thereby changing the line spacing of the laser beams 10 along the X axis direction, and the laser marking path is increased to complete the marking process of the entire solar cell along the Y axis direction. Specifically, at the beginning of the laser marking, the solar cell is transmitted along the Y axis direction, Figure 3 , the leftmost laser beam 10 first marks the solar cell, and by lengthening the laser marking path, the rightmost laser beam 10 completes the marking process of the solar cell at the end of the laser marking.

[0049] Optionally, in the embodiment, the sliding block 210 is connected with the lower end surface of the rotating base 200 through a bolt, so as to facilitate the rotating base 200 to rotate along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located under the drive of the sliding block 210.

[0050] Optionally, the sliding block 210 is provided as four, and each sliding block 210 is slidably arranged on the slide rail, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the rotating base 200.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, in the embodiment, the base 100, the rotating base 200, the arc-shaped slide rail 110, the driving device 120 and the laser light splitting module 300 are arranged, so that the driving device 120 drives the rotating base 200 to rotate along the plane where the X axis and the Y axis are located, and then the line spacing of the laser beam 10 on the solar cell along the X axis direction is changed, so as to improve the flexible applicability of the laser scribing device, so that it can be applied to scribing of different laser process patterns; at the same time, the operator only needs to drive the rotating base 200 to rotate through the driving device 120, so as to realize the adjustment of the line spacing of each laser beam 10 along the X axis direction, without the operator in the traditional technology to re-draw the laser pattern and manually debug the laser parameters, the laser head and other complex and tedious steps, so as to improve the work efficiency and save the cost.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 In the embodiment, the driving device 120 further includes a driving shaft 1201, a fixed shaft 1202 and a grounding plate 1203, the fixed shaft 1202 and the driving shaft 1201 are coaxially arranged, and the driving shaft 1201 is in clearance fit with the fixed shaft 1202, so that the driving shaft 1201 can drive the rotating base 200 to rotate relative to the base 100 and the fixed shaft 1202; the fixed shaft 1202 is fixedly connected with the base 100 through the grounding plate 1203. In the embodiment, the clearance fit can be a ball fit, the driving shaft 1201 rotates relative to the fixed shaft 1202, and then drives the rotating base 200 to rotate.

[0053] Further, in the embodiment, the laser scribing device includes a fixing member 130, which is arranged between the rotating base 200 and the driving shaft 1201. Optionally, the fixing member 130 can be a bolt, a screw or the like, which realizes the connection between the driving shaft 1201 and the rotating base 200, and then improves the stability and reliability of the driving shaft 1201 driving the rotating base 200. Preferably, the height of the driving shaft 1201 is higher than that of the fixed shaft 1202, so that the end surface of the fixed shaft 1202 and the lower end surface of the rotating base 200 can maintain a certain gap, and then when the driving shaft 1201 drives the rotating base 200 to rotate, the frictional resistance between the fixed shaft 1202 and the rotating base 200 is reduced, and the reliability is improved.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive device 120 is connected to a live wire 1204, a neutral wire 1205, and a ground wire 1206. Specifically, the live wire 1204 and the neutral wire 1205 are both mounted on the fixed shaft 1202, and the ground wire 1206 is connected to the grounding plate 1203, thereby improving the safety performance of the laser marking device.

[0055] Optionally, the drive device 120 in this embodiment can be configured as a servo drive motor, or as a drive cylinder, etc. Of course, in some optional embodiments, the drive device 120 can also be configured as other components, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a first support member 140 is provided on the end face of the base 100 near the rotating platform 200, and an arc-shaped slide rail 110 is disposed on the first support member 140. Exemplarily, four first support members 140 are provided, meaning the number of arc-shaped slide rails 110, sliders 210, and first support members 140 is consistent. Along the Z-axis direction, the sum of the heights of the first support members 140, arc-shaped slide rails 110, and sliders 210 is the same as the height of the drive shaft 1201, meaning the upper surface of the slider 210 and the upper surface of the drive shaft 1201 are on the same horizontal plane. The provision of the first support member 140 facilitates raising the slider 210 and the slide rail to a certain height, thereby improving the reliability of the drive device 120 driving the rotating platform 200.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a first through hole (not shown in the figure), and the rotating platform 200 is provided with a second through hole 230. The first through hole and the second through hole 230 are coaxially arranged. After being reflected by the first reflecting component 220, the laser beam 10 can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole 230 in sequence and enter the laser beam splitting module 300 for beam splitting. A reflector is provided inside the first reflecting component 220 for reflecting the laser beam 10. The coaxial arrangement of the first through hole and the second through hole 230 improves the reliability of the laser beam 10 transmission and avoids the base 100 or the rotating platform 200 obstructing the laser beam 10, thus preventing the transmission path of the laser beam 10 from being blocked.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment, the laser beam splitting module 300 comprises a first reflection unit 310, a laser beam splitting unit 320 and a second reflection unit 330, a plurality of laser beam outlets 4101 are arranged on the second reflection unit 330; the laser beam 10 passing through the second through hole 230 is reflected by the first reflection unit 310, then passes through the laser beam splitting unit 320 and the second reflection unit 330 in turn, and the laser beam 10 is emitted by the laser beam outlet 4101. The laser beam splitting unit 320 and the second reflection unit 330 are arranged opposite to each other in the embodiment. Along the Y-axis direction, the first reflection unit 310 is located between the laser beam splitting unit 320 and the second reflection unit 330. By this layout mode, the area of the rotating base 200 is saved, the space of the laser scribing device along the Z-axis direction is saved, and the laser scribing device is compact in structure and low in cost.

[0059] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first reflection unit 310 comprises a second reflection assembly 3101, a third reflection assembly 3102, a first splitting assembly 3103, a fourth reflection assembly 3104 and a fifth reflection assembly 3105. The second reflection assembly 3101 is arranged at the second through hole 230. The second reflection assembly 3101 first reflects the laser to the third reflection assembly 3102, and the third reflection assembly 3102 reflects the laser beam 10 to the first splitting assembly 3103. The first splitting assembly 3103 is used for splitting the laser beam 10 to two fourth reflection assemblies 3104. The fourth reflection assembly 3104 can reflect the laser beam 10 to the fifth reflection assembly 3105, and then transmit the laser beam 10 to the laser beam splitting unit 320. The third reflection assembly 3102 is arranged between the second reflection assembly 3101 and the first splitting assembly 3103. Along the Z-axis direction, the height of the third reflection assembly 3102 is higher than the height of the second reflection assembly 3101.

[0060] In actual operation process, the laser beam 10 passing through the second through hole 230 is first reflected by the second reflection assembly 3101 to the third reflection assembly 3102. The laser beam 10 is lifted along the Z-axis direction by the third reflection assembly 3102, then is split by the first splitting assembly 3103, and then is transmitted to the fourth reflection assembly 3104. The fourth reflection assembly 3104 reflects the laser beam 10 to the fifth reflection assembly 3105, and then transmits the laser beam 10 to the laser beam splitting unit 320. The laser beam 10 is split again by the laser beam splitting unit 320. The split laser beam 10 can be transmitted to the second reflection unit 330. Finally, the laser beam 10 is reflected by the laser beam outlet 4101 of the second reflection unit 330, and the laser scribing process of the solar cell is realized.

[0061] In actual operation, since the second reflection assembly 3101 is located between the laser light splitting unit 320 and the second reflection unit 330, in order to avoid the problem of the second reflection assembly 3101 blocking the laser beam 10, the height of the second reflection assembly 3101 is usually low. By adding the third reflection assembly 3102, and along the Z-axis direction, the height of the third reflection assembly 3102 is higher than the height of the second reflection assembly 3101. In this way, the third reflection assembly 3102 can increase the height of the laser beam 10 in the Z-axis direction, thereby facilitating the splitting and reflection of the laser by the later light splitting assembly, forming a multi-layer laser beam. Exemplarily, the third reflection assembly 3102 includes two mirrors, and the two mirrors are arranged in a staggered manner along the Z-axis direction, that is, the two mirrors are at different heights, so that the laser beam 10 reflected by the second reflection assembly 3101 can be reflected by the two mirrors with different heights to raise the height of the laser beam 10, and then the raised laser beam 10 enters the first light splitting assembly 3103 to split into two laser beams 10, thereby facilitating the fourth reflection assembly 3104 at different heights to reflect and transmit the laser beam 10 to the fifth reflection assembly 3105, and then reflect and transmit to the laser light splitting unit 320 again.

[0062] As shown in Figure 4 In this embodiment, the laser light splitting unit 320 includes a plurality of second light splitting assemblies 3201, and the plurality of second light splitting assemblies 3201 are arranged in multiple layers, and adjacent two layers of second light splitting assemblies 3201 are arranged in a staggered manner along the Z-axis direction. The fourth reflection assembly 3104 and the fifth reflection assembly 3105 are arranged in multiple layers, and exemplarily, the fourth reflection assembly 3104 and the fifth reflection assembly 3105 are both arranged as two layers of mirrors arranged in an up-down manner, which is not limited in this embodiment.
