Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell panel production, in particular to a silicon wafer cleaning device for solar cell wafer production. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of solar cell silicon wafers, various impurities such as particles, metal particles, silicon powder dust and organic impurities will be adsorbed. These pollutants will reduce the insulation performance of silicon wafers, affect the performance of PN junctions, and even cause the breakdown voltage of PN junctions to decrease and surface leakage, thereby reducing the conversion efficiency of the cells. At the same time, during the preparation of solar energy materials, the silicon surface is usually coated with a layer of anti-reflection film with good performance. However, harmful impurity ions entering the silicon dioxide layer will reduce its insulation performance. Therefore, the existing cleaning can remove these impurities and improve the insulation performance of silicon wafers, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of cells and improving the quality of solar cell preparation.

[0003] At present, in the production process of existing solar cells, during the cleaning process of silicon wafers, a plurality of cleaning tanks are equipped inside the cleaning chamber to ensure that the silicon wafers can be thoroughly cleaned through multiple steps. Common cleaning tanks mainly include a front cleaning tank, a main cleaning tank, a deionized water tank, etc., and through the cooperation of multiple mobile manipulators inside the cleaning chamber, the silicon wafers located at the cleaning frame are pre-treated, cleaned, rinsed and dried in the multiple cleaning tanks in sequence;

[0004] However, when cleaning the existing silicon wafers, on the one hand, multiple silicon wafers are placed in a cleaning frame, and most of the silicon wafers are close and fixed, so it takes a long time to soak and clean them in multiple cleaning tanks in turn. On the other hand, after the multiple silicon wafers are soaked and cleaned in the cleaning tank, they are transferred to the next cleaning tank by a robot for cleaning. This process will result in a lot of cleaning liquid from the previous cleaning tank remaining on the surface of the silicon wafer and the cleaning frame, thereby affecting the cleaning efficiency of the silicon wafer.

Then, due to the limiting action of the ball shape at one end of the water outlet pipe 65, the water outlet pipe 65 is connected with the connecting spring 665, the connecting sleeve 661 and the connecting rod 662, so that the water outlet pipe 65 moves along the side wall of the cleaning tank 2 through the connecting sleeve 661. As the transfer shell 54 moves upward, it slides synchronously along the water outlet pipe 65. When the transfer shell 54 moves to the point where its connecting hole contacts the water outlet pipe 65, the water outlet pipe 65 is moved along the side wall of the cleaning tank 2 due to the reverse elastic force of the connecting spring 665. , further making one end of the water outlet pipe 65 stuck in the connecting hole, then the pressure sensor 666 detects that its signal value changes, then the water pump 62 runs, so that the clean water in the water tank 61 is finally discharged from the water outlet hole position of the water outlet pipe 65 through the outlet pipe 63 and the telescopic tube 64, the water flows into the transfer shell 54, and respectively enters the first spray frame 51 and the second spray frame 52 through the through hole, and then sprays out from the multiple spray holes of the first spray frame 51 and the second spray frame 52, further realizing the function of cleaning the silicon wafer and the supporting parts outside the silicon wafer. When the cleaning is completed, the water pump 62 stops running, and with the operation of the moving telescopic mechanism 3 and the clamping and positioning mechanism 4, the silicon wafer at the cleaning pool 2 is further moved to the next cleaning pool 2 for cleaning.
