DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] It should be noted that the serial terms such as [first], [second], [third], [fourth], etc. mentioned in this application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different parts. The directional terms such as [upper], [lower], [left], [right], etc. mentioned in this application are only for reference to the directions of the attached drawings. Therefore, the serial terms, directional terms and positional relationship terms used are used to illustrate and understand this application, rather than to limit this application. In the drawings, units with similar structures are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0043] With the widespread application of solar cells, recycling new energy materials and green reuse have become urgent problems to be solved. In the prior art, after removing the frame and photovoltaic glass, the photovoltaic module includes a cell layer 2 and a back sheet 3 wrapped with EVA glue. During the pyrolysis process of the existing pyrolysis method, the temperature will exceed 600 degrees, and the fluorine-containing back sheet will release a large amount of harmful gases, which not only puts huge pressure on the environment, but also greatly reduces the economic benefits due to the pyrolysis loss of the fluorine-containing back sheet. Therefore, how to efficiently and greenly separate the cell layer 2 and the complete back sheet 3 is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0044] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a photovoltaic module backsheet peeling device and method to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0045] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic module backplane peeling device, including a first device for scraping off the solar cell layer 2 on the surface of the backplane 3 and a second device for removing the EVA glue on the surface of the backplane.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the first device includes a fixed power wheel group 10 and an elastic pressure wheel group 9, the fixed power wheel group 10 and the elastic pressure wheel group 9 are arranged opposite to each other for pressing the photovoltaic module, the fixed power wheel group 10 includes a plurality of fixed power wheels located in the same plane, and the elastic pressure wheel group 9 includes a plurality of elastic pressure wheels; the first device also includes a first scraper module and a second scraper module for scraping off the battery layer 2, the first scraper module includes a first top pressure wheel 1 and a first scraper 7 that are relatively arranged and can be lifted, the second scraper module includes a second top pressure wheel 4 and a second scraper 8 that are relatively arranged and can be lifted, the first top pressure wheel 1 and the second top pressure wheel 4 are both arranged in the elastic pressure wheel group 9, and the first scraper 7 and the second scraper 8 are both arranged in the fixed power wheel group 10. Taking advantage of the soft and deformable characteristics of the backplane itself, when the photovoltaic module is located between the top pressure wheel and the scraper, the top pressure wheel pushes out and squeezes the backplane to cause deformation, so that the photovoltaic module fits the scraper. At this time, when the fixed power wheel group 10 pushes the photovoltaic module to move, it is beneficial to scrape off the battery layer 2 on the backplane 3 more thoroughly.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fixed power wheel group 10 includes a plurality of fixed power wheels grouped to form a first power wheel group 18, a second power wheel group 19 and a third power wheel group 20, and each power wheel group has at least two fixed power wheels. Figure 7 As shown, the first scraper 7 is arranged at the gap between the first power wheel group 18 and the second power wheel group 19, and the second scraper 8 is arranged at the gap between the second power wheel group 19 and the third power wheel group 20. Each fixed power wheel includes a power wheel bracket 25, on which a rotatable power wheel 26 is mounted, and adjacent power wheels 26 are connected by a transmission belt 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the transmission belt can drive the adjacent power wheels 26 to rotate in the same direction and speed, such as Figure 7 As shown, a power wheel 26 is provided in each power wheel group and is transmission-connected to the power wheel drive motor 24, and the first drive shaft 23 of the power wheel 26 is transmission-connected to the power output shaft of the power wheel drive motor 24;

[0048] In this embodiment, the elastic pressure wheel group 9 includes a plurality of elastic pressure wheels grouped into a first pressure wheel group, a second pressure wheel group, and a third pressure wheel group, and each pressure wheel group is not less than 2 groups of elastic pressure wheels, each elastic pressure wheel is arranged corresponding to a fixed power wheel, the first top pressure wheel 1 is arranged at the gap between the first pressure wheel group and the second pressure wheel group, and the second top pressure wheel 4 is arranged at the gap between the second pressure wheel group and the third pressure wheel group. Each elastic pressure wheel includes a base plate 27, a spring 28 is arranged on the upper side of the base plate 27, and a rotatable pressure wheel 29 is arranged on the lower side of the base plate 27, and the pressure wheel 29 is connected to the base plate 27 through a bracket, such as Figure 8 As shown, when the spring 28 of the elastic pressure wheel is in a normal non-compressed state, the gap between the pressure wheel 29 and the power wheel 26 is smaller than the thickness of the back plate 3. When the photovoltaic module is located between the pressure wheel 29 and the power wheel 26, the spring 28 is in a compressed state, which is used to apply pressure to the photovoltaic module and compact it. Adjacent pressure wheels 29 are also connected by a transmission belt, which can drive adjacent pressure wheels 29 to rotate in the same direction and speed. At the same time, the transmission belt itself is elastic and can adapt to the change in the distance between the central axes when the adjacent pressure wheels 29 are displaced, and still transmit stably. A pressure wheel 29 is provided in each pressure wheel group and is connected to the elastic pressure wheel driving motor. The second driving shaft 30 of the pressure wheel 29 is connected to the power output shaft of the elastic pressure wheel driving motor 32 through a coupling 31. Since the position of the elastic pressure wheel driving motor 32 is fixed, and the position of the pressure wheel 29 will change in the vertical direction with the movement of the photovoltaic module, the coupling 31 uses a flexible coupling such as a flexible tire coupling to adapt to the displacement between the output shaft end of the elastic pressure wheel driving motor 32 and the end of the second driving shaft 30.

[0049] In this embodiment, the power wheel drive motor 24 and the elastic pressure wheel drive motor 32 are connected to the host computer 17 via a data line. The rotation speed and rotation direction of the power wheel drive motor 24 and the elastic pressure wheel drive motor 32 are synchronously controlled by the signal sent by the host computer 17, thereby controlling the moving direction and moving speed of the photovoltaic component.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first pressing wheel 1 in the first scraper module includes a freely rotatable roller 34, and both ends of the rotating shaft of the roller 34 are respectively connected to the piston ends of the pressing cylinder 33. Fig. 9As shown, the first scraper 7 is arranged below the roller 34, the top pressure cylinder 33 can adopt a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder with a stroke greater than 5 cm, and the second scraper module has the same structure as the first scraper module, the only difference is that the blade directions of the first scraper 7 and the second scraper 8 are opposite, and it is used to scrape the battery layer 2 when the photovoltaic module moves in different directions.

[0051] In this embodiment, a first infrared sensor 5 and a second infrared sensor 6 for collecting the position information of the photovoltaic module are also included. The first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are arranged at intervals and are both located between the first scraper module and the second scraper module. The first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are both located between the first scraper module and the second scraper module, providing a hardware basis for the first device to automatically scrape the cell layer 2 on the back plate 3.

[0052] It ensures that during the working process, when the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are both blocked, when the first top pressure wheel 1 squeezes the photovoltaic component for the first partial scraping, due to the gap between the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6, when cutting occurs, part of the photovoltaic component must be in a compressed state, so that the photovoltaic component can move stably during the cutting process to complete the first partial scraping; similarly, when the photovoltaic component is sent back for the second remaining scraping, there is a gap between the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6, which can also compress the part of the photovoltaic component that has been scraped.

[0053] The first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are located between the first scraper module and the second scraper module, which ensures that when the photovoltaic component is separated from the first infrared sensor 5 and the first partial scraping is completed, the photovoltaic component has been separated from the first scraper module; or when the photovoltaic component is separated from the second infrared sensor 6 and the second remaining scraping is completed, the photovoltaic component has been separated from the second scraper module.

[0054] Furthermore, the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are both connected to the host computer 17 via a data line, and the controller of the first pressing wheel 1 and the controller of the second pressing wheel 4 are both connected to the host computer 17 via a data line. The host computer 17 is used to receive the data signal collected by the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6, and the host computer 17 can also send control signals to the controller of the first pressing wheel 1, the controller of the second pressing wheel 4, the power wheel drive motor 24, and the elastic pressing wheel drive motor 32, respectively, to control their working states.

[0055] Since the photovoltaic module may be uneven or damaged, the first device cannot completely and accurately scrape off all the battery cell layers 2. Therefore, it is necessary to process the back plate 3 after scraping off the battery cell layers 2 to remove the excess EVA glue on its surface and even the adhered battery cells. Fig.10As shown, the specific structure of the second device includes a reaction tank, which includes an outermost insulation layer 12 and an innermost protective layer 11. A heating device 13 for heating the degumming solution 14 in the protective layer 11 is arranged between the insulation layer 12 and the protective layer 11. In this embodiment, the insulation layer 12 is made of a foam material with heat resistance and heat insulation characteristics such as polyurethane, the heating device 13 is a heating device such as a heating resistor, and the protective layer 11 is made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second device also includes a feed port 15 for adding sodium bicarbonate or ethanol to the reaction tank, and also includes a detection module 16 for collecting the temperature and pH value of the degumming solution 14 in the reaction tank. The element used to collect the temperature data of the degumming solution 14 in the detection module 16 is a Pt100 thermal resistor temperature sensor, and the device used to collect the pH value data of the degumming solution 14 in the detection module 16 is a pH acidity tester. The instruments included in the detection module 16 are all connected to the host computer 17 through a data line, and are used to feed back the collected data to the host computer 17.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second device further includes a hanging basket 22, which is made of stainless steel and has hollow side walls. The hanging basket 22 is used to hold the back plate 3 after the battery sheet layer 2 is scraped off. The hanging basket 22 is connected to the lifting device, and driven by the lifting device, it can be completely immersed in the degumming solution 14, or completely removed from the degumming solution 14. The hanging basket 22 can achieve vertical oscillation driven by the lowering device, which is conducive to the removal of residual EVA glue on the back plate surface.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second device also includes an air collecting hood provided above the reaction tank and powered by a fan, the air outlet of the air collecting hood is connected to the feed port of the condenser, the discharge port of the condenser is connected to the feed port of the ethanol distiller, the discharge port of the ethanol distiller is connected to one end of the reflux pipe, and the other end of the reflux pipe is connected to the feed port of the reaction tank. Due to the continuous heating in the reaction tank, the ethanol and water in the reaction tank evaporate at a faster rate. Therefore, the negative pressure recovery of the air collecting hood is used to obtain a low-concentration ethanol solution after condensation by the condenser, and the high-concentration ethanol solution is obtained after further distillation by the ethanol distiller and flows out from the discharge port of the ethanol distiller, and is added to the degumming solution 14 through the feed port 15, which ensures the safety of the surrounding environment and reduces the consumption of ethanol.

[0059] In this embodiment, the second device also includes an ultrasonic oscillation device. When the back panel 3 after scraping off the battery cell layer 2 is immersed in the degumming solution 14, the degumming solution 14 is subjected to a 30-100 MHz oscillation treatment through the ultrasonic oscillation device, which can accelerate the infiltration speed of ethanol into the gap between the EVA glue and the back panel, and accelerate the EVA glue to detach from the back panel.

[0060] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic oscillator is connected to the host computer 17, and the host computer 17 is used to send a control signal to the ultrasonic oscillator to control the switch state of the controller.

[0061] The host computer 17 can perform data comparison, receive collected data and issue control instructions, and can adopt PLC modules, microcomputers and other devices with data processing capabilities.

[0062] This embodiment also provides a method for peeling off a photovoltaic module back sheet. Fig.11 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0063] Step 1, physically scraping off the cell layer 2 of the photovoltaic module to obtain a first module;

[0064] Step 2: placing the first component into a degumming solution 14 to remove the EVA glue remaining on the surface of the first component; the degumming solution 14 is a mixed solution of sodium bicarbonate solution and ethanol.

[0065] Step 3, cleaning the solution on the surface of the back plate 3.

[0066] In this embodiment, the specific steps of physically scraping off the cell layer 2 of the photovoltaic module in step 1 to obtain the first module are as follows:

[0067] Step S1, the cell layer 2 of the photovoltaic module is fed toward the fixed power wheel group 10 and into between the fixed power wheel group 10 and the elastic pressure wheel group 9, such as Figure 1 As shown, the photovoltaic assembly moves along a first direction between the fixed power wheel group 10 and the elastic pressure wheel group 9;

[0068] Step S2, the photovoltaic module moves along a first direction, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are blocked in sequence. When both the first infrared sensor 5 and the second infrared sensor 6 are blocked, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the first pressing wheel 1 pushes out and squeezes the photovoltaic module to bend toward the first scraper 7. As the photovoltaic module moves, the first scraper 7 scrapes off part of the cell layer 2. Figure 4 As shown;

[0069] Step S3, as the photovoltaic assembly moves along the first direction, when the first infrared sensor 5 resumes normal docking, Figure 5 As shown, the first pressing wheel 1 is retracted to the starting position, the photovoltaic assembly moves along the second direction between the fixed power wheel group 10 and the elastic pressing wheel group 9, and the second pressing wheel 4 pushes out and squeezes the photovoltaic assembly to bend toward the second scraper 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the second scraper 8 scrapes off the remaining battery sheet layer 2, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction;

[0070] Step S4, as the photovoltaic assembly moves along the second direction, the second infrared sensor 6 and the first infrared sensor 5 resume normal docking in sequence, and when the second infrared sensor 6 resumes normal docking, the second pressing wheel 4 is recovered to the starting position;

[0071] Step S5, the photovoltaic assembly completes scraping of the cell layer 2, and the obtained first assembly moves along the second direction until it is discharged.

[0072] In this embodiment, in step 2, the first component is placed in the adhesive removal solution 14 to remove the EVA adhesive remaining on the surface of the first component. The specific steps are as follows:

[0073] Step Q1, preparing a degumming solution 14; first preparing a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and then mixing the saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate with anhydrous ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:3 to 1:9 to obtain a degumming solution 14, wherein the mass ratio of the saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate to the anhydrous ethanol can be any one of 1:3, 1:4.5, 1:7.5, and 1:9;

[0074] Step Q2, pouring the degumming solution 14 prepared in step Q1 into the reaction tank and heating it;

[0075] Step Q3, immersing the first component obtained in step 1 in a degumming solution 14 for not less than 100 minutes. During the immersion process, the temperature in the degumming solution 14 is maintained at 60°C~75°C, the pH value is 8.0~8.3, and the mass ratio of the sodium bicarbonate solution to ethanol is 1:3~1:9; under the above conditions, ethanol can better play an infiltration role, helping sodium bicarbonate to infiltrate into the gap between the EVA glue and the backboard, thereby increasing the reaction speed, while sodium bicarbonate can react with the EVA glue on the surface of the backboard, causing it to denature and swell and then detach from the backboard surface.

[0076] In this embodiment, the method for maintaining the temperature in the degumming solution 14 at 60°C~75°C is as follows: the temperature parameters of the degumming solution 14 are detected in real time by a temperature sensor, and the data is sent to the host computer, the host computer compares the temperature with the set temperature range, when the detected temperature received is lower than 60°C, the host computer sends a control instruction to control the heating device 13 to turn on and heat the degumming solution 14, when the detected temperature received by the host computer is higher than 70°C, the host computer sends a control instruction to control the heating device 13 to turn off. Through the above closed-loop control, the temperature in the degumming solution 14 can be maintained between 60°C~75°C, which can accelerate the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with the EVA glue on the surface of the backplane, and avoid the rapid evaporation of water and ethanol in the degumming solution 14. If the temperature in the degumming solution 14 exceeds 75°C, the host computer sends a control instruction to control the heating device 13 to turn off, and at the same time, a low-temperature ethanol solution with a concentration of 80% is added to the degumming solution 14 through the feed port 15 until the temperature of the degumming solution 14 is lower than 75°C.

[0077] In this embodiment, the method for maintaining the pH value of the degumming solution 14 at 8.0-8.3 is as follows: since the pH value of the saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is 8.3, the pH value of the degumming solution 14 will not exceed 8.3. When preparing the degumming solution 14, an excess of sodium bicarbonate powder is added to the degumming solution 14 so that the pH value of the degumming solution 14 can be continuously maintained at 8.3 during the immersion degumming process. When the pH value of the degumming solution 14 collected by the pH tester is lower than 8, a warning is issued, and sodium bicarbonate powder with a purity greater than 99.5% is added to the degumming solution 14 through the feeding port 15 by manual or automatic adding equipment until part of the sodium bicarbonate powder in the degumming solution 14 cannot be dissolved.

[0078] In this embodiment, the method for maintaining the mass ratio of sodium bicarbonate solution to ethanol in the degumming solution 14 at 1:3 to 1:9 is as follows: the ethanol content in the degumming solution 14 is tested regularly at 30-minute intervals by an alcohol meter, a methanol-ethanol detector, a gas chromatography method, etc. When the mass ratio of sodium bicarbonate solution to ethanol is less than 1:9, a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution at 60°C is added to the degumming solution 14, or a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution at room temperature is added in small amounts and multiple times, and the temperature of the degumming solution 14 is observed to be not lower than 60°C. When the mass ratio of sodium bicarbonate solution to ethanol is greater than 1:3, anhydrous ethanol at room temperature is added in small amounts and multiple times, and the temperature of the degumming solution 14 is observed to be not lower than 60°C.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first component immersed in the degumming solution 14 is subjected to displacement oscillation during the immersion process, which can accelerate the shedding of the denatured EVA glue on the surface on the one hand, and on the other hand, can cause the degumming solution 14 to oscillate, making the solution at different positions in the water body more uniform and the temperature more similar.

[0080] In this embodiment, in order to speed up the reaction speed, during the immersion of the first component, the mixed solution is heated and ultrasonically treated at the same time, the time of ultrasonic treatment is 30~70 min, and the power of ultrasonic treatment is 30~100 MHz; the time of ultrasonic treatment is any one of 30min, 45min, 60min, 70min or a range between any two values; the power of ultrasonic treatment is any one of 30 MHz, 40 MHz, 50 MHz, 60 MHz, 70 MHz, 80 MHz, 90 MHz, 100 MHz or a range between any two values.
