The photovoltaic module backsheet cell and glass separation method of claim 1, wherein: Step 4, the method for separating the middle back plate cell piece, comprising the following steps: Step 4-1, first separation of the middle back plate cell piece: insert the small shovel blade of the small shovel into the middle cutting seam towards edge A, heat the small shovel blade to a set temperature T; then, the small shovel moves towards edge A, thereby separating the middle back plate cell piece on the left side of the H-shaped cutting seam from the glass and removing it from the top of the small shovel; wherein the set temperature T is greater than the melting temperature of the encapsulation film EVA; Step 4-2, second separation of the middle back plate cell piece: insert the small shovel blade of the small shovel into the middle cutting seam towards edge C; then, the small shovel moves towards edge C, thereby separating the middle back plate cell piece on the right side of the H-shaped cutting seam from the glass and removing it from the top of the small shovel, thereby completing the separation of the entire middle back plate cell piece from the glass and forming a transverse groove with a width of b in the middle of the back plate.
7. The photovoltaic module backsheet cell and glass separation method of claim 6, wherein: The set temperature T is 120-150°C.
8. The photovoltaic module backsheet cell and glass separation method of claim 1, wherein: Step 6, the method for removing the remaining back plate cell piece, comprising the following steps: Step 6-1, adjust the transverse position of the wide shovel: move the wide shovel from the length direction of the photovoltaic module towards the back plate until it contacts the back plate, rotate the wide shovel and adjust the transverse position of the wide shovel so that the sharp corner of the edge shovel blade of the edge shovel in the wide shovel extends into the inside of the aluminum frame and is centered; Step 6-2, determine the depth of the wide shovel: move the wide shovel into the transverse groove, and all small shovel blades and all edge shovel blades in the wide shovel are inserted into the back plate at a set depth; at this time, the bottoms of all small shovel blades and all edge shovel blades contact the surface of the glass; Step 6-3, heat the wide shovel: heat all small shovel blades and all edge shovel blades in the wide shovel to a set temperature T, so that the encapsulation film EVA between the glass and the solar cell piece melts; Step 6-4, first removal: move the wide shovel from the transverse groove to the inside of edge B, thereby separating the back plate and the solar cell piece between the transverse groove and edge B from the glass and sending them out along the inclined surface of the wide shovel body; Step 6-5, secondary scraping: the wide scraper is reversed and moved to the transverse groove; steps 6-2 to 6-3 are repeated, the wide scraper moves from the transverse groove to the edge D inside the edge D, so as to separate the backboard and the solar cell between the transverse groove and the edge D from the glass and send out along the wide scraper body bevel.
