Then the device applies a certain pressure on the outer surface of the module, and presses them tightly together under heating to achieve lamination.

[0004] Chinese patent application number CN202410255224.0, a laminating device, laminating method and laminating machine for photovoltaic modules, relates to the technical field of laminating machines, and specifically relates to a laminating device, laminating method and laminating machine for photovoltaic modules, wherein the laminating device comprises: an upper chamber, a middle chamber and a lower chamber; the upper chamber, the middle chamber and the lower chamber are all provided with vacuum pumping equipment and inflation equipment, and the middle chamber is isolated from the upper chamber and the lower chamber respectively by a silica gel plate; a heating plate is provided at the upper end of the upper vacuum chamber; a cooling plate is provided at the lower end of the lower vacuum chamber. The present application can complete the two processes of heating lamination and cooling lamination in a closed laminating device, and is in a completely vacuum compression state during the conversion process of heating lamination and cooling lamination, thereby preventing the problem of wrinkles on the surface of the film of the photovoltaic module when switching between hot and cold. The present application also has the characteristics of small footprint, energy saving, simple structure, easy maintenance and repair, and high product yield.
[0005] The following problems may occur during the use of the above solution:
[0006] 1. When laminating the battery cells, cover glass and backplane, the battery cells, cover glass and backplane cannot be limited and fixed. When melting the EVA glue, the EVA glue will produce fluidity after melting. When laminating the battery cells, cover glass and backplane, due to the fluidity of the melted EVA glue, the battery cells, cover glass and backplane will slide relative to each other during the lamination process, resulting in the battery cells, cover glass and backplane cannot be aligned, thereby affecting the production quality.
[0007] 2. When laminating the battery cells, cover glass and back panel, due to the overall force, there is gas between the battery cells, cover glass and back panel, which makes the melted EVA glue unable to adhere to each other, and then causes hollowing between the battery cells, cover glass and back panel.
[0008] 3. In order to ensure that the battery cells, cover glass and back panel are completely bonded with EVA glue, an excess of EVA glue will be placed. After the battery cells, cover glass and back panel are laminated, some EVA glue will overflow, resulting in glue strips on the edge of the photovoltaic module, which will need to be processed later, and the steps are cumbersome.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. Through the cooperation of the limit frame and the slope, the battery cell, cover glass and back plate are initially aligned when placed on the floating plate by an external device, and the inside of the sealing frame is evacuated by the vacuum device, so that the piston rod and the guide rod move toward the inside of the sealing frame, thereby driving the extrusion bar to move, so that the extrusion bar clamps and fixes the battery cell, cover glass and back plate, thereby preventing the battery cell, cover glass and back plate from relative displacement when the pressing block is laminating the battery cell, cover glass and back plate, and at the same time fixes it by the adsorption fixing component to prevent the pressing block from lifting the laminated battery cell, cover glass and back plate when it is raised.
[0024] 2. Hot water is flowed into the gap between the floating plate and the lower sealing plate through the constant temperature device, thereby heating the floating plate and the heating plate. The floating plate and the heating plate melt the EVA glue to ensure that the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate are adhered and fixed to each other, and the thickness of the lower end of the pressing block is reduced from the inside to the outside. In this way, when the pressing block contacts the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, the central part of the pressing block will first contact the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, and then the central part of the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate will be laminated. As the pressing block is pressed down, the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate will be laminated from the inside to the outside, and the air between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate will be squeezed out to ensure that the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate are completely adhered to prevent hollowing between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate.
[0025] 3. By aligning the through hole with the gap between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, when the vacuum device is used for evacuation, the gas in the gap between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate can be extracted to prevent hollowing after the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate are adhered. At the same time, the through hole absorbs the corresponding glue into the through hole, and the through hole is a truncated cone, and the side with a larger diameter of the through hole faces the steel bar, and then after the glue solidifies, it is connected to the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate only through one point, and the glue point can be separated from the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate by falling through the floating plate, so as to achieve the effect of removing excess glue. At the same time, by utilizing the negative pressure inside the sealing frame, the pressure relief valve is opened to allow external gas to quickly enter the interior of the sealing frame, and then impact the glue in the through hole, and slide out from the steel bar, and finally accumulate at the lower end of the sealing frame. When a certain amount of glue points are stored at the lower end of the sealing frame, the balance of the sealing plate is broken and rotated to discharge the glue points. After the glue points are discharged, the sealing plate is restored by the cooperation of the counterweight nut, and the sealing frame continues to be sealed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After the floating column 9 moves downward, the first spring 94 is compressed, and at the same time, the floating column 9 continues to move downward, and the top column 95 will move upward against the plug 914, thereby connecting with the air chamber 83 and the adsorption hole 911, and then the battery cell, cover glass and back plate placed on the floating column 9 are adsorbed and fixed. When the plug 914 moves upward, the second spring 913 is compressed. When the battery cell, cover glass and back plate After lamination is completed, the interior of the sealing frame 2 is depressurized, and then the air chamber 83 is depressurized through the through hole 42, the upper air pipe 121 and the lower air pipe 122. While the air chamber 83 is depressurized, the first spring 94 recovers and pushes the floating column 9 to rise, pushing the battery cells, cover glass and back plate away from the floating plate 8 to prevent the battery cells, cover glass and back plate from sticking to the floating plate 8, making it convenient to remove the laminated battery cells, cover glass and back plate. When the floating column 9 rises to a certain height, the second spring 913 pushes the plug 914 to move, and the plug 914 blocks the hole on the fixed plate 93.
[0056] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.10Considering that when the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate are laminated, due to the overall force, there is gas between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, which causes the melted EVA glue to be unable to adhere to each other completely, and then causes hollowing between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, a pressing block 34 is fixed at the lower end of the heating plate 33, and the thickness of the lower end of the pressing block 34 decreases from the inside to the outside. A pressure relief valve 21 is connected to one side of the sealing frame 2 to reduce the thickness of the lower end of the pressing block 34 from the inside to the outside. The arrangement is reduced in sequence. When the pressing block 34 contacts the battery cell, cover glass and back plate, the central part of the pressing block 34 will first contact the battery cell, cover glass and back plate, thereby laminating the central part of the battery cell, cover glass and back plate. As the pressing block 34 is pressed downward, the battery cell, cover glass and back plate will be laminated from the inside to the outside, squeezing out the air between the battery cell, cover glass and back plate to ensure that the battery cell, cover glass and back plate are completely adhered to prevent hollowing between the battery cell, cover glass and back plate.
[0057] When the present invention is used:
[0058] First, the battery cell, cover glass and back plate are placed on the floating plate 8 by an external existing conveying device. During the placement process, the battery cell, cover glass and back plate are first adjusted by the slope 71 of the limit frame 7 so that the battery cell, cover glass and back plate are aligned and fall on the floating plate 8. After completion, the hydraulic rod 11 extends to move the pressing plate 3 downward;
[0059] Then, after the pressing plate 3 moves down, the upper pressure strip 31 is inserted into the lower sealing groove 24, and the lower pressure strip 23 is inserted into the upper sealing groove 32, completing the sealing between the sealing frame 2 and the pressing plate 3. The pump in the constant temperature device 13 pumps the heat source into the gap between the floating plate 8 and the lower sealing plate 82. At the same time, the floating plate 8 will rise against the battery sheet, the cover glass and the back plate. After completion, the vacuum device 12 will work to evacuate the inside of the sealing frame 2, and the lower air pipe 122 will make the inside of the sealing frame 2 present a vacuum. Due to the negative pressure inside the sealing frame 2, the active The plug rod 51 and the guide rod 61 move toward the inner side of the sealing frame 2, thereby driving the extrusion bar 4 to move, so that the extrusion bar 4 clamps and fixes the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, and then the pressing block 34 prevents the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate from relative displacement when laminating the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate, and at the same time, the through hole 42 and the gap between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate are correspondingly vacuumed to prevent air from appearing between the battery cell, the cover glass and the back plate to affect the lamination effect;
[0060] Next, negative pressure is created in the air chamber 83 through the upper air pipe 121, so that the floating column 9 moves downward. After the floating column 9 moves downward, the first spring 94 is compressed, and at the same time, the floating column 9 continues to move downward, and the top column 95 moves upward against the plug 914, and then communicates with the air chamber 83 and the adsorption hole 911, so as to adsorb and fix the battery cell, cover glass and back plate placed on the floating column 9. After completion, the hydraulic rod 11 continues to extend to make the pressing block 34 press the battery cell, cover glass and back plate to complete the lamination;
[0061] Finally, after completion, the pressure inside the sealing frame 2 is slowly released through the pressure relief valve 21, and at the same time, the pump in the constant temperature device 13 draws the liquid in the gap between the floating plate 8 and the lower sealing plate 82 into the constant temperature device 13. At this time, the floating plate 8 drives the laminated battery cells, cover glass and back plate to move downward, so that the glue in the through hole 42 is separated from the battery cells, cover glass and back plate. At the same time, due to the external air entering the interior of the sealing frame 2, the air will impact the glue points in the through hole 42, causing the glue points to fall to the lower part of the sealing frame 2. At this time, the hydraulic rod 11 is retracted to drive the pressing plate 3 to rise, so that a gap is generated between the laminated battery cells, cover glass and back plate of the pressing block 34. At the same time, the pressing plate 3 and the upper air pipe 121 release the pressure on the air chamber 83. When the air chamber 83 is depressurized, the first spring 94 recovers and presses against the floating column 9 rises, pushing the battery cells, cover glass and back plate away from the floating plate 8 to prevent the battery cells, cover glass and back plate from adhering to the floating plate 8, so as to facilitate the removal of the laminated battery cells, cover glass and back plate. When the floating column 9 rises to a certain height, the second spring 913 moves against the plug 914, and the plug 914 blocks the hole on the fixed plate 93. After the internal and external air pressures of the sealing frame 2 are consistent, the hydraulic rod 11 drives the pressure plate 3 to rise completely to the top. When a certain amount of glue dots are stored at the lower end of the sealing frame 2, the balance of the sealing plate 25 is broken and rotated to discharge the glue dots. After the glue dots are discharged, the sealing plate 25 is restored by the cooperation of the counterweight nut 27, and the sealing frame 2 continues to be sealed. The laminated battery cells, cover glass and back plate can be removed through the existing external device.
