[0047] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a back side cleaning device for a copper indium gallium selenide thin film solar cell, comprising:
[0048] The wiping mechanism 100 is provided with two wiping mechanisms 100, and the wiping mechanism 100 comprises a scrubbing cloth roll 3, a discharging roller 12, a retracting roller 13, a motor 1, a cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300 and a roller scrubbing assembly.

The scrubbing cloth roll 3 is located between the cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300 and the roller scrubbing assembly. A substrate 17 to be processed is also provided between the scrubbing cloth roll 3 and the cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300.

When the substrate 17 to be processed is transported to the wiping area of the scrubbing cloth roll 3 via the conveyor belt 8, the conveyor belt 8 can stop conveying, and the substrate 17 to be processed is adsorbed and fixed via the vacuum platform 9.
[0051] In the wiping mechanism 100, the main body of the scrubbing cloth roll 3 is wound on the discharge roller 12, and the end of the scrubbing cloth roll 3 is fixed on the retracting roller 13. The retracting roller 13 can fix one end of the used scrubbing cloth roll 3 and rotate it for recovery under the drive of the motor 1;

[0053] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the material of the scrubbing cloth roll 3, by mass percentage, includes the following raw materials: 50% polyester, 50% wood pulp, and the scrubbing cloth roll 3 when unfolded has a thickness of 0.3±0.2 mm and a width of 100±5 mm.

[0055] The added cursor ruler 18 and photoelectric sensor 2 are based on the principle of light interference to measure the length or displacement of the scrubbing cloth roll 3. Specifically, the added cursor ruler 18 and photoelectric sensor 2 can control the cleaning cloth roll 3 to move a fixed distance after each scrubbing, thereby ensuring that the weak acid solution, pure water and dry scrubbing cloth roll 3 can accurately fall below the central hole of the substrate 17 to be cleaned; through this arrangement, the weak acid solution can accurately and effectively clean the central hole of the substrate 17 to be cleaned, reduce the short circuit phenomenon after the subsequent installation of the junction box, and improve the product yield.
[0056] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the wiping mechanism 100 further includes a plurality of tensioning rollers 16, the plurality of tensioning rollers 16 are located between the discharge roller 12 and the retracting roller 13, and the outside of the tensioning rollers 16 is in close contact with the scrubbing cloth roll 3; specifically, the number of the tensioning rollers 16 is not less than two;
[0057] Specifically, the tension roller 16 forms a conveying channel for the scrubbing cloth roll 3 between the retracting roller 13 and the discharging roller 12, so as to stabilize the conveying of the scrubbing cloth roll 3, thereby fixing the position and direction of the scrubbing cloth roll 3 during the wiping process;
[0058] The motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13 to rotate through the rotating mechanism, and a plurality of tensioning rollers 16 form a conveying channel for the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to pass through between the retracting roller and the discharging roller. The scrubbing cloth roll 3 in the conveying channel passes through the processing area of the substrate 17 to be processed;
[0059] Furthermore, a plurality of tension rollers 16 are provided to prevent the scrubbing cloth roll 3 from rolling up, jamming, or deflecting during transmission.
[0060] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300 includes an acid spraying nozzle 4 and a water spraying nozzle 5 which are arranged opposite to each other;
[0061] Specifically, the water spray nozzle 5 and the acid spray nozzle 4 are arranged from left to right along the conveying direction of the substrate 17 to be processed; in this position arrangement, during the conveying process of the substrate 17 to be processed, the substrate 17 to be processed is first scrubbed by the scrubbing cloth roll 3 with a weak acid solution, and then scrubbed by the scrubbing cloth roll 3 with a pure water liquid;
[0062] The acid spray nozzle 4 is used to spray acid onto the scrubbing cloth roll 3, and the water spray nozzle 5 is used to spray pure water onto the scrubbing cloth roll 3. In actual use, the acid spray nozzle 4 and the water spray nozzle 5 can be externally connected to an acid tank and a pure water tank, and the acid tank and the pure water tank are used to supply acid and water to the acid spray nozzle 4 and the water spray nozzle 5, respectively.
[0063] Specifically, the acid solution sprayed from the acid spray nozzle 4 to the scrubbing cloth roll 3 is a weak acid solution, including but not limited to weak acid cleaning solutions such as aminosulfonic acid, ammonium aminosulfonate, and hydrochloric acid.
[0064] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a drip regulating valve is further provided on the acid spray nozzle 4 and the water spray nozzle 5 to control the amount and speed of liquid dripping into the scrubbing cloth roll 3 .
[0065] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the roller scrubbing assembly includes a scrubbing roller 6, a driving mechanism three and a lifting cylinder, and the driving mechanism three is used to drive the scrubbing roller 6 to rotate;
[0066] The lifting cylinder is used to lift the driving mechanism 3, thereby driving the scrubbing roller 6 to rise and fall;
[0067] Specifically, the driving mechanism three can be a gear belt mechanism, more specifically, the gear belt mechanism includes two pulleys and a belt wound around the outside of the two pulleys, wherein a driving motor is provided on one of the pulleys for driving the rotation of one of the pulleys, one end of the scrubbing roller 6 can be installed on one of the pulleys, and the other end of the scrubbing roller 6 is used to wipe the to-be-processed area of the to-be-processed substrate 17 (i.e., the small hole at the center of the edge of the to-be-processed substrate 17), and the driving motor drives the pulley to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the scrubbing roller 6;
[0068] One end of the scrubbing roller 6 away from the belt pulley is a wiping head.
[0069] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a test device lifting cylinder is provided below the resistance test device 7 , and the test device lifting cylinder is used for lifting and lowering the resistance test device 7 .
[0070] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning detection mechanism 200 further includes a pressing block clamp 11, two pressing block clamps 11 are provided opposite to each other, and the two conveyor belts 8 are located between the two pressing block clamps 11;
[0071] The two pressing block clamps 11 are used to clamp the edges of the substrate 17 to be processed after it is positioned. Specifically, a driving mechanism can be provided at the bottom of the two pressing block clamps 11, and a lifting mechanism is provided on the driving mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to lift and lower the driving mechanism, thereby driving the lifting and lowering of the pressing block clamps 11. The driving mechanism is used to push the pressing block clamps 11 to move forward and backward, so that the pressing block clamps 11 can clamp the side of the substrate 17 to be processed, thereby fixing the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed, that is, the edge of the entire substrate 17 to be processed is in a clamped state.
[0072] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning detection mechanism 200 further includes a positioning block 15, the positioning block 15 is disposed between the two conveyor belts 8, and a driving mechanism 1 is disposed at the bottom of the positioning block 15, the driving mechanism 1 is used to drive the lifting of the positioning block 15;
[0073] During the transmission of the substrate 17 to be processed on the conveyor belt 8, the positioning sensor 14 is used to obtain the position of the substrate 17 to be processed. After the substrate 17 to be processed is transmitted to the wiping area of the scrubbing cloth roll 3 via the conveyor belt 8, the conveyor belt 8 can stop conveying. The positioning block 15 can be used to position the substrate 17 to be processed on the conveyor belt 8, and can also be used to block the substrate 17 to be processed from moving forward.
[0074] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, vacuum suction cups 10 are evenly distributed on the vacuum platform 9;
[0075] A second driving mechanism is provided at the bottom of the vacuum platform 9, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the vacuum platform 9 to rise and fall; after the vacuum platform 9 is raised, its height can be consistent with the height of the pressing block fixture 11;

[0078] Specifically, the two cylinders can be located below the vacuum platform 9, and the two cylinders are placed opposite to each other, that is, the output ends of the two cylinders are far away from each other; because the output ends of the two cylinders are respectively connected to the two wiping mechanisms 100, the two wiping mechanisms 100 can be moved back and forth, and when the substrate 17 to be processed is transmitted to the conveyor belt 8, the transmission of the substrate 17 to be processed is not affected. After the substrate 17 to be processed is transmitted to the wiping area of the scrubbing cloth roll 3, the two wiping mechanisms 100 can be moved to the bottom of the substrate 17 to be processed, and the area to be processed on the substrate 17 to be processed (that is, the small hole in the center of the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed) is cleaned.
[0079] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention also provides a cleaning method for a copper indium gallium selenide thin film solar cell back side cleaning device, using the copper indium gallium selenide thin film solar cell back side cleaning device to clean a substrate 17 to be processed. Specifically, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:
[0080] S1. Initial state preparation
[0081] like Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, the two wiping mechanisms 100 are opened under the action of the cylinder, the motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13 to pull out the scrubbing cloth roll 3 and place it under the cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300, and the pure water sprayed by the water spray nozzle 5 and the weak acid solution sprayed by the acid spray nozzle 4 are respectively dripped onto the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to form a circular area;
[0082] Specifically, Figure 3 This is a front view of the two wiping mechanisms 100 opened under the action of the cylinder in the initial state. Figure 4 is a top view of the two wiping mechanisms 100 opened under the action of the cylinder in the initial state, and a top view of the two wiping mechanisms 100 opened under the action of the cylinder;
[0083] The motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13 to pull out the scrubbing cloth roll 3 and place it under the cleaning liquid spraying assembly 300. Under the action of the compressed air in the air pipe, the pure water sprayed by the water spray nozzle 5 and the weak acid (5% aminosulfonic acid, etc.) solution sprayed by the acid spray nozzle 4 are respectively dripped onto the scrubbing cloth roll 3. After dripping, a circular area appears on the scrubbing cloth roll. The drip regulating valve can control the area of the circular area after dripping to be 125-175mm 2 The amount of weak acid (5% aminosulfonic acid, etc.) solution and pure water used is between 0 and 25 ml, depending on the actual wiping effect. The current setting value is 15 ml.
[0084] S2. Cleaning the back of the substrate to be processed
[0085] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, step S2 is specifically as follows:
[0086] S21, the substrate 17 to be processed is transported via the conveyor belt 8, and after the positioning sensor 14 receives the position of the substrate 17 to be processed reaching above the scrubbing cloth roll 3, the conveyor belt 8 stops conveying, the positioning block 15 is lifted, the vacuum platform 9 rises, the vacuum platform 10 absorbs the glass surface of the substrate 17 to be processed, and the block clamps 11 on both sides press down to clamp and fix the substrate 17 to be processed;
[0087] S22, the two wiping mechanisms 100 are retracted inwards and moved to the bottom of the substrate 17 to be processed under the action of the cylinder, the ascending cylinder drives the scrubbing roller 6 to lift the circular area on the scrubbing cloth roll 3 upwards, and the driving mechanism 3 drives the scrubbing roller 6 to rotate and wipe the small hole at the center of the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed. After the wiping is completed, the ascending cylinder retracts and the scrubbing roller 6 falls to the origin position;
[0088] Specifically, the pressure between the scrubbing roller 6 and the surface of the substrate 17 to be processed is between 1 and 25N when the scrubbing roller 6 rises, and the current setting value is 15N. During a single wiping process, the scrubbing roller 6 rotates 4 circles, and the number of scrubbing circles can be increased or decreased according to the actual cleaning situation;
[0089] S23, the motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13, pulls the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to rotate, moves the dry cloth roll to the small hole at the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed, and the rising cylinder drives the scrubbing roller 6 to rise and lift up the dry scrubbing cloth roll 3 to rotate and wipe. After wiping is completed, the rising cylinder retracts and the scrubbing roller 6 falls to the original position;
[0090] S24, the motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13, pulls the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to rotate, moves the cleaning cloth roll dripped with pure water to the small hole at the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed, and the rising cylinder drives the scrubbing roller 6 to raise the wiping head and lift up the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to repeat the previous wiping action. After the wiping is completed, the rising cylinder shrinks and the scrubbing roller 6 falls to the original position;
[0091] S25, the motor 1 drives the retracting roller 13, pulls the scrubbing cloth roll 3 to rotate, moves the dry cloth roll to the small hole at the edge of the substrate 17 to be processed, and the lifting cylinder drives the scrubbing roller 6 to rise and lift up the cleaning cloth roll to repeat the previous wiping action. After the wiping is completed, the lifting cylinder retracts and the scrubbing roller 6 falls to the original position;
[0092] In step S25, the optical ruler 18 and the photoelectric sensor 2 added to the wiping mechanism 100 can control the cleaning cloth roll 3 to move a fixed distance after each wiping. Specifically, the center positions of the dripped acid solution and the aqueous solution are 20 cm apart, and the cleaning cloth roll 3 moves 10 cm after wiping, ensuring that the dripped acid solution, the dripped pure water and the dry cleaning cloth roll 3 can accurately fall below the central hole of the substrate 17 to be cleaned;
