Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for preparing a welding strip, and in particular to a device and method for preparing a strip for BC battery welding. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology, especially in the application of back-contact cell (BC) technology, string soldering has become a critical technical step. The unique structural design of BC cells—all electrodes located on the back of the cell—offers advantages for improving cell efficiency, but also brings new manufacturing challenges. In particular, during the string soldering process, the soldering on the back of the cell, the method of securing the solder ribbon, and its positional accuracy have a crucial impact on the quality of the final product and production efficiency.
[0003] There are multiple options for producing BC battery ribbons, each tailored to specific application scenarios and offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. Traditionally, the entire string handling method requires the ribbons to be produced in one go, then handled and welded together using equipment. While this method can meet the needs of certain applications, due to equipment limitations, it is not compatible with battery strings of varying lengths. Furthermore, if a particular set of ribbons fails, the entire string must be remade, resulting in significant waste.
[0004] Another common ribbon manufacturing process is a separate pulling method, where the odd-numbered and even-numbered ribbons are pulled separately and placed directly onto the cell. This method has lower production efficiency and can easily lead to deviations in ribbon placement accuracy, potentially affecting the overall quality of the cell.
[0005] Some BC battery string welding systems on the market use infrared welding technology. This technology utilizes infrared heating to achieve welding, effectively reducing equipment operating costs. However, infrared welding typically relies on the production of an entire string of solder ribbons, which results in poor equipment compatibility. If a solder ribbon fails, the entire string must be remade, resulting in significant material waste.
[0006] Therefore, the string soldering process for BC cells still faces many challenges, including soldering accuracy, equipment compatibility, production efficiency, and material waste. Solving these problems is crucial to improving BC cell production efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing the market competitiveness of photovoltaic cells. Summary of the Invention

The driving end of the maintenance cylinder 430 is connected to the single-row pressure needle assembly 420 and the double-row pressure needle assembly 410 through a connecting plate.

It includes a spacing base plate 610, a first spacing motor 620, a spacing component 630, and A (two) adsorption components 640.
[0106] The first spacing motor 620 (a linear motor, moving along the X-axis) is mounted on the top surface of the spacing base plate 610, with a spacing assembly 630 mounted thereon. The spacing assembly 630 includes a second spacing motor 631 and a second horizontal guide rail 632 (moving along the X-axis). Two suction assemblies 640 are sequentially mounted on the second horizontal guide rail 632 along the Y-axis and connected to the drive end of the second spacing motor 631. The two suction assemblies 640 move along the X-axis below the gripping assemblies 514 of the two traction assemblies 510.
[0107] Each adsorption component 640 includes two adsorption units 641 arranged in sequence along the X-axis. Each adsorption unit 641 includes an adsorption base 642, five parallel adsorption strips 643 and multiple positioning bosses 645. Each adsorption strip 643 corresponds to a welding strip 01.

Every two positioning bosses 645 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of an adsorption hole 644 to assist in positioning the welding strip 01.

[0110] A method for making a tape for BC battery welding, using the above-mentioned tape making device for BC battery welding, comprises the following steps:
[0111] Step 1: All the welding ribbons 01 are sequentially passed through the multiple welding ribbon slots of the wire comb 230, the corresponding cutter assembly 350, and the gaps between the adjacent positioning steel needles 365 in the corresponding positioning comb assembly. All the welding ribbons 01 are clamped by the two clamping assemblies 514, and then all the welding ribbons 01 are compressed by the two welding ribbon compression assemblies 220 and the overall welding ribbon compression assembly 240 of the straightening and compression mechanism 200.
[0112] Step 2: Cut all the soldering ribbons 01 by the two cutter assemblies 350 of the positioning and cutting mechanism 300 to form the initial position of the soldering ribbons 01, and then straighten the soldering ribbons 01 by the two positioning comb assemblies, as follows:
[0113] Step 2.1: In each cutter assembly 350, the two cutter units 351 drive the cutter seat 354 to move along the second vertical guide rail 353 via the cutter cylinder 352. The two cutters 355 move toward each other to cut off all the welding strips 01, forming the initial position of the welding strips 01.
[0114] Step 2.2: The cut welding ribbon 01 automatically slides into the corresponding positioning comb assembly area. The positioning comb cylinder 362 drives the positioning plate 364 to move on the positioning comb guide rail 363 (moving along the Y-axis direction), pushing the welding ribbon 01 into the gap between the steel needles, correcting the position of the welding ribbon 01, and ensuring that the welding ribbon 01 is neatly arranged and parallel to the X-axis direction.
[0115] Step 3: Make the two clamping components 514 loosen all the welding ribbons 01, and then move the two traction components 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 to the initial position of the welding ribbons 01, specifically:
[0116] The traction motor 512 drives the traction assembly 510 to move along the traction guide rail 513 toward the initial position of the welding ribbon 01. When the traction assembly 510 approaches the initial position of the welding ribbon 01, the position can be detected by mechanical limit or sensor to ensure that the traction assembly 510 reaches the correct initial position of the welding ribbon 01.
[0117] Step 4: Clamp all the welding ribbons 01 using two clamping assemblies 514;
[0118] Alternatively, the soldering ribbons 01 with even numbers are clamped by one clamping unit 516 of the two clamping assemblies 514, and the soldering ribbons 01 with odd numbers are clamped by one soldering ribbon clamping assembly 220 of the straightening and clamping mechanism 200;
[0119] The welding strips 01 with odd numbers are clamped by a clamping unit 516 of the two clamping assemblies 514, and the welding strips 01 with even numbers are clamped by a welding strip clamping assembly 220 of the straightening and clamping mechanism 200;
[0120] The clamping action of a clamping unit 516 is as follows: the linked cylinder 5120 is activated, driving the piston rod 518 to move, driving the multiple clamping claws 519 to press down; each clamping claw 519 contacts and clamps the corresponding welding strip 01 to ensure that the welding strip 01 is fixed;
[0121] The specific pressing action of a solder ribbon pressing assembly 220 is as follows: the first pressing cylinder 221 drives the first pressing block 223 to move downward, and the solder ribbon 01 is independently pressed through the pressing groove at the bottom of the first pressing block 223;
[0122] Step 5: Move the two traction assemblies 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 in the positive direction of the X-axis by a preset distance, and place the support belt spacing mechanism 600 below the welding ribbon 01. Specifically:
[0123] The traction motor 512 drives the two traction assemblies 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 to move a preset distance in the positive direction along the X-axis through the traction guide rail 513. For a long solder ribbon between two cells, the preset distance = two cell widths - 2 * compensation value; for a short solder ribbon between strings, the preset distance = one cell width - compensation value. The compensation value is determined by the battery process and is generally -10 to 10 mm.
[0124] Step 6: Press down the single-row press pin assembly 420 and the double-row press pin assembly 410 on the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 400;
[0125] Alternatively, the double-row pressing pin assembly 410 on the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 400 is pressed downward;
[0126] Step 7: Move the positioning and cutting frame 340 of the positioning and cutting mechanism 300 in the positive direction of the X axis by a preset distance of 5 mm so that the cutter assembly 350 in step 8A cuts the welding ribbon 01 without interfering with the straightening and pressing mechanism 200; the preset distance is 2 to 10 mm;
[0127] Step 8: Cut off all the welding ribbons 01 by positioning the two cutter assemblies 350 of the ribbon cutting mechanism 300;
[0128] Step 9: Move the two solder ribbon pressing assemblies 220 and the entire solder ribbon pressing assembly 240 of the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 400 in the positive direction of the Z axis to release the solder ribbon 01;
[0129] Step 10: Move the two adsorption components 640 of the tape support and spacing mechanism 600 in the positive direction of the X axis. At the same time, one adsorption unit 641 of each adsorption component 640 adsorbs the welding tape 01 with an even or odd sequence number, thereby completing the tape making.

All the welding ribbons 01 are clamped by the two clamping assemblies 514, and then all the welding ribbons 01 are compressed by the two welding ribbon compression assemblies 220 and the overall welding ribbon compression assembly 240 of the straightening and compression mechanism 200.
[0134] Step 2: The two cutter assemblies 350 of the positioning and cutting mechanism 300 cut all the welding strips 01 to form the initial position of the welding strips 01. Then, the welding strips 01 are straightened by the two positioning comb assemblies. The knife cylinder 352 drives the cutter seat 354 to move along the second vertical guide rail 353. The two cutters 355 move toward each other and cut all the welding strips 01 to form the initial position of the welding strips 01.
[0135] Step 2.2: The cut welding ribbon 01 automatically slides into the corresponding positioning comb assembly area. The positioning comb cylinder 362 drives the positioning plate 364 to move on the positioning comb guide rail 363 (moving along the Y-axis direction), pushing the welding ribbon 01 into the gap between the steel needles, correcting the position of the welding ribbon 01, and ensuring that the welding ribbon 01 is neatly arranged and parallel to the X-axis direction.
[0136] Step 3: Make the two clamping components 514 loosen all the welding ribbons 01, and then move the two traction components 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 to the initial position of the welding ribbons 01, specifically:
[0137] The traction motor 512 drives the traction assembly 510 to move along the traction guide rail 513 toward the initial position of the welding ribbon 01. When the traction assembly 510 approaches the initial position of the welding ribbon 01, the position can be detected by mechanical limit or sensor to ensure that the traction assembly 510 reaches the correct initial position of the welding ribbon 01.
[0138] Step 4: Clamp all the welding ribbons 01 using two clamping assemblies 514;
[0139] Step 5: Move the two traction assemblies 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 in the positive direction of the X-axis by a preset distance, and place the support belt spacing mechanism 600 below the welding ribbon 01. Specifically:
[0140] The traction motor 512 drives the two traction assemblies 510 of the double-row traction mechanism 500 to move a preset distance in the positive direction along the X-axis through the traction guide rail 513. The preset distance = the width of the two battery cells - 2 * the compensation value; the compensation value is -10 to 10 mm.
[0141] Step 6: Press down the single-row press pin assembly 420 and the double-row press pin assembly 410 on the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 400 simultaneously;
[0142] Step 7: Move the positioning cutting frame 340 of the positioning cutting mechanism 300 in the positive direction of the X axis by a preset distance of 5, so that the cutting blade assembly 350 in step 8A cuts the welding ribbon 01 without interfering with the straightening and pressing mechanism 200; the preset distance is 4 to 8 mm.
[0143] Step 8: Cut off all the welding ribbons 01 by positioning the two cutter assemblies 350 of the ribbon cutting mechanism 300;
[0144] Step 9: Move the two solder ribbon pressing assemblies 220 and the entire solder ribbon pressing assembly 240 of the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 400 in the positive direction of the Z axis to release the solder ribbon 01;
[0145] Step 10: Move the two adsorption components 640 of the support and spacing mechanism 600 toward the positive direction of the X axis. At the same time, one adsorption unit 641 of each adsorption component 640 adsorbs the solder strips 01 with even numbers, thus completing the production of the cross-knuckle solder strips 01 required for the BC battery.
