Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to equipment and a method specially used for stringing solar cell sheets, and in particular to a welding strip conveying and UV pre-curing mechanism and a method. Background Art

[0002] Reference Figure 1 , a busbarless XBC battery string includes X solar cells 01 arranged in sequence, a long welding strip 021 with a length of L1 and a short welding strip 022 with a length of L2, X≥2; each long welding strip 021 is arranged on two solar cells 01, and multiple long welding strips 021 realize the series connection of the 1st to Xth solar cells 01, and two short welding strips 022 are respectively arranged on the 1st and Xth solar cells 01 to draw out current; in the preparation of the busbarless XBC battery string, the welding strip 02 needs to be accurately transported to the pre-printed UV glue and cured. The traditional method of transporting the welding strip 02 by the stringer usually adopts a clamping mechanism, which clamps the welding strip 02 and places it at the specified position of the battery cell. However, in actual operation, there are several problems with the way of clamping and transporting the welding strip:

[0003] (1) The soldering ribbon is easy to deform: The soldering ribbon is made of thin copper-aluminum foil. During the traditional clamping and handling process, due to uneven force, the soldering ribbon is easy to flip over, affecting the subsequent positioning and pasting quality.

[0004] (2) Placement deviation: The existing clamping mechanism releases the solder ribbon at a certain height. Since the release position is unstable, the solder ribbon is easily deviated from the target position after placement and cannot be accurately aligned with the UV glue, resulting in poor bonding effect.

[0005] (3) UV glue curing delay: The current transport mechanism does not integrate the UV glue pre-curing function. The solder ribbon cannot be cured immediately after being transported to the battery cell, but needs to be transported to the next station for bonding and fixing. During the transportation process, the position of the solder ribbon and the UV glue is prone to offset, affecting the final curing effect and posing a risk to product quality.

[0006] The existing technology has problems such as insufficient precision, easy deviation and difficult quality control in the process of welding ribbon handling, positioning and curing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can improve the handling accuracy and stability and integrate the UV glue pre-curing function to optimize the preparation process of busbar-free XBC battery components and improve product quality.
