Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a battery preparation device, in particular to a BC battery string welding machine. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the battery technology in the photovoltaic industry has experienced rapid development, from the initial BSF (Back Surface Field, aluminum back field) battery and PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell, passivated emitter and rear cell), gradually upgraded to TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact, tunnel oxide passivated contact) battery, HJT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer, intrinsic thin layer heterojunction) battery and BC (Back Contact, back contact) battery. The continuous evolution of these new battery technologies is mainly committed to improving the efficiency of photoelectric conversion and reducing production costs. Among them, BC batteries have become the focus technology in the industry due to their unique design. The electrodes of this battery are all arranged on the back of the battery cell, forming a cross-knuckle structure, which effectively reduces the front shading and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency. At the same time, BC batteries can be combined with TOPCon technology to form TBC (TOPCon Back Cntact, TOPCon back contact) batteries, or combined with HJT technology to form HBC (Heterojunction Back Contact, heterojunction back contact) cells, further improving performance, showing its broad prospects as a platform technology.
[0003] However, the unique structural design of BC batteries also poses challenges to string welding technology. Since all welding operations need to be performed on the back, traditional welding processes are difficult to fully adapt, which may cause warping of the battery cells after welding or uneven welding. In addition, during the string welding process, different process routes have different requirements for the placement of welding ribbons and equipment performance. For example, some technologies use circular welding ribbons to transport and weld the entire string, but are limited by the equipment's inability to be compatible with changes in the length of the battery string; others use odd and even welding ribbons to be pulled separately and placed directly on the battery cells, but their accuracy is low and their production capacity is limited. These shortcomings of the existing process have become a bottleneck for the further development of BC battery string welding technology.
[0004] Therefore, how to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency welding in the string welding process of BC cells and effectively control the warping of the cell has become an important technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the field of photovoltaic cell manufacturing.

[0069] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0070] (1) The present invention provides a BC battery string welding machine, including a battery feeding unit, a battery printing unit, a string making unit, a tape unwinding unit, a tape making unit, and a tape transport unit. Through the seamless linkage of various functional components, fully automated production from battery cell feeding to welding and curing is achieved, greatly improving production efficiency. In addition, the present invention is compatible with a variety of welding tape specifications and battery strings of different lengths to meet diverse process requirements.
[0071] (2) The present invention achieves highly flexible production capacity through high coordination between modules. The battery feeding section supports docking with solder paste printing equipment, accurately aligns the battery cells printed with solder paste and transmits them to the string making section. The string making section uses the string making visual inspection system and the battery cell rotation mechanism to flexibly adjust the direction of the battery cells according to the specific requirements of the battery string, ensuring the compatibility of different battery cell arrangements; at the same time, the tape making section generates solder strips of different specifications and accurately transports them through the tape transport section, realizing the flexible application of multiple solder strips (long solder strips, short solder strips and inter-string solder strips); the above design enables the equipment to easily cope with the length changes and complex structural requirements of the battery string, solving the limitations of traditional equipment in flexible production.
[0072] (3) The present invention has high-precision control capability; the battery feeding section, stringing section and belt conveying section are all equipped with a visual inspection system, which can identify the slight offset of the battery cell and the welding strip, and realize the dynamic adjustment of the position of the battery cell and the welding strip to ensure the positioning accuracy of the welding; the needle pressing device provides uniform pressure through multiple spring needles to ensure that the welding strip is completely fitted with the surface of the battery cell; in the welding strip clamping assembly, the clamping pressure can be adjusted to adapt to welding strips of different thicknesses and materials, thereby improving welding accuracy.
[0073] (4) The multi-module collaboration of the present invention greatly improves the overall production efficiency. The battery feeding section and the printing section realize the parallel transmission of multiple battery cells through a multi-track design, avoiding the production bottleneck caused by single-track transmission in traditional processes. At the same time, the seamless connection between the string making section, the belt conveying section and the belt making section optimizes the rhythm of each step. During the laying of the solder tape, the belt conveying section uses multiple groups of adsorption holes to achieve rapid adsorption and precise placement of the solder tape, and the synchronous operation with the needle pressing device effectively saves the time for fixing the solder tape and the battery cell. While the belt making section is preparing the next batch of solder tapes, the belt conveying section has already started a new round of solder tape laying operations. The multi-threaded operation of the entire system maximizes production efficiency.
[0074] (5) The present invention is adapted to the complex requirements of BC battery back welding. The string making unit ensures that different types of battery strings can be arranged with high precision through visual inspection and dynamic adjustment, while the synergy between the tape making unit and the tape transport unit makes the generation, separation and laying of welding tapes more efficient. The tape transport unit can separate and place odd-numbered welding tapes and even-numbered welding tapes according to different requirements to ensure that the positions of welding points are accurate. At the same time, the tape transport unit 600 pre-cures and optimizes the flatness of the welding tape, further improving the reliability of complex welding structures.
[0075] (6) The present invention achieves energy conservation and environmental protection through the coordinated optimization of each module. The UV lamp board of the belt conveyor adopts local curing technology, and accurately controls the scope of action of UV light through the shading plate and shading foam, thereby reducing energy waste. In the process of welding strip generation and processing, the belt making unit reduces material waste through efficient layout and optimized design. From battery cell feeding, welding strip generation to welding completion, each link of the present invention is based on close cooperation between modules, reducing unnecessary repeated actions and energy consumption.
[0076] (7) The present invention has high stability and easy maintainability. The battery feeding section, string making section and conveyor section achieve smooth operation through their own independent driving systems, avoiding interference between modules. At the same time, each module adopts a structured and standardized design. For example, the spring needle pressing device and adsorption device of the conveyor section are not only reliable and durable, but also easy to maintain and replace. When the equipment needs to be adjusted or upgraded, the function can be expanded or optimized by replacing a single module without changing the entire set of equipment. In addition, the functional components reduce potential errors in the operation process through precise collaboration, thereby further improving the stability and continuous production capacity of the overall system.

The B2 wire-passing wheels of the wire-passing wheel group 450 correspond to the B2 guide shafts 445, respectively, and are used to transition the welding ribbon 01 from the horizontal path to the guide rail of the storage unit 440. Three to four wire-passing wheel groups 450 are arranged parallel to each other between the guide shaft 445 of the tape storage unit 440 and the wire pressing bottom plate 461 of the wire clamping unit 460. One of the wire-passing wheel groups 450 is located on the side of the wire pressing bottom plate 461 close to the tape storage unit 440 and is connected to the connecting plate 473, which is used to position the welding strip 01 so that the welding strip 01 can smoothly enter the wire clamping unit 460.

[0163] Step 1: One unwinding unit 410 provides the welding tape 01 to the tape making unit 5000, and the following operations are performed manually on another adjacent unwinding unit 410:
[0164] Replace the welding ribbon unwinding reel 423 on the two rotating shafts 422 of another adjacent unwinding unit 410A;
[0165] The soldering tape 01 of the j-th soldering tape pay-off drum 423 of the i-th rotating shaft 422 is passed around the j-th roller of the i-th first tape winding shaft 424, and then passed around the j-th passing wheel 433 of the i-th second tape winding shaft 432 to change the direction of the soldering tape 01;
[0166] Then it passes around the j-th wire passing wheel of a wire passing wheel group 450, the corresponding guide rail of the j-th guide rail shaft 445 of a guide rail unit 443, and the j-th wire passing wheels of the three wire passing wheel groups 450;
[0167] Finally, the soldering ribbon 01 is pulled to the j-th wire pressing bottom plate 461, passed through the corresponding wire groove, and then the corresponding wire pressing block 463 and the pressing block 467 are used to press the soldering ribbon 01 on the top surface of the wire pressing bottom plate 461 to complete the wire pressing, and then the j-th wire pressing bottom plate 461151 is fixed to the work station using two positioning pins 466; wherein, i=1, ..., A2; j=1, ..., B2;
[0168] Step 2: After the welding tape 01 of the unwinding unit 410 to be used normally is used up, the connecting plate 473 is driven to move in the vertical direction by switching the cylinder 471, and the adjacent unwinding unit 410 processed in step 1 is switched to provide the welding tape 01 for the tape making part 5000.

[0170] For ease of understanding, the coordinate system is defined as follows: the length direction of the welding strip 01 is the X2 axis direction, the vertical upward direction is the positive direction of the Z2 axis, and the Y2 axis conforms to the left-hand rectangular coordinate system.

[0196] Step 2: Cut all the welding strips 01 by the two cutting knife assemblies 5350 of the positioning and cutting mechanism 5300 to form the initial position of the welding strips 01, and then correct the welding strips 01 by two positioning comb assemblies, as follows:
[0197] Step 2.1, in the two cutter units 5351 of each cutter assembly 5350, the cutter seat 5354 is driven by the cutter cylinder 5352 to move along the second vertical guide rail 5353, and the two cutters 5355 move toward each other to cut off all the welding strips 01, forming the initial position of the welding strips 01;
[0198] Step 2.2, the cut welding ribbon 01 automatically slides into the corresponding positioning comb assembly area, and the positioning comb cylinder 5362 drives the positioning plate 5364 to move on the positioning comb guide rail 5363 (moves along the Y2 axis direction), pushes the welding ribbon 01 into the gap between the steel needles, corrects the position of the welding ribbon 01, and ensures that the welding ribbon 01 is neatly arranged and parallel to the X2 axis direction;

[0207] The traction motor 5512 drives the two traction assemblies 5510 of the double-row traction mechanism 5500 to move a preset distance in the positive direction along the X2 axis through the traction guide rail 5513. For the long welding strip 03 between the two battery cells 02, as shown in FIG.

[0209] Alternatively, the double-row pressing pin assembly 5410 on the solder ribbon pressing mechanism 5400 is pressed downward;
[0210] Step 7, move the positioning tape cutting frame 5340 of the positioning tape cutting mechanism 5300 in the positive direction of the X2 axis by a preset distance 5, so that the two cutter assemblies 5350 in step 8 cut the welding tape 01 without interfering with the straightening and clamping mechanism 5200; the preset distance is 2-10 mm;
[0211] Step 8: Cut off all the welding ribbons 01 by positioning the two cutting knife assemblies 5350 of the ribbon cutting mechanism 5300;
[0212] Step 9, move the two solder strip pressing components 5220 and the overall solder strip pressing component 5240 of the solder strip pressing mechanism 5400 toward the positive direction of the Z2 axis to release the solder strip 01;
[0213] Step 10, the two adsorption components 5640 of the tape support and spacing mechanism 5600 are moved in the positive direction of the X2 axis, and at the same time, one adsorption unit 5641 of each adsorption component 5640 adsorbs the welding tape 01 with an even or odd sequence number, and the tape making is completed to obtain a welding tape group, such as Fig. 27 , Fig.28 shown.
