Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery piece inter-process transfer, in particular to a battery piece inter-process transfer method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important component of solar cells, silicon wafers need to be used in the production of photovoltaic cell silicon wafers. The wafer inserting machine is used to insert the battery silicon wafer into the basket one by one, so as to better store and process the battery silicon wafer. In the whole process of silicon battery manufacturing, the surface cleanliness of the silicon wafer during transportation plays a crucial role. If the silicon wafer surface is contaminated with impurities during storage, the residual impurities are easy to diffuse into the silicon wafer under the subsequent high-temperature process environment, causing defects and a large number of silicon wafers that need to be reworked. Even if some defective silicon wafers remove the surface defects through subsequent wet processing, the internal defects may still cause abnormal electroluminescence characteristics and electrical properties.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN116995010B includes: a conveying mechanism mounted on a chassis for conveying battery silicon wafers; a basket for inserting battery silicon wafers; a lifting mechanism for sequentially lifting the basket; a speed reduction mechanism arranged in the basket for reducing the speed of the battery silicon wafers; the conveying mechanism conveys the battery silicon wafers into the insertion basket, and the speed reduction mechanism reduces the speed of the battery silicon wafers during the insertion process, so that the speed of the battery silicon wafers stops when they are completely inserted into the insertion basket.

[0004] The above device, when in use, has a speed reduction mechanism inside the basket. The battery silicon wafers come into contact with the speed reduction mechanism during the insertion process. The speed reduction mechanism reduces the speed of the battery silicon wafers, so that the speed of the battery silicon wafers stops when they are completely inserted into the insertion slot. This avoids collisions between the battery silicon wafers and the inner wall of the insertion slot, achieving the purpose of protecting the battery silicon wafers. However, in actual use, since the battery silicon wafers are inserted horizontally during the insertion process, and the battery silicon wafers inside the basket are in a horizontal state, the contact area between the gravity and the contamination of the battery silicon wafers inside the basket during the transfer process is large, which easily causes contamination of the battery silicon wafers by particulate foreign matter. This affects the yield of the finished battery silicon wafers, so it is difficult to adjust the battery silicon wafers inside the basket to a vertical carrying posture during the transfer process.

A method for inter-process transfer of battery cells, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: S1, clamping basket: After the battery silicon wafer is inserted into the basket (21) through the process, the threaded rod (7) drives the movable sleeve (6) to move horizontally towards the end close to the first L-shaped plate (18), so that the limiting rod (16) pulls the gear (15) and spline shaft (13) to move horizontally towards the inclined plate (11) under the action of the movable block (17) and the first guide groove (181), so that the inclined plate (11) can drive the clamping plates (12) at both ends to move towards each other under the action of the trapezoidal block (14), so that the clamping plates (12) clamp and fix the basket (21); S2, Transfer basket: As the clamping plate (12) clamps the basket (21), the threaded rod (7) drives the movable sleeve (6) to move towards the end away from the first L-shaped plate (18) to reset. Then, the rectangular frame (10) can transfer the basket (21) to the corresponding position of the conveying mechanism (5) under the action of the movable sleeve (6). S3, Flipping the basket: As the movable sleeve (6) moves the basket (21) away from the first L-shaped plate (18), the gear (15) can drive the spline shaft (13) to rotate at a 90-degree angle under the action of the toothed plate (19). Thus, the spline sleeve rod (9) can drive the rectangular frame (10) to rotate at a 90-degree angle under the action of the spline shaft (13). The rectangular frame (10) rotates to a horizontal state, and then the clamping plate (12) changes the battery silicon wafer inside the basket (21) from horizontal transport to vertical transport posture. S4, Unloading operation: When the rectangular frame (10) moves the basket (21) to the limit distance of one end of the conveying mechanism (5), the movable block (17) can drive the limit rod (16) to move horizontally towards the rectangular frame (10) under the action of the second guide groove (201), and the inclined plate (11) can drive the clamps (12) at both ends to move in opposite directions under the action of the trapezoidal block (14). Then the clamps (12) release the clamping state of the basket (21), and the basket (21) can fall to the surface of the conveying mechanism (5) under its own weight. Then the conveying mechanism (5) will transport the basket (21) to the next process. A limiting rod (16) is connected to the rectangular block (8) and moves horizontally. The end of the limiting rod (16) away from the rectangular frame (10) is sleeved on the outer contour of the gear (15) and is movably connected.

A first L-shaped plate (18) is fixedly connected to the end of the track plate (4) near the movable sleeve (6). A first guide groove (181) is opened on the first L-shaped plate (18) to pull the clamping plate (12) to move towards each other and clamp the basket (21). A rectangular through groove (301) is opened on the placement plate (3) for the clamping plate (12) to move and clamp the basket (21). The track plate (4) is fixedly connected to a second L-shaped plate (20) at one end away from the first L-shaped plate (18). The second L-shaped plate (20) has a second guide groove (201) on it, which pulls the clamping plate (12) to move backward to feed the material basket (21). The second guide groove (201) is opposite to the position of the first guide groove (181).
