Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of perovskite thin-film solar cells, and particularly relates to a perovskite solution slot coating die head protection system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, perovskite thin-film solar cells have received extensive attention due to their excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency and low cost. Currently, in industrial production, techniques such as spin coating, evaporation coating, printing, and slot coating are used to prepare perovskite thin films. Among them, slot coating is one of the most widely used methods due to its high production capacity, good coating window adjustment, and stable and controllable product quality.

[0003] During the slot coating process, the perovskite solution flows out of the coating die head and is evenly coated on the surface of the substrate. Since the distance between the coating die head and the substrate is small, if there are particulate impurities or protrusions on the surface of the substrate, they are likely to get stuck in the slot during the coating process, thereby affecting the perovskite film formation quality, resulting in uneven film thickness and many defects, damaging the integrity of the substrate, and seriously damaging the structure of the coating die head and reducing the service life of the equipment.

[0004] The existing substrate detection and coating die head protection strategies rely on optical systems, and detect the substrate to be coated in the form of detection light in front of the coating die head and a receiver to avoid damage caused by the collision between the coating die head and the defects of the substrate. The disadvantages of this method are as follows: 1) The error of the optical system is large when the light transmittance of the substrate defect or particle is strong; 2) The accuracy of the optical system may be affected by the substrate thickness or ambient light; 3) It is difficult to preset the particle or defect tolerance space, which improves the requirements for the substrate or is prone to false alarms. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a perovskite solution slot coating die head protection system, which adopts a pressure sensing method. During the coating process, if a pressure change caused by impurities or protrusions is detected in front of the running direction of the coating die head, the coating process is automatically stopped to avoid accidental damage to the coating die head and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows. A perovskite solution slot die coating head protection system is provided, which includes a lead screw, a lead screw sleeve, an elastic connecting plate, a front guard plate and a controller.

A patch pressure sensor is provided on the elastic connecting plate, and there is a signal connection between the patch pressure sensor and the controller. A curtain pressure sensor is provided on the front guard plate, and there is a signal connection between the curtain pressure sensor and the controller. Rotate the lead screw to adjust the distance between the lower end of the front guard plate and the surface of the coating substrate. When the front guard plate touches the granular debris protruding on the surface of the coating substrate, the front guard plate generates a stress change and transmits the stress change to the elastic connecting plate. The patch pressure sensor senses the stress change generated by the elastic connecting plate, and the curtain pressure sensor senses the stress change generated by the front guard plate. The controller receives the stress change signals from the patch pressure sensor and the curtain pressure sensor respectively and controls the movement of the coating die head.

[0007] The present invention is implemented as follows. A second perovskite solution slot die coating head protection system is also provided, which includes a lead screw, a lead screw sleeve, an elastic connecting plate, a front guard plate and a controller.

The front guard plate extends downward and approaches the surface of the coating substrate. A patch pressure sensor is provided on the elastic connecting plate, and there is a signal connection between the patch pressure sensor and the controller. Rotate the lead screw to adjust the distance between the lower end of the front guard plate and the surface of the coating substrate.

The patch pressure sensor senses the stress change generated by the elastic connecting plate, and the controller receives the stress change signal from the patch pressure sensor and controls the movement of the coating die head.

[0008] The present invention is implemented as follows. A third perovskite solution slot coating die protection system is also provided, which includes a lead screw, a lead screw sleeve, an elastic connecting plate, a front guard plate and a controller. The lead screw is fixed on the coating die. The lead screw sleeve is matched with the lead screw and moves up and down along the lead screw.

The front guard plate is located at the front of the advancing direction of the coating die. The length of the front guard plate is aligned with the length of the coating die. The front guard plate extends downward and is close to the surface of the coating substrate. A curtain-shaped pressure sensor is arranged on the front guard plate, and a signal connection is established between the curtain-shaped pressure sensor and the controller. Rotate the lead screw to adjust the distance between the lower end of the front guard plate and the surface of the coating substrate.
