Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-grid photovoltaic cell string welding, in particular to a multi-grid photovoltaic cell manufacturing process and string welding equipment. Background Art

[0002] Multi-grid photovoltaic cell string welding equipment is a core piece of equipment in photovoltaic module manufacturing. It's primarily used to efficiently connect solar cells with multiple busbars (e.g., 9, 12, or more), creating a series circuit through precision welding, thereby improving module power output and reliability. Its key functions include reducing resistive losses (by distributing the current collection path) and enhancing mechanical strength (by reducing the risk of hidden cracks). It also provides compatibility with high-efficiency cell technologies such as PERC, TOPCon, and HJT, and is particularly well-suited for the low-temperature welding requirements of fine grid lines (≤50μm) and ultra-thin silicon wafers (≤150μm). This equipment utilizes advanced technologies such as multi-axis vision positioning (accuracy ≤±0.1mm) and intelligent quality control (such as online EL testing) to support high-speed production (over 1200 cells / hour) and large-size cells (e.g., 210mm). It also significantly reduces costs by reducing silver paste usage and improving yield (≥99.5%). Current technology is evolving towards ultra-multi-grids (over 24 grids) and busbar-less modules, pushing module efficiency above 26%. It is a key piece of equipment in the photovoltaic industry's journey towards higher efficiency and larger sizes.

[0003] The electrode sheets (grid lines) of photovoltaic cells are usually made of silver paste (busbar) or silver aluminum paste (fine grid). The width of the grid lines ranges from 50μm (fine grid) to 1mm (busbar). The solder strips are mostly tin-coated copper strips (lead-containing / lead-free) and need to meet the requirements of low resistance (≤0.0175Ω·mm 2 / m) and high tensile strength (≥90MPa). The welding process can be selected according to the difference in battery technology, such as infrared welding (HJT battery, ≤200℃), hot air welding (PERC / TOPCon, 250~300℃) or laser welding (ultra-fine grid lines). The key parameters include temperature (matching slurry characteristics), pressure (0.5~2N / mm 2 ) and time (0.5-3 seconds), and detects cold solder joints or hidden cracks using EL imaging and infrared thermal imaging. Current trends focus on busbar-free (OBB) technology and low-temperature interconnect materials (such as conductive adhesives) to reduce silver consumption and adapt to HJT / perovskite cells. Simultaneously, AI real-time control and copper electroplating technologies are driving the industry towards high efficiency and low cost.

[0004] Existing multi-grid photovoltaic cell string welding equipment has obvious shortcomings. Usually, there is no relevant cleaning device for the conveyor belt, which can easily cause flux residue and dust and metal powder adsorption, which will contaminate the cell during transportation, thereby affecting the welding quality and performance of the cell. The current cleaning method is to shut down or take the conveyor belt offline, manually spray or apply the detergent on the surface of the conveyor belt, and then clean it with a brush or non-woven fabric. This method will not only cause the production process to be interrupted, increase debugging time and production costs, but also the long cleaning process will also reduce the overall production efficiency. At the same time, since the detergent reacts with the flux residue, it takes a long time, which can easily cause the detergent to drip, causing environmental pollution.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for an online cleaning conveyor belt that can meet the long reaction time required for the cleaning agent to react with the flux residue without affecting the production efficiency of the multi-grid photovoltaic cell string welding equipment.

As the stepper motor drives the conveyor belt to move, the conveyor belt and the detergent move relative to each other, which not only ensures the reaction time between the detergent and the flux residue, but also increases the contact area and time of the flux residue and the detergent, thereby effectively shortening the time required to eliminate the flux residue and improving the cleaning effect.

At the same time, the cleaning link is sealed due to the external assembly, which prevents the detergent from dripping and polluting the environment. The staff can easily adjust the position of the container box and the drying part by controlling the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod according to the cleaning needs of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the conveyor belt can be effectively maintained.

The stepper motor 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 1 through a connecting component. The top of the base 1 is rotatably connected to two main rollers 3 through a connecting component. The outer side of the two main rollers 3 close to the base 1 is fixed with teeth, and one of the main rollers 3 is connected to the output end of the stepper motor 2 through a speed reducer. The conveyor belt 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the two main rollers 3, and the electrode sheet 6 is placed on the top of the conveyor belt 4. The base 1 close to the main roller 3 is fixed with teeth. An outer assembly 5 is fixed on the side, and the outer assembly 5 is located on the side close to the two main rollers 3. The outer assembly 5 includes a top plate 51, a side plate 52 and a bottom plate 53, one of the side plates 52 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the two side plates 52 are fixed to the bottom of the top plate 51, the bottom plate 53 is fixed to the bottom of the two side plates 52, the telescopic rod 7 is fixed to the bottom of the bottom plate 53, and an ash box 11 is fixed on the inner side of the two side plates 52. The ash box 11 is located on one side of the bottom plate 53, and multiple groups of driven rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the two side plates 52, and two driven rollers 12 form a group.

[0047] In this embodiment, before using this device, the staff needs to pass the cleaning agent through the hydraulic pump and the feed pipe 83, and inject it into the interior of the container box 81, align the liquid level with the bottom of the inclined surface of the container box 81, and then connect the discharge pipe 82 to the waste liquid recovery equipment through a pipeline. Finally, fix the vacuum cleaner to the interface at the bottom of the dust collection box 11 and start the vacuum cleaner. When the conveyor belt 4 moves to the top of the dust collection box 11, clean the metal debris and dust from the surface of the conveyor belt 4 for daily cleaning.

[0048] Specifically, the transmission member 13 is configured to make the drying member 9 reciprocate by utilizing the power of the stepping motor 2 to transport the electrode plate in conjunction with the triangular plate 133; the transmission member 13 includes two rotating shafts 131, and the two rotating shafts 131 are rotatably mounted on the inner sides of both ends of the base 1, and the other ends of the two rotating shafts 131 are fixed with large gears 132, and the two large gears 132 are respectively engaged with the teeth on the outer sides of the two main rollers 3, and the two triangular plates 133 are respectively fixed to the middle parts of the two rotating shafts 131, and a limiting rod 135 is fixed on the inner side of the base 1, and a link plate 134 is slidably engaged on the outer side of the limiting rod 135, and one end of one triangular plate 133 is in contact with the inner side of one end of the link plate 134, and the two ends of the other triangular plate 133 are in contact with the inner side of the link plate The inner side of the other end of the plate 134 is in contact, and a block is fixed to the bottom of each link plate 134. The transmission member 13 also includes a slide rail 136, which is fixedly connected to the other side of the movable plate 91 near the base 1. The outer side of the slide rail 136 is slidably clamped with a toothed plate 137. A pinion 138 is fixed to the end of the lead screw 93 near the base 1, and the pinion 138 is engaged with the toothed plate 137. A hollow frame 139 is fixed to the top of the toothed plate 137, and the hollow frame 139 is located below the block. The lifting member includes a cylinder 71, which is fixed to the output end of the telescopic rod 7. A locking plate 72 is fixed to the outer side of the cylinder 71. The top of the bottom plate 53 is slidably clamped with a lifting plate 73 through a connecting component, and a base 74 is placed on the top of the lifting plate 73.

[0049] When the conveyor belt 4 needs to be cleaned, the staff controls the extension of the telescopic rod 7 to move the container box 81 to the side close to the top plate 51 through the cylinder 71, so that the liquid surface is aligned with the side of the conveyor belt 4 that transports the electrode plate. At this time, the flux residue on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 is immersed below the liquid surface. At the same time, the cylinder 71 drives the clamping plate 72 to move to the side close to the top plate 51, and the clamping plate 72 drives the lifting plate 73 to move through its inclined surface. The lifting plate 73 pushes the base 74 to move to the side close to the top plate 51 through the arc at its top. The base 74 drives the drying member 9 to move to the side close to the top plate 51, and then moves the clamping plate into the inner side of the hollow frame 139, so that the transmission member 13 and the drying member 9 are connected in transmission. At this time, the heating and welding of the electrode plate and the welding strip by the single-shot welding member 17 is completed.

[0050] When the conveyor belt 4 is cleaned, when the single-lens welding part 17 heats and welds the electrode plate and the welding strip, the staff controls the telescopic rod 7 to retract, and the telescopic rod 7 drives the containing box 81 to return to its original position through the cylinder 71. At the same time, the cylinder 71 drives the triangular block on its top to move to the side close to the telescopic rod 7, and the triangular block drives the lifting plate 73 to move through its inclined surface. The arc at the top of the lifting plate 73 is misaligned with the arc at the bottom of the base 1. The base 74 moves to the side close to the telescopic rod 7 under the action of its own weight. The base 74 drives the drying part 9 to move to the side close to the telescopic rod 7, and then the card moves into the hollow frame 139 to separate, so that the transmission connection between the transmission part 13 and the drying part 9 is disconnected. At this time, the single-lens welding part 17 completes the heating and welding of the electrode plate and the welding strip, and the conveyor belt 4 is not in contact with the cleaning agent.

[0051] Specifically, the cleaning member 8 includes a container box 81, which is slidably connected to the inner sides of the two side plates 52, and the bottom of the container box 81 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 71. The bottom of the container box 81 is connected with a feed pipe 83 and a discharge pipe 82, and the feed pipe 83 and the discharge pipe 82 are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic rod 7. The drying member 9 includes two movable plates 91, which are slidably connected to the inner sides of the two side plates 52. The inner sides of the two movable plates 91 are rotatably connected with a lead screw 93, and the outer sides of the movable plates 91 are connected by threads. It is connected to a transverse plate 94, and a spring is fixed inside one end of each movable plate 91. A square column 92 is fixed to the other end of each spring. A longitudinal plate 95 is fixed to the other end of the two square columns 92. A wave-like groove is provided on the top of the transverse plate 94, and a wave-like plate is fixed on the side of the longitudinal plate 95 close to the transverse plate 94, and the wave-like groove and the wave-like plate are engaged with each other. A cleaning brush 96 is fixed to the top of the transverse plate 94 and the longitudinal plate 95. The inner side of the two movable plates 91 is rotatably connected to a circular shaft 98, and the non-woven fabric 97 is fixed to the outer side of the circular shaft 98.

[0052] In this embodiment, multiple groups of cleaning members 8 and drying members 9 can be provided, and the number of the two groups is the same. The stepper motor 2 drives the conveyor belt 4 to move, and heats and welds the next electrode plate and welding strip. During welding, the cleaning agent and the flux residue react to gradually melt the flux. When the conveyor belt 4 moves, the conveyor belt 4 and the cleaning agent move relative to each other, and the flux residue and the cleaning agent compound on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 are washed away, and the flux residue that has not been in contact with the cleaning agent is exposed to the inside of the cleaning agent again. As the stepper motor 2 drives the conveyor belt 4 to move, the area and time of contact between the flux residue and the cleaning agent are increased while ensuring the reaction time between the cleaning agent and the flux residue, thereby shortening the time required to eliminate the flux residue and improving the cleaning effect.

[0053] When the conveyor belt 4 enters the drying element 9, the conveyor belt 4 drives the main roller 3 to move. The main roller 3 drives the large gear 132 to rotate through the teeth, and the large gear 132 drives the triangular plate 133 to rotate through the rotating shaft 131. When one of the triangular plates 133 starts to rotate, it gradually releases the transmission from the link plate 134. At the same time, the other triangular plate 133 drives the link plate 134 to move along the limit rod 135. Each time the main roller 3 drives the electrode sheet 6 to move one electrode sheet 6 width through the conveyor belt 4, the main roller 3 drives the two triangular plates 133 to rotate four times through the large gear 132, so that the link plate 134 performs two reciprocating motions along the outer side of the limit rod 135.

[0054] The link plate 134 drives the toothed plate to move back and forth along the outer side of the slide rail 136 through the block and the hollow frame 139. When the toothed plate moves back and forth, it drives the pinion 138 to do forward and reverse rotation. The pinion 138 drives the lead screw 93 to follow the pinion 138 to do forward and reverse rotation. The lead screw 93 rotates forward and reverse to drive the transverse plate 94 to move back and forth. At the same time, when the lead screw 93 rotates forward, the transverse plate 94 squeezes the wave-shaped plate through the wave-shaped groove to drive the longitudinal plate 95 to squeeze the square column 92. When the lead screw 93 rotates reversely, the transverse plate 94 releases the longitudinal plate 95 The block squeezes the longitudinal plate 95 under the action of the spring to restore the longitudinal plate 95 to its original position. During this process, the transverse plate 94 and the longitudinal plate 95 drive the cleaning brush 96 to clean the detergent and the residual compound of detergent and flux on the surface of the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 moves to the top of the circular shaft 98, the screw 93 drives the circular shaft 98 to follow the screw 93 to make a reciprocating motion through the belt and two pulleys, so that the circular shaft 98 drives the non-woven fabric 97 to wipe the liquid on the surface of the conveyor belt 4, making its surface dry and clean.

[0055] Then the conveyor belt 4 enters the next cleaning piece 8 and the inner side of the drying piece 9 to remove the compound residue and clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4. The movement of the conveyor belt 4 in the cleaning agent accelerates the reaction rate of the flux residue and the cleaning agent, shortening the time required to eliminate the flux residue. The alignment of multiple drying pieces 9 for cleaning avoids excessive reduction of the reaction rate due to the compound of the flux residue and the cleaning agent. The reaction time is then distributed to each cleaning piece 8, so that large pieces of flux residue are eliminated.

[0056] Specifically, a welding strip pulling piece 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1, a feeding piece 16 is fixed to one side of the welding strip pulling piece 14, a loading robot 15 is fixed to the top of the feeding piece 16, a single-lens welding piece 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the loading robot 15, and a flip assembly 18 is fixed to the side of the loading robot 15 away from the feeding piece 16.

[0057] In this embodiment, the welding strip pulling piece 14 (which is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here) can pull the welding strip out to a specified length and then cut it according to production requirements. The loading robot 15 (which is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here) places the electrode sheet 6 on the top of the conveyor belt 4. The flipping component 18 (which is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here) can flip and detect the electrode sheet 6. The feeding piece 16 (which is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here) can load the loading robot 15.

[0058] Specifically, the manufacturing process involved in the multi-grid photovoltaic cell string welding equipment includes the following steps:

[0059] S1. The electrode sheet 6 is transported to the bottom of the loading robot 15 through the feeding piece 16, and then the loading robot 15 places the electrode sheet 6 on the top of the conveyor belt 4;

[0060] S2, the welding ribbon pulling member 14 pulls out the welding ribbon to the specified length according to production requirements and cuts it, and transports half of it to the top of the electrode sheet 6. The stepper motor 2 drives the electrode sheet 6 to move the position of one side of the electrode sheet 6 toward the single-lens welding part 17;

[0061] S3, the loading robot 15 places the last electrode sheet 6 on the top of the other half of the welding strip, and loads the material back and forth in sequence;

[0062] S4. While loading, when the electrode sheet 6 and the welding strip are transported to the bottom of the single-lens welding member 17, the single-lens welding member 17 heats and welds the electrode sheet 6 and the welding strip;

[0063] S5. When the surface of the conveyor belt 4 needs to be cleaned, the telescopic rod 7 is controlled to extend to clean the portion of the conveyor belt 4 located inside the outer assembly 5.

[0064] Working principle: Before using this device, the staff needs to pass the cleaning agent through the hydraulic pump and the feed pipe 83, and inject it into the inside of the holding box 81, align the liquid level with the bottom of the inclined surface of the holding box 81, and then connect the discharge pipe 82 to the waste liquid recovery equipment through the pipeline, and finally fix the vacuum cleaner to the interface at the bottom of the ash box 11, and start the vacuum cleaner. When the conveyor belt 4 moves to the top of the ash box 11, the metal debris and dust are cleaned from the surface of the conveyor belt 4 for daily cleaning. When the conveyor belt 4 needs to be cleaned, when the single-photo welding part 17 heats and welds the electrode plate and the welding strip, the staff controls the extension of the telescopic rod 7 to connect the transmission part 13 and the drying part 9 for transmission, and then the stepper motor 2 drives the conveyor belt 4 to move, and heats and welds the next electrode plate and welding strip. During welding, the cleaning agent and the flux residue react to gradually melt the flux. When the conveyor belt 4 moves, the conveyor belt 4 and the cleaning agent move relative to each other, and the conveyor belt 4. The flux residue and the compound of the detergent on the surface are washed away, and the flux residue that has not come into contact with the detergent is exposed to the inside of the detergent again. When the conveyor belt 4 enters the interior of the drying part 9, the conveyor belt 4 drives the main roller 3 to move, and the main roller 3 drives the large gear 132 to rotate through the teeth. The transverse plate 94 and the longitudinal plate 95 drive the cleaning brush 96 to clean the detergent and the detergent and flux residue compound on the surface of the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 moves to the top of the circular shaft 98, the circular shaft 98 drives the non-woven fabric 97 to wipe the liquid on the surface of the conveyor belt 4, and then the conveyor belt 4 enters the next cleaning part 8 and the inside of the drying part 9 to remove the compound residue and clean the surface of the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 is cleaned, when the electrode plate and the welding strip are heated and welded by the single-lens welding part 17, the staff controls the telescopic rod 7 to retract, so that the transmission connection between the transmission part 13 and the drying part 9 is disconnected. At this time, the conveyor belt 4 is not in contact with the detergent.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
