[0048] To better understand the embodiments of this application, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 10 The embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this application provides a wet drying apparatus 1 for solar cells, including a drying element 11, a heating element 12, and a pure water channel 13. The drying element 11 is hollow to form a drying tank 111 for accommodating solar cells 5. The heating element 12 includes a heating section 121 and a gas supply pipe 122. One end of the gas supply pipe 122 is connected to the outlet of the heating section 121, and the other end is connected to the drying tank 111 to transport gas from the heating section 121 to the drying tank 111. The pure water channel 13 is disposed on the side of the drying element 11 for recovering heat from the drying element 11.

[0050] The drying element 11 is hollow, that is, a cavity is formed inside the drying element 11, which constitutes a drying tank 111 for accommodating the solar cell 5.

[0051] The solar cell 5 can be stably arranged in the drying groove 111 by various fixing modes, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Specifically, in some embodiments, a groove is arranged on the inner wall of the drying groove 111, and the solar cell 5 is arranged in the groove by clamping to realize the fixed arrangement of the solar cell 5 in the drying groove 111. In other embodiments, a clamping piece is arranged in the drying groove 111, and the solar cell 5 is clamped and fixed in the clamping piece. The clamping piece can be a fixing piece such as a clamping jaw, or a magnetic piece or a vacuum suction piece. In still other embodiments, a cradle such as a flower basket is arranged in the drying groove 111, and the solar cell 5 is placed in the cradle to realize batch placing or taking of the solar cell 5, thereby improving the production efficiency of the solar cell wet drying device 1.

[0052] The heating part 121 is a component for heating the gas. By arranging one end of the gas conveying pipe 122 in communication with the gas outlet of the heating part 121 and the other end in communication with the drying groove 111, the gas heated by the heating part 121 can be introduced into the drying groove 111 to form a gas flow with a certain temperature in the drying groove 111, thereby realizing the drying function of the solar cell 5 in the drying groove 111.

[0053] The pure water channel 13 refers to a channel for the flow of pure water, which can be a square channel or a circular channel, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The pure water channel 13 is arranged on the side of the drying piece 11. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 The pure water channel 13 can be arranged on one or more sides of the drying piece 11, or on all four sides of the drying piece 11, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. It should be noted that the pure water channel 13 can be integrally arranged on the side wall of the drying piece 11, or can be arranged on a separate plate and attached to the side wall of the drying piece 11, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0054] In some embodiments, the drying piece 11 and / or the gas conveying pipe 122 are coated with a heat insulation material to reduce heat loss. In other embodiments, the gas conveying pipe 122 can be directly made of a material with low thermal conductivity to reduce heat loss.

[0055] By arranging the pure water channel 13 on the side of the drying piece 11, the heat on the surface of the drying piece 11 can be used to heat the pure water in the pure water channel 13, and the heated pure water can be used in the cleaning and texturing steps of the solar cell wet process, thereby realizing the function of heat recovery and improving the energy utilization rate of the solar cell wet drying device 1, thereby reducing the production cost of the solar cell. It should be noted that the heated pure water can also be used in other processes with temperature requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0056] As shown in Figure 7As shown in some embodiments, the pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner.

[0057] The pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner, that is, the pure water channel 13 is designed in a continuous "S" shape. By arranging the pure water channel 13 in a serpentine manner, the length of the pure water channel 13 can be extended, the residence time of the pure water in the pure water channel 13 can be increased, the heat recovery efficiency of the pure water can be significantly improved, and the energy utilization rate of the solar cell wet drying device 1 can be further improved.

[0058] As shown in some embodiments, the pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner. Figures 3 to 8 As shown in some embodiments, the pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner.

[0059] The pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner, that is, the pure water channel 13 is designed in a continuous "S" shape. By arranging the pure water channel 13 in a serpentine manner, the length of the pure water channel 13 can be extended, the residence time of the pure water in the pure water channel 13 can be increased, the heat recovery efficiency of the pure water can be significantly improved, and the energy utilization rate of the solar cell wet drying device 1 can be further improved.

[0060] In comparison, in some other embodiments, the pure water channel 13 is arranged on the outside of the drying piece 11 through the mounting plate 14. That is, the pure water channel 13 is composed of a channel in the mounting plate 14, so that different aperture and direction of the pure water channel 13 can be replaced, and the applicability of the solar cell wet drying device 1 can be improved. The mounting plate 14 is arranged on the outside of the drying piece 11, and the mounting plate 14 and the drying piece 11 can be connected by heat-conducting glue, or can be connected by bolts, clamps or other detachable ways.

[0061] As shown in some embodiments, the pure water channel 13 is arranged in a serpentine manner. Figure 1 、 2 As shown in some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a drainage piece 15 arranged at the lower part of the drying piece 11. The drainage piece 15 comprises a drainage groove 151 and a drainage pipe 152. The inner wall of the drainage groove 151 is arranged in an inclined downward manner. One end of the drainage groove 151 is arranged in communication with the drying groove 111, and the other end is arranged in communication with the drainage pipe 152. The size of the drainage groove 151 gradually decreases in the direction away from the drying groove 111.

[0062] The drainage member 15 is arranged at the lower part of the drying member 11, and is used for timely draining the liquid such as water and chemical reagent in the drying groove. The drainage member 15 comprises a drainage groove 151 and a drainage pipe 152, wherein the inner wall of the drainage groove 151 is arranged in a downward inclined manner, so as to ensure that the liquid can be naturally drained under the action of gravity, and improve the draining efficiency of the liquid.

[0063] The drainage groove 151 is arranged in communication with the drying groove 111 at one end, and is arranged in communication with the drainage pipe 152 at the other end, and the size of the drainage groove 151 gradually decreases in the direction away from the drying groove 111. That is, the drainage groove 151 is in a funnel shape, which is convenient for collecting the drained liquid into the drainage pipe 152, and realizes the recycling treatment of the liquid.

[0064] The drainage pipe 152 is arranged in communication with the small end of the drainage groove 151, and is used for collecting the liquid in the drainage groove 151, so as to prevent the residual chemical reagent from affecting the environment. The drainage pipe 152 and the small end of the drainage groove 151 can be connected in a detachable connection mode such as bolt connection and clamping connection, so as to facilitate maintenance and cleaning.

[0065] By arranging the drainage member 15, on the one hand, the liquid in the drying groove 111 can be timely drained, and the drying quality of the solar cell 5 is improved; on the other hand, the drainage member 15 is also a gas discharge channel in the drying groove 111, and the gas flows through the solar cell 5 and is discharged from the drainage member 15 to the drying groove 111, so as to realize the circulating flow of the hot air in the drying groove 111, and further improve the drying quality of the solar cell 5.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a gas circulation member 16, and the gas circulation member 16 comprises a gas-liquid separation part 161 and a gas return pipe 162. The gas-liquid separation part 161 is arranged in the drainage pipe 152, and comprises a drainage end 1611 and a gas discharge end 1612. The gas return pipe 162 is arranged in communication with the gas discharge end 1612 at one end, and is arranged in communication with the gas inlet of the heating member 12 at the other end.

[0067] The gas circulation member 16 is a gas recycling member of the solar cell wet drying device 1, and mainly comprises the gas-liquid separation part 161 and the gas return pipe 162. The gas-liquid separation part 161 is a member for separating the gas and the liquid in the drainage pipe 152, and discharges the liquid and the gas from the drainage end 1611 and the gas discharge end 1612 respectively, so as to realize the separation of the gas and the liquid. Specifically, the gas-liquid separation part 161 can be a member for separating the gas and the liquid by using gravity, or can be a member for separating the gas and the liquid by using centrifugal force, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0068] The back gas pipe 162 is arranged in communication with the exhaust end 1612 at one end and the gas inlet of the heating element 12 at the other end. By arranging the back gas pipe 162, the gas separated from the gas-liquid separation part 161 can be introduced back into the heating element 12. The gas is heated to a preset temperature in the heating element 12 and then flows back into the drying groove 111. In this way, the heat in the solar cell wet drying device 1 can be further recycled, the energy utilization rate is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

[0069] By arranging the gas circulation part 16, the gas separated from the drying groove 111 can be recycled, the circulation of the gas in the drying groove 11 is realized, and the residual heat of the gas can be reused. The energy utilization rate of the solar cell wet drying device 1 is further improved.

[0070] In some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a drying part arranged in the back gas pipe 162, which is used to remove the liquid in the backflow gas, and further improve the drying effect of the solar cell wet drying device 1.

[0071] As shown in Figure 1 and 2 In some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a valve 18 arranged at the gas inlet of the heating element 12, which is used to adjust the flow of the gas entering the heating element 12. Specifically, the valve 18 comprises a first valve 181 and a second valve 182. The first valve 181 is used to adjust the flow of the backflow gas in the back gas pipe 162, and the second valve 182 is used to adjust the flow of the additional gas, so as to ensure that the heating element 12 and the drying groove 111 have sufficient gas. For example, when the solar cell wet drying device 1 starts to work, the second valve 182 is opened to ensure sufficient gas flow in the heating element 12, and when the solar cell wet drying device 1 works stably, only the first valve 181 needs to be opened.

[0072] In some embodiments, the gas-liquid separation part 161 is a gas-permeable membrane arranged between the back gas pipe 162 and the drain pipe 152.

[0073] The gas-permeable membrane is a kind of selective permeation material, which can allow the passage of gas and can prevent the passage of liquid. The gas-permeable membrane is arranged between the back gas pipe 162 and the drain pipe 152. Specifically, the gas-permeable membrane is arranged on the inner side wall of the communication part of the drain pipe 152 and the back gas pipe 162. During the backflow of the gas, the gas is allowed to flow into the back gas pipe 162 and the liquid is prevented from flowing into the back gas pipe 162.

[0074] By arranging the gas-permeable membrane between the back gas pipe 162 and the drain pipe 152, the structure of the gas-liquid separation part 161 can be simplified.

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 and 2As shown, in some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a top cover 17 which is openably and closably arranged on the upper portion of the drying groove 111, and the gas conveying pipe 122 is arranged in communication with the heating portion 121 at one end and with the side surface of the drying member 11 at the other end.

[0076] The top cover 17 is openably and closably arranged on the upper portion of the drying groove 111. Specifically, in some embodiments, the top cover 17 is hingedly arranged on the upper side of the drying member 11, and the opening and closing of the drying groove 111 is realized by rotating the top cover 17 relative to the drying member 11. In other embodiments, the top cover 17 is slidingly arranged on the upper side of the drying member 11, and the opening and closing of the drying groove 111 is realized by moving the top cover 17 relative to the drying member 11. It should be noted that the top cover 17 can also be in other forms to realize the opening and closing of the drying groove 111, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. By arranging the top cover 17 which is openably and closably arranged on the upper portion of the drying groove 111, the opening of the drying groove 111 can be realized by using the top cover 17, which is convenient for the solar cell 5 to be put in or taken out. When the solar cell 5 is dried, the inside of the drying groove 111 can be in a closed state by closing the top cover 17, which can prevent heat from being lost due to the overflow of gas, and further improve the energy utilization rate of the solar cell wet drying device 1.

[0077] In some embodiments, the solar cell wet drying device 1 further comprises a locking member arranged on the top cover 17. The locking member can be a magnetic lock, a mechanical bolt, or an electronic lock, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. By arranging the locking member, the stable closing of the top cover 17 during the drying process can be ensured, and the pollution of the solar cell 5 or the loss of heat due to accidental opening can be prevented.

[0078] The gas conveying pipe 122 is arranged in communication with the heating portion 121 at one end and with the side surface of the drying member 11 at the other end. Specifically, the other end of the gas conveying pipe 122 can be arranged in communication with any side surface of the drying member 11, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Preferably, when the drying member 11 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the gas conveying pipe 122 is arranged in communication with the side surface in the width direction of the drying member 11. In this way, the pure water channel 13 can be arranged on the side surface in the length direction of the drying member 11, the contact area of the pure water channel 13 and the drying member 11 is increased, the heat collection effect is increased, and the pure water channel 13 can be avoided, thereby simplifying the structure of the solar cell wet drying device 1. It should be noted that when the four side surfaces of the drying member 11 are all provided with the pure water channel 13, the communication part of the gas conveying pipe 122 with the side surface of the drying member 11 needs to avoid the pure water channel.

[0079] The gas pipe 122 is arranged in communication with the heating part 121 at one end and the side of the drying part 11 at the other end, that is, the gas heated by the heating part 121 flows into the drying groove 111 from the side of the drying part 11 through the gas pipe 122. In this way, the gas in the drying groove 111 flows into the drying groove 111 from the side of the drying part 11 and then flows out from the bottom of the drainage part 15 after passing through the solar cell 5 in the drying groove 111, forming a flowing hot air in the drying groove 111, which can carry the liquid out of the drying groove 111 while drying the solar cell 5. In addition, the end of the gas pipe 122 away from the heating part 121 is arranged in communication with the side of the drying part 11, which can avoid affecting the opening and closing of the top cover 17 and the taking and placing of the solar cell 5 due to the communication between the gas pipe 122 and the top cover 17, and can also avoid the input position of the gas being too close to the discharge position due to the communication between the gas pipe 122 and the bottom of the drying part 11, which can cause the gas to be unable to effectively disperse to the upper region of the drying groove 111, thereby affecting the drying effect of the solar cell 5.

[0080] As shown in Figure 9 and 10 Another aspect of the present application provides a solar cell wet process machine, which comprises a solar cell wet drying device 1, a water supply device 2 and a solar cell wet process tank 4. The water supply device 2 is arranged in communication with the inlet end of the pure water channel 13 to provide pure water. The solar cell wet process tank 4 is arranged upstream of the solar cell wet drying device 1 and is arranged in communication with the outlet end of the pure water channel 13 to receive the heated pure water.

[0081] The water supply device 2 is arranged in communication with the inlet end of the pure water channel 13, and the solar cell wet process tank 4 is arranged in communication with the outlet end of the pure water channel 13. That is, the water supply device 2 and the solar cell wet process tank 4 are connected through the pure water channel 13, so that the pure water provided by the water supply device 2 flows through the pure water channel 13 first, is heated by the waste heat of the solar cell wet drying device 1 and then flows into the solar cell wet process tank 4 to adjust the temperature of the liquid in the solar cell wet process tank 4.

[0082] Specifically, in some embodiments, the solar cell wet process tank 4 comprises a silicon wafer cleaning tank for removing contaminants, oxide layers or residues on the surface of the silicon wafer. In order to improve the chemical activity of the cleaning liquid and thus improve the cleaning effect of the silicon wafer, the liquid in the silicon wafer cleaning tank has a temperature requirement. However, during use, the temperature of the liquid in the silicon wafer cleaning tank will decrease due to the taking of the silicon wafer and other factors. By arranging the outlet end of the pure water channel 13 in communication with the silicon wafer cleaning tank, heated pure water can be added to the silicon wafer cleaning tank to adjust the temperature of the silicon wafer cleaning tank and maintain it within a predetermined range.

[0083] In other embodiments, the solar cell wet process tank 4 also includes a texturing tank to form a textured surface on the silicon wafer, thereby reducing light reflection and improving light absorption efficiency. Similarly, by connecting the outlet end of the pure water channel 13 to the texturing tank, hot pure water can be added to the texturing tank to adjust its temperature and maintain it within a preset range.

[0084] It should be noted that the solar cell wet process tank 4 may also include other process tanks with temperature requirements in the solar wet process, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0085] The solar cell wet process machine of this application utilizes the heat from the solar cell wet drying device 1 to heat pure water, thereby recovering and utilizing the heat in the solar cell wet drying device 1, reducing the energy consumption of the solar cell wet process machine, and lowering production costs.

[0086] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, at least two sides of the drying element 11 are provided with pure water channels 13, and the pure water channels 13 on each side are connected in series; and / or the solar cell wet process machine includes at least two drying elements 11, and the pure water channels 13 of each drying element 11 are connected in series.

[0087] Specifically, in some embodiments, at least two sides of the drying element 11 are provided with pure water channels 13, and the pure water channels 13 on each side are connected in series. That is, pure water flows into the solar cell wet process tank 4 only after passing through the pure water channels 13 on each side in sequence. In this way, the flow distance of pure water can be extended, achieving efficient heating of pure water. In other embodiments, the solar cell wet process machine includes at least two drying elements 11, and the pure water channels 13 of each drying element 11 are connected in series. Similarly, this allows pure water to pass through the pure water channels 13 of each drying element 11 in sequence, improving the heating effect. In still other embodiments, the solar cell wet process machine includes multiple drying elements 11, and at least two sides of each drying element 11 are provided with pure water channels 13. Pure water flows through the pure water channels 13 on each side of the drying element 11 in sequence before flowing into the pure water channel 13 of the next drying element, ensuring the maximum flow distance of pure water and further improving the heating effect.

[0088] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the solar cell wet process machine also includes a heating device 3, one end of which is connected to the outlet end of the pure water channel 13, and the other end is connected to the solar cell wet process tank 4, for heating pure water.

[0089] The heating device 3 is in communication with the outlet end of the pure water channel 13 at one end and is in communication with the solar cell wet process tank 4 at the other end. In this way, the pure water provided by the water supply device 2 first passes through the pure water channel 13, is heated once by the waste heat of the solar cell wet drying device 1, and then flows into the heating device 3. The pure water is heated twice in the heating device 3 to further increase the temperature of the pure water. The pure water heated twice is introduced into the solar cell wet process tank 4 to adjust the temperature of the solar cell wet process tank 4. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the water supply device 2 and the heating device 3 are also directly connected by an additional pipeline to ensure that the pure water in the heating device 3 is supplied in time and in sufficient quantity, and to further ensure that sufficient hot water is provided for the solar cell wet process tank 4.

[0090] In some embodiments, the heating device 3 further comprises a temperature control member for adjusting the temperature of the pure water output by the heating device 3.

[0091] The temperature control member is a component for adjusting the temperature of the pure water output by the heating device 3, so that the temperature of the pure water flowing from the heating device 3 to the solar cell wet process tank 4 is maintained within a predetermined range, and the pure water in the solar cell wet process tank 4 is accurately adjusted to meet different process requirements.

[0092] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 10 In the drying process of the solar cell wet drying device 1, the water supply device 2 provides pure water to the pure water channel 13, so that the pure water is heated once by the waste heat outside the drying member 11 when flowing through the pure water channel 13 arranged outside the drying member 11. Subsequently, the pure water flows into the heating device 3, is heated twice to a predetermined temperature, and is then delivered to the solar cell wet process tank 4 to participate in the preparation process of the solar cell 5 raw material and / or semi-finished product. In this way, in the production process of the solar cell 5, the pure water can be preliminarily heated by the waste heat of the solar cell wet drying device 1, the heat in the solar cell wet drying device 1 is recycled and utilized, the energy consumption of the solar cell wet machine is reduced, and the production cost is reduced.

[0093] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist, they should be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0094] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
