Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plating technology, specifically to a plating apparatus for irregularly shaped workpieces used in photovoltaic component processing. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, in the field of photovoltaic component processing, plating equipment is used to coat the surface of irregularly shaped workpieces. Through specific processes, a thin film layer with functions such as conductivity, corrosion resistance, and light transmittance is formed on the surface of the workpiece to improve the performance and service life of photovoltaic components. Its working principle usually involves material deposition technology. Electroplating, vapor deposition, sputtering and other methods can be selected according to different plating requirements to achieve uniform plating on the complex surface of irregularly shaped workpieces. It is one of the key equipment to ensure product quality in photovoltaic component production.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent for a photovoltaic solder strip tinning device, application publication number CN117721403B. This patent includes a molten tin storage mechanism, a tinning mechanism mounted on the molten tin storage mechanism, and a leak-proof mechanism mounted on the tinning mechanism. As the motor starts and runs, the shaft at the inner end of the motor drives the track to rotate. At this time, the transmission rollers held by multiple external frames and three auxiliary rollers continuously deliver copper strips into the inner cavity of the tin guide chamber. Guided by the auxiliary shaft, the actively delivered copper strips are fully coated by the molten tin in the inner cavity of the tin guide chamber. After tinning, the copper strips move into the slots inside the cooling cover. Multiple turbine blades driven by the external transmission track and the motor blow external airflow onto the tinned copper strips at intervals to cool them down, thus ensuring that the copper strips can be tinned in short intervals and preventing vibration during the cooling and solidification process.

[0004] When performing coating processing on photovoltaic components, especially on irregularly shaped workpieces, specialized coating processing equipment for irregularly shaped workpieces is used. The existing technology has the following problems: due to the lack of a structure for periodically treating the bubbles generated during the coating process, it is impossible to periodically treat the bubbles generated during the coating process, which reduces the flexibility of the coating process. Furthermore, it lacks a structure for pre-treating impurities in the liquid during the coating process, which makes it impossible to pre-treat impurities in the liquid while the coating process is being performed, thus reducing the stability of the coating process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a coating apparatus for irregularly shaped workpieces used in photovoltaic component processing. It features a structure for periodically treating bubbles generated during the coating process, thus improving the flexibility of the coating process. Furthermore, it has a structure for preliminarily treating impurities in the liquid during the coating process, allowing for simultaneous plating and improving stability during the coating process.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a coating device for irregularly shaped workpieces used in photovoltaic component processing, comprising an electroplating tank, a cleaning mechanism, and a processing mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is located at the top inside the electroplating tank, and the processing mechanism is located at the bottom of the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a loading and unloading component, a transmission component, a power storage component, a positioning component, and a clamping component. The loading and unloading component is located at the top inside the electroplating tank, the transmission component is located at the top inside the loading and unloading component, the power storage component is located inside the loading and unloading component, the positioning component is located at the bottom of the transmission component, and the clamping component is located inside the positioning component. The processing mechanism includes a discharge component, a diversion component, a moving component, and a filtering component. The discharge component is located at the bottom of the positioning component, the diversion component is located at the bottom of the discharge component, the moving component is located at the bottom of the positioning component, and the filtering component is located at the bottom of the moving component.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a cleaning mechanism and a processing mechanism, the electroplating tank is an existing electroplating equipment, which can perform plating processing on irregularly shaped photovoltaic components. The cleaning mechanism can use its own periodic vibration to remove the air bubbles generated during the plating process of irregularly shaped photovoltaic components. The processing mechanism can treat the impurities generated during the plating process.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the loading and unloading assembly includes a positioning frame, a partition plate, and a positioning inner frame; the positioning frame is snapped onto the top of the inner side of the electroplating tank; the partition plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame; the positioning inner frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame; and the two sides of the partition plate are fixedly connected to the positioning inner frame.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning frame can be used in conjunction with the partition plate and the positioning inner frame by setting the loading and unloading components. The positioning frame is limited on the electroplating tank, which allows the positioning frame to support the partition plate and the positioning inner frame. The entire structure of the cleaning mechanism supported by the positioning inner frame is suspended in the electroplating tank. The partition plate can divide the space inside the positioning frame into two, so that the positioning inner frame can limit up to two transmission components, increasing the number of single plating processes.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the transmission component includes an assembly frame, a transmission motor and a vibration spring plate, the assembly frame is snapped into the inner side of the positioning inner frame, the transmission motor is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly frame, and the vibration spring plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the bottom of the transmission motor.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly frame can be used in conjunction with the drive motor and the vibration spring plate by setting the transmission component. The assembly frame is limited within the positioning inner frame, which can support the drive motor. The drive motor can drive the vibration spring plate to rotate axially, so that the vibration spring plate can move circumferentially along the inner wall of the energy storage component.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the energy storage component includes a connecting ring plate, a transmission ring plate, and an energy storage vortex plate; the connecting ring plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning inner frame; the transmission ring plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring plate; the energy storage vortex plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the transmission ring plate; and the inner side of the energy storage vortex plate is in contact with the surface of the vibration spring plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a power storage component, the connecting ring plate can cooperate with the transmission ring plate and the power storage vortex plate, so that the connecting ring plate limits the transmission ring plate. This allows the transmission ring plate to limit the power storage vortex plate on the moving path of the vibration spring plate. Thus, the vibration spring plate can use its own vortex path to store power as it moves. When it moves to the thickest part and then to the thinnest part of the power storage vortex plate, it instantly releases its own power to generate vibration and transmits the vibration to the positioning component.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the positioning component includes a positioning top plate, a transmission rod, and a limiting frame; the positioning top plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vibration spring plate; the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning top plate; and the limiting frame is slidably connected to the bottom of the transmission rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning top plate can be used in conjunction with the transmission rod and the limiting frame by setting the positioning component. As the vibration spring plate rotates, the positioning top plate can drive the transmission rod and the limiting frame to rotate together, so that the clamping component can drive the irregular photovoltaic component to rotate together, increasing the stability during the plating process. At the same time, the vibration can be transmitted to the limiting frame through the transmission rod, so that the limiting frame can evenly transmit the vibration to each clamping component, thereby realizing the transmission of vibration to the irregular photovoltaic component, removing the air bubbles generated on its surface during the plating process, and the limiting frame can limit up to six clamping components.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that: the clamping assembly includes a spring clamping plate, a vertical spring and a clamping plate, the spring clamping plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting frame, the vertical spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the limiting frame near the spring clamping plate, the clamping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical spring, and the bottom of the spring clamping plate is close to the top of the clamping plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a clamping assembly, the spring clamping plate can cooperate with the vertical spring and the clamping plate. The spring clamping plate uses its own elasticity to push the surface of the irregular photovoltaic component, thereby achieving the effect of adapting to the shape of the irregular photovoltaic component and limiting its position. The vertical spring can drive the clamping plate to push the irregular photovoltaic component towards the vertical spring using its own elasticity, thus adapting to the shape of the irregular photovoltaic component and limiting the irregular photovoltaic component in multiple directions.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: the emission assembly includes an emission cover, an interception net, and a resin cylinder, the emission cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting frame, the interception net is fixedly connected to the bottom of the emission cover, and the resin cylinder is snapped into the bottom of the interception net.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up the discharge component, the discharge cover can be used in conjunction with the interception net and the resin cylinder. The discharge cover limits the interception net and the resin cylinder. The resin cylinder is an existing fluid conveying device containing resin that filters impurities in the plating solution. It can filter toxic and harmful substances in the plating solution. The interception net can limit the resin inside the resin cylinder. The discharge cover can send the filtered plating solution back to the electroplating tank.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that: the drainage assembly includes a drainage box, a delivery port and an inlet inclined tube, the drainage box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the resin cylinder, the delivery port is opened at the bottom of the drainage box, and the inlet inclined tube is connected to the surface of the drainage box.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the diversion box can cooperate with the delivery port and the inlet inclined tube by setting the diversion component. As the resin cylinder and the discharge cover move, the diversion box can drive the inlet inclined tube to move together. When moving, the inlet inclined tube can use inertia to deliver the plating solution through the delivery port into the resin cylinder, thereby providing the resin cylinder with the required filtered plating solution.

[0024] The present invention is further configured such that: the moving component includes a follower rotating rod, a positioning disk, and a flow-following plate; the follower rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting frame; the positioning disk is fixedly connected to the bottom of the follower rotating rod; and the flow-following plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning disk.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a moving component, the follower rotating rod can limit the positioning disk and drive the positioning disk to move along the rotation of the limiting frame. When the follower plate moves in the plating solution, the positioning disk will rotate along the limiting frame with the follower rotating rod due to the resistance of the water, thereby driving the filter component to rotate.

[0026] The present invention is further configured such that: the filter assembly includes an assembly sleeve, a connecting screw and an activated carbon rod, the assembly sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flow-following plate, the connecting screw is threadedly connected to the inner side of the assembly sleeve, and the activated carbon rod is snapped into the inner side of the assembly sleeve.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly sleeve can be used in conjunction with the connecting screw and activated carbon rod by setting the filter components. The assembly sleeve and the connecting screw limit the activated carbon rod, which can accelerate the contact efficiency with the impurities to be filtered in the plating solution when the activated carbon rod rotates with the assembly sleeve at the positioning plate. This allows for rapid preliminary filtration of impurities in the plating solution. Furthermore, the assembly sleeve can be disassembled and assembled by the connecting screw, making it easy to replace the activated carbon rod.

[0028] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a coating device for irregularly shaped workpieces used in photovoltaic component processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] This device for coating irregularly shaped workpieces for photovoltaic component processing includes a cleaning mechanism. The loading / unloading assembly can cooperate with a transmission assembly, a power storage assembly, a positioning assembly, and a clamping assembly. The loading / unloading assembly temporarily limits the transmission assembly, allowing simultaneous limiting of two transmission assemblies and facilitating their removal from the loading / unloading assembly. The transmission assembly limits the power storage assembly and the positioning assembly, and can rotate within the power storage assembly, utilizing elastic force to achieve periodic vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the positioning assembly while simultaneously driving its rotation. The positioning assembly limits up to six clamping assemblies while rotating them together, transmitting vibration to the clamping assemblies. The clamping assemblies clamp the irregularly shaped photovoltaic components and transmit vibration to them, eliminating air bubbles generated during coating and improving the flexibility of coating irregularly shaped photovoltaic components.

[0031] This device for coating irregularly shaped workpieces for photovoltaic component processing includes a processing mechanism. The discharge component can be used in conjunction with a flow-guiding component, a moving component, and a filtering component. The discharge component supports and limits the flow-guiding component, allowing it to move circumferentially along with the cleaning mechanism. During this circumferential movement, inertia allows the flow-guiding component to collect the plating solution and send it into the discharge component. Toxic and harmful substances are filtered out using resin before being discharged. The moving component moves along with the cleaning mechanism and utilizes the resistance and flow of the plating solution to drive the filtering component to rotate, increasing the frequency of contact between the filtering component and impurities in the plating solution. This improves the efficiency of impurity filtration, increases the purity of the plating solution, and enhances the stability of the coating process for irregularly shaped photovoltaic components.

By setting the cleaning mechanism 2, the loading / unloading assembly 21 can cooperate with the transmission assembly 22, the power storage assembly 23, the positioning assembly 24, and the clamping assembly 25 to perform plating on the transmission assembly 22. Temporary limiting can simultaneously limit two transmission components 22 and facilitate their removal and installation from the loading and unloading component 21. The transmission component 22 can limit the energy storage component 23 and the positioning component 24. It can rotate within the energy storage component 23 and use elastic force to store energy, achieving periodic vibration. While driving the positioning component 24 to rotate, it transmits the vibration to the positioning component 24. The positioning component 24 can limit up to six clamping components 25 and drive them to rotate together, while transmitting the vibration to the clamping components 25. The clamping components 25 can clamp irregularly shaped photovoltaic components and transmit the vibration to the irregularly shaped photovoltaic components, eliminating bubbles generated during the plating of irregularly shaped photovoltaic components and improving the flexibility of plating irregularly shaped photovoltaic components.

[0048] The loading and unloading assembly 21 includes a positioning frame 211, a partition plate 212, and a positioning inner frame 213. The positioning frame 211 is snapped onto the top of the inner side of the electroplating tank 1. The partition plate 212 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame 211, and the positioning inner frame 213 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning frame 211. The two sides of the partition plate 212 are fixedly connected to the positioning inner frame 213. By setting the loading and unloading assembly 21, the positioning frame 211 can be used in conjunction with the partition plate 212 and the positioning inner frame 213. By limiting the positioning frame 211 on the electroplating tank 1, the positioning frame 211 can support the partition plate 212 and the positioning inner frame 213, allowing the cleaning mechanism 2 supported by the positioning inner frame 213 to be suspended in the electroplating tank 1. The partition plate 212 can divide the space inside the positioning frame 211 into two, thereby allowing the positioning inner frame 213 to limit up to two transmission components 22, increasing the number of single plating processes.

[0049] The transmission component 22 includes an assembly frame 221, a transmission motor 222, and a vibration spring plate 223. The assembly frame 221 is snapped into the inner side of the positioning inner frame 213. The transmission motor 222 is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly frame 221. The vibration spring plate 223 is fixedly connected to the output end of the bottom of the transmission motor 222. By setting the transmission component 22, the assembly frame 221 can be used in conjunction with the transmission motor 222 and the vibration spring plate 223. The assembly frame 221 is limited within the positioning inner frame 213, which can support the transmission motor 222. The transmission motor 222 can drive the vibration spring plate 223 to rotate axially, thereby allowing the vibration spring plate 223 to move circumferentially along the inner wall of the energy storage component 23.

[0050] The energy storage component 23 includes a connecting ring plate 231, a transmission ring plate 232, and an energy storage vortex plate 233. The connecting ring plate 231 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning inner frame 213, the transmission ring plate 232 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring plate 231, and the energy storage vortex plate 233 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the transmission ring plate 232. The inner side of the energy storage vortex plate 233 is in contact with the surface of the vibration spring plate 223. By setting the energy storage component 23, the connecting ring plate 231 can connect with the transmission ring plate 232. 2. In conjunction with the energy storage vortex plate 233, the connecting ring plate 231 limits the transmission ring plate 232, thereby allowing the transmission ring plate 232 to limit the energy storage vortex plate 233 on the moving path of the vibration spring plate 223. Thus, the vibration spring plate 223 can use its own vortex path to store energy as it moves, and when it moves from the thickest part to the thinnest part of the energy storage vortex plate 233, it instantly releases its own elasticity to generate vibration and transmits the vibration to the positioning component 24.

[0051] The positioning component 24 includes a positioning top plate 241, a transmission rod 242, and a limiting frame 243. The positioning top plate 241 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vibration spring plate 223, the transmission rod 242 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning top plate 241, and the limiting frame 243 is slidably connected to the bottom of the transmission rod 242. By setting the positioning component 24, the positioning top plate 241 can be used in conjunction with the transmission rod 242 and the limiting frame 243. As the vibration spring plate 223 rotates, the positioning top plate 241 can drive the transmission rod 242 and the limiting frame 243 to rotate together, so that the clamping component 25 can drive the irregularly shaped photovoltaic component to rotate together, increasing the stability during plating. At the same time, the vibration can be transmitted to the limiting frame 243 through the transmission rod 242, so that the limiting frame 243 can evenly transmit the vibration to each clamping component 25, thereby realizing the transmission of vibration to the irregularly shaped photovoltaic component, removing the air bubbles generated on its surface during plating, and the limiting frame 243 can limit up to six clamping components 25.

[0052] The clamping assembly 25 includes a spring clamping plate 251, a vertical spring 252, and a clamping plate 253.

The clamping plate 253 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical spring 252. The bottom of the spring clamping plate 251 is close to the top of the clamping plate 253. By setting the clamping assembly 25, the spring clamping plate 251 can cooperate with the vertical spring 252 and the clamping plate 253. The spring clamping plate 251 uses its own elasticity to push the surface of the irregular photovoltaic component, thereby adapting to the shape of the irregular photovoltaic component and limiting it. The vertical spring 252 can drive the clamping plate 253 to push the irregular photovoltaic component towards the vertical spring 252 using its own elasticity, thereby adapting to the shape of the irregular photovoltaic component and limiting it in multiple directions.

[0053] The discharge assembly 31 includes a discharge cover 311, an intercepting net 312, and a resin cylinder 313. The discharge cover 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting frame 243, the intercepting net 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge cover 311, and the resin cylinder 313 is snapped into the bottom of the intercepting net 312. By setting the discharge assembly 31, the discharge cover 311 can be used in conjunction with the intercepting net 312 and the resin cylinder 313. The discharge cover 311 limits the intercepting net 312 and the resin cylinder 313. The resin cylinder 313 is an existing fluid conveying device containing resin that filters impurities in the plating solution. It can filter toxic and harmful substances in the plating solution. The intercepting net 312 can limit the resin inside the resin cylinder 313. The discharge cover 311 can send the filtered plating solution back to the electroplating tank 1.

[0054] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the electroplating tank 1 and the cleaning mechanism 2 are connected to an external PLC controller, powered on, and started. The irregularly shaped photovoltaic component is placed in the clamping plate 253 and the spring clamping plate 251 until the clamping plate 253 clamps the irregularly shaped photovoltaic component with the elastic force of the vertical spring 252 and the spring clamping plate 251 itself. Then, the assembly frame 221 is installed in the positioning inner frame 213, and then the positioning frame 211 is installed in the electroplating tank 1 until the irregularly shaped photovoltaic component is immersed in the plating solution. Then, the drive motor 222 will drive the vibrating spring plate 223 to rotate. 223 will move circumferentially along the guide of the energy storage vortex plate 233, and gradually store energy before releasing the elastic force to collide with the energy storage vortex plate 233 and generate vibration. The vibration is transmitted to the positioning top plate 241. The positioning top plate 241 will rotate with the rotation of the vibration spring plate 223, which will drive the transmission rod 242 to rotate the limiting frame 243 and the clamping assembly 25 connected to it together, and transmit the vibration to it. The clamping assembly 25 will drive the irregular photovoltaic component to rotate together, and when bubbles are generated during its plating, the vibration is transmitted to the irregular photovoltaic component to remove the bubbles.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] refer to Figure 8-12 A coating apparatus for irregularly shaped workpieces used in photovoltaic component processing also includes a processing mechanism 3. The processing mechanism 3 includes a discharge component 31, a diversion component 32, a moving component 33, and a filtering component 34.

The component 32 is supported and limited, and can move circumferentially together with the rotation of the cleaning mechanism 2. During circumferential movement, the inertia of the diversion component 32 is used to collect the plating solution and send it into the discharge component 31. The resin is used to filter out toxic and harmful substances before discharge. The moving component 33 can move together with the cleaning mechanism 2 and use the resistance and flow of the plating solution to drive the filter component 34 to rotate, increasing the frequency of contact between the filter component 34 and impurities in the plating solution, thereby improving the efficiency of filtering impurities in the plating solution, improving the purity of the plating solution, and improving the stability of the plating process for irregularly shaped photovoltaic components.

[0057] The drainage component 32 includes a drainage box 321, a delivery port 322, and an inlet inclined tube 323. The drainage box 321 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the resin cylinder 313.

By setting the drainage component 32, the drainage box 321 can cooperate with the delivery port 322 and the inlet inclined tube 323. As the resin cylinder 313 and the discharge cover 311 move, the drainage box 321 can drive the inlet inclined tube 323 to move together. When moving, the inlet inclined tube 323 can use inertia to transport the plating solution through the delivery port 322 into the resin cylinder 313, thereby providing the resin cylinder 313 with the required filtered plating solution.

[0058] The moving component 33 includes a follower rod 331, a positioning disk 332, and a flow-following plate 333. The follower rod 331 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting frame 243, the positioning disk 332 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the follower rod 331, and the flow-following plate 333 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning disk 332. By setting the moving component 33, the follower rod 331 can limit the positioning disk 332 and drive the positioning disk 332 to move with the rotation of the limiting frame 243. When the flow-following plate 333 moves in the plating solution, the positioning disk 332 will rotate along the limiting frame 243 with the follower rod 331 due to the resistance of the water, thereby driving the filter component 34 to rotate.

[0059] The filter assembly 34 includes an assembly sleeve 341, a connecting screw 342, and an activated carbon rod 343. The assembly sleeve 341 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flow-following plate 333, the connecting screw 342 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the assembly sleeve 341, and the activated carbon rod 343 is snapped into the inner side of the assembly sleeve 341. By setting the filter assembly 34, the assembly sleeve 341 can be used in conjunction with the connecting screw 342 and the activated carbon rod 343. By limiting the activated carbon rod 343 with the assembly sleeve 341 and the connecting screw 342, the activated carbon rod 343 can accelerate the contact efficiency with the impurities to be filtered in the plating solution when the activated carbon rod 343 rotates with the assembly sleeve 341 at the positioning plate 332, thereby quickly performing preliminary filtration of impurities in the plating solution. Furthermore, the assembly sleeve 341 can be disassembled and assembled through the connecting screw 342, making it easy to replace the activated carbon rod 343.

[0060] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, when preliminary filtration of the plating solution is required, the discharge cover 311 and the follower rotating rod 331 will move circumferentially with the rotation of the cleaning mechanism 2. When the discharge cover 311 moves, it will drive the resin cylinder 313 and the entire structure of the diversion assembly 32 to move together. When the inlet inclined tube 323 moves, it will use inertia to introduce the plating solution into the diversion box 321 and deliver it into the resin cylinder 313 from the delivery port 322. The resin cylinder 313 will then remove toxic and harmful substances in the plating solution through the resin inside. After initial filtration, the solution is discharged back to the electroplating tank 1 through the discharge cover 311. The follower rod 331 will move the positioning plate 332 and the flow-following plate 333 together with the filter assembly 34. The flow-following plate 333 will rotate the positioning plate 332 due to the resistance and flow of the plating solution. The assembly sleeve 341 will rotate the activated carbon rod 343 together with the connecting screw 342 driven by the positioning plate 332. The activated carbon rod 343 will come into contact with the plating solution during movement and filter the impurities in the plating solution until the initial filtration of the plating solution is completed.
