Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic cell manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method and system for etching the film layer of curved solar cells. Background Technology
[0002] The design of curved solar cells is of great significance, as it allows solar cells to be used not only on planar structures, but also better integrated into car roofs, building facades, and various irregularly shaped lighting devices, thus enabling more flexible applications than planar solar cells.
[0003] The etching method for curved solar cells is the same as that for planar solar cells, both requiring laser equipment for etching to obtain series-connected sub-cells to create a high-efficiency cell structure. Traditional solar laser etching equipment is mostly planar etching. Existing equipment for etching curved structures uses five-axis CNC machine tools, which, due to their large size, high inertia, and slow rotation speed, are difficult to use for high-speed and high-precision processing. To improve accuracy, current technology uses two-dimensional galvanometer etching to meet the requirements of relatively complex curved surface etching. However, for etching large-area curved solar cells, selecting a large-format field lens results in a longer focal length, leading to relatively poor etching accuracy at the edges of the surface, making it difficult to meet high-precision etching requirements.

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for etching a curved solar cell film layer, comprising: Step 11: Obtain a three-dimensional scan image of the first coated curved solar cell placed on the positioning platform of the curved solar cell film etching system; Step 12: Map the first scribing surface onto the three-dimensional scanned image to obtain the first target three-dimensional image; Step 13: Etch the first coated curved solar cell according to the first galvanometer speed, the first number of etch lines and the first target three-dimensional image of the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 of the curved solar cell film etching system to obtain the first etched curved solar cell. Step 14: Coat the first etched curved surface solar cell with a film to obtain a second coated curved surface solar cell; Step 15: Obtain the position of the second etched line based on the position offset and rotation of the first etched line, and map the surface of the second etched line onto the corresponding position of the first target 3D image to obtain the second target 3D image; Step 16: Etch the second coated curved solar cell according to the second mirror speed, the second number of scribing lines and the second target three-dimensional image of the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 of the curved solar cell film etching system to obtain the second etched curved solar cell. Step 17: Coat the second etched curved surface solar cell with a film to obtain the third coated curved surface solar cell; Step 18: Obtain the position of the third etched line based on the position offset and rotation of the second etched line, and map the surface of the third etched line onto the corresponding position of the second target 3D image to obtain the third target 3D image; Step 19: Etch the third coated curved solar cell according to the third mirror speed, the number of third scribe lines and the third target three-dimensional image of the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 of the curved solar cell film etching system to obtain the third etched curved solar cell. The etching processes of the first, second, and third etched curved surface solar cells employ an infinite field of view processing function to achieve integrated processing of the solar cells.
[0020] In this embodiment, the curved solar cell film etching system can operate using either flying marking or offline single-area marking methods. The number of etching layers is the same as the number of film layers in the solar cell, i.e., 3 layers. The curved solar cell 5 during the first etching is itself a cell with one layer of film coating, i.e., the first coated curved solar cell. The etching process for each layer of a three-layer coated curved solar cell mainly includes: (1) Generating virtual images The curved solar cell 5 is placed on the positioning platform 4 of the curved solar cell film etching system using a clamping machine. The curved solar cell 5 includes a first coated curved solar cell, a second coated curved solar cell, and a third coated curved solar cell. The first coated curved solar cell is a curved solar cell 5 with one layer of film; the second coated curved solar cell is a curved solar cell 5 with two layers of film and one etching operation between the two layers; the third coated curved solar cell is a curved solar cell 5 with three layers of film and two etching operations between the three layers. The visual scanning device 1 of the curved solar cell film etching system scans the first coated curved solar cell, transmits the scanned data to the control system, and the control system generates a three-dimensional scan image corresponding to the curved solar cell 5. The three-dimensional scan image is a proportional virtual image of the curved solar cell 5.
[0021] (2) Mapping preset scribing lines The control system uses processing software to map preset etching lines onto a 3D image, forming a 3D virtual image with etching lines, namely, a first target 3D image, a second target 3D image, and a third target 3D image. The preset etching lines are straight lines, namely the first etching line, the second etching line, and the third etching line. The mapped 3D etching lines are curves that conform to the curved battery cell 5, namely, the first 3D etching line, the second 3D etching line, and the third 3D etching line. The first 3D etching line, the second 3D etching line, and the third 3D etching line are parallel curves with a narrow distance between them. The first etching line is the first etching line that needs to be etched onto the curved battery cell 5, that is, the etching line etched on the first coated curved battery cell. The second etching line is the second etching line that needs to be etched onto the curved battery cell 5, that is, the etching line etched on the second coated curved battery cell. The position of the second etching line needs to be determined based on the position of the first etching line. The third etching line is the third etching line that needs to be etched onto the curved battery cell 5, that is, the etching line etched on the third coated curved battery cell. The position of the third etching line needs to be determined based on the position of the second etching line.
[0022] (3) Perform the etching action.
[0023] The control system determines the actual position on the curved battery cell 5 where the preset scribing lines should be processed based on the target 3D image. Before the etching process begins, the galvanometer speed in the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 and the number of preset scribing lines on one galvanometer plane can be obtained. Based on the galvanometer speed and the number of preset scribing lines, the required moving speed of the positioning platform 4, i.e., the platform speed, can be determined. The curved battery cell 5 moves according to the positioning platform 4. The galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 etches the positions on the curved battery cell 5 that should be etched using a laser 6, completing the etching action. Specifically, the laser 6 reflects the laser light to the beam expander 8 through a reflector 7, and the beam expander 8 transmits the laser light to the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2, completing one etching operation. The etching process uses a dynamic focusing galvanometer for scanning etching, and simultaneously, the positioning platform 4 moves along with the etching action (movement direction as shown in the image). Figure 1 As shown by the arrow in the image, the entire battery area is processed using the infinite field of view processing function to obtain the corresponding etched curved battery cell.
[0024] (4) Perform the film coating operation The curved solar cell 5 with three-layer coating is a complete large-area cell before processing. After each etching, it becomes a series of sub-cells connected in series. After coating again, it is restored to a complete large-area cell. This process is repeated until three etching operations are completed, resulting in the final series of sub-cells. The coating process is completed outside the system.
[0025] The three-layer etching process described above can all achieve unlimited field of view processing, that is, realize seamless processing of ultra-large-format solar cells, and complete the etching of film layers through an integrated processing process.
[0026] This technical solution achieves high-precision etching of large-area multilayer curved solar cells. It solves the problem of multi-axis collaborative processing required to complete the etching of curved surfaces by using a galvanometer dynamic focusing device and a vision scanning device, and also greatly simplifies the structure of the equipment.

Indicates the laser incident angle; Indicates the camera's receiving angle; Step 113: Obtain a three-dimensional scan image based on the horizontal coordinate data, the vertical coordinate data, and the vertical axis data.
[0028] In this embodiment, in step 111, the visual scanning device 1 scans the curved battery cell 5 line by line using a camera or other sensing device; a corresponding coordinate system is established based on the positioning platform 4, and during each line scan, the sensing device can extract the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the surface of the curved battery cell 5, thereby generating two-dimensional grid data of the horizontal and vertical coordinates.
[0029] In step 112, based on the principle of laser triangulation, using the formula h= The vertical coordinate data corresponding to each point of the curved battery cell 5 are obtained, where d represents the fixed baseline distance formed by the laser source and the camera (usually 50). 200mm); Indicates the laser incident angle (e.g., 30°); Indicates the camera's receiving angle (e.g., 45°).
[0030] In step 113, the virtual coordinates of the three-dimensional scan image are obtained based on the horizontal, vertical and vertical coordinates. The virtual coordinates are obtained by multiplying the actual coordinates by a scaling factor, which can be selected according to the actual situation of the system. Then, the specific position of each point after scaling can be known through the virtual coordinates of each point, thereby generating the three-dimensional scan image.
[0031] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 12, mapping the first scribing surface onto the three-dimensional scanned image to obtain the first target three-dimensional image, may include: Step 121: Perform a geometric transformation on the first etch line to obtain a three-dimensional first etch line; the three-dimensional first etch line is a curve; Step 122: Map the three-dimensional first etched line onto the three-dimensional scanned image to obtain the first target three-dimensional image.
[0032] In this embodiment, surface mapping essentially involves fitting a planar pattern onto a spatial curved surface through geometric transformation, and using dynamic focusing to achieve precise marking. The etched planar pattern of the first coated curved battery cell is the first etched line (straight line). After parametric modeling and mapping the first etched line, it is fitted onto the spatial curved surface, and the three-dimensional virtual image becomes an image with the three-dimensional first etched line, i.e., the first target three-dimensional image.

[0034] In this embodiment, the galvanometer speed can be determined by multiple factors such as the laser absorptivity, thermal conductivity, and etching depth of the curved solar cell 5. The galvanometer speed includes a first galvanometer speed, a second galvanometer speed, and a third galvanometer speed. The first galvanometer speed is the moving speed of the scanning galvanometer 31 in the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 during the first etching. The first galvanometer speed used for the first etching can be set to 1000. 8000mm / s. The number of graduations includes the number of first graduations, second graduations, and third graduations. The number of first graduations, second graduations, and third graduations must be equal; for example, the number of first graduations can be set to 15. According to... and It can be deduced Thus, the first platform speed is obtained; the automatic adjustment system positioning platform 4 moves according to the first platform speed, and the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 performs an etching action on the first coated curved surface battery cell placed on the positioning platform 4; wherein...

[0036] In this embodiment, after the first etching of the first etched curved surface solar cell is completed, the first etched curved surface solar cell will change from a complete solar cell to a series of sub-cells. In order to perform a second etching, the series of sub-cells need to be coated to make them into a complete second coated curved surface solar cell.
[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 15, obtaining the position of the second etched line based on the position offset and rotation of the first etched line, and mapping the surface of the second etched line onto the corresponding position of the first target three-dimensional image to obtain the second target three-dimensional image, may include: Step 151: The position of the first etched line is detected by the visual positioning device 3 of the curved solar cell film etching system to obtain the position information of the first etched line; Step 152: Obtain the first rotation angle based on the position information of the preset calibration line and the first etched line; Step 153: Rotate the first scribe line according to the first rotation angle to obtain the first rotation position information; Step 154: Obtain the first offset based on the preset calibration line and the first rotation position information; Step 155: Obtain the position of the second scribe line based on the first rotation angle and the first offset. Step 156: Perform a geometric transformation on the second etched line to obtain a three-dimensional second etched line; the three-dimensional second etched line is a curve; Step 157: Map the three-dimensional second scribed surface onto the first target three-dimensional image to obtain the second target three-dimensional image.
[0038] In this embodiment, the position of the first etched line is obtained by the visual positioning device 3, and the starting point coordinates of the first etched line are obtained. and endpoint coordinates That is, the position information of the first etched line; the starting point coordinates of the preset calibration line. The coordinates of the endpoint of the preset calibration line are ;according to The angle between the preset calibration line and the first etched line is obtained, i.e., the first rotation angle. Rotation is performed based on the first rotation angle; the visual positioning device 3 can obtain the first rotation position information after rotation, and offset information can be obtained from the first rotation position information. For example, the offset is calculated by selecting the starting point coordinates of the first rotation position information and the starting point coordinates of the preset calibration line, and then... The first offset is obtained; where, Indicates the first rotation angle; The x-coordinate represents the starting point coordinates of the preset calibration coordinates; The ordinate represents the starting point coordinates of the preset calibration coordinates; The x-coordinate represents the coordinates of the endpoint of the preset calibration coordinates; The ordinate represents the coordinates of the endpoint of the preset calibration coordinates; The x-coordinate of the starting point of the first etch line; The ordinate of the starting point of the first etch line; The x-coordinate of the end point of the first etch line; The vertical coordinate of the endpoint of the first etch line; The x-coordinate of the starting point of the first rotation position information; This represents the first offset. After parametrically modeling and mapping the second etched line, it is fitted onto a spatial surface, thus the first target 3D image becomes an image with the 3D second etched line, i.e., the second target 3D image.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second galvanometer speed is the moving speed of the scanning galvanometer 31 in the galvanometer dynamic focusing device 2 during the second etching. Since the second etching requires two passes, i.e., the depth of the second etching is the depth of two layers of film, the second galvanometer speed can be set to half of the normal speed. For the etching process of a curved battery cell 5, the number of the three etching processes needs to be equal. If the number of the first etching lines is set to 15, the number of the second etching lines also needs to be set to 15.
