Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cell wet process equipment, in particular to a wet process tank body upper pressing roller. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacture of crystalline silicon solar cells, the wet texturing process is to wet-etch the surface of the crystalline silicon wafer to form a surface velvet structure, reduce the reflectivity of the silicon wafer surface, and make the sunlight be emitted multiple times on the silicon wafer surface, thereby increasing the absorption of sunlight. The commonly used texturing method is to first etch the surface of the single-crystalline silicon wafer with alkaline solution to form a pyramid velvet structure, or to etch the surface of the multi-crystalline silicon wafer with acid to form a worm-like velvet structure.

[0003] At present, polycrystalline silicon solar cells use chain-type texturing equipment. Silicon wafers are transported by chain into the tank for cleaning and texturing. Since the silicon wafers are in a flat state on the chain conveyor equipment, an upper pressure roller is required to prevent the silicon wafers from floating during the processing.

[0004] The trough body pressure roller structure used in the prior art consists of a roller axis, a stop sleeve, a spur gear, a pressure roller, a movable roller positioning plate and a pressure roller sleeve. The movable roller positioning plate is used to limit the movable range of the pressure roller. The pressure roller contacts the product surface through the protruding arc structures at both ends to achieve the pressure effect, so that the product will not float during the processing process.

[0005] The material and weight of the pressure roller structure of the above-mentioned prior art easily cause scratches on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the overall comprehensive applicability and versatility are not high; and the pressure roller cover made of the existing material is too sensitive to environmental stress (chemical and mechanical effects) when used in a long-term high-temperature environment, is easy to deform, and has low mechanical rigidity, and has poor ability to recover after deformation, and is easy to loosen and scratch the product, affecting product efficiency and pass rate. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a wet tank body upper pressing roller, comprising an upper supporting wheel, a supporting seat 1 and a supporting seat 2 respectively arranged at the axial ends of the upper supporting wheel, a plurality of upper pressing wheels axially spaced and movably sleeved on the upper supporting wheel, and an upper pressing positioning sleeve fixedly sleeved on the upper supporting wheel and used for limiting the positions of the two ends of the upper pressing wheel; each of the upper pressing wheels is axially distributed and radially sleeved with at least two upper pressing roller sleeves;

[0007] The radial outer ring of the upper pressure wheel is provided with a rolling groove, the radial inner ring of the upper pressure roller sleeve is provided with a ball groove and a ball is arranged in the ball groove, and the upper pressure roller sleeve is rotatably sleeved in the rolling groove of the upper pressure wheel through the ball arranged in the ball groove;

[0008] The upper pressure roller sleeve comprises a sleeve body with an inner ring made of hard plastic material, and a silicone layer compounded on the radial outer ring of the sleeve body.

[0009] Among them, the upper support wheel is provided with a positioning blind hole, and the upper pressure positioning sleeve is radially provided with a spring positioning pin corresponding to the positioning blind hole. The spring positioning pin cooperates with the positioning blind hole to realize the rapid disassembly and assembly of the upper pressure positioning sleeve.

[0010] Wherein, both radial ends of the upper pressing wheel are provided with slots, and the upper pressing positioning sleeve is radially provided with teeth corresponding to the slots, so that the limiting of both ends of the upper pressing wheel is achieved through the cooperation of the slots and the teeth.

[0011] There is a distance a between the axial end surface of the latch tooth and the axial bottom surface of the latch groove.

[0012] There is a distance b between the radial side surface of the latch tooth and the radial side surface of the latch groove.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the upper pressure roller provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. It changes the conventional mode of the upper roller driving the upper pressure roller sleeve to roll in contact with the upper surface of the silicon wafer. The upper pressure roller sleeve is radially sleeved in the rolling groove of the upper pressure wheel through a ball structure, so that the upper pressure roller sleeve and the upper pressure wheel can rotate relative to each other to achieve rolling contact between the upper pressure roller sleeve and the upper surface of the silicon wafer, thereby eliminating the need for external power to rotate the upper support wheel and improving the synchronization of the rolling contact between the upper pressure roller sleeve and the silicon wafer;

[0015] 2. The wheel cover body of the upper pressure roller cover is made of hard plastic material with excellent acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and a layer of silicone layer with excellent acid and alkali corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high temperature resistance is compounded on the surface. The silicone layer material is soft and not easy to scratch the product, thereby improving the service life and product qualification rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
