Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaics, in particular to a positioning connector. Background Art

[0002] In the existing photovoltaic module production process, the battery cells are connected by welding strips to form a battery string.

[0035] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the positioning connector 10, the positioning connector 10 will be introduced in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. For example, please refer to FIG. 1, a positioning connector 10 includes a base layer 100 and an adhesive layer 200.

The base layer 100 is bent so that the first surface of the base layer 100 is convex. The second surface of the base layer 100 is concave.

[0036] In some embodiments, the base layer 100 is in a long strip structure, and the base layer 100 is bent toward the middle at two sides along its length direction.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 1, the base layer 100 is curved. The adhesive layer 200 is not shown in Fig. 1. It should be noted that when the base layer 100 is curved, it can be a single arch structure or multiple wavy structures.

[0038] In some embodiments, the base layer 100 is bent at an angle of 10° to 90°. For example, in one specific example, the base layer 100 is bent at an angle of 10°; in another specific example, the base layer 100 is bent at an angle of 90°; it is not difficult to understand that in other specific examples, the base layer 100 may be bent at an angle of 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80° or other parameter values.

[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a positioning connector 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the base layer 100 is bent in a V-shape. The adhesive layer 200 is not shown in Fig. 2.

[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base layer 100 is 30 μm to 200 μm. For example, in one specific example, the thickness of the base layer 100 is 30 μm; in another specific example, the thickness of the base layer 100 is 200 μm; it is not difficult to understand that in other specific examples, the thickness of the base layer 100 can also be 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 190 μm or other parameter values.

[0044] In some of the embodiments, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a partial structural schematic diagram of the positioning connector 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the number of the adhesive layer 200 is multiple. The multiple adhesive layers 200 are spaced and distributed on the first surface along the length direction of the base layer 100. The number of adhesive layers 200 can be adaptively set according to the length of the base layer 100 and the length of the adhesive layer 200. Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the positioning connector 10 of another embodiment of the utility model.

[0045] In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive layer 200 along the length direction of the base layer 100 is 1 mm to 5 mm. For example, in one specific example, the length of the adhesive layer 200 along the length direction of the base layer 100 is 1 mm; in another specific example, the length of the adhesive layer 200 along the length direction of the base layer 100 is 5 mm; it is not difficult to understand that in other specific examples, the length of the adhesive layer 200 along the length direction of the base layer 100 can also be 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm or other parameter values.

[0046] In some embodiments, the width of the adhesive layer 200 along the width direction of the base layer 100 is equal to the width of the base layer 100 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent adhesive layers 200 is 5 μm to 10 μm. For example, in one specific example, the spacing between adjacent adhesive layers 200 is 5 μm; in another specific example, the spacing between adjacent adhesive layers 200 is 10 μm; it is not difficult to understand that in other specific examples, the spacing between adjacent adhesive layers 200 can also be 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm or other parameter values.

[0048] In the present application, a spacing of 5 μm to 10 μm is set between adjacent adhesive layers 200. The setting of this spacing can ensure that there is a certain amount of accommodation space for bubbles generated by adjacent adhesive layers 200. Even if bubbles are generated on the adhesive layer 200, part of the gas can flow into the gap between the adjacent adhesive layers 200. During lamination, no lamination bubbles will be generated on the adhesive layer 200.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the present application, when it comes to numerical intervals (i.e., numerical ranges), unless otherwise specified, the distribution of optional numerical values ​​within the numerical interval is deemed to be continuous, and includes the two numerical endpoints (i.e., the minimum value and the maximum value) of the numerical interval, and each numerical value between the two numerical endpoints. Unless otherwise specified, when the numerical interval only refers to integers within the numerical interval, it includes the two endpoint integers of the numerical range, and each integer between the two endpoints, which is equivalent to directly listing each integer. When multiple numerical ranges are provided to describe features or characteristics, these numerical ranges can be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges disclosed in the present application should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges included therein. The "numerical value" in the numerical interval can be any quantitative value, such as a number, a percentage, a ratio, etc. "Numerical interval" allows for broadly including quantitative intervals such as percentage intervals, ratio intervals, and ratio intervals.

[0050] In some of the embodiments, it should be noted that the adhesive layer 200 may be in a regular long strip structure or in a parallelogram shape.

[0051] In some embodiments, the positioning connector 10 further includes a reel 300. The periphery of the reel 300 is inwardly concave, so that it can adapt to the convex structure of the first surface of the base layer 100, which facilitates the winding of the base layer 100. After being processed and produced, the base layer 100 and the adhesive layer 200 are wound on the reel 300.

[0052] In some of the embodiments, the length of the base layer 100 of the present application can be set according to actual needs.

[0053] It should be noted that the positioning connector 10 in the present application can be used in the lamination positioning process of the photovoltaic module, and can also be used as a common positioning tape.

[0054] To summarize, the positioning connector 10 is configured to bend the base layer 100 so that the first surface of the base layer 100 is convex, the second surface of the base layer 100 is concave, and the adhesive layer 200 on the first surface is also convex. When the positioning connector 10 is pasted on the laminate, the convex adhesive layer 200 is gradually smoothed, thereby avoiding the generation of lamination bubbles to a great extent, increasing the yield rate of photovoltaic modules, and improving the reliability and aesthetics of photovoltaic modules.

[0055] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0057] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
