Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon heterojunction solar cell production equipment, in particular to wet film drying equipment for silicon heterojunction solar cells. Background Art

[0002] Silicon heterojunction solar cells have gradually established a significant dominant position in the photovoltaic industry due to their advantages such as high conversion efficiency, low temperature coefficient, no LID and PID attenuation, etc. When preparing the pattern of the electroplated grid electrode of silicon heterojunction solar cells, it is necessary to prepare masks on both the front and back sides of the silicon cell using dry film and wet film ink lithography, where the wet film is coated on the cell using a screen printing process, and then dried in an oven or drying furnace for 15 minutes for preliminary curing, and then exposed and developed to obtain the pattern.

[0003] The existing method for drying wet film inks uses a tunnel oven or a drying furnace, which is characterized by rapid wafer production. However, the production equipment is huge in size. The equipment that meets the production capacity of 7,000 batteries per hour is more than 10 meters long, with a long process time and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to improve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model proposes a wet film drying device for silicon heterojunction solar cells.

[0005] According to the wet film drying device of the silicon heterojunction solar cell of the first aspect of the present utility model, it comprises:

[0006] Conveyor belts arranged in parallel are used to place battery cells, and a bearing is provided in the middle of the driving roller of the conveyor belts;

[0007] A wet film drying device, the wet film drying device is arranged closely below the conveyor belt on which the battery sheets are placed, and the surface of the wet film drying device is provided with grooves matching the conveyor belt;

[0008] A telescopic support column, wherein the telescopic support column has a telescopic rod, and the end of the telescopic rod is connected to the bearing through a bent rod, and is used to control the lifting and lowering of the conveyor belt;

[0009] At least three electric ejectors, which can pass through the upper surface of the wet film drying device and extend above the conveyor belt;

[0012] According to the wet film drying equipment for silicon heterojunction solar cells of the embodiment of the utility model, the conveyor belt is controlled to rise and fall by the telescopic support column, so that the battery cell can be transferred to the upper surface of the wet film drying device for heat drying. After the heat drying is completed, the battery cell can be lifted by the electric ejector. At the same time, the telescopic support column slowly rises to support and transfer the battery cell to the next process, thereby completing the wet film drying operation of the silicon heterojunction solar cell. The utility model has a simple structure, small size and low cost. Compared with a large tunnel furnace, the wet film drying time is reduced by 10% to 20%, the drying process is more stable and controllable, and the practicability is strong.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the depth of the groove is lower than the height of the conveyor belt lowered by the telescopic support column. When the telescopic support column is driven to lower the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt moves in the groove and will not drive the battery cell to continue to translate.

[0016] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the electric ejectors are distributed in a rectangular, annular or circular array, so that they are smoothly and evenly stressed when in contact with the battery cells, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation.

[0017] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, an infrared sensor is further included. The infrared sensors are arranged on both sides of the electric ejector. The infrared sensors are electrically connected to the controller to detect whether the battery cell is translated to above the electric ejector.

[0018] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a spacing between the infrared sensors is smaller than a width of a cell.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a heat insulation board is provided in the internal cavity of the wet film drying device to separate the upper heat and improve the service life of the controller and the power module.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the following description, or will be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a wet film drying device for a silicon heterojunction solar cell, which includes:

[0036] The conveyor belts 100 are arranged in parallel and are used to place the battery cells 500. A bearing 110 is provided in the middle of the driving roller of the conveyor belt 100. In this embodiment, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 100 is controlled to be adjustable within a range of 0 to 1 m / s.

[0037] A wet film drying device 200, which is arranged closely below the conveyor belt 100 on which the battery cells 500 are placed, and a groove 230 matching the conveyor belt 100 is arranged on the surface of the wet film drying device 200;

[0038] A telescopic support column 300, wherein the telescopic support column 300 has a telescopic rod 310, and the end of the telescopic rod 310 is connected to the bearing 110 through a bent rod, and is used to control the lifting and lowering of the conveyor belt 100;

[0039] At least three electric ejectors 400, the electric ejectors 400 can pass through the upper surface of the wet film drying device 200 and extend to above the conveyor belt 100;

[0040] A controller 700, wherein the controller 700 is disposed inside the wet film drying device 200, and the controller 700 is electrically connected to the wet film drying device 200, the telescopic support column 300, and the electric ejector 400;

[0041] A power module 800 is disposed inside the wet film drying device 200 , and the power module 800 is electrically connected to the controller 700 .

[0042] According to the wet film drying equipment for silicon heterojunction solar cells of the embodiment of the utility model, the conveyor belt is controlled to rise and fall by the telescopic support column, so that the battery cell can be transferred to the upper surface of the wet film drying device for heat drying. After the heat drying is completed, the battery cell can be lifted by the electric ejector. At the same time, the telescopic support column slowly rises to support and transfer the battery cell to the next process, thereby completing the wet film drying operation of the silicon heterojunction solar cell. The utility model has a simple structure, small size and low cost. Compared with a large tunnel furnace, the wet film drying time is reduced by 10% to 20%, the drying process is more stable and controllable, and the practicability is strong.

[0043] It should be noted that the depth of the groove 230 is lower than the height of the telescopic support column 300 to lower the conveyor belt 100. When the telescopic support column 300 is driven to lower the conveyor belt 100, the conveyor belt 100 moves in the groove 230 and will not drive the battery cell 500 to continue to translate.

[0044] It should be noted that the interior of the wet film drying device 200 is a cavity structure, and the upper surface of the wet film drying device 200 is a trough structure. An electric heating plate 210 is embedded in the trough.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the temperature control range of the electric heating plate 210 is 0-200° C., which is beneficial to improving the wet film drying efficiency of the battery cell.

[0046] It should be noted that the upper surface of the wet film drying device 200 and the electric heating plate 210 are both provided with through grooves, so that the electric ejector 400 can lift up the battery cell 500 when in operation, so as to separate it from the conveyor belt 100 .

[0047] It should be noted that the electric ejector pins 400 are distributed in a rectangular, annular or circular array, so that the electric ejector pins 400 can be subjected to a steady and uniform force when in contact with the battery cell 500, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, the battery cell 500 is transported forward to a certain position via the conveyor belt 100, and the telescopic support column 300 lowers the conveyor belt 100 to store it in the groove 230 of the wet film drying device 200, so that the battery cell 500 moves down to contact the wet film drying device 200, and the ink on the battery cell 500 is heated and dried by heat conduction. After the drying is completed, the electric ejector 400 in the wet film drying device 200 will push the battery cell 500 upward, and at the same time, the conveyor belt 100 will lift the battery cell 500 upward and transfer it directly to the next process. The process time of the wet film drying process performed by the equipment of this embodiment is 1 / 10~1 / 5 of that of the traditional tunnel drying furnace, and the size of the equipment is also reduced to 1 / 6.

The infrared sensors 600 are electrically connected to the controller 700 to facilitate the detection of whether the battery cell 500 is translated to above the electric ejector 400.

[0051] It should be noted that the spacing between the infrared sensors 600 is smaller than the width of the battery cell 500 .

[0052] Example 3

[0053] See also Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. A heat insulation plate 220 is provided in the internal cavity of the wet film drying device 200 to separate the upper heat and improve the service life of the controller 700 and the power module 800.
