Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of screen printing, and specifically relates to a screen plate component and battery printing equipment. Background Art

[0002] The principle of screen printing for solar cells is to use the basic principle that the mesh holes of the graphic part of the screen are permeable to ink, while the mesh holes of the non-graphic part are not permeable to ink. When printing, pour ink on one end of the screen, use a scraper to apply a certain pressure on the ink part of the screen, and move toward the other end of the screen at the same time. The ink is squeezed from the mesh holes of the graphic part to the substrate by the scraper during movement, forming a printed pattern, that is, the battery grid line. The core auxiliary material of screen printing is the screen for printing electrodes. Long-term printing of the screen will cause the tension to decrease, the printed pattern to expand outward, and it will not overlap with the SE laser groove. SE refers to high-concentration doping at the contact part and vicinity of the metal grid line and the silicon wafer, resulting in EL offset. EL refers to electroluminescent defects, which directly affect the yield rate of the cell and the life of the screen, and seriously restrict the control and development of the manufacturing cost of solar cells. Therefore, improving the outward expansion of the screen pattern is very important to improving the life of the screen.

[0003] At present, the improvement of external expansion is mainly to control the total length of the incoming material to be 50μm lower than the SE laser groove, and the total length of the printing after going online is about 20μm lower than the SE laser groove. With long-term printing, the total length of the printed graphics gradually expands to the same as the average of the SE laser groove. The subsequent expansion makes the total length of the printed graphics greater than the total length of the SE laser groove. The adjustment of printing parameters is invalid offline. The total length of the incoming material is controlled. When the incoming material is small, the total length of the printing will be lower than the total length of the SE laser groove when going online. A higher spacing is required. Too high spacing will accelerate the external expansion of the graphics, especially in the middle of the graphics. Too high spacing also increases the risk of explosion and printing abnormalities. After going online, the spacing is controlled. During the increase of the total length of the graphics on the line, the spacing between the screen and the printing table is gradually pressed down to reduce the deformation of the screen and slow down the speed of the external expansion of the graphics. However, after going online, the spacing is gradually pressed down. With the long-term printing tension, the tension gradually decreases. Too low spacing will cause the screen rebound speed in the printing area to be too slow, resulting in abnormal thickening of the printed graphics. Cutting too low spacing will cause poor shaping.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new screen assembly and battery printing equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a screen plate component and battery printing equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a screen assembly, which includes: a screen body and a mounting unit; wherein a printing area is provided on the screen body, the mounting unit is mounted on the screen body, and the mounting unit is located outside the printing area.

[0007] Specifically, the screen body is installed on the screen frame.

[0008] Specifically, the mounting unit is located on the printing surface of the screen body.

[0009] Specifically, the mounting unit includes: at least two mounting tapes; the two mounting tapes are respectively located on two sides of the printing area.

[0010] Specifically, the distance between the mounting tape and the nearest printed pattern in the printing area is 250 microns to 350 microns.

[0011] Specifically, the length of the mounting tape is the total length of the printed pattern.

[0012] Specifically, the width of the mounting tape is 3 mm to 7 mm, and the thickness of the mounting tape is 50 μm to 70 μm.

[0013] Specifically, the mounting tape is Yinlong tape.

[0014] Specifically, the printed pattern includes: a plurality of grid lines arranged in parallel.

[0015] On the other hand, the utility model provides a battery printing device, which includes: the above-mentioned screen assembly; wherein the screen assembly is installed on a machine platform to print corresponding graphics on a substrate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the utility model provides protection by arranging mounting units on both sides of the printing area. During the printing process, the mounting units on both sides are stretched so that the tension becomes relatively larger and the deformation is smaller. Since there are high supports from the mounting units on both sides, a smaller spacing can be achieved when setting the plate spacing, thereby further reducing the deformation. The outward expansion of the screen can be reduced to increase the life of the screen, while reducing the EL deviation caused by the outward expansion during the printing process, and there is more room for parameter adjustment during the printing process.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a screen assembly, which includes: a screen body 1 and a mounting unit 2; wherein a printing area 11 is provided on the screen body 1, and the mounting unit 2 is mounted on the screen body 1, and the mounting unit 2 is located outside the printing area 11.

[0027] In this embodiment, mounting units 2 are provided on both sides of the printing area 11 for protection. During the printing process, the mounting units 2 on both sides are stretched so that the tension becomes relatively larger and the deformation is smaller. Since there are high supports of the mounting units 2 on both sides, a smaller spacing can be achieved when setting the plate spacing, thereby further reducing the deformation. The outward expansion of the screen can be reduced to increase the life of the screen, while reducing the EL deviation caused by the outward expansion during the printing process, and there is more room for parameter adjustment during the printing process.

[0028] In order to be able to install the screen body 1 , the screen body 1 is installed on the screen frame 3 .

[0029] In order to print patterns on the substrate, the mounting unit 2 is located on the printing surface of the screen body 1 .

[0030] As an optional implementation of the mounting unit 2 , the mounting unit 2 includes: at least two mounting tapes; the two mounting tapes are respectively located on two sides of the printing area 11 .

[0031] Specifically, two mounting tapes are provided, and the two mounting tapes are respectively located at two sides of the printing area 11 .

[0032] In order to solve the problem that the two sides of the screen body 1 are subjected to force for a long time, resulting in low tension on both sides, the distance between the mounting tape and the nearest printed pattern in the printing area 11 is 250 microns to 350 microns.

[0033] Specifically, the distance between the mounting tape and the nearest printed pattern in the printing area 11 is 300 micrometers.

[0034] Specifically, the length of the mounting tape is the total length of the printed pattern.

[0035] In order to reduce deformation, the width of the mounting tape is 3 mm to 7 mm, and the thickness of the mounting tape is 50 μm to 70 μm.

[0036] Specifically, the width of the mounting tape is 5 mm, and the thickness of the mounting tape is 60 μm.

[0037] As an optional implementation of the mounting tape, the mounting tape adopts Yinlong tape.

[0038] Specifically, the printed pattern includes: a plurality of grid lines 111 arranged in parallel.

[0039] Two edge grid lines 111 are arranged on the printing surface of the screen version body 1. The distance between one silver dragon tape and the edge grid line 111 is 300 microns, and the distance between the other silver dragon tape and the edge grid line 111 is 300 microns. A 60-micron thick silver dragon tape is pasted along the length direction parallel to the grid line 111. The length of the silver dragon tape is the total length of the printed pattern. The width of the silver dragon tape is 5mm. The distance between the silver dragon tape and the screen version provides tension support during the printing process, which significantly reduces the outward expansion of the screen version. The outward expansion problem is mainly caused by the long-term stress on both sides of the screen version body 1, resulting in low tension on both sides. Therefore, it is considered to paste silver dragon tape on both sides of the printing area 11 for protection. During the printing process, the tension becomes relatively large due to the stretching of the silver dragon tape on both sides, and the deformation is smaller. Because there is high support from the silver dragon tape on both sides, a smaller spacing can be achieved when setting the plate spacing, thereby further reducing the deformation.

[0040] Specifically, the printing surface refers to the side of the screen body 1 that contacts the silicon wafer during the printing process.

[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , paste a 60 micron thick silver dragon tape parallel to the grid line 111 at a distance of 300 microns from the edge of the printed grid line 111, and use the same home network version 1 to verify the total length before going online. The total length changes with the life span as shown in the following figure Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown.

[0042] Specifically, PT refers to the total length of the graph.

[0043] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a battery printing device, which includes: a screen assembly as provided in embodiment 1; wherein the screen assembly is installed on a machine platform to print corresponding graphics on a substrate.

[0044] In summary, the utility model provides protection by arranging mounting units on both sides of the printing area. During the printing process, the mounting units on both sides are stretched to make the tension relatively larger and the deformation smaller. Since there are high supports from the mounting units on both sides, a smaller spacing can be achieved when setting the plate spacing to further reduce the deformation. The outward expansion of the screen can be reduced to increase the life of the screen, while reducing the EL deviation caused by the outward expansion during the printing process, and there is more room for parameter adjustment during the printing process.
