Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of EVA film processing, in particular to an EVA film cutting device for photovoltaic components. Background Art

[0002] EVA film is an important material in photovoltaic modules. Its full name is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film. It is usually used as a packaging material for photovoltaic cells, bonding the cells to glass or backplanes to protect the cells, isolate moisture and air, and improve the durability of the modules and the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0003] The overall area of ​​the produced EVA film will be larger than the area of ​​the battery cell of the photovoltaic module. Therefore, before the EVA film is attached to the surface of the battery cell, it needs to be cut according to the area of ​​the battery cell. Special cutting equipment is usually used to cut the EVA film. These devices can be mechanical cutters, laser cutters or die cutters. Different cutting equipment is suitable for cutting needs of different sizes and shapes, as well as different production efficiency and precision requirements. Generally, mechanical cutters are used more. Mechanical cutters are a traditional cutting method that uses a knife for cutting. It can be manually operated, semi-automatic or fully automatic. Mechanical cutters are suitable for mass production and can quickly cut straight lines or simple shapes.

[0004] However, mechanical cutters on the market can generally only cut EVA films, but the shape of the cells of some photovoltaic modules will change with the shape of the photovoltaic panel, which results in that the shapes of some EVA films are not conventional rectangles, which is difficult for general mechanical cutters to do. Even if the laser cutter can cut the EVA film into a set shape according to the set shape, the cost of the laser cutter is high. At the same time, the principle of the laser cutter is to use a high-temperature laser to cut the material, but the EVA film is not resistant to high temperature and flame retardant. The edges of the EVA film cut by laser are prone to deformation and burning, and the operator needs to manually cut the edges later, which not only reduces the cutting efficiency, but also increases the labor intensity of the operator. In view of this, an EVA film cutting device for photovoltaic modules is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0029] When using the utility model, the angle of the cutter 10 is adjusted according to the shape of the EVA film to be cut, the output motor 9 on the front side of the top of the fixed disk 8 is turned on, and the output shaft 14 at the output end of the output motor 9 drives the driving gear 15 to rotate, and the driven gear 17 meshed on the outer side behind the driving gear 15 rotates together with the driving gear 15, and the driven gear 17 takes the rotating shaft 16 as the base point to drive the cutter 10 below it to change its angle, and stops the output motor 9 after adjusting to the set position, and then turns on the stepper motor 3, and the stepper motor 3 can drive the threaded rod 13 to rotate inside the hollow seat 2, and the moving block 4 on the outer side of the threaded rod 13 drives the connecting plate 5 and the top plate 6 to move just above the operating table 1, so as to cut according to the set length of the EVA film.

The air outlet plate 19 is hollow inside and has a plurality of through holes at the bottom. The wind generated by the compression of the fan 11 is sprayed onto the top of the EVA film on the operating table 1 through the through holes. The wind can not only blow the debris remaining when cutting the EVA film to the discharge troughs 12 on the left and right sides of the operating table 1, but also suppress the top of the EVA film to be cut to a certain extent to avoid the deviation of the EVA film during cutting. After cutting, the EVA film on the front side of the operating table 1 is removed, the pneumatic rod 7 retracts upward, and the operator pulls the EVA film behind the cutter 10 forward until the top of the EVA film is flush with the top of the front side of the operating table 1, and the remaining operations are repeated as above.
