[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the welding device 100 includes a scribing and coating mechanism 110, a swinging mechanism 120, a swinging belt mechanism 130 and a welding mechanism 140 which are arranged in sequence;

[0052] The scribing and coating mechanism 110 includes a first coating part for coating the first insulating glue on the battery original sheet 200 and a scribing part for cutting the battery original sheet 200 into a plurality of battery sheets 211;

[0053] The sheet swinging mechanism 120 is used to arrange the multiple battery sheets 211 in a whole page;

[0054] The belt swing mechanism 130 is used to place multiple welding belts and multiple bus bars on the battery cell bottom plate 500 at one time, and the welding belts and bus bars are placed corresponding to the welding point positions of the battery cell 211;

[0055] The welding mechanism 140 is used to weld the welding strips, bus bars and welding points.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 The battery cell 200 is a large complete sheet battery. In the actual production process, it needs to be divided and disconnected into a plurality of battery cells 211 , and then these battery cells 211 are transported to be laid out and welded to form a battery string array 210 .

[0057] Before dividing the battery cell 200, the first coating unit is used to apply insulating glue to the non-welding area on the battery cell 200 to avoid short circuits during subsequent welding. Specifically, the insulating glue is UV insulating glue, which is irradiated with UV light after coating to solidify the UV insulating glue. Specifically, the first coating unit can be a screen printer 1100, which is used to print and apply insulating glue directly on the battery cell 200.

[0058] After the insulating glue is cured, the battery cell 200 is transported to the dicing unit, which can use lasers to cut and slice the battery cell 211 horizontally and vertically. It can be understood that the dicing blade (laser head) is installed on the translation mechanism, which can be translated horizontally, vertically and vertically, and cooperate with the conveying device to divide the battery cell 200 into multiple regular battery cells 211. Specifically, the dicing unit can use a conventional dicing machine.

[0059] The swing mechanism 120 is used to layout multiple battery cells 211. The swing mechanism 120 arranges multiple battery cells 211 in sequence on the battery cell base plate 500 according to the layout design position of the battery cells 211. Among them, the battery cell base plate 500 is used to carry the battery cells 211. The swing mechanism 120 can be a robotic arm, which layouts the battery cells 211 by grabbing the robotic arm, or it can be a telescopic mechanism with a track, which telescopes and grabs the battery cells 211 on a fixed track to layout, or it can be an XYZ three-axis movable type, and the swing mechanism 120 can slide in the XYZ three directions to move the battery cells 211, and then return to arrange the battery cells 211.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the swing mechanism 120 includes two robotic arms, and the ends of the robotic arms have multiple suction cups, which can absorb the battery cells 211 so as to move the battery cells 211 to a designated position for arrangement. In one embodiment, the two robotic arms are arranged opposite to each other, and a main conveyor belt 170 is arranged between the two robotic arms for conveying the battery cell base plate 500. Auxiliary conveyor belts 180 are arranged on opposite sides of the two robotic arms for conveying the diced battery cells 211 to the grasping range of the robotic arms. The two robotic arms respectively transport the battery cells 211 from the auxiliary conveyor belts 180 on both sides to the battery cell base plate 500 for arrangement. After each row is arranged, the main conveyor belt 170 conveys the length of a row of battery cells 211 forward, and then continues to arrange the next row of battery cells 211.

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the swinging belt mechanism 130 then places multiple bus bars on the battery cell 211, and then places multiple welding strips on the battery cell 211. The swinging belt mechanism 130 can grab multiple bus bars at a time. After these bus bars have been arranged in the corresponding intervals and sequence, they are grabbed by the swinging belt mechanism 130 at one time and then placed on the battery cell bottom plate 500. The position of the bus bars can be placed well, and the bus bars correspond to the positions of the welding strip points on the battery cell 211, so that the bus bars and the welding points can be welded together in the subsequent welding. Correspondingly, the welding strips are also made in the same way. The swinging machine can grab multiple welding strips at a time. After these welding strips have been arranged in the corresponding intervals and sequence, they are grabbed by the swinging belt mechanism 130 and then placed on the battery cell bottom plate 500. The position of the welding strips can be placed well, and the welding strips correspond to the positions of the welding strip points on the battery cell 211, so that the welding strips can be welded together in the subsequent welding.

[0062] After the battery cells 211, bus bars and welding strips are arranged, they are continuously transported to the welding mechanism 140, where the welding strips, bus bars and welding points of the battery cells 211 are welded together to complete the welding of the battery string array 210. The welding mechanism 140 may be a laser welding device or a welding robot.

[0065] The battery cell base plate 500 is an insulating material, and is mostly made of EVA / POE or other adhesive films that become sticky after heating. The heating mechanism is arranged between the swinging mechanism 120 and the swinging belt mechanism 130. When the battery cell 211 completes the swinging, the battery cell base plate 500 carrying the battery cell 211 is heated by the heating mechanism, and the battery cell base plate 500 becomes sticky, so that the battery cell 211 is adhered to the battery cell base plate 500, so as to avoid the position of the battery cell 211 sliding and offsetting from the position of the welding point during the process of conveying the battery cell base plate 500 to the next process, thereby affecting the quality of the final product.

Specifically, the portion of the flexible layer 142 corresponding to the battery cell bottom plate 500 can produce a certain deformation under the action of the battery cell bottom plate 500, and the other portion of the flexible layer 142 can fit the bearing surface.

[0091] The battery cell loading mechanism 190 can use a robotic arm to carry out loading, or can use other existing loading machines to load.

[0092] The battery cell loading mechanism 190 usually includes a plurality of battery cells 200 for storing stacked layers, and then the battery cells 200 are transported and delivered to the dicing and coating mechanism 110 in sequence by a transporting and transferring mechanism on the battery cell loading mechanism 190 .

[0093] Embodiment 8

[0094] Reference Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the welding device 100 further includes a laser marking machine 160 for marking the battery string array 210 .

[0095] The laser marking machine 160 can mark the serial number on the battery string array 210, such as the production information of the battery string array 210, to facilitate the subsequent tracking of the product.

[0096] The laser marker 160 may be disposed below the assembly line 141 of the conveying device. When the battery string array 210 passes above the laser marker 160 , the laser marker 160 performs laser marking on the battery string array 210 .

[0097] The laser marking position is usually at the edge of the battery string array 210 to avoid blocking the photovoltaic module. In one embodiment, the laser marking position is at a corner edge of the battery string array 210, and the edge is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying device. The marking is performed while conveying forward, thereby forming a series of serial numbers 142 that are consistent with the conveying direction and the edge.
