DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0034] Solar cells usually use silicon photovoltaic cells based on silicon. The preparation process of solar cells usually includes production processes such as texturing, diffusion, laser scanning, etching, coating, printing, sintering, and testing. Some of the above production processes need to be carried out in a specific reactor.

[0035] For example, in the production process of solar cells, the laser scribing process is used to split the silicon wafer into two parts, and the silicon wafer will have a cross section. If the silicon wafer with a cross section is directly soldered, the conversion efficiency of the solar cell will be reduced. Therefore, in order to ensure the conversion efficiency of solar cells, the industry usually performs passivation coating on the cross section of the silicon wafer. Passivation coating refers to the deposition equipment forming a passivation film on the surface of the solar cell by thin film deposition, thereby reducing the recombination of minority carriers and reducing the reflectivity of the light on the surface of the solar cell, thereby ensuring the conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

[0036] In order to improve the processing efficiency of products, the industry currently usually uses boats to carry a large number of products, and uses a boat moving mechanism to transport the boat and the products to the reactor for processing.

[0037] In order to ensure the accuracy of placing and picking up products and the boat moving mechanism when taking the boat, the position of the boat needs to be adjusted in advance to accurately position the boat. However, since the boat carries a large number of products, the weight of the boat is very large. Therefore, how to position the boat with a large load becomes a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0038] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a positioning mechanism for a boat, which is configured to position the boat. The positioning mechanism of the boat includes: a base, at least one bearing assembly, at least one first positioning assembly, at least one second positioning assembly, at least one unlocking assembly and at least one locking assembly. The base is placed on the ground or a frame, and the bearing assembly is arranged on the base and slidably connected with the base, and is configured to carry the boat. The first positioning assembly is arranged on the base, and is configured to provide a first driving force along a first direction to drive the boat to move along the first direction, wherein the first direction is the same as the extension direction of the boat. The second positioning assembly is arranged on the base, and is configured to provide a second driving force along a second direction to drive the boat to move along the second direction, wherein the second direction intersects with the extension direction of the boat. The unlocking assembly is fixedly arranged relative to the base, and is configured to provide a third driving force, and the locking assembly is fixedly arranged relative to the base, and is configured to provide a fourth driving force. In the case where sheet materials are loaded in the boat, the fourth driving force is used to compress the sheet materials along the stacking direction, and the third driving force is used to release the compression of the sheet materials.

[0039] The boat positioning mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a bearing assembly to carry the boat, uses a first positioning assembly to adjust the position of the boat in a first direction, and uses a second positioning assembly to adjust the position of the boat in a second direction, thereby achieving positioning of a boat with a large carrying weight. In addition, during the adjustment process, the bearing assembly can stably carry the boat and move synchronously with the boat in the same direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment.

[0040] In addition, the boat's positioning mechanism utilizes an unlocking component to release the compression of the sheet material loaded on the boat, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the sheet material on the boat; at the same time, the locking component is utilized to compress the sheet material loaded on the boat, so as to facilitate the positioning of the sheet material after the sheet material is placed on the boat, thereby ensuring that the placement state of the sheet material in the boat remains unchanged during the process of positioning the boat by the boat positioning mechanism and during the process of transporting the boat by the boat moving mechanism.

[0041] The specific structure of the boat positioning mechanism is described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

The second positioning assembly 400 is arranged on the base 100, and is configured to provide a second driving force F2 along a second direction Y1 to drive the boat 2 to move along the second direction Y1, and the second direction Y1 intersects with the extension direction of the boat 2. The unlocking assembly 500 is fixedly disposed relative to the base 100 and is configured to provide a third driving force F3, and the locking assembly 600 is fixedly disposed relative to the base 100 and is configured to provide a fourth driving force F4. When the boat 2 is loaded with sheet materials 3, the fourth driving force F4 is used to compress the sheet materials 3 along the stacking direction, and the third driving force F3 is used to release the compression of the sheet materials 3.

[0044] The cross-sectional shape of the boat 2 may be a rectangle, a parallelogram, or other polygonal or irregular shapes, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0045] The bearing base 21 can be formed by connecting several plate-like structures. The plate-like structures can be non-detachably connected by welding, bonding, etc., or detachably connected by bolts, nuts, screws, snaps, magnetism, etc.

[0046] Exemplarily, the bearing base 21 is formed by a plurality of plate-like structures fixedly connected, and the bearing base 21 has a plurality of accommodating cavities 201.

[0053] For example, Figure 2As shown, the boat positioning mechanism 10 includes three bearing assemblies 200, and the three bearing assemblies 200 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X1.

Wherein, when the number of the second driving sources 410 is two, the two second driving sources 410 are arranged at both ends of the driving member 420. Since the length of the boat 2 along the first direction X1 is long and the weight of the boat 2 is large, it is more convenient to drive the boat 2 to move along the second direction Y1 by setting two or more second driving sources 410.

[0111] For example, Figures 5 to 7As shown, the second positioning assembly 400 includes two second driving sources 410, a driving member 420, three first slide rails 430 and three first sliders 440.

[0123] In some embodiments, the carrier assembly 200 further includes a first resetting assembly 270 , which is configured to drive the first carrier plate 210 to slide relative to the base 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 to reset the first carrier plate 210 .

[0124] In some embodiments, the carrier assembly 200 further includes a second restoring assembly 280 , which is configured to drive the second carrier plate 220 to slide relative to the first carrier plate 210 in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1 , so as to restore the second carrier plate 220 .

[0125] In some embodiments, the carrier assembly 200 further includes a first reset assembly 270 and a second reset assembly 280. The first reset assembly 270 is configured to drive the first carrier plate 210 to slide relative to the base 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 so as to reset the first carrier plate 210. The second reset assembly 280 is configured to drive the second carrier plate 220 to slide relative to the first carrier plate 210 in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1 so as to reset the second carrier plate 220.

[0126] The first reset component 270 may include a linear module, a manipulator, a cylinder or other types of driving structures. As long as the first reset component 270 can drive the first carrier 210 to slide relative to the base 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 to reset the first carrier 210, the present disclosure does not make any specific limitations.

[0127] The second reset component 280 may include a linear module, a manipulator, a cylinder or other types of driving structures. As long as the second reset component 280 can drive the second carrier 220 to slide relative to the first carrier 210 in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1 to reset the second carrier 220, the present disclosure does not make any specific limitations.

[0128] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the bearing assembly 200 further includes two first reset assemblies 270 and a second reset assemblies 280. The first reset assemblies 270 are respectively connected to the base 100 and the first carrier plate 210, and the second reset assemblies 280 are respectively connected to the base 100 and the second carrier plate 220. When the boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10, the first reset assemblies 270 drive the first carrier plate 21 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction X1, and the second reset assemblies 280 drive the second carrier plate 220 to move in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1, so as to realize the reset of the bearing assembly 200.

[0129] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first reset assembly 270 includes a first reset member 2710 and a first limit block 2720. The first reset member 2710 is connected to the base 100 through a first fixed block 2730. The first limit block 2720, the first carrier 210, the first reset member 2710 and the first fixed block 2730 are sequentially arranged along the first direction X1. When the boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10, the first reset member 2710 drives the first carrier 210 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 until the first carrier 210 abuts against the first limit block 2720, thereby achieving the reset of the first carrier 210.

[0130] The first restoring member 2710 may be a first elastic member, and the first elastic member may be connected to the first carrier 210. When the first carrier 210 moves along the first direction X1, the first carrier 210 squeezes the first elastic member. After the boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member drives the first carrier 21 to move in a direction opposite to the first direction X1.

[0131] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second reset assembly 280 includes a second reset member 2810 and a second limit block 2820, the second reset member 2810 is connected to the first carrier 21 through a second fixed block 2830, and the second limit block 2820, the second carrier 220, the second reset member 2810 and the second fixed block 2830 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y1. When the boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10, the second reset member 2810 drives the second carrier 220 to move in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1 until the second carrier 220 abuts against the second limit block 2820, thereby achieving the reset of the second carrier 220.

[0132] The second restoring member 2810 may be a second elastic member, and the second elastic member may be connected to the second carrier 220. When the second carrier 220 moves along the second direction Y1, the second carrier 220 squeezes the second elastic member. After the boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10, the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member drives the second carrier 220 to move in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1.

[0133] In some embodiments, Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the boat 2 includes a bearing base 21, at least one pressing assembly 22 and a limiting assembly 23. The bearing base 21 has at least one accommodating cavity 201, and the accommodating cavity 201 is configured to accommodate multiple sheets of sheet materials 3 stacked in layers. The pressing assembly 22 is connected to the bearing base 21 and moves toward or away from the accommodating cavity 201 to press or loosen the sheet materials 3 in the accommodating cavity 201. The limiting assembly 23 is configured to limit the pressing assembly 22.

[0134] The locking assembly 600 drives the pressing assembly 22 to move toward the accommodating cavity 201 , so that the pressing assembly 22 presses the sheet material 3 in the accommodating cavity 201 , thereby pressing the sheet material 3 along the stacking direction.

[0135] The unlocking assembly 500 drives the pressing assembly 22 to move in a direction away from the accommodating chamber 201 , so that the pressing assembly 22 releases the sheet material 3 in the accommodating chamber 201 , thereby releasing the pressing of the sheet material 3 .

[0136] The boat positioning mechanism 10 further includes a limit release assembly 1100 , which is configured to drive the limit assembly 23 to move so as to release the limit imposed by the limit assembly 23 on the clamping assembly 22 .

[0137] For example, Fig.11As shown, the limiting assembly 23 includes a third limiting block 231 and a fourth limiting block 232. The third limiting block 231 is fixedly connected to the clamping assembly 22, and the fourth limiting block 232 is rotatably connected to the boat 2. The third limiting block 231 has a first inclined surface 2311, and the fourth limiting block 232 has a second inclined surface 2321. The vertical height of the first inclined surface 2311 gradually increases along the first direction X1, and the vertical height of the second inclined surface 2321 gradually increases along the first direction X1. Before the pressing assembly 22 presses the sheet material 3 in the accommodating chamber 201, the second inclined surface 2321 contacts the first inclined surface 2311. Under the drive of the locking assembly 600, the third limiting block 231 moves along the first direction X1, so that the first inclined surface 2311 moves relative to the second inclined surface 2321, until the first inclined surface 2311 separates from the second inclined surface 2321, the locking assembly 600 stops moving, and the fourth limiting block 232 abuts against the third limiting block 231, so that the limiting assembly 23 limits the pressing assembly 22. When the locking assembly 600 is reset, the limiting assembly 23 can prevent the pressing assembly 22 from moving away from the accommodating chamber 201 and release the sheet material 3 in the accommodating chamber 201, so as to ensure that the pressing assembly 22 continues to press the sheet material 3 in the accommodating chamber 201 during the movement of the boat 2, so that the placement state of the sheet material 3 in the accommodating chamber 201 remains unchanged.

[0138] For example, Fig.11 As shown, the limit release assembly 1100 is arranged on the driving member 420, and the limit release assembly 1100 includes a seventh cylinder 1101, a second connecting member 1102 and a top member 1103. The seventh cylinder 1101 is arranged vertically, the second connecting member 1102 is connected to the telescopic end of the seventh cylinder 1101, and the top member 1103 is connected to the second connecting member 1102. The telescopic end of the seventh cylinder 1101 extends upward to drive the second connecting member 1102 to move upward, thereby driving the top member 1103 to move upward to abut against the fourth limit block 232, and driving the fourth limit block 232 to rotate, so that the fourth limit block 232 no longer abuts against the third limit block 231, and finally releasing the limit of the limit assembly 23 on the clamping assembly 22.

[0139] Exemplarily, the boat 2 also includes two limit assemblies 23, and the boat's positioning mechanism 10 also includes two limit release assemblies 1100. The two limit assemblies 23 are relatively arranged on both sides of the boat 2, one limit release assembly 1100 is arranged on the driving member 420, and the other limit release assembly 1100 is arranged on the second reference member 800. One limit release assembly 1100 is arranged corresponding to one limit assembly 23.

[0140] In some embodiments, the boat positioning mechanism 10 further includes at least one sensor 1200 , which is disposed on the base 100 or the supporting assembly 200 and is configured to detect whether the boat 2 is placed on the supporting assembly 200 , or to detect the position of the boat 2 .

[0141] Exemplarily, the boat positioning mechanism 10 further includes a sensor 1200 , which is disposed on the base 100 or the supporting assembly 200 and is used to detect whether the boat 2 is placed on the supporting assembly 200 .

[0142] Exemplarily, the boat positioning mechanism 10 also includes two sensors 1200, which are disposed on the base 100. The two sensors 1200 are spaced apart at both ends of the base 100 along the first direction X1. One sensor 1200 is used to detect whether the boat 2 is placed on the supporting assembly 200 and whether the boat 2 is in an initial position, and the other sensor 1200 is used to detect whether the boat 2 is in a positioning position.

[0143] The sensor 1200 may be a micro switch, a slot-type photoelectric sensor, a through-beam photoelectric sensor, or other types of sensors, which are not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0144] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the boat positioning mechanism 10 includes four sensors 1200, all of which are arranged on the base 100, and all of which are through-beam photoelectric sensors. Two sensors 1200 form a group, and the two sensors 1200 of one group are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y1, and are located on the side of the first positioning component 300 close to the bearing component 200, and are used to detect whether the boat 2 is placed on the bearing component 200 and whether the boat 2 is in the initial position. The two sensors 1200 of another group are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y1, and are located on the side of the first reference member 700 close to the bearing component 200, and are used to detect whether the boat 2 is in the positioning position.

[0145] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Fig.10 and Fig.12 As shown, the boat 2 further includes a material box 24, which has an opening and is configured to contain multiple sheets of sheet materials 3 stacked in layers. The material box 24 is separately provided from the supporting base, and the material box 24 can be placed in the receiving cavity 201. The material box 24 is used to take and place the multiple sheets of sheet materials 3 stacked in layers in the receiving cavity 201, so as to improve the efficiency of taking and placing the sheet materials 3.

[0146] In addition, when the sheet material 3 is a silicon wafer with a cross section, during the process of the cross section of the silicon wafer with a cross section being passivated by coating, the passivating gas enters the material box 24 from the opening, and the material box 24 can shield the non-cross section of the silicon wafer to reduce the phenomenon of plating around the non-cross section of the silicon wafer.

[0147] A boat transport device 1 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a boat positioning mechanism 10 and a boat moving mechanism 20 as mentioned in the above embodiments, the boat positioning mechanism 10 is configured to carry a boat 2 and position the boat 2, and the boat moving mechanism 20 is configured to move the boat 2 to the boat positioning mechanism 10, or to move the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10.

[0148] The boat moving mechanism 20 may include a robot or other types of structures, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0149] The process of transporting a boat 2 by the boat transport device 1 includes the following steps:

[0150] Step 1: The boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 carrying multiple sheets of sheet materials 3 to the boat positioning mechanism 10 . At this time, the boat 2 is in a locked state, that is, the pressing component 22 is close to the accommodating cavity 201 and presses the sheet materials 3 in the accommodating cavity 201 .

[0151] Step 2: The first positioning assembly 300 drives the boat 2 to move along the first direction X1 until the boat 2 abuts against the first reference member 700 .

[0152] Step 3: The second positioning assembly 400 drives the boat 2 to move along the second direction Y1 until the boat 2 abuts against the second reference member 800 .

[0153] Step 4: The limit release component 1100 drives the limit component 23 to move to release the limit imposed by the limit component 23 on the clamping component 22 .

[0154] Step 5: The unlocking assembly 500 drives the pressing assembly 22 to move away from the accommodating cavity 201 in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 and releases the sheet material 3 in the accommodating cavity 201, thereby putting the boat 2 in an unlocked state.

[0155] Step 6: Replace the material box 24 in the boat 2 to replace the plurality of sheet materials 3 in the boat 2 .

[0156] Step 7: The limit release assembly 1100 is reset, the unlocking assembly 500 is reset, and the locking assembly 600 drives the pressing assembly 22 to approach the accommodating cavity 201 along the first direction X1 and press the sheet material 3 in the accommodating cavity 201, so that the boat 2 is in a locked state.

[0157] Step 8: The locking assembly 600 is reset, and the first boat moving assembly 900 drives the boat 2 to move away from the first reference member 700 in a direction opposite to the first direction X1 and move to a first preset position.

[0158] Step 9: The second boat moving assembly 1000 drives the boat 2 to move away from the second reference member 800 in a direction opposite to the second direction Y1 and move to a second preset position.

[0159] Step 10: The boat moving mechanism 20 moves the boat 2 away from the boat positioning mechanism 10 .
