Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel manufacturing, specifically to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The cell stringing process is an important step in the production of solar panels, which uses solder ribbons to weld individual cells into strings.

[0003] In the stringing of solar cells, the alternately stacked solar cells and paper need to be placed in designated positions according to requirements. The solar cells need to be placed from the loading box to the guiding station, and the paper needs to be transferred from the loading box to the paper tray. Currently, the loading structure for transporting solar cells and paper is bound together or implemented using the same transport structure. However, the time for adsorbing and transferring paper is longer than the time for transferring solar cells. As a result, the solar cells have been transferred, but we still need to wait for the paper to be transferred, which leads to a low overall stringing rate. Utility Model Content

[0047] The cell stringing process is an important step in the production of solar panels, which uses solder ribbons to weld individual cells into strings.

[0048] In the stringing of solar cells, the alternately stacked solar cells and paper need to be placed in designated positions according to requirements. The solar cells need to be placed from the loading box to the guiding station, and the paper needs to be transferred from the loading box to the paper tray. Currently, the loading structure for transporting solar cells and paper is bound together or implemented using the same transport structure. However, the time for adsorbing and transferring paper is longer than the time for transferring solar cells. As a result, the solar cells have been transferred, but we still need to wait for the paper to be transferred, which leads to a low overall stringing rate.

[0049] In view of this, the present invention provides a differential structure. Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the differential structure provided by this utility model.

[0050] Please see Figure 1The diagram below is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a feeding device for a string welding machine. The feeding device includes a feeding box, a paper box, a transmission module, and a first feeding module. The feeding box has an internal cavity for holding alternately stacked battery cells and paper. The paper tray is longitudinally positioned on one side of the feeding box. The transmission module has a feeding station and a guiding station for transferring the battery cells from the feeding station to the guiding station. The first feeding module is longitudinally slidable and includes a first picking part and a second picking part. The first picking part picks the battery cells from the feeding box to the transmission module, and the second picking part picks the paper from the feeding box to the paper tray. The first picking part and the second picking part travel along their respective trajectories, passing the feeding box, the paper tray, and the feeding station of the transmission module. The first picking part and the second picking part can move simultaneously towards different stations in the same direction.

[0051] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, a feeding device is provided. The feeding device is used in the string welding machine process to place the alternately stacked battery cells and paper into designated positions according to the requirements. The battery cells need to be placed from the feeding box to the guiding station, and the paper needs to be transferred from the feeding box to the paper placement box. The feeding device includes a feeding box, a paper placement box, a transmission module, and a first feeding module. The feeding box has an internal cavity for holding alternately stacked battery cells and paper; the paper tray is longitudinally disposed on one side of the feeding box; the transmission module has a feeding station and a guiding station for transmitting the battery cells from the feeding station to the guiding station; and the first feeding module is capable of sliding longitudinally and includes a first picking part and a second picking part, the first picking part for picking up the battery cells from the feeding box to the transmission module, and the second picking part for picking up the paper from the feeding box to the paper tray; wherein, the first picking part and the second picking part pass through the feeding box, the paper tray and the feeding station of the transmission module on their running trajectories, and the first picking part and the second picking part can move towards different stations in the same direction at the same time.

[0052] In this embodiment, the feeding device further includes a guiding device disposed at the guiding station for guiding the solar cells. Guiding the solar cells ensures that the solar cell module can effectively absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. By guiding the solar cells, the surface area for sunlight absorption can be increased, improving the light absorption rate. This allows more solar energy to be converted into electrical energy, improving the efficiency of the solar cell module.

[0053] Furthermore, the transmission module is arranged laterally, while the first feeding module extends longitudinally. This lateral arrangement saves space. The transmission module includes a conveyor belt and a drive unit. The conveyor belt can slide laterally, and the drive unit drives it. The conveyor belt ensures stable transport of the battery cells, reducing labor costs associated with manual handling and improving production efficiency. The conveyor belt can transport materials over long distances, avoiding the cost and time waste associated with multiple short-distance handling operations.

[0054] The first feeding module includes a slide rail, a mounting part, and multiple adsorption parts. The slide rail extends longitudinally, and the mounting part is mounted on the slide rail and can slide longitudinally. Multiple adsorption parts are mounted on the mounting part for adsorbing the battery cells or the paper. The adsorption parts are movable in the vertical direction. Both the first and second picking parts include the adsorption parts. By mounting the mounting part on the slide rail, the mounting part can slide longitudinally along the slide rail. The adsorption parts are mounted on the mounting part and are movable in the vertical direction. Therefore, when it is necessary to adsorb the battery cells or the paper, or when it is necessary to place the battery cells to a designated station or the paper into the paper tray, the adsorption parts can move downwards. When it is necessary to transfer the battery cells or the paper, the adsorption parts can move upwards.

[0055] The mounting portion is square, and the adsorption portions are installed at the four corners of the mounting portion. Two adsorption portions spaced apart horizontally form an adsorption group. A first adsorption group and a second adsorption group are spaced apart vertically. The first adsorption group is used to adsorb the first battery cell, and the second adsorption group is used to adsorb the second battery cell. In this embodiment, the mounting portion is square for easy processing and shaping, and the quadrilateral is a symmetrical shape, corresponding to the rectangular shape of the battery cell. The dimensions of the battery cell can be determined according to the size of the battery cell, with the two sides of the square axis corresponding to the size of the battery cell. Since paper is generally square, the mounting portion is square in this embodiment. Furthermore, the adsorption portions are located at the four corners of the mounting portion, evenly distributing the adsorption portions at the four corners, allowing the adsorption portions to more stably adsorb the battery cell.

[0056] Furthermore, the mounting part is provided with a mounting groove that extends laterally, allowing the adsorption part to slide laterally. The adsorption part can slide on the mounting groove, and when the battery cells to be adsorbed are of different sizes, the position of the adsorption part at the mounting groove can be adjusted to align with the battery cells of different sizes. If the position of the battery cell within the feeding box is deviated, the position of the adsorption part can also be adjusted to adsorb the battery cell.

[0057] Furthermore, the first feeding module also includes a first mounting block and multiple second mounting blocks. The first mounting block is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the multiple second mounting blocks are movably mounted on the first mounting block in the vertical direction. The mounting portion is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the second mounting blocks. By providing the first mounting block, the first mounting block is slidably mounted longitudinally on the slide rail. By providing the second mounting blocks, the second mounting blocks are slidably mounted vertically on the first mounting block. The adsorption portion is mounted on the second mounting blocks and has two degrees of freedom: vertical and vertical. This allows for more flexible and faster movement to the designated position. The multiple second mounting blocks can move independently.

[0058] Furthermore, the first mounting block is detachably connected to the slide rail; and / or, the first mounting block is detachably connected to the second mounting block; and / or, the mounting part is detachably connected to the second mounting block; and / or, the adsorption part is detachably connected to the mounting part. The detachable connection makes maintenance and repair easier, allowing for quick disassembly of connecting components for inspection or replacement, saving time and costs. The detachable connection makes the equipment more flexible, allowing for the replacement, addition, or reduction of connecting components as needed to adapt to different working environments or requirements. The detachable connection reduces the size and weight of the equipment, making transportation and installation more convenient, and also reducing transportation costs.

[0059] In addition, the feeding device also includes a second feeding module, which is used to transport the aligned solar cells to the next workstation. To ensure the normal production of the solar panels, this embodiment also includes a second feeding module, which transfers the aligned solar cells.

[0060] Furthermore, to facilitate the processing and production of the entire feeding device, the device for transferring and guiding the battery cells can be configured to be the same as the mounting part for transporting the battery cells described above. Specifically, the second feeding module includes a second slide rail, a second mounting part, and multiple second suction parts. The second slide rail extends longitudinally; the second mounting part is mounted on the slide rail and can slide longitudinally.

[0061] Multiple second adsorption units are mounted on the second mounting part for adsorbing the battery cell or the paper; the second adsorption units are movable in the vertical direction; and the second mounting part is square, with the second adsorption units mounted at the four corners of the mounting part. Two adsorption units spaced apart in the horizontal direction form an adsorption group, and a third adsorption group and a fourth adsorption group are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The first adsorption group is used to adsorb the first battery cell, and the second adsorption group is used to adsorb the second battery cell.
