DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0024] The present application embodiment discloses a conveying structure suitable for photovoltaic cells. Figure 1 The conveying structure suitable for photovoltaic cells includes a lower conveying shaft 1 and an upper conveying shaft 2, a soft roller group 3 is arranged on the lower conveying shaft 1, a floating roller group 4 is arranged on the upper conveying shaft 2, and a transmission assembly 5 for mutual transmission is arranged between the upper conveying shaft 2 and the lower conveying shaft 1. When the product enters, the lower conveying shaft 1 is driven to rotate by the driving motor, and then the upper conveying shaft 2 is driven to rotate by the transmission assembly 5, and then the meshing rotation is used to drive the silicon wafer forward, and the upper floating roller group 4 is lifted by the product through friction, so that each product can move forward stably under the clamping of the floating roller group 4 and the conveying roller group. And because the setting of the soft roller group 3 and the floating roller group 4 with floating setting can reduce the occurrence of the roller being scratched.

[0025] The soft roller group 3 includes a plurality of roller pieces 31 sleeved on the lower conveying shaft 1, and the roller pieces 31 are silicone rollers. Limiting rings 32 are provided on the lower conveying shaft 1 at both ends of the plurality of roller pieces 31, that is, the setting of the limiting rings 32 can prevent the roller pieces 31 from axially shaking, thereby ensuring the accuracy of transmission. The floating wheel 41 is set as a silicone roller, which can further reduce the occurrence of scratches on the silicon wafer.

[0026] The floating roller group 4 includes a plurality of floating wheels 41 sleeved on the upper conveying shaft 2. Positioning sleeves 42 are provided at both ends of the axial direction of each floating wheel 41 for limiting its own axial movement. The inner diameter of the floating wheel 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the upper conveying shaft 2. When the product enters, the lower conveying shaft 2 is driven by the driving motor, and the upper floating wheel 41 is lifted by the product through friction, so that each product moves forward stably under the clamping of the floating wheel 41 and the roller sheet 31. The setting of the positioning sleeve 42 can prevent the product from deflecting due to the deflection of the entire roller.

[0027] The positioning sleeve 42 includes an inner sleeve 43 sleeved on the upper conveying shaft 2, a tapered elastic portion 44 is provided on the inner sleeve 43, a pressing sleeve 45 is sleeved on the inner sleeve 43, and a tapered pressing portion 46 for pressing the elastic portion 44 is provided on the pressing sleeve 45. Thus, the pressing sleeve 45 is gradually screwed on the inner sleeve 43, so that the tapered pressing portion 46 gradually presses the elastic portion 44, so that the inner sleeve 43 is fixed on the upper conveying shaft 2. This structure replaces the limiting ring 32+stop screw design of the transmission design, thereby preventing the screw from loosening and falling on the product, causing scratches, carding, broken pieces and other abnormalities.

[0028] The transmission assembly 5 includes an upper gear 51 arranged on the upper conveying shaft 2 and a lower gear 52 arranged on the lower conveying shaft 1. The upper gear 51 and the lower gear 52 are meshed with each other for transmission. The lower conveying shaft 1 is provided with a helical gear 53 for transmission with a driving device. That is, an external driving device drives the helical gear 53 to rotate, thereby rotating the lower conveying shaft 1, and then drives the upper conveying shaft 2 to rotate after the lower gear 52 and the upper gear 51 are meshed, thereby achieving the effect of driving the silicon wafer to be transported. Ceramic bearings 54 are provided at both ends of the upper conveying shaft 2 and the lower conveying shaft 1.

[0029] Ceramic bearings 54 are provided at both ends of the upper conveying shaft 2 and the lower conveying shaft 1. Ceramic or metal bearings are selected to make the entire conveying more stable and smooth. At the same time, the design of replacing the wear-resistant bushing with the bearing reduces the friction between the axis and the conveying shaft sleeve. Since the wear-resistant bushing is a consumable part, after being replaced with a bearing, the equipment operating cost of replacing consumable parts is also reduced.

[0030] The implementation principle of the conveying structure for photovoltaic cells in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the product enters, the lower conveying shaft 1 is driven to rotate by the driving motor, and then the upper conveying shaft 2 is driven to rotate by the transmission assembly 5, and then the meshing rotation is used to drive the silicon wafer forward, and the product lifts the upper floating roller group 4 through friction, so that each product moves forward stably under the clamping of the floating roller group 4 and the conveying roller group. And because the soft roller group 3 and the floating roller group 4 are set, the occurrence of roller scratches can be reduced.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
