Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3The drying and sintering equipment for screen printing of the utility model comprises a plurality of laser drying components 10 and a plurality of laser sintering components 20. The plurality of laser drying components 10 are used to sequentially perform laser drying treatment on the battery cells A after screen printing, and the plurality of laser sintering components 20 are used to sequentially perform laser sintering treatment on the battery cells A after laser drying treatment.

[0032] The cell A may be an N-type cell or a P-type cell. Specifically, the cell A may be a metal sheet (such as a silicon sheet), and a grid line is formed on the cell A through a screen printing process. Specifically, the material for preparing the grid line may be a metal paste such as silver paste, aluminum paste, silver aluminum paste or copper paste, or a pure metal material such as silver, aluminum, copper, titanium, palladium.

[0033] The laser drying component 10 can perform laser drying on the grid lines on the battery cell A based on laser processing technology, and the laser sintering component 20 can also perform laser sintering on the grid lines on the battery cell A based on laser processing technology, thereby achieving drying and sintering of the grid lines on the battery cell A after screen printing.

[0034] In the drying and sintering equipment for screen printing of the present invention, since each laser drying component 10 can perform laser drying treatment on the battery cell A, and each laser sintering component 20 can perform laser sintering treatment on the battery cell A, and multiple laser drying components 10 cooperate with each other in succession to achieve continuous segmented laser drying treatment on the battery cell A, and multiple laser sintering components 20 cooperate with each other in succession to achieve continuous segmented laser sintering treatment on the battery cell A, compared with traditional electric heating drying and sintering technology, the drying and sintering equipment for screen printing of the present invention significantly reduces the energy consumption of drying and sintering, and on the premise of ensuring the sintering quality of the battery cell A, it improves the utilization rate of thermal energy, reduces the time consumption of equipment maintenance, and improves the equipment utilization rate.

[0035] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , two laser drying components 10 can be arranged in sequence, and three laser sintering components 20 can be arranged in sequence. After the printing of the cell A is completed, the two laser drying components 10 sequentially perform laser drying treatment on the cell A. Specifically, the first laser drying component 10 scans the grid lines of the cell A to remove organic matter in the grid lines; the second laser drying component 10 scans the grid lines of the cell A again to solidify the grid lines. After continuous laser drying treatment by the two laser drying components 10, the dried cell A can be obtained, thereby completing the drying of the grid lines of the cell A.

[0036] When the grid lines of the battery cell A are dried, the three laser sintering components 20 perform laser sintering treatment on the battery cell A in turn. Specifically, the first laser sintering component 20 scans the grid lines of the battery cell A to remove organic matter in the grid lines. The second laser sintering component 20 then scans the grid lines of the battery cell A to melt the grid lines (such as melting the grid line slurry by gradually increasing the temperature to etch through the SiN layer). The third laser sintering component 20 scans the grid lines of the battery cell A again to precipitate metal particles in the grid lines (such as silver particles, which can be precipitated by gradually decreasing the temperature to achieve ohmic contact between the silver in the grid lines and the silicon in the battery cell A). After continuous laser sintering treatment by the three laser sintering components 20, the sintered battery cell A can be obtained.

[0037] Therefore, through the above-mentioned continuous two-stage laser drying treatment and continuous three-stage laser sintering treatment, compared with the traditional electric heating drying and sintering technology, the utility model significantly reduces the energy consumption of drying and sintering, and on the premise of ensuring the sintering quality of battery cell A, it improves the utilization rate of thermal energy, reduces the time consumption of equipment maintenance, and improves the equipment utilization rate.

[0038] In the specific laser drying process, each laser drying component 10 forms a laser drying spot, and multiple laser drying spots sequentially laser dry the gate lines on the screen-printed battery cell A, and the area of ​​each laser drying spot needs to be ensured to be within the line width range of the gate lines on the battery cell A.

[0039] In the specific laser sintering process, each laser sintering assembly 20 is formed with a laser sintering spot, and the multiple laser sintering spots are used to sequentially laser sinter the grid lines on the cell A after the laser drying process, and the area of ​​each laser sintering spot also needs to be ensured to be within the line width range of the grid lines on the cell A. Among them, the multiple laser sintering spots are located on the downstream side of the multiple laser drying spots in the conveying direction L of the cell A.

[0040] It should be noted that no matter how the multiple laser drying components 10 and the multiple laser sintering components 20 are arranged, it is sufficient to ensure that the multiple laser sintering spots are located on the downstream side of the multiple laser drying spots in the conveying direction L of the battery cell A, so that each laser drying component 10 can complete the laser drying process of the gate lines on the battery cell A before the multiple laser sintering components 20.

[0041] Specifically, multiple laser drying assemblies 10 and multiple laser sintering assemblies 20 can be arranged at intervals along the height direction H, and the multiple laser sintering assemblies 20 are located between the multiple laser drying assemblies 10 and the battery cells A in the height direction H, wherein the height direction H is perpendicular to the conveying direction L.

[0042] Here, multiple laser drying components 10 and multiple laser sintering components 20 form an upper and lower distribution structure in the height direction H, that is, all laser drying components 10 are in the upper area, and all laser sintering components 20 are in the lower area, and the multiple laser drying components 10 in the upper area and the multiple laser sintering components 20 in the lower area are all distributed in a stacked manner in the height direction H, which can reasonably utilize the space in the height direction H of the equipment, so that the multiple laser drying components 10 and the multiple laser sintering components 20 do not interfere with each other, thereby not only significantly improving the space utilization rate of the equipment, but also ensuring that the heat energy generated by each laser drying component 10 and each laser sintering component 20 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the thermal energy utilization rate and equipment utilization rate of the equipment.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 Each laser drying assembly 10 may include at least one group of drying lasers 11 and drying scanning galvanometers 12. The drying lasers 11 in each group are used to emit a laser beam, and the drying scanning galvanometers 12 are used to receive and reflect the laser beam emitted by the drying lasers 11 to form a first light spot, and at least part of the first light spot in each group is used to form a laser drying light spot.

[0044] Specifically, in some embodiments, the drying laser 11 and the drying scanning galvanometer 12 in each laser drying component 10 are set as a group, and the first light spot formed in the group as a whole (that is, all the first light spots) form a laser drying light spot. In other words, the first light spot formed in the group is a laser drying light spot. In other embodiments, the drying laser 11 and the drying scanning galvanometer 12 in each laser drying component 10 are set as multiple groups, each group has a first light spot, and at least part of the first light spots in the multiple groups overlap to form a laser drying light spot, that is, the overlapping parts of multiple first light spots (such as full overlap or partial overlap) are used to form a laser drying light spot. Specifically, according to specific drying requirements, by using multiple groups of drying lasers 11 and drying scanning galvanometers 12 in combination, the energy of the laser drying light spot can be significantly improved.

[0045] In each laser drying assembly 10, the emission center of the drying laser 11 in the same group is at the same height as the mirror center of the drying scanning galvanometer 12, and the mirror of the drying scanning galvanometer 12 is tilted relative to the emission direction of the drying laser 11 (i.e., the emission direction of the drying laser 11 intersects with the mirror normal of the drying scanning galvanometer 12). Such an arrangement can ensure that after receiving the laser beam emitted by the drying laser 11, the drying scanning galvanometer 12 can reflect the laser beam to the line width range of the grid line on the battery cell A at the laser drying station (i.e., the laser drying spot position) and form a laser drying spot.

[0046] In some embodiments, the distance between the drying scanning galvanometers 12 of the multiple laser drying components 10 and the battery cell A is sequentially reduced in the conveying direction L of the battery cell A. For the multiple laser drying components 10, the multiple drying scanning galvanometers 12 are stacked and distributed in the height direction H and sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and the multiple drying scanning galvanometers 12 sequentially reflect the laser beam to the grid line on the battery cell A from top to bottom and form a first light spot, which can reasonably utilize the space in the height direction H of the equipment, so that the multiple laser drying components 10 do not interfere with each other, thereby not only significantly improving the equipment space utilization rate, but also ensuring that the heat energy generated by each laser drying component 10 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the equipment heat energy utilization rate and equipment utilization rate.

[0047] Specifically, the plurality of laser drying components 10 include a first laser drying component 10A and a second laser drying component 10B, and the laser drying spot of the first laser drying component 10A is located on the upstream side of the laser drying spot of the second laser drying component 10B in the conveying direction L of the battery cell A. The distance between the drying scanning galvanometer 12 of the first laser drying component 10A and the battery cell A is greater than the distance between the drying scanning galvanometer 12 of the second laser drying component 10B and the battery cell A.

[0048] In the conveying direction L of the cell A, the drying scanning galvanometer 12 of the first laser drying assembly 10A is arranged upstream, and the drying scanning galvanometer 12 of the second laser drying assembly 10B is arranged downstream, so that the laser drying spot of the first laser drying assembly 10A is located upstream of the laser drying spot of the second laser drying assembly 10B in the conveying direction L of the cell A. In addition, the drying scanning galvanometer 12 on the upstream side is arranged above the drying scanning galvanometer 12 on the downstream side in the height direction H, thereby realizing the sequential processing of the grid lines on the cell A by the multiple laser drying assemblies 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, the power of the first laser 11 of the first laser drying assembly 10A is 0.1-10.0 W, the spot diameter is 10-200 μm, the wavelength range is 400-1100 nanometers, and the laser scanning speed is 5-21 m / s.

[0050] In some embodiments, the power of the first laser 11 of the second laser drying assembly 10B is 1.0-100.0 W, the spot diameter is 10-200 μm, the wavelength range is 400-1100 nanometers, and the laser scanning speed is 5-21 m / s.

[0051] Reference Figure 3The laser sintering assembly 20 may include at least one group of sintering lasers 21 and sintering scanning galvanometers 22. The sintering lasers 21 in each group are used to emit a laser beam, and the sintering scanning galvanometers 22 are used to reflect the laser beam emitted by the sintering lasers 21 to form a second light spot. At least part of the second light spot in each group is used to form a laser sintering light spot.

[0052] Specifically, in some embodiments, the sintering laser 21 and the sintering scanning galvanometer 22 in each laser sintering component 20 are set as a group, and the second light spot formed in the group as a whole (that is, all the second light spots) form a laser sintering spot. In other words, the second light spot formed in the group is a laser sintering spot. In other embodiments, the sintering laser 21 and the sintering scanning galvanometer 22 in each laser sintering component 20 are set as multiple groups, each group is formed with a second light spot, and at least part of the second light spots in the multiple groups overlap to form a laser sintering spot, that is, the overlapping part of multiple second light spots (such as full overlap or partial overlap) is used to form a laser sintering spot. Specifically, according to specific sintering requirements, by using multiple groups of sintering lasers 21 and sintering scanning galvanometers 22 in combination, the energy of the laser sintering spot can be significantly improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, the distance between the sintering scanning galvanometers 22 of the multiple laser sintering assemblies 20 and the battery cell A is sequentially reduced in the conveying direction L of the battery cell A. For the multiple laser sintering assemblies 20, the multiple sintering scanning galvanometers 22 are stacked and distributed in the height direction H and sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and the multiple sintering scanning galvanometers 22 sequentially reflect the laser beam to the grid line on the battery cell A from top to bottom and form a second light spot, which can reasonably utilize the space in the height direction H of the equipment, so that the multiple laser sintering assemblies 20 do not interfere with each other, thereby not only significantly improving the equipment space utilization rate, but also ensuring that the heat energy generated by each laser sintering assembly 20 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the equipment heat energy utilization rate and equipment utilization rate.

[0054] Specifically, the plurality of laser sintering assemblies 20 include a first laser sintering assembly 20A, a second laser sintering assembly 20B, and a third laser sintering assembly 20C. The laser sintering spot of the second laser sintering assembly 20B is located on the downstream side of the laser sintering spot of the first laser sintering assembly 20A and the upstream side of the laser sintering spot of the third laser sintering assembly 20C in the conveying direction L of the battery cell A. The distances between the first sintering scanning galvanometer mirrors 22 of the first laser sintering assembly 20A, the second laser sintering assembly 20B, and the third laser sintering assembly 20C and the battery cell A are successively reduced.

[0055] In the conveying direction L of the cell A, the sintering scanning galvanometers 22 of the first laser sintering assembly 20A, the second laser sintering assembly 20B and the third laser sintering assembly 20C are sequentially arranged so that the laser sintering spot of the second laser sintering assembly 20B is located on the downstream side of the laser sintering spot of the first laser sintering assembly 20A and the upstream side of the laser sintering spot of the third laser sintering assembly 20C in the conveying direction L of the cell A. In addition, the sintering scanning galvanometer 22 on the upstream side is located above the sintering scanning galvanometer 22 on the downstream side in the height direction H, thereby realizing the sequential processing of the grid lines on the cell A by multiple laser sintering assemblies 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, the power of the second laser 21 of the first laser sintering assembly 20A is 0.1-10.0 W, the spot diameter is 10-200 μm, the wavelength range is 400-1100 nanometers, and the laser scanning speed is 5-21 m / s.

[0057] In some embodiments, the power of the second laser 21 of the second laser drying assembly 10B and the third laser sintering assembly 20C is 1.0-100.0 W, the spot diameter is 10-200 μm, the wavelength range is 400-1100 nanometers, and the laser scanning speed is 5-21 m / s.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The drying and sintering equipment of the present invention further comprises a furnace body 30, wherein the plurality of laser drying assemblies 10 and the plurality of laser sintering assemblies 20 are disposed in the furnace body 30. Here, since the plurality of laser drying assemblies 10 and the plurality of laser sintering assemblies 20 share the same furnace body 30, the equipment structure is simplified and the space utilization rate in the furnace body 30 is improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The drying and sintering equipment of the present invention further includes a transmission mechanism 40 and an exhaust assembly 50 .

[0060] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 40 can be located above or below the furnace body 30 in the height direction H, and a plurality of screen-printed battery cells A can be placed on the transmission mechanism 40 at intervals, so that each battery cell A can pass through a plurality of laser processing stations in sequence along the conveying direction L to achieve continuous processing. Among them, the plurality of laser processing stations include a plurality of laser drying stations and a plurality of laser sintering stations. Each laser drying station can receive a laser drying spot emitted by a corresponding laser drying component 10, and each laser sintering station can receive a laser sintering spot emitted by a corresponding laser sintering component 20. In other words, under the action of the transmission mechanism 40, the screen-printed battery cell A can pass through the positions of a plurality of laser drying spots and a plurality of laser sintering spots in sequence along the conveying direction L.

[0061] Therefore, based on the cooperation between the transmission mechanism 40 and multiple laser drying components 10 and multiple laser sintering components 20, continuous segmented laser drying processing and continuous segmented laser sintering processing of the battery cell A are realized, thereby significantly reducing the energy consumption of drying and sintering. On the premise of ensuring the sintering quality of the battery cell A, the thermal energy utilization rate is improved, the equipment maintenance time is reduced, and the equipment utilization rate is improved.

[0062] The exhaust assemblies 50 are arranged in pairs, and the two exhaust assemblies 50 arranged in pairs are located on both sides of a corresponding battery cell A along the width direction W, and are used to extract the exhaust gas in the furnace body 30. Among them, the width direction W, the height direction H and the conveying direction L are perpendicular to each other. Specifically, taking the battery cell A placed in the device as a reference object, the conveying direction L is the movement direction of multiple battery cells A, the width direction W can be the width direction of the battery cell A, and the height direction H is the thickness direction of the battery cell A.

[0063] The various technical features described above can be combined arbitrarily. Although all possible combinations of these technical features are not described, any combination of these technical features should be considered to be covered by this specification as long as there is no contradiction in such combination.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still adjust the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
