[0002] With the rapid development of the solar photovoltaic industry, solar cells have begun to develop towards low cost, high efficiency, and large output. In the production process of solar cells, they need to go through processes such as cleaning, diffusion, sintering, and coating.

[0003] When the battery cells are being cleaned, they are usually placed in a basket. The cleaning equipment is equipped with a basket support bar to support the basket. The basket support bar is usually fixed to the bottom of various cleaning tanks in the cleaning equipment, so the basket support bar needs to be tapped and fixed with bolts or screws. With the development of large production, more baskets and basket support bars are needed.

[0004] The existing tapping of flower basket support bars still uses manual positioning and manual tapping, which results in low tapping efficiency, low consistency of tapping quality and high labor costs, and is no longer suitable for the current development trend of large production.

[0005] Therefore, how to avoid the deviation of the progress and position of the tapping caused by manual tapping is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning and clamping mechanism includes a plurality of clamping cylinders to respectively cooperate with the X-direction positioning plate and the Y-direction positioning plate to clamp the workpiece to be tapped on both sides thereof.

[0015] Furthermore, the X-direction positioning plate is connected to an X-direction clamping cylinder; and the Y-direction positioning plate is connected to a Y-direction clamping cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the number of the clamping cylinders is not less than 6.

[0017] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the tapping equipment of the utility model realizes automatic clamping of the basket bar by setting an XY dual-axis clamping positioning clamping mechanism.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one embodiment provides a tapping device, including: a base 1, on which a positioning plate with X and Y directions and a positioning clamping mechanism 3 with a workpiece support bar 3005 is provided on the equipment table 3006; a tapping device 2, which is provided with an X, Y, and Z three-axis linear module to drive the tapping drill 2009 to move, and is fixed on the equipment table 3006 through a mounting seat 2007 of the X-axis linear module 2001; wherein the tapping device 2 is suitable for performing tapping operations on a workpiece 4 to be tapped whose positioning plate of the positioning clamping mechanism 3 is limited on the workpiece support bar 3005.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the Y-axis linear module 2003 of the tapping device 2 is arranged on the X-axis linear module 2001 through a first transition plate 2011a, and the Z-axis linear module 2005 is arranged on the Y-axis linear module 2003 through a second transition plate 2011b.

[0033] Specifically, the X-axis linear module 2001 is connected to the X-axis servo motor 2002 ; the Y-axis linear module 2003 is connected to the Y-axis servo motor 2004 ; and the Z-axis linear module 2005 is connected to the Z-axis servo motor 2006 .

[0034] Specifically, the tapping drill bit 2009 is connected to a tapping servo drive 2008 .

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the tapping device 2 also includes a pneumatic pressing mechanism 2010, which is used to cooperate with the tapping drill bit 2009 to press the workpiece to be tapped 4. When the tapping is in place, the pneumatic pressing mechanism extends out to press the workpiece, and then the tapping drill bit retracts the thread. After the thread retraction is completed, the pneumatic pressing mechanism retreats to release the workpiece.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning and clamping mechanism 3 includes a plurality of clamping cylinders to respectively cooperate with the X-direction positioning plate 3001 and the Y-direction positioning plate 3002 to clamp the workpiece 4 to be tapped on both sides thereof.

[0037] Specifically, the X-direction positioning plate 3001 is connected to the X-direction clamping cylinder 3003; and the Y-direction positioning plate 3002 is connected to the Y-direction clamping cylinder 3004; the X-direction clamping cylinder is originally in an extended and relaxed state. When positioning in the X-direction is required, the X-direction clamping cylinder 3003 retracts and clamps one side in the X-direction, so that the other side of the tapped piece 4 is against the X-direction positioning plate.

[0038] Specifically, the number of the clamping cylinders is not less than 6 to perform positioning and clamping on the flower basket strips.

[0039] Specifically, the flower basket support bar is manually placed on the workpiece support bar, and one end of the flower basket support bar contacts the X-axis positioning plate. The start button is pressed, and the Y-axis pneumatic clamping mechanism extends to position and fix the workpiece to be processed along the Y-axis positioning plate, and then the X-axis pneumatic clamping mechanism retracts to position and fix the workpiece along the X-axis, so that the workpiece X and Y-axis positioning and clamping are completed. After the workpiece positioning and clamping are completed, the X-axis linear module and the Y-axis linear module run to the programmed point, and the tapping servo drive drives the tapping drill to tap downward; after the tapping is in place, the pneumatic pressing mechanism extends to press the workpiece, and the drill withdraws the thread at the same time. After the thread is withdrawn, the pneumatic pressing mechanism withdraws to release the workpiece, and the processing is repeated in this order until all threaded holes are processed.

[0040] To sum up, the tapping equipment of the utility model realizes automatic clamping of the basket bar by setting up an XY dual-axis clamping positioning clamping mechanism. The workpiece to be processed can be accurately positioned by manually placing it on the workpiece support bar. At the same time, the tapping device with XYZ three-axis motion can ensure the consistency of tapping quality while realizing automatic tapping.
