Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar cell manufacturing, in particular to a lower module ejector device of a string welding machine. Background Art
[0002] During the automatic string welding process of solar cells, the complete solar cell is divided into two welding processes, each time welding half of the solar cell. Since the back electrode printing pattern of the solar cell is divided into eight segments and twelve segments, the eight-segment solar cell has eight welding pads, and the twelve-segment solar cell has twelve welding pads; therefore, when welding the eight-segment solar cell, four of the welding pads need to abut against and overlap with the multiple ejector pins in the lower module ejector pin device of the string welding machine, and when welding the twelve-segment solar cell, six of the welding pads also need to abut against and overlap with the multiple ejector pins in the lower module ejector pin device of the string welding machine.
[0003] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower mold ejector device of the existing stringer includes a base 1 and eight groups of ejector pins fixed on the top surface of the base 1. The eight groups of ejector pins are evenly spaced and parallel to each other. Each group of ejector pins includes two ejector pins 3. The two ejector pins 3 are symmetrically fixed on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the base 1. The top ends of the eight ejector pins 3 located in the same vertical plane are respectively used to abut against multiple welding pads 4 of the solar cell.
[0004] The lower module ejector device of the above-mentioned stringer has the following problems during the welding process: when the eight ejector pins 3 located on the vertical plane coincide with the positions of the four pads 4, the positions of the six pads 4 cannot be compatible, resulting in the inability to effectively support the six pads 4, and undesirable phenomena such as cold soldering and position offset of welding points often occur, resulting in a decrease in the overall production efficiency of the stringer and the qualified rate of the products, and a reduction in the overall investment in solar cell panels.

[0022] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0023] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a lower module ejector device of a stringer, the stringer includes multiple groups of the lower module ejector devices, the multiple groups of the lower module ejector devices are respectively fixed in multiple grooves of the platform of the stringer, each group of the lower module ejector devices includes a base 1, multiple groups of spring groups and multiple groups of ejector groups, the base 1 is fixed in one of the grooves of the platform of the stringer, the top surface of the base 1 is unevenly spaced to open multiple groups of through hole groups, the multiple groups of through hole groups are parallel to each other, each group of the through hole group includes two through holes, each group of the spring group includes two springs 2, each group of the ejector group includes two ejector pins 3, the bottom end of the spring 2 is fixed in the through hole, the top end of the spring 2 is connected to the bottom end of the ejector pin 3; the two through holes of each group of the through hole group are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the base 1, and the top ends of the multiple ejector pins 3 located in the same vertical plane are respectively used to abut against multiple pads 4 of the solar cell.
[0024] In a specific implementation, a driving motor is provided under the platform of the stringer, and the driving motor can drive the base 1 to rise and fall in the groove, and the position where the multiple groups of lower module ejector devices are fixed on the platform of the stringer is the welding position of the stringer; when there is no solar cell transported to the welding position, the driving motor remains in a stopped state, and the multiple bases 1 are located in the multiple grooves, so that the multiple ejector pins 3 on the base 1 are also located in the grooves; when the solar cell to be welded is transported to the welding position, the driving motor is started, and the multiple bases 1 are simultaneously lifted up from the grooves, so that the top ends of the multiple ejector pins 3 on the base 1 abut against the multiple welding pads 4 of the solar cell.
[0025] The ejector pin 3 is fixed in the through hole by the spring 2, and the spring 2 can make the solar cell have a certain margin of activity during the welding process, so as to avoid the situation that the solar cell is damaged due to excessive concentrated and stiff force; the multiple through holes are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the base 1, so that the multiple ejector pins 3 close to the front side of the base 1 are located in the same vertical plane, and the multiple ejector pins 3 close to the rear side of the base 1 are located in the same vertical plane. During welding, the top ends of the multiple ejector pins 3 and the abutting positions of the multiple welding pads 4 on the solar cell will not be skewed to ensure the accuracy of welding; compared with the prior art in which eight groups of ejector pins are evenly installed on the base 1, the utility model can be compatible with solar cells with different numbers of welding pads 4 by arranging multiple groups of ejector pins to be unevenly installed on the base 1, so that the overlapping area of the ejector pin 3 and the multiple welding pads 4 on the solar cell with different numbers of welding pads 4 is expanded during welding, and then the multiple welding pads 4 can be provided with effective support during the welding process, thereby reducing the undesirable phenomena such as cold welding and welding point position deviation of the solar cell, and improving the overall production efficiency of the string welding machine and the qualified rate of the solar cell.
[0026] Optionally, the number of the spring groups, the number of the ejector pin groups, and the number of the through hole groups are all nine.
[0027] Specifically, the number of spring groups, the number of ejector pin groups, and the number of through-hole groups can be determined according to the number of pads 4 on the solar cell used. Since the utility model needs to be compatible with eight-segment solar cells and twelve-segment solar cells, the number of spring groups, the number of ejector pin groups, and the number of through-hole groups in the utility model are preferably set to nine groups.

The above center spacing dimensions are obtained by technicians after multiple on-site welding experiments of eight-segment solar cells and twelve-segment solar cells.
[0030] Optionally, the size of the base 1 is 88 mm×22 mm×12 mm. Specifically, the size of the base 1 in the present invention can be adjusted according to the size of the multiple grooves on the stringer platform.
[0031] Optionally, the material of the ejector pin 3 is ceramic. The ejector pin 3 made of ceramic has a high melting point and good wear resistance, which can reduce the replacement frequency of the ejector pin 3 and reduce production costs.
[0032] In summary, the lower module ejector device provided by the utility model, by arranging multiple springs 2, allows the solar cell to have a margin of activity during the welding process, thereby avoiding the situation where the solar cell is subjected to concentrated force and is damaged during the welding process; by arranging multiple ejector pins 3 with uneven intervals, the purpose of being compatible with solar cells with different numbers of welding pads 4 is achieved, thereby reducing the time for debugging the ejector pin 3 during the welding process, improving the welding efficiency, and reducing the probability of adverse conditions such as cold welding of the solar cell pad 4 and position deviation of the welding point, thereby improving the qualified rate of the solar cell; by arranging a ceramic ejector pin 3, the service life of the ejector pin 3 can be extended, the replacement frequency of the ejector pin 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the production cost.
