Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a gripper for processing solar cell sheets, in particular to a gripper for processing solar cell sheets. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the solar energy industry, higher requirements are placed on the production efficiency of solar cells. In order to increase production and reduce costs, automated and precise equipment is needed to handle these thin and fragile cells. Solar cells are easily damaged by static electricity, physical shock or improper operation during processing. Therefore, a tool that can safely adsorb and transport cells is needed to reduce losses in production.

[0003] However, the grippers used in traditional solar cell processing may not be convenient for adapting to solar cells of different sizes. Special grippers need to be designed and used for each size of solar cell. This design limits the versatility of the grippers. In addition, during the production process, when it is necessary to process solar cells of different sizes, the grippers may need to be replaced frequently, which increases the complexity of the operation and production costs. In addition, the grippers used in traditional solar cell processing may not be convenient for achieving smooth and precise handling and positioning of solar cells on automated production lines, especially when performing complex processes that require fine processing at multiple angles or positions. This limits the degree of automation of the production line.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a gripper for processing solar cells to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

The gripper for processing solar cells has multiple anti-static suction nozzles arranged at the lower end and connected with the suction holes, so that it can effectively achieve adaptability to solar cells of different sizes. This design avoids the need to design and use special grippers for each size of solar cell separately. Since multiple suction holes can adapt to various sizes, the step of frequently replacing grippers according to different sizes of solar cells is also eliminated. This directly leads to a significant reduction in downtime in the production process, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, reducing equipment adjustment and downtime also means reducing energy consumption throughout the production cycle, thereby achieving a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly manufacturing process.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A gripper for processing solar cell sheets, comprising a main body plate and a connecting plate, wherein a mounting groove is provided in the middle of the lower end of the main body plate, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the mounting groove, and an output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate;

[0008] Air pumps are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the connecting plate, a second flow cavity is opened on the inner wall of the connecting plate, and a first flow cavity is opened on the inner wall of the main body plate.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the servo motor is started to drive the connecting plate to rotate at a constant speed, so that the gripper can not only firmly grasp the solar cell in the adsorption state, but also maintain this adsorption force during the rotation process, so that the cell can be smoothly rotated to multiple different processing positions on the production line. This ability is essential for executing those complex processing techniques. These processes may require the cell to be finely processed at multiple angles or multiple positions while being adsorbed. In this way, the gripper can adapt to the needs of highly automated and flexible production lines, improve production efficiency, and ensure the accuracy of the processing process and product quality.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, by controlling the airflow in the flow cavity, the size of the adsorption force can be accurately managed to adapt to solar cells of different sizes and thicknesses.

[0014] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided at the lower end of the main body plate;

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the sliding groove can easily install or remove other components, simplifying the process of maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0016] Furthermore, an insulating plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, and a conductive plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate;

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the structural stability of the connecting plate is enhanced by the fixed connection between the insulating plate and the conductive plate, making the overall clamp more sturdy and durable.

[0018] Furthermore, the lower ends of the inner walls of the air suction holes are connected through anti-static suction nozzles;

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the suction nozzle is directly connected to the suction hole, so that the adsorption force can be generated more effectively, and the battery cell can be grasped quickly and firmly.

[0020] Furthermore, installation boxes are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the connecting plate, and the inner walls of the installation boxes are tightly fitted with the outer walls of the air pump;

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the air pump is provided with stable support and positioning through the mounting box, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire gripper.

[0022] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The solar cell processing gripper proposed in the utility model is compared with the existing solar cell processing gripper. The solar cell processing gripper drives the connecting plate to rotate at a uniform speed by starting the servo motor. In this way, the gripper can not only firmly grasp the solar cell in the adsorption state, but also maintain the adsorption force during the rotation process, so that the cell can be smoothly rotated to a plurality of different processing positions on the production line. This ability is essential for executing those complex processing techniques. These processes may require the cell to be finely processed at multiple angles or positions while being adsorbed. In this way, the gripper can adapt to the needs of highly automated and flexible production lines, improve production efficiency, and ensure the accuracy of the processing process and product quality.

[0024] 2. Compared with the existing solar cell processing grippers, the solar cell processing grippers proposed in the utility model have multiple anti-static suction nozzles at the lower end and are connected to the suction holes, so that the adaptability to solar cells of different sizes can be effectively achieved. This design avoids the need to design and use special grippers for each size of solar cell separately. Since multiple suction holes can adapt to various sizes, the step of frequently replacing grippers according to different sizes of solar cells is also eliminated. This directly leads to a significant reduction in downtime in the production process, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, reducing equipment adjustments and downtime also means reducing energy consumption throughout the production cycle, thereby achieving a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly manufacturing process.

A plurality of air outlet holes 6 are provided at the upper end of the main plate 1, and a plurality of air suction holes 9 are provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 2. The inner walls of the air outlet holes 6 are connected to the interior of the first flow chamber 4, and the inner walls of the air suction holes 9 are connected to the interior of the second flow chamber 5. By controlling the airflow in the flow chamber, the size of the adsorption force can be accurately managed to adapt to solar cells of different sizes and thicknesses.

[0040] Working principle: The gripper for processing solar cells drives the connecting plate 2 to rotate at a constant speed by starting the servo motor 7. In this way, the gripper can not only firmly grasp the solar cell in the adsorption state, but also maintain this adsorption force during the rotation process, so that the cell can be smoothly rotated to multiple different processing positions on the production line. This ability is essential for executing those complex processing processes. These processes may require the cell to be finely processed at multiple angles or positions while being adsorbed. In this way, the gripper can adapt to the needs of highly automated and flexible production lines, improve production efficiency, and ensure the accuracy of the processing process. In order to improve the performance and product quality, a plurality of anti-static suction nozzles 12 are arranged at the lower end and connected with the suction holes 9, so that the adaptability to solar cells of different sizes can be effectively achieved.

Since the plurality of suction holes 9 can adapt to various sizes, the step of frequently replacing the suction tools according to the different sizes of solar cells is also eliminated, which directly leads to a significant reduction in the downtime in the production process, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency. At the same time, reducing equipment adjustment and downtime also means reducing energy consumption throughout the production cycle, thereby achieving a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly manufacturing process.
