[0028] The following mainly describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The present application proposes a transparent conductive glass substrate detection device 100, which includes a frame 110, a conveying mechanism 120 and a detection component. The frame 110 has a detection station; the conveying mechanism 120 is installed on the frame 110, and the conveying mechanism 120 can move the substrate 200 toward the detection station along the first direction X; the detection component is relatively displaced at the detection station of the frame 110, and the detection component includes a displacement module 180 and a light transmission detection member 130 and / or a square resistance detection member 140 arranged on the displacement module 180. The detection component performs random inspections on different points of the substrate 200 along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, and forms a random inspection path L2; wherein the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.

[0030] Preferably, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0031] In the present application, after the conveying mechanism 120 moves the substrate 200 toward the detection station along the first direction X, the detection component performs random inspections on different points of the substrate 200 along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, at least detecting the resistance or transmittance of the transparent conductive glass substrate 200, without removing the photovoltaic substrate 200 from the production line, the detection process is simple, the detection efficiency is high, and the production proceeds smoothly; and there is no need to destroy the substrate 200, the process is reduced, and the cost is saved; in addition, the detection component can detect each substrate 200, the detection data volume is large, the detection result is accurate, the objectivity is strong, and the error is reduced.

[0032] In addition, in some embodiments, the sampling path L2 is any one of a "V" shape, a "W" shape, an "S" shape, a "Z" shape, and a "U" shape, or a switching combination of any of the above. Figure 3 , the figure shows a “V”-shaped sampling path L2, and other forms of sampling paths L2 are no longer shown one by one.

[0033] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the light transmission detection member 130 includes a transmitter 131 and a receiver 132; the transmitter 131 and the receiver 132 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission mechanism 120 in the third direction Z, and the transmitter 131 and the receiver 132 move synchronously along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y; wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other. Further, in some embodiments, the square resistance detection member 140 includes an electromagnetic emission module and an induction probe module separately arranged at the detection station on both sides of the third direction Z, and the electromagnetic emission module and the induction probe module move synchronously. In addition, in some embodiments, the square resistance detection member 140 moves synchronously with the light transmission detection member 130 along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y.

[0034] Preferably, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the light transmission detection element 130 is used to detect the transmittance of the substrate 200 to light within a specific wavelength or wavelength range, thereby evaluating the light transmission performance of the transparent conductive glass substrate 200, which is crucial to ensuring the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Specifically, in some embodiments, the transmitter 131 can emit a suitable light beam, which can be a light beam simulating sunlight or a monochromatic light of a specific wavelength to cover the spectral range to which the solar cell is sensitive; at the same time, the receiver 132 receives the light beam and records the light intensity after passing through the substrate 200, and compares it with the light intensity when it is emitted, thereby obtaining the transmittance expressed in the form of a percentage, and by analogy, the transmission spectrum at different wavelengths can be obtained.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that square resistance refers to the resistance value of a specific area on the substrate 200. Square resistance detection is also called block resistance detection. It is an important step in the production process of solar cells. It is mainly used to measure the resistivity distribution of the substrate 200. Resistivity is one of the key factors affecting the performance of solar cells because it is directly related to the conductivity and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0037] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the square resistance detection element 140 measures the voltage and current at different points of the substrate 200 according to the cooperation between the electromagnetic emission module and the induction probe module, so that the square resistance value can be calculated. During the detection process, multiple test points are selected on the substrate 200 to ensure the representativeness and accuracy of the test results.

[0038] In addition, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The transparent conductive glass substrate detection device 100 also includes a displacement module 180, which includes a first displacement mechanism and a second displacement mechanism respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the detection station, a transmitter 131 and an electromagnetic transmission module are arranged at the displacement end of the first displacement mechanism, and a receiver 132 and a sensing probe module are arranged at the displacement end of the second displacement mechanism; specifically, the displacement module 180 can be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional displacement module.

[0039] In some embodiments, the transparent conductive glass substrate inspection device 100 further includes a visual component, which is fixed above the inspection station or synchronously displaced with the light transmission inspection component 130 and / or the square resistance inspection component 140. Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the visual component includes a light source 150 and a visual camera 160; the light source 150 is installed at the detection station of the frame 110, and the light emitted by the light source 150 at least covers the detection station; the visual camera 160 is fixed above the detection station or movably set on the displacement module 180, and the visual camera 160 can collect the appearance image of the substrate 200. Further, in some embodiments, the displacement module 180 is set on the frame 110 or the fixed carrier, and the light transmission detection component 130 and / or the square resistance detection component 140 are set on the mobile end of the displacement module 180.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the light source 150 emits an illumination light covering the inspection station, and the visual camera 160 with high sensitivity and high resolution performs photosensitivity and imaging to identify tiny defects on the surface and / or inside of the substrate 200, such as hidden cracks, broken edges, color difference, missing corners, stains, bubbles, scratches, broken lines and other defects.

[0041] Furthermore, in actual production, the visual component works together with the light transmission detection component 130 and the square resistance detection component 140 to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the substrate 200; and the above detection components are all contactless detection, avoiding secondary damage to the substrate 200 during the detection process, while improving the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0042] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 120 includes two sets of conveying roller modules, which are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the conveying direction. The conveying roller modules include a plurality of conveying rollers arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, that is, the conveying rollers are arranged corresponding to the edge areas of the substrate 200, and the intervals between the two sets of conveying roller modules are arranged in the second direction Y. The substrate 200 is mounted on the two sets of conveying roller modules and is transmitted forward. An unobstructed area for detecting the displacement and detection of the detection component is formed between the two sets of conveying roller modules.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 The transparent conductive glass substrate inspection device 100 further includes two positioning jaws 170 mounted on the frame 110. The two positioning jaws 170 are separately arranged on both sides of the inspection station in the second direction Y, and a substrate clamping space is formed between the two positioning jaws 170. Further, in some embodiments, the positioning jaws 170 have a plurality of flexible teeth 171, and the flexible teeth 171 are pressed against the edge of the substrate 200.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the two positioning jaws 170 are used to clamp the substrate 200 and center and position the substrate 200 perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 120. Specifically, the two positioning jaws 170 can remain stationary, and the substrate 200 detection component moves to form a detection path; or the substrate 200 detection component can remain stationary, and the two positioning jaws 170 drive the substrate 200 to move, thereby generating relative displacement with the substrate 200 detection component to form a detection path. The above embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the positioning jaws 170 clamp the substrate 200 through the flexible clamping teeth 171, which can prevent damage to the substrate 200 while firmly clamping it.

[0045] In particular, the term "and / or" in this application should be understood as follows:

[0046] First, the term “and / or” located between a first subject and a second subject includes any one of the following meanings: (1) only the first subject; (2) only the second subject; and (3) the first subject and the second subject.

[0047] Secondly, the term "and / or" between the last two entities among three or more entities refers to at least any one of the entities. For example, "the first entity, the second entity and / or the third entity" has the same meaning as "the first entity and / or the second entity and / or the third entity", specifically including the following combinations: (1) only the first entity; (2) only the second entity; (3) only the third entity; (4) the first entity and the second entity without the third entity; (5) the first entity and the third entity without the second entity; (6) the second entity and the third entity without the first entity; and (7) the first entity, the second entity, and the third entity.
