For example, in PVD process production, a basket is needed to carry multiple sheet materials for processing. Before and after processing, multiple sheet materials need to be loaded and unloaded in sequence. Generally, when belt drive is used for loading and unloading, there is static friction between the rotating belt and the surface of the sheet material. The belt is easy to leave marks on the sheet material, resulting in the problem of reduced quality of the sheet material. Utility Model Content

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0057] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first direction X and the third direction Z are both directions on a horizontal plane, the second direction Y is a direction parallel to the direction of gravity, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0059] In some embodiments, the present application discloses a photovoltaic material processing device (not labeled) comprising: a reaction device 30, a carrying tool 40 and a conveying device 10, see Figure 1(e) to Figure 1(g) , wherein: FIG. 1( e ) shows the conveying device 10 before partially extending into the carrying fixture 40 , FIG. 1( f ) shows the conveying device 10 partially extending into the carrying fixture 40 , and FIG. 1( g ) shows the carrying fixture 40 located in the reaction device 30 .

[0060] When the photovoltaic material processing equipment is working, the carrying fixture 40 carries a plurality of sheet materials 20 in the reaction device 30 for reaction processing. After the sheet materials 20 are processed, part of the conveying device 10 extends into the carrying fixture 40 to take out the processed sheet materials 20 from the carrying fixture 40. The part of the conveying device 10 carrying the sheet materials 20 to be reacted extends into the carrying fixture 40 to place the sheet materials 20 to be reacted on the carrying fixture 40, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly loading and unloading the sheet materials 20, thereby helping to improve the processing efficiency of the sheet materials 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, the sheet material 20 is a photovoltaic material such as a silicon wafer or a solar cell.

[0062] In some embodiments, the carrying tool 40 is a flower basket, a quartz boat, a graphite frame, or other carrying devices with a groove.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 The conveying device 10 includes: a bearing assembly 11 and a bearing member 12. The upper surface of the bearing assembly 11 includes three first bearing areas 111 arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The bearing assembly 11 is provided with a receiving space 112. Along the first direction X, the receiving space 112 passes through all the first bearing areas 111. In the second direction, part of the bearing member 12 is located within the projection of the receiving space 112. The upper surface of the bearing member 12 includes three second bearing areas 121 arranged at intervals along the first direction X. In the first direction X, the bearing member 12 is a plate-shaped member. The bearing member 12 has a front end 122 and a rear end 123 opposite to each other. The front end 122 can move from the projection of the receiving space 112 to the projection of the receiving space 112, or from the projection of the receiving space 112 to the projection of the receiving space 112. A second bearing area 121 is located at the front end 122. The front end 122 is used to extend into the bearing fixture 40. In the first direction X, the spacing between any adjacent second carrying areas 121 is equal to the spacing between any adjacent first carrying areas 111. When a first carrying area 111 is aligned and flush with a second carrying area 121 located within the projection of the accommodating space 112, the sheet material 20 is transferred between the first carrying area 111 and the second carrying area 121.

[0064] The alignment of the first carrying area 111 and the second carrying area 121 indicates that the first carrying area 111 and the second carrying area 121 have the same position arrangement in the first direction X (when the first direction X is regarded as a direction parallel to the X-axis, the same position means the same coordinate on the X-axis). The flushness of the first carrying area 111 and the second carrying area 121 indicates that the first carrying area 111 and the second carrying area 121 have the same position arrangement in the second direction Y (when the second direction Y is regarded as a direction parallel to the Y-axis, the same position means the same coordinate on the Y-axis). Figure 2 The three first bearing areas 111 in the embodiment are marked as A, B, and C from front to back, respectively. Figure 2 The three second bearing areas 121 are marked as a, b, and c from front to back, respectively. The front represents the direction from the rear end 123 to the front end 122, and the rear represents the direction from the front end 122 to the rear end 123.

[0065] Before the sheet material 20 on the carrying fixture 40 needs to be transported outward, in the second direction Y, the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 is located below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c. The front end 122 of the carrying member 12 extends into the carrying fixture 40, and the sheet material 20 in the carrying fixture 40 moves downward under the external force and is placed on the second carrying area 121a. The carrying member 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from front to back relative to the carrying assembly 11, and the moving distance is the spacing between two adjacent second carrying areas 121, so that the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a.

[0066] When the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a, the carrying member 12 moves upward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to above the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111A carries the sheet material 20 and separates the sheet material 20 from the second carrying area 121a.

[0067] After the first carrying area 111A carrying the sheet material 20 is separated from the second carrying area 121a, the carrying member 12 moves forward from the rear relative to the carrying assembly 11 until the front end 122 of the carrying member 12 is located in the carrying fixture 40 and the second carrying area 121b is aligned with the first carrying area 111A. At this time, the carrying member 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying assembly 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111A is placed on the second carrying area 121b until the carrying assembly 11 is separated from the sheet material 20. At the same time, another sheet material 20 in the carrying fixture 40 moves downward and is placed on the first carrying area 111a.

[0068] The carrier 12 carrying all the sheet materials 20 moves again from front to back relative to the carrier assembly 11, so that the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a, the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111C is aligned with the second carrying area 121c.

[0069] After the first carrying areas 111A, B, and C are aligned with the second carrying areas 121a, b, and c respectively, the carrying member 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to above the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111A carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121a, and the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121b, so that all the sheet materials 20 are separated from the carrying member 12.

[0070] After all the sheet materials 20 are separated from the carrier 12, the carrier 12 moves forward from the rear relative to the carrier assembly 11 until the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrier fixture 40 and the second carrier area 121b is aligned with the first carrier area 111A. At this time, the carrier 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrier assembly 11, so that the upper surface of the carrier assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrier 12 to below the upper surface of the carrier 12, and the sheet material 20 on the first carrier area 111A is placed on the second carrier area 121b until the carrier assembly 11 is separated from the sheet material 20. At the same time, another sheet material 20 in the carrier fixture 40 moves downward and is placed on the first carrier area 111a.

[0071] The carrier 12 carrying all the sheet materials 20 moves again from front to back relative to the carrier assembly 11, so that the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a, the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111C is aligned with the second carrying area 121c.

[0072] After the first carrying areas 111A, B, and C are aligned with the second carrying areas 121a, b, and c, respectively, the carrier 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrier 12 to above the upper surface of the carrier 12, so that the first carrying areas 111A, B, and C respectively carry the sheet material 20 on the carrier 12, and the carrier 12 is separated from all the sheet materials 20.

[0073] This cycle is repeated to achieve the conveyance of the sheet material 20 on the second supporting area 121a from front to back, and finally the sheet material 20 is located on the first supporting area 111c. The sheet material 20 on the first supporting area 111c is removed by external equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of the conveying device 10 conveying and unloading the sheet material 20 in the supporting tooling 40.

[0074] Before the sheet material 20 needs to be transferred into the carrying fixture 40, in the second direction Y, the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 is higher than the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the first carrying area 111C is aligned with the second carrying area 121c. The external device places the sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111c, and the carrying member 12 moves downward relative to the carrying assembly 11 along the second direction Y, so that the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111C carries the sheet material 20 and places it on the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111C is separated from the sheet material 20.

[0075] After the sheet material 20 is placed in the second carrying area 121c, the carrier 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from back to front relative to the carrying component 11, and the moving distance is the spacing between two adjacent second carrying areas 121, so that the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrying tooling 40.

[0076] When the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, the carrying member 12 moves upward relative to the carrying assembly 11 along the second direction Y, so that the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to above the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, and the sheet material 20 is separated from the carrying member 12.

[0077] After the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, the carrying member 12 moves from front to back relative to the carrying assembly 11 until the first carrying areas 111A, B, C are aligned with the second carrying areas 121a, b, c respectively.

[0078] The external equipment then places another sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111C, and the carrying member 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111C places the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111C is separated from the sheet material 20, and the first carrying area 111B places the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111B is separated from the sheet material 20.

[0079] When the sheet material 20 is placed in the second carrying area 121c and the second carrying area 121b, the carrier 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from back to front relative to the carrying component 11, so that the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b in the second direction Y, and the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrying tooling 40.

[0080] When the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, the carrier 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrier assembly 11, so that the upper surface of the carrier assembly 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrier 12 to above the upper surface of the carrier 12, so that the first carrying area 111A carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121b, the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, and the carrier 12 is separated from all the sheet materials 20.

[0081] The external device then places another sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111C, and the carrying member 12 moves from front to back relative to the carrying assembly 11 until the first carrying areas 111A, B, C are aligned with the second carrying areas 121a, b, c in the second direction Y respectively.

[0082] The carrier 12 moves upward relative to the carrier assembly 11 along the second direction Y so that the upper surface of the carrier assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrier 12 to below the upper surface of the carrier 12, thereby placing the sheet material 20 carried by the carrier assembly 11 on the second carrying areas 121a, b, and c respectively, and separating the carrier assembly 11 from the sheet material 20.

[0083] When the sheet material 20 is placed in the second carrying areas 121a, b, c, the carrier 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from back to front relative to the carrying component 11, so that the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrying tooling 40.

[0084] This cycle is repeated to achieve the goal of the sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111C being transported from back to front in sequence and finally being located on the second carrying area 121a. The carrying tooling 40 then lifts the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121a, thereby achieving the purpose of the conveying device 10 conveying and loading the sheet material 20 into the carrying tooling 40.

[0085] In summary, the conveying device 10 of the present application realizes the movement of the sheet material 20 on multiple first load-bearing areas 111 one by one by lifting and translating in sequence. Compared with belt conveyor, it reduces the risk of debris generated by the friction of the belt when the sheet material 20 contacts the belt and adheres to the sheet material 20, which helps to improve the quality of the sheet material 20.

[0086] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bearing assembly 11 and / or the bearing member 12 is provided with a through hole 18, and the through hole 18 is connected to an external vacuum generating device. The first bearing area 111 and the second bearing area 121 are respectively provided with adsorption holes 15 connected to the through hole 18. The adsorption holes 15 form a negative pressure under the action of the external vacuum generating device. When the bearing assembly 11 or the bearing member 12 contacts with the sheet material 20, the adsorption holes 15 adsorb the sheet material 20, thereby helping to improve the stability of the bearing assembly 11 or the bearing member 12 in carrying the sheet material 20, so as to reduce the risk of relative sliding between the sheet material 20 and the bearing assembly 11 or the bearing member 12, thereby achieving the effect of improving the quality of the sheet material 20.

[0087] In other embodiments, the second direction Y is a direction intersecting the direction of gravity, the first direction X and the third direction Z both intersect the horizontal plane, and the adsorption holes 15 adsorb and fix the sheet material 20, so that the supporting component 11 and the supporting component 12 can stably support the sheet material 20 respectively.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 3 The conveying device 10 also includes a protective layer 13, which is arranged on the upper surface of the first bearing area 111 and the second bearing area 121. The protective layer 13 is used to contact the sheet material 20 to reduce the contact wear between the sheet material 20 and the bearing assembly 11 and the bearing member 12, and reduce the risk of debris on the bearing assembly 11 and the bearing member 12 adhering to the sheet material 20, which helps to further improve the quality of the sheet material 20.

[0089] In some embodiments, the protection layer 13 is made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant organic or inorganic materials.

[0090] In some embodiments, the protective layer 13 is made of ceramics, which has a smooth surface, is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, and has a certain hardness, thereby meeting the requirements of the first bearing area 111 and the second bearing area 121 for bearing the sheet material 20 .

[0091] In other embodiments, the protection layer 13 is made of quartz, PI, polyurethane, or epoxy resin.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The adsorption holes 15 pass through the protective layer 13 or are arranged around the outer side of the protective layer 13 .

[0093] In some embodiments, a protective film (not shown) is disposed on the surface of the protective layer 13 , and the surface damage of the sheet material 20 is reduced by the provision of the protective film.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the sheet material 20 is a silicon wafer, the protective film is made of silicon. The protective film is silicon powder attached to the surface of the protective layer 13. The contact between the silicon powder and the silicon wafer of the same material helps to reduce the risk of damage to the silicon wafer surface or adhesion of impurities.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the protective layer 13 is processed, there is no silicon powder attached to the surface of the protective layer 13. Multiple silicon wafers are contacted with the protective layer 13 in sequence, so that the silicon powder on the silicon wafers falls off and adheres to the surface of the protective layer 13, thereby achieving the effect of setting silicon powder on the protective layer 13.

[0096] In other embodiments, the protective film is an organic film adhered to the surface of the protective layer 13 .

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 3 The bearing assembly 11 includes a connecting rod 114 and at least two bearing rods 113, the bearing rods 113 are evenly spaced along the third direction, and the rear ends of the bearing rods 113 are respectively connected to the connecting rods 114, so as to realize the fixed setting of the bearing rods 113, the accommodating space 112 is located between two adjacent bearing rods 113, each first bearing area 111 spans the upper part of the accommodating space 112, and is located on the upper surface of the bearing rods 113 on both sides of the accommodating space 112, and at least part of the bearing member 12 is located in the projection of the accommodating space 112 in the second direction Y. When the sheet material 20 is transported, the first bearing areas 111 on both sides of the accommodating space 112 are used to support the two ends of the sheet material 20, or the second bearing area 121 is used to support the middle part of the sheet material 20, so as to help improve the stability of the bearing assembly 11 or the bearing member 12 in carrying the sheet material 20.

[0098] In other embodiments, the bearing rod 113 and the connecting rod 114 are integrally provided.

When the first bearing area 111 is aligned with the second bearing area 121, the lifting driver 161 drives the carrier 12 to move up and down relative to the bearing rod 113, thereby achieving the effect of conveying the sheet material 20.

[0112] In some embodiments, all the lifting drivers 161 are arranged on the base 19 and are respectively connected to the slide rails 172. The slider 171 is connected to the driving member 173 and the supporting member 12. The slider 171 is slidably connected to the slide rail 172. The driving member 173 drives the slider 171 to slide on the slide rail 172, so that the slider 171 drives the supporting member 12 to move horizontally relative to the supporting rod 113. When the first supporting area 111 is aligned with the second supporting area 121, the lifting driver 161 drives the slider 171 and the supporting member 12 to move up and down relative to the supporting rod 113, thereby achieving the effect of conveying the sheet material 20.

[0113] For further information, see Figures 2 to 4 The lifting driver 161 is disposed on the base 19, and is connected to the middle load-bearing rod 113 among the three load-bearing rods 113.

When the slider 171 drives the bearing member 12 to move along the first direction X relative to the bearing assembly 11, the slider 171 synchronously drives the baffle 174 to move from the sensing area of ​​one of the photoelectric sensors 175 to the sensing area of ​​the other photoelectric sensor 175, and the photoelectric sensor 175 sends a feedback signal to the driving member 173 to stop the driving member 173, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the bearing member 12 along the first direction X.

In the third direction Z, the two ends of the limit member 192 extend from below the middle bearing rod 113 among the three bearing rods 113 to below the other two bearing rods 113. When the lifting driver 161 drives the bearing rods 113 to descend, so that the bearing member 12 carries the sheet material 20 on the bearing assembly 11, the limit member 192 limits the bearing rods 113 located on both sides among the three bearing rods 113 to limit the descending distance of the bearing rods 113, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the lifting and resetting of the bearing rods 113.

[0116] The working process of the transmission device 10 of an embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0117] Before the sheet material 20 on the carrying fixture 40 needs to be transported outward, in the second direction Y, the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 is located below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c. The front end 122 of the carrying member 12 extends into the carrying fixture 40, and the sheet material 20 in the carrying fixture 40 moves downward under the external force and is placed on the second carrying area 121a. The carrying member 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from front to back relative to the carrying assembly 11, and the moving distance is the spacing between two adjacent second carrying areas 121, so that the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a.

[0118] When the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121a, the carrying member 12 moves upward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to above the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111A carries the sheet material 20 and separates the sheet material 20 from the second carrying area 121a.

[0119] After the first carrying area 111A carrying the sheet material 20 is separated from the second carrying area 121a, the carrying member 12 moves forward from the rear relative to the carrying assembly 11 until the front end 122 of the carrying member 12 is located in the carrying fixture 40 and the second carrying area 121b is aligned with the first carrying area 111A. At this time, the carrying member 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying assembly 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111A is placed on the second carrying area 121b until the carrying assembly 11 is separated from the sheet material 20. At the same time, another sheet material 20 in the carrying fixture 40 moves downward and is placed on the first carrying area 111a.

[0126] After the sheet material 20 is placed in the second carrying area 121c, the carrier 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from back to front relative to the carrying component 11, and the moving distance is the spacing between two adjacent second carrying areas 121, so that the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrying tooling 40.

[0127] When the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, the carrying member 12 moves upward relative to the carrying assembly 11 along the second direction Y, so that the upper surface of the carrying assembly 11 moves from below the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to above the upper surface of the carrying member 12, and the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, and the sheet material 20 is separated from the carrying member 12.

[0128] After the first carrying area 111B carries the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, the carrying member 12 moves from front to back relative to the carrying assembly 11 until the first carrying areas 111A, B, C are aligned with the second carrying areas 121a, b, c respectively.

[0129] The external equipment then places another sheet material 20 on the first carrying area 111C, and the carrying member 12 moves downward along the second direction Y relative to the carrying component 11, so that the upper surface of the carrying component 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrying member 12 to below the upper surface of the carrying member 12, so that the first carrying area 111C places the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111C is separated from the sheet material 20, and the first carrying area 111B places the sheet material 20 on the second carrying area 121b, and the first carrying area 111B is separated from the sheet material 20.

[0130] When the sheet material 20 is placed in the second carrying area 121c and the second carrying area 121b, the carrier 12 carrying the sheet material 20 moves from back to front relative to the carrying component 11, so that the first carrying area 111B is aligned with the second carrying area 121c, and the first carrying area 111A is aligned with the second carrying area 121b, and the front end 122 of the carrier 12 is located in the carrying tooling 40.

[0133] The carrier 12 moves upward relative to the carrier assembly 11 along the second direction Y so that the upper surface of the carrier assembly 11 moves from above the upper surface of the carrier 12 to below the upper surface of the carrier 12, thereby placing the sheet material 20 carried by the carrier assembly 11 on the second carrying areas 121a, b, and c respectively, and separating the carrier assembly 11 from the sheet material 20.
