[0002] Solar cells are devices that convert light energy directly into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. When sunlight hits a semiconductor, part of it is reflected by the surface, and the rest is absorbed or transmitted by the semiconductor; some of the absorbed photons turn into heat, while others collide with the atomic valence electrons that make up the semiconductor to generate electron-hole pairs. In this way, light energy is converted into electrical energy in the form of electron-hole pairs.

The workpiece 10 in this embodiment is a sheet plate, preferably a solar cell.
[0033] Specific as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the water-cut air-drying device includes an air-drying slot 200 and an air knife assembly 300. The air-drying slot 200 is located in the housing 100. The air knife assembly 300 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the air-drying slot 200 in an array form. The air knife assembly 300 includes two air knives 310 that are symmetrical and spaced apart. A plurality of air outlets 301 are arranged on the air knife 310. The air outlets 301 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air knife 310. The air outlets 301 of the two air knives 310 are arranged relatively, and the air outlet angle range of the air outlet 301 is 5 degrees to 10 degrees. By way of example, the air outlet angle of the air outlet 301 can be 5 degrees, 6 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 9 degrees or 10 degrees, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. The air outlet 301 and its air outlet angle can be opened according to actual needs.
[0034] It is worth noting that Figure 4 The top view of the wind knife 301 specifically illustrates the air outlet angle. The air outlet angle of the air outlet 301 is based on the horizontal line as the reference line. The air outlet 301 is tilted upward or downward at a preset angle. The angle between the reference line and the air outlet 301 is the air outlet angle.
[0035] Based on the above design, the air knife assembly 300 is arranged at the bottom of the air drying tank 200, and the workpiece sheet 10 to be dried can be dried in the air drying tank 200. The air knife assembly 300 includes two air knives 310 that are symmetrical and spaced apart, and the air outlets 301 of the two air knives 310 are arranged relatively, so that the workpiece sheet 10 is placed between the two air knives 310, and the two air knives 310 can blow air on both sides of the workpiece sheet 10 at the same time, so that the air volume of the air knife assembly 300 on both sides of the workpiece sheet 10 is consistent, and the workpiece sheet 10 is prevented from being broken or cracked during the drying process. The air knife 310 is fixedly installed in the air drying tank 200, so that the air outlet angles of the two air knives 310 can be fixed, and the angle of the air knife 310 does not need to be adjusted, and the air knife 310 is easy to install; and the air outlet angle of the air knife 310 is 5 degrees to 10 degrees, which is a better blowing angle range, and improves the blowing effect on the workpiece sheet 10.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, each wind knife 310 has only one row of air outlets 301 , and the air outlet angles of the air outlets 301 of the two wind knives 310 are exactly the same, further improving the consistency of the effect of the wind knife assembly 300 blowing air on both sides of the workpiece 10 .
[0037] Further, the distance between the two wind knives 310 is 80 mm-250 mm. Within the above-mentioned air outlet angle range, this distance range has a better blowing effect on the workpiece 10. Exemplarily, the distance between the two wind knives 310 can be 80 mm, 120 mm, 160 mm, 200 mm, 240 mm or 250 mm, etc. This embodiment does not limit this and can be set according to actual needs.
[0038] In order to facilitate the installation and fixation of the wind knife 310, in some embodiments, the wind knife 310 includes a blade body 311 and a limit block 312. The interior of the blade body 311 is hollow. Preferably, the blade body 311 is a tubular structure, the air outlet 301 is arranged on the side wall of the blade body 311, and the limit block 312 is provided with a through hole.

[0040] Optionally, the blade body 311 is welded to the limiting block 312 .
[0041] Furthermore, the limit block 312 includes a first limit portion 313 and a second limit portion 314, the projection area of the first limit portion 313 in the vertical direction is larger than the projection area of the second limit portion 314 in the vertical direction, the outer wall of the second limit portion 314 is provided with a thread, the second limit portion 314 passes through the first mounting hole and is fixed to the groove bottom plate by a nut, and the first limit portion 313 abuts against the groove bottom plate, thereby increasing the installation stability of the wind knife 310 and realizing the detachable connection of the wind knife 310, so that the wind knife 310 is easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0042] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the first mounting hole matches the cross-sectional shape of the second limiting portion 314 .
[0043] Furthermore, the water-cut air-drying device further includes a mounting seat 400, which is fixed to the bottom plate of the tank, and a second mounting hole penetrating the mounting seat 400 is provided on the mounting seat 400, and the limiting block 312 passes through the second mounting hole and the first mounting hole in sequence, and is fixed to the bottom of the air-drying tank 200 by a nut. The mounting seat 400 is provided to further limit the limiting block 312, thereby increasing the installation stability of the air knife 310.
[0044] Likewise, it should be noted that the vertical projection area of the second mounting hole partially overlaps with that of the first mounting hole, and the cross-sectional shape of the second mounting hole matches the cross-sectional shape of the first limiting portion 313. During installation, the first limiting portion 313 of the limiting block 312 is at least partially located in the second mounting hole.
[0045] Continue as Figure 1As shown, the water-cut air-drying device also includes an air pipe tee 500, the main branch of which is connected to the air pipe 510, and the two branches of which are respectively connected to the two air knives 310 in the air knife assembly 300 near the bottom of the air-drying groove 200. The air pipe tee 500 divides the gas in the air pipe 510 into two parts and supplies air to the two air knives 310 in the same group of air knife assemblies 300, ensuring that the air output of the two air knives 310 in the same group of air knives 310 is consistent, thereby increasing the blowing effect on both sides of the workpiece 10. It should be noted that the end of the blade 311 away from the limit block 312 is in a closed state, so that the gas is blown out only from the air outlet 301 to avoid gas leakage.
[0046] Furthermore, the water-cutting and air-drying device includes a plurality of air pipe tee fittings 500, each air pipe tee fitting 500 corresponds to a group of air knife assemblies 300 and an air supply pipe 510, and the inlets of the plurality of air supply pipes 510 are connected to the main air intake pipe 520, and the gas is distributed from the same main air intake pipe 520 to each air supply pipe 510 and then enters each group of air knife assemblies 300.
[0047] Furthermore, a gas flow meter 600 is provided at the inlet end of each gas pipe 510 to quantitatively control the gas flow in the gas pipe 510 of each group of air knife assemblies 300 to ensure a consistent drying effect on each workpiece 10 .
[0048] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the water-cut air-drying device also includes a housing 100, an air-drying tank 200 is arranged in the housing, and the gas pipe 510 is routed from the bottom of the air-drying tank 200 and connected to the corresponding gas flow meter 600 through the wire groove, and the gas flow meter 600 is located at the first maintenance door 110 on the side of the housing 100. Routing from the bottom of the air-drying tank 200 and setting the wire groove prevents the gas pipe 510 from being entangled or scratched, and also makes the layout inside the housing 100 beautiful. The gas flow meter 600 is located at the first maintenance door 110 on the side of the housing 100, which is convenient for adjusting the air volume and maintenance.
[0049] The housing 100 of the water-cut air-drying device is also provided with a second maintenance door 120 , which is located on the opposite side of the first maintenance door 110 and is used for maintaining the gas pipeline 510 line.
[0050] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the water-cutting and air-drying device also includes a mounting box, and the gas flow meters 600 on the gas pipes 510 of the multiple groups of air knife assemblies 300 are all located in the mounting box.
