[0029] The embodiment of the present application provides a material receiving device 10 to solve at least one of the following problems existing in the conventional technology of kicking out defective cells after detection in the production of photovoltaic modules: the large space occupied by the suction cup module causes space waste; the suction cup module makes it difficult to achieve neat stacking of cells and easily causes cell fragmentation; the risk of fragmentation and scratches for operators when collecting cells in the material box. The material receiving device 10 will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The material receiving device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplary, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the receiving device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The receiving device 10 of the present application can realize kicking out the defective battery cells 20 transmitted on the conveying component 100 from the production line and transferring them to the receiving box 300, so that the defective battery cells 20 are neatly stacked in the receiving box 300, reducing or avoiding the phenomenon of battery cell 20 fragmentation, ensuring that the battery cell 20 fragmentation will not be caused when the operator collects it, avoiding scratches on the operator, and reducing or avoiding economic losses.

[0031] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the material receiving device 10, the material receiving device 10 will be introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown, a material receiving device 10 includes a conveying component 100 , a driving component 200 and a material receiving box 300 .

[0032] The conveying component 100 includes a plurality of conveying members 110. The plurality of conveying members 110 are spaced apart along the conveying direction. The conveying surfaces of the plurality of conveying members 110 are located at the same horizontal height. The plurality of conveying members 110 cooperate with each other to realize the transmission of the battery cells 20. The driving component 200 is connected to one of the conveying members 110, and the driving component 200 is used to drive one side of the conveying member 110 to tilt downward or reset. When one side of the conveying member 110 tilts downward, the battery cells 20 on the conveying member 110 can slide down along the tilted direction until they are separated from the conveying member 110. The material receiving box 300 is arranged below the tiltable conveying member 110, and the material receiving box 300 is used to collect the battery cells 20 that slide off the conveying member 110. By controlling the size of the material receiving box 300, the material receiving box 300 can be used to organize and collect multiple battery cells 20.

[0033] The above-mentioned material receiving device 10 can realize the timely kicking out of the defective battery cells 20 detected on the solar cell production line and the collection of the kicked out battery cells 20. The battery cells 20 are collected in the material receiving box 300. Since one side of the conveying member 110 is tilted downward, each defective battery cell 20 enters the material receiving box 300 at the same angle, so the purpose of sequentially collecting and arranging the battery cells 20 can be achieved. The battery cells 20 that slide into the material receiving box 300 are basically in a stacked state, achieving neat stacking.

[0034] In some of these embodiments, see Figure 1As shown, among a plurality of conveyor members 110, a driving member 200 is connected to one of the conveyor members 110 located at the middle position, and a receiving box 300 is correspondingly arranged. It should be noted that the above-mentioned middle position refers to any one of the conveyor members 110 located between the first and the last conveyor members 110 among the plurality of conveyor members 110. The first and the last conveyor members 110 are generally used to connect the upstream and downstream processes and serve as the loading station and the unloading station. Therefore, the first and the last conveyor members 110 may not be used to connect the driving member 200.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 as shown, Figure 2 is a schematic side view of the receiving device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the driving member 200 drives one side of the conveyor member 110 to tilt downward, the first included angle α1 between the conveying surface of the conveyor member 110 and the horizontal plane is 5° to 10°. It should be noted that based on the horizontal plane, when the driving member 200 can drive one side of the conveyor member 110 to tilt downward, the maximum angle that the conveyor member 110 can rotate is 5° to 10°.

[0036] In some embodiments, the driving member 200 is used to drive the end of the conveyor member 110 in the conveying direction to tilt downward or reset. Through the above setting, after the driving member 200 drives the end of the conveyor member 110 to tilt downward, the battery cell 20 on the conveyor member 110 can be sent into the receiving box 300 by means of the conveying action of the conveyor member 110. That is to say, in this application, there is no need to set other power mechanisms, and relying on the self-conveying function of the conveyor member 110, the defective battery cells 20 can be gradually transferred from the conveyor member 110 into the receiving box 300. The end of the above-mentioned conveyor member 110 is Figure 1 the right end of the conveyor member 110 among the angles shown in

[0037] In some embodiments, the conveyor member 110 includes a conveyor bracket, a conveyor shaft 111, and a conveyor belt 112. At least two conveyor shafts 111 are rotatably connected to the conveyor bracket. The conveyor belt 112 is sleeved and connected to a plurality of conveyor shafts 111. The conveyor shaft 111 can rotate under the drive of a power mechanism. One of the conveyor brackets is connected to the driving member 200. The conveyor bracket is not shown in the drawings. In this application, by driving the entire conveyor bracket to tilt by the driving member 200, the normal movement of the conveyor shaft 111 and the conveyor belt 112 is not affected. When the entire conveyor bracket tilts, the conveyor shaft 111 and the conveyor belt 112 continue to move, which can assist the defective battery cells 20 on the conveyor belt 112 to gradually enter the receiving box 300 from the conveyor belt 112.

[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1As shown, the number of conveyor belts 112 of each conveyor member 110 can be multiple, for example, the number of conveyor belts 112 is two. The two conveyor belts 112 are arranged in parallel and sleeved on the conveyor shaft 111.

[0039] In some embodiments, the conveyor member 110 further includes a power mechanism. Each conveyor member 110 is respectively connected to the power mechanism. For example, the power mechanism can be a driving motor. The power mechanism is connected to each conveyor shaft 111, and the number of the power mechanisms can be one or multiple. The power mechanism can drive each conveyor shaft 111 to move synchronously.

[0040] In some embodiments, the driving member 200 is a driving cylinder.

[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the driving member 200 is arranged below the conveyor member 110. Arranging the driving member 200 below the conveyor member 110 can save space. The area below the conveyor member 110 is an empty area and does not belong to the functional area. Therefore, arranging the driving member 200 below the conveyor member 110 does not occupy other positions on the machine table, greatly improving the space utilization rate of the machine table. In addition, arranging the receiving box 300 below the conveyor member 110 can also save the space of the machine table.

[0042] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the receiving box 300 has a cuboid structure, and the top surface of the receiving box 300 has a material receiving opening. Arranging the material receiving opening on the top surface of the receiving box 300 facilitates the defective battery sheets 20 on the inclined conveyor member 110 to slide into the receiving box 300.

[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of the receiving box 300 has a second included angle α2 with the horizontal plane. The second included angle α2 is equal to the first included angle α1 between the conveying surface of the conveyor member 110 and the horizontal plane after one side of the conveyor member 110 is inclined downward. The setting that the top surface of the receiving box 300 has a second included angle α2 with the horizontal plane makes the top surface where the material receiving opening of the receiving box 300 is located and the conveying surface of the inclined conveyor member 110 basically remain on an inclined plane, facilitating the battery sheets 20 to smoothly enter the receiving box 300 and realizing neat material collection.

[0044] In some of these embodiments, the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving cavity of the receiving box 300 are adapted to the dimensions of the battery cell 20, so that only one battery cell 20 is accommodated in each layer within the receiving cavity. Further, the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving cavity of the receiving box 300 are slightly larger than the dimensions of the battery cell 20, which can keep the stacked battery cells 20 neat. For example, the cross-sectional dimensions (length, width) of the receiving cavity of the receiving box 300 are slightly larger than the dimensions (length, width) of one battery cell 20. The above settings can enable each battery cell 20 entering the receiving box 300 to occupy a separate layer. For example, when the second battery cell 20 enters the receiving box 300, it will be stacked on the first-layer battery cell 20. In this way, multiple battery cells 20 can be stacked and neatly stacked, reducing or avoiding the occurrence of fragmentation when the operator collects the battery cells 20 in the receiving box 300.

[0045] When the receiving device 10 of the present utility model is in use, each conveying member 110 cooperates to convey the battery cell 20. At the same time, a detection mechanism such as a sensor, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera, etc. is used to detect defects such as the appearance and hidden cracks of the battery cell 20 on the conveying member 110. Among them, the detection mechanism can be arranged above the conveyable conveying member 110. When the detection mechanism detects that a certain battery cell 20 has a defect, the control mechanism receives the signal from the detection mechanism and controls the driving member 200 to drive the conveying bracket to tilt downward by 5° - 10°. While the conveyor belt 112 of the conveying member 110 is tilted, the conveyor belt 112 of the conveying member 110 continues to convey, assisting the battery cell 20 to enter the lower receiving box 300. After the battery cell 20 detaches from the conveying member 110, the control component controls the driving member 200 to drive the conveying bracket to reset, and the conveying member 110 can continue to convey the next battery cell 20.

[0046] In summary, the receiving device 10 of the present utility model has a compact structure, does not occupy extra space on the machine platform, can save space costs, and effectively improves the space utilization rate of the machine platform; the receiving device 10 of the present utility model can also enable the defective battery cells 20 to be neatly stacked in the receiving box 300 after being kicked out on the conveying member 100, ensuring that when the operator collects the battery cells 20 in the receiving box 300, the fragmentation of the battery cells 20 is reduced or avoided, avoiding personal scratches and economic losses.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own focuses. For the parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0048] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0049] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
