Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to an oven mesh belt structure for battery silicon wafers. Background Art

[0002] In the photovoltaic industry, after being cut, the silicon wafers need to go through a cleaning process to remove pollutants such as residual silicon powder, organic matter, and metal ions on the surface. After cleaning, they need to be dried by a drying device before being sent to the next process. Generally, an oven is used to hold the silicon wafers, and hot air is used to dry the silicon wafers.

[0003] In the existing silicon wafer drying process, the silicon wafers are generally transported by a mesh belt in the oven. The silicon wafers lie flat on the mesh belt, and their contact area with the mesh belt is large, which easily causes scratches on the surface of the silicon wafers, increases the probability of the silicon wafers being contaminated with impurities such as dust and aluminum powder on the mesh belt, and affects the yield of the silicon wafers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an oven mesh belt structure for battery silicon wafers, which can reduce the contact area between the silicon wafers and the oven mesh belt, reduce scratches on the surface of the silicon wafers, reduce the probability of the silicon wafers being contaminated with impurities such as dust and aluminum powder on the mesh belt, and improve the yield of the silicon wafers.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an oven mesh belt structure for battery silicon wafers, including a mesh belt drivingly connected to a driving roller, wherein a silicon wafer supporting assembly is arranged on the mesh belt, and the silicon wafer supporting assembly includes a plurality of groups of supporting seats symmetrically distributed left and right, and a supporting pipe for placing silicon wafers is arranged on the supporting seats.

[0006] A further improvement of the utility model is that the distance between the mutually remote ends of the two supporting pipes in each group is greater than the width of the silicon wafer, and the distance between their mutually close ends is less than the width of the silicon wafer.

[0007] A further improvement of the utility model is that the two supporting pipes are inclined, and the mutually remote end is higher than the mutually close end, and the left and right ends of the silicon wafer are in contact with the two supporting pipes.

[0008] A further improvement of the utility model is that the supporting pipe is rotatably connected to the supporting seat.

[0009] A further improvement of the utility model is that the supporting seat includes a rotating shaft and an L-shaped support welded to the mesh belt. The rotating shaft is inclined, and its two ends are connected to the two side walls of the L-shaped support, and the supporting pipe is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0010] A further improvement of the present utility model is that perforations and card slots are respectively provided on both side walls of the L-shaped support. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the perforation and is bent and locked, and the other end passes through the card slot and is bent and locked. The rotating shaft is bent and locked at both ends on the L-shaped support.

[0011] A further improvement of the present utility model is that a substrate tube is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the substrate tube is located on the lower side of the receiving tube.

[0012] A further improvement of the present utility model is that the receiving tube is a high-temperature resistant ceramic tube.

[0013] A further improvement of the present utility model is that the receiving tube is a high-temperature resistant silica gel tube.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] By arranging a silicon wafer supporting component on the mesh belt, the present utility model can reduce the contact area between the silicon wafer and the oven mesh belt, reduce scratches on the surface of the silicon wafer, reduce the probability of the silicon wafer being contaminated with impurities such as dust and aluminum powder on the mesh belt, and improve the yield of the silicon wafer.

[0016] By arranging an inclined receiving tube, when transporting the silicon wafer, the silicon wafer only contacts the receiving tube at both ends, further reducing the contact area, and thus reducing the risk of scratches on the surface of the silicon wafer.

[0017] The rotating shaft of the present utility model is bent and locked at both ends on the L-shaped support, with stable connection and convenient disassembly. When disassembling, the end of the rotating shaft passing through the card slot can be bent in the reverse direction to release the lock, facilitating the replacement of the receiving tube and improving the maintenance efficiency of the mesh belt.

[0018] Since both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the side walls of the L-shaped bracket, the distance between both ends of the rotating shaft and the side walls of the L-shaped bracket is relatively small, which will affect the rotation of the receiving tube. By arranging a substrate tube, the lower end of the receiving tube is supported to prevent the lower end of the receiving tube from falling into the small distance, improving the smoothness of the rotation of the receiving tube.
