Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tooling trays, and particularly relates to a battery wafer tray. Background Art

[0002] A battery wafer carrier box, also known as a battery wafer carrier or a battery wafer tray, is a special container designed for the production, storage, and handling of solar battery wafers. It is mainly used to carry, protect, and arrange silicon wafers or other types of battery wafers in an orderly manner to prevent damage or performance degradation caused by mutual friction, collision, or contamination during the production process.

[0003] Although the differences between the specifications of existing battery wafers are not very large, since the size of the existing trays cannot be changed, they can only be adapted to the use of a single battery wafer specification. When changing the production of battery wafer specifications, the existing trays need to be replaced, and the process is cumbersome and troublesome. In addition, the existing method of transporting battery wafers is to pick them up by a manipulator with vacuum suction and then put them into the tray by the manipulator breaking the vacuum. Inevitably, there will be some deviation when the battery wafers fall, and if the deviation is not corrected in time, the battery wafers are prone to damage during the gradual accumulation process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the problem that the existing battery wafer trays cannot adapt to the use of battery wafers of multiple sizes, the utility model proposes a battery wafer tray, in which the columns around the tray can be relatively gathered or separated, so as to be applicable to the use of battery wafers of different sizes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is a battery wafer tray, including:

[0006] A substrate, the upper surface of the substrate is used to carry the battery wafers;

[0007] Columns, several of the columns are distributed in the circumferential direction of the substrate, and the columns limit the movement of the battery wafers in the direction parallel to the substrate;

[0008] A sliding component, the columns are slidably connected to the substrate through the sliding component, and the sliding component includes:

[0009] A reset elastic member, the reset elastic member makes several of the columns slide in the direction of gathering towards each other.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sliding component further includes a chute, a guiding rod is arranged in the chute, a sliding hole slidably matched with the guiding rod is arranged on the column, and the reset elastic member is supported between the chute and the column.

[0011] In some embodiments, the chute is arranged on an independent module, and the module is detachably connected to the substrate.

[0012] In some embodiments, a buffer layer is provided on the upper surface of the substrate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the upper end of the column has a guiding inclined surface facing the middle of the substrate.

[0014] In some embodiments, a buffer structure is provided on the side of the column facing the middle of the substrate.

[0015] In some embodiments, the buffer structure includes a groove provided on the side of the column, and an elastic stopper covers the notch of the groove.

[0016] In some embodiments, the elastic stopper is a thin-walled outer shell sleeved on the column.

[0017] In some embodiments, several of the columns include fork-shaped columns. The middle of the fork-shaped column has a notch in the up-down direction. The notch divides the upper part of the column into two juxtaposed column heads in the direction parallel to the plane of the substrate.

[0018] In some embodiments, the substrate is rectangular. Two of the columns are provided on the long side of the substrate, and one of the columns is provided on the short side of the substrate. The column on the short side of the substrate is the fork-shaped column, and the width of the column on the long side of the substrate is smaller than the width of the fork-shaped column.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present utility model uses a reset elastic member to enable the columns surrounding the battery cells to automatically expand and contract according to the size of the battery cells, so as to be suitable for carrying and using battery cells of different sizes. At the same time, this structure can timely adjust and correct the position of the battery cells when the battery cells are offset, so that the end sides of the battery cells are aligned, preventing the damaged and offset battery cells from being damaged during the accumulation of the top battery cells.

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following implementation manners do not limit the invention involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of the features described in the implementation manners are not necessarily required for the solution of the invention.

[0027] The principle and structure of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , and 3, a solar cell tray includes: a substrate 1, the upper surface of the substrate 1 is used for carrying solar cells; columns 2, several of the columns 2 are distributed circumferentially on the substrate 1, and the columns 2 limit the movement of the solar cells in a direction parallel to the substrate 1; a sliding assembly, the columns 2 are slidably connected to the substrate 1 through the sliding assembly, and the sliding assembly includes: a reset elastic member, and the reset elastic member enables several of the columns 2 to slide in a direction of approaching each other.

[0030] Several solar cells can be stacked up and down on the substrate 1, so as to realize the transportation of the solar cells at each work station through the tray. The columns 2 surround the solar cells to prevent the solar cells from moving in a direction parallel to the substrate 1, so that the solar cells are fixed in the tray.

[0031] The sliding assembly of this embodiment further includes a chute 31. A guide rod 4 is arranged in the chute 31. The lower end of the column 2 is located in the chute 31. A sliding hole that slidably cooperates with the guide rod 4 is arranged on the lower end of the column 2, so that the column 2 can slide along the guide rod 4. The reset elastic member is supported between the chute 31 and the column 2. The reset elastic member of this embodiment is a cylindrical spring 5. The cylindrical spring 5 provides a supporting force for the column, so that the column 2 moves towards the middle of the substrate 1, thereby clamping the battery cells on the substrate 1 between the columns 2, preventing the battery cells from moving, and enabling the end sides of the stacked battery cells to be aligned.

[0032] The chute 31 is arranged on an independent module. The module is detachably connected to the substrate 1. The module is an independent frame 3. The space inside the frame 3 is the chute 31. An installation groove 11 for fixing the frame 3 is arranged on the side of the substrate 1. The frame 3 is detachably connected to the side of the substrate 1 through bolts 6. In this way, the column 2 and the sliding assembly form a relatively independent structure, which is convenient for replacement.

[0033] A buffer layer is arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 1. The buffer layer has a buffering effect on the battery cells to prevent damage when the battery cells fall. The buffer layer of this embodiment is a flexible plate 7 made of silica gel fixed on the substrate 1. A material reduction groove 71 is arranged in the middle of the flexible plate 7 to facilitate saving the material of silica gel and reducing the weight of the tray.

[0034] The upper end of the column 2 has a guiding inclined surface 21 facing the middle of the substrate 1, which plays a guiding role for the battery cells to enter between the columns 2. The side of the battery cell falls along the guiding inclined surface 21, exerting a pushing effect on the column 2. This pushing effect overcomes the elastic force of the cylindrical spring 5, so that the columns 2 move away from each other, thereby facilitating the battery cells to fall onto the flexible plate 7 on the substrate 1.

[0035] When the battery cells enter between the columns 2, the columns 2 cooperate with the cylindrical spring 5 in the movable groove to absorb energy and retract. After the battery cells fall, the restoring force of the cylindrical spring 5 pushes the battery cells to achieve a reset and positioning effect.

[0036] A buffer structure is arranged on the side of the column 2 facing the middle of the substrate 1 to provide buffering for the side of the battery cell.

[0037] The buffer structure includes a groove 22 provided on the side of the column 2, and an elastic stopper 8 covers the notch of the groove 22, so that the elastic stopper 8 can be deformed in the direction of the notch of the groove 22. In this embodiment, the elastic stopper 8 is a thin-walled outer shell 10 sleeved on the column 2. The outer shell is relatively thin, so that it has the ability of bending deformation during movement. When the outer shell is pressed by the side of the battery cell, it can bend a certain amount towards the groove 22, so as to play a supporting role. The thin-walled outer shell 10 in this embodiment is a strip-shaped body. One end of the strip-shaped body is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 2, and the other end bypasses the upper end of the support column and is fixedly connected to the back of the column 2 through a bolt 6.

[0038] Several of the columns 2 include fork-shaped columns 2, that is, there are notches 23 in the middle of some of the columns 2 in the up-down direction. The notches 23 divide the upper part of the column 2 into two juxtaposed column heads in the direction parallel to the plate surface of the substrate 1, so that the support column is similar to the structure of a fork. The notch 23 can reduce the weight of the column 2, so that the support column can have a wider size, which is convenient for fixing the battery cell.

[0039] The substrate 1 in this embodiment is a rectangular plate body. Two of the columns 2 are provided on the long side of the substrate 1, and one of the columns 2 is provided on the wide side of the substrate 1. The long side of the substrate 1 is relatively long and suitable for setting two of the columns 2. The width angle of the substrate 1 is small. If two of the columns 2 are set, the distance between the two columns 2 is small. If one of the columns 2 is set, the width of one column 2 is small, which is not conducive to the limit and protection of the end side of the battery cell. Therefore, the column 2 on the wide side of the substrate 1 in this embodiment is the fork-shaped column 2, and the width of the column 2 on the long side of the substrate 1 is smaller than the width of the fork-shaped column 2, so as to use one column 2 to realize the limit and protection of the end side of the battery cell and reduce the weight of the tray at the same time. In order to reduce the weight, a weight-reducing waist-shaped groove 24 is also provided on the column 2.

[0040] A bottom plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the substrate 1, so that the substrate 1 can be placed or installed on other objects through the bottom plate 9.

[0041] The specific embodiments described herein are only examples to illustrate the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0042] Although this text uses some terms more frequently, it does not exclude the possibility of using other terms. The use of these terms is only for more conveniently describing and explaining the essence of the present utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the present utility model. For the execution order of actions, steps, etc. in the devices and methods shown in the specification and drawings, as long as there is no specific explicit order limitation and the output of the previous process is not used in the subsequent process, they can be implemented in any order. The use of similar sequential terms (such as "first", "then", "secondly", "again", "then", etc.) for convenience of description does not mean that they must be implemented in such an order.

[0043] Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that all directional references (such as above, below, upward, up, downward, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are descriptively used in the drawings to assist the reader in understanding, and do not represent (such as for position, orientation, or use, etc.) a limitation on the scope of the present utility model defined by the appended claims. It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Without contrary instructions, these directional terms do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. The directional terms "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0044] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above...", "over...", "on the upper surface of...", "above-mentioned", etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature shown in the figure and other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation other than the orientation described in the figure for the device. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "over other devices or structures" will then be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "under other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above..." can include both the orientations of "above..." and "below...". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and corresponding interpretations should be made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.

[0045] In addition, some ambiguous terms (such as substantially, certain, generally, etc.) can refer to slight inaccuracies or slight deviations in conditions, quantities, values, or dimensions, some of which are within the manufacturing deviations or tolerances. It should be noted that the use of terms such as "first", "second", etc. to limit components is only for the convenience of differentiating the corresponding components. Without additional statements, the above terms have no special meanings, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of this application.
