[0002] Solar cells are usually made from silicon wafers through processes such as cleaning and texturing, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, and screen printing. In the PVD coating process, the silicon wafer needs to be placed on a carrier plate, and the carrier plate acts as a carrier to hold the silicon wafer, and then a thin film is coated on the silicon wafer through a coating device. For example, Chinese patent document CN205258601U discloses a silicon wafer carrier plate for bottom coating.

[0003] In the prior art, the manufacturing steps of the carrier plate are as follows: a plurality of vertical plates arranged in a crisscross pattern are provided on a bottom plate, and a plurality of coating windows are formed by surrounding the vertical plates.

[0020] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted here that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] Refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a wafer carrier calibration platform includes two support rods 1 arranged at intervals. A scissor-type folding frame 2 is arranged between the two support rods 1. A plurality of translation plates 3 are fixedly arranged on the scissor-type folding frame 2 at equal intervals. The telescopic movement of the scissor-type folding frame 2 drives the plurality of translation plates 3 to open or close relative to each other in a translational manner; a plurality of calibration positioning blocks 4 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the translation plate 3 in an adjustable manner along its length direction. The size of the calibration positioning block 4 is the same as the size of the coating window a3 of the carrier.

[0022] During use, by adjusting the distance between the calibration positioning blocks 4 on the translation plate 3, and then adjusting the distance between the two translation plates 3, when placing the calibration platform of the present utility model on the bottom plate a1, draw a line around the calibration positioning blocks 4 on the bottom plate a1, and then paste or weld the vertical plate a2 along the drawn line. In another way, the vertical plate a2 is directly pasted or welded around the calibration positioning blocks 4. The distance between the two coating windows a3 after manufacturing can be adjusted through the scissor-type folding frame 2, so that the distance between the coating windows a3 can be adjusted to a suitable distance, which can prevent the wafer from being affected by the too close or too far distance between the coating windows a3 during coating, and ensure the accurate size of the coating windows a3.

[0023] The calibration positioning block 4 is in the shape of a cuboid or a cube, so as to be adapted to the size of the coating window a3.

[0024] The number of calibration positioning blocks 4 is the same as the number of coating windows a3 of the carrier. The vertical plate a2 is positioned at multiple points through the plurality of calibration positioning blocks 4 to ensure the flatness of the vertical plate a2.

[0025] The scissor folding frame 2 includes a number of first inclined plates 21 and second inclined plates 22 arranged crosswise. The middle parts of the first inclined plate 21 and the second inclined plate 22 are hinged to each other through a first rotating shaft 23, and the ends are hinged to each other through a second rotating shaft 24. Moreover, the first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the translation plate 3, and the second rotating shaft 24 is slidably connected to the end of the translation plate 3. The translation plate 3 is provided with a guiding groove 32, and a pulley 25 embedded in the guiding groove 32 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 24. By connecting with the translation plate 3 through three rotating shafts, the movement of the translation plate 3 is made more stable.

[0026] It further includes a number of ejector rods 5. The ejector rods 5 are threadedly connected to the support rods 1, and one end of the ejector rod 5 abuts against the scissor folding frame 2. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the number of the ejector rods 5 is eight. One end of the ejector rod 5 abuts against the first inclined plate 21 and the second inclined plate 22, so that the scissor folding frame 2 is locked through the ejector rod 5 after adjustment. One end of the ejector rod 5 abuts against the first inclined plate 21 and the second inclined plate 22, so that the scissor folding frame 2 cannot perform telescopic work, thereby keeping the distance between the calibration positioning blocks 4 fixed.

[0027] Both the translation plate 3 and the scissor folding frame 2 are made of a transparent material. The transparent material can adopt existing materials such as acrylic plates and transparent plastic plates. The translation plate 3 and the scissor folding frame 2 are made of a transparent material to facilitate observing the positional relationship between the calibration positioning blocks 4 and the vertical plate a2.

[0028] It further includes a first bolt (not shown in the figure). The translation plate 3 is provided with a first long groove 31, and the first bolt passes through the first long groove 31 and is connected to the calibration positioning block 4. The first bolt is preferably a countersunk head bolt, which can prevent the bolt head of the first bolt from interfering with the pulley 25, so that the calibration positioning block 4 is adjustably fixed to the translation plate 3 along the length direction of the translation plate 3.
