Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a containing device, in particular to a flower basket for the cleaning and drying process of battery wafers. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of TOPCON battery wafers, the battery wafers after being etched by chemicals need to be cleaned in a water tank. During the cleaning process, the battery wafers are placed in a flower basket for cleaning.

[0003] The cleaned battery wafers need to be dried. However, in the current actual production conditions, due to the position of the battery wafers in the flower basket and the material of the flower basket, when drying in the drying tank of the tank type machine, the current drying time cannot dry the position where the flower basket rod contacts the battery wafers, thus forming "liquid carrying". If the drying time is too long, it will affect the operation efficiency of the entire machine, resulting in a significant reduction in output and causing the previous chemical tank to exceed the time limit.

[0004] To solve this problem, it is hoped to slowly lift and obliquely pull the flower basket after cleaning. One adopted solution is to add a cylinder to the hook of the robotic arm for lifting the flower basket, so as to raise the middle part of the flower basket. However, this requires additional modification of the robotic arm, thus increasing the equipment cost. In addition, the cylinder is also easily damaged during long-term operation. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flower basket for battery wafers, which is based on improving the structure of the flower basket, enabling it to cooperate with the robotic arm for lifting the flower basket, making the operation of the robotic arm more stable, and achieving the effect of slow lifting and oblique pulling without changing the structure of the robotic arm, thus avoiding the problem of "liquid carrying".

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a flower basket for battery wafers, which includes a top plate and a bottom plate, and flower basket rods connected between the top plate and the bottom plate; wherein:

[0007] A first hook part and a second hook part are provided on the top plate, and the second hook part is arranged below the first hook part;

[0008] At least a first hook part is also provided on the bottom plate, and the position of the first hook part on the bottom plate corresponds to the position of the first hook part on the top plate;

[0009] The connection line between the second hook part on the top plate and the first hook part on the bottom plate is inclined with respect to the horizontally arranged flower basket rod.

[0010] In this way, when the robotic arm is used to lift the flower basket, the lifting point of the robotic arm is located at the second hanging portion on the top plate and the first hook portion on the bottom plate. This causes the flower basket to tilt along its length direction, allowing the liquid to flow down along the inclined flower basket rod, thus effectively avoiding the problem of "liquid carrying".

[0011] When the slow lifting and oblique pulling operation of the flower basket is not required, the lifting point of the robotic arm can also be located at the first hanging portion on the top plate and the first hook portion on the bottom plate. In this case, the flower basket is horizontal along its length direction.

[0012] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, a second hook portion is also provided on the bottom plate below the first hook portion.

[0013] In this embodiment, when the robotic arm is used to lift the flower basket, the lifting point of the robotic arm can be located at the first hanging portion on the top plate and the second hook portion on the bottom plate. This also causes the flower basket to tilt along its length direction, except that the tilting direction is opposite to the tilting direction described above.

[0014] Similarly, in this embodiment, the connection line between the second hook portion on the bottom plate and the first hook portion on the top plate is inclined with respect to the flower basket rod.

[0015] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, the end of the second hook portion retracts inward relative to the end of the first hook portion.

[0016] In this embodiment, the end position of the second hook portion in the lower layer retracts inward relative to the first hook portion in the upper layer, that is, it is relatively shorter. This is beneficial for the robotic arm to lift the flower basket and be able to interchangeably use the two hooks in different slots, and the second hook portion in the lower layer does not affect the use of the first hook portion in the upper layer, that is, interference between the two is avoided.

[0017] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, the second hook portion is arc-shaped.

[0018] In this embodiment, the second hook portion is arc-shaped, which has better usability compared to a straight hook.

[0019] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, a plurality of teeth are provided on the flower basket rod along its length direction.

[0020] These teeth can be used to fix and position the battery wafers placed in the flower basket.

[0021] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, a card slot for fixed installation is provided at the bottom of the top plate and / or the bottom plate.

[0022] In this embodiment, the card slot can be adapted to the corresponding protrusions of other devices of the peripheral device, so as to stably place the flower basket on other devices.

[0023] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, a lever hole for arranging a lever is provided on the upper part of the top plate and / or the bottom plate.

[0024] In some cases, when the flower basket containing battery wafers is placed in the tank for cleaning, the battery wafers may float under the action of buoyancy. To effectively prevent this situation, lever holes can be provided on the flower basket, and then levers parallel to the flower basket rods are arranged on the lever holes to prevent the battery wafers from floating up.

[0025] Furthermore, in the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, clamping holes are provided on the top plate and / or the bottom plate.

[0026] The provision of the clamping holes facilitates the grasping and clamping of the flower basket by other peripheral devices.

[0027] The flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0028] The flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model, based on the improvement of the structure of the flower basket, enables it to cooperate with the robotic arm for lifting the flower basket, making the operation of the robotic arm more stable. Without changing the structure of the robotic arm, the effect of slow lifting and oblique pulling can be achieved, thus avoiding the problem of "liquid carrying".

[0029] The flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model can quickly drip most of the liquid on the flower basket rods from a technological perspective, so as to reduce the drying time when the flower basket enters the drying tank and can also reduce the power consumption within a certain range.

[0030] The flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model has a simple structure and low cost. Description of the Drawings

[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model in an embodiment.

[0032] Figure 2 It is an end view of the top plate of the flower basket for battery wafers of the present utility model in an embodiment. Detailed Embodiments

[0033] The following will further explain and illustrate the flower basket for battery wafers according to the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific embodiments. However, such explanation and illustration shall not unduly limit the technical solution of the present utility model.

[0034] During the production process of TOPCON battery wafers, the battery wafers after being etched by chemicals need to be cleaned in a water tank. During the cleaning process, the battery wafers are placed in a flower basket for cleaning.

[0035] The cleaned battery wafers need to be dried. However, in the current actual production conditions, due to the position of the battery wafers in the flower basket and the material of the flower basket, when drying in the drying tank of the trough machine, the current drying time cannot dry the position where the flower basket rod contacts the battery wafer, thus forming "liquid retention". If the drying time is too long, it will affect the operation efficiency of the entire machine, resulting in a significant reduction in output and causing the chemical trough in the front part to exceed the time limit.

[0036] To solve this problem, it is desired to slowly lift and obliquely pull the flower basket after cleaning. One adopted solution is to add a cylinder to the hook of the robotic arm for lifting the flower basket, so as to raise the middle part of the flower basket. However, this requires additional modification of the robotic arm, thus increasing the equipment cost. In addition, the cylinder is also easily damaged during long-term operation.

[0037] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present utility model, a flower basket for battery wafers is provided, aiming to achieve slow lifting and oblique pulling by improving the structure of the flower basket.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the flower basket for battery wafers according to the present utility model in one embodiment.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the flower basket may include a top plate 1 and a bottom plate 2, and a plurality of flower basket rods 3 are connected between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2.

[0040] Among them, a first hook portion 11 and a second hook portion 12 are provided on the top plate 1, and the second hook portion 12 is provided below the first hook portion 11. At least a first hook portion 11 is also provided on the bottom plate 2, and the position of the first hook portion 11 on the bottom plate corresponds to the position of the first hook portion 11 on the top plate. This correspondence means that the first hook portion 11 on the bottom plate and the first hook portion 11 on the top plate are arranged in pairs. In some embodiments, if the projection of the top plate first hook portion on the bottom plate, it substantially coincides with the first hook portion at the upper end of the bottom plate.

[0041] In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the connection line between the second hook portion 12 on the top plate 1 and the first hook portion 11 on the bottom plate ( Figure 1The dashed line L) therein is inclined with respect to the flower basket rod 3.

[0042] In this way, when a robotic arm (not shown in the figure) is used to lift the flower basket, the lifting point of the robotic arm is located at the second hanging portion on the top plate (the left end point of the dashed line L) and the first hook portion on the bottom plate (the right end point of the dashed line L). Since the second hook portion 12 of the top plate in the lower layer is lower than the first hook portion of the bottom plate provided on the opposite side, a slope will be formed along the length direction of the flower basket during use. Thus, when slowly lifting and obliquely pulling, the liquid will slide down along the inclined flower basket rod 3 towards the lower end due to gravity, so that most of the liquid on the flower basket rod can drip quickly, effectively avoiding the problem of "carrying liquid".

[0043] When the operation of slowly lifting and obliquely pulling the flower basket is not required, the lifting point of the robotic arm can also be located at the first hook portion 11 on the top plate 1 and the first hook portion 11 on the bottom plate 2. In this case, the flower basket is horizontal along its length direction, that is, the flower basket rod is also horizontal.

[0044] According to this hint, when the robotic arm is lifting the basket, two hook portions with different heights can be exchanged and used in different slots based on different process requirements.

[0045] In some other embodiments, a second hook portion can also be provided on the bottom plate 2 below the first hook portion 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the robotic arm is used to lift the flower basket, the lifting point of the robotic arm can be located at the first hanging portion on the top plate and the second hook portion on the bottom plate, which also causes the flower basket to be inclined along its length direction, only the inclined direction is opposite to the inclined direction described above.

[0047] Similarly, in this embodiment, the connection line between the second hook portion on the bottom plate and the first hook portion 11 on the top plate 1 is also inclined with respect to the flower basket rod.

[0048] Figure 2 This is an end view of the top plate of the flower basket for battery wafers according to the present utility model in an embodiment.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, it can be seen that both ends in the width direction of the top plate have a first hook portion 11 and a second hook portion 12 located below the first hook portion.

[0050] In some preferred embodiments, the end of the second hook portion 12 is relatively retracted inward with respect to the end of the first hook portion, that is, the extension length of the second hook portion in the width ( Figure 2 the left - right direction in Figure 2In [the figure], the end of the second hook portion 12 shown on the left retracts inward relative to the end of the first hook portion, while the end of the second hook portion 12 on the right does not retract inward. This is to better show this difference in the figure. In a specific embodiment, in an embodiment with the inward retraction feature, it is desired that the second hook portions at both ends retract inward, rather than only one end retracting inward.

[0051] In this embodiment, the end position of the second hook portion 12 located in the lower layer retracts inward relative to the first hook portion 11 located in the upper layer, that is, it is relatively short. This is beneficial for the robotic arm to lift the flower basket, enabling the two hooks to be used interchangeably in different slots, and the second hook portion 12 in the lower layer does not affect the use of the first hook portion 11 in the upper layer, that is, interference between the two is avoided.

[0052] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the second hook portion 12 is arc-shaped. The second hook portion being arc-shaped has better usability compared to a straight hook.

[0053] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , in some more specific embodiments, a plurality of teeth 31 are provided on the flower basket rod 3 and are distributed along its length direction. These teeth 31 have a fixed spacing between each other. When the battery wafers are placed in the flower basket, these teeth 31 can fix and position the battery wafers placed in the flower basket.

[0054] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a card slot 13 for fixed installation is provided at the bottom of the top plate. Similarly, a card slot for fixed installation is also provided at the bottom of the bottom plate.

[0055] In this embodiment, the card slot 13 can be adapted to the corresponding protrusions of other external devices, so as to stably place the flower basket on other devices.

[0056] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a pressure bar hole 14 for setting a pressure bar can be provided at the upper part of the top plate. Similarly, a pressure bar hole is also provided at the bottom of the bottom plate.

[0057] This is because, in some cases, when the flower basket containing the battery wafers is placed in the slot for cleaning, the battery wafers may float under the action of buoyancy. To effectively prevent this situation, a pressure bar hole 14 can be provided on the flower basket, and then a pressure bar (not shown in the figure) parallel to the flower basket rod 3 can be set on the flower basket through the pressure bar hole, which can effectively prevent the battery wafers from floating up.

[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, a clamping hole 15 may be provided on the top plate. Similarly, a clamping hole may also be provided on the bottom plate. The number of the clamping holes may be provided based on needs, such as two, three or five. The provision of the clamping holes facilitates other peripheral devices to grasp and clamp the flower basket.

[0059] It can be seen that the utility model only improves the structure of the flower basket itself so that it can cooperate with the mechanical arm that lifts the flower basket. Without changing the structure of the mechanical arm, the effect of slow lifting and oblique pulling can be achieved, thereby avoiding the problem of "liquid carrying".

[0060] The flower basket for battery sheets of the utility model can quickly drip most of the liquid on the flower basket rod from a process point of view, thereby reducing the drying time when the flower basket enters the drying tank and reducing the consumption of electric energy within a certain range.

[0061] The flower basket for battery sheets of the utility model has a simple structure and low cost.
