Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cell processing, and in particular relates to a composite photovoltaic cell welding strip pressing tool. Background Art

[0002] String welding is an important part of the photovoltaic module production process, which involves connecting multiple photovoltaic cells in series through tin-coated copper strips (commonly known as welding strips) to form a complete circuit. Photovoltaic cell welding strip clamping tooling is indispensable in the cell welding process. It ensures the smooth progress of the welding process through precise positioning, fixation and pressure control, which is of great significance to improving the performance and reliability of photovoltaic modules.

[0003] At present, in the photovoltaic industry, there are roughly two types of solder ribbon pressing tools, one is the large pressing needle tool, and the other is the small pressing needle tool, also known as the dense pressing needle tool. This type of tool can only match the same type of cells with PAD points. In recent years, 0BB busbarless cells have been widely promoted in the photovoltaic industry. In order to better weld busbarless cells, some busbarless cells have adopted the design of retaining the PAD points at both ends and canceling the middle pad point. With the development of cell technology, there may be cells with uneven distribution of PAD points, and the traditional large pressing needle tool or small pressing needle tool can no longer meet the welding requirements of such cells. The large pressing needle tool will cause poor welding such as cold welding and over-welding at positions where the PAD point is small or absent; while the small pressing needle tool will cause poor welding such as cold welding and over-welding at normal PAD points. Therefore, the existing solder ribbon pressing tool can no longer fully match the welding requirements of cells with different PAD requirements.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a composite photovoltaic cell strip pressing tool to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 as shown, the present utility model provides a composite solder tape pressing tooling for photovoltaic cells, including a tooling frame 1, fixed clamps 2 located on both sides of the tooling frame 1, and a plurality of pressing needles elastically connected to the tooling frame 1 in a rectangular array; wherein, the tooling frame 1 includes a plurality of frame longitudinal beams 12 arranged at equal intervals in the transverse direction, and a plurality of frame cross beams 11 arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. The frame cross beams 11 and the frame longitudinal beams 12 are vertically and crosswise arranged in a grid pattern and form a plurality of hollow parts 13; the hollow parts 13 can facilitate the passage of light during welding, enabling the light to directly irradiate the battery cells. Both the frame cross beams 11 and the frame longitudinal beams 12 are narrow strip structures with a small width; the same number of pressing needles are equally spaced on each of the frame cross beams 11. The pressing needles are divided into a first pressing needle 3 and a second pressing needle 4. The first pressing needle 3 is a large pressing needle, and the second pressing needle 4 is a small pressing needle. The size of the first pressing needle 3 is larger than that of the second pressing needle 4. The first pressing needle 3 is used to press the solder tape at the position corresponding to the PAD point on the photovoltaic cell, and the second pressing needle 4 is used to press the solder tape at the position without a PAD point on the photovoltaic cell.

[0028] In the above embodiments, the tooling frame 1 is integrally formed, made of stainless steel, having good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and having sufficient mechanical strength. The two sides of the tooling frame 1 are fixedly connected with the fixed clamps 2, and the fixed clamps 2 are provided with anti-slip pads. Two anti-slip pads are evenly distributed on each fixed clamp 2, and the four anti-slip pads are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the two fixed clamps 2 to help accurately position and improve accuracy.

[0029] In the above embodiments, several pressure pins are distributed in rows / columns on the tooling frame 1, and the downward compression strokes of the multiple pressure pins located in the same row or the same column are the same.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the pressure pin head 31 has a circular downward pressing surface, and the circular downward pressing surface is provided with grid patterns. The downward pressing surface adopts a grid pattern structure, which can adapt to different shapes of welding tapes. For example, when pressing a circular welding tape, the grid patterns can better form a tight press to prevent the welding tape from shifting.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the pressure pins on the two frame crossbeams 11 at the edge of the tooling frame 1 are all the first pressure pins 3, and the pressure pins on the remaining frame crossbeams 11 are all the second pressure pins 4. The welding tape pressing tooling with this structure can be applied to some main-gridless solar cells. This part of the main-gridless solar cells adopts a structural design of retaining the two-end PAD points and canceling the middle PAD points. For this structure, in this specific embodiment, the pressure pins adopt a layout method with large pressure pins at the edge and small pressure pins in the middle. The large pressure pins at the edge are used to press the positions with PAD points, and the small pressure pins in the middle are used to press the positions without PAD points, which can well match the welding tapes and solar cells at the corresponding positions and avoid problems such as welding tape shifting during welding.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the frame longitudinal beam 12 extends outwards on both sides at the position between two adjacent frame crossbeams 11 to form auxiliary crossbeams 14, and the second pressure pins 4 are connected to the auxiliary crossbeams 14. This structural design can reduce the number of frame crossbeams 11 and increase the area of the hollow part 13, which can not only reduce the material cost of the tooling but also be of great help in improving the welding quality.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the pressure pins are detachably elastically connected to the tooling frame 1. The pressure pins are elastically connected to the tooling frame 1 along their downward pressing directions. Specifically, a number of stepped holes penetrating through the upper and lower parts are equally spaced along the length direction of the frame crossbeam 11. The pressure pin includes a pressure pin rod 32 elastically penetrating through the stepped holes. One end of the pressure pin rod 32 is fixedly connected with the pressure pin head 31, and the other end is connected with a limiting member 33 whose outer diameter is larger than the stepped hole.

[0034] Further, a spring is sleeved outside the needle pressing rod 32 above the needle pressing head 31. One end of the spring is fixedly connected inside the stepped hole, and the other end abuts against the surface of the needle pressing head 31 facing the stepped hole.

[0035] In view of the problem that the existing solder ribbon pressing tooling on the market cannot meet the welding requirements of OBB non-main grid solar cells, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a composite photovoltaic cell solder ribbon pressing tooling. During actual production and use, according to the cell screen printing plate, the composite pressing needle is customized and used on the string welding machine. The pressing needle just presses the corresponding solder ribbon and the solar cell, avoiding problems such as solder ribbon deviation during welding. Moreover, the pressing needle will not affect the glue printing effect. The large pressing needle can prevent virtual soldering at the PAD point welding part of the dispensing, resulting in EL shadows. The small pressing needle can prevent virtual soldering at the non-PAD point welding part of the dispensing, resulting in EL shadows, significantly improving the welding quality of the entire solar cell.
