Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solar cell testing equipment, and particularly relates to a testing device for a main-grid-free solar cell and a solar cell testing system. Background Art

[0002] Solar cells can be divided into main-grid solar cells and main-grid-free solar cells. Among them, the electrodes of the main-grid solar cells are divided into main grid lines and sub-grid lines. The main grid lines are parallel to each other, and the sub-grid lines are also parallel to each other. The main grid lines and the sub-grid lines are perpendicular to each other. The sub-grid lines are used to collect the current generated by the cell, and the current on the sub-grid lines is further collected through the main grid lines. Then, the current is further led out through the solder tape connected to the main grid line for power generation of the photovoltaic module.

[0003] The main-grid-free solar cell has no main grid lines. This structure reduces the consumption of precious metals, thereby reducing the production cost of the cell. In addition, during the production process, the sub-grid lines perpendicular to the main grid lines are also prone to breakpoints, which may cause bad conditions such as broken grids or leakage. The main-grid-free solar cell can reduce the occurrence of such bad conditions.

[0004] Before leaving the factory, solar cells need to be tested for voltage and current. The existing I-V (current-voltage) test for main-grid-free solar cells mainly uses a copper wire pressing test device. A certain number of copper wire probes are used on the front of this device to contact the fine grids on the solar cell, and a copper bottom plate with a certain thickness and arc is used on the back of the device to collect the current and voltage parameters on the back; in addition, conductive bars such as copper bars, tinned welding rods, and silver bars can be welded under the copper wire probes to replace the main grid lines to collect the current on the fine grid lines.

[0005] However, during the use of the copper wire probes, the tension of the copper wire probes themselves is difficult to recover in time within the beat of cell sorting as the number of tests increases, resulting in low test accuracy and high device maintenance costs, making it difficult to promote and use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model provides a testing device for a main-grid-free solar cell, aiming to solve the problems of low test accuracy and high maintenance cost of the existing I-V testing device for main-grid-free solar cells.

[0007] The embodiment of the utility model is implemented as follows. A testing device for a main-grid-free solar cell includes:

[0010] The probe contact component, the probe contact component includes a plurality of trapezoidal contact parts respectively connected to a plurality of telescopic parts, the plurality of trapezoidal contact parts are arranged alternately in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the positive and negative fine grids on the main-gridless solar cell are arranged alternately.

[0011] Further, the trapezoidal contact part and the telescopic part are of an integral structure.

[0012] Further, both the trapezoidal contact part and the telescopic part are metal contact conductive materials.

[0030] The test device for a main-grid-free solar cell of the present application includes a probe row bracket, a plurality of telescopic components arranged on the probe row bracket; and a probe contact component. The probe contact component includes a plurality of trapezoidal contact parts respectively connected to the plurality of telescopic components in one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of trapezoidal contact parts are alternately arranged and distributed in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the positive fine grids and negative fine grids on the main-grid-free solar cell are alternately arranged and distributed.

At the same time, the trapezoidal contact parts can be completely pressed onto the fine grids, reducing the probability of inaccurate test results caused by the imperfect fit between the test probes and the fine grids, and improving the test accuracy.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a test device for a main-grid-free solar cell, including:

[0033] A probe row bracket 100;

[0034] A plurality of telescopic components 200 arranged on the probe row bracket 100; and

[0035] The probe contact component includes a plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 that are respectively connected to a plurality of telescopic parts 200 one by one. The plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 are arranged alternately in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the positive and negative fine grids on the main-gridless solar cell 500 are arranged alternately.

[0036] A main-gridless solar cell refers to a solar cell that only has secondary grid lines. The secondary grid lines include positive fine grids and negative fine grids, and the positive fine grids and negative fine grids are arranged alternately in sequence. That is to say, there is a negative fine grid between two adjacent positive fine grids. Similarly, there is a positive fine grid between two adjacent negative fine grids.

[0037] The probe row bracket 100 can be regarded as the mounting base of the telescopic parts 200, that is, a plurality of telescopic parts 200 are fixedly installed on the probe row bracket 100.

[0038] Optionally, the telescopic parts 200 are integrally strip-shaped. A plurality of telescopic parts 200 are installed on the lower surface of the probe row bracket 100, and the main-gridless solar cell is located below the probe row bracket 100. By driving the probe row bracket 100 to move up and down, the telescopic parts 200 are driven to move up and down, so that the telescopic parts 200 drive the trapezoidal contact parts 300 to contact the positive and negative fine grids of the main-gridless solar cell, and then the subsequent voltage and current test processes can be carried out.

[0039] It should be noted that the installation of the telescopic parts 200 on the lower surface of the probe row bracket 100 is an example of an embodiment of the present application, rather than a specific limitation on the present application. In some other embodiments, the telescopic parts 200 can also be installed at other positions of the probe row bracket 100. For example, the telescopic parts 200 are installed on the right surface of the probe row bracket 100. During the test, the main-gridless solar cell can be placed on the right side of the probe row bracket 100. By driving the probe row bracket 100 to move left and right, the trapezoidal contact parts 300 are brought into contact with the positive and negative fine grids of the main-gridless solar cell, so as to carry out the subsequent voltage and current test processes.

[0040] The telescopic parts 200 can be telescopic sleeves or other parts with certain telescopic deformation ability, which is not limited.

[0041] When a telescopic sleeve is adopted, the telescopic component 200 includes a first sleeve 210 and a second sleeve 220. The first sleeve 210 is connected to the probe row bracket 100, and the second sleeve 220 is connected to the trapezoidal contact part 300. The first sleeve 210 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second sleeve 220, or the second sleeve 220 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first sleeve 210. An elastic component such as a spring is arranged between the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220 so that the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220 can perform a certain degree of telescopic movement.

[0042] The trapezoidal contact part 300 is integrally in the shape of a frustum of a pyramid. The cross-section of the trapezoidal contact part 300 is trapezoidal. The first side bottom surface of the trapezoidal contact part 300 is connected to the telescopic component 200, and the second side bottom surface of the trapezoidal contact part 300 is used for contact connection with the fine grid.

[0043] During implementation, the trapezoidal contact part 300 can be electrically connected to the circuit board of the test system through a connecting wire. When the probe row bracket 100 moves towards the main-gridless solar cell, the trapezoidal contact part 300 contacts the positive fine grid and the negative fine grid on the main-gridless solar cell. The probe row bracket 100 further moves towards the main-gridless solar cell, and the first sleeve 210 and the second sleeve 220 are compressed under the action of the probe row bracket 100 and the trapezoidal contact part 300. At this time, the trapezoidal contact part 300 abuts against the positive fine grid and the negative fine grid on the main-gridless solar cell under the action of the telescopic component 200. The abutting pressure between the trapezoidal contact part 300 and the fine grid is appropriate, which will not damage the fine grid, and at the same time, the trapezoidal contact part 300 can be closely attached to the fine grid, so as to form a good contact with the fine grid and ensure the accuracy of the test results.

[0044] The test device for the main-gridless solar cell of the present application includes a probe row bracket 100, a plurality of telescopic components 200 arranged on the probe row bracket 100; and a probe contact component. The probe contact component includes a plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 connected to the plurality of telescopic components 200 one by one. The plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 are alternately arranged in sequence along the first direction. The first direction is the direction in which the positive fine grid and the negative fine grid on the main-gridless cell 500 are alternately arranged. By connecting the trapezoidal contact part 300 through the telescopic component 200, when the trapezoidal contact part 300 contacts the fine grid on the main-gridless cell 500, the telescopic component 200 can elastically expand and contract, avoiding damage to the main-gridless cell 500, with simple maintenance and control of the maintenance cost. At the same time, the trapezoidal contact part 300 can be completely pressed onto the fine grid, reducing the probability of inaccurate test results caused by the poor fit between the test probe and the fine grid and improving the test accuracy.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 are of an integrated structure. By integrally designing the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200, the structural strength of the testing device can be effectively improved and the service life can be extended.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, both the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 are made of metal contact conductive materials. By making the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 of metal contact conductive materials, an electrical transmission channel is formed by the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200, and no additional wires need to be provided, thus saving hardware costs.

[0047] In some alternative embodiments, both the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 are provided with a gold plating layer or a silver plating layer. By plating gold or silver on the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200, the resistance of the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 can be effectively reduced, the energy loss and voltage drop in the electrical signal transmission can be reduced, and the quality and stability of the signal transmission can be improved. In addition, the gold plating layer or the silver plating layer can provide protection for the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200, effectively preventing the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200 from oxidation and corrosion, and extending the service life of the trapezoidal contact portion 300 and the telescopic member 200.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the testing device for the main-gridless solar cell provided in the present application further includes a testing stage 400, and the testing stage 400 is used to carry the main-gridless cell 500. The main-gridless cell 500 is the main-gridless solar cell to be tested, and the above-mentioned positive grid line and negative grid line are provided on the main-gridless cell 500, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] The main-gridless cell 500 is placed on the testing stage 400 to fix its position, so that the trapezoidal contact portion 300 can better abut against the fine grid on the main-gridless cell 500. Optionally, the testing stage 400 includes any one of a copper stage or a transparent glass stage, which is not limited.

[0050] In addition, the testing stage 400 can be provided with a limiting structure, and the limiting structure can be a clamping member or a limiting groove, etc., which is not limited. The position of the main-gridless cell 500 is fixed by the limiting structure, so that the trapezoidal contact portion 300 accurately contacts the fine grid on the main-gridless cell 500. For example, the trapezoidal contact portion 300 of the positive electrode abuts against and contacts the positive fine grid, and the trapezoidal contact portion 300 of the negative electrode abuts against and contacts the negative fine grid, ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0051] In some alternative embodiments, the test device for the main-gridless solar cell provided by the present application further includes a driving component (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the probe row bracket 100 and is used to drive the probe row bracket 100 to reciprocate between approaching and departing from the test stage 400.

[0052] The driving component refers to a device or component that can output power to drive the movement of the probe row bracket 100. For example, the driving component can be any one of a cylinder, a motor, and a lead screw assembly, without limitation.

[0053] In some embodiments, the probe row bracket 100 is provided with mounting holes 110, and the driving component is connected to the probe row bracket 100 through the mounting holes 110, with a simple and reliable structure and convenient for later maintenance.

[0056] Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that for the convenience and conciseness of description, the structure and implementation principle of the solar cell test system described above can refer to the corresponding structure and implementation principle in the first embodiment described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0057] The test device for the main-gridless solar cell of the present application includes a probe row bracket 100, a plurality of telescopic components 200 arranged on the probe row bracket 100; and a probe contact component, where the probe contact component includes a plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 connected to the plurality of telescopic components 200 in one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of trapezoidal contact parts 300 are alternately arranged in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the positive fine grids and negative fine grids on the main-gridless cell 500 are alternately arranged. By connecting the trapezoidal contact parts 300 through the telescopic components 200, when the trapezoidal contact parts 300 contact the fine grids on the main-gridless cell 500, the telescopic components 200 can elastically expand and contract, avoiding damage to the main-gridless cell 500, with simple maintenance and control of maintenance costs.
