[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic cell production, and more specifically, to a preheating light box and cell welding device. Background Art

[0002] In the photovoltaic module production process, heat curing is a critical step in forming cell strings. To ensure soldering quality, production equipment is often equipped with a light box to heat the stacked cells and solder ribbons. However, to regulate the temperature within the light box and remove flux fumes, manufacturers often install ventilation ducts to ventilate the interior.

[0003] However, as the functionality of photovoltaic module production equipment increases, the number of internal mechanisms also increases. These mechanisms and ventilation ducts can easily interfere with each other during production, leading to frequent equipment downtime for maintenance and thus impacting production efficiency. Therefore, optimizing the design of the light box to avoid interference between ventilation ducts and other mechanisms has become a critical technical issue in improving the reliability and efficiency of photovoltaic module production equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a preheating light box and a battery cell welding device, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0025] The airflow amplification design of the flow amplifier can reduce energy consumption because it can increase the airflow without increasing additional energy consumption, optimizing the energy efficiency of the overall system.

[0032] The heat curing light box is set at the serial connection station, and is configured to heat the preheated battery cells and welding strips located at the serial connection station, so that the welding strips are cured on the battery cells after being heated.

[0033] Through the two-stage heating treatment of preheating and thermal curing, the adhesion quality of the solder ribbon on the battery cell can be effectively improved, ensuring the strength and stability of the solder joint; in addition, stable preheating and curing temperature control can ensure consistent welding quality between each batch of battery cells and solder ribbons, reducing variability and defect rate in the production process.

[0054] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0055] Prior art cell welding equipment typically lacks preheating equipment and instead directly uses a heat-curing light box to weld the cell and ribbon. This method allows the ribbon to cure on the cell after direct heating. However, the sudden increase in temperature during the heat-curing process can easily cause hidden cracks in the cell, which reduces the lifespan of the photovoltaic module. Furthermore, as the functionality of photovoltaic module production equipment continues to increase, the number of internal mechanisms has also increased accordingly. These complex mechanisms and ventilation ducts are prone to interference in actual production, resulting in frequent equipment downtime for maintenance, further affecting production efficiency.

[0056] In view of these problems, this application proposes a preheating light box, which has been optimized in structural design and uses a flow amplifier instead of a ventilation pipe, aiming to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology and ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the high-quality production of photovoltaic modules.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the preheating light box in the embodiment of the present application includes a heating mechanism and an air supply mechanism, wherein:

[0058] The heating mechanism includes a heating chamber 1 and a heating component arranged in the heating chamber 1;

[0059] The air supply mechanism includes at least one flow amplifier 2 installed outside the heating chamber 1, the air inlet of the flow amplifier 2 is connected to the outside air, and the air outlet of the flow amplifier 2 is connected to the heating chamber 1;

[0060] The flow amplifier 2 is configured to blow air into the heating chamber 1 , and the air is blown out from a downward side of the heating chamber 1 .

[0061] It can be seen that the preheating light box of the present application has been optimized in structural design. The flow amplifier 2 is used to replace the ventilation pipe, which not only saves space but also reduces the mutual interference between the various internal mechanisms of the equipment, effectively reduces the risk of ventilation pipe damage and system failure, and ensures the stability and continuity of equipment operation.

[0062] In addition, the setting of the preheating light box can gradually increase the temperature of the battery cells before welding, avoiding stress concentration caused by sudden temperature increase, thereby significantly reducing the risk of hidden cracks in the battery cells due to sudden heating, and improving the reliability and service life of photovoltaic modules.

[0063] Among them, the heating component is mainly responsible for providing the required heat to ensure effective heating of the battery cell and the solder strip; in addition to using traditional infrared heaters (such as infrared lamps 5), the heating component can also use resistance wire heaters, ceramic heaters, hot air gun heaters, etc.

[0064] Among them, the flow amplifier 2 is a device for increasing the air flow, which has the advantages of easy installation, low energy consumption and large air volume. It can effectively introduce external air into the heating chamber 1 and improve the ventilation effect of the equipment.

[0065] During operation, the heating assembly generates heat and transfers it into heating chamber 1. Simultaneously, flow amplifier 2 in the air supply mechanism draws in external air and delivers it into heating chamber 1. The airflow is blown out from the downward side of heating chamber 1, transferring the heat from within chamber 1 to the solar cells. Furthermore, the airflow removes flux waste gases from the heating process, ensuring a clean environment within heating chamber 1.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown, the heating mechanism also includes a heat insulation plate 3 ( Figure 2 Only the insulation panels 3 on the adjacent two sides are shown as an example).

[0067] The insulation board 3 is used to surround the heating component to prevent heat loss and improve heating efficiency. It can adopt mineral wool insulation board, aluminum silicate insulation board, foam glass insulation board, ceramic fiber insulation board, insulation foam board, carbon fiber insulation board, etc., or a combination of at least two of the above; and additional insulation materials (such as insulation blankets or insulation coatings) can be added to the insulation board 3 to improve the insulation effect.

[0068] By placing heat shields 3 around the heating element, heat loss can be effectively reduced, improving heating efficiency. This design effectively maintains the operating temperature of the heating element, helping to improve production efficiency and overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, the heat shields 3 prevent heat from escaping and damaging the various circuits and electronic components within the machine.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, a flow guide assembly is further provided in the heating chamber 1, and the flow guide assembly includes at least one flow guide plate 4;

[0070] The guide plate 4 is arranged on the air supply path between the air outlet of the flow amplifier 2 and the heating component to guide the air flow to be evenly distributed in the heating chamber 1.

[0071] When the flow amplifier 2 sends air into the heating chamber 1, the guide plate 4 guides the flow path of the airflow through its specific shape and installation angle; the guide plate 4 can disperse the airflow to ensure that the airflow is evenly distributed in the entire heating chamber 1.

[0072] Among them, the guide plate 4 is a device for guiding the airflow, which is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy or high-temperature resistant plastic; it is a flat or curved plate installed in the airflow channel; the main function of the guide plate 4 is to change the flow direction of the airflow, which can effectively reduce the turbulence or instability of the airflow, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the airflow.

[0073] The guide plate 4 can be installed by means of a bracket, bolts or welding. The bracket installation method can make the position of the guide plate 4 easier to adjust, while bolts or welding can provide a more stable fixing method.

[0074] The introduction of the guide plate 4 significantly improves the uniform distribution of the airflow, ensuring that each area in the heating chamber 1 can obtain uniform airflow, which directly improves the welding quality of the battery cells; through uniform airflow distribution, the guide plate 4 helps to achieve temperature uniformity in the heating chamber 1, reduces local overheating, and improves heat transfer efficiency.

[0075] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a first guide plate and a second guide plate arranged at intervals, wherein:

[0076] The first guide plate is provided with a plurality of first waist holes, and the second guide plate is provided with a plurality of second waist holes. The extension direction of the first waist holes is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second waist holes.

[0077] Among them, the first waist hole and the second waist hole are long strips.

[0078] When the airflow enters the heating chamber 1 from the outlet of the flow amplifier 2, it first passes through the first guide plate. The first waist holes on the first guide plate allow the airflow to pass through and provide preliminary guidance to the airflow. Due to the specific arrangement direction of these holes, the airflow will be adjusted and dispersed to a certain extent when passing through the first guide plate.

[0079] After passing through the first guide plate, the airflow reaches the second guide plate; the second waist hole on the second guide plate is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first waist hole. This setting can further adjust the direction of the airflow so that the airflow forms a staggered flow pattern in the heating chamber 1; this can avoid the airflow from being concentrated in the heating chamber 1 and ensure full coverage of the airflow.

[0080] By providing the first guide plate and the second guide plate spaced apart and making the first waist hole and the second waist hole extend in a perpendicular direction, the distribution of the airflow in the heating chamber 1 can be significantly improved; this can avoid the airflow from being concentrated in a certain area and ensure the uniform distribution of the airflow;

[0081] The staggered arrangement of the guide plates 4 allows the airflow to form a more optimal flow pattern in the heating chamber 1, thereby achieving more uniform heat transfer. This uniform heating effect can improve the quality and consistency of battery cell welding.

[0082] Continue to refer Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly includes several infrared lamp tubes 5, and a corresponding number of cooling tubes 6 are arranged on the sides of the infrared lamp tubes 5. The cooling tubes 6 are provided with several blowing holes on the side facing the infrared lamp tubes 5, and the cooling tubes 6 are used to blow air to the infrared lamp tubes 5.

[0083] The cooling tube 6 is closely attached to the side of the infrared lamp 5 and maintains an appropriate distance from the edge of the infrared lamp 5 to ensure that the cooling airflow can effectively blow to the surface of the infrared lamp 5. The cooling tube 6 is connected to a gas supply system, which can be an air compressor or an air supply pipeline to provide a stable cooling airflow.

[0084] The design of the cooling tube 6 can effectively remove the heat generated by the infrared lamp 5 and reduce the operating temperature of the infrared lamp 5; this helps prevent the infrared lamp 5 from overheating, improves the stability and efficiency of the heating component, and extends the service life of the infrared lamp 5.

[0085] Specifically, the flow amplifier 2 includes an air supply pipe, a nozzle and an air injection unit, wherein:

[0086] The diameter of the air supply pipe is larger than that of the nozzle, and the air outlet of the air supply pipe is connected to the heating chamber 1;

[0087] The air inlet end of the nozzle is connected to the air injection unit, and the air outlet end of the nozzle extends into the air inlet of the air supply pipe. The air injection unit pressurizes the external air into the nozzle;

[0088] The nozzle is configured to inject high-pressure airflow into the air inlet of the air supply pipe to form a low-pressure area at the air outlet end of the nozzle, so that the air around the air inlet of the air supply pipe is sucked into the air supply pipe due to the pressure difference.

[0089] The gas injection unit may be an air compressor, a gas pump, an air amplifier, etc. The gas injection unit is used to pressurize the external air to the air inlet end of the nozzle.

[0090] The airflow amplification design of the Flow Amplifier 2 reduces energy consumption because it increases airflow without adding additional energy consumption, optimizing the energy efficiency of the overall system.

[0091] The preheating light box further includes a lifting mechanism for driving the heating mechanism to move up and down, the lifting mechanism including a support frame and a driving unit provided on the support frame, wherein:

[0092] The heating mechanism is slidably connected to the support frame and is transmission-connected to a driving unit arranged on the support frame. The driving unit is used for driving the heating mechanism to slide and rise and fall along the support frame.

[0093] The driving unit is responsible for providing power to enable the heating mechanism to slide and rise and fall along the support frame. The driving unit can be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0094] The lifting mechanism enables the heating mechanism to move up and down according to actual needs, providing flexible adjustment of the heating position, which helps to adapt to different heating needs and improve the applicability of the equipment.

[0095] In a second aspect, the present application further proposes a cell welding device, which includes a welding conveying mechanism, a heat curing light box, and the above-mentioned preheating light box;

[0096] The conveying path of the welding conveyor mechanism is provided with a preheating station and a serial connection station in sequence. The welding conveyor mechanism is used to convey the battery cells and welding ribbons laid out according to the predetermined stringing rules;

[0097] The preheating light box is set at the preheating station, and is used to preheat the battery cells and solder strips that are laid out according to a predetermined string rule at the preheating station;

[0098] The heat curing light box is set at the serial connection station, and is configured to heat the preheated battery cells and welding strips located at the serial connection station, so that the welding strips are cured on the battery cells after being heated.

[0099] Among them, the welding conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a roller and a driving device; the conveyor belt is used to carry the battery cells and welding ribbons, and the roller and driving device are responsible for driving the movement of the conveyor belt.

[0100] Through the two-stage heating treatment of preheating and thermal curing, the adhesion quality of the solder ribbon on the battery cell can be effectively improved, ensuring the strength and stability of the solder joint; in addition, stable preheating and curing temperature control can ensure consistent welding quality between each batch of battery cells and solder ribbons, reducing variability and defect rate in the production process.

[0101] The automated welding conveying mechanism can improve the operating efficiency of the production line, reduce manual intervention and operation time, and achieve efficient battery cell welding production.

[0102] The conveying path of the welding conveyor mechanism is also provided with a stacking station located in front of the preheating station. The battery cell welding device also includes a battery cell laying mechanism and a welding ribbon laying mechanism;

[0103] The cell placement mechanism and the solder ribbon placement mechanism are configured to place the cell and solder ribbon at the stacking station according to a predetermined stringing rule;

[0104] The stacking station is the precursor to the cell welding process, preparing for the preheating and welding process.

[0105] The automated operation of the cell placement mechanism and the solder ribbon placement mechanism can significantly improve the speed and efficiency of cell and ribbon placement. The setting of the stacking station ensures that the cell and ribbon are stacked according to predetermined rules, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the materials and reducing errors caused by human operation.

[0106] The cell welding device also includes an exhaust mechanism, which is installed on at least one of the thermal curing light box, the preheating light box, and the welding conveying mechanism. The exhaust mechanism is used to exhaust the preheating station and / or the serial connection station.

[0107] Among them, the exhaust mechanism can adopt industrial vacuum cleaners, fans, gas purification devices, exhaust pipes, etc.; if an exhaust pipe is used, the exhaust pipe needs to be connected to the exhaust fan to extract the gas from the preheating station and / or the serial connection station to the centralized processing system.

[0108] The exhaust mechanism can extract the waste gas generated during the heating process and assist in cooling, thereby improving the working environment and protecting the health of the operators. Moreover, through the negative pressure effect of the exhaust mechanism, the air flow in the heating area can be reduced, thereby improving the heating efficiency.
