Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component manufacturing, in particular to a photovoltaic main grid-free battery string welding device. Background Art
[0002] Busbarless photovoltaic cells are a new type of solar cell designed on the basis of conventional solar cells. They reduce the series resistance by shortening the carrier transport path, thereby increasing the front light-receiving area, improving the component power, increasing the short-circuit current, and reducing the use of silver paste for grid line printing to reduce production costs.
[0003] The voltage of a single photovoltaic cell is typically around 0.5V, far below the voltage required for practical use. Through string welding, multiple photovoltaic cells can be connected in series to form a high-voltage busbar-less photovoltaic panel. String welding machines use resistance welding technology, applying pressure between the cells and heating them with an electric current to create a tight bond between the welding tips and the cell surface. This method not only increases the voltage and current output of the solar panel, but also enhances the panel's stability and conversion efficiency.
[0004] In a typical ribbon loading system, multiple pre-cut ribbon assemblies are placed at a loading station on a production conveyor, with ribbon loading coordinated and alternating with cell loading. Current stringing machines utilize fully automated welding, but the ribbon length on a single roll is limited. Failure to replace the ribbon promptly necessitates manual rethreading, and replacing the ribbon assembly often requires downtime, impacting productivity. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] The present invention provides a photovoltaic busbar-free battery string welding device.

[0027] A detection beam 20 is fixed just above the supply shaft 4, and a pressure sensor 6 is fixed on the detection beam 20. The end of the detection beam 20 is rotatably connected to a resistance bracket 7.

The resistance torsion spring 8 can make the resistance bracket 7 always in contact with the welding strip of the welding strip feeding disk 5. As the welding strip on the welding strip feeding disk 5 gradually decreases, the resistance bracket 7 will rotate. As the resistance bracket 7 rotates, the pressure of the resistance torsion spring 8 on the pressure sensor 6 will gradually decrease, and the remaining amount of welding strip on the welding strip feeding disk 5 can be determined.
