[0002] In the manufacturing process of crystalline silicon cells, screen printing is the most widely used method for preparing electrodes during mass production. Typically, the front grid lines of a solar cell consist of at least one main grid line and several secondary grid lines connected to the main grid line. The secondary grid lines guide the current generated by the photovoltaic effect of the semiconductor material, while the main grid lines collect the current from the secondary grid lines and transmit it through the soldered ribbons connected to them. The main grid lines and secondary grid lines are formed by screen printing expensive conductive silver paste onto the solar cell.

[0003] With the increasing demand for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, layout design is gradually shifting to busbar-less designs. As a new battery packaging technology, busbar-less cells directly use solder ribbons instead of busbars to collect current from each secondary busbar, eliminating the need for busbar printing and reducing the material cost of printing silver paste.

[0004] However, when there is no main grid design, the holes at the hollow position of the screen are too large, resulting in a lack of support for the grid line hollow pattern. During printing, the grid line position is easily deformed, resulting in thickened printed grid lines, which affects the printing quality. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example 1

[0026] The embodiment of the utility model provides a new type of high-efficiency silicon-based battery without main grid full-opening screen, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes: a first screen 1 and a second screen 2, both of which are made of steel plates, a first hollow position is set on the first screen 1, and a second hollow position is set on the second screen 2, the first hollow position and the second hollow position are combined to form a screen printing pattern 3, and the grid line hollow holes of the screen printing pattern 3 are a fully open structure.

[0027] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the first screen 1 and the second screen 2 are both made of steel plates, which are not easily deformed, provide support for the grid line hollow holes, increase the service life of the first screen 1 and the second screen 2, and solve the problem of easy deformation of the grid line during printing. In addition, by combining the first hollow position and the second hollow position, a screen printing pattern 3 is formed, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the printing effect with 20 welding strips and 54 secondary grids on the front as an example, which ensures that the printed pattern is a pattern without main grid. Through the combination of the first screen 1 and the second screen 2, the grid line hollow holes are made into a fully open structure. While maintaining the width of the grid line hollow holes, the length of the grid line hollow holes is increased, which not only ensures the tension of the fully open screen, but also increases the screen opening, effectively improving the printing line type, thereby improving the printing efficiency.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] On the basis of the above embodiment 1, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the first hollow position of the first screen 1 is complementary to the second hollow position of the second screen 2;

[0030] The first hollow position includes several rows of first fine grid groups spaced according to the welding strip connection position, the first fine grid group includes two rows of first fine grid rows, the first fine grid row includes several first fine grid segments 4, the several first fine grid segments 4 in the same row are spaced according to the welding strip connection position, and the first fine grid segments 4 in adjacent rows are staggered, the second hollow position includes several rows of second fine grid groups spaced according to the welding strip connection position, the second fine grid group includes two rows of second fine grid rows, the second fine grid row includes several second fine grid segments 5, the left and right ends of the second fine grid segment 5 respectively correspond to the ends of two adjacent first fine grid segments 4, and the connection point between the second fine grid segment 5 and the end of the first fine grid segment 4 is the welding strip connection position;

[0031] Thickened sections 6 are provided at both ends of the first thin gate segment 4 . The thickened sections 6 are of a gradually thickened structure. The width of the thickened section 6 at one end close to the first thin gate segment 4 is smaller than the width at the other end away from the first thin gate segment 4 .

[0032] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the first hollow position of the first screen 1 is complementary to the second hollow position of the second screen 2, thereby forming a screen printing pattern 3, and the screen printing pattern 3 is a main grid-free printing pattern. When making the first screen 1 and the second screen 2, the entire fine grid body 11 is first split into multiple sections with the component welding strip position as the splitting point, and each of them can be placed on different screens, thereby forming a first fine grid group on the first screen 1 and a second fine grid group on the second screen 2. When printing, a secondary printing process is adopted, and any screen is selected first. Perform the first printing, and then select another screen for the second printing. After the printing is completed, the first fine grid group and the second fine grid group are combined to form the entire fine grid body 11. Through the above scheme, the problem of insufficient tension of the full-opening screen caused by the design without a main grid can be avoided. The second fine grid segment 5 is a non-gradient fine grid, and the width of the second fine grid segment 5 is consistent. Thickened sections 6 are set at both ends of the first fine grid segment 4, and the second fine grid segment 5 is connected to the thickened section 6 of the first fine grid segment 4. By setting the thickened section 6, it is ensured that the printed graphics overlap with each other, thereby ensuring the effective transmission area.

[0034] On the basis of Example 1 or 2, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the hollowed-out position at the edge of the screen-printed pattern 3 perpendicular to the printing direction is partially opened.

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the hollow position at the edge of the screen-printed pattern 3 perpendicular to the printing direction includes a first fine grid segment 4 at the edge of the first screen 1 and a second fine grid segment 5 at the edge of the second screen 2. By setting local openings, the tension of the full-opening screen can be ensured.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] Based on any one of Examples 1-3, the contact surface of the first screen 1 with the battery cell is covered with a first flexible film, and the hollow position of the first flexible film is consistent with the first hollow position; the contact surface of the second screen 2 with the battery cell is covered with a second flexible film, and the hollow position of the second flexible film is consistent with the second hollow position.

[0038] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the first flexible film and the second flexible film are made of PI, emulsion or other existing materials for preparing flexible films. By setting the first flexible film and the second flexible film, it is possible to avoid an increase in the proportion of defects such as fragments and scratches caused by excessive mechanical strength on the contact surface between the first screen 1, the second screen 2 and the battery cell, thereby improving the printing qualification rate.

[0044] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the first frame segment 9 and the second frame segment 10 are combined to form a frame body 12 of the printed graphic, and the frame body 12 includes a longitudinal frame and a harpoon structure 13, such as Figure 1 As shown, the left and right sides of the fine grid body 11 are longitudinal frames, and the harpoon structure 13 intersects with the upper and lower fine grid bodies 11.
