[0002] N-type high-efficiency cells are currently gaining popularity in the photovoltaic cell market, with TOPCON technology becoming the dominant technology in this field. Throughout the entire process, wet-process trough machines are widely used. Over extended use, chemical splashes and drips within the machine can easily cause crystals to accumulate on the trough machine covers, particularly on the chemical tank covers. This long-term accumulation of crystals can lead to equipment aging, trough cover damage, and frequent machine failures, ultimately impacting machine output.
[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for cleaning the slot covers of trough-type machines. The first is to use a water gun during fluid change intervals. While this method can effectively remove crystals from the machine, it is difficult to operate on the production line. Cold water flushing is ineffective, and hot water flushing poses a risk of burns. Furthermore, flushing requires machine downtime, increasing fluid change time and impacting production capacity. The second method is to use maintenance intervals for cleaning. This method has long cleaning intervals, is ineffective in removing crystals, and thorough cleaning increases maintenance time and workload. Therefore, neither method provides efficient cleaning results.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a solar cell wet process trough machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a solar cell wet process tank machine which can effectively clean the crystals of the tank cover without affecting the production capacity.

[0007] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the cleaning valve is a solenoid valve or a pneumatic valve.
[0008] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the spray head includes a water diversion part and at least two spray parts connected to the water diversion part, and the water diversion part is used to divert the liquid in the cleaning pipe to the spray parts.
[0009] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the spray portion is provided with a plurality of spray ports, and the spray ports are arranged in a row along the width direction of the tank cover.
[0010] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the tank cover includes two half tank covers, and the spray part corresponds to the half tank covers one by one.
[0011] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, a pulling mechanism and a heating mechanism are provided in the slow pulling main tank. The pulling mechanism is used to slowly lift the silicon wafer from the cleaning liquid, and the heating mechanism is used to heat the cleaning liquid in the slow pulling main tank.
[0012] As a further improved technical solution of the present invention, the cleaning valve is signal-connected to the switch mechanism of the tank cover, and when the tank cover is in an open state, the cleaning valve is opened.
[0013] From the above technical solutions, it can be seen that the solar cell wet process tank machine of the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0014] 1. By setting up a tank cover cleaning assembly and connecting the tank cover cleaning assembly with the slow-pulling auxiliary tank, the overflow cleaning liquid collected therein can be used to clean the tank cover, which not only improves the convenience of the cleaning operation, but also reduces manual intervention and improves operational safety. The introduction of the tank cover cleaning assembly enables the tank cover of the reaction tank to be effectively cleaned, keeps the equipment clean, and prevents the accumulation of pollutants.
[0015] 2. The use of cleaning valves provides precise control of the cleaning fluid, and the cleaning process can be opened or closed as needed.
[0016] 3. By setting up overflow pipes and return pipes, the liquid forms a two-way flow between the slow pull main tank and the slow pull auxiliary tank, realizing liquid circulation and improving the utilization rate of the cleaning liquid and the cleaning efficiency.
[0017] 4. The design of the spray head includes a water distribution part and multiple spray parts, so that the cleaning liquid can be evenly distributed on the tank cover, improving the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning; the multiple spray ports on the spray part are arranged along the width direction of the tank cover, ensuring that the cleaning liquid can cover the entire surface of the tank cover and avoiding cleaning dead corners.
[0018] 5. By optimizing the liquid circulation and cleaning process, the consumption of cleaning fluid and cleaning time are reduced, which helps to reduce the operating cost of the equipment. In addition, by recycling the cleaning fluid, the discharge of chemical waste is reduced, which meets environmental protection requirements and has little impact on the environment.
