Description

[0002] With the continuous development of solar cell piece technology in recent years, PEAR, TopCon, BC and HJT technologies are iterated and parallel, and the requirements of EL detection (electricity to light) and IV detection (photoelectric conversion efficiency) are continuously improved. With the rapid development of crystalline silicon solar cell production in recent years, the solar industry has rapidly risen, which will inevitably increase competition in the same industry, and cost reduction and efficiency improvement have become the main development goal of the solar manufacturing industry. Increasing the number of main grids on the cell piece can reduce Rs (series resistance) and reduce the loss of Isc (short circuit current) caused by broken grids. However, the increase in the number of main grids will inevitably increase the consumption of silver paste, so in order to reduce silver consumption and reduce costs, people will make the traditional continuous main grid line into many fine grid lines (or called no main grid). Such multi-grid line design will cause the problem of poor test contact. The traditional epoxy resin probe rack itself does not have conductivity, and whether it is PCB or epoxy resin probe structure, the shielding area is large, and the test contact completely depends on the contact between the probe head and the cell piece, and it cannot be contacted with the silicon wafer.

The measuring device 300 can include a frame 310 and at least one test component 320. The test component 320 can include a conductive metal piece 321 and a connecting component 322. The tightness between the connecting component 322 and the frame 310 is adjustable, so that the distance between adjacent two conductive metal pieces 321 is adjustable, and thus the measuring device 300 can be adapted to different grid line cell 400, thereby increasing the application range. In addition, the tightness between the connecting component 322 and the frame 310 of the present embodiment is adjustable, so that the tightness of the conductive metal piece 321 connected by each connecting component 322 is adjustable, thereby avoiding the poor contact of the conductive metal piece 321 with the component to be tested due to too loose, and avoiding the fracture of the conductive metal piece 321 or the hidden crack or fragment of the component to be tested (cell) due to too tight.

[0043] Specifically, the conductive metal piece 321 of the embodiment can be a metal wire or a metal strip. Specifically, the conductive metal piece 321 of the embodiment can be a gold-plated copper wire or a gold-plated copper strip.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of the utility model, the fixed part 311 of the embodiment is further provided with a second through hole 313 parallel to the first through hole 312. The first connecting piece 3221 passes through the second through hole 313 and then passes through the first through hole 312 to be tightly connected to the fixed part 311. The cross section of the first connecting piece 3221 at the second through hole 313 is square to prevent the first connecting piece 3221 from rotating relative to the fixed part 311.

[0048] Specifically, the first connecting piece 3221 of the embodiment passes through the second through hole 313, the cross section of the first connecting piece 3221 is square, and the size of the first connecting piece 3221 matches the size of the second through hole 313, so that the first connecting piece 3221 cannot rotate relative to the fixed part 311 when the second connecting piece 3222 is rotated and screwed with the first connecting piece 3221.

[0049] Specifically, the first through hole 312, the second through hole 313 and the conductive metal piece 321 of the embodiment are located in the same plane.

At least one third through hole 211 extending along a direction perpendicular to the conductive metal piece 321 is arranged at each adjusting guide rail 210. Each supporting part 220 is parallel to the conductive metal piece 321. Each supporting part 220 is arranged on the adjusting guide rail 210, and the supporting part 220 and the adjusting guide rail 210 are detachably connected through the third through hole 211 by using a fastener.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 And Figure 9As shown, the embodiment adjusts the support piece 220 on the adjusting guide rail 210, and a third through hole 211 is arranged on the adjusting guide rail 210. A corresponding threaded hole 223 is arranged at the bottom of the support piece, and the support piece 220 is arranged at the adjusting guide rail 210 by passing the fastener through the third through hole 211 and then through the threaded hole 223. The tightness between the support piece 220 and the adjusting guide rail 210 can be adjusted by adjusting the tightness of the fastener, and then the distance between the support pieces 220 can be adjusted when the support pieces 220 are relatively loose with the adjusting guide rail 210, and the support pieces 220 are fastened after reaching the target position.

[0055] Specifically, the support piece 220 of the embodiment can be a copper bar.

[0056] Specifically, the number of the support piece 220 of the embodiment is the same as the number of the conductive metal piece 321, and each support piece 220 is arranged correspondingly with one conductive metal piece 321 when the measuring device 300 measures the battery piece 400.

And the upper surface 221 of each support piece 220 is an arc structure, so that the support surface 222 is an arc surface.

[0059] Specifically, the upper surface of the support piece 220 in the embodiment is formed as an arc surface, so that the height of the connecting assembly 322 at both ends can be slightly lower than the height of the upper surface 221 when the test assembly 320 tests the battery piece 400, so as to ensure better contact between the conductive metal piece 321 and the battery piece 400, without touching the support piece 220.
