Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar cell positioning technology, and in particular to a precision positioning device for solar cells. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing level of automation, solar cell positioning devices have become an indispensable key device in the manufacturing process of solar cell modules, such as screen printing, laser scribing, and string welding. Their positioning accuracy directly or indirectly affects the processing quality of the finished product. In particular, with the technological upgrading of the photovoltaic industry, there are higher requirements for the positioning accuracy of each link.

[0003] In the solar cell manufacturing process, the existing cell positioning methods mainly include the following:

[0004] 1. The positioning method using the positioning wheel with opposite sides is used. The machining error and installation error of the positioning wheel will affect the positioning result. At the same time, there are also deviations in the manufacturing process of different cells. When positioning cells with negative deviation, the positioning wheel cannot contact the edge of the cell. When positioning cells with positive deviation, the positioning wheel will deform the cell.

[0005] 2. Three-axis platform positioning is used. This positioning method has high accuracy, but due to the large size of the three-axis platform, it is not suitable for positioning multiple groups of battery cells at the same time, and this positioning method is also more expensive.

[0006] 3. The method of positioning the battery cell by two adjacent sides is adopted. This method first uses a set of positioning wheels to push one side of the battery cell, and then uses positioning wheels to push the other side of the battery cell to achieve positioning of the battery cell. This method will be affected by the machining error and assembly error of the positioning wheels, which will affect the final positioning accuracy.

[0007] In conclusion, there is an urgent need to design a precision positioning device for solar cells to solve the problem of poor positioning accuracy in existing battery positioning methods.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple first pre-positioning wheels 405 and multiple second pre-positioning wheels 406 are provided to facilitate the positioning of the solar cell 1.

[0043] See also Figure 4The precision positioning component 5 may include: a connecting plate 501, a precision positioning motor 502, two slide rails 503, a slider 504, a positioning lead screw 505, an origin sensor 506, and a push plate mechanism 507.

[0044] Specifically, during the precise positioning of the solar cell 1, the precision positioning motor 502 is activated. Driven by the precision positioning motor 502, the positioning lead screw 505 begins to rotate. Due to the presence of the two slide rails 503 and the slider 504, the rotation of the positioning lead screw 505 drives the slider 504 to move along the two parallel slide rails 503. Since the pusher mechanism 507 is fixed on the slider 504, the movement of the slider 504 also moves the pusher mechanism 507. The movement of the pusher mechanism 507 can clamp the solar cell 1, thereby achieving precise positioning of the solar cell 1. The origin sensor 506 is used to determine that the pusher mechanism 507 is in the retracted state, at which time the solar cell 1 can be fed and transported. In some embodiments, the precision positioning motor 502 can be a servo motor.

[0048] Specifically, the precision positioning motor 502 and the positioning lead screw 505 are connected by a drive pulley 510 and a driven pulley 511, which are connected by a belt. This ensures high transmission accuracy while maintaining transmission efficiency.

[0049] See also Figure 5 The visual inspection component 6 may include: a camera mounting base 601, multiple light-emitting elements 602, and multiple cameras 603.

After the positioning action is completed, the camera 603 is turned on to take a picture and provide the positioning result.
