[0053] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1-8 , the present application is based on a photovoltaic cell heating control method to build a high-temperature heating furnace, comprising:

[0055] The furnace body 1 has a furnace mouth and a furnace tail away from each other, the furnace mouth is provided with a feeding and discharging port communicating with the furnace cavity, and the feeding and discharging port is provided with a furnace door 11 which can be opened and closed. The furnace cavity of the furnace body 1 is divided into a plurality of heating areas 13 along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace, the length of the heating area 13 adjacent to the furnace mouth is equal to or less than that of the remaining heating areas 13, and the length of the heating area 13 refers to the length of the heating area 13 along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace; and / or

[0056] The temperature control device is arranged on the furnace body 1 for independently controlling the temperature of each heating area 13 in the furnace body 1.

[0057] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the length of the heating area 13 adjacent to the furnace mouth is less than that of the remaining heating areas 13.

[0058] As shown in the figure, except for the heating area 13 adjacent to the furnace mouth, in every two adjacent heating areas 13, the length of the heating area 13 close to the furnace mouth is equal to or less than that of the heating area 13 close to the middle of the furnace body 1.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature control device comprises:

[0060] A plurality of heating devices 2 are arranged in the furnace body 1 for heating the silicon wafer in the furnace cavity, and each heating area is provided with a set of heating devices 2;

[0061] A plurality of temperature controllers 4 are arranged in the furnace body 1 and connected with the heating devices 2, and each heating area is provided with a set of temperature controllers 4 for receiving the temperature control instructions of the heating control mechanism to control the action of the electric heater;

[0062] A plurality of temperature detectors 3 are arranged in the furnace body 1 and connected with the heating control mechanism, and each heating area is provided with a set of temperature detectors 3 for transmitting the actual temperature of the heating area monitored in real time to the heating control mechanism; and / or

[0063] The heating control mechanism 5 is arranged outside the furnace body 1 and connected with the temperature detector 3 and the temperature controller 4, and is used for receiving the temperature data monitored by the temperature detector and controlling the state of the temperature controller.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the heating device 2 is an electric heater, and the heating device 2 comprises a furnace wire 21, the furnace wire 21 is arranged in each heating area, and the furnace wire 21 is electrically connected with an external power supply and a temperature controller 4. The heating device 2 in the present application is not limited to an electric heater, but can also be other heating devices that can independently heat the heating area.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, a door body that can be opened and closed can be additionally arranged between adjacent heating areas. The communication or isolation between the heating areas is controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the door body, and then the size of the furnace cavity and the number of heating areas are quickly adjusted. If it is necessary to reduce the furnace cavity space of the furnace body, one or more door bodies near the tail of the furnace body can be selectively closed, so that the number of heating areas in the high-temperature heating furnace in the long axis direction of the furnace cavity is reduced, and the actual space of the furnace body for heating the silicon wafer is reduced. The device can flexibly adjust the size of the furnace cavity according to the number of silicon wafers processed, save energy, and avoid unnecessary waste.

[0066] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 The length of the heating area divided by the furnace cavity in the whole high-temperature heating furnace is not completely the same, the length of the heating area near the furnace door is small, the length of the heating area near the middle of the furnace body is greater than that of the heating area near the furnace door, and each heating area is externally connected with a power supply and a temperature controller, so that the temperature of each heating area can be independently controlled to ensure the uniformity of the overall temperature of the silicon wafer in the furnace cavity.

[0067] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, several heating areas 13 are arranged near the furnace mouth 11, and the lengths of the heating areas are shorter than the length of the heating area near the middle of the furnace body. The heating areas near the furnace mouth are individually controlled, and the lengths of the heating areas are equal to each other or gradually increase from outside to inside along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace, but are smaller than the length of the heating area near the middle position. Since the temperature zones near the middle position are the main positions for the reaction of the silicon wafer, the length of the temperature zones near the middle position is set to be the maximum, so that the temperature distribution uniformity of the temperature zones can be improved, and the reaction effect of the silicon wafer can be improved.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of heating areas is 4-12.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of heating areas is 6-8.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of heating areas is 6 or 8.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the furnace body of each heating area is wound with the furnace wire. The furnace wire can be wound in a uniform manner or in a non-uniform manner, and the winding manner of the furnace wire can be a serpentine shape, a spiral shape or a combined winding manner.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, in the heating areas 13 with different lengths, the wire diameter and / or the wiring density of the furnace wire 21 are different.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, in the heating areas with different lengths, as the length of the heating area gradually increases, the wire diameter and / or the wiring density of the furnace wire gradually decrease.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the wire diameter of the furnace wire is between 1-10 mm.

[0075] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 As shown, the outer side wall of the furnace body 1 is further provided with a temperature data display screen 6 corresponding to each heating area, and the temperature data display screen 6 is connected with a temperature detector and used for displaying the temperature value and the change trend of the heating area.

[0076] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figures 1-7As shown in the embodiment, the furnace cavity of the furnace body of the high-temperature heating furnace is divided into six heating areas 13 along the axial direction, and the heating areas 13 are sequentially the first heating area 131, the second heating area 132, the third heating area 133, the fourth heating area 134, the fifth heating area 135, and the sixth heating area 136 from the furnace mouth to the furnace tail. Each heating area is separately connected to a power source, and the temperature of each heating area can be independently controlled to ensure the uniformity of the overall temperature of the silicon wafer in the furnace. According to actual needs, the number of heating areas can be more or less than the number shown in the figure, for example, 4-12. In this embodiment, the lengths of different heating areas are different. The lengths of the first heating area 131, the second heating area 132, and the third heating area 133 gradually increase along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace. The length of the first heating area near the furnace mouth is the smallest, which is to set the area with large temperature difference to a smaller control length, so that the temperature difference in this area is smaller, the temperature distribution is more uniform, and the temperature detector can reflect the true situation in the temperature zone, thereby facilitating accurate control of temperature rise and fall.

[0077] As shown in the embodiment, Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment, the furnace body of the high-temperature heating furnace is divided into eight heating areas 13 along the axial direction, and the heating areas 13 are sequentially the first heating area 1301, the second heating area 1302, the third heating area 1303, the fourth heating area 1304, the fifth heating area 1305, the sixth heating area 1306, the seventh heating area 1307, and the eighth heating area 1308 from the furnace mouth to the furnace tail. Each heating area is separately connected to a power source, and the temperature of each heating area can be independently controlled to ensure the uniformity of the overall temperature of the silicon wafer in the furnace. Among them, three heating areas with the same length are arranged near the furnace mouth, namely the first heating area 1301, the second heating area 1302, and the third heating area 1303. The lengths of these three heating areas are all smaller than the lengths of the heating areas near the middle of the furnace body, that is, the lengths of the first heating area 1301, the second heating area 1302, and the third heating area 1303 are all smaller than the lengths of the fifth heating area 1305 and the sixth heating area 1306. It should be noted that the three equal-length heating areas are only for illustration, and other numbers can also be set. As shown in the figure, one narrow heating area is arranged near the furnace mouth, which can control the temperature more accurately. However, the temperature influence degree of adjacent heating areas may still be large, so more than one narrow heating area is needed to reduce the temperature influence degree near the furnace mouth, so that the temperature difference between adjacent temperature zones is smaller, and the temperature inside the furnace body is more uniform.

[0078] In other embodiments, the lengths of the three heating areas can also not be completely equal, for example, the lengths of the three heating areas gradually increase towards the middle of the furnace body. This is because the farther away from the furnace mouth, the smaller the temperature influence degree difference, and the corresponding control length can be increased.

[0079] AsFigure 3 As shown, each heating zone 13 is provided with uniformly arranged heating wires 21 along the outer side of the furnace body. The heating wires 21 are arranged in a ring along the circumference of the furnace body 1, or in a serpentine pattern. The distribution density and / or wire diameter of the heating wires in different heating zones are different, and the wire diameter is between 1 and 10 mm.

[0080] Furthermore, the wire diameter in the densely distributed heating zone of the heating wires 21 is larger than that in the sparsely distributed heating zone. The heating zone near the furnace opening can be relatively dense or shorter in length, allowing for more precise control; the illustration only shows cases with different lengths. The inner heating zone with a longer wire diameter exhibits less temperature variation and smaller internal temperature differences, allowing for the use of sparsely distributed heating wires with smaller diameters. In other embodiments, the wire diameter and the spacing of the distribution density can be specifically set as needed.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, a wiring area (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer side wall of the furnace body 1. The heating wire 21 is electrically connected to an external power supply and a temperature controller through several terminals in the wiring area to realize independent control of the electric heater.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, each heating zone 13 is equipped with an independent temperature controller 4. The temperature controller 4 is an electronic control device with multiple independent channels. The temperature controller 4 is externally connected to a heating control mechanism 5. The heating control mechanism 5 analyzes and precisely controls the temperature in the heating zone 13 through a PID algorithm, so as to independently adjust the power distribution of the heating wire in the heating zone 13 when it is working, that is, it can control the partial or complete on / off of the heating wire in the temperature zone.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple control boxes 8 are also provided on the outer wall of the furnace body 1. Each heating zone is equipped with one control box 8. Each control box integrates and installs a set of the temperature detector 3 and the temperature controller 4, thereby protecting the temperature detector 3 and the temperature controller 4.

[0084] In addition, a temperature data display screen 6 is installed on the outer wall of the furnace body 1 or the wall of the control box 8. The temperature data display screen corresponds to each heating zone. The temperature data display screen 6 is connected to the temperature detector 3. The temperature detector 3 can be a temperature testing instrument. The temperature detection probe of the temperature testing instrument can be inserted into the corresponding heating zone through the detection hole 14 on the furnace body, so as to monitor and display the temperature value and change trend of the heating zone in real time. When there is a problem, it can quickly track which heating zone has a problem, which facilitates the inspection and replacement of the heating element and saves maintenance costs and time.

[0085] In some embodiments of this utility model, the heating control mechanism 5 is provided with a protective cover 9.

[0086] In some embodiments of the utility model, the outer side wall of the furnace body 1 is equipped with alarm 7, alarm 7 is electrically connected with heating control mechanism 5. Specifically, the alarm is a buzzer, once there is a problem in one or several heating areas, the alarm can ring, thereby playing a warning role.

[0087] The photovoltaic cell heating control method provided in the application is used for high-temperature heating of a silicon wafer and comprises the following steps:

[0088] S1, based on the furnace cavity size parameters of the high-temperature heating furnace and the heating temperature and temperature control precision in the high-temperature heating process of the photovoltaic cell, the furnace cavity of the high-temperature heating furnace is divided into a plurality of heating areas along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace in turn;

[0092] S5, the temperature controller controls the heating power of the heating wire in the corresponding heating area according to the temperature control instruction to control the temperature of each heating area independently.

[0093] In some embodiments of the utility model, the electric heater needs to select the wire diameter, wiring mode and wiring density of the heating wire according to the temperature control precision and the furnace cavity size parameters in the high-temperature heating process of the photovoltaic cell.

[0094] In some embodiments of the utility model, the direction close to the end of the high-temperature heating furnace in the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace is defined as outward, and vice versa; in the two adjacent heating areas, the length of the heating area on the outside is equal to or less than the length of the heating area on the inside.

[0095] In some embodiments of the utility model, in the two adjacent heating areas, the length of the heating area on the outside is less than the length of the heating area on the inside, that is, the length of the two adjacent heating areas gradually increases from the outside to the inside along the long axis direction of the high-temperature heating furnace.

[0096] The step of analyzing and processing the temperature of each heating area by the heating control mechanism through a PID algorithm comprises the following steps:

[0097] S41 collecting real-time temperature of each heating area in the high-temperature heating furnace by the temperature detector as the input of the feedback link of the system;

[0098] S42 presetting working temperature of each heating area of the high-temperature heating furnace, area temperature control threshold of the same heating area and inter-area temperature control threshold between adjacent heating areas by the heating control mechanism as the input of the system;
