Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding and conveying devices, specifically relating to a feeding and conveying device for solar cell screen printing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and manufacturing of solar cells, screen printing is a crucial step. Screen printing utilizes the basic principle that ink passes through the mesh openings in the graphic areas of the screen, while the non-graphic areas are not. During the screen printing process, a feeding and conveying device is required. Conveyor belts are a commonly used feeding and conveying device, primarily used to transport silicon wafers from one process to another. The lower inclined end or unloading end of the conveyor belt is connected to the screen printing table to ensure that the silicon wafers are accurately delivered to the printing position, completing the solar cell screen printing process.

[0003] The conveyor belt works by using a motor to drive pulleys to rotate, which in turn drives a belt to rotate, transporting silicon wafers to the screen printing table for screen printing. However, during this process, the silicon wafers may generate static electricity due to friction, attracting dust and impurities from the air, potentially damaging them. Since the wafers are exposed without any shielding, dust and impurities can settle on the belt surface. If static electricity is generated, the wafers will attract these dust and impurities, causing damage. Furthermore, the conveyor belt lacks anti-static design, failing to prevent the wafers from attracting dust and impurities, which is a drawback.

[0004] When existing conveyor belts transport silicon wafers, there is a problem that the conveyor belts do not have an anti-static structure to prevent dust from adhering to the silicon wafers. To address this, this application proposes a solar cell screen printing feeding and conveying device. Utility Model Content
