Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon wafer transfer technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning fragments from a solar cell backhaul carrier plate. Background Technology
[0002] Because the carrier plate (for HJT solar cells) of the PVD loading equipment has a hollow design, after the solar cell unloading machine picks up the cells, the carrier plate returns to the loading machine via the lower return mechanism for the cell placement operation. Due to the suction cup structure of the unloading machine, incomplete solar cells cannot be picked up, resulting in some missing cells being missed and returned to the loading machine. After the loading machine places the cells, the new cells overlap with the missing cells, causing HJT cell coating failure. Current technology cannot automatically clean the missing cells, and manual inspection is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to oversight, reducing the cell coating yield. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for cleaning fragments on the lower return carrier plate of solar cells, addressing the above-mentioned shortcomings. This solves the problems of existing technologies that cannot automatically clean missing solar cells, and manual inspection is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to negligence, reducing the yield of solar cell coating.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following solution:
[0005] An apparatus for cleaning debris from a solar cell undercarriage transport plate includes, but is not limited to, a conveying mechanism, a blowing mechanism, and a material chamber; the conveying mechanism is disposed in the material chamber, and the bearing portion of the conveying mechanism has a hollow structure; the blowing mechanism is disposed across the width direction of the conveying mechanism, and at least one blowing mechanism is provided along the length direction of the conveying mechanism.
[0006] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from the lower return carrier plate of a solar cell, the blowing mechanism includes a fixed cavity, a main air duct, an air inlet, and an air outlet; the fixed cavity is generally a cuboid structure, the main air duct is arranged along the length of the fixed cavity, the air inlet is located on the side walls at both ends of the fixed cavity, and the air outlet is located at the bottom of one side of the fixed cavity.
[0007] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from the lower return carrier plate of a solar cell, a plurality of auxiliary air chambers are arranged sequentially along the length of the main air channel. One end of each auxiliary air chamber is connected to the main air channel, and the other end penetrates the side wall of the fixed chamber.
[0008] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from a solar cell undercarriage transfer plate, the auxiliary air chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is directly connected to the main air duct, and the second chamber is set at a predetermined angle to the first chamber. The opening directions of the second chamber and the fixed chamber are opposite to the movement direction of the transmission mechanism.
[0009] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from the bottom return carrier plate of a solar cell, the first cavity includes a first end and a second end, and the width of the first cavity gradually increases from the first end to the second end; the thickness of the first cavity remains unchanged.
[0010] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from the bottom return carrier plate of a solar cell, the second cavity includes a third end and a fourth end. From the third end to the fourth end, the width of the second cavity gradually increases, and the thickness of the second cavity gradually decreases.
[0011] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning fragments of the lower return carrier plate of solar cells, the conveying mechanism includes a drive wheel, a mating groove and a bearing plate; the drive wheel is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material cavity, and multiple drive wheels are arranged along the length direction of the material cavity; the mating groove is sleeved on the drive wheel; the bearing plate is arranged between two mating grooves; the bearing plate is a perforated mesh plate.

[0014] Based on the above-mentioned device for cleaning debris from the lower return plate of a solar cell, the air inlet is located at the center of the side wall of the fixed cavity.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. In use, this solution uses a conveying mechanism to transport the solar cells.

[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] An apparatus for cleaning debris from a solar cell undercarriage transfer plate includes, but is not limited to, a conveying mechanism 1, a blowing mechanism 2, and a material chamber 3; the conveying mechanism 1 is disposed in the material chamber 3, and the bearing part of the conveying mechanism 1 has a hollow structure; the blowing mechanism 2 is disposed across the width direction of the conveying mechanism, and at least one blowing mechanism 2 is provided along the length direction of the conveying mechanism.
[0030] Based on the above structure, the battery cells are transported by the conveying mechanism 1. Since the conveying mechanism 1 has a hollow structure, when a battery cell is missing in a certain area during the transport, the blowing mechanism 2 can blow out air in a predetermined direction, so that the damaged battery cell will automatically fall off the conveying mechanism. This avoids the situation where the new battery cell is put on by the feeding machine later overlaps with the missing battery cell, causing the HJT battery cell coating to fail, thus improving the yield of the battery cells.
[0031] As an example, the purging mechanism 2 may include a fixed cavity 21, a main air passage 22, an air inlet 23, and an air outlet 24. The fixed cavity 21 is generally a cuboid structure. The main air passage 22 is arranged along the length of the fixed cavity 21. The air inlet 23 is located on the side walls at both ends of the fixed cavity 21, and the air outlet 24 is located at the bottom of one side of the fixed cavity 21. The air inlet 23 may be located at the center of the side wall of the fixed cavity 21.
[0032] Based on the above structure, compressed gas enters the main air passage 22 through the air inlet 23, and then is blown out from the air outlet 24 to the conveying mechanism 1, blowing the damaged battery cells off the conveying mechanism.
[0033] As an example, multiple auxiliary air chambers 25 are arranged sequentially along the length of the main airway 22. One end of the auxiliary air chamber 25 is connected to the main airway 22, and the other end passes through the side wall of the fixed cavity 21.
[0034] Based on the above structure, by setting multiple auxiliary air chambers 25, the compressed gas entering from the main air channel 22 can be transported to the auxiliary air chambers 25 along the length of the main air channel 22 while keeping the air pressure as constant as possible; this ensures that the air pressure output from each auxiliary air chamber 25 is the same as soon as possible, thus ensuring the efficiency of blowing off damaged battery cells.
[0035] As an example, the auxiliary air chamber 25 may include a first chamber 251 and a second chamber 252. The first chamber 251 is directly connected to the main airway 22, and the second chamber 252 is set at a predetermined angle to the first chamber 251. The opening direction of the second chamber 252 and the fixed chamber 21 is opposite to the movement direction of the transmission mechanism.
[0036] Based on the above structure, by setting the second cavity 252 and the first cavity 251 to a predetermined angle, the air outlet direction can be changed, so that the airflow can blow away the fragments 4.
[0037] As an example, the first cavity 251 may include a first end 253 and a second end 254, wherein the width dimension of the first cavity 251 is gradually increased from the first end 253 to the second end 254, while the thickness dimension remains unchanged.
[0038] The second cavity 252 may include a third end 255 and a fourth end 256. The width of the second cavity 252 gradually increases from the third end 255 to the fourth end 256, and the thickness of the second cavity 252 gradually decreases.
[0039] Based on the above structure, by setting the first cavity 251 and the second cavity 252 as flared structures, the air outlet area can be increased, allowing the gas to stay briefly in the first cavity 251 and the second cavity 252 before being compressed and discharged, thereby improving the purging efficiency.
[0040] As an example, the conveying mechanism 1 may include a drive wheel 11, a mating groove 12 and a bearing plate 13; the drive wheel 11 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material cavity 3, and multiple drive wheels 11 are arranged along the length of the material cavity 3; the mating groove 12 is sleeved on the drive wheel 11; the bearing plate 13 is arranged between two mating grooves 12; the bearing plate 13 may be a perforated mesh plate.
[0041] Based on the above structure, the drive wheel 11 drives the mating groove 12 to move, thereby driving the support plate 13 to move in a specified direction to realize the transmission of the battery cells.
[0042] As an example, the fixed cavity 21 is spaced at a predetermined distance from the bearing plate 13, and a plug can be provided on the air inlet 23. The size of the plug is 6mm.
[0043] Based on the above structure, there is a 2mm gap between the air inlet 23 and the air outlet 24, forming a small air duct. When compressed gas is introduced, the strong air pressure causes the compressed gas to be ejected from the air outlet 24, forming an air curtain above the carrier plate, which can effectively clean the solar cells on the moving carrier plate.
[0044] This solution ensures personnel safety and reduces production capacity loss from cleaning work. Based on a cleaning time of 10 minutes per substrate fragment 4 and a cleaning frequency of once per shift, it can increase production by 4,800 pieces per day. It also reduces the cost of defects caused by fragment 4. Based on a defect rate of 0.01% per machine per day, the cost of 104 solar cells can be recovered per day.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
