Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of weight measurement technology, and in particular to a battery silicon wafer weight testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of solar cell silicon wafers / cells, weighing is required at many stages. For example, in the texturing and alkaline polishing processes, the silicon wafers need to be weighed before and after the texturing or alkaline polishing process to calculate the weight loss; in the screen printing process, the cells need to be weighed before and after screen printing to calculate the wet weight.

[0003] In related technologies, one weighing method involves placing the silicon wafer directly on the surface of an electronic balance. However, this method can easily cause the silicon wafer to come into contact with the weighing pan during the weighing process, contaminating the solar cells and leading to rework. To solve this problem, related technologies, such as patent document 202122071053.0, typically design a weighing bracket to suspend the silicon wafer, thereby minimizing the contact area between the weighing pan and the silicon wafer. However, with advancements in manufacturing processes, silicon wafers are becoming thinner and larger. This suspended placement method may cause the silicon wafer to break due to uneven force or additional pressure. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a battery silicon wafer weight testing device, including an electronic balance with a raised weighing pan and an openable housing above the electronic balance, the housing being used to prevent air from flowing from above the weighing pan.

[0006] The bottom area of ​​the box is larger than the upper surface area of ​​the weighing pan;

[0007] An auxiliary component is placed on the weighing pan, and a battery silicon wafer is placed flat on the auxiliary component.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0031] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] In related technologies, one method of weighing solar cell silicon wafers is to place them directly on the surface of an electronic balance. However, this method can easily cause the silicon wafer to come into contact with the weighing pan during the weighing process, contaminating the wafer and leading to rework. To solve this problem, related technologies, such as patent document 202122071053.0, typically design a weighing bracket to suspend the silicon wafer, thereby minimizing the contact area between the weighing pan and the wafer. However, as silicon wafers become thinner and larger, this suspended placement method may cause the wafer to break due to uneven force or additional pressure. Furthermore, this patent adds a support plate to the weighing pan. Since electronic balances for weighing solar cells / silicon wafers have high precision, prolonged pressure from objects on the weighing pan surface can cause deformation of the internal sensing spring beneath the pan, affecting weighing accuracy.

[0033] Based on this, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a battery silicon wafer weight testing device, referring to... Figure 1 Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the silicon wafer weight testing device of this application.

[0034] In this embodiment, the battery silicon wafer weight testing device includes an electronic balance with a raised weighing pan and an openable housing above the electronic balance to prevent air from flowing from above the weighing pan.

[0035] The bottom area of ​​the box is larger than the top surface area of ​​the weighing pan.

[0036] An auxiliary component is placed on the weighing pan, and a battery silicon wafer is placed flat on the auxiliary component. The auxiliary component is sulfur-free paper.

[0037] The enclosure includes a base plate fixed to the upper surface of the electronic balance, four surrounding baffles located above the base plate, and an openable cover connected to the surrounding baffles.

[0038] Understandably, the upper surface of the electronic balance includes the weighing pan 110 and the base. In this embodiment, a housing can be added to the base of the electronic balance. In a specific example, holes can be made at the screw holes of the electronic balance, and the housing can be fixed to the base of the electronic balance using screws.

[0039] The housing includes a base plate 210 fixed to the electronic balance base, four surrounding baffles 220 disposed above the base plate, and an opening / closing cover 230, wherein the area of ​​the base plate 210 is larger than the area of ​​the electronic balance base. An auxiliary component, which can be sulfur-free paper, is placed on the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance.

[0040] Understandably, as silicon wafers become larger, a larger weighing space is needed to accommodate their weight. This embodiment uses a larger base plate area to allow the silicon wafer to lie flat on the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance, preventing it from being bumped and broken. The enclosure, with its surrounding baffles 220 and hinged cover 230, forms a closed space, preventing external airflow from affecting the weighing of the silicon wafer.

[0041] Silicon wafers are extremely sensitive to contamination, and the surface of the electronic balance pan 110 may contain grease, dirt, or other residues. Silicon wafers typically have a high degree of smoothness and brittleness, and direct contact with the electronic balance pan can cause surface scratches or abrasion. Sulfur-free paper is placed on the electronic balance pan. This soft, smooth, and non-corrosive paper provides a buffer layer for the silicon wafer, effectively preventing surface damage from direct contact. Simultaneously, sulfur-free paper generally has low electrostatic accumulation characteristics, reducing the adhesion of micro-dust caused by electrostatic adsorption, protecting the silicon wafer surface from micro-dust contamination, and further ensuring the stability of the weighing results.

[0042] In one specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 The silicon wafer weight testing device also includes a first weighing component, which includes a weighing plate 202, the area of ​​which is larger than the surface area of ​​the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance.

[0043] The weighing plate 202 is engaged with the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance through a snap-fit ​​groove 201 provided on the lower surface of the weighing plate 202; the outer contour shape of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is consistent with the outer contour shape of the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance.

[0044] Sulfur-free paper is placed in the sulfur-free paper placement area on the upper surface of the weighing plate 202, and the weighing plate 202 is used for the horizontal placement of silicon wafers.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first weighing component is placed on the weighing pan of the electronic balance. This first weighing component provides a larger weighing surface for the electronic balance, offering more space for the silicon wafers and meeting the weighing requirements of large-size silicon wafers, thus avoiding edge suspension due to an insufficient weighing surface. Simultaneously, a snap-fit ​​groove 201 is used to snap the first weighing component onto the weighing pan, allowing for flexible placement and removal of the groove. This prevents the internal sensing spring from being deformed due to prolonged pressure from external objects on the weighing pan 110, which would affect its lifespan. The sulfur-free paper placement area on the upper surface of the weighing plate is used to prevent the sulfur-free paper from deviating or sliding. It is understood that the outer contour shape of the snap-fit ​​groove 201 is consistent with the outer contour shape of the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance. In this embodiment, the weighing pan 110 of the electronic balance is circular; therefore, the snap-fit ​​groove 201 can also be circular to achieve a snap-fit ​​with the circular weighing pan.

[0046] In another specific embodiment, a first mounting groove is also provided on the upper surface of the weighing plate. The first mounting groove is used to install a second weighing component, and sulfur-free paper is placed inside the second weighing component.

[0047] The second weighing component includes a mounting bracket 203 and a weighing basket 205 connected to the mounting bracket by a rope. The weighing basket 205 is provided with a flexible weighing net, and sulfur-free paper is provided above the flexible weighing net. The second weighing component is mounted on the first mounting groove through the mounting bracket 203.

[0048] The mounting bracket 203 is also provided with a second mounting slot 204, which is used to install other second weighing components.

[0049] Because silicon wafers are very thin, they are difficult to remove after being placed on the weighing pan 110 for weighing. In this embodiment, the second weighing component consists of a mounting bracket 203 and a weighing basket 205. The weighing basket 205 is equipped with a flexible weighing net, on which sulfur-free paper is laid to hold the silicon wafer. In this embodiment, the weighing basket and the mounting bracket are connected by a rope, allowing the silicon wafer to be easily placed and removed by lifting or moving the weighing basket. In actual operation, simply holding the bottom of the flexible weighing net by hand will create an angle between the silicon wafer and the net surface, making it easier to remove the silicon wafer from the weighing basket and reducing the difficulty of operation and the risk of silicon wafer breakage due to misoperation.

[0050] The second weighing component can be flexibly placed and removed from the first mounting slot via the mounting bracket 203. At the same time, the second mounting slot 204 on the second weighing component 203 can accommodate the placement of multiple second weighing components to accommodate the simultaneous testing of multiple silicon wafers. In a specific example, each second weighing component is responsible for weighing one silicon wafer to avoid mutual adsorption or additional wear caused by stacking multiple silicon wafers.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base plate includes a display opening for the electronic balance level ball.

[0052] The opening angle of the 230mm cover is no more than 90°.

[0053] At least one non-connecting side of the opening and closing cover 203 is provided with a fastening male part 232, a handle 231 is provided on the top of the opening and closing cover 203, and fastening female parts 233 are provided on the surrounding baffles 220 corresponding to the fastening male part. A bottom plate slot 211 is provided on the bottom plate 210, and the surrounding baffles 220 are engaged with the bottom plate 210 through the bottom plate slot 211.

[0054] In this embodiment, the opening and closing cover 230 is disposed above the surrounding baffles 220 and can be hinged to the surrounding baffles 220. The opening and closing cover 230 is provided with a handle 231 for easy opening. The opening and closing angle of the cover is no greater than 90°, so that the testing device occupies as little space on the table as possible to facilitate experimental operation.

[0055] The bottom plate 210 of the enclosure has an opening at the level bead position of the electronic balance 100, exposing the level bead for easy leveling. Simultaneously, a male fastener 232 is provided on at least one non-connecting side of the opening / closing cover 230, a handle 231 is provided on the top of the opening / closing cover 230, and female fasteners 233 are provided on the surrounding baffles 220 corresponding to the male fastener 232. It can be understood that the male fastener 232 and the female fastener 233 can be used to integrate the opening / closing cover 230 with the surrounding baffles 220. In actual operation, the opening / closing cover 230 and the surrounding baffles 220 can be lifted from the bottom plate slot 211 using the handle for easy cleaning of the enclosure and installation of components.

[0056] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
