Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Electroplating is one of the methods for metallizing solar cells. The electroplating process typically involves using an electroplating machine to plate conductive grid lines onto the surface of the solar cell. After electroplating, the metal foil on the cell needs to be removed. Currently, the metal foil is removed by clamping copper foil with a clamping plate and then using a robotic arm to pull the cell and peel off the foil. Because the clamping plate is flat and the metal foil is relatively smooth, slippage may occur during removal, resulting in some residual metal foil that cannot be removed. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figure 1As shown, this application provides a clamping device, including a fixed member 10 and a movable member 20 arranged at relatively intervals, the movable member 20 being movable toward the fixed member 10. The fixed member 10 has a first working surface, and the movable member 20 has a second working surface, the first working surface and the second working surface being arranged facing each other. A first clamping assembly 30 is provided on the first working surface, the first clamping assembly 30 including a first clamping member 31, the tilt angle of the first clamping member 31 relative to the first working surface being adjustable. A second clamping assembly 40 is provided on the second working surface, the second clamping assembly 40 including a second clamping member 41, the tilt angle of the second clamping member 41 relative to the second working surface being adjustable. The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 can cooperate and be used to clamp materials.
[0030] Reference Figures 2-4 As shown, when using the above-mentioned clamping device, the material to be clamped is placed in the gap between the first working surface and the second working surface. The moving part 20 is controlled to move towards the fixed part 10, so that the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 41 come into contact with the material and clamp it. After clamping the material, the tilt angle of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 41 can be adjusted. The clamping device of this application can be used to clamp and tear off the metal foil on the battery cell. By adjusting the tilt angle of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 41, the tearing angle between the metal foil and the battery cell can be changed to improve the stability of clamping the metal foil and reduce the peeling force, thereby achieving a better tearing effect on the metal foil and reducing the residue of metal foil on the battery cell.
[0031] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 31 has a first clamping surface for contacting the material, the initial position of which is inclined relative to the first working surface. The second clamping member 41 has a second clamping surface for contacting the material, the initial position of which is inclined relative to the second working surface. The first clamping surface and the second clamping surface are arranged parallel to each other.
[0032] The initial position of the first clamping surface is inclined relative to the first working surface, and the initial position of the second clamping surface is inclined relative to the second working surface, so that the material can be clamped by the inclined first clamping surface and the second clamping surface and then the inclination angle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 can be adjusted.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 30 further includes a first elastic member 32 and a first support member 33. One end of the first elastic member 32 is connected to the first working surface, and the other end is connected to the first clamping member 31. One end of the first support member 33 is connected to the first working surface, and the other end is connected to the first clamping member 31. The second clamping member 41 further includes a second elastic member 42 and a second support member 43. One end of the second elastic member 42 is connected to the second working surface, and the other end is connected to the second clamping member 41. One end of the second support member 43 is connected to the second working surface, and the other end is connected to the second clamping member 41.
[0034] The first clamping assembly 30 includes a first elastic member 32 and a first support member 33, and the second clamping member 41 includes a second elastic member 42 and a second support member 43. After the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 clamp the material, by continuing to control the moving member 20 to move towards the fixed member 10, the first support member 33 can support the first clamping member 31, and the second support member 43 can support the second clamping member 41. At the same time, the first elastic member 32 and the second elastic member 42 are squeezed, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41. Furthermore, after the work is completed, the moving member 20 can be controlled to move away from the fixed member 10, thereby restoring the tilt angle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 to its original position, facilitating reuse.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first support member 33 is a rigid first support member 33.
[0036] In some embodiments, the second support 43 is a rigid second support 43.
[0037] In some embodiments, the first elastic element 32 is a spring.
[0038] In some embodiments, the second elastic element 42 is a spring.
[0039] In some embodiments, the initial height of the first elastic member 32 is higher than that of the first support member 33. The initial height of the second elastic member 42 is higher than that of the second support member 43.
[0040] The initial height of the first elastic member 32 is higher than that of the first support member 33, and the initial height of the second elastic member 42 is higher than that of the second support member 43. This facilitates the compression of the first elastic member 32 and the second elastic member 42 after the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 clamp the material, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 32 and the second support member 43 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0042] The first elastic member 32 and the second support member 43 are arranged opposite to each other. After the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41 clamp the material, the first elastic member 32 can be squeezed by one side of the second clamping member 41 supported by the second support member 43, and the second elastic member 42 can be squeezed by one side of the first clamping member 31 supported by the first support member 33, so as to facilitate the synchronous adjustment of the tilt angle of the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41.
[0043] In some embodiments, an anti-slip layer is provided on the first clamping surface.
[0044] The anti-slip layer on the first clamping surface can improve the stability of clamping the metal foil by the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41.
[0045] In some embodiments, an anti-slip layer is provided on the second clamping surface.
[0046] The anti-slip layer on the second clamping surface can improve the stability of clamping the metal foil by the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 41.
[0047] In some embodiments, the anti-slip layer is a rubber anti-slip layer.
[0048] In some embodiments, a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 41 constitute a working group, which is used to clamp a material. There are multiple working groups, which are arranged sequentially and at intervals.
[0049] Multiple work groups arranged in a sequential, spaced-out manner can simultaneously clamp multiple materials, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first working surface has multiple grooves, and a first clamping assembly 30 is connected to the bottom wall of each groove.
[0051] The first clamping component 30 is positioned in the groove on the first working surface, which facilitates positioning.
[0052] In some embodiments, the clamping device further includes a control member 50. The control member 50 is connected to the movable member 20 and is used to control the movement of the movable member 20.
[0053] In some embodiments, the clamping device further includes a limiting member 60. The limiting member 60 is disposed on the first working surface and extends toward the second working surface. The limiting member is used to limit the distance between the first working surface and the second working surface.
[0054] By setting the limiting member 60 on the first working surface and extending toward the second working surface, the maximum distance that the moving member 20 can move toward the fixed member 10 can be limited, preventing excessive squeezing between the first clamping assembly 30 and the second clamping assembly 40 from causing damage to the material or clamping device.
[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0056] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims, and the specification and drawings can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
