Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of coating glass manufacturing technical field, specifically to a kind of coating solidification integrated equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Photovoltaic cells generally need to be combined together to form photovoltaic modules, and the outer side of the photovoltaic module needs a protective layer. The protective layer needs to have good compression resistance and good light transmittance. Photovoltaic glass is one of the best materials for the protective layer. It can protect the crystalline silicon cell and has high light transmittance itself. Therefore, the optical properties of photovoltaic glass are an important factor in crystalline silicon technology. However, it is much easier to maintain and improve the optical properties of photovoltaic glass than to develop crystalline silicon cells with higher conversion efficiency. The cost is much lower. Therefore, it is very urgent for both module manufacturers and terminal markets to develop and produce photovoltaic glass with higher light transmittance. Currently, the mainstream process for improving the optical properties (light transmittance) of photovoltaic glass is to coat the surface of the glass using a roller coating device. However, with the increasing demand for higher light transmittance of photovoltaic glass, single-layer coating cannot meet the requirements of light transmittance, and double-layer coating has been developed.

[0003] Currently, the double-layer coating process on the market generally involves coating the first layer, then pre-curing in an oven, and then coating the second layer. The oven usually uses hot air drying. However, the oven has the problems of large floor area, low efficiency, high energy consumption, incomplete drying, and uneven drying. Therefore, it is easy to cause quality problems of the coating layer.

[0004] In the traditional coating process, coating and curing are divided into two devices, which have inconsistent conveying speeds, leading to inconsistent drying times and total drying times at different parts of the coating layer, resulting in property differences at different parts of the coating layer. Therefore, when using the traditional process for coating and curing, the following problems may occur: (1) a hot air drying oven (oven) is needed, but the overall structure of the oven device is large and has high energy consumption; (2) the efficiency of drying using the oven device is low; (3) complete and uniform drying cannot be guaranteed when using the oven; (4) since coating and curing are divided into two devices, the conveying speeds of the coating process and the drying process cannot be absolutely consistent, which cannot guarantee that the time from coating the coating liquid on the glass to the start of drying at each part of the glass is completely consistent. Therefore, the curing rate of the coating layer at each position cannot be completely the same, the physical and chemical properties of the coating layer at different parts cannot be consistent, and the coating quality is affected.
