Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air knife technology, and in particular to a novel segmented air knife for photovoltaic module production lines. Background Technology

[0002] In the photovoltaic module manufacturing process, the main function of the slicing air knife is to help keep the solar cells suspended during the cutting process, thereby reducing physical damage. Specifically, the air knife is installed above the solar cell suspension and separation device. By spraying high-speed airflow, it suspends the solar cells during cutting, preventing direct contact with the cutting tools and thus reducing fragmentation and breakage.
