Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of silicon wafer production, and in particular to an IV probe array for OBB production. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic silicon wafers (hereinafter referred to as silicon wafers) are the core component of solar power generation systems and also the most valuable part. The function of silicon wafers is to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in batteries or used directly as a power source. In existing silicon wafers, the front side has main grid lines. These main grid lines can block the surface of the solar cell, affecting the cell's absorption of light and thus its power generation efficiency. In newer silicon wafers, the main grid lines on the front side are eliminated, forming OBB silicon wafers. The quality of OBB silicon wafers needs to be inspected during the production process.

Tension springs are fixed on the front and rear connectors, and gold wires connect the two corresponding tension springs. The circuit board is fixed to the rear end of the mounting frame, and a wire connects the circuit board to the rear mounting strip.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the front mounting strip is provided with a front guide groove in the horizontal direction, and the front connecting seat slides in the front guide groove; the rear mounting strip is provided with a rear guide groove in the horizontal direction, and the rear connecting seat slides in the rear guide groove.

This IV probe array for 0BB production mainly functions in IV detection on 0BB silicon wafers. Working together with the silver array, it can effectively detect broken wafers. Under the action of the taut gold wire, it makes elastic contact with the auxiliary gate on the silicon wafer. The structure is novel and the position of the gold wire can be adjusted according to the position of the auxiliary gate. While reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the production of 0BB silicon wafers, it also reduces the breakage rate. Attached Figure Description

The mounting frame 1 is provided with a front mounting strip 3 and a rear mounting strip 4. A front connector 5 is distributed horizontally on the front mounting strip 3, and a rear connector 6 is distributed horizontally on the rear mounting strip 4. Tension springs 7 are fixed on the front connector 5 and the rear connector 6. A gold wire 8 connects the two corresponding tension springs 7. The circuit board 2 is fixed to the rear end of the mounting frame 1, and a wire 9 connects the circuit board 2 and the rear mounting strip 4.

[0020] The two ends of the gold wire 8 are fixed to the tension spring 7 of the front connecting seat 5 and the tension spring 7 of the rear connecting seat 6, respectively. The position and distance between the front mounting strip 3 and the rear mounting strip 4 are controlled so that the tension spring 7 pulls the gold wire 8 taut. The gold wire 8 can keep taut and contact the auxiliary gate of the OBB silicon wafer.

[0022] Locking blocks 12 are installed on both sides of the rear end of the mounting frame 1. Locking bolts 13 are provided on the rear mounting strip 4. The locking bolts 13 pass through the rear mounting strip 4 and are threaded onto the locking blocks 12. By turning the locking bolts 13, the position of the rear mounting strip 4 on the mounting frame 1 is controlled, thereby controlling the distance between the rear mounting strip 4 and the front mounting strip 3, so that the Shudie gold wire 8 can remain taut.
