Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of silicon wafer production, and in particular to an IV probe array for BC cell 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. BC cells, short for Back Contact Batteries, are an advanced solar cell technology. Their characteristic feature is that the emitter, surface field, and metal electrodes are all located on the back of the cell and arranged in an interdigitated pattern. During the production of silicon wafers for these modules, IV testing is required. Probes and circuits collect current and voltage signals for software analysis to test their energy storage capacity. This testing requires a corresponding IV probe array. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in this embodiment, an IV probe array for BC battery production includes a mounting frame 1 and several elastic probes 2. A square mounting platform 3 is provided in the middle of the mounting frame 1. Several probe slots are provided on the square mounting platform 3 along the vertical direction. The probe slots are evenly distributed and parallel to each other. The elastic probes 2 pass through the probe slots. There are two voltage points 4 on each side of the square mounting platform 3. The voltage points 4 are located on the elastic probes 2. A temperature control detection hole 5 is provided at the center of the mounting frame 1. The temperature control detection hole 5 is used to monitor the imaging changes of the silicon wafer.

[0022] The mounting frame 1 is a separate unit. During molding, the middle is a square mounting platform 3. A through probe groove is opened along the top and bottom of the middle position. The elastic probe 2 passes through the probe groove. The position of the temperature control detection hole 5 is a dedicated hole for the infrared probe to monitor the imaging changes of the silicon wafer. When the entire mounting frame 1 moves up and down, the elastic probe 2 makes elastic contact with the silicon wafer of the BC battery, thereby realizing IV detection.

[0023] The elastic probe 2 includes a needle sleeve 6 and a needle 7. The lower end of the needle sleeve 6 is provided with an installation position, and the upper end of the needle 7 is inserted into the installation position. The needle 7 moves elastically back and forth, and the needle 7 is inserted from the lower end of the needle sleeve 6 to form an elastic structure.

[0024] The lower outer periphery of the needle sleeve 6 is provided with a circular protrusion 8, which is engaged with the upper end of the square mounting platform 3, effectively preventing the elastic probe 2 from retracting too far upward and thus limiting its position.

[0025] In terms of specific structure, the middle of the mounting frame 1 protrudes upwards, and the square mounting platform 3 is located in the middle of the protrusion, which makes it easier to make the elastic probe 2 contact the silicon wafer.

[0026] Mounting holes 9 are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 1, through which the entire IV probe array is installed to the corresponding mechanism or equipment.

[0027] On this IV probe array, the elastic probes 2 are distributed in an array. The spacing between each column of elastic probes 2 is equal, and the spacing between each row of elastic probes 2 is equal. The array distribution can also be changed according to actual use.

[0028] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles applied thereto. Within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, any variations or substitutions that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
