[0002] With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry and the increasing demand for production capacity, the emergence of half-wafer encapsulation for solar cells can significantly increase production capacity. This necessitates passivation coating treatment on the cut surfaces of the slicing half-wafers. However, the jetting components of the reaction chamber in edge passivation equipment require regular maintenance to prevent process gases from accumulating in the jetting holes and causing blockages, thus affecting equipment performance. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically open the reaction chamber cover to remove the internal jetting components for maintenance, cleaning, and any abnormalities requiring repair.
[0003] However, the existing reaction chamber consists of a chamber body and a matching chamber lid, and the chamber lid has the following shortcomings during production and use:
[0004] Because the jet assembly is mounted on the chamber cover, the chamber cover is relatively heavy. Therefore, when maintenance is required, manual removal or opening of the chamber cover usually requires the use of auxiliary tools such as forklifts, which greatly reduces the safety factor when removing or opening the chamber cover.

Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.
[0034] The principle and structure of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] The existing edge passivation equipment's reaction chamber jet assembly requires regular maintenance to prevent process gas residue from clogging the jet holes and affecting equipment performance. Therefore, it's necessary to periodically open the reaction chamber cover to remove the internal jet assembly for maintenance, cleaning, and any abnormalities. However, because the jet assembly is mounted on the cover, making the cover quite heavy, manual removal or opening of the cover usually requires forklifts or other auxiliary tools, significantly reducing the safety factor during this process.
[0037] Therefore, to solve the above problems, refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and 3 The present invention proposes a cavity cover, including a cavity cover body 11 for matching and covering the cavity of the reaction cavity 1. The cavity cover body 11 is provided with at least one lifting structure 3. The lifting structure 3 includes a mounting base 31, a lifting drive device 32, a limiting member 33 and a guide rod 34.
[0038] The mounting base 31 is provided with a lifting drive device 32. At least one limiting member 33 is provided on the mounting base 31 on both sides of the lifting drive device 32. Each limiting member 33 is sleeved on the corresponding guide rod 34 and slidably connected to the guide rod 34. The top of all the guide rods 34 is connected to the cavity cover body 11.
[0039] The output end of the lifting drive device 32 is connected to the guide rod 34.
[0040] It should be noted that the lifting structure 3 in this embodiment is also provided with a main control unit (not shown, the same throughout the text). The main control unit is electrically connected to the host computer and the lifting drive device 32 respectively. The user can control the opening or closing of the cavity cover relative to the cavity of the reaction chamber 1 through the host computer. The lifting drive device 32 in this embodiment is preferably a lifting cylinder. And the bottom of the cavity cover facing the cavity of the reaction chamber 1 is provided with an air jet assembly. The air jet assembly is used to passivate the cross-section of the half silicon wafer placed in the cavity after slicing.
[0041] Specifically, refer to the appendix Figure 3 In order to better and more stably open or close the cavity cover body 11 relative to the cavity of the reaction cavity 1, a lifting structure 3 is connected to each of the opposite sides of the cavity cover body 11.
[0042] The lifting drive device 32 is vertically provided in the middle of the mounting base 31, and the upper part of the mounting base 31 and the two sides of the lifting drive device 32 are provided with limiting members 33.
[0043] It should be noted that the lifting drive devices 32 of both lifting structures 3 are electrically connected to the same solenoid valve (not shown, the same throughout the text). This solenoid valve is electrically connected to the main control unit so that the main control unit can synchronously control the lifting drive devices 32 of the two lifting structures 3 to perform lifting or lowering movements. Of course, the lifting structures 3 can also be set in three or more depending on the actual situation, which is not limited here.
[0044] In this embodiment, after the cavity cover is matched and closed with the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1, when the cavity cover needs to be opened relative to the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1, the main control unit activates the lifting drive device 32. The lifting drive device 32 drives the cavity cover body 11 to perform a lifting movement through the guide rod 34, so as to open the cavity cover relative to the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1 and prevent the cavity cover from tipping over. Similarly, after the cavity cover is opened relative to the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1, when the cavity cover needs to be matched and closed with the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1, the main control unit activates the lifting drive device 32. The lifting drive device 32 drives the cavity cover body 11 to perform a lowering movement through the guide rod 34, so as to close the cavity cover relative to the cavity body of the reaction chamber 1.
[0045] Furthermore, when the cavity cover body 11 is closed relative to the cavity of the reaction chamber 1, the lifting structure 3 can always provide a downward force to the cavity cover body 11, so that the cavity cover body 11 fits perfectly into the cavity and plays a pressing role, thereby obtaining the vacuum degree required when the reaction chamber 1 is working in a vacuum.
[0046] Therefore, compared to the traditional solution where "forklifts and other auxiliary tools are usually needed when removing or opening the chamber cover of the reaction chamber", this application only needs to use the lifting structure 3 to automatically open or close the chamber cover of the reaction chamber 1, which greatly improves the safety factor when removing or opening the chamber cover and ensures the safety of operators and equipment.
[0047] To further improve the safety factor when removing or opening the cavity cover, please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and 3 The lifting structure 3 also includes a fall protection device 36;
[0048] The mounting base 31 has an inwardly accommodating groove (not shown, same throughout) corresponding to the guide rod 34 in the middle. Each accommodating groove is matched with a fall protection device 36, and the output end of the fall protection device 36 faces the guide rod 34.
[0049] The output end of the fall arrestor 36 can extend and contact the corresponding guide rod 34.
[0050] It should be noted that the anti-fall device 36 in this embodiment is preferably an anti-fall cylinder.
[0051] Thus, when the main control unit controls the guide rod 34 to perform a lifting movement through the lifting drive device 32, and the cavity cover is fully opened relative to the cavity of the reaction chamber 1, the main control unit then activates the anti-fall device 36, so that the anti-fall device 36 extends its output end (equivalent to the piston rod of the anti-fall device 36) to contact the guide rod 34, thereby supporting and locking the corresponding guide rod 34, preventing the cavity cover body 11, the limiting member 33, and the guide rod 34 from falling, ensuring the stability of the cavity cover body 11 and / or the guide rod 34 in its lifting position, and ensuring the safety of operators and equipment.
[0052] Furthermore, when the lifting drive device 32 controls the guide rod 34 to descend, the main control unit will first control the fall protection device 36 to retract its output end, and then control the lifting drive device 32 and the guide rod 34 to descend.
[0053] To prevent damage to the sealing surface of the cavity cover from the connection between the cavity cover body 11 and the first connecting member 35, please refer to the attached document. Figure 1-2 The cavity cover body 11 has a square protrusion 112 extending outward on both sides corresponding to the lifting structure 3. A first connector 35 is connected to the protrusion 112, and the first connector 35 is connected to the top of all the guide rods 34.
[0054] It should be noted that the first connector 35 is fitted onto the top of the boss 112 and bolted together, which ensures that the bolts will not damage the sealing surface of the cavity cover.
[0055] To enhance the rigidity and stability of the guide rod 34 and prevent deformation or damage during lifting or lowering, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and 3 The lifting structure 3 also includes a guide rod reinforcement 37, the middle part of which is connected to the output end of the lifting drive device 32, and the two ends of which are horizontally connected to the corresponding guide rods 34.
[0056] In order to enable the lifting drive device 32 to open the cavity cover relative to the reaction cavity 1 more effectively and smoothly, refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and 3 A second connecting member 38 is vertically provided between the guide rod reinforcement 37 and the first connecting member 35.
[0057] It should be noted that the second connector 38 is preferably an "I" shaped structure.
[0058] One issue is that the sealing surface area of the chamber cover is too large, causing slight stress deformation between the sealing surface of the chamber cover and the chamber body during vacuum production in reaction chamber 1. This results in the vacuum level not meeting the standard. To solve this problem, refer to the attached... Figure 1 and 3The cavity cover body 11 is provided with multiple reinforcing plates 111 on the top facing away from the cavity, so as to prevent the cavity cover body 11 from deforming when it is closed relative to the cavity of the reaction cavity 1.
[0059] To further prevent deformation of the cavity cover body 11 when it closes relative to the cavity of the reaction chamber 1, the reinforcing plate 111 located on the top of the cavity cover body 11 is arranged in a grid pattern.
[0060] To prevent the guide rod 34 from disengaging from the corresponding limiting member 33 during the lifting movement, refer to the attached document. Figure 1 and 3 Each guide rod 34 has an anti-detachment component 39 at its bottom away from the first connector 35.
[0061] It should be noted that the size of the anti-detachment component 39 is larger than the size of the guide rod 34, and the anti-detachment component 39 cannot pass through the corresponding limiting component 33.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] See attached document Figure 1 This utility model also proposes an edge coating device, including a frame 2, on which a reaction chamber 1 is provided. The reaction chamber 1 includes the aforementioned chamber cover and a cavity body that matches and fits the chamber cover.
[0064] The mounting base 31 is installed on the side of the frame 2, and the cavity cover is provided with an air jet assembly facing the bottom of the cavity. The air jet assembly is used to passivate the cross-section of the half silicon wafer after slicing placed in the cavity.
[0065] The usage process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0066] When it is necessary to open the cavity cover relative to the cavity, the main control unit controls the lifting drive device 32 to perform a lifting motion, so that the lifting drive device 32 drives the cavity cover body 11 to perform a lifting motion through the guide rod 34, so as to fully open the cavity cover relative to the cavity. Then the main control unit controls the output end of the anti-fall device 36 to extend towards the corresponding guide rod 34 and make contact.
[0067] Similarly, when it is necessary to close the cavity cover relative to the cavity, the main control unit first controls the output end of the anti-fall device 36 to retract to its original position, and then the main control unit controls the lifting drive device 32 to perform a downward movement, so that the lifting drive device 32 drives the cavity cover body 11 to perform a downward movement through the guide rod 34, so as to close the cavity cover relative to the cavity.
