Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic cells, the battery piece needs to be laser cut to realize the piece of battery piece. The battery piece cutting operation requires the position of the battery piece to have high precision. In order to ensure the high-precision cutting operation of the battery piece, many methods are proposed in the prior art. Among them, patent CN118989675A discloses a stringer that integrates cell deviation rectification, transmission, laser scribing and post-scribing detection. A vision camera is provided upstream of the cutting station to obtain the position of the battery piece. A deviation rectification platform is also provided at the station. According to the position information obtained by the vision camera, the position of the battery piece is rectified. Then, a lifting translation mechanism is used to translate the rectified battery piece under the laser cutting head to achieve precise scribing. However, the battery piece needs to be transferred to the next station after completing the position rectification at the vision rectification station, which is low in efficiency.

[0003] In addition, patent CN222269056U discloses a laser cutting assembly and a photovoltaic stringer with the same.

However, the carrying path of the carrying mechanism in this structure is long, and the idle time is relatively long, which also reduces the production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic deviation rectifying laser cutting device to solve the above technical problems.

[0033] The end section of the conveying line 1 is set as a photographing station, which comprises at least one conveying position, and each conveying position corresponds to one battery piece 200. In this embodiment, the photographing station comprises two conveying positions, and two vision cameras 3 are arranged above to simultaneously obtain the position information of two battery pieces.

[0034] The conveying line 1 comprises a third driving member 12 and a plurality of conveying belts 11 driven by the third driving member 12 to circulate. The conveying belts 11 are suspended by a bracket into the photographing station, and a space for the removal and deviation correction mechanism 4 to move up and down at the photographing station is reserved below.

[0035] The removal and deviation correction mechanism 4 comprises an X-axis driving module 41, a third support plate 45 driven by the X-axis driving module 41 to move left and right horizontally, a Z-axis driving module 46 fixed on the third support plate 45, a first support plate 42 driven by the Z-axis driving module 46 to move up and down, a deviation correction driving module 43 fixed on the first support plate 42, and a suction support platform 44 driven by the deviation correction driving module 43 to adjust the angle of the battery piece 200 to a set state.

[0036] The X-axis driving module 41 drives the adsorption support platform 44 to reciprocate with the battery piece between the photographing station and the receiving platform 5, and cooperates with the laser cutting mechanism 2 to realize the cutting operation of the battery piece. The Z-axis driving module 46 drives the adsorption support platform 44 to move up and down to realize the transfer of the battery piece between the conveying line 1 and the adsorption support platform 44, and between the adsorption support platform 44 and the receiving platform 5. The deviation correction driving module 43 drives the adsorption support platform 44 to adjust the horizontal angle to realize the angle adjustment of the battery piece, so that it passes through the laser cutting mechanism 2 according to the set angle posture.

[0037] In the embodiment, the adsorption support platform 44 is rotatably arranged on the first support plate 42, and the deviation correction driving module 43 includes a first driving member 431 fixed on the first support plate 42 and driving the adsorption support platform 44 to rotate. The rotary transmission of the first driving member 431 can adopt belt transmission or gear and rack meshing transmission, or direct driving of a rotary motor, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0038] In the embodiment, two transmission belts 11 are arranged, and the adsorption support platform 44 is provided with an avoidance through slot 441 avoiding the transmission belts 11, which penetrates left and right. In other embodiments, more transmission belts 11 can be arranged, which is mainly designed flexibly according to the size of the incoming battery piece.

[0039] The adsorption support platform 44 includes a plurality of parallel and spaced support rods 443, and the avoidance through slot 441 is formed between adjacent two support rods 443. The surface of the support rod 443 is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 442 adsorbing the battery piece.

[0040] The deviation correction driving module 43 and the adsorption support platform 44 jointly constitute a deviation correction support module, and at least two groups of deviation correction support modules are arranged on the first support plate 42.

At the same time, the laser cutting head 23 is adjusted to the corresponding position in the Y direction according to the position information. Then, the battery piece passes through the laser cutting head 23 under the action of the X-axis driving module 41, and the cutting of the battery piece is completed.

When the deviation driving module 43 can realize the adjustment of the position and angle, the laser cutting mechanism 2 can not be provided with a position adjusting mechanism in the Y direction, that is, the second driving member 21 is not needed.

[0047] Embodiment 3:

[0048] The embodiment is basically the same as the structure of the embodiment 1, and the difference is that, in the embodiment, the right side of the laser cutting mechanism 2 is not provided with the receiving platform 5, but a discharging conveying line which is collinear with the conveying line 1.

[0052] Embodiment 5

[0053] The embodiment is basically same as the structure of the embodiment 1, and the difference is that the left side of the laser cutting mechanism 2 is not provided with the conveying line 1 in the embodiment, and the battery piece is directly carried to the photographing station by the carrying mechanism, and the battery piece is carried by the adsorption support platform 44 at the photographing station.

[0054] Embodiment 6

[0055] The embodiment is basically same as the structure of the embodiment 1, and the difference is that, as shown in the Figure 6 The conveying line 1 conveys the sheet to the photographing station along the Y direction, and the avoiding through slot 441 on the adsorption support platform 44 extends parallel to the Y direction.
