Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screen, concretely to a novel metal screen. BACKGROUND

[0002] Screen technology has the advantages of simple process, large graphic design space, and suitability for large-scale production, and has become a widely used technology in the electronic field. For example, in the field of solar cells, a printing screen is an important tool for printing electrodes of solar cells. The printing screen generally includes a screen frame and screen gauze stretched in the screen frame. Conductive paste is poured onto the screen, and a squeegee is used to move the conductive paste on the screen gauze, so that the conductive paste is extruded through the grid line holes on the screen gauze to the solar cell to form a corresponding pattern on the solar cell, thereby forming an electrode of the solar cell. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the existing metal screen includes an upper screen 1 and a lower screen 2, both of which are integrally manufactured from nickel alloy material. The width of the upper grid line hole 11 is different from that of the lower grid line hole 21, and a right-angle step is formed between the two. The squeegee cannot reach the right-angle step when scraping the conductive paste, so that the conductive paste in the right-angle step will be continuously accumulated and formed into a block. The slow-pressure grid line groove 12 also adopts a right-angle structure, which will also accumulate the conductive paste into a block. If the block-shaped conductive paste enters the solar cell to form an electrode, it will greatly affect the conductivity of the solar cell, and even cause waste products, resulting in increased production cost.

The two side walls of the upper grid line hole adopt a symmetrical arc-shaped structure with the opening facing upward. The bottom end of the two side walls of the upper grid line hole is connected to the top end of the two side walls of the lower grid line hole.

[0005] Preferably, the upper screen is made of stainless steel material, the lower screen is made of nickel alloy material, and the upper screen and the lower screen are connected and fixed by welding.

[0006] Preferably, a slow-pressure grid line groove is provided between adjacent upper grid line holes on the upper screen, and the depth of the slow-pressure grid line groove is less than the thickness of the upper screen.
