[0004] In the above scheme, the first spring and the second spring can tension the welding strip in two directions by the guide cylinder, which can prevent the position of the welding strip from changing when it is tensioned with the nitrogen glass tube. However, it has the following disadvantages: when the welding strip is annealed, the heated welding strip is directly transferred to the annealing water tank for direct cooling, without preheating and precooling before cooling, which can cause internal stress or crystal structure defects in the welding strip due to rapid cooling, thereby reducing the annealing effect and quality of the welding strip.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the annealing water tank is fixed with a limiting roller.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] I. In the process of moving the photovoltaic welding strip to the annealing water tank, the L-shaped tube internal cavity is divided into two functional areas, namely the heat preservation cavity and the pre-cooling cavity, by the blocking plate. The annealed photovoltaic welding strip first enters the heat preservation cavity, and under the action of the heating sheet, the welding strip can maintain the temperature after annealing, effectively preventing the internal stress or crystal structure defects caused by rapid cooling. Through heat preservation treatment, the ductility and conductivity of the photovoltaic welding strip are ensured to be in the best state, providing reliable performance guarantee for subsequent application.

[0014] Subsequently, the photovoltaic welding strip enters the pre-cooling cavity through the discharge port, and the air cooler cools the welding strip, reducing its temperature, effectively preventing the material performance from being reduced due to the large temperature difference when the welding strip directly enters the annealing water tank, providing stable transition conditions for subsequent water cooling, and finally, the photovoltaic welding strip is completely cooled in the annealing water tank through water cooling, ensuring the stability of its crystal structure and the full elimination of internal stress.

[0015] Through the cooperation of the heating sheet, the first temperature display, the air cooler and the second temperature display, precise temperature control, uniform heating and segmented cooling of the photovoltaic welding strip during annealing are realized, so that the staff can flexibly adjust the temperature in the heat preservation cavity and the pre-cooling cavity through the first temperature display and the second temperature display according to the annealing requirements of the photovoltaic welding strip, so that the welding strip can be heat preserved and pre-cooled before cooling, thereby improving the annealing efficiency and quality of the photovoltaic welding strip.

[0016] II. The limiting strip can limit the photovoltaic welding strip before it enters the L-shaped tube, so that the limiting strip can exert downward pressure on the photovoltaic welding strip under the pre-tightening force of the spring, thereby controlling the position and tension of the photovoltaic welding strip, preventing the photovoltaic welding strip from breaking due to excessive tension or relaxing due to insufficient tension, thereby ensuring the quality of the photovoltaic welding strip. The gas inlet port can facilitate the staff to inject inert gas into the annealing tube, and the inert gas can prevent the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip from oxidizing and maintain its good conductivity and welding performance.

[0017] III. The annealing roller is used to support and guide the movement of the photovoltaic welding strip in the annealing water tank, ensuring that the welding strip remains flat during annealing and avoiding deformation caused by gravity or uneven tension. At the same time, through the rotation of the annealing roller, the photovoltaic welding strip uniformly contacts the cooling medium (such as water), improving the cooling efficiency. The limiting roller can raise the distance between the photovoltaic welding strip and the top surface of the annealing water tank, reducing the friction between the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip and the top surface of the annealing water tank, effectively preventing scratches on the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip during transmission, thereby improving the quality of the photovoltaic welding strip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As Figures 1-5 shown, an annealing device for photovoltaic welding strip includes a mounting frame 1 fixed to the front side of an annealing water tank 2. The top surface of the annealing water tank 2 is fixed with a single-chip microcomputer, the model of which is STM32. The top surface of the mounting frame 1 is fixed with an annealing tube 3. The inside of the annealing tube 3 is equipped with a heating device for heating the photovoltaic welding strip. The annealing tube 3 has an existing structure and will not be described here.

The L-shaped tube 5 is fixed with a second temperature display 11. The sensing ends of the first temperature display 8 and the second temperature display 11 both extend into the L-shaped tube 5. The heating sheet 7, the first temperature display 8, the cold air blower 10, and the second temperature display 11 are all electrically connected with the single-chip microcomputer. The inner wall of the L-shaped tube 5 is fixed with a blocking plate 12. The top surface of the blocking plate 12 is provided with a discharge outlet 13. The blocking plate 12 divides the internal cavity of the L-shaped tube 5 into two parts. The upper cavity is a heat preservation cavity, and the lower cavity is a pre-cooling cavity.

[0026] In use, during the movement of the photovoltaic welding strip towards the annealing water tank 2 (not shown in the figure), the division of the internal cavity of the L-shaped pipe 5 by the blocking plate 12 divides the internal cavity of the L-shaped pipe 5 into two functional areas, namely a heat preservation cavity and a pre-cooling cavity. The heated photovoltaic welding strip first enters the heat preservation cavity, and under the action of the heating sheet 7, the welding strip can maintain the temperature after annealing, effectively preventing the internal stress or crystal structure defects caused by rapid cooling. Through heat preservation treatment, the ductility and conductivity of the photovoltaic welding strip are ensured to be in the best state, providing reliable performance guarantee for subsequent application.

[0027] Subsequently, the photovoltaic welding strip enters the pre-cooling cavity through the discharge port 13 under the action of the flow guide plate 501, and the cooling fan 10 cools the welding strip, thereby reducing its temperature, effectively preventing the performance degradation of the welding strip due to the large temperature difference when it directly enters the annealing water tank 2, and providing stable transition conditions for subsequent water cooling. Finally, the photovoltaic welding strip is completely cooled by water cooling in the annealing water tank 2, ensuring the stability of its crystal structure and the full elimination of internal stress.

[0028] Through the cooperation of the heating sheet 7, the first temperature display 8, the cooling fan 10 and the second temperature display 11, precise temperature control, uniform heating and segmented cooling of the photovoltaic welding strip during the annealing process are realized. The staff can flexibly adjust the temperature in the heat preservation cavity and the pre-cooling cavity through the first temperature display 8 and the second temperature display 11 according to the annealing requirements of the photovoltaic welding strip, so that the welding strip can be heat preserved and pre-cooled before cooling, thereby improving the annealing efficiency and quality of the photovoltaic welding strip.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-3 The front side of the L-shaped pipe 5 is fixed with a limiting plate 14, the top surface of the limiting plate 14 is provided with a plurality of through holes 15, the lower side of the limiting plate 14 is provided with a limiting strip 16, the top surface of the limiting strip 16 is fixed with a plurality of connecting columns 17, the connecting columns 17 are slidably inserted into the through holes 15, the outer wall of the connecting columns 17 is wound with springs 18, the top end of the springs 18 is fixed with the bottom surface of the limiting plate 14, the bottom end of the springs 18 is fixed with the top surface of the limiting strip 16, the outer wall of the annealing pipe 3 is fixed with an air inlet 19, and the air inlet 19 extends into the annealing pipe 3.

[0030] In use, the limiting strip 16 can limit the photovoltaic welding strip before it enters the L-shaped pipe 5, so that the limiting strip 16 can exert downward pressure on the photovoltaic welding strip under the pre-tightening force of the springs 18, thereby controlling the position and tension of the photovoltaic welding strip, preventing the photovoltaic welding strip from being broken due to excessive tension or relaxed due to insufficient tension, and thereby ensuring the quality of the photovoltaic welding strip. Through the air inlet 19, the staff can conveniently inject inert gas into the annealing pipe 3, and the inert gas can prevent the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip from being oxidized, thereby maintaining its good conductivity and welding performance.

[0031] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the left side of the annealing water tank 2 is fixed with a drive motor 20, the drive motor 20 is electrically connected with the single-chip microcomputer, the output shaft of the drive motor 20 extends into the annealing water tank 2, one end of the output shaft of the drive motor 20 is fixed with an annealing roller 21, and the top surface of the annealing water tank 2 is fixed with a limiting roller 22.

[0032] In use, after the photovoltaic welding strip passes through the pre-cooling cavity, it penetrates into the feeding port 4, then bypasses the annealing roller 21 to contact the surface of the annealing roller 21, and then moves upwardly in the annealing water tank 2 to the surface of the limiting roller 22, and then moves horizontally to the right to the winding device, the annealing roller 21 is used to support and guide the movement of the photovoltaic welding strip in the annealing water tank 2, so as to ensure that the welding strip remains flat during the annealing process, and deformation caused by gravity or uneven tension is avoided, at the same time, through the rotation of the annealing roller 21, the photovoltaic welding strip uniformly contacts the cooling medium (such as water), so as to improve the cooling efficiency. The limiting roller 22 can raise the distance between the photovoltaic welding strip and the top surface of the annealing water tank 2, can reduce the friction between the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip and the top surface of the annealing water tank 2, and can effectively prevent the surface of the photovoltaic welding strip from being scratched during the transmission process, so as to improve the quality of the photovoltaic welding strip.
