Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar cell module laminator technology, and more specifically to a liquid-cooled structure for a multi-layer transfer platform. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of solar cell modules, the laminator is one of the key pieces of equipment, used to laminate multiple layers of materials into solar cell modules. After lamination, the modules need to be cooled at the unloading station to avoid the impact of high temperatures on subsequent processes and damage to module performance.

[0003] Traditional laminator cooling systems primarily employ fan cooling. However, with the development of solar cell module manufacturing technology, multilayer laminators are increasingly being widely used. These new laminators can process dozens of photovoltaic modules at a time, making the discharge platform a semi-enclosed space. In this context, traditional fan cooling systems suffer from the following problems and shortcomings:

[0004] Insufficient cooling efficiency: Fan cooling is inefficient and cannot cool components from over 100°C to 40°C-50°C in a short time. For multi-layer laminator discharge tables, dozens of components need to be cooled simultaneously, and traditional fan cooling methods cannot meet the demand for rapid cooling.

[0005] Space constraints: Due to the presence of protective devices, the discharge platform becomes a semi-enclosed space, which restricts the airflow effect of the fan cooling and further reduces the cooling efficiency.

[0006] High energy consumption: The fan cooling requires continuous operation, and its energy consumption is high in high-temperature environments, which is not conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0007] To solve the above problems and meet the cooling requirements of the multi-layer laminator discharge platform, there is an urgent need for a more efficient and energy-saving cooling system to replace the traditional fan cooling structure, thereby achieving a fast and efficient cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a liquid-cooled structure for a multi-layer transfer platform, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A liquid-cooled structure for a multi-layer transfer platform is located in the cooling area after the hot pressing process in a laminator; comprising:

[0011] A shelf, wherein the shelf is disposed on one side of the cooling area;

[0012] The cooling mechanism comprises multiple cooling mechanisms arranged on the shelf in a layered manner; each cooling mechanism has an air outlet facing the interior of the cooling area.

[0013] A coolant circulation pipeline is provided on one side of the shelf, and the coolant circulation pipeline is used to circulate and supply coolant into the cooling mechanism.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, this utility model replaces the traditional fan cooling method with a liquid cooling structure, which can quickly cool the components from above 100℃ to 40℃-50℃, meeting the rapid cooling requirements of the discharge platform of a multi-layer laminator. The cooling mechanism is arranged in layers on the shelf, making full use of the space in the cooling area and solving the impact of the semi-enclosed space in the discharge platform on cooling efficiency. Compared with the traditional fan cooling system, the liquid cooling system consumes less energy in high-temperature environments, which is beneficial for energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0015] Preferably, in the liquid-cooled structure of the multi-layer transfer platform described above, the shelf includes an upright frame and a multi-layer unit frame fixed to the upright frame. Each unit frame is divided into multiple cells by crossbeams, and the cooling mechanism is installed within each cell. The design of the upright frame and the multi-layer unit frame provides stable support for the cooling mechanism, ensuring the stability of the entire liquid-cooled structure. The cell arrangement makes the installation and maintenance of the cooling mechanism more convenient, and the number and layout of the cooling mechanism can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. By dividing the cells by crossbeams, the space of each layer of the shelf is rationally utilized, improving the space utilization rate of the cooling area.

[0016] Preferably, in the liquid-cooled structure of the multi-layer conveyor platform described above, the outer shell of the cooling mechanism is fastened to the edge of the cell using bolts. This bolted connection makes the connection between the cooling mechanism and the cell more robust and reliable, preventing the cooling mechanism from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other reasons during the cooling process. The bolted connection also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the cooling mechanism, making maintenance or replacement easier and reducing equipment maintenance costs and time.

[0017] Preferably, in the liquid-cooled structure of the multi-layer transfer platform described above, the cooling mechanism includes coiled cooling pipes and a fan facing the coiled cooling pipes. The fan blows air onto the coiled cooling pipes and exhausts the cooled air through the air outlet. The coiled cooling pipes increase the contact area between the coolant and the air, improving cooling efficiency; the fan further accelerates the airflow after cooling, making the cooling effect more significant. The fan evenly blows the cooled air to the cooling area, avoiding localized insufficient or excessive cooling and ensuring uniform cooling of the components.

[0018] Preferably, in the liquid-cooled structure of the multi-layer conveyor platform described above, the bottom of the cooling mechanism has a condensate recovery box, which is used to recover wastewater liquefied from the coiled cooling pipes and air. The condensate recovery box effectively recovers wastewater generated during the cooling process, preventing indiscriminate discharge and environmental pollution. It also prevents condensate from accumulating at the bottom of the cooling mechanism, reducing equipment corrosion and electrical malfunctions caused by a humid environment, and extending the equipment's service life.

[0019] Preferably, in the liquid-cooled structure of the multi-layer transfer platform described above, the coolant circulation pipeline includes a main inlet pipeline and a main return pipeline. The main inlet pipeline has branch pipelines corresponding to each layer of the unit frame, and the main return pipeline has branch pipelines corresponding to each layer of the unit frame. Multiple coiled cooling pipelines arranged in each layer are connected in series and form a circulation loop with the corresponding branch pipelines. Through the main inlet and return pipelines and their corresponding branch pipelines, efficient circulation of coolant in each layer of the cooling mechanism is achieved, ensuring stable coolant flow and pressure, and improving the overall performance of the cooling system. The series connection of the coiled cooling pipelines in each layer of the cooling mechanism forms an independent circulation loop, reducing the risk of coolant leakage during circulation and improving system reliability. The rational pipeline design reduces energy loss during coolant circulation, further reducing system energy consumption.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned liquid-cooled structure of a multi-layer transfer platform, the circulating inlet main pipeline and the circulating return main pipeline are fixed by pipeline supports. The pipeline supports ensure a more secure fixation of the circulating inlet and return main pipelines, preventing deformation or damage due to vibration or external forces, and ensuring the normal operation of the coolant circulation system. The pipeline supports can be rationally laid out according to actual space requirements, making the entire cooling system's pipeline arrangement neater and more aesthetically pleasing, and facilitating maintenance and repair. Stable pipeline fixation reduces the risk of coolant leakage and improves the safety of the entire liquid-cooled structure.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a liquid-cooled structure for a multi-layer conveyor platform, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Improved Cooling Efficiency: Utilizing a liquid cooling structure instead of traditional fan cooling, the system can rapidly cool components from over 100℃ to 40℃-50℃, meeting the rapid cooling requirements of multi-layer laminator discharge platforms and solving the problem of low efficiency in traditional cooling methods. Through fans and coiled cooling pipes within the cooling mechanism, cooled air is evenly blown onto the cooling area, ensuring uniform component cooling and avoiding localized insufficient or excessive cooling.

[0023] 2. Optimized Space Utilization: The cooling mechanism is arranged in layers on a shelf, which consists of uprights and multi-layer unit frames. Each unit frame is divided into multiple cells by crossbeams, making rational use of the cooling area space and solving the impact of the semi-enclosed space of the discharge platform on cooling efficiency. The cell layout makes the installation and maintenance of the cooling mechanism more convenient, and the number and layout of the cooling mechanism can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0024] 3. Reduced energy consumption: Compared with traditional fan cooling systems, liquid cooling systems consume less energy in high-temperature environments, which is conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction, and reduces energy consumption costs in the production process.

[0025] 4. Improved Equipment Stability and Reliability: The design of the upright frame and multi-layer unit frame provides stable support for the cooling mechanism, ensuring the stability of the entire liquid cooling structure. The outer shell of the cooling mechanism is fastened to the edge of the unit cells with bolts, further enhancing the stability of the equipment. The coolant circulation pipeline is fixed with pipeline supports to prevent deformation or damage to the pipeline due to vibration or external forces, reducing the risk of coolant leakage and improving system reliability. Bolted connections facilitate the disassembly and installation of the cooling mechanism, making maintenance or replacement easier and reducing equipment maintenance costs and time.

[0026] 5. Economic Benefits: By improving cooling efficiency and reducing energy consumption, the time and energy consumed in the production process are reduced, thereby lowering production costs and increasing production efficiency. The optimized structural design and reliable cooling system reduce equipment failure rates, extend equipment lifespan, and lower equipment replacement frequency and maintenance costs.
