Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone technology, and in particular to a silicone curing device for solar panels. Background Technology
[0002] Silicone used in photovoltaic modules comes in two types: single-component and two-component. Currently, two-component silicone is more widely used in large-scale production. Two-component silicone is characterized by non-heating during curing, low shrinkage, no expansion, no internal stress, and the ability to cure both on the surface and internally simultaneously, allowing for deep curing. During curing, moisture in the air reacts chemically with the hydrolyzable groups in the crosslinking agent to form substances with active hydroxyl groups. These active substances further condense with the hydroxyl groups in the base polymer, forming a three-dimensional network elastomer.
[0003] A silicone curing device for photovoltaic module production, disclosed in announcement number CN220491901U, includes a workbench with a curing chamber connected to its top. The inner top wall of the curing chamber is equipped with a temperature regulator and a humidity regulator. An inlet and an outlet are respectively located on both sides of the curing chamber, and storage slots are respectively formed on the inner walls of the inlet and outlet. Two first door plates are slidably disposed inside the storage slots, and a first bidirectional lead screw is threaded through the top of each of the two first door plates. One end of the first bidirectional lead screw passes through the curing chamber and is connected to a first motor. This invention, through the design of the first door plates and the first adjustment plate, as well as the second door plate and the second adjustment plate, creates a sealing barrier, minimizing the contact area between the curing chamber and the outside environment when a container enters. This reduces the impact on the temperature and humidity inside the curing chamber, avoids readjustment, saves time, and allows the silicone to cure more quickly. However, when curing solar panels, the aforementioned device struggles to defoam the silicone, thus affecting the sealing effect of the solar panels. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new silicone curing device for solar panels to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silicone curing apparatus for solar panels to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a silicone curing device for solar panels, comprising: a curing box, a rotating door hinged to the right rear end of the curing box, a door handle fixedly connected to the left rear end of the rotating door, and an installation box installed at the bottom left side of the curing box;

By setting up the vacuum mechanism, it is easy to release the air in the curing chamber. After the vacuum degree reaches a certain level, the pressure is maintained for a period of time to ensure that the bubbles are completely removed.

A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting blocks, and an elastic plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate. The solar panel is reciprocated by the pressure plate on the connecting blocks to facilitate defoaming. By setting the elastic plate, the solar panel is protected, and the silicone inside the solar panel can be continuously squeezed and defoamed through elastic vibration.

After the vacuum degree reaches a certain level, the pressure is maintained for a period of time to ensure that the air bubbles are completely removed, thereby defoaming the solar cells. The connecting pipe facilitates the uniform and rapid adsorption and treatment of the air inside the curing chamber.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the left side of the connecting pipe is provided with several air holes, which facilitates the uniform and rapid adsorption and treatment of the air inside the curing chamber.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a sealing ring is installed at the front end of the rotating door, and a slot adapted to the sealing ring is provided in the curing box.

[0028] Example 2, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This embodiment solves the problem that existing devices struggle to defoam the silicone during the curing of solar panels, thus affecting the sealing effect of the solar panels. The silicone curing device for solar panels further includes a defoaming mechanism 6 comprising a motor 601 mounted at the rear end of the mounting box 5. The power output end of the motor 601 is connected to a rotating rod 602, which is rotatably connected to the mounting box 5. A toothed gear 603 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 602. A rack 604 meshes with the right side of the toothed gear 603. Slider blocks are connected to the front and rear ends of the rack 604. The curing box 1 has a groove adapted to the rack 604. The curing box 1 and the rack 604 form a sliding connection mechanism. The curing box 1 has an mounting groove adapted to the toothed gear 603. Several connecting blocks 605 are fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting plate 7. The number of connecting blocks 605 corresponds to the number of mounting plates 7, and the connecting blocks 605 are located above the mounting plates 7.
