Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery cell transfer equipment, and in particular to a gridless battery cell transfer line after printing. Background Technology
[0002] The production process of solar cells typically includes processes such as welding and adhesive printing. Adhesive printing mainly involves printing UV adhesive dots on the main busbars on both sides of the solar cell, and fixing the solder ribbon and the solar cell by curing the UV adhesive dots.
[0003] To facilitate the transfer of solar cells between welding, printing, and subsequent processes, a conveyor structure is typically used. Existing conveyor mechanisms usually include a flat belt that carries and moves the solar cells. The drive unit of the transmission mechanism rotates the flat belt, thereby moving the solar cells.
[0004] However, after the adhesive is applied, there are adhesive dots on the solar cells. When using a flat conveyor belt, adhesive may stick to the surface of the belt, which may even affect the subsequent transport of other solar cells.
[0005] Furthermore, as the conveyor belt speed increases, the flat belt is prone to slippage and misalignment, which can cause friction between the solar cells and the belt, leading to cell displacement and even wear of the adhesive dots on the solar cells, thus affecting the yield rate of the solar cells.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This utility model provides a conveyor line for gridless solar cells after adhesive printing. By incorporating through holes in the conveyor belt and a suction device, the suction device, when activated and connected to the through hole, generates negative pressure within the through hole.

Furthermore, the first groove prevents adhesive from adhering to the conveyor belt 22 and also prevents mutual compression between the conveyor belt and the adhesive dots on the gridless solar cells when they are drawn in through the through hole, further increasing yield.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] See Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a conveyor line for transferring gridless solar cells 100 after adhesive printing. The conveyor line includes a main frame 1, a transmission device 2, and a suction device 3, both mounted on the main frame 1. The transmission device 2 includes a transmission belt 21 and a drive unit 22 for driving the transmission belt 21. A first groove 210 is provided on the end face of the transmission belt 21 facing the gridless solar cell 100, directly opposite the adhesive dots 200 on the gridless solar cell 100. The transmission belt 21 also has several through holes 211. The suction device 3 has several suction ports 30. When the suction device 3 is activated and the suction ports 30 are in communication with the through holes 211, a negative pressure is generated within the through holes 211 to attract the gridless solar cell 100 to the end face of the transmission belt 21.
[0033] Through the above solution, a through hole 211 is provided on the conveyor belt 21, and the suction device 3 works in conjunction with it. When the suction device 3 is activated and the suction port 30 is in communication with the through hole 211, a negative pressure is generated inside the through hole 211. This allows the printed gridless solar cell 100 to be adsorbed onto the end face of the conveyor belt 21, preventing the gridless solar cell 100 from shifting relative to the conveyor belt 21. This avoids friction between the solar cell and the flat belt, prevents wear of the adhesive dots on the solar cell, and improves the yield rate. In addition, the first groove prevents adhesive from sticking to the conveyor belt 21. It also prevents mutual compression between the conveyor belt 21 and the adhesive dots 200 on the gridless solar cell 100 when the gridless solar cell 100 is adsorbed through the through hole 211, further increasing the yield rate.
[0034] To avoid the negative pressure generated in the through hole 211 affecting the glue spot 200, the through hole 211 and the glue spot 200 are offset.
[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 To prevent air leakage in the area between the through hole 211 and the air inlet 30, and thus increase the adsorption effect, the conveyor belt 21 is provided with a second groove 212 on the side away from the gridless solar cell 100. The through hole 211 is connected to the second groove 212. The main frame 1 is provided with a first protrusion 10 that is slidably connected to the second groove 212. The wall surface of the first protrusion 10 is in contact with the wall surface of the second groove 212, thereby making the area between the through hole 211 and the air inlet 30 relatively closed, so that the negative pressure generated by the through hole 211 is greater, and the adsorption effect on the gridless solar cell 100 is better.
[0036] Furthermore, the main frame 1 includes two first beams 11 arranged opposite to each other, and several second beams 12 connecting the two first beams 11; each first beam 11 is provided with a third groove 13 for installing the conveyor belt 21, and the first protrusion 10 is located in the third groove 13.
[0037] It is understood that both first beams 11 are provided with third grooves 13 for mounting the conveyor belt 21, thereby increasing the contact area between the gridless solar cell 100 and the conveyor belt 21, making the gridless solar cell 100 more evenly stressed and more stably placed. To ensure transmission efficiency, the transmission length of the conveyor belt 21 is usually relatively long, resulting in a larger span for the first beams 11. In this design, a second beam 12 connects the two first beams 11, effectively increasing the stability of the first beams 11.
[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air intake device 3 includes a first air intake channel 31, a second air intake channel 32, and a third air intake channel 33. The first air intake channel 31 is disposed on the first beam 11 and extends along the conveying direction of the gridless solar cell 100. The first air intake channel 31 is connected to the air intake port 30 located on the same first beam 11. The second air intake channel 32 and the third air intake channel 33 are both located on the second beam 12, and the two ends of the second air intake channel 32 are respectively connected to the two first air intake channels 31. The third air intake channel 33 connects the second air intake channel 32 and the air intake device. It can be seen that when the air intake device is turned on, the airflow direction in the air intake device 3 is: air intake port 30, first air intake channel 31, second air intake channel 32, third air intake channel 33, and air intake device (see...). Figure 4 The middle arrow indicates the direction.
[0039] See Figures 1 to 6 The drive unit 22 includes a drive shaft 220, a first pulley 221 and a second pulley 222; the first pulley 221 and the second pulley 222 are arranged in pairs and correspond one-to-one with the transmission belt 21; a single transmission belt 21 is wound around one of the pairs of first pulleys 221 and second pulleys 222.
[0040] It is known that when conveying the gridless solar cell 100, an external power structure (such as a power system consisting of a motor, a reducer, and a transmission gear set) drives the drive shaft 220 to rotate. During the rotation of the drive shaft 220, the two first pulleys 221 mounted on the drive shaft 220 rotate synchronously. Through the transmission belt 21, the first pulleys 221 and their paired second pulleys 222 rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the conveying of the gridless solar cell 100.
[0041] To achieve adjustable tension of the conveyor belt 21, the second pulley 222 is connected to the main frame 1 via a tensioning structure 4. The tensioning structure 4 includes a fixed block 41, an adjusting block 42, and an adjusting screw 43. The fixed block 41 is fixed to the main frame 1 and threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 43. One end of the adjusting screw 43 is rotatably connected to the adjusting block 42, and its rotation adjusts the sliding of the adjusting block 42. The second pulley 222 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting block 42. It can be seen that the adjusting screw 43 is positioned from the first pulley 221 towards the second pulley 222. During adjustment, rotating the adjusting screw 43 adjusts the distance between the fixed block 41 and the adjusting block 42, further adjusting the distance between the second pulley 222 and the first pulley 221, thus achieving adjustment of the conveyor belt 21.
[0042] Furthermore, the adjusting block 42 is provided with a first straight groove 5, and the main frame 1 is provided with a second straight groove 6. The first straight groove 5 and the second straight groove 6 are arranged opposite to each other. When the adjusting block 42 is adjusted to the preset position, the fastener passes through the first straight groove 5 and the second straight groove 6 to fix the adjusting block 42 and the main frame 1. The fastener can be a bolt and nut. The length of the first straight groove 5 and the second straight groove 6 can be set according to actual needs, so that when the distance between the adjusting block 42 and the fixed block 41 is adjusted within a certain adjustment range, the fastener can achieve a stable connection between the adjusting block 42 and the main frame 1, so as to ensure the stable installation of the adjusting block 42 and the second pulley 222.
[0043] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 It also includes a battery cell backlight device 7; the battery cell backlight device 7 includes an acrylic plate 71 and a second protrusion 72 disposed on the acrylic plate 71; the acrylic plate 71 is provided with a fourth air intake channel 73, one end of the fourth air intake channel 73 is located on the second protrusion 72, and the other end is connected to the air intake device through an air pipe connector 74.
[0044] Furthermore, the wall of the second protrusion 72 is in contact with the wall of the second groove 212; the end of the fourth suction channel 73 on the second protrusion 72 is offset from the adhesive dot 200.
[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
