Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screen printing equipment technology, specifically a screen printing device for photovoltaic cells. Background Technology
[0002] As a key piece of equipment in photovoltaic cell production, the screen printing equipment for photovoltaic cells is closely related to the optimization needs of photovoltaic cell electrode preparation processes. Screen printing technology forms electrodes by printing conductive paste onto the surface of the cell, which directly affects the current collection efficiency and reliability of the cell. As the photovoltaic industry increases its requirements for cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the equipment needs to take into account printing accuracy, efficiency and yield in order to meet the needs of large-scale mass production.
[0003] As disclosed in CN222473634U, a photovoltaic cell screen printing device includes a bottom frame, a placement groove on the top of the bottom frame, a slot on the rear side of the bottom frame, the slot extending into the bottom frame, the slot being located at the bottom of the placement groove, a photovoltaic cell body being placed inside the slot, a printing plate being placed inside the placement groove, and two support plates being provided on the top of the bottom frame, with two support rods fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two support plates.
[0004] Although it achieves this through the setting of printing components and collection frames, the setting of printing components allows the paste to be evenly sprayed onto one side of the scraper through the discharge head when printing the photovoltaic cell body. This makes it convenient for the scraper to print the photovoltaic cell body. At the same time, the excess paste can be scraped to one side of the bottom frame and collected by the inclined groove and collection frame. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the printing plate, reducing the labor intensity. At the same time, the collection device placed at the bottom of the collection frame can collect the paste and reuse it, reducing the waste of paste.
[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing screen printing devices of this type are generally not conducive to the convenient transport of photovoltaic cells during use, which affects the convenience of transporting photovoltaic cells and the ability to print multiple sets of photovoltaic cells sequentially, thus affecting the printing time between each set of photovoltaic cells and the printing efficiency of the screen printing device.
