Furthermore, for debris detection and processing equipment, especially in applications involving camera detection devices, a flat background plate is required, and a background plate of a specific color, such as red, is needed to more accurately capture image information of the debris. However, existing debris handling and detection technologies cannot completely avoid the problem of debris remaining in the camera detection area in practical applications, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies urgently need a solution that can effectively address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] In existing technologies, debris handling devices are mainly used to collect and process battery cell debris. However, these devices are relatively simple, relying primarily on the tilting of a debris slide plate to collect the debris. This method can meet the collection needs of lightweight debris to some extent, but for heavier debris, if the tilt angle is insufficient, it is difficult to effectively clean it, resulting in incomplete debris processing. Furthermore, for debris detection and processing equipment, especially in applications involving camera detection devices, a flat background plate is required, and a background plate of a specific color, such as red, is needed to more accurately capture image information of the debris. However, existing debris handling and detection technologies cannot completely avoid the problem of debris remaining in the camera detection area in practical applications, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0035] Therefore, existing technologies urgently need a solution that can effectively address the above problems.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a solar cell production equipment, which includes a solar cell debris cleaning device to clean debris. This effectively improves the aforementioned technical problems, enhances the degree of debris removal, avoids debris residue, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of test results.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a battery cell fragment cleaning device including a conveying module 10, a background plate 20, and a conveying module 30. The conveying module 10 is used to transport battery cells. The background plate 20 is disposed below the conveying module 10, and the edge of the background plate 20 is located outside the conveying module 10. The conveying module 30 is connected to the background plate 20 and is used to drive the background plate 20 to move, so that the background plate 20 and the conveying module 10 are in the same direction and at the same speed.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying module 10 includes a conveying motor and a conveying frame 11, which are connected. The background plate 20 is located below the conveying frame 11, which is used to transport battery cells. The conveying frame 11 has an I-shaped structure. The battery cells are lowered onto the conveying frame 11 by an external moving device. The conveying frame 11 moves under the drive of the conveying motor, thereby realizing the transportation of battery cells.

[0039] It should be noted that existing debris handling devices primarily rely on the tilting of a debris slide plate to collect debris. While this method can meet the collection needs of lightweight debris to some extent, it is ineffective for larger debris if the tilt angle is insufficient, resulting in incomplete debris handling. Existing technologies use a actuator to identify debris, but the entire sensing device is cumbersome to operate, and during the rotation of the sensing device, issues such as excessively large debris or insufficient tilt angle may prevent debris from being properly removed. To address this technical problem, the battery cell debris cleaning device provided in this embodiment allows the conveying module 10 to move multiple battery cells during use. The background plate 20 is positioned below the conveying module 10, with its edge located outside the conveying module 10. Debris falling from the conveying module 10 will remain on the background plate 20. Since the background plate 20 can move under the drive of the conveying module 30 and can move in the same direction and at the same speed as the conveying module 10, the background plate 20 and the conveying module 10 are relatively stationary. Even if debris remains on the background plate 20, it can be cleaned up in time by following the movement of the background plate 20, thus preventing debris residue on the background plate 20 from affecting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent test results.

[0040] Specifically, there are at least two background boards 20, which are arranged adjacent to each other and together form a background area, with the edge of the background area located outside the transmission module 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are three background boards 20, which are arranged adjacently to form a square background area that can completely cover the transmission module 10.

[0042] In other embodiments, the number of background plates 20 may be increased or decreased, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] It should be noted that the conveying module 30 includes a driver 31 and a transmission component 32. The driver 31 and the transmission component 32 are connected, and the transmission component 32 is connected to the background plate 20. The transmission component 32 is used to drive the background plate 20 to move under the drive of the driver 31.

[0044] In this embodiment, the transmission component 32 is a transmission shaft, the driver 31 is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the transmission shaft, thereby driving the transmission shaft to rotate.

[0045] Figure 3 The structural diagram of the background board 20 is shown in detail below.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3The background plate 20 has an annular strip structure. The drive shaft contacts the inner side of the background plate 20. The drive shaft is connected to the driver 31, which drives the drive shaft to rotate, causing the drive shaft to move the background plate 20. The background plate 20 is connected end to end to form an annular structure. Three drive shafts are provided on the inner side of the background plate 20. Two drive shafts contact the two ends of the annular structure formed by the background plate 20, and one drive shaft is located in the middle of the background plate 20 and contacts the inner side of the background plate 20.

[0047] During operation, the driver 31 drives three transmission shafts to rotate simultaneously and in the same direction, causing the three transmission shafts to move the background plate 20. When there are fragments on the upper surface of the background plate 20, since the background plate 20 is in a moving state, the fragments on the background plate 20 can move with the background plate 20. When the fragments move to the end position of the background plate 20, they can fall off the background plate 20 under their own gravity, thus avoiding the residue of fragments on the background plate 20, which would affect subsequent inspection work.

[0048] In this embodiment, the background plate 20 is a red background plate 20, so that the image information of the fragments can be captured more accurately during subsequent detection work.

[0049] Figure 4 The structural diagram of the support frame 33 is shown in detail below. The specific structure of the support frame 33 will be explained in detail below.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The conveying module 30 also includes a support frame 33, which is connected to the transmission component 32 and is used to support the transmission component 32. Each transmission shaft is equipped with a support frame 33 at both ends for support.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support frame 33 includes a strut 331 and a support portion 332. The strut 331 is arranged vertically, and the support portion 332 is disposed at the top of the strut 331. The support portion 332 has an arc-shaped structure, and the drive shaft is installed in the support portion 332. The arc-shaped support frame 33 can distribute the load on the drive shaft more evenly, reduce local stress concentration, and help extend the service life of the drive shaft. The arc-shaped support frame 33 can better fit the shape of the drive shaft, providing more stable support. Furthermore, the arc-shaped support frame 33 can better wrap the drive shaft, preventing the drive shaft from falling off the support frame 33 during high-speed movement, thus improving safety.

[0052] In this embodiment, the driver 31 is a motor.

[0053] Furthermore, the battery cell debris removal device also includes a debris collection box, which is located below the background panel 20 to collect battery debris on the background panel 20. The debris collection box facilitates subsequent centralized removal of debris by staff.

[0054] In addition, the battery cell debris cleaning device also includes an imaging module, which is positioned above the conveying module 10. The imaging module is used to take pictures of the background plate 20 to form a detection image. The imaging module includes a camera.

[0055] The battery cell debris cleaning device provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0056] Existing debris handling devices primarily rely on the tilting of debris slides to collect debris. While this method can meet the collection needs of lightweight debris to some extent, it is difficult to effectively clean up larger debris if the tilt angle is insufficient, resulting in incomplete debris removal. Existing technologies use actuators to identify debris, but the entire sensing device is cumbersome to operate, and during the rotation of the sensing device, problems such as excessively large debris or insufficient tilt angle may prevent debris from being completely removed. To address this technical problem, the battery cell debris cleaning device provided in this embodiment allows the conveying module 10 to move multiple battery cells during use. The background plate 20 is positioned below the conveying module 10, with its edge located outside the conveying module 10. Debris falling from the conveying module 10 will remain on the background plate 20. Since the background plate 20 can move under the drive of the conveying module 30 and can move in the same direction and at the same speed as the conveying module 10, the background plate 20 and the conveying module 10 are relatively stationary. Even if debris remains on the background plate 20, it can be cleaned up in time by following the movement of the background plate 20, thus preventing debris residue on the background plate 20 from affecting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent test results.

[0057] The battery cell debris cleaning device provided in this embodiment can clean debris remaining on the background plate 20, greatly reducing camera misjudgment, increasing the output of normal cells on the production line, reducing the probability of line workers entering the main unit, and reducing the occurrence of dirt. A debris collection box is placed under the background plate 20 to collect and process debris in a timely manner. The installation of this device greatly reduces camera misjudgment and increases the output of normal cells on the production line.

[0058] In summary, this utility model provides a battery cell fragment cleaning device and a battery cell production equipment. The battery cell fragment cleaning device includes a conveying module 10, a background plate 20, and a conveying module 30. The conveying module 10 is used to transport battery cells. The background plate 20 is disposed below the conveying module 10, and the edge of the background plate 20 is located outside the conveying module 10. The conveying module 30 is connected to the background plate 20 and is used to drive the background plate 20 to move, so that the background plate 20 and the conveying module 10 are in the same direction and at the same speed. In use, the conveying module 10 can move multiple battery cells. The background plate 20 is located below the conveying module 10, and the edge of the background plate 20 is located outside the conveying module 10. Fragments falling from the conveying module 10 will remain on the background plate 20. Since the background plate 20 can move under the drive of the conveying module 30 and can move in the same direction and at the same speed as the conveying module 10, the background plate 20 and the conveying module 10 are relatively stationary. Even if fragments remain on the background plate 20, the fragments can be cleaned up in time by following the movement of the background plate 20, thereby avoiding the fragments remaining on the background plate 20 from affecting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent test results.

[0059] The solar cell production equipment includes a solar cell debris cleaning device. During operation, the conveyor module 10 can move multiple solar cells. The background plate 20 is positioned below the conveyor module 10, with its edge located outside the conveyor module 10. Debris falling from the conveyor module 10 will remain on the background plate 20. Because the background plate 20 can move under the drive of the conveyor module 30 and can move in the same direction and at the same speed as the conveyor module 10, the background plate 20 and the conveyor module 10 are relatively stationary. Even if debris remains on the background plate 20, it can be cleaned up promptly by following the movement of the background plate 20, thus preventing debris residue from affecting the accuracy and reliability of subsequent testing results.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
