Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cell production equipment, and particularly relates to a cell string discharging device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic cells, after the cell string processing is completed, the cell string still needs to be detected. If the cell string is a qualified product, it is sent to a tray for storing qualified products. If the cell string is an unqualified product, it is sent to a tray for storing unqualified products. The current discharging mode after the cell string detection is generally to use a carrying mechanism to carry the cell string after printing glue to a detection station for detection, and then to the corresponding tray. Since the cell string detection may have a judgment error, manual re-inspection is generally required after the first detection of unqualified products, which leads to a long detection time. The cell string after printing glue needs to wait for the detection result of the previous repeated detection before being taken away by the carrying mechanism, which leads to the shutdown of the printing glue process for waiting, and the problem of low work efficiency.

[0051] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] In the production process of photovoltaic cells, after the battery string is processed, the battery string needs to be detected. If the battery string is qualified, it is sent to a tray for storing qualified products. If the battery string is unqualified, it is sent to a tray for storing unqualified products. The current unloading mode after detection of the battery string is generally to carry the battery string after printing and gluing to the detection station by a carrying mechanism for detection, and then to the corresponding tray. Since the detection of the battery string may have errors, manual re-inspection is generally required after the first detection of unqualified products, which leads to a long detection time. The battery string after printing and gluing needs to wait for the detection result of the previous repeated detection before being taken away by the carrying mechanism, which leads to the shutdown of the previous printing and gluing process for waiting, and the problem of low work efficiency.

[0073] ​It can be seen that by arranging the first and second pickup assemblies 13 and 23 to further include the power-on detection assembly 132, power-on detection of the battery string 80 picked up by the first and second pickup assemblies 13 and 23 is achieved; meanwhile, the power-on detection assembly 132 is integrated on the first and second pickup assemblies 13 and 23, so that the first and second pickup assemblies 13 and 23 implement power-on detection of the battery string 80 in the process of carrying the battery string 80, without the need to separately arrange a power-on detection process, and the advantages of compact structure, high integration and improved detection efficiency of the battery string 80 are achieved.

[0074] As an implementation, the power-on detection assembly 132 includes two detection portions 133, a first detection portion 133 is arranged at a first end of the support beam 130 in the second direction, and a second detection portion 133 is arranged at a second end of the support beam 130 in the second direction. The detection portion 133 includes an upper pressing head 1330, a lower pressing head 1331, and a third driving member 1332. The upper pressing head 1330 is fixedly and electrically connected to the support beam 130.

The third driving member 1332 is connected to the lower pressing head 1331. The third driving member 1332 is configured to drive the lower pressing head 1331 to move and rise in the second direction, so as to clamp the end of the battery string 80 picked up by the corresponding first pickup assembly 13 through the cooperation of the upper pressing head 1330 and the lower pressing head 1331, and then make the upper pressing head 1330 contact the end tab group of the battery string 80, so that the upper pressing head 1330 is electrically connected to the end tab group of the battery string 80.

[0075] Specifically, the third driving member 1332 includes a first air cylinder, a horizontal moving plate, a second air cylinder, and a lifting plate.

By electrically connecting the upper pressing head 1330 of the two detection portions 133 to the tab groups at the two ends of the battery string 80 in the second direction, respectively, power-on detection of the battery string 80 picked up by the first pickup assembly 13 or the second pickup assembly 23 is achieved, and the structure is simple, stable and reliable in operation, and the detection result is accurate.

[0078] It can be seen that, by spacing the two cameras 32, it is ensured that the shooting ranges of the cameras 32 cover the battery string 80 picked by the first picking assembly 13 or the second picking assembly 23, and the accuracy of the detection result is ensured; at the same time, the picking ends of the first picking assembly 13 and the second picking assembly 23 are downward, when the first picking assembly 13 and the second picking assembly 23 are transversely moved above the two cameras 32, the upward shooting ends of the two cameras 32 implement photographing on the battery string 80 picked by the first picking assembly 13 or the second picking assembly 23, without the need to adjust the position of the battery string 80 picked by the first picking assembly 13 or the second picking assembly 23, and the appearance detection efficiency of the battery string 80 is improved.

[0080] Specifically, the tray driving member 43 is a pneumatic cylinder, the third driving assembly 71 is a double-axis transfer mechanism formed by a horizontal transfer linear driving module and a lifting pneumatic cylinder, and the third picking assembly 72 is a plurality of groups of suction cups arranged along the second direction.

[0086] S4, according to the final detection result, the first carrying mechanism 10 carries the battery string 80 to the first tray or the second tray 41.

[0087] It should be noted that, during the process of carrying the picked battery string 80 to the detection station 50 by the first carrying mechanism 10 in step S2 or after carrying the battery string 80 to the detection station 50, the second carrying mechanism 10 can pick up the battery string 80 after printing and gluing in the printing and gluing equipment 60.
