Abstract

Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the first step in solar panel manufacturing is drawing round silicon ingots, followed by squaring them into square bars according to size requirements. These square bars are then sliced, packaged, and transported to a factory with silicon wafer texturing and cleaning equipment. The wafers are then manually unpacked and placed into the wafer forming machine fixture. This process is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and costly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for automated equipment to replace manual labor. During automated equipment operation, the silicon wafers are still wrapped in a plastic bag and lint-free paper, preventing direct placement into the wafer forming machine fixture. A dedicated bag-removing device is required to remove these materials. Only after removing the plastic bag can the wafers be placed into the wafer forming machine for the texturing process.
[0003] Currently, production involves manual unpacking of boxes and removal of plastic bags and dust-free paper packaging. In the future, this process will definitely be automated to replace manual labor. Within the automated unpacking equipment, there must be a dedicated device to remove the packaging of silicon wafers.
