[0018] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0019] See Figure 1-5This utility model provides a tin plating device for photovoltaic solder ribbon, including a tin bath 1 and an electric heater 5. The electric heater 5 is installed at the bottom of the tin bath 1. A connecting frame 4 is provided above the tin bath 1. A first steering wheel 8, a second steering wheel 9, and a third steering wheel 10 are respectively connected to the lower side of the connecting frame 4. The first steering wheel 8, the second steering wheel 9, and the third steering wheel 10 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. A scraper plate 2 is provided between the first steering wheel 8 and the second steering wheel 9. A tin spray head 3 is provided between the second steering wheel 9 and the third steering wheel 10. The liquid nozzle 3 is connected to the delivery pump 11 through the delivery pipe 31. The delivery pump 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 12, and the other end of the delivery pump 11 is connected to the tin bath 1 through the pipe. A support frame 6 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plate 12. A connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the support frame 6. Lifting cylinders 7 are installed on the front and rear sides of the tin bath 1. The top of the lifting cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the support frame 6. A lifting cylinder 13 is installed on the connecting plate 12. The telescopic rod on the lower side of the lifting cylinder 13 is connected to the scraper plate 2.
[0020] The molten tin tank 1 has a molten tin outlet 14 on its rear side, and one end of the pipe is connected to the molten tin outlet 14. The other end of the pipe is connected to the delivery pump 11, so that the molten tin in the hot melt state can be sent into the delivery pump 11 and then sent into the molten tin nozzle 3 by the delivery pump 11 and sprayed out.
[0021] The support frame 6 has a U-shaped structure, which makes it easy to place the support frame 6 above the molten solder tank 1.
[0022] A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the upper side of the molten tin nozzle 3. The connecting rod is fixedly installed on the lower side of the connecting plate 12, which achieves the purpose of providing stable support for the molten tin nozzle 3 and controlling the spraying direction of the molten tin nozzle 3.
[0023] In the process of using this utility model, the copper strip passes through the first steering wheel 8, the second steering wheel 9 and the third steering wheel 10 from right to left. Then the delivery pump 11 is run to draw out the molten tin in the tin bath 1 and spray it out from the tin nozzle 3 and coat it on the surface of the copper strip. Then, as the copper strip moves from right to left, it passes through the scraper plate 2. At this time, the scraper plate 2 scrapes off the excess tin plating on the surface of the copper strip.
[0024] Simultaneously, the operation of the lifting cylinder 7 can drive the support frame 6 to move downward, thereby synchronously driving the connecting frame 4, steering wheel 8, steering wheel 9, and steering wheel 10 to move downward, so that the bottom of the copper strip enters the tin bath 1 and the surface of the copper strip is tinned. At the same time, the steering wheel 8 and steering wheel 9 are located on the upper side of the tin bath 1 to avoid contact with the tin liquid, so that the excess tin plating on the copper strip can be scraped off by the scraper plate 2 when the copper strip is moving.
[0025] The operation of the lifting cylinder 13 can drive the scraper plate 2 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between the bottom end of the scraper plate 2 and the surface of the copper strip, and thus controlling the tin plating thickness of the copper strip surface.
[0026] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
