It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0034] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a sintering furnace for improving sintering yield, comprising: a furnace body 1, two furnace doors 2 installed on one side of the furnace body 1, an adjustment structure 3 provided inside the furnace body 1, and an auxiliary structure 4 provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace body 1.
[0036] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The adjusting structure 3 includes two lead screws 301, which are rotatably mounted on both sides of the furnace body 1. An adjusting ring 302 is threaded onto the arc surface of each lead screw 301. Several sliding plates 303 are fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting ring 302. The sliding plates 303 have a convex cross-section. A sliding ring 304 is slidably connected to the arc surface of the lead screw 301. An annular hole 305 is provided on one side of the sliding ring 304. The inner wall of the annular hole 305 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 303. Several connecting plates 306 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding ring 304. One side of each connecting plate 306 is fixedly connected to... A clamping plate 307 is provided, and driven wheels 308 are fixedly connected to the arc surfaces of two lead screws 301. A partition plate 309 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the furnace body 1. A connecting shaft 310 is rotatably inserted through the side of the partition plate 309. Two driving wheels 311 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the connecting shaft 310. A belt 312 drives the arc surfaces of the driving wheels 311 and the driven wheels 308. A welding plate 316 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the furnace body 1. A servo motor 317 is fixedly connected to one side of the welding plate 316. The output end of the servo motor 317 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 310. By setting the adjustment structure 3, two effects are achieved: first, it can fix sintered solar cells of different sizes firmly in the furnace body 1, improving the stability of the sintering process; second, it can automatically control the rotation of the solar cells during the sintering process, so that all parts of the cells are evenly exposed to the heat source, avoiding local internal temperature differences and improving sintering efficiency. The lead screw 301 has a positioning hole 314 on its arc surface. A positioning block 315 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 314, and the positioning block 315 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slip ring 304. When the slip ring 304 moves, the positioning block 315 fixed to the inner wall of the slip ring 304 will slide along the inner wall of the positioning hole 314, thereby preventing the slip ring 304 from rotating or shifting during its movement. Several anti-slip protrusions 313 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates 307 that are close to each other. The anti-slip protrusions 313 are evenly distributed on one side of the clamping plates 307. The anti-slip protrusions 313 make one side of the clamping plates 307 uneven, thereby improving the limiting effect of the clamping plates 307 on the solar cells to be sintered. Sealing rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the furnace body 1, and the inner wall of the sealing ring is in contact with the arc surface of the lead screw 301. The sealing ring can seal the tiny gap between the lead screw 301 and the furnace body 1, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the lead screw 301 and the furnace body 1.
[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The auxiliary structure 4 includes a storage box 41, which is placed at the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace body 1. Two fixed seats 43 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage box 41. A connecting plate 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed seats 43. An insertion hole 45 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 44. Arched plates 46 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the furnace body 1.

By setting up the auxiliary structure 4, the storage box 41 can collect the waste slag generated during the sintering process, and personnel can easily disassemble and assemble the storage box 41, thus facilitating the unified disposal of the waste slag. A spring 48 is fitted onto the arc surface of the insertion rod 47, and the two ends of the spring 48 are fixedly connected to the insertion rod 47 and the arched plate 46, respectively. Spring 48 can drive the insertion rod 47 to move automatically towards the insertion hole 45, thereby making the connection between the insertion rod 47 and the insertion hole 45 more secure. A handle 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 41. The handle 42 has a "U" shaped cross-section. Moving the handle 42 can drive the storage box 41, achieving the effect of convenient control of the storage box 41.
[0038] The working principle of the sintering furnace for improving sintering yield provided by this utility model is as follows: When the sintering furnace is needed to sinter solar cells, the solar cells to be sintered are first placed between two clamping plates 307 inside the furnace body 1. Then, the two adjusting rings 302 are rotated respectively, so that the adjusting rings 302 move along the arc surface of the lead screw 301 towards the solar cells. When the adjusting rings 302 move, they will drive the sliding plate 303, so that the sliding plate 303 slides along the inner wall of the annular track. At this time, the sliding plate 303 will push... The slip ring 304 moves along the arc of the lead screw 301 towards the solar cell. The slip ring 304 drives the connecting plate 306 and the clamping plate 307. Once the two clamping plates 307 securely hold the solar cell, the furnace door 2 can be closed for sintering. During sintering, the servo motor 317 drives the connecting shaft 310 to rotate. The connecting shaft 310 drives two drive wheels 311 to rotate. The drive wheels 311 drive the driven wheels 308 to rotate via belt 312. 8 drives the lead screw 301, which in turn rotates the solar cell. This allows the solar cell to rotate during sintering, ensuring that all parts of the solar cell are fully baked. After sintering, wait for the internal temperature of the furnace body 1 to cool down, then rotate the adjusting ring 302 to move in the opposite direction. The adjusting ring 302 drives the sliding plate 303, which in turn pulls the sliding ring 304 to move. The sliding ring 304 drives the clamping plate 307. Once the clamping plate 307 separates from the solar cell, the solar cell furnace can be closed. The anti-slip protrusion 313 makes one side of the clamping plate 307 uneven, thereby improving the limiting effect of the clamping plate 307 on the solar cell to be sintered. In addition, when the slip ring 304 moves, the positioning block 315 fixed on the inner wall of the slip ring 304 will slide along the inner wall of the positioning hole 314, thereby preventing the slip ring 304 from rotating and shifting during the movement. Finally, the sealing ring can block the tiny gap between the lead screw 301 and the furnace body 1, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the lead screw 301 and the furnace body 1.
[0039] Waste residue is generated during the sintering of the battery cells in the furnace body 1. The collection box 41 can collect the waste residue. When the waste residue inside the collection box 41 needs to be emptied after sintering, first pull the insertion rod 47 to separate it from the insertion hole 45, then rotate the connecting plate 44 so that the connecting plate 44 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed seat 43. After the connecting plate 44 separates from the inner wall of the arched plate 46, pull the handle 42 to remove the collection box 41 from the furnace body 1. Then the slag inside the collection box 41 can be emptied uniformly. When the collection box 41 needs to be installed back in its original position after emptying, first move the handle 42 to place the collection box 41 at the bottom of the inner wall of the furnace body 1, then rotate the connecting plate 44 to make it fit against the inner wall of the arched plate 46. When the insertion rod 47 is aligned with the insertion hole 45 on the connecting plate 44, release the insertion rod 47 so that it is inserted into the insertion hole 45 under the drive of the spring 48. At this time, the installation of the collection box 41 is completed.
