Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic production and processing technology, specifically a curing device for the production of photovoltaic modules. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules, as a key carrier of clean energy technology, can replace fossil fuel power generation, significantly reducing carbon emissions. They support both off-grid and grid-connected applications. Off-grid systems can power remote areas, communication base stations, and other grid-free scenarios, often with battery energy storage. Grid-connected systems can connect to the public grid, achieving "self-consumption and surplus power to the grid," reducing electricity costs. Their applications are widespread, covering residential rooftops, large-scale ground-mounted power plants, agricultural photovoltaic greenhouses, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and space equipment. Therefore, photovoltaics has become a core driving force for global energy transformation. Consequently, the market demands a large number of photovoltaic manufacturing equipment. However, in photovoltaic manufacturing experiments, the curing of photovoltaic modules is a crucial process. Curing experiments typically require extensive testing in a laboratory. However, the large internal space of the curing chamber makes it difficult to precisely maintain a constant temperature and humidity. Furthermore, the frequent insertion and removal of photovoltaic modules by staff results in inconsistent sealing, causing temperature fluctuations and affecting the curing quality of the modules, thus impacting experimental results. Therefore, a curing device for photovoltaic module production is urgently needed to meet current experimental requirements. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4According to one embodiment of this utility model, a curing device for photovoltaic module production includes a base 1 and a cooling and curing mechanism 3. A computer controller 2 is installed on one end face of the base 1, and the cooling and curing mechanism 3 is arranged above the base 1. An opening and closing cover 301 is installed on the top of the base 1. A handle protrusion 302 is provided on one end face of the opening and closing cover 301. A damping rotating shaft 303 is hinged to the other side of the opening and closing cover 301. The damping rotating shaft 303 is hinged to the base 1, and the damping rotating shaft 303 is electrically connected to the computer controller 2.

[0022] Specifically, a top infrared heating plate 304 is provided on the inner side of the opening and closing cover 301. A limiting frame 305 is provided below the top infrared heating plate 304. The limiting frame 305 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A bottom infrared heating plate 306 is provided inside the base 1. A connecting plate 307 is welded to the left side of the base 1. The top infrared heating plate 304 and the bottom infrared heating plate 306 are electrically connected to the computer controller 2. The computer controller 2 is responsible for managing and coordinating the various components of the device, enabling them to work together efficiently, improving the degree of automation and production efficiency. The top infrared heating plate 304 and the bottom infrared heating plate 306 provide heat energy, and bidirectional heating accelerates the curing process of the photovoltaic module, thereby improving the manufacturing speed and efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, the inner side of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 308 via the motor output shaft, and the outer side of the rotating disk (308) is meshed with the conveyor belt 309. Through the rotating disk 308 and the conveyor belt 309, the device can transport at a uniform speed, thereby enhancing production speed and consistency.

[0024] Specifically, a support rod groove 310 is provided on the lower inner side of the opening and closing cover 301. There are two sets of support rod grooves 310. A support rod 311 is hinged to the inner side of each support rod groove 310. Through the support rod groove 310 and the support rod 311, they ensure the stability of the opening and closing cover and make maintenance safer.

[0025] Specifically, an atomizing cooling nozzle 312 is installed on the inner right side of the opening and closing cover 301. A baffle plate 313 is fixedly connected to the right side of the base 1. A cooling water drain trough 314 is provided at the right end of the baffle plate 313. A cooling water pump 315 is connected to the rear of the cooling water drain trough 314. The cooling water pump 315 is electrically connected to the computer controller 2. The baffle plate 313 ensures that the water sprayed from the atomizing cooling nozzle 312 will not enter other parts of the machine, thus enhancing the safety of the device.

[0026] Specifically, a cooling water recovery pipe 316 is connected above the cooling water pump 315, and a high-pressure water tank 317 is connected to the other end of the cooling water recovery pipe 316. The high-pressure water tank 317 is connected to the atomizing cooling nozzle 312, which cools the heated photovoltaic module and enhances the working efficiency of the device.

[0027] Working Principle: First, the photovoltaic module is placed in the working area via the connecting plate 307. The top infrared heating plate 304 begins heating, while the bottom infrared heating plate 306 also heats inside the base 1. These two heating plates are electrically connected to the computer controller 2 to ensure temperature control and adjustment. The heating effect of these heating plates helps to cure the photovoltaic module and other materials. During the curing process, the photovoltaic module is placed on the conveyor belt 309 via the connecting plate 307, which is connected to the rotating disk 308. The photovoltaic module enters the heating area through the rotation of the rotating disk 308, thus gradually curing under the action of heating. After the curing heating is completed, in order to control the temperature and prevent overheating, the atomizing cooling nozzle 312 on the right side of the top infrared heating plate 304 sprays cooling water mist to cool the photovoltaic module. The water baffle 313 prevents the cooling water from entering other parts of the device. The cooling water drain trough 314 and the cooling water pump 315 work together to collect the used cooling water into the cooling water recovery pipe 316, and then send it to the high-pressure water tank 317 for storage and recycling. After cooling, the photovoltaic module is delivered out of the device via the connecting plate 307. When maintenance is required, the opening and closing cover is opened via the handle protrusion 302 on the opening and closing cover 301. Then, the opening and closing cover is supported by the support rod 311. After maintenance is completed, the support rod 311 is retracted into the support rod groove 310 and the opening and closing cover is closed, so that the opening and closing cover is aligned with the limiting frame 305.
