Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar cell technology, and specifically to a solar cell positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Solar cells are electronic products, mainly divided into crystalline silicon types, including monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells and amorphous silicon types. Among crystalline silicon cells, monocrystalline silicon has higher efficiency but also higher manufacturing cost than polycrystalline silicon. Polycrystalline silicon panels are mottled blue, while monocrystalline silicon panels are black. The choice of which type to use depends on the regional climate conditions. For example, monocrystalline silicon has higher power generation efficiency in rainy areas, while in sparsely rainy areas, polycrystalline silicon may be chosen based on cost and the area of investment may be increased. When producing solar cells, they need to be stacked, and the solar cells need to be positioned during the stacking process.
[0003] Currently available solar cell positioning devices are mostly designed for cells of specific sizes. When it is necessary to produce cells of different sizes, it is often necessary to replace the entire positioning device or carry out large-scale modifications. This not only increases production costs but also reduces production flexibility and cannot meet the diversified needs of solar cell production. In addition, when picking up solar cells, rigid grippers are often used. This method of picking up solar cells is prone to damage due to excessive clamping force, which is inconvenient to use.

The support mechanism also includes a solar cell 13. The bottom of 13 overlaps with the surface of the conveyor belt 12. The top of the support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 14. The positioning mechanism also includes a mounting plate 23. The top of the mounting plate 23 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first threaded rod 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, by activating the cylinder 31, the suction cup 33 is moved down to contact the top of the solar cell 13. The solar cell 13 is picked up by the suction cup 33. Then, the first motor 21 and the second motor 25 are activated again to move the solar cell 13 above the placement base. The cylinder 31 then moves the solar cell 13 down and places it on the surface of the placement plate 44 for positioning. At the same time, the second spring 48 pushes the clamping plate 47 to clamp the solar cell 13. The silicone layer prevents the clamping plate 47 from damaging the solar cell 13 and prevents it from shifting during stacking.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figure 1-6As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the support mechanism includes a support frame 11, with a conveyor belt 12 at one end of the support frame 11; a positioning mechanism, including a first motor 21, with a first threaded rod 22 fixedly connected to one end of the shaft of the first motor 21; a picking mechanism, including a cylinder 31, with a mounting plate 32 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 31; and a placement base, including a mounting seat 41, with the bottom of the mounting seat 41 fixedly connected to the surface of the support frame 11. The picking mechanism also includes a suction cup 33, with the top of the suction cup 33 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 32, and the top of the inner cavity of the suction cup 33 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mounting plate 32.

[0032] In this embodiment, during the lowering process, the first spring 42 absorbs the kinetic energy generated by the vibration when the solar cell 13 is lowered, and then the damper 43 dissipates it, making the solar cell more stable when stacked and less prone to tilting. When it is necessary to position solar cells 13 of different specifications, the connectors 45 are inserted into different holes on the surface of the placement plate 44, so that the spacing between multiple connectors 45 can be adapted to the solar cell 13, making it more adaptable.
[0033] The working principle of this solar cell positioning device will be explained in detail below.
[0034] like Figure 1-6As shown, during use, the solar cell 13 is conveyed forward by the conveyor belt 12. Simultaneously, the first motor 21 is started, causing the first threaded rod 22 to rotate and slide the mounting plate 23 along the guide rod 24. The left and right positions of the picking mechanism are adjusted. Then, the second motor 25 is started, causing the second threaded rod 26 to rotate and slide the drive block 27 along the guide rail 28. The front and rear positions of the picking mechanism are adjusted. After the picking mechanism is positioned directly above the solar cell 13, the cylinder 31 is started, causing the suction cup 33 to move down and contact the top of the solar cell 13. The solar cell 13 is picked up by the suction cup 33. Then, the first motor 21 and the second motor 25 are started again, moving the solar cell 13 above the placement base. The cylinder 31 then drives the solar cell 13... 3. Move it down and place it on the surface of the placement plate 44 for positioning. At the same time, the second spring 48 pushes the clamping plate 47 to clamp the solar cell 13. The silicone layer can prevent the clamping plate 47 from damaging the solar cell 13 and prevent it from shifting during stacking. During the lowering process, the first spring 42 absorbs the kinetic energy generated by the vibration when the solar cell 13 is lowered, and then the damper 43 dissipates it, making the solar cell more stable and less prone to tilting when stacking. When it is necessary to position solar cells 13 of different specifications, the plug 45 is inserted into different holes on the surface of the placement plate 44, so that the spacing between multiple plugs 45 can be adapted to the solar cell 13, making it more adaptable.
[0035] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
