[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the annealing device for a photovoltaic busbar of this utility model includes a body 1, on which a humidification mechanism, a heating mechanism, a cooling water tank 2, and a driving mechanism are provided. The humidification mechanism includes a humidification box 14 and a humidifier 3 disposed inside the box. The humidifier 3 has a longitudinally penetrating humidification channel 4 for guiding the busbar through. An annular air jet 5 is provided on the inner wall of the humidification channel 4. A humidification annular groove 6 is provided inside the humidifier 3. The air jet 5 is connected to the humidification annular groove 6. The humidification annular groove 6 is designed with a tapered gradually changing structure, with the diameter of the end near the air jet 5 being larger than the diameter of the end away from the air jet 5, so that the gas is pressurized and sprayed out evenly. The side wall of the blower 3 is provided with an air inlet 7, which is connected to an external air supply source. An air inlet channel (8) is connected to the air inlet (7), which is connected to the blower ring groove (6). The air inlet channel (8) is perpendicular to the air inlet (7), and the diameter of the air inlet (7) is larger than the diameter of the air inlet channel (8) to increase the air flow rate. This structure can effectively remove the coolant from the surface of the confluence belt.
[0029] according to Figure 4As shown, the heating mechanism includes a back plate 9 mounted on the body 1. The back plate 9 has a ring-shaped heating tube 13 and an induction heating coil 12 sleeved around the heating tube 13. High-frequency alternating current is applied to the induction heating coil 12, generating an alternating electromagnetic field and producing an induced current. When this induced current flows within the metal, it generates heat due to the metal's resistance, rapidly heating the heating tube 13 and creating a heating zone within it. Induction heating is a non-contact heating method; the heating process does not require direct flame or resistance contact, resulting in fast heating and high efficiency. A mounting bracket 10 is provided on the back plate 9, and a longitudinally penetrating glass protective tube 11 runs through the entire heating zone. The glass protective tube 11 has a hollow interior for the busbar to pass through. Heat is transferred from the heating tube 13 to the glass protective tube 11, achieving uniform heating and annealing of the busbar. An air inlet pipe 15 is also provided on the outer wall of the glass protective tube 11. The air inlet pipe 15 can continuously fill the glass protective tube 11 with nitrogen to prevent the manifold from being oxidized during the heating process.
[0030] according to Figure 5 As shown, the back plate 9 has several heat dissipation holes 16 to prevent the structure from being damaged due to excessive temperature.
[0031] according to Figure 6 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor 17 located inside the machine body 1 and an active wire guide wheel 18 installed inside the cooling water tank 2. The drive motor 17 is connected to the active wire guide wheel 18 through a transmission shaft, driving it to rotate, thereby driving the entire busbar to move continuously along the process path.
[0032] The cooling water tank 2 is a sealed box structure located below the heating mechanism. It is filled with coolant and has a manifold inside. The manifold enters the cooling water tank 2 from the heating mechanism and is wound around the active cable guide 18 inside the tank. It achieves rapid cooling through the coolant and eliminates thermal stress.
[0033] In addition, a water filtration mechanism is installed inside the body 1. The water filtration mechanism includes an inlet pipe 28 connected to the cooling water tank 2 and a cotton core water purifier 29 installed on the inlet pipe 28, which has the function of efficiently filtering impurities, scale and particles.
[0034] The body 1 is equipped with a tensioning mechanism, which includes a tension swing rod 25 with one end rotatable. The free end of the tension swing rod 25 is equipped with a rotatable tension wheel 26. The tension swing rod 25 is connected to a drive cylinder 27. The drive cylinder 27 provides downward tension by adjusting the rotation of the swing rod to prevent the bus belt from loosening, knotting, or slipping.
[0035] The wet-blowing mechanism has an inlet wheel 20 on one side and a first guide wheel 21 on one side of the driven wire guide wheel 19. A second guide wheel 22 is provided above the wet-blowing mechanism, and an outlet wheel 23 is provided above the tensioning mechanism. A third guide wheel 24 is provided between the driven wire guide wheel 19 and the outlet wheel 23. All the guide wheels are grooved guide wheels to ensure stable wire routing.
[0036] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: The photovoltaic busbar first passes through the inlet pulley 20 and the first guide pulley 21 and is wound around the driven guide pulley 19. Then the busbar passes downward through the glass protection tube 11 and enters the cooling water tank 2, and is wound around the active guide pulley 18. Then the busbar passes upward through the blowing channel 4, passes through the second guide pulley 22 and is wound around the driven guide pulley 19 again. Then it passes through the third guide pulley 24 and is wound around the outlet pulley 23. It continues downward to the tension pulley 26, and then passes through the tension pulley 26 back to the outlet pulley 23 and exits. During this process, the induction heating coil 12 heats the heating tube 13, maintaining a high temperature inside the heating tube 13. The busbar undergoes annealing due to the heat, and nitrogen gas is injected through the air inlet pipe 15 to prevent oxidation of the busbar. The cooling water tank 2 is filled with coolant to cool the busbar. Gas is injected into the humidification ring groove 6 through the air inlet channel 8 on the humidifier 3, and the gas is sprayed onto the busbar through the jet nozzle 5, thus completing the humidification process. Throughout the process, the tensioning mechanism keeps the busbar taut to prevent it from becoming loose, tangled, or slipping.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
