AI Technical Summary
The opening of a large drying tank is difficult to completely cover, causing liquid to enter the drying tank through the gaps in the cover plate, contaminating the battery cells and affecting the product yield.
Design a drying device that uses multiple covers and baffles connected by hinges to achieve synchronous opening and closing of the covers and baffles, ensuring that the trough opening is completely covered and preventing liquid from entering.
This effectively reduces the risk of liquid contaminating the battery cells by entering the drying tank through the gaps in the cover plate, thus improving product yield.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of solar cells, the solar cells, after being texturized by the texturing equipment, are typically dried in a drying tank. With increasing production capacity, the design size of the drying tanks has gradually increased to allow for the simultaneous drying of multiple photovoltaic baskets carrying solar cells. Larger drying tanks have openings that are difficult to cover with a single, solid cover plate; therefore, multiple folding covers are typically used to shield the openings. However, gaps usually exist between these multiple folding covers. When the texturized photovoltaic baskets pass over the top of the drying tank, there is a risk that liquid may drip and enter the drying tank through these gaps, contaminating the solar cells and affecting product yield. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a drying apparatus, including a tank 10, a first cover plate 20, at least one second cover plate 40, and at least one first baffle 60. The tank 10 is used to store materials to be dried, and one side of the tank 10 has an opening for materials to enter and exit the tank 10. The first cover plate 20 is connected to the side wall of the tank 10 by a first hinge 30, and the first cover plate 20 can partially cover the opening. The second cover plate 40 can partially cover the opening, and the second cover plate 40 adjacent to the first cover plate 20 is connected to the first cover plate 20 by a second hinge 50. The first baffle 60 is connected to the first cover plate 20 or the second cover plate 40 by a third hinge 70. At least one first baffle 60 can be used to cover the opening between adjacent first cover plates 20 and second cover plates 40.
[0030] In the aforementioned drying apparatus, the first cover plate 20 is connected to the side wall of the tank 10 via a first hinge 30, and the second cover plate 40 adjacent to the first cover plate 20 is connected to the first cover plate 20 via a second hinge 50. This facilitates the opening and closing of the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 40 through the first hinge 30 and the second hinge 50 to open or cover the opening of the tank 10. The tank 10 is used to store materials to be dried. When the opening is covered by the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 40, the first baffle 60 can be used to cover the opening between adjacent first cover plates 20 and second cover plates 40, reducing the risk of liquid falling into the drying tank and contaminating the battery cells inside through the gap between the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 40. Simultaneously, the first baffle 60 is connected to the first cover plate 20 or the second cover plate 40 via a third hinge 70, facilitating the simultaneous opening and closing of the first baffle 60 during the opening and closing of the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 40. The drying device of this application can reduce the risk of liquid spilling and entering the drying tank through the gaps between the cover plates, causing contamination to the battery cells inside the drying tank.
[0031] In some embodiments, there are multiple second cover plates 40. Adjacent second cover plates 40 are connected by second hinges 50. There are multiple first baffles 60. Each first baffle 60 is capable of blocking the slot between two adjacent second cover plates 40. The first baffle 60 used to block the slot between two adjacent second cover plates 40 is connected to the second cover plates 40 by a third hinge 70.
[0032] Multiple second cover plates 40 and multiple first baffles 60 facilitate the shielding of the opening of the larger groove 10.
[0033] In some embodiments, the drying apparatus further includes a third cover plate 80, at least one fourth cover plate 100, and at least one second baffle 120. The third cover plate 80 is connected to the opposite sidewall of the tank 10, which is connected to the sidewall of the first cover plate 20, via a fourth hinge 90, and the third cover plate 80 is capable of partially obscuring the tank opening. The fourth cover plate 100 is capable of partially obscuring the tank opening, and the fourth cover plate 100 adjacent to the third cover plate 80 is connected to the third cover plate 80 via a fifth hinge 110. The second baffle 120 is connected to either the third cover plate 80 or the fourth cover plate 100 via a sixth hinge 130. At least one second baffle 120 is capable of obscuring the tank opening between adjacent third cover plates 80 and fourth cover plates 100.
[0034] The first cover plate 20 and the third cover plate 80, which are respectively connected to the two opposite side walls of the tank 10, allow the tank opening to be opened or covered from the two opposite sides.
[0035] In some embodiments, there are multiple fourth cover plates 100. Adjacent fourth cover plates 100 are connected by a fifth hinge 110. There are multiple second baffles 120. Each second baffle 120 is capable of blocking the slot between two adjacent fourth cover plates 100. The second baffle 120 used to block the slot between two adjacent fourth cover plates 100 is connected to the fourth cover plate 100 by a sixth hinge 130.
[0036] Multiple fourth cover plates 100 and multiple second baffles 120 facilitate the shielding of the opening of the larger groove 10.
[0037] In some embodiments, the drying apparatus further includes a third baffle 140. The third baffle 140 is capable of shielding the slot between two adjacent second cover plates 40 and fourth cover plates 100. The third baffle 140 is connected to the second cover plate 40 or the fourth cover plate 100 via a seventh hinge 150.
[0038] By shielding the slot between two adjacent second cover plates 40 and fourth cover plates 100 with the third baffle 140, the risk of liquid falling into the drying tank and contaminating the battery cells inside the drying tank through the gaps between the cover plates can be further reduced.
[0039] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 40 are arranged sequentially along a first direction. The third cover plate 80 and the fourth cover plate 100 are arranged sequentially along the first direction.
