Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery cell coating equipment, and more specifically, to a coating wheel. Background Technology

[0002] After fabricating a conductive film, an additional copper film of a certain thickness (around 100 nm) is prepared on amorphous silicon solar cells, which can then be used to fabricate heterojunction solar cells with copper grid lines. A copper seed layer is prepared on the copper film. After exposure and development of the designated electrode pattern areas, copper grid lines can be grown by electroplating where needed. To prevent the grid lines from detaching due to the electroplating solution penetrating the copper seed layer at the cell edges, or from short-circuiting the front and back of the cell due to side copper plating, the edges of the solar cell need to be coated with adhesive before preparing the copper seed layer. Therefore, an adhesive coating roller is an important piece of equipment for facilitating the adhesive coating process on the solar cells.

[0003] The inventors discovered that some existing rubber-coating wheels only have one glue outlet, which means they can only apply glue to one edge at a time, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0029] Please refer to the accompanying drawings for a detailed description of the specific structure of a rubber-coated wheel provided in this utility model embodiment and the corresponding technical effects it brings.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a rubber-coated wheel 1 including a body 100, a plurality of glue dispensing grooves arranged sequentially along its own axis, and a receiving space 170 for accommodating adhesive inside the body 100, and each glue dispensing groove is connected to the receiving space 170.

[0031] Understandably, since each dispensing groove is connected to the accommodating space 170, during the rotation of the coating wheel 1 around its own axis, the adhesive in the accommodating space 170 can enter the dispensing groove due to centrifugal force. Since this embodiment has multiple dispensing grooves, when applying adhesive to the battery cell, adhesive can be applied to multiple edges, thus improving the efficiency of applying adhesive to the battery cell.

[0032] It should be noted that "multiple" in this embodiment can be understood as two or more quantities.

[0033] In detail, this embodiment has two glue dispensing grooves, namely a first glue dispensing groove 150 and a second glue dispensing groove 160. It can be understood that by setting the first glue dispensing groove 150 and the second glue dispensing groove 160, glue can be applied to both sides simultaneously. For example, during glue application, two battery cells can be spaced apart along the axis of the coating wheel 1, with each battery cell corresponding to the first glue dispensing groove 150 and the second glue dispensing groove 160 respectively. Therefore, by using the first glue dispensing groove 150 and the second glue dispensing groove 160, glue can be applied to one side of both battery cells simultaneously, improving the efficiency of glue application to the battery cells.

[0034] Specifically, the body 100 includes a first shaft segment 110 and a second shaft segment 120 arranged sequentially along the axial direction. The radial dimension of the first shaft segment 110 is larger than that of the second shaft segment 120. The outer peripheral wall of the second shaft segment 120 is provided with a first annular boss 130 and a second annular boss 140 spaced apart along the axial direction. The first annular boss 130 is closer to the first shaft segment 110 than the second annular boss 140. The outer peripheral walls of the first annular boss 130, the first shaft segment 110 and the second shaft segment 120 together define a first glue outlet groove 150. The outer peripheral walls of the first annular boss 130, the second annular boss 140 and the second shaft segment 120 together define a second glue outlet groove 160.

[0035] The first shaft segment 110 includes a first end plate 111 and a second end plate 112 arranged axially at intervals and disposed opposite to each other. The second end plate 112 is close to the first annular boss 130 relative to the first end plate 111. The second end plate 112 has a first glue outlet hole 1120. The first glue outlet groove 150 is connected to the accommodating space 170 through the first glue outlet hole 1120. The axis of the first glue outlet hole 1120 is parallel to the axis of the rubber-coated wheel 1. That is to say, in this embodiment, the adhesive in the accommodating space 170 will overflow into the first glue outlet groove 150 through the first glue outlet hole 1120, rather than overflowing into the first glue outlet groove 150 from the side of the first glue outlet groove 150 that is close to the axis of the rubber-coated wheel 1.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are multiple first glue outlet holes 1120, and the multiple first glue outlet holes 1120 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the first end plate 111.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a first cavity is provided in the first shaft segment 110, and a second cavity is provided in the second shaft segment 120. The first cavity and the second cavity are interconnected. The radial dimension of the first cavity is greater than the radial dimension of the second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity together define the accommodating space 170.

[0038] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the first glue dispensing groove 150 and the second glue dispensing groove 160 dispense glue relatively evenly, in this embodiment, the first cavity and the second cavity are coaxially arranged.

[0039] It should be noted that a protrusion 180 protrudes from the end wall of the first cavity of the second shaft segment 120. The outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 180 has a preset gap with the inner wall of the first cavity. The outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 180 is coaxially arranged with the first cavity. It can be understood that by setting the protrusion 180, the volume of adhesive contained in the accommodating space 170 can be reduced. Figure 1 For reference, the axis of the rubber-coated wheel 1 is parallel to the height direction, and the height dimension of the first shaft section 110 is higher than the height dimension of the second shaft section 120. Therefore, when adhesive is added to the accommodating space 170, the liquid level of the adhesive is easier to rise and it is also easier to overflow from the first adhesive outlet hole 1120 into the first adhesive outlet groove 150.

[0040] Optionally, the protrusion 180 extends axially into the first cavity of the first shaft segment 110.

[0041] It should be noted that the first end plate 111 of the rubber-coated wheel 1 is also provided with a liquid inlet 1110. The liquid inlet 1110 is used to connect with a pipe. An external adhesive source is used to connect with the liquid inlet 1110 through a pipe so as to deliver the adhesive into the accommodating space 170.

[0042] The first annular boss has a glue leakage hole 131, and the first glue outlet groove 150 and the second glue outlet groove 160 are connected through the glue leakage hole 131. It can be understood that when the coating wheel 1 is upright, [the glue can be dispensed]. Figure 1 For reference, the first glue dispensing groove 150 is located above the second glue dispensing groove 160. Through the setting of the glue leakage hole 131, the adhesive in the first glue dispensing groove 150 will flow downward from the glue leakage hole 131 to the second glue dispensing groove 160, reducing the amount of adhesive in the first glue dispensing groove 150 overflowing radially, avoiding glue waste, and improving the utilization rate of adhesive.

[0043] It should be noted that, in order to further facilitate the flow of adhesive in the first glue outlet 150 through the glue leakage hole 131 to the second glue outlet 160, a plurality of glue leakage holes 131 are provided on the first annular boss, and the plurality of glue leakage holes 131 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the first annular boss.

[0044] Optionally, in order to facilitate the flow of adhesive in the first glue outlet 150 through the glue leakage hole 131 into the second glue outlet 160, the glue leakage hole 131 is inclined in the direction away from the axis of the body 100 in the direction close to the second annular boss.

[0045] Of course, in some embodiments, the axis of the glue leakage hole 131 may also be parallel to the axis of the body 100.

[0046] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, near the second annular boss, the glue leakage hole 131 is inclined toward the axis direction close to the body 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the second shaft segment 120 has a plurality of second glue dispensing holes 121 for the portion of the second glue dispensing groove 160. The second glue dispensing groove 160 communicates with the accommodating space 170 through the second glue dispensing holes 121. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the second glue dispensing groove 160 dispenses glue through the side wall of the second shaft segment 120, while the first glue dispensing groove 150 dispenses glue through the top second end plate 112, thereby ensuring the glue dispensing pressure of the lower second glue dispensing groove 160.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are multiple second glue outlet holes 121, and the multiple second glue outlet holes 121 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the second shaft segment 120.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the diameter of the second shaft segment 120 is 50mm, the diameter of the second adhesive outlet hole 121 can be 0.3-1mm, and the number of second adhesive outlet holes 121 can be 90-120. Of course, in some other embodiments, the diameter of the second shaft segment 120 can also be other sizes, and the diameter of the second adhesive outlet hole 121 is not limited to 0.3-1mm, but can be greater than 1mm or less than 0.3mm. The number of second adhesive outlet holes 121 is also not limited to 90-120.

[0050] It should be noted that the rubber-coated wheel 1 in this embodiment is an integral structure. That is, the first shaft segment 110, the second shaft segment 120, the protrusion 180, the first annular boss 130 and the second annular boss 140 on the second shaft segment 120 are all parts of the integral rubber-coated wheel 1.

[0051] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a coating wheel 1, which includes a body 100. The body 100 has multiple adhesive dispensing grooves arranged sequentially along its own axis. The body 100 also has a receiving space 170 for accommodating adhesive, and each adhesive dispensing groove communicates with the receiving space 170. By using multiple adhesive dispensing grooves, adhesive can be applied to multiple edges of the battery cell during coating, improving the efficiency of coating the battery cell.

[0052] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
