AI Technical Summary
Because the length of single-crystal silicon rods is relatively short, they do not meet the minimum processing rod length requirements for machining and grinding. It is necessary to splice, glue and align the crystal lines of multiple short rods. However, it is difficult to ensure concentricity by manual operation, which leads to abnormal processing losses.
A tooling for gluing and marking round bars was designed, including a rotary table, a round bar placement platform, a dial indicator universal bracket and locking components. The platform is rotated automatically or manually, and the dial indicator is used to detect the concentricity of the crystal bars and the alignment of the crystal lines, ensuring that the concentricity accuracy after gluing is ≤0.20mm.
This effectively avoids dimensional defects after the adhesive sticks are squared, reduces abnormal losses, and improves the reliability and efficiency of processing.

Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of round bar adhesive marking fixtures, specifically round bar adhesive marking fixtures. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, various crystalline silicon cell technologies are flourishing in the photovoltaic industry, each vying for dominance. For the upstream crystal pulling process at the cell end, besides differentiating between PN type and electrical properties (minority carrier lifetime, electrical resistance, oxygen content, and carbon content), for heterojunction cells (HJT), N-type monocrystalline silicon wafers require a minority carrier lifetime of no less than 500 μs and carbon and oxygen contents of less than 1 ppma and 14 ppma, respectively. Conventional N-type monocrystalline silicon wafers, on the other hand, require a minority carrier lifetime of no less than 800 μs and carbon and oxygen contents of less than 1 ppma and 14 ppma, respectively. 2ppma. Through comparison, it was found that heterojunctions have lower requirements for the electrical performance of monocrystalline silicon rods. Therefore, a small portion of the pulled monocrystalline long silicon rods that do not meet the requirements of conventional N-type silicon rods in terms of minority carrier lifetime and oxygen content are used to produce heterojunctions. These rods are usually short, ≤200mm in length, and are generally the heads of monocrystalline silicon rods. Due to their high oxygen content, they do not meet the conventional requirements and are used as remanufactured materials for cleaning, crushing, sorting, and re-drawing. However, due to the special requirements of heterojunctions, these "remanufactured materials" are not only not wasted, but can also be used as raw materials for producing heterojunction silicon wafers.
[0003] However, because these silicon rods are relatively short, they do not meet the minimum rod length requirements for machining, such as squaring and grinding. Therefore, multiple short rods need to be spliced and glued together to ensure concentricity and crystal wire alignment before machining. Usually, the crystal rods are stacked and glued manually based on experience, and the crystal wires are visually aligned to meet the requirements for machining. However, because the diameter of the crystal rods varies slightly and the crystal wires are bent, without relevant tools to assist in inspection, there may be issues such as miscut crystal wires and excessively large or small edge distances of the square rods after machining, resulting in defective products. Therefore, a round rod gluing and marking fixture is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0005] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: Because these silicon rods are relatively short, they do not meet the minimum processing rod length requirements for machining (square cutting and grinding). Therefore, multiple short rods need to be spliced and glued together to ensure concentricity and crystal wire alignment before machining. Typically, this is done manually based on experience, stacking and gluing the rods, and visually aligning the crystal wires to meet machining requirements. However, due to slight differences in rod diameter and the presence of curved crystal wires, without the aid of relevant tools for inspection, machining may result in misaligned crystal wires, excessively large or small edge distances of the square rods, leading to defective (NG) defects.
