Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic equipment technology, and in particular to a string welding machine for preventing solder ribbon misalignment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mass-produced string welding machine fixtures first place the welding ribbon on the solar cell, and then use the fixture to press the welding ribbon and the solar cell together. During the placement of the welding ribbon, due to the presence of sticky residue from volatile flux on the micro-clamps of the string welding machine, the welding ribbon may stick when the micro-clamps open, causing the welding ribbon to shift to one side. As a result, when the welding ribbon lands on the surface of the solar cell, it will be somewhat offset from the main grid lines of the cell, leading to poor welding and welding ribbon misalignment.

[0003] It should be noted that the above content is not necessarily prior art, nor is it intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Utility Model Content

[0006] A pressure needle plate, wherein a plurality of pressure needle groups are arranged in a parallel array along a first direction;

[0007] A crossbeam, wherein the crossbeam is arranged along a first direction;

[0008] Each of the pressure needle groups includes a plurality of pressure needles arrayed along the second direction;

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other. The application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0030] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a serial welding machine for preventing solder strip misalignment, including a pressure pin plate 2 and a crossbeam 4, wherein, defined Figure 1The vertical direction is the first direction, and the horizontal direction is the second direction. The pressure needle plate 2 is provided with multiple pressure needle groups arranged in parallel along the first direction. The crossbeam 4 is arranged along the first direction. Any pressure needle group includes multiple pressure needles 1 arranged in parallel along the second direction. The crossbeam 4 spans any two adjacent pressure needle groups and is connected to two pressure needles 1 of the two adjacent pressure needle groups respectively. Any two crossbeams 4 are not adjacent in the first direction and the second direction. With this arrangement, the crossbeam 4 and the pressure needles 1 on it can limit the welding strip. The welding strip can be fixed in an accurate position before the micro clamp opens. This can effectively avoid the welding strip deviation caused by the residue of flux volatilization on the micro clamp sticking to the welding strip. It increases the accuracy of welding strip alignment and reduces problems such as poor intermediate welding and power attenuation caused by welding strip deviation.

[0032] Specifically, with Figure 1 For example, any two beams 4 are not adjacent in the first and second directions. Figure 1 The representation is as follows: the first group of pressure needles from top to bottom is defined as the first pressure needle group, the second group of pressure needles is defined as the second pressure needle group, and so on, with a third pressure needle group, a fourth pressure needle group, and so on. In this embodiment, the first pressure needle 1 on the left side of the first pressure needle group and the first pressure needle 1 on the left side of the second pressure needle group are positioned by the same crossbeam 4. The adjacent positions of the crossbeam 4 in the first and second directions are empty, and no adjacent crossbeam 4 is set. If the adjacent positions are also provided with crossbeam 4, the battery may be poorly soldered during the soldering process due to the excessive light-blocking area.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two different styles of pressure needles 1 provided in this application embodiment share a common feature: the pressure needle 1 includes a pressure rod 11 and two pressure heads 12. The two pressure heads 12 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the pressure rod 11 and are fixedly connected to the pressure rod 11. A pressure groove 13 is formed between the two pressure heads 12. When the pressure needle 1 is fixed to the crossbeam 4, that is... Figure 2 As shown, the crossbeam 4 and the pressure needle 1 are then fixed together to the pressure needle plate 2. At this time, the projection of the pressure groove 13 along the second direction is rectangular or trapezoidal. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two types of pressure pins 1 are used to fix rectangular welding strips and round wire welding strips, respectively.

[0034] As an alternative implementation, the projection of the pressure head 12 along the second direction is rectangular or trapezoidal, while the pressure rod 11 is configured as cylindrical or prismatic.

[0035] Furthermore, the string welding machine in this embodiment of the application also includes a pressure block 3, the sliding of which is controlled by the crossbeam 4, that is, the pressure block 3 can slide relative to the crossbeam 4 and can be positioned at a designated position; the pressure pin 1 is detachably connected to the crossbeam 4 for easy replacement and maintenance.

[0036] The string welding machine in this embodiment of the application also includes a micro clamp, which is movable relative to the pressure needle plate 2 and is used to hold and move the welding strip.

[0037] When using Figure 3 When the pressure needle 1 is used, the pressure head 12 of the pressure needle 1 fixes the solder ribbon before it is placed onto the battery cell. During this process, the pressure head 12 remains in a non-contact state with the battery cell. When the solder ribbon is removed, after the hand releases the solder ribbon, the originally fixed pressure block 3 descends along with the solder ribbon due to its own weight and comes into contact with the battery cell, thereby effectively preventing the solder ribbon from shifting. And using... Figure 4 When the pressure pin 1 is shown, the pressure pin 1 on the pressure block 3 is also placed in front of the battery cell before the solder ribbon is placed and fixed there. However, at this time, the pressure head 12 is directly fixed to the surface of the battery cell. When the solder ribbon is picked up, after the solder ribbon is released by hand, the solder ribbon can only fall along the fixed position of the pressure pin 1, thus avoiding the solder ribbon from shifting.

[0038] In summary, the present invention provides a serial welding machine for preventing solder strip misalignment, comprising a pressure pin plate 2 and a crossbeam 4. The pressure pin plate 2 is provided with multiple pressure pin groups arranged in parallel along a first direction. The crossbeam 4 is arranged along the first direction, and any pressure pin group includes multiple pressure pins 1 arranged in a second direction. The crossbeam 4 spans any two adjacent pressure pin groups and is connected to two pressure pins 1 of the two adjacent pressure pin groups respectively. Any two crossbeams 4 are not adjacent in the first and second directions. With this arrangement, the crossbeam 4 and the pressure pins 1 on it can limit the solder strip, and can fix the solder strip in an accurate position before the micro clamp opens. This can effectively avoid solder strip misalignment caused by residual flux on the micro clamp sticking to the solder strip, increase the accuracy of solder strip alignment, and reduce problems such as poor intermediate welding and power attenuation caused by solder strip misalignment.
