[0001] This utility model relates to a photovoltaic cell adjustment mechanism, belonging to the field of photovoltaic cell manufacturing technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of photovoltaic cell modules, series connection of photovoltaic cell modules is an important step, which requires high alignment accuracy of the cell cells and is one of the core factors affecting the series connection of modules.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are still some shortcomings in the adjustment and positioning of solar cells during the module series connection process. For example, it is impossible to adjust the position of multiple solar cells at the same time, and the adjustment speed of solar cells is slow, resulting in less than ideal production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a photovoltaic cell adjustment mechanism, which aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, realize the simultaneous adjustment and calibration of multiple cells, and improve production efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is a photovoltaic cell adjustment mechanism, which includes an X-axis adjustment mechanism, a Y-axis adjustment mechanism, a rotation axis adjustment mechanism, a cell vacuum adsorption system, and a camera mechanism. Several Y-axis adjustment mechanisms are mounted on the camera mechanism. Each Y-axis adjustment mechanism is equipped with an X-axis adjustment mechanism, each X-axis adjustment mechanism is equipped with a rotation axis adjustment mechanism, and each rotation axis adjustment mechanism is equipped with a cell vacuum adsorption system. Each cell vacuum adsorption system adsorbs one cell. During operation, the camera mechanism photographs the cells, and the X-axis, Y-axis, and rotation axis adjustment mechanisms adjust their respective positions to achieve simultaneous adjustment of multiple cells into position.

[0006] Preferably, the camera mechanism includes a camera and a light source. The camera is mounted on a camera bracket, which is adjustablely mounted on a vertically arranged profile frame. The bottom end of the profile frame is fixed to the frame via a base plate. A mounting plate is mounted on the frame on one side of the base plate. Locking sleeves connect the bottom ends of support columns to the four corners of the top surface of the mounting plate. The top ends of the four support columns are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom surface of the platform. U-shaped light source support plates are provided on both sides of the top surface of the platform. A pair of light sources are installed between the light source support plates. A Y-axis guide rail is provided on the top surface of the platform outside the two light sources. During operation, the locking sleeves are used to lock the support columns, and the light source provides exposure for the camera.

[0007] Preferably, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism includes a Y-axis motor, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the platform via a motor mount. The output end of the Y-axis motor is connected to a lead screw via a Y-axis coupling. The lead screw is fixed to the bottom surface of the platform via a lead screw bracket. The lead screw is connected to a nut-connected plate, which passes through a notch on the platform and connects to the bottom surface of the X-axis base plate. The X-axis adjustment mechanism is mounted on the X-axis base plate, which is slidably connected to the corresponding sliders on the two Y-axis guide rails. During operation, the Y-axis motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw, through the connecting plate and the X-axis base plate, drives the entire X-axis adjustment mechanism to slide along the Y-axis guide rail, causing displacement in the Y-axis direction and thus adjusting the offset of the battery cells in the Y-axis direction.

[0008] Preferably, the X-axis direction adjustment mechanism includes an X-axis motor fixed to one edge of the top surface of the X-axis base plate via a mounting plate. The output end of the X-axis motor is connected to a lead screw and nut pair via an X-axis coupling. The lead screw and nut pair is connected to a connecting plate, which is slidably connected to an X-axis guide rail. The X-axis guide rail is set on the top surface of the X-axis base plate. A rotary shaft mounting plate is installed on the top of the connecting plate, and the rotary shaft direction adjustment mechanism is installed on the rotary shaft mounting plate. During operation, the X-axis motor drives the connecting plate to slide along the X-axis guide rail via the lead screw and nut pair. The rotary shaft mounting plate drives the rotary shaft direction adjustment mechanism to generate displacement in the X-axis direction, thereby adjusting the offset of the battery cell in the X-axis direction.

[0009] Preferably, the rotation axis direction adjustment mechanism includes a rotary motor mounted on one edge of the bottom surface of the rotary shaft mounting plate. The output end of the rotary motor passes through the rotary shaft mounting plate and connects to the guide slot plate. A rotating shaft is located at the center of the rotary shaft mounting plate. The top end of the rotating shaft is connected to the vacuum adsorption plate of the battery cell vacuum adsorption system via a bearing. A connector is located on one edge of the bottom surface of the vacuum adsorption plate, and a follower wheel is mounted on the connector. The follower wheel rolls within the groove of the guide slot plate. The battery cell vacuum adsorption system includes a vacuum generator and a vacuum adsorption plate. The vacuum generator is mounted on the mounting plate, and the top of the vacuum adsorption plate adsorbs battery cells. A connector is located on the side of the vacuum adsorption plate, and the connector is connected to the vacuum generator via a connecting pipe. During operation, the rotary motor rotates, driving the battery cell vacuum adsorption system to rotate via the rotating shaft. During rotation, the follower wheel and guide slot plate limit the rotation, causing the battery cells to rotate, thereby correcting the rotation axis direction of the battery cells.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are: the reasonable structural design enables simultaneous and accurate positioning of multiple solar cells during the series connection of photovoltaic modules, which reduces the time for cell positioning adjustment during module series connection, helps improve cell positioning accuracy, and effectively improves the production speed and yield of photovoltaic module cell series connection production process.

The lead screw 25 drives the X-axis direction adjustment mechanism 1 to slide along the Y-axis guide rail 511 through the connecting plate 26 and the X-axis base plate 27, so as to generate displacement in the Y-axis direction and realize the adjustment of the battery cell 6 in the Y-axis direction.

[0025] like Figure 5 , 6As shown, the X-axis direction adjustment mechanism 1 includes an X-axis motor 11 fixed to one edge of the top surface of the X-axis base plate 27 via a mounting plate 12.
