Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a photovoltaic flower basket. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of photovoltaic (PV) modules, photovoltaic baskets are used as carriers for transferring silicon wafers or solar cells between different processes. In existing PV module manufacturing processes, the dicing process is moved before the cell manufacturing process; that is, the silicon wafers are cut into half-wafers or 1 / N smaller wafers before cell fabrication. After the dicing process, traditional single-row photovoltaic baskets are insufficient to meet process requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional single-row photovoltaic baskets to double-row or multi-row photovoltaic baskets. However, in traditional double-row or multi-row photovoltaic baskets, each row is produced separately and then assembled. This results in higher production costs and more complex assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a photovoltaic flower basket that can be used to arrange multiple rows of cut silicon wafers, while also taking into account the advantages of low production cost and simple assembly.

[0004] This application provides a photovoltaic flower basket, including two side plates arranged at relative intervals, and a connecting rod, a connecting plate, and a support rod disposed therebetween; both ends of the connecting rod and the support rod in a first direction are connected to the side plates;

[0005] The connecting plate has a first surface and a second surface facing each other. The first surface is connected to the connecting rod. A plurality of partition plates are provided on the second surface. Each adjacent partition plate is spaced apart to form a placement station for placing materials. Two adjacent connecting plates facing each other on the second surface constitute a working group. There are multiple working groups. Each working group has a support rod between two connecting plates.

[0006] A connecting rod is provided between two adjacent working groups, and two connecting plates with opposite first surfaces are connected to the same connecting rod.

[0007] In some embodiments, a plurality of the partition plates located on the same second surface are arranged at uniform intervals along the first direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the placement stations on two opposing second surfaces within the same work group are positioned in a one-to-one correspondence, with the two corresponding placement stations used to place a material.

[0009] In some embodiments, a positioning post is provided on the first surface of the connecting plate, and a connecting through hole is provided on the connecting rod in a second direction, which is different from the first direction; the connecting through hole is used to insert the positioning post.

[0010] In some embodiments, in two connecting plates connected to the same connecting rod, the positioning pins at corresponding positions on the two connecting plates are disposed in the same connecting through hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic flower basket further includes a connecting column; the positioning column is provided with a connecting column hole; the connecting column holes of two positioning columns provided in the same connecting through hole are connected to the same connecting column.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connecting rod is further provided with a filling hole; the filling hole connects the outer side of the connecting rod and the connecting through hole along a third direction, and the third direction is different from both the second direction and the first direction.

[0013] In some embodiments, the third direction, the second direction, and the first direction are all perpendicular to each other.

[0014] In some embodiments, the side plate is provided with a positioning groove, the opening of which is oriented toward the third direction.

[0015] In some embodiments, the support rod is located closer to the edge of the side plate where the positioning groove is provided, relative to the partition plate.

[0016] In the aforementioned photovoltaic flower basket, a working group is formed by connecting plates with two opposing second surfaces, and a support rod is provided between the two connecting plates of each working group, together forming a placement area.

The connecting plates with two opposing first surfaces are connected to the same connecting rod, reducing the use of structural components in the photovoltaic flower basket and saving production costs. Moreover, compared to assembling each column separately, the photovoltaic flower basket of this application connects the connecting plates with two opposing first surfaces to the same connecting rod, facilitating assembly.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a photovoltaic flower basket provided in one embodiment of this application. The photovoltaic flower basket of this application can be used to store materials. For example, it can be used to store sheet materials such as silicon wafers and solar cells during the photovoltaic module manufacturing process.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic flower basket, including two side plates 10 arranged at intervals, and a connecting rod 20, a connecting plate 30, and a support rod 50 disposed therebetween. The two ends of the connecting rod 20 and the support rod 50 in a first direction are connected to the side plates 10. The connecting plate 30 has opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface is connected to the connecting rod 20, and the second surface is provided with a plurality of partition plates 40, with adjacent partition plates 40 spaced apart to form placement stations for placing materials. Two adjacent connecting plates 30 with opposing second surfaces constitute a working group. There are multiple working groups, and a support rod 50 is disposed between the two connecting plates 30 in each working group. A connecting rod 20 is disposed between two adjacent working groups, and two connecting plates 30 with opposing first surfaces are connected to the same connecting rod 20.

[0030] In the aforementioned photovoltaic flower basket, a working group is formed by connecting plates 30 with their second surfaces facing each other, and a support rod 50 is provided between the two connecting plates 30 of each working group, together forming a placement area. In this placement area, multiple partition plates 40 are provided on the second surfaces of the two connecting plates 30, and each adjacent partition plate 40 has a placement station for placing materials. The placement station is used to place materials, and its bottom is supported by the support rod 50, thus allowing multiple materials to be placed in one placement area. Simultaneously, the multiple working groups in the photovoltaic flower basket can be arranged to form multiple placement areas, suitable for placing small-sized silicon wafers cut into half-wafers or 1 / N-wafers in two or N columns. The connecting plates 30 with their first surfaces facing each other are connected to the same connecting rod 20, reducing the use of structural components in the photovoltaic flower basket and saving production costs. Furthermore, compared to assembling each column separately after production, the photovoltaic flower basket of this application connects the two connecting plates 30 with their first surfaces facing each other to the same connecting rod 20, facilitating assembly.

[0031] Refer again Figures 1-3 As shown, exemplarily, Figures 1-3 The X direction in the diagram is the first direction. That is, the length directions of the connecting rod 20, the connecting plate 30, and the support rod 50 are all located in the first direction.

[0032] In some embodiments, the number of working groups in the photovoltaic flower basket is 2 to 10. Optionally, the number of working groups in the photovoltaic flower basket is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, a plurality of partition plates 40 located on the same second surface are arranged at uniform intervals along a first direction.

[0034] Multiple partition plates 40 located on the same second surface are evenly spaced along the first direction, which facilitates the placement of a silicon wafer or solar cell at equal intervals in each placement station, and facilitates the subsequent processing of the material.

[0035] In some embodiments, the placement stations on two oppositely arranged second surfaces in the same work group are in one-to-one correspondence, and the two corresponding placement stations are used to place a material.

[0036] It is understandable that the one-to-one correspondence between the placement stations on the two relatively set second surfaces means that the number of partition plates 40 on the two connecting plates 30 in the same working group is the same, and each partition plate 40 on one second surface corresponds to the position of each partition plate 40 on its corresponding second surface, so that the corresponding two placement stations are used to place one material.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning post 31 is provided on the first surface of the connecting plate 30, and a connecting through hole 21 is provided on the connecting rod 20, which extends through the connecting rod 20 in a second direction different from the first direction. The connecting through hole 21 is used to insert the positioning post 31.

[0038] The connection and fixation of the connecting rod 20 and the connecting plate 30 are facilitated by the connecting through hole 21 extending through the connecting rod 20 in the second direction and the insertion of the positioning post 31 provided on the first surface of the connecting plate 30. (Refer to...) Figures 1-4 As shown, exemplarily, Figures 1-4 The Y direction in the equation is the second direction.

[0039] In some embodiments, on each second surface, there are multiple positioning posts 31, and the multiple positioning posts 31 are spaced apart along a first direction.

[0040] In some embodiments, each pair of connecting rods 20 has multiple connecting through holes 21, and the multiple connecting through holes 21 are distributed at intervals along the first direction.

[0041] In some implementations, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0042] In some embodiments, in two connecting plates 30 connected to the same connecting rod 20, positioning pins 31 at corresponding positions on the two connecting plates 30 are respectively disposed in the same connecting through hole 21.

[0043] By positioning the corresponding positions of the positioning pins 31 on the two connecting plates 30 respectively within the same connecting through hole 21, it is easy to connect the two connecting plates 30 with their first surfaces facing each other to the same connecting rod 20, and a better connection and fixing effect can be achieved.

[0044] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic flower basket also includes a connecting post 60. The positioning post 31 is provided with a connecting post hole. The connecting post holes of two positioning posts 31 located in the same connecting through hole 21 are connected to the same connecting post 60.

[0045] By connecting the two positioning pins 31, which are set in the same connecting through hole 21, the connection pin 60 can be connected to the connecting pin hole of the two connecting plates 30 and the same connecting rod 20, which can further improve the connection and fixation effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 20 is also provided with a filling hole 22. The filling hole 22 connects the outer side of the connecting rod 20 and the connecting through hole 21 in a third direction, which is different from both the second and first directions.

[0047] Refer again Figures 1-4As shown, exemplarily, Figures 1-4 The Z direction in the diagram refers to the third direction. The connecting rod 20 is also provided with a filling hole 22, which facilitates the injection of glue into the connecting through hole 21, further improving the connection stability of the two positioning posts 31 set in the same connecting through hole 21, and further improving the connection and fixing effect between the two connecting plates 30 and the same connecting rod 20.

[0048] In some implementations, the third direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0049] In some implementations, the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0050] In some implementations, the third direction, the second direction, and the first direction are all perpendicular to each other.

[0051] It is understandable that the third direction, the second direction, and the first direction are all perpendicular to each other, meaning that the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction is also perpendicular to both the first and second directions.

[0052] In some embodiments, the side plate 10 is provided with a positioning groove 11, and the opening of the positioning groove 11 is oriented in a third direction.

[0053] The positioning groove 11 makes it easy to distinguish the front and back of the photovoltaic flower basket and facilitates the positioning of the photovoltaic flower basket during the subsequent production process of photovoltaic modules.

[0054] In some embodiments, the support rod 50 is located near the edge of the side plate 10 where the positioning groove 11 is provided, relative to the partition plate 40.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0056] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims, and the specification and drawings can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
