Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar photovoltaic manufacturing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a boat clamping mechanism and a boat moving device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry, current photovoltaic processes such as diffusion, oxidation, annealing, doping, PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition), and LPCVD (low-pressure chemical vapor deposition) are produced using either vertical or horizontal furnaces. Both types of furnaces require the solar cells (silicon wafers or wafers) to be loaded into a specific boat (carrier) and fed into the furnace's reaction chamber for processing. By heating the reaction chamber and introducing specific reaction gases, specific processes such as coating, diffusion, oxidation, and thin film deposition are achieved on the silicon wafers or wafers. As the photovoltaic industry continues to develop, the requirements for equipment are constantly increasing, and the process routes are continuously being updated.

[0003] When specific processes are required on the solar cells, the cells to be processed are loaded onto a boat, and a boat-transfer device then moves the boat into the furnace tube for processing. When the processed solar cells need to be moved, the boat carrying the processed cells is also moved out of the furnace tube by the boat-transfer device and transported to a designated area for cooling, unloading, etc.

[0004] In related technologies, the boats used to load the battery cells are made of quartz or graphite, which are fragile materials. When the boat shakes and collides with other components during transportation, it is easily damaged, thereby reducing the boat's service life. Utility Model Content

[0037] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The boat clamping mechanism 1 proposed in this utility model is used for a boat moving device. This boat clamping mechanism 1 includes:

[0039] The fixing component 11 is set on the guide rail 2 of the boat-moving device and is used to support the boat 3;

[0040] The clamping component 12 is directly connected to the fixing component 11, or the clamping component 12 is indirectly connected to the fixing component 11 through the adjusting component 13, and is used to clamp the boat 3.

[0041] This utility model can clamp the boat 3 with the clamping component 12 and fix the boat 3 stably on the fixing component 11, so as to achieve stable fixation of the boat 3 on the boat moving device, ensuring the stability of the boat 3 during the moving process, avoiding the boat 3 from shaking and colliding with other components during the moving process and causing damage, and also avoiding the problem of the boat 3 and the battery cells in the boat 3 being damaged due to shaking.

[0042] It should be noted that the number of clamping components 12 in the boat clamping mechanism 1 can be set according to actual application requirements. In practical applications, it can be set according to the number of boats 3 that can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1, which can hold 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, two boats 3 can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1, and two clamping components 12 are provided for each boat 3. In this case, the boat clamping mechanism 1 has four clamping components 12. Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, a boat 3 can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1, and two clamping components 12 are provided for the boat 3. In this case, the boat clamping mechanism 1 has two clamping components 12.

[0043] For ease of explanation, the structure of a single clamping component 12 will be described in detail below.

[0044] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The clamping component 12 includes:

[0045] A fixed base 121 is connected to a fixed component 11 or an adjusting component 13;

[0046] The clamping assembly has a retracted state and an extended state. The clamping assembly includes two clamping members 122 that can move closer to or further away from each other, and a connecting member 123 connecting the two clamping members 122. Each clamping member 122 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 121.

[0047] An elastic component is used to restore the clamping component from a retracted state to an extended state. The elastic component includes two elastic elements 124, each elastic element 124 being connected to a corresponding clamping component 122 and a fixed base 121.

[0048] Specifically, when the clamping member 12 approaches the boat side, causing the boat side to enter between the two clamping members 122 and press against the connecting member 123, the two clamping members 122 can compress the elastic component and move closer to each other, causing the clamping assembly to be in a retracted state, thereby reducing the distance between the two clamping members 122 to clamp the boat side. When the clamping member 12 moves away from the boat side, causing the boat side to move out from between the two clamping members 122, the two clamping members 122 are pushed away from each other by the force of the elastic component, causing the clamping assembly to return to its original unfolded state, thereby releasing the boat side.

[0049] This utility model enables the clamping component 12 to clamp the side of the boat through the cooperation of the clamping assembly and the elastic assembly, which facilitates timely clamping and releasing of the boat 3. The use of this clamping component 12 makes clamping the boat 3 more convenient.

[0050] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, to enhance the fixation of each connector 123 on the fixed base 121, the fixed base 121 is hollow inside and has a top opening and a side opening. Two fixed side plates 125, detachably connected to the fixed base 121, are spaced apart at the side openings. Each clamping member 122 is connected to the corresponding fixed side plate 125 and the fixed base 121 via a pivot. This design stabilizes the connection between the clamping member 122 and the fixed base 121, improving the stability of the clamping assembly.

[0051] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, each clamping member 122 has an arc-shaped structure integrally formed with the clamping member 122 on the side near the connector 123 for allowing the boat side to enter. In addition, each clamping member 122 and each connector 123 is provided with a roller 126 on the side near the side opening. The roller 126 can make the boat side entry and exit smoother and also prevent the clamping components from scratching the boat side surface.

[0052] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The fixing component 11 includes a mounting plate 111, a fixing bracket 112, and a support member 113. The mounting plate 111 is mounted on the guide rail 2 of the boat-moving device, the fixing bracket 112 is mounted on the mounting plate 111 and perpendicular to the guide rail 2, and the support member 113 is mounted on the fixing bracket 112 and is used to support the boat 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing bracket 112 may also be mounted on the mounting plate 111 and parallel to the guide rail 2.

[0053] It should be noted that the number of support members 113 in the fixing component 11 can be set according to actual application requirements. In practical applications, it can be set according to the number of boats 3 that can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1. The number of boats 3 that can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, two boats 3 can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1, and two support members 113 are provided for each boat 3. In this case, the fixing component 11 has four support members 113. Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, a boat 3 can be placed in the boat clamping mechanism 1, and two support members 113 are provided for the boat 3. At this time, the fixing component 11 has two support members 113.

[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 112 is provided with an inclined positioning rod 114, and the end of the positioning rod 114 away from the fixed bracket 112 passes through the positioning through hole of the boat 3. The positioning rod 114 can make the boat 3 positioned on the support member 113 of the fixed bracket 112, thereby making the positioning of the boat 3 on the fixed bracket 112 more accurate and avoiding the boat 3 from shaking due to inaccurate positioning.

[0055] It should be noted that there can be multiple positioning rods 114 on the fixed bracket 112, which is not limited here. Furthermore, the positioning rods 114 serve an auxiliary positioning function and can be used to position the boat 3 on the fixed bracket 112 in the following two situations: Situation 1: When the boat 3 is close to the fixed bracket 112, the positioning rod 114 is first inserted into the positioning through hole of the boat 3. Guided by the positioning rod 114, the boat 3 is placed on the fixed bracket 112, thereby positioning the boat 3 on the fixed bracket 112. Situation 2: The boat 3 is already placed on the fixed bracket 112. When the clamping component 12 approaches the boat 3, the clamping component 12 pushes the positioning rod 114 into the positioning through hole of the boat 3, and at the same time, the clamping component 12 clamps the boat 3, thereby clamping the boat 3 while simultaneously positioning it on the fixed bracket 112.

[0056] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the clamping component 12 and the fixing component 11 are indirectly connected through the adjusting component 13. The adjusting component 13 includes a movable bracket 131 and a telescopic drive component 132. The clamping component 12 is provided on the movable bracket 131, and the telescopic drive component 132 is provided on the mounting plate 111. The driving end of the telescopic drive component 132 passes through the fixing bracket 112 and is connected to the movable bracket 131.

[0057] Specifically, after the boat 3 is placed on the fixed support 112, the telescopic drive 132 moves the movable support 131 closer to the fixed support 112 until the two clamping members 122 in the clamping member 12 come together to clamp the side of the boat. Before unloading the boat 3 from the fixed support 112, the telescopic drive 132 moves the movable support 131 away from the fixed support 112 until the two clamping members 122 in the clamping member 12 move away from each other to release the side of the boat.

[0058] It should be noted that as the clamping component 12 approaches the boat side under the action of the movable bracket 131, the boat side enters between the two clamping components 122, causing the center of the clamping component 12 to be stressed. The two clamping components 122 then move closer together to clamp the boat side, thus restricting its outward removal. Simultaneously, as the clamping component 12 moves away from the boat side under the action of the movable bracket 131, two of the clamping components 122 automatically unfold to release the boat side, requiring no manual operation or other intervention, thus facilitating the removal of the boat 3.

[0059] This invention also enables the clamping component 12 to move under the action of the adjusting component 13, so as to move closer to or away from the side of the boat, making the use of the clamping component 12 more convenient. Moreover, it is automatically controlled by the telescopic drive component 132, eliminating the need for manual operation, saving labor costs, and making the use more efficient.

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the movable bracket 131 and the fixed bracket 112 are connected by a telescopic assembly. The telescopic assembly includes a plurality of telescopic rods 133 spaced apart. The fixed end of each telescopic rod 133 is connected to the movable bracket 131, and the free end of each telescopic rod 133 passes through the through hole of the fixed bracket 112. This design allows the movable bracket 131 to drive the telescopic rods 133 to extend and retract back and forth in the through hole of the fixed bracket 112.

[0061] Specifically, when the boat clamping mechanism 1 needs to clamp the boat 3, the telescopic drive 132 drives the movable bracket 131 to move closer to the fixed bracket 112, so that the telescopic rod 133 extends into the through hole in the fixed bracket 112. This makes the connection between the movable bracket 131 and the fixed bracket 112 more stable, preventing the boat clamping mechanism 1 from shaking during the transport of the boat 3 due to the excessive length of the fixed bracket 112 and the movable bracket 131. This improves the rigidity and stability of the connection between the fixed bracket 112 and the movable bracket 131, preventing the movable bracket 131 from shaking and damaging the boat 3 and the battery cells in the boat 3. When the boat clamping mechanism 1 needs to release the boat 3, the telescopic drive 132 drives the movable bracket 131 to move away from the fixed bracket 112, so that the telescopic rod 133 retracts in the through hole of the fixed bracket 112, making more space for the boat 3 to be taken out. This provides sufficient space for the boat 3 to be picked up and put away, avoiding damage to the boat 3 from collisions with other components due to insufficient space.

[0062] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, there are two fixed brackets 112 and two movable brackets 131. A mounting plate 111 is connected between the two fixed brackets 112. The driving end of the telescopic drive member 132 passes through one of the fixed brackets 112 and connects to one of the movable brackets 131. The telescopic connection assembly 14 includes two telescopic connectors 141 and a rotating connector 142 connected between the two telescopic connectors 141. The rotating connector 142 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 111. The end of each telescopic connector 141 away from the rotating connector 142 passes through the corresponding fixed bracket 112 and connects to the corresponding movable bracket 131. This design allows the telescopic drive member 132 to drive the telescopic connection assembly 14, thereby moving the two movable brackets 131.

[0063] For ease of explanation, the two fixed supports 112 are referred to as the first fixed support and the second fixed support, respectively, and the two movable supports 131 are referred to as the first movable support and the second movable support, respectively. The first movable support is arranged in parallel with the first fixed support, and the second movable support is arranged in parallel with the second fixed support. The first movable support is connected to the drive end of the telescopic drive member 132.

[0064] Specifically, when the boat clamping mechanism 1 needs to clamp the boat 3, the telescopic drive member 132 drives the first movable bracket to move closer to the first fixed bracket. The first movable bracket drives the two telescopic connectors 141 in the telescopic connection assembly 14 to move closer to each other. Then, the telescopic connection assembly 14 drives the second movable bracket to move closer to the second fixed bracket, thereby bringing the clamping components on both sides of the boat 3 closer to the boat 3 and clamping the boat 3. When the boat clamping mechanism 1 needs to release the boat 3, the telescopic drive member 132 drives the first movable bracket to move away from the first fixed bracket. The first movable bracket drives the two telescopic connectors 141 in the telescopic connection assembly 14 to move away from each other. Then, the telescopic connection assembly 14 drives the second movable bracket to move away from the second fixed bracket, thereby moving the clamping components on both sides of the boat 3 away from the boat 3 and releasing the boat 3.

[0065] The boat-moving device proposed in this utility model includes a guide rail 2 and a boat clamping mechanism 1 disposed on the guide rail 2. The specific structure of the boat clamping mechanism 1 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0066] The boat clamping mechanism and boat-moving device proposed in this utility model include at least one clamping component for each boat on the boat-moving device to prevent the boat from swaying during transportation. Furthermore, the clamping component is designed as a retractable structure to prevent excessive clamping force from damaging the boat. In addition, the clamping component moves in conjunction with the adjusting component, making its use more convenient. Furthermore, the fixed component is equipped with a positioning rod to prevent the boat from shifting, improving the accuracy of boat positioning during transportation. Moreover, the fixed bracket in the fixed component and the movable bracket in the adjusting component are connected by a telescopic assembly to enhance the stability of the connection between the fixed and movable brackets.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
