[0023] The grid lines of a solar cell are metal electrodes on the cell surface used to collect and conduct current; their conductivity directly affects the cell's conversion efficiency. In the manufacturing process of solar cells, electroplating is one of the key technologies for producing high-precision, low-resistance grid lines.

[0024] The existing solar cell grid plating fixture cross-trough structure is achieved by a robotic arm gripping the fixture from one trough to another. In order to continuously grip the fixture from one trough to another, multiple robotic arms are required to work together. However, the complex structure of the robotic arms leads to frequent failures and easily causes batch defects in the solar cells.

[0025] The following detailed description of the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the electroplating hanger cross-slot structure provided by this utility model, through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is a practical example.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a cross-tank structure for electroplating racks, applied in electroplating production processes. It transfers electroplating racks from one electroplating tank to another, enabling precise, phased control of the electroplating process, thereby improving coating quality and optimizing production efficiency. Specifically, the cross-tank structure for electroplating racks provided by this invention can be applied to the electroplating process of solar cell grid lines.

[0027] This utility model provides an electroplating fixture cross-tank structure, comprising a first tank 100 and a second tank 200, which are two spaced-apart electroplating tanks used for staged electroplating of battery cells. The cross-tank structure also includes a first conveying assembly 300, a second conveying assembly 400, a rotating component 500, and a moving component 600. The first conveying assembly 300 is disposed within the first tank 100, carries multiple fixtures, and drives the fixtures to move towards the second tank 200. The second conveying assembly 400 is disposed within the second tank 200, also carries fixtures, and drives the fixtures to move away from the first tank 100. The rotating component 500 is rotatably mounted between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200, and the moving component 600 is mounted on the rotating component 500. When the rotating component 500 drives the moving component 600 to rotate until it comes into contact with the hanger on the first conveying component 300, the moving component 600 removes the hanger from the first conveying component 300. When the rotating component 500 drives the moving component 600 to rotate closer to the second conveying component 400, the moving component 600 places the hanger on the second conveying component 400. This achieves the effect of transferring the hanger from the first conveying component 300 to the second conveying component 400, thereby realizing the transfer of the hanger within the first trough 100 and the second trough 200.

[0028] By setting a rotating component 500 between the first trough 100 and the second trough 200, and setting a moving component 600 on the rotating component 500, the rotating component 500 drives the moving component 600 to rotate between the first trough 100 and the second trough 200. The moving component 600 removes the fixture conveyed on the first conveying component 300 and transfers it to the second conveying component 400, thereby achieving the function of transferring the fixture from the first trough 100 to the second trough 200. Furthermore, the overall structure of the cross-trough structure is simple, improving upon the problem of the complex structure of the robotic arm currently used for fixture cross-troughing, which leads to frequent failures and easily causes batch defects.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first conveying assembly 300 includes a first conveyor belt 310, and the second conveying assembly 400 includes a second conveyor belt 410. The first conveyor belt 310 is installed in the first trough 100, and the second conveyor belt 410 is installed in the second trough 200. The first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410 are arranged facing each other, and the first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410 rotate in the same direction. When the first conveyor belt 310 rotates, it can drive the hanger carried on the first conveyor belt 310 to move. When the hanger is transferred to the second conveyor belt 410 through the moving assembly 600, the second conveyor belt 410 drives the hanger to move.

[0030] To ensure stable transport of the hanger by the first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410, and to prevent relative movement of the hanger during transport that could affect the docking of the moving component 600 with the hanger, in some optional embodiments, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first conveying assembly 300 further includes a plurality of first push blocks 320, which are equally spaced on the first conveyor belt 310. The second conveying assembly 400 further includes a plurality of second push blocks 420, which are equally spaced on the second conveyor belt 410. When the hanger is located on the first conveyor belt 310, the hanger abuts against the first push blocks 320, so that when the first conveyor belt 310 moves, the first push blocks 320 push the hanger to move, ensuring stable movement of the hanger on the first conveyor belt 310. Similarly, when the hanger is located on the second conveyor belt 410, the hanger abuts against the second push blocks 420, and when the second conveyor belt 410 moves, it drives the second push blocks 420 to push the hanger to move, ensuring stable movement of the hanger on the second conveyor belt 410.

[0031] Understandably, in order to ensure a stable connection between the hanger and the first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The distance between two adjacent first push blocks 320 on the first conveyor belt 310 is the same as the distance between two adjacent second push blocks 420 on the second conveyor belt 410. Thus, while the rotating component 500 maintains a uniform rotation speed adapted to the first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410, it can remove the hanger that has moved close to the rotating component 500 on the first conveyor belt 310, transfer it to the second conveyor belt 410, and abut against the second push blocks 420, ensuring the stable transfer of the hanger on the first conveyor belt 310 and the second conveyor belt 410.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the rotating component 500 includes a rotating shaft 510 and a wheel 520. Supports are provided on both sides of the first groove 100 and the second groove 200. The rotating shaft 510 is rotatably disposed between the two supports, and is located between the first groove 100 and the second groove 200 along a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the first groove 100 and the second groove 200. Wheels 520 are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft 510, and the moving component 600 is disposed on both wheels 520.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, the moving component 600 includes hooks 610 and rotating bearings 620. Multiple rotating bearings 620 are evenly spaced along the edge of the wheel 520, and hooks 610 are rotatably mounted on the hook bearings 610. Under the influence of gravity, the hooks 610 remain freely hanging during the rotation of the wheel 520. The hanger has a hanging groove adapted to the hook 610. When the first conveyor belt 310 transports one of the hangers close to the wheel 520, one of the hooks 610 on the wheel 520 rotates to correspond with the hanger, and as the wheel 520 rotates, the hanger is removed from the first conveyor belt 310 via the hook 610. The wheel 520 continues to rotate, moving the hanger to the second conveyor belt 410. The wheel 520 then continues to rotate, causing the hook 610 to detach from the hanger, thus placing the hanger on the second conveyor belt 410. This achieves the effect of transferring the hanger from the first conveyor belt 310 to the second conveyor belt 410.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, the moving component 600 may further include an electromagnet, connecting rods, and rotating bearings 620. Multiple rotating bearings 620 are evenly spaced along the edge of the wheel 520, and connecting rods are connected to each of the multiple rotating bearings 620. Electromagnets are connected to the ends of the multiple connecting rods. When the wheel 520 drives the electromagnet to rotate and engages with the hanger on the first conveyor belt 310, the electromagnet is activated to attract and fix the hanger. When the wheel 520 moves the hanger to the second conveyor belt 410, the electromagnet is deactivated, and the hanger is placed on the second conveyor belt 410, thus transferring the hanger from the first conveyor belt 310 to the second conveyor belt 410.

[0035] In summary, the implementation principle of the electroplating fixture cross-tank structure provided by this utility model is as follows: a rotating component 500 is set between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200, and a moving component 600 is set on the rotating component 500. The rotating component 500 drives the moving component 600 to rotate between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200, and the moving component 600 removes the fixture conveyed on the first conveying component 300 and transfers it to the second conveying component 400, thereby realizing the function of transferring the fixture from the first tank 100 to the second tank 200. Furthermore, the overall structure of the cross-tank structure is simple, improving upon the problem of complex robotic arm structures currently used for fixture cross-tank operations, which lead to frequent malfunctions and easily result in batch defects.

[0036] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
