Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery cell manufacturing technology, and in particular to a wet basket apparatus and a chemical vapor deposition feeding system. Background Technology

[0002] In the solar cell production process, wet-process baskets play an indispensable role in the transport and loading of solar cells. However, the problem of cell tooth detachment is extremely prominent in the current use of wet-process baskets. During loading, friction between the loading belt and the bottom of the wet-process basket, as well as friction between the bottom of the wet-process basket and the side rails of the transport track, causes the solar cells in the basket to vibrate, leading to tooth detachment. After the wet-process basket is transported to the designated position, the motor continuously drives the flat belt, and the intense friction between the bottom of the wet-process basket and the flat belt is also a significant factor causing cell tooth detachment. Moreover, even slight vibrations during the transport of the wet-process basket from the fixed area to the basket lifting area can cause cell tooth detachment. The problem of cell tooth detachment seriously affects the yield and breakage rate of the production line. In addition, to handle the debris caused by cell tooth detachment, operators need to enter the machine for cleaning, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also poses many potential risks.

[0003] In conclusion, effectively solving the problem of tooth detachment of solar cells during wet-process basket processing is key to improving the quality and efficiency of solar cell production and ensuring production safety. Utility Model Content

[0053] See Figures 1-5 As shown, Figure 1 This is a front view of the wet-process flower basket device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a top view of the wet-process flower basket device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a rear view of the wet-process flower basket device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 The bottom view of the wet-process flower basket device provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a wet-process flower basket device provided in an embodiment of this application. The device includes a straightening frame 1000, a flower basket machine frame 2000, and a straightening mechanism. The flower basket machine frame 2000 is mounted on the straightening frame 1000, and the storage space A inside the flower basket machine frame 2000 (e.g., storage space A)... Figure 1(Indicated by the middle arrow) This is used to place the battery cells. The alignment mechanism includes a stop 3000 and a pushing device 4000. The pushing device 4000 includes a fixed end 4001 and a pushing end 4002. The fixed end 4001 is connected to the alignment frame 1000, and the stop 3000 is connected to the pushing end 4002 of the pushing device 4000. The pushing end 4002 can drive the stop 3000 to move relative to the fixed end 4001, thereby pushing the battery cells through the stop 3000 and adjusting the position of the battery cells in the storage space A of the basket rack 2000.

[0054] The flower basket rack 2000 is mounted on the organizing rack 1000. The design of the storage space A inside the flower basket rack 2000 needs to be planned according to the size and quantity of the solar cells to ensure that the solar cells can be placed stably. For the setting of storage space A and the arrangement of solar cells therein, refer to the conventional setting method of wet-process flower baskets in the prior art.

[0055] The fixed end 4001 of the pushing device 4000 is securely connected to the leveling frame 1000 to ensure stability during operation. The stop block 3000 is tightly connected to the pushing end 4002 of the pushing device 4000. The shape and material of the stop block 3000 are selected according to actual needs to effectively push the battery cells without damaging them. For example, the stop block 3000 can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity and wear resistance, and its shape can be designed according to the shape of the battery cell and common tooth removal positions to make it more precise when pushing the battery cell.

[0056] Firstly, the coordinated operation of the stop block 3000 and the pusher device 4000 allows for timely repositioning of potentially detached solar cells, effectively preventing issues like overlap and fragmentation in subsequent processes and significantly improving cell production yield. Simultaneously, reducing the adverse effects of detached cells decreases the frequency of operators entering the machine to clean up debris, lowering the risk of mechanical injury and ensuring personnel safety, while also enhancing overall production efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the wet-process flower basket device further includes a detection device 5000. The detection device 5000 is mounted on the flower basket frame 2000, with the detection end of the detection device 5000 facing the storage space A where the battery cells are placed. The pushing device 4000 and the detection device 5000 interact with each other via an electrical connection.

[0058] The detection device 5000 should be installed in a location that will not affect the normal operation of other components, while still providing comprehensive and accurate detection of the cell status. For example, it can be installed at the end or corner of the basket rack 2000 to avoid obstructing the cells and facilitate detection. The angle of the detection end of the detection device 5000 needs to be precisely adjusted to ensure that it covers the entire storage space A. When selecting the detection device 5000, a product with suitable detection accuracy and stability should be chosen based on the characteristics of the cells, such as common photoelectric sensors or infrared sensors. The electrical connection between the drive device 4000 and the detection device 5000 requires proper wiring to ensure a secure connection and prevent issues such as looseness or short circuits from affecting signal transmission. The wiring should also be protected to prevent wear and tear during equipment operation.

[0059] The detection device 5000 monitors the status of the solar cells in real time. If a cell's tooth has become detached beyond the safe range, it quickly transmits a signal to the push device 4000. The push device 4000 then rapidly activates the stop block 3000 to adjust the cell's position. This enables timely detection and handling of detached cell tooth issues, reducing defects such as chipping and breakage caused by tooth detachment, and improving the yield rate of solar cell production. Simultaneously, it reduces manual intervention in cell position adjustment, lowering labor costs and reducing risks associated with improper operation, thus enhancing the automation and stability of the production process and contributing to overall production efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the detection device 5000 includes a mirror reflection sensor and a reflective layer. A storage space A for placing battery cells is provided between the two ends of the basket frame 2000. The mirror reflection sensor is installed at one end of the basket frame 2000, and a reflective layer is installed at the opposite end. During setup, suitable installation positions at both ends of the basket frame 2000 are first determined. For the mirror reflection sensor, it should be securely installed at one end of the basket frame 2000, ensuring that the sensor's transmitting and receiving ends can function normally and are not interfered with by other components. The installation angle needs to be precisely calibrated so that the emitted light can accurately reach the opposite reflective layer. The reflective layer should be installed at the other end of the basket frame 2000, strictly opposite the mirror reflection sensor, ensuring that the reflective layer can effectively reflect the light emitted by the sensor. The material and surface characteristics of the reflective layer must be carefully selected to ensure good reflection effects; for example, a high-reflectivity metal material or a special reflective material should be selected. Simultaneously, during installation, care should be taken to avoid dust, stains, or other impurities that affect the reflection effect from adhering to the surface of the reflective layer. By using a mirror reflection sensor and a reflective layer, it is possible to accurately detect whether the solar cell has lost its teeth.

[0061] When the solar cells are in their normal position within storage space A of the basket rack 2000, the light emitted by the sensor is successfully received after reflection by the reflective layer. However, if a solar cell becomes dislodged, causing a change in position, it will block light reflection or alter the path of the reflected light, resulting in the sensor not receiving or receiving abnormal reflected light signals, thus indicating a dislodged solar cell. This detection method has high sensitivity and accuracy, enabling timely detection of dislodged solar cells. Furthermore, this simple detection device 5000, located at both ends of the basket rack 2000, does not occupy excessive space and does not interfere with the placement of solar cells or the operation of other components within the basket rack 2000. It offers high reliability and provides strong support for timely adjustment of solar cell positions, reducing defective and fragmented solar cells, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 -Appendix Figure 8 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the wet-process flower basket device provided in this application embodiment after removing the regular frame. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Top view, Figure 8 for Figure 6 The side view shows that the detection device 5000 is configured to detect the position of the battery cell within the storage space A and output a corresponding detection signal; the alignment mechanism is configured to receive the detection signal and move to the extension state according to the detection signal. The extension state refers to the state where the pushing end 4002 of the pushing device 4000 extends relative to the fixed end 4001, thereby causing the stop block 3000 to extend. The alignment mechanism also has a retracted state, whose motion logic is the opposite of the extension state.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the operating logic of the detection device 5000 is illustrated by dividing the storage space A into two independent spaces. First, based on the standard placement of the battery cells and possible tooth-detachment displacement, the storage space A of the basket rack 2000 is rationally divided into a first space and a second space. The boundaries of the two spaces are clearly defined by accurately measuring the dimensions of the battery cells and their position range under normal and tooth-detachment conditions, for example, by determining the extreme positions of the tooth-detached battery cells through multiple experiments. Battery cells located in the first space are designated as having a safe position, while battery cells outside the first space are designated as having a tooth-detachment position, i.e., the tooth-detachment position corresponds to the second space. The first and second spaces can be three-dimensional or planar spaces, and their specific configuration can vary depending on the type of battery cell.

[0064] For the detection device 5000, it is essential to ensure that it can accurately identify whether the solar cell is in the first space or the second space. This can be achieved by analyzing the light transmission and reflection signals between the mirror reflection sensor and the reflective layer. Based on the changes in light obstruction or reflection when the solar cell is in different spaces, different signal thresholds can be set, enabling the detection device 5000 to accurately determine the space in which the solar cell is located.

[0065] The alignment mechanism must achieve precise control connection with the detection device 5000. When the detection device 5000 detects that the solar cell is located in the second space, it can quickly and accurately send a start signal to the alignment mechanism. After receiving the start signal, the pushing device 4000 in the alignment mechanism drives the stop 3000 to precisely push the solar cell located in the second space to the first space. The movement trajectory and force of the stop 3000 need to be adjusted and optimized to avoid damaging the solar cell.

[0066] By clearly defining the safe position (first space) and the tooth-detached position (second space) of the solar cell, and utilizing the coordinated operation of the detection device 5000 and the straightening mechanism, tooth-detached solar cells can be detected and corrected in a timely manner. Once a solar cell is detected in the tooth-detached position (second space), the straightening mechanism quickly initiates and pushes it back to the safe position (first space), greatly reducing subsequent problems caused by tooth detachment.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, during setup, a suitable area is first selected on one side of the flower basket frame 2000 to install the alignment mechanism. This area should ensure that the pushing device 4000 and the stop block 3000 do not interfere with other components of the flower basket frame 2000 when they are in operation, while also facilitating the operation of the battery cells in the storage space A.

[0068] The pushing device 4000 is configured as a telescopic motor, with its base serving as the fixed end 4001 and its telescopic part as the pushing end 4002. For the telescopic motor, its base is securely mounted on the regulating frame 1000, using bolts, welding, or other methods to ensure a stable fixation and prevent loosening during motor operation, which could affect its working accuracy and stability. When multiple telescopic motors are installed, their relative positions must be accurate to ensure coordinated operation. When connecting the telescopic part of the telescopic motor to the stop block 3000, ensure a tight and reliable connection, such as using welding or high-strength connectors, so that the power of the telescopic motor can be effectively transmitted to the stop block 3000, driving it to move precisely.

[0069] A sizing frame 1000 can be equipped with one or more flower basket frames 2000. Each flower basket frame 2000 is equipped with a sizing mechanism, and each sizing mechanism includes at least two pushing devices 4000 and at least one stop block 3000. Assuming that there are two pushing devices 4000 and one stop block 3000, the fixed ends 4001 of the two pushing devices 4000 are both set on the sizing frame 1000, and the pushing ends 4002 of the pushing devices 4000 are both connected to the stop block 3000, so that the stop block 3000 is moved synchronously by the two pushing ends 4002.

[0070] In addition, the stroke and speed of the telescopic motor should be adjusted according to actual needs. The stroke should be sufficient to push the de-toothed battery cell from the second space to the first space, while the speed should ensure timely movement of the battery cell without causing impact damage due to excessive speed. After installation, the entire alignment mechanism needs to be debugged to check the coordination between the telescopic motor and the stop 3000, ensuring that the alignment mechanism functions normally when the detection device 5000 issues a start signal.

[0071] Multiple telescopic motors working in concert provide a more stable and powerful pushing force to the stop 3000, ensuring that even if the solar cell deviates significantly or encounters resistance, the stop 3000 can reliably push it back to a safe position, improving the reliability of the alignment mechanism. Furthermore, because multiple motors act simultaneously on the stop 3000, more precise control of its movement is achieved, allowing the stop 3000 to more accurately contact and push the solar cell, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring cell quality. Simultaneously, using a telescopic motor for the pushing device 4000 results in a simple and easy-to-control structure, facilitating maintenance and component replacement, and reducing equipment maintenance costs. This configuration effectively enhances the wet-process basket weir's ability to handle solar cell tooth loss, contributing to increased production efficiency and product yield.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, in the wet-process flower basket device, a guide block 2001 is provided on the flower basket frame 2000, and a guide groove 3001 is provided on the stop block 3000. The guide block 2001 and the guide groove 3001 are slidably connected, and their function is to provide guidance for the movement of the stop block 3000.

[0073] During setup, first, based on the moving path and stroke of the stop block 3000, accurately determine the installation position of the guide block 2001 on the basket frame 2000. Use appropriate fixing methods, such as bolting or welding, to ensure the guide block 2001 is securely installed on the basket frame 2000. The size and shape of the guide groove 3001 on the stop block 3000 must precisely match that of the guide block 2001 to ensure that the guide block 2001 can slide flexibly and smoothly within the guide groove 3001. During installation, strictly control the fitting accuracy between the guide block 2001 and the guide groove 3001 to avoid excessive gaps leading to inaccurate guidance, or excessive gaps causing jamming.

[0074] The cooperation between guide block 2001 and guide groove 3001 ensures that stop block 3000 moves accurately along a predetermined direction when pushing the solar cell. This effectively prevents stop block 3000 from deviating during movement, allowing it to more precisely contact and push the solar cell, thus increasing the success rate of pushing the de-toothed solar cell back to a safe position. Simultaneously, because the movement direction of stop block 3000 is accurately controlled, the possibility of collisions and friction with other components is reduced, lowering equipment wear and the probability of failure, extending the equipment's service life, and ensuring the stable operation of the entire wet-process basket assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 9 -Appendix Figure 11 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the wet-process flower basket device provided in the embodiments of this application after removing the flower basket frame. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A structural diagram from another perspective. Figure 11 for Figure 9 The side view shows that the flower basket frame 2000 is equipped with a lifting slider 2002, and the straightening frame 1000 is equipped with a corresponding lifting guide rail 1001, which are slidably connected. A lifting drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is also provided between the flower basket frame 2000 and the straightening frame 1000. Its function is to drive the flower basket frame 2000 to rise and fall relative to the straightening frame 1000, so that the flower basket frame 2000 can rise or fall according to external needs, so as to realize the function of filling the battery cells or allowing other devices to remove the battery cells.

[0076] First, select the appropriate specifications for the lifting slider 2002 and lifting guide rail 1001 based on the weight, dimensions, and lifting accuracy requirements of the flower basket frame 2000. The lifting slider 2002 should be securely installed on the flower basket frame 2000, using bolts or welding to ensure a stable connection and prevent the slider from loosening during the lifting process. During installation, ensure the mounting surface of the slider is flat to guarantee good contact with the guide rail.

[0077] For the lifting guide rail 1001, it must be precisely installed on the straightening frame 1000 to ensure that the verticality and straightness of the guide rail meet the requirements. A level and straightness measuring tools can be used for calibration. After the guide rail is installed, its surface needs to be cleaned and lubricated to reduce friction between the slider and the guide rail and ensure smooth lifting.

[0078] The choice of lifting drive mechanism depends on the actual power requirements. Common types include motor-driven screw and nut mechanisms and hydraulic drive mechanisms. If a motor-driven screw and nut mechanism is used, the motor should be installed in a stable position and connected to the screw via a coupling to ensure stable power transmission. The fit between the screw and nut must be precise, and the nut must be securely connected to the basket frame. If a hydraulic drive mechanism is used, the hydraulic station, oil pipes, and other components must be arranged appropriately to ensure the sealing and stability of the hydraulic system.

[0079] The height of the basket frame 2000, with its lifting structure, can be flexibly adjusted for easy integration with external equipment. During the cell filling process, adjusting the basket frame 2000 to a suitable height facilitates cell placement, improving loading efficiency and accuracy. During cell removal, the basket frame 2000 can be raised to a position easily accessible for other devices, reducing the difficulty and time required for cell removal and improving the overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the lifting structure increases the device's versatility, adapting to production scenarios with varying height requirements and expanding the application range of the wet-process basket frame system.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, a moving mechanism 2003 is provided at the bottom of the flower basket frame 2000, which is used to support the movement of the flower basket frame 2000. Specifically, the moving mechanism 2003 can be configured as a flat belt conveyor mechanism, which is driven by a flat belt drive motor provided on the side of the flower basket frame 2000.

[0081] In the specific setup, first install the flat belt conveyor mechanism at a suitable position at the bottom of the flower basket frame 2000. The size of the flat belt needs to be selected according to the size and weight of the flower basket frame 2000 to ensure that the flat belt can stably support the flower basket frame 2000. The flat belt drive motor is installed on the side of the flower basket frame 2000. It is necessary to ensure that the motor installation position is stable and that the connection between the motor shaft and the transmission components of the flat belt is precise. Couplings or other components can be used for connection to ensure efficient power transmission. The motor control circuit needs to be reasonably arranged, and insulation and protection measures should be taken to avoid faults such as short circuits. At the same time, appropriate limit devices should be set for the entire moving mechanism 2003 to prevent the flower basket frame 2000 from exceeding the reasonable range during movement.

[0082] The flat belt conveyor mechanism enables convenient movement of the flower basket frame 2000, facilitating the transfer of wet-processed flower baskets between different processes on the production line and improving the continuity and efficiency of the production process. Driven by a flat belt motor, the movement facilitates automated control, allowing for precise control of the flower basket frame 2000's speed and position according to production needs. This further enhances the level of automation, reduces the workload and errors of manual operation, and ensures the stability and consistency of the production process.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag 2004 is provided on the flower basket rack 2000. Each organizing rack 1000 corresponds to multiple flower basket racks 2000, and each flower basket rack 2000 has a unique RFID tag 2004. Its main function is to identify the wet-process flower baskets by number. In the event of a sudden abnormal situation, the wet-process flower baskets can be traced and isolated with the help of the tag.

[0084] During the setup process, select RFID tags 2004 suitable for stable operation within the working environment of the flower basket rack 2000. Securely install the tags in a prominent and easily obstructed / damaged location on the flower basket rack 2000, such as the upper side of the rack. Ensure the tag's mounting surface is flat during installation to avoid affecting recognition performance due to unevenness. Simultaneously, assign a unique code to each RFID tag 2004 on each flower basket rack 2000. Accurately enter the code into the management system to ensure a one-to-one correspondence with the specific flower basket rack 2000. Also, properly configure the RFID tag reading / writing equipment and strategically place it on the production line to ensure accurate tag reading during the movement of the flower basket rack 2000.

[0085] By using RFID tags 2004 to identify the ID numbers of wet-process flower baskets, the identity information of each flower basket rack 2000 can be quickly and accurately identified during the production process. In the event of a sudden anomaly, such as a battery cell quality problem or equipment malfunction related to a particular flower basket rack 2000, the wet-process flower basket can be quickly traced back to its usage trajectory and related production stages based on the tag information. Isolating problematic flower baskets effectively prevents the problem from escalating, avoids impacting other normal production stages, facilitates targeted investigation of the root cause of the problem, improves the efficiency and accuracy of production management, and ensures the stable operation of the production line and product quality.

[0086] A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) loading system includes the aforementioned wet basket assembly, a lifting platform, a cell transport track, a pull-out mechanism, and a cell retrieval mechanism. The lifting platform is responsible for lifting the cells, the cell transport track is used to transport the cells to the lifting platform, the pull-out mechanism picks up the cells from the storage space A of the wet basket assembly and places them on the cell transport track, and the cell retrieval mechanism picks up the cells from the lifting platform.

[0087] The location of the lifting platform must be compatible with the working range of the solar cell transport track and the cell-grabbing mechanism to ensure that the solar cells can be smoothly transported onto the platform and easily grasped by the grabbing mechanism. The lifting height and speed of the lifting platform need to be adjusted according to actual production needs, and smooth lifting can be achieved through drive components such as motors and lead screws. The solar cell transport track should be installed in a position that smoothly connects the pull-out mechanism and the lifting platform to ensure that the solar cells do not shift or fall during transportation. The surface material of the transport track should be selected appropriately to reduce frictional damage to the solar cells, and guide devices can be installed to ensure that the solar cells are transported along the correct path.

[0088] The pull-out mechanism should be positioned to easily retrieve battery cells from storage space A of the wet-process basket assembly. Its retrieval action requires precise control and can be achieved using components such as a robotic arm or suction cups. The movement trajectory and retrieval force of the pull-out mechanism must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the battery cells to avoid damage. Similarly, the cell-retrieving mechanism also requires precise control of its position and movement to ensure accurate retrieval of battery cells from the lifting platform and placement in the designated location. Its installation position and range of motion must be compatible with the lifting platform and the subsequent placement of the battery cells.

[0089] The entire chemical vapor deposition (CVD) loading system automates the transport and handling of solar cells from the wet basket to their final placement location. This reduces manual intervention, lowers the risk of cell damage due to human error, and improves production accuracy and stability. Close cooperation among the various mechanisms enhances production efficiency and streamlines the CVD loading process. The coordinated operation of the lifting platform, transport track, pull-out mechanism, and cell-retrieving mechanism ensures accurate cell placement during transport, further reducing defects such as cell overlap and fragmentation. This contributes to higher product yield and guarantees the smooth operation of the CVD production process.

[0090] A gantry-type traverse mechanism is used as the cell-picking mechanism, and a camera is equipped on the gantry-type traverse mechanism to position and identify the battery cells. Specific settings can be referenced from existing technologies. In actual use, when the mirror sensor detects that a battery cell has exceeded the safe position (tooth removal), the system automatically responds, controlling the stop block 3000 to straighten the battery cell. After re-detection and confirmation, a series of operations including a pull-out device, a fast track, a lifting platform, gantry traverse, and camera positioning are performed to place the battery cell onto the carrier plate. When the sensor detects that the battery cell is within the safe range, the pull-out device is activated directly, and the subsequent process is the same as in the first scenario. The entire process aims to prevent various adverse situations during production, ensure production safety, and improve the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0091] In some embodiments, four mirror sensors are provided on the lifting basket frame 2000. These sensors should be installed in locations that allow for comprehensive and accurate detection of the battery cell positions. Their detection angle must cover the entire battery cell storage area, and they must be securely installed at appropriate angles to avoid external interference affecting detection accuracy. The connections between the left and right side stops 3000 and the mechanisms driving their movement must be stable. The material and shape of the stops 3000 must effectively push the battery cells without causing damage. Furthermore, their travel distance and speed need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the battery cells and the actual production schedule.

[0092] The gripping force, frequency, and connection with the high-speed track of the hand-pulling device must be precisely set to ensure stable and reliable cell grabbing actions each time, and to quickly place the cells onto the high-speed track without causing cell displacement or damage. The transmission speed and surface material of the high-speed track must be compatible with the cells to reduce friction and collision damage, and its docking with the lifting platform must be precise to ensure smooth transfer of the cells. The lifting platform must achieve smooth lifting and lowering through a suitable drive device and a robust mechanical structure to ensure no shaking or displacement during cell lifting. The gantry traverse mechanism must have high operational precision to ensure accurate positioning during cell retrieval and placement. The gantry traverse camera must be installed in a position that clearly identifies the cell's position and orientation, and work in conjunction with the gantry traverse mechanism to achieve precise positioning.

[0093] By utilizing the mirror sensor for detection and the system's automatic response, defective solar cells can be promptly identified and addressed, preventing them from entering subsequent processes. This effectively prevents issues such as poor suction cup markings, misaligned edges on the feed line leading to missed pick-up, and problems like fragmentation, black spots, and black dots. It also reduces the need for frequent replacements of nozzles and other equipment, lowering the risk of through-and-through scratches and fragmentation in batches of solar cells, significantly improving the production quality of solar cells and consequently increasing the production line's yield. Simultaneously, the automation and precision of the entire process reduce manual intervention, lowering the personal safety risks faced by operators entering the machine to clean up debris, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0094] 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.

[0095] The above embodiments merely illustrate 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 application. 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.
