[0002] In the field of photovoltaic / solar technology, carrier boats are a common transport device used to move solar cells (silicon wafers) between process equipment.

[0120] The second detection module 74, installed on the storage platform 71 and located at one end of the platform, is used to detect whether the storage platform 71 is carrying the carrier boat 9, to avoid the problem of the docking and handling equipment incorrectly performing the boat-moving operation when the storage platform 71 is not carrying the carrier boat 9 (no boat). The third detection module 75, installed on the storage platform 71 and located at one end of the second detection module 74 opposite to the storage platform 71, is used to detect whether the carrier boat 9 is placed correctly on the storage platform 71, to avoid the problem of the carrier boat 9 tilting due to improper placement, causing the solar cells (silicon wafers) to fall off. This further improves the accuracy of the boat-moving operation of the docking and handling equipment and further reduces the equipment failure rate.

[0123] This utility model also provides a photovoltaic production system, including a conveying device (not shown in the figure) for conveying a carrier 8, and also including the above-mentioned connecting and handling equipment. The carrier 8 is used to place several carrier boats 9.

[0124] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that 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.
