Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a carrier flipping structure and photovoltaic production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photovoltaic / solar technology, carrier boats are a common transport device used to move solar cells (silicon wafers or crystals) between process equipment. The cells are transported via carrier boats into various process equipment for a series of processing steps. With the continuous development of the photovoltaic / solar industry, carrier boats have been widely used in processes such as diffusion, oxidation, annealing, doping, PECVD, and LPCVD in the photovoltaic industry.

[0003] Typically, solar cells (silicon wafers or wafers) are loaded into horizontal slots on a specific carrier boat. After the carrier boat transports the solar cells (silicon wafers or wafers) into the process equipment to complete the relevant processes and then removes them from the equipment, the carrier boat needs to be flipped using a flipping structure. This flips the slot on the carrier boat and the solar cells (silicon wafers or wafers) it carries into a vertical position so that the solar cells (silicon wafers or wafers) can be unloaded from the slot by the wafer transfer device. However, traditional flipping structures usually directly execute the flipping command on the carrier boat, making it difficult to determine whether the carrier boat and solar cells are properly installed before performing the flipping. This results in low accuracy when the flipping structure performs the flipping action, thereby reducing the stability of the process equipment operation. Utility Model Content
