Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a carrier boat clamping structure, a carrier boat transfer device, and a photovoltaic production system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of photovoltaic / solar technology, carrier boats (such as graphite boats) are a common transport device used to move solar cells (silicon wafers or crystals) between process equipment. The cells are transported by 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 (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition), and LPCVD (low-pressure chemical vapor deposition) in the photovoltaic industry.

[0003] In the PECVD coating process, as the capacity demands of processing equipment continue to increase, it is often necessary to use a transfer device to drive a carrier boat back and forth between the clean bench and the reactor. This is to deliver the carrier boat into the reactor chamber for cell coating or to the clean bench for purification after coating. After coating or purification, the carrier boat is then transported to another device to meet the requirements of the PECVD coating process. However, traditional transfer devices lack operational stability in picking up and transporting carrier boats. The carrier boat is prone to swaying during movement, affecting the positional accuracy of the transfer device when picking up and transporting the carrier boat between the clean bench and the reactor, thereby reducing coating efficiency.

Through the coordinated operation of a first driving device, a movable bracket, and a second driving device, the clamping assembly is driven to move vertically relative to the transfer platform, and simultaneously to move horizontally or rotate relative to the transfer platform.

In addition, the carrier boat clamping structure integrates multiple motion mechanisms, enabling the carrier boat to move in multiple degrees of freedom on the same structure. This optimizes the space utilization of the coating processing equipment, improves its automation level, and simplifies the overall structure of the equipment, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency to meet the demand for greater coating capacity.

One end of the top of the movable platform 64 in the second direction is the boat position A, and the top of the movable platform 64 is connected to the support frame 113 (support assembly 11) at the other end in the second direction.

[0106] The transverse drive mechanism 62 is preferably a linear drive mechanism such as a synchronous pulley or a lead screw nut, and the transverse guide structure 63 is preferably a transverse guide rod. The movable platform 64 is movably mounted on the transverse guide rod (transverse guide structure 63) through the transverse sliding sleeve 631.

[0107] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-8 In one embodiment of the photovoltaic production system provided by this utility model, which uses the carrier boat pressing structure of Example 1, the working principle of the carrier boat 30 transfer device is as follows:

[0108] When feeding the reactor 8, the cylinder drive mechanism (first linear drive mechanism 21) of the first drive device 2 drives the telescopic output component 212 to raise the lifting platform 31 (movable support 3) vertically until it lifts the translation pressure plate 53 on the clamping assembly 5 installed on the lifting platform 31 (movable support 3) via the second drive device 4 to a suitable height above the boat-carrying position A of the transfer platform 6; at the same time, the movable nut (moving component) of the screw nut drive mechanism (second linear drive mechanism 41) of the second drive device 4 is in the initial position, and at this time the clamping assembly 5 is located on one side of the boat-carrying position A of the transfer platform 6 in the first direction X. Thus, sufficient space is provided for the boat-taking device to place the carrier boat 30 at the boat-carrying position A of the transfer platform 6, and the clamping assembly 5 is prevented from interfering with and blocking the running path of the boat-taking device to place the carrier boat 30.

[0109] After the boat-laying device places the carrier boat 30 on the carrier boat position A of the transfer platform 6, the screw nut drive mechanism (second linear drive mechanism 41) drives the movable nut (moving component) to move the clamping assembly 5 horizontally along the first direction X towards the carrier boat position A until the translation plate 53 of the clamping assembly 5 moves to above the carrier boat 30 placed on the carrier boat position A. Then, with the cylinder drive mechanism (first linear drive mechanism 21) driving the lifting platform 31 (movable bracket 3) to descend to adjust the distance between the translation plate 53 and the top of the carrier boat 30, the carrier boat 30 is pressed tightly on the carrier boat position A, preventing the carrier boat 30 from shaking during the picking and delivery process, making the picking and delivery process of the carrier boat 30 more stable, and improving the positional accuracy of the transfer device picking and delivering the carrier boat 30 between the reactor 8 and the purification table 9.

[0110] After the carrier boat 30 is pressed into position A, the transfer drive device 7 drives the transfer platform 6 to enter the reaction chamber inside the reactor 8 along the first direction X. After reaching the coating position, the reactor 8 performs coating operations on the battery cells on the carrier boat 30. After the coating operation is completed, the transfer drive device 7 drives the transfer platform 6 to be taken out from the reactor 8 along the first direction X and sent into the purification table 9. After reaching the purification position, the purification table 9 performs purification operations on the battery cells on the carrier boat 30.

[0111] After the purification operation is completed, the transfer drive device 7 drives the transfer platform 6 to be taken out from the purification table 9 along the first direction X, and finally transported to the preset position. The cylinder drive mechanism (first linear drive mechanism 21) drives the telescopic output component 212 to drive the lifting platform 31 (movable bracket 3) to rise in the vertical direction until the translation pressure plate 53 on the pressing component 5 is raised to a suitable height above the carrier position A of the transfer platform 6. At the same time, the movable nut (moving component) of the screw nut drive mechanism (second linear drive mechanism 41) is reset to the initial position along the first direction X. At this time, the pressing component 5 is located on one side of the carrier position A of the transfer platform 6 in the first direction X, so as to make enough space for the boat taking out the carrier boat 30 from the carrier position A of the transfer platform 6, and to avoid the pressing component 5 interfering with and blocking the running path of the boat taking out the carrier boat 30.

[0112] After the launching device places the carrier boat 30 on the carrier boat position A of the transfer platform 6, the above process is repeated to continue the coating and cleaning operation of the carrier boat 30 for the next round.

[0113] In one embodiment of the photovoltaic production system provided by this utility model, which uses the carrier boat clamping structure of Embodiment 2, the working principle of the carrier boat 30 transfer device is similar to that of the above embodiment using the carrier boat clamping structure of Embodiment 1, with the only difference being:

[0114] The cylinder drive mechanism (first linear drive mechanism 21) of the first drive device 2 used to drive the lifting platform 31 (movable support 3) is replaced to drive the lifting plate 32 (movable support 3) to move up and down; the second drive device 4 adopts a tilting drive cylinder (tilting drive mechanism 43) installed on the lifting plate 32 (movable support 3) instead of the screw nut drive mechanism (second linear drive mechanism 41) installed on the lifting platform 31 (movable support 3); the screw nut drive mechanism (second linear drive mechanism 41) drives the movable nut (moving part) to drive the clamping assembly 5 to move horizontally along the first direction X towards the position A of the carrier boat, and replaces it with the tilting drive cylinder (tilting drive mechanism 43) driving the tilting output part (moving part) to drive the clamping assembly 5 to tilt towards or away from the transfer platform 6.

[0115] The clamping assembly 5, which includes a connecting horizontal plate 51 on the translation slider 421 of the translation guide rail (second linear guide structure 42) of the second drive device 4, a connecting vertical plate 52 mounted on the connecting horizontal plate 51 and extending upward in the height direction, and a translation pressure plate 53 mounted on the connecting vertical plate 52, is replaced with a clamping assembly 5 including a connecting swing arm 54 mounted on the flipping output member (moving member) of the flipping drive cylinder (flipping drive mechanism 43) and a flipping pressure plate 55 mounted on the connecting swing arm 54;

[0116] Thus, when the lifting plate 32 (movable bracket 3) moves downward near the transfer platform 6 and the flipping output component (moving component) moves backward near the transfer platform 6 (the cylinder drive mechanism retracts and the flipping drive cylinder returns to center), the flipping plate 55 presses the carrier boat 30 against the transfer platform 6. When the lifting plate 32 (movable bracket 3) moves upward away from the transfer platform 6 and the flipping plate 55 moves backward away from the transfer platform 6 (the cylinder drive mechanism extends and the flipping drive cylinder rotates 90 degrees), the flipping plate 55 makes way for the carrier boat 30 to be placed on the transfer platform 6. This replaces the action of the second drive device 4 driving the moving component to move the translating plate 53 of the pressing component 5 closer to or away from the transfer platform 6, and achieves the same effect of pressing the carrier boat 30.

[0117] In this embodiment, apart from the differences mentioned above, the working principle of the transfer device of the carrier boat 30 is similar to that of the embodiment using the carrier boat clamping structure of Embodiment 1, so it will not be described again here.

[0118] 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.
