[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of solar cell manufacturing technology, and in particular to a battery carrier clamping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The solar cell carrier clamping mechanism is a crucial component of solar cell manufacturing equipment. Its working principle involves using a carrier plate to support the workpieces, such as solar cells, and transporting the carrier plate to a heating station where the solar cells are heated. However, currently, the carrier plate can only be adjusted one-by-one to accommodate each solar cell, requiring frequent replacement or adjustment of components in practical use, leading to low production efficiency. Furthermore, the carrier plate is prone to positional shifts during its entry into the heating station, affecting the uniformity of heating of the solar cells and causing serious consequences such as poor processing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the slides located in the two slide moving slots of the same slide mounting position are respectively connected to the two clamping plates so that the two clamping plates move in opposite directions.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting position of the top plate corresponds to the midpoint of the two slide movement slots located at the same slide mounting position.

[0010] In some embodiments, the substrate is further provided with a plurality of spaced partitions, wherein each partition is located between two adjacent slide mounting positions and is used to separate the battery cells.

[0011] In some embodiments, the base plate of the carrier plate is further provided with a guide rod along a third direction; the base plate of the carrier plate is provided with a guide hole, and the guide rod is movably inserted into the guide hole for vertically connecting the base plate of the carrier plate and the base plate of the carrier plate, wherein the height of the guide rod is higher than that of the top plate, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0020] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some examples or embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, these drawings can be applied to other similar scenarios without creative effort. Unless obvious from the context or otherwise specified, the same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same structures or operations.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0022] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1This is a top view schematic diagram of a battery carrier clamping mechanism provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 This is a side view of the overall structure of a battery carrier clamping mechanism provided in this embodiment; Figure 3 This is a partially enlarged view of a battery carrier clamping mechanism provided in this embodiment; Figure 4 This is a partial side view of a battery carrier clamping mechanism provided in this embodiment.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The battery carrier plate clamping mechanism includes: a carrier plate substrate 100 and a carrier plate bottom plate 200. Figure 2 Part A is a portion near the left side of the carrier plate 100. The carrier plate 100 contains an isolation assembly and a sliding assembly. The isolation assembly includes a small partition 11 along a first direction x and a clamping plate 12 along a second direction y. The clamping plate 12 and the small partition 11 form a storage cavity for clamping the battery cell 10. The sliding assembly is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 12 and is used to move the clamping plate 12 in the first direction x to clamp the battery cell 10. The first direction x is perpendicular to the second direction y. A base plate 2 is mounted on the side of the carrier plate 1 opposite to the sliding assembly. The base plate 2 has a top plate 21 along the second direction y, and the mounting position of the top plate 21 corresponds to the mounting position of the sliding assembly, used to press against the clamping plate 12.

[0025] Specifically, taking the surface of the carrier plate 1 as the horizontal plane, the first direction x refers to the length direction of the carrier plate 1. The second direction y refers to the width direction of the carrier plate 1. The third direction z refers to the vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0026] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The enlarged view shown in part A shows that the sliding assembly includes a slide moving groove 13 along the first direction x, a slide 14 disposed in the slide moving groove 13, and a slide rod 15, wherein the inner side of the slide 14 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 12, and the outer side of the slide 14 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 15.

[0027] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a spring 16 is sleeved on the outer ring of the slide rod 15 to reset the slide rod 15.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 The carrier plate 100 includes an upper frame 101 and a lower frame 102 disposed opposite to each other. The inner sides of both the upper frame 101 and the lower frame 102 are provided with multiple spaced-apart slide mounting positions. Each slide mounting position has two back-to-back slide moving grooves 13. The upper frame 101 and the lower frame 102 are disposed along a first direction x.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the slides 14 in the two slide moving slots 13 located at the same slide mounting position are respectively connected to two clamping plates 12, so that the two clamping plates 12 move in opposite directions. The mounting position of the top plate 21 corresponds to the middle position of the two slide moving slots 13 located at the same slide mounting position.

[0030] The working principle of the above specific implementation is as follows: when the carrier substrate 100 and the carrier bottom plate 200 are docked in the third direction z, the top plate 21 will squeeze the slide 14 in the two back-to-back slide moving grooves 13 provided at the corresponding slide mounting position, so that the two clamping plates 12 move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the purpose of straightening and clamping the battery cell 10.

[0031] For example, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 When the top plate 21 presses against the two back-to-back clamping plates 12, one of the clamping plates 12 will move the battery cell 10 located in the left storage cavity of the part A to the left, while the other clamping plate 12 will move the battery cell 10 located in the right storage cavity of the part A to the right, until both battery cells 10 are neatly arranged and clamped in their respective storage cavities, thereby preventing the battery cell 10 from shifting its position on the carrier plate 100.

[0032] Furthermore, the working principle of the above specific implementation is as follows: after the process is completed, the carrier substrate 100 and the carrier bottom plate 200 are separated in the third direction z. At this time, the top plate 21 no longer presses the slide block 14. Due to the action of the spring 16 sleeved on the outer ring of the slide rod 15, the slide block 14 will drive the clamping plate back to the slide block mounting position, that is, restore the initial position.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of partitions 19 are also provided inside the carrier substrate 100, wherein each partition 19 is located in the middle of two adjacent slide mounting positions and is used to separate the battery cells 10.

[0034] Specifically, each partition 19 is disposed between the upper frame 101 and the lower frame 102 along the second direction y, and the clamping plate 12 is parallel to the partition 19; a plurality of small partitions 11 are distributed at intervals along the first direction x and at intervals along the second direction y.

[0035] The working principle of the above specific implementation is as follows: when the carrier substrate 100 and the carrier bottom plate 200 are docked in the third direction z, all the top plates 21 on the carrier bottom plate 200 will press the corresponding slides 14, so that all the clamping plates 12 on the carrier substrate 100 will move, thereby enabling all the battery cells 10 in the storage cavity to be neatly arranged and clamped at one time, avoiding frequent replacement or adjustment of components, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the carrier plate base 200 is further provided with a guide rod 22 along a third direction z; the carrier plate substrate 100 is provided with a guide hole 17, and the guide rod 22 is movably inserted into the guide hole 17 for vertically connecting the carrier plate substrate 100 and the carrier plate base 200, wherein the height of the guide rod 22 is higher than that of the top plate 21. The guide hole 17 is provided at both ends of the carrier plate substrate 100; the guide rod 22 is provided at both ends of the carrier plate base 200.

[0037] The working principle of the above specific implementation is as follows: the guide rod 22 and the guide hole 17 make the two side plates of the carrier substrate 100 and the carrier bottom plate 200 form a stable docking structure in the third direction z, so as to avoid the offset of the battery cell 10 due to the misalignment of the carrier substrate 100, thereby ensuring the processing quality of the battery cell 10.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a rubber clamping block 121 is provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 12 for forming a flexible contact with the battery cell 10.

[0039] The working principle of the above specific implementation is as follows: when the clamping plate 12 moves the battery cell 10, the rubber clamping block 121 buffers the battery cell 10, thereby avoiding defects such as edge chipping and microcracks caused by the force on the battery cell 10, and thus ensuring the processing quality of the battery cell 10.
