[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This disclosure is based on and claims the priority of Chinese patent application with application number 202420165288.7 and application date of January 23, 2024. The entire contents of the Chinese patent application are hereby incorporated into this disclosure by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of production equipment, and in particular to an irradiation device and production equipment. Background Art

[0004] The irradiation device is a device that uses light waves for processing and can be used to fix and assemble components to be connected. For example, when producing photovoltaic products, the welding ribbon is connected and fixed to the grid line of the battery cell. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an irradiation device, comprising a substrate and an irradiation mechanism, wherein the irradiation mechanism comprises at least two light-emitting components, and the at least two light-emitting components are connected to the substrate, wherein the light-emitting components are configured to generate light waves, and the at least two light-emitting components can generate at least two different light waves; the at least two light-emitting components are spaced apart along a first direction, and the at least two light-emitting components include a first light-emitting component and a second light-emitting component, and the first light-emitting component and the second light-emitting component are alternately distributed along the first direction; the first light-emitting component includes at least two first light-emitting parts, and at least two first light-emitting parts in the first light-emitting component are spaced apart along the second direction; the first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle.

[0006] The irradiation device provided in the embodiments of the present application has a base body that provides support for the irradiation mechanism. The irradiation mechanism includes at least two light-emitting components, both of which are connected to the base body. The light-emitting components are used to generate light waves, and the at least two light-emitting components can generate at least two light waves. This allows a single irradiation device to simultaneously generate multiple light waves, allowing production processing using different forms of illumination. On this basis, since the at least two light-emitting components connected to the same base body can generate at least two light waves, different forms of illumination processing can be performed in a single irradiation device. On the one hand, this saves space and shortens the length of the production line. On the other hand, the simultaneous processing of different forms of illumination can shorten the processing time, thereby improving production efficiency. Compared with the related art solution in which each irradiation device can only perform one form of processing, the irradiation device of the embodiments of the present application, because at least two light-emitting components are arranged on the base body to generate at least two different light waves, can simultaneously perform multiple different forms of illumination processing, reducing the length of the production line to save space and improving production efficiency. The spaced-apart first light-emitting elements facilitate light wave fusion and require less energy than the first light-emitting components arranged as a whole, thus helping to reduce energy consumption.

[0007] In a possible implementation of the present application, the first light-emitting element is used to generate ultraviolet light waves.

[0008] Here, the first light-emitting component includes at least two first light-emitting elements for generating ultraviolet light waves, and at least two first light-emitting elements in the first light-emitting component are spaced apart along the second direction, so that the ultraviolet light waves generated by different first light-emitting elements are integrated with each other to improve the uniformity of the ultraviolet light waves.

[0009] In one possible implementation of the present application, the second light-emitting component includes a second light-emitting element, which is used to generate infrared light waves; the second light-emitting element extends to both ends of the first light-emitting component along the second direction; or, the second light-emitting component includes at least two second light-emitting elements, and at least two second light-emitting elements in the second light-emitting component are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0010] Here, the second light-emitting component includes a second light-emitting element for generating infrared light waves. The second light-emitting element can extend along the second direction to both ends of the first light-emitting component, with a simple structure and low cost; or, at least two second light-emitting elements in the second light-emitting component are spaced apart along the second direction, so that the infrared light waves generated by different second light-emitting elements are integrated with each other to improve the uniformity of the infrared light waves. In addition, the spaced apart second light-emitting elements require less energy than the second light-emitting component with an overall light-emitting arrangement, which helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0011] In a possible implementation of the present application, there are multiple first light-emitting components and multiple second light-emitting components, and the multiple first light-emitting components and the multiple second light-emitting components are alternately distributed along the first direction.

[0012] Here, multiple first light-emitting components and multiple second light-emitting components are provided, which can emit multiple ultraviolet light waves and infrared light waves to improve processing efficiency, and the alternating distribution of the first light-emitting components and the second light-emitting components is more uniform, so as to facilitate the simultaneous processing of ultraviolet light waves and infrared light waves.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the present application, there is a first vertical distance between the first light-emitting component and the substrate, there is a second vertical distance between the second light-emitting component and the substrate, and the first vertical distance is less than or equal to the second vertical distance.

[0014] Here, the first vertical distance is smaller than the second vertical distance, that is, the second light-emitting component is closer to the component to be connected than the first light-emitting component, so that the infrared light waves emitted by it can reach the component to be connected. When the first vertical distance and the second vertical distance are different, the arrangement of the first light-emitting component and the second light-emitting component is more dispersed, which is conducive to heat dissipation.

[0015] In a possible implementation of the present application, the second light-emitting element extends to both ends of the first light-emitting component along the second direction, and the first vertical distance is smaller than the second vertical distance; or, multiple second light-emitting elements are spaced apart along the second direction, and the first vertical distance is equal to the second vertical distance.

[0016] Here, when the second light-emitting component is longer in the second direction, the first vertical distance is set to be smaller than the second vertical distance. On the one hand, it is convenient for the infrared light waves generated by the second light-emitting component to reach the component to be connected, and on the other hand, the first light-emitting component is kept away from the second light-emitting component to facilitate heat dissipation; when the second light-emitting component is shorter in the second direction, the first vertical distance is set to be equal to the second vertical distance, that is, the first light-emitting component and the second light-emitting component are located on the same plane, which can save space and facilitate layout.

[0017] In a possible implementation of the present application, at least two mounting structures are provided on the base, and the light-emitting assembly includes a light-emitting part; the light-emitting part is detachably connected to the mounting structure; or, at least two light-emitting parts form a light-emitting module, and the light-emitting module is detachably connected to the mounting structure, wherein the light-emitting module includes at least two light-emitting parts in the same light-emitting assembly, or the light-emitting module includes at least two light-emitting parts in different light-emitting assemblies.

[0018] Here, by setting a mounting structure on the base, the light-emitting part or the light-emitting module formed by the light-emitting part can be detachably connected to the mounting structure. By changing the mounting structure to which the light-emitting part or the light-emitting module is connected, the position of the light-emitting part or the light-emitting module relative to the base can be adjusted to adapt to different production needs, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the irradiation device.

[0019] In a possible implementation of the present application, the irradiation device also includes a displacement mechanism, which includes a guide member and a carrier member, the guide member is connected to the base, and the carrier member can move relative to the guide member; the light-emitting component includes a light-emitting member, and the carrier member is connected to at least one light-emitting member.

[0020] Here, a displacement mechanism is provided, the guide of the displacement mechanism is connected to the base, the carrier moves along the guide, and the light-emitting component is connected to the carrier, thereby moving relative to the base to adjust the relative position of the light-emitting component and the base, which is convenient and efficient to adjust.

[0021] In a possible implementation of the present application, a plurality of limiting structures are provided on the guide member, and the plurality of limiting structures are arranged in sequence along the movement direction of the supporting member, and the supporting member can be detachably connected to any limiting structure; or, the displacement mechanism also includes a locking member, which is used to lock or unlock the supporting member relative to the guide member.

[0022] Here, by setting a limiting structure, the carrier is connected to different limiting structures, thereby fixing the light-emitting component on the carrier relative to the base; or, a locking member is set to lock the carrier relative to the guide member, thereby fixing the light-emitting component on the carrier relative to the base.

[0023] In a possible implementation of the present application, the irradiation device also includes a heat dissipation mechanism, which includes a heat conduction circuit and a heat sink. At least part of the light-emitting component is thermally connected to the heat conduction circuit, and the heat conduction circuit includes a circulating heat conduction medium; the heat sink is connected to the heat conduction circuit to exchange heat with the heat conduction medium.

[0024] Here, since a heat conduction loop and a heat sink are provided, at least part of the light-emitting components are heat-conductingly connected to the heat conduction loop, thereby transferring the generated heat to the heat conduction medium circulating in the heat conduction loop. The heat conduction medium exchanges heat with the heat sink, thereby transferring the heat to the heat sink, which is then dissipated by the heat sink. The heat dissipation effect is good, which is beneficial to the cooling of the light-emitting components.

[0025] In a possible implementation of the present application, the base is formed with a accommodating cavity, the light-emitting component is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the base is provided with a vent connected to the accommodating cavity; the heat dissipation mechanism also includes an airflow generator, which is used to generate an airflow flowing through the vent and the accommodating cavity.

[0026] Here, the light-emitting component is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the accommodating cavity is connected to the vent. An airflow generator is provided to generate an airflow flowing through the vent and the accommodating cavity. The heat generated by the light-emitting component is taken away by the airflow and dissipated to the outside through the vent to dissipate the heat of the light-emitting component, which is beneficial to the cooling of the light-emitting component.

[0027] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a production device, comprising a carrier and the irradiation device of the first aspect, wherein the irradiation device is connected to the carrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The technical solutions of the present disclosure are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0045] In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they may change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0047] In the disclosed embodiments, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present disclosure should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0049] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a production device that can be used to fix and assemble components to be connected. For example, when producing photovoltaic products, the components to be connected may be battery cells and welding strips, and the production device can connect and fix the welding strips to the grid lines of the battery cells.

[0050] 1 , the production equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a carrier frame 5 and an irradiation device. The irradiation device is connected to the carrier frame 5. The carrier frame 5 is configured to place battery cells. A soldering strip is placed on the side of the battery cell facing the irradiation device. The irradiation device can generate light waves to irradiate the soldering strip, thereby heating and fusing the soldering strip to the battery cell. Alternatively, the light waves promote a chemical reaction in the soldering strip, thereby bonding it to the battery cell.

[0051] In the related art, the connection between the soldering ribbon and the battery cell requires the use of multiple irradiation devices. Each irradiation device generates different types of light waves, and the soldering ribbon and the battery cell are connected and fixed in various ways. However, multiple irradiation devices will cause the production line to be too long, occupy more space, and also lead to too long production time, affecting production efficiency.

[0052] Therefore, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an irradiation device. Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the irradiation device includes a substrate 1 and an irradiation mechanism 2. The irradiation mechanism 2 includes at least two light-emitting components 21. The at least two light-emitting components 21 are both connected to the substrate 1, wherein the light-emitting components 21 are configured to generate light waves, and the at least two light-emitting components 21 can generate at least two different light waves.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 1 can be a plate-like structure, a block-like structure, a shell-like structure, a frame structure, etc. The base 1 includes a structural surface 11 facing the component to be connected, etc. The light-emitting component 21 is connected to the structural surface 11 so that the emitted light can reach the component to be connected.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, the light-emitting assembly 21 can be configured to generate infrared light waves, ultraviolet light waves, or light waves of any other wavelength band. Infrared light waves can fuse the components to be connected by heating them. For example, infrared light waves heat the soldering ribbon, causing it to melt and adhere to the grid lines of the cell. Ultraviolet light waves can induce a chemical reaction in the components to be connected, causing the soldering ribbon to generate an adhesive through the chemical reaction, thereby bonding and solidifying the soldering ribbon to the grid lines of the cell.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, one light-emitting component 21 can generate one light wave, different light-emitting components 21 can generate the same light wave or different light waves, and all the light-emitting components 21 on the substrate 1 can generate at least two light waves, for example, some light-emitting components 21 generate infrared light waves, and other light-emitting components 21 generate ultraviolet light waves.

[0056] In the irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 1 provides support for the irradiation mechanism 2, and the irradiation mechanism 2 includes at least two light-emitting components 21, and the at least two light-emitting components 21 are connected to the base 1. The light-emitting components 21 are configured to generate light waves, and the at least two light-emitting components 21 can generate at least two light waves, so that the same irradiation device can synchronously generate multiple different light waves and perform light production processing in different forms.

[0057] On this basis, since at least two light-emitting components 21 connected to the same substrate 1 can generate at least two light waves, different forms of light processing can be performed in one irradiation device. On the one hand, space is saved and the length of the production line is shortened. On the other hand, different forms of light processing can be performed simultaneously, which can shorten the time required for processing and thus improve production efficiency.

[0058] Compared with the solution in the related art where each irradiation device can only perform one form of processing, the irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, since at least two light-emitting components 21 are arranged on the substrate 1, can generate at least two different light waves and perform multiple different forms of lighting processing simultaneously, which not only reduces the length of the production line and saves space, but also improves production efficiency.

[0059] In order to improve the uniformity of ultraviolet light waves and reduce energy consumption, referring to Figures 2 and 3, in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, at least two light-emitting components 21 are spaced apart along a first direction A, and at least two light-emitting components 21 include a first light-emitting component 21a; the first light-emitting component 21a includes at least two first light-emitting elements 211a, and at least two first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting component 21a are spaced apart along a second direction B, and the first light-emitting element 211a is configured to generate ultraviolet light waves; the first direction A and the second direction B are arranged at an angle.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the angle between the first direction A and the second direction B can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the first direction A and the second direction B are arranged perpendicularly. The first direction A can be perpendicular to the grid lines of the battery cell or parallel to the grid lines of the battery cell. For example, the first direction A is parallel to the grid lines of the battery cell, and the second direction B is perpendicular to the grid lines of the battery cell. In this arrangement, the solder strip is exposed to more uniform light, making it easier to connect.

[0061] In the disclosed embodiment, the first light-emitting element 211a can be a UV lamp bead, such as a plug-in type lamp bead or a surface mount type lamp bead. Compared to UV lamp tubes, UV lamp bead consumes less energy and is more energy-efficient. Furthermore, the UV lamp bead is spaced apart for easier heat dissipation. For example, the first light-emitting element 211a is a UV light-emitting diode (LED).

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spacing between two adjacent first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting assembly 21a can be set uniformly or non-uniformly. The first light-emitting elements 211a can be set with reference to the grid line spacing of the battery cell so that the first light-emitting elements 211a can be set corresponding to the welding strip.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, all the first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting component 21a can be distributed at intervals along the second direction B, or, the first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting component 21a form a plurality of first light-emitting element 211a groups, and the plurality of first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting element 211a group are distributed at intervals along the second direction B, and the plurality of first light-emitting element 211a groups are distributed at intervals along the first direction A.

[0064] In the irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first light-emitting component 21a includes at least two first light-emitting elements 211a configured to generate ultraviolet light waves. At least two first light-emitting elements 211a in the first light-emitting component 21a are spaced apart along the second direction B. The ultraviolet light waves generated by different first light-emitting elements 211a are integrated with each other, which can improve the uniformity of the ultraviolet light waves. In addition, the spaced apart first light-emitting elements 211a require less energy than the first light-emitting component 21a with an overall light-emitting arrangement, which helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0065] In order to improve the uniformity of infrared light waves and reduce energy consumption, referring to Figure 3, in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, at least two light-emitting components 21 also include a second light-emitting component 21b, the second light-emitting component 21b includes a second light-emitting element 211b, and the second light-emitting element 211b is configured to generate infrared light waves; wherein, the second light-emitting component 21b includes at least two second light-emitting elements 211b, and at least two second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting component 21b are spaced apart along the second direction B.

[0066] In the disclosed embodiment, the second light-emitting element 211b may be an infrared lamp bead, such as a plug-in type lamp bead or a surface-mount type lamp bead. Compared to infrared lamp tubes, infrared lamp beads have lower energy consumption and are more energy-efficient. Furthermore, the infrared lamp beads are spaced apart to facilitate heat dissipation. For example, the second light-emitting element 211b is an infrared LED.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spacing between two adjacent second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting assembly 21b can be set uniformly or non-uniformly. The second light-emitting elements 211b can be set with reference to the grid line spacing of the battery cell so that the second light-emitting elements 211b can be set corresponding to the welding strip.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, all the second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting component 21b can be distributed at intervals along the second direction B, or, the second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting component 21b form a plurality of second light-emitting element groups, and the plurality of second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting element group are distributed at intervals along the second direction B, and the plurality of second light-emitting element groups are distributed at intervals along the first direction A.

[0069] In addition, referring to Figure 2, the second light-emitting element 211b can also be extended along the second direction B to both ends of the first light-emitting component 21a. The second light-emitting component 21b adopts an overall light-emitting setting, that is, the second light-emitting element 211b adopts an infrared lamp tube, and the lamp tube extends along the second direction B. The structure of the lamp tube is simpler, which is conducive to reducing costs.

[0070] In the irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second light-emitting component 21b includes a second light-emitting element 211b configured to generate infrared light waves. The second light-emitting element 211b can extend along the second direction B to both ends of the first light-emitting component 21a, with a simple structure and low cost; or, at least two second light-emitting elements 211b in the second light-emitting component 21b are spaced apart along the second direction B, and the infrared light waves generated by different second light-emitting elements 211b are integrated with each other, thereby improving the uniformity of the infrared light waves. In addition, the spaced apart second light-emitting elements 211b require less energy than the second light-emitting component 21b with an overall light-emitting arrangement, which helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0071] In order to improve processing efficiency, referring to Figures 2 and 3, in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple first light-emitting components 21a and multiple second light-emitting components 21b, and the multiple first light-emitting components 21a and the multiple second light-emitting components 21b are alternately distributed along the first direction A.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, alternating distribution means that the first light-emitting components 21a and the second light-emitting components 21b are cyclically arranged in sequence along the first direction A. The first light-emitting components 21a use ultraviolet lamp beads, and the second light-emitting components 21b can use infrared lamp beads or infrared lamp tubes, or, alternatively, some of the second light-emitting components 21b are infrared lamp beads, and the other part of the second light-emitting components 21b are infrared lamp tubes.

[0073] The irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with multiple first light-emitting components 21a and multiple second light-emitting components 21b, which can emit multiple ultraviolet light waves and infrared light waves, thereby improving processing efficiency. The alternating distribution of the first light-emitting components 21a and the second light-emitting components 21b is more uniform, so as to facilitate the simultaneous processing of ultraviolet light waves and infrared light waves.

[0074] To facilitate heat dissipation, referring to Figure 4, in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, there is a first vertical distance x between the first light-emitting component 21a and the base 1, and a second vertical distance y between the second light-emitting component 21b and the base 1, and the first vertical distance x is less than or equal to the second vertical distance y.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first vertical distance x refers to the distance between the first light-emitting component 211a in the first light-emitting assembly 21a and the structural surface 11 along the direction perpendicular to the structural surface 11; correspondingly, the second vertical distance y refers to the distance between the second light-emitting component 211b in the second light-emitting assembly 21b and the structural surface 11 along the direction perpendicular to the structural surface 11, wherein the structural surface 11 is a plane.

[0076] In the irradiation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first vertical distance x is smaller than the second vertical distance y, that is, the second light-emitting component 21b is closer to the component to be connected than the first light-emitting component 21a, so that the infrared light waves emitted by it can reach the component to be connected, and when the first vertical distance x and the second vertical distance y are different, the arrangement of the first light-emitting component 21a and the second light-emitting component 21b is more dispersed, which is conducive to heat dissipation.
