Solution Overview
Problem
Existing curing oven devices for solar battery panels have low thermal efficiency and require a long time for the curing process due to ineffective thermal propagation and the need to maintain the solar battery assembly at a distance from the heater.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a multistage stocker type curing oven device is used to heat lamination materials through radiation from an internal heater and thermal propagation of heated air, then it is possible to subject a plurality of solar battery assemblies to the curing process simultaneously, but the curing process requires a long time and has low thermal efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
A heat storage body is introduced as an intermediary between the heat source and the lamination materials. The heat storage body stores thermal energy and releases it directly to the lamination materials through conduction and radiation, enabling rapid heating without requiring prolonged exposure to ambient heated air, thus reducing curing time while maintaining batch processing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The heating function is extracted from the ambient air heating mechanism and concentrated into a dedicated heat storage body. This allows the curing process to rely on direct thermal contact and radiation from the heat storage body rather than indirect heating through air circulation, significantly improving thermal efficiency and reducing processing time
2Stability of the object's composition
If the solar battery assembly is kept at a certain distance from the heater to ensure uniform heating, then uniform temperature distribution is achieved, but thermal efficiency is reduced due to increased thermal energy loss
Solution Approach 1:
The heat storage body is designed with a surface that directly contacts or closely approaches the lamination materials, creating a localized high-density heat transfer zone. This ensures uniform temperature distribution across the material surface through direct thermal contact while minimizing overall distance and thermal energy loss in the system
Solution Approach 2:
The heating approach transitions from volumetric air heating to surface-level direct heating. The heat storage body's surface acts as a thermal interface that transfers heat directly to the lamination material surface, achieving uniform heating through controlled surface contact while reducing the thermal path length and energy loss
