The principles and features of this invention are described below in conjunction with the following drawings, which are set forth by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Example one
The embodiment provides a front electrode of a heterojunction battery, which comprises a plurality of main grid lines 1 and a plurality of auxiliary grid lines 2 which are arranged in parallel and printed on the surface of a battery (not shown in the figure), wherein the main grid lines 1 and the auxiliary grid lines 2 are made of low-temperature silver paste, the main grid lines 1 and the auxiliary grid lines 2 are printed on the surface of a solar battery in a screen printing mode and used as electrodes of the battery, the main grid lines 1 are used for being welded with a conductive connecting line 3, the main grid lines are generally lines with the width of 0.5mm-1.5mm, the auxiliary grid lines 2 are also arranged on the surface of the solar battery and are intersected with the main grid lines 1, and the auxiliary grid lines 2 are generally lines with the width of 30um-80 um.

The conductive connecting wire 3 of the embodiment is specifically a tin-coated copper strip, the tin-coated copper strip is formed by coating a layer of tin-lead or other alloys on the surface of the copper strip, and electrodes of the solar cells are interconnected through welding. In actual production, in order to avoid welding offset caused by positioning deviation during welding, the width of the conductive connecting line 3 is usually slightly wider than that of the main grid line 1, the lower surface of the conductive connecting line 3 is welded with the upper surface of the main grid line 1, each main grid line and a plurality of auxiliary grid lines intersecting with the main grid line form a connecting area with the same size as the lower surface of the conductive connecting line 3, each auxiliary grid line 2 comprises a first section 201 located in the connecting area and a second section 202 located outside the connecting area, and the thickness of the first section 201 is smaller than or equal to that of the main grid line 1.
Specifically, there are various structural forms for making the thickness of the first segment 201 less than or equal to the thickness of the bus bar 1.
The first structural form is as follows: during printing, the width of the first segment 201 is designed to be larger than that of the second segment 202, and the thickness of the first segment 201 is smaller than or equal to that of the second segment 202, so that the connection stability of the main gate line 1 and the conductive connecting line 3 is ensured, and the conductive performance of the sub-gate line 2 can also be ensured.
Preferably, the first section 201 of the structure is formed by attaching two printed lines arranged on the surface of the battery side by side, and the second section 202 is formed by overlapping the two printed lines from bottom to top, so that the areas of the cross sections of the auxiliary grid lines 2 at any positions along the length direction of the auxiliary grid lines are the same, and stable conductivity is ensured. As shown in fig. 4, of course, in order to facilitate the installation of the conductive connection line 3, the first segment 201 of the finger of the present embodiment may be expanded toward the second segment 202, that is, the width of the connection region formed by the first segments 201 of the finger 2 and the main finger 1 is larger than the width of the conductive connection line 3.
The second form is: the thickness of the main grid line 1 is designed to be larger than or equal to that of the auxiliary grid line 2, the specific implementation mode is that each main grid line 1 is designed to be a structure formed by sequentially overlapping two layers of printing lines from bottom to top, in order to ensure the conductivity of the auxiliary grid line 2, the auxiliary grid line 2 is also designed to be a structure (not shown in the figure) formed by sequentially overlapping two layers of printing lines from bottom to top, and the thicknesses of each layer of main grid line 1 and each layer of auxiliary grid line 2 are preferably the same printing thickness. Of course, the amount of material used for the bus bar 1 is significantly greater than in the first configuration described above.
On the basis of the two schemes, the welding tension between the main grid line 1 and the conductive connecting line 3 can be improved by improving the structure of the main grid line 1, as shown in fig. 5, the main grid line 1 can be designed into a plurality of first printing lines 101 and a plurality of second printing lines 102 which are arranged in parallel, the first printing lines 101 and the second printing lines 102 are perpendicular to each other, when in specific printing, the main grid line area with the primary printing pattern on the front side is designed into a plurality of straight lines which are parallel to the direction of the auxiliary grid line 2, the main grid line area with the secondary printing pattern on the front side is designed into a plurality of straight lines which are perpendicular to the direction of the auxiliary grid line, and the primary printing pattern and the secondary printing pattern are overlapped to form a grid line structure.
Example two
The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a front electrode of a heterojunction battery based on the first embodiment, including the following steps:

Specifically, there are various manufacturing methods for making the thickness of the first segment 201 less than or equal to the thickness of the bus bar 1:
for example, the manufacturing manner of the finger 2 may be improved, and the finger printing of this embodiment includes the following steps:
printing a first layer of secondary grid lines, namely printing a plurality of mutually parallel first layer of secondary grid lines on the surface of the battery;

and printing a second layer of secondary grid lines, and printing the second layer of secondary grid lines on the upper surface of the second section on each first layer of secondary grid line.
According to the method, the first section 201 is formed by attaching two printing lines arranged on the surface of the battery side by side, the second section 202 is formed by overlapping the two printing lines from bottom to top, the structure ensures that the areas of any cross sections of the secondary grid lines 2 are the same, stable conductive performance is ensured, and overlarge gaps between the conductive connecting lines and the main grid line electrodes are avoided, so that the tensile force between the conductive connecting lines and the main grid lines is improved, and the connection reliability of the conductive connecting lines and the main grid lines is ensured.
For example, the manufacturing method of the main gate line 1 may be improved, and another layer of main gate line is printed on the upper surface of the printed main gate line, so that the thickness of the main gate line 1 is not less than that of the auxiliary gate line 2. In order to ensure the conductivity of the secondary grid line 2, the secondary grid line 2 is also designed to be a structure formed by sequentially overlapping two layers of printing lines from bottom to top, and the thickness of each layer of the main grid line 1 and the secondary grid line 2 is preferably the same printing thickness. Of course, the amount of the material used for the main grid line 1 is significantly larger than that in the above-mentioned manufacturing method.
