IBC solar cell string light welding device and welding method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cell production equipment, and particularly relates to an IBC solar cell string light welding device and a welding method thereof.
Background
The IBC cell (full back electrode contact crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell) is a technology that metal contacts of a positive pole and a negative pole are moved to the back of a cell piece, so that the front of the cell piece facing the sun is in full black, and metal wires on the front of most photovoltaic cells cannot be seen completely. The power generation device not only brings more effective power generation area for users, but also is beneficial to improving the power generation efficiency, and is more attractive in appearance. The IBC battery is mainly characterized in that a PN junction and metal contact are both arranged on the back surface of the battery, and the front surface of the IBC battery is not influenced by shielding of a metal electrode, so that the IBC battery has higher short-circuit current Jsc, and meanwhile, wider metal grid lines can be allowed on the back surface to reduce series resistance Rs so as to improve a filling factor FF; the addition of the Front Surface Field (FSF) and the open circuit voltage gain from the good passivation results in a high conversion efficiency for such a Front side unobstructed cell. Because the metal wire all is in the back of battery piece, the in-process of stringer puts forward higher requirement to the placing of metal wire is fixed, compares in the position that a slice of battery piece comes fixed metal wire behind the conventional stringer, and the IBC battery can't accomplish this point, needs to use the pressure net anchor clamps to cover fixedly.

The welding method of the IBC solar cell string light welding device comprises the following specific steps:
step one, placing a box body filled with the battery piece into a material tray. The feeding robot grabs the battery pieces one by one from the tray and places the battery pieces on the battery conveyor 6.
And step two, the battery conveyors 6 convey the battery pieces, and when one battery piece reaches the position below the solder strip transfer device 3, the corresponding battery conveyor 6 stops conveying. The jig conveyor 7 conveys a press-positioning jig 8 as a working press-positioning jig to the lower side of the solder ribbon transfer apparatus 3.
Meanwhile, four first mechanical clamping jaws 2-4 in the welding strip feeding device 2 respectively clamp the end parts of four welding strips; the material pulling sliding table 2-3 and the clamping and cutting sliding table 2-6 reversely slide, so that the length of the welding strip between the first mechanical clamping jaw 2-4 and the cutter in the cutting assembly 2-7 reaches a preset value. The four second mechanical clamping jaws 2-8 respectively clamp the corresponding solder strips. The cutting assembly 2-7 cuts off the four solder strips. The ends of the four welding strips, which are far away from the first mechanical clamping jaws 2-4, are positioned right below the working pressing positioning fixture.
And step three, the welding strip clamp synchronous grabbing mechanism in the welding strip transfer device 3 moves right above the four welding strips, and the first lifting mechanism drives the welding strip clamp synchronous grabbing mechanism to move downwards, so that the first hook claws 3-6-1 on the two single-side clamping jaws 3-6 respectively reach two ends of the working pressing and positioning clamp. The two unilateral clamping jaws 3-6 respectively hook two ends of the working pressing positioning fixture; then, the two single-side pushing pieces 3-11 are pushed out, so that the connecting frame 8-2 in the working pressing positioning fixture is lifted upwards.
Pushing out by the first downward pushing cylinder 3-7 and the second downward pushing cylinder 3-9; after each vertical adsorption plate 3-8-2 on the interpenetration adsorption block 3-8 penetrates through the gap between each pressing wire 8-3 on the working pressing positioning fixture, each first adsorption groove 3-8-3 at the bottom of each vertical adsorption plate 3-8-2 is in contact with the corresponding welding strip respectively. And the second adsorption grooves at the bottoms of the horizontal adsorption plates 3-10 are respectively contacted with the corresponding welding strips.

The two single-side pushing and pressing pieces 3-11 retract, so that the connecting frame 8-2 in the working pressing and positioning clamp moves downwards; the pressing wire 8-3 on the working pressing positioning fixture presses one end of the four welding strips, so that the welding strips are guaranteed not to move in the conveying process.
The part of the welding strip which is not pressed by the working pressing and positioning clamp is pressed in the next conveying process of the welding strip and the pressing and positioning clamp 8. Carrying the welding strips and the pressing positioning clamp 8 twice; the positions of the four welding strips in the previous conveying are staggered with those of the four welding strips in the next conveying; a battery string as shown in fig. 1 is formed. One battery string includes six or twelve battery cells. Four welding strips only covering one battery piece are arranged on the battery piece at the head end and the battery piece at the tail end; the eight welding strips only covering one battery piece are also conveyed by the welding strip transfer device 3; when four short solder strips of the length of the battery piece at the head end are placed, the solder strip transfer device 3 is not carried at the same time to press the positioning clamp 8.
Seventhly, the battery pieces with the welding strips placed pass through the position right below the light welding device 4 under the conveying of the battery conveyor 6; a heating lamp tube in the preheating unit 4-3 is electrified to emit light, and the battery piece and the welding strip are preheated; and the heating lamp tube in the optical welding unit 4-4 is electrified to emit light, and the battery plate and the welding strip are welded.
And step eight, when the pressing and positioning clamp 8 on the battery conveyor 6 reaches the position below the clamp backflow device 5, a clamp grabbing mechanism in the clamp backflow device 5 clamps the pressing and positioning clamp 8 pressed on the battery piece, carries the battery piece to the input end of the clamp conveyor 7, and waits for the next time to be carried to the battery conveyor 6 by the solder strip transfer device 3.
The battery conveyor 6 can continuously output the IBC battery strings by repeating the cycle.
