Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a classification system, and more particularly to a solar battery knife system comprising a plurality of solar battery transmission systems, at least one first pick and place device, A plurality of second pick and place devices and a plurality of multi-layer receiving devices. The present invention also has the ability to augment the capacity of the sorting system by adding the transport system, the second pick and place device, and the multi-layer receiving device, thereby increasing the flexibility and throughput of the sorting system while maintaining a low space requirement. [Prior Art] Shi Xijing solar cell manufacturing, like any other semiconductor manufacturing industry, is constantly facing the challenge of balancing production and quality improvement when ensuring cost-effective manufacturing line systems. The main reason for the low production or downtime problem is the efficiency of conversion, which is due to the fact that the conversion of different products and the relocation of equipment waste more time. Therefore, there is a constant need to improve manufacturing costs. In today's crystalline solar cell production lines, solar cells undergoing a series of processes will be tested and classified according to quality. 7 As the complexity of the process and product classification increases, it is necessary to provide manufacturers with the ability to increase their production lines. It’s also a way to protect their capital without having to abandon their equipment. In addition to simply requiring a flexible increase in the amount of force, t obtains a higher solar cell capacity and a higher yield. The manufacturer also requires a minimum footprint or space. 201203435 In the past, some types of solar cell sorting devices have been invented, in which solar cells are sorted and transmitted through transducers to different housings. However, this will cause the solar cells to rub against each other when they fall into the accommodating cylinder, which may cause scratches in the battery. Another disadvantage is the limitation of the number of categories or pockets allowed in a given space. If more categories are needed, more housings are needed, which requires more floor space. Other types of solar cell devices can be classified at high speeds, but these devices are very complicated and expensive. Among them, for solar cell manufacturers, in order to maintain and increase manufacturing economy, overcoming all of the above problems has become an essential goal. It would be extremely beneficial to improve the above shortcomings through a sorting system, in particular a solar cell sorting system comprising a plurality of solar cell transmission systems, a plurality of pick and place devices and a plurality of multi-layer receiving devices. It also has the ability to easily expand the capacity of the sorting system by adding the transport system, the pick and place device, and the multi-layer receiving device, thereby increasing the flexibility and throughput of the sorting system and maintaining a small footprint. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a solar cell sorting system having improved yield. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cost effective solar cell sorting system. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a solar cell sorting system that 201203435 can improve solar cell sorting capability without obsolating the basic system. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a solar cell sorting system capable of performing more solar cell sorting with a minimum of space. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a solar cell sorting system which can reduce the event of scratching a solar cell. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a solar cell sorting system comprising: at least one first pick and place device of a plurality of solar cell transmission systems; a plurality of second pick and place devices; any of which can be used to control the solar cell sorting system Operational processing means; any user interface that can be used and is convenient for the user to control the settings on the solar cell sorting system; characterized in that: the solar cell sorting system further comprises a plurality of multi-layer receiving means. The present invention also provides a solar cell sorting method comprising the steps of: (i) transmitting the solar cell to the solar cell sorting system using an input transmitter; (ii) at least one first pick and place device to the solar cell From the input transmission 201203435 to capture a plurality of output transmitters; set two SI::::::--the second grabbing layer capacity ==== (four) pool is facing the multi (v) 5t second catch The horizontal placement device of the discharge device transmits the solar battery to the small receiving box in the multi-layer receiving I; (V1) the horizontal placement device places the solar battery into the small receiving box (5) the second pick and place device Repeat steps (iv) through (Vi) until a certain number of the solar cells are placed in the multi-layer receiving device. [Embodiment] In order to enable the review, the purpose, characteristics, and sister of the present creation can be further improved. Understanding and understanding, the following conversions [simplified description of the drawings] are as follows: First, referring to FIG. 1A, which is a perspective view of the solar cell classification system 100 of the present invention, the solar cell classification system 1〇〇 includes plural The solar cell transmission system 107, 109, 111, 113, at least the first-stage pick-and-place device 105, the plurality of second pick-and-place devices 101, and the plurality of multi-layered receiving units 1〇3. The solar energy battery classification system 100 Further included are any processing means available and any user interface system 501 that can be used. The plurality of transmission systems 107, 1 〇 9, 111, m include 201203435 an input transmitter 111, Fuku & The 仏 mountain broadcasts an output transmitter 107, 113 and an additional output transmitter 109. The flute, the pick and place device 105 can be any device that can be used for rotating or linear picking and placing. The whistle __ device. The pick and place device HH can Any linear picking and dropping of β〆 is usually placed at the beginning of the sorting line to transfer the battery from the detection line to the sorting line. The input transmitter (1) will be 'dead in the knife station' where The first pick-and-place device 1 〇5 transmits the first input transmitter 111 m yang battery to a plurality of output transmitters 107, 113 °. The additional output transmitter (10) is arranged so that the solar battery does not need any pick and place Loading That is, it can be directly transmitted from the input transmitter (1) to the additional output device 1G9. Since the additional output_qing extends from the end end of the input transmitter 111 and is parallel to the output transmitter 1〇7, 113 This is achievable. The first pick and place device 105 is typically placed between the input conveyor ι and the output traversers K) 7, U3. As mentioned before, the _ pick and place device 105 can be any that can be used for a rotary or linear pick-and-place device. If it is a 疋 疋 抓 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , The number of pick and place arms 117 is difficult to four to ensure that the direction of the solar cell at the output wheel is from 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 27 degrees from the direction of the solar cells located in the input transmitter. If it is a linear pick and place device, it includes a "linear actuation mechanism" and two pick and place arms. For the first position, the first grab arm will be at the top of the first 8 201203435 output conveyor and the second pick arm will be at the bottom of the wheeled conveyor. In the second position 'the first grab arm will be at the top of the input conveyor and the second pick arm will be at the top of the third conveyor. After the second position, the linear pick and place device will _ the first position. In the process of moving between these positions, in order to increase the speed, the pick and place action is simultaneously performed.曰 The output transmitters 1〇, 113 and the additional output transmitter are typically arranged parallel to each other and at the same height. The position of the output wheeler, 113 is such that the pick-and-place arm (1) of the first pick-and-place device 1G5 can grab the solar cell by the input transmitter m and place it on any of the output transmitters 107, 113. At the office. / Please use Figure 2 in conjunction with the flB diagram, which is a three-dimensional diagram of the solar cell classification system 100, which describes the flow of the input material. Each of the catching arms 117 of the first pick-up device 1〇5 simultaneously performs a grab or placement of a solar battery operation. For the first position of the first pick-and-place device 1G5, the first arm 131 is located at the top of the wheel-in conveyor (1), and the second arm m is located at the top of the first-output conveyor. The third arm i33 is located at the top of the additional output conveyor tear and the fourth f 134 is located at the top of the second output conveyor 113. The first arm 131 is pulled by the input transmitter m. Then, the rotation actuating mechanism Up is rotated such that the #131 is located at the top of the first output conveyor 1〇7, and when the second arm 132 is located at the top of the additional output transmitter, the third arm (3) is located The top of the first output transmitter 113 and the fourth arm W are located at the top of the 201203435 input transmitter 111. In this position, when the first arm 131 can select whether to place the solar cell to the first output transmitter 107, the fourth arm 134 grabs the solar cell. During the rotation process, the repetitive motion is continuously repeated, so that the pick and place motion can be performed simultaneously to save time. Referring to Fig. 3, which is a perspective view of the solar cell sorting operation, the solar cell is classified into the multi-layer receiving device 103. When the solar cells are sorted through their first pick and place device 105 to their designated output transmitters 107, 113, the solar cells will be transmitted by their corresponding output transmitters 107, 113 to their corresponding sorting stations, which There is a second pick and place device 101 and a multi-layer receiving device 103. The second pick and place device 101 is placed such that the corresponding output conveyors 107, 113 are located between the second pick and place device 101 and the multi-layer receiving device 103. The second pick and place device 101 includes a lift system 121 having at least one vertical movement gripping arm 123 and a horizontal movement placement device 125. The number of the second pick-and-place devices 101 corresponds to the number of multi-layer receiving devices 103. The multi-layer receiving device 103 comprises a container comprising a plurality of trays supporting a plurality of small receiving boxes 115, wherein the side facing the second pick-and-place device 101 is exposed. Moreover, the multi-layer receiving device 103 is positioned such that the pick-and-place arm of the second pick-and-place device 101 can be inserted into the opening of the small receiving case 115 for placing the solar cell. The number of v-receiving cartridges 115 located within a multi-layer receiving device 103 can be adjusted according to different needs. Different needs in this context may refer to the capacity pair category, where more than one 201203435 layer containing device 103 has more categories, the smaller the capacity of each small receiving box 115 will be. If fewer trays are used in the container, the higher the small container 115 will be. The pick-and-place arm 117 used in the first and second pick and place devices 105, 101 can be any conventional vacuum gripper, such as a hard-working gripper. It is possible to increase the throughput by performing parallel sorting through the plurality of output conveyors 107, 113, the second pick-and-place device 101, and the multi-layer accommodating device 103.
