System and method for carrying out automated quantitative management on glass substrates

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a related method for carrying out automated quantitative management on glass substrates in thin-film solar cell manufacturing equipment. The system comprises a glass substrate carrying device, a photoelectric sensor and a control device, wherein the photoelectric sensor is arranged at the glass substrate carrying device, and used for detecting whether reflected lights exist on the side walls of the glass substrates; and the control device is respectively in signal connection with the glass substrate carrying device and the photoelectric sensor, and used for controlling the action of the glass substrate carrying device, and carrying out quantitative management on the glass substrates according to the situation that the photoelectric sensor detects whether the reflected lights exist on the side walls of glass substrates. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out automated quantitative management on glass substrates. By using the systemand method provided by the invention, the automated management function and operating efficiency of the production equipment are effectively improved, the failure rate of human errors is reduced, themechanical wear is reduced, the service time of the equipment is prolonged, the production cost is reduced, and the market competitiveness of the production equipment is enhanced, therefore, the system and method provided by the invention are wide in application scope.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic control and management of equipment, in particular to the technical field of automatic control and management of solar thin film battery manufacturing equipment, and specifically refers to an automatic quantitative management system for glass substrates in solar thin film battery manufacturing equipment and related methods. Background technique [0002] See figure 1 as shown, figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of solar thin-film cell manufacturing equipment, which has three processing chambers 101. Of course, more or fewer processing chambers 101 can be set according to the situation. The glass substrate box 102 usually contains 20 glass substrates. The manipulator 103 is used to take Put the glass substrate. Wherein, the glass substrate cassette 102 can be transported to the manufacturing equipment via a conveyor belt or a transmission system, and the manipulator 103 usually stores all the glass substr...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Since these glass substrates have not been automatically quantitatively managed, in the above-mentioned process, the manipulator 103 will perform grabbing actions at various positions in the glass substrate box 102 every time it grabs, until a glass substrate is grabbed, which will A lot of futile work is caused, not only the mechanical wear is severe, the equipment life is short, the production cost is high, and the work efficiency is also reduced
