1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a concentrator type solar cell module, and in particular to a manufacturing process for silicone glass concentrator lens.
2. The Prior Arts
Presently, among the energy regeneration systems, the high concentrated photovoltaic (HCPV) electricity generation system has excellent potential for further development, due to its various advantages of material saving, reduced cost and high efficiency in generating electricity. As such, it is generally considered as ideal to be used in building solar energy power plant, thus it has a promising future in the solar energy industry.
Refer to
In order to produce a high-temperature and sever-weather resistant concentrator lens 10, a glass carrier plate 11 made of glass material is utilized, and a silicone lens 12 is disposed underneath the glass carrier plate 11. Refer to
In view of the problems and shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a manufacturing process of silicone glass concentrator lens, so as to solve the afore-mentioned problems of the prior art.
A major objective of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing process of silicone glass concentrator lens, wherein, the mold utilized is designed to have a material inlet hole and an air outlet hole, and the mold and glass carrier plate are disposed vertically to each other, such that when liquid silicone is poured into a mold, the excessive air will be exited automatically. As such, not only the occurrences of bubbles are reduced, the overflow of liquid silicone is prevented, but the manufacturing efficiency is also raised, and the production cost can be reduced, hereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides a manufacturing process of silicone glass concentrator lens, wherein, the mold utilized is provided with a material inlet hole and an air outlet hole, the mold is made to contact with the glass carrier plate to form a mold cavity space, and the mold and glass carrier plate are disposed in a vertical arrangement; then, the liquid silicone is poured into the mold through the material inlet hole, so as to make the liquid silicone fill up the mold cavity space, such that the excessive air will be exited through the air outlet hole, thus air bubble and silicone overflow will not occur; finally, waiting for the liquid silicone to dry up into mold, and then taking off the mold, thus realizing the bubble-free silicone glass concentrator lens.
Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The related drawings in connection with the detailed description of the present invention to be made later are described briefly as follows, in which:
The purpose, construction, features, functions and advantages of the present invention can be appreciated and understood more thoroughly through the following detailed description with reference to the attached drawings.
Refer to
Then, as shown in
Subsequently, as shown in
Finally, as shown in
Through the application of the manufacturing process of silicone glass concentrator lens of the present invention, wherein, the mold is provided with a material inlet hole and an air outlet hole, and the mold and glass carrier plate are disposed in a vertical juxtaposition configuration for pouring in liquid silicone, such that after pouring in liquid silicone, excessive air can be exited from the mold through the air outlet hole automatically, thus, there is no need to add additional tools or to evacuate the air from the mold in advance. Also, in this way, air bubbles are not liable to occur after curing of the liquid silicone, and overflow of liquid silicone will not occur in the manufacturing process. As such, there is no need to remove the overflowed silicone, thus this will not damage the outer appearance of the silicone glass concentrator lens. Therefore, through the application of the present invention, the quality of the product and manufacturing efficiency can be raised effectively, while reducing the production cost.
The above detailed description of the preferred embodiment is intended to describe more clearly the characteristics and spirit of the present invention. However, the preferred embodiments disclosed above are not intended to be any restrictions to the scope of the present invention. Conversely, its purpose is to include the various changes and equivalent arrangements which are within the scope of the appended claims.
