As shown in Fig. 2B, a bottom plate 26 is provided in the annealing chamber 21. The CIGS thin film solar cell 1 is placed on the bottom plate %. A heater 70 includes a plurality of heating tubes 71 and heats the (10) thin film solar cells 10 via a graphite plate 6 . The heat is not only a schematic diagram of the transfer device of the battery annealing device. As shown in Fig. 3, the thin film solar cell read-out device is disposed on the bottom plate 26 of the annealing chambers 21 to 25 for transferring (10) solar cells (the solar cells). The transfer device of the annealing device is at least - the roller 41, ^ = 201207947 42 and at least one abutment bar 43. The roller 41 is disposed on the bottom plate 26 of each of the annealing chambers 21 to 25. Preferably, most of the rollers 41 are disposed on the back side of the bottom plate 26, and are exposed to a small portion which protrudes from the bottom plate 26' to make the glass of the CIGS thin film solar cell The back surface of the substrate 11 is movable on the roller 41 without coming into contact with the bottom plate 26. In the conventional example of Fig. 3, two cylindrical push rods 42 are used, which are located in the left and right halves of the bottom plate 26, respectively, and do not protrude substantially from the bottom plate %. The abutment lever 43 is provided to the push lever 42. In the stationary state (not shown) of the conveyor 40, the abutment rod 43 is located in the recess 27 and is in a state of not protruding from the bottom plate 26. In the transport state of the transport unit 40, as shown in Fig. 3, the push lever 42 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined angle, for example, 9 degrees, so that the abutment lever 43 protrudes from the bottom plate 26. As the push rod 42 moves toward the next annealing chamber, the glass substrate U of the CIGS thin film solar cell 10 will abut against the abutment rod 43 and move with the push rod 42 on the roller 41. When both the push rod 42 and the glass substrate 11 are moved to the next annealing chamber, the push rod 42 is rotated clockwise (not shown), so that the abutment rod 43 is in the other recess 27' again back to the bottom plate. In the state of 26, after the push rod 42 is retracted to the current annealing chamber, the transfer operation of the CIGS thin film solar cell 10 between the annealing chambers 21 to 25 is completed. However, the CIGS thin film solar cell 10a' formed by the conventional annealing device 20 reduces the quality and yield of the CIGS thin film solar cell 10a due to uneven heating. Therefore, the conventional annealing device 2 has a space for improvement in the step 201207947.

In one embodiment, the first extending portion of the second conveying plate covers the opening of the first conveying plate and the first hook portion of the second conveying plate inserted therein and the second fishing portion of the first conveying plate, so that the conveying The surface of the strip is substantially flat so that the CIGS thin film solar cell can be more evenly heated when transported over the conveyor belt. Therefore, according to the invention - the solar cell annealing device can improve the phenomenon of uneven heating and reduce the generation of spots, and the quality and yield of the battery can be as high as possible. Other objects and gaze of the present invention can be understood from the technical features disclosed in the present invention. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention are lacking. The following is a detailed description of the present invention. [Embodiment] Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing a thin film solar cell annealing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The thin film solar cell annealing device 1GG shown in FIG. 4 is used for annealing a CIGS thin film solar cell, which comprises at least one annealing to 21, a building device 26, a heater 13A, and a conveying device. 12〇. In one embodiment, it may further comprise a graphite plate MG. In the present embodiment, the thin film solar cell annealing apparatus 1 is provided with five annealing chambers 21 to 25 (refer to Fig. 2A). The following is an annealing chamber? ! As an illustration, the remaining annealing chambers 201207947 22 to 25 are the same as the annealing chamber 21, and thus the related description will be omitted. The supporting device 26 is disposed in the annealing chamber 21 and supports the weight of the ciGS thin film solar cell 10. In this embodiment, it may be a bottom plate 260, and in one embodiment, it may be arranged in a first direction. It consists of a rotating shaft (not shown). The transfer device 120 is disposed in the annealing chamber 21 for transferring the CIGS thin film solar cell 1 from the inlet 35 into the annealing chamber 21 or out of the annealing chamber 21. The conveyor 12A includes a transmission and a transmission belt 122. The transfer belt 122 is located between the bottom plate 260 and the CIGS thin film solar battery 10, and the bottom plate 260 is used to support the conveyor belt 122, thereby being able to support the weight of the CIGS thin film solar cell 1 on the conveyor belt 122. The transmission is adapted to drive the conveyor belt 122 such that the thin film solar cells 1 on the conveyor belt 122 are moved relative to the heaters 130 in the annealing chamber 21, which in one embodiment may be a plurality of transmission shafts 121. The belt 122 is disposed in a ring shape and has a long axis extending in a first direction. Each of the drive shafts 121 is disposed in the same direction as the inner side of the conveyor belt 122, for example, rotating in a counterclockwise direction, and Φ is used to drive the conveyor belt 122 to rotate. In the embodiment, the transmission device is provided with two transmission shafts 121, and is respectively disposed at two ends of the inner ring side of the conveyor belt I22. The bottom plate 260 is disposed between the transmissions #121 to support the conveyor belt 122, thereby supporting Placed on it _ film solar cell 1G. In the embodiment, the intermediate portion of the inner side of the wheeled belt 122 may also be provided with at least one transmission shaft 121', and the branch unit 26 includes a plurality of bottom plates 26, and the bottom plates are divided into 201207947. Between two adjacent drive shafts 121 (not shown). The thin film solar cell 10 is placed on the conveyor belt 122, and the back surface of the film is transported by the camera to cause the thin film solar cell 10 to move along the first direction on the conveyor belt 122 as the conveyor belt 122 rotates, so that the inside of the annealing chamber 21 The thin film solar cell 10 moves relative to the heater 130. Preferably, the thin film solar cell 10 is continuously movable on the conveyor belt 122. The heater 130 includes a plurality of elongated heating tubes 131. The graphite plate 14〇#° is further between the heating device 130 and the conveying device 12〇. During the annealing process, since the heating tubes 131 of the heater 130 first heat the graphite plate 14〇, the graphite plate 14〇 can be pre-homogenized. The heat of the heating tube 131 forms a heat source for the surface, and then the heat of the CIGS thin film solar cell is 0. Therefore, the graphite plate (10) can further improve the phenomenon of 5: heat unevenness. In addition, 'the annealing chamber 21 0, containing the quinones' easily corrodes the heating tubes 131 of the heater no. Therefore, the heater no and the CIGS thin film solar cells are separated from the graphite plate 14 〇, and the heater can also be protected. 13 〇 role. Since the bismuth element has a rot, the conveyor belt 122 uses graphite which is resistant to mites. Figure 5A shows a side view of the transfer belt of the conveyor of the thin film solar cell annealing apparatus according to the present invention - a plan view of the support plate. Fig. 5B is a plan view showing a bonding plate of a conveying belt of a conveying apparatus of a thin film solar cell annealing apparatus according to the present invention. Figure sc shows a side view of a transfer of a thin film solar cell annealing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 201207947 As shown in Figs. 5A to 5C, the conveyor belt 122 includes a plurality of conveying plates which are connected to each other to constitute a conveyor belt 122. As shown in Fig. 5C, the conveyor belt 122 includes at least a first conveying plate 3a and a second conveying plate 30b. The first conveying plate 300a and the second conveying plate 300b are made of stone and ink, respectively. Since the structures of the first and second conveying plates 300a and 300b are similar, only the first conveying plate 300a will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. The conveying plate 3A includes a gusset 310a and a coupling plate 320a. As shown in FIG. 5C, the bonding plate 320a includes at least a first hook portion 321a and at least one second hook portion 322a respectively located at opposite ends of the bonding plate 320a and the first and second hook portions 32ia and 322a respectively form an arc shape. And respectively bent to the middle of the bonding plate 320a. The support plates 310a respectively include a body portion 311a, a first extension portion 312a and a first extension portion 313a. The first extension portion 312a and the second extension portion 313a are respectively located on opposite sides of the body portion 311a. The first extending portion 3i2a extends from the top surface of the main body portion 311a, and the bottom surface of the first extending portion 312a is higher than the bottom surface of the main portion 311a to form an accommodating space on the lower side of the first extending portion 312a. The first extending portion 313a extends from the bottom surface of the body portion 311a, respectively, and the top surface of the second extending portion 313a is lower than the top surface of the body portion 311a, and at least a portion of the top surface of the second extending portion 313a forms a platform. The first extension portion 312b of the second conveying plate 300b is disposed on the platform of the second extension portion 313a of the first conveying plate 3A. More specifically, the second extension portion 31 includes a flat portion 12 201207947 a table portion 314a and a connecting portion 315a. The connecting portion 315a defines at least one opening 316a. The first hook portion 321b of the coupling plate 320b of the second conveying plate 300b and the second hook portion 322a of the coupling plate 320a of the first conveying plate 300a pass through the opening 316a, respectively, and hook the inner wall surface defining the opening 316a. Two opposite sides. Preferably, the two opposite sides of the inner wall surface defining the opening 316a also form a curved surface, and the curved surfaces of the opposite sides of the inner wall surface are respectively associated with the first hook portion 321b and the second hook portion 322a. The curved surfaces cooperate to enable a smoother rotation within a predetermined range. Therefore, according to the above design, the traveling belt 122' composed of graphite can be rotated along the arc surface of the transmission shaft 121 provided at both ends of the inner ring of the conveyor belt 22. The extension portion 312b of the first conveying plate 300b is supported on the platform portion 3丨4a of the second extension portion 313a of the first conveying plate 300a, and the first extending portion 312b covers the opening 316a and the first inserted therein The hook portion 321b and the first hook portion 322a are such that the surface of the conveyor belt 122 is substantially flat. Preferably, when the first extending portion 312b is placed on the platform portion 31 of the second extending portion 313a, the top surface of the first extending portion 312b of the second conveying plate 300b and the body portion 311a of the first conveying plate 300a The top surface is roughly at the same level. Therefore, when the CIGS thin film solar cell 10 is transported on the conveyor belt 122, it can be heated more uniformly. The inventors conducted experiments to collect information on a plurality of CIGS thin film solar cell coffees after annealing using a thin film solar cell transfer device 40, and plotted the spots on 201207947 on the graph to know the shape and position of the spots. The inventors have summarized the reasons for the formation of spots as follows. Figure 6 shows a schematic of a CIGS thin film solar cell after annealing has been accomplished using a conventional annealing apparatus. As shown in Fig. 6, the CIGS thin film solar cell 10a after annealing is completed by a conventional transfer device 4Q, and the spots thereon are roughly divided into a dot spot 51 and a strip spot 52. Referring again to FIG. 3, generally, the material of the bottom plate 26 which is annealed is graphite, and the material of the roller 41 and the push rod 42 are not graphite, and are not formed integrally with the bottom plate 26, and these members may cause CIGS film. The solar cell i〇a is heated unevenly, so that the portion of the corresponding roller 41 of the CIGS thin film solar cell i〇a forms a dot-like spot 51, and the portion corresponding to the push rod 42 forms a strip-shaped spot 52. In contrast, the conveyor belt 122 according to an embodiment of the present invention, without the components 'CIGS thin film solar cells, can uniformly contact the conveyor belt 122, so the heater 130 can uniformly heat the CIGS thin film solar cells 1 ,, and reduce The production of these spots. According to the conventional annealing apparatus 2 of the thin film solar cell, the transfer device 4A includes a stationary state and a transport state, causing the CIGS thin film solar cell 1 to intermittently move in each annealing chamber of the annealing device 20. In the heating process of the thin film solar cell by the heater, the transfer device 4 is in a stationary state, and the CIGS thin film solar cell 10 is placed in the bottom plate 26 of the annealing chamber 21, because the heating tube 111 is elongated, and the CIGS thin film solar cell 1 The glass substrate u 201207947 of the crucible is in a planar shape, so that the portion of the glass substrate 11 near the heating tube ill is heated more, and the portion of the glass substrate u far from the heating tube η is less heated, causing uneven heating, thereby affecting The physical characteristics such as crystals and concentration of each metal in the CIGSe metal layer 16 are not uniform. Thus, the quality and yield of the CIGS thin film solar cell 10a are lowered. In contrast, in an embodiment of the present invention, since the conveyor belt 122 can continuously drive the glass substrate u of the CIGS thin film solar cell 10 to continuously move in the first direction, the surface of the CIGS thin film solar cell 1 is The ability to heat more uniformly can improve the phenomenon of uneven heating and improve the quality and yield of the cigs thin film solar cell. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the heater 130 heats the thin film solar cell 10, a relative movement between the thin film solar cell 1A and the heater 130 in the annealing chamber 21 is formed. With this unique and novel design, it is possible to improve the uneven heating of the thin film solar cell 10 which is generated when the heater 130 is used to heat the thin film solar cell. In an embodiment, the first hook portion 321b of the bonding plate 32〇b of the second conveying plate 3〇〇b and the second hook portion 322a of the bonding plate 32〇a of the first conveying plate 3〇〇a are Through the opening 316a, respectively, the opposite sides defining the opening 31 such as the inner wall surface are hooked, and the two can be relatively rotated relatively smoothly within a predetermined range, so that the conveyor belt 122 composed of graphite can be made. The arc surface of the drive shaft 121 disposed at both ends of the inner ring of the conveyor belt 122 rotates. LS3 15 201207947 In addition, in another embodiment, the first extending portion 312b covers the opening 316a and is inserted into the (k) first-hook portion 321b and the second hook portion 322a, so that the rolling belt 122 has a substantially flat surface, thereby making the CIGS film The solar cell 1 can be more uniformly heated when it is transported on the conveyor belt 122.
