Abstract:
1. A curing processing device executing a curing process for a solar battery assembly formed by perfuming laminate press for stacked structural components of a solar battery so as to heat the solar battery assembly and thereby to thermally stabilize the solar battery assembly, the curing processing device comprising: a top moving plate; a bottom moving plate arranged under the top moving plate; at least one intermediate moving plate arranged between the top moving plate and the bottom moving plate, a heating unit which heats each of the top moving plate, the bottom moving plate and the at least one intermediate moving plate; a moving plate driving unit which drives the bottom moving plate in a vertical direction; a carrying unit which arranges the solar battery assembly at a position between the moving plates, and retrieves the solar batter assembly from the moving plates; and a controller, wherein: each of the top moving plate and the at least one intermediate moving plate includes an elastic film on a lower surface thereof and a positive pressure applying unit which applies a positive pressure to a space between the lower surface and the elastic film; the controller is configured to cause the curing processing device to operate in a carrying mode in which the controller selects a pair of moving plates, adjoining in a vertical direction, from the top moving plate, the at least one intermediate moving plate and the bottom moving plate, selectively increases an interval between the selected pair of moving plates, and carries in or carries out the solar battery assembly to or from a position between the pair of moving plates, and a compress mode in which the bottom moving plate is moved upward so that the solar battery assembly is sandwiched between the pair of moving plates and then, by driving the positive pressure applying unit, a positive pressure is applied to the space between a lower surface of an upper side moving plate and the elastic film of the upper side moving plate to cause the elastic film to press the solar batter assembly; and the controller changes a pair of moving plates selected in the carrying mode in a predetermined order each time the carrying mode and the compress mode is switched.
