在習知的溝槽加工裝置或溝槽加工方法中,在連續加工複數條溝槽時,係重複進行在加工1條溝槽後使加工頭上升並移動至加工開始位置而接著加工下一個溝槽等動作。在此種習知之裝置及方法中,在加工上耗費時間,而且,還會有必須將先前已調整過之工具的推壓力再次調整的情況。In the conventional groove processing device or groove processing method, when a plurality of grooves are continuously processed, the processing head is raised and moved to the processing start position after processing one groove, and then the next groove is processed. Actions such as slots. In such conventional devices and methods, it takes time to process, and there is also a case where the pressing force of the previously adjusted tool must be adjusted again.

因此,本發明人等已開發一種能有效率並迅速地進行溝槽加工的加工裝置,並已提出申請(日本特願2010-082953)。該加工裝置係將工具夾持具以可上下移動的方式安裝在加工頭,而且,搖動構件係以可在預定的角度範圍內搖動的方式安裝在該工具夾持具。溝槽加工工具係保持在搖動構件,搖動構件係在往前移動時之前進切削姿勢與往後移動時之向後切削姿勢下進行反轉。溝槽加工工具在往前移動側及往後移動側設置有對稱的前部刀尖及後部刀尖。而且,在搖動構件處於往前移動(前進)切削姿勢時,前部刀尖會與太陽能電池基板接觸,而在搖動構件處於往後移動(向後)切削姿勢時,後部刀尖會與太陽能電池基板接觸。Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have developed a processing apparatus which can efficiently and quickly perform the groove processing, and has filed an application (Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-082953). The machining device mounts the tool holder to the machining head in a vertically movable manner, and the rocking member is mounted to the tool holder in a manner that can be rocked within a predetermined angular range. The groove machining tool is held in the rocking member, and the rocking member is reversed in the backward cutting posture before the forward movement and the backward cutting posture when moving forward. The groove processing tool is provided with a symmetrical front cutting edge and a rear cutting edge on the forward moving side and the backward moving side. Moreover, when the rocking member is moved forward (forward) in the cutting posture, the front cutting edge is in contact with the solar cell substrate, and when the rocking member is in the backward moving (backward) cutting posture, the rear cutting edge is associated with the solar cell substrate. contact.

當使用上述之溝槽加工工具進行溝槽加工時,能有效率地進行溝槽加工。但是,當工具兩端的刀尖逐漸磨耗時,刃之移動方向的寬度會隨著磨耗而變寬,會有無法長期間良好地維持加工品 質的情形。When the groove processing is performed using the above-described groove processing tool, the groove processing can be efficiently performed. However, when the tip of the tool is gradually worn, the width of the blade in the moving direction is widened with wear, and the processed product can be maintained well for a long period of time. Quality situation.

本發明之課題,係在往前往後移動而可進行溝槽加工之溝槽加工工具中,減少因磨耗造成刀刃之寬度的變化,並謀求長壽化。An object of the present invention is to reduce the change in the width of the blade due to abrasion in a groove processing tool that can be moved after traveling, and to achieve longevity.

第1發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係由夾持具所保持,並用以與夾持具一起相對地往前往後移動於屬於加工對象之基板上而在基板形成溝槽的工具,係具備:工具本體,係由夾持具所保持;及刀尖部。刀尖部係形成於工具本體的前端部,具有形成於移動方向之往前移動側的前端之第1刃、及形成於往後移動側的前端之第2刃,且第1刃與第2刃係連續而鄰接。The groove processing tool for a substrate according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided by a holder, and is provided with a tool for moving the substrate to the substrate to be processed and forming a groove on the substrate. : The tool body is held by the clamp; and the tip end. The tip end portion is formed at a distal end portion of the tool body, and has a first blade formed at a distal end on the forward moving side in the moving direction and a second blade formed at a distal end on the backward moving side, and the first blade and the second blade The blade system is continuous and adjacent.

在此,形成在刀尖部的第1刃與第2刃係鄰接。亦即,在第1刃與第2刃之間,並未存在有未形成刃的部分。因此,當第1刃磨耗時會切削第2刃,或反之當第2刃磨耗時會切削第1刃。因此,即使第1刃及第2刃磨耗,仍能抑制各刃的寬度產生變化,並能謀求工具的長壽化。Here, the first blade formed at the cutting edge portion is adjacent to the second blade. That is, there is no portion where the blade is not formed between the first blade and the second blade. Therefore, the second blade is cut when the first blade is worn, or the first blade is cut when the second blade is worn. Therefore, even if the first blade and the second blade are worn, it is possible to suppress variations in the width of each blade, and it is possible to increase the life of the tool.

第2發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係在第1發明的溝槽加工工具中,第1刃及第2刃之各者,係從刀尖部之移動方向的中心位置朝向移動方向的兩側而形成,並相對於移動方向在工具本體側傾斜達相同角度。In the groove processing tool according to the first aspect of the invention, in the groove processing tool according to the first aspect of the invention, each of the first blade and the second blade is two from a center position in a moving direction of the blade edge portion toward a moving direction. It is formed laterally and is inclined at the same angle on the tool body side with respect to the moving direction.

在此亦與第1發明同樣,即使第1刃及第2刃磨耗,仍能抑制當初設定之刃的寬度產生變化。Also in the same manner as the first invention, even if the first blade and the second blade are worn, it is possible to suppress a change in the width of the blade which is originally set.

第3發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係於第2發明的溝槽加工工具中,工具本體係由搖動構件所支撐者;該搖動構件係以搖動自如的方式由夾持具所支撐。而且,第1刃及第2刃的傾斜角度 係與搖動構件的搖動角度相等。A groove processing tool for a substrate according to a third aspect of the invention is the groove processing tool according to the second aspect of the invention, wherein the tool body system is supported by a rocking member; and the rocking member is supported by the clamp in a rocking manner. Moreover, the inclination angle of the first blade and the second blade It is equal to the shaking angle of the rocking member.

在此,在往前移動時及往後移動時之各者中,各刃之寬度整體係與基板接觸,能效率良好地進行加工。Here, in each of the forward movement and the backward movement, the width of each blade is entirely in contact with the substrate, and the processing can be performed efficiently.

第4發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係於第1發明至第3發明的溝槽加工工具中,刀尖部係以移動方向的寬度隨著越朝向前端而越變窄的方式,傾斜且對稱地形成有相對向之往前移動側的側面與往後移動側的側面。In the groove processing tool according to the fourth aspect of the invention, in the groove processing tool according to the first to third aspects of the present invention, the width of the blade edge portion is inclined so as to become narrower toward the tip end. The side surface opposite to the moving side and the side moving backward are formed symmetrically.

在此,刀尖部之移動方向的寬度較佳為全部相同。此時,即使第1刃及第2刃磨耗,移動方向之寬度仍會因為切削彼此的刃而不會改變。Here, the widths of the blade tips in the moving direction are preferably all the same. At this time, even if the first blade and the second blade are worn, the width of the moving direction is not changed by cutting the blades of each other.

但是,通常,若刀尖部的寬度非常小而將小寬度的刀尖部做成為較長時,強度就會降低,且在加工中破損的可能性會變高。However, in general, when the width of the tip portion is extremely small and the tip portion having a small width is made long, the strength is lowered, and the possibility of breakage during processing becomes high.

因此,在該第4發明中,刀尖部係以前端較細且隨著離開前端而變越粗的方式形成。因此,不但能抑制強度的降低,還能抑制因磨耗造成寬度變化而謀求長壽化。Therefore, in the fourth aspect of the invention, the tip end portion is formed to be thinner at the tip end and thicker as it goes away from the tip end. Therefore, not only the reduction in strength can be suppressed, but also the change in width due to abrasion can be suppressed, and longevity can be achieved.

第5發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係在第1發明至第4發明的溝槽加工工具中,刀尖部之在與移動方向正交之方向的寬度比工具本體之相同方向的寬度窄。In the groove processing tool according to the first to fourth aspects of the invention, in the groove processing tool according to the first aspect of the invention, the width of the cutting edge portion in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction is narrower than the width of the tool body in the same direction. .

刀尖部之與移動方向正交之方向的寬度,必須因應加工之溝槽的寬度尺寸來設定。而且,一般而言,溝槽寬度尺寸非常窄。另一方面,工具本體必須有預定的寬度,以便裝設於夾持具或確保強度。The width of the tip end in the direction orthogonal to the direction of movement must be set according to the width dimension of the groove to be machined. Moreover, in general, the groove width is very narrow. On the other hand, the tool body must have a predetermined width for mounting on the holder or to ensure strength.

因此,在該溝槽加工工具中,使刀尖部之與移動方向正交之方向的寬度較窄,在另一方面,使工具本體之相同方向的寬度較 粗。Therefore, in the groove processing tool, the width of the blade tip portion in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction is made narrower, and on the other hand, the width of the tool body in the same direction is made wider. Crude.

第6發明的基板之溝槽加工工具,係在第5發明的溝槽加工工具中,工具本體之刀尖部側的部分在與移動方向正交之方向的寬度係隨著越靠近刀尖部而越變窄。In the groove processing tool according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the groove processing tool according to the fifth aspect of the invention, the width of the portion on the cutting edge side of the tool body in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction is closer to the cutting edge portion. And the narrower.

在上述之本發明中,係在往前往後移動而可進行溝槽加工之溝槽加工工具中,能減少因磨耗造成刃之寬度的變化,並謀求長壽化。In the above-described present invention, it is possible to reduce the change in the width of the blade due to abrasion in the groove processing tool which can be moved to the rear and can perform the groove processing, and to achieve longevity.

第3圖係顯示工具2的詳細內容。第3圖(a)係為工具2的側視圖,第3圖(b)係為其前視圖,第3圖(c)係為刀尖部的一部分擴大圖。在第3圖(c)顯示工具2的移動方向M。Figure 3 shows the details of the tool 2. Fig. 3(a) is a side view of the tool 2, Fig. 3(b) is a front view thereof, and Fig. 3(c) is a partially enlarged view of the tip end portion. The moving direction M of the tool 2 is shown in Fig. 3(c).

工具2係具有保持於夾持具17的工具本體36、及形成於工具本體36的前端部之刀尖部37。刀尖部37係在工具本體36的前端部中形成在高度h(參照第3圖(b))的範圍。The tool 2 has a tool body 36 held by the holder 17 and a blade edge portion 37 formed at a front end portion of the tool body 36. The tip end portion 37 is formed in the front end portion of the tool body 36 at a height h (see FIG. 3(b)).

在刀尖部37的前端中,在移動方向的兩側形成有第1刃38a及第2刃38b。在此,第1刃38a係為用以在往前移動時進行溝槽加工的刃,第2刃38b係為用以在往復移動時進行溝槽加工的刃。In the front end of the cutting edge portion 37, a first blade 38a and a second blade 38b are formed on both sides in the moving direction. Here, the first blade 38a is a blade for performing groove processing when moving forward, and the second blade 38b is a blade for performing groove processing during reciprocating movement.

工具本體36的刀尖部37側之部分與刀尖部37係可由第3圖(b)得知,在前視中形成為連續。而且,該等之移動方向的寬度係隨著越朝前端越變窄(刃的前端寬度為W1)。亦即,刀尖部37之相對向的往前移動側的側面37a與往後移動側的側面37b係形成為傾斜且對稱,且兩側面37a,37b係以角度D1朝向上方分開。The portion of the tool body 36 on the blade edge portion 37 side and the blade edge portion 37 can be known from Fig. 3(b), and are formed to be continuous in the front view. Moreover, the width of the moving direction is narrower as it goes toward the front end (the front end width of the blade is W1). That is, the side surface 37a on the forward moving side of the blade edge portion 37 and the side surface 37b on the rearward moving side are formed to be inclined and symmetrical, and the both side faces 37a, 37b are separated upward by the angle D1.

此外,如第3圖(a)所示,在刀尖部37之中,與移動方向正交之方向的寬度W2係形成為比工具本體36之同方向的寬度窄。該方向之刀尖部37的寬度係遍及全長皆為W2。Further, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the width W2 of the blade edge portion 37 in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction is formed to be narrower than the width of the tool body 36 in the same direction. The width of the tip end portion 37 in this direction is W2 throughout the entire length.

而且,由第3圖(a)即可明瞭,工具本體36的刀尖部37側的部分之與移動方向正交之方向的寬度,係以隨著越靠近刀尖部37越變窄的方式,以角度D2傾斜。Further, as is clear from Fig. 3(a), the width of the portion of the tool body 36 on the side of the cutting edge portion 37 in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction is narrowed as it approaches the cutting edge portion 37. , tilted at an angle D2.

如第3圖(c)圖所示,第1刃38a係從工具2之移動方向的中 心C朝向移動方向一方側(往前移動側+M)而形成。此外,第2刃38b係從工具2之移動方向的中心C朝向移動方向另一方側(往後移動側-M)而形成。亦即,第1刃38a與第2刃38b係連續而鄰接,且在該等刃38a,38b之間並不存在非為刃的部分。而且,第1刃38a及第2刃38b皆相對於沿著移動方向之直線(與中心線C正交之直線)H而同樣傾斜達角度D3。As shown in Fig. 3(c), the first blade 38a is in the middle of the moving direction of the tool 2. The core C is formed toward one side in the moving direction (moving forward side +M). Further, the second blade 38b is formed from the center C in the moving direction of the tool 2 toward the other side in the moving direction (moving side -M toward the rear). That is, the first blade 38a and the second blade 38b are continuous and adjacent, and there is no portion which is not a blade between the blades 38a and 38b. Further, both the first blade 38a and the second blade 38b are inclined at an angle D3 with respect to a straight line (a line orthogonal to the center line C) H along the moving direction.

另外,在以下顯示作為一實施例之刀尖部37的各要素。In addition, each element of the blade edge portion 37 as an embodiment is shown below.

[溝槽加工動作][groove processing action]

在使用上述之裝置對薄膜太陽能電池基板進行溝槽加工時,係藉由移動支撐機構6使加工頭3移動並且使平台1移動,且使用攝影機4及監視器5而使工具2位於要形成溝槽之預定線上。When the thin film solar cell substrate is grooved using the above-described apparatus, the processing head 3 is moved by the moving support mechanism 6 and the stage 1 is moved, and the tool 2 is placed on the thin film solar cell to be formed by using the camera 4 and the monitor 5. The predetermined line of the tank.

在進行上述之定位後,驅動汽缸19而使夾持具17及搖動構件18下降,使工具2的前端與薄膜接觸。此時之工具2相對於薄膜的加壓力,係藉由汽缸19所供給之氣壓來調整。After the above positioning, the cylinder 19 is driven to lower the clamp 17 and the rocking member 18, and the tip end of the tool 2 is brought into contact with the film. The pressing force of the tool 2 with respect to the film at this time is adjusted by the air pressure supplied from the cylinder 19.

接著,驅動馬達10,使加工頭3沿著溝槽加工預定線掃描。將此時之搖動構件18及工具2的姿勢示意性顯示於第4圖及第5圖。Next, the motor 10 is driven to scan the processing head 3 along the groove processing planned line. The postures of the rocking member 18 and the tool 2 at this time are schematically shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

如第4圖(a)及第5圖(a)所示,往前移動時(第4圖中往右側之移動時),由於第1刃38a與基板上之薄膜的接觸阻力,搖動構件 18會以插銷26為中心而順時針搖動。該搖動係由於搖動構件18的上端部25b與右側之筒狀構件28a抵接而受到限制。因此,工具2係在維持如第4圖(a)所示的傾斜姿勢,在第1刃38a與基板上的薄膜抵接且第2刃38b未與基板的表面抵接之狀態下,朝+M方向移動而形成溝槽。As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 5(a), when moving forward (when moving to the right in FIG. 4), the rocking member is due to the contact resistance of the first blade 38a with the film on the substrate. 18 will swing clockwise around the pin 26. This rocking is restricted by the upper end portion 25b of the rocking member 18 abutting against the right cylindrical member 28a. Therefore, the tool 2 is maintained in the inclined posture as shown in Fig. 4(a), and the first blade 38a is in contact with the film on the substrate, and the second blade 38b is not in contact with the surface of the substrate. The M direction moves to form a groove.

之後,使加工頭3相對於基板相對地移動,接著為了將工具2降下而使移動至溝槽加工預定線上。然後,與前述同樣地,將工具2推抵至基板上的薄膜而使加工頭3朝與前述反方向移動。Thereafter, the processing head 3 is relatively moved with respect to the substrate, and then moved to the groove processing predetermined line in order to lower the tool 2. Then, in the same manner as described above, the tool 2 is pushed against the film on the substrate, and the processing head 3 is moved in the opposite direction.

如第4圖(c)及第5圖(b)所示,在該往後移動(第4圖中往左側之移動時)中,由於第2刃38b與基板上之薄膜的接觸阻力,搖動構件18會以插銷26為中心而逆時針搖動。該搖動係由於搖動構件18的上端部25b與左側之筒狀構件28b抵接而受到限制。因此,工具2係在維持如第4圖(c)所示的傾斜姿勢,在第2刃38b與基板上的薄膜抵接且第1刃38a未與基板的表面抵接之狀態下,朝-M方向移動而形成溝槽。As shown in FIGS. 4(c) and 5(b), in the backward movement (when moving to the left in FIG. 4), the second blade 38b is shaken by the contact resistance of the film on the substrate. The member 18 will rock counterclockwise centering on the pin 26. This rocking is restricted by the upper end portion 25b of the rocking member 18 abutting against the left cylindrical member 28b. Therefore, the tool 2 is maintained in the inclined posture as shown in FIG. 4(c), and the second blade 38b is in contact with the film on the substrate, and the first blade 38a is not in contact with the surface of the substrate. The M direction moves to form a groove.

再者,在溝槽加工中或溝槽加工結束時,會從各氣體供給部34a,34b之氣體噴嘴46噴出氣體,去除從基板剝離的膜。Further, during the groove processing or at the end of the groove processing, gas is ejected from the gas nozzles 46 of the respective gas supply portions 34a and 34b to remove the film peeled off from the substrate.

[特徵][feature]

(1)在如同上述之溝槽加工中,第1刃38a及第2刃38b係持續大致均等地磨耗。而且,因為第1刃38a及第2刃38b係以寬度方向的中心C為交界而鄰接形成在兩側,故當一方磨耗時另一方也磨耗,各刃38a,38b之移動方向的寬度不會大幅變化。此狀態係顯示於第5圖(c)。在第5圖(c)中,左側的工具2係顯示初期狀態。此外,中間的工具2係顯示磨耗進展到某種程度的狀態,右 側的工具2係顯示磨耗進一步進展之狀態。在中間及右側的圖式中,以斜線表示之部分係為已磨耗之部分。從該等圖式即可明瞭,即使磨耗進展,各刃38a,38b之移動方向的寬度不太有變化。因此,比習知的工具更能謀求長壽化。(1) In the groove processing as described above, the first blade 38a and the second blade 38b continue to wear substantially uniformly. Further, since the first blade 38a and the second blade 38b are formed adjacent to each other at the center C in the width direction, the other side is worn when one wears, and the width of each of the blades 38a and 38b does not move. Great changes. This state is shown in Figure 5(c). In Fig. 5(c), the tool 2 on the left side shows the initial state. In addition, the middle tool 2 shows that the wear progresses to a certain degree, right The tool 2 on the side shows a state in which the wear progresses further. In the middle and right drawings, the portion indicated by the slanted line is the worn portion. It can be understood from the drawings that the width of the respective blades 38a, 38b in the moving direction does not change much even if the wear progresses. Therefore, it is possible to achieve longer life than conventional tools.

(2)因為將搖動構件的搖動角度與各刃38a,38b之傾斜角度D3設為相同,故在工具2的往前移動及往後移動的各者中,各刃38a,38b的寬度整體會與基板接觸。因此,能效率良好地進行加工。(2) Since the rocking angle of the rocking member is set to be the same as the tilting angle D3 of each of the blades 38a and 38b, the width of each of the blades 38a and 38b is generally increased in each of the tool 2 moving forward and backward. Contact with the substrate. Therefore, the processing can be performed efficiently.

(3)因為將刀尖部37之移動方向的寬度以隨著越朝前端越變窄的方式形成,故能抑制刀尖部37之強度降低而謀求長壽化。(3) Since the width of the blade edge portion 37 in the moving direction is formed to be narrower toward the tip end, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the strength of the blade edge portion 37 and to achieve a longer life.
