[0002] In the process of mechanical processing, various types of thin sheets are often needed. Take laser cutting of silicon wafers as an example. Before the silicon wafers become finished products, they often need to be cooled, peeled, flipped and transported to facilitate the subsequent grinding, inspection and stacking processes.

The number of devices is complicated, occupying a large workspace, and the efficiency is low. In addition, each process requires position calibration. There are other ways to flip the silicon wafer, but adding new devices just for flipping will increase the cost and make the integration of the entire machine more difficult. It is far from achieving the expected effect. Summary of the invention

[0006] Furthermore, the double-ribbed round base is fixed on the top of the hydraulic cylinder, a bearing connected to the input shaft is provided on the double-ribbed round base, an axial sleeve for axial positioning with the small bevel gear is provided on the input shaft, the small bevel gear is connected to the input shaft (the small bevel gear on the left side can be directly connected to the input shaft, the small bevel gear on the right side is provided with a bearing and connected to the input shaft through the bearing, and the gear on the right side forms an empty sleeve), the input shaft is connected to the second motor, the second motor is fixed to the motor support plate and fixed by bolts, and the motor support plate is fixed to the double-ribbed round base by welding or bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, an axial end sleeve is provided on the left end of the double-rib circular base, the input shaft is connected to the small U-shaped plate and a bearing is provided on the small U-shaped plate, the small U-shaped plate is fixed to the double-rib circular base by bolts, the output shaft is connected to the supporting cylinder provided on the small U-shaped plate, and the supporting plate is connected to the hydraulic rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the support plate and the large U-shaped plate are installed back to back, the rotating shaft is connected to the large U-shaped plate and is installed with a pair of bearings, the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 is connected to the flip shaft 1 and the flip shaft 2, the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 is installed with a cooling valve for cooling the thin film, the small pulley is directly connected to the first motor through the motor shaft, and the first motor is installed on the support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the synchronous belt is installed in meshing with the large pulley and the small pulley.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The present invention can reduce the number of devices required for post-processing of thin slices, and is particularly suitable for flipping large-sized fragile thin slices, saving production costs, being more conducive to the integration of cutting equipment, reducing the demand for workspace, and improving production efficiency while reducing processing time while meeting the requirements of processing quality. In addition, the device has a simple structure, low maintenance costs for parts, and has good market prospects.

[0012] 2. The present invention is driven by a servo motor, and the first rotating arm realizes position calibration by rotating. After the position is calibrated, the first motor drives the small pulley to rotate, and the large pulley rotates under the action of the synchronous belt, so that the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 starts to flip. When the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 flips to be parallel to the surface of the silicon wafer, the first motor stops working, and then the hydraulic rod moves downward. When the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 coincides with or is close to coincide with the upper surface of the silicon wafer, the hydraulic rod stops moving, and the cooling valve installed on the vacuum suction cup releases coolant through the pipeline to cool the surface of the silicon wafer. After cooling is completed, the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 adsorbs the silicon wafer and rotates it as a whole by a certain angle to complete the peeling of the silicon wafer. After the peeling is completed, the hydraulic rod moves upward to a certain distance and stops. The vacuum suction cup flip head 1 is reversely flipped under the action of the first motor and the synchronous belt transmission structure, and flips to the horizontal plane and stops (at this time, the upper surface of the silicon wafer is at the bottom and the lower surface is at the top). The second motor drives the small bevel gear on the right side to rotate vertically through the input shaft, and the large bevel gear meshing with the small bevel gear on the right side starts to rotate horizontally, and the output shaft rotates synchronously. The second rotating arm rotates under the action of the output shaft, thereby driving the pneumatic cylinder and the vacuum suction cup flip head 2 to rotate. When the vacuum suction cup flip head 2 and the vacuum suction cup flip head 1 are on the same axial direction, the second motor stops working, and the pneumatic rod starts to move downward and stops when it coincides with or is close to coincide with the lower surface of the silicon wafer. The vacuum suction cup flip head 2 adsorbs the silicon wafer. After the adsorption is completed, the cylinder rod moves back a certain distance, and then the second motor starts working. The silicon wafer rotates to the position of the next process. When it rotates to the specified position, the second motor stops working, and the pneumatic rod continues to move downward to make the silicon wafer reach the position of the next process. The vacuum suction cup flip head 2 cancels the adsorption of the silicon wafer, thereby completing the flipping and transportation of the silicon wafer.

[0013] 3. The right small bevel gear of the present invention is installed with the input shaft through a bearing. When the first motor starts to work, the input shaft will drive the left small bevel gear to rotate, while the left small bevel gear will not rotate synchronously. The large bevel gear will rotate with it in the horizontal plane, and the small bevel gear on the right will rotate in the opposite direction to the left bevel gear. After the small bevel gear on the left is used, the large bevel gear can be worn evenly and rotated smoothly to ensure the smooth operation of the second rotating arm. The bevel gear on the input shaft can be axially positioned by an axial sleeve. Due to the meshing relationship, the right side of the left small bevel gear and the left side of the right small bevel gear do not need to be axially positioned. Only the upper end of the large bevel gear needs to be axially fixed with a shaft shoulder, and the lower end needs to be axially fixed with a shaft end retaining ring with a certain elasticity. The circumferential fixation of the connecting piece on the shaft of the present invention can be achieved by flat key connection.

[0014] 4. The present invention adopts synchronous belt transmission. During transmission, the transmission ratio is accurate, there is no slippage, the force on the shaft is small, the structure is compact, the oil resistance and wear resistance are good, the aging resistance is good, it can work in an environment of -20℃—+80℃, has buffering and shock absorption capabilities, low noise, high transmission efficiency, prevents the belt transmission from slipping, and prolongs the service life of the component. The shoulder of the input shaft and the axial sleeve are used to realize the axial positioning of the small bevel gear to ensure the meshing with the large bevel gear and ensure the smooth operation of the component.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] See attached Figure 1-5The present embodiment comprises a base 1, a first rotating arm 3 arranged on the base 1, a second motor 4, a pneumatic cylinder 2 and a hydraulic cylinder 6. The first rotating arm 3 can be rotated by a servo motor installed inside the base. The vacuum suction cup flip head (1) 7-6 is connected to the flip shaft (1) 7-3 and the flip shaft (2) 7-9. The flip shaft (1) 7-3 and the flip shaft (2) 7-9 are installed on the bearing 7-12 provided on the large U-shaped plate 7-10. The back side of the large U-shaped plate 7-10 is fixed together with the support plate 7-7. The support plate 7-7 is installed and fixed with the first motor 7-5. The support plate 7-7 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 6. The first motor 7-5 is connected to the small pulley 7-4. One end of the flip shaft (1) 7-3 is connected to the large pulley 7-2. The large pulley 7-2 can form a synchronous belt structure with the small pulley 7-4 through the synchronous belt 7-1.

[0023] The hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixed to the other end of the first rotating arm 3, and a hydraulic rod is provided on the hydraulic cylinder 6. A double-ribbed round base 5-1 is fixed to the top of the hydraulic cylinder body 6, and a bearing 5-3 is provided on the double-ribbed round base 5-1. A motor support plate is provided on the double-ribbed round base 5-1, and a second motor 4 is installed on the motor support plate. The second motor 4 is directly connected to the input shaft 5-3, and an axial sleeve 5-5 and a small bevel gear 5-7 are installed on the input shaft 5-3. The small bevel gear 5-7 is meshed with a large bevel gear 5-8, and the large bevel gear 5-8 is connected to the output shaft 5-9. The output shaft 5-9 is connected to a small U-shaped plate 5-10, and the small U-shaped plate 5-10 is connected to the input shaft 5-3 and fixed to the double-ribbed round base 5-1 by bolts. The output shaft 5-9 is connected to the second rotating arm 2-3, and the second rotating arm 2-3 is connected and fixed to the pneumatic 2-2 by bolts. A pneumatic rod is provided on the pneumatic cylinder 2-2 and is connected to the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1.

[0024] Working principle: The base 1 is placed on a designated platform or the ground. The first rotating arm 3 is rotated by the servo motor and drives all parts except the base 1 to rotate. When the rotation reaches the calibration position, the first motor 7-5 starts to work and drives the small pulley 7-4, the synchronous belt 7-1, and the large pulley 7-2 to engage and transmit, so that the flip axis (1) 7-3 and the flip axis (2) 7-9 drive the vacuum suction cup flip head (1) 7-6 to flip downward. When the flip head is parallel to the silicon wafer, the second motor 7-5 stops working, and the hydraulic rod moves downward until the vacuum suction cup flip head (1) 7-6 is close to or coincides with the upper surface of the silicon wafer. The cooling valve 7-8 installed on the vacuum suction cup releases coolant through the pipeline to cool the surface of the silicon wafer. After cooling, the vacuum suction cup flip head (1) 7-6 absorbs the silicon wafer. After absorption, it drives the silicon wafer to rotate a certain angle for peeling. After peeling, the hydraulic rod moves upward to a certain distance, and the first motor 7-5 reverses and moves on the synchronous belt Under the action of 7-1, the flip head is flipped upward. When the lower surface of the silicon wafer is flipped to be parallel to the horizontal plane, the first motor 7-5 stops working, the second motor 4 starts working and rotates the second rotating arm 2-3 through the meshing relationship between the small bevel gear 5-7 and the large bevel gear 5-8, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1 to rotate. When the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1 rotates to a point where there is a concentric relationship between the silicon wafer and the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1, the second motor 4 stops working and the pneumatic rod starts to move downward. When the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1 coincides with the lower surface of the silicon wafer, it stops moving. The vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1 adsorbs the silicon wafer. After adsorption is completed, the pneumatic rod moves upward to a certain distance, the second motor 4 starts working and drives the silicon wafer to rotate in the direction of the next process. After reaching the specified position, the second motor 4 stops working, the pneumatic rod moves downward to make the silicon wafer reach the specified position of the next process, and the vacuum suction cup flip head (2) 2-1 cancels adsorption, thereby completing the flipping and transportation of the silicon wafer.
