[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the lower ends of the two racks are fixedly connected with a slide bar, the lower inner wall of the mounting seat is provided with two slide grooves, and the two slide bars are slidably connected in the two slide grooves respectively.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, two fixing seats are fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting seat, and the side ends of the two fixing seats are fixedly connected to the sensing devices.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a storage tray is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting seat, a fixed bottom plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting seat, and two mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both side ends of the mounting seat.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the two sliding rods are slidably connected in the mounting seat, and the two sliding seats are slidably connected via the sliding rods.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, A method for detecting wafer defects, comprising: S1. First, place the wafer on the reflective plate, and then run the first motor to drive the gear to rotate. The two racks drive the two slides to approach each other under the power of the gear, so that the two clamping blocks clamp the wafer. After testing one side of the wafer, the two second motors can be run at the same time to drive the wafer to rotate respectively, so that the testing mechanism can comprehensively test the wafer. S2. After the clamping mechanism fixes the wafer, the third motor can be operated to drive the rotating head to rotate, so that the nozzle moves to the upper end of the wafer. The nozzle avoids cleaning the wafer, which can reduce dust on the wafer surface. Then the ultrasonic probe is moved to the upper end of the wafer, and the first electric push rod is controlled to drive the ultrasonic probe to move toward the wafer. The ultrasonic probe radiates ultrasonic waves to the wafer, and measures the measured distance through the reflection of the measured object and the time difference after the echo is received. When the ultrasonic signal at a part of the wafer deviates, the ultrasonic receiving pot can receive the rebounded ultrasonic signal to detect bubbles and scratches on the wafer surface. By moving the penetration lamp to the upper surface of the wafer and running the penetration lamp to irradiate the wafer, when the wafer breaks, the irradiation light of the penetration lamp will pass through the wafer and shine on the surface of the reflective disk. At the same time, the light receiving pot can receive the reflected light signal to determine the position of the wafer crack. S3. When the two clamping blocks are clamping the wafer, the wafer will contact the protective pad. When the pressure sensor is subjected to the pressure of the wafer, the operation of the first motor will be stopped, so that the two clamping blocks can fix the wafer while avoiding the clamping blocks squeezing the wafer. The sensor installed on the slide can be used to detect the position of the wafer to avoid deviation during the clamping process.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. After the wafer is fixed by the clamping mechanism, the wafer is inspected by the penetration lamp and ultrasonic probe respectively. The second motor controls the rotation of the wafer so that the detection mechanism can detect both sides of the wafer. The ultrasonic probe radiates ultrasonic waves to the wafer. When bubbles and concave-convex structures appear on the surface of the wafer, its energy will be emitted, refracted and scattered on the scratches and bubble surfaces of the wafer, thereby changing the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave, causing part of the ultrasonic wave energy to be reflected back. By analyzing the ultrasonic wave signal reflected back from the object being tested, the defects of the wafer can be detected. The wafer is illuminated by running the penetration lamp. When the light receiving pot receives the reflected light signal. The photoelectric converter in the light receiving pot converts the reflected light signal into an electrical signal, and amplifies and filters it to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. By analyzing the intensity and distribution of the received reflected light signal, it can be determined whether the wafer has cracks and the location of the cracks. If the intensity of the reflected light signal received by the receiving pot increases significantly, it indicates that the light has penetrated the wafer and the wafer may be broken. Therefore, no manual operation is required, and the wafer detection effect can be automatically achieved, which is more convenient in batch detection.

[0017] 2. When the two clamping blocks are fixing the wafer, the wafer will push the pressure sensor through the protective pad contacting the protective pad. When the pressure sensor senses the pressure, it will stop the operation of the first motor to prevent the clamping block from squeezing the wafer. The sensor installed on the slide allows the clamping block to find the position of the wafer and avoid deviation during the clamping process. The protective pad installed in the clamping block can protect the wafer and prevent the clamping block from damaging the wafer.

[0018] 3. The storage tray installed on the mounting base can be used to protect the wafer. When the wafer falls, the storage tray can reduce the damage to the wafer caused by the mounting base. The sensing device installed on the mounting base can sense the surroundings. During the operation of the equipment, when the operator is within the sensing range of the sensing device, the operation of the equipment can be stopped to prevent the equipment from causing injuries to the operator during operation.

The gear 205 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 204 and can be used to drive the two racks 206 to move relative to each other. The slide 202 is slidably connected in the mounting seat 1 and can be used to support the clamping mechanism. The rack 206 is fixedly connected to the side end of the slide 202 and can drive the carriage 201 to move by cooperating with the gear 205. The rack 206 meshes with the gear 205, and the slide bar 203 is fixedly connected to the side end of the slide 202 and can be used to support the slide 202 to slide in the mounting seat 1. The slide 201 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide 202 and can be used to install the second motor 208. The second motor 208 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide 201 and can drive the wafer to rotate through the clamping block 209. The docking head 207 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 208, and the clamping block 209 can be installed at the output end of the second motor 208. The clamping block 209 is fixedly connected to one end of the docking head 207 and can be used to fix the wafer; The upper end of the mounting base 1 is provided with a detection mechanism, which includes a support rod 301, a first electric push rod 302, a connecting rod 303, a third motor 304, a rotating head 305, three swing rods 306, a light receiving pot 308, a penetrating lamp 307, an air pipe 309, a nozzle 310, an ultrasonic receiving pot 311 and an ultrasonic probe 312. The support rod 301 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1 and can be used to install the first electric push rod 302. The first electric push rod 302 is fixedly connected in the support rod 301 and can drive the three swing rods 306 to move up and down. The connecting rod 303 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 302 and can be used to install the third motor 304. The third motor 304 is fixedly connected in the connecting rod 303 and can drive the three swing rods 306 to rotate. The rotating head 305 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 304 and can be used to install the three swing rods 306. Three swinging rods 306 are fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating head 305, and can be used to install the detection equipment respectively. The light receiving pot 308 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the swinging rods 306, and can be used to receive the light signal rebounded by the reflective disk 11. The penetrating lamp 307 is fixedly connected to the light receiving pot 308. The light of the penetrating lamp 307 here uses light of a specific wavelength to irradiate the wafer, such as infrared light. Silicon is opaque in the visible light range, but in the infrared wavelength range, the transparency of silicon is improved. For the light receiving pot 308, the structure is to receive the reflected light signal reflected by the reflective disk 11, and the light receiving pot 308 receives the reflected light signal. The photoelectric converter in the receiving pot 308 converts the reflected light signal into an electrical signal, and amplifies and filters it to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. By analyzing the intensity and distribution of the received reflected light signal, it can be determined whether the wafer has cracks and the location of the cracks. If the intensity of the reflected light signal received by the receiving pot 308 increases significantly, it indicates that the light has penetrated the wafer and the wafer may be broken. Therefore, the strength of the light detector output signal can determine the change of the concave-convex structure on the surface of the wafer, and the light receiving pot 308 is pot-shaped, which can effectively receive the signal received by the light source. The air pipe 309 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the swing rods 306, and can supply air to the nozzle 310 by connecting to the air pump. The nozzle 310 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the air pipe 309 and can be used to clean the dust on the surface of the wafer. The ultrasonic receiving pot 311 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the swing rods 306 and can be used to receive the rebounded ultrasonic signal. The ultrasonic probe 312 is fixedly connected to the ultrasonic receiving pot 311, and transmits ultrasonic waves to the wafer. When bubbles and concave-convex structures appear on the surface of the wafer, the energy will be emitted, refracted and scattered on the scratches and bubble surfaces on the surface of the wafer, thereby changing the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave, causing part of the ultrasonic wave energy to be reflected back. By analyzing the ultrasonic wave signal reflected back from the object being measured, the defects of the wafer can be detected.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, an upper end of one of the slides 201 is fixedly connected with an inclined block 16, which can be used to install a sensor 17. An upper end of the inclined block 16 is fixedly connected with a sensor 17, which can be used to assist the slide 201 in sensing the wafer.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, the lower ends of the two racks 206 are fixedly connected with a slide bar 18, which can be used to assist the slide 202 to slide in the mounting seat 1. The lower inner wall of the mounting seat 1 is provided with two slide grooves 15, and the two slides 202 can slide stably in the slide grooves 15 through the slide bars 18. The two slide bars 18 are slidably connected in the two slide grooves 15 respectively.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected with a butt joint pipe 9, and the second electric push rod 10 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1. The second electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the butt joint pipe 9, which can drive the wafer to move up and down.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, both clamping blocks 209 are provided with mounting grooves 14 for mounting pressure sensors 12. Pressure sensors 12 are fixedly connected to both mounting grooves 14. When the clamping blocks 209 clamp the wafer, the wafer presses against the pressure sensors 12, thereby controlling the first motor 204 to stop running.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the two clamping blocks 209 are both fixedly connected with protection pads 13, which can reduce the wear of the wafer caused by the clamping blocks 209. The two protection pads 13 are made of rubber material and can effectively protect the surface of the wafer.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, two slide bars 203 are slidably connected in the mounting seat 1, so that the slide 202 can slide stably in the mounting seat 1.

[0031] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: first, the wafer is placed on the reflective plate 11, and then the gear 205 is driven to rotate by running the first motor 204. The two racks 206 respectively drive the two slides 201 to approach each other under the power of the gear 205, so that the two clamping blocks 209 clamp the wafer. After detecting one side of the wafer, the two second motors 208 can be operated at the same time to drive the wafer to rotate respectively, so that the detection mechanism can comprehensively detect the wafer. After the clamping mechanism fixes the wafer, the third motor 304 can be operated to drive the rotating head 305 to rotate, so that the nozzle 310 moves to the upper end of the wafer, and the nozzle 310 can be used to avoid cleaning the wafer. Reduce the dust on the surface of the wafer, then move the ultrasonic probe 312 to the upper end of the wafer, control the first electric push rod 302 to drive the ultrasonic probe 312 to move toward the wafer, the ultrasonic probe 312 radiates ultrasonic waves to the wafer, and the ultrasonic receiving pot 311 can receive the rebounded ultrasonic signal to detect bubbles and scratches on the surface of the wafer. Move the penetration lamp 307 to the upper surface of the wafer, and irradiate the wafer by running the penetration lamp 307. The light of the penetration lamp 307 uses a light of a specific wavelength to irradiate the wafer. The light receiving pot 308 is to receive the reflected light signal reflected by the reflection disk 11, and the light receiving pot 308 receives the reflected light signal. The photoelectric converter in the receiving pot 308 converts the reflected light signal into an electrical signal, and amplifies and filters it to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. By analyzing the intensity and distribution of the received reflected light signal, it can be determined whether the wafer has cracks and the location of the cracks. If the intensity of the reflected light signal received by the receiving pot 308 increases significantly, it indicates that the light has penetrated the wafer and the wafer may be broken.

The two racks (206) respectively drive the two slides (201) to approach each other under the power of the gear (205), so that the two clamping blocks (209) clamp the wafer. After one side of the wafer is inspected, the two second motors (208) can be operated simultaneously to respectively drive the wafer to rotate, so that the inspection mechanism can comprehensively inspect the wafer. S2. After the clamping mechanism fixes the wafer, the third motor (304) can be operated to drive the rotating head (305) to rotate, so that the nozzle (310) moves to the upper end of the wafer. The nozzle (310) avoids cleaning the wafer, which can reduce dust on the surface of the wafer. Then, the ultrasonic probe (312) is moved to the upper end of the wafer, and the first electric push rod (302) is controlled to drive the ultrasonic probe (312) to move toward the wafer. The ultrasonic probe (312) radiates ultrasonic waves to the wafer. When bubbles and concave-convex structures appear on the surface of the wafer, the energy will be emitted, refracted and scattered on the scratches and bubble surfaces on the surface of the wafer, thereby changing the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave, causing a part of the ultrasonic wave energy to be reflected back. The ultrasonic signal reflected back from the object to be tested is received by the ultrasonic receiving pot (311), thereby achieving the detection of wafer defects. The penetrating lamp (307) is moved to the upper surface of the wafer, and the wafer is illuminated by the penetrating lamp (307). When the light receiving pot (308) receives the reflected light signal. The photoelectric converter in the light receiving pot (308) converts the reflected light signal into an electrical signal, and amplifies and filters it to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. By analyzing the intensity and distribution of the received reflected light signal, it can be determined whether the wafer has cracks and the location of the cracks. S3. When the two clamping blocks (209) are clamping the wafer, the wafer will contact the protection pad (13). When the pressure sensor (12) is subjected to the pressure of the wafer, the operation of the first motor (204) will be stopped, so that the two clamping blocks (209) can fix the wafer while preventing the clamping blocks (209) from squeezing the wafer. The sensor (17) installed on the slide (201) can be used to detect the position of the wafer to avoid deviation during the clamping process.
