[0015] Compared with the prior art, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects: In the present invention, through the coordination of a series of structures, when the manipulator moves the wafer product to the position directly above the hollow wafer carrier, the staff starts the reduction motor on the driving mechanism and opens the solenoid valves on the liquid pipes on the first piston assembly and the third piston assembly, and starts the suction pump and opens the solenoid valve on the ventilation pipe. The start-up of the reduction motor will drive the rotating shaft to rotate forward or reverse. Because the external thread on the outer wall of the rotating shaft and the threaded hole are threadedly connected, when the rotating shaft rotates forward or reversely, the moving plate will make a linear motion in the Y-axis direction. When the moving plate makes a linear motion in the Y-axis direction, the rubber piston on the third piston assembly will make a piston motion in the piston cylinder. When the staff makes the rubber piston on the third piston assembly move downward in the Y-axis direction, the rubber piston on the third piston assembly will move to The compression of the liquid in the piston cylinder will cause the fluid to flow into the piston cylinder on the first piston assembly. At this time, the piston rod on the first piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction. When the piston rod on the first piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it will drive the hollow support rod on the hollow lifting platform to move upward in the Y-axis direction. When the top of the hollow support rod contacts and supports the bottom of the wafer product, the hollow support rod absorbs the bottom of the wafer product. After the hollow support rod lifts the wafer product, the reduction motor is turned off, and structures such as the robot are moved away. After the hollow support rod lifts, supports and absorbs the wafer product, when structures such as the robot are moved away, the hollow support rod can stably support the wafer product, effectively avoiding horizontal displacement or slipping of the wafer product during the removal of structures such as the robot.
[0016] In the present invention, after the staff closes the solenoid valve on the liquid pipe on the first piston assembly and opens the solenoid valve on the liquid pipe on the second piston assembly, the staff starts the reduction motor again and makes the rubber piston on the third piston assembly move downward in the Y-axis direction. At this time, the piston rod on the second piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction. When the piston rod on the second piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it will drive the hollow wafer carrier to move upward in the Y-axis direction. When the top of the hollow wafer carrier contacts and supports the bottom of the wafer product, the hollow wafer carrier absorbs the bottom of the wafer product, and the staff closes the reduction motor and the first ventilation on the hollow lifting platform. The solenoid valve on the pipe, the staff starts the reduction motor again and makes the rubber piston on the third piston assembly move downward in the Y-axis direction. At this time, the piston rod on the second piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction. When the piston rod on the second piston assembly moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it will drive the wafer product on the hollow wafer stage to move to the preset position for deposition. After the hollow wafer stage supports and adsorbs the wafer product, when the hollow wafer stage moves in the Y-axis direction, the hollow wafer stage can provide nearly stable support for the wafer product, further effectively avoiding horizontal displacement or slipping of the wafer product during the removal of structures such as the robot.
[0017] In the present invention, through a series of coordinated arrangements of structures, the movement of the movable plate in the Y-axis direction is realized by driving the rotating shaft to rotate forward or reversely by the reduction motor. The movement of the movable plate in the Y-axis direction will indirectly drive the rubber piston on the third piston assembly to make a piston movement in the Y-axis direction. When the rubber piston on the third piston assembly makes a piston movement in the Y-axis direction, the rubber piston on the first piston assembly or the second piston assembly will make a piston movement in the Y-axis direction. In this driving mode, the lifting or lowering of the wafer product is realized. Compared with the telescopic movement realized by the pump body driving the liquid or gas to flow in the piston assembly, the present invention improves the stability of the liquid flowing in the first piston assembly, the second piston assembly and the third piston assembly, avoids the situation that the pump body drives the liquid or gas to flow in the piston assembly so that the fluctuation of the liquid or gas in the piston assembly is large, which causes the wafer product to be horizontally displaced or slipped during the lifting or lowering process. Compared with the telescopic structure realized by the motor drive such as the electric telescopic rod, the present invention avoids the situation that the vibration generated by the mechanical structure transmission causes the wafer product to be horizontally displaced or slipped during the lifting or lowering process.
[0018] Therefore, it can be seen from the above that the present invention realizes the stable lifting and lowering of the wafer product, and avoids the wafer product from colliding with the robot due to horizontal displacement or sliding of the wafer product during the lifting or lowering process.

In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0033] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a wafer stable lifting device includes a hollow lifting platform 800, a hollow wafer carrier 700 for carrying and adsorbing wafers is arranged directly above the hollow lifting platform 800, and a bottom plate 600 is arranged directly below the hollow lifting platform 800, and a first piston assembly 610 for driving the hollow wafer carrier 700 to move up and down in the Y-axis direction and a second piston assembly 620 for driving the hollow lifting platform 800 to move up and down in the Y-axis direction are installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 600; The surface of the hollow wafer carrier 700 is provided with a first annular partition plate 730 and an air suction hole 720 for adsorbing the wafer. There are four first annular partition plates 730, which are distributed in an annular array. The air suction hole 720 is located on the inner side of the first annular partition plate 730, and the interior of the air suction hole 720 is connected to the interior of the hollow wafer carrier 700. A second annular partition plate 830 is disposed at the center of the surface of the hollow lifting platform 800. A hollow support rod 810 for supporting and adsorbing the wafer is disposed on the upper surface of the hollow lifting platform 800. There are four hollow support rods 810, which are distributed in an annular array, and the interior of the hollow support rods 810 is connected to the interior of the hollow lifting platform 800. The outer side of the base plate 600 is provided with a driving mechanism 200 for driving the first piston assembly 610 and the second piston assembly 620 to perform piston movement and an air suction pump 100 for suctioning the interior of the hollow wafer carrier 700 and the hollow lifting platform 800. When the air suction pump 100 is started to suction the interior of the hollow wafer carrier 700 or the hollow lifting platform 800, the air suction hole 720 or the top opening of the hollow support rod 810 will have a certain suction force.
[0034] The outer walls of the hollow wafer carrier 700 and the hollow lifting platform 800 are both provided with three first sliders 710, and the first sliders 710 are distributed in a ring array, and the other end of the first slider 710 is installed on the first slide rail 631, and the first slider 710 and the first slide rail 631 are slidably connected, and the first slide rail 631 is installed on one side outer wall of the side plate 630, and the side plate 630 is installed at the edge of the upper surface of the bottom plate 600. There are three side plates 630, and the three side plates 630 are distributed in a ring array. The setting of the first slider 710 and the first slide rail 631 enhances the stability of the hollow wafer carrier 700 and the hollow lifting platform 800 when moving in the Y-axis direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the wafer product during lifting and lowering.
[0035] The outer walls of the hollow wafer carrier 700 and the hollow lifting platform 800 are both provided with ventilation pipes 820, and the other ends of the ventilation pipes 820 are connected to the three-way pipe joint 300 through the connecting pipe 500. The three-way pipe joint 300 is installed on the suction end on the outer wall of one side of the suction pump 100, and an electromagnetic valve is provided on the ventilation pipe 820. With the cooperation of the ventilation pipe 820, the three-way pipe joint 300, the connecting pipe 500 and other structures, when the suction pump 100 is started, the gas can circulate in the ventilation pipe 820, the three-way pipe joint 300, the connecting pipe 500 and other structures, so that the suction hole 720 or the top opening of the hollow support rod 810 has a certain suction force.
[0036] The driving mechanism 200 is provided with a moving plate 220, a threaded hole 222 is provided on the surface of the moving plate 220, a rotating shaft 230 is installed in the threaded hole 222, an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 230, and the external thread on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 230 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 222, the top end of the rotating shaft 230 passes through the bearing on the surface of the supporting plate 215 and is connected to the reduction motor 240 through a coupling, the supporting plate 215 is installed above the rear end wall of the mounting plate 212, the reduction motor 240 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting frame 214, and the reduction motor The output shaft on the machine 240 passes through the surface of the mounting frame 214, the mounting frame 214 is installed on the upper surface of the support plate 215, the bottom end of the rotating shaft 230 is installed in the bearing seat 211, and the bearing seat 211 and the mounting plate 212 are both installed on the top of the mounting seat 210, and the bearing seat 211 is located on one side of the mounting plate 212. Because the external thread on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 230 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 222, when the reduction motor 240 is started and drives the rotating shaft 230 to rotate forward or reverse, the moving plate 220 will make a linear motion in the Y-axis direction.
[0037] A second slider 224 is installed on the rear end wall of the movable plate 220, and the other end of the second slider 224 is installed on the second slide rail 213. The second slider 224 and the second slide rail 213 are slidably connected, and the second slide rail 213 is installed on the rear end wall of the mounting plate 212. The setting of the second slider 224 and the second slide rail 213 can play a role of limiting and guiding the movement of the movable plate 220, thereby avoiding the situation that the movable plate 220 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 230. A pointer 223 is installed on one side of the rear end wall of the movable plate 220, and a scale mark 216 is set on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate 212. With the setting of the pointer 223 and the scale mark 216, when the movable plate 220 moves in the Y-axis direction, the staff can control the distance moved by the hollow lifting platform 800 and the hollow wafer carrier 700 by observing the scale mark 216 pointed to by the pointer 223.
[0038] A second connecting plate 221 is installed on the rear end wall of the movable plate 220, and the lower surface of the second connecting plate 221 is connected to the first connecting plate 260 through a shock absorbing assembly 250, and a third piston assembly 270 is installed on the lower surface of the first connecting plate 260. The setting of the shock absorbing assembly 250 allows the shock absorbing assembly 250 to play a role in buffering and shock absorption in the Y-axis direction, thereby preventing the vibration generated during the movement of the reduction motor 240, the rotating shaft 230 and other structures from being transmitted to the third piston assembly 270, thereby causing large fluctuations in the flow of liquid in the third piston assembly 270.
[0039] The first piston assembly 610, the second piston assembly 620 and the third piston assembly 270 are all composed of a piston rod 271, a piston cylinder 272, a rubber piston 273 and a liquid pipe 274. The rubber piston 273 is arranged inside the piston cylinder 272, and the piston rod 271 is installed on the top of the rubber piston 273, and the other end of the piston rod 271 extends to the outside. A liquid pipe 274 is arranged below one side of the outer wall of the piston cylinder 272, and an electromagnetic valve is arranged on the liquid pipe 274.
[0040] A four-way pipe joint 400 is installed on the liquid pipe 274 on the third piston assembly 270 . The four-way pipe joint 400 is connected to the liquid pipes 274 on one first piston assembly 610 and two second piston assemblies 620 through three connecting pipes 500 .
[0041] The piston cylinder 272 on the first piston assembly 610 is installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 600, and the other end of the piston rod 271 on the first piston assembly 610 is installed on the lower surface of the hollow lifting platform 800, the other end of the piston rod 271 on the second piston assembly 620 passes through the second annular partition 830 and is installed on the lower surface of the hollow wafer carrier 700, and the other end of the hollow support rod 810 passes through the first annular partition 730 and extends to the outside.
[0042] During use, when the robot moves the wafer product to the position directly above the hollow wafer carrier 700, the staff starts the reduction motor 240 on the driving mechanism 200 and opens the solenoid valves on the liquid pipes 274 on the first piston assembly 610 and the third piston assembly 270, and starts the suction pump 100 and opens the solenoid valve on the ventilation pipe 820. The reduction motor 240 starts to drive the shaft 230 to rotate forward or reverse. Because the external thread on the outer wall of the shaft 230 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 222, when the shaft 230 rotates forward or reversely, the moving plate 220 will make a linear motion in the Y-axis direction. When the moving plate 220 makes a linear motion in the Y-axis direction, the rubber piston 273 on the third piston assembly 270 will be moved. When the piston moves in the piston cylinder 272 and the staff makes the rubber piston 273 on the third piston assembly 270 move downward in the Y-axis direction, the rubber piston 273 on the third piston assembly 270 compresses the liquid in the piston cylinder 272, causing the fluid to flow into the piston cylinder 272 on the first piston assembly 610. At this time, the piston rod 271 on the first piston assembly 610 moves upward in the Y-axis direction. When the piston rod 271 on the first piston assembly 610 moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it drives the hollow support rod 810 on the hollow lifting platform 800 to move upward in the Y-axis direction. When the top of the hollow support rod 810 contacts and supports the bottom of the wafer product, the hollow support rod 810 adsorbs the wafer. After the staff closes the solenoid valve on the liquid pipe 274 of the first piston assembly 610 and opens the solenoid valve on the liquid pipe 274 of the second piston assembly 620, the staff starts the reduction motor 240 again and makes the rubber piston 273 on the third piston assembly 270 move downward in the Y-axis direction. At this time, the second piston The piston rod 271 on the assembly 620 moves upward in the Y-axis direction. When the piston rod 271 on the second piston assembly 620 moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it will drive the hollow wafer carrier 700 to move upward in the Y-axis direction. When the top of the hollow wafer carrier 700 contacts and supports the bottom of the wafer product, the hollow wafer carrier 700 absorbs the bottom of the wafer product. The staff turns off the reduction motor 240 and the solenoid valve on the first ventilation pipe on the hollow lifting platform 800. The staff starts the reduction motor 240 again and makes the rubber piston 273 on the third piston assembly 270 move downward in the Y-axis direction. At this time, the piston rod 271 on the second piston assembly 620 moves upward in the Y-axis direction.When the piston rod 271 on the second piston assembly 620 moves upward in the Y-axis direction, it will drive the wafer product on the hollow wafer carrier 700 to move to the preset position for deposition. After the hollow wafer carrier 700 supports and adsorbs the wafer product, when the hollow wafer carrier 700 moves in the Y-axis direction, the hollow wafer carrier 700 can provide nearly stable support for the wafer product, further effectively avoiding the horizontal displacement or slipping of the wafer product during the removal of the robot and other structures.
