Description

Technical Field

[0002] Silicon, comprising 25.8% of the Earth's crust, provides an inexhaustible source for silicon production. As one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust, silicon's abundance is one of the reasons it has become a primary material in photovoltaics, particularly for products like solar cells destined for large-scale market entry.

[0003] Modern silicon wafer dicing equipment typically includes a dicing component and a cooling component. The cooling component sprays coolant onto the dicing component to cool it down. The sprayed coolant then falls into a collection tank located below the dicing component for collection and filtration before entering the cooling component. Conventional filters typically use screens to filter the waste liquid, preventing impurities from entering the cooling component. However, this can easily clog the screens, increasing the frequency of maintenance and cleaning. Therefore, a coolant circulation device for silicon wafer dicing is needed to reduce the frequency of screen cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1) After the waste liquid is filtered by the filter plate, it flows to the inclined plate below the filter plate. Impurities are filtered onto the upper wall of the filter plate. The drive mechanism is activated, causing the connecting plate to move the push plate and filter plate back and forth. The push plate pushes down and squeezes the waste liquid located at the bottom of the inclined plate, allowing the waste liquid to flow along the push plate to the top of the filter plate. The waste liquid that initially falls onto the inclined plate is then filtered. Then, as the filter plate moves backward, it moves into the collection box. The scraper cleans the upper surface of the filter plate, causing impurities to fall onto the inclined plate below the push plate. This delays filter plate clogging and reduces the frequency of filter plate cleaning and replacement. Impurities are then pushed by the push plate to the bottom of the inclined plate for accumulation and collection. At the same time, as the connecting plate moves backward, it pushes the filtered waste liquid located below the filter plate into the drain pipe, which then flows into the cooling box, achieving the effect of collecting and cooling the filtered waste liquid.

[0016] 2) After the filtered waste liquid flows into the cooling tank, the cooling water flows into the cooling pipe, so that the cooling pipe can absorb the heat of the waste liquid in the cooling tank and cool down the waste liquid in the cooling tank. The water pump is started to pump the filtered waste liquid into the connecting pipe and flow into the branch pipe, and finally spray it onto the cutting component from the nozzle, so as to achieve the effect of recycling the coolant.
