[0048] As Figure 1-8 shown, this embodiment discloses a cleaning device, which includes a frame, two first cleaning mechanisms 1 and a second cleaning mechanism 2.

[0049] The two first cleaning mechanisms 1 are arranged on the frame at intervals and slidably. The first cleaning mechanism 1 can move relative to the frame along a horizontal first direction. The first cleaning mechanism 1 includes a first driving component 11 and a first cleaning head 12. The first driving component 11 can drive the first cleaning head 12 to clean the silicon wafer. The second cleaning mechanism 2 is slidably arranged on the frame and is located between the two first cleaning mechanisms 1. The second cleaning mechanism 2 can move relative to the frame along the horizontal first direction. The second cleaning mechanism 2 includes a second driving component 21 and a second cleaning head 22. The second cleaning mechanism 2 can drive the second cleaning head 22 to clean the suction cup.

[0050] The first cleaning mechanism 1 cleans the silicon wafer. After the silicon wafer is cleaned, the second cleaning mechanism 2 can clean the suction cup. This cleaning device can clean the silicon wafer to ensure the cleanliness of the silicon wafer. By cleaning the suction cup, the cleanliness of the suction cup can be ensured, and it can effectively avoid the influence of dust adhered to the suction cup on the grinding accuracy of the next silicon wafer. The second cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged between the two first cleaning mechanisms 1 and can clean the two suction cups by moving left and right. For the two first cleaning mechanisms 1, while the silicon wafer on the left suction cup is being ground, the silicon wafer and the suction cup on the right suction cup are cleaned. When the silicon wafer on the left needs to be cleaned after grinding is completed, the silicon wafer on the right also starts to be ground; the two suction cups can ensure that one is grinding the silicon wafer at any time, improving the working time of the grinding device and increasing the effective grinding efficiency of the grinding device. Moreover, this cleaning device has a simple structure, is convenient to operate, and has a high cleaning efficiency.

[0051] The first cleaning head 12 includes a first frame and a first brush. The first brush is disposed on the first frame. The rotation of the first frame enables the first brush to clean the surface of the silicon wafer, removing the dust generated by grinding to complete the cleaning of the silicon wafer. Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the first driving assembly 11 includes a first mounting bracket 111 and a first driving member 112. The first driving member 112 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 111. The first cleaning head 12 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting bracket 111. The output end of the first driving member 112 is in transmission connection with the first cleaning head 12. The first driving member 112 can drive the first cleaning head 12 to rotate, so that the first brush of the first cleaning head 12 cleans the silicon wafer.

[0052] More specifically, the first driving assembly 11 further includes a first synchronous pulley 113, a third synchronous pulley 114, a first connecting shaft 115 and a first synchronous belt 116. The output end of the first driving member 112 is provided with the first synchronous pulley 113. The first frame of the first cleaning head 12 is provided with the first connecting shaft 115. The two ends of the first connecting shaft 115 are rotatably connected to the first mounting bracket 111 through bearings. The third synchronous pulley 114 is disposed on the first connecting shaft 115. The first synchronous pulley 113 and the third synchronous pulley 114 are in transmission connection through the first synchronous belt 116. Preferably, both the first synchronous pulley 113 and the third synchronous pulley 114 in this embodiment are toothed belt pulleys, and the first synchronous belt 116 is a toothed belt. Such a setting ensures that there is no slippage between the first synchronous pulley 113 and the first synchronous belt 116 and between the third synchronous pulley 114 and the first synchronous belt 116, guaranteeing the transmission efficiency. Optionally, the first driving assembly 11 further includes a first tensioning pulley 117. The first tensioning pulley 117 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting bracket 111. The first tensioning pulley 117 presses against the outer surface of the first synchronous belt 116. The setting of the first tensioning pulley 117 ensures that there is no slippage between the first synchronous pulley 113 and the first synchronous belt 116 and between the second synchronous pulley 213 and the first synchronous belt 116, guaranteeing the transmission efficiency. The first driving member 112 drives the first synchronous pulley 113 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 113 drives the third synchronous pulley 114 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 116, and then drives the first connecting shaft 115 to rotate, so as to drive the first cleaning head 12 to rotate, so that the first brush of the first cleaning head 12 cleans the silicon wafer.

[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first cleaning mechanism 1 further includes a first translation mechanism 13 and a first lifting mechanism 14. The first lifting mechanism 14 is slidably arranged on the frame. The first translation mechanism 13 is arranged at the output end of the first lifting mechanism 14, and the first lifting mechanism 14 can drive the first translation mechanism 13 to move in the vertical direction. The first mounting bracket 111 is arranged at the output end of the first translation mechanism 13, and the first translation mechanism 13 can drive the first mounting bracket 111 to move in the horizontal second direction. The horizontal first direction and the horizontal second direction are perpendicularly arranged.

[0054] Specifically, a rodless cylinder 15 is arranged on the frame along the horizontal first direction, and the output end of the rodless cylinder 15 can move along the horizontal first direction. The first lifting mechanism 14 includes a first support frame, a first servo motor 141, a first lead screw and a first nut. The first support frame is arranged at the output end of the rodless cylinder 15. A first guide rail is arranged on the frame, and a first guide block slidably matched with the first guide rail is arranged on the first support frame. The rodless cylinder 15 can drive the first support frame to move along the first guide rail in the horizontal first direction. The first servo motor 141 is arranged on the first support frame, the first lead screw is rotatably arranged on the first support frame in the vertical direction, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 141 is in transmission connection with the first lead screw. Specifically, it can be in transmission connection through a coupling or a gear assembly. The first nut is screwed on the first lead screw.

[0055] The first translation mechanism 13 includes a third support frame, a third servo motor 131, a third lead screw and a third nut. The first nut is arranged on the third support frame. The first support frame is provided with a first slide rail 132 in the vertical direction, and a first slide block matched with the first slide rail 132 is arranged on the third support frame. The first servo motor 141 can drive the first lead screw to rotate, so as to drive the third support frame to move up and down along the first slide rail 132.

[0056] The third servo motor 131 is arranged on the third support frame, the third lead screw is rotatably arranged on the third support frame, and the third nut is screwed on the third lead screw. A third slide rail 142 is arranged on the third support frame along the horizontal second direction, a third slide block slidably matched with the third slide rail 142 is arranged on the first mounting bracket 111, and the third nut is arranged on the first mounting bracket 111. The third servo motor 131 can drive the third lead screw to rotate, so as to drive the first mounting bracket 111 to move in the horizontal second direction.

[0057] The rodless cylinder 15 can drive the first support frame to move in the horizontal first direction; the first servo motor 141 can drive the third support frame to move up and down along the first slide rail 132; the third servo motor 131 can drive the first mounting bracket 111 to move in the horizontal second direction. The cooperation of the three can drive the first cleaning head 12 of the first cleaning mechanism 1 to move in any direction in space, so as to clean the silicon wafer and move it away after cleaning the silicon wafer for subsequent processing and cleaning.

[0058] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the second cleaning head 22 includes a second frame, a carrier and a second brush. The second brush is disposed on the second frame. The second frame and the carrier are slidably connected through a sliding shaft, and a spring is disposed between them. The spring is sleeved on the sliding shaft. The rotation of the second frame can make the second brush clean the surface of the suction cup, and sweep away the dust generated by grinding, so as to complete the cleaning of the suction cup. The second driving assembly 21 includes a second mounting bracket 211 and a second driving member 212. The second driving member 212 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 211. The second cleaning head 22 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket 211. The output end of the second driving member 212 is in transmission connection with the second cleaning head 22. The second driving member 212 can drive the second cleaning head 22 to operate to clean the suction cup.

[0059] More specifically, the second driving assembly 21 further includes a second synchronous pulley 213, a fourth synchronous pulley 214, a second connecting shaft 215 and a second synchronous belt 216. The output end of the second driving member 212 is provided with the second synchronous pulley 213. The carrier of the second cleaning head 22 is provided with the second connecting shaft 215. Both ends of the second connecting shaft 215 are rotatably connected to the second mounting bracket 211 through bearings. The second connecting shaft 215 is provided with the fourth synchronous pulley 214. The second synchronous pulley 213 and the fourth synchronous pulley 214 are in transmission connection through the second synchronous belt 216. Preferably, both the second synchronous pulley 213 and the fourth synchronous pulley 214 in this embodiment are toothed belt pulleys, and the second synchronous belt 216 is a toothed belt. Such a setting makes it impossible for the second synchronous pulley 213 and the second synchronous belt 216 and between the fourth synchronous pulley 214 and the second synchronous belt 216 to slip, ensuring the transmission efficiency. Optionally, the second driving assembly 21 further includes a second tension pulley 217. The second tension pulley 217 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket 211. The second tension pulley 217 presses against the outer surface of the second synchronous belt 216. The setting of the second tension pulley 217 makes it impossible for the second synchronous pulley 213 and the second synchronous belt 216 and between the fourth synchronous pulley 214 and the second synchronous belt 216 to slip, ensuring the transmission efficiency. The first driving member 112 drives the first synchronous pulley 113 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 113 drives the third synchronous pulley 114 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 116, and then drives the first connecting shaft 115 to rotate, so as to drive the first cleaning head 12 to rotate, so that the first brush of the first cleaning head 12 cleans the silicon wafer.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second cleaning mechanism 2 further includes a second translation mechanism 23 and a second lifting mechanism 24. The second lifting mechanism 24 is slidably arranged on the frame. The second translation mechanism 23 is arranged at the output end of the second lifting mechanism 24, and the second lifting mechanism 24 can drive the second translation mechanism 23 to move in the vertical direction. The second mounting bracket 211 is arranged at the output end of the second translation mechanism 23, and the second translation mechanism 23 can drive the second mounting bracket 211 to move in the horizontal second direction.

[0061] Specifically, a driving servo motor 251 is arranged on the frame along the horizontal first direction. The driving servo motor 251 can drive the second lifting mechanism 24 to move in the horizontal first direction. The second lifting mechanism 24 includes a second support frame, a second servo motor 241, a second lead screw and a second nut. A second guide rail 252 is arranged on the frame (the second guide rail 252 can be collinear with the first guide rail or just be arranged in parallel). A second guide block slidably matched with the second guide rail 252 is arranged on the second support frame. A driving lead screw is arranged on the output shaft of the driving servo motor 251, and a driving nut is arranged on the second support frame. The driving servo motor 251 drives the driving lead screw to rotate so as to drive the second support frame to move in the horizontal first direction on the second guide rail 252. The second servo motor 241 is arranged on the second support frame. The second lead screw is rotatably arranged on the second support frame in the vertical direction. The output shaft of the second servo motor 241 is in transmission connection with the second lead screw. Specifically, it can be in transmission connection through a coupling or a gear assembly. The second nut is screwed on the second lead screw.

[0062] The second translation mechanism 23 includes a fourth support frame, a fourth servo motor 231, a fourth lead screw and a fourth nut. The second nut is arranged on the fourth support frame. The second support frame is provided with a second slide rail 232 in the vertical direction. A second slider matched with the second slide rail 232 is arranged on the fourth support frame. The second servo motor 241 can drive the second lead screw to rotate so as to drive the fourth support frame to move up and down along the second slide rail 232.

[0063] The fourth servo motor 231 is arranged on the fourth support frame. The fourth lead screw is rotatably arranged on the fourth support frame. The fourth nut is screwed on the fourth lead screw. A fourth slide rail 242 is arranged on the fourth support frame along the horizontal second direction. A fourth slider slidably matched with the fourth slide rail 242 is arranged on the second mounting bracket 211. The fourth nut is arranged on the second mounting bracket 211. The fourth servo motor 231 can drive the fourth lead screw to rotate so as to drive the second mounting bracket 211 to move in the horizontal second direction.

[0064] The driving servo motor 251 can drive the second support frame to move along the horizontal first direction; the second servo motor 241 can drive the fourth support frame to move up and down along the second slide rail 232; the fourth servo motor 231 can drive the second mounting bracket 211 to move along the horizontal second direction. The cooperation of the three can drive the second cleaning head 22 of the second cleaning mechanism 2 to move in any direction in space to clean the suction cup and move it away after cleaning the suction cup for subsequent processing and cleaning.

[0065] After the manipulator finishes loading the left and right suction cups successively, the suction cup on the left finishes grinding first. After the grinding device is removed, the rodless cylinder 15 drives the first support frame to move along the horizontal first direction, the first servo motor 141 drives the third support frame to move along the first slide rail 132, and the third servo motor 131 drives the first mounting bracket 111 to move along the horizontal second direction. The cooperation of the three drives the first cleaning head 12 of the first cleaning mechanism 1 corresponding to the suction cup on the left to move above the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the left. Then the first driving member 112 drives the first synchronous wheel 113 to rotate, and the first synchronous wheel 113 drives the third synchronous wheel 114 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 116, thereby driving the first cleaning head 12 to rotate so that the first brush of the first cleaning head 12 cleans the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the left.

[0066] After the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the left is cleaned, the rodless cylinder 15, the first servo motor 141, and the third servo motor 131 cooperate to move the first cleaning head 12 corresponding to the suction cup on the left away to give way to the second cleaning mechanism 2. Then the manipulator vacuum-adsorbs the silicon wafer, de-vacuumizes the silicon wafer, and then moves the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the left away.

[0067] Then, the driving servo motor 251 drives the second support frame to move along the horizontal first direction, the second servo motor 241 drives the fourth support frame to move along the second slide rail 232, and the fourth servo motor 231 drives the second mounting bracket 211 to move along the horizontal second direction. The cooperation of the three drives the second cleaning head 22 of the second cleaning mechanism 2 to move above the suction cup on the left. Then the second driving member 212 drives the second synchronous wheel 213 to rotate, and the second synchronous wheel 213 drives the third synchronous wheel 214 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 216, thereby driving the second cleaning head 22 to rotate so that the second brush of the second cleaning head 22 cleans the suction cup on the left.

[0068] During the cleaning of the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the left and the suction cup on the left, the silicon wafer on the suction cup on the right is being ground; after the cleaning of the suction cup on the left is completed, the driving servo motor 251, the second servo motor 241, and the fourth servo motor 231 cooperate to move the second cleaning head 22 away to give way. The manipulator grabs the unground silicon wafer and places it on the suction cup on the left, and the grinding device on the left grinds the silicon wafer.

[0069] When the cleaning of the left suction cup is completed, the grinding of the silicon wafer on the right suction cup is completed. The grinding device on the right is removed to make way. The rodless cylinder 15 drives the first support frame to move along the horizontal first direction. The first servo motor 141 drives the third support frame to move along the first slide rail 132. The third servo motor 131 drives the first mounting frame 111 to move along the horizontal second direction. The three cooperate to drive the first cleaning head 12 of the first cleaning mechanism 1 corresponding to the right suction cup to move above the silicon wafer on the right suction cup. Then, the first driving member 112 drives the first synchronous pulley 113 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 113 drives the third synchronous pulley 114 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 116, thereby driving the first cleaning head 12 to rotate, so that the first brush of the first cleaning head 12 cleans the silicon wafer on the right suction cup.

[0070] After the cleaning of the silicon wafer on the right suction cup is completed, the rodless cylinder 15, the first servo motor 141 and the third servo motor 131 cooperate to remove the first cleaning head 12 corresponding to the right suction cup to make way for the second cleaning mechanism 2. Then, the manipulator vacuum-adsorbs the silicon wafer. After the silicon wafer is de-vacuumed, the silicon wafer on the right suction cup is removed.

[0071] Then, the driving servo motor 251 drives the second support frame to move along the horizontal first direction. The second servo motor 241 drives the fourth support frame to move along the second slide rail 232. The fourth servo motor 231 drives the second mounting frame 211 to move along the horizontal second direction. The three cooperate to drive the second cleaning head 22 of the second cleaning mechanism 2 to move above the right suction cup. Then, the second driving member 212 drives the second synchronous pulley 213 to rotate. The second synchronous pulley 213 drives the third synchronous pulley 214 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 216, thereby driving the second cleaning head 22 to rotate, so that the second brush of the second cleaning head 22 cleans the right suction cup.

[0072] When the cleaning of the right suction cup is completed, the grinding of the silicon wafer on the left suction cup is basically completed. Then, the silicon wafer and the left suction cup on the left suction cup are cleaned. This process continues in turn.

[0073] The two suction cups can ensure that one of them is grinding the silicon wafer at any time, which improves the working time of the grinding device and increases the effective grinding efficiency of the grinding device. Moreover, the cleaning device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has high cleaning efficiency.
