[0026] Specifically, the base 10 is in the shape of a rectangular block, a first receiving groove 10a is formed at the tail end 12 of the base 10, the first receiving groove 10a is circular, the film expanding device 20 is installed in the first receiving groove 10a, the film expanding device 20 performs film expanding work with liftable movement along the axial direction of the receiving groove, the upper pressing plate assembly 30 also performs liftable movement along the axial direction of the first receiving groove 10a, the film carrier 50 is disposed between the upper pressing plate assembly 30 and the base 10, the film carrier 50 is a blue film steel ring, and the clamping device 40 can grab the film carrier 50 and slide from the head end 11 of the base 10 to the tail end 12 of the base 10.

[0027] When the clamping device 40 clamps one film carrier 50 from a material bin (not shown) and moves along the direction from the tail end 12 towards the head end 11, the film carrier 50 is driven by the clamping device 40 and moves on the upper platen assembly 30 along the same moving direction as the clamping device 40. At this time, the upper platen assembly is at the highest point where it can be lifted and lowered, and the film expanding device 20 is at the lowest point where it can be lifted and lowered. When the clamping device 40 clamps the film carrier 50 to be coaxial with the film expanding device 20, the clamping device 40 releases the film carrier 50 and continues to move to the head end 11. The clamping device 40 stands by at the head end 11. The upper platen assembly 30 fixes the film carrier 50, and the upper platen assembly 30 starts to descend to the lowest point where it can be lifted and lowered. The film expanding device 20 starts to rise to the highest point where it can be lifted and lowered. The film expanding device 20 performs film expanding work on the film carrier 50.

When the first driving synchronous belt 120 rotates, it can drive the cantilever fixing member 42 to move.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first driving motor 110 drives the first driving synchronous pulley 130 to rotate. The first driving synchronous pulley 130 drives the first driving synchronous belt 120 to rotate.

The cover plate 32 is mounted on the top plate 31, and the plurality of first pulleys 33 are rotatably connected to the cover plate 32. The carrier 34 is mounted on one side of the cover plate 32 facing the base 10. The carrier 34 has a resisting surface 34c. The film carrier 50 abuts against the resisting surface 34c. The resisting surface 34c is parallel to the moving direction of the clamping device 40. The carrier 34 is used for receiving the film carrier 50.

[0036] Specifically, the upper pressing plate assembly 30 is arranged perpendicular to the lifting direction of the film expanding device 20. The top plate 31 is in a rectangular block shape. The top plate 31 is arranged in the direction of the orthographic projection of the tail end 12. The top plate 31 is provided with a second receiving groove 30a. The second receiving groove 30a is circular. The second receiving groove 30a and the first receiving groove 10a are coaxially arranged. The cover plate 32 is in an annular boss structure.

The plurality of first pulleys 33 are circumferentially arranged along the circumferential side of the cover plate 32, and the plurality of first pulleys 33 are slidably connected to the first ring track 32a, so that while the plurality of first pulleys 33 fix the cover plate 32, the cover plate 32 can also perform a rotational movement.

[0037] It can be understood that please refer to Figure 5, a pair of the carriers 34 are oppositely arranged on two sides of the cover plate 32. The carrier 34 is fixedly connected to the first ring rail 32a, and the carrier 34 extends along the moving direction of the clamping device 40. The carrier 34 has an L-shaped structure. The carrier 34 further has a carrier main body portion 34a and a carrier extension portion 34b. The abutting surface 34c is located on the surface of the carrier main body portion 34a facing the axis of the film carrier 50. The carrier extension portion 34b is perpendicular to the carrier main body portion 34a. The carrier extension portion 34b extends towards the axis direction of the film carrier 50.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the clamping device 40 grabs the film carrier 50 and moves it from the tail end 12 to the second limiting member 37, the clamping device 40 will drive the film carrier 50 to slide into the second limiting member 37. When the clamping device 40 drives the film carrier 50 to the first limiting member 36, the first limiting member 36 will limit the film carrier 50 from continuing to move. The clamping device 40 releases the template carrier and moves to the head end 11 to wait. By installing a pair of the carriers 34 on the side of the cover plate 32 facing the base 10, the film carrier 50 can be supported.

[0049] Specifically, the outer ring seat 23 is an annular boss structure, one end of the outer ring seat 23 facing the upper pressure plate assembly 30 is received in the first receiving groove 10a, and the end of the outer ring seat 23 away from the upper pressure plate assembly 30 is provided with a second ring rail 23a, and the axial cross-section of the second ring rail 23a is a V-shaped structure, and a plurality of second pulleys 24 are installed on the side of the base 10 away from the upper pressure plate assembly 30, and the plurality of second pulleys 24 are arranged along the circumference of the outer ring seat 23, and the plurality of second pulleys 24 are slidably connected with the second ring rail 23a, so that the plurality of second pulleys 24 are arranged along the circumference of the outer ring seat 23. The two pulleys 24 support the outer ring seat 23 and can also rotate with the outer ring seat 23; the outer ring seat 23 has an inner wall 23c, and the inner wall 23c is provided with a roller positioning hole 23b adapted to the roller 251, and the roller 251 is fixed in the roller positioning hole 23b. The number of the rollers 251 is three and they are evenly installed on the inner wall 23c. The side of the rotating groove 252 close to the film expander 21 is also provided with a roller clamping groove 252, and the roller clamping groove 252 is a horizontal track, and the roller clamping groove 252 is used to accommodate the roller 251;The film expanding device 20 further includes a roller baffle 221. A baffle fixing groove (not shown) is formed on the side of the inner ring seat 22 facing away from the upper pressing plate assembly 30. The roller baffle 221 is installed in the baffle fixing groove and is elastically connected to the inner ring seat 22. The roller baffle 221 and the inner ring seat 22 form a roller receiving groove 221a. The roller receiving groove 221a is semi-circular in shape. The size of the roller receiving groove 221a is adapted to the size of the roller 251. The roller receiving groove 221a and the rotating groove 252 form a connecting portion 221b. The connecting portion 221b is in the shape of a rectangular groove. The connecting portion 221b and the inner ring seat 22 have a spacing smaller than the diameter of the roller 251. When the roller 251 slides to the connecting portion 221b, due to the elastic connection between the roller baffle 221 and the inner ring seat 22, the roller 251 propping up the roller baffle 221, that is, the roller baffle 221 expands toward the side away from the inner ring seat 22. Then the roller 251 continues to slide into the roller receiving groove 221a, and the side of the roller baffle 221 facing the inner ring seat 22 contracts, so that the roller 251 is fixed in the roller receiving groove 221a, that is, the integral synchronization of the inner ring seat 22 and the outer ring seat 23 is realized. The roller 251 slidably connects the outer ring seat 23 and the inner ring seat 22. The film expander 21 has an annular boss structure. The film expander 21 is magnetically connected to one end of the inner ring seat 22 facing the upper pressing plate assembly 30, and one end of the film expander 21 close to the inner ring seat 22 is fixed to the inner ring seat 22 by a pin, so that the film expander 21 rotates with the rotation of the inner ring seat 22, and at the same time, it is convenient for the film expander 21 to be disassembled and assembled from the inner ring seat 22. The structure is simple and stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the film expander 21 can also be fixed to the inner ring seat 22 by bonding, screwing, etc.;

[0050] In this embodiment, by installing the roller 251 on the outer ring seat 23 and forming the rotating groove 252 on the inner ring seat 22, the inner ring seat 22 is slidably connected to the outer ring seat 23. The roller 251 can slide on the rotating groove 252, thereby driving the inner ring seat 22 to move up and down relative to the outer ring seat 23. On the premise that the clamping device 40 can pass between the upper pressing plate assembly 30 and the base 10, a sufficient film expanding lifting height is still maintained to meet the film expanding performance of the wafer.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figures 8 to 9 , the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 further includes a clamping assembly 90. The clamping assembly 90 is arranged on the base 10, and the clamping assembly 90 is used to limit the rotation of the inner ring seat 22.

[0052] The clamping assembly 90 includes a clamping cylinder 91 and a pressure rod 92. The clamping cylinder 91 is fixed on one side of the head end 11 close to the film expanding device 20. The clamping cylinder 91 is in a rectangular block shape. The pressure rod 92 is fixed at one end of the clamping cylinder 91 facing the film expanding device 20. The pressure rod 92 is in a convex shape structure. A second positioning groove 22b is formed on one side of the inner ring seat 22 facing the head end 11. A pair of inserts 93 are installed on the second positioning groove 22b. The inserts 93 are in a rectangular block shape. The pair of inserts 93 are installed at intervals in the second positioning groove 22b. The pressure rod 92 is inserted into the gap between the pair of inserts 93. After the third driving mechanism 300 drives the outer ring seat 23 to rotate to a preset angle, the clamping cylinder 91 pushes the pressure rod 92 to insert into the inserts 93 to prevent the inner ring seat 22 from continuing to rotate.

[0053] Further, the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 further includes a third driving mechanism 300. The third driving mechanism 300 is installed on the base 10. The third driving mechanism 300 controls the rotation of the outer ring seat 23.

[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the third driving mechanism 300 is arranged on one side of the tail end 12 away from the side wall 13. The third driving mechanism 300 includes a third driving motor 310, a third driving synchronous belt 320, a third driving synchronous pulley 330, a third driving rotating shaft 340, an outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 and an outer ring seat synchronous belt 360. One end of the third driving rotating shaft 340 facing the upper pressing plate assembly 30 is wound and connected with the third driving motor 310 through the third driving synchronous belt 320. One end of the third driving rotating shaft 340 facing away from the upper pressing plate is wound and connected with the outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 through the outer ring seat synchronous belt 360. The third driving motor 310 controls the rotation of the third driving synchronous pulley 330. The third driving synchronous pulley 330 drives the third driving rotating shaft 340 to rotate. The rotation of the third driving rotating shaft 340 drives the outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 to rotate. The outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 is fixed on one side of the outer ring seat 23 facing away from the upper pressing plate assembly 30 and is installed on one side of the second ring rail 23a facing away from the inner ring seat 22 by screws to realize the rotation of the outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 driving the outer ring seat 23 to rotate.

[0055] When the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 needs to replace the film carrier 50, the clamping cylinder 91 pushes the pressure rod 92 to insert into the insert block 93 to prevent the inner ring seat 22 from rotating further. The roller 251 is located in the roller receiving groove 221a. The third driving motor 310 controls the rotation of the outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350. The outer ring seat synchronous pulley 350 drives the outer ring seat 23 to rotate. The rotation of the outer ring seat 23 causes the roller 251 to rotate and move from the roller receiving groove 221a to the roller clamping groove 252a. The outer ring seat 23 is fixed relative to the base 10, that is, the inner ring seat 22 descends along the rotation groove 252. At the same time, the pressure rod 92 drops along the gap of the insert block 93, thereby driving the film expander 21 to descend, so that the clamping device 40 can clamp the film carrier 50 and move from the head end 11 to the tail end 12.

[0056] In this embodiment, the third driving mechanism 300 is used to control the rotation of the outer ring seat 23. By driving the inner ring seat 22 to cooperate with the roller 251 to move up and down along the rotation groove 252, the efficient and convenient lifting movement of the film expanding device 20 on the base 10 is realized. Thus, when the clamping device 40 can shuttle between the upper pressing plate assembly 30 and the film expanding device 20, it can still maintain a sufficient film expanding lifting height to ensure the film expanding performance of the wafer and improve the stability of the wafer processing.

[0057] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 further includes an encoder 70. The encoder 70 is installed at one end of the tail end 12 close to the side wall 13. An encoder synchronous pulley (not shown) is installed at one end of the encoder 70 facing away from the upper pressing plate assembly 30. The encoder synchronous pulley is slidably connected to the outer ring seat synchronous belt 360. The encoder 70 can read the rotation angle of the third driving synchronous pulley 330, that is, the encoder 70 can feedback the rotation angle of the third driving synchronous pulley 330 each time. Then, the staff can adjust or change the angle of the film carrier 50 based on the feedback of the encoder 70 combined with the actual requirements.

[0058] Further, please refer to Figure 8 , the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 further includes a connecting device 80. One end of the connecting device 80 is fixed to the cover plate 32, and the other end of the connecting device 80 is fixed to the film expanding device 20, so that when the film expanding device 20 rotates, the film expanding device 20 drives the cover plate 32 to rotate synchronously.

[0059] Specifically, the connecting device 80 includes a connecting rod 81, a connecting bearing 82, and a positioning seat 83. One end of the connecting rod 81 is fixed on the top plate 31. The inner ring seat 22 is provided with a first positioning groove 22a at the end facing the film expander 21. The positioning seat 83 is fixed in the first positioning groove 22a by screws. The connecting bearing 82 is installed in the positioning seat 83. The connecting bearing 82 is sleeved on the other end of the connecting rod 81. The connecting rod 81 is in clearance fit with the connecting bearing 82 to facilitate the lifting of the connecting rod 81 in the connecting bearing 82. When the third driving mechanism 300 drives the film expanding device 20 to rotate, the film expanding device 20 can drive the cover plate 32 to rotate in the second receiving groove 30a to achieve the synchronous rotation of the film expanding device 20 and the cover plate 32.

[0060] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 further includes a moving device 400. The moving device 400 includes a first mover 410 and a second mover 420. The first mover 410 moves in the first direction X, and the second mover 420 moves in the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The second direction Y is the direction from the head end to the tail end. The first mover 410 is arranged on the side of the head end facing away from the upper pressing plate assembly. One end of the base facing the first mover 410 is provided with a first slider (not shown). One end of the first mover 410 facing the base is provided with a first slide rail (not shown). The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail to enable the base to move in one direction. The second mover 420 is arranged on the side of the first mover 410 facing away from the base. One end of the first mover 410 facing the second mover 420 is provided with a second slider. One end of the second mover 420 facing the first mover 410 is provided with a second slide rail. The second slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail to enable the first mover 410 to move on the second mover 420, thereby driving the base to move in the second direction Y.

[0061] In this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9, when the wafer mounting and feeding device 1 starts to work, the clamping device 40 clamps the film carrier 50 from the material bin. The material bin is located on one side close to the tail end 12. The first driving mechanism 100 controls the clamping device 40 to clamp the film carrier 50 and move in the direction from the tail end 12 towards the head end 11. The film carrier 50 moves into the carrier 34 along the extending direction of the guiding member 35. The first limiting member 36 and the second limiting member 37 fix the film carrier 50 in the carrier 34. The clamping device 40 releases the film carrier 50 and continues to move to the head end 11 to standby; at this time, the upper pressing plate assembly 30 is at the highest point where it can rise by itself, the film expanding device 20 is at the lowest point where it can descend by itself, the pressing rod 92 is always clamped in the gap of the insert block 93, and the distance between the upper pressing plate assembly 30 and the film expanding device 20 can satisfy the movement of the clamping device 40; when the film carrier 50 is fixed on the upper pressing plate assembly 30, the third driving mechanism 300 controls the outer ring seat 23 to rotate. The rotation of the outer ring seat 23 drives the inner ring seat 22 to rise. At this time, the roller 251 is in the roller slot 252a. As the outer ring seat 23 rotates, the roller 251 slides and descends along the rotating slot 252 from the roller slot 252a. The roller 251 will slide and descend into the roller receiving slot 221a in the roller baffle 221, that is, the inner ring seat 22 rises towards the upper pressing plate assembly 30, and the film expander 21 rises synchronously with the inner ring seat 22. Then the second driving mechanism 200 controls the lifting device 60 to descend towards the base 10 to the lowest point where it can descend, that is, the film expander 21 jacks up the middle area of the film carrier 50 towards the upper pressing plate assembly 30 to achieve the purpose of tensioning the blue film in the film carrier 50. When the film expander 21 finishes the film expanding work, the pressing rod 92 retracts into the clamping cylinder 91, that is, the clamping assembly 90 stops abutting against the inner ring seat 22. Since the connecting rod 81 is connected to the connecting bearing 82, the rotation of the inner ring seat 22 drives the cover plate 32 to rotate. The staff can adjust the rotation angle of the wafer through the feedback of the encoder 70, and finally proceed to the next process step.

[0062] In this application, by integrating the clamping device 40 with the film expanding device 20 and the upper platen assembly 30, the upper platen assembly 30 can rise and the film expanding device 20 can descend, enabling the clamping device 40 to move back and forth between the upper platen assembly 30 and the film expanding device 20. Moreover, the problem that the upper platen assembly 30 needs to open for material feeding is avoided, ensuring the balance of the film expanding tension. Meanwhile, the problem of externally arranging the clamping device 40 in the traditional design is solved, reducing the space occupied by the clamping device 40 and improving the working efficiency of the wafer mounting and feeding device 1.

[0063] As described above, the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
