Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of wafer dicing machines, in particular to a mechanical hand material clamping device of a wafer dicing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] A mechanical hand material clamping device for a semiconductor wafer dicing machine is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN218365806U. The device is driven by an upper and lower air cylinder to move the linear optical axis downward, thereby driving the rotating assembly and the material lifting assembly to descend to the position of the material workpiece disc. Then, the rotating air cylinder drives the rotating disc to rotate, so that the connecting rod slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove to the center of the rotating disc and drives the material lifting clamp to clamp the workpiece disc. After that, the upper and lower air cylinders drive the rotating assembly and the material lifting assembly to rise to a certain position, and the material is transported to the designated cutting workbench through the material pushing device connected to the upper and lower air cylinders. The upper and lower air cylinders again drive the rotating assembly and the material lifting assembly to descend to the designated cutting workbench position. The rotating air cylinder drives the rotating disc to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the connecting rod slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove to the outer periphery of the rotating disc and drives the material lifting clamp to release the workpiece disc. Finally, the upper and lower air cylinders drive the rotating assembly and the material lifting assembly to rise and then return to the original position with the material pushing device. The above-mentioned device has the following disadvantages: the material pushing device is driven by the upper and lower air cylinders and the rotating assembly to move the material lifting assembly once, and only then can the material workpiece disc be clamped and transported once, which is slow and reduces the processing efficiency of the semiconductor wafer dicing machine.

Before use, the initial position of one clamping mechanism 2 is above the material to be clamped, and the initial position of the other clamping mechanism 2 is above the material to be released, that is, one clamping mechanism 2 is about to clamp the material, and the other clamping mechanism 2 is about to release the material; during use, the linear drive mechanism 1 drives the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move synchronously and relatively through the rotary direction adjusting mechanisms 3, and the rotary direction adjusting mechanisms 3 are used to rotate the clamping mechanisms 2 in a staggered manner while the clamping mechanisms 2 move horizontally, so as to avoid collision between the two clamping mechanisms 2; after the two clamping mechanisms 2 reach the designated position, the lifting mechanism 4 drives the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move downward synchronously, then one clamping mechanism 2 clamps the material and the other clamping mechanism 2 releases the material, then the two clamping mechanisms 2 are reset synchronously, then the linear drive mechanism 1 drives the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move back through the rotary direction adjusting mechanisms 3, and the rotary direction adjusting mechanisms 3 rotate the clamping mechanisms 2 synchronously at the same time, after the two clamping mechanisms 2 are reset, the lifting mechanism 4 drives the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move downward synchronously, then one clamping mechanism 2 clamps the material and the other clamping mechanism 2 clamps the material, then the two clamping mechanisms 2 are reset synchronously, so that the linear drive mechanism 1 drives the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move back and forth once, which can realize clamping and transferring of the material twice, and effectively improve the processing efficiency of the wafer dicing machine on the material workpiece disc. Specific embodiment two:

[0030] On the basis of specific embodiment one, as Figures 3-5As shown, the linear driving mechanism 1 comprises a pair of symmetrically vertically arranged side support columns 101; the upper ends of the two side support columns 101 are respectively connected to a semiconductor wafer dicing machine through screws; the lower ends of the two side support columns 101 are connected through a first support plate strip 102; the first support plate strip 102 is connected with the side support columns 101 through screws; the upper surface of the first support plate strip 102 is horizontally fixed with a first air cylinder 103 parallel thereto; the first air cylinder 103 is a conventional element in the art; the output end of the first air cylinder 103 penetrates through one side support column 101, and the output end of the first air cylinder 103 is in clearance fit with the side support column 101; the lower surface of one end of the first support plate strip 102 is rotatably connected with a vertically arranged mounting shaft 104; the mounting shaft 104 is fixedly sleeved with a first gear 105; the first gear 105 is engaged with a pair of transmission racks 106 parallel to the first support plate strip 102; the two transmission racks 106 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first support plate strip 102; one end of one transmission rack 106 is connected with the output end of the first air cylinder 103 through a driving plate strip 107; the driving plate strip 107 is respectively connected with one transmission rack 106 and the output end of the first air cylinder 103 through screws; the upper surfaces of the two transmission racks 106 are both provided with directional grooves 108 along the length direction; the cross section of the directional groove 108 along the vertical direction to the length direction is in a "⊥" type structure; the two directional grooves 108 are both slidably connected with sliders 109; the two sliders 109 are respectively connected with the opposite ends of the first support plate strip 102 through screws, and the two sliders 109 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first support plate strip 102. In use, the output end of the first air cylinder 103 is extended to drive one transmission rack 106 to move linearly through the driving plate strip 107, since the two transmission racks 106 are both engaged with the first gear 105, the two transmission racks 106 are caused to move relatively, so as to realize the relative movement of the two clamping mechanisms 2. Specific embodiment three:

[0032] On the basis of the specific embodiment two, as Figures 6-9As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 comprises a horizontally arranged bearing plate 201; four sides of the bearing plate 201 are each vertically fixed with a support rail 202; the support rail 202 is connected to the bearing plate 201 through an L-shaped piece and a bolt piece; a guide sleeve 203 is slidingly sleeved on each of the four support rails 202; a mounting column 204 in a "「" type structure is screw-fixed on the lower surface of the guide sleeve 203; a positioning piece 205 is horizontally fixed on the lower end of the mounting column 204; a clamping piece 206 is parallelly arranged below the positioning piece 205; the end portion of the clamping piece 206 close to the bearing plate 201 is chamfered; a clamping space for materials is formed between the clamping piece 206 and the positioning piece 205; a pair of connecting columns 207 are vertically fixed on one edge of the clamping piece 206; the two connecting columns 207 are slidingly inserted on the edge of the positioning piece 205 away from the bearing plate 201; the two connecting columns 207 are arranged on opposite sides of the guide sleeve 203; a square-shaped accommodating opening 208 is formed on the upper surface of the bearing plate 201; a second air cylinder 209 vertically arranged is fixed and inserted in the accommodating opening 208; the second air cylinder 209 is a conventional element in the art, and is connected to the bearing plate 201 through an L-shaped piece and a bolt piece; a transmission block 210 is horizontally fixed on the output end of the second air cylinder 209; a push-pull rod 211 corresponding to the guide sleeve 203 is rotationally connected to each of the four sides of the transmission block 210; one end of the push-pull rod 211 is rotationally connected to the upper surface of the guide sleeve 203; a support piece 212 is vertically fixed on the end of the support rail 202 away from the bearing plate 201; a T-shaped structure is formed between the support piece 212 and the support rail 202; an extension bar 213 parallel to the support rail 202 is fixed on the lower edge of the support piece 212 in parallel; a magnet 214 is fixed on the lower surface of the end portion of each of the two extension bars 213 close to the bearing plate 201; an iron block 215 is arranged below each of the two magnets 214; the iron block 215 is fixed on the upper end of each of the two connecting columns 207; the lower surface of the iron block 215 and the upper surface of the positioning piece 205 are connected through a first spring 216.When the clamping mechanism 2 reaches the clamping position, the output end of the second air cylinder 209 extends upward to drive the transmission block 210 to move upward, so that the four push-pull rods 211 pull the four guide sleeves 203 to move synchronously toward the bearing plate 201, so that the clamping pieces 206 move to the lower side of the material edge to realize the lifting operation. Then the transmission block 210 continues to pull the four guide sleeves 203 toward the bearing plate 201 through the four push-pull rods 211, so that the iron blocks 215 approach the magnets 214, and then the iron blocks 215 are attracted to the magnets 214 under the magnetic attraction of the magnets 214, so that the connecting column 207 drives the clamping pieces 206 to move upward, thereby realizing the positioning of the material between the clamping pieces 206 and the positioning pieces 205, and ensuring that the material is always in a stable state during rotation. When the clamping mechanism 2 reaches the discharging position, the output end of the second air cylinder 209 is retracted downward to drive the transmission block 210 to move downward, so that the four push-pull rods 211 pull the four guide sleeves 203 to move synchronously away from the bearing plate 201, so that the iron blocks 215 deviate from the magnets 214, and then the clamping pieces 206 move downward under the elastic action of the first springs 216, and then the transmission block 210 continues to pull the four guide sleeves 203 away from the bearing plate 201 through the four push-pull rods 211, so that the clamping pieces 206 deviate from the material, thereby realizing the release operation of the material. Specific embodiment four:

[0034] On the basis of specific embodiment three, as Figures 4-5 and Figure 10As shown, the rotating direction adjusting mechanism 3 comprises a positioning strip 301 arranged in parallel below the first support strip 102; the opposite sides of the positioning strip 301 are both provided with a plurality of first teeth 302 and a plurality of second teeth 303 arranged side by side; the upper surface of one end of the positioning strip 301 is rotationally connected with the lower end of the mounting shaft 104; the upper surface of the other end of the positioning strip 301 is connected with the lower surface of the first support strip 102 through a suspension column 304; the suspension column 304 is respectively connected with the positioning strip 301 and the first support strip 102 through screws; the opposite sides of the positioning strip 301 are both horizontally provided with second gears 305 which can be engaged with the first teeth 302 or the second teeth 303; the lower surfaces of the two second gears 305 are respectively connected with the upper surfaces of the two bearing plates 201 through a pair of vertically arranged bearing columns 306; the bearing columns 306 are respectively connected with the second gears 305 and the bearing plates 201 through screws; the bearing columns 306 are respectively arranged at the edges of the second gears 305 and the edges of the bearing plates 201; the upper surfaces of the two second gears 305 are both screw-connected with coaxially arranged movable columns 307; the outer peripheries of the two movable columns 307 are both movably sleeved with connecting blocks 308; the connecting blocks 308 are composed of rotating sleeves and limiting blocks; the rotating sleeves are slidably sleeved on the outer peripheries of the movable columns 307; the movable columns 307 slide along the axial direction of the rotating sleeves; the rotating sleeves are rotationally inserted into the limiting blocks; the rotating sleeves and the limiting blocks are connected through roller bearings; the two connecting blocks 308 are respectively connected with the same ends of the two transmission racks 106 through screws, and the connecting blocks 308 and the driving strip 107 are respectively arranged at the opposite ends of one transmission rack 106.When the two clamping mechanisms 2 are about to clamp and release materials respectively, the two bearing plates 201 are respectively located right below the two ends of the first supporting strip 102, that is, the arrangement direction of the two bearing plates 201 is parallel to the length direction of the first supporting strip 102. At this time, one second gear 305 is engaged with the first tooth 302 at one end of the positioning strip 301, and the other second gear 305 is engaged with the second tooth 303 at the other end of the positioning strip 301. Then, in the process of driving the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move similarly by the linear driving mechanism 1, the two second gears 305 roll on the positioning strip 301 respectively, so as to drive the two clamping mechanisms 2 to rotate horizontally by the bearing column 306. When one second gear 305 is just disengaged from the first tooth 302 at one end of the positioning strip 301 and the other second gear 305 is just disengaged from the second tooth 303 at the other end of the positioning strip 301, the two clamping mechanisms 2 rotate horizontally by 180° respectively. At this time, the two clamping mechanisms 2 are farthest from each other (without any interference), and then, as the two clamping mechanisms 2 are continuously driven by the linear driving mechanism 1, one second gear 305 is engaged with the second tooth 303 at the other end of the positioning strip 301 and the other second gear 305 is engaged with the first tooth 302 at one end of the positioning strip 301. Then, the two clamping mechanisms 2 are continuously driven by the linear driving mechanism 1, so that the two second gears 305 roll on the positioning strip 301 respectively. When one second gear 305 moves to the other end of the positioning strip 301 and the other second gear 305 moves to one end of the positioning strip 301, the two clamping mechanisms 2 rotate horizontally by 180° respectively. At this time, the two bearing plates 201 are respectively located right below the two ends of the first supporting strip 102, that is, the clamping mechanism 2 corresponding to one second gear 305 moves to the position right above the released material, and the clamping mechanism 2 corresponding to the other second gear 305 moves to the position right above the material to be clamped, so as to realize the staggered rotation direction adjustment of the two clamping mechanisms 2, avoid the collision of the two clamping mechanisms 2 when they move similarly, and also adapt to one clamping station and one releasing station of the wafer dicing machine. Specific embodiment five:

[0036] On the basis of the specific embodiment four, as Figures 3-5 and Figure 10As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a pair of second support plates 401 respectively connected to opposite sides of the first support plate 102 by screws; the second support plates 401 are vertically arranged; the upper ends of the two second support plates 401 are connected by a top plate 402; the top plate 402 is connected to the second support plates 401 by screws; a conventional third cylinder 403 is vertically fixed on the upper surface of the top plate 402; the output end of the third cylinder 403 passes through the top plate 402 and is horizontally fixed with a transmission plate 404 parallel to the first support plate 102; The output end of the third cylinder 403 is clearance-fitted with the top plate 402; both ends of the transmission strip 404 are screwed to pressing strips 405 perpendicular to the first support strip 102; the pressing strips 405 are horizontally arranged; the two pressing strips 405 and the second support strip 401 form an "I" shaped structure; a lifting block 406 is provided below each of the two pressing strips 405; the two lifting blocks 406 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two movable columns 307 respectively; the lower surface of the lifting block 406 is connected to the upper surface of the limiting block by a second spring 407. In use, when clamping mechanism 2 is about to clamp material and another clamping mechanism 2 is about to release material, the upper surfaces of the two lifting blocks 406 are in contact with the lower surfaces of the two pressing strips 405, and the compression of the second spring 407 is minimal. The output end of the third cylinder 403 extends downward and drives the two pressing strips 405 to move downward synchronously via the transmission strip 404. This causes the two lifting blocks 406 to drive the two clamping mechanisms 2 to move downward synchronously via the movable column 307, the second gear 305, and the bearing column 306. Thus, one clamping mechanism 2 reaches the clamping position and the other clamping mechanism 2 reaches the releasing position (at this time, the compression of the second spring 407 is maximum). After one clamping mechanism 2 completes clamping and the other clamping mechanism 2 completes releasing, the third cylinder 403 drives the two pressing strips 405 to reset via the transmission strip 404. Under the elastic action of the second spring 407, the two clamping mechanisms 2 move upward synchronously to the reset position, thus realizing the synchronous up and down movement of the two clamping mechanisms 2.
