Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cleaning method and cleaning mechanism for a cutting mechanism, and more particularly to a cutting device used in the manufacturing process of electronic components for cutting wafer-shaped wafers, and a cleaning method and cleaning mechanism for its cutting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of general electronic components, there is often a need to cut the workpiece into multiple wafers for subsequent processing into electronic components. Taking the process of passive components as an example, patent No. I627042, "Wafer Cutting Apparatus", discloses a cutting device that can cut a workpiece, such as a ceramic substrate wafer, into strip wafers. The workpiece is placed on a platform that can be horizontally displaced relative to a frame. When the platform is displaced below the frame, a feed device on the frame drives a cutting device to move up and down to cut the workpiece on the platform. The cutting device has a body and a fixed base. The fixed base can pivot relative to the body, so that the cutting blade is selectively clamped between the body and the fixed base.

[0003] The prior art disclosed in Patent Application No. I627042, "Wafer Cutting Apparatus," involves a cutting device that primarily uses multiple screws passing through the main body and the mounting base to fix the mounting base to the main body, thus holding the cutter between them. When the operator needs to replace the cutter, they must manually unscrew each of the screws and then manually separate the mounting base from the main body to remove the old cutter. After replacing it with a new cutter, the operator must manually bring the mounting base closer to the main body and manually tighten each of the screws to fix the mounting base to the main body, thus holding the new cutter between them. However... After prolonged use, residual adhesive residue from the ceramic substrate wafers can easily adhere to the body of the cutter mechanism and the mounting base. When replacing the cutter, if this residue is not removed, the new cutter may get stuck during installation, resulting in a skewed or uneven installation. This makes it difficult to control the blade precisely during cutting. Furthermore, since the platform is located between the operator and the cutting device, the operator must lean over the platform and reach into the cutting device to apply force to replace the sharp cutter when changing it. This not only increases the risk of accidentally touching the mechanism but also poses a risk of cutting their hands. Further research and improvement are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning method for the cutting mechanism of a cutting device that can improve upon at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cutting device for performing a cleaning method for the cutting mechanism of the cutting device as described above.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cutting device that can improve upon at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning mechanism for a cutting device that improves upon at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0008] A method for cleaning the cutting mechanism of a cutting device according to the present invention includes: providing a cutting mechanism having an old cutting blade; providing a cleaning mechanism having a cleaning component; removing the old cutting blade from the cutting mechanism and moving the cleaning component of the cleaning mechanism into the cutting mechanism for cleaning.

[0009] A cutting device according to another object of the present invention is used to perform a cleaning method for the cutting mechanism of the cutting device as described above.

[0010] According to another objective of the present invention, a cutting device comprises: a machine table with a frame; a cutting device disposed on the frame, the cutting device having a cutting mechanism for holding a used cutting blade; a carrier disposed on the machine table, which can be driven to move below the cutting mechanism and has a bearing surface for holding a workpiece; and a cleaning mechanism having a cleaning component that can be moved to correspond to the cutting mechanism, the cleaning component being driven to move into the cutting mechanism for cleaning.

[0011] According to another objective of the present invention, a cleaning mechanism for a cutting device includes: a holding portion, and a cleaning component disposed on the holding portion, the cleaning component forming a first cleaning surface, a second cleaning surface, and an upwardly facing third cleaning surface located between the first cleaning surface and the second cleaning surface on the holding portion; the cleaning component is fixed by a base below the holding portion, and the base is driven by a driving member, thereby enabling the cleaning component to move up and down.

[0012] The present invention provides a cleaning method and cleaning mechanism for a cutting device and its cutting mechanism. Since the cleaning mechanism is equipped with the cleaning component, after the old cutting blade is removed from the cutting mechanism, it can be driven to move into the cutting mechanism for cleaning by the cleaning component, thereby reducing the residue of adhesive residue in the cutting mechanism and enabling subsequent blade replacement operations to achieve stable and accurate installation.

[0115] Please see Figure 1 The present invention can be illustrated using a cutting device as shown in the figure, which is equipped with:

[0116] A machine platform A is provided with a gantry-shaped frame A1. The frame A1 provides a conveying section A2. The machine platform A within the conveying section A2 is provided with a slide rail A3 that provides a linear conveying flow path along the X-axis.

[0117] A cutting device B is mounted on a frame A1 above the conveying section A2. The cutting device B is equipped with a cutting blade mechanism B1 and a driving mechanism B2 that drives the cutting blade mechanism B1 to move up and down. The driving mechanism B2 is equipped with a slide B22 that can slide up and down on a slide rail B21 along the Z-axis on the frame A1, and a driving member B23 that drives the slide B22.

[0118] A platform C has a support C1 mounted on the slide rail A3 on the table surface A of the machine. It can be driven to make linear displacement along the X-axis through the conveying section A2 and to the area below the cutting mechanism B1. The upper surface of the support C1 is provided with a support surface C2 for placing a workpiece such as a wafer.

[0119] A cleaning mechanism D is provided with a cleaning component D1 that can be displaced to the corresponding cutting mechanism B1. The cleaning component D1 can be driven to move into the cutting mechanism B1 for cleaning.

[0120] Please see Figures 1-4 The cutting mechanism B1 is fixed to the slide B22 by a first cutter holder B11. A stop member B111 is provided on one side of the first cutter holder B11. A first clamping part B112 is provided below the stop member B111. A first clamping surface B113 on the same side as the stop member B111 is provided with a suction hole or suction nozzle that can pass through negative pressure, forming a first holding part B114 for fixed retention by suction. Figure 3 A linkage B115 is provided above the first tool holder B11, and a first pressure seat B116 is provided below the first tool holder B11. The linkage B115 and the first pressure seat B116 are respectively pivotally mounted on two first pivot rods B117 arranged parallel to each other along the Z-axis in the first tool holder B11 at intervals. Figure 4 The first pivot rod B117, located below the first tool holder B11 and between the first pressure seat B116 and the first tool holder B11, is centrally fitted with an elastic element B118 composed of a spring, which keeps the first pressure seat B116 under a downward driving force due to elastic action. The linkage B115 is driven by a driving member B119 composed of two pneumatic cylinders arranged axially at a distance of Z and fixed on the slide B22, so that the linkage B115 can move the first pressure seat B116 up and down through the first pivot rod B117. Each end of the first pressure seat B116 is provided with a hook-and-lift part B1161 extending to one side.

[0121] The cutting mechanism B1 has a second cutter holder B12 on the opposite side of the first cutter holder B11. The second cutter holder B12 has a second clamping part B121 opposite to the first clamping part B112. The second clamping part B121 has a second clamping surface B122 that can abut against the first clamping surface B113. A fastener B123 is provided above the second cutter holder B12, and a second pressure seat B124 is provided below the second cutter holder B12. The fastener B123 and the second pressure seat B124 are pivotally connected to two second pivot rods B125 arranged parallel to each other along the Z-axis in the second cutter holder B12 at intervals and move synchronously. A spring-loaded elastic element B126 is centrally fitted on the second pivot B125 between the second blade holder B12 and the second pressure seat B124, so that the second pressure seat B124 is held by a downward driving force under elastic action; each end of the second pressure seat B124 is provided with a linkage part B1241 extending to one side and overlapping the hook-lifting part B1161. When the linkage B115 moves the first pressure seat B116 up and down via the first pivot B117, the first pressure seat B116 will move the linkage part B1241 through the hook-lifting part B1161, so that the second pressure seat B124 and the first pressure seat B116 move up and down synchronously.

[0122] Please see Figure 2 , 3 The first tool holder B11 has two pivot rods B13 extending along the X-axis toward the second tool holder B12 and pivotally passing through the stop member B111 at a distance from each other. A spring-loaded elastic element B131 is pivotally fitted onto the pivot rod B13 between the stop member B111 and the second tool holder B12. The second tool holder B12 is pivotally mounted on the pivot rod B13 and can move toward the first tool holder B11 under external force or move away from the first tool holder B11 under the restoring force of the elastic element B131. A stop portion B1111 made of wear-resistant material is embedded below the stop member B111. This is for cutting workpieces such as sheet-like wafers. The old cutting blade F is clamped between the first clamping surface B113 and the second clamping surface B122. The tip F1 of the old cutting blade F protrudes downward below the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121, but is still protected above the first pressure seat B116 and the second pressure seat B124. The back of the old cutting blade F2 protrudes upward above the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121, and abuts against the lower edge of the stop part B1111 of the stop member B111. Between the tip F1 and the back of the blade F2 is a thin and flat blade surface F3. The old cutting blade F can be attracted and fixed by the first holding part B114 through the blade surface F3.

[0123] Please see Figure 2The operation of the second tool holder B12 moving towards or away from the first tool holder B11 is performed by two clamping mechanisms B3 spaced apart along the Y-axis. Each clamping mechanism B3 is fixed to one side of the first tool holder B11 via a frame B31, a connecting member B4, a linkage B115, and a hollowed-out section B1151 above the second tool holder B12. The clamping mechanism B3 includes a driving member B32 composed of a pneumatic cylinder and a top abutment B33 capable of pressing against or releasing one side of the second tool holder B12. The output rod B321 of the driving member B32 and the top abutment B33 are connected and power is transmitted via a multi-pivot connection assembly B34, which includes two pivot joints. The assembly consists of a first connecting member B341, one end of which is pivotally connected to a pivot B311 on the frame B31 and the other end of which is perpendicularly connected and locked to the abutment member B33; a second connecting member B342, one end of which is pivotally connected to the pivot B311 and the other end of which is pivotally connected to the output rod B321; and a third connecting member B343, one end of which is pivotally connected to the output rod B321 and the other end of which is pivotally connected to the first connecting member B341. The abutment member B33 has a threaded screw portion B331 and a flexible pressing block B332 located at one end of the screw portion B331. The other end of the screw portion B331 is screwed onto the first connecting member B341 and can be finely adjusted by screwing it on and positioned by a locking fastener B333 consisting of a nut.

[0124] Please see Figure 2 , 3 5. When the clamping mechanism B3 presses against one side of the second tool holder B12, the outward force direction of the output rod B321 in the clamping mechanism B3 is not aligned with the force direction of the abutment member B33 against the second tool holder B12. The abutment member B33 is subjected to the arc-shaped oscillation of the first connecting member B341. Figure 5 The vertical Z-axis swings as Figure 2 Along the horizontal X-axis, the abutment block B332 pushes against one side of the second tool holder B12, causing the second tool holder B12 to move relative to the first tool holder B11 and thus... Figure 3 The elastic element B131 is compressed to overcome its elasticity, and the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 clamp the old cutter F. When the clamping mechanism B3 releases and separates from the second cutter holder B12, the output rod B321 retracts, causing the first connecting member B341 to be moved approximately horizontally along the X-axis, while the abutment member B33 is moved approximately vertically along the Z-axis. At this time, by means of... Figure 3 The restoring force of the elastic element B131 pushes the second blade holder B12, causing the first clamping part B112 to separate from the second clamping part B121 to form a gap B14 and release the old cutter F.

[0125] Please see Figure 1 , 6 The cleaning mechanism D is mounted on a frame C2 of the support C1 on the operator side of the platform C, and moves synchronously with the platform C. It has an upright holding part D2, and a cleaning component D1 made of a flexible material (e.g., sponge) is covered on the holding part D2. The cleaning component D1 forms a first cleaning surface D11 facing the platform C and a second cleaning surface D12 against the platform C. And a third cleaning surface D13 located between the first cleaning surface D11 and the second cleaning surface D12, facing upward and having a convex arc shape. The cleaning component D1 is fixed by the lower ends of the first cleaning surface D11 and the second cleaning surface D12, which are clamped and fixed by a fixing member D31 on each side of a base D3 below the holding part D2. The base D3 is driven by a driving member D4 on the frame C2, which can drive the cleaning component D1 to move up and down in the Z-axis.

[0126] The frame C2 is also equipped with a tool placement mechanism E, which is synchronously linked with the horizontal displacement of the platform C and the cleaning mechanism D in the X-axis direction.

[0127] The tool-positioning mechanism E is mounted on the base C2, and includes a first tool-positioning seat E1 located relatively close to the platform C and driven by a first driving member E11 to move up and down, and a second tool-positioning seat E2 located relatively far from the platform C and driven by a second driving member E21 to move up and down; wherein...

[0128] The first knife holder E1 is provided with a first knife resting part E12 erected vertically, and a first resting surface E13 is formed on the side of the first knife resting part E12 facing the platform C. The first resting surface E13 is provided with a second holding part E14 consisting of a plurality of suction holes or suction nozzles arranged at intervals along the Y axis and capable of passing negative pressure, which are fixed and held by adsorption. The surface of the second holding part E14 protrudes slightly from the first resting surface E13. A bottom seat E15 is provided on one side below the first resting surface E13. A flexible film layer E16 can be laid on the upper surface of the bottom seat E15. The film layer E16 can penetrate into a recessed area E17 of the first knife resting part E12 at the bottom corner of the first resting surface E13.

[0129] The second blade holder E2 is provided with a second blade resting part E22 erected, and a second resting surface E23 is formed on the side of the second blade resting part E22 facing the platform C. The second resting surface E23 is provided with a third holding part E24 consisting of a plurality of suction holes or suction nozzles arranged at intervals along the Y axis and capable of passing negative pressure, which are fixed and held by adsorption. The surface of the third holding part E24 protrudes slightly from the second resting surface E23. A bottom seat E25 is provided on one side of the second resting surface E23. A flexible film layer E26 can be laid on the upper surface of the bottom seat E25. The film layer E26 can penetrate into a recessed area E27 of the second blade resting part E22 at the bottom corner of the second resting surface E23.

[0130] There is a replacement Figure 3 When the old cutter F is needed, the first cutter holder E1 remains empty, while a new cutter G is attached and positioned on the second resting surface E23 of the second blade resting part E22 by means of the third holding part E24. The new cutter G has a blade tip G1 at the bottom and a blade back G2 at the top. Between the blade tip G1 and the blade back G2 is a thin and flat blade surface G3. The new cutter G is positioned and erected on the side of the second blade resting part E22 facing the stage C with the blade surface G3 being attached by the third holding part E24 and the blade tip G1 facing downwards, corresponding to the film layer E15 of the base E25. Since the surface of the third holding part E24 protrudes slightly from the second resting surface E23, a gap is maintained between the blade surface G3 of the new cutter G and the second resting surface E23.

[0131] Please see Figure 1 , 7 In this embodiment of the invention, the optimal time to clean the cutting mechanism B1 is when the old cutting blade F becomes dull and needs to be replaced. At this time, the cutting mechanism B1 of the cutting device is being pushed against one side of the second blade holder B12 by the clamping mechanism B3 with the pressing block B332, so that the second blade holder B12 moves relative to the first blade holder B11 and the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 clamp the old cutting blade F. When replacing, the operator can set the new cutting blade G on the second blade holder E2.

[0132] Please see Figure 1 , 38. First, the blade-mounting mechanism E moves linearly along the X-axis on the slide rail A3 along the platform C, causing the first blade-mounting seat E1 on the bracket C3 to be moved to the position below the old cutter F of the cutting mechanism B1 corresponding to the first blade-supporting part E12. The output rod B321 of the clamping mechanism B3 retracts, causing the first connecting member B341 to move approximately horizontally along the X-axis, while the abutting member B33 is moved approximately vertically along the Z-axis, causing the pressing block B332 to disengage from its abutment against the side of the second blade seat B12. The restoring force of the elastic element B131 then pushes the second blade seat B12, causing the first clamping part B112 to separate from the second clamping part B121, forming the gap B14 and releasing the old cutter F. At this time, the old cutter F is still... Figure 3 The first holding part B114 on the surface of the first holding surface B113 on the first holding part B112 is held by negative pressure adsorption and fixation.

[0133] Please see Figure 1 , 3 9. Then, the first blade holder E1 is driven to raise the first blade resting part E12 into the gap B14 formed by the separation of the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 of the cutting mechanism B1, until the second holding part E14 aligns with the blade surface F3 of the old cutting blade F. At this time, the second holding part E14 will open to absorb and hold the original blade with negative pressure. Figure 3 The old cutter F is held by the first holding part B114 of the first clamping part B112, and the negative pressure of the first holding part B114 will also be closed so that the old cutter F is switched to be held by the second holding part E14.

[0134] Please see Figure 1 , 3 10. After the old cutter F is converted to be held by the second holding part E14, the first knife holder E1 will be driven to lower the first knife resting part E12 and carry the old cutter F out of the gap B14 of the cutter mechanism B1.

[0135] Please see Figure 1 , 311. After the old cutter F is removed from the slot B14 of the cutter mechanism B1, the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 separate, forming a loose and open state of the slot B14. The cleaning mechanism D moves linearly along the X-axis on the slide rail A3 with the platform C. The holding part D2 on the seat C3 is moved to the position of the cleaning component D1 below the loose and open slot B14 of the cutter mechanism B1. The bottom seat D3 is driven by the driving member D4, which in turn causes the cleaning component D1 to move upward along the Z-axis and enter the slot B14. The cleaning component D1 cleans the inner surface of the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 that are clamped opposite each other. During cleaning, the cleaning component D1 can be driven to move up and down or left and right.

[0136] Please see Figure 12 After the cleaning component D1 of the cleaning mechanism D completes cleaning, the base D3 is driven by the driving component D4, causing the cleaning component D1 to descend and move out of the gap B14 between the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121 of the cutting mechanism B1.

[0137] Please see Figure 1 , 3 13. Then, the blade-holding mechanism E moves linearly along the X-axis on the slide rail A3 along the platform C, causing the second blade-holding seat E2 to be displaced to below the clamping slot B14 corresponding to the cutting mechanism B1. The second blade-holding seat E2 is driven to cause the second blade-attaching part E22 to carry the new cutting blade G upward into the clamping slot B14 until the third holding part E24 is aligned with the preset position of the first clamping surface B113. At this time, the back of the new cutting blade G2 will abut against the first clamping surface B113. Figure 3 The lower edge of the stop part B1111 of the stop member B111, and the first holding part B114 on the surface of the first clamping surface B113 of the cutting mechanism B1 will open the negative pressure to hold the new cutter G which was originally held by the third holding part E24 of the second blade part E22. At this time, the negative pressure of the third holding part E24 will be closed so that the new cutter G will be held by the first holding part B114, so that the new cutter G is completely installed in the cutting mechanism B1.

[0138] Please see Figure 1 , 3 14. The new cutter G has completed the conversion to Figure 3 After the first holding part B114 is held in place, the second knife holder E2 will be driven to descend, causing the second knife resting part E22 to move out of the gap B14.

[0139] Please see Figure 1 , 3 15, the new cutter G has completed the conversion to Figure 3After the first holding part B114 is held in place, the output rod B321 of the clamping mechanism B3 extends outward, causing the first connecting member B341 to be moved approximately vertically along the Z-axis. Meanwhile, the abutting member B33 is moved to rotate approximately horizontally along the X-axis via an arc-shaped oscillating path. This causes the pressing block B332 to abut against one side of the second tool holder B12, clamping and closing the first clamping part B112 and the second clamping part B121. Figure 3 The gap B14 is in the middle, and the knife placement mechanism E returns to its original position by linearly displacing along the X-axis on the slide rail A3 with the platform C.

[0140] The present invention provides a cleaning method for a cutting device and its cutting mechanism.
