[0014] Step 1: The driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the connecting plate to rotate through the friction transmission structure, so that the rotating frame rotates synchronously. When the first wafer adsorption mechanism rotates to the processing position, the limit block moves to the bottom of another avoidance groove, and the stop frame contacts the baffle at the processing position;

When the rotating frame and the pressing ring move up again and reset to the initial heights in turn, as the shaft continues to rotate, the rotating frame drives the first wafer adsorption mechanism to move to the loading position, and the second wafer adsorption mechanism moves to the unloading position. At this time, the rotating frame stops moving. As the shaft continues to rotate, the second wafer adsorption mechanism places the unprocessed wafer at the processing position again, and the first wafer adsorption mechanism places the processed wafer at the unloading position. Repeat the above loading and unloading steps until the wafers no longer need to be loaded and unloaded.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The rotating shaft drives the connecting plate to rotate through the friction transmission structure so that the rotating frame rotates synchronously. When the first wafer adsorption mechanism rotates to the processing position, the limit block moves to the bottom of another avoidance groove, and the stop frame contacts the baffle at the processing position. Similarly, with the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the first wafer adsorption mechanism drives the wafer to descend synchronously. When the wafer descends to the lowest position, similarly, the control unit controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism to release the fixation of the wafer, and the wafer is placed in the processing position. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the rotating frame and the pressing ring move up again and reset to the initial height in turn. After the rotating frame and the pressing ring are reset to the initial height, the rotating shaft drives the rotating frame to rotate again. When the wafer processing is completed, with the continuous rotation of the rotating frame, the second wafer adsorption mechanism moves to the processing position, and the first wafer adsorption mechanism moves When it reaches the loading position, the rotating frame stops rotating. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the wafer at the loading position is adsorbed and fixed by the first wafer adsorption mechanism again. The second wafer adsorption mechanism adsorbs and fixes the processed wafer at the processing position. When the rotating frame and the pressing ring move up again and reset to the initial heights in turn, with the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the rotating frame drives the first wafer adsorption mechanism to move to the loading position, and the second wafer adsorption mechanism moves to the unloading position. At this time, the rotating frame stops moving. Similarly, with the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft, the second wafer adsorption mechanism places the unprocessed wafer at the processing position again, and the first wafer adsorption mechanism places the processed wafer at the unloading position. The above loading and unloading steps are repeated, so that unloading can be carried out at the same time as loading, thereby reducing the wafer unloading cycle and increasing work efficiency.

The top of the limit block 6 passes through the corresponding avoidance groove 7. When the pressing ring 5 and the rotating frame 2 are in contact, as the pressing ring 5 continues to move downward, the rotating frame 2 follows the pressing ring 5 to move downward, and the rotating frame 2 slides relative to the guide column 40. The second tension spring 41 is in a tensioned state, and the rotating frame 2 is no longer in contact with the bottom of the second stop column 39. Similarly, when the fixed column 53 drives the movable frame 50 and the pressing ring 5 to move upward, the second tension spring 41 drives the rotating frame 2 to move upward, so that the rotating frame 2 follows the pressing ring 5 to move upward. When the rotating frame 2 moves up to the initial height, the rotating frame 2 is connected to the second stop column 39. 1 and 10. When the pressing ring 5 moves up to the initial height, the limit block 6 is disengaged from the corresponding avoidance groove 7, and the baffle 11 is no longer located on the side of the stop frame 10, thereby releasing the limitation on the position of the rotating frame 2. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the second friction disk 38 can drive the first friction disk 37 and the second connecting shaft 36 to rotate synchronously through friction force, so that the rotating frame 2 can rotate relative to the mounting seat 1 and the pressing ring 5, and the limit block 6 rotates again at the bottom of the pressing ring 5. The third friction disk 46 cannot drive the fourth friction disk 47 to rotate through friction force, thereby ensuring that the rotating frame 2 can rotate and move downward intermittently, thereby completing the loading and unloading of wafers.

[0038] A method for loading and unloading wafers in this embodiment includes the loading and unloading device for wafer processing as described above, and includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: The rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate by the driving member, and the rotating shaft 4 drives the connecting plate 3 to rotate through the friction transmission structure, so that the rotating frame 2 rotates synchronously. When the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 rotates to the processing position, the limit block 6 moves to the right below the other avoidance groove 7, and the stop frame 10 contacts the baffle 11 located at the processing position;

[0040] Step 2: As the rotating shaft 4 continues to rotate, the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 drives the wafer to descend synchronously. When the wafer descends to the lowest position, the control unit controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to release the fixation of the wafer, and the wafer is placed in the processing position;

[0041] Step 3: With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 move up again and reset to the initial heights in sequence. After the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 reset to the initial heights, the rotating shaft 4 drives the rotating frame 2 to rotate again. When the wafer processing is completed, with the continuous rotation of the rotating frame 2, the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 moves to the processing position, the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 moves to the loading position, and the rotating frame 2 stops rotating;

[0042] Step 4: With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the wafer at the loading position is again adsorbed and fixed by the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8, and the wafer that has been processed at the processing position is adsorbed and fixed by the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9. When the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 move up again and are reset to the initial heights in turn, with the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the rotating frame 2 drives the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to move to the loading position, and the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 moves to the unloading position. At this time, the rotating frame 2 stops moving. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 places the unprocessed wafer at the processing position again, and the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 places the processed wafer at the unloading position. The above loading and unloading steps are repeated until the wafers no longer need to be loaded and unloaded.

[0043] Working principle: During operation, the staff installs the mounting seat 1 at the preset position, drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate through the driving member, the rotating shaft 4 drives the connecting plate 3 to rotate through the friction transmission structure, and the connecting plate 3 drives the rotating frame 2 to rotate synchronously through the stretching stopper. When the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 rotates to the loading position, the stop frame 10 and the baffle 11 located at the loading position contact each other, and the baffle 11 limits the position of the stop frame 10 and the rotating frame 2 to stop the rotation of the rotating frame 2. At the same time, one of the avoidance grooves 7 is located directly above the limit block 6, and the pressing column 12 is located above the movable plate 13. As the rotating shaft 4 continues to rotate, the rotating shaft 4 drives the pressing ring 5 to move downward through the friction reciprocating moving component, so that the limit block 6 passes through the avoidance groove 7. When the pressing ring 5 and the rotating frame 2 When in contact, as the pressing ring 5 continues to move downward, the pressing ring 5 drives the rotating frame 2, the stop frame 10 and the pressing column 12 to move downward synchronously, the pressing column 12 slides on the inclined surface of the movable plate 13, and the pressing column 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to move horizontally. When the rotating frame 2 drops to the lowest position, the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 contacts the wafer at the loading position, and the control unit controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to adsorb and fix the wafer. At the same time, the pressing column 12 slides from one side of the movable plate 13, and the stop sliding avoidance structure drives the movable plate 13 to move above the pressing column 12. The bottom of the movable plate 13 contacts the pressing column 12. At the same time, the movable plate 13 is located above the stop frame 10. As the rotating shaft 4 continues to rotate, the movable plate 13 moves back and forth through friction. The moving assembly drives the pressing ring 5 to move upward, and the stretching stopper drives the rotating frame 2 to move upward with the pressing ring 5. The pressing column 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to move upward, and the movable plate 13 drives the baffle 11 to move through the stop sliding avoidance structure. When the rotating frame 2 moves up to the initial height, the baffle 11 is no longer in contact with the stop frame 10, and the position restriction of the stop frame 10 and the rotating frame 2 is released. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, when the friction reciprocating moving assembly drives the pressing ring 5 to move up to the initial height, the limit block 6 disengages from the avoidance groove 7. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the rotating shaft 4 can drive the connecting disk 3 to rotate through the friction transmission structure to make the rotating frame 2 rotate synchronously. When the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 rotates to the processing position, the limit block 6 moves to another avoidance groove 7. Directly below, the stop frame 10 contacts the baffle 11 at the processing position. Similarly, with the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 drives the wafer to descend synchronously. When the wafer descends to the lowest position, similarly, the control unit controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to release the fixation of the wafer, and the wafer is placed at the processing position. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 move up again and reset to the initial height in turn. After the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 are reset to the initial height, the rotating shaft 4 drives the rotating frame 2 to rotate again. When the wafer processing is completed, with the continuous rotation of the rotating frame 2, the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 moves to the processing position, the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 moves to the loading position, and the rotating frame 2 stops rotating. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4,The first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 is used to adsorb and fix the wafer at the loading position again, and the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 is used to adsorb and fix the wafer that has been processed at the processing position. When the rotating frame 2 and the pressing ring 5 move up again and reset to the initial height in sequence, as the rotating shaft 4 continues to rotate, the rotating frame 2 drives the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to move to the loading position, and the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 moves to the unloading position. At this time, the rotating frame 2 stops moving. Similarly, as the rotating shaft 4 continues to rotate, the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 places the unprocessed wafer at the processing position again, and the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 places the processed wafer at the unloading position. Repeating the above loading and unloading steps, unloading can be carried out while loading, reducing the wafer loading and unloading cycle and increasing work efficiency.

[0044] When the rotating frame 2 and the stop frame 10 move downward so that the pressing column 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to move horizontally, the movable plate 13 drives the side plate 15 to move, and the first tension spring 17 is in a tensioned state. At this time, the bottom of the guide block 30 contacts the bottom inner wall of the second guide groove 29. When the pressing column 12 slides over one side of the movable plate 13 and the pressing column 12 moves to the lowest position, the first tension spring 17 drives the side plate 15 and the movable plate 13 to move in the opposite direction so that the movable plate 13 moves to the top of the pressing column 12. At the same time, the first stop column 18 contacts the side plate 15 to reset the movable plate 13 to its initial position. When the rotating frame 2 and the stop frame 10 move upward, the pressing column 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to move upward synchronously. The movable plate 13 drives the slide plate 14 and the first tooth plate 19 to move upward. The compression spring 28 is in a compressed state. The first tooth plate 19 passes through the gear 2 0 drives the second tooth plate 23 to move horizontally, and the second tooth plate 23 drives the baffle 11 to move relative to the stop frame 10, and the guide bar 25 slides in the first guide groove 24. Through the design of the first guide groove 24 and the guide bar 25, the second tooth plate 23 can move smoothly in the horizontal direction relative to the first fixed plate 22 and the mounting seat 1. When the rotating frame 2 moves up to the initial height, the baffle 11 is no longer in contact with the stop frame 10, and the position restriction of the stop frame 10 and the rotating frame 2 is released. When the rotating frame 2 rotates, the pressing column 12 and the stop frame 10 slide under the movable plate 13 to release the support for the movable plate 13, and the compression spring 28 drives the slide plate 14 and the first tooth plate 19 to move downward, and the first tooth plate 19 drives the gear 20 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the gear 20 drives the second tooth plate 23 and the baffle 11 to move in the opposite direction, so that the baffle 11 and the movable plate 13 are reset to the initial position;

[0045] When the rotating frame 2 moves downward so that the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 contacts the wafer at the loading position, the first switch 31 on the rotating frame 2 contacts the control frame 33 located at the loading position, and the first switch 31 controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to adsorb and fix the wafer. When the rotating frame 2 drives the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to rotate to the processing position, as the rotating frame 2 moves downward, when the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 drives the wafer to descend to the lowest position, the first switch 31 on the rotating frame 2 contacts the control frame 33 located at the processing position, and the first switch 31 controls the first wafer adsorption mechanism 8 to release the fixation of the wafer. Similarly, when the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 is located at the processing position, As the rotating frame 2 moves downward, when the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 drops to the lowest position and the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 contacts the processed wafer, the second switch 32 on the rotating frame 2 contacts the control frame 33 located at the processing position, and the second switch 32 controls the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 to adsorb and fix the wafer. When the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 is located at the unloading position, as the rotating frame 2 moves downward, when the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 drops to the lowest position, the second switch 32 contacts the control frame 33 located at the unloading position, and the second switch 32 controls the second wafer adsorption mechanism 9 to release the fixation of the wafer, so that the processed wafer can be placed at the unloading position;

[0046] The motor 35 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 4 drives the second friction disk 38 to rotate. The second friction disk 38 drives the first friction disk 37 and the second connecting shaft 36 to rotate synchronously through friction force. The second connecting shaft 36 drives the connecting disk 3 to rotate. The connecting disk 3 can drive the rotating frame 2 to rotate through the guide column 40. The rotating frame 2 drives the limit block 6 to rotate at the bottom of the pressing ring 5. When the rotating shaft 4 rotates, the rotating shaft 4 drives the second bevel gear 44 to rotate. The second bevel gear 44 drives the third connecting shaft 42 and the third friction disk 46 to rotate through the first bevel gear 43. Since the bottom of the pressing ring 5 is in contact with the top of the limit block 6, the pressing ring 5 cannot move downward, and the fourth friction disk 47 and the fourth connecting shaft 48 remain stationary. The third friction disc 46 cannot drive the fourth friction disc 47 to rotate by friction. With the rotation of the rotating frame 2, when the stop frame 10 contacts one of the baffles 11, the rotating frame 2 and the connecting disc 3 stop rotating. The second friction disc 38 cannot drive the first friction disc 37 and the second connecting shaft 36 to rotate by friction. At this time, one of the avoidance grooves 7 is located above the limit block 6, and the pressing ring 5 can move downward relative to the limit block 6 and the rotating frame 2. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the third friction disc 46 can drive the fourth friction disc 47 and the fourth connecting shaft 48 to rotate by friction. The fourth connecting shaft 48 drives the fixing column 53 to slide in the rectangular hole 52 through the connecting block 54, so that the fixing column 53 The movable frame 50 and the connecting column 51 are driven to move downward, and the connecting column 51 drives the pressing ring 5 to move downward relative to the rotating frame 2. The top of the limit block 6 passes through the corresponding avoidance groove 7. When the pressing ring 5 and the rotating frame 2 are in contact, as the pressing ring 5 continues to move downward, the rotating frame 2 follows the pressing ring 5 to move downward, and the rotating frame 2 slides relative to the guide column 40. The second tension spring 41 is in a tensioned state, and the rotating frame 2 is no longer in contact with the bottom of the second stop column 39. Similarly, when the fixed column 53 drives the movable frame 50 and the pressing ring 5 to move upward, the second tension spring 41 drives the rotating frame 2 to move upward, so that the rotating frame 2 follows the pressing ring 5 to move upward. When the rotating frame 2 moves up to the initial height, the rotating frame 2 is connected to the second stop column 39. 1 and 10. When the pressing ring 5 moves up to the initial height, the limit block 6 is disengaged from the corresponding avoidance groove 7, and the baffle 11 is no longer located on the side of the stop frame 10, thereby releasing the limitation on the position of the rotating frame 2. With the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the second friction disk 38 can drive the first friction disk 37 and the second connecting shaft 36 to rotate synchronously through friction force, so that the rotating frame 2 can rotate relative to the mounting seat 1 and the pressing ring 5, and the limit block 6 rotates again at the bottom of the pressing ring 5. The third friction disk 46 cannot drive the fourth friction disk 47 to rotate through friction force, thereby ensuring that the rotating frame 2 can rotate and move downward intermittently, thereby completing the loading and unloading of wafers.
