Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of silicon wafer processing, and in particular relates to a diamond wire multi-wire sawing machine for silicon wafer cutting. Background Art

[0002] The diamond wire cutting machine uses a unidirectional or reciprocating motion of the diamond wire to create a relative grinding motion between the diamond wire and the object being cut, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting. Its cutting principle is similar to that of a bow saw, and it is an important tool for processing silicon wafers.

[0003] The existing diamond wire cutting machine does not have a proper way to deal with the debris generated by cutting silicon materials during use, which is easy to cause blockage and equipment damage. In response to the above technical problems, the applicant has retrieved some existing technologies, such as the Chinese patent with patent publication number CN113858463A. When in use, the coolant recovery tank is located below the cutting position. When the diamond wire cuts the material on the extrusion block, powdery impurities will be generated. At this time, some powder impurities will move with the diamond wire. When the diamond wire leaves the cutting position, there is no material to exert force on the dust impurities attached to the diamond wire. In addition, the air resistance encountered by the subsequent movement of the diamond wire will cause the powder impurities attached to the diamond wire to separate from the diamond wire. Since the diamond wire gives the powder impurities an initial velocity, the powder impurities will continue to move and fall downward into the recovery tank below. At the same time, the subsequent flushing nozzle will flush the impurities into the recovery tank when flushing into the extrusion block, which will cause the coolant in the recovery tank to be mixed with more impurities, affecting the subsequent reuse of the coolant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a diamond wire multi-wire sawing machine for silicon wafer cutting provided by the present invention comprises a base 1, a collecting box 2 and a back plate 3 are fixedly mounted on the base 1, four groups of winding rollers 4 distributed in a rectangular shape are rotatably mounted on the back plate 3, a plurality of cutting wires 5 are commonly arranged on the four groups of winding rollers 4, a rotating power member 12 for driving one group of winding rollers 4 to rotate is arranged on the back plate 3, and a water spraying assembly 28 for spraying a cooling liquid to the cutting position is arranged on the back plate 3;

[0030] A placement box 7 driven by a telescopic member 6 is provided in the collection box 2, a pad 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the placement box 7, and slots 8 for the cutting line 5 to pass through are opened on the side walls of both sides of the placement box 7, and an inclined surface structure with a high inner side and a low outer side is provided on the bottom surface of the placement box 7, which is located on both sides of the pad 9. Both ends of the placement box 7 are connected with a collection pipe 10, and a collection bag 11 is provided at one end of the collection pipe 10 away from the placement box 7. A plurality of groups of cleaning pipes 19 are provided on the back plate 3, and the number of cleaning pipes 19 is the same as the number of cutting lines 5. The cleaning pipe 19 is located directly above the corresponding cutting line 5 and the cleaning pipe 19 is parallel to the horizontal section of the cutting line 5. The side of the cleaning pipe 19 close to the corresponding cutting line 5 is connected with a plurality of groups of jet pipes 20 pointing to the cutting line 5, and the plurality of groups of cleaning pipes 19 are connected to a hair dryer 21 fixedly installed on the back plate 3. A second bracket 17 is fixedly installed on the back plate 3, and a jet box 18 is slidably installed on the vertical section of the second bracket 17. The jet box 18 is connected to the plurality of groups of cleaning pipes 19, and the jet box 18 is connected to the hair dryer 21.

[0031] In actual application of this embodiment, the material to be cut is placed on the pad 9 and fixed, and the placement box 7 is driven to move upward by the telescopic member 6 so that the material is close to the cutting line 5. The rotating power member 12 drives one group of winding rollers 4 to rotate, so that the cutting line 5 rotates. When the lower horizontal section of the cutting line 5 contacts the material, the cutting can be performed. When cutting, the cutting line 5 can move downward in the card slot 8. When cutting, the coolant is sprayed from the top of the material cutting position by the water spray assembly 28. The coolant will flow downward along the material to cool and lubricate the cutting position, and the coolant will also flush The coolant flows downward to the bottom of the placing box 7 and then flows downward along the inclined structure, and finally leaves the placing box 7 through the collecting tube 10. The coolant carries the powder impurities with it during the flow of the coolant. After the coolant falls from the collecting tube 10, it enters the collecting bag 11. The powder impurities in the coolant are filtered and collected by the collecting bag 11. The coolant that passes through the collecting bag 11 is gathered in the collecting box 2. The coolant in the collecting box 2 can be reused later. After long-term use, the collecting bag 11 can be removed from the collecting tube 10 for cleaning.

[0032] During cutting, the blower 21 delivers air to the jet box 18, and then the air flows into the cleaning tube 19 and is sprayed downward onto the cutting line 5 through the jet tube 20, and the powder impurities remaining on the cutting line 5 are blown off by the high-speed circulating air, and the powder impurities move downward into the placement box 7 under the blowing of the air, so that the powder impurities on the cutting line 5 are actively cleaned, and the powder impurities are prevented from scattering due to the accumulation and separation when the powder impurities move with the cutting line 5, and the scattered cutting impurities are prevented from entering the collection box 2 downward, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the coolant in the collection box 2 below, which is conducive to the subsequent reuse of the coolant. The cleaning of the wire 5 ensures the cleanliness of the cutting wire 5 after cutting, thereby preventing cutting impurities from moving with the cutting wire 5 and adhering to the winding roller 4, thereby preventing the accumulation of impurities on the winding roller 4 from affecting the rotation of the cutting wire 5, ensuring the stability of the cutting wire 5 during operation, and improving the cutting quality. At the same time, the air can further cool the cutting wire 5 while cleaning the cutting wire 5, further improving the cooling speed and cooling effect of the cutting wire 5, ensuring that the cutting wire 5 is always used in a low temperature state, and improving the life of the cutting wire 5. When the cutting is completed, the telescopic part 6 moves downward to separate the material from the cutting wire 5, and the material can be replaced later.

[0033] In an example of the present embodiment, the rotating power part 12 is a motor, and of course it can also be other parts that can output rotational power, such as a hydraulic motor, which drives the cutting line 5 to rotate through the motor, and the telescopic part 6 is an electric telescopic rod, and of course it can also be other parts that can actively change the length, such as a hydraulic cylinder, which drives the placement box 7 to move up and down through electric telescopic movement.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a diamond wire multi-wire saw for silicon wafer cutting provided by the present invention, the water spray assembly 28 includes a first bracket 13, the first bracket 13 is fixedly mounted on the back plate 3 and points to the base 1, a water spray box 14 is slidably mounted on the first bracket 13, when the placement box 7 moves upward, it contacts the water spray box 14 and pushes the water spray box 14 to move upward, a plurality of water spray pipes 15 are connected to the water spray box 14, the water spray pipes 15 correspond to the cutting lines 5 one by one and the water spray pipes 15 are located directly above the cutting position of the cutting lines 5, the water spray box 14 is connected to a water pump 16 fixedly mounted on the base 1, and the water pump 16 is connected to an external coolant container.

[0035] In actual application of this embodiment, in the initial state, the water spray box 14 is located at the bottom of the first bracket 13. At this time, the water spray pipe 15 is located above the cutting line 5 and a gap is set with the cutting line 5. When the placement box 7 moves upward to make the cutting line 5 cut the material, the water pump 16 draws the coolant and transports it to the water spray box 14. The coolant flows out through each water spray pipe 15 and falls to the cutting position of the corresponding cutting line 5, thereby lubricating and cooling the cutting position. The placement box 7 drives the material to continue to rise and contact with the water spray box 14. At this time, the placement box 7 will push the water spray box 14 to rise synchronously, so that the water spray pipe 15 is always located above the material cutting position to continuously spray coolant, thereby ensuring the continuous supply of coolant.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, a diamond wire multi-wire saw for silicon wafer cutting provided by the present invention, two groups of horizontal plates 22 are fixedly installed on the jet box 18, and a third bracket 23 is slidably installed on the two groups of horizontal plates 22. A plurality of collecting boxes 24 corresponding to the cutting lines 5 are fixedly installed on the horizontal section of the third bracket 23. The collecting boxes 24 have a U-shaped cross-section and cover the corresponding cutting lines 5 from below. The side wall end face of the collecting box 24 contacts the surface of the cleaning tube 19.

[0037] Specifically, the distance from the inner bottom surface of the collecting box 24 to the cutting line 5 gradually increases in the direction away from the pad 9 , and gaps are provided between both ends of the collecting box 24 and the cutting line 5 .

[0038] Specifically, a recovery box 25 is fixedly installed on one end of the multiple groups of collection boxes 24 away from the pad 9, and the recovery box 25 is connected to the multiple groups of collection boxes 24. The position where the recovery box 25 is connected to the collection box 24 is located in the area of ​​the collection box 24 away from the cutting line 5. The collection box 24 is connected to the exhaust fan 26 fixedly installed on the back plate 3, and two groups of blowing pipes 27 are connected to the air outlet end of the exhaust fan 26. The two groups of blowing pipes 27 extend into the collection pipe 10 respectively.

[0039] In actual application of this embodiment, the exhaust fan 26 extracts the air in the recovery box 25 and sprays it out through the blowing pipe 27. After the cutting line 5 enters the collecting box 24, the powder impurities carried on it are separated from the cutting line 5 and move downward under the action of the air flowing downward from the top. At the same time, when the cutting line 5 moves, the powder impurities will be given an initial velocity to move along the cutting line 5. At the same time, since the air in the recovery box 25 is extracted by the exhaust fan 26, the air in the collecting box 24 will flow toward the area connected to the recovery box 25 at this time, and then the powder impurities will move downward away from the cutting line 5 after separating from the cutting line 5, and move into the recovery box 25 at the same time, so that the powder impurities separated from the cutting line 5 will enter the collecting box 24 driven by the air, thereby realizing the collection of the powder impurities separated from the cutting line 5, preventing the separated dust from entering the coolant below or scattering into the environment at will, further improving the cleanliness of the coolant below, and facilitating the subsequent recycling of the coolant;

[0040] The powder impurities are extracted along with the air in the recovery box 25 by the exhaust fan 26 and then transported to the collecting pipe 10 through the blowing pipe 27. Since the lower end of the blowing pipe 27 is inserted into the collecting bag 11, the air will pass through the collecting bag 11 and leave, and the dust will be intercepted by the collecting bag 11. When the air passes through the collecting bag 11, it can accelerate the outflow of the coolant in the collecting bag 11.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
