Therefore, the wafers taken out of the wafer box need to be centered before being transferred to the cleaning device 3 for cleaning.

[0045] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, two cleaning devices 3 and two liquid storage devices 4 are provided, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the wafer and prevent the possibility of shutdown when a cleaning device 3 or a liquid storage device 4 fails.

The flow guide pipe 361 is used as both an actuator and a waste discharge channel to achieve functional integration. On the one hand, it saves space for the device and avoids the increase in device volume and complex structure caused by the provision of multiple independent components; on the other hand, it reduces the number of parts and components, and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs; and the dual functions of the flow guide pipe 361 make the layout of the entire device more reasonable, and in a limited space, it can better coordinate the positions and functions of various components to improve the overall performance of the device.

[0057] Specifically, the main body 3411 includes a protruding opening 3415 protruding downward, and the protruding opening 3415 connects the second annular guide groove 3421 and the guide pipe 361; the guide assembly 36 also includes a connecting sleeve 363, the connecting sleeve 363 includes a fixing portion 3631 and a retaining portion 3632 extending inward along the inner wall of the fixing portion 3631, the upper portion of the retaining portion 3632 is abutted against the protruding opening 3415, and the side of the retaining portion 3632 is clamped against the outer wall of the guide pipe 361, so that the connection between the guide pipe 361 and the protruding opening 3415 is stable, and the cleaning liquid is prevented from overflowing at the connection.
