[0020] S1: When the semiconductor substrate body needs to be cleaned, it is adsorbed between the two rubber plates by the suction cup manipulator, and then the first motor is started. The rotation of the first motor drives the rotation of the double-headed screw, thereby driving the two first moving plates to move closer to each other, thereby driving the two rubber plates to move closer to each other through the L-shaped plate and abut against the semiconductor substrate body, thereby realizing the clamping operation of the semiconductor substrate body;
[0021] S2: starting the third motor, the rotation of the third motor drives the rotation of the second threaded rod, thereby driving the second movable plate to move, and the second movable plate drives the mounting plate to move when moving, and then drives the U-shaped plate and the brush to move, so that the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate body can be cleaned;
[0022] S3: When the second moving plate moves, the third connecting plate is driven to move synchronously. When the third connecting plate abuts against the side wall of the protruding portion, the two third connecting plates are pushed to move away from each other. At the same time, the second spring is stretched. When the third connecting plate passes over the protruding portion, the two third connecting plates can move closer to each other under the action of the second spring. This reciprocating process can make the two third connecting plates move back and forth and drive the two U-shaped plates to move along the first guide rail, so that the brush bristles can clean the semiconductor substrate body more efficiently and effectively.
[0023] S4: When cleaning, the exhaust fan is started, and the impurities after cleaning the semiconductor substrate body are absorbed through the absorption tube, and the impurities enter the exhaust fan through the fixed tube and the rubber plate and are discharged through the collection tube for unified collection, so that the cleaning efficiency of the semiconductor substrate body is higher and the effect is better. In addition, when the semiconductor substrate body is clamped and limited, when the first movable plate moves, it will drive the baffle to move synchronously, thereby pushing the sealing plate to move. At the same time, the third spring is compressed, and when the sealing plate moves, it can block and seal part of the absorption tubes on both sides, so that the width of the air extraction and dust collection is adapted to the width of the semiconductor substrate body, so that the width of the air extraction and dust collection can be automatically adjusted according to the size of the semiconductor substrate body, ensuring the effect of dust collection and cleaning, and being more convenient and quick to use;
[0024] S5: After one surface of the semiconductor substrate body is cleaned, when the second movable plate abuts against the second push plate, the rack is driven to move along the second guide rail through the second connecting plate and the first connecting plate, thereby driving the gear and the rotating shaft to rotate, and then driving the rubber plate and the semiconductor substrate body to rotate, and making the semiconductor substrate body flip 180 degrees, and when the first connecting plate moves, it drives the latch to move synchronously, so that the latch slides out of the limiting groove and then slides on the L-shaped plate, and at the same time, the first spring is compressed, and after the semiconductor substrate body is flipped 180 degrees, it is inserted into another limiting groove under the action of the first spring, so that the first connecting plate and the rack can be limited, and then the rotating shaft and the rubber plate are limited, to avoid arbitrary rotation, which is more stable and reliable;
[0025] S6: Then, the second movable plate is driven by the second movable mechanism to move and reset in the direction close to the second motor, so that the other side of the semiconductor substrate body can be cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, when the second movable plate abuts against the first push plate, similarly, the rubber plate and the semiconductor substrate body can be pushed to flip 180 degrees again and reset. At the same time, the limiting mechanism limits the position. This reciprocating operation can automatically flip the semiconductor substrate body during cleaning to complete full-angle cleaning.

When the second movable plate 1207 moves, it drives the mounting plate 1208 to move, and then drives the U-shaped plate 1210 and the brush 1211 to move, so that the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate body 13 can be cleaned;
[0055] S3: When the second moving plate 1207 moves, the third connecting plate 303 is driven to move synchronously. When the third connecting plate 303 abuts against the side wall of the protrusion 302, the two third connecting plates 303 are pushed to move away from each other.

In addition, when the semiconductor substrate body 13 is clamped and limited, when the first movable plate 1217 moves, it will drive the baffle 601 to move synchronously, thereby pushing the sealing plate 602 to move. At the same time, the third spring 704 is compressed, and when the sealing plate 602 moves, it can block and seal part of the absorption tubes 1213 on both sides, so that the width of the air extraction and dust collection is adapted to the width of the semiconductor substrate body 13, so that the width of the air extraction and dust collection can be automatically adjusted according to the size of the semiconductor substrate body 13, ensuring the effect of dust collection and cleaning, while being more convenient and quick to use;
[0057] S5: After one surface of the semiconductor substrate body 13 is cleaned, when the second moving plate 1207 is against the second pushing plate 207, the rack 203 is driven to move along the second guide rail 202 through the second connecting plate 205 and the first connecting plate 204, thereby pushing the gear 201 and the rotating shaft 1204 to rotate, and then driving the rubber plate 1205 and the semiconductor substrate body 13 to rotate, and making the semiconductor substrate body 13 flip 180 degrees, and when the first connecting plate 204 moves, it drives the latch 505 to move synchronously, so that the latch 505 slides out of the limiting groove 501 and then slides on the L-shaped plate 1203, and at the same time, the first spring 504 is compressed, and after the semiconductor substrate body 13 flips 180 degrees, it is inserted into another limiting groove 501 under the action of the first spring 504, so that the first connecting plate 204 and the rack 203 can be limited, and then the rotating shaft 1204 and the rubber plate 1205 are limited, to avoid arbitrary rotation, more stable and reliable;
[0058] S6: Then, the second movable plate 1207 is driven by the second movable mechanism 8 to move and reset in the direction close to the second motor 904, so that the other side of the semiconductor substrate body 13 can be cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, when the second movable plate 1207 is against the first push plate 206, similarly, the rubber plate 1205 and the semiconductor substrate body 13 can be pushed to flip 180 degrees and reset again. At the same time, the limiting mechanism 5 is used to limit the position. In this way, the semiconductor substrate body 13 can be automatically turned over during cleaning to complete full-angle cleaning. It is more convenient and quick to use, and the cleaning efficiency and effect are improved.
