[0052] Furthermore, the chain cleaning equipment used in S2 includes: a frame 1, a cleaning tank 6 is provided on the frame 1, a chain conveyor is also provided on the frame 1, a correction mechanism 2 is provided on the frame 1, and the correction mechanism 2 is used to correct the position of the carrier 3 on the chain conveyor; the carrier 3 is located on the chain conveyor and is used to carry multiple silicon wafers to be cleaned, and multiple slots 4 are provided on the carrier 3, and a rotation mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the slot 4, and the rotation mechanism 5 is used to adjust the silicon wafers to be cleaned in the slot 4.
[0053] The present invention sets up a rotation mechanism 5, so that when entering each cleaning tank 6, the rotation mechanism 5 is used to rub and rotate the silicon wafer in the slot 4 of the carrier 3, so that the dead angle area where the silicon wafer originally contacts the bottom of the slot 4 is rotated to other positions, thereby being exposed to the entire cleaning liquid, thereby achieving an all-round and dead-angle-free silicon wafer cleaning action; it should be noted that the chain conveyor is an existing technology, which can transport the silicon wafers to different cleaning tanks 6 in turn for corresponding cleaning, and will not be elaborated here.
[0054] Furthermore, the carrier 3 is configured as a perforated structure, and the rotation mechanism 5 includes a rubbing bar 51, which is slidably connected to a slide groove 52 provided on the bottom surface of the carrier 3, and the slide groove 52 is connected to the slot 4. The upper surface of the rubbing bar 51 is provided with a plurality of flexible teeth 53;
[0055] A plurality of sleeve shells 54 are provided on one side of the carrier 3. The positions of the sleeve shells 54 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the slots 4. A coil spring 55 is connected to the sleeve shell 54. One end of the coil spring 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the rubbing bar 51. The other ends of the plurality of rubbing bars 51 are fixedly connected to the roller 56. The two ends of the roller 56 are rotatably connected to the carrier 3. One of the rollers 56 is driven by a driving member 57. In this embodiment, by setting the carrier 3 into a perforated structure, the cleaning liquid can contact the silicon wafers in the slots 4 to the greatest extent, so as to achieve the best silicon wafer cleaning effect and reduce the impact on the performance of the finished battery. Specifically, after entering the cleaning tank 6, the driving member 57 is started to drive the roller 56 on one side of the carrier 3 to rotate. The roller 56 drives the connected rubbing bar 51 to wind around. The traction provided by the winding of the roller 56 is used to pull the rubbing bar 51. The flexible teeth 53 at the top of the rubbing bar 51 rub against the bottom of the silicon wafer in the slot 4, thereby forcing The silicon wafer is rubbed and rotated until the original bottom area of the silicon wafer is rotated to a certain angle and exposed to the cleaning liquid. At this time, the driving part 57 stops driving, and the roller 56 that has lost the driving force pulls the rubbing bar 51 to quickly reset under the restoring force of the coil spring 55. The rubbing effect of the rubbing bar 51 during the reset is used to allow the original bottom of the silicon wafer after rotation to return to the bottom area. The left and right relative sliding of the rubbing bar 51 is used to achieve the effect of reciprocating rubbing of the silicon wafer rotation, thereby realizing the rotation of the bottom of the silicon wafer, so that it is completely exposed to the cleaning liquid to achieve the purpose of comprehensive cleaning effect.
[0056] Furthermore, the correction mechanism 2 includes: a connecting frame 21, both ends of the connecting frame 21 are movably connected to the frame 1, two connecting frames 21 are symmetrically arranged, and each connecting frame 21 is provided with a group of correction wheels 22, and the top of the correction wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 21 through a rotating shaft, and a sprocket 23 is fixed to the top of a group of the rotating shafts, and a chain drive 24 is passed between multiple sprockets 23, one of the sprockets 23 is connected to the driving motor, and the length of the rotating shaft is set to match the cleaning tank 6, and the spacing value of the two connecting frames 21 on the side where the carrier 3 enters is greater than the spacing value on the side where the carrier 3 leaves. In this embodiment, the carrier 3 is clamped in the middle by the correction wheels 22 on both sides, so that the carrier 3 is always located in the middle area of the chain conveyor, ensuring the safety of the carrier 3 and the silicon wafer; specifically, one of the sprockets 23 is driven to rotate by a driving motor, and then the left and right sprockets 23, the rotating shaft and the correction wheel 22 on the same side are driven to rotate by the chain transmission 24, and the sprockets 23 on both sides convey the carrier 3 in the same direction, ensuring the safety of the carrier 3.
[0057] Furthermore, the driving member 57 is a waterproof servo motor, which is fixed to the side wall of the carrier 3 and is in driving connection with one end of the roller 56. In this embodiment, one embodiment of the driving member 57 is provided. When the driving member 57 is a waterproof servo motor, the driving force provided by the waterproof servo motor can easily drive the roller 56 to rotate, thereby winding the multiple rubbing strips 51, which is convenient and fast. Moreover, after leaving the cleaning tank 6, the rubbing silicon wafer can also be rotated, using the reciprocating rotational force to accelerate the shedding of droplets on the silicon wafer, preventing surface damage caused by the long-lasting adhesion of acidic solutions and alkaline solutions.
[0058] Furthermore, the driving member 57 includes a gear 571, and the two ends of the roller 56 are fixedly connected to the gears 571. A rack 572 is provided on the groove wall of the cleaning tank 6, and the teeth on the rack 572 are arranged in multiple sections at intervals. The rack 572 is higher than the upper surface of the chain conveyor and can engage with the gear 571. The rack 572 is located below the correction wheel 22. A groove 573 is provided on the top of the flexible tooth portion 53, and a number of protrusions 574 are evenly arranged on the concave surface of the groove 573.
[0059] Furthermore, expansion plates 575 are provided on both sides of the slot 4. The top of the expansion plates 575 is fixed to the top wall of the slide 52. The expansion plates 575 are arranged in a U-shaped structure 576. The outer diameter of the U-shaped structure 576 is larger than the groove diameter of the groove 573, and the outer diameter of the expansion plate 575 on the side facing the coil spring 55 is smaller than the outer diameter of the other side of the expansion plate 575. In this embodiment, another embodiment of the driving member 57 is provided, in which a gear 571 fixed to the end of the roller 56 is engaged with a rack 572 pre-matched and provided on the side wall of the cleaning tank 6. The gear 571 and the rack 572 are driven to rotate the transmission gear 571, which drives the roller 56 to rotate. The roller 56 then winds the rubbing strip 51. Through the transmission mechanism of the gear 571 and the rack 572, the power supply of the driving member 57 can be realized by utilizing the power of the chain conveyor, eliminating the need for a separate power source, thereby saving costs and reducing energy consumption.
[0060] At the same time, the chain conveyor drives the carrier 3 to move back and forth within the cleaning tank 6 over a short distance, so that the gear 571 and the rack 572 can engage and drive the roller 56 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby pulling and relaxing the rubbing bar 51. In conjunction with the automatic contraction of the coil spring, the rubbing bar 51 can move back and forth, causing the rubbing silicon wafer to rotate back and forth, so that it is fully exposed to the cleaning liquid and achieves the purpose of thorough cleaning. Since the rack 572 is only set in the cleaning tank 6, the rotary mechanism is idle in other states to prevent interference with the normal conveying process.
[0061] Furthermore, a groove 573 is provided on the top of the flexible tooth portion 53, and the cooperation of the groove 573 and the convex particle 574 is used to clamp the bottom area of the silicon wafer. In the process of the flexible protrusion continuously rubbing the silicon wafer to rotate, on the one hand, the expansion slot plate 575 on the right side is smaller on the right and larger on the left, and just enters the flexible tooth portion 53 that is about to contact the silicon wafer. The structure of the expansion slot plate 575 is used to expand the groove 573 to the maximum, which is convenient for the silicon wafer to fall into the groove 573 and partially clamp the silicon wafer under the action of its own elastic force, thereby preventing the silicon wafer from escaping from the bottom of the slot 4 when the flexible protrusion rubs the silicon wafer to rotate, and preventing the adjacent silicon wafers from tilting and colliding, thereby ensuring the safety of the silicon wafer; on the other hand, the expansion slot plate 575 on the left side can enter the flexible tooth portion 53 of the pre-detached silicon wafer, and the expansion slot plate 575 is used to press the groove 573 again. The flexible tooth portion 53 is stretched out for the second time, thereby separating the flexible tooth portion 53 from the silicon wafer, thereby avoiding the influence of the flexible protrusion in the non-working state on the rotational action of the flexible tooth portion 53 in the working state rubbing the silicon wafer; through the above-mentioned structural setting, on the one hand, the groove 573 and the expansion groove plate 575 are matched with each other, and the clamping effect of rubbing the silicon wafer is achieved when contacting with the silicon wafer. When the silicon wafer is about to be separated, the passive expansion is completely separated from the silicon wafer to prevent the influence on the subsequent rubbing action of the flexible protrusion; on the other hand, the transmission mechanism of the gear 571 and the rack 572 is used to effectively make secondary use of the action of the chain conveyor, which can not only realize the transportation of the carrier 3 and the silicon wafer, but also can drive the passive rubbing rotation mechanism 5 to work through the gear 571 and the rack 572, thereby realizing the organic combination and action linkage between the two, which is convenient and fast, and the cleaning effect is also stronger.
[0062] Furthermore, elastic clamping strips 577 are installed on both sides of the slot 4. The diameter of the middle area at the bottom of the slot 4 is smaller than the diameter of other areas at the bottom of the slot 4. The spacing between the elastic clamping strips 577 is gradually reduced from top to bottom. By setting the elastic clamping strips 577, the silicon wafer placed in the slot 4 is auxiliaryly clamped by utilizing its own elastic deformation ability. At the same time, by utilizing the smaller diameter of the middle area at the bottom of the slot 4, the flexible teeth 53 are forced to squeeze toward the center when passing through the middle area at the bottom of the slot 4, thereby further clamping the silicon wafer. However, upon encountering the slot expansion plate 575, the flexible teeth 53 immediately separate from the silicon wafer, thereby always maintaining the clamping effect of some flexible protrusions on the silicon wafer, while the other flexible protrusions are completely separated from the silicon wafer.
[0063] A plurality of cams 7 are axially arranged on one side of the gear 571 facing the carrier 3, and the cams 7 are arranged in an arc structure. A plurality of groups of support blocks 8 are arranged on the side wall of the cleaning tank 6, and each group of support blocks 8 is provided with two. The support blocks 8 are opposite to the area with the teeth of the rack 572, and a hammer 9 is slidably connected between the two support blocks 8. The hammer 9 is connected to the end of the piston rod 10 of the piston cylinder 11, and the piston cylinder 11 is fixed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 6, and a one-way nozzle 12 is provided at one end of the piston cylinder 11, and a one-way fluid replenishment port 13 is provided at the other end. In the present invention, the cam 7 and the hammer 9 cooperate. When the rack 572 and the gear 571 are meshed, and the silicon wafer is in the process of twisting and rotating, the gear 571 further drives the arc-shaped cam 7 to intermittently push the hammer 9 upward. The intermittent upward movement of the hammer 9 forcibly squeezes the cleaning liquid in the piston cylinder 11 and sprays it out from the one-way nozzle 12, and then directly sprays it on the surface of the rotating silicon wafer. Through the above-mentioned structure, the present invention uses the gear 571 and the rack 572 to drive the rotation mechanism 5 to operate, while driving the piston cylinder 11 to compress and spray the cleaning liquid. On the one hand, the power of the chain conveyor can be used to drive the rotation mechanism 5 to drive the silicon wafer to rotate to achieve full exposure and thorough cleaning. On the other hand, the rotation of the gear 571 can be used to spray the cleaning liquid through the hammer 9, the piston cylinder 11 and the one-way nozzle 12 during the silicon wafer selection process, so that the cleaning liquid is sprayed directly onto the rotating silicon wafer, thereby achieving the purpose of further rinsing the bottom area of the silicon wafer. At the same time, the use of the cleaning liquid spraying when the silicon wafer is rotating increases the local fluidity of the cleaning liquid, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the silicon wafer.
[0064] Furthermore, a plurality of toggle assemblies 14 are inserted in the middle position of the chain conveyor, and the toggle assemblies 14 are used to toggle the upper and lower layers of the chain conveyor. The toggle assembly 14 includes a toggle rod 141, and both ends of the toggle rod 141 are fixedly connected to a rocker rod 142, and the other end of the rocker rod 142 is rotatably mounted on the groove wall of the cleaning tank 6 through a No. 1 torsion spring 143. An eccentric wheel 144 is connected to the top of the toggle rod 141, and the eccentric wheel 144 is rotatably mounted on the groove wall of the cleaning tank 6 through a No. 2 torsion spring 145. The upper half of the eccentric wheel 144 in the long axis direction is located on the rotation path of the arc cam 7. A support plate 146 is provided in the middle of the toggle rod 141, and a plurality of support springs 147 are fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 146, and an impact block 148 is fixed on the bottom surface of the support spring 147. During implementation, by setting up the toggle assembly 14, when the gear 571 and rack 572 are in meshing transmission, the arc-shaped cam 7 is used to pass through the eccentric wheel 144, thereby toggling the upper half of the eccentric wheel 144, allowing the eccentric wheel 144 to overcome the second torsion spring 145 and deflect. At this time, the long axis direction of the eccentric wheel 144 gradually changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, leaving space for the toggle rod 141 below to swing upward, so under the action of the first torsion spring 143, the rocker rod 142 swings upward and always fits the eccentric wheel 144, so that the toggle rod 141 between the two rocker rods 142 swings up accordingly, thereby hitting the upper layer of the chain conveyor. On the one hand, the impact force is used to make the upper layer of the chain conveyor fluctuate, and then disturb the local cleaning fluid, allowing the cleaning fluid to flush the silicon wafer, achieving Further cleaning effect; on the other hand, after the cam 7 leaves the range of the eccentric wheel 144, the eccentric wheel 144 returns to its initial state under the reset action of the No. 2 torsion spring 145, thereby forcing the toggle rod 141 to swing down and reset. When the toggle rod 141 swings down and resets, the support spring 147 and the impact block 148 at the bottom just impact the lower surface of the chain conveyor, so that a local wave peak is formed on the surface of the chain conveyor, further strengthening the flow of the cleaning liquid at this location, which just flushes the silicon wafers on the carrier 3; at the same time, the upper and lower layers of the chain conveyor are intermittently toggled by the toggle component 14, and the conversion of the local wave peak posture is used to allow the impurities cleaned from the silicon wafers to fall from the upper and lower layers of the chain conveyor, preventing the impurities from accumulating and clumping on the chain conveyor, thus saving subsequent cleaning time.
