[0041] During specific operation, initially, the two guide frames 11 are fixed on the moving path of the semiconductor silicon wafer by existing bolts, and the two sliding blocks 13 are existing electric sliding blocks, which are connected to an existing power supply.
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 The positioning mechanism 14 includes an adjusting screw 141 threadedly connected to the right frame wall of the guide frame 11 , and the left end of the adjusting screw 141 is rotatably connected to a limiting block 142 located in the guide frame 11 .
[0043] During specific operation, the two adjusting screws 141 are rotated in sequence according to the position of the moving end point of the semiconductor silicon wafer. The two adjusting screws 141 drive the two limit blocks 142 to move to the required positions. The two limit blocks 142 block the moving distance of the two sliding blocks 13, thereby avoiding the deviation between the position of the sliding block 13 after movement and the actual required position, thereby realizing the function of accurately positioning the moving position of the sliding block 13.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Fig.10The adjustment mechanism 24 also includes four fixed plates 246 distributed in a rectangular shape and installed on the outer ring surface of the supporting ring plate 21. The fixed plates 246 are located in the corresponding rectangular through holes 242. One end of the fixed plates 246 away from the supporting ring plate 21 passes through and is rotatably connected to a limiting column 247. The limiting column 247 is located on the outside of the rotating ring 241 and is tightly attached to the outer ring surface of the rotating ring 241.
[0047] During specific operation, initially, the positioning rod 2452 is pushed according to the size of the semiconductor silicon wafer being transmitted. The positioning rod 2452 drives the rotating ring 241 to rotate on the inner side of multiple limiting pillars 247 at the same time. The multiple limiting pillars 247 have the function of annular limiting for the rotating ring 241 to avoid lateral displacement of the rotating ring 241. The rotating rotating ring 241 adjusts the placement range composed of multiple placement mechanisms 22 through multiple guide plates 243 to match it with the size of the semiconductor silicon wafer.

[0051] During specific operation, the telescopic spring 2453 is always in a stretched state during the rotation of the rotating ring 241. After multiple moved placement blocks 222 move to the desired positions, the locking rod 2452 moves to the opening end of the corresponding locking countersunk hole 2454, and then the clamping of the locking rod 2452 is released. The telescopic spring 2453 in the stretched state is reset and drives the locking rod 2452 to be inserted into the corresponding locking countersunk hole 2454, thereby limiting the rotating ring 241 through the arc plate 2451, thereby realizing the function of limiting multiple adjusted placement mechanisms 22.

A strip plate 353 is installed at the end of the lower pressure plate 352 away from the axis of the clamping ring 33, and the end of the strip plate 353 away from the lower pressure plate 352 slides through the clamping ring 33. A plurality of evenly distributed positioning holes 355 are opened on the strip plate 353, and a vertical positioning column 354 is inserted into the clamping ring 33, and the positioning column 354 is plugged into and matched with any one of the positioning holes 355.
[0056] During specific operation, the two hydraulic push rods 31 are initially connected to the existing hydraulic pump outside, and the two hydraulic push rods 31 are in the maximum stroke state. The two hydraulic push rods 31 drive the clamping ring 33 to the highest position in the working process through the two Z-type plates 32. Then, according to the size of the semiconductor silicon wafer, multiple strip plates 353 are slid in sequence, and the strip plates 353 drive the lower pressure plate 352 to move in the second opening 351. When the lower pressure plate 352 moves to the required position, the positioning column 354 is passed through the clamping ring 33 and inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 355, thereby limiting the lower pressure plate 352, further realizing the function of limiting the lower pressure plate 352.

[0059] During specific operation, after the multiple lower pressure plates 352 are limited in position, the two sliding blocks 13 are started, and the two sliding blocks 13 respectively drive the two rectangular frames 252 to move through the two connecting columns 255, and the two rectangular frames 252 drive the two I-shaped plates 251 to move through the two strip rods 253, and the two I-shaped plates 251 drive the supporting ring plate 21 to move, and the supporting ring plate 21 drives the semiconductor silicon wafer to move directly below the clamping ring 33 through the multiple placement mechanisms 22, and then the two hydraulic push rods 31 are started, and the two hydraulic push rods 31 drive the clamping ring 33 to move downward through the two Z-shaped plates 32, and the clamping ring 33 drives the multiple calibration rods 34 to move downward and plug into the corresponding fine-tuning holes 23, and the trumpet-shaped structure on the fine-tuning holes 23 guides the calibration rods 34. In the process of plugging and matching the calibration rod 34 with the multiple fine-tuning circular holes 23, the function of further fine-tuning the supporting ring plate 21 is realized, further ensuring the accuracy of the position of the supporting ring plate 21 after the semiconductor silicon wafer is moved by the multiple placement mechanisms 22.
