Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of diamond wire cutting processing, and in particular relates to a diamond wire outer circle processing device. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide, lithium tantalate, and lithium niobate are widely used in high temperature, high frequency, high power, low energy consumption, optical technology industries, etc. due to their unique excellent physical and chemical properties, and related industries are developing rapidly in my country.

[0003] At present, the common processing technology of this type of crystal material is: 1. Crystal orientation - 2. Surface grinder processes the two end faces of the crystal - 3. Cylindrical grinder grinds the outer circle of the crystal to obtain a crystal with a quasi-standard diameter - 4. Cylindrical grinder fine-grinds the silicon carbide crystal of quasi-standard diameter to obtain a crystal with a standard diameter - 5. Surface grinder grinds the OFF surface (plane) of the outer circle - 6. Multi-wire cutting machine cuts the crystal into wafers - 7. Wafer grinding - 8. Wafer polishing - 9. Wafer inspection and cleaning.

[0004] At present, this type of crystal outer circle processing has several common pain points:

[0005] 1. The process of grinding the excess material of the outer ring into powder by a grinding wheel to obtain a crystal with a quasi-standard diameter requires the entire outer circle to be processed into powder, which is a large workload, causes large wear and tear on the grinding wheel and machine tools, and results in high processing costs;

[0006] 2. Some crystal materials are expensive, and grinding the outer ring into powder will cause great waste. Calculated at a unit price of 1,000 yuan per kilogram, each ton of material ground into powder will cause a direct economic loss of 1 million yuan, not including the manpower and material costs of the processing process;

[0007] 3. During the tightening process on the grinding machine, due to the large tightening force, large feed volume and large grinding force during rough grinding, crystal cracking often occurs during processing, thereby reducing the yield and causing economic losses. For this reason, we propose a diamond wire external cylindrical processing equipment. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention provides a diamond wire outer circle processing device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a diamond wire outer circle processing equipment, a base, providing an installation foundation for the equipment;

[0010] Rack, which provides a foundation for equipment installation;

[0011] A linear moving device, comprising a moving platform, a moving driving source, a screw driving component, a guide rail component and a protective cover;

[0012] A rotating device for providing rotational power to the material being processed;

[0013] Vacuum suction cup, used for vacuum adsorption and fixing of processed materials;

[0014] A diamond wire cutting device comprises a tensioning winding wheel, a driving winding wheel, a plurality of groups of driven winding wheels and a diamond wire.

[0015] Furthermore, the linear moving device comprises:

[0016] The guide rail component is arranged on the base, and comprises a guide rail and a slider which slides linearly on the guide rail;

[0017] A moving platform, connected to a slider that slides linearly on the guide rail component, is used to achieve linear movement of the processed material;

[0018] A mobile driving source, the mobile driving source is connected to the screw driving component through a coupling, and is used to drive the screw driving component to rotate so as to drive the mobile platform to move linearly;

[0019] A screw drive component for converting the rotational motion of the mobile drive source into horizontal linear motion;

[0020] The protective cover is used to isolate the coolant and processing powder during the processing, and prevent the coolant and processing powder from entering the guide components and the screw drive components.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotating device comprises:

[0022] The rotating device housing is used to provide a mounting base for the components of the rotating device;

[0023] A turntable bearing is installed on the housing of the rotating device to provide rotation support for the rotating device;

[0024] The turntable bearing seat is used to install the turntable bearing and provide physical support for the turntable bearing;

[0025] A rotating platform, mounted on the inner ring of the turntable bearing, for providing a rotating output platform;

[0026] A rotating connector, used to connect the rotating platform and the vacuum suction cup;

[0027] A rotary drive source is installed in the housing of the rotary device to provide rotary power for the rotary device;

[0028] A driving source protection cover is installed on the rotating device housing and is used to isolate the rotating driving source from the external environment;

[0029] A reduction device, one end of which is connected to the rotary drive source, and the other end of which is connected to the rotary platform, is used to reduce the rotation speed output by the rotary drive source according to a reduction ratio and output the rotation speed to the rotary platform.

[0030] Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup is threadedly connected to the rotating connector, the surface of the vacuum suction cup is a planar structure, and a plurality of staggered grooves are arranged on the upper surface of the vacuum suction cup along the circumferential direction and the diameter direction.

[0031] Furthermore, the active winding wheel is arranged on the surface of the frame, and the active winding wheel is connected to the output end of the driving source installed in the frame through a coupling, the tensioning winding wheel and the driven winding wheel are rotatably connected to the base through a rotating shaft, and the surfaces of the tensioning winding wheel, the diamond wire and the driven winding wheel are sequentially sleeved with diamond wire.

[0032] Furthermore, the tensioning winding wheel is also a driven winding wheel.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] 1. There is no need to process all the excess crystal materials on the outer circle into powder to obtain a standard diameter crystal. Instead, high-speed diamond wire is used for grinding. Only the crystal ring area with the width of the diamond wire diameter needs to be processed into powder. After processing, the semiconductor crystal blank is divided into the processed crystal of the inner quasi-standard size and the excess crystal ring waste on the outer side. This greatly reduces the workload of grinding and the wear and tear of the grinding wheel, and reduces the production cost.

[0035] 2. The outer circle and OFF edge (flat edge) of the crystal can be cut into shape at one time, replacing the traditional process of first grinding the outer circle with an external cylindrical grinder and then grinding the OFF edge with a surface grinder, saving time, labor and processing costs.

[0036] 3. When there are local defects on the periphery of the crystal, the cylindrical grinder needs eccentric clamping, which is difficult to adjust, takes a long time to process, and is difficult to process. However, the present invention only needs to offset the crystal on the suction cup by a certain distance, which hardly increases the workload and is easy to use.

[0037] 4. The crystal is fixed with a vacuum chuck, which greatly reduces the clamping force of the crystal and the grinding force is also very small, effectively solving the problem of cracking in the processing of some crystals in the prior art and improving the economic efficiency.

The linear moving device is used to push the rotating device 3 to move linearly horizontally, so that the linear moving device pushes the vacuum suction cup 2 to move through the rotating device 3, and the vacuum suction cup 2 pushes the workpiece to be processed to move, so as to facilitate moving the workpiece to be processed to the diamond wire 5;

The diamond wire 5 is sequentially sleeved on the surfaces of the tensioning winding wheel 4, the active winding wheel 6 and the driven winding wheel 7. The tensioning winding wheel 4 is also the driven winding wheel 7. When the output end of the driving source drives the active winding wheel 6 to rotate, the active winding wheel 6 pulls the tensioning winding wheel 4 and the driven winding wheel 7 through the diamond wire 5 to rotate at high speed. The driven winding wheel 7 rotates at high speed following the active winding wheel 6 driven by the diamond wire 5. Under the action of the tensioning winding wheel 4, the diamond wire 5 forms a section of diamond wire 5 with a certain tension between the two winding wheels.

The screw drive component 11 includes a screw bearing seat, a screw arranged in parallel with the guide rail component 13, a coupling, and a screw nut connected to the screw. When the mobile drive source 12 performs a rotational motion, the motion is transmitted to the screw through the coupling so that the screw and the mobile drive source 12 perform a rotational motion together, thereby driving the screw nut to convert the rotational motion into linear motion.

[0057] The shield 14 is used to isolate the coolant and processing powder during the processing, and prevent the coolant and processing powder from entering the guide rail component 13 and the screw drive component 11.

When the diamond wire 5 maintaining a certain tension between the two winding wheels moves at high speed driven by the active winding wheel 6, the processed material fixed on the vacuum suction cup 2 is translated in a direction close to the diamond wire 5 driven by the rotating device 3, and the diamond wire 5 cuts into the processed material along the diameter direction of the processed material.

[0069] The base 1 is a square frame structure, the bottom of which is placed on the ground. The guide rail component 13 and the screw drive component 11 are installed on the base 1. The screw drive component 11 is connected to the slider of the guide rail component 13 and the screw nut of the screw drive component 11 respectively.

When working, the mobile drive source 12 performs a rotational motion, and the mobile drive source 12 drives the screw drive component 11 to perform a rotational motion. At the same time, the screw in the screw drive component 11 is threadedly matched with the screw nut, so that the nut moves linearly on the surface of the screw, driving the mobile platform 8 connected to the screw nut to perform a linear horizontal motion along the slider set in the guide rail component 13.
