[0051] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0052] Example

[0053] This embodiment provides a support column driving structure on a wafer support plate of a single wafer cleaning device, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0054] The disk 1 has an installation space inside;

[0055] The rotating member 2 comprises an inner ring 21 and an outer ring 22. The inner ring 21 has inner teeth 211, and the outer ring 22 has outer teeth 221. The inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 are connected by a connecting portion, and other parts except the connecting portion are hollow.

[0056] The driving member 3 is meshed with the inner teeth 211 and is used to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate so that the rotating member 2 changes between an initial state and a clamping state;

[0057] The elastic member 6 is used to apply elastic force to the rotating member 2 to restore the rotating member 2 to an initial state;

[0058] The counterweight body 7 includes a rotating column 71 and a protrusion 72 disposed on the rotating column 71, wherein one end of the protrusion 72 close to the rotating column 71 has a counterweight body gear 721 meshing with the external teeth 221, and the other end of the protrusion 72 extends in a direction away from the rotating column 71 and forms a weight end 722;

[0059] The support column driving gear 8 is meshed with the outer teeth 221, and the rotating member 2 changes from the initial state to the clamping state to drive the support column driving gear 8 to swing.

[0060] The support column driving structure on the wafer support plate of the single-wafer cleaning device of this embodiment has an outer tooth 221 on the outer ring 22 of the rotating part 2. The outer tooth 221 is meshed with the support column driving gear 8 and the counterweight body 7 at the same time. The counterweight body 7 has a damping effect on the rotation of the rotating part 2. At the same time, the direction of the damping effect is consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating part 2, which can stabilize the rotation of the rotating part 2, reduce vibration, and improve the safety of the support column when clamping the wafer.

[0061] The unenlarged end of the weight end 722 may also be a mounted weight block.

[0062] Furthermore, the counterweight gear 721 is a sector gear, that is, a gear having only one arc section. The sector gear can save materials and reduce the volume of the disc 1 at the same time.

[0063] Furthermore, the elastic member 6 always applies elastic force to the rotating member 2, and once the driving member 3 no longer applies driving force, the rotating member 2 can immediately return from the clamped state to the initial state. The elastic member 6 includes a spring 61, one end of the spring 61 is connected to a fixing column 62 located on the rotating member 2, and the other end is connected to a fixing member 63 located on the disk surface 1.

[0064] Furthermore, the rotating member 2 is provided with an arc groove 24, and the fixing member 63 passes through the arc groove 24 to connect with the disk surface 1, so that all the fixing columns 62 and the connecting columns of the fixing member 63 and the disk surface 1 are located in the same circle. All the fixing columns 62 and the connecting columns of the fixing member 63 and the disk surface 1 are in the same circle, which can make the elastic force consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating member 2, and make the elastic force highly efficiently converted into the force to drive the rotating member 2 (that is, the elastic force is basically distributed along the tangent direction of the arc, and there is no need to decompose it in the diameter direction of the circle, thereby reducing the driving efficiency of the elastic force). In the actual assembly process, the different spring elastic coefficients will not cause the rotating member 2 to be subjected to force in one direction (the force in the diameter direction cannot be balanced).

[0065] The support column driving gear 8 is connected to the support column, and the support column is located on the top surface of the disk surface 1. The support column can swing to clamp or loosen the wafer.

[0066] Furthermore, a first pressing block 41 and / or a second pressing block 42 are provided on the disk surface 1 . The first pressing block 41 is used to press the inner ring 21 , and the second pressing block 42 is used to press the outer ring 22 .

[0067] Furthermore, the inner sides of the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 have inwardly recessed steps 23 , and the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 abut against the steps 23 .

[0068] Furthermore, the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 are arc-shaped blocks, and the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 are connected to the disk surface 1 by screws.

[0069] Furthermore, a plurality of clamping wheels 5 are provided on the disk surface 1 , and the clamping wheels 5 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the outer ring 22 .

[0070] Based on the above ideal embodiments of this application, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this application through the above description. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
