[0046] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a fixed plate groove cleaning device, comprising:

[0047] The support frame 5 has an axial direction (reference Figure 1An arc-shaped slide rail 14 is provided on the top of the support frame 5 (in the X direction), and the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located is perpendicular to the axial direction of the support frame 5;

[0048] Support arm 9, one end of the support arm 9 is movably connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 14 through a slider 21, the other end of the support arm 9 is a free end, and is extended in a direction away from the arc-shaped slide rail 14, and the extension direction of the support arm 9 is parallel to the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located, and a linear slide rail 8 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the support arm 9, and the extension direction of the linear slide rail is parallel to the extension direction of the support arm 9 (reference Figure 1 parallel to the Y direction in the figure;

[0049] The scraper 12 is movably arranged on the linear slide rail 8;

[0050] a first control structure for controlling the support arm 9 to slide along the arc-shaped slide rail so that the position of the scraper 12 corresponds to the position of the groove to be cleaned on the fixed plate;

[0051] The second control structure is used to control the scraper 12 to move along the linear slide rail 8 to clean the grooves to be cleaned on the fixed plate.

[0052] A double-side grinding apparatus includes a frame 1 and an upper platen 7 and a lower platen 4 located within the frame 1. The upper platen 7 and the lower platen 4 are arranged relative to each other. A large amount of silicon slag and grinding powder may remain in the grooves of the lower platen 4, resulting in a poor drainage effect in the grooves. The platen groove cleaning device provided in this embodiment is primarily intended for cleaning the grooves of the lower platen 4. The lower platen 4 is generally a circular structure. During cleaning, the arc-shaped slide rail is located on one side of the lower platen 4, allowing the support arm 9 to drive the scraper 12 to be located above the lower platen 4. Setting the shape of the arc-shaped slide rail to match the shape of the lower platen 4 can save space. Thus, when the locking plate groove cleaning device is integrated with the grinding apparatus, the platen groove cleaning device can be integrated within the frame 1 of the grinding apparatus.

[0053] refer to Figure 3 For example, the arc-shaped slide rail can be semicircular in shape. When cleaning the fixed plate groove, the arc-shaped slide rail is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed plate. The arc-shaped slide rail can be concentrically arranged with the fixed plate to facilitate cleaning of the fixed plate groove.

[0054] Exemplarily, the length of the support arm 9 is greater than the radius of the fixed plate and smaller than the diameter of the fixed plate. In this way, after the support arm 9 moves from one end of the arc-shaped slide rail 14 to the other end to complete the cleaning of the groove portion on one side of the fixed plate close to the arc-shaped slide rail 14, the fixed plate can be rotated 180 degrees to clean the groove portion on the other side of the fixed plate (of course, the cleaning of all grooves on the fixed plate can also be completed by rotating the arc-shaped slide rail 14).

[0055] Exemplarily, the shape of the support frame 5 may also be an arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the arc-shaped slide rail 14 to facilitate supporting the arc-shaped slide rail 14 , but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0056] In some embodiments, the support frame 5 and the arc-shaped slide rail 14 are an integrated structure, the support frame 5 is an arc-shaped structure, and the top surface of the arc-shaped structure is recessed to form an arc-shaped slide groove, so that the top surface of the arc-shaped structure is constructed as the arc-shaped slide rail 14.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support frame 5 and the arc-shaped slide rail 14 are separate structures.

[0058] It should be noted that before cleaning the grooves of the fixed disk, the scraper 12 needs to be aligned with the corresponding grooves. The travel trajectory of the scraper 12 needs to coincide with the grooves to be cleaned, that is, the extension direction of the support arm 9 coincides with the grooves to be cleaned, or in other words, the orthographic projection of the support arm 9 on the fixed disk coincides with the grooves to be cleaned. Therefore, in some embodiments, an alignment structure is also provided. The alignment structure may include an image acquisition unit for acquiring images of the support arm 9 and the fixed disk. When the position of the support arm 9 and the groove to be cleaned deviates, correction can be made by rotating the fixed disk.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, a distance sensor is also provided on the support arm 9 for measuring the distance between the bottom of the groove to be cleaned and the support arm 9. The distance between the scraper 12 and the support arm 9 is fixed. Therefore, the distance between the scraper 12 and the bottom of the groove to be cleaned can be obtained by calculation, and then the scraper 12 can be brought into contact with the bottom of the groove to be cleaned by raising and lowering the fixed plate to clean the groove.

[0060] Exemplarily, a lifting structure can be set between the support frame 5 and the arc-shaped slide rail 14 to control the lifting and lowering movement of the arc-shaped slide rail 14 in the axial direction of the support frame 5, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering movement of the scraper 12 in the axial direction of the support frame 5, that is, the lifting and lowering movement in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, a third control structure is further included, which is arranged between the linear slide rail 8 and the scraper 12. The third control structure is used to control the scraper 12 to perform rotational movement. The rotation plane of the scraper 12 is parallel to the extension direction of the support frame 5, and the rotation plane of the scraper 12 is parallel to the extension direction of the support arm 9.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Exemplarily, the scraper 12 is a circular blade with a plurality of serrated blade portions protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the blade. The groove to be cleaned is cleaned by the control of the third control structure.

[0063] refer to Figure 2 In an exemplary embodiment, the third control structure includes a housing 13, a first driving portion disposed in the housing 13, and the first driving portion is connected to the scraper 12 via a first transmission portion;

[0064] The first transmission part includes a gearbox 27, which is used to control the scraper 12 to perform reciprocating motion between a first rotation state and a second rotation state, wherein the first rotation state includes the scraper 12 rotating in a clockwise direction, and the second rotation state includes the scraper 12 rotating in a counterclockwise direction.

[0065] By controlling the gearbox 27 , the scraper 12 is caused to perform reciprocating oscillating motion between the first rotation state and the second rotation state, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0066] Exemplarily, the scraper 12 performs reciprocating oscillating motion within a preset angle range, that is, in the first rotation state, the scraper 12 rotates clockwise by a first preset angle, and in the second rotation state, the scraper 12 rotates counterclockwise by a second preset angle. The first preset angle and the second preset angle are both less than 90 degrees, and the first preset angle and the second preset angle may be the same or different.

[0067] The above solution can reduce the contact area between the scraper 12 and the groove to be cleaned, thereby reducing damage to the groove to be cleaned by the scraper 12. It should be noted that the smaller the first preset angle and the second preset angle, the less damage to the groove. In some embodiments, the first preset angle and the second preset angle are both 1 degree, but this is not limited to this.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the flat plate groove cleaning device further includes a fourth control structure, the fourth control structure being used to control the scraper 12 to perform lifting movement in a first direction, the first direction being parallel to the axial direction of the support frame 5;

[0069] The fourth control structure includes a second driving part 29 and a second transmission part, the second driving part 29 is arranged on the base 25, the second transmission part includes a gear arranged on the base 25, and a sawtooth structure 28 arranged on the side of the shell 13, the sawtooth structure 28 includes a plurality of sawteeth arranged along the first direction, and the sawteeth are meshed with the gear.

[0070] The setting of the fourth control structure can control the scraper 12 to extend into the interior of the groove to clean the groove when cleaning the groove. After the cleaning of the current groove is completed, the scraper 12 can be controlled to move in the opposite direction to disengage from the current groove, so that it can move to the next groove for cleaning as the support arm 9 moves.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the housing 13 includes a first side surface and a second side surface that are relatively arranged in the extension direction of the support arm 9, the serrated structure 28 is provided on the first side surface, and a scale 19 is provided on the area of ​​the base 25 close to the second side surface, the extension direction of the scale 19 is parallel to the extension direction of the support frame 5, and the second side surface is provided with a pointer 20 pointing to the scale 19.

[0072] The pointing direction of the pointer 20 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the scale 19. In some embodiments, the movement of the scraper 12 can be controlled by measuring the distance between the scraper 12 and the groove to clean the groove. However, in order to improve efficiency, the data of the lifting and lowering of the scraper 12 is only obtained when the first groove is cleaned, so that when cleaning subsequent grooves, it is only necessary to refer to the data of the first lifting and lowering of the scraper 12 (it should be noted that the distance between the support arm 9 and the fixed plate can be fixed. When cleaning all the grooves on the fixed plate, it is only necessary to control the support arm 9 to translate along the arc-shaped slide rail 14, and there is no need to move the support arm 9 in a direction perpendicular to the fixed plate). For example, after fixing the support arm 9 in a direction perpendicular to the fixed plate, the distance between the support arm 9 and the fixed plate is measured to obtain the first distance between the scraper 12 and the bottom of the current groove, and then the scraper 12 is controlled to descend the first distance. After cleaning the groove, the scraper 12 is controlled to move in the opposite direction to rise the first distance. When cleaning the remaining grooves, it is only necessary to control the scraper 12 to rise and fall the first distance after the support arm 9 is translated to the corresponding groove position along the arc slide rail.

[0073] The setting of the scale 19 facilitates the control of the lifting and lowering movement of the scraper 12 .

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the support arm 9 is rotatably connected to the slider 21 via a rotation axis so as to be rotatable in a plane parallel to the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located.

[0075] By adopting the above scheme, it is possible to achieve fine adjustment of the angle of the support arm 9 in a plane parallel to the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located, so that when cleaning the groove of the fixed plate, the extension of the support arm 9 coincides with the groove to be cleaned, thereby making the travel path (i.e., the travel trajectory) of the scraper 12 coincide with the groove to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect and avoiding damage to the groove.

[0076] It should be noted that when cleaning the grooves of the fixed plate, the support arm 9 is arranged parallel to the fixed plate, the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located is parallel to the surface of the fixed plate, and the scraper 12 can move along the linear slide rail 8 on the support arm 9. By fine-tuning the support arm 9, the cleaning efficiency can be improved.

[0077] refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, the fixed plate groove cleaning device further includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the rotation angle of the support arm 9 in a plane parallel to the plane where the arc-shaped slide rail 14 is located;

[0078] The regulating structure comprises:

[0079] a laser level 17, provided on the bottom surface of the support arm 9, for generating a reference line on the fixed plate to be cleaned, wherein the extension direction of the reference line is parallel to the extension direction of the support arm 9, and the reference line coincides with the travel path of the scraper 12;

[0080] The processing part is used to control the support arm 9 to rotate when the reference line and the groove to be cleaned on the fixed plate are offset so that the reference line coincides with the groove to be cleaned on the fixed plate.

[0081] The laser beam emitted by the laser level 17 can form a clear straight line on the fixed disk, that is, form a clear reference line. The reference line is set to coincide with the travel path of the scraper 12. Then, by controlling the support arm 9 to rotate so that the reference line coincides with the groove to be cleaned, the travel path of the scraper 12 can be made to coincide with the groove to be cleaned.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, a protective cover is provided on a side of the scraper 12 close to the support arm 9 to prevent debris removed by the scraper 12 from splashing onto the scraper 12 during the cleaning process.

[0083] Exemplarily, the protective cover completely covers the scraper 12 in the axial direction of the support frame 5 .

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, a receiving groove is provided at one end of the support arm 9 for connecting with the slider 21, and the receiving groove is used for inserting the rotating shaft;

[0085] The fixed plate groove cleaning device also includes a locking structure 26 for locking the rotating shaft, and the locking structure 26 includes a through hole arranged on the side of the support arm 9, and a bolt installed in the through hole. The through hole is connected to the accommodating groove, and the bolt can be screwed into the through hole and abut against the rotating shaft to lock the rotating shaft.

[0086] In order to prevent the support arm 9 from deviating while the scraper 12 moves along the linear slide rail 8, the support arm 9 is locked by the locking structure 26 to prevent the support arm 9 from rotating, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and avoiding damage to the groove.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, a positioning member is provided between the slider 21 and the arc-shaped slide rail 14. The positioning member can be a positioning groove provided on the arc-shaped slide rail 14, and a positioning block matching the positioning groove. The positioning block is movable and cooperates with the positioning groove to fix the slider 21 when the slider 21 needs to be positioned to prevent the slider 21 from moving.

[0088] refer to Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment, the fixed disc groove cleaning device further includes a spray structure, which includes a nozzle 10 arranged in front of the scraper 12 in the direction of travel of the scraper 12, and the nozzle 10 is used to spray clean water toward the scraper 12.

[0089] The spray structure further includes a pipe 16 for supplying clean water to the nozzle 10 .

[0090] The nozzle 10 sprays clean water toward the scraper 12 to clean the scraper 12 to ensure a cleaning effect and to cool the scraper 12 .

[0091] Exemplarily, the nozzle 10 sprays cooling water toward the scraper 12 .

[0092] Exemplarily, the spray structure further includes a nozzle for spraying clean water toward the fixed plate, so as to clean the impurities after the scraper 12 cleans the grooves.

[0093] Exemplarily, the platen groove cleaning device further includes a blowing structure, which includes an air outlet for spraying inert clean gas toward the platen to blow away impurities generated after the scraper 12 cleans the grooves and achieve a drying effect.

[0094] It should be noted that the order of using the blowing structure and the spraying structure can be set according to actual needs. For example, after the scraper 12 cleans the grooves of the fixed plate, the blowing structure can be used to blow away impurities on the fixed plate, and then the spraying structure can be used to clean the fixed plate, and then the blowing structure can be used to dry it. Alternatively, the spraying structure can be used to clean the fixed plate first, and then the blowing structure can be used to blow and dry it.

[0095] refer to Figure 4 In an exemplary embodiment, the fixed disc groove cleaning device includes a control unit, which is used to send corresponding control instructions to the first control structure, the second control structure, the third control structure and / or the fourth control structure, and the first control structure, the second control structure, the third control structure and / or the fourth control structure perform corresponding operations according to the control instructions. The control unit includes a human-computer interaction control panel 24, which is used to receive information (for example, receiving information from the distance sensor, or receiving information from the laser level 17, etc.) and input control instructions to control the working status of the first control structure, the second control structure, the third control structure and / or the fourth control structure.

[0096] refer to Figure 4 Exemplarily, the operating platform of the control unit also includes a start button 23 and a power button 22. The start button 23 is used to control the on / off state of the cleaning operation of the fixed disc groove cleaning device, and the power button 22 is used to control the power-on state of the fixed disc groove cleaning device.

[0097] The control unit is electrically connected to the first control structure, the second control structure, the third control structure and / or the fourth control structure via a signal connection line 15.
