There are some shortcomings. The split support plate and support rod are used as the support of the entire mechanism, which is cumbersome to install and not easy to disassemble and repair later; the stepper motor is installed between the cylinder and the support plate, resulting in waste of space in the middle, and the cylinder stroke is also long, which increases the cost; the prior art is provided with a groove on the column composed of the side plate and the support rod, and the engineering drawing dimensional tolerance of the groove is not easy to control, or improper processing of the support rod during the processing may cause the driven shaft to move in series, thereby proposing a new roller rejection mechanism for silicon wafer production. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0004] In view of the following technical problems in the prior art: the split support plate and support rod serve as the support of the entire mechanism, which are cumbersome to install and not easy to disassemble and repair later; the stepper motor is installed between the cylinder and the support plate, resulting in waste of space in the middle, and the cylinder stroke is also longer, increasing costs; the groove at the connection between the side plate and the support rod, improper control of the dimensional tolerance of the engineering drawing, or improper processing of the support rod during the processing may cause the driven shaft to move in series.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a novel roller rejection mechanism for silicon wafer production, comprising a bottom plate, a plurality of columns are arranged on the upper side of the bottom plate, a connecting shaft is arranged on the columns, the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to a support plate, a placement frame is arranged on the upper side of the support plate, a plurality of connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the placement frame, rollers are arranged at both ends of the connecting shaft, and the support plate is also provided with an auxiliary mechanism;

[0006] The middle part of the bottom of the support plate is milled into a cavity, the movable end of the cylinder extends into the cavity, and the top end of the column extends into the cavity of the support plate.

[0007] The auxiliary mechanism includes a movable groove, a transmission belt, a nozzle, an elastic seat, cleaning bristles and a rubber block. A movable groove is respectively opened on both sides of the support plate, and a transmission belt is movably connected in each movable groove. The upper side of the transmission belt is arc-shaped, and a spraying groove is opened in the middle of the top of the transmission belt. A nozzle is arranged on the inner side of the spraying groove, and a scraping unit is respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the transmission belt;

[0008] The scraping unit comprises an elastic seat, cleaning bristles and a rubber block. The top of the elastic seat is provided with cleaning bristles and a rubber block, and the rubber block is distributed near the middle of the transmission belt.

[0009] As an optimal technical solution for a new roller rejection mechanism for silicon wafer production, a photoelectric sensor is arranged on the support plate, and the model of the photoelectric sensor is OS10-AKL150CN6.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of a new roller rejection mechanism for silicon wafer production, one of the connecting shafts is connected to a driving assembly, the driving assembly is arranged on a support plate, the roller arranged on the connecting shaft connected to the driving assembly is movably connected to an auxiliary mechanism, the driving assembly comprises a motor, a small pulley, a large pulley and a transmission belt, a large pulley is arranged at the power output end of the motor, a small pulley is arranged on one of the connecting shafts, and a transmission belt is connected between the large pulley and the small pulley;

[0011] The motor controls the rotation of the large pulley, which drives the small pulley to rotate through the transmission belt, and the small pulley drives the roller to rotate through the connecting shaft. The roller can drive the silicon wafer placed on the upper side of the roller to move.

[0014] The novel roller rejection mechanism for silicon wafer production of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: since the middle of the bottom of the support plate is milled into a cavity, the cylinder is installed between the motor and the column, and the column is an integrated structure. When the support plate is tilted downward, the column part enters the cavity of the support plate, which is convenient for the installation of the cylinder and also plays a role in weight reduction, greatly improving the efficiency of assembly and facilitating adjustment during the assembly process. The stroke of the cylinder is also reduced by half, and the space utilization rate of the entire mechanism is improved, thereby reducing costs.

[0015] By using a spray trough, a nozzle, an elastic seat, cleaning brush bristles and a rubber block, a water pump is used to draw water from a water tank and spray the water onto the roller through a nozzle, so that the periphery of the roller is moistened, thereby increasing the friction of the roller in transporting silicon wafers. The rubber block scrapes off excess water, and the cleaning brush bristles are frictionally connected to the outside of the roller to scrape off dust on the outside of the roller.
