[0055] A wafer storage basket 9 is clamped on the cradle 7;

[0056] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an electromagnetic block 44 cooperating with the cradle 7 is fixedly mounted on the wafer storage basket 9, a slideway cooperating with the wafer storage basket 9 is provided at the bottom of the cradle 7, and a guide rail portion cooperating with the slideway is fixedly provided on the wafer storage basket 9;

[0057] Through the cooperation of the slide groove and the guide rail, the wafer storage basket 9 is accurately positioned and installed on the cradle 7. After the wafer storage basket 9 is accurately positioned and installed on the cradle 7, the wafer storage basket 9 can be magnetically attracted to the cradle 7 by the setting of the electromagnetic block 44, thereby realizing the accurate positioning of the wafer storage basket 9 on the cradle 7.

[0058] A wafer rotation generating module linked with the driving shaft 8 is installed on the wafer storage basket 9 , and a wafer body 10 is carried on the wafer storage basket 9 .

[0060] When the wafer storage basket 9 is installed on the cradle 7, the positions of the two fixed clamping shafts 37 correspond to the positions of the two driving shafts 8 respectively, and the friction disk 38 at the tail of the fixed clamping shaft 37 is pressed and fitted with the friction disk 38 at the front end of the driving shaft 8. When the friction disk 38 at the tail of the fixed clamping shaft 37 is pressed and fitted with the friction disk 38 at the front end of the driving shaft 8, the driving shaft 8 then drives the fixed clamping shaft 37 to rotate at a set speed. After the driving shaft 8 rotates, the wafer body 10 to be cleaned is driven to rotate at a set speed in the wafer storage basket 9;

[0062] When it is necessary to install the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9, the driving knob 40 drives the clamping screw rod 39, causing the two clamps 41 to move away from each other. After the two clamps 41 move away from each other, the two moving clamping shafts 42 are further separated. After the two moving clamping shafts 42 are fully separated, it is convenient to place the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9. When the wafer body 10 is placed on the wafer storage basket 9, the driving knob 40 drives the clamping screw rod 39, so that the two moving clamping shafts 42 can cooperate with the fixed clamping shaft 37 to achieve four-point positioning of the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9. Through four-point positioning, the stability of the wafer body 10 during cleaning is effectively improved. During cleaning, driven by the drive shaft 8, the wafer body 10 placed on the wafer storage basket 9 can rotate at a set speed. Through the rotation of the wafer body 10 during cleaning, the flushing degree of the cleaning liquid on the wafer body 10 is increased and the ultrasonic cleaning rod 14 can act on the wafer body 10 evenly. Moreover, through the rotation of the wafer body 10 during cleaning, the effect of flinging out dirt on the wafer body 10 can be improved by centrifugal force;

[0063] Working principle: When it is necessary to install the wafer storage basket 9 on the swing frame 7, the gate plate 12 is opened. During cleaning, the gate plate 12 is installed in the gate slot 11. Subsequently, a sufficient amount of cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning tank 1. When injecting the cleaning liquid, it should be ensured that the injection height of the cleaning liquid submerges the wafer body 10. During cleaning, the electric heater 13 heats the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 at a set power, and the ultrasonic cleaning rod 14 generates an ultrasonic frequency at a set power, thereby realizing ultrasonic cleaning of the wafer body 10. When it is necessary to install the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9, the driving knob 40 drives the clamping screw rod 39, causing the two clamps 41 to move away from each other. After the two clamps 41 move away from each other, the two moving clamping shafts 42 are further separated. After the two moving clamping shafts 42 are fully separated, it is convenient to place the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9. When the wafer body 10 is placed on the wafer storage basket 9, the driving knob 40 drives the clamping screw rod 39, so that the two moving clamping shafts 42 can cooperate with the fixed clamping shaft 37 to achieve four-point positioning of the wafer body 10 on the wafer storage basket 9. Through four-point positioning, the stability of the wafer body 10 during cleaning is effectively improved. During cleaning, driven by the drive shaft 8, the wafer body 10 placed on the wafer storage basket 9 can rotate at a set speed. Through the rotation of the wafer body 10 during cleaning, the flushing degree of the cleaning liquid on the wafer body 10 is increased and the ultrasonic cleaning rod 14 can act on the wafer body 10 evenly. Moreover, through the rotation of the wafer body 10 during cleaning, the effect of flinging out dirt on the wafer body 10 can be improved by centrifugal force. Through the double-vibration movement of the double-vibration frame 3, the wafer storage basket 9 can move in multiple directions during cleaning and achieve the effect of multi-directional cleaning.
