[0016] (III) Beneficial effects
[0017] The present invention provides a cross-contamination-free tank-type wafer cleaning machine, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) The cleaning machine is provided with a receiving device. When fixing the wafer, the pneumatic push rods installed on both sides of the fixing frame drive the two sliding plates inside the fixing frame to approach each other, so that the wafer can be stuck between the fixing components on both sides. Therefore, wafers of different sizes can be fixed by extending and retracting the pneumatic push rods, thereby improving the use range and versatility of the equipment.
[0019] (ii) The cleaning machine is provided with a V-shaped spring piece. When the arc-shaped limit frame approaches the wafer under the drive of the telescopic cylinder and the limit slide, the V-shaped spring piece can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual shape of the wafer edge. It can fit the irregular part of the wafer edge tightly, ensuring that each arc-shaped limit frame can fully contact the wafer, thereby enhancing the fixation effect on the wafer and preventing the wafer from displacement or shaking during the cleaning and nitrogen purge process. At the same time, the elasticity of the V-shaped spring piece can also absorb and buffer the impact force, so that the arc-shaped limit frame can contact the wafer more gently, disperse and weaken the impact force during the fixation process, and effectively protect the wafer from damage.
[0020] (III) The cleaning machine is provided with a limit slide, and the limit slide can slide up and down along the outer side of the fixed plate by the extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder, so that the limit column slides in the limit groove. During the sliding of the limit column, the slide can drive the distance between each two adjacent arc-shaped limit frames to increase or decrease, thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent wafers, ensuring that the cleaning liquid flows smoothly between adjacent wafers, avoiding the formation of cleaning dead corners due to the small spacing causing the cleaning liquid to flow poorly, and affecting the cleaning effect.
[0021] (IV) The cleaning machine is provided with a gas storage device. When the connecting tube moves upward and contacts the gas guide assembly, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle fixed on the mounting plate by the fixing frame can flow from the gas guide assembly to the connecting tube. Then the nitrogen in the connecting tube can flow into the hose through the manifold and finally enter the jet pipe through the inner cavity of the arc-shaped limit frame. At this time, the nitrogen can be blown onto the surface of the wafer after being guided by the jet pipe, blowing off the cleaning liquid attached to the surface of the wafer to avoid cross infection.
[0022] (V) The cleaning machine is provided with an air guide component. The top end of the connecting pipe accurately pushes the sliding pipe upward after being guided by the guide cover. At this time, the compression spring is compressed, and the baffle plate is separated from the annular baffle plate. At this time, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle can flow downward through the gap between the baffle plate and the annular baffle plate in the ventilation pipe, and enter the bottom of the ventilation pipe through the bent pipe, and then enter the sliding pipe through the rectangular hole, and finally flow into the connecting pipe through the ventilation hole, thereby realizing the seamless connection of the cleaning and drying processes. The nitrogen purge function can be automatically turned on without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation degree and work efficiency of the cleaning machine.
[0023] (VI) The cleaning machine is provided with a baffle and an annular baffle. When the receiving device descends and the connecting tube is separated from the air guide assembly, the compression spring returns to its original state, causing the baffle to contact the annular baffle again and close the nitrogen channel. This elastic reset mechanism ensures that the equipment can automatically return to its initial state after each use, ensuring the reliability and stability of the equipment. The cooperation between the baffle and the annular baffle acts as a switch. The nitrogen channel will only open when the connecting tube pushes the sliding tube upward. This design effectively prevents nitrogen leakage caused by misoperation or equipment failure, ensuring the safety of the operator and the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, when the nitrogen channel is closed, it can prevent external impurities from entering the ventilation pipe, ensuring the purity of the nitrogen. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The trough-type wafer cleaning machine mainly relies on the cleaning trough 2 on the base 1 to complete the wafer cleaning operation. First, pre-wash liquid, main wash liquid and rinse liquid are added to the cleaning trough 2 in sequence, and then the wafer to be cleaned is placed in the receiving device 8. The horizontal screw rod 3 and the vertical screw rod 5 are used to drive the movable frame 4 and the movable seat 6 to move respectively, so that the receiving device 8 can accurately place the wafer into the cleaning trough 2 for cleaning, and after the cleaning, the nitrogen provided by the gas storage device 7 is used to purge the cleaning liquid on the surface of the wafer; by driving the horizontal screw rod 3 to rotate through the driving motor installed on the outer side of the base 1, the movable frame 4 can drive the receiving device 8 to move, so that the wafer can reach the top of the cleaning trough 2 filled with different cleaning liquids, and then the adjusting motor on the top of the movable frame 4 drives the vertical screw rod 5 to rotate, so as to adjust the height of the receiving device 8, so that the wafer can be accurately immersed in the cleaning liquid.

After the cleaning is completed, the adjusting motor drives the vertical screw 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, and drives the receiving device 8 and the wafer to move upward, thereby separating from the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 2. In this process, when the connecting tube 80 moves upward and contacts the air guide component 74, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle 73 fixed on the mounting plate 71 by the fixing frame 72 can flow from the air guide component 74 to the connecting tube 80, and then the nitrogen in the connecting tube 80 can flow into the hose 872 through the manifold 89, and finally enter the injection pipe 873 through the inner cavity of the arc-shaped limit frame 871. At this time, the nitrogen can be blown onto the surface of the wafer after being guided by the injection pipe 873, and the cleaning liquid attached to the surface of the wafer is blown off to avoid cross infection;
[0039] When the top end of the connecting tube 80 contacts the bottom of the air guide assembly 74, as the connecting tube 80 continues to move upward, the top end of the connecting tube 80 accurately pushes the sliding tube 742 upward after being guided by the guide cover 744. At this time, the compression spring 743 is compressed, and the baffle 745 is separated from the annular baffle 746. At this time, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle 73 can flow downward through the gap between the baffle 745 and the annular baffle 746 in the ventilation pipe 741, and enter the bottom of the ventilation pipe 741 through the curved pipe 749, and then enter the sliding tube 742 through the rectangular hole 748, and finally flow into the connecting tube 80 through the ventilation hole 747, thereby realizing a seamless connection between the cleaning and drying processes, and the nitrogen purge function can be automatically turned on without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation degree and working efficiency of the cleaning machine.
[0040] When the receiving device 8 descends and the connecting pipe 80 is separated from the air guide component 74, the compression spring 743 returns to its original state, so that the baffle 745 contacts the annular baffle 746 again and closes the nitrogen channel. This elastic reset mechanism ensures that the device can automatically return to its initial state after each use, ensuring the reliability and stability of the device. The cooperation between the baffle 745 and the annular baffle 746 acts as a switch. The nitrogen channel will only open when the connecting pipe 80 pushes the sliding pipe 742 upward. This design effectively prevents nitrogen leakage caused by misoperation or equipment failure, ensuring the safety of the operator and the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, when the nitrogen channel is closed, it can prevent external impurities from entering the vent pipe 741, ensuring the purity of the nitrogen.
[0041] The receiving device 8 includes a fixed frame 81, the inner side of the fixed frame 81 is slidably connected with a sliding plate 82, the outer side of the sliding plate 82 is fixedly connected with a pneumatic push rod 83, the outer side of the sliding plate 82 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 84, both sides of the fixed plate 84 are fixedly connected with telescopic cylinders 85, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 85 is fixedly connected with a limiting slide plate 86, the inner side of the fixed plate 84 is slidably connected with a fixed component 87, the top of the fixed component 87 is fixedly connected with a manifold 89, and the top of the manifold 89 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 80; the outer side of the fixed frame 81 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable seat 6, the two sides of the fixed frame 81 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the pneumatic push rod 83, the two sides of the limiting slide plate 86 are slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed plate 84, and the two sides of the manifold 89 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 81. When fixing the wafer, the pneumatic push rods 83 installed on both sides of the fixing frame 81 drive the two sliding plates 82 inside the fixing frame 81 to move closer to each other, so that the wafer can be stuck between the fixing components 87 on both sides. In this way, wafers of different sizes can be fixed by extending and retracting the pneumatic push rods 83, thereby improving the scope of use and versatility of the equipment.
[0042] The fixing assembly 87 includes an arc-shaped limit frame 871, the outer side of the arc-shaped limit frame 871 is fixedly connected with a V-shaped spring piece 874, the outer side of the V-shaped spring piece 874 is fixedly connected with a slider 875, the top of the arc-shaped limit frame 871 is fixedly connected with a hose 872, the side of the arc-shaped limit frame 871 away from the V-shaped spring piece 874 is fixedly connected with an injection pipe 873, the outer side of the slider 875 is fixedly connected with a limit column 876, the outer side of the limit column 876 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limit slide 86 through a limit groove 88, and the limit groove 88 is opened in the wall of the limit slide 86, the outer side of the slider 875 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed plate 84, the top of the hose 872 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the manifold 89, and when the arc-shaped limit frame 871 approaches the wafer under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 85 and the limit slide 86, the V-shaped spring piece 874 can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual shape of the wafer edge. It can fit the irregular part of the edge of the wafer tightly, ensuring that each arc-shaped limit frame 871 can fully contact the wafer, thereby enhancing the fixing effect on the wafer and preventing the wafer from displacement or shaking during cleaning and nitrogen purging. At the same time, the elasticity of the V-shaped spring 874 can also absorb and buffer this impact force, so that the arc-shaped limit frame 871 can contact the wafer more gently, disperse and weaken the impact force during the fixing process, and effectively protect the wafer from damage. At the same time, through the telescopic cylinder 85, the limit slide plate 86 can slide up and down along the outer side of the fixed plate 84, so that the limit column 876 slides in the limit groove 88. During the sliding process of the limit column 876, the slider 875 can drive the distance between each two adjacent arc-shaped limit frames 871 to increase or decrease, thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent wafers, ensuring that the cleaning liquid flows smoothly between adjacent wafers, and avoiding the poor flow of the cleaning liquid due to too small a spacing, forming a cleaning dead angle, and affecting the cleaning effect.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] When in use, the tank-type wafer cleaning machine mainly relies on the cleaning tank 2 on the base 1 to complete the wafer cleaning operation. First, pre-wash liquid, main wash liquid and rinse liquid are added to the cleaning tank 2 in sequence, and then the wafer to be cleaned is placed in the receiving device 8. The horizontal screw 3 and the vertical screw 5 are used to drive the movable frame 4 and the movable seat 6 to move respectively, so that the receiving device 8 can accurately place the wafer into the cleaning tank 2 for cleaning, and after the cleaning is completed, the cleaning liquid on the wafer surface is purged with nitrogen provided by the gas storage device 7.
[0045] The driving motor installed on the outside of the base 1 drives the horizontal screw 3 to rotate, so that the mobile frame 4 drives the receiving device 8 to move, so that the wafer can reach the top of the cleaning tank 2 filled with different cleaning liquids, and then the adjusting motor on the top of the mobile frame 4 drives the vertical screw 5 to rotate, so that the height of the receiving device 8 can be adjusted, so that the wafer can be accurately immersed in the cleaning liquid;
[0046] When fixing the wafer, the pneumatic push rods 83 installed on both sides of the fixing frame 81 drive the two sliding plates 82 inside the fixing frame 81 to move closer to each other, so that the wafer can be stuck between the fixing components 87 on both sides. In this way, wafers of different sizes can be fixed by extending and retracting the pneumatic push rods 83, thereby improving the scope of use and versatility of the equipment.
[0047] When the arc-shaped limit frame 871 approaches the wafer under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 85 and the limit slide 86, the V-shaped spring piece 874 can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual shape of the wafer edge. It can fit the irregular part of the wafer edge tightly, ensuring that each arc-shaped limit frame 871 can fully contact the wafer, thereby enhancing the fixation effect on the wafer and preventing the wafer from displacement or shaking during the cleaning and nitrogen purge process. At the same time, the elasticity of the V-shaped spring piece 874 can also absorb and buffer this impact force, so that the arc-shaped limit frame 871 can contact the wafer more gently, disperse and weaken the impact force during the fixation process, and effectively protect the wafer from damage;
[0048] At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 85 can be extended and retracted to make the limiting slide plate 86 slide up and down along the outer side of the fixed plate 84, so that the limiting column 876 can slide in the limiting groove 88. During the sliding of the limiting column 876, the slider 875 can drive the distance between each two adjacent arc-shaped limiting frames 871 to increase or decrease, thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent wafers to ensure that the cleaning liquid flows smoothly between adjacent wafers, avoiding the poor flow of the cleaning liquid due to too small a spacing, forming a cleaning dead corner, and affecting the cleaning effect.
[0049] After the cleaning is completed, the regulating motor drives the vertical screw rod 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, and drives the receiving device 8 and the wafer to move upward, so as to be separated from the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 2. In this process, when the connecting tube 80 moves upward and contacts the air guide component 74, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle 73 fixed on the mounting plate 71 by the fixing frame 72 can flow from the air guide component 74 to the connecting tube 80, and then the nitrogen in the connecting tube 80 can flow into the hose 872 through the manifold 89, and finally enter the injection pipe 873 through the inner cavity of the arc-shaped limit frame 871. At this time, the nitrogen can be blown onto the surface of the wafer after being guided by the injection pipe 873, and the cleaning liquid attached to the surface of the wafer is blown off to avoid cross infection.
[0050] When the top end of the connecting tube 80 contacts the bottom of the air guide assembly 74, as the connecting tube 80 continues to move upward, the top end of the connecting tube 80 accurately pushes the sliding tube 742 upward after being guided by the guide cover 744. At this time, the compression spring 743 is compressed, and the baffle 745 is separated from the annular baffle 746. At this time, the nitrogen in the nitrogen bottle 73 can flow downward through the gap between the baffle 745 and the annular baffle 746 in the ventilation pipe 741, and enter the bottom of the ventilation pipe 741 through the curved pipe 749, and then enter the sliding tube 742 through the rectangular hole 748, and finally flow into the connecting tube 80 through the ventilation hole 747, thereby realizing a seamless connection between the cleaning and drying processes, and the nitrogen purge function can be automatically turned on without manual intervention, thereby improving the automation degree and working efficiency of the cleaning machine.
[0051] When the receiving device 8 descends and the connecting pipe 80 is separated from the air guide component 74, the compression spring 743 returns to its original state, so that the baffle 745 contacts the annular baffle 746 again and closes the nitrogen channel. This elastic reset mechanism ensures that the device can automatically return to its initial state after each use, ensuring the reliability and stability of the device. The cooperation between the baffle 745 and the annular baffle 746 acts as a switch. The nitrogen channel will only open when the connecting pipe 80 pushes the sliding pipe 742 upward. This design effectively prevents nitrogen leakage caused by misoperation or equipment failure, ensuring the safety of the operator and the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, when the nitrogen channel is closed, it can prevent external impurities from entering the vent pipe 741, ensuring the purity of the nitrogen.
