Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of manipulators, and more particularly to a transport gripper for a silicon wafer processing production line. Background Art
[0002] Silicon wafers are the core basic materials for semiconductor manufacturing, mainly used in the production of electronic components such as integrated circuits (ICs), solar cells (PVs), sensors, etc. In a silicon wafer processing production line, it is mainly a systematic process of processing high-purity silicon ingots (single crystal / polycrystal) into silicon wafers for semiconductors or photovoltaics, including core processes such as crystal growth → slicing → grinding → polishing → cleaning → inspection. In the production process, the transport gripper is the core component of the automated handling system. Grabbing and fixing the silicon rod and then slicing it is a key pre-process, which directly determines the thickness, flatness, and surface quality of the silicon wafer.
[0003] However, for the existing transport grippers used in silicon wafer processing production lines, when actually transporting and grabbing silicon wafers, local stress may be generated at the edges of the clamped silicon wafers, resulting in microcracks or warping (especially for ultra-thin silicon wafers <100 μm), thus reducing the yield rate of silicon wafers and affecting subsequent lithography or deposition processes. In addition, the existing transport grippers generally can only grab silicon wafers with specific shapes or sizes, and cannot clamp silicon wafers with damaged edges or non-standard shapes, with large limitations, often requiring manual assistance, increasing the operation steps of silicon wafer production and the labor intensity of workers. Moreover, traditional grippers can only grab and transport silicon wafers, and after the silicon rod is sliced into wafers, the local temperature of the silicon wafers will increase due to cutting friction. Therefore, the high-temperature silicon wafers may damage the precision transmission gripper or detection sensor, seriously affecting the service life of the gripper. Summary of the Invention

[0044] In this embodiment: By providing the auxiliary link frame 24 and the air jet holes 1902, it is beneficial to push the auxiliary gripper 19 when the gripper adjusting rod 12 moves up and down, and through the air jet holes 1902, auxiliary support and cooling operations are performed on the wafers to be grabbed.
[0045] Working principle of the present invention: Firstly, when in use, rotate the moving gripper arm 2 so that the moving gripper arm 2 drives the fixed gripper plate 1 to move to the top position of the silicon wafer to be grasped. Then, turn on the lifting motor 3 so that the lifting motor 3 drives the main gear 20 to rotate. At this time, the main gear 20 drives the transmission hollow gear 21 and the auxiliary gear 22 to rotate. At this time, the lifting screw 4 at the bottom of the main gear 20 and the auxiliary gear 22 rotates inside the lifting threaded hole 502 at the top of the gripper main frame 5. At this time, the rotation of the lifting screw 4 drives the gripper main frame 5 and the auxiliary frame 11 to descend. Then, when the auxiliary gripper 19 reaches the top position of the silicon wafer, turn off the lifting motor 3 at this time. Then, turn on the gripper motor 7 at the top of the auxiliary limiting frame 6 so that the gripper motor 7 drives the adjusting screw 23 to rotate inside the threaded hole 503, causing the auxiliary limiting frame 6 to drive the gripper motor 7 to descend under the restriction of the limiting connecting rod 8. Then, when the auxiliary limiting frame 6 drives the limiting connecting rod 8 to descend, at this time, the limiting connecting rod 8 drives the fixed collar 9 fixedly sleeved on the top of the scroll pump 13 to descend. Then, the fixed collar 9 drives the scroll pump 13 into the position inside the telescopic pump hole 1103 opened in the auxiliary frame 11. Then, when the fixed collar 9 descends, it pushes the gripper adjusting rod 12 to descend inside the elliptical hole 1104. Then, when the gripper adjusting rod 12 descends, the connecting guide rod 18 drives the auxiliary grippers 19 to move away from each other under the restriction of the special-shaped auxiliary block 17 and the auxiliary connecting rod frame 24. At this time, the auxiliary grippers 19 open to the surroundings. Then, the special-shaped auxiliary block 17 inclines inside the auxiliary groove 1101 under the restriction of the auxiliary plug 1701 and the second limiting shaft 1702. Then, the scroll pump 13 drives the adsorption tube 1302 and the negative pressure head 1304 to approach the top of the silicon wafer. Then, turn on the scroll pump 13 so that the scroll pump 13 evacuates the air inside the pipe cavity 1303 and the negative pressure cavity 1305, causing the air inside the negative pressure cavity 1305 to form a negative pressure due to evacuation. Then, the suction slot hole 1306 at the bottom of the negative pressure head 1304 adsorbs and grasps the silicon wafer. Then, turn on the gripper motor 7 again so that the gripper motor 7 drives the adjusting screw 23 to rotate in the reverse direction. Then, the auxiliary limiting frame 6 drives the limiting connecting rod 8, the fixed collar 9, and the scroll pump 13 to rise. Then, when the scroll pump 13 drives the silicon wafer to rise, at this time, the auxiliary grippers 19 are reset due to the rise of the gripper adjusting rod 12. Then, the first exhaust duct 14 on the surface of the exhaust head 1301 sends the air evacuated by the scroll pump 13 into the air flow diversion box 15. Then, the second exhaust duct 16 on the surface of the air flow diversion box 15 sends the air flow into the auxiliary grippers 19. Then, the air holes 1902 opened in the auxiliary grippers 19 eject the air flow. Then, the silicon wafer adsorbed at the bottom of the scroll pump 13 is supported by the air flow ejected from the air holes 1902. At this time, the silicon wafer is cooled and grasped by the air flow sprayed at the bottom. Then, rotate the moving gripper arm 2 again to drive the fixed gripper plate 1 to move so that the fixed gripper plate 1 moves the grasped silicon wafer to an appropriate position. At this time, place the silicon wafer according to the above operation.
[0046] Finally, the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
