[0036] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning device for positioning the notch 71 of the wafer body 7 sucked by the suction cup.

[0039] The positioning device includes a mounting base 1, a first detection assembly 2, a crimping assembly 3, a drive assembly 4, and a positioning assembly 5. The mounting base 1 has a positioning station, and a suction cup can suck the wafer body 7 to the positioning station to facilitate subsequent positioning of the notch 71 of the wafer body 7 at the positioning station. Specifically, the suction cup can be raised and lowered and rotated to adjust the height of the wafer body 7 and the position of the notch 71.

[0040] The first detection assembly 2 is disposed on the mounting base 1 and is used to detect the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. After the suction cup rotates the wafer body 7, the first detection assembly 2 can be used to perform preliminary positioning of the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. During this process, the use of the first detection assembly 2 can improve the efficiency of the positioning device in positioning the notch 71 and reduce the time required for subsequent precise positioning. After the notch 71 is initially positioned, the position of the notch 71 relative to the mounting base 1 can be adjusted according to the needs of subsequent precise positioning. Specifically, the first detection assembly 2 includes a first bracket 21 and a first detection head 22. The first bracket 21 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 1. The first detection head 22 is movably disposed on the first bracket 21 along the extension direction of the first bracket 21. By adjusting the rotation angle of the first bracket 21 and the position of the first detection head 22 on the first bracket 21, the position of the first detection head 22 relative to the mounting base 1 can be adjusted, thereby meeting the requirements of the first detection head 22 for preliminary positioning of the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. That is, during the rotation of the wafer body 7, the signal feedback generated by the first detection head 22 at the notch 71 will be lost.

[0041] Among them, the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5 are all arranged on the mounting base 1, and the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5 are distributed in a triangle. The wafer body 7 can be located between the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5, and the crimping assembly 3 is used to crimp the wafer body 7 toward the side close to the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5, so that under the abutment of the crimping assembly 3, the edge of the wafer body 7 can abut against the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5, so that the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5 can perform three-point positioning on the wafer body 7 to improve the position positioning accuracy of the wafer body 7, and at the same time, the driving assembly 4 is used to drive the wafer body 7 to rotate so that the positioning assembly 5 can be embedded In the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, that is, in the process of the driving component 4 driving the wafer body 7 to rotate, the relative position of the wafer body 7 with respect to the mounting base 1 will not change, only the position of the notch 71 will rotate, and in the continuous crimping process of the crimping component 3, when the wafer body 7 rotates to the positioning component 5 corresponding to the notch 71, the wafer body 7 will be displaced, so that the positioning component 5 is embedded in the notch 71, so that the positioning position of the notch 71 and the opening direction of the notch 71 are determined, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. The positioning device accurately positions the notch 71, and there will be no difference between the position of the wafer body 7 and the required position, so it will not affect the subsequent process.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting base 1 includes a first base 11, a second base 12 and a connecting base 13. One end of the connecting base 13 is connected to the first base 11, and the other end of the connecting base 13 is connected to the second base 12. The first detection component 2 and the crimping component 3 are both arranged on the first base 11, and the driving component 4 and the positioning component 5 are both arranged on the second base 12. By dividing the mounting base 1 into three parts, the production and manufacturing of the mounting base 1 can be facilitated, and the difficulty of assembling the positioning device can be reduced.

[0043] Furthermore, the crimping assembly 3 includes a crimping motor 31, a swing arm 32 and a roller 33. The crimping motor 31 is arranged on the mounting base 1, one end of the swing arm 32 is connected to the driving end of the crimping motor 31, and the other end of the swing arm 32 is rotatably connected to the roller 33. The crimping motor 31 is used to drive the swing arm 32 to swing so that the roller 33 is crimped to the wafer body 7. The crimping motor 31 drives the swing arm 32 to drive the roller 33 to swing, which can conveniently adjust the position and force direction of the roller 33 so that the roller 33 applies force to the wafer body 7 toward the side close to the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5, thereby realizing three-point positioning, and through the rotation of the roller 33 on the swing arm 32, the roller 33 contacts the wafer body 7 roller 33, reducing the difficulty of rotating the wafer body 7, reducing the friction of the wafer body 7 during rotation, and thereby reducing the wear of the wafer body 7.

[0044] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 5 includes a support seat 51 and a positioning shaft 52 rotatably arranged on the support seat 51. The support seat 51 is arranged on the mounting base 1. The positioning shaft 52 can be embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, so that the roller 33 can be brought into contact with the roller 33 of the wafer body 7 through the rotation of the positioning shaft 52 on the support seat 51, thereby reducing the difficulty of rotating the wafer body 7. When the positioning shaft 52 is embedded in the notch 71, the rolling positioning shaft 52 can effectively avoid collision damage to the wafer body 7 by optimizing the distribution of impact energy and reducing local force.

[0045] Furthermore, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41 and a drive wheel 42 fixed to the drive end of the drive motor 41. The drive motor 41 is provided on the mounting base 1 and is used to drive the drive wheel 42 to drive the wafer body 7 to rotate, thereby applying force to the wafer body 7 through the rotation of the drive wheel 42. This can ensure stability when the crimping assembly 3, the drive assembly 4, and the positioning assembly 5 perform three-point positioning on the wafer body 7, and avoid dislocation of the wafer body 7 during rotation, which affects the positioning accuracy of the notch 71. Optionally, the drive wheel 42 is a rubber wheel. The rubber wheel has excellent friction performance, excellent wear resistance, good oil resistance, and excellent anti-aging performance. It can meet the driving requirements of the wafer body 7, prevent slipping, and has a long service life.

[0046] Furthermore, when the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4, and the positioning assembly 5 are all in contact with the edge of the wafer body 7, the contact points of the crimping assembly 3 and the wafer body 7, the contact points of the driving assembly 4 and the wafer body 7, and the contact points of the positioning assembly 5 and the wafer body 7 are distributed in an acute-angled triangle, thereby rationally controlling the contact positions and contact angles of the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4, and the positioning assembly 5 with the wafer body 7, respectively, to ensure that the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4, and the positioning assembly 5 can achieve three-point positioning of the wafer body 7. Optionally, when the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4, and the positioning assembly 5 are all in contact with the edge of the wafer body 7, the contact points of the crimping assembly 3 and the wafer body 7, the contact points of the driving assembly 4 and the wafer body 7, and the contact points of the positioning assembly 5 and the wafer body 7 are distributed in an equilateral triangle.

[0047] Furthermore, the positioning device also includes a second detection assembly 6, which is disposed on the mounting base 1 and is used to detect whether the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, ensuring that the positioning device can position the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, and preventing the wafer body 7 from directly entering the next process without being positioned in the notch 71, thereby affecting production. Specifically, the second detection assembly 6 includes a second bracket 61 and a second detection head 62, the second bracket 61 is disposed on the mounting base 1, and the second detection head 62 is disposed on the first bracket 21. Optionally, the first detection head 22 and the second detection head 62 are both laser detection heads.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The present invention also provides a method for using a positioning device, using the positioning device in the first embodiment.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the method for using the positioning device includes the following steps:

[0051] The wafer body 7 is driven to rotate at the positioning station by the rotation of the suction cup, and the notch 71 of the wafer body 7 is preliminarily positioned by the first detection component 2;

[0052] The wafer body 7 is driven to rotate at the positioning station by the rotation of the suction cup, and the notch 71 is adjusted to a position close to the positioning component 5 according to the positioning data of the first detection component 2;

[0053] The wafer body 7 is crimped by the crimping assembly 3 so that the crimping assembly 3, the driving assembly 4 and the positioning assembly 5 are all in contact with the edge of the wafer body 7;

[0054] The wafer body 7 is driven to rotate by the driving assembly 4 , and the wafer body 7 is pressed by the pressing assembly 3 , so that the positioning assembly 5 can be embedded in the notch 71 .

[0055] The method of using the positioning device is simple, convenient and quick. First, the notch 71 of the wafer body 7 is preliminarily positioned by the first detection component 2 to improve the overall positioning efficiency. Then, the wafer body 7 is positioned at three points by the crimping component 3, the driving component 4 and the positioning component 5, so that the position of the wafer body 7 is positioned. Then, the positioning component 5 is embedded in the notch 71 to achieve precise positioning of the position and opening direction of the notch 71 of the wafer body 7.

[0056] Furthermore, after the wafer body 7 is crimped by the crimping assembly 3 and before the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71, it is also included that the second detection assembly 6 is used to judge whether the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, that is, when the notch 71 of the wafer body 7 is aligned with the positioning assembly 5, the crimping assembly 3 can push the wafer body 7 to move as a whole, so that the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. At this time, due to the overall movement of the wafer body 7, the second detection assembly 6 can detect the signal feedback generated by the overall movement of the wafer body 7 to determine that the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7. At the same time, the second detection assembly 6 is communicatively connected to the drive assembly 4. When the positioning assembly 5 is embedded in the notch 71 of the wafer body 7, the second detection assembly 6 feeds back a signal to the drive assembly 4 to control the drive assembly 4 to stop working.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
