[0033] By adopting the above technical scheme, the circulating water path cleaning mechanism 2 can realize accurate control of the cleaning liquid flow, direction and temperature, thereby guaranteeing the stability and cleanliness of the wafer in the rinsing process. The circulating box 22 is fastened to the cleaning machine body 5 as the main structure, provides rigid support and carries the cleaning liquid circulating system, is provided with a circulating cavity 221, the circulating cavity 221 is a spherical segment structure, the internal liquid flow path is uniformly distributed and avoids turbulent accumulation, which helps to realize flow field stability and efficient flushing. The adjusting assembly 23 is arranged inside the circulating cavity 221 and realizes internal flow regulation through spatial cooperation with the circulating cavity 221. The assembly is in communication with the circulating box 22 and at the same time in communication with the temperature control mechanism 4, realizing temperature regulation of the cleaning liquid entering the circulating cavity 221. The iris assembly 21 is fastened to the adjusting assembly 23, plays a role in aperture transformation and precise flow control, and can adjust the flushing intensity in real time according to the cleaning requirements. The overall structure realizes multivariable linkage control of the ultrapure water flushing path through the dynamic response of the adjusting assembly 23 in the circulating cavity 221, and combines the mechanical flow limiting function of the iris assembly 21 and the thermal regulation ability of the temperature control mechanism 4, so that the whole rinsing process is carried out at a stable temperature, constant flow rate and uniform distribution, thereby effectively improving the wafer surface residual liquid removal efficiency, reducing the risk of particle deposition, and improving the controllability and repeatability of the cleaning process.

[0034] Further, the adjusting assembly 23 includes a rotating block 231, a sliding block 232, a rotating motor 233 and a magnetoelastic element 234. The rotating block 231 is a spherical segment shape. The rotating block 231 is rotatably connected to the circulating cavity 221. The sliding block 232 is slidably connected to the rotating block 231. The iris assembly 21 is fastened to the sliding block 232.

The rotating motor 233 is fastened to the circulating box 22. The rotating motor 233 is in transmission connection with the rotating block 231.

[0035] By adopting the above technical scheme, the adjusting assembly 23 realizes dynamic controllable adjustment of the circulating water flow passage and flow rate through mechanical linkage and magnetoelastic adjusting mechanism, thereby further improving flow rate consistency and temperature control precision in the cleaning process. The rotating block 231 is a spherical segment structure and is rotationally connected with the circulating cavity 221, serving as a core rotating shaft component of the adjusting assembly 23.

Each two sliding blocks 232 are rigidly connected through a magnetoelastic element 234. When the magnetoelastic element 234 is subjected to extension and contraction response under the action of an external temperature control signal, the connected sliding blocks 232 are synchronously driven to slide, thereby realizing fine control of the flow passage opening degree. The sliding blocks 232 are in communication with the circulating cavity 221 and can directly affect the liquid flow passage, and cooperate with the flow-limiting apertures of the iris assembly 21 to jointly complete staged control of the flushing intensity. The iris assembly 21 is fixed to the sliding block 232 in a fastening manner, so that the position of the iris through hole is accurately moved with the sliding block 232, thereby forming dynamic variable diameter of the flow passage. The rotating motor 233 is fixedly installed on the circulating box 22 and is drivingly connected with the rotating block 231, thereby driving the rotating block 231 to rotate and drive the sliding blocks 232 to realize preliminary positioning and coarse adjustment. Fine adjustment is completed by the magnetoelastic element 234 for micro-displacement correction. The above structure forms a multi-stage coordinated adjusting mechanism of “rotating block 231 driving + sliding block 232 displacement + magnetoelastic response + iris flow limiting”, which not only realizes composite control of the cleaning liquid flow rate, passage angle and cross-sectional shape, but also improves the response speed and flexible adjusting capability of the system to different cleaning stages, thereby effectively enhancing cleaning uniformity and liquid thermal field stability.

[0036] Further, the circulating box 22 is provided with a partition plate 222, and the cross section where the partition plate 222 is located is located at the center of the circulating cavity 221.

[0037] By adopting the above technical scheme, the partition plate 222 arranged on the circulating box 22 forms stable flow distribution when the internal liquid flows through the circulating cavity 221, effectively improving the uniform distribution effect of the cleaning liquid. The partition plate 222 is arranged at the spherical center section of the circulating cavity 221, serving as a geometric reference surface of flow field symmetry, which can divide the liquid regulated by the adjusting assembly 23 into two symmetrical flow areas, avoiding local turbulent flow aggregation or impact deviation. In specific implementation, the partition plate 222 is made of rigid temperature-resistant material and is fixed in the inner wall of the circulating box 22 by embedding groove or welding, and its position is accurately located at the spherical center section of the circulating cavity 221, ensuring that it plays a role in stabilizing the central flow direction and guiding the flow. In the working process, the cleaning liquid regulated by the adjusting assembly 23 enters the circulating cavity 221 and is guided by the partition plate 222 to flow into multiple uniform paths, thereby improving the hydraulic symmetry and surface coverage range in the washing process, effectively avoiding cleaning dead angles or uneven washing. This structure further improves the control accuracy of the adjusting assembly 23 on the fluid direction and flow rate, cooperates with the iris assembly 21 to form a spatial multi-point distributed spraying mode, significantly improves the cleaning efficiency and repeatability, and ensures that the wafer surface is uniformly stressed and the cleanliness consistency is consistent.

[0039] By adopting the above technical scheme, the drying and cleaning mechanism 3 realizes rapid, efficient and uniform drying treatment of the cleaned wafer through the combination of rotary clamping and hot air drying. The rotary motor 31 is fixed on the gear frame 36 and serves as a power source to realize rotary connection with the gear set 35 through a rotary output shaft. The gear set 35 transmits rotary power to the rotary rod 32 to drive the second suction cup 33 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, thereby realizing synchronous rotation operation of the clamped wafer. The rotary action can make the wafer surface liquid quickly discharge under the action of centrifugal force, reducing the drying time and residual liquid amount.
