[0034] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0037] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a wafer inkjet device based on vision inspection. The wafer inkjet device based on vision inspection includes an inkjet detection component 1, a carrier component 2, and a drive component 3. By setting up the carrier component 2 and the drive component 3, the processing needs of multiple stations on the carrier component 2 can be met simultaneously, and automatic downward feeding and automatic upward storage can be completed without the need for additional equipment intervention. The overall integration is high, which is more in line with the continuous, integrated, and convenient inkjet inspection needs of multiple wafers.
[0038] Specifically, the inkjet assembly 1 includes a processing table 11, an inkjet head 12 is provided on the top of the processing table 11, a first industrial camera 121 is fixed on the inkjet head 12, and a second industrial camera 13 is provided on the top of the processing table 11.
[0039] The first industrial camera 121 and the second industrial camera 13 are based on visual inspection technology and have been widely used in modern intelligent manufacturing. Their core function is to achieve high-precision detection, measurement and analysis of industrial scenes through optical imaging and digital signal processing. The process can be divided into optical signal acquisition, photoelectric conversion, digital signal processing and result output. It can be well applied to the wafer inspection process. The working principle of this part is existing technology and can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0040] Specifically, the supporting component 2 is set on the processing table 11, including a material rack component 21 that runs through the processing table 11, a support component 22 fixed on the top of the processing table 11, and an auxiliary heating component 23 fixed on the top of the processing table 11.
[0041] There are two rack components 21, one of which is a raw material rack fully loaded with wafers, and the other is an empty storage rack.
[0042] Specifically, the drive assembly 3 is mounted on the processing table 11 and includes a stepper motor 31 fixed to the bottom of the processing table 11. A rotating rod 32 is fixed to the output end of the stepper motor 31. A transmission component 33 is provided on the outer ring of the rotating rod 32. A bracket 34 is mounted on the transmission component 33. A screw 35 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the processing table 11. An auxiliary component 36 is installed between the screw 35 and the rotating rod 32. A guide component 37 is provided on the outer ring of the rotating rod 32.
[0043] The top of the bracket 34 is equipped with a vacuum chuck, which is used to vacuum adsorb the bottom of the wafer in the working state, thereby ensuring the stability of wafer transfer. In practical applications, the shape of the bracket 34 can be designed as a ring surface to further increase the uniformity of adsorption with the wafer. The working principle of this part is all existing technology, which can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] Example 2, refer to Figures 2-14 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0045] Specifically, an X-axis drive unit 14 is installed on the top of the processing table 11, a Z-axis drive unit 15 is installed on the moving end of the X-axis drive unit 14, a first Y-axis drive unit 16 and a second Y-axis drive unit 17 are respectively installed on the moving end of the Z-axis drive unit 15, an inkjet head 12 is fixed on the moving end of the first Y-axis drive unit 16, and a second industrial camera 13 is fixed on the moving end of the second Y-axis drive unit 17.
[0046] Both the X-axis drive unit 14 and the Z-axis drive unit 15 are servo motors with ball screw drives, and are equipped with high-precision linear guides such as ball guides to ensure smooth movement. A grating ruler / encoder provides position feedback. The first Y-axis drive unit 16 and the second Y-axis drive unit 17 are high-precision cylinders. With the cooperation of the X-axis drive unit 14, the Z-axis drive unit 15, the first Y-axis drive unit 16 and the second Y-axis drive unit 17, the positions of the inkjet head 12, the first industrial camera 121 and the second industrial camera 13 can be flexibly adjusted. The working principle of this part is existing technology and can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Specifically, the top of the processing table 11 is provided with a through groove 111, which cooperates with the material rack 21, and the top of the processing table 11 is fixed with a processing groove 112.
[0048] Specifically, the material rack component 21 includes a first auxiliary plate 211 located in the through groove 111. A first support base 212 is fixed to the top of the first auxiliary plate 211, a support plate 216 is provided at the bottom of the first auxiliary plate 211, a fastening bolt 215 is provided through the bottom of the support plate 216, and a displacement frame 217 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 216.
[0049] Specifically, the support member 22 includes a second auxiliary plate 221 bolted to the machining groove 112, and a second support seat 222 is fixed to the top of the second auxiliary plate 221.
[0050] The second auxiliary plate 221 and the second support slot 222 can stably support the wafer, thereby meeting the needs of subsequent inkjet printing by the inkjet head 12 and inspection by the first industrial camera 121.
[0051] Specifically, the auxiliary heating component 23 includes a third auxiliary plate 231 bolted to the machining groove 112. The top of the third auxiliary plate 231 has an arc-shaped groove 2311. An arc-shaped guide rod 2312 is fixed in the arc-shaped groove 2311. A fixing ring 232 is fixed to the top of the third auxiliary plate 231. A rotating ring 233 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixing ring 232. A drive frame 234 is fixed to the outer ring of the rotating ring 233. A protrusion 2341 is fixed to the bottom of the drive frame 234. A first spring 235 is fixed on the protrusion 2341. The first spring 235 is sleeved on the arc-shaped guide rod 2312. The end of the first spring 235 away from the protrusion 2341 is fixed to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 2311. A third support seat 236 is fixed to the top of the third auxiliary plate 231.
[0052] The connection point between the rotating ring 233 and the drive frame 234 is higher than that of the fixed ring 232, thereby avoiding direct contact and friction damage between the drive frame 234 and the fixed ring 232.
[0053] There are several fixed rings 232 and rotating rings 233, which are evenly distributed on the third auxiliary plate 231 to match the wafer shape, thereby enabling uniform heating of the bottom of the wafer.
[0054] The bottom of the bracket 34 is fixed with a protrusion that cooperates with the drive frame 234. Through the cooperation of the arc groove 2311 and the protrusion 2341, and the guidance of the arc guide rod 2312 to move the protrusion 2341, when the bracket 34 rotates, the protrusion contacts the drive frame 234, ensuring that the drive frame 234 rotates stably at a certain angle, thereby linking multiple rotating rings 233 to rotate. The friction generated by the fixed ring 232 increases the temperature around the third support slot 236, accelerating the drying of the wafer ink droplets on the third support slot 236.
[0055] During the above process, the drive frame 234 rotates at a certain angle due to the drive of the protrusion. The fixed ring 232 and the rotating ring 233 rotate relative to each other, generating a frictional heating. The first spring 235 is compressed. When the protrusion no longer contacts the drive frame 234, the first spring 235 is automatically released, the drive frame 234 automatically reverses, and the fixed ring 232 and the rotating ring 233 rotate relative to each other again, generating a frictional heating, which meets the drying requirements of the ink droplets on the top of the wafer after inkjet printing.
[0056] Specifically, the rotating rod 32 has a storage groove 321 inside, a corrugated groove 322 on the outer ring of the rotating rod 32, and a recess 323 on the outer ring of the rotating rod 32. The storage groove 321, the corrugated groove 322 and the recess 323 are connected in sequence.
[0057] Specifically, the transmission component 33 includes an auxiliary ring 331 located outside the rotating rod 32. A vertical rod 3311 is fixed to the top of the auxiliary ring 331. The top of the vertical rod 3311 passes through the bracket 34 and slides in contact with the bracket 34. A connecting frame 3312 is fixed to the inner ring of the auxiliary ring 331. The connecting frame 3312 is rotatably connected to the outer ring of the rotating rod 32 via a bearing. A limiting groove 3313 is formed at the bottom of the inner ring of the auxiliary ring 331. A pressing rod 332 is slidably connected to the top of the receiving groove 321. A second spring 3321 is sleeved on the pressing rod 332. One end of the second spring 3321 is fixed in the receiving groove 321, and the other end of the second spring 3321 is fixed to the pressing rod 332. An auxiliary frame 333 is fixed on the pressure rod 332 and the rotating rod 32. An inclined plate 334 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 333. A first torsion spring 3331 is sleeved on the auxiliary frame 333. One end of the first torsion spring 3331 is fixed to the auxiliary frame 333, and the other end of the first torsion spring 3331 is fixed to the inclined plate 334. A stop block 335 is fixed at the bottom of the inclined plate 334 and cooperates with the limiting groove 3313. An insert rod 336 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 3313. A third spring 3361 is sleeved on the top of the insert rod 336. The bottom end of the third spring 3361 is fixed to the auxiliary ring 331, and the top end of the third spring 3361 is fixed to the insert rod 336.
[0058] The processing table 11 has a slot 113 on its top and an electromagnetic block 114 fixed on its top. There are four slots 113 and four electromagnetic blocks 114, which correspond to the positions of the through slot 111 and the processing slot 112. The slot 113 is adapted to the insertion rod 336. When the insertion rod 336 is lowered and placed into the through slot 111, the auxiliary ring 331 cannot rotate. The bottom of the stop block 335 is fixed with a protruding magnetic block. When the stop block 335 rotates to the top of the processing slot 112, it will be magnetically attracted by the processing slot 112 and automatically move down.
[0059] The bracket 34 is fitted with a positioning ball 341 at one end near the rotating rod 32. The positioning ball 341 is located in the corrugated groove 322 and rotates in contact with the corrugated groove 322. Under the guidance of the positioning ball 341 and the corrugated groove 322, when the rotating rod 32 rotates and the bracket 34 is stationary, the bracket 34 will move up and down.
[0060] The vertical rod 3311 can guide the vertical displacement of the bracket 34. When the auxiliary ring 331 is stationary, the bracket 34 cannot rotate, but when the auxiliary ring 331 rotates, the bracket 34 rotates synchronously.
[0061] The bottom of the connecting frame 3312 is at a higher level than the top of the electromagnetic block 114. This design avoids collisions and conflicts between the two, which would affect subsequent actions.
[0062] With the cooperation of the limiting groove 3313 and the stop block 335, when the stop block 335 is placed in the limiting groove 3313, the rotating rod 32 rotates in a circle, which will drive the auxiliary ring 331 to rotate together. At the same time, the stop block 335, which is stuck in the limiting groove 3313, will also lift the insertion rod 336 upward. The third spring 3361 is stretched, and the bottom end of the insertion rod 336 is disengaged from the slot 113, thus completing the unlocking.
[0063] When the bracket 34 is in the highest position, that is, the positioning ball 341 is in the highest position in the corrugated groove 322, the positioning ball 341 squeezes the corrugated groove 322 to move inward, the second spring 3321 is compressed, and then pushes the top of the inclined plate 334 to move. Under the positioning of the auxiliary frame 333, the bottom end of the inclined plate 334 rotates outward, and the first torsion spring 3331 is tightened.
[0064] Specifically, the bottom end of the screw 35 passes through the displacement frame 217 and is threadedly connected to the displacement frame 217. The auxiliary component 36 includes a drive sprocket 361 fixed on the rotating rod 32, a driven sprocket 362 fixed on the outer ring of the screw 35, and a chain 363 sleeved between the driven sprocket 362 and the drive sprocket 361 and connected by the chain 363.
[0065] The two screws 35 have opposite thread directions. When the two screws 35 rotate in the same direction, the displacement frame 217 corresponding to the material rack 21 of the raw material rack will move down, and the displacement frame 217 corresponding to the material rack 21 of the storage rack will move up.
[0066] Specifically, the guide 37 includes a protruding rod 371 rotatably connected in the groove 323, a chuck 372 fixed on the protruding rod 371, a ratchet 373 fixed on the outer ring of the protruding rod 371, a bracket 374 fixed on the outer ring of the rotating rod 32, a pawl 375 rotatably connected on the bracket 374, and a second torsion spring 3741 sleeved on the bracket 374. One end of the second torsion spring 3741 is fixed on the bracket 374, and the other end of the second torsion spring 3741 is fixed on the pawl 375.
[0067] The groove 323 is used to meet the rotation space requirements of the chuck 372. The outer ring of the chuck 372 has multiple cavities to meet the storage requirements of the positioning ball 341. As the positioning ball 341 moves in the corrugated groove 322, when a positioning ball 341 is disengaged from the chuck 372, it will cause the chuck 372 to rotate at a certain angle, and then the next level cavity of the chuck 372 will meet the storage and positioning requirements of the next positioning ball 341.
[0068] Example 3, referring to Figures 2-14 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0069] Specifically, a reinforcing rod 213 is fixed through the first auxiliary plate 211. There are several first auxiliary plates 211, and each first auxiliary plate 211 is equipped with a first support seat 212 to meet the load-bearing requirements of multiple wafers. The presence of the reinforcing rod 213 effectively improves the structural stability.
[0070] A positioning head 214 is fixed at the bottom of the first auxiliary plate 211 at the bottom. The top of the support plate 216 has a placement groove that works with the positioning head 214. The fastening bolt 215 passes through the placement groove and is threaded to the positioning head 214 to stably install the first auxiliary plate 211 on the support plate 216. In practical applications, in order to improve the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the first auxiliary plate 211 and save operation time, elastic buckles can also be used for fixing, provided that the installation of the first auxiliary plate 211 is stable.
[0071] A guide frame 218 is fixed at the bottom of the pallet 216. The top of the guide frame 218 passes through the processing table 11 and slides in contact with the processing table 11. It is used to guide the displacement of the pallet 216 and ensure the stability of the pallet 216's movement.
[0072] The fixing ring 232 is made of aluminum nitride ceramic, which has the advantage of extremely high thermal conductivity. After frictional heat generation, it can quickly conduct heat to the surface of the ring, efficiently heating the surrounding air. The material has high purity and no impurities volatilize, so it will not generate dust during friction, avoiding air pollution and thus affecting the wafer. It has strong thermal stability and can withstand high temperatures above 300℃. It will not deform even after long-term heat generation, ensuring the uniformity of air heating.
[0073] The rotating ring 233 is made of polished graphite ceramic. When it is rotated in combination with the fixed ring 232 made of aluminum nitride ceramic, it can stably generate the heat required for drying. After the surface is polished, there is no risk of particle shedding. At the same time, the graphite component has good radiative heat dissipation effect, which can help the air around the ring to heat up quickly. It has high mechanical strength and strong wear resistance. Long-term rotation will not affect the heat generation stability due to wear.
[0074] In summary, when the fixed ring 232 and the rotating ring 233 rotate relative to each other, heat is transferred to the bottom of the wafer through the radiation of the ring body and the convection of the air. The heating rate is fast and gentle, which allows the ink droplets on the wafer surface to dry gradually at a stable temperature, avoiding the cracking of ink droplets caused by sudden temperature rise. At the same time, the heat is quickly diffused to the air around the ring body, forming a uniform hot airflow that surrounds the bottom of the wafer to achieve overall heating and ensure uniform drying of ink droplets.
[0075] The end of the compression rod 332 near the positioning ball 341 is hemispherical, and the center of the hemisphere of the compression rod 332 and the center of the positioning ball 341 are not on the same horizontal line. With this setting, when the compression rod 332 moves outward actively, it will compress the positioning ball 341 to move within the corrugated groove 322.
[0076] In use, initially, the fully loaded wafer rack 21 protrudes from the processing table 11, while the unloaded wafer rack 21 is recessed from the processing table 11, as shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 34 is located at the top of the first auxiliary plate 211 and the bottom of the wafer, the positioning ball 341 is in the low position in the corrugated groove 322, the insertion rod 336 is elastically supported by the third spring 3361 and is inserted into the slot 113, the stop block 335 is magnetically attracted by the working electromagnetic block 114, and the pressing rod 332 is protruding.
[0077] The stepper motor 31 is controlled to work and the electromagnetic block 114 is stopped, which drives the rotating rod 32 to rotate clockwise. At this time, since the auxiliary ring 331 cannot rotate, the bracket 34 moves up first under the cooperation of the positioning ball 341 and the corrugated groove 322, thereby lifting the wafer on the first support seat 212 until the positioning ball 341 is placed at the highest point of the corrugated groove 322.
[0078] During the above process, the positioning ball 341 will first enter the chuck 372, and under the unidirectional transmission of the ratchet 373 and pawl 375, the positioning ball 341 will be stably positioned at a high position in the corrugated groove 322. Since the rotating rod 32 has rotated 90 degrees, the next-level pressing rod 332 will be aligned with the positioning ball 341, and the positioning ball 341 will press the pressing rod 332 to move inward, which will cause the linkage inclined plate 334 to rotate, so that the stop block 335 will actively enter the limiting groove 3313, and the pressing rod 336 will move upward and disengage from the slot 113.
[0079] In this state, when the stepper motor 31 is driven to work again, the rotating rod 32, the auxiliary ring 331 and the bracket 34 can rotate together, thereby transferring the wafer to the next process. At this time, the insertion rod 336 is aligned with the new slot 113 again, and the stop block 335 is aligned with the new electromagnetic block 114. Controlling the electromagnetic block 114 to work can actively move the extrusion rod 332 outward and extrude the inclined plate 334 to move at a certain angle in the corrugated groove 322 and enter the downward path in the corrugated groove 322. Under the elastic support of the third spring 3361, the insertion rod 336 is inserted into the new slot 113.
[0080] By controlling the stepper motor 31 to work again, the rotating rod 32 can be rotated independently, causing the bracket 34 to gradually move down and fall onto the second support seat 222, which is used to meet the visual inspection of the first industrial camera 121 and the inkjet processing of the inkjet head 12.
[0081] By repeating this cycle, the wafer can be raised, rotated, and lowered to meet the processing needs of multiple workstations.
[0082] When the wafer is on the third support slot 236, as the bracket 34 rotates, the drive frame 234 will rotate synchronously. The fixed ring 232 and the rotating ring 233 work together to generate heat through friction, which accelerates the drying of ink droplets on the wafer surface and works in conjunction with the second industrial camera 13 for visual inspection and recognition.
[0083] During the aforementioned process, as the rotating rod 32 rotates, and the transmission between the driving sprocket 361, the driven sprocket 362, and the chain 363, combined with the fixed pitch of the screw 35, the displacement frame 217 will move up or down stably and accurately, thereby simultaneously causing the first auxiliary plate 211 to move, completing the automatic rise or fall of the material rack 21, satisfying the automatic downward feeding of multiple wafers and the automatic upward storage operation, meeting the requirements of continuous operation.
