DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In the present application, the description such as "first", "second" and the like is only for the purpose of description, and is not intended to particularly indicate the order or sequence, nor to limit the present application, which is merely to distinguish the protective assembly or operation described by the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions and technical features of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of the ordinary skilled in the art, and when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0025] Embodiment 1: refer to Figure 1 The application provides a technical means, which comprises a mounting ring 1, a driving gear ring 2 is arranged at the top of the mounting ring 1, a plurality of groups of first clamp assemblies 6 are arranged around the inner ring of the driving gear ring 2, a plurality of groups of guide members 8 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the mounting ring 1, and a second clamp assembly 7 is arranged in each group of guide members 8, and the second clamp assembly 7 is driven by a driving unit arranged in the mounting ring 1 to clamp the monocrystalline silicon wafer.

[0026] The working principle of the above scheme is that the integrated design is used to construct the overall framework of “graded clamping + unified driving”, thereby providing a structural basis for accurate clamping of monocrystalline silicon wafers with different thicknesses. The core logic is that the mounting ring 1 is used as an overall bearing matrix, the driving gear ring 2, the first clamp assembly 6, the guide member 8 and the second clamp assembly 7 are formed into a modular assembly, and the driving unit (including the core components such as the first driving motor 5 and the second driving motor 20) is arranged in the mounting ring 1, so that power is concentrated and output and coordinated control is realized.

[0027] When the monocrystalline silicon wafer needs to be clamped for processing, according to the actual thickness of the silicon wafer (referring to the thickness standard shown in Figure 9 , the first clamp assembly 6 or the second clamp assembly 7 is selected to be started, for the thin monocrystalline silicon wafer, the first clamp assembly 6 is driven by the first driving motor 5 in the driving unit to drive the driving gear ring 2, so that the clamping is completed; for the thick monocrystalline silicon wafer, the second clamp assembly 7 is driven by the second driving motor 20 in the driving unit to drive the driving ring 21, and the guide limiting action of the guide member 8 is matched, so that the centering and clamping integrated operation is completed. In the whole structure, the driving gear ring 2 provides circumferential driving power for the first clamp assembly 6, and the guide member 8 provides radial movement guide for the second clamp assembly 7, so that the two types of clamp assemblies work independently and do not interfere with each other under the control of the driving unit, and the adaptive clamping of monocrystalline silicon wafers with different specifications is realized.

[0028] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects: 1. Strong adaptability, covering multiple specifications of silicon wafers: through the graded design of “first clamp assembly + second clamp assembly”, thin (such as monocrystalline silicon wafer P1) and thick (such as monocrystalline silicon wafer P2) monocrystalline silicon wafers can be adaptively matched, thereby solving the limitation that the traditional clamp can only clamp a single thickness of silicon wafer and expanding the application range of the clamp.

[0029] 2. Structural integration, high stability: the driving unit is arranged in the mounting ring 1, and the clamp assemblies are arranged in a modular manner around the mounting ring 1, so that the external space occupation is reduced, and the movement trajectory of each component in the clamping process is accurate through the limiting action of the guide member 8 of the unified bearing of the mounting ring 1, thereby avoiding the clamping deviation caused by loose structure.

[0030] 3. Protect silicon wafers and reduce damage risk: The overall architecture provides the basis for the "anti-scratch and anti-displacement" design in subsequent embodiments 2 and 3. The reset spring 14 and cover structure of the primary clamping assembly, and the centering roller 34 and elastic pressure strip 32 of the secondary clamping assembly are all assembled based on the architecture of embodiment 1, which avoids problems such as scratches on the outer wall of the silicon wafer and edge cracks during clamping from the source.

[0031] 4. Easy to operate and adaptable to automated processing: The drive unit centrally controls two types of clamping components, which can switch between clamping silicon wafers of different thicknesses without changing the clamps. Combined with the loading and unloading process of the robotic arm, it can be quickly integrated into the automated processing production line to improve processing efficiency. At the same time, the modular design facilitates subsequent maintenance and component replacement, reducing the cost of use.

[0032] 5. Precise clamping ensures processing accuracy: Through the meshing transmission between the drive gear ring 2 and the first-level clamping assembly, and the linkage between the drive ring 21 and the second-level clamping assembly, multiple clamping components are ensured to move synchronously, achieving concentric clamping of the silicon wafer. This provides a precise positioning basis for subsequent cutting, grinding and other processing steps, improving the processing qualification rate of monocrystalline silicon wafers.

[0033] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 The primary clamping assembly 6 includes a primary clamping base 9, which is installed on the top of the mounting ring 1 by several sets of bolts 12. The top of the primary clamping base 9 is provided with a guide groove 10 and two sets of clearance grooves 11, and the two sets of clearance grooves 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide groove 10. The bolts 12 are installed in the clearance grooves 11.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting rod 13 is fixedly installed inside the guide groove 10, the guide slider 15 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 13, and the guide slider 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 10. The reset spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 13, and both ends of the reset spring 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 10 and the guide slider 15, respectively.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the silicon wafer clamp 16 is fixedly connected to the guide slider 15 and slidably connected to the surface of the primary clamp base 9. The silicon wafer clamp 16 extends towards the outer wall of the inner ring of the drive gear ring 2 to form an arc-shaped protrusion 17. The arc-shaped protrusion 17 abuts against the inclined push head 3. Two sets of vacuum suction cup bases 18 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the silicon wafer clamp 16, and the top of the vacuum suction cup base 18 is provided with several sets of adsorption holes 19.

[0036] Furthermore, the drive motor 5 is installed inside the mounting ring 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 extends out of the top housing of the mounting ring 1 and is fixedly sleeved with the drive gear 4. The drive gear 4 meshes with the drive gear ring 2, and the inner ring wall of the drive gear ring 2 extends toward the first-stage clamp assembly 6 to form the inclined push head 3.

[0037] Preferably, both the guide groove 10 and the clearance groove 11 are provided with a cover at the top.

[0038] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: Due to the inconsistent thickness of monocrystalline silicon wafers, such as Figure 7 The image shows the application of thinner single-crystal silicon wafers (thickness standard reference). Figure 9 When clamping (as shown), the thinner monocrystalline silicon wafer P1 needs to be placed directly onto the annular surface formed by the tops of several sets of primary clamping bases 9 using a robotic arm. At this time, simply start the drive motor 5 to drive the drive gear 4 to rotate. The drive gear 4 drives the drive gear ring 2 to rotate. Since the inclined push head 3 set on the inner wall of the drive gear ring 2 will squeeze the arc-shaped protrusion 17, it will push the silicon wafer clamping plate 16 to move on the surface of the primary clamping base 9. At this time, the cooperation between the guide slider 15 and the limiting rod 13 plays a guiding and limiting role, preventing the silicon wafer clamping plate 16 from shifting and damaging the outer wall of the monocrystalline silicon wafer P1. Until the several sets of silicon wafer clamping plates 16 move to just abut against the outer wall of the monocrystalline silicon wafer P1, the monocrystalline silicon wafer P1 is clamped. Then, turn off the drive motor 5, and the monocrystalline silicon wafer can be operated on for the next step.

[0039] The top of both the guide groove 10 and the clearance groove 11 is equipped with a cover, and the cover is kept horizontal with the surface of the first-stage clamp base 9 after installation to avoid scratching the monocrystalline silicon wafer and to prevent the internal components from being exposed. When it is necessary to release the monocrystalline silicon wafer P1, simply start the drive motor 5 to drive the drive gear 4 to reverse, and the inclined push head 3 will no longer squeeze the arc protrusion 17. Then, under the action of the reset spring 14, the silicon wafer clamp 16 will be reset.

[0040] Example 3: Based on any one of Examples 1-2, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 The drive unit includes a second drive motor 20, which is fixedly located at the bottom center of the inner wall of the mounting ring 1, and the drive ring 21 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the output shaft of the second drive motor 20. The first fixing plate 41 is installed at the top center of the inner wall of the mounting ring 1 through the first fixing rod 42. The mounting ring 1 and the guide member 8 are provided with a relief groove 26.

[0041] Furthermore, a limiting groove 23 is provided on the guide member 8, one end of the limiting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 23, and the other end of the limiting rod 22 extends into the mounting ring 1 and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 41. The guide slider 24 is movably disposed in the limiting groove 23, and the guide slider 24 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 22. One end of the first connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the guide slider 24, and the other end of the first connecting rod 25 passes through the clearance groove 26 and extends into the mounting ring 1 to be rotatably connected to the drive ring 21.

[0042] Furthermore, the secondary clamping assembly 7 includes a support frame 27, which is connected to the guide slider 24 via a fixing rod 23. A drive shaft 1 28 and a drive shaft 29 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing rod 23. The bottoms of drive shaft 1 28 and drive shaft 29 are rotatably connected to the top of the guide slider 24. The tops of drive shaft 1 28 and drive shaft 29 extend movably into the support frame 27, and drive gear 30 and drive gear 2 39 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer walls of their extended ends. Furthermore, the outer walls of each set of drive shaft 1 28 are fixedly sleeved with the same centering arm 33, and a centering roller 34 is movably installed at the end of the centering arm 33. The outer walls of each set of drive shaft 2 29 are fixedly sleeved with the same silicon wafer arm 30, and two sets of clearance grooves 31 are provided on the silicon wafer arm 30. An elastic pressure strip 32 is provided in the clearance groove 31 near the end of the silicon wafer arm 30.

[0043] Furthermore, the fixed end of the electric actuator 38 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 27, and the output end of the electric actuator 38 is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 36. The top of the second fixed plate 36 is fixedly provided with a U-shaped drive component 35, and two sets of drive racks 37 are symmetrically fixed at both ends of the U-shaped head of the U-shaped drive component 35. Each set of drive racks 37 extends movably into the support frame 27 and meshes with the second drive gear 39 and the third drive gear 40.

[0044] Preferably, a vacuum generator is installed inside the vacuum suction cup base 18 for use with the suction hole 19.

[0045] Preferably, the drive ring 21 has a bottom plate and an opening at the top.

[0046] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: Due to the inconsistent thickness of monocrystalline silicon wafers, such as Figure 8 The image shows the thickness of a single-crystal silicon wafer (thickness standard reference). Figure 9When clamping (as shown), the thicker monocrystalline silicon wafer 2P2 needs to be placed directly onto the top of several sets of vacuum suction cup bases 18 using a robotic arm. The vacuum generator inside is then activated to suction the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2P2 through the suction holes 19, preventing it from falling. Subsequently, the drive motor 20 is activated, causing the drive ring 21 to rotate. As the drive ring 21 rotates, it pulls the first connecting rod 25 connected to it, causing it to deflect within the clearance groove 26. This causes the guide slider 24 to move along the limiting rod 22 towards the drive ring 21. This continues until the guide slider 24, with its top centering arm 33, contacts the outer wall of the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2P2. At this point, the suction holes 19 no longer suction the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2P2, and the multiple sets of centering rollers 34 can push the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2P2 without damage until its center coincides with the center of the mounting ring 1. Then, the drive motor 20 is turned off. Simultaneously, the electric actuator 38 is activated. The electric actuator 38 drives the U-shaped drive component 35 to move through the fixed plate 2 36, thereby enabling the drive rack 37 to drive the drive gear 2 39 and the drive gear 3 40 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. At this time, the drive gear 3 40 drives the centering arm 33 to move away from the outer wall of the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2 P2 through the drive shaft 1 28, while the drive gear 2 39 drives the silicon wafer arm 30 to move closer to the outer wall of the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2 P2 through the drive shaft 2 29. The setting of the clearance groove 3 31 can provide clearance space for the reverse rotation of the centering arm 33, avoiding interference between the silicon wafer arm 30 and the centering arm 33 during the movement. Until the multiple sets of silicon wafer arms 30 clamp the monocrystalline silicon wafer 2 P2, the elastic pressure strip 32 plays an auxiliary fixing role. In the above way, the monocrystalline silicon wafer 1 P1 is clamped, and the next operation of the monocrystalline silicon wafer can be carried out.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
