[0024] refer to Figure 1-7A device for measuring the dimensions of a quartz wafer under test includes a base 1, a light shield 2, a light-emitting structure 3, an image acquisition structure 4, a clamping structure 5, and a rotating structure 6. These components work together to achieve high-precision dimensional measurement of the quartz wafer. The base 1 serves as the supporting foundation for the device, providing a stable mounting reference for each functional component. The light shield 2, located above the base 1, can be made of a light-shielding material. When the light shield 2 is fastened onto the base 1, it forms a measuring cavity 7. The inner wall of the measuring cavity 7 can be coated with a black matte finish to block stray light from entering and ensure a stable optical measurement environment. Qualitatively, the light-emitting structure 3 is fixedly installed in the measurement area of the base 1, which can emit uniform light and project the outline of the quartz wafer to be measured onto the image acquisition structure 4, providing illumination conditions for size detection. The light-emitting structure 3 may include an LED light source, a diffuser plate, and a focusing lens. The LED light source can be a white surface-mount LED array, and the diffuser plate can be made of frosted glass, which can convert the point light source of the LED light source into a surface light source, reducing the glare caused by direct light. The focusing lens is located above the diffuser plate and can adjust the light convergence angle to ensure high illumination uniformity on the surface of the quartz wafer to be measured. The image acquisition structure 4 is installed inside the light shield 2 and is positioned vertically and vertically corresponding to the light-emitting structure 3. The image acquisition structure 4 may include an industrial camera, a microscope lens, and an image transmission module. The industrial camera may be a CMOS area array camera to ensure clear acquisition of image details. The microscope lens may be a fixed-focus microscope lens to magnify the image of the quartz wafer under test and image it onto the photosensitive chip of the industrial camera. The image transmission module may use a GigE interface to transmit the acquired image data back to an external processing system (such as an industrial computer) in real time. The image acquisition structure 4 can accurately capture the projected image of the quartz wafer under test projected by the light-emitting structure 3 and transmit the image data to the external processing system. The clamping structure 5 is located on the base 1 and on the measurement path between the light-emitting structure 3 and the image acquisition structure 4. It can stably clamp and position the quartz wafer under test to ensure that the position of the quartz wafer under test is fixed and does not shift during the measurement process. The rotating structure 6 is connected between the clamping structure 5 and the base 1 and can drive the clamping structure 5 to rotate the quartz wafer under test around the central axis to realize multi-directional measurement of the quartz wafer under test, eliminate single-angle measurement deviation, and improve measurement accuracy.
[0025] The clamping structure 5 includes two symmetrically arranged main clamping components and two symmetrically arranged auxiliary clamping components. The two main clamping components are distributed relative to each other in the horizontal direction. The quartz wafer to be tested is clamped between the two main clamping components, and each main clamping component is connected to the rotating structure 6 to ensure that the rotating structure 6 can synchronously drive the two main clamping components and the quartz wafer to be tested to rotate. The two auxiliary clamping components are distributed relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the main clamping components. The quartz wafer to be tested is also clamped between the two auxiliary clamping components. Through the orthogonal clamping of the main and auxiliary clamping components, the quartz wafer to be tested is fixed in all directions to ensure the stability of the measurement process.
[0026] In some embodiments, the main clamping assembly includes a main drive cylinder 51, a main clamping block 52, and a negative pressure groove 53. The main drive cylinder 51 is the power source of the main clamping assembly. Its cylinder body is fixedly connected to the rotating structure 6. It can drive the main clamping block 52 to move closer to or away from the quartz wafer under test through the extension and retraction of the output shaft. The main clamping block 52 can be made of a flexible and wear-resistant material. One end of it is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the main drive cylinder 51. When the main drive cylinder 51 drives the output shaft to extend, the main clamping block 52 can be smoothly pressed against the surface of the quartz wafer under test, avoiding hard contact that could damage the quartz wafer under test. The negative pressure groove 53 is located in the middle of the side of the main clamping block 52 facing the quartz wafer under test, and is connected to an external vacuum system through an air pipe. When the main clamping block 52 is pressed onto the surface of the quartz wafer to be tested, the external vacuum system is activated, and a negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure groove 53, generating an adsorption force to assist in clamping the quartz wafer to be tested, further improving the clamping stability, while reducing the mechanical clamping force and reducing the risk of deformation of the quartz wafer to be tested.
[0027] By combining the mechanical clamping of the main drive cylinder 51 with the vacuum adsorption of the negative pressure groove 53, it is possible to ensure that the quartz wafer under test does not shift during the measurement process, and to avoid damage to the quartz wafer under test due to excessive clamping force, so as to meet the clamping requirements of thin and brittle quartz wafers under test.
[0028] In some embodiments, the auxiliary clamping assembly includes an auxiliary drive cylinder 54 and an auxiliary clamping block 55. The cylinder body of the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 is directly fixedly connected to the base 1, and its output shaft is set towards the quartz wafer to be tested. It can drive the auxiliary clamping block 55 to perform telescopic movements. The auxiliary clamping block 55 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the auxiliary drive cylinder 54, and its side facing the quartz wafer to be tested is designed with an arc surface structure. When the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 drives the auxiliary clamping block 55 to approach the quartz wafer to be tested, the arc surface can form a surface contact with the edge of the quartz wafer to be tested, increasing the contact area while avoiding edge stress concentration and preventing the edge of the quartz wafer to be tested from cracking.
[0029] Since the axes of symmetry of the auxiliary clamping component and the main clamping component are perpendicular to each other, the auxiliary clamping component can fix the quartz wafer under test in a secondary manner from a direction perpendicular to the main clamping component, effectively restricting the rotational freedom of the quartz wafer under test on the horizontal plane. Together with the main clamping component, it forms a cross-shaped clamping, further improving the clamping stability.
[0030] In some embodiments, force sensors can be provided between the main drive cylinder 51 and the main clamping block 52, and between the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 and the auxiliary clamping block 55, to detect the magnitude of the force between the main drive cylinder 51 and the main clamping block 52, and between the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 and the auxiliary clamping block 55, thereby achieving precise control of the force and avoiding clamping failure due to insufficient clamping force or damage to the quartz wafer due to excessive clamping force.
[0031] In some embodiments, the rotating structure 6 includes a rotating motor 61, a rotating block 62, and a mounting groove 63. The rotating motor 61 can be a stepper motor, whose body is fixedly mounted on the base 1 and can be fixedly connected by a bracket or bolts. The output shaft of the rotating motor 61 is arranged in the vertical direction, which can provide stable rotational power and the rotation angle can be precisely controlled. The rotating block 62 can be a rigid cylindrical structure with a groove. The bottom center of the rotating block 62 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 61. When the rotating motor 61 is started, it can drive the rotating block 62 to rotate synchronously around the output shaft axis. The mounting groove 63 is opened on the top of the rotating block 62 near the side of the quartz wafer to be tested. The size of the mounting groove 63 matches the cylinder body of the main drive cylinder 51 of the main clamping assembly. The bottom of the main drive cylinder 51 is embedded and fixed in the mounting groove 63 to ensure that the rotating block 62 can synchronously drive the main clamping assembly and the quartz wafer to be tested to rotate when rotating.
[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the measurement angle of the quartz wafer under test, the rotating motor 61 drives the rotating block 62 to rotate, which in turn drives the main clamping assembly and the quartz wafer under test to rotate around the vertical axis through the mounting slot 63. The rotation angle can be set according to the measurement requirements (such as 180°), and the position of the central axis of the quartz wafer under test remains unchanged during the rotation, so as to avoid the measurement reference shift caused by the rotation.
[0033] In some embodiments, the base 1 includes a base plate 11, a movable structure 12, a sliding block 13, a measuring groove 14, a support plate 15, and a lifting structure 16. The base plate 11 may be made of high-rigidity cast iron, serving as the basic frame of the entire base 1 and ensuring the overall stability of the device. The movable structure 12 is located on top of the base plate 11 and can drive the sliding block 13 to move horizontally. The sliding block 13 is a movable carrier and may be made of aluminum alloy. Its bottom is connected to the movable structure 12. The measuring groove 14 is a recessed structure formed on the top of the sliding block 13, and a light-emitting structure is provided inside the measuring groove 14. 3. The clamping structure 5 and the rotating structure 6 can fix the quartz wafer to be tested in the measuring groove 14. The bottom of the measuring groove 14 is equipped with a light-emitting structure 3 to ensure that light can penetrate the measuring groove 14 to illuminate the quartz wafer to be tested. The support plate 15 can be a vertically set rigid plate. The support plate 15 can be formed by welding steel plates. The two support plates 15 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the base plate 11 to form the mounting bracket of the lifting structure 16. The lifting structure 16 spans between the two support plates 15. Its bottom is connected to the light shield 2, which can drive the light shield 2 to achieve vertical lifting and control the opening and closing of the measuring cavity 7.
[0034] The base plate 11 provides a stable foundation, the moving structure 12 drives the sliding block 13 to adjust the position of the quartz wafer to be tested, the support plate 15 supports the lifting structure 16 to control the lifting of the light shield 2, and the components work together to realize the automated feeding of the quartz wafer to be tested and the sealing control of the measuring cavity 7.
[0035] In some embodiments, the movable structure 12 includes two movable slide rails 121, a movable motor 122, and a lead screw 123. The movable slide rails 121 can be high-precision linear slide rails. The two movable slide rails 121 are symmetrically fixed on the top of the base plate 11 in the horizontal direction and are distributed in parallel to provide sliding guidance for the sliding block 13. The movable motor 122 can be a servo motor and is fixed on the side of the base plate 11 away from the support plate 15. The output shaft is arranged along the length direction of the movable slide rail 121. The lead screw 123 can be a high-precision ball screw. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the base plate 11 through a bearing, and the other end is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the movable motor 122 through a coupling. The lead screw 123 passes through the sliding block 13 in the horizontal direction and is screwed into the threaded hole inside the sliding block 13.
[0036] When it is necessary to move the sliding block 13, the moving motor 122 drives the lead screw 123 to rotate. Through the screw connection between the lead screw 123 and the sliding block 13, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the sliding block 13 along the moving slide rail 121. Due to the high precision characteristics of the servo motor and the ball screw, the positioning accuracy of the sliding block 13 can be controlled at the micron level, ensuring that the quartz crystal under test can be accurately moved to the measurement position in the measurement cavity 7.
[0037] In some embodiments, the lifting structure 16 includes a fixed plate 161, two lifting slide rails 162, a lifting block 163, and a lifting cylinder 164. The fixed plate 161 can be a horizontally arranged rigid plate, fixedly connected to the top of two support plates 15 to form the top frame of the lifting structure 16. The lifting slide rails 162 can be vertical linear slide rails. The two lifting slide rails 162 are respectively vertically fixed on the side of the two support plates 15 that are close to each other and are distributed in parallel. The lifting block 163 can be a vertically arranged block structure. The lifting block 163 can be made of aluminum alloy. Its two sides are respectively slidably connected to the two lifting slide rails 162, and can be vertically lifted along the lifting slide rails 162. The bottom of the lifting block 163 is fixedly connected to the top of the light shield 2. The lifting cylinder 164 can be a thin cylinder. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 164 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 161. The piston rod extends downward in the vertical direction, and the end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting block 163.
[0038] The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 164 retracts, causing the lifting block 163 to slide upward along the lifting slide rail 162, thereby raising the light shield 2 and opening the measuring chamber 7. After the quartz crystal to be tested is fixed in the measuring slot 14, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 164 extends, pushing the lifting block 163 and the light shield 2 downward until the light shield 2 is fastened to the base plate 11, forming a closed measuring chamber 7. The lifting slide rail 162 ensures that the light shield 2 maintains vertical movement during the lifting process, avoiding tilting that could lead to poor sealing.
[0039] In some embodiments, the device further includes a light-shielding structure 8, which can further enhance the light-shielding effect of the measuring cavity 7. The light-shielding structure 8 includes a plurality of first light-shielding rings 81 and a plurality of second light-shielding rings 82. Both the first light-shielding rings 81 and the second light-shielding rings 82 can be made of light-shielding metal. The plurality of first light-shielding rings 81 are fixedly and concentrically distributed at equal intervals along the vertical direction at the bottom edge of the light-shielding cover 2. The plurality of second light-shielding rings 82 are fixedly and concentrically distributed at equal intervals along the vertical direction at the top of the sliding block 13. The outer diameter of the second light-shielding ring 82 is smaller than the gap width between two adjacent first light-shielding rings 81. When the light-shielding cover 2 is fastened to the base plate 11, the second light-shielding ring 82 can be inserted into the gap between two adjacent first light-shielding rings 81 to form a labyrinth-like sealing structure, thereby extending the propagation path and meandering degree of light, increasing the difficulty of light propagation, and preventing external light from entering the measuring cavity 7, thereby avoiding the influence of stray light on the measurement results.
[0040] In some embodiments, the outer surfaces of both the first light-shielding ring 81 and the second light-shielding ring 82 are wrapped with light-absorbing cotton. The light-absorbing cotton can absorb a small amount of stray light entering the gap, further reducing the interference of stray light on the measurement. The light-absorbing cotton can be made of high-density polyester fiber with a light absorption rate of ≥98%, and the surface is treated with anti-static agents to prevent dust from adsorbing and affecting the light-shielding effect. The light-absorbing cotton can be glued to the surfaces of the first light-shielding ring 81 and the second light-shielding ring 82 with high-temperature resistant adhesive to ensure that all surfaces that may reflect light are covered with light-absorbing cotton, minimizing light reflection. Through the interlocking and cooperation between the multiple second light-shielding rings 82 and the multiple first light-shielding rings 81, and the synergistic effect of the light-absorbing cotton, the stray light transmittance of the measurement cavity 7 can be reduced, ensuring the stability of the optical measurement environment.
[0041] In some embodiments, the system may further include a PLC controller, a driver, a touch screen, and a data storage module. The PLC controller may be a Siemens S7-1200 series, which can receive signals from various sensors and control the coordinated operation of the moving motor 122, the lifting cylinder 164, the main drive cylinder 51, the auxiliary drive cylinder 54, the rotary motor 61, the light-emitting structure 3, and the image acquisition structure 4. The driver may include a servo driver, a stepper driver, and a cylinder solenoid valve, which are used to drive the moving motor 122, the rotary motor 61, and the cylinders. The touch screen may be located on the side of the base plate 11 for human-machine interaction, and can be used to set measurement parameters, start and stop measurement, and view measurement results. The data storage module can store measurement data and images, and can support data export through a USB interface and network transmission through an Ethernet interface.
[0042] A quartz wafer size measuring device and method, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Clamping and fixing the quartz wafer to be tested First, the lifting cylinder 164 of the lifting structure 16 retracts, causing the light shield 2 to rise and opening the measuring chamber 7. The moving structure 12 starts, and the moving motor 122 drives the lead screw 123 to rotate, causing the sliding block 13 to slide along the moving slide rail 121 to the loading position. The operator or automated feeding mechanism places the quartz wafer to be tested into the measuring groove 14 of the sliding block 13. The main drive cylinder 51 extends, driving the main clamping block 52 to press against the surface of the quartz wafer to be tested. After the pressure reaches the set value (e.g., 5-8N), it stops. The external vacuum system is activated, and a negative pressure is formed in the negative pressure groove 53 to adsorb the quartz wafer to be tested. At the same time, the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 extends, driving the arc surface of the auxiliary clamping block 55 to contact the edge of the quartz wafer to be tested, completing the auxiliary fixation. Finally, the quartz wafer to be tested is stably fixed in the measuring position in the measuring cavity 7. The moving structure 12 is activated again, which moves the sliding block 13 and the quartz crystal under test to directly below the measuring cavity 7. The lifting cylinder 164 extends and pushes the light shield 2 down, which engages with the sliding block 13 to form a closed measuring cavity 7. At this time, the second light shield 82 is inserted into the gap between the first light shield 81 to complete the light shielding and sealing.
[0043] Step S2: Initial Data Acquisition When the light-emitting structure 3 is activated, it emits uniform light. The light penetrates the measuring groove 14 and shines on the quartz crystal wafer under test, projecting the outline of the quartz crystal wafer under test onto the image acquisition structure 4 above. The industrial camera in image acquisition structure 4 is activated, capturing the projected image of the quartz crystal wafer under test with the help of a microscope lens. The image data is transmitted back to the external processing system (such as an industrial computer) in real time through the transmission module. The external processing system processes the image (such as grayscale conversion and noise reduction) to complete the initial data acquisition and storage.
[0044] Step S3: Rotation and secondary clamping of the quartz wafer under test The light-emitting structure 3 stops working and cuts off the lighting; the auxiliary drive cylinder 54 retracts, driving the auxiliary clamping block 55 away from the quartz crystal under test to avoid interference with the quartz crystal under test during rotation; the rotating motor 61 drives the rotating block 62 to rotate around the output shaft, and drives the main clamping assembly and the quartz crystal under test to rotate synchronously through the mounting slot 63. When the rotation angle reaches the set 180°, the rotating motor 61 stops, and the quartz crystal under test completes the angle adjustment; The auxiliary drive cylinder 54 extends again, causing the arc surface of the auxiliary clamping block 55 to contact the edge of the quartz wafer to be measured, restoring the auxiliary clamping state, keeping the quartz wafer to be measured stable and fixed, and preparing for the second measurement.
[0045] Step S4: Secondary Data Acquisition The light-emitting structure 3 is activated again, emitting uniform light. The light illuminates the quartz crystal under test after the angle has been adjusted, forming a new contour projection. Image acquisition structure 4 captures the projected image again and sends the secondary acquired image data back to the external processing system. The external processing system processes the secondary image to complete the secondary data acquisition and storage.
[0046] Step S5: Data Processing and Dimension Result Output The external processing system performs in-depth processing on the image data acquired twice. It can use edge detection algorithms (such as the Canny algorithm) to extract the edge contour of the quartz wafer under test in the two images, and combine the camera calibration parameters to convert the image pixel size into the actual physical size. Compare and merge the dimensional data (such as length, width, and chamfer radius) from the two measurements: calculate the average of the two data, eliminate possible deviations due to single-angle measurements, and remove abnormal data; The external processing system outputs the final size data of the quartz wafer under test and stores the data in the database. It supports display via touch screen or export via USB interface to complete the entire measurement process.
