Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of silicon wafer coating, in particular to a dust removal device for cleaning a silicon wafer carrier and silicon wafer coating equipment using the dust removal device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the energy consumption structure dominated by fossil energy has brought severe challenges such as environmental pollution and climate change. The transformation of the global energy structure has become a global consensus. Vigorously developing clean energy can not only gradually improve the energy structure, ensure energy security, and promote environmental protection, but also has great significance for promoting ecological civilization. As an inexhaustible and inexhaustible renewable energy source for mankind, solar energy has an important influence in the long-term energy strategy due to its unique full cleanliness, absolute safety and relative extensiveness. Among them, photovoltaics, as a representative of new energy, have increased their cumulative installed capacity by 25 times in the past decade, and the cost of photovoltaics has dropped by about 70% so far. The most important in the photovoltaic industry is solar cells. In order to increase the production capacity of solar cells, the production yield of solar cells has always been the focus of research and development.

[0003] In the production process of solar cells, enterprises mainly use plate-type PVD coating equipment to coat silicon wafers. Plate-type PVD coating equipment loads silicon wafers through carriers and transports them into the process chamber for coating. When coating in the process chamber, in addition to the film being coated on the silicon wafer, a film layer will also be formed on the carrier. Since the carrier is a reusable structure, as the thickness of the film layer increases, loose dust particles will be generated on the surface and sides of the carrier, which are very easy to fall off. When the carrier enters the inlet chamber, the vacuum pump configured in the process chamber begins to evacuate. The friction between the gas and the surface of the carrier will cause dust particles to fall off the carrier, and the fallen dust will fall on the silicon wafer to be coated, thereby polluting the silicon wafer; as the number of times the carrier enters and exits the chamber increases, more and more dust is accumulated, and the dust will cause more and more serious film layer pollution, causing problems such as hidden cracks and broken pieces in the solar cells made of silicon wafer coating.

[0004] To this end, some plate-type PVD coating equipment with carrier dust removal devices have appeared on the market. The plate-type PVD coating equipment arranges a wind knife or an air suction hood above a conveying assembly used to convey the carrier. When the carrier is not used to load silicon wafers, the conveying assembly drives the empty carrier to move past the wind knife or the air suction hood, and the wind knife sprays air to blow away the dust on the surface of the carrier, or the air suction hood generates negative pressure and sucks away the dust on the surface of the carrier. Although the above structure can clean the dust on the surface of the carrier, in order to increase the structural strength of the current carrier, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals on the surface of the carrier. In order to prevent the reinforcing ribs on the surface of the carrier from colliding with the above-mentioned wind knife or the air suction hood during the movement of the carrier, the current plate-type PVD coating equipment generally arranges the wind knife or the air suction hood above a long distance from the carrier, thereby affecting the effect of the wind knife or the air suction hood in cleaning the dust on the surface of the carrier.

[0029] Figures 1 to 3 It is a schematic diagram of certain embodiments of a dust removal device for cleaning a silicon wafer carrier according to the utility model.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , and mainly refer to Figure 3 to Figure 2According to certain embodiments of the utility model, a dust removal device for cleaning a silicon wafer carrier is provided. For the sake of convenience, it is sometimes referred to as a "dust removal device" hereinafter. A dust removal device for cleaning a silicon wafer carrier comprises a generally long strip-shaped support 100. A first conveying component is provided on the upper surface of the support 100. The first conveying component is used to convey the carrier 500 along a preset direction. In this embodiment, the first conveying component conveys the carrier 500 along a front-to-back direction. A dust removal component is provided at the front end of the support 100. The dust removal component is located above the first conveying component. A distance is left between the dust removal component and the first conveying component for the carrier 500 to move through. The dust removal component is used to dust the loading surface of the carrier 500 on which the silicon wafer is placed. In this embodiment, the loading surface of the carrier 500 on which the silicon wafer is placed is the upper surface of the carrier 500. The dust removal component is connected to an air pressure generator. The air pressure generator can convey gas with a certain pressure to the dust removal component so that the dust removal component is sprayed or blown, or the air pressure generator can extract gas and form a negative pressure area at the dust removal component. The bracket 100 is also provided with a lifting drive mechanism, which is transmission-connected with the dust removal component, and the lifting drive mechanism can drive the dust removal component to lift up and down. The dust removal device of this embodiment also includes a detection device and a control circuit, the detection device is arranged on the bracket 100 and is located on one side of the first conveying component, the detection device is used to detect the reinforcing ribs 510 of the carrier 500, and the lifting drive mechanism and the detection device are both electrically connected to the control circuit, wherein, when the first conveying component conveys the carrier 500 along a preset direction and moves through the detection device, the detection device detects the reinforcing ribs 510 of the carrier 500 and feeds back information to the control circuit, and the control circuit can control the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move downward close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, or the control circuit can control the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move upward and rise to avoid the reinforcing ribs 510 of the carrier 500.

[0031] The working process of the dust removal device of this embodiment is as follows: in the initial state, the lifting drive mechanism drives the dust removal component to move upward and rise. At this time, the dust removal component is located at a position far above the first conveying component. When the carrier 500 without silicon wafers is placed on the first conveying component of the bracket 100, the first conveying component is started, and the first conveying component conveys the carrier 500 along a preset direction. When the reinforcing rib 510 at the front end of the carrier 500 moves to the position corresponding to the detection device, the detection device detects the reinforcing rib 510 and feeds back information to the control circuit. The control circuit can determine that the reinforcing rib 510 at the front end of the carrier 500 has moved past the dust removal component. At this time, the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move downward close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, so that the dust removal component can clean the loading surface of the carrier 500 more closely. When the dust removal component cleans the loading surface of the carrier 500, During the process, the first conveying component continues to convey the carrier 500 along the preset direction. After the detection device detects the reinforcement 510 of the carrier 500 again, the detection device again feeds back information to the control circuit. At this time, the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move upward and rise to avoid the reinforcement 510 of the carrier 500. After the first conveying component drives the carrier 500 to move and makes the reinforcement 510 of the carrier 500 move past the position of the dust removal component, the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism again to drive the dust removal component to move downward close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, so that the dust removal component can clean the loading surface of the carrier 500 more closely, and the cycle is repeated.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the working process of the above-mentioned dust removal device, the initial state of the dust removal component is in the raised state, while in other embodiments of the present invention, the initial state of the dust removal component is in the lowered state, at which time the dust removal component is in a position close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, and when the carrier 500 without silicon wafers is placed on the first conveying component of the bracket 100, the first conveying component is started, and the first conveying component conveys the carrier 500 along a preset direction, and waits for the reinforcing rib 510 at the front end of the carrier 500 to move to a position corresponding to the detection device, the detection device detects the reinforcing rib 510 and feeds back information to the control circuit, and the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move upward and rise to avoid the reinforcing rib 510 of the carrier 500, and after the first conveying component drives the carrier 500 to move and makes the reinforcing rib 510 of the carrier 500 move past the position of the dust removal component, the control circuit controls The lifting drive mechanism drives the dust removal component to move downward and close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, so that the dust removal component can clean the loading surface of the carrier 500 more closely. During the process of the dust removal component cleaning the loading surface of the carrier 500, the first conveying component continues to convey the carrier 500 along the preset direction. The detection device detects the reinforcement 510 of the carrier 500 again, and the detection device again feeds back information to the control circuit. At this time, the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism to drive the dust removal component to move upward and rise to avoid the reinforcement 510 of the carrier 500. After the first conveying component drives the carrier 500 to move and makes the reinforcement 510 of the conveying drive carrier 500 move past the position of the dust removal component, the control circuit controls the lifting drive mechanism again to drive the dust removal component to move downward and close to the loading surface of the carrier 500, so that the dust removal component can clean the loading surface of the carrier 500 more closely, and the cycle is repeated.

[0033] By adopting the above structure, the dust removal component of the dust removal device of this embodiment can clean the surface of the carrier 500 more closely, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0034] In order to simplify the structure of the dust removal assembly, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dust removal assembly includes a cover body 200 and a first connecting pipe, the cover body 200 is connected to the air pressure generator through the first connecting pipe, the lower part of the cover body 200 is provided with an opening 210 facing the first conveying assembly, and the lifting drive mechanism is in transmission connection with the cover body 200. By adopting the above structure, the opening 210 at the lower part of the cover body 200 faces the first conveying assembly, so when the first conveying assembly conveys the carrier 500 and makes the carrier 500 move through the cover body 200, the air pressure generator can spray air to the loading surface of the carrier 510 through the opening 210 of the cover body 200 to blow away the dust, or the air pressure generator can inhale air and form a negative pressure area at the opening 210 of the cover body 200, and then the cover body 200 can suck away the dust on the loading surface of the carrier 500 through the negative pressure suction force, which not only achieves the purpose of cleaning the loading surface of the carrier 500, but also makes the structure of the dust removal assembly more compact, convenient for production, and helps to reduce production costs.

[0035] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the air pressure generator includes a negative pressure machine, which is also called a vacuum generator. Since the negative pressure machine is a well-known technology in the art, it will not be described here. The cover body 200 is connected to the negative pressure machine through a first connecting pipe. The cover body 200 is arranged along the width direction of the bracket 100. In the direction perpendicular to the carrier 500, the width of the opening 210 is greater than the width of the loading surface. By adopting the above structure, when the negative pressure machine works and forms a negative pressure area at the opening 210 at the lower part of the cover body 200, the lateral width of the negative pressure area is greater than the width of the loading surface of the carrier 500. Therefore, when the first conveying component conveys the carrier 500 along the preset direction, the negative pressure area can cover the entire loading surface of the carrier 500, and the dust removal effect is better.

[0036] In certain embodiments of the utility model, the dust removal assembly includes at least one wind knife, a second connecting pipe and a fan, the wind knife is arranged on the cover body 200, all the wind knives are connected to the fan through the second connecting pipe, and the air outlet of the wind knife faces the first conveying assembly. When the fan works normally and blows air to the wind knife through the second connecting pipe, when the first conveying assembly conveys the carrier 500 along the preset direction and makes the carrier 500 located below the wind knife, the wind knife can blow air to the loading surface of the carrier 500. By adopting the above structure, the wind knife can blow out a stronger airflow, thereby blowing away or blowing up the dust that is more firmly bonded to the surface of the carrier 500, so that the cover body 200 can absorb the dust under negative pressure, further improving the dust removal effect of the dust removal assembly. Since the structure of the wind knife is a conventional technology in the art, it will not be repeated here.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple wind knives, which are evenly spaced on the cover 200 along the width direction of the bracket 100. By adopting the above structure, multiple wind knives can simultaneously blow air to clean dust on the loading surface of the carrier 500, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In order to simplify the structure of the first conveying assembly, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first conveying assembly includes a motor and at least one set of conveyor belts 300; the conveyor belts 300 are arranged on the bracket 100 along the horizontal direction, the motor is fixedly installed on the bracket 100, and the motor is connected to the conveyor belts 300 in a transmission manner. Specifically, there are two sets of conveyor belts 300, and the two sets of conveyor belts 300 are arranged on opposite sides of the bracket 100 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the horizontal heights of the two sets of conveyor belts 300 are the same; the motor is connected to one set of conveyor belts 300 in a transmission manner, and the two sets of conveyor belts 300 are connected in a transmission manner through a transmission shaft 310. By adopting the above structure, the first conveying assembly can better convey the carrier 500, and the carrier 500 only needs to be placed on the two sets of conveyor belts 300.

[0039] It is understandable that in addition to the above-mentioned structure, the first conveying assembly may also adopt other structures. For example, the first conveying assembly includes multiple conveying rollers and a driving motor. The multiple conveying rollers are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the length direction of the bracket 100. The driving motor is disposed on the bracket 100. The driving motor is connected to all the conveying rollers through a gear transmission mechanism. When the carrier 500 is placed on the conveying rollers, the driving motor drives the conveying rollers to rotate to convey the carrier 500.

[0040] In certain embodiments of the utility model, the lifting drive mechanism includes a piston cylinder 400. Specifically, the piston cylinder 400 can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which can be determined according to actual needs. The piston cylinder 400 is fixedly installed on the bracket 100, and the piston rod of the piston cylinder 400 is connected to the dust removal component in a transmission manner. The piston cylinder 400 can drive the dust removal component to move up and down. In this embodiment, the piston rod of the piston cylinder 400 is connected to the cover body 200. At this time, the piston cylinder 400 can drive the cover body 200 to move up and down. By setting the lifting drive mechanism as the piston cylinder 400, the structure of the lifting drive mechanism can be greatly simplified, which is convenient for the production and manufacture of the dust removal device.

[0041] It should be noted that in addition to the above-mentioned piston cylinder 400, the lifting drive mechanism may also adopt other structures. For example, the lifting drive mechanism is an electric push rod, which is fixedly installed on the bracket 100, and the protruding end of the electric push rod is transmission-connected to the dust removal assembly. In this embodiment, the protruding end of the electric push rod can be connected to the cover body 200.

Further, the number of guide assemblies 700 is two groups, and the two groups of guide assemblies 700 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the bracket 100.
