The output end of the motor 9 passes through the top surface of the equipment body 1 and extends to the interior of the equipment body 1. The output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the grinding disc 6. The wafer is placed on the stage 7 and the distance between the stage 7 and the grinding disc 6 is adjusted by the control component 4 according to the thickness to be polished. Then, the wafer can be clamped by the clamping component 3 to prevent the wafer from shifting during polishing, thereby affecting the polishing effect of the wafer. The polishing liquid waste water during polishing can be collected through the liquid collecting component 2 to avoid the polishing liquid waste water from polluting the polished wafer.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the liquid collecting component 2 includes two support blocks 203, and the opposite sides of the two support blocks 203 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two support legs 10 respectively. The top surfaces of the two support blocks 203 are slidably connected with a liquid collecting drawer 204. The liquid collecting drawer 204 can effectively collect the waste water of the polishing liquid. The liquid collecting component 2 also includes a plurality of lower liquid holes 201 opened on the top surface of the stage 7 and a liquid outlet trough 202 opened on the bottom surface of the stage 7. The plurality of lower liquid holes 201 are communicated with the liquid outlet trough 202. The liquid collecting component 2 also includes a liquid collecting trough 205. The liquid collecting trough 205 can send the polishing liquid waste water flowing out of the lower liquid holes 201 and the liquid outlet trough 202 into the interior of the liquid collecting drawer 204.

Then, when the wafer is fixed, the two electric telescopic rods 403 are started at the same time, and the two electric telescopic rods 403 are started to drive the two trapezoidal blocks 404 to move in relative directions, and the two trapezoidal blocks 404 are used to cooperate with the two inclined surfaces on both sides of the stage 7 so that as the two trapezoidal blocks 404 move in opposite directions, the two trapezoidal blocks 404 can move in opposite directions. The displacement stage 7 of block 404 can move upward with the fixed wafer close to the grinding disk 6, and then start the motor 9 to drive the grinding disk 6 to rotate, and add polishing liquid on the grinding surface of the wafer during the grinding process, and then the waste water of the polishing liquid flows into the interior of the stage 7 through the lower liquid hole 201 on the top surface of the stage 7, and flows into the interior of the liquid collecting tank 205 from the liquid outlet 202 at the bottom of the stage 7, and finally enters the interior of the liquid collecting drawer 204, and the waste water of the polishing liquid is collected and processed through the liquid collecting drawer 204.
