Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon wafer sorting machines, in particular to a silicon wafer guiding device. Background Art

[0002] The silicon wafer sorting machine generally consists of three parts: loading, testing and unloading sorting. The testing machine tests various indicators of silicon wafers. The silicon wafers quickly flow through the various testing stations of the testing machine through the water conveyor line to complete the testing of various indicators. For the testing factors such as silicon wafer thickness and edge collapse, the silicon wafer needs to enter the testing station stably, and the posture of the subsequent silicon wafer sorting into the material box is affected. Therefore, the silicon wafer needs to be corrected on the conveyor line before entering the testing station. In the existing correction device, when the silicon wafer deviates at a large angle on the conveyor line, the corner of the silicon wafer will hit the guide wheel, thereby causing the risk of material blockage. Moreover, each guide wheel is an unpowered idle wheel. When the silicon wafer contacts quickly, friction and other factors will cause the risk of slowing down the transmission speed of the silicon wafer. It is not suitable for the silicon wafer correction function during the operation of the high-speed silicon wafer sorting machine. In addition, when the silicon wafer is quickly transmitted on the conveyor line, the edge of the silicon wafer only rubs against one position of the guide belt, so the guide belt wears quickly and needs to be replaced frequently, thereby increasing production costs.

[0037] Description of the working method of this utility model:

[0038] When the silicon wafer 27 enters the device from the outside, it is held and conveyed forward by two conveyor lines 20. When it reaches the guiding mechanism, the two sides of the silicon wafer 27 first contact the guiding belts 16 on both sides of the guiding mechanism, and as the silicon wafer 27 continues to move forward, the silicon wafer 27 enters the middle of the guiding mechanism from between the two trumpet-shaped guiding belts 16, and realizes the direction correction under the correction of the two guiding belts 16. Since the speed of the guiding motor 14 is consistent with that of the two conveyor lines 20, the silicon wafer 27 is clamped stably after entering the guiding mechanism, and the efficient guiding effect of fast passage is maintained. After the guiding mechanism has been used for a period of time, the two guiding belts 16 will be worn to a certain extent. At this time, the height of the two guiding belts 16 can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism to avoid the worn position, so that the guiding mechanism still maintains the original guiding effect, and the utilization rate of the guiding belts 16 is also improved. The guiding belts 16 can be replaced after they are fully utilized, which effectively saves costs.
