[0021] Example:

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4, an emergency protection device for semiconductor wafer cleaning equipment, comprising a cleaning seat 1 and a water pump 6 fixed on its side wall, and also comprising: a mounting plate 2 fixed to the side wall of the cleaning seat 1, a flushing pipe 21 sliding along the straight section of the mounting plate 2 is arranged on the mounting plate 2, the upper end of the flushing pipe 21 is fixed and connected with a water inlet pipe 61, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 61 is fixed and connected with the output end of the water pump 6; a protection part for emergency interception and drainage of the water flow inside the flushing pipe 21 is arranged on the flushing pipe 21, wherein the protection part comprises a conversion pipe 3, the conversion pipe 3 penetrates and is fixed to the upper part of the flushing pipe 21, and the flushing pipe 21 is connected with the inner cavity of the conversion pipe 3, and the conversion pipe 3 A sliding column 31 is connected internally for sliding movement. A water-passing groove 311 is provided on the side wall of the sliding column 31. A drainage groove 312 and a guide groove 313 are provided on both sides of the interior of the sliding column 31. The two ends of the drainage groove 312 are respectively connected to the flushing pipe 21 and the lower inclined section of the conversion pipe 3. The two ends of the guide groove 313 are respectively connected to the flushing pipe 21 and the upper inclined section of the conversion pipe 3. The lower inclined section of the flushing pipe 21 is fixed and connected to the drainage pipe 22. The end of the upper inclined section of the conversion pipe 3 is connected to the guide pipe 32. A reset spring 33 is fixedly connected between the side wall of the sliding column 31 and the inner wall of the conversion pipe 3. The end of the conversion pipe 3 is connected to a driving part that pushes the sliding column 31 to slide.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The driving part includes a friction wheel 4, a driving chamber 41 is provided on the side wall of the cleaning seat 1, the friction wheel 4 is rotatably connected in the driving chamber 41, a driving motor 5 is fixedly connected in the cleaning seat 1, a cleaning disc 51 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the driving motor 5, the friction wheel 4 rotates in close contact with the side wall of the cleaning disc 51, a driven chamber 42 is provided in the cleaning seat 1 below the driving chamber 41, the rotating shaft of the friction wheel 4 extends through the driven chamber 42 and is fixedly connected with a push flow blade 421, a guide ring 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning seat 1, the bottom of the side wall of the driven chamber 42 is communicated with the inner cavity of the guide ring 43, and the end of the guide pipe 32 away from the conversion pipe 3 is communicated with the inner cavity of the guide ring 43;

[0024] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the flushing pipe 21 is connected to the drainage groove 312 and is in a state of interception and drainage; when pressure is applied to the sliding column 31, the return spring 33 is compressed to the maximum extent, and the flushing pipe 21 is connected to the water groove 311 and is in a state of accelerated flow, and then when the applied pressure suddenly disappears, it will be converted into a state of interception and drainage.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4When in use, the driving motor 5 will drive the cleaning disc 51 to rotate, and the friction between the cleaning disc 51 and the friction wheel 4 will cause the friction wheel 4 to drive the flow-pushing blade 421 to rotate, thereby generating a downward airflow thrust in the driven chamber 42, and this part of the airflow will enter the conversion tube 3 along the guide ring 43 and the guide tube 32, and push the sliding column 31 in the conversion tube 3 to move, so that the water groove 311 on the side wall of the sliding column 31 moves to the connection with the flushing tube 21, thereby completing the conversion of the flushing connection state. When the driving motor 5 stops rotating due to a fault, the friction wheel 4 and the flow-pushing blade 4 21 will stop rotating. At this time, the guide tube 32 will stop applying thrust to the conversion tube 3. Under the rebound action of the reset spring 33, the sliding column 31 will move up and reset, and return to the state where the flushing tube 21 is connected with the drainage groove 312. At this time, the water will flow out along the drainage tube 22 to avoid the sudden interception and cause the water pump 6 to overload, thereby improving the protection effect on the water pump 6. There will be no more water delivery in the flushing tube 21, realizing emergency shutdown protection, avoiding the cleaning water flow from continuously flushing a single position of the semiconductor wafer when the drive motor 5 fails, thereby improving the protection effect on the semiconductor wafer.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
