The driving mechanism drives the driving shaft to rotate according to a certain rule to flip multiple silicon wafers from one side to the other. The flipping discs in the prior art are usually integrally injection molded. Since multiple silicon wafers need to be flipped for a long time, the flipping discs are easily deformed, so the entire flipping disc needs to be replaced. Therefore, the flipping mechanism has a short service life and also increases the replacement cost. Utility Model Content

The flipping disk of the flipping assembly is composed of a plurality of detachable fan blade assemblies. When flipping multiple silicon wafers for a long time, it is not easy to cause the flipping disk to deform, which greatly improves the service life of the equipment. After long-term use, if deformation occurs, the fan blade assembly can also be replaced separately, which greatly reduces the replacement cost of the equipment.

[0008] In one of the embodiments, a detachable wear-resistant disk is provided on the opposite side of the two flip disks of the flap mechanism, the wear-resistant disk is sleeved on the fixed component, and the outer edge of the wear-resistant disk is close to the accommodating groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a flap mechanism, including a plurality of flap devices 1, the flap devices 1 include a frame 11, a plurality of flap assemblies 12, a drive shaft 13 and a motor 14, both ends of the drive shaft 13 are rotatably connected to the frame 11 respectively, the motor 14 is mounted at one end of the frame 11, the drive end of the motor 14 is connected to the drive shaft 13, a plurality of flap assemblies 12 are spaced apart on the drive shaft 13, and adjacent flap assemblies 12 are spaced apart by the distance of a silicon wafer.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly 12 includes two flipping disks 121 and a fixing assembly 122. The fixing assembly 122 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 13. The two flipping disks 121 are spaced apart and sleeved on the fixing assembly 122 and fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 122. The spacing between the flipping disks 121 is less than the length of a silicon wafer.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the flip disk 121 includes a plurality of detachable fan blade assemblies 100 arranged circumferentially along the fixed assembly 122, and a receiving groove 101 for receiving silicon wafers is formed between adjacent fan blade assemblies 100. The fan blade assembly 100 includes a number of fan blades 001 and a number of fan blades 002. The number two fan blades 002 have the same shape as the number one fan blades 001 and are larger than the number one fan blades 001. The number two fan blades 002 are connected to the number one fan blades 001.

[0029] Specifically, the flipping device 1 of the flipping mechanism is composed of a frame 11, a plurality of flipping assemblies 12, a driving shaft 13 and a motor 14. The flipping assemblies 12 are spaced apart by a distance of a silicon wafer. The flipping assemblies 12 include two flipping discs 121 and a fixing assembly 122. The fixing assembly 122 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 13 by screws. The two flipping discs 121 are parallelly spaced and installed on the fixing assembly 122, and are fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 122 by screws. The distance between the two flipping discs 121 is less than the length of the silicon wafer. The flipping disc 121 can be provided with 18 detachable blade assemblies 100 along the circumference, and a receiving groove 101 for receiving silicon wafers is formed between adjacent blade assemblies 100. The motor 14 drives the driving shaft 13 to drive the 6 groups of flipping assemblies 12 to rotate. The silicon wafer loading mechanism sequentially transfers the silicon wafers to the receiving groove 101 of the flipping assembly. The flipping assembly 12 rotates to flip the silicon wafer from one side to the other side, and then cooperates with the silicon wafer unloading mechanism to transfer the silicon wafer to other mechanisms. The detachable fan blade assembly 100 includes a No. 1 fan blade 001 and a No. 2 fan blade 002. The No. 2 fan blade 002 has the same shape as the No. 1 fan blade 001, and is larger than the No. 1 fan blade 001. When the silicon wafer extends into the receiving groove 101, the No. 2 fan blade 002 bears most of the weight of the silicon wafer.

[0030] In the above structure, by using a separate detachable blade assembly 100, when a plurality of silicon wafers are flipped over for a long time, the flip plate 121 is not easily deformed, which greatly improves the service life of the device. Since most of the weight of the silicon wafer is on the second blade 002, if it is deformed after long-term use, the second blade 002 can be replaced separately, which greatly reduces the replacement cost of the equipment.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, a detachable wear-resistant disk 123 is provided on the opposite side of the two flip disks 121 of the flap mechanism, and the wear-resistant disk 123 is sleeved on the fixing assembly 122 , and the outer edge of the wear-resistant disk 123 is close to the accommodating groove 101 .

[0032] Specifically, the outer edge of the wear-resistant disk 123 is close to the receiving groove 101 , and when the silicon wafer extends into the receiving groove 101 , it collides with the wear-resistant disk 123 .

[0033] The above structure, by providing the wear-resistant disc 123, generates friction between the silicon wafer and the wear-resistant disc 123, reduces the wear on the flip disc 121, and thus increases the service life of the flip disc 121. The wear-resistant disc 123 can be replaced separately, and the replacement cost of the equipment is also reduced.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the flip disc 121 of the flap mechanism includes two semicircular flip discs 102 , and the wear-resistant disc 123 includes two semicircular wear-resistant discs 103 .

[0035] According to the above arrangement, if deformation occurs after long-term use, the semicircular flip disc 102 or the semicircular wear-resistant disc 103 can be replaced separately, thereby reducing the replacement cost.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing component 122 of the flip mechanism includes two fixing parts 104, the fixing part 104 includes two semicircular protrusions 003 and a semicircular cylinder 004, a groove 005 for accommodating the drive shaft 13 is arranged in the semicircular cylinder 004, the two semicircular protrusions 003 are installed on the semicircular cylinder 004 at intervals, the interval between the semicircular protrusions 003 is less than the length of a silicon wafer, and fixing holes 006 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 13 are arranged at both ends of the semicircular cylinder 004, the semicircular flip disk 102 is sleeved on the semicircular cylinder 004 between the semicircular protrusions 003 and the fixing holes 006, and is connected to the semicircular protrusions 003, and the semicircular wear-resistant disk 103 is sleeved on the semicircular protrusions 003, and is connected to the semicircular flip disk 102.

[0037] Specifically, the two semicircular cylinders 004 of the fixing assembly 122 are respectively wrapped around the drive shaft 13, and the bolt assembly passes through the fixing holes 006 of the drive shaft 13 and the two semicircular cylinders 004 to fix the two semicircular cylinders 004 and the drive shaft 13 together. Two semicircular protrusions 003 are arranged on the semicircular cylinder 004 at intervals. The semicircular flip disk 102 is sleeved on the semicircular cylinder 004 and is connected to the semicircular protrusion 003 by the bolt assembly. The semicircular wear-resistant disk 103 is sleeved on the semicircular protrusion 003 and is connected to the semicircular flip disk 102 by screws.

[0038] The above arrangement facilitates the fixed connection between the semicircular flip plate 102 and the semicircular protrusion 003 , and facilitates the fixed connection between the semicircular wear-resistant plate 103 and the semicircular flip plate 102 .

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the wear-resistant disk 123 of the flap mechanism is made of POM material.

[0040] This material has high cost performance and good wear resistance.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a trigger component 131 is provided at one end of the driving shaft 13 of the flipping mechanism, and a photoelectric sensor 111 is provided on the side of the frame 11 close to the trigger component 131. The photoelectric sensor 111 cooperates with the trigger component 131 to control the motor to return to the reference point.

[0042] Specifically, when the device fails or is being debugged, the photoelectric sensor 111 cooperates with the trigger component 131 to send a signal to the motor to return to the reference point. This arrangement facilitates the motor to return to the reference point.

[0043] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
