When the wafer is coated, the external control system first energizes and heats the corresponding thermal fuse 704 on the trimming disk according to the size of the wafer, and then the external control system starts the lifting mechanism 8, and the trimming disk and the thermal fuse 704 above are driven to rise by the lifting mechanism 8 until they contact the film around the wafer to complete the trimming, and then the trimming disk and the thermal fuse 704 are driven by the lifting mechanism 8 to fall and reset. The trimming assembly 7 can achieve the effect of fast trimming of the wafer after the film is coated. Compared with the traditional trimming by cutting knife, the trimming process is simplified, the operation convenience and trimming efficiency are improved, and the trimming method of hot melting is adopted, the edge processing is smooth, and the trimming quality is better. In addition, compared with the cutting knife, the thermal fuse 704 generally does not wear, has a longer service life, and has a lower maintenance cost.

[0041] The lifting mechanism 8 includes a motor 801, a screw rod 802, a cavity 803, a threaded block 804 and an electromagnet 805. The motor 801 is installed at the lower end of the base 1. The screw rod 802 passes through the through holes on the first trimming disk 701, the second trimming disk 702 and the third trimming disk 703 and is movably installed between the positioning disk 4 and the base 1. The two ends of the screw rod 802 are rotatably connected to the positioning disk 4 and the base 1 respectively. The lower end of the screw rod 802 passes through the mounting hole at the lower end of the base 1 and is connected to the output end of the motor 801. Then, the cavity 803 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the through holes on the first trimming disk 701, the second trimming disk 702 and the third trimming disk 703, the threaded block 804 is slidably connected in the cavity 803, and one side of the threaded block 804 is opened with a thread matching the screw rod 802, the electromagnet 805 is installed in the first trimming disk 701, the second trimming disk 702 and the third trimming disk 703 on both sides of the cavity 803, and a permanent magnet 806 matching the electromagnet 805 is installed in the threaded block 804. After the laminating device is started, the external control system controls all the electromagnets 805 to be energized, generating attraction to the permanent magnets 806, so that all the threaded blocks 804 are located on the side of the cavity 803 away from the screw rod 802. When it is necessary to drive the trimming disk of the corresponding size and its thermal fuse 704 to rise, the external control system is first used to control the change of the current direction of the electromagnet 805 on the trimming disk. The electromagnet 805 will generate a repulsive force on the inner permanent magnet 806, so that the inner threaded block 804 moves toward the direction of the screw rod 802 and engages with the screw rod 802. Then the motor 801 is started, and the motor 801 drives the screw rod 802 to rotate. The screw rod 802 drives the trimming disk and the thermal fuse 704 to rise through the threaded block 804 to complete the wafer trimming. After the trimming is completed, the external control system controls the motor 801 to reverse the screw rod 802 to reset the trimming disk. Through the lifting mechanism 8, each trimming disk is independently lifted and controlled, so that the trimming disks of corresponding sizes are driven to perform trimming according to wafers of different sizes, further ensuring the trimming quality and efficiency of the wafers.

[0042] Several buffer blocks 9 are installed on the inner sides of the first trimming disc 701 , the second trimming disc 702 and the third trimming disc 703 . The buffer blocks 9 can keep a certain gap between the trimming discs to prevent friction and collision.

[0043] The first trimming disc 701, the second trimming disc 702 and the third trimming disc 703 are slidably connected to the support rod 3 by providing sliding holes, and the support rod 3 can also prevent the trimming discs from rotating.

[0044] The height of the first trimming disk 701 is greater than that of the second trimming disk 702, and the height of the second trimming disk 702 is greater than that of the third trimming disk 703. As each trimming disk rises, it drives the trimming disk above it to rise synchronously, such a height setting can ensure that the outermost trimming disk contacts the upper film first for trimming.

[0045] A slide bar 8041 is provided on the outer wall of the threaded block 804 , and the slide bar 8041 is slidably connected to a slide groove on the wall of the cavity 803 . The sliding connection between the slide bar 8041 and the slide groove can improve the stability of the threaded block 804 when moving.

[0046] A mounting cover 10 for mounting the motor 801 is mounted on the lower end surface of the base 1 . The mounting cover 10 can provide certain support for the motor 801 and also protect the motor 801 .
