[0045] See also Figure 1-6 , a positioning tool for silicon wafer processing:
[0046] The positioning platform 1 is the foundation of the entire tooling. A long strip-shaped support seat 2 is designed on the top. The top surface of the support seat 2 is provided with a laterally distributed arc-shaped groove. This design is intended to provide a stable bottom support surface for the vertical placement of several silicon wafers. At the same time, the arc-shaped groove can adapt to the curvature of the silicon wafer to ensure the precise positioning of the silicon wafer during processing. There are several arc-shaped fixed clamps 3 evenly distributed from left to right on the top of the support seat 2. These clamps are fixed and used to provide basic positioning support. There are arc-shaped movable clamps 4 distributed between adjacent arc-shaped fixed clamps 3. These movable clamps can be moved left and right as needed to achieve the clamping or loosening of the lower edge of each silicon wafer.
[0047] The multi-station synchronous clamping drive mechanism 5 is a key component for achieving the clamping and loosening of silicon wafers. It includes two driving screws 51 that are horizontally distributed in parallel in front and back, and these screws are connected to the front and rear ends of each arc-shaped movable clamping member 4 through threads, so that the rotation of the screws can drive the movement of the clamping member. A synchronous driving mechanism 52 is installed on the right end surface of the positioning platform 1, which is used to synchronously drive the front and rear driving screws 51 to rotate, thereby realizing the left and right sliding operation of all arc-shaped movable clamping members 4, and then cooperating with each arc-shaped fixed clamping member 3 to perform the clamping and loosening operation on the lower edge of each silicon wafer.
[0048] The synchronous drive mechanism 52 includes a drive motor 521 installed inside the right end of the positioning platform 1, and a drive sprocket 522 is connected to the output end thereof. The drive sprocket 522 is connected to two drive sprockets 523 through a transmission chain belt 524, and the two drive sprockets 523 are respectively connected to the drive shaft 525 connected to the right ends of the drive screw 51 on the front and rear sides. This design ensures that the rotation of the drive motor 521 can be transmitted to the drive screw 51 through the sprocket and the chain belt, so as to achieve precise control of the arc-shaped moving clamping member 4. The transmission ratio between the drive sprocket 522 and the transmission sprocket 523 is set to 1:2, which means that for every rotation of the drive motor 521, the drive screw 51 will rotate two circles, thereby achieving a faster clamping operation.
[0049] The upper end clamping and positioning member 7 is used to clamp and position the upper edge of the silicon wafer to ensure the stability of the silicon wafer during processing. The component includes four sliding sleeves 73, which can slide up and down along the pillar 6. The four corner ends are fixed to the fixed frame 71 on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 73, and the silicon wafer upper edge clamping rollers 72 are installed between the left and right frames of the fixed frame 71. These rollers can apply uniform pressure to the upper edge of the silicon wafer. A limiting screw 74 is also installed on each sliding sleeve 73, and the inner end of the limiting screw 72 is pressed against the outer cylindrical surface of the corresponding pillar 6. In this way, the position of the sliding sleeve 73 can be fixed by adjusting the limiting screw 74 to ensure that the clamping force on the upper edge of the silicon wafer is always consistent.
[0050] How it works
[0051] The silicon wafer is placed in the arc-shaped groove of the support seat 2 on the positioning platform 1, and it is ensured that the lower edge of each silicon wafer is correspondingly distributed between the adjacent arc-shaped fixed clamping members 3 and the arc-shaped movable clamping members 4.
[0052] The driving motor 521 in the synchronous driving mechanism 52 is started, and the power is transmitted to the two driving sprockets 523 through the driving sprocket 522 and the driving chain belt 524, thereby driving the driving screw rods 51 on the front and rear sides to rotate.
[0053] The rotation of the driving screw 51 drives the arc-shaped movable clamping member 4 to move leftward on the supporting seat 2 through the threaded connection, and cooperates with a plurality of arc-shaped fixed clamping members 3 to realize the clamping operation on the lower edge of the silicon wafer.
[0054] The upper end pressing positioning member 7 is operated to slide up and down along the support 6 through the sliding sleeve 73 to adjust the position of the fixing frame 71 so that the pressing roller 72 at the upper edge of the silicon wafer applies uniform pressure to the upper edge of the silicon wafer.
[0055] By adjusting the limiting screw 74 on the sliding sleeve 73, the upper end pressing and positioning member 7 is limited.
[0056] After the silicon wafer is accurately clamped and positioned, subsequent processing operations are carried out.
[0057] After the processing is completed, the upper end clamping positioning member 7 is adjusted to release the pressure on the upper edge of the silicon wafer, and the synchronous driving mechanism 52 is reversely operated to make the arc-shaped movable clamping member 4 release the lower edge of the silicon wafer, and the silicon wafer can be taken out.
