Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a quartz wafer corrosion cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Quartz wafers, quartz wafers are referred to as wafers for short. The wafers are sorted by frequency sorting feeders, and then etched by etching cleaning machines to unify the frequency range of the wafers. The wafers are cut into large square pieces using quartz crystal rods, and then processed into smaller wafers through a series of processes. The wafers will produce mechanical vibrations when subjected to an external alternating electric field. When the frequency of the alternating electric field is the same as the natural frequency of the quartz crystal, the vibration becomes very strong. This is the characteristic of the wafer frequency. Using this characteristic, the frequency of a single wafer can be measured, classified, and then etched to unify the frequency range.

[0003] The traditional method is to place the quartz crystal in a crystal basket, then place it in a corrosion liquid pool, shake the corrosion basket to corrode the crystal, and then place the crystal basket in a cleaning pool and shake it to clean it. The existing technology uses manual operation, where the crystal basket is held by hand and shaken manually for cleaning. This method not only has high labor intensity and high labor costs, but also has low production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model provides a quartz wafer etching and cleaning device which can complete etching and cleaning on one device and has good automation, high efficiency and good stability; it solves the technical problems existing in the prior art that the quartz wafer etching work is all manual operation, the efficiency is low, the stability is poor, and the etching and cleaning equipment is large in size.

[0005] The above technical problem of the utility model is solved by the following technical scheme: a quartz wafer etching cleaning device, comprising a working cover, an acid tank for etching and a water tank for cleaning are arranged in the working cover, a rocker mechanism is arranged between the acid tank and the water tank, the rocker mechanism comprises a base, a rocker lifting structure and a rocker rotating structure are installed on the base, a support seat is installed on the rocker lifting structure, a rocker swinging structure is installed on the support seat, the rocker swinging structure is connected with one end of the rocker, and a wafer basket is installed at the other end of the rocker. A transparent window is arranged above the working cover, through which the wafer basket is placed, and the acid tank is placed in the cover to prevent the acid from volatilizing into the air and affecting the health of the operator. After the rocker drives the wafer basket to be etched in the acid tank, it enters the water tank for cleaning. The water tank is used to clean the acid solution residue of the basket and the wafer in the basket, which can prevent the acid solution from continuing to corrode the wafer and causing excessive corrosion of the wafer, and can also prevent the acid solution on the basket from harming the hands of the operator. During the etching step, the lifting structure drives the rocker arm to move up and down, driving the wafer basket to enter or escape from the etching solution in the acid tank, and the rocker arm swing structure swings in the acid tank for etching. Then the rocker arm is driven to rotate above the water tank by the rotating structure, and the lifting structure drives the wafer basket to descend and immerse it in the water tank for cleaning. The rocker arm swing structure drives the rocker arm to swing again for cleaning, and after cleaning, the rocker arm is driven to rise again. One device completes etching and cleaning, with a simple structure, high efficiency, and high degree of automation.

[0006] Preferably, the rocker arm rotating structure comprises a driving motor mounted on a support seat, a gear set is mounted on a support plate of the support seat, and a rocker arm is fixed on the gear of the gear set.

[0007] Preferably, the gear set includes a driving gear, which is fixed on the output shaft of the driving motor, meshed with a transmission gear, meshed with a driven gear, and the driven gear is mounted on the driven gear shaft through a bearing, and the driven gear shaft is fixed on the support plate; a rocker arm mounting shaft seat is mounted on each of the driving gear and the driven gear, a rocker arm mounting shaft is formed on the rocker arm mounting shaft seat, and the rocker arm is mounted on the rocker arm mounting shaft through a bearing. The driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate through the transmission gear, so that the driving gear and the driven gear rotate in the same direction. The rocker arm is designed with two connection points on the driving gear and the driven gear through two rocker arm fixing seats, and the four points of the driving gear shaft, the driven gear shaft, and the two rocker arm shafts form a hinged four-bar structure, so that the rocker arm can swing with the rotation of the driving gear, thereby shaking the wafers in the wafer basket in the acid tank or the water tank, and fully corroding and cleaning each wafer.

[0008] Preferably, the rocker arm mounting shaft seat is fixed to the gear by screws. The screw fixing method effectively prevents the rocker arm mounting shaft seat from falling off the gear after multiple rocker arm rotations, thereby improving the stability of rocker arm rotation, increasing service life, and ensuring corrosion cleaning effect.

[0009] Preferably, the rocker arm is L-shaped, and includes a rocker arm bracket and a rocker arm rod. The rocker arm bracket is L-shaped, and slots are provided at both ends of the rocker arm bracket. The slots are provided with waist-shaped connecting holes, and the rocker arm rod is inserted into the slots. By fixing the waist-shaped connecting holes at different positions, the position of the rocker arm rod in the rocker arm bracket is adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the rocker arm, so as to meet the requirement that the acid solution completely immerses the wafers in the basket, thereby achieving the purpose of etching the wafers.

[0010] Preferably, the rocker arm lifting structure comprises a lifting frame, a cylinder housing is fixed on the lifting frame, a rotating shaft is installed below the cylinder housing, the cylinder drives the lifting frame to move up and down, and a support seat is fixed on the lifting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the rocker arm rotating structure includes a rotating motor, and the rotating motor drives the rocker arm lifting structure to rotate via a belt.

[0012] Therefore, the utility model of a quartz wafer etching and cleaning device has the following advantages: an acid tank and a water tank are provided, and a rocker mechanism is designed between the acid tank and the water tank. The rocker mechanism can transport the wafer basket from the acid tank to the water tank, thereby realizing automated etching and cleaning with high efficiency. At the same time, the rocker swing structure and the gears are fixed on the support plate, so the structure is stable and will not loosen and fall due to the rotation of the rocker.
