[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a silicon wafer cleaning machine, including a cleaning tank 1, the cleaning tank 1 is used to clean silicon wafers, which is a prior art and will not be explained in detail here. A cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged at the front end of the cleaning tank 1; the cleaning mechanism 2 includes a support seat 203, the front end of the support seat 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1, the support seat 203 is L-shaped, and plays a supporting and connecting role, the inner wall of the support seat 203 is rotatably connected with a rotating column 202, the rear end of the rotating column 202 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 206, the outer wall of the fixed plate 206 is rotatably connected with a connecting plate 207, and the fixed plate 206 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the rotating column 202, and the connecting plate 207 is connected to the fixed plate 206. The plate 207 will also move accordingly. The outer wall of the connecting plate 207 is rotatably connected to the scraper 205. The movement of the connecting plate 207 drives the scraper 205 to move upward, thereby achieving the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 is plugged with a collecting tank 204. The collecting tank 204 is used to collect the precipitated impurities cleaned by the scraper 205, and the collecting tank 204 can be disassembled and cleaned as a whole. The inner wall of the collecting tank 204 is elastically connected to the movable plate 209 through the connecting spring 208. A block is set at the front end of the movable plate 209, and the block serves to facilitate movement. The top of the scraper 205 is provided with a collecting mechanism 3, and the collecting mechanism 3 can collect the precipitate at the bottom and then take it out together.
[0033] Reference Figure 3-Figure 5 The outer wall of the scraper 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The outer wall of the scraper 205 is set with an inclined surface. The inclined surface can scrape off the sediment on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and discharge it through the inclined surface. The length of the movable plate 209 is greater than the rotating column 202. When the movable plate 209 is moved to retract into the inner wall of the collecting tank 204, the collecting tank 204 can be taken out at this time. The outer wall of the rotating column 202 is fixedly connected with a rotating plate 201, and the movement of the rotating column 202 is controlled by the rotation of the rotating plate 201. One end of the connecting spring 208 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 209, and the other end of the connecting spring 208 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collecting tank 204.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The collecting mechanism 3 includes a filter plate 301, and a socket 303 is fixed on the outer wall of the filter plate 301. The movement trajectories of the two are the same. The socket 303 and the outer wall of the filter plate 301 are both plugged into the inner wall of the scraper 205. The filter plate 301 is used to collect sediment. When there is too much sediment, the filter plate 301 can be taken out for cleaning. The top of the scraper 205 is fixedly connected with a fixed seat 302, and the inner wall of the fixed seat 302 is elastically connected with a pin 305 through a limit spring 304.

The outer wall of the pin 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing seat 302. The elasticity of the limit spring 304 enables the pin 305 to have a reset and limit function. The outer wall of the pin 305 is plugged into the inner wall of the socket 303. The outer wall of the socket 303 is provided with a slot hole that matches the pin 305, and the pin 305 is plugged into the slot hole.
[0036] Working principle: When relevant personnel need to clean the silicon wafers and there is sediment attached to the inside of the cleaning tank 1, they can manually rotate the rotating plate 201, so that the rotating plate 201 drives the rotating column 202 to rotate, and then the rotating column 202 drives the fixed plate 206 and the connecting plate 207 to move accordingly, so that the scraper 205 moves upward, and when the scraper 205 moves upward, the scraper 205 will scrape off the sediment on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and after the scraper 205 scrapes off the sediment, it will follow the inclined surface of the scraper 205 into the inner wall of the collecting tank 204 for collection. When the sediment in the collecting tank 204 is collected to a certain extent, the movable plate 209 can be moved and then the collecting tank 204 can be moved upward for cleaning. The operation is simple and convenient, and manual entry into the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 for cleaning is avoided.
[0037] When the scraper 205 moves to the highest point, the filter plate 301 will also be at the highest point, and the precipitated impurities will accumulate on the filter plate 301. At this time, the latch 305 can be manually moved to release the limit between the latch 305 and the socket 303, and then the filter plate 301 can be moved upward to separate from the scraper 205, and then the filter plate 301 can be pulled out, so that the precipitated impurities accumulated inside the cleaning tank 1 can be taken out together, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
