[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits, and its original material is silicon. High-purity polycrystalline silicon is dissolved and mixed with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing, and slicing, the silicon crystal rod forms a silicon wafer, that is, a wafer. The transportation of wafers requires the use of vacuum suction cups. The existing vacuum suction cups can only adapt to one size. In order to meet market demand and adapt to both four-inch and six-inch wafers, a vacuum suction cup suitable for four-inch and six-inch wafers is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a vacuum suction cup suitable for four-inch and six-inch wafers, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A vacuum suction cup suitable for four-inch and six-inch wafers comprises a column and a suction cup shell, wherein a rolling disc is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the column, a bottom cavity is fixedly mounted on the top of the suction cup shell, a raised edge is arranged on the top of the bottom cavity, a groove is arranged on the outer surface of the rolling disc, the groove is matched with the raised edge, an inner cavity is arranged at the bottom of the rolling disc, four air grooves are arranged at the bottom of the rolling disc near the inner cavity, four six-inch suction holes and four-inch suction holes are arranged through the suction cup shell, a sealing gasket is arranged on the bottom surface of the rolling disc, the sealing gasket is overlapped with the bottom surface of the bottom cavity, and a raised pattern is arranged on the bottom of the suction cup shell.

[0006] Preferably, the four six-inch suction holes correspond to the positions of the air slots.

[0007] Preferably, the four four-inch suction holes correspond to the positions of the inner cavity.

[0008] Preferably, a vacuum pump connection port is provided on one side wall of the column, a through hole is provided in the inner cavity, and the through hole is in communication with the vacuum pump connection port.

[0009] Preferably, second nameplates are fixedly mounted at four locations on the top surface of the rolling disk, and the four second nameplates correspond to the positions of the air grooves.

[0010] Preferably, four first nameplates are equidistantly and fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the suction cup shell, and the four first nameplates correspond to the positions of the six-inch suction holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: by rotating the suction cup shell, the positions of the first nameplate and the second nameplate are made to correspond, thereby achieving the correspondence between the air groove and the six-inch suction hole. At this time, turning on the vacuum pump assembly can generate adsorption force at the bottom of the six-inch suction hole and the four-inch suction hole, which is used to adsorb the six-inch wafer. The suction cup shell is rotated to misalign the first nameplate and the second nameplate, and the bottom air groove and the six-inch suction hole are misaligned, so that the four six-inch suction holes at the bottom lose adsorption force, while the four internal four-inch suction holes still have adsorption force, thereby achieving adsorption of the four-inch wafer, and the conversion operation is convenient.
