[0021] The following is a further detailed description of a quartz wafer surface cleaning device of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a quartz wafer surface cleaning device comprises a cleaning box 1 and a support 2 installed above the cleaning box 1. The support 2 is provided with a fixture conveying slot 21, a fixture conveying device is installed on the support 2, and a brushing device is installed on the lower end surfaces of the two long sides of the support 2.

[0023] A cleaning frame 4 is installed in the cleaning box 1. The fixture conveying device is pushed into the cleaning box 1 through the fixture conveying groove 21. At least one ultrasonic transducer 5 is installed on the outer end surface of the bottom of the cleaning frame 4. A support rod 6 is also installed around and at the center of the outer end surface of the bottom. The upper end of the frame wall of the cleaning frame 4 is vertically folded outward to form a limit fold 41. The bottom surface of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a sleeve rod 7 matching the number of the support rods 6, and a plug interface 71 is provided on it. The support rod 6 is inserted into the plug interface 71 and can move freely in the plug interface 71. A spring 8 is set on the outer circle of the support rod 6 and the sleeve rod 7. Due to the action of the spring 8, the bottom surface of the support rod 6 cannot contact the bottom of the plug interface 71. A step 101 is provided on the upper end surface of the cleaning box 1, and the limit fold 41 is installed on the step 101. The step wall of the step 101 and the side wall of the limit fold 41 leave a certain gap. When the ultrasonic transducer 5 is working, the cleaning frame 4 will shake due to the interaction between the spring 8, the support rod 6 and the sleeve rod 7, because a gap is left between the step wall of the step 101 and the side wall of the limiting fold 41 so that the shaking of the cleaning frame 4 is not restricted.

[0024] The fixture conveying device includes a fixture 9, a slide bar 10, a guide rail 11, a mobile motor 12, and a wafer mold clamp 13. A mobile motor mounting frame 1201 is fixedly mounted on the short side of the bracket 2, the mobile motor 12 is fixedly mounted on the mobile motor mounting frame 1201, a push block 1202 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the mobile motor 12, and the push block 1202 is fixedly connected to the back cover 902. The guide rail 11 is mounted on the inner wall of the motor mounting frame 1201, the slide bar 10 is slidably connected to the guide rail 11, the fixture 9 is fixed on the slide bar 10, and the wafer mold clamp 13 is clamped in the fixture 9.

[0025] The fixture 9 is a frame structure, including a front cover 901 and a rear cover 902, which are hinged by hinges. The rear cover 902 is fixed on the slide bar 10, and the front cover 901 and the rear cover 902 are fastened by the buckle 903. A placement groove 904 is provided on the inner frame wall of the rear cover 902, and the wafer mold clamp 13 is placed in this groove, and the height of the groove wall of the placement groove 904 is consistent with the height of the wafer mold clamp 13. The front cover 901 is opened by the buckle 903, and the wafer mold clamp 13 with the quartz wafer 15 is placed in the placement groove 904, and then the front cover 901 is fastened. When the motor of the mobile motor mounting frame 1201 is working, it pushes the push block 1202 downward to move downward, and the push block 1202 further drives the slide bar 10 to move, and the fixture 9 drives the wafer mold clamp 13 to pass through the fixture conveying groove 21 into the cleaning box 1.

[0026] The scrubbing device includes a brush 14 and a telescopic motor 3. The brush 4 is cylindrical, and is provided with a brush handle 1401 at both ends thereof, and a bearing 1402 is mounted on the brush handle 1401. A rotating motor 1403 is mounted on one of the brush handles 1401 at both ends of the brush 14. The lower end surfaces of the two long sides of the bracket 2 are each mounted with a brush 14 through the telescopic motor 3. The telescopic rod of the telescopic motor 3 is mounted on the bearing 1402.

[0027] The bristles of the hairbrush 14 can scrub the wafer mold clamp 13. The hairbrush 14 is a super soft cleaning brush, so that when the quartz crystal 15 surfaces are scrubbed, the wafer surface can not be damaged.

[0028] When cleaning the quartz wafer 15, first install the wafer mold clamp 13 with the quartz wafer 15 in the fixture 9, start the moving motor 12 to push the fixture 9 into the cleaning frame 4. Start the ultrasonic transducer 5 to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the quartz wafer 15. Then turn off the ultrasonic transducer 5, start the telescopic motor 3 to push the brush into the cleaning frame 4, and at the same time, let the brush 14 start to rotate through the rotating motor 1403, start the moving motor 12 to slowly raise the fixture 9, and during the process of the fixture 9 rising, the brush 4 brushes the quartz wafer 15 row by row.

[0029] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5This is a picture showing the effect of a quartz wafer being cleaned by the utility model. As shown in the picture, the surface of the quartz wafer has been cleaned. Figure 6 In the image, the surface of the quartz wafer clearly shows black spots.
