Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crystal grain processing, and in particular relates to an automatic selector for defective crystal grains. Background Art

[0002] The crystal grain is the basic form of transistors, made of semiconductor materials such as silicon. It is the earliest component used in semiconductor technology and the raw material of wafers. In the production process of crystal grains, it is necessary to select the poorly processed crystal grains. The existing selection method is mainly to first use an automatic dotting device to mark the poor crystal grains, so that the poor crystal grains are attached with magnetic magnetic powder ink dots, and then the entire wafer passes through the magnet area. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet to the magnetic powder ink dots, the poor crystal grains in the corresponding wafer can be attracted to the magnet, and the automatic selection of the poor crystal grains can be realized. However, in actual applications, the magnet is usually a fixed structure, which is not convenient for convenient disassembly and replacement when its coverage range is smaller than the wafer, and it is not convenient to automatically, promptly and effectively remove and collect the poor crystal grains attracted by the magnet. It often requires manual removal, which is inconvenient, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is not conducive to the selection operation, and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

An inverted L-shaped support is fixed on the left and right sides of the lifting plate, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected horizontally on the inner sides of the vertical parts of the two supports, and an electromagnet is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods, and a second electric push rod is fixedly provided on the bottom ends of the vertical parts of the two supports, and the telescopic ends of the two second electric push rods are relatively arranged and fixedly connected with a cross plate, and a brush and a scraper are fixedly provided on the top of the cross plate in sequence from one side close to the corresponding second electric push rod to the other side, and the brush and the scraper can both contact the bottom of the electromagnet.

[0005] Preferably, the mounting block is compatible with the support box.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting rod is adapted to the corresponding through hole and blind hole.

[0008] Preferably, the length of the brush and the scraper in the front-to-back direction is greater than the length of the electromagnet in the front-to-back direction.

[0009] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that during the selection operation, the conveyor belt can drive the marked wafers to pass under the electromagnet. At this time, the electromagnet is energized to have magnetic attraction, so that the marked bad magnetic grains in the passing wafers can be sucked to the bottom of the electromagnet, realizing the automatic suction and selection of bad grains. After a period of time, the conveying of the conveyor belt can be suspended, and the electromagnet can be automatically cleaned, specifically: the motor is running, driving the rotating shaft and the support box to rotate 180 degrees as a whole, so that the electromagnet can be turned upward, and the material box is located below the electromagnet.

After that, the horizontal plate and the blocking plate are reset, and the motor is activated again, driving the rotating shaft and the support box to reverse 180 degrees, so that the electromagnet can be turned down again, and then the electromagnet is energized to continue the selection operation;

[0010] When the material box is fully loaded or the size of the electromagnet is not appropriate, the hydraulic cylinder can be operated when the machine is stopped and the electromagnet is clean, so that its piston rod contracts and drives the limit plate to move up until the limit rod is pulled out of the corresponding through hole, and then the mounting block is pulled out, and the original material box can be disassembled as a whole. Then, take another empty material box or a material box with an electromagnet of an appropriate size, first plug the mounting block on it into the support box, and then operate the hydraulic cylinder to extend its piston rod, drive the limit plate down until it presses against the top of the support box, so that the limit rod can pass through the corresponding through hole and plug into the corresponding blind hole, plug and fix the mounting block, and complete the installation and fixation of the new material box, and the installation is stable and does not affect subsequent use. In summary, the automatic removal and collection of the absorbed bad grains and the convenient disassembly and replacement of the electromagnet can be realized, which is simple to operate, saves time and effort, and is more conducive to the selection operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0019] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic picker for defective crystal grains includes a conveyor belt 1 conveying in the front-back direction, a motor 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the conveyor belt 1, the output shaft of the motor 2 faces the direction of the conveyor belt 1 and is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 3, and a support box 4 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the rotating shaft 3. A hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly mounted on the outer top of the support box 4, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 5 faces downward and is fixedly connected to a limit plate 6, a plurality of limit rods 7 uniformly distributed in a rectangular array are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limit plate 6, a through hole 8 is opened on the top of the support box 4 corresponding to the limit rod 7, and the side of the support box 4 away from the rotating shaft 3 is open. A material box 9 is provided above the conveyor belt 1. An inverted L-shaped support 10 is fixed on the outer top of the material box 9. A mounting block 11 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the horizontal part of the support 10. The mounting block 11 is inserted into the support box 4 and a blind hole 12 is opened at the position corresponding to the through hole 8 on the top of the support box 4. The limit plate 6 abuts on the top of the support box 4. The limit rod 7 passes through the corresponding through hole 8 and is inserted in the corresponding blind hole 12. The bottom of the material box 9 is open and abuts against a blocking plate 13. A first electric push rod 14 is fixed horizontally along the front-to-back direction on the rear side of the material box 9. The telescopic end of the first electric push rod 14 faces the rear side and is fixedly connected to an L-shaped support plate 15. The horizontal part of the support plate 15 faces forward and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the blocking plate 13. Inverted L-shaped supports 16 are fixed on the left and right sides of the material box 9. Connecting rods 17 are fixedly connected horizontally to the inner sides of the vertical parts of the two supports 16. An electromagnet 18 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 17. A second electric push rod 19 is horizontally fixed on the bottom end of the vertical part of the two supports 16. The telescopic ends of the two second electric push rods 19 are arranged opposite to each other and fixedly connected with a horizontal plate 20. A brush 21 and a scraper 22 are fixed on the top of the horizontal plate 20 in sequence from one side close to the corresponding second electric push rod 19 to the other side. The brush 21 and the scraper 22 can both contact the bottom of the electromagnet 18.

[0020] During the selection operation, the conveyor belt 1 can drive the marked wafers to pass under the electromagnet 18. At this time, the electromagnet 18 is energized and has magnetic attraction, so that the marked magnetic defective grains in the passing wafers can be sucked to the bottom of the electromagnet 18, and the defective grains can be automatically sucked and selected. After a period of time, the conveying of the conveyor belt 1 can be suspended, and the electromagnet 18 can be automatically cleaned. Specifically, the motor 2 runs, driving the rotating shaft 3 and the support box 4 to rotate 180 degrees as a whole, so that the electromagnet 18 can be turned up, and the material box 9 is located below the electromagnet 18. Then, the electromagnet 18 is powered off, and the first electric push rod 14 runs, and its telescopic end extends, driving the blocking plate 13 away from the material box 9, so that the top of the material box 9 is now open. Next, the telescopic ends of the two second electric push rods 19 are alternately extended and retracted, which can drive the two sets of horizontal plates 20 and the brushes 21 and scrapers 22 on the horizontal plates 20 to alternately scrape and clean the top of the electromagnet 18 multiple times.

After that, the horizontal plate 20 and the blocking plate 13 are reset, and the motor 2 is activated again, driving the rotating shaft 3 and the support box 4 to reverse 180 degrees, so that the electromagnet 18 can be turned down again, and then the electromagnet 18 is energized to continue the selection operation;

[0021] When the material box 9 is fully loaded or the size of the electromagnet 18 is not appropriate, the hydraulic cylinder 5 can be operated under the state of stopping and the electromagnet 18 is clean, so that its piston rod is contracted, and the limit plate 6 is driven to move up, until the limit rod 7 is pulled out from the corresponding through hole 8, and then the mounting block 11 is pulled out, and the original material box 9 can be disassembled as a whole. Then, another empty material box 9 or a material box 9 with an electromagnet 18 of an appropriate size is taken, and the mounting block 11 on it is first inserted into the support box 4, and then the hydraulic cylinder 5 is operated to extend its piston rod, and the limit plate 6 is driven to move down until it presses against the top of the support box 4, so that the limit rod 7 can pass through the corresponding through hole 8 and be inserted into the corresponding blind hole 12, and the mounting block 11 is inserted and fixed, that is, the installation and fixation of the new material box 9 is completed, and the installation is stable and does not affect the subsequent use. In summary, the automatic removal and collection of the sucked defective grains and the convenient disassembly and replacement of the electromagnet 18 can be realized, which is easy to operate, saves time and effort, and is more conducive to the selection operation. The conveyor belt 1, the motor 2, the hydraulic cylinder 5, the first electric push rod 14, the electromagnet 18, and the second electric push rod 19 can all adopt the existing technology. The motor 2 can specifically adopt the existing stepping motor with a brake function to cooperate with the corresponding angle of rotation and position locking after rotation.

[0022] In this embodiment, the mounting block 11 is matched with the supporting box 4 to ensure that the mounting block 11 is smoothly plugged and installed in place.

[0023] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 7 is matched with the corresponding through hole 8 and blind hole 12 to ensure that the limiting rod 7 is smoothly inserted and installed in place.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner side of the material box 9 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electromagnet 18 to ensure that the material box 9 has enough space to receive the defective grains sucked by the electromagnet 18 and prevent the defective grains from falling to the outside of the material box 9 .

[0025] In this embodiment, the length of the brush 21 and the scraper 22 in the front-to-back direction is greater than the length of the electromagnet 18 in the front-to-back direction, so that the brush 21 and the scraper 22 have sufficient length to scrape and clean the electromagnet to ensure the treatment effect.
