[0034] See also Figure 1The planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding provided by the embodiment of the utility model is applied to a wafer grinding device (not shown) for double-sided grinding of wafers, especially double-sided grinding of silicon carbide wafers. The wafer grinding device includes an upper grinding disc (not shown), a lower grinding disc (not shown) and the above-mentioned planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding. Among them, the planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding is arranged between the upper grinding disc and the lower grinding disc. The use of the planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding can effectively improve the grinding efficiency and grinding effect of the wafer.
[0035] The planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding includes a planetary wheel body 100. The planetary wheel body 100 is provided with at least two wafer bearing parts 110, and the wafer bearing parts 110 are used to bear wafers. The planetary wheel body 100 is provided with a liquid guide groove 120, which is located between two adjacent wafer bearing parts 110 and is used to guide the discharge of the grinding liquid. The outer periphery of the planetary wheel body 100 is provided with external teeth for meshing with the inner gear ring of the wafer grinding device.
[0036] The planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding and the wafer grinding device can carry at least two wafers by providing at least two wafer bearing parts 110 on the planetary wheel body 100. A single planetary wheel can also perform double-sided grinding on at least two wafers at the same time, thereby improving the grinding efficiency. In addition, since a liquid guide groove 120 is provided between two adjacent wafer bearing parts 110, the grinding liquid can be quickly and effectively discharged, further improving the grinding effect of the wafer.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the liquid guiding groove 120 is S-shaped.
[0038] It should be understood that the liquid guide groove 120 is S-shaped, so that two adjacent wafer supporting parts 110 of at least two wafer supporting parts 110 are arranged on both sides of the S-shaped liquid guide groove 120. In this way, an S-shaped liquid guide groove 120 can simultaneously guide the grinding liquid of two adjacent wafers during grinding, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of guiding the grinding liquid, thereby improving the effect of double-sided grinding of the wafer.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the liquid guide groove 120 includes a first groove section 121 and a second groove section 122 disposed on the planetary wheel body 100. The first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 are both semicircular grooves, one end of the first groove section 121 is connected to one end of the second groove section 122, the first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 together form an S shape, the other end of the first groove section 121 extends to the outer periphery of the planetary wheel body 100, and the other end of the second groove section 122 extends to the outer periphery of the planetary wheel body 100.
[0040] It should be understood that the first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 are connected to each other, and the connection point can be the center of the planetary wheel body 100. The first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 together form an S-shaped liquid guide groove 120, so as to guide the grinding liquid to the outer periphery of the planetary wheel body 100 and discharge it.
[0041] In an optional embodiment, the direction of the arc-shaped opening of the first slot segment 121 is opposite to the direction of the arc-shaped opening of the second slot segment 122 .
[0042] It should be noted that the first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 are both semicircular grooves, and the direction of the arc-shaped opening of the first groove section 121 is opposite to the direction of the arc-shaped opening of the second groove section 122. That is to say, if the arc formed by the first groove section 121 is opened to the left, then the arc formed by the second groove section 122 is set to open to the right, thereby forming an S-shaped liquid guide groove 120 to improve the liquid guide efficiency and effect.
[0043] In an optional embodiment, the wafer supporting part 110 includes a first wafer supporting part 111 and a second wafer supporting part 112, and the liquid guiding groove 120 is located between the first wafer supporting part 111 and the second wafer supporting part 112. The first wafer supporting part 111 and the second wafer supporting part 112 are both circular, and the circle where the first groove section 121 is located is concentric with the circle where the first wafer supporting part 111 is located, and the circle where the second groove section 122 is located is concentric with the circle where the second wafer supporting part 112 is located.
[0044] It should be understood that the first wafer supporting part 111 and the second wafer supporting part 112 are both circular. The circle where the first slot section 121 is located is concentric with the circle where the first wafer supporting part 111 is located, and the first slot section 121 is surrounded outside the first wafer supporting part 111, that is, the radius of the circle where the first slot section 121 is located is greater than the radius of the circle where the first wafer supporting part 111 is located; similarly, the circle where the second slot section 122 is located is concentric with the circle where the second wafer supporting part 112 is located, and the second slot section 122 is surrounded outside the second wafer supporting part 112, that is, the radius of the circle where the second slot section 122 is located is greater than the radius of the circle where the second wafer supporting part 112 is located. In this way, when double-sided grinding is performed on the wafers in the first wafer supporting part 111 and the second wafer supporting part 112, the grinding liquid radiates outward from the wafer, and the first groove section 121 and the second groove section 122 can receive the grinding liquid more evenly, and guide and discharge the grinding liquid toward the outer periphery of the planetary wheel body 100, thereby improving the effect of grinding liquid discharge and improving the effect of wafer grinding.
[0045] In an optional embodiment, two first weight-reducing holes 130 are provided on the planetary wheel body 100 , and a line connecting the two first weight-reducing holes 130 passes through the center of the planetary wheel body 100 . The two first weight-reducing holes 130 are located on both sides of the liquid guiding groove 120 .
[0046] By providing the two first weight-reducing holes 130 , the weight of the portion of the planetary wheel body 100 where the wafer is not ground can be reduced.
[0047] In an optional embodiment, two second weight-reducing holes 140 are provided on the planetary body 100, the connecting line of the two second weight-reducing holes 140 passes through the center of the planetary body 100, and the two second weight-reducing holes 140 are located on both sides of the liquid guide groove 120. Among them, the two first weight-reducing holes 130 are circular, the two second weight-reducing holes 140 are fan-shaped, the two first weight-reducing holes 130 and the two second weight-reducing holes 140 correspond one to one, and in the corresponding first weight-reducing holes 130 and second weight-reducing holes 140, the center of the first weight-reducing hole 130 is the same as the center of the fan-shaped second weight-reducing hole 140.
[0048] By setting the second weight-reducing hole 140, and the first weight-reducing hole 130 is circular, the second weight-reducing hole 140 is fan-shaped, and the center of the first weight-reducing hole 130 is the same as the center of the fan-shaped second weight-reducing hole 140, the weight-reducing effect of the first weight-reducing hole 130 and the second weight-reducing hole 140 on the part of the planetary wheel body 100 where the wafer is not ground is more uniform, so that the planetary wheel body 100 can rotate more smoothly.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, the wafer carrying portion 110 is a through-slot structure that is penetrated through the planetary wheel body 100 .
[0050] By setting the wafer carrying part 110 as a through slot structure penetrating the planetary wheel body 100, it is convenient to load the wafer into the wafer carrying part 110 for double-sided grinding. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the first wafer carrying part 111 and the second wafer carrying part 112 are both through slot structures penetrating the planetary wheel body 100.
[0051] Further, in an optional embodiment, the cross section of the liquid guiding groove 120 is arc-shaped, V-shaped or trapezoidal. In other words, the liquid guiding groove 120 can be an arc-shaped groove, a V-shaped groove or a trapezoidal groove, etc., so as to carry, guide and discharge the grinding liquid.
[0052] In summary, the planetary wheel 10 for wafer grinding and the wafer grinding device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can carry at least two wafers by providing at least two wafer bearing parts 110 on the planetary wheel body 100. For a single planetary wheel, at least two wafers can be double-sided ground at the same time, thereby improving the grinding efficiency. In addition, since the liquid guide groove 120 is provided between two adjacent wafer bearing parts 110, the grinding liquid can be discharged quickly and effectively, further improving the grinding effect of the wafer.
[0053] Furthermore, the S-shaped liquid guiding groove 120 can simultaneously guide the grinding liquid from two adjacent wafers during grinding, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of guiding the grinding liquid, thereby improving the effect of double-sided grinding of the wafers.
[0054] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
