[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a fixture for wafer laser precision cutting, the fixture for wafer laser precision cutting includes a substrate 1, a chamber 2 installed on the top of the substrate 1, a top cover 21 installed on the top of the chamber 2, and a connecting rod 3 movably sleeved inside the chamber 2. An air pump is installed on the surface of the substrate 1 and on one side of the chamber 2, and is connected to the inside of the chamber 2 through a pipeline. This is a prior art and will not be elaborated on here. A suction cup 31 is installed on the top of the connecting rod 3, a connecting piece 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 3, and a rebound piece 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chamber 2. The connecting piece 321 and the rebound piece 33 are both arranged in a ring array and correspond to the connecting rod 3 one by one. The suction cup 31 can generate a certain negative pressure while contacting the wafer, so that the wafer is more firmly fixed on the top of the connecting rod 3, and reduce slight deviations during movement, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of cutting;

[0032] The connecting member 32 includes a sleeve 321 installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 3, and side plates 322 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sleeve 321. A telescopic rod 323 is installed inside the side plate 322. A spring 324 is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rod 323. One end of the spring 324 and the output end of the telescopic rod 323 are fixedly connected to a trapezoidal block 325. The trapezoidal block 325 is located inside the sleeve 321 and is movably connected to it. The bottom inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 325 is set, one end of the telescopic rod 323 is fixed inside the side plate 322, and its output end is fixedly connected to the trapezoidal block 325, and the two ends of the spring 324 are respectively connected to the trapezoidal block 325 and the fixed end of the telescopic rod 323 Fixed connection, through the telescopic characteristics of the telescopic rod 323, the spring 324 can be briefly squeezed or stretched, so as to facilitate the connection and cancellation of the connection with the rebound member 33. At the same time, the inside of the side plate 322 and the two sides of the sleeve 321 are provided with limit grooves for facilitating the movement of the telescopic rod 323, the spring 324, and the trapezoidal block 325, which can limit them and ensure their stability during movement. In addition, the sleeve 32 and the connecting rod 3 are both hollow, which can facilitate the operation of the vacuum pump. At the same time, a sealing ring is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the sleeve 321 to ensure that when it is connected to the rebound member 33, the vacuum pump will not draw air through it, thereby achieving the purpose of saving the vacuum pump energy. The sealing ring is not shown in the figure.

[0033] An isolation plate 22 is installed inside the chamber 2, and the isolation plate 22 is located at the bottom of the top cover 21. The connecting rod 3 is located inside the isolation plate 22 and is movably connected to it. The connecting piece 32 is located at the bottom of the isolation plate 22. The setting of the isolation plate 22 can ensure the sealing of the inside of the chamber 2, and at the same time limit the connecting rod 3 and maintain its stability when it is raised or lowered.

[0034] The rebound member 33 includes a fixed column 331 fixed inside the chamber 2, and a rebound ring 332 is movably sleeved on the surface of the fixed column 331. An arc plate 333 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 331. The setting of the arc plate 333 can limit the rebound ring 332 to prevent it from being disconnected from the fixed column 331, and at the same time facilitate the movement of the trapezoidal block 325. The inclined surface at the bottom of the trapezoidal block 325 and the arc of the arc plate 333 can prevent the connecting member 32 and the rebound member 33 from getting stuck during the connection process, and facilitate the connection between the two.

[0035] The outer diameters of the fixed column 331, the rebound ring 332, and the arc plate 333 are consistent, and a positioning member 4 is provided on the top of the top cover 21. Figure 5 As shown, the outer surface of the fixing column 331 and the bottom of the rebound ring 332 are arc-shaped, and the top and bottom of the rebound ring 332 are also arc-shaped, which can facilitate the movement of the trapezoidal block 325.

[0036] The positioning member 4 includes a first positioning plate 41 and a second positioning plate 42 movably connected to the top of the top cover 21, and a protrusion 43 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42;

[0037] A groove 44 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting rod 3 and at the top of the sleeve 321. The protrusion 43 is located inside the groove 44 and is movably connected thereto. This facilitates the positioning of the connecting rod 3 and prevents it from falling due to the weight of the wafer or its own weight. The groove 44 is located at the top of the top cover 21.

[0038] The first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 are connected to two sides thereof with a sliding rod 45 and a bidirectional bolt 46 respectively;

[0039] The first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 are movably connected with the slide bar 45, and the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 are threadedly connected with the bidirectional bolt 46;

[0040] One end of the bidirectional bolt 46 is rotatably connected to a limit block 47 on one side of the second positioning plate 42. The bottom of the limit block 47 is fixedly connected to the top cover 21. The diameters of both ends of the sliding rod 45 are larger than the diameter of the sliding rod 45 itself, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the top cover 21, which can limit the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 to prevent the two from sliding too much and causing the three to separate. At the same time, it can provide a supporting force for the sliding rod 45. The first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 are both arc-shaped, which can facilitate the limitation of the connecting rod 3.

[0041] Sliders 48 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42. A chute 49 is opened at the top of the top cover 21. The sliders 48 are located inside the chute 49 and are movably connected thereto, which can ensure the stability of the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 during movement, and each group of positioning members 4 corresponds to each group of connecting rods 3 one by one.

[0042] During the use process, the wafer to be cut can be placed with the middle connecting rod 3 as the center point, and the unused connecting rods 3 can be pressed according to the specifications of the wafer or regular wafers such as hexagons. Before pressing the connecting rod 3, the bidirectional bolt 46 can be rotated reversely to drive the first positioning plate 41 and the second positioning plate 42 to move away from each other, and the convex blocks 43 on the inner sides of the two are disconnected from the grooves 44 on the outer surface of the connecting rod 3, so that the positioning of the connecting rod 3 can be cancelled;

[0043] Subsequently, pressure is applied to the unused connecting rod 3 to drive the sleeve 321 to move towards the fixed column 331. During this process, the trapezoidal block 325 inside the sleeve 321 will first contact the arc-shaped plate 333. When the inclined surface at the bottom of the trapezoidal block 3255 contacts the arc surface on the surface of the arc-shaped plate 333, the trapezoidal block 325 will move towards the outside of the sleeve 321, and at the same time, the telescopic rod 323 is squeezed to perform a retraction operation, and the spring 324 is squeezed as the telescopic rod 323 moves until one end of the trapezoidal block 325 is completely located inside the limit grooves on both sides of the sleeve 321, and the sleeve 321 can be completely sleeved on the outside of the fixed column 331;

[0044] At the same time, when the sleeve 321 continues to descend, the trapezoidal block 325 will slowly move to the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 333. When the trapezoidal block 325 is located at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 333, the spring 324 will restore its deformation, and drive the telescopic rod 323 and the trapezoidal block 325 to move towards the outer surface of the fixed column 331 through the sleeve 321 until one end of the trapezoidal block 325 is located on the outer surface of the fixed column 331. At this time, the trapezoidal block 325 is still located at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 333, and the adjustment of the connecting rod 3 can be completed, further saving the energy of the air pump, thereby reducing the time waste and downtime during work;

[0045] When fixing a wafer of a larger size, the connecting rod 3 fixed by the connecting piece 32 and the rebound piece 33 is pressed again to repeat the above operation, and the trapezoidal clamping block 325 is located at the bottom of the rebound ring 332. Since both sides of the rebound ring 332 are arc-shaped, and the outer diameters of the fixed column 331, the rebound ring 332, and the arc plate 333 are consistent, the trapezoidal clamping block 325 can make the rebound ring 332 contact with the arc plate 333 and make the outer diameters of the two fit together. In this way, the trapezoidal clamping block 325 can directly cancel the connection with the fixed column 331, and then the connecting rod 3 can be positioned by the positioning piece 4. In this way, the number of connecting rods 3 in use can be flexibly adjusted, and the flexibility of the connecting rod 3 is further improved.

[0046] After the unused number of connecting rods 3 is adjusted, the vacuum pump is started to extract the air inside the chamber 2 through the pipe, so that a negative pressure is formed inside the chamber 2, and the air inside the connecting rod 3 is extracted through the sleeve 321, so that the suction cup 31 firmly adsorbs the wafer on its surface. At the same time, the isolation plate 22 can layer the inside of the chamber 2 to prevent more air from flowing, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing wafers of different specifications, further solving the problem that the prior art can only fix wafers of specified specifications and has great limitations.

[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
