[0027] In the present invention, when in use, the wafer 13 is first placed in the center on the top of the storage plate 12, and then the user turns on the four electric push rods 4 at the same time. The electric push rods 4 will drive the four positioning plates 5 to approach the wafer 13 along the mounting plate 3 until the four positioning plates 5 are in contact with the edge of the wafer 13, thereby achieving the positioning of the wafer 13. In this process, the movement of the positioning plate 5 will drive the toothed plate 8 to move. Since the toothed plate 8 is meshed with the gear 7, the gear 7 will rotate and drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating rod 6, the rotating disk 9 will be driven to rotate, and the rotating disk 9 will rotate. After that, it will drive the cleaning block 11 to slide over the top and bottom of the wafer 13.
