DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0022] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following will detail this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a protection tooling for processing single-crystal silicon wafers. The single-crystal silicon wafer body 1 is cylindrical. A soft tape 2 is wrapped around the outer cylindrical surface of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1. A rubber outer ring 3 is provided around the middle of the soft tape 2. A grinding disc 5 is laid in the processing pool 4. A rack 401 is installed around the inner wall of the processing pool 4. A driver 6 is installed at the upper end of the middle of the grinding disc 5. A plurality of evenly distributed planet wheels 8 are placed in the processing pool 4 at the upper end of the grinding disc 5. A gear disc 7 is installed at the output end of the driver 6. First placement grooves 9 and second placement grooves 10 are respectively dug on the planet wheels 8. Single-crystal silicon wafer bodies 1 with matching specifications are respectively placed in the first placement groove 9 and the second placement groove 10. The bottom of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1 abuts against the grinding disc 5. The upper end of the grinding disc 5 is a polishing layer.

[0024] Furthermore, a soft tape 2 is wrapped around the outer cylindrical surface of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1, and a rubber outer ring 3 is provided around the middle of the soft tape 2, forming a protection on the outer cylindrical surface of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1. When the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1 is placed in the planet wheel 8 and enters the processing pool 4 for grinding processing, the cylindrical surface of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1 is effectively protected. The width of the soft tape 2 is smaller than the height of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1, which is beneficial to the grinding of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1, improves the processing quality of the single-crystal silicon wafer body 1, can meet the satisfactory requirements of customers, avoids secondary processing, and reduces production costs.

[0025] Furthermore, the diameter specifications of the first placement groove 9 and the second placement groove 10 are different. Single-crystal silicon wafer bodies 1 with matching specifications are respectively placed in the first placement groove 9 and the second placement groove 10. Different specifications of single-crystal silicon wafer bodies 1 can be placed in the corresponding first placement groove 9 or second placement groove 10 on the planet wheel 8 for grinding processing, further improving the processing efficiency.

[0026] The working principle is as follows:

[0027] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, after the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 is cut, the cutting surface is relatively rough and needs to be ground. To protect the cylindrical surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 from damage, the soft tape 2 is wrapped and mounted around the outer cylindrical surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1. A rubber outer ring 3 is provided in the middle of the soft tape 2 and placed in the corresponding first placement groove 9 or the second placement groove 10 on the planetary wheel 8. When the drive 6 drives the grinding disc 6 to rotate, the multiple planetary wheels 8 in the processing pool 4 rotate accordingly. The rack 401 is rotationally connected to the outer circumference of the planetary wheel 8 through gear meshing. The outer circumference of the planetary wheel 8 is rotationally connected to the toothed disc 7 through gear meshing, forming a gear linkage. The bottom of the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 abuts against the grinding disc 5, and the upper end of the grinding disc is a polishing layer. The monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 is ground. Under the shielding and protection of the soft tape 2 and the rubber outer ring 3, whether the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 rotates on its own or rotates with the machine, the cylindrical surface is in a protected state. After grinding, the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 is taken out, and at the same time, the soft tape 2 on the outer cylindrical surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer body 1 is removed, and it can be cleaned and packaged, improving the processing quality of the monocrystalline silicon wafer and meeting the satisfactory requirements of customers.
