[0041] The embodiments of the present application disclose an efficient cleaning device.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of an efficient cleaning device provided in the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0043] A cleaning tank 1, a swing rod 3, a bracket 2, a swing driver 6, and a linear driver 5.

[0044] A liquid medicine cavity 11 for containing cleaning liquid medicine is provided in the cleaning tank 1. An opening communicating with the liquid medicine cavity 11 is provided on the top of the cleaning tank 1 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the substrate wafer 7. In order to supplement or discharge the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine cavity 11, corresponding liquid replenishing ports and liquid discharging ports can be further provided on the cleaning tank 1, and specific limitations are not made.

[0045] The bracket 2 is movably installed in the liquid medicine cavity 11.

[0046] A plurality of fixtures 4 for fixing the substrate wafer 7 are provided on the first surface of the swing rod 3. A rotating shaft (not shown in the figure) is provided at the center of the second surface of the swing rod 3 opposite to the first surface. The swing rod 3 is rotatably installed on the bracket 2 through the rotating shaft.

[0047] The swing driver 6 is installed on the bracket 2 and connected to the rotating shaft for driving the swing rod 3 to swing around the rotating shaft; the linear driver 5 is connected to the bracket 2 for driving the bracket 2 to move linearly in the liquid medicine cavity 11. This linear motion is a motion along the horizontal linear direction. With the front facing the front surface of the fixture 4, the swing driver 6 also drives the swing rod 3 to swing left and right around the rotating shaft, and the linear driver 5 can drive the bracket 2 to move linearly left and right.

[0048] The efficient cleaning device designed in the present application drives the swing rod 3 to swing left and right in the cleaning tank 1 through the swing driver 6, and at the same time drives the bracket 2 to move linearly in the cleaning tank 1 through the linear driver 5, so that the liquid medicine fully flushes back and forth on the substrate wafer 7 of the fixture 4 on the swing rod, and the cleaning of the substrate wafer 7 is more thorough, effectively improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

[0049] The fixture 4, the swing rod 3, and the cleaning tank 1 in the present application can all be prepared from PEEK materials.

[0050] The above is the first embodiment of an efficient cleaning device provided by the present application. The following is the second embodiment of an efficient cleaning device provided by the present application. For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 .

[0051] Based on the solution of the above first embodiment:

[0052] Furthermore, a closed installation cavity is provided inside the bracket 2, and the swing driver 6 is installed in the installation cavity to achieve an integrated installation, making the overall structure more compact.

[0053] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, preferably, there are multiple fixtures 4 to achieve the cleaning operation of multiple substrate wafers 7 at one time, improving the efficiency; the multiple fixtures 4 are distributed at stepped intervals along the length direction of the swing rod 3. The stepped interval distribution design can make the adjacent substrate wafers 7 staggered, ensuring that each substrate wafer 7 can fully contact the cleaning liquid.

[0054] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, an installation inclined surface 22 is provided on the bracket 2, the swing rod 3 is parallel to the installation inclined surface 22, and the rotating shaft is rotationally connected to the installation inclined surface 22. The swing rod 3 is integrally inclined. In this way, the required length / height of the multiple fixtures 4 distributed at stepped intervals is less than the required length / height of the multiple fixtures 4 distributed at stepped intervals when the swing rod 3 is vertically arranged, which is beneficial to optimizing the space occupation in the height direction.

[0055] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, for the structural design of the bracket 2, it is designed to include a triangular frame 21. The triangular frame 21 is provided with a through cavity. On both sides of the triangular frame 21, there are side sealing plates (not shown in the figure) for closing the through cavity. An installation cavity is formed between the two side sealing plates and the through cavity.

[0056] Furthermore, a wiring pipe (not shown in the figure) is provided at the top of the triangular frame 21 for the power line to pass through to facilitate wiring.

[0057] Furthermore, the swing driver 6 can be a rotary motor with forward and reverse functions, such as a servo motor. Taking this as an example, the output shaft of the swing driver 6 is connected to the rotating shaft through a coupling.

[0058] Furthermore, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the linear driver 5 is a lead screw slide table, and the slider 51 on the linear driver 5 is connected to the bracket 2. The linear driver 5 is fixed on the outer side wall of the cleaning tank 1 through a fixing rod 52.

[0059] Furthermore, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, in order to fix the column lining film 7, a card slot 41 for inserting the lining film 7 is provided on the jig 4.

[0060] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the jig 4 is designed as a U-shaped block structure. Correspondingly, the card slots 41 are opened at both ends of the top surface of the jig 4. Two card slots 41 are used to limit and fix the lining film 7. This design has a simple structure, saves materials, and can play a good fixing role. As for the fixing method between the jig 4 and the swing rod 3, it can be integrally formed, glued with glue, or connected and fixed through a connecting piece, and no specific limitation is made.

[0061] Working principle:

[0062] 1. The swing driver 6 drives the swing rod 3 to rotate until both sides of the swing rod 3 are parallel to both sides of the bracket 2;

[0063] 2. Manually install the lining film 7 into the jig 4 on the swing rod 3;

[0064] 3. Add cleaning liquid medicine into the cleaning tank 1;

[0065] 4. The swing driver 6 drives the swing rod 3 to swing reciprocally by 360°, so as to drive the jig 4 and the lining film 7 to swing reciprocally by 60° in the cleaning liquid medicine. At the same time, the linear driver 5 drives the bracket 2 to move left and right reciprocally to realize the cleaning operation.

[0066] The above has introduced in detail an efficient cleaning device provided by the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the embodiments of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
