[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] Example:

[0025] See attached Figures 1-4 The embodiment of the invention is an efficient coating tray, comprising an external tray 1, a plurality of placement slots 2 are evenly arranged on the top of the external tray 1. In the present embodiment, 9 placement slots 2 are arranged on the top of the external tray 1 in a 3×3 arrangement. Receiving pads 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the placement slots 2. An internal tray 5 is arranged in the placement slots 2. The distance between the two receiving pads 3 is less than the length of the internal tray 5, so as to realize the reception of the internal tray 5. A No. 1 magnet 4 is arranged on the receiving pad 3. A No. 2 magnet 6 is arranged on both sides of the bottom of the internal tray 5. The magnetic properties of the No. 1 magnet 4 and the No. 2 magnet 6 are opposite, so as to realize the stable installation and rapid replacement of the internal tray 5, and improve the production efficiency and flexibility.

[0026] Among them, the external tray 1 and the internal tray 5 are both made of ceramic materials, which not only ensures high temperature resistance but also reduces the overall weight.

[0027] See attached Figure 2 and Figure 3, a card slot 7 is provided on the built-in tray 5. The card slot 7 is a stepped structure, which sequentially includes a first step 701 and a second step 702 from top to bottom. The side length of the first step 701 is greater than that of the second step 702, facilitating the placement and positioning of the silicon wafer, improving the coating accuracy. Lifting handles 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the built-in tray 5, facilitating the operator to move the built-in tray 5.

[0028] Refer to the appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a jacking mechanism is arranged inside the external tray 1. The jacking mechanism includes jacking components 8 with the same number as the placement slots 2. That is, in this embodiment, 9 jacking components 8 are provided. The jacking component 8 includes two shelf plates 802 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the external tray 1. Around the same placement slot 2, the two receiving pads 3 and the two shelf plates 802 are vertically arranged. A guide rod 803 is fixedly installed between the two shelf plates 802. A bidirectional screw 804 is rotatably installed between the two shelf plates 802. Moving seats 805 are threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional screw 804, and the guide rod 803 passes through the moving seats 805 on both sides. The jacking component 8 further includes a jacking plate 806 arranged in the placement slot 2. The top of the jacking plate 806 contacts the silicon wafer. Connecting seats 807 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the jacking plate 806. A strut 808 is movably connected between the moving seat 805 and the connecting seat 807 arranged on the same side. During the rotation of the bidirectional screw 804, the moving seats 805 on both sides move towards each other, and the upward movement of the jacking plate 806 is realized under the connection action of the strut 808, realizing the jacking operation of the silicon wafer.

[0029] The adjacent two coaxial bidirectional screws 804 are fixedly connected. That is, in this embodiment, the 9 bidirectional screws 804 actually form three groups, and at the same time, the adjacent two are driven by a pulley and a belt, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the 9 bidirectional screws 804. A stepper motor 801 is fixedly installed on one of the shelf plates 802, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 801 is connected to the bidirectional screw 804. When in use, the stepper motor 801 is turned on to realize the synchronous rotation of the 9 bidirectional screws 804.

[0030] The present utility model realizes the stable placement of the silicon wafer through the magnetic attraction connection between the external tray 1 and the built-in tray 5. At the same time, the silicon wafers in the built-in tray 5 can be synchronously ejected through the jacking mechanism in the external tray 1 under the drive of the stepper motor 801, facilitating the automatic removal and operation of the silicon wafers.

[0031] Finally: The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
