[0034] The following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] AsFigures 1 to 4 A spray device applicable to a wafer cleaning device, including an installation base. The distinctive feature lies in that: a vertical guiding component 2 is provided on the installation base, which can realize the adjustment of the installation height of the subsequent spray component 3. At the same time, a number of limit bearing components are provided on the vertical guiding component 2, and a spray component 3 is provided on the limit bearing components. In this way, the spray component 3 can be stably positioned, and the height and orientation of the corresponding spray component 3 can be adjusted as needed, having a better spray coverage area. Specifically, the spray component 3 adopted in the present utility model is a spray guiding block, and a spray cavity (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the spray guiding block for guiding the flow of liquids such as water or cleaning liquid. And, in order to smoothly dock with the liquid supply pipeline, a connection hole 4 communicating with the spray cavity is provided at the tail end of the spray cavity.

Furthermore, in order to achieve better limitation, a restraint hole 6 is provided on the spray guiding block, and the limit bearing component is connected to the restraint hole 6.

[0036] Combined with a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the adopted installation base includes a base disk 1. Limit holes are provided on the base disk 1, and the lower end of the vertical guiding component 2 is connected to the limit holes. At the same time, a number of installation holes 7 are provided on the base disk 1, and installation screws are provided in the installation holes 7. In this way, the base disk 1 can be installed in the corresponding working area inside the cleaning device to achieve stable connection at the lower end. During implementation, the adopted limit holes are threaded holes, and the lower end of the vertical guiding component 2 is threadedly connected to the limit holes, facilitating convenient connection. Of course, in order to achieve uniform connection, the installation holes 7 are annularly distributed at equal distances from each other. For certain needs, a cushion block 8 can be provided below the base disk 1, and the base disk 1 and the cushion block 8 are connected by installation screws. In this way, the initial height can be increased, enabling the spray component 3 to have a better spray coverage range.

[0037] Looking further, the vertical guiding component 2 is a vertical guiding rod, and the cross-section of the vertical guiding rod is elliptical. In this way, it has better vertical height guiding and is convenient for the combination of the limit bearing components.

Moreover, an adjustment hole 13 is arranged on the other side of the limit clamping block 9, and an adjustment assembly 14 is arranged on the limit clamping block 9. One end of the adjustment assembly 14 passes through the restraint hole 6 of the spray guide block and is connected to the limit clamping block 9. In this way, the final combination and locking of the spray guide block can be achieved by using the adjustment assembly 14. Specifically, the adopted adjustment assembly 14 includes a screw rod. A knob extends from one end of the screw rod. The adjustment hole 13 is a threaded hole, and the other end of the screw rod is connected into the threaded hole. In this way, stable locking can be achieved by using thread combination.

[0041] Fix the installation base to the reserved position of the work station in the wafer cleaning equipment. Then, select a vertical guide assembly 2 with an appropriate height and connect it to the installation base.

[0042] After that, combine the limit bearing assembly with the vertical guide assembly 2 and at an appropriate height. Then, combine the spray assembly 3 with the limit bearing assembly. During this period, do not fully tighten the adjustment assembly 14. The elevation angle of the spray assembly 3 can be adjusted so that it can have a better spray coverage area and then be locked.

[0043] Subsequently, dock the liquid supply pipeline with the connection hole 4. And according to the actual needs in the follow-up, choose whether to install a spray head.

[0044] Then, provide test liquid through the liquid supply pipeline first and check whether the current spray coverage area meets the requirements. During this period, the angle, height, etc. of the spray assembly 3 can be conveniently adjusted to meet the smooth use in the follow-up.
