[0060] As Figure 2 shown, optionally, the first rear-end chamfer detection light source 542 includes a first rear-end point light source 5421 and a second rear-end point light source 5422. The first rear-end point light source 5421 is configured to irradiate the first rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100, and the second rear-end point light source 5422 is configured to irradiate the first rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200.

[0061] By setting the first rear-end chamfer detection light source 542 to include the first rear-end point light source 5421 and the second rear-end point light source 5422 with different emission angles, the first rear-end chamfer detection light source 542 can accurately irradiate the first rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100 and the first rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200, and finally improve the detection accuracy of the first rear-end edge detection camera 544 and the second rear-end edge detection camera 545 for the first rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100 and the first rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200.

[0062] The second rear-end chamfer detection light source 543 includes a third rear-end point light source 5431 and a fourth rear-end point light source 5432. The third rear-end point light source 5431 is configured to irradiate the second rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100, and the fourth rear-end point light source 5432 is configured to irradiate the second rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200.

[0063] By setting the second rear-end chamfer detection light source 543 to include the third rear-end point light source 5431 and the fourth rear-end point light source 5432 with different emission angles, the second rear-end chamfer detection light source 543 can accurately irradiate the second rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100 and the second rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200, and finally improve the detection accuracy of the first rear-end edge detection camera 544 and the second rear-end edge detection camera 545 for the second rear-end chamfer of the first silicon wafer 100 and the second rear-end chamfer of the second silicon wafer 200.

[0064] The first rear endpoint light source 5421 and the second rear endpoint light source 5422 are respectively installed on two third universal brackets located on the first side of the silicon wafer conveying line 1; the third rear endpoint light source 5431 and the fourth rear endpoint light source 5432 are respectively installed on two fourth universal brackets located on the second side of the silicon wafer conveying line 1.

[0065] The irradiation angles of the first rear endpoint light source 5421 and the second rear endpoint light source 5422 can be conveniently adjusted through the two third universal brackets; the irradiation angles of the third rear endpoint light source 5431 and the fourth rear endpoint light source 5432 can be conveniently adjusted through the two fourth universal brackets. All the universal brackets in this application are existing structures, so no detailed description is made.

[0066] Optionally, the rear edge detection light source 541 is a strip light source extending along the second direction. In this way, it can be ensured that the rear edges of the first silicon wafer 100 and the second silicon wafer 200 are both irradiated by the rear edge detection light source 541, so as to ensure the detection effects of the first rear edge detection camera 544 and the second rear edge detection camera 545 on the rear edges of the first silicon wafer 100 and the second silicon wafer 200.

[0067] To ensure the reflection effects of the front mirror 516 and the rear mirror 546, the first group of conveyor belts 11 and the second group of conveyor belts 12 in the silicon wafer conveying line 1 are both composed of multiple conveying sections butt-jointed. The front mirror 516 and the rear mirror 546 are respectively arranged at the gaps between adjacent conveying sections. The heights of the front mirror 516 and the rear mirror 546 are both lower than the conveying surface of the silicon wafer conveying line 1, which not only ensures the reflection effects of the front mirror 516 and the rear mirror 546, but also does not affect the normal conveying of the first silicon wafer 100 and the second silicon wafer 200.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application also provides a silicon wafer detection system, which includes the silicon wafer end face detection device provided in any one of the above embodiments. By setting the silicon wafer end face detection device, the silicon wafer detection system realizes the synchronous detection of the front edges and rear edges of two silicon wafers, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the descriptions in the embodiments are only exemplary. All changes made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present application should fall within the protection scope of the present application. The scope of protection required by the present application is defined by the claims described, rather than by the above descriptions in the embodiments. And, the embodiments mentioned in the present application are not limited to being implemented individually, and some embodiments can also be implemented in combination.
