[0002] As an important raw material for solar cells, silicon wafers are widely used in the production and manufacturing of solar cells, circuit boards and other products. During the production and transportation process of silicon wafers, dirt may stick to the upper and lower surfaces of the silicon wafers, which will affect the quality of the silicon wafers. Therefore, dirt detection is required on the upper and lower surfaces of the silicon wafers during silicon wafer inspection. The traditional silicon wafer dirt detection mechanism includes a detection camera, a reflection mechanism and a laser transmitter. The laser transmitter emits light to illuminate the surface of the silicon wafer, and a series of complex reflectors are used to form a reflection mechanism. After the laser is irradiated on the surface of the silicon wafer, the light path is reflected into the detection camera through the reflector. Reflection through the reflector has specific requirements for the light path, which is not convenient during the debugging process and requires a lot of manpower. In addition, the silicon wafer obtains an image through the reflection of the reflector light path. When the silicon wafer fluctuates on the conveyor line and produces a certain angle, it will affect the imaging effect of the silicon wafer and the stability is not high. Utility Model Content

The camera component 6 includes a detection camera 601, a horizontal adjustment slider 604, and a height adjustment slider 603. The detection camera 601 is slidably connected to the upper detection component 2 and the lower detection component 3 through a height adjustment block. By adjusting the vertical height of the detection camera 601, the detection field of view of the detection camera 601 can be changed, thereby adapting to the detection of silicon wafers 5 of different specifications.

[0026] The working principle of the specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows: The silicon wafer 5 sequentially passes through the upper part of the lower detection component 3 and the lower part of the upper detection component 2 under the action of the conveyor line 1. When the silicon wafer 5 passes through the lower detection component 3, the light of the lower light source 301 irradiates the lower bottom surface of the silicon wafer 5, and then enters the detection camera 601 through the lower light-transmitting groove 313 to form an image of the lower surface of the silicon wafer 5. When the silicon wafer 5 passes through the upper detection component 2, the light of the upper light source 203 irradiates the upper surface of the silicon wafer 5, and then enters the detection camera 601 through the lower light-transmitting groove 313 to form an image of the upper surface of the silicon wafer 5.
