Detailed Embodiments
[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-size wafer cleaning fixture, including a cleaning disk 1, a positioning rod 2 is provided at the central position of the cleaning disk 1, and the cleaning disk 1 is installed in a cleaning machine through the positioning rod 2.
[0021] A plurality of installation slots 3 are opened on the cleaning disk 1, and partition plates 4 are provided in the installation slots 3. The installation slots 3 are divided into a first installation area 31 and a second installation area 32 by the partition plates 4. The first installation area 31 is located in the inner circle of the cleaning disk 1, and the second installation area 32 is located in the outer circle of the cleaning disk 1. Sleeve rings 33 are provided at the bottoms of both the first installation area 31 and the second installation area 32, and openings are provided in the bottom areas of the first installation area 31 and the second installation area 32 in the middle of the sleeve rings 33.
[0022] A plurality of jaw mechanisms 5 are provided in the installation slots 3. The jaw mechanism 5 includes a first connecting jaw 51 and a second connecting jaw 52. The first connecting jaw 51 and the second connecting jaw 52 are connected by a pressing block 53. The first connecting jaw 51, the second connecting jaw 52, and the pressing block 53 are all hinged. The bottom of the pressing block 53 is movably connected to the inner side of the second installation area 32. The end of the first connecting jaw 51 is connected to the first jaw 55 through a first connecting rod 54, and the end of the second connecting jaw 52 is connected to the second jaw 57 through a second connecting rod 56. The length of the first jaw 55 is less than the length of the second jaw 57.
[0023] There are four first jaws 55 and four second jaws 57, and they are symmetrically distributed.
[0024] The distance from the axis of the first connecting rod 54 to the partition plate 4 is less than the distance from the axis of the second connecting rod 56 to the partition plate 4. The connection points of the first connecting jaw 51, the second connecting jaw 52, and the pressing block 53 are located above the partition plate 4. Thus, the top of the pressing block 53 is inclined inward.
[0025] The first jaws 55 are located in the inner circle of the cleaning disk 1 and are used to clamp four-inch wafer chips 71. The second jaws 57 are located in the outer circle of the cleaning disk 1 and are used to clamp eight-inch wafer chips 72, so that the cleaning disk 1 can be applicable to the cleaning of wafer chips of multiple sizes, increasing the applicable range of the cleaning disk 1.
[0026] The bottoms of the first connecting rod 54 and the second connecting rod 56 are both movably connected to the sleeve ring 33 and can swing left and right within the sleeve ring 33.
[0027] One side of the briquetting block 53 is provided with a spring 6. The spring 6 is arranged between the briquetting block 53 and the partition plate 4, and both ends of the spring 6 are fixedly connected.
[0028] When the briquetting block 53 is squeezed, the top of the briquetting block 53 inclines towards the positioning rod 2. At this time, the spring 6 is squeezed. The bottoms of the first clamping jaw 55 and the second clamping jaw 57 both incline outwards. When it is necessary to clean the four-inch wafer 71, place the four-inch wafer 71 between the first clamping jaws 55. When it is necessary to clean the eight-inch wafer 72, place the eight-inch wafer 72 between the second clamping jaws 57. Then stop squeezing the briquetting block 53, and the spring 6's elastic force returns the briquetting block 53 to its original position. At this time, both the first clamping jaw 55 and the second clamping jaw 57 return to their original positions, thereby clamping the wafer to be cleaned. Since the clamping jaws clamp the side of the wafer, no damage will be caused to the surface of the wafer, protecting the wafer to the greatest extent and ensuring the subsequent normal use of the wafer.
[0029] The component for squeezing the briquetting block 53 is not shown in the drawings. Its shape is similar to a ring, and it is pushed by a cylinder built in the cleaning machine, and then the briquetting blocks 53 on the cleaning disk 1 are simultaneously squeezed through the ring, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the first clamping jaw 55 and the second clamping jaw 57.
[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
