[0031] As one of the embodiments, the adsorbing member 30 is a vacuum generator. The vacuum generator is a prior art.

[0032] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, the support frame 20 includes a carrying disc 25 and a support rod 26. One end of the support rod 26 is connected to one end of the support arm 10, and the other end of the support rod 26 is connected to the carrying disc 25. The carrying surface 23 and the carrying adsorption port 21 are arranged at the same end of the carrying disc 25. The carrying disc 25 is connected and fixed to the support arm 10 through the support rod 26. The carrying surface 23 on the carrying disc 25 contacts the ceramic disc 52 to support and carry the ceramic disc 52, and the adsorbing member 30 is exposed through the carrying adsorption port 21 on the carrying disc 25 to adsorb the ceramic disc 52.

One ends of adjacent support rods 26 are circumferentially and spacedly connected along the outer peripheral surface of the support arm 10, and the other ends of adjacent support rods 26 are circumferentially and spacedly connected along the circumference of the bearing plate 25. The bearing plate 25 is formed by arranging a plurality of support rods 26 along the circumference, improving the connection stability between the bearing plate 25 and the support arm 10, and further improving the bearing stability of the bearing plate 25.

[0034] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, one end of the support arm 10 is connected with an adsorption installation pipe 31. The adsorption installation pipe 31 is installed in the installation cavity 24. The adsorbent 30 is connected inside the adsorption installation pipe 31.

The adsorption end 32 is exposed through the bearing adsorption port 21 to adsorb the ceramic disc 52.

[0035] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the support arm 10 is connected with a wetting spray pipe 40. The wetting spray pipe 40 is provided with a liquid inlet 41 and a spray port 42. The liquid inlet 41 is communicated with the spray port 42. At least a part of the wetting spray pipe 40 extends into the installation cavity 24, and the spray port 42 is arranged towards the bearing adsorption port 21. The wetting spray pipe 40 is provided with a liquid inlet 41 and a spray port 42. Among them, the liquid inlet 41 is used to connect with the liquid for wetting the wafer.

[0036] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, the bearing adsorption port 21 is provided with a spray area 22. The spray area 22 is located radially between the adsorption end 32 and the bearing plate 25, and the spray port 42 is arranged towards the spray area 22. The bearing adsorption port 21 is relatively large, and the bearing plate 25 is annular. After the adsorption end 32 adsorbs the ceramic disc 52, the bearing plate 25 bears the edge of the ceramic disc 52. The area radially between the adsorption end 32 and the bearing plate 25 is hollowed out to form the spray area 22. The wafers on the ceramic disc 52 are more concentrated and exposed in the spray area 22. The spray port 42 is arranged towards the spray area 22 to wet and wash the wafers on the ceramic disc 52, improving the accuracy of the spray position and the spray effect on the wafers.

[0037] As one embodiment, a plurality of wetting spray pipes 40 are provided. The wetting spray pipes 40 are circumferentially and spacedly arranged along the support arm 10, increasing the spray area in the spray area 22 and improving the spray effect.

[0038] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the support arm 10 includes a transfer section 11, a bearing section 12 and a support base 13, a support frame 20 is connected to one end of the bearing section 12, the other end of the bearing section 12 is connected to the transfer section 11, the other end of the transfer section 11 is rotatably connected to the support base 13, and the transfer section 11 and the bearing section 12 are arranged perpendicular to each other and rotatably connected. The extension direction of the support frame 20 and the transfer section 11 is the same, and both are arranged in the vertical direction. The support frame 20 extends into the range of the polishing machine through the bearing section 12, shortening the distance between the support frame 20 and the ceramic disc 52, so as to facilitate the bearing of the ceramic disc 52. The transfer section 11 is rotatably connected to the support base 13, and the transfer section 11 is connected to the support frame 20 through the bearing section 12. The transfer section 11 is rotated to drive the support frame 20 to move, so as to realize the transfer of the ceramic disc 52 between the polishing machine and the lower plate 51. The bearing section 12 is rotatably connected to the transfer section 11 so that the support frame 20 can drive the ceramic disc 52 to flip over, transfer the ceramic disc 52 from the polishing machine to the lower sheet table 51 for flipping, with the ceramic disc 52 facing the lower sheet table 51, and place the ceramic disc 52 on the lower sheet table 51.

The transfer drive 17 is fixed to the support base 13. The arrangement direction of the transfer drive 17 is the same as that of the transfer section 11 and is transmission-connected to the transfer section 11, so that the transfer section 11 drives the bearing section 12 and the support frame 20 to rotate, so as to realize the transfer of the ceramic disc 52 connected to the support frame 20. The bearing section 12 is perpendicular to the transfer section 11. The transfer section 11 is located on one side of the polishing machine. The bearing section 12 drives the support frame 20 to extend into the range of the polishing machine to facilitate the loading of the ceramic disc 52. The arrangement direction of the flip drive 16 is the same as the extension direction of the bearing section 12. The flip drive 16 is fixed to the upper end of the transfer section 11. When the support frame 20 needs to load the ceramic disc 52, the bearing surface 23 of the support frame 20 faces upward, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, when the support frame 20 drives the ceramic plate 52 to move onto the lower plate platform 51 , the flip drive 16 drives the support frame 20 to flip through the bearing section 12 , so that the ceramic plate 52 faces downward, making it easier to place the ceramic plate 52 on the lower plate platform 51 .

[0040] As one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the flip drive 16 and the transfer drive 17 are motors. Of course, the flip drive 16 and the transfer drive 17 are electrically connected to the controller respectively, and the flip drive 16 and the transfer drive 17 are controlled by the controller.

[0041] Further, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the support base 13 includes a connecting base 14 and a connecting section 15.

The connecting base 14 is connected to one side of the polishing machine to fix the support arm 10 on the polishing machine. There are various connection methods between the connecting base 14 and the polishing machine, such as screw connection, etc., which are prior arts. The transfer section 11 is connected to the connecting base 14 through the connecting section 15, so that there is a certain distance between the transfer section 11 and the polishing machine to avoid interference during use.

[0042] As one embodiment, the transfer drive 17 is fixed to the connecting section 15, and the transfer drive 17 is in transmission connection with the transfer section 11. The transfer drive 17 is fixed on the connecting section 15.

[0043] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a support device and its polishing machine. The support arm 10 is used to support the suction attachment 30 and the support frame 20, and drives the suction attachment 30 and the support frame 20 to move after adsorbing the ceramic disc 52.
