[0061] As Figure 1 shown, and with reference to Figures 2 to 6 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a clamping device, which includes a clamping table 10, a first crystal carrier 21, a second crystal carrier 22 and a locking bar 42. The clamping table 10 has a first installation groove and a second installation groove. The first crystal carrier 21 is arranged on the lower side of the clamping table 10, and a first clamping block 25 is arranged on the upper side of the first crystal carrier 21, and the first clamping block 25 is installed in the first installation groove. The second crystal carrier 22 is arranged on the lower side of the clamping table 10, and the second crystal carrier 22 is arranged in parallel with the first crystal carrier 21. A second clamping block 26 is arranged on the upper side of the second crystal carrier 22, and the second clamping block 26 is installed in the second installation groove. The locking bar 42 is arranged horizontally and is configured to drive the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 to rise simultaneously when rising.

[0062] When the clamping device of the embodiment of the present utility model is in use, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 are respectively used to adhere to the crystal bar to be cut (which can be a half bar). The first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 can be first installed on the clamping table 10, and then the whole formed by the clamping table 10, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 is installed on a wire cutting machine. Then the locking bar 42 is installed. At this time, the lifting block (which can also be called a mushroom head) on the wire cutting machine or other structures on the wire cutting machine can drive the locking bar 42 to rise. The locking bar 42 drives the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26 to rise, realizing the clamping of the crystal carrier, and then realizing the clamping of the crystal bar to be cut. Then, the cutting device of the wire cutting machine is used for cutting.

[0063] In some alternative embodiments, the clamping table 10 can also be fixedly arranged on the wire cutting machine, and then the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 are respectively installed on the clamping table 10, and the lifting unit on the wire cutting machine is used to drive the locking bar 42, as well as the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26 to rise, realizing the clamping of the crystal carrier, and then the cutting device is used for cutting. At the same time, the reverse action can also realize the disassembly of the crystal carrier, that is, on a working platform, the functions of clamping, fastening and disassembling of a half-piece double crystal bar are realized.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present utility model, due to the presence of the locking bar 42, the lifting unit can drive the locking bar 42 to rise, and the locking bar 42 drives the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26 to rise simultaneously, realizing the clamping of the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26, and further realizing the clamping of two half bars. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0065] Furthermore, the clamping device according to the embodiment of the present utility model has two crystal carriers, namely a first crystal carrier 21 and a second crystal carrier 22. The crystal carriers are both semi - sheet - type crystal carriers adaptable to the bonding of semi - rods, that is, a semi - rod can be installed on the lower side of each crystal carrier, and there is a clamping table 10, which enables the crystal bar to be installed on an existing wire cutting machine. When the wire cutting machine cuts, the entire crystal bar is cut simultaneously, which is conducive to making use of the cutting ability of the existing wire cutting machine.

[0066] Specifically, when installing the semi - rods on the clamping device, one semi - rod is installed on each crystal carrier, and there are no problems such as interference and extrusion, and the installation difficulty is low. Obviously, two semi - rods can be cut simultaneously, and the cutting ability can be effectively exerted, which can reduce costs. After slicing is completed, the two crystal carriers can be separated to achieve blanking, and the slices on the two crystal carriers can be automatically degummed respectively, which is conducive to the acquisition of the obtained slices. Obviously, the clamping device according to the embodiment of the present utility model provides technical support for conveniently obtaining smaller slices.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first crystal carrier 21 contacts the second crystal carrier 22, and the lower surface of the first crystal carrier 21 is flush with or has a very small height difference from the lower surface of the second crystal carrier 22, and the height difference is less than 5 mm. Such a setting is conducive to making the semi - rods on the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 form a whole, which is conducive to the cutting device cutting the crystal bar simultaneously or with a small time difference. In other embodiments of the present utility model, according to the actual working conditions, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 can be arranged at intervals, and the distance between the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 should be less than or equal to 15 mm. For example, the distance between the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 is 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm or 13 mm, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present utility model, both the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 are semi - sheet - type crystal carriers, so that semi - rods can be installed on the lower sides of the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 respectively. Such a setting enables the cutting device to cut two semi - rods simultaneously, and it is easy to obtain smaller slices after cutting.

[0069] It should also be noted here that in the photovoltaic industry, a half rod is not exactly half of a square rod, not half in the geometric sense. For example, for a square rod of 180×180, the corresponding half rod specifications may be 180×89, 180×90, 180×91, etc. That is to say, the half rod can be greater than or less than half of the square rod in the geometric sense. That is, the relationship between the length and width of the cross-section of the half rod can be: the width of the cross-section of the half rod is between half of the length of the cross-section minus a preset difference and half of the length of the cross-section plus a preset difference. The preset difference can be 1 / 10 of the length of the cross-section of the half rod, etc. Usually, the two half rods carried by the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 here can form a complete square rod. In the actual production and manufacturing process, both of the two half rods carried by the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 can be greater than or less than or equal to half of the square rod in the geometric sense.

[0070] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the sizes of the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 can be set according to actual needs. For example, crystal rods are respectively installed on the lower sides of the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22. In some other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the lower surface of the first crystal carrier 21 can also be smaller than or larger than the lower surface of the second crystal carrier 22.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first installation groove is used to prevent the first clamping block 25 from disengaging downward from the clamping table 10. The second installation groove is used to prevent the second clamping block 26 from disengaging downward from the clamping table 10. Such a setting is beneficial to protecting the crystal rods, semi-crystal rods, etc. on the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22, and is also beneficial to the transportation of the crystal rods, semi-crystal rods, etc.

[0072] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, when the locking bar directly drives the crystal carrier to move upward, the installation grooves of the crystal carrier, that is, the first installation groove and the second installation groove, can be set in a form that does not prevent the clamping block from disengaging downward from the clamping table 10, and the lifting block is used to prevent the clamping block from disengaging downward from the clamping table 10. Of course, for the convenience of transporting the crystal carrier and protecting the crystal carrier, etc., the installation grooves of the crystal carrier are preferably set to prevent the clamping block from disengaging downward from the clamping table 10.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first through hole is provided on the first clamping block 25, and a second through hole is provided on the second clamping block 26; the locking bar 42 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole. By installing in the way of through holes, the locking bar 42 can be firmly installed on the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26, improving the stability of driving the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26 to rise.

[0074] In some other embodiments of the present utility model, a first relief groove is provided on the lower side of the first installation groove, and a second relief groove is provided on the lower side of the second installation groove; the locking strip 42 is located within the first relief groove and the second relief groove, and drives the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26 to rise by contacting the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping table 10 further has a receiving groove 11, the receiving groove 11 is located between the first installation groove and the second installation groove, and the locking strip 42 passes through the receiving groove 11. By providing the receiving groove 11, it is convenient to install the device for driving the locking strip 42 to rise, which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness of the clamping device.

[0076] For example, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping device further includes a lifting block 41, the lifting block 41 is arranged in the receiving groove 11, and the lifting block 41 is configured to drive the locking strip 42 to rise when rising. Preferably, the number of lifting blocks 41 is multiple, and they are arranged at intervals in sequence along the length direction of the receiving groove 11. The multiple lifting blocks 41 move synchronously.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, a third through hole is provided on the lifting block 41, and the locking strip 42 passes through the third through hole.

[0078] In some other embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the lifting block 41 is arranged on the lower side of the locking strip 42, so that the lifting block 41 drives the locking strip 42 to rise by contacting the locking strip 42. During installation, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 can be first installed on the clamping table 10, then the whole formed by the clamping table 10, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 is installed on the wire cutting machine, and then the locking strip 42 is inserted into the first through hole and the second through hole, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of installation interference and can improve the installation convenience and installation efficiency.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the clamping device further includes a clamping seat 30 and a lifting unit 40 installed on the clamping seat 30, the lifting unit 40 is configured to drive the lifting block 41 to rise and fall, that is, the lifting unit 40 is configured to drive the locking strip 42, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 to move upward. The clamping seat 30 is used to limit the upward movement stroke of the clamping table 10 relative to the clamping seat 30. When clamping, the lifting unit 40 drives the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 to move upward. After the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 are blocked by the clamping table 10, the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 drive the clamping table 10 to rise until the clamping table 10 is blocked by the clamping seat 30, realizing the clamping of the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22.

[0080] In some other embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping seat 30 is used to define the upward movement stroke of the first crystal holder 21 and the second crystal holder 22 relative to the clamping seat 30. When clamping, the lifting unit 40 drives the first crystal holder 21 and the second crystal holder 22 to move upward. After the first crystal holder 21 and the second crystal holder 22 are blocked by the clamping seat 30, the clamping of the first crystal holder 21 and the second crystal holder 22 is realized.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping table 10 is fixedly installed on or integrally formed with the clamping seat 30. Or rather, in some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 8 to 10 shown, there is no clamping seat 30, that is, the lifting unit 40 is installed on the clamping table 10, and the lifting unit 40 is configured to drive the lifting block 41 to move upward. The clamping table 10 is used to define the upward movement stroke of the first crystal holder 21 and the second crystal holder 22 relative to the clamping table 10. When in use, two crystal holders are directly installed on the clamping table 10. Then, when transporting the crystal bar and the semi-bar, it is the transportation of each crystal holder and the crystal bar adhered to the crystal holder, rather than the transportation of the whole formed by the crystal holder and the clamping table 10.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping table 10 is movably installed up and down on the clamping seat 30. The clamping table 10 is movably installed up and down on the clamping seat 30. Further, after the clamping table 10 is installed on the clamping seat 30, it cannot be separated from the clamping seat 30 and can only move up and down relative to the clamping seat 30. When transporting the crystal bar and the semi-bar, the first crystal holder 21, the second crystal holder 22 and the crystal bar adhered to the crystal holder are transported.

[0083] In some alternative embodiments, after the clamping table 10 is installed on the clamping seat 30, it can be separated from the clamping seat 30. For example, as Figure 7 shown, the clamping seat 30 has a third installation groove 31, and the clamping table 10 is installed in the third installation groove 31. When in use, after the crystal holder is installed on the clamping table 10, then the whole formed by the crystal holder and the clamping table 10 is installed on the clamping seat 30, which is convenient for the transportation and installation of the crystal bar. Moreover, this clamping seat 30 can directly use the clamping seat 30 in the existing wire cutting machine. That is to say, during the production and manufacturing process of the clamping device in the embodiment of the present utility model, based on the existing clamping device, the clamping seat 30 therein does not need to be redesigned or greatly modified, which is beneficial to reducing costs. Further, the third installation groove 31 is used to prevent the clamping table 10 from disengaging downward from the clamping seat 30. The third installation groove 31 is horizontally arranged, and at least one end of the third installation groove 31 penetrates through the clamping seat 30. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the installation groove of the clamping table 10, that is, the third installation groove 31, only facilitates the installation of the clamping table 10, and the lifting unit 40, the lifting block 41 and the locking strip 42 are used to prevent the clamping table 10 from disengaging downward from the clamping seat 30.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping seat 30 has a first limiting surface, and the clamping table 10 has a second limiting surface. The first limiting surface is configured to contact and abut against the second limiting surface to define the upward movement stroke of the clamping table 10 relative to the clamping seat 30. Specifically, the top surface of the third mounting groove 31 is the first limiting surface, and the upper surface of the clamping table 10 is the second limiting surface.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first mounting groove has a third limiting surface, and the first clamping block 25 has a fourth limiting surface. The third limiting surface is configured to contact and abut against the fourth limiting surface to define the upward movement stroke of the first clamping block 25 relative to the clamping table 10. The second mounting groove has a fifth limiting surface, and the second clamping block 26 has a sixth limiting surface. The fifth limiting surface is configured to contact and abut against the sixth limiting surface to define the upward movement stroke of the second clamping block 26 relative to the clamping table 10. Specifically, the top surface of the first mounting groove is the third limiting surface, and the upper surface of the first clamping block 25 is the fourth limiting surface. The top surface of the second mounting groove is the fifth limiting surface, and the upper surface of the second clamping block 26 is the sixth limiting surface.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 7 shown, the clamping device further includes a positioning assembly. The positioning assembly is disposed between the first crystal carrier 21 or the first clamping block 25 and the clamping seat 30 to define the upward movement stroke of the first crystal carrier 21 relative to the clamping seat 30, and / or is disposed between the second crystal carrier 22 or the second clamping block 26 and the clamping seat 30 to define the upward movement stroke of the second crystal carrier 22 relative to the clamping seat 30. A positioning assembly is disposed between the clamping seat 30 and the crystal carrier. The clamping seat 30 limits the upward movement of the positioning assembly, and the positioning assembly limits the upward movement of the crystal carrier, realizing the function of the clamping seat 30 for defining the upward movement strokes of the first crystal carrier 21 and the second crystal carrier 22 relative to the clamping seat 30.

[0087] In some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping table 10 has a first through hole on the upper side of the first mounting groove. The positioning assembly includes a first positioning member 51. The first positioning member 51 passes through the first through hole and contacts the upper surface of the first clamping block 25. The clamping table 10 has a second through hole on the upper side of the second mounting groove. The positioning assembly includes a second positioning member 52. The second positioning member 52 passes through the second through hole and contacts the upper surface of the second clamping block 26.

[0088] During operation, a crystal bar or a half crystal bar can be installed on the crystal holder. Then, the crystal holder is installed on the clamping table 10 through the installation groove for the crystal holder. Next, the lifting unit 40 and the lifting block 41 can be used to directly drive the crystal holder to move upward. As the crystal holder moves upward, the positioning component acts on the crystal holder and hinders the upward movement of the crystal holder. At this time, the clamping of the crystal holder is realized. That is, for the clamping device of the embodiment of the present invention, the clamping of the crystal holder is realized by setting the through hole and the positioning component.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of the positioning members, namely the first positioning member 51 and the second positioning member 52, for positioning are significantly smaller than the top surface of the installation groove of the crystal holder. Correspondingly, the positioning surfaces corresponding to the upper surfaces of the clamping blocks on the crystal holder, namely the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 26, are only a part of the upper surface of the clamping blocks. This can significantly reduce the processing surface. When processing a smaller processing surface, it is significantly beneficial to reduce the processing cost while improving the processing quality. Moreover, due to the high processing quality of the processing surface, that is, the high flatness of the processing surface, it is beneficial to improve the clamping effect. That is, the clamping device of the present invention has a lower cost and a higher clamping effect compared with the existing clamping devices.

[0090] Furthermore, since the through hole is located above the installation groove of the crystal holder, the positioning member contacts at least the middle part of the clamping block along the width direction of the clamping block, so that the middle part of the clamping block can be clamped, preventing the problem of crystal holder deflection when clamping at the edge position of the crystal holder, that is, it is beneficial to prevent the crystal holder from being higher on one side and lower on the other side. When clamping in the middle, compared with clamping on both sides of the crystal holder, the processing cost can be reduced.

[0091] In particular, in the clamping device and the wire cutting machine of the present invention, since there are two crystal holders and the distance between the two crystal holders is relatively close or they need to be in contact, since it is impossible to clamp on both sides of each crystal holder, that is, the problem of crystal holder deflection cannot be solved. In view of this, the present invention adopts the scheme of middle clamping with a through hole and a positioning member, which is beneficial to make the lower surfaces of the two crystal holders be in the same plane.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first positioning member 51 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 30, or the first positioning member 51 is movably arranged up and down on the clamping seat 30 or the clamping table 10, and the upper end of the first positioning member 51 is configured to contact the clamping seat 30. The second positioning member 52 is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 30, or the second positioning member 52 is movably arranged up and down on the clamping seat 30 or the clamping table 10, and the upper end of the second positioning member 52 is configured to contact the clamping seat 30.

[0093] That is to say, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning assembly is fixedly connected to the clamping seat 30. For example, the positioning assembly can be installed on the clamping seat 30, or the positioning assembly and the clamping seat 30 are integrally formed. It can also be said that a smaller clamping mating surface is provided on the clamping seat 30 to reduce costs.

[0094] In some other embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning assembly is arranged to be movable up and down, and the upper end of the positioning assembly is configured to contact the clamping seat 30. That is to say, the positioning assembly is arranged to move up and down on the clamping seat 30 or the clamping table 10. Preferably, the positioning assembly is arranged to be movable up and down on the clamping table 10. By setting the movable solution, for example, directly placing the positioning member in the corresponding through hole, it is beneficial to the replacement of the positioning member and also beneficial to the installation of the clamping device.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the through hole of the clamping table 10 has a movement position on the lower side of the positioning assembly. In particular, when the positioning assembly is arranged on the clamping seat 30, the position of the clamping table 10 is beneficial to the horizontal movement of the clamping table 10, that is, beneficial to the installation of the clamping table 10, and the positioning assembly can also guide the lifting of the clamping table 10. In this embodiment, the clamping table 10 needs to be arranged to be movable up and down on the clamping seat 30.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping device further includes a reset unit, and the reset unit is arranged between the clamping table 10 and the positioning assembly and is configured to urge the lower end of the positioning assembly to always remain on the upper side of the crystal carrier installation groove.

[0097] For example, the reset unit can be a compression spring, which is sleeved on the positioning member. In the initial position, the lower end of the positioning member is on the upper side of the crystal carrier installation groove, that is, not in the crystal carrier installation groove. In this way, when installing the crystal carrier, there is no blockage to the installation of the chuck, which is beneficial to improving the installation speed. In this embodiment, the clamping table 10 needs to be arranged to be movable up and down on the clamping seat 30.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the lower end of the positioning member can also extend into the crystal carrier installation groove, as long as it does not prevent the installation of the chuck. Even if the installation is a bit difficult, it is also an acceptable solution, and the reset unit can also be used to make the lower end of the positioning member extend into the crystal carrier installation groove.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first positioning member 51 is directly placed in the first through hole, and the second positioning member 52 is directly placed in the second through hole. Specifically, after the crystal carrier is installed on the clamping table 10, the positioning member is directly placed in the through hole, and the lower end of the positioning member contacts the crystal carrier. After the crystal carrier or the clamping table 10 rises until the upper end of the positioning member contacts the clamping seat 30.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning member is directly placed in the through hole. Specifically, after the crystal tray is installed on the clamping table 10, the positioning member is directly placed in the through hole, and the lower end of the positioning member contacts the crystal tray. After the crystal tray or the clamping table 10 rises until the upper end of the positioning member contacts the clamping seat 30.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the locking bar 42 is further configured to drive the clamping table 10 to rise synchronously when driving the first crystal tray 21 and the second crystal tray 22 to rise simultaneously. A fourth through hole may be provided on the clamping table 10, and the locking bar 42 passes through the fourth through hole, so that the clamping table 10 and the crystal tray rise synchronously. That is, the lifting unit 40 is installed on the clamping seat 30 and is configured to drive the crystal tray and the clamping table 10 to move upward synchronously. After the positioning member contacts the crystal tray, the clamping of the crystal tray can be achieved.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning member is a limit post or a limit block, and the projection of the positioning member in the horizontal plane is circular, square, polygonal or plum blossom-shaped.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first installation groove is horizontally arranged, and at least one end of the first installation groove penetrates through the clamping table 10. The second installation groove is horizontally arranged, and at least one end of the second installation groove penetrates through the clamping table 10.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the first installation groove, the second installation groove, the third installation groove 31, and the accommodating groove 11 can all be T-shaped grooves, dovetail grooves or reverse dovetail grooves, etc. The lifting unit 40 can be a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0106] The embodiment of the present utility model further provides a wire cutting machine, which includes a cutting device and the clamping device in any one of the above embodiments. The wire cutting machine is a cutting device for cutting hard and brittle material rods such as single-crystal silicon material rods, polycrystalline silicon material rods, sapphire rods, and magnetic material rods. The wire cutting machine has the advantages of high efficiency, high productivity, and high precision. Its principle is to rub the workpiece to be processed by a cutting wire moving at high speed, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting.
