DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the present utility model in the form of diagrams. For the sake of clarity, many physical details will be described together in the following narrative. However, it should be understood that these physical details are not used to limit the present utility model. That is to say, in some embodiments of the present utility model, these physical details are unnecessary. In addition, for the purpose of simplifying the diagrams, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the diagrams.

[0022] In addition, in the present utility model, descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes, and do not particularly refer to the meaning of order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0023] This embodiment provides an automatic loading and unloading transfer device for silicon ingot slicing. This automatic loading and unloading transfer device for silicon ingot slicing realizes the stable transfer of silicon ingots during the slicing process. During its operation, no manual intervention is required, effectively saving labor costs and eliminating the impact on production caused by different personnel capabilities and qualities, improving the quality and efficiency in the slicing operation of silicon ingots, and realizing a complete separation of the human and machine working areas, with higher safety.

[0024] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatic loading and unloading transfer device for silicon ingot slicing in this embodiment includes a first conveyor line 10, a second conveyor line 20, and a transfer unit 30. The first conveyor line 10 conveys the silicon ingots, the second conveyor line 20 conveys the material boxes to collect the sliced silicon ingots, and the transfer unit 30 realizes the transfer process before and after the slicing of the silicon ingots, capable of loading the silicon ingots before slicing and transferring the sliced silicon ingots.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first conveyor line 10 conveys the silicon ingots. A plurality of slicing machines 11 are arranged on the side of the first conveyor line 10 to slice the silicon ingots. The second conveyor line 20 conveys the material boxes. The second conveyor line 20 is arranged perpendicular to the first conveyor line 10. The presence of the slicing machines 11 on the side of the first conveyor line 10 enables the slicing process of the silicon ingots to complete the processing of the silicon ingots.

[0026] Further, a turnover machine 40 is provided at the end of the first conveyor line 10 to turn over the silicon ingot entering the turnover machine 40. A debris processor 60 is provided on the side of the slicing machine 11 to process the silicon ingot that forms debris. The silicon ingot is loaded at the initial end of the first conveyor line 10. At this time, the crystal carrier of the silicon ingot is at the bottom. Before slicing, it needs to be turned over to meet the requirements of slicing. Therefore, the turnover machine 40 provided at the end of the first conveyor line 10 realizes the turnover of the silicon ingot, enabling the silicon ingot to meet the subsequent slicing requirements. During the slicing process of the slicing machine 11, if debris occurs, the debris processor 60 can process the debris.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, at least one buffer table 50 is provided on the side of the first conveyor line 10 of this embodiment to buffer the silicon ingot. This buffer table 50 can buffer the silicon ingot before slicing and can also buffer the silicon ingot after slicing. This buffer table 50 enhances the overall fault tolerance of the equipment and realizes the two-way buffering of the silicon ingot.

[0028] In this embodiment, a transfer machine 70 is provided on one side of the second conveyor line 20 to transfer the material frame. In actual operation, the transfer machine 70 transfers the material frame on the second conveyor line 20, and then the transfer part 30 loads the sliced silicon ingot into the material frame and places it on the second conveyor line 20 to achieve the stable discharging of the sliced silicon ingot.

[0029] Further, the transfer part 30 includes a truss module 31 and a gripper 32. The gripper 32 grabs the silicon ingot, and the truss module 31 drives the gripper 32. The truss module 31 of this embodiment is provided above the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 so that the gripper 32 can perform the grabbing operation on the silicon ingot, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of the silicon ingot.

[0030] In the actual use of the silicon ingot slicing automatic loading and unloading transfer equipment of this embodiment, the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 respectively convey the silicon ingot and the material frame. Under the transfer action of the transfer part 30, the silicon ingot is sent into the slicing machine 11 for slicing, and then the sliced silicon ingot is loaded into the material frame to complete the automatic loading and unloading transfer of the silicon ingot during the slicing process.

Instead, the foregoing description of the configurations will provide those skilled in the art with an enabling description for implementing the described technology. Various changes can be made to the functions and arrangements of the elements without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.

Additionally, the order of the operations can be rearranged. A process may have other steps. Moreover, examples of the method can be implemented by hardware, software, firmware, middleware, code, a hardware description language, or any combination thereof.
