[0044] Silicon rods are cut to the desired thickness by a cutter before being discharged. Before being formed into silicon wafers, the ends of the silicon rods must be cut off before being sliced into wafers by a cutter. The cut ends are cylindrical or conical in shape. After being removed by a reclaimer, the conical shape is not suitable for gripping with conventional clamping assemblies, making it difficult to remove the ends from the reclaimer, resulting in inconvenience in transporting the ends.

[0046] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the material head transfer and material taking mechanism of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that the material head transfer and material taking mechanism of the first aspect of the present invention is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The material head transfer and material taking mechanism of the present invention can adopt the material head transfer and material taking mechanism of the first aspect of the present invention, and can also adopt other structures. For the convenience of explanation, the material head transfer and material taking mechanism of the first aspect of the present invention is explained in detail below.

[0048] Combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a material head transfer and material picking mechanism, comprising a material support fixing frame 2, a material support 1, and a material support telescopic structure 3. The material support 1 is slidably arranged on the material support fixing frame 2. The material support 1 has two support parts 11. The distance between the two support parts 11 can accommodate the material head support block of the material picking device. The top ends of the two support parts 11 are higher than the top ends of the material head support block. Then, when the material head support block is inserted between the two support parts 11, the two support parts 11 can lift the material head. The telescopic end of the material support telescopic structure 3 is connected to the material support 1, and the fixed end of the material support telescopic structure 3 is connected to the material support fixing frame 2; when the telescopic end of the material support telescopic structure 3 is extended, the material support 1 moves toward the material head support block of the material picking device, and the material head support block is inserted between the two support parts 11, so as to transfer the material head on the material head support block to the material support 1; when the telescopic end of the material support telescopic structure 3 is retracted, the material support 1 drives the material head to reset.

[0049] The above-mentioned material head transfer and material picking mechanism transfers the material head on the material head support block of the material picking device to the material tray 1 through the two support parts 11 on the material tray 1 and the insertion cooperation with the material head support block. The shape of the material head will not affect the material picking state of the material tray 1. Therefore, this embodiment can adapt to material heads of different shapes, making the transportation of the material heads more convenient.

[0050] It should be noted that the head material in this embodiment refers to the head material obtained by cutting the head of the silicon rod or the tail material obtained by cutting the tail of the silicon rod.

[0051] In some embodiments, a guide rail slider 31 is provided on the material support fixing frame 2 , and a slide groove adapted to the guide rail slider 31 is provided on the material support 1 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the material support telescopic structure 3 is a cylinder 32, but the material support telescopic structure 3 is not limited to a cylinder, and can also be other telescopic drive structures such as a hydraulic cylinder.

[0053] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the transfer device according to the second aspect of the present invention.

[0054] It should be noted that the transfer device of the second aspect of the present invention is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The transfer device of the present invention can adopt the transfer device of the second aspect of the present invention or other structures. For the convenience of explanation, the transfer device of the second aspect of the present invention is explained in detail below.

[0055] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a transfer device, including a material head transfer and retrieving mechanism and a conveyor mechanism 8. The material head transfer and retrieving mechanism is disposed on the conveyor mechanism 8. In this embodiment, after the material head transfer and retrieving mechanism transfers the material head, it is transferred to the unloading assembly or other location via the conveyor mechanism 8, and the material head collected by the retrieving device is then transferred.

[0056] In some embodiments, a sample collecting box 5 is provided at one end of the material tray fixing frame 2 relative to the material tray 1. The sample collecting box 5 is suitable for collecting samples, so that the device can transport the sample pieces while transporting the material head.

[0057] When the material retrieving device is retrieving material, the material head is placed in a flat curved sidewall. After the material head is collected by the material tray 1, the curved sidewall is also placed flat. In order to facilitate the collection of the material head and determine whether the incoming material is a material head through height detection, the material tray fixing frame 2 of this embodiment is set on the flipping mechanism 4, and the flipping mechanism 4 is set on the fixed plate 7. The flipping mechanism 4 is suitable for driving the material tray 1 and the material head to flip, thereby placing the end face of the material head downward, facilitating the transportation of the material head and preventing the material head from falling during transportation. On the other hand, the flipping mechanism 4 can also drive the sample collection box 5 to flip, so that the sample collection box 5 can be flipped to a vertical position, so that it corresponds to the position where the sample retrieving structure 102 releases the material, facilitating the collection of the sample.

[0058] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 4 includes a flipping guide block 41 and a flipping motor. The flipping guide block 41 is connected to the material tray 1. The flipping guide block 41 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 7 via a rotating shaft, one end of which is connected to the flipping motor. When the flipping motor is activated, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the flipping guide block 41 and the material tray 1 to flip.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least two material support fixing plates 42 are provided on the side wall of the material support fixing frame 2 away from the material support telescopic structure 3. The material support fixing plates 42 are suitable for receiving the material head when the material support 1 is flipped, so that the flipped material head can still be received by this device and then transmitted to other positions through the conveying mechanism 8.

[0060] During the flipping process of the slug, after the material tray 1 receives the slug, if the slug is too short and is not in contact with the material tray fixing plate 42, then if the material tray 1 and the slug are flipped directly, the slug will drop rapidly, and it is easy for the slug to slip off the material tray fixing plate 42. To solve this problem, in some embodiments, the material tray fixing plate 42 is connected to the material tray moving plate 44 via a telescopic cylinder. Before the material tray 1 is flipped, the telescopic cylinder drives the material tray moving plate 44 to abut against the end face of the slug; when the material tray 1 is flipped, the telescopic cylinder is deflated. At this time, the telescopic cylinder is in the form of a sliding rod, so that the slug slides down to the position of the material tray fixing plate 42 under the action of its own gravity. At this time, the telescopic cylinder acts as a buffer for the slug, preventing the slug from falling too quickly.

[0061] In some embodiments, two material blocking plates 43 are respectively provided on both sides of the material support fixing frame 2, which can block the material head after the material support 1 forks the material head and when the material head is flipped, to prevent the material head from slipping off the material head transfer and material taking mechanism.

[0062] In some embodiments, a rotary mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom end of the fixed plate 7, and the rotary mechanism 6 is provided on the conveying mechanism 8 via a movable frame 9. The rotary mechanism 6 can drive the material tray 1 and the slug on the material tray 1 to rotate horizontally, thereby enabling the material tray 1 to insert and remove slugs at different positions.

[0063] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the transfer system of the third aspect of the present invention.

[0064] It should be noted that the transfer system of the third aspect of the present invention is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The transfer system of the present invention can adopt the transfer system of the third aspect of the present invention or other structures. For the convenience of explanation, the transfer system of the third aspect of the present invention is explained in detail below.

[0065] Combine Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a transfer system, including a material picking device 10 and a transfer device. The material picking device 10 has a material head support block 101 and a sample picking structure 102. The material head support block 101 is suitable for receiving the material head after cutting. The sample picking structure 102 is suitable for receiving the sample after cutting. Before the material tray 1 is flipped over, the material tray 1 is inserted into the material head support block 101 to pick up the material head; after the material tray 1 is flipped over, the sample collecting box 5 and the sample picked up by the sample picking structure 102 are both in a vertical state. After the sample picking structure 102 releases the sample, the sample collecting box 5 collects the sample.

[0066] In the above-mentioned transfer system, the material taking device 10 can take the material heads and samples at the same time. The transfer device cooperates with the material taking device 10, and the transfer device can realize the transfer of the material heads and samples at the same time. Compared with the method of independently transferring the material heads and samples, it saves space occupancy and improves transfer efficiency.

[0067] The specific working process of the above transfer system is as follows:

[0068] The swivel mechanism 6 controls the forking direction of the material tray 1, determining whether to collect the top or tail of the material. When the top of the material needs to be collected, the swivel mechanism 6 drives the material tray 1 to flip to the position corresponding to the material removal device for the top of the material; when the tail of the material needs to be collected, the swivel mechanism 6 drives the material tray 1 to flip to the position corresponding to the material removal device for the tail of the material.

[0069] The conveying mechanism 8 drives the material tray 1 to move to a position corresponding to the material head support block 101 of the material taking device 10 .

[0070] The material tray telescopic structure 3 drives the material tray 1 to extend from the material tray fixing frame 2, so that the material head support block 101 is inserted between the two support parts 11 of the material tray 1, and the material head 12 on the material head support block 101 is forked through the two support parts 11.

[0071] The material support telescopic structure 3 retracts, driving the material support 1 to reset.

[0072] The flip motor rotates to control the material tray 1 and the material head to flip to a vertical state, so that the material head abuts against the material tray fixing plate 42. The suction cup of the sample taking structure 102 releases the sample, and the sample falls into the sample collecting box 5.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
