[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the utility model provides a grinding pad quick-release structure for fixing and replacing the grinding pad for a wafer thinning machine. The grinding pad quick-release structure includes a fixed seat 1, a quick-release seat 2 and a grinding pad 3. The driving mechanism 100 of the wafer thinning machine can drive the fixed seat 1 to rotate; the quick-release seat 2 is arranged on the side of the fixed seat 1 away from the driving mechanism 100, and a quick-release slot 21 is provided on the quick-release seat 2, and a hanging pin 11 is provided on the fixed seat 1. The quick-release slot 21 is provided with an unlocking section and a locking section that are interconnected, and the hanging pin 11 can extend into the unlocking section and slide to the locking section. When the hanging pin 11 is in the unlocking section, the quick-release seat 2 can be separated from the fixed seat 1, and when the hanging pin 11 is in the locking section, the quick-release seat 2 is locked to the fixed seat 1; the grinding pad 3 is detachably connected to the side of the quick-release seat 2 away from the fixed seat 1.

[0036] It is understandable that the driving mechanism 100 can only rotate in one direction from the unlocking section to the locking section and cannot be reversed, so as to prevent the quick-release seat 2 from separating from the fixing seat 1 under the action of centrifugation.

[0037] The fixed seat 1 and the quick-release seat 2 cooperate to drive the grinding pad 3 to rotate relative to the wafer. When the grinding pad 3 needs to be locked, the hanging pin 11 can be inserted into the unlocking section of the quick-release slot 21, and then the quick-release seat 2 is rotated to make the hanging pin 11 slide to the locking section. When the grinding pad 3 needs to be replaced, the quick-release seat 2 can be rotated in the opposite direction to make the hanging pin 11 slide from the locking section to the unlocking section, and then the quick-release seat 2 is separated from the fixed seat 1. The grinding pad 3 can be directly removed and replaced on the quick-release seat 2. One worker can complete the operation by hand without the cooperation of multiple people. The operation is simple and convenient, the structure is strong and durable, and the production cost is low.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the polishing pad 3 is bonded to the quick-release seat 2, which is firm and reliable while being easy to disassemble.

[0039] Specifically, the opening width of the unlocking section is larger than the opening width of the locking section. A limiting step is provided on the inner wall of the locking section. The hook pin 11 is provided with a locking block that can abut against the limiting step. With the above arrangement, the opening width of the locking section is smaller than the opening width of the unlocking section. When the locking block abuts against the limiting step, the hook pin 11 cannot escape from the quick-release slot 21, thereby locking the quick-release seat 2 to the fixed seat 1.

[0040] More specifically, the hook pin 11 comprises a pin shaft that is detachably mounted on the fixing base 1. A locking block is sleeved onto the pin shaft, and the locking block is adjustable along the length of the pin shaft. This arrangement allows the contact pressure and friction between the locking block and the stop step to be adjusted by adjusting the position of the locking block, thereby adjusting the locking force of the quick-release base 2.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the locking block is screwed to the pin shaft, and the locking block can be moved along the pin shaft by rotating it.

[0042] More specifically, the quick release slot 21 is arc-shaped. The above arrangement makes the process of rotating the locking block smoother and prevents the locking block from getting stuck in the quick release slot 21.

[0043] More specifically, the quick release seat 2 is circular, and a plurality of quick release slots 21 are provided, and are symmetrically arranged about the center of the circle of the quick release seat 2, and the hanging pins 11 correspond one to one with the quick release slots 21. The above arrangement makes the force on the quick release seat 2 more balanced.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are four quick-release slots 21. In other embodiments, the number of quick-release slots 21 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0045] Specifically, the quick-release base 2 is provided with a positioning shaft 22, and the fixed base 1 is provided with a positioning hole 12. The positioning shaft 22 can be inserted into the positioning hole 12 and rotate in the positioning hole 12. With the above arrangement, inserting the positioning shaft 22 into the positioning hole 12 can align the quick-release base 2 with the fixed base 1, preventing the quick-release base 2 from being eccentric or skewed during rotation.

[0046] Specifically, the quick-release mount 2 includes a base plate 23 and a positioning plate 24. The base plate 23 defines a first fixing slot 231. The positioning shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 24, which is detachably disposed within the first fixing slot 231. This arrangement facilitates separation of the base plate 23 from the positioning shaft 22.

[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 24 is installed in the first fixing groove 231 by bolts.

[0048] More specifically, the substrate 23 can be provided with multiple types according to the type, shape and size of the polishing pad 3. Different types of substrates 23 are provided with first fixing grooves 231 of the same size, so that the same positioning plate 24 can be adapted to multiple substrates 23, making it easy to replace different polishing pads 3.

[0049] Specifically, the quick-release mount 2 further includes a quick-release plate 25, the quick-release slot 21 being defined on the quick-release plate 25, and a second fixing slot 232 being defined on the base plate 23. The quick-release plate 25 is detachably disposed in the second fixing slot 232. The configuration of the quick-release plate 25 allows the same quick-release plate 25 to be adapted to base plates 23 of various sizes.

[0050] Preferably, in this embodiment, the quick release plate 25 is installed in the second fixing groove 232 by bolts.

[0051] Specifically, a positioning pin is provided on the fixing base 1, and the positioning pin is fixedly connected to the driving mechanism 100 of the wafer thinning machine. The provision of the positioning pin makes the connection between the fixing base 1 and the output end of the driving mechanism 100 more secure.

[0052] The present invention also provides a wafer thinning machine for thinning wafers. The wafer thinning machine has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned grinding pad quick-release structure, which will not be repeated here. The wafer thinning machine includes a drive mechanism 100 and the above-mentioned grinding pad quick-release structure, and a fixing base 1 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 100.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 100 is a DD motor commonly used in the art.

[0054] Specifically, the output shaft of the driving mechanism 100 is provided with a liquid injection channel 101 for circulating coolant to dissipate heat of the driving mechanism 100 .

[0055] More specifically, the fixing base 1, the quick-release base 2, and the polishing pad 3 are all provided with interconnected cooling ports, which are connected to the drive mechanism 100. With the above arrangement, the cooling ports can continuously spray coolant during the thinning operation of the polishing pad 3 to control the temperature of the wafer surface.

[0056] Specifically, the wafer thinning machine also includes a liquid injection mechanism 200, the output end of which is connected to the end of the liquid injection channel 101 away from the polishing pad quick-release structure. The configuration of the liquid injection mechanism 200 can continuously provide coolant during the wafer thinning operation to prevent the equipment from overheating.

[0057] More specifically, the output end of the liquid injection mechanism 200 is rotatably connected to the output end of the driving mechanism 100 , so that the connection between the liquid injection mechanism 200 and the driving mechanism 100 is more secure.

[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, a liquid receiving tray is further provided between the driving mechanism 100 and the liquid injection mechanism 200 to prevent damage to the driving mechanism 100 .

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
