Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sorting machines, in particular to a silicon wafer sorting and loading device with a guiding function. Background Art

[0002] Silicon wafers are mainly used in the photovoltaic and semiconductor fields. The production process of silicon wafers includes crystal pulling, cutting, squaring, grinding, slicing, cleaning, chamfering, etching, chemical mechanical polishing, etc. In order to improve efficiency, the use of loading devices is indispensable in each process.

[0003] Currently, commonly used loading devices generally include conveyor belts and robots. The conveyor belt is used to transfer silicon wafers, and then the robot is used to transfer the silicon wafers to the required position. However, existing loading devices generally do not have a guiding function. During loading, it is easy to cause the position of the silicon wafers to shift, affecting the loading accuracy. In addition, the silicon wafers may have microscopic defects, lattice defects and impurities. If the silicon wafers are not sorted, the defective silicon wafers will cause the product quality to decrease in the subsequent production process.

[0004] Therefore, to address the above-mentioned problem of lack of sorting and guiding functions, a silicon wafer sorting and loading device with guiding function can be designed. Utility Model Content

The screw pair converts the rotary motion into linear motion, driving the front guide plate and the rear guide plate to move inward synchronously to guide the front and rear sides of the silicon wafer. The loading roller is started, driving the silicon wafer to move to the left. When passing through the sorting and detection frame, the silicon wafer is photographed under the action of the upper industrial camera and the lower industrial camera, and the photo is fed back to the external control system. The control system determines whether the silicon wafer has a problem based on the photo. If there is a problem, when passing through the pushing assembly, the control system controls the sorting cylinder to retract, and the first magnetic block at the front end of the pushing rod moves forward and is adsorbed by the second magnetic block, driving the pushing plate and the card block forward until the silicon wafer is pushed onto the sorting receiving tray. The silicon wafer without problem continues to move to the left to realize the loading of the silicon wafer.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4 14 and 15. In this embodiment, a slot matching the card block 83 is provided at the front end of the rear guide plate 6, and the upper end of the bottom of the sorting receiving tray 3 is flush with the feeding roller 2 and the upper end of the frame 1. The lower ends of the front guide plate 5 and the rear guide plate 6 on the side away from the guide adjustment component are fixedly connected to the pulley 12, and the left ends of the front guide plate 5 and the rear guide plate 6 are supported by the pulley 12 to ensure that the positions of the front guide plate 5 and the rear guide plate 6 do not shift during movement.

The upper industrial camera 10 and the lower industrial camera 11 are staggered with the feeding roller 2, and the shooting width of the upper industrial camera 10 and the lower industrial camera 11 is greater than the width of the frame 1, ensuring that the upper and lower ends of the silicon wafer can be photographed and inspected at the same time, and the inspection effect is more comprehensive.

[0024] During operation, the silicon wafer is placed on the feeding roller 2 in the frame 1, and the double-headed ball screw 42 between the bearing fixing seat 41 and the other bearing fixing seat 41 is rotated.
