Monocrystalline silicon ingots are the raw material for producing monocrystalline silicon wafers, which are cut using a slicing device during production. The thickness of the slices is specified.

[0003] During the processing and production of existing single crystal silicon, it is necessary to cut larger single crystal silicon rods into slices. The existing slicing method uses a wire saw, which can only cut one slice at a time and cannot cut the single crystal silicon rod into single crystal silicon slices of different thicknesses. At the same time, most single crystal silicon slicers do not fix the single crystal silicon rod, causing the single crystal silicon rod to move during the cutting process, resulting in cutting errors and affecting the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a slicer for single crystal silicon wafer production, aiming to solve the problems of low cutting efficiency of wire cutting machines and inability to cut single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses, as well as the problem that single crystal silicon rods are not fixed during processing, which affects the quality of the finished product.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes two clamping boxes fixedly mounted on the base, the inner cavities of the two clamping boxes are movably mounted with threaded rods, the outer surfaces of the two threaded rods are fixedly mounted with first gears, and the right sides of the two clamping boxes are movably mounted with rotating rods that penetrate through and extend into the inner cavities of the clamping boxes.

[0007] Preferably, a second gear meshing with the first gear and movably connected to the clamping box is fixedly mounted on the left side of the two rotating rods, and a movable block is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the two threaded rods.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the two movable blocks are movably connected with four movable rods, the tops of the eight movable rods are movably connected with sliders that penetrate the clamping box and are movably connected to the clamping box, and one side of the eight sliders is fixedly installed with a clamping block.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment component includes a long slot opened above and below the long rod, and a limit block arranged on the inner wall of the mounting frame and located inside the long slot, a pulley is fixedly installed inside the limit block, and the outer surface of the pulley is movably connected to the inner wall of the long slot, and the mounting frame is provided with a card slot above and below, and a connecting rod is movably sleeved inside the card slot.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment assembly also includes a connecting block arranged on the right side of the connecting rod, passing through the mounting frame and extending to the outside of the mounting frame. The left side of the connecting block is movably connected to the right side of the mounting frame, and bolts are threadedly sleeved on the upper and lower parts of the right side of the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the other end of the bolt passes through the connecting block and the mounting frame respectively and extends to the inside of the mounting frame. A bayonet is provided on the right side of the long rod, and a clamping block located inside the bayonet is fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By providing a clamping assembly, it is convenient to clamp the outer side of the single crystal silicon rod, ensuring that the single crystal silicon rod will not move during the slicing process, ensuring the accuracy of the slicing and the quality of the finished product, and the adjustment assembly makes it convenient for the operator to adjust the position of the spacing between the cutters 8, that is, the spacing between adjacent cutters 8 can be adjusted, and the single crystal silicon rod can be cut into single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses. It is a practical function. When the single crystal silicon rod needs to be sliced, the rotating rod 15 drives the second gear 16 to rotate, drives the first gear 14 to rotate, drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, and causes the movable block 17 to move up and down, drives the movable rod 18 to move, drives the slider 19 to move, and drives the clamping block 20 to move, so as to clamp the outer side of the single crystal silicon rod, ensuring that the single crystal silicon rod will not move during the slicing process, ensuring the accuracy of the slicing and the quality of the finished product. When the operator needs to adjust the position of the spacing between the cutters 8, the bolt 21 is rotated at this time, which will cause the bolt 21 to be unscrewed from the inside of the mounting frame 7, thereby releasing the fixation of the connecting block 26, and then pulling the connecting block 26 outward, which will be connected through the connecting block 26. The connecting block 26 drives the connecting rod 22 to move to the right. At the same time, due to the cooperation between the card slot 23 and the connecting rod 22, the connecting block 26 will be prevented from being lost, and the card block 25 will be driven out from the inside of the card slot 24 through the connecting block 26, so that it releases the fixation of the entire mounting frame 7. Then, the mounting frame 7 is moved as a whole, so that the limit block 11 and the pulley 10 are driven to move. Furthermore, due to the design of the limit block 11, the mounting frame 7 has a good limiting effect when it moves as a whole, so that it prevents position deviation. At the same time, due to the design of the pulley 10 , it will be convenient for the operator to move the mounting frame 7 as a whole, reduce the workload, and move the mounting frame 7 as a whole to a suitable position, and then screw the bolt 21 into the interior of the mounting frame 7, so that the block 25 is driven to move to the inside of the bayonet 24, so that the mounting frame 7 is re-fixed, and then the cutter 8 is driven to move by the mounting frame 7, so that the operator can adjust the position of the distance between the cutters 8, that is, the distance between adjacent cutters 8 can be adjusted, and the single crystal silicon rod can be cut into single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses, which is very practical.

[0021] The present invention provides a single crystal silicon wafer production slicer, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a base 1, and support rods 2 distributed in a vertical direction are installed at the end corners of the upper surface of the base 1, and a top plate 3 is installed on the top of the support rod 2, and cylinders 4 are installed on both sides of the lower surface of the top plate 3, and a connecting frame 5 is installed at the bottom of the two groups of cylinders 4, and a long rod 6 is fixedly installed in the connecting frame 5, and a plurality of groups of mounting brackets 7 are movably connected to the outer surface of the long rod 6, and a cutter 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 7 through a fixed block. An adjustment component is provided between the long rod 6 and the mounting bracket 7 to facilitate the spacing adjustment of the cutter 8, and clamping components are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1 and on both sides of the adjustment component through fixed blocks.

[0022] It should be noted that, since the existing single crystal silicon needs to be cut into slices of larger volume during processing and production, the existing slicing method uses a wire saw for cutting, which can only cut one slice at a time and cannot cut the single crystal silicon rod into single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses. At the same time, most single crystal silicon wafer slicers do not fix the single crystal silicon rod, causing the single crystal silicon rod to move during the cutting process, resulting in cutting errors and affecting the quality of the finished product. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of low cutting efficiency and inability to cut single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses of the existing wire saw and the lack of fixing the single crystal silicon rod during processing of the single crystal silicon rod, which affects the quality of the finished product, this solution is provided with a clamping component to facilitate clamping the outer side of the single crystal silicon rod, ensuring that the single crystal silicon rod will not move during the slicing process, ensuring the accuracy of the slicing and the quality of the finished product, and an adjustment component to facilitate the operator to adjust the position of the cutter 8, that is, the spacing between adjacent cutters 8 can be adjusted, and the single crystal silicon rod can be cut into single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses, which is practical.

It is a function with good practicality. When the single crystal silicon rod needs to be sliced, the rotating rod 15 drives the second gear 16 to rotate, drives the first gear 14 to rotate, drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, and causes the movable block 17 to move up and down, drives the movable rod 18 to move, drives the slider 19 to move, and drives the clamping block 20 to move, so as to facilitate clamping the outer side of the single crystal silicon rod, ensuring that the single crystal silicon rod will not move during the slicing process, ensuring the accuracy of the slicing and the quality of the finished product. When the operator needs to adjust the position of the spacing between the cutters 8, the bolt 21 is rotated at this time, which will cause the bolt 21 to be unscrewed from the inside of the mounting frame 7, thereby releasing the fixation of the connecting block 26, and then pulling the connecting block 2 outward. 6, will drive the connecting rod 22 to move to the right through the connecting block 26, at the same time, due to the cooperation between the card slot 23 and the connecting rod 22, it will prevent the connection block 26 from being lost, and the card block 25 will be driven out from the inside of the card slot 24 through the connecting block 26, so that it releases the fixation of the entire mounting frame 7, and then the mounting frame 7 is moved as a whole, so that the limit block 11 and the pulley 10 are driven to move, and then due to the design of the limit block 11, the mounting frame 7 will have a good limiting effect when it moves as a whole, so that it prevents position deviation, and at the same time, due to the pulley 10 The design will make it easier for the operator to move the mounting frame 7 as a whole, reduce the workload, and move the mounting frame 7 as a whole to a suitable position. The bolt 21 is then screwed into the interior of the mounting frame 7, so that the block 25 is driven to move to the interior of the bayonet 24, so that the mounting frame 7 is re-fixed. The mounting frame 7 will then drive the cutter 8 to move, making it easier for the operator to adjust the position of the cutters 8, that is, the distance between adjacent cutters 8 can be adjusted, and the single crystal silicon rod can be cut into single crystal silicon wafers of different thicknesses, which is very practical.
