[0052] Example
[0053] This embodiment provides a support column driving structure on a wafer support plate of a single wafer cleaning device, such as Figure 1 Shown, including:
[0054] The disk 1 has an internal installation space;
[0055] The rotating member 2 includes an inner ring 21 and an outer ring 22. The inner ring 21 has inner teeth 211, and the outer ring 22 has outer teeth 221. The inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 are connected by a connecting portion, and the other parts except the connecting portion are hollow.
[0056] The driving member 3 is engaged with the inner teeth 211 and is used to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate, so that the rotating member 2 changes between the initial state and the clamping state;
[0057] The elastic member 6 is used to apply elastic force to the rotating member 2 to restore the rotating member 2 to its initial state;
[0058] The counterweight 7 includes a rotating column 71 and a protrusion 72 disposed on the rotating column 71. The protrusion 72 has a counterweight gear 721 meshing with the external teeth 221 at one end thereof close to the rotating column 71. The other end of the protrusion 72 extends away from the rotating column 71 and forms a weight end 722.
[0059] The support column driving gear 8 is engaged with the outer teeth 221 , and the rotating member 2 can drive the support column driving gear 8 to swing when changing from the initial state to the clamping state.
[0060] The support column driving structure on the wafer support plate of the single-wafer cleaning device of this embodiment has an outer tooth 221 on the outer ring 22 of the rotating part 2. The outer tooth 221 is engaged with the support column driving gear 8 and the counterweight body 7 at the same time. The counterweight body 7 has a damping effect on the rotation of the rotating part 2. At the same time, the direction of the damping effect is consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating part 2, which can stabilize the rotation of the rotating part 2, reduce vibration, and improve the safety of the support column when clamping the wafer.
[0061] The unenlarged end of the weight end 722 may also be a mounted weight block.
[0062] Furthermore, the counterweight gear 721 is a sector gear, that is, a gear having only one arc section. The sector gear can save materials and reduce the volume of the disc 1 at the same time.
[0063] Furthermore, the elastic member 6 constantly applies an elastic force to the rotating member 2. Once the driving member 3 no longer applies the driving force, the rotating member 2 can immediately return from the clamped state to the initial state. The elastic member 6 includes a cylindrical spring 61. One end of the cylindrical spring 61 is connected to a fixed post 62 on the rotating member 2, and the other end is connected to a fixed member 63 on the disk surface 1.
[0064] Furthermore, the rotating member 2 is provided with an arcuate slot 24, through which the fixing member 63 is connected to the disk surface 1, so that all the fixing columns 62 and the connecting columns of the fixing member 63 and the disk surface 1 are located within the same circle. All the fixing columns 62 and the connecting columns of the fixing member 63 and the disk surface 1 are cocircular, which can ensure that the elastic force is consistent with the rotation direction of the rotating member 2, and the elastic force is efficiently converted into the force that drives the rotating member 2 (that is, the elastic force is basically distributed along the tangent direction of the arc, and there is no need to decompose it in the diameter direction of the circle, thereby reducing the driving efficiency of the elastic force). During the actual assembly process, the different elastic coefficients of the cylindrical springs will not cause the rotating member 2 to be subjected to force in one direction (the force in the diameter direction cannot be balanced).
[0065] The support column driving gear 8 is connected to the support column. The support column is located on the top surface of the disk 1. The support column can swing to clamp or loosen the wafer.
[0066] Furthermore, a first pressing block 41 and / or a second pressing block 42 are provided on the disk surface 1 . The first pressing block 41 is used to press the inner ring 21 , and the second pressing block 42 is used to press the outer ring 22 .
[0067] Furthermore, the inner sides of the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 have inwardly recessed steps 23 , and the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 abut against the steps 23 .
[0068] Furthermore, the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 are arc-shaped blocks, and the first pressing block 41 and the second pressing block 42 are connected to the disk surface 1 by screws.
[0069] Furthermore, a plurality of clamping wheels 5 are provided on the disk surface 1 , and the clamping wheels 5 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the outer ring 22 .
[0070] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiments of this application, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the technical concept of this application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
