AI Technical Summary
Existing silicon wafer cleaning equipment lacks the lifting function of the basket, resulting in the basket picking and placing process requiring increased manpower or equipment workload.
A trough-type fully automatic silicon wafer cleaning equipment was designed. The first lifting mechanism and the second lifting mechanism were used as the lifting components of the basket. The pushing mechanism drove the basket to rise and fall in the cleaning area, ensuring that the basket completely left the cleaning area, which was convenient for manual or robotic arm operation.
The amount of manual or robotic operation during the basket picking and placing process is reduced, and the degree of automation and operational convenience of the equipment are improved.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0030] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0031] The present invention provides a fully automatic silicon wafer cleaning device. Figures 1-6 As shown, the tank-type fully automatic silicon wafer cleaning equipment includes:
[0032] A cleaning tank assembly 100 is provided with a trough-shaped cleaning area 101. An ultrasonic generator for generating ultrasonic waves is provided at the bottom of the cleaning area 101. The ultrasonic generator uses existing technology to vibrate the liquid in the cleaning tank provided in the cleaning area 101 by ultrasonic vibration.
[0033] A first lifting mechanism 310 and a second lifting mechanism 320 are disposed on either side of the cleaning area 101. A basket 200 for placing silicon wafers is placed between the first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320. It should be noted that the first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320 do not directly contact the cleaning tank in the cleaning area 101. The first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320 are disposed on the cleaning tank assembly 100 to assemble the side walls of the cleaning tank.
[0034] The pushing mechanism 400 includes a connecting rod 420, a pushing block 430, and a sliding rod 440. The sliding rods 440 are in two groups and are connected to each other by the connecting rod 420. The pushing block 430 is provided at the front end of the sliding rod 440. The inclined surfaces provided on the different pushing blocks 430 are respectively in contact with the first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320. The pushing mechanism 400 drives the first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320 to move synchronously, ensuring the stability of the basket 200 during the lifting process and reducing the shaking that may cause the basket 200 to slip;
[0035] In the present application, the cleaning tank assembly 100 further includes multiple sets of water inlet pipes 110 and a set of water outlet pipes 120. The water inlet pipes 110 and the water outlet pipes 120 are connected to the cleaning tank through pipes. During the cleaning process, a specified liquid is fed into the cleaning tank through the water inlet pipes 110 to complete the cleaning task of silicon wafers under different environments. Here, the piping arrangement adopts existing technical means, and the water inlet and outlet pipes 110 and 120 are completed by external drainage pumps and water inlet pumps. The basket 200 also adopts existing technology and is provided with multiple sets of slots for inserting and fixing silicon wafers.
[0036] The first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320 serve as lifting components for the basket 200, ensuring that the basket 200 can completely leave the cleaning area 101 under the lifting action of the first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320, thereby reducing the need to enter the cleaning area 101 to extract the basket 200, facilitating manual or robotic extraction and reducing manual and robotic operation.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a lifting port is provided on the top of the cleaning tank assembly 100, and the lifting block 313 extends from the lifting port into the interior of the cleaning tank assembly 100. The side hanging plate 311 and the lifting block 313 are arranged in parallel, and the side hanging plate 311 extends into the interior of the cleaning area 101; a support plate for the basket 200 is provided on the side hanging plate 311, and the support plate supports the basket 200. During the lifting process, the support plate lifts or lowers the basket 200 to a designated position.
[0038] The first lifting mechanism 310 and the second lifting mechanism 320 are symmetrical structures and are respectively arranged on both sides of the cleaning area 101;
[0039] As a preferred implementation in this embodiment, a guide rail 410 is provided inside the cleaning tank assembly 100, and the sliding rod 440 slides on the guide rail 410 through the technical principle of the slide rail slider; the guide rail 410 and the sliding rod 440 are both in two groups, and the sliding rods 440 are connected by a connecting rod 420. A power device is also provided inside the cleaning tank assembly 100, which can adopt a pneumatic push rod or an electric push rod. The power device is connected to the connecting rod 420, and the connecting rod 420 performs linear motion along the guide rail 410 along with the power device;
[0040] The pushing block 430 is staggered with the guide rail 410. The guide rail 410 does not contact the lifting block 313 during its lifting process. Due to the staggered arrangement, the lifting block 313 moves along the edge of the guide rail 410 during its lifting process, thus preventing the guide rail 410 from affecting the lifting movement of the lifting block 313.
[0041] As a preferred implementation manner in this embodiment, the pushing block 430 is provided with an inclined surface structure, and the end surface of the lifting block 313 away from the connecting plate 312 is an inclined surface. The inclined surface structure on the pushing block 430 is in contact with and connected to the end surface of the lifting block 313 away from the connecting plate 312. A limit stopper 314 is further provided inside the cleaning tank assembly 100, and the card slot provided on the limit stopper 314 is engaged with the lifting block 313. Due to the force transmitted by the inclined surface structure, only the vertical force can enable the lifting block 313 to complete the lifting operation, and the horizontal force is offset by the action of the limit stopper 314. A limit guide groove is provided in the limit stopper 314, and the lifting block 313 is provided with a guide slider. Under the action of the limit guide groove, the lifting block 313 can only move along the limit guide groove in the limit stopper 314.

However, those skilled in the art should be aware that the present invention is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the present invention, certain steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
