Through the setting of the observation port 63, the number of silicon wafers in the inner cavity of the storage chamber 62 can be directly understood through the observation port 63, which is convenient for timely adding silicon wafers. A laser head 7 is installed on the processing table 1, and a material stripping component 8 is provided between the front side of the processing table 1 and the rotating disk 4. 8 includes a mounting base 81 fixedly mounted on the front side of the processing table 1, a cylinder 82 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting base 81, the output end of the cylinder 82 is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 83, a rotatable roller bracket 86 is provided on the top of the lifting plate 83, a through-hole 88 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the processing chamber 5 for the roller bracket 86 to pass through, a fixed base 84 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 83, the inner cavity of the fixed base 84 is rotatably connected to a rotating block 85 through a rotating shaft, the top of the rotating block 85 is fixedly connected to the roller bracket 86, and the lifting plate The rear side of the top of 83 is rotatably connected to cylinder 2 87 via a rotating shaft.

[0022] Working principle: When the present invention is used, the user loads the silicon wafer that needs to be grooved on the back into the inner cavity of the feeding tube 61, and the cam divider 2 drives the rotating rod 3 and the rotating disk 4 to rotate. The processing cavity 5 on the rotating disk 4 is aligned with the storage cavity 62 each time. Since the top of the rotating disk 4 is in contact with the feeding tube 61, a silicon wafer in the inner cavity of the feeding tube 61 will enter the processing cavity 5. When the silicon wafer in the inner cavity of the processing cavity 5 rotates to the bottom of the laser head 7, the laser groove operation can be performed by the laser head 7. The silicon wafer with the grooved surface rotates to align with the roller bracket 86, the cylinder 82 extends, and the lifting plate The cooperation between 83 and the fixed seat 84, the rotating block 85 and the cylinder 2 87 enables the roller bracket 86 to push the processed silicon wafer out of the inner cavity of the processing chamber 5 until the lifting plate 83 enters the inner cavity of the through-opening 88. The cylinder 2 87 extends, and the roller bracket 86 drives the rotating block 85 to rotate with the rotating axis of the inner cavity of the fixed seat 84 as the axis, so that the roller bracket 86 tilts forward. The slotted silicon wafer then passes through the guide of the roller bracket 86 and rolls to the front side of the processing table 1, and detaches from the top of the processing table 1. Then the cylinder 2 87 and the cylinder 1 82 are reset, so that the roller bracket 86 is located at the bottom of the rotating disk 4.
[0023] In summary: the annealed silicon wafer laser processing equipment loads the silicon wafer that needs to be grooved on the back into the inner cavity of the feeding tube 61, and the cam divider 2 drives the rotating rod 3 and the rotating disk 4 to rotate. The processing cavity 5 on the rotating disk 4 is aligned with the storage cavity 62 each time, and a silicon wafer in the inner cavity of the feeding tube 61 will enter the processing cavity 5. After the silicon wafer rotates to the bottom of the laser head 7, the laser grooving operation can be performed. The grooved silicon wafer is rotated to be aligned with the roller bracket 86, and the cylinder 82 is extended, so that the roller bracket 86 pushes the processed silicon wafer out of the inner cavity of the processing cavity 5, and then detaches from the top of the processing table 1 through the guide of the roller bracket 86, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically loading and unloading silicon wafers and improving the silicon wafer processing efficiency.
