[0002] During processing, silicon wafers require multiple cleanings to remove surface residues and organic impurities for easier processing. Existing cleaning methods typically involve placing the wafers in a hanging basket, which is then placed in an alkaline cleaning tank and then a pure water cleaning tank, where ultrasonic cleaning is performed.

[0003] In order to improve the efficiency of grabbing and transporting the hanging basket, a translation lifting device is usually used to transport the hanging basket to the corresponding cleaning tank. In order to facilitate the connection between the translation lifting device and the hanging basket, the Chinese patent document "CN217655850U" discloses a hanging basket hook device for an automatic silicon wafer cleaning machine. This solution sets two sets of telescopic components in a rectangular shell of a hydraulic cylinder to be connected to the hook. The telescopic component includes two opposing telescopic cylinders. The output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to a vertical plate, which is connected to the hook. A telescopic spring is commonly connected between the two vertical plates. The distance between the two hooks is changed by the extension and contraction of the output end of the telescopic cylinder, so that the hook is extended into the hanging ring of the hanging basket.

Moreover, since each hook in this solution needs to be equipped with a telescopic cylinder, when hooks are added to ensure the stability of the hanging basket, an additional telescopic cylinder is required for each additional hook, which makes control more difficult and increases the cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solution of the present invention is further elaborated in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The parts not described and disclosed in detail in the following embodiments of the present invention should be understood as existing technologies known or should be known to those skilled in the art, such as the structure of the hanging basket 1, how the silicon wafer 6 is placed in the hanging basket 1, the model, structure and working principle of the screw 8, how the screw 8 cooperates with the slider 9, the model of the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 26, the model of the motor, the model of the gear 28 and the rack 27, how to clean the silicon wafer 6, the cooperation between the screw 8, the first cylinder 10 and the second cylinder 26, the cooperation between the screw 8, the first cylinder 10 and the motor, etc.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A hanging basket transfer device for cleaning silicon wafers, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a supporting plate 13, a plurality of hooks 7 rotatably connected to the supporting plate 13 for lifting the hanging basket 1, and a rotary drive mechanism for driving the hooks 7 to rotate. In order not to affect the rotation of the hooks 7, a slide 21 is provided on the supporting plate 13, and the hooks 7 can swing in the slide 21. The carrier plate 13 is rotatably connected to the hook 7 via a rotating connection assembly. The rotating connection assembly includes two parallel mounting plates 20 fixedly connected to the carrier plate 13. A support shaft 19 is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates 20. The hook 7 has a through hole through which the support shaft 19 passes. A rotary drive mechanism is correspondingly connected to the hook 7 via several transmission mechanisms. The rotary drive mechanism includes a rotary drive 14 fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 13. The rotary drive 14 is driven by at least one turntable 15, to which at least one eccentric connecting shaft 16 is connected. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission rod 17, one end of which is rotatably connected to the eccentric connecting shaft 16, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the hook 7 via an intermediate connecting shaft 18. The hook 7 includes a connecting portion 29 and a hook body 30. The intermediate connecting shaft 18 and the support shaft 19 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting portion 29. The hook body 30 is used to hook the hanging basket 1.

[0028] The hanging basket 1 includes a receiving basket 2 and a connecting basket 3. The connecting basket 3 is located above the receiving frame and is fixedly connected to the receiving frame. The receiving frame is used to hold silicon wafers 6. The receiving frame is configured as a hollow structure to facilitate the entry of cleaning liquid for cleaning silicon wafers 6 into the receiving basket. The connecting basket 3 is provided with a limiting post 5 and a through slot 4 for a hook 7 to enter.

[0029] When it is necessary to lift the hanging basket 1 and move it, the slewing drive 14 drives the turntable 15 to rotate. At this time, the eccentric connecting shaft 16 rotates together. Since the two ends of the transmission rod 17 are rotatably connected to the eccentric connecting shaft 16 and the intermediate connecting shaft 18 respectively, when the transmission rod 17 is deflected to a certain extent due to the eccentric connecting shaft 16, the intermediate connecting shaft 18 will also be deflected to a certain extent, thereby driving the hook 7 to deflect around the support shaft 19, so that the hook 7 enters the through groove 4 on the hanging basket 1. Since the connecting portion 29 of the hook 7 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 19, the rotation of the hook 7 is more stable; when it is necessary to detach the hook 7 from the hanging basket 1, the slewing drive 14 drives the turntable 15 to rotate in the opposite direction. In this way, a turntable 15 can drive at least one eccentric shaft, and one eccentric shaft is connected to a transmission rod 17 of a transmission mechanism, thereby finally realizing the control of the corresponding hook 7. In order to better control the effect, two eccentric shafts are set on the turntable 15. In this way, when adding hooks 7 to improve the stability of the hanging basket 1, there is no need to add the same number of rotary drives 14 as the hooks 7, so the control difficulty is lower and the cost is also reduced.

[0030] The above is a basic implementation of the present invention, which can be further improved, optimized and limited to obtain the following embodiments:

When horizontal movement is required, the lead screw 8 is directly driven to move the slider 9 to a suitable position. When vertical movement is required, the first cylinder 10 is driven, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 10 extends downward, driving the supporting plate 13 and the components on the supporting plate 13 to move downward.

The piston rod of the second cylinder 26 is extended and retracted to achieve the forward and backward movement of the rack 27, thereby achieving the forward and reverse rotation of the gear 28. During the forward and reverse rotation of the gear 28, the forward and reverse rotation of the turntable 15 can be achieved through the fixed shaft 25. In this way, one cylinder can achieve the forward and reverse rotation of the two turntables 15. It is preferably provided with two eccentric connecting shafts 16 on the two turntables 15. Each eccentric connecting shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the hook 7 through a transmission mechanism. In this way, one cylinder can achieve the control of the four hooks 7, while improving the stability of the hanging basket 1 and reducing the control difficulty and control cost.
