TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to wafer measurement technical field, especially relate to a wafer product size measuring instrument. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of glass wafer product processing and manufacturing, it is often necessary to measure the size of glass wafers after shape processing. Because of the high requirement for processing precision, the conventional way is to use an image instrument to take point measurement. Generally, the image instrument automatically moves back and forth to measure the size of multiple points and record the actual measurement value. This way takes too long to measure, and is often only suitable for production line sampling inspection. How to design a measurement device that can achieve full inspection on the production line is needed in the processing process.
[0003] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN219104734U discloses an automatic detection of fluorescent defects and wafer positioning device, which includes a mounting plate fixed on the top of the mounting base through bolts, a support stand plate is arranged on the top of the mounting plate, a fluorescent defect measurement camera is arranged on the support stand plate, a high-precision detection lens for improving detection accuracy is arranged at the bottom of the fluorescent defect measurement camera, a detection light source is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate through bolts, and a wafer positioning mechanism is arranged on the mounting base. The automatic detection of fluorescent defects and wafer positioning device can accurately and quickly detect fluorescent defects through the arrangement of high-precision detection lenses. The internal driving elements of the wafer positioning mechanism are all precision motors, which can improve the accuracy of repeated positioning of the device on the wafer. At the same time, the device is small in size, easy and fast to operate, and is suitable for installation in automatic equipment.
[0004] The above patent solution sets a positioning groove on the wafer placement plate to limit the position of the wafer when taking image detection of the wafer, and sets a vacuum suction groove to lock the position of the wafer. Therefore, when taking images of wafers of different sizes, it is difficult to manually adjust the position due to the mismatch between the positioning groove and the size of the wafer, and there is a risk of scratching the wafer. Therefore, the placement plate needs to be replaced, and the replacement process is not convenient. Therefore, the above patent is not convenient for compatibility with wafers of different size specifications. In addition, the single lens of the above patent solution needs to rotate at least one circle when measuring the size of the wafer, which also leads to low measurement efficiency. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0005] In order to overcome the technical problems of low wafer size measurement efficiency and inconvenience in compatibility with wafers of different sizes in the prior art, one purpose of the utility model is to provide a wafer product size measuring instrument. By arranging a limit rod for positioning the wafer on the clamping fingers of the electric clamp, the centripetal movement of the limit rod can concentrically align the wafer and clamp it at the same time. The placement range is large and there is no need to deliberately adjust the position. At the same time, it can be compatible with wafers of different sizes within a certain range.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a wafer product size measuring instrument, comprising a marble table, which is arranged at the upper end of a cabinet; a rotating seat, which is arranged at the upper end of the marble table; a cantilever, which is arranged above the marble table; four measuring cameras, and respectively arranged at the lower end of the cantilever; wherein an electric clamp is provided on the rotating part of the rotating seat; the electric clamp is provided with at least three clamping fingers that slide radially along the rotating seat; an extension rod is detachably connected to the clamping finger; a limit rod is longitudinally provided at one end of the extension rod away from the electric clamp.
[0007] The outer perimeter of the limit rod, when open, provides a large wafer placement area, facilitating both manual and automated wafer placement. Driven by the electric gripper, the limit rod moves centripetally, pushing the wafer coaxially with the rotating base while simultaneously clamping it to prevent movement during the calculation process. The wafer edge can be calculated within the measurement camera's field of view, ensuring compatibility with wafers of varying sizes.
[0008] The measurement process only requires placing the wafer, and the four measuring cameras can directly calculate the actual plane size of the wafer. When higher precision is required, multiple points can be measured by rotating the rotating seat to obtain the average value.
[0009] Furthermore, a support cap is provided on the rotating part of the rotating seat; the electric clamp is located below the support cap, and the extension rod extends from the side wall of the support cap; a plurality of ventilation grooves are provided on the upper end of the support cap; and the side wall of the support cap is provided with ventilation holes connected to the ventilation grooves.
[0010] The support cap provides a horizontal support surface for the wafer, and the air permeable groove prevents the wafer from being adsorbed on the support cap, making it easy to remove the wafer.
[0011] Furthermore, a lifting ring is provided above the marble table, and the support cap is located inside the lifting ring; four infrared light sources are provided at the upper end of the lifting ring, and the upper ends of the infrared light sources are located below the support cap; the infrared light sources are respectively located directly below the corresponding measuring cameras.
[0012] The setting of the infrared light source helps to improve calculation accuracy, reduce interference from ambient light, and can help identify subtle defects that are difficult to detect under visible light.
[0013] Specifically, a plurality of support columns evenly distributed along the circumferential direction are provided at the lower end of the lifting ring; the lower ends of the support columns are provided on the marble table top; and two parallel notches are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the support columns.
[0014] Furthermore, a hanging plate is provided on the cantilever, and the axis of the hanging plate coincides with the axis of the rotating base; and the measuring camera is provided on the periphery of the hanging plate.
[0015] Specifically, a fine-tuning portion is provided between the measuring camera and the hanging plate; the fine-tuning portion includes a fixed end provided on the outer periphery of the hanging plate, a sliding end longitudinally slidably connected to the fixed end, a fine-tuning knob rotatably connected to the fixed end and transmission-connected to the sliding end, and a locking knob threadedly connected to the sliding end and optionally locked on the fixed end; the measuring camera is provided on the sliding end.
[0016] Placing a standard sheet on the rotating seat and then fine-tuning the longitudinal height of the measuring camera through the fine-tuning portion helps to improve calculation accuracy.
[0017] Specifically, the four measuring cameras are divided into two symmetrically arranged groups; the angle between the line connecting the two measuring cameras in each group and the center of the hanging plate is sixty degrees.
[0018] Furthermore, the rotating portion of the rotating seat is a rotating ring rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating seat; a positioning frame is provided inside the rotating ring; the electric clamp is installed on the positioning frame, and the electric clamp is located inside the rotating ring.
[0019] Furthermore, the front end of the cabinet is rotatably connected to a cabinet door; the front end of the cabinet is horizontally slidably connected to a keyboard drawer; and the keyboard drawer is located above the cabinet door.
[0020] Furthermore, the cantilever is in an inverted L-shape; the lower end of the cantilever is arranged on the marble table top, and the upper end of the cantilever is located directly above the rotating seat.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] 1. Simply place the wafer on the support cap. The two symmetrically arranged cameras can quickly and directly calculate the actual plane dimensions of the wafer. For higher precision requirements, the support cap can be rotated to measure multiple points and take the average value.
[0023] 2. The idea of improving measurement accuracy by narrowing the detection range of the camera is to align the measurement results of the two sets of cameras through a calibration sheet, and then measure the actual size of the wafer through the actual displacement difference between the two sets of cameras.
[0024] 3. When the limit rod is on the outside, the wafer placement range is large, which is convenient for manual wafer placement; when the limit rod moves inward, it aligns the wafer with the rotating seat and also completes the clamping of the wafer. Within a certain range, it can be compatible with wafers of different sizes, and at the same time prevents the wafer from moving during the measurement process, which helps to improve the measurement accuracy.
[0025] 4. The utility model adopts modular design, which has low manufacturing cost and is easy to maintain. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
