AI Technical Summary
The existing silicon wafer drying tank door interferes with the movement direction of the robotic arm, causing the door to be open for too long, resulting in internal temperature drop problems and unable to meet the needs of efficient production.
A silicon wafer drying tank with a movable track and drive parts is designed. The sealed door is driven to move and open horizontally by a bidirectional screw, realizing the synchronous operation of the robotic arm and the sealed door to avoid interference. The hot air pipe and the fixed frame cooperate to reduce heat loss.
The simultaneous operation of the robotic arm and the sealing door is achieved, which reduces the risk of temperature drop in the drying tank, shortens the door opening and closing time, reduces energy consumption, and improves production efficiency.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0017] The drying groove for silicon wafer comprises a groove body 10, a hot air pipe 12 arranged in the groove body 10, an opening 11 arranged on the top of the groove body 10 for the silicon wafer to go in and out, a moving rail one 20 and a moving rail two 30 arranged on the top of the groove body 10 and on both sides of the opening 11, two groups of sealing doors 40 arranged between the moving rail one 20 and the moving rail two 30 and moving towards opposite directions or moving towards opposite directions, an air outlet arranged on the moving rail one 20 and communicated with the hot air pipe 12, a driving part arranged on the moving rail two 30 and moving the two groups of sealing doors 40 to seal or open the opening 11, the driving part comprising a bidirectional screw rod 31 rotatably arranged on the moving rail two 30, a threaded sleeve 32 threadedly sleeved on both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 31, the two groups of threaded sleeves 32 being connected with the two groups of sealing doors 40 one by one, and an electric motor 33 arranged on one end of the bidirectional screw rod 31 penetrating through the moving rail two 30 and electrically connected with an ultrasonic sensor 50.
[0018] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the mechanical arm moves from above the groove body 10, the electric motor 33 is started, the electric motor 33 drives the bidirectional screw rod 31 to rotate, the bidirectional screw rod 31 drives the two groups of sealing doors 40 to move towards the direction away from each other through the threaded sleeves 32, the two groups of sealing doors 40 are opened by translation, the opening 11 on the groove body 10 is exposed, the horizontal movement of the mechanical arm and the opening of the sealing door 40 on the drying groove can be carried out at the same time, the mechanical arm is directly taken and placed, the problem of internal temperature drop caused by the opening of the drying groove door for too long is avoided, the drying process temperature is reduced from 92℃ to 88℃, thereby the problem of energy consumption of the drying groove heating can be reduced, at the same time, the mechanical action time of the opening and closing of the drying groove door is reduced by 3s, the process time can be effectively reduced, the production capacity of the silicon wafer production is improved, and the annual production capacity contribution is: 0.0354*11*8*60*12=2243.
[0019] In one embodiment, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air outlet comprises a fixed frame 22 embedded on the moving rail one, an air outlet hole 21 is arranged on the fixed frame 22 for the gas to flow out, and the fixed frame 22 is communicated with the hot air pipe 12 through a connecting pipe 23.
[0020] Specifically, the position of the fixed frame 22 corresponds to the position of the opening 11, and the hot air pipe 12 passes hot air into the tank body 10 to dry the silicon wafers in the tank body 10. When the two sets of sealed doors 40 move away from each other along the movable rail 1 20 and the movable rail 2 30, the number of air outlet holes 21 opened is opened one by one as the sealed door 40 moves, so that the hot air flows out through the air outlet holes 21, so that the part exposed by the opening 11 can form an air curtain, which can isolate the air flow inside and outside the tank body 10, reduce the heat loss in the tank body 10, and reduce the energy consumption of heating production capacity. When the two sets of sealed doors 40 move toward each other, the sealed door 40 seals the air outlet holes 21, so that all the hot air in the hot air pipe 12 enters the tank body 10, avoiding heat loss.
