[0043] The conveying assembly 500 is arranged in the platform 110, and the conveying assembly 500 is used for switching the workpiece to be dried between the discharging station, the pre-drying station 420, the main drying station 430 and the discharging station 310.

[0044] Specifically, the pre-drying station 420 is arranged in the drying assembly 400, and the pre-drying station 420 is separated from the main drying station 430 due to the pre-drying station 420 being closer to the door body 440. When the door body 440 is opened, the temperature of the pre-drying station 420 is affected, but the temperature of the main drying station 430 is not affected, so that the temperature of the main drying station 430 is more stable. In addition, the temperature of the pre-drying station 420 changes to the main drying station 430, that is, pre-drying is performed at the pre-drying station 420, and then drying is performed at the main drying station 430, so that the drying speed can be accelerated. Therefore, the drying is more uniform, the drying effect is improved, and the drying efficiency is improved.

[0045] Further, the feeding station includes a first feeding station 210 for placing a plurality of workpieces to be dried; the pre-drying station 420 and the main drying station 430 are also used for placing a plurality of workpieces to be dried; the number of workpieces to be dried in the first feeding station 210, the pre-drying station 420 and the main drying station 430 is the same. In some embodiments, the first feeding station 210 includes a plurality of (for example, three) first feeding support seat groups 211 for placing workpieces to be dried, and the first feeding support seat groups 211 are connected to the top of the platform 110.

[0046] Specifically, the pre-drying station 420 is arranged in the drying assembly 400, and the pre-drying station 420 is separated from the main drying station 430 due to the pre-drying station 420 being closer to the door body 440. When the door body 440 is opened, the temperature of the pre-drying station 420 is affected, but the temperature of the main drying station 430 is not affected, so that the temperature of the main drying station 430 is more stable. In addition, the temperature of the pre-drying station 420 changes to the main drying station 430, that is, pre-drying is performed at the pre-drying station 420, and then drying is performed at the main drying station 430, so that the drying speed can be accelerated. Therefore, the drying is more uniform, the drying effect is improved, and the drying efficiency is improved.

[0047] Further, the application also includes a weighing assembly 700 arranged at the front end of the platform 110; the weighing assembly 700 is connected with the platform 110. In the case that the feeding stations include a first feeding station 210 and a second feeding station 220, the weighing assembly 700 is arranged between the first feeding station 210 and the second feeding station 220. Since the chemical corrosion in the previous cleaning process will cause weight loss, the weighing station is arranged in the present process, so that the weight of the workpiece to be dried is weighed before entering the drying box 410, and the weighing information is transmitted to the discharging station 310, and the product is removed after being dried in the drying box 410.

Thus, the workpiece to be baked placed on the feeding station, the pre-baking station 420, the main baking station 430 or the discharging station 310 is lifted. In some embodiments, the jacking member 521 is a cylinder. For example, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0055] Specifically, the workpiece to be baked is lifted from the corresponding station by the rising of the supporting member 522, then the supporting member 522 is moved to the next station by the moving component 510, and then the workpiece to be baked is placed in the station by the falling of the supporting member 522. The structure of the present application is simple, stable in operation and reasonable in layout.

[0056] Further, the conveying assembly 500 further comprises a sliding component, which comprises a guide rail and a sliding block matched with the guide rail; the guide rail is connected with the workbench assembly 100, and the sliding block is connected with the jacking component 520. In some possible embodiments, the sliding component is two, and the two sliding components are arranged side by side along the width direction of the workbench assembly 100.

[0057] Specifically, the sliding component of the present embodiment can play a guiding role when the moving component 510 drives the jacking component 520 to move.

[0058] Further, the jacking component 520 is two, and the two jacking components 520 are arranged at the two ends of the workbench assembly 100. Among the two jacking components 520, one jacking component 520 switches and conveys the workpiece to be baked between the feeding station, the pre-baking station 420 and the main baking station 430; and the other jacking component 520 switches and conveys the workpiece to be baked between the main baking station 430, the secondary baking station 450 and the discharging station 310.

In other embodiments, the moving component 510 can realize the moving function through the cooperation of a lead screw and a lead screw nut, which is a prior art and will not be described here.

[0061] In some comparative embodiments, the air volume is uneven, resulting in different drying effects in the middle and both ends, and even the silicon wafers at both ends cannot be dried. To solve the above problems, further, a plurality of flow guide holes 800 are arranged at the bottom of the platform 110 at the pre-drying station 420, the main drying station 430 and the secondary drying station 450, respectively; the plurality of flow guide holes 800 extend along the width direction of the platform 110 and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the platform 110. Further, the spacing between the adjacent two flow guide holes 800 at the middle position is large, and the spacing between the adjacent two flow guide holes 800 at the both ends position is small, which can further solve the problem of uneven air supply. The top of the drying box body 410 is provided with an air inlet 411, and the bottom of the part of the drying box body 410 below the platform 110 is provided with an air outlet 412, and the air inlet 411, the flow guide hole 800 and the air outlet 412 are sequentially communicated.
