[0002] The novel silicon wafer dryer is a device for drying silicon wafers. It has the advantages of high efficiency, fast drying speed, low energy consumption, simple operation and easy control, and is widely used for drying various silicon wafer-shaped chemical products, such as black silicon carbide wafers and silicon carbide micro-powder. Most existing novel silicon wafer dryers are not provided with an automatic box cover mechanism, and the opening and closing of the box cover is troublesome, which is inconvenient for placing and taking out the silicon wafers. Moreover, most novel silicon wafer dryers can only blow hot air to the silicon wafers from a single direction, and the drying efficiency of the silicon wafers on the side not facing the hot air is generally low, and the drying effect is not good. Therefore, we propose a novel silicon wafer dryer provided with an automatic box cover mechanism. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a novel silicon wafer dryer provided with an automatic box cover mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

The automatic box cover mechanism comprises a box cover body which is horizontally and slidingly connected to the top of the drying box.

[0006] A plurality of groups of air holes are formed in the peripheral side walls of the drying box, and air inlet covers are installed on the peripheral outer walls of the drying box and communicate with the air holes. A sealed box is connected to the bottom of the drying box, an air inlet is formed in the bottom wall of the sealed box, and a fan and an electric heating pipe are connected to the inner cavity of the sealed box through a support. Air pipes are installed on the peripheral side walls of the sealed box and are in communication, and the other ends of the air pipes communicate with the air inlet covers.

[0007] Further, the automatic box cover mechanism further comprises a U-shaped box which is connected to the left end of the rear outer wall of the drying box through a support, and the U-shaped box is located directly above the box cover body.

[0008] Further, a stepper motor is arranged on the front end face of the U-shaped box, a drive shaft is connected to the output end of the stepper motor, a gear is installed on the drive shaft, a plurality of groups of meshing grooves are formed in the box cover body, and the meshing grooves are in meshing connection with the gear.

[0009] Further, a T-shaped guide slot is formed in the front end face of the box cover body, and a T-shaped piece is installed on the front end outer wall of the drying box and is in sliding connection with the T-shaped guide slot.

[0010] Further, the inner wall of the air inlet is connected with a dust screen.

[0011] Further, a sealing strip is arranged at the connecting position of the box cover body and the drying box.

[0012] Further, a cushion plate is arranged at the bottom of each group of support frames, and an antiskid pad is arranged on the lower surface of the cushion plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0014] The novel drying machine for silicon wafers is provided with an automatic box cover mechanism, and the gear on the driving shaft is driven to rotate through the work of the stepping motor on the automatic box cover mechanism. Since the gear is in meshing connection with the plurality of meshing grooves, and the box cover is limited in sliding through the T-shaped member and the T-shaped guide groove, the box cover can slide horizontally on the drying box, which facilitates the opening and closing of the drying box. The fan generates negative pressure after work, and the heat generated by the electric heating pipe is delivered into the plurality of air holes through the air pipe and the air inlet cover, and the hot air is blown to the silicon wafers from all directions, which effectively improves the drying efficiency of the silicon wafers.
