Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a loading mechanism, including a base 18, a docking box 1 fixedly connected to the top of the base 18, a docking groove 5 opened on one side of the docking box 1, a moving platform body 2 provided on the inner top wall of the docking groove 5, the moving platform body 2 being an existing device, which will not be explained in detail here, an electric telescopic rod 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving platform body 2, and a loading platform 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 3, the moving platform body 2 can drive the loading platform 4 to move to the outside of the docking groove 5 through the electric telescopic rod 3, thereby... The position of the wafer at the bottom of the stage 4 can be changed. The wafer passes one side of the wire cutting machine, which will cut the wafer. After the wafer is cut, the moving platform body 2 can move the stage 4 to change its position again. The stage 4 is used to move the wafer to the position required for the next process. The bottom of the stage 4 is provided with a loading groove 8, and the top of the stage 4 is fixedly connected to a vacuum pump 19. The vacuum pump 19 is an existing device and will not be explained in detail here. The vacuum pump 19 is a pump with strong suction force, and its model is "VT4.40".

[0024] The outer wall of the vacuum pump 19 is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet is fixedly connected to the suction pipe 7. A vacuum tank 10 is provided on one side of the stage 4. An adsorption port 9 is provided on the inner top wall of the vacuum tank 10. When the vacuum pump 19 is started, the vacuum pump 19 will draw air from the suction pipe 7, and the air in the vacuum tank 10 will be drawn out. Since the inner wall of the vacuum tank 10 is provided with the adsorption port 9, the air inside the stage 8 will enter the vacuum tank 10 through the adsorption port 9, thereby creating an adsorption force in the stage 8. An adjustment port 11 is provided on the inner wall of the vacuum tank 10, and a steering component is provided on the inner wall of the adjustment port 11.

[0025] The carrier tank 8 is a "half circle" structure, and the outer wall of the vacuum pump 19 is provided with an air outlet 6. Since the wafer is mostly circular in structure, one half of the wafer can be placed inside the carrier tank 8.

[0026] One end of the air suction pipe 7 penetrates the carrier table 4 and extends into the inside of the vacuum tank 10, and the air suction pipe 7 is fixedly connected with the carrier table 4. When the vacuum pump 19 is started, the vacuum pump 19 will suck air from the air suction pipe 7, and the air in the vacuum tank 10 will be sucked. Since the inner wall of the vacuum tank 10 is provided with a suction port 9, the air in the carrier tank 8 will enter the vacuum tank 10 through the suction port 9, so that there is a suction force in the carrier tank 8. When a part of the wafer is placed inside the carrier tank 8, the suction force will suck the wafer, so that the wafer is positioned in the carrier tank 8. The device does not need to add a workpiece to the outer wall of the wafer during the positioning process of the wafer, and the quality of the wafer will not be affected, thereby improving the yield of the wafer.

[0027] The turning component includes an auxiliary rod 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting port 11. One end of the auxiliary rod 12 is fixedly connected with an adjusting direction plate 13. The auxiliary rod 12 can support the adjusting direction plate 13. The adjusting direction plate 13 will block the adjusting port 11, so that the adjusting port 11 will not have a suction effect on the inside of the carrier tank 8.

[0028] The outer wall of the adjusting direction plate 13 is provided with a groove 14. The inner wall of the groove 14 is fixedly connected with a motor 15. The output end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 16 through a shaft coupling. After the part of the wafer outside the carrier tank 8 is cut by the wire, the motor 15 can be started. The output end of the motor 15 drives the connecting rod 16 to rotate through the shaft coupling.

[0029] One end of the connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected with a mounting rod 17. The other end of the mounting rod 17 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the adjusting port 11. The rotation of the connecting rod 16 will give the mounting rod 17 a rotating force. Since one end of the mounting rod 17 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the adjusting port 11, the motor 15 will be subjected to a counterforce through the interaction of forces. The adjusting direction plate 13 will rotate, and the adjusting port 11 will leak out a gap. The adjusting direction plate 13 is in an inclined state, so that the adjusting direction plate 13 can guide the direction of the air flow. The air will enter the vacuum tank 10 along the adjusting direction plate 13, so that there is an air flow in the adjusting port 11. The wafer will rotate along the air flow, so that the part inside the carrier tank 8 can be rotated to the outside of the carrier tank 8. The part of the wafer that has not been cut by the wire can be cut, thereby making it more convenient to cut the wafer.

[0030] Working principle: first, the half of the wafer is placed in the inside of the carrier groove 8, start the vacuum pump 19, the vacuum pump 19 will be drawn to the suction pipe 7, and then the suction of the vacuum tank 10 will be drawn, because the inner wall of the vacuum tank 10 is provided with adsorption port 9, and then the air in the carrier groove 8 will enter the vacuum tank 10 through the adsorption port 9, so that the carrier groove 8 has an adsorption force, and then when a part of the wafer is placed in the inside of the carrier groove 8, the adsorption force will adsorb the wafer, so that the wafer is positioned in the inside of the carrier groove 8, realizing the positioning process of the device to the wafer without adding workpiece to the outer wall of the wafer, and the quality of the wafer will not be affected;

[0031] Secondly, when the part of the wafer outside the carrier groove 8 is completed by wire cutting, the motor 15 can be started, the output end of the motor 15 drives the connecting rod 16 to rotate through the coupling, and then the mounting rod 17 has a rotating force, because one end of the mounting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjusting port 11, and then through the mutual action of force, the motor 15 will be subjected to a reaction force, so that the adjusting direction plate 13 will rotate, and then the adjusting port 11 will leak the gap;

[0032] Finally, the adjusting direction plate 13 is in an inclined state, so that the adjusting direction plate 13 can guide the direction of the airflow, so that the air will enter the vacuum tank 10 along the adjusting direction plate 13, so that the inner wall of the carrier groove 8 has an airflow in the direction of the adjusting port 11, so that the wafer will rotate along the airflow, so that the part located in the inside of the carrier groove 8 can be rotated to the outside of the carrier groove 8, so that the part of the wafer not cut by the wire can be cut, so that the wafer can be cut more conveniently.

[0033] Although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
