[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning device, comprising a cleaning chamber, wherein electric push rods are installed at the four corners of the top of the cleaning chamber via slots, connecting rods are installed at the top of the four electric push rods, and columns are installed at the bottom of one end of each of the four connecting rods. The bottom ends of the four columns are connected to a support housing, four elongated slots are provided at the top of the support housing, clamping blocks are installed at the top of each of the four elongated slots, and locking blocks are installed at the bottom of each of the four clamping blocks. The bottoms of the four locking blocks extend through the corresponding elongated slots into the interior of the support housing, a connecting rod is hinged to one end of each of the four locking blocks, and a turntable is hinged to one end of each of the four connecting rods. A sleeve is provided at the bottom of the turntable, and a screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the outer turntable of the screw is provided with a convex ring, the top of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the support housing. The convex ring limits the turntable, allowing it to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the support column is fixedly connected to the inside of the support housing. The support column limits the screw, preventing the screw from rotating. The screw, sleeved on the outer surface of the support column, can move linearly up and down.

[0009] Preferably, a toothed disc is provided at the bottom edge of the sleeve, and a drive gear is meshed with the outer edge of the toothed disc. When the drive gear rotates, it will drive the toothed disc to rotate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning equipment uses four clamping blocks and a flexible pad that can move up and down. When the four clamping blocks move to the middle of the support housing to clamp the semiconductor, the flexible pad descends away from the bottom of the semiconductor silicon wafer, so that the bottom of the semiconductor silicon wafer is not blocked during ultrasonic cleaning, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning device includes a cleaning chamber 1. At each of the four corners of the top of the cleaning chamber 1, an electric push rod 7 is installed via slots. Each of the four electric push rods 7 has a connecting rod 6 mounted on its top. A column 5 is mounted on the bottom of one end of each of the four connecting rods 6. The bottom ends of the four columns 5 are connected to a support housing 4. The output ends of the four electric push rods 7, through the connecting rods 6 and the columns 5, can drive the support housing 4 to move up and down inside the cleaning chamber 1. During semiconductor cleaning, the support housing 4 is driven into the cleaning fluid inside the cleaning chamber 1. After semiconductor cleaning is completed, the support housing 4 rises away from the cleaning fluid. The top of the support housing 4 has four elongated slots 12, each with a clamping block 11 mounted at its top. Each clamping block 11 has a locking block 8 mounted at its bottom. The bottom of each locking block 8 extends through the corresponding elongated slot 12 into the support housing 4. The locking blocks 8 and the elongated slots 12 work together to limit the clamping blocks 11. One end of each locking block 8 is hinged to a connecting rod 20. One end of each connecting rod 20 is hinged to a turntable 9. When the turntable 9 rotates, it pulls or pushes the connecting rods 20, causing the locking blocks to... 8 moves linearly along the long groove 12, driving the four clamping blocks 11 to move linearly towards the middle of the top of the support housing 4 or towards the four corners, so as to clamp or loosen the semiconductor silicon wafer. The bottom of the turntable 9 is provided with a sleeve 14, and a screw 17 is threadedly connected to the middle of the sleeve 14. The top of the screw 17 extends out of the middle of the top of the support housing 4. A flexible pad 10 is provided at the extended end of the screw 17. A support column 16 is inserted into the bottom of the screw 17. The support column 16 limits the screw 17, and the screw 17 can move upwards from the top of the support column 16. In the linear motion, when the turntable 9 drives the sleeve 14 to rotate, the screw 17 is driven to move up and down. When the four clamping blocks 11 move linearly towards the middle position of the support housing 4, the screw 17 is driven to move downward, causing the flexible pad 10 to descend away from the bottom of the semiconductor silicon wafer. This prevents the semiconductor silicon wafer from being blocked at the bottom during ultrasonic cleaning, thus avoiding incomplete cleaning. When the four clamping blocks 11 move towards the four corners of the support housing 4 to release the semiconductor silicon wafer, the flexible pad 10 will rise and push the semiconductor silicon wafer away from the clamping blocks 11, making it easier to pick up.

[0021] Specifically, a top cover 2 is hinged to one end of the cleaning chamber 1, and a handle 3 is installed at the front end of the top cover 2. When performing semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning, the top cover 2 is closed to prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing out of the cleaning chamber 1. The handle 3 is used to assist in opening or closing the top cover 2.

[0022] Furthermore, a convex ring 13 is provided at the top of the outer turntable 9 of the screw 17. The top of the convex ring 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support housing 4. The convex ring 13 limits the turntable 9, allowing the turntable 9 to rotate.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom end of the support column 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support housing 4. The support column 16 limits the screw 17 so that the screw 17 will not rotate. The screw 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the support column 16 and can move up and down linearly.

[0024] Furthermore, a toothed disc 15 is provided at the bottom edge of the sleeve 14, and a drive gear 19 is meshed with the outer edge of the toothed disc 15. When the drive gear 19 rotates, it will drive the toothed disc 15 to rotate.

[0025] Furthermore, a waterproof motor 18 is installed at the bottom of the drive gear 19. The waterproof motor 18 is installed inside the support housing 4 via a bracket. The waterproof motor 18 is controlled by a forward and reverse rotation control circuit and can drive the drive gear 19 to perform reciprocating rotational motion.

[0026] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When using this semiconductor ultrasonic cleaning equipment, open the top cover 2. The output ends of the four electric push rods 7 cooperate with the connecting rod 6 and the column 5 to drive the support housing 4 to rise inside the cleaning chamber 1, so that the support housing 4 rises away from the cleaning liquid. At this time, the four clamping blocks 11 are located near the four corners of the top of the support housing 4, and the flexible pad 10 is located at a higher position. Then, place the top of the flexible pad 10 at the middle position of the bottom end of the semiconductor silicon wafer. Then, start the waterproof motor 18 to drive the turntable 9 to rotate. When the turntable 9 rotates, it will pull or push the connecting rod 20, so that the clamping block 8 follows the trajectory of the long groove 12. The turntable 9 moves linearly, causing the four clamping blocks 11 to move linearly towards the middle of the top of the support housing 4, clamping the semiconductor silicon wafer. When the four clamping blocks 11 move linearly towards the middle of the support housing 4, the screw 17 is driven to move downward, causing the flexible pad 10 to descend away from the bottom of the semiconductor silicon wafer, so that the semiconductor silicon wafer will not be blocked at the bottom during ultrasonic cleaning, resulting in incomplete cleaning. After cleaning is completed, the turntable 9 drives the four clamping blocks 11 to move towards the four corners of the support housing 4 to release the semiconductor silicon wafer. The flexible pad 10 will rise and push the semiconductor silicon wafer away from the clamping blocks 11, making it easier to pick up.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
