[0019] The technical scheme in the utility model embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the utility model embodiments. Apparently, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
[0021] Working principle: When a single wafer needs to be transferred, to transfer a single wafer from Casser 1 2 to Casser 2 3, Casser 1 2 is placed on the right side of base 1, and Casser 2 3 is placed on the left side of base 1. The push rod is moved to a horizontal position with the wafer to be transferred. Then, the positioning shaft 9 and the mounting rod 10 are inserted into the fixing hole and the positioning hole, respectively. Then, the pin 15 is inserted into the positioning hole and the corresponding mating hole 13 to fix the push plate 8. Then, the stepper motor 5 is started to rotate. The rotation of the stepper motor 5 drives the gear 11 to rotate. Since the gear 11 meshes with the pull plate 6, the rotation of the gear 11 will drive the pull plate 6 to move, thereby driving the mounting base 7 to move. When the mounting base 7 moves, the positioning shaft 9 and the mounting rod 10 will move, and the push plate 8 will also move accordingly, thus completing the transfer of a single wafer. Finally, the stepper motor 5 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction to reset the push plate 8.
[0022] When the height of the wafer changes, the mating hole 13 connecting the push plate 8 and the mounting rod 10 can be changed.
[0023] like Figs. 1-2 As shown,
[0024] The device includes a base 1, with a first 2 and a second 3 for placing wafers on the upper surface of the base 1. Four support columns 16 are provided below the base 1, and the support columns 16 are fixedly connected to the base 1 to provide sufficient space for the installation of the stepper motor 5.
[0025] The base 1 has a controller 17 that is electrically connected to the stepper motor 5 on its side wall, and the controller 17 controls the working state of the stepper motor 5.
[0026] A groove 4 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a pushing component is provided on the lower end face of the base 1 to transfer the wafer.
[0027] The pushing assembly includes a stepper motor 5, a pull plate 6, a mounting base 7, a push plate 8, a positioning shaft 9, and a mounting rod 10. The stepper motor 5 is mounted on the lower end face of the base 1. A gear 11 is sleeved on the output end of the stepper motor 5. The end face of the pull plate 6 is provided with a tooth 12 that meshes with the gear 11. One end of the pull plate 6 abuts against the gear 11, and the other end is fixed to the mounting base 7 through a sliding groove 4. The positioning shaft 9 and the mounting rod 10 are fixed to the upper end face of the mounting base 7. The positioning shaft 9 can prevent the push plate 8 from rotating.
[0028] The rotation of gear 11 drives the pull plate 6 to move, which in turn pulls the mounting base 7 to move, and drives the push plate 8 to move, thus transferring the wafer.
[0029] A guide block 14 is provided on one side of the slide groove 4 on the lower end face of the base 1. The guide rod can prevent the position of the pull plate 6 from shifting during the movement.
[0030] The guide block 14 has a guide groove on its side wall for the pull plate 6 to pass through, making it easy to observe the movement of the pull plate 6.
[0031] The push plate 8 is provided with fixing holes and positioning holes for connecting with the positioning shaft 9 and the mounting rod 10, the mounting rod 10 is provided with a plurality of butt joints 13 equidistantly connected with the positioning holes, the positioning holes and the butt joints 13 are provided with pin rods 15, the push plate 8 and the mounting rod 10 are connected through the pin rods 15, which is convenient for disassembly, and the height position of the push plate 8 can be adjusted through the plurality of butt joints 13.
