A fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed rod 9. There are two sets of fixed plates 10. A drive rod 11 is fixedly connected between the two sets of fixed plates 10. A sleeve 12 is rotatably and slidably connected to the outside of the drive rod 11. A sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 12. The sliding rod 13 slides in the sliding groove 15. A stirring assembly is connected to the bottom of the fixed rod 9 to make the cleaning agent more fully contact the wafer surface and improve the cleaning effect on the wafer.

[0031] The stirring assembly includes a driven rod 24 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed rod 9. A stirring blade 25 and a crossbar 26 are fixedly connected to the outside of the driven rod 24. A scraper 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 26 and slides on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The pressing assembly includes a connecting bracket 17 fixedly connected to the top of the supporting base plate 16. A top plate 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting bracket 17. A limiting groove 19 is opened in the top plate 18. A vertical rod 20 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 19. A pressure plate 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 20. A spring 21 is fixedly connected between the pressure plate 23 and the top plate 18. A handle 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 20.

[0032] Working principle: In the wafer cleaning device, the drive motor 6 is started to drive the turntable 14 to rotate, causing the slide rod 13 to rotate with the turntable 14 and slide in the slide groove 15, driving the sleeve 12 to move. At the same time, the sleeve 12 rotates and slides on the drive rod 11, causing the drive rod 11 to swing back and forth, driving the fixed plate 10 to swing, thereby driving the fixed rod 9 to swing back and forth, causing the driven rod 24 to drive the stirring blade 25 to rotate back and forth, mixing and stirring the wafer cleaning agent in the cleaning tank 1. At the same time, the scraper 27 can scrape off the agent adhering to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The cleaning agent is thoroughly mixed to ensure better contact with the wafer surface, making it easier to rinse away contaminants. This also results in a more uniform mixing of the cleaning agent compared to a static state, improving the cleaning effect on the wafer. In the wafer cleaning device, pulling the handle 22 upwards moves the pressure plate 23 upwards, while simultaneously increasing the pressure on the spring 21, placing the wafer on the two side support base plates 16. Releasing the handle 22 allows the pressure plate 23 to fix the wafer in place under the force of the spring 21, making it more stable during cleaning and less susceptible to damage from impacts caused by the movement of the cleaning agent.
