[0014] 2. After the wafer body is placed between the two clamping plates, the first drive motor pushes the first moving rod to move the clamping plates toward the outer wall of the wafer body until the grinding blade touches the outer wall of the wafer body and grinds it. This process is more automated and more efficient.

[0015] 3. When the wafer body approaches the polishing assembly, the second rotary motor is started, driving the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw drives the moving plate to move until the moving plate is aligned above the wafer body. Then, the second drive motor is started, driving the moving stage downward until the vacuum chuck approaches the wafer body and picks it up. The device has an internal drive unit (not shown) to drive the vacuum chuck. After picking up the wafer body, it is placed above the polishing assembly and then moved between the two side clamps. After the polishing blade contacts the outer wall of the wafer body, the first rotary motor starts, driving the wafer body to rotate, which facilitates rapid polishing of the outer circumference of the wafer body, resulting in higher automation and efficiency.

A horizontal plate 3 is arranged between the columns 2. A groove 4 is provided at one end of the workbench 1 near the left column 2. Multiple electric rollers 5 are distributed in the groove 4. A wafer body 6 is placed on the electric roller 5 and moved by it. The wafer body 6 is placed on the electric roller 5 in sequence. Each electric roller 5 is equipped with a drive component to drive it to rotate. Each electric roller 5 drives the wafer body 6 to move towards the polishing component 7, which is more automated and more efficient.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-2The worktable 1 has a polishing assembly 7 near the right column 2 for clamping and polishing the wafer body 6. Both the electric roller and the polishing assembly 7 are positioned between the four columns 2. The polishing assembly 7 includes two slide rails 701 symmetrically distributed on the worktable 1, with space between them. A clamping plate 702, moving along the slide rails 701, is placed on each slide rail 701. The clamping plate 702 is arc-shaped with the wafer body 6 concentric with it. A polishing blade 703 is positioned on the side of the clamping plate 702 facing the wafer body 6. The grinding assembly 7 also includes a first drive motor 704 mounted on the worktable 1. The first drive motor 704 is positioned toward the clamping plate 702 and drives the clamping plate 702 to move toward the wafer body 6. A first moving rod 705 is provided on the side of the first drive motor 704 facing the clamping plate 702. When the wafer body 6 is placed between the two clamping plates 702, the first drive motor 704 pushes the first moving rod 705 to move the clamping plate 702 toward the outer wall of the wafer body 6 until the grinding blade 703 touches the outer wall of the wafer body 6 to grind it. This results in higher automation and higher efficiency.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 The horizontal plate 3 is equipped with a moving component 9 that drives the picking component 8 to move laterally. The moving component 9 includes a second rotating motor 901 set on one side of the horizontal plate 3.

The lead screw 902 is equipped with a moving plate 904. Both sides of the moving plate 904 are sleeved on the limiting rods 903. The second drive motor 806 is set on the moving plate 904.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-2 The horizontal plate 3 is provided with a picking component 8 for picking up and moving the wafer body 6. The picking component 8 includes a moving stage 801 located below the horizontal plate 3. The center of the bottom of the moving stage 801 is provided with a downward-through rotating groove 802. The rotating stage 803 is placed in the rotating groove 802. The center of the top of the moving stage 801 is provided with a first rotating motor 804 that drives the rotating stage 803 to rotate. Below the rotating stage 803 are multiple vacuum suction cups 805 for picking up the wafer body 6. Above the horizontal plate 3 are two second drive motors 806 symmetrically distributed around the center of the moving stage 801. Below the horizontal plate 3 are two second moving rods 807 that are driven up and down by the second drive motors 806. The bottom of the second moving rods 807 is connected to the top of the moving stage 801.

[0026] When the wafer body 6 approaches the polishing assembly 7, the second rotary motor 901 is started, driving the lead screw 902 to rotate. The lead screw 902 drives the moving plate 904 to move until the moving plate 904 is aligned above the wafer body 6. Then, the second drive motor 806 is started, driving the moving stage 801 to move downwards until the vacuum chuck 805 approaches the wafer body 6 and picks it up. The device has a drive device (not shown) that drives the vacuum chuck 805. After picking up the wafer body 6, it is placed above the polishing assembly 7 and then moved between the two clamping plates 702. After the polishing blade 703 contacts the outer wall of the wafer body 6, the first rotary motor 804 starts, driving the wafer body 6 to rotate, which facilitates rapid polishing of the outer peripheral surface of the wafer body 6, resulting in higher automation and efficiency.
