[0027] This application provides an inserter. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the chip inserter provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This illustration shows another structural diagram of the chip inserter provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the structure of a portion of the drive unit for the chip inserter provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the chip inserter includes a conveying unit and a chip pushing unit.
[0028] The transfer unit includes a working slot 110, a worktable 120, and a suction cup mechanism; the worktable 120 is mounted in a first position in the working slot 110, and the silicon wafer to be inserted is transferred into the working slot 110; the suction cup mechanism includes a suction cup 131 and a first driving device for driving the suction cup 131 to move; the first driving device drives the suction cup 131 to pick up the silicon wafer from the working slot 110 and transfer the silicon wafer to the worktable 120.
[0029] The working slot 110 is a slot with an opening, resembling a trough, for performing wafer insertion operations, so that silicon wafers can be manipulated and processed from above the working slot 110. The two sides of the working slot 110 extending in the direction of extension may be open for docking with a silicon wafer conveyor, allowing a conveyor belt to transport silicon wafers into the working slot 110.
[0030] In this embodiment, a suction cup 131 is used to pick up the silicon wafer, so as to pick up the silicon wafer in the working slot 110 onto the worktable 120.
[0031] The wafer pushing unit includes a basket (not shown in the figure), a pusher plate 210, and a second driving device. The pusher plate 210 is located close to the worktable 120, and the basket is located on the side of the worktable 120 opposite to the pusher plate 210. The second driving device drives the pusher plate 210 to move toward the basket to push the silicon wafer on the worktable 120 into the basket.
[0032] The flower basket is a device for receiving silicon wafers; the pusher plate 210 is positioned close to the worktable 120 to push the silicon wafers on the worktable 120 toward the flower basket and into the flower basket.
[0033] The workbench 120 can perform inspection on silicon wafers. Qualified silicon wafers are pushed into the basket, while unqualified silicon wafers are processed separately and are not pushed into the basket by the pusher plate 210.
[0034] In this embodiment, silicon wafers are transported via a conveying unit, and after the wafers have been processed on the workbench 120, they are pushed into the basket, thus completing the automatic insertion of the silicon wafers into the basket. This device has a simple structure and occupies little space.
[0035] In one embodiment, the first driving device includes a lead screw 132, a first rack 133, a first motor 134, a connecting block 135, and a telescopic cylinder 136. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lead screw 132 and the first rack 133 are arranged in parallel and both are mounted above the working groove 110, and the extension directions of the lead screw 132 and the first rack 133 are parallel to the extension direction of the working groove 110. The connecting block 135 meshes with the lead screw 132 and is connected between the telescopic cylinder 136 and the first motor 134. The output shaft of the first motor 134 meshes with the first rack 133, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 136 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 131.
[0036] The first motor 134 starts, and its output shaft rotates. Based on its meshing with the first rack 133, the first motor 134 moves along the extension direction of the first rack 133. The first motor 134 is connected to the connecting block 135, so that the first motor 134 drives the connecting block 135 to move. The connecting block 135 is fixed to the telescopic cylinder 136, which drives the telescopic cylinder 136 to move. The telescopic cylinder 136 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 131. The telescopic cylinder 136 can adjust the height of the suction cup 131 so that the movement of the telescopic cylinder 136 can drive the suction cup 131 to move, and adjust the height of the suction cup 131 so that the suction cup 131 can pick up the silicon wafer from the working slot 110 and then place the silicon wafer onto the worktable 120.
[0037] In one example, the suction cup 131 can be a pneumatic suction cup. When suction is applied, the suction cup 131 picks up the silicon wafer, and when the suction is released, the suction cup 131 releases the silicon wafer. The suction cup 131 picks up the silicon wafer and, driven by the first motor 134, moves the silicon wafer along the working groove 110 to the worktable 120.
[0038] In one embodiment, the pusher unit further includes a clamping member 220, which clamps the pusher plate 210 from both sides; a second driving device drives the clamping member 220 to move; the second driving device includes a first connecting rod 231, a second connecting rod 232 and a third connecting rod 233; the first connecting rod 231 and the second connecting rod 232 are rotatably connected and rotatably connected to the clamping member 220; the second connecting rod 232 is fixedly connected to the three-bar linkage, and the third connecting rod 233 is perpendicular to the extension line of the second connecting rod 232.
[0039] The pusher plate 210 requires a second drive unit to move it, thus pushing the silicon wafer off the worktable 120 and onto the basket.
[0040] By clamping the push plate 210 from both sides, the drive clamp 220 can drive the push plate 210. The clamp 220 is fixedly connected to the push plate 210, and exemplarily, it can be fixed to the end of the push plate 210 opposite to the worktable 120.
[0041] The external structure of the clamping member 220 can be adapted to the second drive device.
[0042] In the second drive unit, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotation of the third link 233 drives the second link 232 to perform circular motion. Simultaneously, the circular motion of the second link 232 drives the first link 231 to reciprocate along the pushing direction of the push plate 210, thereby driving the clamping member 220 to reciprocate. During the reciprocating motion of the clamping member 220, as it moves towards the worktable 120, it drives the push plate 210 to move towards the worktable 120, pushing the silicon wafer out and into the basket. The height of the push plate 210 is adapted to the height of the worktable 120.
[0043] In this embodiment, the rotation of the third link 233 drives the clamping member 220 to move, thereby moving the push plate 210. This is achieved through mechanical drive, which is simple, consumes little power, requires no large mechanical parts, and makes the mechanical operation readily apparent.
[0044] In one embodiment, the second drive unit further includes a first transmission belt 234 ( Figure 1(omitted), first roller 235 and support rod 236; support rod 236 is fixedly connected to working groove 110 and extends in a direction perpendicular to working groove 110; first roller 235 is mounted on the end of support rod 236 away from working groove 110, and third connecting rod 233 passes through support rod 236 and is fixedly connected to first roller 235; first conveyor belt 234 is sleeved on lead screw 132 and first roller 235.
[0045] In the example above, driving the third link 233 to rotate enables the pusher plate 210 to automatically push the silicon wafer into the basket. It can be seen that the rotation of the third link 233 can be achieved using a motor.
[0046] In this embodiment, instead of using a motor to drive the third link 233 to rotate, the second drive device is driven by the driving force of the first drive device. This reduces the number of motors and energy consumption, while also achieving synchronous cooperation between the suction cup 131 and the push plate 210.
[0047] The third link 233 is fixedly connected to the first roller 235. When the first motor 134 is started, the connecting block 135 drives the lead screw 132 to rotate. The first conveyor belt 234 is started under the drive of the lead screw 132 and drives the first roller 235 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the third link 233.
[0048] In one example, the lead screw 132 is threaded, and the pitch, the length of the second connecting rod 232, the length of the first connecting rod 231, and the stroke of the push plate 210 are coordinated so that when the suction cup 131 moves from the working slot 110 to the worktable 120, the push plate 210 just returns to the position close to the wafer pusher; the suction cup 131 continues to move toward the working slot 110, and the push plate 210 pushes the silicon wafer forward; the suction cup 131 retracts and returns to the initial position, and the push plate 210 returns to the position of pushing out the silicon wafer after one or an integer number of reciprocations; the suction cup 131 moves again to the middle of the worktable 120, and the push plate 210 moves away from the worktable 120 until one end of the push plate 210 away from the clamping member 220 is close to the worktable 120, the suction cup 131 drops the silicon wafer into the worktable 120, and continues to move forward, so that the push plate 210 pushes out the silicon wafer.
[0049] In this embodiment, the third link 233 is driven by the cooperation of mechanical components, which reduces energy consumption. Furthermore, based on the cooperation of the parameters of the mechanical components, the suction cup 131 and the push plate 210 are synchronized. It is not necessary to determine the timing of the push plate 210's ejection by receiving signals or sending commands, which reduces communication control and further saves costs.
[0050] In one embodiment, the pusher unit further includes a pusher table 240; a pusher plate 210 is located above the pusher table 240 and is slidably connected to the pusher table 240.
[0051] In this embodiment, the pusher plate 210 is disposed on the pusher table 240 and is slidably connected to the pusher table 240, so that the pusher plate 210 has a stable height and pushes the silicon wafer more smoothly and stably. The height of the pusher table 240 can be adapted to the height of the worktable 120, thus avoiding the need for adjusting the height of the pusher plate 210.
[0052] In one embodiment, the pusher unit further includes a limiting plate (not shown in the figure); the limiting plate is fixedly installed above the pusher table 240; the limiting plate limits the height at which the pusher plate 210 moves.
[0053] The limiting plate is set above the push plate 210 and is fixedly installed on the push table 240. The limiting plate limits the height of the push plate 210, which can prevent dust from falling on the push plate 210 and affecting the cleanliness of the silicon wafer. At the same time, it can prevent the push plate 210 from being too high and making it difficult to contact the silicon wafer.
[0054] In one embodiment, the workbench 120 includes a frame 121, a work panel 122, and two support tables 123. The two support tables 123 are mounted on the frame 121 and support the work panel 122 from opposite sides of the work panel 122.
[0055] In this embodiment, the surface of the work panel 122 forms the surface of the worktable 120, and the silicon wafer is placed on the surface of the work panel 122 when it is placed into the worktable 120. The work panel 122 is supported by two support platforms 123 on both sides. The two support platforms 123 are distributed along the extension direction of the work slot 110, supporting the work panel 122 from both sides. The support platform 123 frame 121 is mounted on the platform 121 for fixation.
[0056] This embodiment of the application uses two support platforms 123 to lift the work panel 122 from both sides, which allows the work panel 122 to be disassembled and replaced, preventing damage to the silicon wafer in the event of breakage of the work panel 122. This improves the service life of the wafer insertion machine.
[0057] The two support platforms 123 can be plate-shaped, with their length direction parallel to the direction in which the pusher plate 210 pushes out the silicon wafer.
[0058] In one embodiment, the side of the work panel 122 relative to the push plate 210 is rotatably connected to the frame 121; the worktable 120 also includes a rotating mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft 124 and a third driving device; the support 123 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 124; the rotating shaft 124 is mounted on the frame 121; the third driving device drives the rotating shaft 124 to rotate.
[0059] The work panel 122 is rotatably connected to the frame 121, and the support platform 123 is rotatably connected to the frame 121. When the support platforms 123 on both sides rotate downwards, the work panel 122 loses its support and forms a slope, causing the silicon wafers on the work panel 122 to slide down the slope to the bottom of the push table 240.
[0060] In one example, the pusher 240 and the box-type structure have an opening on the side facing the worktable 120, allowing the silicon wafer sliding down the work panel 122 to slide into the bottom plate 241 of the box.
[0061] In one example, a detection device for detecting whether silicon wafers are qualified is provided on or below the work panel 122. If the detection device detects that the silicon wafer is qualified, the push plate 210 pushes the silicon wafer out to the basket; if the detection device detects that the silicon wafer is unqualified, the support platform 123 rotates downward, the work panel 122 forms a ramp, and the silicon wafer slides down into the box to collect the unqualified silicon wafer.
[0062] In one example, a perforation 1201 can be provided on the working panel 122, and the detection device can be disposed within the perforation 1201 and kept flush with the working panel 122; or the detection device can be disposed below the working panel 122 and collect information based on the orientation of the perforation 1201 toward the silicon wafer to detect whether the silicon wafer is qualified.
[0063] The wafer insertion machine provided in this application embodiment can perform wafer insertion and can also accommodate unqualified silicon wafers. It has a simple structure, requires no extra energy consumption, and does not occupy extra space. The wafer insertion machine has comprehensive functions and can handle a full range of tasks.
[0064] In one embodiment, the third drive device includes a second motor (not shown), a second roller 1252, and a second transmission belt 1251; the second transmission belt 1251 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 124 and the second roller 1252, and the second motor drives the second roller 1252 to rotate.
[0065] The second motor starts, driving the second roller 1252 to rotate, which in turn drives the second conveyor belt 1251 to rotate. The second conveyor belt 1251 drives the rotating shaft 124 to rotate, thereby causing the support platform 123 to rotate downwards, so that the working panel 122 forms a slope.
[0066] The second motor can be started manually or according to a control command. Upon receiving the detection result from the detection device, a control command is issued to make the second motor rotate.
[0067] In one embodiment, the worktable 120 further includes an alignment mechanism, which includes an alignment plate 1261, a second rack 1262, and a gear 1263 meshing with the second rack 1262; a third roller 1264 of the gear 1263 is mounted on the frame 121; at least one end of the alignment plate 1261 is fixedly connected to the second rack 1262; and the other end of the alignment plate 1261 is rotatably connected to the support table 123.
[0068] Gear 1263 can be driven by a third motor, which, when rotating, drives the rack to move along the direction extending from the working groove 110. At least one end of the alignment plate 1261 is fixedly connected to the second rack 1262. The alignment plate 1261 can be fixed to the side of the rack flush with it, i.e., the side that does not mesh with the gear 1263. The fixed connection between the alignment plate 1261 and the rack can be achieved through other intermediate parts, so that the alignment plate 1261 is positioned appropriately above the support 123. The other end of the alignment plate 1261 is rotatably connected to the support 123. This rotatable connection can be a horizontal rotation, i.e., it does not affect the rotation of the alignment plate 1261 as it moves with the second rack 1262.
[0069] The alignment plates 1261 on both sides of the working panel 122 rotate to face each other, so that the position of the silicon wafer on the working panel 122 is aligned with the basket, which facilitates the pusher plate 210 to push out the silicon wafer. The height of the alignment plate 1261 can be in contact with the working panel 122, or it can be at the same height as the working panel 122 but not in contact, but the height difference is less than half the thickness of the silicon wafer.
[0070] In one example, the central portion of the alignment plate 1261 protrudes beyond the sides, allowing the central portion to push the silicon wafer to maintain alignment, while the side portions are recessed inward to avoid affecting the rotation of the work panel 122. The work panel 122 is mounted on the stage 123 and may not extend beyond the side portions of the alignment plate 1261 to prevent the side portions from obstructing the rotation of the work panel 122. The work panel 122 is mounted on the stage 123 and may extend beyond the central portion of the alignment plate 1261 so that the central portion can be on the work panel 122 to process the silicon wafer.
