The top of the U-shaped frame has four first sliding grooves, and the four racks are respectively disposed in the four sliding grooves and slide in contact with the U-shaped frame. The first sliding grooves can effectively limit the racks and prevent the racks from disengaging from the first gears.
[0007] Preferably, the four racks are arranged in pairs, and a closed door panel is fixedly installed between the two groups of racks. The four first slide grooves are arranged in pairs, and a second slide groove is formed between the two groups of first slide grooves. The two closed door panels are respectively disposed inside the two second slide grooves and slide in contact with the U-shaped frame.
[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on one side of one of the first fixing seats, and the output end of the motor passes through one of the first fixing seats and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts.
[0009] Preferably, a second fixing seat is fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped frame, a first sprocket is fixedly installed on the outer side of each of the two rotating shafts, and two second sprockets are rotatably installed on one side of the second fixing seat. A chain is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two first sprockets and the two second sprockets respectively.
[0010] Preferably, two No. 2 gears are rotatably mounted on the other side of the No. 2 fixed base. The two No. 2 gears mesh with each other. A connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on one side of each of the two No. 2 gears.

The output end of the second motor passes through one side of the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating columns. The flipping frame is provided with several circular slots to ensure that water stains will not remain on the flipping frame due to moisture on the other side of the wafer.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This application uses a No. 1 motor to drive two closed door panels to move upward, thereby opening and closing the U-shaped frame. At this time, the subsequently damp wafers will enter the U-shaped frame from one side for drying, while the previously dried wafers will be conveyed out from the other side of the U-shaped frame and then enter the collection box for unified collection.

This allows the device to be continuously automated, effectively improving the convenience of using the device.
[0014] 2. This application uses a second motor to drive one of the rotating columns to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping frame to rotate, causing the wafers inside the flipping frame to flip over so that the wafers are set up with their reverse side facing up. Then, the wafers will slide from the inside of the flipping frame to the top of the conveyor belt and be transported to the bottom of another drying fan for drying on the other side, thereby completing the full drying of the wafers and preventing the wafers from being not dried and still damp and needing to be dried again, thus ensuring the effectiveness of the device.

[0024] Two rotating shafts 7 are fixedly installed with a first gear 8 near both ends on their outer sides. The outer sides of the four first gears 8 are meshed with racks 9. The top of the U-shaped frame 4 has four first sliding grooves. The four racks 9 are respectively set in the four sliding grooves and slide in contact with the U-shaped frame 4.
[0025] Four racks 9 are arranged in pairs, and a closed door panel 10 is fixedly installed between the two sets of racks 9. Four first slide grooves are arranged in pairs, and a second slide groove is formed between the two sets of first slide grooves. The two closed door panels 10 are respectively set inside the two second slide grooves and slide in contact with the U-shaped frame 4.
[0026] One of the fixed bases 6 has a motor 11 fixedly installed on one side. The output end of the motor 11 passes through one of the fixed bases 6 and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 7.
[0027] The top of the U-shaped frame 4 is fixedly installed with a second fixed seat 12, and the outer sides of the two rotating shafts 7 are fixedly installed with a first sprocket 13. Two second sprockets 14 are rotatably installed on one side of the second fixed seat 12. The outer sides of the two first sprockets 13 and the two second sprockets 14 are respectively fitted with chains 15.
[0028] Two No. 2 gears 16 are rotatably mounted on the other side of the No. 2 fixed base 12. The two No. 2 gears 16 mesh with each other. A connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on one side of each of the two No. 2 gears 16. One end of each connecting shaft passes through the No. 2 fixed base 12 and is rotatably connected to the No. 2 fixed base 12. One end of each connecting shaft is fixedly connected to two No. 2 sprockets 14 respectively.
[0029] The inner side of the U-shaped frame 4 is provided with a flipping structure, which includes two rotating columns 17. The two rotating columns 17 are rotatably installed on both sides of the inner side of the U-shaped frame 4. A flipping frame 18 is fixedly installed between the two rotating columns 17. A second motor 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 4. The output end of the second motor 19 passes through one side of the U-shaped frame 4 and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating columns 17.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is a wafer cleaning and dehydration drying device. In use, the cleaned wafers are placed on conveyor belt 2, and then transported to the U-shaped frame 4 via conveyor belt 2. Once the wafers are inside the U-shaped frame 4, two drying fans 5 are activated, supplying hot drying air to the inside of the U-shaped frame 4. Then, motor 11 is activated. The specific model of motor 11 is not described here, but depends on the compatible equipment. Motor 11 drives one of the rotating shafts 7 to rotate, thereby driving one of the first sprockets 13 to rotate, which in turn drives one of the second sprockets 13 via a chain 15. The rotation of sprocket 14 drives one of the second gears 16 to rotate via one of the connecting shafts, which in turn drives another second gear 16 to mesh and rotate. This drives another second sprocket 14 to rotate via another connecting shaft, which in turn drives another first sprocket 13 to rotate via another chain 15. This causes another rotating shaft 7 to rotate. As the two rotating shafts 7 rotate, they drive the four first gears 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the four racks 9 to mesh and move. This causes the two enclosed door plates 10 to close the U-shaped frame 4, ensuring that the temperature inside the U-shaped frame 4 does not dissipate when drying the wafer, thus ensuring the drying effect of the wafer.
[0031] When the wafer is conveyed to the bottom of one of the drying fans 5, one side of the wafer is dried. Then the wafer continues to be conveyed and moves. When it moves to the position of the flipping frame 18, it is conveyed to the inside of the flipping frame 18 by the conveyor belt 2. Then the second motor 19 is started. The model of the second motor 19 is not specifically described, but depends on the compatible equipment. The second motor 19 drives one of the rotating columns 17 to rotate, thereby driving the flipping frame 18 to rotate as well. This causes the wafer inside the flipping frame 18 to flip with the flipping frame 18, so that the wafer is set up with the reverse side. Then the wafer slides from the inside of the flipping frame 18 to the top of the conveyor belt 2 and is conveyed to the bottom position of the other drying fan 5 for drying on the other side. This completes the drying of the wafer and prevents the wafer from being not dried and still damp, requiring re-drying. This ensures the effectiveness of the device.
[0032] Once drying is complete, motor 11 will drive the two closed door panels 10 to move upwards, thereby opening and closing the U-shaped frame 4. At this time, the subsequently damp wafers will enter the U-shaped frame 4 from one side for drying, while the previously dried wafers will be conveyed out from the other side of the U-shaped frame 4 and then enter the collection box 3 for unified collection. This enables continuous operation of the device, eliminating the need for staff to manually collect the wafers each time, allowing the device to be continuously automated and effectively improving the ease of use of the device.
