[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in this embodiment, a wafer pick-up and placement imaging mechanism for a dicing machine includes a pick-up and placement assembly and a silicon wafer conveying track 1. The pick-up and placement assembly includes a transverse pick-up and placement module 2, a silicon wafer lifting module 3, and a paper-separating lifting module 4. A paper-separating gripping plate 5 and a silicon wafer gripping plate 6 are installed on the drive end of the transverse pick-up and placement module 2. A silicon wafer cassette 7 is connected to the drive end of the silicon wafer lifting module 3, and a paper-separating cassette 8 is connected to the drive end of the paper-separating lifting module 4. A silicon wafer clamping motor 9 is installed below the middle of the silicon wafer conveying track 1. A clamping synchronous wheel 10 is connected to the drive end of the silicon wafer clamping motor 9. A clamping synchronous belt 11 is connected to the clamping synchronous wheel 10. A clamping arm 12 is installed on the clamping synchronous belt 11. The two clamping arms 12 are located on both sides of the silicon wafer conveying track 1. A pick-up and placement detection light source 13 is installed below the rear end of the silicon wafer conveying track 1, and a pick-up and placement detection camera 14 is installed above the rear end of the silicon wafer conveying track 1.

[0026] Inside the silicon wafer cassette 7, silicon wafers and spacers are stacked alternately to effectively protect them from scratching each other. The horizontal transfer module 2 synchronously controls the spacer gripping plate 5 and the silicon wafer gripping plate 6 to move left and right, placing the gripped silicon wafers into the silicon wafer conveying track 1. At this time, the spacer gripping plate 5 also moves to the silicon wafer cassette 7 to grip the spacers. When the spacer gripping plate 5 puts the spacers back into the spacer cassette 8, the silicon wafer gripping plate 6 also returns to the silicon wafer cassette 7 to grip the silicon wafers, performing intermittent processing through reciprocating motion.

[0027] The silicon wafer on the silicon wafer transport track 1 moves backward, and the silicon wafer clamping plate motor 9 controls the clamping plate synchronous wheel 10 to rotate, so that the clamping plate synchronous belt 11 drives the clamping plate arm 12 to move closer to the middle of the silicon wafer transport track 1, and straighten the tilted and offset silicon wafer, so that when it is above the pick-up and place detection light source 13, the pick-up and place detection camera 14 can perform fragment detection and position detection on the silicon wafer.

[0028] The four sides of the separator grabbing plate 5 are provided with separator suction nozzles 15, and the four sides of the silicon wafer grabbing plate 6 are provided with back-blowing nozzles 16. When the silicon wafer and the separator are grabbed, the separator is sucked up by the suction nozzles, and the back-blowing nozzles 16 blow the separator downward to prevent the silicon wafers from being stacked.

[0029] The driving ends of the separator lifting cylinder 17 and the silicon wafer lifting cylinder 18 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the driving end of the transverse moving pick-and-place module 2. The driving end of the separator lifting cylinder 17 is connected with the separator grabbing plate 5, and the driving end of the silicon wafer lifting cylinder 18 is connected with the silicon wafer grabbing plate 6. In order to ensure that the current other structures are not affected when the separator and the silicon wafer are grabbed each time, the separator lifting cylinder 17 is used to control the separator grabbing plate 5 to put down the separator to the separator box 8, and the silicon wafer lifting cylinder 18 is used to control the silicon wafer grabbing plate 6 to put down the silicon wafer to the silicon wafer conveying track 1.

[0030] The middle part of the silicon wafer conveying track 1 is provided with an anti-stacking sensor 19. The anti-stacking sensor 19 is used to detect whether the silicon wafers are stacked or not, and whether the separator is attached or not, so as to ensure that the subsequent photographing function can be smoothly performed.

[0031] The clamping plate guide wheels 20 are arranged on the clamping plate arms 12 along the front-to-back direction. When the clamping plate arms 12 are close to each other, the clamping plate guide wheels 20 reduce the hard contact between the clamping plate arms 12 and the side edges of the silicon wafers, thereby protecting the integrity of the silicon wafers.

[0032] The rear end of the silicon wafer conveying track 1 is provided with a pick-and-place limiting arm 21. The pick-and-place limiting arm 21 moves along the front-to-back direction. The pick-and-place cylinder 22 is fixed on the silicon wafer conveying track 1. The driving end of the pick-and-place cylinder 22 is connected with the lower end of the pick-and-place limiting arm 21. Under the action of the pick-and-place cylinder 22, the pick-and-place limiting arm 21 retreats, and the position of the silicon wafer is fixed at a position where the image can be photographed.

[0033] The track wheels 23 are rotatably connected to the silicon wafer conveying track 1. The track belts 24 are transmissionally connected between the track wheels 23. The track belts 24 are located on the two sides of the silicon wafer conveying track 1. In the conveying process of the silicon wafer conveying track 1, the rotating track wheels 23 control the track belts 24 to move, thereby driving the silicon wafers to move forward in parallel.

[0034] The modules involved in the present application are all linear modules.

[0035] It should be stated that the above specific embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and the technical principles applied, and any changes or replacements easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical range disclosed by the present application should be covered in the protection range of the present application.
