[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 The silicon wafer cache acceleration mechanism includes a back plate 2 and two support baskets 5. Side plates 1 are integrally formed at both ends of the back plate 2. A lead screw 4 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 1. One side plate 1 has a power component that drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. A first slide 6 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 4. A slide rod 13 is bolted between the bottoms of the two side plates 1. A second slide 7 is slidably connected to the outer side of the slide rod 13. A connecting plate 8 is bolted to the top of the second slide 7 and the bottom of the first slide 6. Multiple second fixing strips 11 are bolted to the surface of plate 8. T-slots 12 are formed inside the second fixing strips 11. Two first fixing strips 9 are bolted to the top and bottom outer walls of the carrying basket 5. A T-slot 10 is bolted to one side of each of the two first fixing strips 9, and the T-slot 12 is slidably connected to the T-slot 10. The cooperation between the T-slot 12 and the T-slot 10 allows the carrying basket 5 to move stably and facilitates the positioning and installation of the carrying basket 5 by the robotic arm. Two first vertical plates 14 are fixed between the connecting plates 8 by bolts. A detachable fixing component is provided between the carrying basket 5 and the first vertical plates 14. First, the device is fixed to the external lifting device and the device is aligned with the end of the conveyor belt. At this time, the carrying basket 5 away from the power component docks with the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt conveys the silicon wafers into the slots of the carrying basket 5. The external lifting device drives the entire device to move upward, so that the conveyor belt conveys the silicon wafers to different slot positions of the carrying basket 5 until the carrying basket 5 is full of silicon wafers. Then, the power component drives the lead screw 4 to move the first slide 6, so that the carrying basket 5 moves to the right along the slide rod 13 via the second slide 7, so that the carrying basket 5 near the power component docks with the conveyor belt. The above operation is repeated until the carrying basket 5 is full of silicon wafers. During the process of loading silicon wafers into this carrying basket 5, the robot pulls the carrying basket 5 away from the motor 3, so that the T-shaped strip 10 slides along the T-shaped groove 12 until the T-shaped strip 10 separates from the T-shaped groove 12, thus completing the disassembly of the carrying basket 5 for easy replacement.

[0022] In this utility model, it should be noted that the power component is a motor 3, which is fixed to one side of the side plate 1 by bolts. One end of the output shaft of the motor 3 is fixed to the lead screw 4. The rotation of the motor 3 causes the lead screw 4 to rotate. The fixing component includes a first magnetic block 16, which is fixed to one side of the first vertical plate 14 by bolts. A second vertical plate 15 is fixed to one side of the carrying basket 5 by bolts. A second magnetic block 17 is fixed to the back of the second vertical plate 15 by bolts. The first magnetic block 16 and the second magnetic block 17 are in contact. Through the cooperation of the first magnetic block 16 and the second magnetic block 17, the carrying basket 5 is stably fixed between the connecting plates 8, and at the same time, it is convenient for the robot to disassemble the carrying basket 5. A reinforcing block is fixed to one side of the side plate 1 by bolts, and the reinforcing block is fixed to the outer shell of the motor 3. The reinforcing block makes the connection between the motor 3 and the side plate 1 more secure. Multiple fixing ears are fixed to the back of the back plate 2 by bolts.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the device is fixed on the external lifting device and aligned with the end of the conveyor belt. At this time, the carrying basket 5 away from the motor 3 is connected to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the silicon wafers into the slots of the carrying basket 5. The external lifting device drives the entire device to move upward, thereby allowing the conveyor belt to transport the silicon wafers to different slot positions in the carrying basket 5 until the carrying basket 5 is full of silicon wafers. Then, the motor 3 is started. The rotation of the motor 3 causes the lead screw 4 to move the first slide 6, thereby allowing the carrying basket 5 to move to the right along the slide rod 13 via the second slide 7, thereby allowing the carrying basket 5 near the motor 3 to connect with the conveyor belt. The above operation is repeated until this carrying basket 5 is full of silicon wafers. During the process of loading silicon wafers into this carrying basket 5, the external robotic arm pulls the carrying basket 5 away from the motor 3, causing the T-shaped strip 10 to slide along the T-shaped groove 12 until the T-shaped strip 10 separates from the T-shaped groove 12. At the same time, the second magnetic block 17 separates from the first magnetic block 16, thereby completing the disassembly of the carrying basket 5 for easy replacement.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "connection," and "socketing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral constructions; they can refer to mechanical or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
