[0021] Therefore, by setting the placing table composed of the mounting base plate 1, the mounting guide rail 2, the containing table 3, the driving assembly 4 and the clamping assembly 5, different specifications and sizes of wafers can be fixed, so that the wafers are not easy to move under external force when placed on the support table 8, thereby ensuring that the wafers can be normally detected, the detection result is not easy to deviate, and the wafers have high detection efficiency.

[0022] Further, the upper end of the mounting base plate 1 is fixedly provided with an L-shaped mounting frame 6, the base column 7 on the containing table 3 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the mounting base plate 1, two sliding grooves 10 are formed on the outer wall of the support table 8 and penetrate the support table 8, a ring-shaped groove 9 is formed on the base column 7 on the containing table 3, the driving cylinder 12 on the driving assembly 4 is fixedly provided on the L-shaped mounting frame 6, the rack 13 is located below the support table 8 on the containing table 3, the transmission gear ring 16 is rotatably provided in the L-shaped groove 9 formed on the base column 7, the L-shaped support rod 14 on the clamping assembly 5 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the rack 13, and the lower end of the rubber air bag 15 has the same height as the upper end of the support table 8. When it is needed to clamp and fix the wafer on the upper end of the support table 8 by the clamping assembly 5, the driving cylinder 12 on the driving assembly 4 can be started, so that the piston rod of the driving cylinder 12 pushes one of the sliding blocks 11 to slide on one of the mounting guide rails 2. At this time, the sliding block 11 drives the rack 13 fixedly provided thereon to move, and the rack 13 drives the transmission gear ring 16 to rotate on the base column 7. Then, the transmission gear ring 16 drives the other rack 13 and the sliding block 11 to move, so that the two clamping assemblies 5 on the two racks 13 move close to each other. Finally, the L-shaped support rod 14 on the clamping assembly 5 moves into the sliding groove 10, and the rubber air bag 15 contacts the wafer. At this time, the wafer is clamped and fixed. Conversely, when it is needed to release the fixation of the wafer, the piston rod of the driving cylinder 12 can be used to pull one of the sliding blocks 11 and the rack 13. At this time, the rack 13 drives the transmission gear ring 16 to rotate reversely on the base column 7, and the transmission gear ring 16 drives the other rack 13 and the sliding block 11 to move reversely. Finally, under the driving of the two racks 13, the two clamping assemblies 5 move away from each other.
