[0002] In semiconductor packaging and testing, chip unpacking is a crucial step in obtaining internal chip information. However, the unpacked chip surface often contains residual packaging material, dust, and other contaminants, which can severely impact subsequent testing and analysis. Traditional manual cleaning methods are not only inefficient but also struggle to guarantee consistent and thorough cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning, due to its high efficiency and ability to reach all areas, has been widely adopted in the semiconductor cleaning field. However, how to combine ultrasonic cleaning with the automated operation of chip unpacking machines to achieve automatic rotational cleaning of chips remains a pressing problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic rotating chip ultrasonic cleaning mechanism for chip unpacking machines, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an automatic rotating chip ultrasonic cleaning mechanism for a chip unpacking machine, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning chamber, and including...

[0005] Pneumatic grippers are rotatably mounted inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber to hold the chip and make it rotate.

[0006] A servo motor is located on one side of the pneumatic gripper and is used to drive the pneumatic gripper to rotate.

[0007] A water pump is connected to the outer surface of the ultrasonic cleaning box and is used to draw water from inside the ultrasonic cleaning box. The water outlet of the water pump is connected to a nozzle, and the water suction end of the water pump is connected to a filter cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the filter cylinder is provided with filter screens and filter plate bodies at equal intervals along the axial direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the water inlet end of the filter cartridge is connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe extends into the ultrasonic cleaning chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting base is connected to one side of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and a first telescopic cylinder is connected to the mounting base. The first telescopic cylinder is used to control the pneumatic gripper to slide along the length direction of the ultrasonic cleaning box.

[0011] Furthermore, the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder is connected to a second telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder is connected to a mounting bracket. The pneumatic gripper and the servo motor are respectively connected to both sides of the mounting bracket. The second telescopic cylinder is used to control the pneumatic gripper to slide along the height direction of the ultrasonic cleaning box.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixed frame is connected to one side of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and a microcomputer controller is connected to the fixed frame. The microcomputer controller is used to control the pneumatic gripper, servo motor, water pump, first telescopic cylinder and second telescopic cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, both the servo motor and the pneumatic gripper are fitted with waterproof sleeves.

[0014] Furthermore, the water outlet of the water pump is connected to the nozzle via a corrugated pipe, and a snap-fit ​​block is connected to the ultrasonic cleaning box to limit the nozzle position.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. Pneumatic grippers hold the chip, ensuring its stability during the cleaning process. Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes the impact force generated by cavitation bubbles to effectively remove dirt from the chip surface. A servo motor drives the pneumatic grippers to rotate, ensuring that all surfaces of the chip can fully contact the ultrasonic cleaning environment, achieving all-round, no-dead-angle cleaning and improving the cleaning effect.

[0017] 2. The use of a water pump to circulate and transport the cleaning solution effectively reduces the consumption of the cleaning solution. By filtering and recycling the wastewater, the frequent replacement of large amounts of cleaning solution is avoided, saving costs. At the same time, the cleaning solution is continuously filtered through the filter tank to ensure the subsequent cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic rotating chip ultrasonic cleaning mechanism for a chip unpacking machine, including an ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1, comprising...

[0026] The pneumatic gripper 2 is rotatably mounted inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 and is used to hold the chip and make it rotate.

[0027] Servo motor 3 is located on one side of pneumatic gripper 2 and is used to drive pneumatic gripper 2 to rotate;

[0028] Water pump 4 is connected to the outer surface of ultrasonic cleaning box 1 and is used to draw water from inside ultrasonic cleaning box 1. The water outlet end of water pump 4 is connected to nozzle 5 and the water suction end of water pump 4 is connected to filter cylinder 6.

[0029] It should be noted that the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 has a built-in ultrasonic generator to generate high-frequency vibration waves, which are transmitted to the chip surface through a liquid medium such as deionized water to remove dirt. The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is made of stainless steel, which is highly corrosion resistant and easy to clean.

[0030] In practice, during the chip cleaning process, the pneumatic gripper 2 is used to hold the chip, and then the held chip is introduced into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. At the same time, the ultrasonic generator is turned on to clean the chip. In addition, the servo motor 3 can be started to drive the pneumatic gripper 2 to rotate. In this process, the ultrasonic cleaning and chip rotation are combined to achieve all-round, no dead angle cleaning of the chip surface and effectively remove various contaminants.

[0031] During the cleaning process, the water pump 4 can draw the wastewater generated in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 into the filter cartridge 6. After being filtered by the filter cartridge 6, the wastewater flows back into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 through the nozzle 5. The use of a circulating filtration system reduces the consumption and discharge of cleaning fluid, which meets the requirements of green manufacturing.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The filter cylinder 6 is provided with filter screens 7 and filter plate bodies 8 at equal intervals along the axial direction.

[0033] It should be noted that the filter plate body 8 can be made of activated carbon, fiber, ceramic or microporous membrane to filter fine impurities. In actual production, users can choose according to their needs, which will not be explained in detail here.

[0034] In practice, the filter screen 7 can filter out larger impurities in the cleaning solution, while the filter plate body 8 can filter out fine impurities. The two work together to purify the impurities generated during cleaning and ensure the cleanliness of the circulating water.

[0035] See Figure 3 The inlet end of the filter cartridge 6 is connected to a connecting pipe 13, and the other end of the connecting pipe 13 extends into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1.

[0036] In practice, the connecting pipe 13 is used to connect the filter cylinder 6 and the ultrasonic cleaning box 1, so that sewage can be easily introduced into the filter cylinder 6 for filtration.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is connected to a mounting base 9 on one side, and a first telescopic cylinder 10 is connected to the mounting base 9. The first telescopic cylinder 10 is used to control the pneumatic gripper 2 to slide along the length of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1.

[0038] In specific implementation, the first telescopic cylinder 10 is set to facilitate the adjustment of the cleaning range and adapt to cleaning chips of different sizes. In the actual cleaning process, as a preferred embodiment, the first telescopic cylinder 10 can also be activated periodically to make the chip rotate back and forth for cleaning, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first telescopic cylinder 10 is connected to the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 11, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 11 is connected to the mounting bracket. The pneumatic gripper 2 and the servo motor 3 are respectively connected to the two sides of the mounting bracket. The second telescopic cylinder 11 is used to control the pneumatic gripper 2 to slide along the height direction of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1.

[0040] In practice, this setting allows for easy adjustment of the cleaning depth of the pneumatic gripper 2, making it easy to adapt to different chip models.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is connected to a fixed frame on one side, and a microcomputer controller 12 is connected to the fixed frame. The microcomputer controller 12 is used to control the pneumatic gripper 2, servo motor 3, water pump 4, first telescopic cylinder 10 and second telescopic cylinder 11.

[0042] It should be noted that the microcomputer controller 12 can be a PLC, a single-chip microcomputer, or an industrial computer, and has the characteristics of flexible programming and high reliability.

[0043] In practice, the microcomputer controller 12 can control various electrical devices installed on the ultrasonic cleaning box 1, such as pneumatic grippers 2, servo motors 3, water pumps 4, first telescopic cylinders 10 and second telescopic cylinders 11, thereby improving the efficiency of automated work.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 Both the servo motor 3 and the pneumatic gripper 2 are fitted with waterproof sleeves.

[0045] In practice, a waterproof sleeve is installed to prevent water from entering the servo motor 3 and pneumatic gripper 2 when they are immersed in the cleaning solution.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet of the water pump 4 is connected to the nozzle 5 via a corrugated pipe. The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​block for limiting the nozzle 5.

[0047] In practice, this setup allows users to manually adjust the spray position of the nozzle 5 to achieve the purpose of rinsing the chip, and also allows the nozzle 5 to be clipped onto the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 to achieve the purpose of automatic water circulation.

[0048] Working principle: During the chip cleaning process, the pneumatic gripper 2 is used to hold the chip, and then the held chip is introduced into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. At the same time, the ultrasonic generator is turned on to clean the chip. In addition, the servo motor 3 can be started to drive the pneumatic gripper 2 to rotate. In this process, the ultrasonic cleaning and chip rotation are combined to achieve all-round, no dead angle cleaning of the chip surface, effectively removing various contaminants.

[0049] During the cleaning process, the water pump 4 can draw the wastewater generated in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 into the filter cartridge 6. After being filtered by the filter cartridge 6, the wastewater flows back into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 through the nozzle 5. The use of a circulating filtration system reduces the consumption and discharge of cleaning fluid, which meets the requirements of green manufacturing.
