[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for wafer bonding pretreatment, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This automatic feeding mechanism for wafer bonding pretreatment, through its conveying mechanism, first places all wafers into the placement box when pretreatment of wafer bonding is required. A first servo motor drives a rotating rod, causing the rotating table and placement box to rotate, positioning the wafers in the placement box at the bottom of the suction cup.

A one-way threaded rod 292 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second servo motor 29.

[0030] A movable frame 291 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the one-way threaded rod 292. An electric telescopic rod 297 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame 291. A suction cup 298 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 297. A placement platform 293 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the load-bearing frame 24. An air pump 294 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform 293. A hose 295 is fixedly connected to the front side of the air pump 294. The hose 295 is fixedly connected to the top of the suction cup 298. A connecting frame 296 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the hose 295.

[0031] The flexible hose 295 passes through the interior of the movable frame 291, and the connecting frame 296 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the movable frame 291, so that the suction cup 298 can work normally under the action of the flexible hose 295.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the processing mechanism 3 further includes a fixed frame 31, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A rectangular seat 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 31, and an operating table 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular seat 32. A bidirectional threaded rod 34 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular seat 32. A knob 33 is fixedly connected to the front side of the bidirectional threaded rod 34, and a moving block 35 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod 34. The moving block 35 is slidably connected inside the rectangular seat 32, and a clamping plate 36 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the moving block 35. The clamping plate 36 is slidably connected inside the operating table 37.

[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used and pre-processing of wafer bonding is required, all wafers are first placed into the placement box 28. The first servo motor 23 drives the rotating rod 25, which in turn drives the rotating table 27 and the placement box 28 to rotate, so that the wafers in the placement box 28 are at the bottom of the suction cup 298. At the same time, the second servo motor 29 drives the one-way threaded rod 292 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving frame 291 to move, so that the suction cup 298 is at the top of the wafer. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 297 drives the suction cup 298 to move, so that the suction cup 298 contacts the wafer. With the help of the air pump 294, the wafer is picked up and transferred through the hose 295. During the picking up, the wafer can be transported to the operating table 37 by the electric telescopic rod 297 and the one-way threaded rod 292, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of loading.

[0035] When the wafer is placed in the stage 293, the knob 33 can be rotated. Rotating the knob 33 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 34 to rotate, causing the moving block 35 to slide in the groove inside the rectangular base 32. This, in turn, drives the clamping plate 36 to clamp and fix the wafer, which facilitates the stability of the wafer when bonding or pre-processing. The clamping plate 36 is arc-shaped and has a rubber pad on the inside, which can adapt to the shape of the wafer and increase friction to prevent the wafer from shifting during processing, thus ensuring the accuracy and quality of processing.
