Detailed Implementation
[0029] 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.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a wafer scraper 1, which includes a scraper 1 mounted on a tool holder. The tool holder is connected to the drive mechanism of a wafer scraper. The wafer scraper is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] The scraper 1 in this embodiment has a hollow structure, with a blade end 2 and a connecting end 3. The blade end 2 has two pointed blades 4. In the scraping direction, one pointed blade 4 protrudes from the other pointed blade 4 so that the defective product can enter between the two pointed blades 4. The connecting end 3 is connected to an external negative pressure device, so that most of the defective product can be sucked into the scraper 1 during the scraping process, which achieves a certain cleaning effect.
[0033] In this embodiment, the scraper 1 adopts a cylindrical structure, and its blade tip 2 has a contact surface 5 parallel to the wafer. Since the wafer scraper adopts a vision guidance scheme, positioning the blade tip 2 can greatly improve the scraping effect, especially when defective products and good products are adjacent. Based on this, the blade tip 2 in this embodiment has a vision observation window 6, and the two tip blades 4 are located in the projection area of the vision observation window 6, so as not to affect the vision camera's observation of the blade tip 2, thus making the scraping of defective products more accurate.
[0034] In some other embodiments, a filling block 15 is provided at the blade tip 2 to reduce the size of the opening of the blade tip 2, so that the size of the opening of the blade tip 2 is smaller than the area of the connecting end 3, thereby increasing the suction force. The corresponding visual observation window 6 is equipped with glass to prevent the suction force from being wasted, so that most of the scraped-off defective products are sucked into the scraper 1.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a wafer scraper 1, which, based on embodiment one, also includes a blade holder. The blade holder includes a connecting arm 7 and a connecting member 8. The connecting arm 7 is connected to the drive mechanism of the scraper, and the scraper 1 is connected to the connecting member 8 through a connecting frame 9. The connecting member 8 is connected to the connecting arm 7.
[0037] To allow for adjustment of the angle of the scraper 1, a groove 81 is provided on the connector 8, and the connecting bracket 9 has a ring structure 91 that mates with the groove 81.
[0038] In addition, the connector 8 is provided with a locking member 10 for fixing the annular structure 91 in the annular groove 81. The locking member 10 has a screw portion, and the portion of the connector 8 located in the annular groove 81 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the screw portion.
[0039] The connecting frame 9 can be fixed by tightening the locking part 10, preventing the scraper 1 from shifting position during the scraping process. After loosening the locking part 10, the position of the scraper 1 can be adjusted as needed, thereby improving the versatility of adjustment requirements.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment proposes a wafer scraper 1. Based on embodiment two, the connecting arm 7 of the blade holder is provided with an arc groove 11, and the connecting member 8 has an arc block 12 that cooperates with the arc groove 11. The arc length of the arc groove 11 is 2 to 4 times the arc length of the arc block 12.
[0042] Fasteners are installed on the connecting arm 7. The fasteners are fastening screws 13 that pass through the connecting member 8. The connecting arm 7 has threaded holes that mate with the fastening screws 13. A fastening plate 14 is fixedly installed on the fastening screws 13. The fastening plate 14 can abut against the connecting member 8. The center of the arc groove 11 and the arc block 12 is located on the axis of the fastening screws 13.
[0043] The connector 8 can be fixed by tightening the fastening screw 13, and its position can be adjusted by loosening it to meet various adjustment needs.
[0044] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
