DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] As Figs. 1-2As shown, a semiconductor wafer dicing apparatus includes a position adjustment component mounted on the dicing apparatus, and an illumination component mounted on the position adjustment component. The illumination component includes a light mounting base 101, and the surface of the light mounting base 101 has a plurality of mounting slots arranged in a ring array along the radial direction. Each mounting slot is provided with a horn-shaped light condenser 102, and a light source 103 is provided at the bottom of the light condenser 102. The light sources 103 are arranged in a ring array with a multi-layer concentric circle structure.

[0025] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, a position adjustment component is installed on the cutting device, and the lighting component is mounted on the position adjustment component. This allows the position and angle of the lighting component to be changed via the position adjustment component, enabling it to be flexibly adjusted to a suitable lighting position according to the actual needs of the cutting operation, providing accurate and effective lighting to the cutting area. The surface of the lighting component's lamp mounting base 101 has multiple mounting slots arranged in a circular array along the radial direction. This design allows the light source 103 to be evenly distributed on the lamp mounting base 101, providing all-around and uniform lighting to the cutting area. A trumpet-shaped condenser 102 is installed in each mounting slot. The condenser 102 can converge the light emitted by the light source 103, improving the light intensity and concentration, and enhancing the lighting effect of the cutting area. The light source 103 is located at the bottom of the condenser 102, and the light source 103 is arranged in a multi-layered concentric circle circular array. This multi-layered concentric circle circular array arrangement further ensures the uniformity of light in the lighting area, ensuring that all positions in the cutting area receive appropriate lighting intensity, while also helping to improve light utilization.

[0026] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the outer surface of the condenser 102 is covered with an arc-shaped light-transmitting cover 104. The arc-shaped light-transmitting cover 104 can change the propagation path of light, making the light shine more softly on the cutting area, avoiding the phenomenon of excessive light concentration and glare, and at the same time, it can further expand the illumination range and improve the lighting effect. In addition, the light-transmitting cover 104 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the condenser 102 and the light source 103, preventing external dust, impurities, etc. from entering the interior of the condenser 102 and affecting the normal operation of the light source 103.

[0027] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 104 is coated with an oleophobic layer. Coating the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 104 with an oleophobic layer gives the surface of the light-transmitting cover 104 oleophobic properties. During the cutting process, some oil and other contaminants may be generated. The oleophobic layer can prevent these oil and contaminants from adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting cover 104, maintaining the cleanliness and transparency of the light-transmitting cover 104, ensuring normal light transmission, and thus guaranteeing the stability of the lighting effect. At the same time, it also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the light-transmitting cover 104, extending its service life.

[0028] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the light source 103 uses LED chips, and each LED chip is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the condenser 102 by a thermally conductive adhesive layer 105. High-brightness LED chips have advantages such as high luminous efficiency, high brightness, and low energy consumption, providing sufficient light to the cutting area and meeting the lighting requirements of cutting operations. The thermally conductive adhesive layer 105 not only firmly fixes the LED chips inside the condenser 102, ensuring their positional stability, but also has good thermal conductivity, effectively dissipating the heat generated by the LED chips during operation, reducing their operating temperature, improving their lifespan and luminous efficiency, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the lighting effect.

[0029] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the position adjustment assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 201. A stabilizing frame 203 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the telescopic cylinder 201 via a first damping bearing 202. The bottom of the stabilizing frame 203 is rotatably connected to the edge of the cutting device via a second damping bearing 204. The top of the telescopic cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the light mounting base 101 via a third damping bearing 205. The telescopic cylinder 201 is an important component of the position adjustment assembly. Through the telescopic movement of the cylinder 201, the height position of the lighting assembly can be changed, allowing it to adapt to the lighting needs of cutting operations at different heights. The stabilizing frame 203 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the telescopic cylinder 201 via the first damping bearing 202 allows the telescopic cylinder 201 to rotate within a certain angle range relative to the stabilizing frame 203, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the lighting assembly so that the light can illuminate the cutting area at a suitable angle. The bottom of the stabilizer 203 is rotatably connected to the corner of the cutting device via a second damping bearing 204, further increasing the rotational flexibility of the lighting assembly. This allows for a wider range of position and angle adjustments to adapt to the lighting requirements of cutting operations in different locations. The top of the telescopic cylinder 201 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the light mounting base 101 via a third damping bearing 205. This rotatable connection allows for further fine-tuning of the tilt angle of the lighting assembly, making the light beam direction more precise and ensuring optimal lighting effects in the cutting area. The damping bearing also ensures the lighting assembly remains stable after position and angle adjustments, preventing wobbling due to external forces and ensuring optimal lighting performance.

[0030] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
