Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0053] In the description of this utility model, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a clamping and flipping mechanism, including a support portion 100 and a first pressing portion 200 and a second pressing portion 300 mounted on the support portion 100. One or both of the first pressing portion 200 and the second pressing portion 300 are slidably connected to the support portion 100 so that they can move closer or further apart to achieve clamping and loosening of the substrate.

[0055] To facilitate the description and understanding of the relevant structural relationships, this embodiment uses the positional relationship of the first pressing part 200 being below and the second pressing part 300 being above for structural explanation.

[0056] The upper end of the first clamping part 200 is provided with a plurality of rigid ejector pins 201. When clamping the substrate, the protruding rigid ejector pins 201 are used to support the substrate. The protrusion distance of the rigid ejector pins 201 can be set according to the actual substrate to be processed to ensure contact with the substrate. Furthermore, the distribution pattern of the rigid ejector pins 201 on the first clamping part 200 can be set according to the size of the actual substrate to be processed and the support requirements to ensure stability when clamping the substrate.

[0057] The lower end of the second clamping part 300 is provided with a plurality of elastic pins 301. When the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 approach each other to clamp the substrate, the elastic pins 301 cooperate with the rigid pins 201 to clamp the substrate, and after the elastic pins 301 abut against the substrate, they can adaptively retract upward to avoid the problem of damage to the substrate caused by rigidly clamping the substrate.

[0058] When flipping the substrate, the substrate is usually fed in by a wafer picker robot. When the first clamping part 200 is in the downward position, the substrate is supported by a rigid ejector pin 201. When the second clamping part 300 is in the downward position, the substrate is supported by an elastic ejector pin 301. After flipping, the wafer picker robot removes the substrate.

[0059] The clamping and flipping mechanism of this embodiment, by providing a rigid pin 201 on the first pressing part 200 and an elastic pin 301 on the second pressing part 300, can effectively clamp the substrate for flipping. It can effectively clamp the substrate and adapt to expansion and contraction to avoid damage to the substrate. While improving production capacity, it avoids the problem of substrate damage or displacement caused by insufficient clamping force.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pressing part 200 is provided with a first adjusting part that can be raised and lowered, and the rigid pin 201 is provided in the first adjusting part.

[0061] It is understood that in this embodiment, by setting a first adjustment part to install the rigid ejector pin 201, the protrusion height of the rigid ejector pin 201 can be changed by adjusting the lifting of the first adjustment part relative to the first pressing part 200, so that the rigid ejector pin 201 maintains good contact with the substrate. In this way, when the rigid ejector pin 201 and the elastic ejector pin 301 cooperate to clamp the substrate, the force on both sides of the substrate can be effectively balanced, ensuring the clamping force on the substrate while avoiding damage to the substrate.

[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first adjusting part is threadedly connected to the first pressing part 200, and the first pressing part 200 is provided with an adjusting window that exposes the side of the first adjusting part away from the rigid ejector pin 201. An operator can insert a tool through the adjusting window to rotate the first adjusting part, thereby controlling its raising or lowering.

[0063] The rigid ejector pin 201 can also adopt other lifting and adjusting structural forms, which will not be listed in detail here.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the elastic ejector pin 301 includes:

[0065] Guide sleeve 3011, guide sleeve 3011 is fixedly disposed on the second pressing part 300;

[0066] The needle bar 3012 passes through the guide sleeve 3011, and the lower end of the needle bar 3012 extends out relative to the guide sleeve 3011.

[0067] Elastic element 3013 is disposed between the lower end of guide sleeve 3011 and the lower end of needle bar 3012;

[0068] The second adjustment part 3014 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the needle bar 3012 above the guide sleeve 3011;

[0069] The second adjustment unit 3014 can adjust the needle bar 3012 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the compression of the elastic element 3013.

[0070] Understandably, the needle bar 3012 can move up and down within the guide sleeve 3011 and maintain its downward extension posture through the action of the elastic element 3013. When it abuts against the substrate, the needle bar 3012 compresses the elastic element 3013 and moves upward. The second adjusting part 3014 is used both to engage the upper end of the guide sleeve 3011 to prevent the needle bar 3012 from dislodging from the guide sleeve 3011 under the action of the elastic element 3013, and to adjust the height of the protrusion of the elastic ejector pin 301 by moving the needle bar 3012 up and down through the thread.

[0071] The elastic element 3013 can be a spring or other structural form capable of applying elastic force.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, both the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300 are provided with an automatic centering component. The automatic centering component includes a plurality of guide blocks 303 that are linked together, and the plurality of guide blocks 303 can move synchronously toward the center.

[0073] Since the substrate needs to be fed onto the first clamping part 200 or the second clamping part 300 by the wafer picker when flipping, and then clamped and flipped, this embodiment can use the guide block 303 to move inward to push the substrate to the center, thereby ensuring that the position of the substrate is consistent each time it is flipped, which facilitates docking of the wafer picker.

[0074] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the automatic alignment component further includes:

[0075] The linkage turntable 304 is rotatably mounted on the first pressing part 200 or the second pressing part 300, and is hinged to multiple guide blocks 303 by multiple circumferentially distributed connecting rods 305. In this way, when the linkage turntable 304 rotates, the connecting rods 305 pull the guide blocks 303 to move closer to the center or away from the surrounding areas.

[0076] The second drive rod 306 has a first end hinged to the linkage turntable 304 and a second end extending to the support part 100.

[0077] Cam follower 307, which is disposed at the second end of the second drive rod 306;

[0078] A reset element is used to keep the multiple guide blocks 303 in an outwardly open posture;

[0079] The support 100 is provided with a drive member 308 on the lifting path of the cam follower 307. When the cam follower 307 passes by, the drive member 308 pushes the cam follower 307 to move towards the center, thereby driving the linkage turntable 304 to rotate and causing multiple guide blocks 303 to move towards the center.

[0080] Reference Figure 6 Under normal conditions, the four guide blocks 303 are distributed on the outer sides of the four sides of the corresponding clamping parts under the action of the reset member. When the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 approach each other to clamp the substrate, the cam follower 307 is pushed by the drive member 308 and moves towards the center of the linkage turntable 304. The second drive rod 306 drives the linkage turntable 304 to rotate. At this time, the linkage turntable 304 drives the guide blocks 303 to move towards the center through the four connecting rods 305, and ensures that the substrate is centered by abutting against the four sides of the substrate. After passing the drive member 308, the guide blocks 303 are reset under the action of the reset member and exit the ejector pin area, so that the rigid ejector pin 201 and the elastic ejector pin 301 can successfully clamp the substrate.

[0081] The automatic centering component in this embodiment does not require additional power. Instead, it uses the opening and closing adjustment of the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300 relative to the support part 100 to perform centering adjustment, which helps to reduce production costs and simplifies the structural composition.

[0082] It is understandable that the drive component 308 only needs to be provided with an inclined surface that abuts against the cam follower 307, so that the cam follower 307 can move towards the center along the inclined surface when it passes through, and it is not set as a power component such as a motor.

[0083] In this embodiment, the reset component can be located between the connecting rod 305 and the pressing part, between the linkage turntable 304 and the pressing part, or in other positions. Since the components of the automatic centering assembly are linked as a whole, it is only necessary to achieve reset. The specific setting position is not limited here.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide block 303 is mounted on the first pressing part 200 or the second pressing part 300 via a first linear guide rail.

[0085] In this embodiment, the guide block 303 is installed by setting a first linear guide rail, which can not only ensure the movement accuracy of the guide block 303, but also reduce the generation of particles. When arranged in a vacuum chamber, it can avoid polluting the environment of the vacuum chamber.

[0086] Understandably, since the overall size of the substrate is not large, the overall size of this mechanism does not need to be too large either; the first linear guide rail can be set as a miniature guide rail structure to meet the requirements.

[0087] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping and flipping mechanism further includes:

[0088] A first driving assembly is used to drive the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300 to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0089] The second drive assembly is used to drive the support 100 to rotate, so as to change the upper and lower positions of the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300.

[0090] The drive unit 500 is connected to the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly via the clutch structure 400, and is used to provide a power source for the first drive assembly or the second drive assembly.

[0091] This embodiment uses a single drive unit 500 to simultaneously provide power for the opening and closing adjustment of the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300, as well as the rotation adjustment of the support part 100. This reduces the number of drives, facilitates control, and lowers production costs. Furthermore, it helps control the overall volume and facilitates placement within a vacuum chamber for substrate flipping operations.

[0092] The clutch structure 400 is used to connect the output power of the drive unit 500 to the first drive assembly or the second drive assembly, thereby sequentially performing the clamping action and the flipping action.

[0093] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first driving component includes:

[0094] The drive wheel 202 is rotatably mounted on the support part 100.

[0095] A first drive shaft 102, the first end of which is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 202, and the second end of which extends to the clutch structure 400;

[0096] Two first drive rods 203, the first end of the first drive rod 203 is hinged to the periphery of the drive wheel 202, and the second end of the first drive rod 203 is hinged to the first pressing part 200 or the second pressing part 300.

[0097] The drive unit 500 can be connected to the first drive shaft 102 via the clutch structure 400.

[0098] In this embodiment, the drive wheel 202 is positioned between the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300. Two first drive rods 203 are distributed symmetrically and connected to the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300, respectively. When the first drive shaft 102 rotates clockwise, the drive wheel 202 rotates clockwise simultaneously, pulling the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 closer together via the first drive rods 203, thus clamping the substrate. When the first drive shaft 102 rotates counterclockwise, the drive wheel 202 rotates counterclockwise simultaneously, pulling the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 further apart via the first drive rods 203, allowing the substrate to be removed.

[0099] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the second driving component includes:

[0100] The second drive shaft 101 is concentrically sleeved on the outside of the first drive shaft 102. The first end of the second drive shaft 101 is fixedly connected to the support part 100, and the second end of the second drive shaft 101 extends to the clutch structure 400.

[0101] The drive unit 500 can be connected to the second drive shaft 101 via the clutch structure 400.

[0102] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second drive shaft 101 is coaxially arranged with the first drive shaft 102 to facilitate the connection of the two with the clutch structure 400 and realize the transmission switching of the power source.

[0103] During operation, the substrate is first placed on the first clamping part 200 or the second clamping part 300. Then, the drive part 500 is connected to the first drive shaft 102 through the clutch structure 400, which pulls the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 closer together to clamp the substrate. Then, the drive part 500 is connected to the second drive shaft 101 through the clutch structure 400 to control the support part 100 to rotate 180°. After that, the drive part 500 is switched to connect to the first drive shaft 102 again to control the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300 to open, thus completing the flipping of the substrate.

[0104] In this embodiment, the drive unit 500 can be configured as a servo motor structure.

[0105] In one embodiment, in order to achieve power switching, the clutch structure 400 includes a clutch 402 and a brake 401, wherein the first drive shaft 102 is directly connected to the power output end of the drive unit 500, the second drive shaft 101 is connected to the first drive shaft 102 through the clutch 402, and the brake 401 is disposed between the mounting base and the second drive shaft 101.

[0106] During the opening and closing adjustment of the first clamping part 200 and the second clamping part 300, the clutch 402 is in the disengaged state and the brake 401 is in the braking state, at which time the second drive shaft 101 is fixed. When rotating 180°, the clutch 402 is closed, the brake 401 is released, and the first drive shaft 102 and the second drive shaft 101 rotate together 180°.

[0107] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300 are mounted on the support part 100 by a vertically arranged second linear guide rail 302, thereby improving the installation stability of both and also improving the structural rigidity of the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300.

[0108] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300 adopt the triangular hollow structure shown in the figure to reduce weight and improve the rigidity of the pressing part.

[0109] It should be noted that, in this utility model, the opening and closing action can be achieved by sliding adjustment of only one of the first pressing part 200 and the second pressing part 300.

[0110] In summary, this application has the following advantages:

[0111] 1. The substrate is clamped by a combination of rigid ejector pin 201 and elastic ejector pin 301, which can maintain the clamping force, prevent the substrate from shifting, and avoid excessive clamping force that could damage the substrate.

[0112] 2. The single-drive structure is used to simultaneously satisfy the flipping, clamping, and centering actions, resulting in better synchronization, higher control precision, and higher efficiency;

[0113] 3. The entire mechanism has no gear structure, thus avoiding the problem of friction generating particles;

[0114] 4. The entire mechanism has high structural stability, which can ensure consistency during each substrate flipping and facilitates docking with the wafer picking robot.

[0115] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
