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 Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a wafer fixing mechanism for wafer laser cutting, including a mounting box 1, a connecting cylinder 2 rotatably connected to the top of the mounting box 1, the connecting cylinder 2 rotating along the top of the mounting box 1, a first fixing cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting cylinder 2, the connecting cylinder 2 rotating and causing the first fixing cylinder 3 to rotate, a placement tray 4 fixedly connected to the top of the first fixing cylinder 3, the first fixing cylinder 3 rotating and causing the placement tray 4 to rotate, a placement groove 5 opened on the top of the placement tray 4, wafers are placed in the placement groove 5, a clamping plate 6 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 5, the clamping plate 6 moves to fix the wafers, a toothed ring 21 is fixedly connected inside the connecting cylinder 2, the toothed ring 21 rotating and causing the connecting cylinder 2 to rotate, a fixing plate 7 fixedly connected inside the mounting box 1, a third gear 25 rotatably connected to the top of the fixing plate 7, one side of the third gear 25 meshing with the toothed ring 21, the third gear 25 rotating and causing the toothed ring 21 to rotate.

[0026] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 7, and a second fixed cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 11. The rotating shaft 11 rotates, causing the second fixed cylinder 12 to rotate. A support plate 13 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second fixed cylinder 12, and the second fixed cylinder 12 rotates inside the support plate 13. A first moving plate 15 is slidably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 11, and the first moving plate 15 moves along the outside of the rotating shaft 11. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the first moving plate 15 and the support plate 13, and the support plate 13 moves the first moving plate 15 through the connecting rod 14.

[0027] Furthermore, a third fixed cylinder 30 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 7, and a first gear 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the third fixed cylinder 30. The rotation of the third fixed cylinder 30 causes the first gear 18 to rotate. One side of the first gear 18 is meshed with the third gear 25, and the rotation of the first gear 18 causes the third gear 25 to rotate.

[0028] Furthermore, a fourth limiting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third fixed cylinder 30, and a third limiting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixed cylinder 12. The third limiting plate 19 and the fourth limiting plate 20 are used in conjunction. Both the third limiting plate 19 and the fourth limiting plate 20 have limiting teeth on one side. When the second fixed cylinder 12 brings the third limiting plate 19 close to the fourth limiting plate 20, so that the teeth on one side of the third limiting plate 19 and the fourth limiting plate 20 mesh, the rotating shaft 11 drives the first gear 18 to rotate through the second fixed cylinder 12 and the third fixed cylinder 30.

[0029] Furthermore, a connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected inside the first fixed cylinder 3. A second gear 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 23. The second gear 22 rotates along one side of the connecting plate 23. An arc-shaped groove 24 is provided on the top of the second gear 22. The rotation of the second gear 22 causes the arc-shaped groove 24 to rotate. A connecting column 27 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped groove 24. The rotation of the arc-shaped groove 24 causes the connecting column 27 to move.

[0030] Furthermore, a second movable plate 28 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 23. One end of the connecting post 27 is fixedly connected to the second movable plate 28, and one side of the second movable plate 28 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6. The connecting post 27 moves, causing the second movable plate 28 to move, and the second movable plate 28 moves, causing the clamping plate 6 to move, thereby fixing wafers of different sizes.

[0031] Furthermore, a fifth limiting plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the second gear 22, and a sixth limiting plate 29 is fixedly connected to the other side of the second gear 22. A second limiting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 11, and a first limiting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the first moving plate 15. Limiting teeth are provided on one side of the fifth limiting plate 26, the sixth limiting plate 29, the first limiting plate 16, and the second limiting plate 17. The second limiting plate 17 and the sixth limiting plate 29 cooperate with each other. When the rotating shaft 11 moves away from the side of the sixth limiting plate 29 with the second limiting plate 17, the second gear 22 will not rotate. The first limiting plate 16 and the fifth limiting plate 26 cooperate with each other. The first moving plate 15 moves and moves the first limiting plate 16 closer to the fifth limiting plate 26, so that the teeth on one side of the fifth limiting plate 26 and the second limiting plate 17 mesh, thereby fixing the position of the second gear 22.

[0032] Furthermore, a fixed frame 8 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 7, and a motor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 8. The bottom of the rotating shaft 11 passes through one side of the fixed frame 8 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10. When the motor 10 is turned on, it drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. A cylinder 9 is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 1, and the output end of the cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 8. When the cylinder 9 is turned on, it drives the fixed frame 8 to move, and the movement of the fixed frame 8 drives the rotating shaft 11 to move.

[0033] In use, when it is necessary to fix and cut the wafer, the wafer is placed in the placement slot 5 on the top of the placement tray 4. After ensuring that the sixth limiting plate 29 and the second limiting plate 17 are engaged, the motor 10 is turned on. The output end of the motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotating shaft 11 drives the second gear 22 to rotate. When the second gear 22 rotates, the arc-shaped groove 24 opened on its top rotates accordingly. The connecting column 27 in the arc-shaped groove 24 slides in the groove. The connecting column 27 drives the second moving plate 28 to move. The second moving plate 28 then drives the clamping plate 6 to move, thereby fixing wafers of different sizes. When it is necessary to adjust the cutting angle of the wafer, the cylinder 9 is started. The output end of the cylinder 9 pushes the fixing frame 8. The fixing frame 8 drives the rotating shaft 11 to move, thereby causing the second fixing cylinder 12, the first moving plate 15 and other components connected to the rotating shaft 11 to produce corresponding displacements. During this process, the second limiting plate 17 on the top of the rotating shaft 11 moves away from the side of the sixth limiting plate 29. The support plate 13 drives the first moving plate 15 to move via the connecting rod 14, causing the first limiting plate 16 to approach the fifth limiting plate 26. When the limiting teeth on one side of the two plates mesh, the position of the second gear 22 is fixed, preventing the second gear 22 from rotating. At the same time, the third limiting plate 19 approaches the fourth limiting plate 20, and the limiting teeth on one side of the two plates mesh. The rotating shaft 11 rotates, driving the first gear 18 to rotate via the second fixed cylinder 12 and the third fixed cylinder 30. Since the first gear 18 is meshed with the third gear 25, the rotation of the first gear 18 will drive the third gear 25 to rotate. The third gear 25 then meshes with the toothed ring 21 inside the connecting cylinder 2, thereby realizing the rotation of the connecting cylinder 2. The rotation of the connecting cylinder 2 sequentially drives the first fixed cylinder 3 and the placement disk 4 at the top to rotate, adjusting the angle of the wafer. Throughout the cutting process, this mechanism ensures that the wafer is always in a stable fixed state through the precise cooperation of each component, providing a reliable foundation for laser cutting.
