The wafer cleaning overflow tank includes a water tank body with an open top; water inlet pipes at least at the bottom and top of the water tank body; the height of the water inlet pipe at the top of the water tank body is lower than the overflow height of the cleaning liquid at the top of the water tank body; each water inlet pipe has multiple spray holes arranged sequentially along its length; each water inlet pipe penetrates the water tank body in a predetermined direction; wherein, the predetermined direction is perpendicular to the direction of the wafer being cleaned when it is placed in the water tank body. In this application, water inlet pipes are provided at both the bottom and top of the water tank body, which can simultaneously spray water to clean the wafer surface, ensuring that the entire surface of the wafer is in a stable water flow field, thus improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of wafer cleaning.

[0004] Existing wafer cleaning equipment suffers from several drawbacks. The fixed angle of the cleaning nozzles prevents adjustment based on cleaning requirements. Furthermore, the wafers must be secured during cleaning to facilitate nozzle operation, a process typically performed manually, significantly reducing cleaning efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an adjustable-angle wafer cleaning nozzle device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable-angle wafer cleaning nozzle device. By rotating and swinging the cleaning nozzle left and right, a multi-angle adjustment effect can be achieved. Furthermore, the downward movement of the cleaning nozzle can automatically fix the wafer, thereby solving the problems of existing cleaning nozzles not being able to be adjusted to multiple angles and having low cleaning efficiency.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 An adjustable-angle wafer cleaning nozzle device is shown, including a connecting base 001, a cleaning nozzle 101 disposed below the connecting base 001, and a placement rack 102 disposed below the cleaning nozzle 101.

[0027] The wafer can be cleaned by using the cleaning nozzle 101.

[0028] The fixing component 002 located below the connecting seat 001 includes a connecting ring 201. The connecting ring 201 is located below the connecting seat 001, and multiple sets of hydraulic rods 202 are installed in a ring-shaped arrangement between the connecting ring 201 and the connecting seat 001.

[0029] Multiple sets of hydraulic rods 202 can be used to make the connecting ring 201 move downward below the connecting seat 001.

[0030] The angle adjustment component 003 located below the connecting seat 001 includes a fixing seat 301. The fixing seat 301 is installed below the connecting seat 001. Multiple sets of docking seats 310 are installed in a ring on the surface of the fixing seat 301, and multiple sets of docking seats 310 are also installed in a ring on the inner wall of the connecting ring 201.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above structure, the fixing component 002 also includes a second connecting ring 203, which is disposed below the first connecting ring 201. Multiple sets of connecting rods 204 are installed in a ring arrangement between the first connecting ring 201 and the second connecting ring 203.

[0032] The connecting rod 204 is used to connect and fix the connecting ring 203 and the connecting ring 201.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above structure, a fixing ring 205 is provided below the connecting ring 203, and multiple sets of limiting rods 206 are installed in a ring above the fixing ring 205. Multiple sets of limiting grooves 207 are provided in a ring below the connecting ring 203, and the limiting grooves 207 extend into the connecting rod 204. The limiting grooves 207 are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting rods 206. A spring 208 is attached between the upper part of the inner wall of the limiting groove 207 and the upper part of the limiting rod 206.

[0034] The spring 208 keeps the limiting rod 206 in the limiting groove 207, so that when the hydraulic rod 202 is pushed down, the fixing ring 205 can work with the placement frame 102 to fix the wafer. At this time, the spring 208 can buffer the fixing ring 205 to avoid the problem of wafer compression damage.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above structure, the angle adjustment component 003 also includes a docking rod 302, the surface of which is provided with a sliding cavity 303, and the sliding cavity 303 is slidably connected to the surface of the corresponding fixed seat 301 and the docking seat 310 on the inner wall of the connecting ring 201.

[0036] The sliding cavity 303 on the surface of the docking rod 302 allows the connecting ring 201 to slide within the docking seat 310 as it moves downward.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above structure, a rotating seat 304 is rotatably connected below the fixed seat 301, and a gear 305 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating seat 304. A motor 306 is installed on one side of the fixed seat 301, and a gear 307 is installed at the output end of the motor 306, and the gear 307 meshes with the corresponding gear 305.

[0038] Motor 306 can drive gear 2 307 to rotate, which in turn drives rotating seat 304 to rotate via gear 1 305, thus achieving the rotation effect of rotating seat 304.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above structure, electric push rods 308 are symmetrically rotatably connected above the cleaning nozzle 101. The output ends of the two sets of electric push rods 308 are provided with sliding grooves 309, and the sliding grooves 309 are slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 304.

[0040] By extending and retracting the electric push rod 308, the cleaning nozzle 101 can swing under the rotating seat 304, thereby adjusting the angle of the cleaning nozzle 101. In conjunction with the rotation of the rotating seat 304, multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning nozzle 101 can be achieved.

[0041] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0042] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 By placing the wafer into the placement rack 102, the hydraulic rod 202 drives the connecting ring 201 to move downward, allowing the connecting ring 203 to enter the placement rack 102, thus fixing the wafer. The cleaning nozzle 101 then cleans the wafer. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod 308 causes the cleaning nozzle 101 to swing left and right below the rotating base 304. Simultaneously, the motor 306 drives the gear 2 307 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating base 304 to rotate via the gear 1 305, thus achieving multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning nozzle 101. This structure allows for multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning nozzle 101 during the cleaning process. Furthermore, the cooperation between the fixing ring 205 and the placement rack 102 ensures the wafer is fixed, thereby achieving multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning nozzle 101 and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0043] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
