Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monocrystalline silicon processing technology, and in particular to a cutting and unloading device for monocrystalline silicon processing. Background Technology

[0002] Monocrystalline silicon, as a relatively reactive non-metallic element crystal, is an important component of crystalline materials and is at the forefront of new material development. The manufacturing process of monocrystalline silicon involves the following steps: quartz sand – metallurgical-grade silicon – purification and refining – deposition of polycrystalline silicon ingots – monocrystalline silicon – silicon wafer cutting. Its main applications are as a semiconductor material and in solar photovoltaic power generation and heating.

[0003] Existing monocrystalline silicon is formed into monocrystalline silicon rods by rotating and pulling them upwards using the Czochralski method, and then cut into silicon wafers. However, during the cutting and unloading process, the silicon wafers are collected by a receiving assembly and placed manually, which makes them prone to damage during unloading and limits the conveying efficiency. To address this, we propose a cutting and unloading device for monocrystalline silicon processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a cutting and unloading device for single crystal silicon processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a silicon core cutting and unloading device for single-crystal silicon processing, comprising a guide platform, a guide groove inside the guide platform, a protective layer on the inner side of the guide groove, a transport device on one side of the guide platform, a transmission belt inside the transport device, a fixed clamp mounted on the surface of the transmission belt, an adjustable clamp slidably mounted on one side of the fixed clamp, a limit hole inside the adjustable clamp, a screw shaft through the limit hole mounted on one side of the fixed clamp, a clamping layer between the fixed clamp and the adjustable clamp, and a nut threaded onto one end of the screw shaft.

[0006] Preferably, the inside of the guide trough is a trapezoidal hollow trough and the inside of the guide trough becomes narrower from one side to the other. The bottom side of the guide trough is an inclined trough surface. The protective layer is made of a soft material and has deformation characteristics. The protective layer has the same internal structure as the guide trough.

[0007] Preferably, when the silicon core material falls into the protective layer inside the guide trough, the silicon core material is in a downward rolling guide feeding state through the protective layer.

[0008] Preferably, when the silicon core material falls between the fixed clamp and the adjustable clamp, both the fixed clamp and the adjustable clamp are clamped and protected by a clamping layer, and the adjustable clamp is located outside the screw shaft through a limiting hole and is in a sliding and adjustable state.

[0009] Preferably, cleaning brushes are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the interior of the protective layer, and wiping cotton is connected to the outlet positions on both sides of the interior of the protective layer. The wiping cotton is made of sponge material and has adsorption properties.

[0010] Preferably, when the silicon core material moves within the protective layer inside the guide trough, both sides of the silicon core material are initially cleaned by cleaning brushes, and when the silicon core material passes through two sets of wiping cotton, both sides of the silicon core material are wiped and adsorbed by the wiping cotton.

[0011] This invention provides a silicon core cutting and blanking device for single-crystal silicon processing. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. A single-crystal silicon core cutting and unloading device for processing single-crystal silicon. In this invention, when the single-crystal silicon rod is cut into silicon wafers by diamond wire cutting, the silicon wafers fall into the protective layer inside the guide trough. The bottom side of the guide trough is inclined downwards. At this time, the silicon wafers can first pass through the protective layer for buffering and receiving and then roll downwards. The fixed clamps and adjustable clamps on the conveyor belt correspond to the positions of the guide trough. The silicon wafers can then roll down through the guide trough into the space between the fixed clamps and the adjustable clamps for collection. The clamping layer between the fixed clamps and the adjustable clamps can clamp and protect the falling silicon wafers. The adjustable clamps can be located outside the screw shaft for adaptive sliding adjustment to adapt to the thickness of the silicon wafers. When the conveyor belt is started to transport the silicon wafers, the silicon wafers between the fixed clamps and the adjustable clamps can be automatically collected and transported, thereby improving the protection and conveying efficiency of silicon wafer unloading.

[0013] 2. A silicon core cutting and unloading device for monocrystalline silicon processing, wherein a cleaning brush and a wiping cotton are respectively provided on the inner side of the protective layer. When the silicon wafer falls into the protective layer, the silicon wafer will tilt and roll downward through the protective layer. At this time, the two sides of the silicon wafer can be cleaned by friction by the cleaning brush. When the silicon wafer passes through the two sets of cleaning brushes, the water stains remaining on the two sides of the silicon wafer can be wiped and absorbed by the wiping cotton, ensuring the cleanliness of the silicon wafer itself, thereby improving the quality of subsequent processing of the silicon wafer.

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.

[0023] Example: A silicon core cutting and blanking device for monocrystalline silicon processing, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a guide platform 1, a guide groove 2 inside the guide platform 1, a protective layer 3 on the inner side of the guide groove 2, a conveyor device 4 on one side of the guide platform 1, a conveyor belt 5 inside the conveyor device 4, a fixed clamp 6 on the surface of the conveyor belt 5, an adjustable clamp 7 slidably mounted on one side of the fixed clamp 6, a limit hole 8 inside the adjustable clamp 7, a screw 9 through the limit hole 8 on one side of the fixed clamp 6, a clamping layer 10 between the fixed clamp 6 and the adjustable clamp 7, a nut 11 threaded onto one end of the screw 9, cleaning brushes 12 equidistantly arranged on both sides inside the protective layer 3, and wiping cotton 13 connected to the outlet positions on both sides inside the protective layer 3. The wiping cotton 13 is made of sponge material and has adsorption properties.

[0024] Furthermore, the inside of the guide trough 2 is a trapezoidal hollow trough, and the inside of the guide trough 2 becomes narrower from one side to the other. The bottom side of the guide trough 2 is an inclined trough surface. The protective layer 3 is made of a soft material and has deformation characteristics. The protective layer 3 has the same internal structure as the guide trough 2.

[0025] Furthermore, when the silicon core material falls into the protective layer 3 inside the guide trough 2, the silicon core material is in a downward rolling guide feeding state through the protective layer 3.

[0026] Furthermore, when the silicon core material falls between the fixed clamp 6 and the adjustable clamp 7, the fixed clamp 6 and the adjustable clamp 7 are both clamped and protected by the clamping layer 10. The adjustable clamp 7 is located outside the screw shaft 9 through the limiting hole 8 and is in a sliding and adjustable state.

[0027] Furthermore, when the silicon core material moves within the protective layer 3 inside the guide trough 2, both sides of the silicon core material are initially cleaned by the cleaning brush 12. When the silicon core material passes through two sets of wiping cotton 13, both sides of the silicon core material are wiped and adsorbed by the wiping cotton 13.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model:

[0029] When the monocrystalline silicon rod is cut into silicon wafers using diamond wire cutting, the silicon wafers fall into the protective layer 3 inside the guide trough 2. The bottom of the guide trough 2 is inclined downwards. At this time, the silicon wafers can first be buffered and received by the protective layer 3 and then rolled downwards. The fixed clamps 6 and adjustable clamps 7 on the conveyor belt 5 correspond to the positions of the guide trough 2. The silicon wafers can then roll down through the guide trough 2 into the space between the fixed clamps 6 and adjustable clamps 7 for collection. The clamping layer 10 between the fixed clamps 6 and adjustable clamps 7 can hold and prevent the falling silicon wafers from falling. The adjustable clamp 7 can be located outside the screw shaft 9 for adaptive sliding adjustment to accommodate the thickness of the silicon wafer. When the conveyor belt 5 is started to transport the silicon wafer, the silicon wafer between the fixed clamp 6 and the adjustable clamp 7 can be automatically collected and transported, thereby improving the protection of the silicon wafer and the conveying efficiency. When the silicon wafer is tilted and rolled downward through the protective layer 3, the two sides of the silicon wafer can be cleaned by friction with the cleaning brush 12. When the silicon wafer passes through two sets of cleaning brushes 12, the water stains remaining on the two sides of the silicon wafer can be wiped and absorbed by the wiping cotton 13 to ensure the cleanliness of the silicon wafer itself.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
