[0027] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a dicing device for cross-sectional detection. The dicing device includes a clamping component 1, a scratching component 2, a striking component 3, a sample receiving groove 4, and a base plate 5. The clamping component 1, the scratching component 2, the striking component 3, and the sample receiving groove 4 are all disposed on the base plate 5.
[0028] The clamping assembly 1 includes a base 11 and a clamping member 12 that cooperate to clamp the sample 7 to be tested. The scratching assembly 2 includes a scratching blade 21, and the striking assembly 3 includes a striking member 31. The scratching blade 21 and the striking member 31 are located on the same side of the clamping assembly 1. The tip 211 of the scratching blade 21 is located above and facing the sample 7 to be tested. The scratching blade 21 is used to scratch the top surface of the sample 7 to be tested along a preset trajectory. The striking member 31 is also located above and facing the sample 7 to be tested. After scratching the sample 7 to be tested, the striking member 31 is used to strike the area of the sample 7 to be tested that is not clamped, causing the scratch on the sample 7 to extend along a predetermined direction and crack along the scratch, forming a sample that can be used for cross-sectional testing. The sample receiving groove 4 is located below the striking member 31 and is used to receive the sample 7 to be tested that has cracked due to the strike.
[0029] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 of the clamping assembly 1 cooperates with the clamping member 12 to clamp the sample 7 to be tested. The base 11 is fixed on the substrate 5 and is used to support the sample 7 to be tested. The clamping member 12 is located above the base 11 and can be moved relative to the base 11 in a controlled manner to change the distance between it and the base 11, so as to clamp and fix the sample 7 to be tested with different thicknesses.
[0030] The position of the clamping member 12 can be adjusted manually or automatically. When adjusted manually, the base 11 and the clamping member 12 can be temporarily connected together using bolts or clips to ensure sufficient clamping force on the sample 7 to be tested. When adjusted automatically, a linear movement mechanism can be used to drive the clamping member 12 to move up and down. This linear movement mechanism includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, ball screw mechanisms, rack and pinion mechanisms, belt mechanisms, and chain mechanisms.
[0031] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to avoid the scratching knife 21, the base 11 protrudes horizontally from the clamping member 12 on the side close to the scratching knife 21, so as to leave enough room for the scratching knife 21 to move beside the clamping member 12.
[0032] Furthermore, to improve the success rate and quality of the dicing process, the scratches on the sample 7 to be tested should be located outside the bearing area of the base 11. Specifically, the base 11 and the clamping member 12 are located on the same side of the tip 212 of the scratching blade 21 in the horizontal direction, and the base 11 and the clamping member 12 are spaced apart from the tip 212 of the scratching blade 21 in the horizontal direction, but this distance should not be too large.
[0033] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the scratching blade 21 of the scratching assembly 2 extends approximately in a vertical direction. The scratching blade 21 is located beside the base 11 and the clamping member 12. The tip 211 of the scratching blade 21 faces the sample 7 to be tested and is used to scratch the area of the sample 7 to be tested that is not clamped.
[0034] Furthermore, the scratching assembly 2 also includes a first guide rail 22 and a lifting mechanism 23. The lifting mechanism 23 is connected to the scratching blade 21 and is used to drive the scratching blade 21 to move up and down, adjust the height of the blade tip 212 of the scratching blade 21, and thus adjust the scratch depth on the sample 7 to be tested. The first guide rail 22 extends approximately horizontally, and the lifting mechanism 23 is connected to the first guide rail 22 and can move along the first guide rail 22 to limit the movement direction of the scratching blade 21, making its movement trajectory approximately a smooth straight line, thereby improving the smoothness of the scratch.
[0035] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 23 includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and linear motors.
[0036] Furthermore, a linear motion mechanism can be provided to drive the lifting mechanism 23 to move along the first guide rail 22. The linear motion mechanism includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, ball screw mechanisms, gear and rack mechanisms, belt mechanisms, and chain mechanisms.
[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the striking assembly 3 also includes a second guide rail 32 and a movable plate. The second guide rail 32 is mounted on the base plate 5 and extends in the vertical direction. The movable plate is movably mounted on the second guide rail 32, and the striking element 31 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate.
[0038] Furthermore, a linear movement mechanism can be provided to drive the striking element 31 and the moving plate to move along the second guide rail 32. The linear movement mechanism includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, ball screw mechanisms, gear and rack mechanisms, belt mechanisms, and chain mechanisms.
[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, the striking element 31 is located on the side of the scratching knife 21 away from the clamping assembly 1, so that the striking element 31 can strike the area of the sample 7 to be tested that is not clamped.
[0040] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the striking component 31 is set as a downward convex arc surface to avoid generating unnecessary scratches on the sample 7 to be tested.
[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the groove wall of the sample receiving groove 4 facing the striking member 31 is set as a downward concave arc surface. When the sample to be tested 7 falls into the sample receiving groove 4 after it is broken, the contact area between the groove wall of the sample receiving groove 4 and the sample to be tested 7 can be reduced, thus protecting the sample to be tested 7 from being scratched.
[0042] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sample receiving slot 4 is set close to the base 11, and the side of the sample receiving slot 4 away from the base 11 is set as an opening to facilitate the test personnel to take out the sample 7 to be tested after the fragment is broken from the sample receiving slot 4.
[0043] In one embodiment, the suction assembly includes a suction hose and a negative pressure source. The negative pressure source is connected to the suction hose and is used to generate negative pressure within the suction hose. The negative pressure source includes, but is not limited to, a negative pressure pump. The suction hose has a certain length, and its end suction port can be moved to various areas of the dicing device under the control of the testing personnel to absorb sample fragments that fall onto the surface of the dicing device.
[0044] In one embodiment, the sharding device further includes a bracket 6, which is mounted on the substrate 5 to support the first guide rail 22, and a linear movement mechanism for driving the striking member 31 is also fixed on the bracket 6.
[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0046] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
