Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon wafer basket production technology, and in particular to a reversing device used in silicon wafer basket production. Background Technology
[0002] In a crystalline silicon solar cell production line, silicon wafers are typically transferred between different process units using a slotted basket. The basket typically holds 50 to 100 wafers. After the wafer insertion machine fills the basket with wafers, the basket is moved as a whole. However, after several dozen wafers are inserted, the weight of the basket increases. If it is moved vertically, the basket is prone to tipping over due to its high center of gravity. Therefore, the basket needs to be flipped to a horizontal position to lower the center of gravity.
[0003] In existing technologies, a reversing device is used to flip the silicon wafer basket to a horizontal position. During the flipping process, an electric push rod brings the clamping plates closer together, clamping and fixing the silicon wafer basket. Then, a rotating mechanism flips the silicon wafer basket.
[0004] However, the existing double clamping plate fixing scheme has obvious structural defects. Since the clamping force only acts on the two opposite sides of the silicon wafer basket, when the rotating mechanism starts, the silicon wafer basket lacks effective constraint in the direction perpendicular to the clamping surface. Under rotating or sudden stop conditions, the inertial force can easily cause the silicon wafer basket to shift in the direction without clamping force, causing a side tipping accident. Therefore, this utility model provides a reversing device for silicon wafer basket production. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a reversing device for silicon wafer basket production, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a first motor disposed on the opposing surface of the support plate, a first pulley fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor, a synchronous belt meshing with the surface of the first pulley, a second pulley meshing with the inner wall of the synchronous belt, and the second pulley being fixedly connected to the rotating rod.
[0009] Preferably, the moving component includes a fixed plate disposed on the front side of the rotating plate, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the fixed plate, the output end of the electric push rod being fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0012] Preferably, the pallet has an L-shaped structure and is made of stainless steel.
[0013] Preferably, there are two support plates, and the two support plates are arranged in an array.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this reversing device for silicon wafer basket production, the silicon wafer basket moves along the rotating plate to between the clamping plates, so that the right side of the silicon wafer basket contacts the support plate. Then, the moving component moves the clamping plates closer to each other, so that the clamping plates contact the silicon wafer basket and clamp and fix it.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3A reversing device for silicon wafer basket production includes a base 1, with a support plate 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. Two support plates 2 are arranged in an array. A rotating assembly is installed inside each support plate 2, and a rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the support plate 2 via the rotating assembly. A rotating plate 8 is fixedly mounted in front of the rotating rod 7, and a moving assembly is located in front of the rotating plate 8. A clamping plate 11 is located in front of the rotating plate 8 via the moving assembly. A support plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the opposite side of the clamping plate 11. The support plate 12 has an L-shaped structure and is made of stainless steel. An adjusting assembly is located on the right side of the support plate 12, and a second frame 17 is located on the right side of the support plate 12 via the adjusting assembly. A driving assembly is located in front of the second frame 17, and a limiting plate 20 is slidably connected to the second frame 17 via the driving assembly. The driving assembly includes a third electric... The output end of the third motor 18 extends through the second frame 17 and is fixedly installed with a second screw 19. The second screw 19 is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 20. The setting of the drive component facilitates the driving force for the forward and backward movement of the limiting plate 20. This is a reversing device for silicon wafer basket production. The silicon wafer basket moves along the rotating plate 8 to between the clamping plates 11, so that the right side of the silicon wafer basket contacts the support plate 12. Then, the moving component makes the clamping plates 11 move closer to each other, so that the clamping plates 11 contact the silicon wafer basket and clamp and fix it. Then, the drive component makes the limiting plate 20 move backward, so that the limiting plate 20 contacts the front side of the silicon wafer basket. During the process of the rotating component causing the rotating rod 7, rotating plate 8 and silicon wafer basket to flip, the rotating plate 8, support plate 12 and limiting plate 20 can limit the silicon wafer basket from the side, which can prevent the silicon wafer basket from tipping over, so that the silicon wafer basket can be flipped more stably.
[0021] Specifically, the rotating assembly includes a first motor 3 disposed on the opposing surface of the support plate 2. A first pulley 4 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 3. A synchronous belt 5 is meshed on the surface of the first pulley 4. A second pulley 6 is meshed on the inner wall of the synchronous belt 5. The second pulley 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7. The rotating assembly facilitates the provision of driving force for the rotation of the rotating rod 7, thereby facilitating the flipping of the silicon wafer basket.
[0022] Specifically, the moving component includes a fixed plate 9 disposed on the front side of the rotating plate 8. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the fixed plate 9. The output end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 11. The moving component facilitates the provision of driving force for the mutual movement of the clamping plates 11, so that the clamping plates 11 can clamp and fix the silicon wafer basket.
[0023] Specifically, the adjustment component includes a first frame 13 located on the right side of the tray 12. A second motor 14 is fixedly installed on the right side of the first frame 13. The output end of the second motor 14 extends through the first frame 13 and into its interior, where a first screw 15 is fixedly installed. A moving block 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first screw 15. The moving block 16 is slidably connected to the first frame 13 and fixedly connected to the second frame 17. By adjusting the component, the left and right positions of the second frame 17 can be easily adjusted, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the left and right positions of the limiting plate 20. When the limiting plate 20 is adjusted to the front of the tray 12, it allows the limiting plate 20 to limit the front of the silicon wafer basket. When the limiting plate 20 is moved away from the front of the tray 12, it prevents the limiting plate 20 from obstructing the silicon wafer basket, allowing the silicon wafer basket to leave the front of the tray 12 without needing to lift it. This makes it easier to retrieve the flipped silicon wafer basket.
[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be any conventional known device, such as a computer, that can control the operation of the electrical components mentioned in the article.
[0025] In use: The silicon wafer basket moves along the rotating plate 8 to between the clamping plates 11, so that the right side of the silicon wafer basket contacts the support plate 12. Then, the electric push rod 10 moves the clamping plates 11 closer together, so that the clamping plates 11 contact the silicon wafer basket and clamp and fix it. Then, the third motor 18 rotates the second screw 19, so that the limiting plate 20 moves backward along the second frame 17, so that the limiting plate 20 contacts the front side of the silicon wafer basket and limits the silicon wafer basket. Then, the first motor 3 rotates the first pulley 4, so that the synchronous belt 5 drives the second pulley 6 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 7 rotates, so that the rotating plate 8 and the silicon wafer basket flip 9. At 0 degrees, the silicon wafer basket is in a horizontal position, supported by the tray 12. After flipping, the second screw 19 is rotated by the third motor 18, causing the limiting plate 20 to move forward and separate from the silicon wafer basket. Then, the first screw 15 is rotated by the second motor 14, causing the moving block 16 to move to the right. This causes the second frame 17, the third motor 18, the second screw 19, and the limiting plate 20 to move to the right together, so that the limiting plate 20 leaves the front of the silicon wafer basket. Then, as the electric push rod 10 moves the clamping plates 11 away from each other, the silicon wafer basket can be removed from the front of the tray 12.
