AI Technical Summary
The transfer mechanism of existing semi-automatic wafer cleaning equipment is too long due to the distribution of motors and reducers, which cannot meet the height requirements of cleanrooms.
The motor and reducer share a bracket design, and the drive plate is directly connected to the hollow connection via an angler, which reduces the overall height of the mechanism. At the same time, a plastic cover plate and a sealing structure are used to isolate strong acid gas and prevent corrosion, and the connection method between the shaft and the nut is improved.
This technology reduces the overall height of the material transfer mechanism in cleanrooms, ensuring a simple and corrosion-resistant structure that meets the needs of the semiconductor industry.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to wafer cleaning, specifically to a semi-automatic wafer cleaning equipment with a front and rear tank transfer mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The semi-automatic wafer cleaning equipment uses a geared motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate and move the front and rear tanks. The transmission geared motor design scheme is that the motor and the reducer are distributed vertically, which makes the overall height relatively long. In order to meet the wafer cleaning requirements, space must be left for the overall movement of the mechanism. In the semiconductor industry, the height of cleanrooms is generally limited, which cannot meet the height requirements of the transfer mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a material transfer mechanism between the front and rear tanks of a semi-automatic wafer cleaning equipment.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model:
[0005] A semi-automatic wafer cleaning equipment includes a front and rear tank transfer mechanism. The front and rear tank transfer mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is vertically positioned, and a front and rear tank are installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft. A driving device drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the front and rear tanks rotate accordingly to transfer materials. The driving mechanism includes a motor and a reducer. The motor and reducer share a bracket, and a driving disk is installed on the bracket. The driving disk is located above the reducer, and the shaft of the driving disk is connected to the input end of the reducer through a coupling. The output end of the reducer is connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft. The motor is located on the side of the bracket and is directly connected to the hollow drive disk through an angle bracket.
[0006] Further refining the above technical solution, the front and rear grooves are fixed on the plastic mounting base, and the lower end of the rotating shaft passes through the mounting base and is locked by a nut. The cleaning solution used for the wafer emits strong acid gas, which corrodes the lower end of the rotating shaft (made of stainless steel to ensure strength) and the nut, causing corrosion and loosening. A plastic cover plate is installed at the bottom of the plastic mounting base, covering the lower end of the rotating shaft and the nut. A seal I is provided between the plastic cover plate and the plastic mounting base. The rotating shaft is covered by a plastic shell, the lower end of which connects to the plastic mounting base. A seal II is provided between the plastic shell and the plastic mounting base. This effectively isolates the strong acid gas from contact with the lower end of the rotating shaft and the nut, preventing corrosion.
[0007] A further improvement to the above technical solution is that a seal III is provided between the nut and the plastic mounting base.
[0008] To further refine the above technical solution, a recessed groove is provided at the bottom of the plastic cover mounting base, the lower end of the rotating shaft and the nut are located in the recessed groove, and the plastic cover plate constitutes the seal of the recessed groove.
[0009] To further refine the above technical solution, the lower end of the plastic shell is flanged and connected to the mounting base via a flange.
[0010] Further refining the above technical solution, the contact surface between the lower end of the rotating shaft and the mounting base includes a flat edge.
[0011] The advantages of this utility model are that it has a reasonable design and simple structure. With the help of a rotating disk and a corner device directly connected to the hollow, the motor can be installed on the side, freeing up space in terms of height, thereby reducing the overall height of the mechanism and solving the problem of limited height in cleanrooms.
