[0028] This embodiment provides a silicon wafer straightening and handling device. This device effectively straightens silicon wafers in a basket and transfers the straightened silicon wafers through the basket. No manual operation is required during this process, which improves operational efficiency and effectively avoids the problem of silicon wafer breakage, thereby avoiding the impact on subsequent processing of silicon wafers.
[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the silicon wafer straightening and handling device of this embodiment includes a conveyor line 10, a drive module 20, a clamping part 30, and a straightening part 40. The conveyor line 10 conveys a basket containing silicon wafers. The drive module 20 is connected to the conveyor line 10 through a bracket 21 and drives the conveyor line 10, realizing the movement of the basket in the length direction of the drive module 20 and changing the position of the silicon wafers. The clamping part 30 can clamp the basket located on the conveyor line 10. The straightening part 40 can straighten the silicon wafers located in the basket so that the silicon wafers can be processed in the subsequent process.
[0030] In this embodiment, the bracket 21 is provided with a top plate 60 and several mounting posts 70. One clamping part 30 is installed on the top plate 60, and another clamping part 30 is installed on the side of the conveyor line 10. One straightening part 40 is installed on the bracket 21, and another straightening part 40 is installed on the mounting post 70. The presence of the two sets of clamping parts 30 can stably clamp the basket and maintain its stability. The presence of the two sets of straightening parts 40 can effectively straighten the silicon wafers in the basket and prevent the silicon wafers from falling off during the transmission process. Compared with manual processing, the yield of silicon wafers can be better controlled.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top plate 60 is provided with a solenoid valve 61 and a proximity switch 62. The solenoid valve 61 is connected to the clamping part 30 and the straightening part 40, and the proximity switch 62 corresponds to the end position of the conveyor line 10 to monitor the position of the basket. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 61 controls the clamping part 30 and the straightening part 40, while the proximity switch 62 can monitor the position of the basket. When the proximity switch 62 determines that the basket has reached the predetermined position, the solenoid valve 61 controls the clamping part 30 to clamp the basket, and then controls the straightening part 40 to straighten the silicon wafers in the basket so that the subsequent drive module 20 can drive the conveyor line 10 to change the height of the silicon wafers.
[0032] In this embodiment, a stop 50 is provided at the end of the conveyor line 10 to block the flower basket, thereby accurately positioning the flower basket so that the silicon wafers inside the flower basket can be transferred and processed in the future.
[0033] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the clamping part 30 in this embodiment includes a clamping cylinder 31 and a clamping block 32. The clamping cylinder 31 drives the clamping block 32 to clamp the flower basket. The straightening part 40 includes a first straightening cylinder 41, a second straightening cylinder 42, and a straightening block 43. The first straightening cylinder 41 drives the second straightening cylinder 42, and the second straightening cylinder 42 drives the straightening block 43 to straighten the silicon wafers inside the flower basket. When the flower basket reaches the pre-positioned position of the conveyor line 10... Afterwards, the clamping cylinder 31 of the clamping part 30 drives the clamping block 32 to clamp the flower basket. After the flower basket is clamped, the first straightening cylinder 41 of the straightening part 40 pushes out the second straightening cylinder 42, and then the second straightening cylinder 42 pushes out the straightening block 43. The straightening block 43 straightens the silicon wafers in the flower basket. After straightening, the drive module 20 lifts the conveyor line 10, thereby changing the height position of the silicon wafers.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first straightening cylinder 41 and the second straightening cylinder 42 are L-shaped to drive the straightening block 43. The straightening block 43 is a long strip block structure. The first straightening cylinder 41 and the second straightening cylinder 42 cooperate to drive the straightening block 43 from two directions, changing the position of the straightening block 43 so that the straightening block 43 can perform better straightening processing on the silicon wafers. The straightening block 43 adopts a long strip block structure, which can straighten all the silicon wafers in the basket, improving the straightening effect.
[0035] In practical use, the silicon wafer straightening and handling device of this embodiment transports a basket containing silicon wafers via a conveyor line 10. At this time, both the basket and the silicon wafers within it are in an irregular state. When the basket reaches the end of the conveyor line 10, it is blocked by a stop block 50. After the position of the basket is determined by a proximity switch 62, a solenoid valve 61 controls a clamping cylinder 31 to drive a clamping block 32, which clamps the basket. Then, the solenoid valve 61 controls the first straightening cylinder 41 and the second straightening cylinder 42 of the straightening unit 40. The sizing block 43 is driven to size the silicon wafers in the basket. After sizing the silicon wafers, the drive module 20 drives the conveyor line 10 through the bracket 21 to change the height position of the silicon wafers. Therefore, the silicon wafer sizing and transporting device in this embodiment realizes the effective sizing of the silicon wafers in the basket and transports the sized silicon wafers through the basket. No manual operation is required in this process, which improves the operation efficiency and effectively avoids the problem of silicon wafer breakage, thereby avoiding the impact on the subsequent processing of silicon wafers.
