[0002] Monocrystalline silicon rod outer diameter processing equipment is a key piece of equipment in the photovoltaic and semiconductor industry chain. It is mainly used to perform precision processing on the diameter, roundness, and surface roughness of monocrystalline silicon rods to meet the process requirements of subsequent slicing or application.

[0003] A cylindrical grinding machine with easily replaceable grinding wheels is disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN223211175U. This cylindrical grinding machine with easily replaceable grinding wheels facilitates the replacement of grinding wheels through a unique grinding wheel fixing and replacement mechanism, greatly reducing maintenance and replacement time and labor intensity, and improving production efficiency. However, according to the cylindrical grinding machine with easily replaceable grinding wheels provided by related technologies and existing technologies: when processing single crystal silicon rods, traditional cylindrical grinding machines generally rely on a three-jaw chuck for centering and clamping. The workpiece needs to be centered and clamped by manually adjusting the position of the chuck. The steps are cumbersome and rely on human experience. After processing, the chuck needs to be loosened by reversing the operation. The entire loading and unloading process is time-consuming, which not only reduces the processing cycle of single crystal silicon rods, but also restricts the continuity of mass production.

[0024] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be further set forth in the description which follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a single-crystal silicon rod outer diameter processing equipment includes a grinding machine 1. The grinding machine 1 is equipped with a headstock 2 for driving the rotation of the single-crystal silicon rod and a tailstock 3 for clamping the free end of the single-crystal silicon rod. The output end of the headstock 2 is equipped with a clamping component 4 for limiting and clamping the single-crystal silicon rod and a trigger component 5 for controlling the clamping component 4 to clamp the single-crystal silicon rod under pressure. The tailstock 3 is fixedly installed with a pin 7 at the position corresponding to the axis of the clamping component 4. In use, one end of the single-crystal silicon rod is inserted into the clamping component 4. As the silicon rod is inserted, its end contacts and presses inward against the trigger component 5. The trigger component 5 then controls the clamping component 4 to automatically clamp the single-crystal silicon rod, thereby clamping and fixing the single-crystal silicon rod. After clamping, the position of the silicon rod remains unchanged. The tailstock 3 drives the pin 7 to clamp the other end of the silicon rod, limiting its lateral displacement, while maintaining the clamping state of the movable jaw 43. Subsequently, the headstock 2 drives the mounting flange 41 to rotate, causing the silicon rod to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the grinding disc of the grinding machine 1 processes the outer diameter of the silicon rod.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the clamping assembly 4 includes a mounting flange 41 fixedly installed at the output end of the head frame 2. Three fixed jaws 42 are fixedly provided on the side of the mounting flange 41 away from the head frame 2. The three fixed jaws 42 are arranged in a circumferential array. A movable jaw 43 is slidably installed radially between each pair of adjacent fixed jaws 42. The fixed jaws 42 are arc-shaped and have chamfered openings. Multiple balls 421 are evenly installed on the side of the fixed jaws 42 facing the clamping axis. Slide strips 8 are fixedly provided on both sides of the fixed jaws 42. Slide grooves 9 are provided on the movable jaws 43 corresponding to the positions of the slide strips 8. One end of the single crystal silicon rod is inserted between the three fixed jaws 42 under the guidance of the chamfered opening of the fixed jaws 42. During this process, the balls 421 on the fixed jaws 42 can effectively reduce the insertion resistance and reduce the wear on the surface of the silicon rod. After the silicon rod is inserted, the movable jaws 43 move along the slide grooves 9 towards the silicon rod under the limiting action of the slide strips 8, thereby clamping and fixing the single crystal silicon rod.

[0027] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the trigger assembly 5 includes a trigger plate 51 slidably mounted axially inside three fixed grippers 42. Each trigger plate 51 has an L-shaped claw 52 fixedly mounted at the position corresponding to each movable gripper 43. Multiple first wedge blocks 431 are fixedly mounted on the back side of each movable gripper 43. Each L-shaped claw 52 has a second wedge block 53 fixedly mounted at the position corresponding to each first wedge block 431. A synchronization bar 531 is fixedly mounted on the wedge-shaped surface of the second wedge block 53. A synchronization groove 432 for limiting the synchronization bar 531 is formed on the wedge-shaped surface of the first wedge block 431. A spring 6 is provided on the side of the trigger plate 51 near the mounting flange 41. As the silicon rod is inserted, its end contacts and presses inward against the trigger plate 51, causing the trigger plate 51 to... The compression spring 6 simultaneously drives the L-shaped claw 52 to move inward along the clamping axis. At this time, the second wedge block 53 on the L-shaped claw 52 pushes the first wedge block 431, causing the movable claw 43 to move along the slide groove 9 towards the silicon rod under the limiting action of the slide bar 8, thereby clamping and fixing the single crystal silicon rod. After processing, the tailstock 3 drives the ejector pin 7 to release the single crystal silicon rod. At this time, the spring 6 resets and pushes the trigger plate 51, driving the L-shaped claw 52 to return to its original position. The L-shaped claw 52 slides along the synchronization groove 432 through the synchronization bar 531 on the second wedge block 53, pulling the movable claw 43 away from the silicon rod, thereby achieving automatic release. This eliminates the need for manual tightening or loosening of the claw, reduces manual intervention and loading / unloading time, and improves the continuity of batch processing.

[0028] The work process is as follows:

[0029] S1: As Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, during use, one end of the single crystal silicon rod is inserted between the three fixed clamps 42 under the chamfered guide at the opening of the fixed clamp 42. During this process, the ball bearings 421 on the fixed clamps 42 can effectively reduce the insertion resistance and reduce the wear on the surface of the silicon rod.

[0030] S2: As Figures 3 to 5 As shown, as the silicon rod is inserted, its end contacts and presses inward against the trigger plate 51, causing the trigger plate 51 to compress the spring 6, and at the same time driving the L-shaped claw 52 to move inward along the clamping axis.

[0031] S3: As Figures 4 to 6 As shown, at this time, the second wedge block 53 on the L-shaped claw 52 pushes the first wedge block 431, so that the movable claw 43 moves along the slide groove 9 towards the silicon rod under the limiting action of the slide bar 8, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the single crystal silicon rod.

[0032] S4: As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, after clamping, keeping the silicon rod in the same position, the tailstock 3 drives the ejector pin 7 to press against the other end of the silicon rod, restricting its lateral displacement, while maintaining the clamping state of the movable jaw 43. Subsequently, the headstock 2 drives the mounting flange 41 to rotate, causing the silicon rod to rotate synchronously, and the grinding disc of the grinding machine 1 processes the outer circle of the silicon rod;

[0033] S5: As Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, after processing is completed, the tailstock 3 drives the ejector pin 7 to release the single crystal silicon rod. At this time, the spring 6 resets and pushes the trigger plate 51 to drive the L-shaped claw 52 back to its original position. The L-shaped claw 52 slides along the synchronous groove 432 through the synchronous bar 531 on the second wedge block 53, pulling the movable gripper 43 away from the silicon rod to achieve automatic release and facilitate quick removal of the silicon rod.

[0034] S6: As Figure 2 As shown, through the above operations, the movable gripper 43 automatically clamps when the silicon rod is inserted and automatically releases after processing, eliminating the need for manual tightening or loosening of the gripper, reducing manual intervention and loading / unloading time, and improving the continuity of batch processing.

[0035] In this application, the grinding machine 1, headstock 2, and tailstock 3 are known technologies in this field, and therefore their specific structures and working principles are not described in detail.

[0036] 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 claimed utility model.
