[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the device is in use, several wafers are placed on a rotating disk. The sliding component drives the dicing table to slide on the dicing stand, controlling the dicing blade to slide above the wafers. Then, the adjusting component drives two dicing motors to move towards each other, which can change the distance between the two dicing blades. Then, the dicing motors are turned on, and the dicing motors drive the dicing blades to rotate. Finally, the lifting component moves the dicing stand closer to the frame, so that the rotating dicing blades come into contact with the wafers, and the two dicing blades can cut the wafers simultaneously. When different wafers need to be cut, the sliding stand can be moved by the conveyor belt to change the position of the stage, or the rotating component can drive the rotating disk to rotate, which can control the dicing blades to cut wafers at different positions. This realizes synchronous cutting with dual dicing heads, improves cutting efficiency, and can adapt to different processing needs.

The two adjusting blocks are quickly controlled to move towards each other. By changing the distance between the two adjusting blocks, the distance between the two cutters can be quickly changed, which is convenient for high-precision cutting of wafers of different widths and improves the applicability of the device.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0027] This application discloses a wafer dicing apparatus. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The system includes a frame 1, with a conveyor belt 11 connecting the frames. The conveyor belt 11 is driven by a motor and roller tensioning mechanism. A support frame is also provided between the frames 1 to abut against the conveyor belt 11, keeping it horizontal. A sliding seat 2 is connected to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11. The sliding seat 2 is horizontally positioned and has a stage 21 for placing wafers. The sliding seat 2 has a clamping element for fixing the stage 21; this clamping element is an electric clamp 10. Two electric clamps 10 are symmetrically arranged on the sliding seat 2. The stage 21 can be detached from the sliding seat 2. After the stage 21 is placed on the sliding seat 2, the electric clamp 10 quickly clamps the stage 21, making operation convenient and quick.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cutting stand 3 is mounted on the frame 1, with its length aligned with the width of the frame 1. A lifting assembly is installed between the cutting stand 3 and the frame 1. A sliding component is mounted on the cutting stand 3, and a cutting table 31 is connected to the sliding component. The cutting table 31 can slide along the length of the cutting stand 3. A set of cutting motors 32 are symmetrically arranged on the cutting table 31, and the drive shafts of the cutting motors 32 are connected to cutters 33. In use, the wafer is placed on the stage 21, and the sliding component drives the cutting table 31 to slide on the cutting stand 3. The cutter 33 is controlled to slide above the wafer. Then, the cutting motors 32 are turned on, causing the cutter 33 to rotate. Finally, the lifting assembly moves the cutting stand 3 closer to the frame 1, so that the rotating cutter 33 comes into contact with the wafer. The two cutters 33 can cut the wafer simultaneously.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The lifting assembly includes a guide rod 41 and a lead screw slide rail 42, which are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the frame 1. Both the guide rod 41 and the lead screw slide rail 42 are vertically oriented. The guide rod 41 is slidably connected to one end of the cutting seat 3, and the lead screw slide rail 42 is slidably connected to the other end of the cutting seat 3. When it is necessary to control the vertical lifting of the cutting seat 3 on the frame 1, the lead screw slide rail 42 operates, and the guide rod 41 guides the cutting seat 3, enabling precise control of the height of the cutting seat 3 on the frame 1. This facilitates high-precision cutting of wafers of different thicknesses by the cutter 33. The sliding component is a linear drive electric cylinder 5, which is fixedly mounted on the cutting seat 3. The telescopic shaft of the linear drive electric cylinder 5 is connected to the cutting table 31. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the linear drive electric cylinder 5 can quickly control the cutting table 31 to slide along the length direction of the cutting seat 3, change the position of the cutting table 31 on the cutting seat 3, and accurately control the position of the cutter 33 above the rotary disk 22, so as to facilitate precise control of wafer cutting at different positions.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An adjustment assembly is provided on the cutting table 31. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment block 61, an adjustment motor 62, an adjustment rod 63, a first threaded section 64, and a second threaded section 65. The adjustment block 61 is connected to the cutting motor 32 and is slidably mounted on the cutting table 31. The adjustment rod 63 is rotatably mounted on the cutting table 31, and its length direction is along the width direction of the frame 1. The adjustment motor 62 is fixedly mounted on the cutting table 31 by bolts, and its drive shaft is connected to the adjustment rod 63. The first threaded section 64 and the second threaded section 65 are symmetrically arranged on the adjustment rod 63 and have opposite screwing directions. One adjustment block 61 is threadedly connected to the first threaded section 64, and the other adjustment block 61 is threadedly connected to the second threaded section 65. The adjusting motor 62 drives the adjusting rod 63 to rotate. After the adjusting block 61 is guided by the cutting table 31, one adjusting block 61 slides on the first threaded section 64 and the other adjusting block 61 slides on the second threaded section 65, so that the two adjusting blocks 61 move towards each other. This can change the distance between the two adjusting blocks 61, thereby quickly adjusting the distance between the two cutters 33. This facilitates high-precision cutting of wafers of different widths and improves the applicability of the device.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 The cutting motor 32 is mounted on the lower surface of the adjusting block 61. A dovetail block 71 is fixedly mounted on the top of the cutting motor 32. A dovetail groove 72 is provided on the side wall of the adjusting block 61 for the dovetail block 71 to be inserted. The dovetail block 71 and the dovetail groove 72 are mutually compatible. By utilizing the cooperation between the dovetail block 71 and the dovetail groove 72, the cutting motor 32 and the adjusting block 61 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which facilitates the maintenance of the cutting motor 32. Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A rotating disk 22 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the stage 21. A rotating assembly is provided between the stage 21 and the rotating disk 22. The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 91, a gear 92, a rack 93, and a cylinder 94. The rotating disk 22 is rotatably connected to the stage 21 via the rotating shaft 91. The gear 92 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 91 and is coaxial with the rotating shaft 91. The cylinder 94 is mounted on the stage 21. The piston rod of the cylinder 94 is connected to the rack 93. The gear 92 and the rack 93 mesh with each other. The cylinder 94 drives the rack 93 to slide, and the rack 93 abuts against the gear 92, thereby driving the rotating shaft 91 and the rotating disk 22 to rotate. This facilitates wafer cutting from different angles and helps meet different processing requirements.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjusting block 61 is also equipped with a spray head 8 for spraying deionized water. While cutting, the spray head 8 sprays deionized water onto the surface of the cutter 33, which helps to improve product quality. Several through holes 111 are provided through the surface of the conveyor belt 11. A return plate 12 is provided between the frames 1 and below the conveyor belt 11. After the deionized water flows on the conveyor belt 11, it drips into the return plate 12 through the through holes 111, which facilitates the recycling and reuse of the deionized water and helps to reduce waste.
[0033] The implementation principle of the wafer dicing device in this application embodiment is as follows: When the device is in use, several wafers are placed on the rotary disk 22. The linear drive electric cylinder 5 drives the dicing table 31 to slide on the dicing seat 3, controlling the cutter 33 to slide above the wafer. Then, the adjustment component drives two dicing motors 32 to move towards each other, which can change the distance between the two cutters 33. Then, the dicing motors 32 are turned on, and the dicing motors 32 drive the cutter 33 to rotate. Finally, the lifting component drives the dicing seat 3 to move closer to the frame 1, so that the rotating cutter 33 abuts against the wafer. The two cutters 33 can cut the wafer simultaneously. When different wafers need to be cut, the conveyor belt 11 can drive the sliding seat 2 to slide to change the position of the stage 21, or the rotary component can drive the rotary disk 22 to rotate, which can control the cutter 33 to cut the wafers at different positions. This realizes synchronous cutting of dual cutting heads, improves cutting efficiency, and has high control precision, which can adapt to different processing needs.
[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
