[0029] Example

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model proposes a wafer inspection and placement fixture, including a placement assembly. The placement assembly includes a protective plate 1, with pads 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate 1. A long shaft 4 is fixedly connected inside the protective plate 1, with two sets of long shafts 4 arranged symmetrically. A placement plate 6 is fixedly connected outside the long shafts 4, with two sets of placement plates 6 arranged symmetrically. A back plate 3 is fixedly connected inside the protective plate 1 near the placement plate 6. The long shafts 4 can fix the placement plate 6 inside the protective plate 1. A short shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the placement plate 6, which can reinforce the connection of the placement plate 6. The top of the placement plate 6 is set in an inclined opening shape, and the opening of the placement plate 6 can be used to hold wafers. A lifting assembly is provided outside the protective plate 1 for transferring the protective plate 1. A center of gravity lowering assembly is provided at the position of the lifting assembly for lowering the center of gravity when moving the protective plate 1. A locking assembly is provided inside the center of gravity lowering assembly for restricting the position of the lifting assembly.

[0031] For further details, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The lifting assembly includes a rotating shaft 9, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the guard plate 1. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 9 away from the guard plate 1. The handle 7 can lift the guard plate 1 by rotating the rotating shaft 9. The handle 7 is U-shaped. The center of gravity lowering assembly includes a sliding groove 8, which is opened on the outside of the guard plate 1 near the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 can lower the center of gravity of the guard plate 1 by sliding along the sliding groove 8, which facilitates stable transfer. The sliding groove 8 is L-shaped. The structure of the sliding groove 8 makes it convenient to place the handle 7 on the outside of the guard plate 1. The inside of the sliding groove 8 near the top is rough. The rough structure of the sliding groove 8 can prevent the rotating shaft 9 from shaking inside the sliding groove 8.

[0032] For further details, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The locking assembly includes a lifting groove 10, with a positioning pin 11 slidably connected inside the lifting groove 10. The positioning pin 11 can fix the position of the rotating shaft 9 by sliding along the lifting groove 10. The positioning pin 11 is L-shaped, and the side of the positioning pin 11 away from the rotating shaft 9 is beveled. The beveled surface of the positioning pin 11 facilitates the sliding of the rotating shaft 9 to the other side of the positioning pin 11. An adjustment port 12 is provided near the positioning pin 11 on the guard plate 1. The adjustment port 12 facilitates the operation of the positioning pin 11. The bent part of the positioning pin 11 is slidably connected inside the adjustment port 12. A slide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the guard plate 1 near the adjustment port 12. A dustproof plate 13 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 14. The dustproof plate 13 can prevent dust from entering the lifting groove 10 along the adjustment port 12 when the positioning pin 11 is operated. The dustproof plate 13 abuts against one side of the positioning pin 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, during placement, the wafers are embedded one by one into the opening of the placement plate 6 for fixation. The long axis 4 can support the placement plate 6, and the short axis 5 can reinforce the placement plate 6 between the placement plates. In this way, the protective plate 1 can place the wafers layer by layer, and there are gaps between the wafers for easy inspection.

[0034] When it is necessary to move the plate, first pull the positioning pin 11 at the adjustment port 12 position, so that the positioning pin 11 slides along the adjustment port 12 and the inside of the lifting groove 10. In this way, the positioning pin 11 will disengage from the rotating shaft 9 position. Then, you can pull the handle 7, so that the handle 7 drives the rotating shaft 9 to slide along the inside of the sliding groove 8. When the rotating shaft 9 slides to the vertical position, you can lift the guard plate 1 through the handle 7. In this way, the guard plate 1 can be transferred. Since the guard plate 1 is relatively heavy, the center of gravity of the guard plate 1 is low, which can reduce swaying.

[0035] The rough position of the rotating shaft 9 inside the sliding groove 8 can further reduce the shaking of the guard plate 1 during transportation. After transportation, the handle 7 can be laid flat, so that the rotating shaft 9 can slide along the inside of the sliding groove 8. Then push the handle 7 to move the rotating shaft 9 towards the positioning pin 11. At this time, the rotating shaft 9 will be pressed against the oblique position of the positioning pin 11. When the rotating shaft 9 is fully pushed into the sliding groove 8, the positioning pin 11 will fall down to restrict the rotating shaft 9.

[0036] When the positioning pin 11 slides repeatedly, the positioning pin 11 will drive the dustproof plate 13 to slide along the inside of the slide rail 14, so that the dustproof plate 13 can prevent dust from entering the lifting groove 10 from the adjustment port 12.

[0037] It should be noted that the placement plate 6 of this device can hold the wafer and leave enough gap for testing, while the rotating shaft 9 slides along the sliding groove 8 so that the handle 7 can lift the protective plate 1. In this way, the sliding groove 8 achieves the effect of lowering the center of gravity of the protective plate 1. The positioning pin 11 can lock the rotating shaft 9 when it is laid flat, which increases the effect of lowering the center of gravity of the protective plate 1 and improves the stability of the protective plate 1 during transportation.

[0038] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
