Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of double-sided grinding / polishing technology, and particularly relates to an adjustable gear resistance structure. Background Technology

[0002] In high-precision manufacturing fields, such as semiconductor and ceramic substrate processing, double-sided grinding / polishing technology is a key process for achieving global planarization and ultra-smooth, damage-free surfaces. Traditional double-sided grinding / polishing machines typically employ a planetary gear system. The workpiece is placed in a carrier (planetary gears) and driven by a central gear and an internal gear ring, performing complex planetary motions between two polishing pads to achieve uniform material removal.

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems:

[0004] During the polishing process, instability of the gear ring, planetary gear, and center tooth can lead to surface defects such as "wavy" texture, protrusions, and depressions on the workpiece, resulting in excessive global flatness (TTV, GBIR) indicators. The root cause is that the vibration and speed fluctuations of the gear ring and center tooth are directly transmitted to the workpiece carrier through gear meshing, causing the workpiece's movement trajectory on the polishing pad to deviate from the ideal smooth curve and become chaotic. This unstable movement results in inconsistent material removal rate (MRR) at different points on the workpiece surface, making it impossible to achieve uniform removal and thus compromising surface accuracy.

[0005] CN212893291U - Rope and Gear Tension Adjustment Fixer, relates to the technical field of rope and belt winding and fixing devices, and solves the technical shortcomings of existing rope and gear tension adjustment fixers, which are inconvenient to operate. It includes: a main housing, a winding wheel, a bottom cover, a handle wheel and transmission gears; the bottom of the main housing is provided with a winding wheel cavity, and the winding wheel is located in the winding wheel cavity; however, it still cannot solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

The adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the frictional force between the brake pad 11 and the gear, enabling control of the backlash during transmission, counteracting the reverse radial force generated during transmission, reducing gear slippage, and improving transmission accuracy. This achieves the goal of improving the overall machining accuracy.

[0027] The guide shaft 7 is provided with a retaining ring 9 that limits the axial position of the damping teeth 6, which serves to limit the axial position of the damping teeth 6.
