Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Features of the embodiments described below may be combined with each other without conflict.
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, a dual-chamber lift-type wafer transferring apparatus 100 for transferring a wafer (not shown) is provided in an embodiment of the invention.

Further, a displacement difference detecting element 160 is mounted on the lifting frame 130, and the displacement difference detecting element 160 is used for detecting the displacement difference between the two ends of the lifting frame 130 in the lifting direction and controlling the driving motor 140 to be suspended when the displacement difference is greater than or equal to a preset difference value. Specifically, when the displacement difference between the two ends of the lifting frame 130 in the lifting direction is greater than or equal to the preset difference, it is indicated that the lifting frame 130 is inclined, the lifting synchronicity between the two ends of the lifting frame 130 is poor, the synchronous loading and unloading of the two wafers are directly affected, at this time, the displacement difference detecting element 160 controls the driving motor 140 to pause and gives an alarm to the staff, so as to prompt the staff to overhaul and maintain the whole dual-cavity lifting wafer transfer device 100, and ensure that the displacement difference between the two ends of the lifting frame 130 in the lifting direction is smaller than the preset difference.
The transmission mechanism 150 includes a coupling 151, a lead screw 152, a nut 153, and a collet 154. The driving motor 140 is connected with the screw 152 through a coupling 151, the driving motor 140 can drive the screw 152 to rotate through the coupling 151, and the coupling 151 is used for guaranteeing transmission stability and transmission efficiency. Specifically, the lead screw 152 passes through the nut 153 and is in threaded fit with the nut 153, the jacket 154 is mounted on the lifting frame 130 and is sleeved outside the nut 153, the jacket 154 is used for fixing the relative positions of the nut 153 and the lifting frame 130, the lead screw 152 can drive the nut 153 to displace along the axial direction of the lead screw 152 in the rotating process, so that the lifting frame 130 is driven to ascend or descend through the jacket 154, and further, two jacking pieces 170 mounted at two ends of the lifting frame 130 are driven to ascend or descend, so that synchronous loading and unloading of two wafers are facilitated in time.
The collet 154 includes a sleeve portion 1541, a connecting portion 1542, a first movable portion 1543, and a second movable portion 1544. The first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the connection portion 1542, and are connected to the connection portion 1542, and the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 are movable relative to the connection portion 1542. The first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 are arranged at intervals, and are connected through the adjusting screw 155, the adjusting screw 155 can adjust the distance between the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, and the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 can move relative to the connecting portion 1542 in the process of adjusting the distance. The sleeve portion 1541 is connected to the connection portion 1542 and is disposed at an interval with the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, so as to avoid interference to the movement of the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 during the adjustment of the spacing, and ensure the stability of the adjustment of the spacing.
Further, the first movable portion 1543 and the lifting frame 130 are connected by a first set screw 156, and the first set screw 156 is used for fixing the relative position of the first movable portion 1543 and the lifting frame 130, so as to prevent the first movable portion 1543 from being separated from the lifting frame 130, and thus prevent the jacket 154 from being separated from the lifting frame 130. Specifically, since the position of the first movable portion 1543 is defined, when the adjustment screw 155 adjusts the spacing of the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, the first movable portion 1543 remains stationary, and the second movable portion 1544 moves relative to the connecting portion 1542 and approaches or moves away from the first movable portion 1543.
The sleeve portion 1541 is sleeved outside a part of the nut 153, the sleeve portion 1541 is coaxially disposed with the nut 153, the connecting portion 1542, the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 are jointly surrounded outside another part of the nut 153, and the sleeve portion 1541, the connecting portion 1542, the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 jointly act to limit the nut 153. Specifically, the nut 153 is clamped between the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, and the adjusting screw 155 is used for adjusting the distance between the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, so as to clamp or unclamp the nut 153, thereby facilitating the installation and the disassembly of the nut 153 and improving the maintenance efficiency.
In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 1541, the connecting portion 1542, the first movable portion 1543, and the second movable portion 1544 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength.
Preferably, the nut 153 is made of an elastic material, and the nut 153 can be elastically deformed under the action of the adjusting screw 155 to ensure the matching precision of the nut 153 and the screw 152, thereby precisely controlling the lifting height of the lifting frame 130. Specifically, since the first movable portion 1543 is connected to the lifting frame 130 through the first set screw 156, the gravity of the lifting frame 130 is transferred to the nut 153 through the first movable portion 1543, so that the partial nut 153 (the partial nut 153 sandwiched between the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544) corresponding to the position of the first movable portion 1543 is stressed most during the lifting of the lifting frame 130 by the driving motor 140, so that the abrasion of the partial nut 153 during the threaded engagement with the screw 152 is also maximized, and when the partial nut 153 is abraded to a certain extent, the engagement accuracy of the nut 153 with the screw 152 is affected. In contrast, in the present invention, when the portion of the nut 153 is worn to a certain extent, the adjusting screw 155 is used to reduce the distance between the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, so as to clamp and elastically deform the portion of the nut 153, so that the portion of the nut 153 is tightly fitted with the screw 152 again, and the precision of the fitting of the nut 153 with the screw 152 is ensured.
In the present embodiment, the nut 153 is made of metal or alloy material, preferably tin bronze, which has good elasticity and can be elastically deformed adaptively with the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, but not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the nut 153 may be made of other materials, and the material of the nut 153 is not particularly limited.
In this embodiment, the lifting frame 130 is provided with the yielding hole 131, the sleeve portion 1541 passes through the yielding hole 131, and the connecting portion 1542, the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 are attached to the lifting frame 130, so as to ensure the connection reliability of the jacket 154 and the lifting frame 130. The screw 152 is disposed through the collet 154 from bottom to top and is threadedly engaged with a nut 153 within the collet 154.
Preferably, the transmission mechanism 150 further includes a positioning block 157. The positioning block 157 is disposed on a side of the first movable portion 1543 away from the sleeve portion 1541, and is connected to the first movable portion 1543 by a second set screw 158, where the second set screw 158 is used to fix a relative position between the first movable portion 1543 and the positioning block 157, so as to prevent the positioning block 157 from being separated from the first movable portion 1543. Specifically, a flange 1545 is disposed at one end of the sleeve portion 1541 away from the connecting portion 1542, the nut 153 is clamped between the flange 1545 and the positioning block 157, and the flange 1545 and the positioning block 157 cooperate to limit the nut 153 and prevent the nut 153 from moving up and down relative to the jacket 154, so as to ensure the stability of lifting the lifting frame 130 driven by the jacket 154 under the action of rotation of the screw 152.
Further, the positioning block 157 is arc-shaped, the positioning block 157 is enclosed outside the screw 152 and is coaxial with the screw 152 and arranged at intervals, so that interference to rotation of the screw 152 is avoided, the nut 153 is abutted against the positioning block 157, and the positioning block 157 can support and position the nut 153, so that the nut 153 is prevented from falling out of the jacket 154.
In this embodiment, the positioning block 157 is arranged in a semicircular shape, the projection of the positioning block 157 on the plane on which the first movable portion 1543 is located completely falls in the first movable portion 1543, and since the first movable portion 1543 is connected to the lifting frame 130 by the first fastening screw 156 and the positioning block 157 is connected to the first movable portion 1543 by the second fastening screw 158, the relative position between the positioning block 157 and the lifting frame 130 is fixed, and the positioning effect of the positioning block 157 on the nut 153 is ensured.
It should be noted that, when the nut 153 is severely worn and needs to be replaced, the second set screw 158 is first loosened to detach the positioning block 157; the adjusting screw 155 is unscrewed to release the limiting function of the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544, and at this time, the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544 no longer clamp the nut 153; then, the old nut 153 in the collet 154 is taken out, and the new nut 153 is put into the collet 154; the adjusting screw 155 is then tightened to clamp the nut 153 by the first movable portion 1543 and the second movable portion 1544; next, the positioning block 157 is mounted, and the second set screw 158 is tightened, thereby completing the replacement of the nut 153.

The lifting frame 130 includes a fitting block 133, two connecting arms 134, and two reinforcing ribs 135. The two connecting arms 134 are oppositely arranged at two sides of the matching block 133, and are connected with the matching block 133. The matching block 133 is connected with the jacket 154 of the transmission mechanism 150, and the driving motor 140 can drive the matching block 133 to ascend or descend through the transmission mechanism 150 so as to drive the whole lifting frame 130 to ascend or descend. Specifically, each reinforcing rib 135 is simultaneously connected with the matching block 133 and one connecting arm 134 to improve the structural strength of the whole lifting frame 130, each lifting member 170 is mounted at a free end of one connecting arm 134, and the connecting arm 134 can drive the lifting member 170 to rise or fall so as to drive the wafer on the lifting member 170 to rise or fall.
