The second connecting portion 25 is provided with a second projection 251, and the second projection 251 presses the second mechanical valve 15 to open the second mechanical valve 15. The cow is the first mechanical valve! 3 or the second mechanical valve 5 may be of a configuration having a gas-filling nozzle similar to a bicycle tire, and the first connecting portion 23 or the second connecting portion 25 may be of a configuration having a gas-filling nozzle similar to an inflator. When the robot arm (not shown) places the wafer cassette 20 containing a plurality of wafers 3 onto the support platform u_ of the cleaning device 1 (), the first bumps 231 of the first connection 4 23 touch and press down The first mechanical valve 13, thus causing the first mechanical valve 13 to open. At this time, a cleaning medium 24 such as air or nitrogen may pass through the first mechanical valve 13 and the first connecting portion 23 to enter the chamber 22 from the first line 12. At the same time, the second convex 255 of the second connecting portion 25 touches and presses the second mechanical % 15, thereby causing the second mechanical valve 15 to open. At this time, the cleaning medium 24 can again flow out of the chamber 22 through the second connecting portion 25 and the second mechanical valve 15 to reach the second line u, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the wafer 3 in the chamber 22. When the wafer cassette 20 is separated from the cleaning device 1, the first mechanical valve 13 and the second mechanical chamber 15 are closed. It is worth noting that the first mechanical valve 13 and the second mechanical valve 15 7 can be easily made by the sufficient weight of the wafer cassette 2〇.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the cleaning of the mechanical valve according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3' and FIG. 3, the present example is similar to the first embodiment, except that the second line M, the second mechanical cymbal 15 and the second connecting portion 25 are omitted in this embodiment. . In this case, the pressure difference between the cavity 22 and the atmosphere can be used to allow the cleaning medium 24 entering the chamber to flow out into the atmosphere through the gap between the cleaning device 1 and the wafer cassette 2〇. The main feature of the present invention is that the operation of opening the valve is achieved by the action of placing the wafer cassette 2 on the cleaning device 10. At present, there are a large number of wafer cassettes 20 and cleaning devices in the 2 production lines, so it is necessary to use a large number of cleaning medium control valves. Compared with the prior art, the design of the mechanical valve can simplify the configuration complexity of the line and reduce the cost.
