These terms are only used to distinguish one element or parameter from another element or parameter. For example, a first wire slot may be referred to as a second wire slot, and similarly, a second wire slot may be referred to as a first wire slot, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first and second wire slots are both described as one wire slot, but they are not the same wire slot unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Similar situations also include a first wire cutting unit and a second wire cutting unit, or a first cutting wheel set and a second cutting wheel set.

Crystalline silicon is usually processed into a silicon wafer form in industrial production and then used for product manufacturing, wherein originally obtained silicon rods comprise a monocrystalline silicon rod and a polycrystalline silicon rod, the monocrystalline silicon rod is a rod-shaped monocrystalline silicon grown from a melt by using a czochralski method or a suspension zone melting method, for example, a monocrystalline silicon rod with a length specification of 5000mm or 5360mm, or a monocrystalline silicon rod with a length of about 800mm, etc., which are commonly used in silicon rod processing, and the polycrystalline silicon is a silicon rod obtained by precipitating silicon on the surface of a silicon core wire by using a precipitation technology such as a chemical vapor deposition technology.

The existing silicon wafer manufacturing process generally comprises the steps of firstly pulling a polycrystalline silicon brittle material into a single crystal silicon rod, and then squaring by using a squarer; at the moment, the cutting mechanism feeds along the length direction of the silicon rod and cuts four planes which are parallel in pairs along the circumferential direction of the silicon rod, so that the cross section of the silicon rod is in a similar rectangle shape; and after the evolution is finished, slicing the silicon rod after evolution along the length direction by adopting a multi-line slicing machine to obtain the required silicon wafer.

In the operation of evolution to the silicon rod, need will treat cutting silicon rod (promptly the silicon rod that has not already undergone the evolution) and load the predetermined position that bears on the silicon rod evolution equipment to in cooperation with the wire-electrode cutting device and carry out the evolution cutting with predetermined specification to the silicon rod, after the evolution is accomplished, need will cut the silicon rod and transport the bearing structure who leaves the frame so that silicon rod evolution equipment can continue to cut the processing and treat cutting silicon rod.

The application provides a silicon rod loading and unloading device for silicon rod squaring equipment, the silicon rod squaring equipment comprises a base, a silicon rod bearing structure and a wire cutting device, wherein the silicon rod bearing structure is used for bearing a vertically placed silicon rod; the silicon rod handling device includes: the first support is hung on the base through a mounting frame; the silicon rod clamp is arranged on the first support and used for clamping a silicon rod to be cut or a cut silicon rod; and the shifting mechanism is used for driving the first support and the silicon rod clamp thereon to shift on the mounting frame along at least one direction, so that the silicon rod clamp moves to a first preset position to clamp the silicon rod to be cut or the cut silicon rod and moves the clamped silicon rod to be cut or the cut silicon rod to a second preset position.

Here, the first predetermined position and the second predetermined position are limited to fixed positions or areas established in the established coordinate system, and in the example provided in the present application, by determining a transfer path of the handling apparatus in handling, a starting position of a first support in the silicon rod handling apparatus in the transfer path is taken as a first predetermined position and an end position of the first support is taken as a second predetermined position in accordance with a time sequence of the transfer. When the silicon rod loading and unloading device carries out a feeding process, the position of the silicon rod clamp for clamping the silicon rod to be cut is a first preset position, and the moving mechanism moves to move the silicon rod to be cut to the position above the bearing surface of the silicon rod bearing structure so as to place the silicon rod to be cut on the silicon rod bearing structure and take the position as a second preset position; on the contrary, when the silicon rod handling device performs a blanking process of transferring the cut silicon rod after the cutting out from the base, the first support is located at the position adjacent to the silicon rod carrying structure to hold the cut silicon rod as an initial position, that is, a first predetermined position, and the position where the cut silicon rod is transferred away from the base by the silicon rod clamp and released is a second predetermined position.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural view of a silicon rod handling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown, the first bracket 31 is hung on the base by a mounting frame 33. The first support 31 may serve as a support structure for the silicon rod holder 32, and the first support 31 is movably disposed on the mounting frame 33 and is movable in at least one direction by the displacement mechanism, thereby moving the silicon rod to be cut or the cut silicon rod held by the silicon rod holder 32.

The mounting frame 33 is arranged above the machine base, where the mounting frame 33 may be used to determine the path and range span along which the first support 31 is moved along the mounting frame 33, in some embodiments, as in the example shown in fig. 1, the mounting frame 33 is arranged above the silicon rod carrying features of the handling area in the silicon rod processing platform of the machine base, while the length range of the mounting frame 33 in the first direction is larger than the handling area, or the end point of the length of the mounting frame 33 in the first direction is located outside the silicon rod carrying features of the handling area, so that the first support 31, when moving along the mounting frame 33, may be moved to the position adjacent to any silicon rod carrying feature of the handling area to position a silicon rod to be cut on the corresponding silicon rod carrying feature or to transfer a cut silicon rod on the silicon rod carrying feature away from the handling area. The loading and unloading area is an area for loading and unloading on a silicon rod processing platform of the silicon rod squaring device. For example, in some examples, the mounting frame 33 is disposed parallel to a wire cutting support of the silicon rod squaring apparatus to take full advantage of the equipment space left above the machine base.

The silicon rod handling device 3 may be mounted on a base of the silicon rod extraction apparatus via a mounting frame 33, and in some examples, the silicon rod handling device 3 may also be detachable as a separate component from the silicon rod extraction apparatus, for example as a separate sales device. For example, the mounting frame 33 and the silicon rod squaring device are detachably connected, and the mounting frame 33, the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamp 32 may be disposed on the silicon rod squaring device; for another example, the first support 31 and the mounting frame 33 are detachably connected, and the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamp 32 may be disposed on a silicon rod squaring device including the mounting frame 33 or a hoisting frame.

The silicon rod holder 32 is provided on the first support 31, and here, the silicon rod holder 32 includes a silicon rod holder that contacts a surface of a silicon rod and performs a holding or releasing action. In some examples, the silicon rod holder 32 comprises a silicon rod holding member, and in this example, the holding surface of the silicon rod holding member may be configured to have a height to ensure that the contact area of the silicon rod holding member with the side surface of the silicon rod placed vertically in the holding state can be held.

Referring to fig. 2a, a schematic view of a first support 31 and a silicon rod clamp of the silicon rod handling device of the present application is shown in one example. As shown in fig. 2a, any one of the silicon rod clamping members on the first support 31 includes a first clamping arm 321 and a second clamping arm 322 disposed opposite to each other, and a clamping arm driving mechanism 320 for driving the first clamping arm 321 and the first clamping arm 321 to open and close. It should be understood that the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 may be arranged in a mirror image manner or in a symmetrical manner, and when the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 perform a closing action, they can be used to approach and clamp the silicon rod; when the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 perform an opening action, the silicon rod can be released.

In some embodiments, the first and second clamp arms have clamp arcs and clamp planes. Here, the silicon rod clamping member may be configured to clamp a silicon rod to be cut or a cut silicon rod, and in order to vertically place the clamped silicon rod on the silicon rod supporting structure or clamp the vertically placed silicon rod from the silicon rod supporting structure, the first clamp arm and the first clamp arm clamp the side surface of the silicon rod through opening and closing actions, that is, the silicon rod is vertical in a clamping state. Correspondingly, the first clamping arm and the first clamping arm are provided with clamping arc surfaces adapted to the arc surfaces of the silicon rods to be cut and clamping planes adapted to the planes of the side surfaces of the cut silicon rods.

The clamping arc surfaces of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are not limited to arc surfaces for contacting silicon rods, and in some implementations, reference is made to fig. 2a to 3b, which are shown as side views and bottom views of the silicon rod clamping member of the present application in different clamping states, wherein fig. 2a and 2b are schematic perspective views and bottom views of the silicon rod clamping member clamping a silicon rod to be cut having an arc-shaped side surface, and fig. 3a and 3b are schematic perspective views and bottom views of the silicon rod clamping member clamping a cut silicon rod. As shown in the figure, a clamping arc surface and a clamping plane are symmetrically arranged on the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.

As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the clamping arc surface may be a contact plane which is disposed in different directions according to the curvature of the surface of the silicon rod, and in the view shown in fig. 3b, the planes in different directions on a single clamping arm are symmetrical to the diameter of the cross section of the silicon rod, so that the pressures applied to the silicon rod by the first clamping arm 321 and the second clamping arm 322 during clamping meet at the center of the cross section of the silicon rod, so as to prevent the extension lines of the resultant force of the pressures applied to the silicon rod in the clamped state from being outside the clamping arc surface and causing the silicon rod to have a tendency to separate from the silicon rod clamping member.

In certain implementation manners, the clamping arc surfaces of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm exceed an arc of one fourth of the side surface of the silicon rod to be cut, and a clamping contact surface formed during clamping exceeds one half of the arc of the side surface of the silicon rod; moreover, a buffer cushion can be further arranged on the clamping arc surface to avoid damaging the surface of the silicon rod in a clamping state. The buffer cushion is made of elastic rubber material, or silica gel or other materials with elastic deformation, damping characteristics or buffering characteristics, so as to prevent the surface of the silicon rod to be cut or the cut silicon rod from being scratched or cracked during clamping and transporting.

In some examples, the clamp arm drive mechanism comprises: an opening and closing gear, a rack, and a driving source (not shown); the driving source is connected with the gear driving piece and used for driving the gear driving piece to move.

In one implementation, the gear driving member is a rack, the rack is located between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, two outer side surfaces of the clamping arms facing two sides in the rack are respectively provided with toothed patterns corresponding to the engagement of the opening and closing gears on the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the driving source can be, for example, a driving motor or an air cylinder. Thus, according to the above implementation manner, in practical application, when clamping of the clamping arm needs to be realized, the rack serving as the gear driving part is driven by the driving motor or the air cylinder serving as the driving source to move upwards, the opening and closing gears meshed at two sides are driven by the rack to perform outward rotation, and the opening and closing gears drive the clamping arm (the opening and closing gears can be connected with the clamping arm through the rotating shaft) to perform downward movement in the outward rotation process so as to be switched from a loosening state to a clamping state; on the contrary, when the clamping arm needs to be loosened, the driving motor (or the air cylinder) serving as a driving source drives the rack serving as a gear driving part to move downwards, the rack drives the opening and closing gears meshed at two sides to do internal rotation, and the opening and closing gears drive the clamping arm (the opening and closing gears are connected with the clamping arm through the rotating shaft) to do lifting motion in the internal rotation process so as to change from the clamping state to the loosening state. Of course, the above is only an example, and is not intended to limit the working state of the silicon rod clamping member, and actually, the above-mentioned "up", "outward rotation", "downward", "inward rotation", "upward", and "loose" and "clamped" state changes may be changed according to the structure and operation manner of the clamping arm, and the configuration of the clamping arm driving mechanism.

In another implementation, please refer to fig. 4, which is a schematic structural view of a silicon rod clamping member of the silicon rod handling device of the present application in one embodiment. As shown, the clamp arm drive mechanism 320 includes: a first rack 3201, a second rack 3202, a clamping cylinder 3203, and a transmission gear 3204; the first rack 3201 is linked with the first clamping arm, the second rack 3202 is linked with the second clamping arm, and the transmission gear 3204 is meshed with the first rack 3201 and the second rack 3202, and is used for driving the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move oppositely to perform a closing action when rotating in a forward direction, and driving the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move backwards to perform an opening action when rotating in a reverse direction. Based on the basic rule of external meshing between gears or between gears and racks, the first rack 3201 moves in the reverse direction of the linear velocity of the upper side tooth part of the transmission gear 3204 when the transmission gear 3204 rotates; the second rack 3202 moves in a reverse direction of a linear velocity of a lower tooth portion of the transmission gear 3204 when the transmission gear 3204 rotates. The first rack 3201 and the second rack 3202, which are symmetrical about the center of the gear when the driving gear 3204 rotates, necessarily satisfy the relationship of opposite linear velocity directions, i.e., exhibit movements approaching each other or moving away from each other. For example, when the clamping cylinder 3203 pushes the first rack 3201 or the second rack 3202 to move so as to drive the transmission gear 3204 to rotate, when the transmission gear 3204 is in the forward rotation state, the first rack 3201 and the second rack 3202 approach each other to drive the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to approach each other to perform a closing action; when the transmission gear 3204 is in a reverse rotation state, the first rack 3201 and the second rack 3202 are away from each other to drive the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm away from each other to perform an opening action.

In yet another implementation, the clamp arm drive mechanism includes a first rack, a second rack, and a drive gear; the first rack is linked with the first clamping arm, the second rack is linked with the second clamping arm, the driving gear is connected with a power output shaft (not shown) of the driving motor and meshed with the first rack and the second rack, and the driving gear is used for driving the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move oppositely to execute closing action when rotating forwards and driving the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move backwards to execute opening action when rotating reversely. The first rack and the second rack can be meshed with two sides of the driving gear, so that linear velocity directions of the first rack and the second rack are opposite when the driving gear rotates, the driving gear is driven to rotate by the driving motor, the first rack and the second rack move oppositely to drive the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move oppositely to execute closing action when the driving gear rotates positively, and the first rack and the second rack move oppositely to drive the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to move oppositely to execute opening action when the driving gear is driven to rotate reversely.

In some examples, the silicon rod clamping members of the silicon rod clamp are fixedly arranged on the first support in the lifting direction and are used for clamping silicon rods with the same specification or within a preset specification range (for example, the length is 500mm to 800 mm). In certain examples, multiple sets of silicon rod holders may be provided on the first support to ensure that silicon rods that may be held by the silicon rod handling device encompass various length specifications.

Here, the single-crystal round silicon rods are formed by cutting the long silicon rods from the beginning, and the difference in size between the single-crystal round silicon rods is necessarily different, and since the silicon rod holder is used to hold the single-crystal round silicon rods in a standing state or cut silicon rods after being opened, the effect of the difference in size is mainly reflected in the difference in length of the single-crystal round silicon rods, and whether the silicon rod holder in the silicon rod holder can hold the single-crystal round silicon rods.

In order to reduce or even eliminate the risk that the silicon rod clamping means may not be able to clamp a silicon rod, the silicon rod clamp may have different designs.

In certain examples, the silicon rod clamp comprises at least two silicon rod clamps, wherein two silicon rod clamps are arranged on the first support at a distance. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2a and 3a, the main body of the first support 31 is vertical, and two silicon rod clamping members in the silicon rod clamp are arranged on the first support 31 at intervals up and down. In a specific implementation manner, the silicon rod clamping members may be disposed on the first support 31 via a clamping member mounting seat, and in some examples, the clamping member mounting seat is movably disposed on the first support 31 for adjusting a distance between the silicon rod clamping members and a clamping position of a silicon rod or a silicon rod clamping member disposed at an interval. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the first support 31 is provided with a lifting rail, and the clamp mounting seat may be provided as a slider movably provided on the lifting rail, so that the first support 31 can move up and down. With this arrangement, the distance between the different silicon rod holders can be adjusted, so that silicon rods of different specifications can be held on the basis of a smaller number of, for example, two, silicon rod holders.

In certain examples, the silicon rod clamp further comprises a lifting drive mechanism, and at least one of the at least two silicon rod clamps is driven by the lifting drive mechanism in a lifting motion along the first support. For example, when the silicon rod clamp comprises two silicon rod clamping parts, one of the silicon rod clamping parts can be fixed on the first support, and the other silicon rod clamping part is movably arranged on the first support and driven by the lifting driving mechanism to move up and down along the first support; for another example, two silicon rod clamping parts in the silicon rod clamp can be movably arranged on the first support and can move up and down along the first support under the driving of the lifting driving mechanism.

In some examples, the lift drive mechanism includes: a drive chain and at least one locking device; the silicon rod clamping device comprises a transmission chain, a chain wheel driving source, at least one locking device and at least one locking device, wherein the transmission chain is wound on two transmission chain wheels which are arranged up and down, at least one transmission chain wheel in the two transmission chain wheels is in shaft connection with the chain wheel driving source, and the at least one locking device is arranged on at least one silicon rod clamping piece and used for converting two states of locking and moving between the at least one silicon rod clamping piece and the transmission chain.

The at least one locking device corresponds to at least one silicon rod holder, for example, when the locking device is one, i.e., is disposed on one silicon rod holder, and when the locking device is two, the locking device is disposed on two silicon rod holders, and each locking device is used for controlling a locking or moving state between one silicon rod holder and the drive chain, so as to realize a state switching of the silicon rod holders in compliance with the drive chain or stopped at a preset height on the first support.

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a silicon rod handling device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The lifting driving mechanism 323 is provided with a transmission chain 3231, the transmission chain 3231 may be configured as an endless chain (in the embodiment shown in fig. 5) or an open sprocket with an end point, at least one of the transmission sprockets 3232 wound around is driven to rotate by a sprocket driving source 3233, such as a driving motor, thereby driving the transmission chain 3231 engaged with the transmission sprocket 3232 to move, a moving direction of the transmission chain 3231 is determined by positions of the transmission sprockets 3232 disposed up and down, for example, when the transmission sprockets 3232 disposed up and down are located on the same vertical line, the transmission chain 3231 between the two transmission sprockets 3232 moves in the lifting direction.

Please refer to fig. 6, which is a simplified diagram of a part of the structure of the lift driving mechanism according to an embodiment of the present application. In certain embodiments, the locking device 3234 comprises: the silicon rod clamping device comprises a locking chain wheel 32341 and a locking mechanism 32340, the locking chain wheel 32341 is rotatably arranged on the silicon rod clamping device and is meshed with the transmission chain 3231, and the locking mechanism 32340 is arranged on the silicon rod clamping device and is used for locking the locking chain wheel 32341 to make the locking chain wheel 32341 static relative to the transmission chain 3231, so that the silicon rod clamping device connected with the locking chain wheel 32341 is switched from an active state to a locking state with the transmission chain 3231. Here, the locking sprocket 32341 may be connected to the silicon rod holder via a sprocket rotation shaft, and in a resting state of the locking mechanism 32340, the locking sprocket 32341 is rotated about the sprocket rotation shaft by the engaged driving chain 3231; when the locking mechanism 32340 is in an operating state, the locking mechanism 32340 restricts the rotation of the locking sprocket 32341 to apply a force to the locking sprocket 32341 and the silicon rod holding member to move in the lifting direction by the movement of the driving chain 3231 in the lifting direction, so that the silicon rod holding member can be driven by the driving chain 3231 to move up and down along the first support in a state where the locking sprocket 32341 is stationary with respect to the movement of the driving chain. The locking mechanism 32340 can limit the rotation of the locking sprocket 32341, for example, by clamping the teeth of the locking sprocket 32341.

Please refer to fig. 7a and 7b, which are schematic structural diagrams illustrating different locking states of the lift driving mechanism of the present application in one embodiment. In some embodiments, as shown in the figures, the locking mechanism 32340 includes a locking cylinder 32342 and a locking portion 32343, the locking portion 32343 is connected to a telescopic end of the locking cylinder 32342, and enters the teeth of the locking sprocket 32341 to lock the locking sprocket 32341 under the driving of the locking cylinder 32342.

In one embodiment, the detailed structure of the locking mechanism 32340 is as follows: the silicon rod clamping device comprises a locking cylinder 32342 fixedly installed on a silicon rod clamping part, an expansion rod of the locking cylinder 32342 can expand and contract along the radial direction of a locking chain wheel 32341, a locking part 32343 is fixed on the end part of the expansion rod of the locking cylinder 32342, the outer contour of the locking part 32343 is a rectangular block structure, a bolt is arranged on one side, close to the locking chain wheel 32341, of the locking part 32343, and when the locking part 32343 is driven by the locking cylinder 32342 to extend into the locking chain wheel 32341, the locking part 32343 is clamped to the locking chain wheel 32341, so that relative rotation between the locking part 32343 and a transmission chain 3231 is not generated (the state is shown in fig. 7 b). At this time, the silicon rod holder connected to the locking mechanism 32340 is moved up and down in synchronization with the driving chain 3231. After the silicon rod clamping member is lifted to a preset height, the locking portion 32343 is retracted to restore the locking sprocket 32341 to a rotatable state (shown in fig. 7 a) engaged with the transmission chain 3231, and the silicon rod clamping member loses the force in the lifting direction transmitted by the locking sprocket 32341, so that the silicon rod clamping member is stabilized at the preset height.

Simultaneously, in the specific implementation in-process, because locking portion is after getting into the locking sprocket, the effort that it received from the locking sprocket is great, leads to the telescopic link of locking cylinder to produce deformation at long-time atress in-process easily, influences the life of locking cylinder. In order to solve this problem, in some examples, a holding portion is fixedly disposed on the silicon rod holder, the holding portion is composed of two pressing plates, is disposed on both sides of the locking portion, and forms a sliding channel parallel to the telescopic direction of the locking cylinder with the silicon rod holder, and the locking portion is slidably disposed in the sliding channel. When the locking part is subjected to a large acting force from the locking chain wheel and the shape of the telescopic rod of the locking cylinder needs to be changed, the retaining part is pressed outside the locking part, and a certain stabilizing effect can be achieved.

In other implementations, the retaining portion 3235 can also be a rectangular block disposed along the moving track of the locking portion, and a sliding slot is disposed in the rectangular block, and the locking portion is slidably disposed in the sliding slot and moves along the radial direction of the locking sprocket.

In some cases, the drive chain 3231 may be shaken during the driving process, which results in disengagement between the drive chain 3231 and the locking sprocket 32341, so that the silicon rod holder and the drive chain 3231 are always in an active state. In order to eliminate the possibility of this, in some embodiments, a detachment prevention mechanism 3235 is further provided in the elevating driving mechanism 323, and in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the detachment prevention mechanism 3235 is a U-shaped structure, two parallel sides of which are fixed to the silicon rod holding member to synchronously elevate and descend along with the silicon rod holding member, and a groove bottom of the detachment prevention mechanism 3235 at the bottom of the U-shaped structure is adjacent to the transmission chain 3231. When the drive chain 3231 is shaky about to disengage from the locking sprocket 32341, the groove bottom of the disengagement preventing mechanism 3235 inevitably applies a force to the drive chain 3231 in the radial direction of the locking sprocket 32341, thereby preventing the drive chain 3231 from disengaging from the locking sprocket 32341.

Here, switching between a locking state in which the silicon rod holder moves synchronously with the transmission chain 3231 or a relative movement state between the silicon rod holder and the transmission chain 3231 can be achieved based on the locking device 3234, in an actual scene, the locking device 3234 locks the silicon rod holder and the transmission chain 3231 based on a preset height adjustment of the silicon rod holder, and after the silicon rod holder is driven by the transmission chain 3231 to rise to the preset height, the locking device 3234 restores the movement state between the silicon rod holder and the transmission chain 3231, so that the silicon rod holder can be stabilized at the preset height position of the first support 31. Of course, the movable range of the silicon rod holder is related to the first support 31, and the length specification range of the silicon rod which can be held by the silicon rod clamp is increased by the movably arranged silicon rod holder.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamp 32 disposed on the first support 31 may be displaced on the mounting frame 30 in at least one direction by a displacement mechanism 33, so that the silicon rod clamp 32 clamps the silicon rod from a first predetermined position and then transfers the silicon rod to a second predetermined position.

In some embodiments, the displacement mechanism 33 comprises a first direction displacement mechanism, which comprises a first direction guide 3310 disposed on the mounting frame 30 and a first driving device (not shown) for driving the first bracket 31 to displace along the first direction guide on the mounting frame 30. The first bracket is connected to the mounting frame 30 based on a first slider 3311 fitted to the first direction guide 3310 to form a degree of freedom of movement 3310 along the first direction guide.

Here, the first bracket 31 is hung on the base through the mounting frame 30, and can move along the mounting frame 30 above the base under the driving of the first driving device. In practical applications, the first guide rail 3310 is disposed on the mounting frame 30 to lift the first support 31, the first guide rail 3310 may be disposed to cross two ends of the base in the first direction, or the length of the first guide rail 3310 may cover each silicon rod supporting structure in the loading/unloading zone, so that the first support 31 disposed on the first guide rail 3310 may be driven by the first driving device to move along the first guide rail 3310 to an adjacent position of each silicon rod supporting structure in the loading/unloading zone. In some examples, the silicon rod carrying structures of the silicon rod processing platform loading and unloading region are disposed on the same straight line in a first direction, and the first direction guide 3310 may be disposed above a straight line connecting the silicon rod carrying structures, so that the first frame 31 is moved above the silicon rod carrying structure supporting part to clamp a cut silicon rod carried on the silicon rod carrying structure or to place a silicon rod to be cut on the silicon rod carrying structure.

The first driving device is, for example, a traveling motor, the first bracket may be connected to the first direction guide rail through a traveling lead screw, and the traveling lead screw is laid on the first direction guide rail and is simultaneously connected to the traveling motor, so that the first bracket may be driven by the traveling motor to move along the first direction guide rail. In some examples, the first driving device may also be a driving motor that drives the first support to move by a ball screw, and the application is not limited thereto.

The first support 31 can move along the mounting frame 30, so that loading and unloading can be achieved in the equipment space above the base, and when the silicon rod squaring equipment is in an idle state, the first support 31 can move above the base to achieve storage, so that inconvenience of operation caused by the fact that the equipment occupies too large space in process circulation is reduced, and then efficiency of process circulation in silicon rod processing can be increased.

In some embodiments, the displacement mechanism further includes a second direction displacement mechanism, the second direction displacement mechanism includes a second direction guide rail and a second driving device, the second direction guide rail is used for arranging the first bracket, and the second driving device is used for driving the first bracket to move along the second direction guide rail. The second driving device is, for example, a traveling motor, and drives the first support to move along the second-direction guide rail through a traveling lead screw, and of course, the second driving device may also be set to be another device capable of pushing the first frame to move, for example, the first frame is driven to move through a chain conveying mechanism, which is not limited in the present application.

With continuing reference to fig. 1 and 5, the first bracket 31 is disposed on the first direction guide 3310 of the mounting frame via the second direction guide 3320, here, the first bracket 31 may be connected to the second direction guide 3320 by, for example, a second slider 3321, the first support 31 can be driven by the first driving device to move along the first direction, namely the length direction of the machine base, meanwhile, the silicon rod clamp 32 can also be driven by a second driving device (not shown) to move along the second direction guide 3320 in a second direction, the moving range of the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamp 32 in space is increased, the silicon rod transfer device is suitable for transferring the silicon rod between a first preset position and a second preset position which have different spatial position relations, for example, when the first and second predetermined positions are spaced apart in the second direction, the silicon rod clamp 32 may be moved along the second direction guide 3320 to reach the target position.

In a scene, when the first preset position is a position on the outer side of the base where a silicon rod to be cut is placed, the second preset position is a supporting position of the silicon rod bearing structure, the first support moves to a straight line, wherein a connecting line of the first support and the first preset position is a second direction, under the driving of the first driving device, and then the first support approaches to the first preset position under the driving of the second driving device; of course, the second driving device may move to a straight line in the first direction between the first bracket and the first preset position under the driving of the second driving device, and then the first driving device drives the first bracket to move to the first preset position; it should be noted that the first driving device and the second driving device are independent, and therefore, the moving path of the first support and the silicon rod clamp may also be a multi-segment broken line, for example, the first support and the silicon rod clamp move along a certain distance in a first direction, then move along a second direction, and move along the first direction again to reach a preset position, the moving directions are only examples of some achievable moving paths, and the first support only needs to be moved to the preset position; meanwhile, in an actual scene, the moving path can be changed along with the arrangement of the equipment and the direction of the moving guide rail of the moving mechanism. Similarly, after the first support reaches the first preset position, a moving path from the first preset position to the second preset position may also be set based on a moving range determined by the shifting mechanism, and when the moving range package can cover the first preset position and the second preset position, the transfer may be achieved.

Here, the movement path has a plurality of selectable modes, but based on the setting of the silicon rod handling device of the present application, the movement path transfers the silicon rod through a straight line path or a broken line path, and simultaneously, the equipment space above the machine base is utilized for transferring and can be used as the accommodating space of the silicon rod handling device, so that the occupation of the space outside the machine base of the silicon rod squaring equipment can be reduced during transferring, and meanwhile, the silicon rod handling device can be integrally arranged with the silicon rod squaring equipment, so that the procedure of equipment calling of the silicon rod handling device is omitted, and the transferring process is simpler.

Please refer to fig. 8a to 8d, which are schematic structural views of the silicon rod handling device of the present application in different transfer states.

In an embodiment of the present application, the process of clamping the silicon rod to be cut by the silicon rod handling device is as follows:

The silicon rod clamping member is kept in a clamping state after clamping the silicon rod, and according to a preset silicon rod placing position, the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamping member are correspondingly driven by the first direction shifting mechanism or/and the second direction shifting mechanism to transfer the silicon rod along a preset path, and after the clamped silicon rod is conveyed to a second preset position (in a state shown in fig. 8 b), the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm perform an opening action to release the silicon rod, wherein the second preset position is, for example, a position right above a bearing surface for bearing the silicon rod in the silicon rod bearing structure, where the silicon rod to be clamped is to be cut.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 8a and 8b, the silicon rod holding member performs the process of loading the silicon rod to be cut into the silicon rod carrying structure, it being understood that, when the transport of a silicon rod to be cut is completed (in the state shown in fig. 8 b), the silicon rod holding member follows the first support and is driven by the first direction shifting mechanism or/and the second direction shifting mechanism to return to the first predetermined position (in the state shown in fig. 8 a) so as to continue to perform the loading transport of the next silicon rod to be cut; after the silicon rod loading and unloading device has loaded the silicon rods to be cut in the corresponding cutting operation, for example, in the silicon rod cutting apparatus shown in fig. 8a or fig. 8b, after the silicon rod loading and unloading device has loaded the corresponding silicon rods to be cut on the multiple silicon rod carrying structures in the loading and unloading area on the machine base, the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamping member may be driven by the first direction shifting mechanism or/and the second direction shifting mechanism to return to an initial position, for example, a waiting position of the silicon rod loading and unloading device in a non-working state, and in an actual scene, the initial position may be set based on the layout of the silicon rod cutting apparatus, for example, the initial position may be set at the end of the mounting frame 30 in the example shown in fig. 8a or fig. 8 b.

In some examples, when the silicon rod loading and unloading device performs the unloading process for the cut silicon rod, similarly, the silicon rod clamp and the first support 31 move along the mounting frame 30 in compliance with the driving of the shifting mechanism, and stop moving (in the state shown in fig. 8 c) at the position adjacent to the silicon rod carrying structure carrying the cut silicon rod, i.e. at the first predetermined position, and the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm approach each other, i.e. approach each other to the silicon rod to be clamped, and stop moving towards each other when contacting and clamping the silicon rod; the silicon rod clamp and the first support 31 move along a straight line or a broken line under the driving of the first direction shift mechanism and the second direction shift mechanism according to a second predetermined position to transfer the cut silicon rod out of the processing platform of the machine base and to transfer the cut silicon rod to a second predetermined position for blanking (in a state shown in fig. 8 d). After the unloading operation is finished, the first support 31 and the silicon rod clamping member may return to the initial positions.

The silicon rod loading and unloading device is used for clamping a silicon rod to be cut or a cut silicon rod and transferring the clamped silicon rod to be cut or the cut silicon rod to a preset position.

When the silicon rod loading and unloading device carries out a feeding process, the position of the silicon rod clamp for clamping the silicon rod to be cut is a first preset position, and the moving mechanism moves to move the silicon rod to be cut to the position above the bearing surface of the silicon rod bearing structure so as to place the silicon rod to be cut on the silicon rod bearing structure and take the position as a second preset position; on the contrary, when the silicon rod handling device performs a blanking process of transferring the cut silicon rod after the cutting out from the base, the first support is located at the position adjacent to the silicon rod carrying structure to hold the cut silicon rod as an initial position, that is, a first predetermined position, and the position where the cut silicon rod is transferred away from the base by the silicon rod clamp and released is a second predetermined position.

At least one of the sprockets 4122 engaged with the conveying chain is used as a driving sprocket and connected to a sprocket driving source, for example, the driving sprocket 4122 is coupled to a power output shaft of a motor to rotate the conveying chain 4121.

In some examples, the feeding and transferring part further comprises at least one elastic push rod structure connected with the conveying chain and used for pushing the silicon rod to be cut to move along the feeding and transferring part.

Please refer to fig. 9 and 10 in combination, wherein fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of the elastic push rod structure 413 in an embodiment. As shown, the resilient pushrod structure 413 includes a pushrod 4131, a torsion spring 4132. The elastic push rod structure 413 is arranged on the conveying chain 4121 and abuts against the end surface of the silicon rod when the conveying chain 4121 of the feeding and transferring part moves forwards (in the direction of the arrow shown in fig. 9), so as to cooperate with the transferring part to move the abutted silicon rod to a preset position, and avoid an obstacle when the conveying chain 4121 moves backwards (in the direction opposite to the arrow shown in fig. 9), namely, the silicon rod to be cut in the scene; the torsion spring 4132 is disposed below the push rod 4131 to cooperate with the rotation of the push rod 4131.

The elastic push rod structure 413 further comprises a supporting base 4133 fixedly connected to the conveying chain 4121 and used for arranging the push rod 4131 and the spring, the supporting base 4133 further comprises a limit baffle, as shown in the figure, when the swinging rod rotates counterclockwise, the swinging rod abuts against the limit baffle to reach a maximum rotation angle, in the process that the elastic push rod structure 413 integrally follows the advancing movement of the conveying chain 4121, the roller at the distal end of the swinging rod contacts the end surface of the silicon rod to be cut to generate a tendency of rotating counterclockwise relative to the rotating shaft, and after the swinging rod abuts against the limit baffle, the rotation is stopped, and the push rod 4131 can generate a thrust force for the silicon rod to be cut based on the limit action of the limit baffle, so as to push the silicon rod to be cut to move along the bearing part in the advancing direction.

Referring to fig. 11, a partial structure of an example of a silicon rod conveying apparatus according to the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, in a specific implementation manner, the carrying portion 411 includes two vertical plates 4111 disposed on two opposite sides of the conveying chain 4121, two rows of rollers 4112 are disposed on the two vertical plates 4111, it should be understood that the silicon rod to be cut is in point contact with the rollers 4112, and in some examples, the two rows of rollers 4112 are rotatably disposed on the vertical plates 4111 above the conveying chain 4121. The elastic push rod structure moves along with the conveying chain 4121, in the process of forward movement of the conveying chain 4121, the push rod abuts against the end face of the silicon rod to be cut, and then thrust for the silicon rod to be cut to move along the axial direction of the silicon rod can be provided, through the arrangement that the bearing part 411 comprising the roller 4112 is matched with the elastic push rod structure, when the silicon rod to be cut moves along the bearing part 411, the thrust only needs to overcome rolling friction with the roller 4112, and the resistance needed to be overcome in the transmission of the silicon rod is small.

Of course, according to the requirement of the transfer direction in the silicon rod loading process in an actual scene, in some examples, the elastic push rod structure may also be configured to abut against the end surface of the silicon rod in the process of conforming to the retraction motion of the conveying chain or the conveying belt, so as to convey the belt-cut silicon rod to the first predetermined position in the loading process.

The unloading transport portion is used for conveying the silicon rod that has cut, the unloading driving source is used for driving the motion of unloading transport portion in order to drive the silicon rod that has cut and remove.

Here, the turning device 43 is provided on a linear movement mechanism 44 to move from the feeding transfer part to the abutting connection of the discharging transfer part, i.e., the turning device 43 is movable between the feeding transfer part and the discharging transfer part.

Referring to fig. 8c and fig. 12, the feeding transfer portion and the discharging transfer portion are disposed on the same side of the base and are disposed in parallel, the turnover device 43 is disposed on the linear motion mechanism 44 laid in the second direction, the linear motion mechanism 44 includes, for example, a linear guide rail, a traveling motor, and a traveling lead screw in the second direction, the traveling lead screw is connected to the linear guide rail and the turnover device 43, and the turnover device 43 moves along the linear guide rail in the second direction under the driving of the traveling motor, so that the feeding transfer portion and the discharging transfer portion share the same turnover device 43. For example, in an actual scene, after the horizontally placed silicon rod to be cut is turned to be vertical by the turning device 43 at the feeding transfer part, the silicon rod to be cut can move to the butt-joint feeding transfer part along the linear guide rail in the second direction, so as to turn the vertically placed silicon rod to be cut into a horizontal state.

Of course, in actual scene, material loading transportation portion and unloading transportation portion also can set up in the both sides of frame, for example set up the loading district of material loading when the silicon rod processing platform that is provided with silicon rod bearing structure sets up on translation mechanism with frame one side, and the silicon rod is removed the cutting back and is moved to the uninstallation district towards one side translation of keeping away from the loading district when being driven to the square to cut the silicon rod, material loading transportation portion corresponds respectively promptly with unloading transportation portion loading district and uninstallation district.

In a specific implementation manner, for example, the length of the guide track may be set to 200 mm to 400 mm, or the telescopic distance of the telescopic member may be set to 200 mm to 400 mm. Therefore, the height difference of the pressing heads in the pressing components arranged on the same pressing support can reach 200-400 mm, the silicon rod pressing device can press the silicon rods to be cut on the silicon rod bearing structure in the cutting area, the silicon rods to be cut are not required to be loaded and cut after being grouped based on the same length, and the squaring process is simpler.

In an actual scene, when the height difference between the silicon rods to be cut is greater than 400 mm, the silicon rods to be cut can be grouped based on the length and then loaded and cut, for example, in the silicon rod cutting device shown in fig. 1, 4 silicon rod bearing structures correspond to a cutting area, the silicon rods to be cut can be divided into four groups, the length difference between the silicon rods to be cut in each group is enabled to be less than 400 mm, and the silicon rod pressing device can be used for pressing each group of silicon rods to be cut. Because each group of silicon rods to be cut can have length difference, accurate measurement is not needed when the length is determined, and the squaring processing flow of the silicon rods with different length specifications can be simplified.

As shown, the wire cutting apparatus includes a cutting frame 20, at least one wire cutting unit 21, and at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23.

Wherein the cutting frame 20 is disposed on the machine base 10, in some embodiments, the cutting frame 20 is disposed on both ends of the machine base 10 to ensure that the cutting wire saws formed on the wire cutting units 21 mounted on the cutting frame 20 can cover different processing stations, for example, in the example shown in fig. 2, the cutting frame 20 is a cylinder disposed on both ends of the machine base 10, a plurality of silicon rod carrying structures are disposed on the machine base 10 in the silicon rod squaring apparatus, and the span of the wire cutting units 21 includes each silicon rod carrying structure in the cutting area.

The at least one linear cutting unit 21 is movably arranged on the cutting frame 20; the wire cutting unit 21 includes a plurality of cutting wheels 211 and cutting wires 213 sequentially arranged along a first direction. In some implementations, as shown in fig. 2, the wire-cutting unit 21 is disposed on the cutting frame 20 by a wire-cutting support 24, the wire-cutting support 24 is disposed on the cutting frame 20 and includes a guide rail disposed along the second direction, and the wire-cutting unit 21 is disposed on the guide rail of the wire-cutting support 24 to form a degree of freedom for movement along the second direction; of course, the wire cutting support 24 may also be configured with a guide slot in the second direction, a slide bar in the second direction, or other limiting structure or guiding structure in the second direction for disposing the at least one wire cutting unit 21, which is not limited in this application.

It should be understood that the plurality of cutting wheels 211 need to be attached to a carrier provided by the wire cutting unit 21, in some examples, the wire cutting unit 21 includes a first-direction mounting beam 214 therein, two ends of the mounting beam 214 are movably connected to the cutting frame 20, and a plurality of cutting wheels 211 are sequentially disposed on each mounting beam 214. That is, the wire cutting unit 21 is composed of a plurality of cutting wheels 211 arranged in the same direction (or the same straight line), a cutting wire 213, and a bearing structure of the cutting wheels 211.

In other embodiments, the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the wire cutting unit 21 are mounted on the cutting frame 20 through a bracket, a connection plate, or a mounting frame, and the carrier provided by the wire cutting unit 21 for mounting the plurality of cutting wheels 211 may be in various forms, which is not limited in this application.

In some examples, when a plurality of wire cutting units 21 are provided in the wire cutting device, different wire cutting units 21 are respectively located on different straight lines, and two wire cutting units 21 shown in fig. 2 are respectively parallel, in some examples, the extending directions of different wire cutting units 21 may also be intersecting.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the wire cutting device provided in the present application, the first direction is a direction in which the plurality of cutting wheels in the wire cutting unit are disposed, for example, a mounting beam direction of the wire cutting unit in some examples, and a cutting wire saw formed by winding the cutting wire around the cutting wheels is also the first direction; the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and the at least one distance adjusting mechanism drives the at least one wire cutting unit to move along the second direction, namely, the cutting wire saw in the wire cutting unit moves along the orthogonal direction.

It should be understood that the wire cutting apparatus may perform the cutting process on the silicon rod based on the elevating movement of the wire cutting unit 21 along the cutting frame 20, and the control of the cutting specification is performed by adjusting the relative position between the cutting wire saw and the silicon rod in the second direction. With reference to fig. 16 and 17, when the silicon rod is placed on the silicon rod support structure and the position of the silicon rod is fixed, the cutting position of at least one cutting wire saw in the at least one wire cutting unit 21 can be adjusted by moving the cutting wire saw in the second direction by the pitch adjusting mechanism 23, so that the cutting amount of the silicon rod can be controlled.

In some examples, the at least one wire cutting unit further comprises at least one transition wheel, each transition wheel having at least two wire grooves; when the plurality of cutting wheels in the at least one wire cutting unit are driven by the at least one distance adjusting mechanism to move along the second direction, at least one transition wheel in the at least one wire cutting unit and the plurality of cutting wheels are kept relatively static.

In some implementations, please refer to fig. 16 and 17, which take one wire cutting unit 21 of the wire cutting apparatus as an example for description, the wire cutting unit 21 includes at least one transition wheel 212, and the at least one transition wheel 212 is used for guiding the direction or adjusting the tension of the cutting wire 213 wound around different cutting wheels 211. The at least one transition wheel 212 may be disposed on a carrier carrying a plurality of cutting wheels 211, such as a mounting beam 214 shown in fig. 17, the distance adjustment mechanism 23 may be configured to drive the carrier to move along the second direction, and the at least one transition wheel 212 and the plurality of cutting wheels 211 jointly follow the carrier to move along the second direction, in this state, the at least one transition wheel 212 and the plurality of cutting wheels 211 are relatively stationary, that is, the positional relationship between the transition wheel 212 and the cutting wheels 211 is not changed. When the pitch adjusting mechanism 23 is used to adjust the cutting position of at least one wire saw in the at least one wire cutting unit 21, the cutting position adjustment can be achieved by the cutting wire saw being in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the cutting wheel 211 and the transition wheel 212, i.e. only moving in the second direction.

In some embodiments, the plurality of cutting wheels 211 belonging to the same wire-cutting unit 21 are provided on a mounting beam 214 arranged in the first direction, and the at least one transition wheel 212 is provided on the mounting beam 214 by a bracket. Here, the distance adjustment mechanism 23 may be configured to be connected to the mounting beam 214 to drive the plurality of cutting wheels 211 carried by the mounting beam 214 to move in the second direction, and the bracket follows the mounting beam 214 and drives the at least one transition wheel 212 to move in the second direction, so that the at least one transition wheel 212 and the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the wire cutting unit 21 are kept stationary.

The at least one transition wheel 212 has at least two wire grooves, and when the at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23 is used to change the position of the cutting wire 213 wound around the cutting wire grooves of the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the at least one wire cutting unit 21, the position of the cutting wire 213 on the wire groove corresponding to the at least one transition wheel 212 is changed, so that the cutting wire wound around the transition wheel and the wire wheel after groove change is still located in a plumb surface. In practical situations, the winding method usually adopted needs to make the cutting line between the transition wheel and the cutting wheel be located in the plumb surface. It will be appreciated that when the cutting line slot for winding the cutting line is out of the same plane as the wire guide slot after the slot change, the cutting line has a component force in the second direction on the transition wheel and the cutting wheel, which is not conducive to efficient operation of the cutting line. In this case, the transition wheel 212 is provided as at least two wire grooves, which can be used to adjust the direction of the cutting line 213 after the groove change.

Each cutting wheel 211 is provided with at least two cutting wire grooves, different cutting wire grooves are parallel to each other, the projection of the cutting wire groove plane on the horizontal plane is along a first direction, and the different cutting wire grooves have a cutting offset in a second direction, when the cutting wire 213 is changed to the position of the wire groove wound on the cutting wheel 211, the cutting wire 213 has a displacement in the second direction relative to the cutting wheel 211, it should be understood that, because the transition wheel 212 and the cutting wheel 211 are relatively static, the position of the wire groove wound on the transition wheel 212 of the cutting wire 213 is also changed if the cutting wire saw wound on the transition wheel and the wire guide wheel is still in a plumb plane after the position of the wire groove of the cutting wheel 211 is changed.

Each transition wheel 212 is provided with at least two wire grooves which are parallel to each other, the projection of the plane of the wire grooves on the horizontal plane is along the first direction, transition offset of the second direction is formed among different wire grooves, and based on the transition offset, the wire grooves of the cutting wires 213 in the transition wheels 212 can be changed, so that the cutting wire saw which winds the transition wheels and the wire wheels after groove changing adjustment is still located in a plumb surface.

In some implementations, the transition offset between adjacent wire grooves in the transition wheel 212 is equal to the cutting offset between adjacent cutting wire grooves in the cutting wheel 211, so as to change the grooves of the cutting wire 213 according to a predetermined position. In this example, the cutting wheel 211 and the wire wheel may be disposed in the wire cutting unit 21 in a form of one-to-one correspondence of the wire grooves and the cutting wire grooves (i.e., the cutting wire grooves are coplanar with the wire grooves), and the number of the wire grooves of the transition wheel 212 may be equal to or different from the number of the cutting wheel 211.

In different silicon rod processing devices, the cutting wheel 211 and the transition wheel 212 in the wire cutting unit 21 can be arranged in different position relationships, and different winding manners can be configured.

In some embodiments, the plurality of cutting wheels belonging to the same wire-cutting unit form at least two cutting wheel groups in a pairwise manner, a transition wheel is further arranged between two adjacent cutting wheels in the two adjacent cutting wheel groups, the transition wheel has at least two wire grooves, and the cuts are sequentially wound on the cutting wheels and the transition wheel to form a cutting wire saw between the two cutting wheels in each cutting wheel group, wherein the cutting wire penetrates out from the cutting wire groove of the next cutting wheel in the previous cutting wheel group when wound on the two adjacent cutting wheels in the two adjacent cutting wheel groups and penetrates into the cutting wire groove of the previous cutting wheel in the next cutting wheel group after passing through the wire groove of the transition wheel; when the plurality of cutting wheels in the at least one wire cutting unit are driven by the at least one distance adjusting mechanism to move along the second direction, at least one transition wheel in the at least one wire cutting unit and the plurality of cutting wheels are kept relatively static.

Referring to fig. 18 and 19, fig. 18 is a schematic structural view illustrating a wire cutting device according to an embodiment of the present invention applied to a silicon rod extracting apparatus, and fig. 19 is a schematic structural view illustrating a wire cutting unit of the wire cutting device according to an embodiment. As shown in the figure, 4 cutting wheel sets are arranged in the wire cutting unit of the wire cutting device. A transition wheel 212 is arranged between two adjacent cutting wheel sets, wherein a cutting line 213 is sequentially wound on the cutting wheel 211 and the transition wheel 212 to form a cutting wire saw on the two cutting wheels 211 of each cutting wheel set, wherein the cutting line 213 passes through the cutting wire groove of the last cutting wheel 211 in the previous cutting wheel set when being wound on the two adjacent cutting wheels 211 in the two adjacent cutting wheel sets, and passes through the cutting wire groove of the last cutting wheel 211 in the next cutting wheel set after passing through the transition wheel 212. Here, the same transition wheel 212 is shared between every two adjacent cutting wheel sets for guiding, so that the length of the cutting line 213 for tension adjustment and guiding can be reduced, the length proportion of the cutting line 213 for forming a cutting wire saw in the cutting line 213 is increased, the utilization rate of the cutting line 213 is improved while the wire winding mode is simplified, and the production cost is reduced.

Referring to fig. 18 and 19, each cutting wire saw may cut the silicon rod on one silicon rod supporting structure 11, it should be understood that the position distance between the cutting wheels 211 arranged in the first direction is changed, and the silicon rod supporting structure 11 corresponding to any cutting wire saw may also be 2, 3, 4, etc., in a specific implementation manner, for example, the distance between the two cutting wheels 211 in each cutting wheel set in the first direction is increased, or the distance between the silicon rod supporting structures 11 in the first direction is decreased, so that the two cutting wheels 211 in the cutting wheel set in the second direction are respectively located at two ends of 2, 3, or 4 silicon rod supporting structures 11; when the lifting device drives the wire cutting units to move up and down, each cutting wire saw can simultaneously cut the silicon rods placed on the corresponding silicon rod bearing structures 11. In one embodiment, to prevent the cutting wires from being too long and causing uneven tension in the cutting wire 213, the number of the silicon rod supporting structures 11 corresponding to each cutting wire may be selected according to actual conditions, so as to stabilize the processing quality.

In some embodiments, the plurality of cutting wheels belonging to the same wire-cutting unit comprises a head cutting wheel, a tail cutting wheel, and at least one intermediate cutting wheel located between the head cutting wheel and the tail cutting wheel, a transition wheel is further provided beside the at least one intermediate cutting wheel, the transition wheel has at least two wire guide grooves, the cutting wire is sequentially wound on the cutting wheel and the transition wheel to form a cutting wire saw on any two adjacent cutting wheels, wherein when the cutting wire is wound on the intermediate cutting wheel, the cutting wire is threaded out from one of the at least two cutting wire grooves on the intermediate cutting wheel and is threaded through the other of the at least two cutting wire grooves on the intermediate cutting wheel after the transition wheel by side, so that a cutting offset is provided between any two adjacent cutting wire saws in the second direction, the cutting offset corresponds to the spacing between two associated cutting wire slots; when the plurality of cutting wheels in the at least one wire cutting unit are driven by the at least one distance adjusting mechanism to move along the second direction, at least one transition wheel in the at least one wire cutting unit and the plurality of cutting wheels are kept relatively static.

Fig. 20 is a schematic structural view of a middle cutting wheel and a transition wheel disposed beside the middle cutting wheel in an embodiment of the wire cutting apparatus of the present application. In the winding manner adopted by the wire cutting unit 21 in this example, when the cutting wire 213 winds the cutting wheel set in the wire cutting unit 21, each middle cutting wheel 211 undergoes two windings, and the head and tail cutting wheels 211 undergo at least one winding in combination with fig. 17 and 20. When the cutting wire 213 is wound around the middle cutting wheel 211, the cutting wire 213 is threaded out from a first cutting wire slot 2111 of the at least two cutting wire slots on the middle cutting wheel 211 and then threaded into a second cutting wire slot 2112 of the at least two cutting wire slots on the middle cutting wheel 211 via the transition wheel 212 beside (in the embodiment shown in fig. 20, the upper side of the cutting wheel 211), so that any two adjacent cutting wires have a cutting offset in the first direction, and the cutting offset corresponds to the distance between the first cutting wire slot 2111 and the second cutting wire slot 2112.

In some implementations, for each intermediate cutting wheel and a transition wheel disposed beside the intermediate cutting wheel, a line connecting the axis of the transition wheel and the axis of the cutting wheel is parallel to the plumb line. Under the condition, the lengths of the cutting lines on the two sides of the transition wheel are equal or approximately equal, and the stress states are approximately the same in the cutting process, so that the problems that the local or single side of the cutting lines on the two sides of the transition wheel is continuously stressed excessively or the tension is insufficient are solved.

In one example, as shown in fig. 20, here, the transition wheel 212 is disposed right above the cutting wheel, the cutting line 213 is threaded out from the first cutting line slot 2111 of the cutting wheel 211 and guided via the transition wheel 212 to be wound back to the second cutting line slot 2112 of the cutting wheel 211, and projections of the cutting lines 213 on both sides of the transition wheel 212 on the plane in the plumb direction are formed as line segments of equal length. In this example, the cutting wire saw is formed as a tangent line below the cutting wire slot of the cutting wheel 211.

In another example, the transition wheel may also be disposed right below the cutting wheel, that is, a connecting line between the transition wheel and the axis of the cutting wheel is a plumb line. The cutting wire is wound from the first cutting wire groove of the cutting wheel downwards to the transition wheel and is guided by the transition wheel to penetrate upwards from the second cutting wire groove of the cutting wheel, in this example, the formed cutting wire saw is a cutting wire above the cutting wire groove of the cutting wheel.

It should be understood that the side is mainly used to determine the corresponding relationship between the middle cutting wheel and the transition wheel, and not a specific position and orientation, for example, the side may also be a left side, a right side, an upper side, a lower side, an oblique side, etc. of the cutting wheel, and the present application is not limited thereto. Specifically, the arrangement mode of the plurality of cutting wheels, the middle cutting wheel and the cutting lines in the linear cutting unit can adopt the mode described in Chinese patent application CN2020204403178 (the name of the invention is silicon rod squaring equipment).

In the foregoing examples, although the relative position relationship between the cutting wheel and the transition wheel and the winding manner of the cutting wire are different, the plurality of cutting wheels in the wire cutting unit can be moved in the second direction by the at least one distance adjusting mechanism to realize the cutting position adjustment or the groove changing of the cutting wire saw.

With continuing reference to fig. 16, in the foregoing examples, it has been described that each cutting wheel 211 belonging to the same wire cutting unit can be driven by the distance adjusting mechanism 23 to move along the second direction, so that the cutting wire saw formed between the cutting wheels 211 moves along the second direction, and thus the cutting position of the cutting wire saw can be adjusted; when the wire cutting unit further comprises the transition wheel 212, when the at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23 drives the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the at least one wire cutting unit to move along the second direction, the transition wheel 212 and the cutting wheel 211 are kept relatively stationary, and the cutting position of the cutting wire saw can be adjusted by moving the corresponding cutting wire saw along the second direction.

When the at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23 is used to change the cutting line to wind around the cutting line slots of the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the at least one line cutting unit 21, in an actual scene, the cutting line slots corresponding to the cutting lines before and after slot replacement can be predetermined, for example, the position of the cutting line before slot replacement is the cutting line slot a1, the cutting line after slot replacement is wound around the cutting line slot a2, and a displacement amount of the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the line cutting unit driven by the at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23 to move in the second direction is determined based on a cutting offset between the cutting line slot a1 and the cutting line slot a2, that is, the displacement amount is set as the cutting offset between the cutting line slot a1 and the cutting line slot a2, and thus the replacement of the cutting line from the cutting line slot a1 to the cutting line slot a2 can be achieved; it should be noted that the at least one distance adjusting mechanism 23 drives the plurality of cutting wheels 211 in the wire cutting unit to move in the second direction in a direction in which the cutting wire groove a2 points to the cutting wire groove a1, and after the groove is changed, the cutting position of the cutting wire saw in space is not changed, so that the step of further calibrating the positions of the cutting wheels 211 or other components is omitted, that is, the silicon rod can be cut according to the preset cutting amount, and the groove changing process is simplified.

In the present embodiment, since the wire cutting support 24 is provided for configuring the first cutting unit group and the second cutting unit group, that is, the first cutting unit group and the second cutting unit group share the wire cutting support 24. Thus, in the present embodiment, on the one hand, the cutting frame 20 and the wire cutting support 24 of the wire cutting apparatus are disposed in a centered position between the first processing position and the second processing position. On the other hand, the wire cutting support 24 is specially designed. As shown in FIG. 22, the wire cutting holder 24 in this embodiment may include a holder body and first and second holder wings located on opposite lateral sides of the holder body.

The cutting lines 213 are sequentially wound around each first cutting wheel set in the first cutting unit set to form a cutting wire net. In practical applications, the cutting line 213 sequentially winds around the four first cutting wheels 211a in the first cutting unit group to form two cutting wires, which are arranged along the X-axis direction and parallel to each other to form a cutting wire net.

In certain examples, the silicon rod transfer device is provided in a central region of the silicon rod processing platform for transferring a silicon rod between a waiting zone, a first processing zone, a second processing zone, and a third processing zone on the silicon rod processing platform.

Here, the first direction and the second direction are defined based on a carrier coordinate system of the wire-cut unit, and therefore, when the directions of the plurality of wire-cut units in the silicon rod processing apparatus (in this example, the silicon rod slicing and grinding all-in-one machine) are different, the first directions respectively corresponding to the plurality of wire-cuts are not the same direction in the external space; correspondingly, the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and therefore the driving movement direction performed by the at least one pitch adjustment mechanism is an orthogonal direction with respect to the driven wire cutting unit. For example, in the first cutting unit group, the wire cutting units and the cutting wire saw are arranged along an X-axis direction, the first direction in the first cutting unit group is an X-axis direction, and the second direction in the first cutting unit group is a Y-axis direction; in the second cutting unit group, the wire cutting unit and the cutting wire saw are arranged along the Y-axis direction, the first direction in the second cutting unit group is the Y-axis direction, and the second direction is the X-axis direction.

In the first cutting unit group, when the at least one distance adjusting mechanism drives the plurality of cutting wheels in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit to move along the second direction, the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit may move along the first support flank, that is, along the second direction (Y-axis direction) in the first cutting unit group, for example; the wire cutting device can be used for adjusting the cutting position of at least one wire saw in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit or changing the cutting wire to wind the cutting wire grooves of a plurality of cutting wheels in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit.

The second cutting unit group and the first cutting unit group are similar in structure form, and the main difference is that the arrangement position and the arrangement direction in the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine are different; however, in the second cutting unit group, the structure and function of the at least one distance adjusting mechanism for driving the plurality of cutting wheels in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit to move along the second direction are similar to those of the first cutting unit group, and details are not repeated here.

It should be understood that in some embodiments, the positional relationship between the first processing region and the second processing region may be changed, for example, the first processing region and the second processing region may be configured such that the silicon rod transfer device rotates 60 ° while carrying the silicon rod to switch between the two processing regions, and the directions of the wire cutting units in the corresponding first cutting unit group and second cutting unit group may also be changed, in this case, the first directions of the wire cutting units in the first cutting unit group and the second cutting unit group are changed, respectively, but the cutting wire saw position adjustment or slot changing may still be realized by at least one distance adjusting mechanism in the cutting unit group; in certain embodiments, the silicon rod slicing and grinding all-in-one machine comprises, for example, only a single-wire cutting unit at different processing stations; in some embodiments, the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine is provided with only one station for cutting, for example, in a specific implementation mode, a cutting wire net shaped like a Chinese character 'ri' can be arranged in the station for cutting, and a silicon rod positioning mechanism drives a silicon rod to rotate 90 degrees to perform cutting again; the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine has various deformation forms, and the application is not limited.

Generally, in the related wire cutting device, the positional relationship between the cutting wheels is not easily changed after the cutting wheels are installed, and after one of the cutting wheels is worn, the cutting wheel or other parts are required to be adjusted to perform the whole groove replacement, and the parts at the adjusted positions are required to be further calibrated, so that the operation is complicated and the efficiency is low.

The application also provides a linear cutting device of the silicon rod processing equipment, wherein the silicon rod processing equipment comprises a base and a cutting device, wherein the base is provided with a silicon rod processing platform; the silicon rod bearing device is arranged on the silicon rod processing platform and used for bearing a silicon rod to be cut; the wire cutting device includes: the cutting frame is arranged on the base; at least one wire cutting unit movably arranged on the cutting frame; the wire cutting unit includes: the cutting device comprises a plurality of cutting wheels, a cutting device and a control device, wherein the cutting wheels are sequentially arranged along a first direction, and each cutting wheel is provided with at least two cutting wire grooves; at least one transition wheel, each transition wheel having a wire guide groove; the cutting wire is wound on the plurality of cutting wheels and the transition wheel in sequence to form at least one cutting wire saw; and the at least one shifting mechanism is used for driving the at least one transition wheel to move along the second direction so as to enable the current wire groove which is cut and wound in the at least one transition wheel to move from the first wire groove corresponding to the cutting wheel to the second wire groove corresponding to the cutting wheel in the second direction.

During the cutting process, the steel wire or diamond wire is guided by the transition wheel, a wire saw or a wire net is formed on the cutting wheel, and the workpiece to be processed is fed by the ascending and descending of the workbench or the ascending and descending of the wire saw or the wire net. In long-term cutting operation, the cutting line groove of the cutting wheel and the wire guide groove of the transition wheel are inevitably worn, so that the positioning precision of the cutting line is influenced, and the requirement of groove replacement is further increased.

Of course, the specific form of the silicon rod cutting machine is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, for example, each cutting wire of the silicon rod cutting machine can cut and cut a plurality of silicon rods simultaneously based on the relationship between the arrangement position of the silicon rods on the silicon rod bearing device and the positions of the cutting wires; for another example, the wire cutting device of the silicon rod cutting machine only comprises a section of cutting wire saw, and the section of cutting wire saw is used for cutting a silicon rod cut in one cutting operation when a single or a plurality of silicon rods are cut; the present application is not limited, and it should be noted that the wire-cutting device of the silicon rod clipper includes the shift mechanism according to any one of the embodiments shown in fig. 23 to 29 to adjust the position of the transition wheel in the wire-cutting device in the second direction with respect to the cutting wheel.

In the present embodiment, since the wire cutting support 24 is provided with the first cutting unit and the second cutting unit, that is, the first cutting unit and the second cutting unit share the wire cutting support 24. Thus, in the present embodiment, on the one hand, the cutting frame 20 and the wire cutting support 24 of the wire cutting apparatus are disposed in a centered position between the first processing position and the second processing position. On the other hand, the wire cutting support 24 is specially designed. As shown in FIG. 22, the wire cutting holder 24 in this embodiment may include a holder body and first and second holder wings located on opposite lateral sides of the holder body. In some embodiments, the main support body in the wire cut support 24 is disposed at 45 ° to the X or Y axis, the first support flank is disposed at 145 ° to the main support body and is disposed along the Y axis, and the second support flank is disposed at 145 ° to the main support body and is disposed along the X axis.

In some embodiments, the first cutting unit group may include at least four first cutting wheels 211a and two first transition wheels, and the four first cutting wheels 211a may be combined into a pair of first cutting wheel groups, that is, one first cutting wheel group is formed by oppositely arranging the two first cutting wheels 211a along the X-axis, and the pair of first cutting wheel groups is formed by oppositely arranging the two first cutting wheel groups along the Y-axis. The cutting lines 213 sequentially wind around each of the first cutting wheels 211a in the first cutting unit group to form a cutting line net. In practical applications, the cutting line 213 sequentially winds around the four first cutting wheels 211a in the first cutting unit group to form two cutting wires, which are arranged along the X-axis direction and parallel to each other to form a cutting wire net. Specifically, two parallel cutting wire saws are matched to form a first cutting wire net which is shaped like a Chinese character 'ri' along the X-axis direction; meanwhile, when the cutting line 213 winds around the first cutting wheel set, the cutting line 213 winds around the first transition wheel to perform direction change or tension adjustment of the cutting line 213, where the first transition wheel is parallel to the cutting wheel 211 of the corresponding first cutting wheel set, that is, both are parallel to the first direction. A line cutting unit is formed by oppositely arranging two first cutting wheels 211a, a cutting line 213 wound therein and a first transition wheel along the X-axis, in this embodiment, two line cutting units 21 are formed in the first cutting unit group in parallel.

Similarly, the second cutting unit group may at least include four second cutting wheels 211b and two second transition wheels, wherein two second cutting wheels 211b are oppositely disposed along the Y axis to form a second cutting wheel group, and two second cutting wheel groups along the X axis form a pair of second cutting wheel groups; in practical applications, the cutting line 213 sequentially winds around the four second cutting wheels 211b in the second cutting unit group to form two cutting wire saws, the two cutting wire saws are arranged along the Y-axis direction and are parallel to each other, and the two parallel cutting wire saws are matched to form a second cutting wire web which is in a shape of a Chinese character ═ shape along the Y-axis direction; meanwhile, when the cutting line 213 winds around the second cutting wheel set, the cutting line 213 winds around the second transition wheel to perform direction change or tension adjustment of the cutting line 213, and here, the second transition wheel is parallel to the cutting wheel 211 of the corresponding second cutting wheel set, that is, both are parallel to the first direction. A line cutting unit is formed by oppositely arranging two first cutting wheels 211a, a cutting line 213 wound therein and a second transition wheel along the Y-axis, in this embodiment, two line cutting units 21 are formed in the second cutting unit group in parallel.

It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are defined based on a carrier coordinate system of the wire-cut unit, and therefore, when the directions of the plurality of wire-cut units in the silicon rod processing apparatus (in this example, the silicon rod slicing and grinding all-in-one machine) are different, the first directions respectively corresponding to the plurality of wire-cuts are not the same direction in the external space; correspondingly, the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and therefore the direction of movement performed by the at least one displacement mechanism to drive the at least one transition wheel is orthogonal with respect to the driven wire cutting unit. For example, in the first cutting unit group, the wire cutting units and the cutting wire saw are arranged along an X-axis direction, the first direction in the first cutting unit group is an X-axis direction, and the second direction in the first cutting unit group is a Y-axis direction; in the second cutting unit group, the wire cutting unit and the cutting wire saw are arranged along the Y-axis direction, the first direction in the second cutting unit group is the Y-axis direction, and the second direction is the X-axis direction.

In the first cutting unit group and the second cutting unit group, the number of the cutting wheels and the number of the transition wheels in any one of the linear cutting units can be correspondingly changed, for example, the number of the cutting wheels in one linear cutting unit can also be three, four, etc., and the number of the transition wheels can also be two or more.

In the foregoing examples of the silicon rod slicing and grinding all-in-one machine, each of the cutting wheels of the wire cutting unit has at least two cutting wire grooves, and here, at least one shifting mechanism is further included in any one of the wire cutting units of the wire cutting device for driving the at least one transition wheel to move in the second direction, so that the current wire groove cut and wound in the at least one transition wheel moves from the first wire groove corresponding to the cutting wheel to the second wire groove corresponding to the cutting wheel in the second direction. Under the arrangement, the transition wheel can be a single wire groove transition wheel or a multi-wire groove transition wheel, and the groove changing of the cutting line on the cutting wheel can be realized without changing the position of the wire groove of the cutting line wound around the transition wheel based on the driving action of the at least one shifting mechanism. When the cutting line groove is abraded due to the fact that the cutting wheel in the linear cutting unit of the first cutting unit group or the second cutting unit group performs the squaring operation, the cutting line is replaced by the shifting mechanism to wind the cutting line groove position of the cutting wheel, the cutting wheel can be reused, and the relative position of the cutting line and the transition wheel does not need to be adjusted in the groove replacing process through the shifting mechanism. Here, the arrangement of the displacement mechanism may refer to the displacement mechanism as described in any one of the implementations of the embodiments shown in fig. 23 to 29.

In the silicon rod grinding all-in-one machine, the first processing location and the second processing location include two parallel wire cutting units, in some examples, the first processing location and the second processing location further include at least one distance adjusting mechanism, the distance adjusting mechanism may be, for example, associated with a first wire cutting unit or a second wire cutting unit of the two wire cutting units, or associated with the first wire cutting unit and the second wire cutting unit at the same time, and the distance adjusting mechanism may be, for example, set as the distance adjusting mechanism described in any implementation manner of the embodiments shown in fig. 23 to fig. 29, for example, connected with the first wire cutting unit or the second wire cutting unit by a lead screw, connected with the first wire cutting unit and the second wire cutting unit by a bidirectional lead screw, or set as a servo motor, and the like, which will not be described herein again.

When the at least one distance adjusting mechanism drives the plurality of cutting wheels in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit to move along the second direction, the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit may move along the first support flank, that is, along the second direction (Y-axis direction) in the first cutting unit group, for example; the cutting wire groove can be used for adjusting the cutting position of at least one wire saw in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit or changing the cutting wire to wind around a plurality of cutting wheels in the first wire cutting unit or/and the second wire cutting unit; the at least one distance adjusting mechanism is matched with the at least one shifting mechanism in the wire cutting unit, groove changing can be achieved under the condition that a wire groove used for winding a cutting wire in the transition wheel is not required to be changed, and meanwhile, the position of the cutting wire saw in the second direction is unchanged before and after groove changing.

The second cutting unit group and the first cutting unit group are similar in structure form, and the main difference is that the arrangement position and the arrangement direction in the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine are different; however, the structures and functions of the at least one displacement mechanism and the at least one distance adjusting mechanism in the second cutting unit group are similar to those of the at least one displacement mechanism and the at least one distance adjusting mechanism in the first cutting unit group, and are not repeated herein.

It should be understood that in some embodiments, the positional relationship between the first processing region and the second processing region may be changed, for example, the first processing region and the second processing region may be configured such that the silicon rod transfer device rotates 60 ° while carrying the silicon rod to switch between the two processing regions, and the directions of the wire cutting units in the corresponding first cutting unit group and second cutting unit group may also be changed, in this case, the first directions of the wire cutting units in the first cutting unit group and the second cutting unit group are respectively changed, but the position adjustment of the transition wheel relative to the cutting wheel in the second direction can still be realized by the at least one shifting mechanism in any of the embodiments shown in fig. 23 to 29; in certain embodiments, the silicon rod slicing and grinding all-in-one machine comprises, for example, only a single-wire cutting unit at different processing stations; in some embodiments, the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine is provided with only one station for cutting, for example, in a specific implementation mode, a cutting wire net shaped like a Chinese character 'ri' can be arranged in the station for cutting, and after the silicon rod is cut by lifting and descending once through the cutting wire net, the silicon rod is driven by the silicon rod positioning mechanism to rotate 90 degrees for cutting again; the silicon rod cutting and grinding all-in-one machine has various deformation forms, and the application is not limited.

Here, the telescopic motion of the jacking piece 511 includes the contraction and extension motion of the jacking piece 511, in an actual scene, the contraction motion of the jacking piece 511 is that the cylinder drives the telescopic rod to contract so as to drive the jacking piece 511 to be away from the boundary leather, and the extension motion of the jacking piece 511 specifically means that the cylinder drives the telescopic rod to extend so as to drive the jacking piece 511 to be close to the boundary leather. Of course, the aforementioned telescopic component 512 may also adopt other implementation manners, for example, the telescopic component 512 may also be, for example, a servo motor with a lead screw, the lead screw is connected to the jacking component 511, and the lead screw is driven by the servo motor to rotate so as to drive the jacking component 511 connected to the lead screw to make telescopic motion, for example, the lead screw is driven to rotate forward to drive the jacking component 511 to make contraction motion, and the lead screw is driven to rotate backward to drive the jacking component 511 to make extension motion, or the lead screw is driven to rotate forward to drive the jacking component 511 to make extension motion and the lead screw is driven to rotate backward to drive the jacking component 511 to make contraction motion.

In practical application, in an initial state, the telescopic rod drives the jacking piece 511 to be in a contraction state, the wire cutting unit is driven to descend along with the wire cutting support so that the cutting line formed by each cutting line segment in the wire cutting unit performs squaring cutting on the silicon rod to be cut positioned in the cutting area until the cutting line segment penetrates through the silicon rod to be cut, one-time complete cutting of the silicon rod to be cut is completed and a flaw-piece is formed, at this time, the flaw-piece lifting mechanism descends to the bottom along with the wire cutting support, the cylinder drives the telescopic rod to extend so as to drive the jacking piece 511 to be close to the flaw-piece until a butting plate in the jacking piece 511 is in contact with the flaw-piece and butting is realized, subsequently, the wire cutting unit is driven to ascend along with the wire cutting support, the flaw-piece lifting mechanism ascends along with the wire cutting support to drive the flaw-piece to generate ascending displacement relative to the silicon rod which is subjected to one-time cutting, so that the top end of the flaw-piece protrudes out of the silicon rod to be cut, when the top end of the flaw-piece meets the set conditions compared with the protruding part of the silicon rod to be cut, the linear cutting support can be controlled to stop rising, so that the top end of the flaw-piece can be used as a force application part for grabbing, the flaw-piece is grabbed and unloaded, then the cylinder drives the telescopic rod to contract to drive the jacking piece 511 to return to the initial state, and meanwhile, the linear cutting support is controlled to drive the linear cutting unit and the flaw-piece lifting mechanism to continuously rise above the silicon rod to be cut so as to be ready for executing next cutting operation.

In some examples, the leather lifting unit comprises an adsorption piece capable of telescopic movement, and the adsorption piece is controlled to abut against the leather after stretching movement so as to lift the leather.

In an implementation, the flaw-piece hoist mechanism can include the absorption piece and the drive the telescopic part that the absorption piece made telescopic motion, the absorption piece is controlled by the telescopic part and leans on in the flaw-piece and adsorb the flaw-piece.

The abutting plate can be an arc-shaped plate matched with the arc-shaped surface of the edge leather, and can be fully contacted with the arc-shaped surface of the edge leather when the abutting plate abuts against the edge leather. The suction element may be, for example, a vacuum cup, and a plurality of vacuum cups may be arranged on a contact surface of the abutment plate to be in contact with the flaw-piece. The telescopic component can be, for example, an air cylinder with a telescopic rod or a servo motor with a screw rod, taking the air cylinder with a telescopic rod as an example, the telescopic rod can be connected with the abutting plate in the jacking piece through a connecting structure, the air cylinder can drive the telescopic rod to contract to drive the abutting plate to be away from the flaw-piece, and the air cylinder can drive the telescopic rod to extend to drive the abutting plate to be close to the flaw-piece and to be adsorbed to the flaw-piece by the adsorbing element after the abutting plate is contacted with the flaw-piece. Subsequently, the wire cutting support is driven to rise, the flaw-piece lifting mechanism and the wire cutting device lift along with the wire cutting support, and the flaw-piece lifting mechanism can drive the flaw-piece to move upwards relative to the cut silicon rod by utilizing the adsorption force, so that the top end of the flaw-piece protrudes out of the silicon rod which is subjected to the primary cutting operation.

The supporting column 521 is provided with a first mounting portion 522 and a flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 connected to the first mounting portion 522. In the illustrated example, the support column 521 is disposed in the middle of the first direction of the silicon rod squaring apparatus so as to reduce the distance from the edge skin clamping mechanism 523 to the edge skin, and of course, the position where the support column 521 is disposed is not limited thereto.

In other examples, the flaw-piece discharging device further includes a first lifting driving device (not shown) for driving the first mounting portion 522 to move up and down on the supporting column 521. Here, based on the first lifting drive device controls the first installation part 522 to move along the support column 521, the flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 connected to the first installation part 522 can be driven to move up and down in space, the flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 can clamp and lift the flaw-piece, for example, after the flaw-piece is formed by cutting, the first lifting drive device drives the first installation part 522 to descend so that the flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 contacts and clamps the flaw-piece protruding out of the cut silicon rod, and the first lifting drive device can further drive the flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 in a clamping state to ascend so that the flaw-piece is separated from the cut silicon rod.

Here, the different swing arms 524 connected to the swing arm rotating shafts 525 corresponding to the set of the flaw-piece clamping mechanisms 523 may have equal lengths (as shown in fig. 30), and of course, may have different lengths; in an actual scenario, the included angle between the different swing arms 524, the length of the swing arm 524, and the position of the swing arm rotating shaft 525 may be determined based on the position of the silicon rod carrying structure 11, where the position of the flaw-piece on the horizontal plane is determined by the positions of the silicon rod carrying structure 11 and the cutting wire saw, it should be understood that one flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 may be used to clamp the flaw-piece formed after the silicon rod on one silicon rod carrying structure 11 is cut, when the set of flaw-piece clamping mechanisms 523 includes a plurality of flaw-piece clamping mechanisms 523, each flaw-piece clamping mechanism 523 corresponds to the silicon rod on one silicon rod carrying structure 11, that is, the position of the swing arm rotating shaft 525, the length of the swing arm 524, and the included angle between the swing arms 524 may be determined based on the position of the silicon rod carrying structure 11 (or the position of the silicon rod placed vertically), for example, the position of the swing arm rotating shaft 525 when the flaw-piece is preset based on the first installation part, and the angle between the length of each swing arm 524 and the swing arm 524 may be determined based on the connecting line between the swing arm rotating shaft 525 and the different silicon rod carrying structure 11 .

The structure of the clamping assembly is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the clamping assembly includes an arc-shaped plate and a retractable clamping member, and a clamping space for clamping the flaw-piece is formed between the clamping member and the arc-shaped plate.

In some examples, the clamping member is a movable press block controlled by a cylinder, and the movable press block is connected with the cylinder through a rotating arm.

It should be understood that the first suspension arm 52321 is only required to form a lever with a fulcrum, the movable pressing piece 523121 connected to the distal end of the first suspension arm 52321 can be far away from or close to the housing 52311 by the rotation of the first suspension arm 52321, in the example shown in fig. 35, the first rotation shaft 52322 as the force application point of the first suspension arm 52321 is located at the proximal end of the suspension arm, the first connecting part 52323 as the force application point of the transmission cylinder piston rod is located in the middle of the first suspension arm 52321, and in the example shown in fig. 35, when the cylinder piston rod is contracted, the proximal end of the first suspension arm 52321 is applied with an upward lifting force, the distal end of the first suspension arm 52321 moves upward and makes the movable pressing piece 523121 far away from the housing 52311 to increase the clamping space, and in this state, the clamped hem can be released. When the flaw-piece needs to be clamped, the cylinder 52324 drives the piston rod to extend, so as to drive the proximal end of the first cantilever 52321 to move downwards around the first rotating shaft 52322, the proximal end of the first cantilever 52321 descends around the first rotating shaft 52322 to drive the movable pressing block 523121 to be close to the cover 52311 and abut against the flaw-piece, and the piston rod of the cylinder keeps extending, so that the flaw-piece can be maintained in a clamped state.

In some examples, the first connecting portion may also be connected to a screw assembly or a telescopic rod driven by a motor, so as to drive the first cantilever to rotate around the first rotating shaft, thereby realizing the compression or release of the movable pressing block on the flaw-piece.

Referring to fig. 36, a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the clamping assembly is shown. As shown in the figure, a base 523112 for carrying the clamping member 52312 is disposed inside the cover 52311, the base 523112 carries the clamping member 52312 to protrude into the recessed area between the cut silicon rod and the bark, the cylinder 52334 is fixed on the side wall of the base 523112 and has a piston rod, the second rotating shaft 52332 of the rotating arm is hinged to a support base fixed at the bottom of the base 523112 so that the second suspension arm 52331 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 52332, the movable pressing block 523121 is fixedly connected to the distal end of the second suspension arm 52331, the proximal end of the second suspension arm 52331 of the rotating arm is hinged to the piston rod of the cylinder 52334, the cylinder 52334 pushes the piston rod to extend and retract to drive the second suspension arm 52331 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 52332, that is, the piston rod of the cylinder 52334 is a force application point, that is the movable pressing block 523121 at the distal end of the second suspension arm 52331 can be driven to move, when the second arm 52331 rotates around the second rotation shaft 52332, the movable pressing block 523121 at the distal end of the second arm 52331 approaches or leaves the cover 52311, so that the clamping space between the movable pressing block 523121 and the cover 52311 can be adjusted.

It should be understood that the second suspension arm 52331 only needs to form a lever with a fulcrum, the movable pressing piece 523121 connected to the distal end of the second suspension arm 52331 can be far away from or close to the cover 52311 by the rotation of the second suspension arm 52331, in the example shown in fig. 36, the second connecting portion 52333 connected to the piston rod of the cylinder, which is set as the force-applying point of the second suspension arm 52331, is located at the proximal end of the suspension arm, and the second rotating shaft 52332 serving as the fulcrum is arranged in the middle of the suspension arm, and when the piston rod of the cylinder is contracted, the proximal end of the second suspension arm 52331 is subjected to an upward lifting force, the distal end of the second suspension arm 52331 moves downward and makes the movable pressing piece 523121 close to the cover 52311 so as to press the edge leather against the cover 52311 (in the direction of the arrow in fig. 36). When the release of the flaw-piece is needed, the cylinder 52334 drives the piston rod to extend, so as to drive the proximal end of the second cantilever 52331 to move downwards around the second rotating shaft 52332, the proximal end of the second cantilever 52331 rises around the second rotating shaft 52332 to drive the movable pressing block 523121 to be away from the cover body 52311, namely, the movable pressing block returns to the initial state, and the clamping space between the movable pressing block 523121 and the cover body 52311 is increased, so that the flaw-piece is released conveniently.

Here, it should be understood that the contraction and extension movements of the cylinder piston rod are different corresponding to the state where the movable pressing piece 523121 releases or presses the flaw-piece, based on the direction in which the cylinder piston rod is connected to the second connection part 52333, for example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 36, the cylinder piston rod is connected above the proximal end of the second cantilever 52331, and the movable pressing piece 523121 is driven to press the flaw-piece by the contraction of the piston rod; in other examples, when the cylinder rod is attached to the second boom 52331 below the proximal end thereof, the cylinder rod extends to lift the proximal end of the second boom 52331 upward and rotate upward, thereby causing movable mass 523121 to approach and compress the flaw-piece during the downward movement.

In some examples, the second connecting portion may also be connected to a screw assembly or a telescopic rod driven by a motor, so as to drive the second cantilever to rotate around the second rotating shaft, thereby compressing or releasing the movable pressing block on the flaw-piece.

It should be noted that the number of the clamping members in the flaw-piece clamping mechanism can be changed correspondingly based on the form of the wire cutting device in the silicon rod extracting device, for example, when the wire cutting device of the silicon rod extracting device is provided with a single-wire cutting unit, the cutting operation of the silicon rod to be cut based on the cutting wire saw formed in the single-wire cutting unit needs to be performed four times of single-axial-surface cutting steps, and in this embodiment, the number of the clamping members is set to be one. The first uniaxial face cutting is executed to form a flaw-piece, the flaw-piece is clamped by a clamping piece and then is transferred away by one or more of the first lifting driving structure, the second lifting driving structure, the shifting mechanism and the swing arm rotating shaft, the cutting surface of the silicon rod to be cut is adjusted again (for example, the silicon rod bearing structure rotates for 90 degrees around the axis of the silicon rod), the second uniaxial face cutting is executed, the flaw-piece is formed again, the clamping and the transferring are repeatedly carried out, and the description is omitted. In other embodiments, each wire cutting device comprises two wire cutting units, wherein two wire cutting units form two relatively parallel cutting wires, and wherein two parallel axial surfaces are cut in one cutting operation, in which embodiment the clamping members are arranged in two opposite positions. The cutting of two parallel axial planes is carried out for the first time to form two edges, the two edges formed on the corresponding positions are clamped and conveyed to an unloading area by utilizing two clamping pieces, the cutting surface of the silicon rod to be cut is adjusted again (for example, the silicon rod bearing structure rotates for 90 degrees around the axis of the silicon rod), the cutting is carried out for the second time to form two parallel axial planes and form two edges, and the two edges formed on the corresponding positions are clamped, clamped and conveyed out by utilizing the two clamping pieces again.

In some examples, to avoid the movable pressure pieces from contacting the edging, wearing and damaging each other during long-term clamping, in some embodiments, the movable pressure pieces are provided with a cushion for contacting the edging. The buffer pad is made of elastic rubber material, or silica gel or other materials with elastic deformation, damping property or buffering property, so as to prevent the surface of the edge skin from being scratched or cracked during clamping and transportation.
