Description

Slicing unitized production line and control method, medium and equipment thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of wire cutting, and particularly provides a slicing unitized production line, a control method of the slicing unitized production line, a computer readable storage medium and computer equipment.

Background

Taking a hard and brittle material as a silicon rod as an example, a device for processing the silicon rod generally comprises a cutting machine for cutting a bar stock (round rod) according to a length specification, an squaring machine for cutting the round rod with a certain length into square rods, a grinding machine for grinding (a grinding surface and a chamfering) the square rod (such as rough grinding and fine grinding are usually included), and a slicing machine for slicing the square rod with the precision reaching the standard after the grinding, wherein the working principle of the slicing machine is that after the square rod is adhered to a crystal support, slicing operation is carried out on the square rod along the radial direction of the silicon rod by a wire mesh of the cutting machine in a wire saw cutting mode (the silicon rod is fed along the radial direction of the silicon rod and the wire mesh is reciprocated between adjacent cutting rollers), and silicon wafers (such as silicon wafers) are produced, and each complete slicing operation corresponding to the wire mesh is called one-cutter cutting operation of the slicing machine.

Taking the slicing operation as an example, the slicing operation of the existing slicing machine is concentrated near the slicing station, and each cutting operation is a single operation performed on a single silicon rod, since each cutting operation usually comprises several tens of operation steps and is usually completed by one to two operators. Such a processing mode often has the problems that the operation of the slicing machine has high requirements on the expertise and the proficiency of operators, the operation of the slicing machine is easy to make mistakes by operators due to more steps, and cutting anomalies with different degrees can be caused once the operators make mistakes.

Taking the photovoltaic industry as an example, which is one of the application fields of silicon wafers, along with the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the continuous production expansion requirement is necessarily put forward for the silicon wafer processing chain including slicing operation. As described above, this has led to a continuous increase in the gap of operators who have had a gap, and thus, the stand-alone products (slicers) corresponding to stand-alone operations have been gradually unable to meet the market demands. In view of this, the inventors have made intensive studies and analyses on the operation of the microtome, and have aimed at providing a unitized structure frame capable of realizing simultaneous operation of a plurality of microtomes.

It is understood that the transfer mechanism can be completed by the AGV in all links for the transfer task of the workpiece, or can be completed by the ground track robot only in part.

Furthermore, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, the principles of microtomes, AGVs, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art, have not been described in detail in order to highlight the gist of the present invention. The present invention will be explained below with reference to all or part of fig. 1 to 17.

A microtome is a form of apparatus of a wire cutting machine, and is mainly used for cutting a silicon rod (commonly called a square rod) having a grinding accuracy reaching the standard by using a wire net composed of cutting wires (such as diamond wires, etc.) to obtain a silicon wafer. In general, the slicing operation is performed by fixing the crystal support on the feeding mechanism after the sticking of the stick is completed (the square stick to be sliced is stuck to the crystal support) in a sticking workshop, and in the process of reciprocating the wire mesh wound on the cutting main roller of the cutting mechanism, the wire mesh can slice the square stick by a wire saw cutting manner by driving the silicon stick to approach the wire mesh by the feeding mechanism. If the slicing machine comprises a slicing machine body, a cutting chamber is formed on the slicing machine body, an operation door is arranged on the left side and the right side of the cutting chamber respectively, and a cutting mechanism is arranged in the cutting chamber. In this example, the cutting mechanism constituted by the plurality of main cutting rollers is constructed in such a manner that a single operation is a single-station structure capable of slicing one silicon rod.

In one possible embodiment, the present invention provides a slicing production line capable of realizing multi-machine automated production, and the production line mainly includes a production line main body 1, for example, the production line main body may include, but is not limited to, a necessary working table, an end allowing manual intervention, a part needing manual operation, a control end configured at an operation site, an acquisition end capable of acquiring an operation on site (such as a visual signal, an audio signal, etc.), a central control end capable of analyzing and controlling the slicing operation on site, and a reminding end capable of sending reminding information such as voice broadcasting, alarm, etc. if necessary. The slicing line includes a plurality of slicers 5 (single machines) disposed on the main body of the line, based on which, it is expected that the slicers simultaneously slice the silicon rod to be processed (the ground square rod) or select a part of the slicers to slice the silicon rod, for example, the single machines are disposed on both sides of the main body of the line in a removable manner, so that the scale of the line can be flexibly adjusted and the single machines can be replaced or overhauled after being removed. The configuration of the plurality of single units, the slicing operation mode, and the mode of arrangement thereof in the production line main body may be the same or different. Illustratively, the production line body includes a plurality of zones, wherein a single unit of a certain zone is mainly used for processing silicon wafers requiring more severe requirements, and thus the single unit corresponding to the zone has better processing accuracy.

In one possible embodiment, the production line body is provided with a loading assembly and a discharging assembly, wherein the loading assembly is connected with a glue shop or a glue area, and the silicon rods (bonded to the crystal trays) which are discharged from a curing warehouse of the glue shop can be transferred to the loading area 21 corresponding to the loading assembly by manual and/or automatic operation, and the trolley carrying the silicon rods is manually transferred to the loading area. The blanking assembly is connected with a degumming workshop or a degumming area, and the degumming workshop mainly carries out degumming treatment on silicon rods (a plurality of silicon wafers in a shape) which are adhered to the crystal support and are subjected to slicing operation. Similar to the previously described engagement between the glue shop and the loading operation, the silicon rods corresponding to the blanking area 22 of the blanking assembly may also be transferred to the degumming shop or degumming area by means of manual and/or automatic operations, for example, by manually transferring the trolley carrying the silicon rods to the degumming shop or degumming area. The up/down assembly typically includes an up/down cart or up/down rack, etc.

In one possible embodiment, the aforementioned multiple units share a single loading assembly and a single unloading assembly and employ similar loading and unloading control logic for the units. It is obvious that the structure of the feeding/discharging assembly can be adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, the method can include, but is not limited to, configuring a plurality of feeding assemblies and discharging assemblies for a plurality of slicing machines, such as configuring one feeding assembly and one discharging assembly for one or a plurality of single machines according to azimuth, priority, product model, attribute of a product to be processed (such as specificity or importance degree of a batch of products, etc.), and for one single machine or a plurality of single machines in the same row, for example, configuring one feeding assembly and one discharging assembly for a single machine, configuring one feeding assembly and one discharging assembly for a plurality of single machines, and configuring separate feeding and discharging control logic for one single machine or a plurality of single machines (such as also according to the azimuth, priority, product model, attribute of a product to be processed, etc.).

Taking a group of feeding components and a group of discharging components for example, the production line comprises a transfer mechanism, and the transfer mechanism is mainly used for realizing the transfer among the silicon rod to be sliced and the cut silicon wafer between the feeding components, the slicing machine and the discharging components and the transfer among the feeding components and the discharging components respectively, such as the transfer (feeding operation) of the silicon rod to be sliced, the transfer (discharging operation) of the silicon wafer after the cut between the slicing machine and the discharging components, the corresponding operation in the feeding/discharging components, the connection operation such as material taking and discharging in the area between the feeding/discharging components and the two, and the like.

In one possible embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes a manipulator/robot capable of traveling at least in the directions between the feeding component, the discharging component, and the different slicers, as in this embodiment, the manipulator of the transfer mechanism includes a plurality of AGVs 3 (six are included in this example), and the traveling logic of the six AGVs is used to realize the motion requirements of the AGVs between the feeding component and the discharging component (such as in the length direction corresponding to the slicing unitized production line, which may be referred to as the length direction), traveling in the direction of moving into/out of the cutting area of the single machine (such as in the width direction corresponding to the slicing unitized production line, which may be referred to as the width direction), traveling in the vertical direction (such as may be referred to as the longitudinal direction), traveling along other preset paths (such as oblique lines, folding lines, curves, etc.). For example, the corresponding single machine number can be calculated according to the logic beat of the group control system, so that the loading and unloading operation of the silicon rod on the single machine (moving in/out from a single machine cutting area) and the production line (entering a loading area of the production line or moving out of a discharging area of the production line) can be realized through the running of a plurality of AGVs in corresponding dimensions respectively carried by the AGVs.

The production line generally works in such a manner that, for example, the group control system can be combined with the number of silicon rods to be processed, the equipment state of the single machine, the state of the AGV and the like to match the current silicon rods to be processed with the proper single machine, and based on the group control system, the AGV conveys the silicon rods to be processed to a preset target position which can be connected with the single machine of the slicing machine from a feeding area corresponding to the feeding assembly through running matching along the length direction and the width direction according to a control instruction of the group control system. In the case where the silicon rod arrives at the target position, the group control system reconfirms the state information of the single microtome, such as state information including but not limited to in operation, in debugging, in maintenance, in fault processing, in standby, corresponding to the current arrival job, based on, for example, equipment management information, etc. When one or more of the AGVs fail, the single current slicer can be fed through the manner of manually feeding the front wall of the cutting room instead of the AGVs or by other AGVs instead of the AGVs originally configured for the current slicer. After the single machine of the slicing machine completes slicing operation on the silicon rod, the AGV moves the cut silicon wafer containing the crystal support to a blanking area corresponding to the blanking assembly through a walking path similar to the feeding operation path.

It can be seen that in the whole slicing unitized production line of the invention, the functional area mainly comprises a feeding area corresponding to the feeding assembly, a slicing area corresponding to a plurality of single slicing machines, a discharging area corresponding to the discharging assembly and a temporary storage area for temporarily storing the carrying trolley. Based on this, by means of the traveling of the AGV on the ground, the movement of the silicon rod between the different microtome units can be achieved.

In one possible implementation, the production line body is configured with a joining tool 4, which can be configured in an AGV, and a silicon rod or wafer containing a wafer support can be mounted to the joining tool. The connection tool is mainly used for being matched with an AGV, so that a silicon rod containing a crystal support is moved into a single-machine cutting area to realize single-machine slice feeding operation, or a silicon wafer containing the crystal support is moved out of the single-machine cutting area to realize single-machine slice discharging operation.

In one possible embodiment, the engagement fixture 4 includes a fixture base 40 as a mounting carrier, and a first movable portion 41 and a second movable portion provided on the fixture base, such as a robot arm, on which the engagement fixture can be mounted by being engaged with the fixture base. Illustratively, the tooling substrate is generally a plate-like structure. The first movable part can move along the direction of moving in/out from the cutting area of the single machine so as to drive the silicon rod containing the crystal support to move along the direction, and the second movable part can form a clamping space for tightly holding the silicon rod containing the crystal support. Therefore, on the basis that the silicon rod containing the crystal support is held tightly by the second movable part, the loading and unloading operation of the silicon rod containing the crystal support on a single machine can be realized by means of the first movable part.

In one possible embodiment, the first movable portion 41 generally comprises a strip-like structure disposed along the aforesaid direction of insertion/removal from the cutting area of the single machine, on which a docking structure capable of cooperating with the crystalline support is disposed or formed along its length, so as to achieve a rigid connection between the first movable portion and the operating end of the crystalline support by means of the docking structure. Illustratively, the docking structure is a protruding end 411 extending downward from the strip structure, the protruding end being capable of mating with a handle at the end of the wafer support as one of the operating ends to effect a secure connection between the first movable portion and the wafer support. Therefore, under the driving of the servo motor, the strip-shaped structure can freely slide in the groove on the upper surface of the crystal support, the connecting tool is driven to move downwards/upwards by the manipulator, and the extending end is matched with the handle at the tail end of the crystal support, so that the crystal support is clamped or released, and the strip-shaped structure is loosened. In the present invention, two protruding ends are provided at substantially two ends of the strip-like structure, respectively.

Illustratively, the first movable portion includes a first servo motor 412 that moves the strip-like structure in a direction of moving in/out from the cutting area of the single machine via a first lead screw nut mechanism 413. For example, to ensure that the movement of the first movable part is more stable, a first linear guide (not shown) may be arranged on the second movable part along the direction of the first movable part, and in this example, one first linear guide is arranged on each of two sides of the strip-shaped structure, and correspondingly, a sliding groove or a sliding hole capable of being matched with the linear guide is arranged at the end of the strip-shaped structure.

In one possible embodiment, the second movable portion includes oppositely disposed first and second portions 421 and 422 for holding or releasing the workpiece by moving the first and/or second portions in a direction toward/away from each other. Illustratively, if the second movable portion is configured with a second servo motor 423, the second servo motor is connected with a second screw-nut mechanism 424, and the screw of the second screw-nut mechanism includes two threaded sections with opposite rotation directions, and nuts adapted to the threaded sections with opposite rotation directions are fixedly connected with the first portion and the second portion, respectively. In this way, approaching/separating between the two parts can be achieved. For example, in order to ensure a more stable approaching/separating movement between the two clamping portions, a second linear guide 425, which is adapted to a second spindle nut mechanism, may be arranged between the first and the second portion.

In one possible embodiment, in order to ensure that the two clamping portions can clamp the silicon rod containing the crystal support more reliably, the first/second portions are formed with clamping structures on sides close to each other, for example, the first/second portions have vertically arranged clamping plates 426 on the portions close to each other, and a plurality of protrusions 427 with buffering function are arranged on the clamping plates, so that the reliability of clamping can be ensured by multi-point clamping. Of course, the protrusion 427 may be directly fixed to the first and second portions. As in the present example, the first/second portions can be mated with a pair of sides of the wafer support, respectively, to clasp a silicon rod containing the wafer support within a clamping space formed by the first and second portions. Illustratively, the clamping plate includes a transverse portion and a vertical portion, the clamping plate being disposed inboard of the vertical portion, and reinforcing structures such as reinforcing ribs, reinforcing plates, etc. being disposed between the transverse portion and the vertical portion.

Referring mainly to fig. 5 to 9, as based on the above-described structure, after the robot arm conveys the silicon rod (in the length direction and the width direction) in place (fig. 5), the slice feeding operation flow for the single cutting chamber mainly includes the following steps:

S11, enabling the AGV to drive the connection tool to move downwards, enabling the extending end of the tail end (the right end in fig. 5) of the strip-shaped structure to move downwards so as to hook the handle of the tail end of the crystal support, and therefore the rear end of the strip-shaped structure is fixedly connected with the silicon rod containing the crystal support.

S12, the first servo motor 412 drives the strip-shaped structure to move (extend) towards the direction of the cutting chamber, so that the whole material (silicon rod containing the crystal support) is pushed out of the connecting tool, and the crystal support enters the feeding guide rail of the slicing machine.

S13, the AGV drives the connection tool to move upwards, so that the extending end at the rear end of the strip-shaped structure moves upwards to leave the handle at the tail end of the crystal support. The first servo motor 412 drives the strip-shaped structure to move (retract) towards the direction of the engagement tool, and the AGV drives the engagement tool to move downwards, so that the extending end of the front end (the left end in fig. 5) of the strip-shaped structure moves downwards, and the extending end of the front end of the strip-shaped structure hooks the handle of the tail end of the crystal support, so that the front end of the strip-shaped structure is fixedly connected with the silicon rod containing the crystal support.

S14, the first servo motor 412 drives the strip structure to move (extend) towards the cutting chamber, so that the strip structure moves (extends) again towards the cutting chamber, and the whole material is pushed into the single cutting chamber.

S15, the AGV drives the connection tool to move upwards, so that the extending end at the front end of the strip-shaped structure moves upwards to leave the handle at the tail end of the crystal support. The first servo motor 412 then drives the bar-like structure to move (retract) into the interior of the engagement tool in a direction toward the engagement tool.

Similarly, still based on the above structure, after the manipulator conveys the silicon rod (in the length direction and the width direction) in place (fig. 10), the dicing and blanking operation flow for the single-machine cutting chamber mainly refers to fig. 10 to 14, and as in the state shown in fig. 14, the strip-shaped structure moves in the direction away from the cutting chamber (gradually into the interior of the joining tool), so that the whole material (silicon rod including the crystal support) is pulled into the space below the joining tool.

It can be seen that the arrangement of the two extending ends of the front end and the tail end of the strip-shaped structure and the cooperation of the strip-shaped structure and the crystal support and the corresponding movement mode thereof are combined, so that the feeding and discharging operation of the single-machine cutting chamber is reliably realized.

In one possible implementation, a rear loading and unloading port may be disposed on a rear wall of the cutting chamber (near a feeding position of the unitized production line), a rear automatic loading and unloading door may be disposed at a position corresponding to the rear loading and unloading port, an automatic loading and unloading auxiliary rail may be disposed between the crystal support and the rear automatic loading and unloading door, and the orientation and structure of the automatic loading and unloading auxiliary rail and the crystal support may be adapted (e.g., the height is approximately level).

In one possible implementation manner, a front-end manual feeding and discharging door can be arranged on the front wall of the cutting chamber, a manual feeding and discharging auxiliary guide rail is arranged between the front-end manual feeding and discharging door and the crystal support, and the direction and structure of the manual feeding and discharging auxiliary guide rail and the crystal support can be adapted (such as the height is approximately level). Therefore, the silicon rod containing the crystal support can be fed through the front end manual feeding and discharging door and the manual feeding and discharging auxiliary guide rail by means of carrying equipment such as a feeding trolley, so that forearm feeding is realized, or the silicon wafer containing the crystal support is discharged after slicing operation is finished. For example, when the slicing machine is used as a minimum unit sold separately, the front-end manual feeding and discharging door can be used for feeding and discharging the slicing machine which is separated from the slicing unitized production line scene. And, if the feeding failure occurs in the slicing unitized production line, the feeding and discharging operation of the corresponding single slicer machine can be realized by means of the front-end feeding and discharging port.

On the one hand, the process of serial connection among the transfer mechanism, the feeding/discharging assembly, the connecting tool and the single machine of a plurality of slicing machines can be realized to unitize and automate slicing operation. On the other hand, the traditional manual feeding and discharging operation in the scene of separating from unitization and automation operation can be realized in a manual feeding and discharging mode. In this way, the single microtome unit as the basic microtome unit in the slicing unitized production line of the present invention is expected to be sold in a form of an element of a product constituting the production line, or can be sold in a separate form after being directly or through acceptable adjustment (for example, the structural form and the arrangement orientation of a liquid path system, an electric control cabinet, a liquid supply cylinder, etc. are adjusted to an acceptable degree on the premise of being allowed, for example, the restriction set for adapting to the scene of the unitized production line can be removed to a certain extent on the basis of the adjustment, and the microtome unit as the basic microtome unit in the slicing unitized production line of the present invention is more friendly to adapt to different application scenes according to actual demands, and has good commercial prospects.

Embodiment one:

Referring mainly to fig. 15, in one possible embodiment, the slicer 5 includes, in addition to the aforementioned slicer body 51 (including a frame and the like), a cutting chamber 52, a cutting mechanism 53 around which a cutting line is provided and which forms a cutting wire net, a liquid path portion including, for example, a liquid path system 54, a liquid supply cylinder 55, and a cutting liquid charging cart (not shown), and an electric control portion including, for example, an electric control cabinet 57, the main functions of the cutting liquid continuously supplied by the liquid path system including cooling, lubrication, and taking away silicon powder and the like generated at a kerf during slicing operation. As in the present embodiment, the fluid path system includes an inner circulation fluid path unit 541 and an outer circulation fluid path unit 542 which are separately provided, and the electric control cabinet 57 is provided in two according to low pressure and high pressure (e.g., respectively denoted as a low pressure electric control cabinet 571 and a high pressure electric control cabinet 572), and a fluid supply cylinder capable of supplying and recovering the cutting fluid is provided in a bottom space of the fluid path system.

In order to adapt to the necessary coordination of the single microtome, the engagement tool and the transfer mechanism required in the slicing and unitizing production line, in this embodiment, the liquid path system is disposed at the rear side of the cutting chamber, and the inner circulation liquid path unit and the outer circulation liquid path unit are disposed at the rear position of the cutting chamber and on both sides. The low-voltage control cabinet and the high-voltage control cabinet are respectively arranged above the inner circulation liquid path unit and the outer circulation liquid path unit. Therefore, the space between the two electric control cabinets can form a necessary avoiding space for feeding operation from the rear end (the position close to the feeding and discharging opening on the rear end of the single slicer) to the front end (the position close to the AGV layout area), so that the avoiding space for automatic feeding and discharging operation of the single slicer can be formed.

The base of the internal circulation liquid path unit rises to reserve space for the liquid supply cylinder, so that the liquid supply cylinder can be arranged below the internal circulation liquid path unit. Because the dead weight of the high-voltage control cabinet is heavier than that of the low-voltage control cabinet, the base of the external circulation liquid path unit directly falls to the ground. The cutting fluid adding trolley can be arranged on one side close to the external circulation fluid path unit.

It can be understood that, under the premise of ensuring that the slicing machine single machine can be adapted to a slicing unitized operation production line, a person skilled in the art can flexibly adjust elements of the slicing machine single machine and relative positions among the elements according to actual conditions. For example, the single microtome may also be (including but not limited to) the following constitution modes:

Embodiment two:

referring mainly to fig. 16, unlike the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the fluid path system and the electric control cabinet are separately disposed at positions behind the cutting chamber and on both sides, and the fluid supply cylinder is disposed at a position between the fluid path system and the electric control cabinet. Therefore, a space between the liquid path system and the electric control cabinet forms an avoidance space capable of ensuring automatic feeding and discharging operation of a single machine of the slicing machine.

Embodiment III:

Referring mainly to fig. 17, unlike the second embodiment, in this embodiment, the fluid path system and the electric control cabinet are disposed at one side behind the cutting chamber of the single microtome in a longitudinally stacked manner, wherein the fluid path system is located below the electric control cabinet. The liquid supply cylinder is arranged beside the liquid path system and the electric control cabinet, and has no overlapping or a certain overlapping part with the cutting chamber in space if observed along the automatic feeding and discharging direction. Therefore, the liquid path system and the electric control cabinet are arranged without interference due to the lower height of the liquid supply cylinder, so that the formation of an avoidance space for automatic feeding and discharging operation of a single slicer can be ensured.

Embodiment four:

In this embodiment, the electric control cabinet is adjusted to be a hanging cabinet which is arranged in a hanging manner, so that a space between two liquid path units of the liquid path system forms an avoidance space capable of ensuring automatic feeding and discharging operations of a single machine of the slicing machine. It can be understood that the suspended setting mode and setting position of the hanging cabinet can be arbitrarily selected according to actual requirements.

In the slicing unitized production line of the invention, the single slicer is better adapted to the production line by making necessary adjustments to the conventional slicer. Based on the above, the silicon rod containing the crystal support before slicing and the silicon wafer containing the crystal support after slicing can be connected between the feeding assembly and the discharging assembly through the configuration of one or more transfer mechanisms such as AGVs. Through the configuration of linking frock, can make the silicon rod before the section and the monocrystalline silicon rod that contains brilliant support after the section can link up between AGV and arbitrary unit in a flexible way smoothly. On the basis, by analyzing the operation of a single machine, the operation between the single machine and the AGV and the operation between the feeding assembly and the discharging assembly, corresponding control logic is provided (such as a group control system comprising field control and remote central control) so as to realize unitized production of slicing operation. On the basis of unitization of slicing operation, the method is expected to better meet the market development requirements of sliced products such as silicon wafers and the like, and better caters to the development trend of the photovoltaic industry.

Thus far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments.
