The conventional method for detecting an ultrasonic cleaning device is to use a sensor detection I to detect whether the tank of the cleaning tank is vibrated when the ultrasonic oscillator is started, and is used to detect whether the cleaning tank is vibrated. Sensors are usually mercury switches, piezo-inductive sensors, or 1C sensors specifically used to detect vibration. However, no matter which sensor is used, they all have the following common disadvantages: 1. Easy to install : Because the sensor must be closely attached to the cleaning tank, when designing the cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaning device, the position of the device sensor must be reserved in advance, otherwise the sensor cannot be installed on the cleaning tank. 2 · Vulnerable to external interference: In addition to the sensor's ability to sense the vibration of the cleaning tank-2-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ------- ------ Install ------- Order ------ II · Line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 478972 Printed by A7, Consumer Cooperatives, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs B7 V.

Description of the invention (10) Ultrasonic transducer 30 Acoustic wave 40a Peak position detection Detailed description of the device: As shown in FIG. 1, the ultrasonic cleaning device failure detection device of the present invention mainly includes: an ultrasonic transducer 10, which has the same center as the ultrasonic cleaning device to be detected Frequency, which can sense the vibration energy of the ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic cleaning device * and convert the vibration energy of the ultrasonic wave into an analog signal output; and an amplifier 20 for generating the ultrasonic transducer Signal amplification; and a filter 30, which is used to filter the noise of the signal generated by the ultrasonic transducer 10, so as to eliminate the external current noise and other noise received by the ultrasonic transducer 10 Noise caused by external interference; and an integrator 40, which is used to convert the analog signal rectified by the filter 30 into a high-low potential digital signal output to indicate whether the oscillator of the ultrasonic cleaning device is normal status. As shown in FIG. 2, it is a schematic diagram of the lotus of the present invention. For convenience of explanation, the present invention is used as an example to explain the case where the ultrasonic cleaner with a center frequency of 40 KHz is used. The center frequency that can be sensed by the ultrasonic transducer 10 is the same as the center frequency of the ultrasonic cleaning device is 40K40Z. Therefore, when the ultrasonic cleaning device is activated, the ultrasonic transducer can detect the The measurement method senses the sonic vibration energy child generated by the shaker, and generates an analog signal 50 with a center frequency of 40KΗζ. After the analog signal 50 is processed by the amplifier 20, its intensity is increased, and then processed by the filter 40 to filter out other external interference signals. Only the central 20 amplifier 40 integrator 50 analog signal and 4 paper are retained.

Description of the invention () The signal with a frequency of 40KHZ passes, and then the integrator 40 series can generate a signal of a pseudo-potential when receiving a signal with a center frequency of 40KHz. Let M denote the ultrasonic washing The state of normal operation of the vibrator of the clean device 'and if the frequency of the output of the vibrator of the ultrasonic cleaning device is insufficient' or when the lotus is stopped, the signal frequency sensed by the ultrasonic transducer 10 is insufficient 40 KHz, at this time, the integrator 40 will produce a low-potential signal output, and M represents the abnormal state of the ultrasonic cleaning device. As shown in FIG. 3, it is a second embodiment of the present invention. When the ultrasonic cleaning device has a plurality of vibrators, the fault detection device of the present invention cannot simply rely on whether the vibrators generate sound waves. In order to detect whether the operation is normal, it is necessary to detect whether the intensity of the sound wave generated by the ultrasonic cleaning device is correct to detect whether the ultrasonic cleaning device has a part of the vibrator failure. The detection method is shown in FIG. 3. In the second embodiment, the integrator 40 described above is changed to a peak position detector 40a. The peak position detector 40a can distinguish the magnitude of the analog signal and judge Whether the size of the analog signal is lower than normal. Therefore, when one of the plurality of oscillators of the ultrasonic cleaning device fails, the intensity of the analog signal 50 detected by the ultrasonic transducer 10 decreases, and the peak position detector 40a can detect the The strength of the analog signal 50 is lower than the standard value, so it is judged that the vibrator of the ultrasonic cleaning device is faulty. As shown in FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of a method for installing the apparatus of the present invention in an ultrasonic cleaning device. When the fault detecting device of the ultrasonic cleaning device of the present invention is installed, the ultrasonic transducer does not need to be directly installed. On the cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaning device, and its volume is small and does not take up space, it can be applied to the paper size of China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm).

Description of the invention () Μ is installed at any position of the semiconductor equipment machine * Therefore, the installation position of the fault detection device of the ultrasonic cleaning device of the present invention has considerable flexibility. As shown in FIG. 4, when the present invention is installed, the ultrasonic transducer 10 is installed inside a semiconductor device machine 1 near the cleaning tank 2, and then the ultrasonic transducer is connected through a line 3. The analog signal detected by 10 is transmitted to a signal processing circuit assembly 4 composed of the aforementioned circuit components such as amplifier 20, filter 30, integrator 40, and then generated by the signal processing circuit assembly 4 through a transmission interface 5. The judgment signal is transmitted to a monitoring computer 6 to monitor whether the lotus operation of the ultrasonic cleaning device is normal. The invention does not need to directly install the ultrasonic transducer 10 on the cleaning tank, and has the characteristics of small volume and no space, so it can be arbitrarily installed at any position on the semiconductor device platform, thus making the invention The installation method has considerable flexibility, so it can greatly improve the flexibility of the space allocation of the semiconductor machine. At the same time, the fault detection device of the present invention can filter the noise generated by the external interference through the filter, so the current can be avoided. Interference signals generated by noise and external vibrations affect the accuracy of the detection results, thus greatly improving the accuracy of the detection results of the present invention. -6- --------- install --------- order --------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the scale is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm)
