[0038] In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the above technical scheme will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings of the specification and the specific embodiments.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 to the preferred embodiments of the present application.

[0040] A panel and semiconductor copper etching liquid production equipment comprises:

[0041] The first raw material tank 11 is used for storing N-methyl formamide;

[0042] The second raw material tank 12 is used for storing hydrogen peroxide;

[0051] The bottom outlets of the first raw material tank 11 to the eighth raw material tank 18 are all installed with the first electric control valve 24, and the inlets of the seven branch material conveying pipes 21 are all installed with the second electric control valve 25.

[0052] In this embodiment, pure water is dispersed from the main material conveying pipe 20 to the branch material conveying pipe 21, and the raw materials of the copper etching solution except pure water enter the respective branch material conveying pipes 21 respectively, are mixed with pure water to form a solution, and then are conveyed to the stirring mixing kettle 40 through the vertical pipe 23 under the driving of the corresponding liquid pump 30, so that the staff do not need to carry the powder raw materials to the upper side of the stirring mixing kettle 40, directly add the powder raw materials in the corresponding position of the raw material tank, save time, and efficiently produce the copper etching solution of the panel and the semiconductor.

[0053] The first electrically controlled valve 24 is used to control whether the raw material of the corresponding raw material tank falls and the falling speed, and the second electrically controlled valve 25 is used to control whether pure water flows to the corresponding material conveying branch pipe 21, and the powder raw material and other liquid raw materials are mixed into a solution in the pure water, and the solution is transported upward through the vertical pipe 23 to the top inlet of the stirring mixing kettle 40, and the liquid pump 30 is powered.
