[0044] like Figures 1 to 14As shown, a second spray rack 241 is arranged below the two groups of transmission chains 202, and the second spray rack 241 is installed inside the base 101. A plurality of brush bodies 231 are arranged equidistantly below the two groups of transmission chains 202. A hollow round rod 232 is arranged inside the brush body 231.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, it should be noted that: this device needs to be used in conjunction with an etching liquid pumping mechanism and a cleaning liquid pumping mechanism. The etching liquid pumping mechanism is connected to the liquid inlet of the etching liquid spray rack 211 through a pipeline, and the cleaning liquid pumping mechanism is connected to the cleaning liquid spray rack 212 and the pipe opening of the third connecting pipe 225 farthest from the second spray rack 241 through a pipeline. Its working principle and use process are well known in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The etching liquid spray rack 211, the cleaning liquid spray rack 212 and the second spray rack 241 are composed of a frame with a hollow interior, a liquid inlet installed on the surface of the frame and an atomizing nozzle evenly installed on the surface of the frame, and are used to spray atomized liquid;

[0048] The pipe connection mode of the present device is a common use mode of pipes, such as through threaded connection. When it is necessary to maintain a seal, a sealing gasket can be used in conjunction with it. When it is necessary to pass through the surface of the base 101 or the U-shaped frame 102, a reserved opening can be opened to allow the pipe to be fixedly connected thereto. The pipe connected to the open end of the hollow round rod 232 needs to use a rotating sealing ring and a bearing to cooperate with the rotation of the hollow round rod 232. This is well known in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] The device can be used in conjunction with a loading machine. The loading machine can use a mechanical arm with a vacuum suction cup.

The horizontal portion 2341 cannot be stretched, and the folding portion 2342 can rotate around the horizontal portion 2341 to complete the stretching of the folding baffle 234. At the same time, the folding baffle 234 in the folded state protrudes in the vertical upward direction to avoid scratching the first recycling box 205 and the first mounting column 206. The benefit of this arrangement is that the etching liquid falling on the surface of the folding baffle 234 will gather towards the transmission bars 204 on both sides so that it can be absorbed by the recovery holes 233 on the surface of the transmission bar 204;

[0051] The push block 219 is hemispherical in shape, and a through hole is formed on its surface so as to communicate with the interior of the transmission bar 204;

[0052] Small holes are evenly formed on the surface of the hollow round rod 232 , so that the negative pressure generated in the second recovery box 207 can adsorb the brush body 231 and accelerate the drying of the brush body 231 .

[0053] Working principle: Set the transmission gear 201 to rotate counterclockwise. Before starting work, the unnecessary bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 can be covered with the protective cover 227 according to the size of the substrate to be etched. The threaded fit between the two and the sealing effect of the second sealing ring 228 and the first sealing ring 223 make the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 sealed inside the protective cover 227;

[0054] In this embodiment, when etching is performed, the substrate to be etched is placed in a fixed position above the horizontal conveying section of the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222, and the two driving motors 103 are started at the same time to horizontally transmit the substrate from left to right. The etching liquid spraying rack 211 sprays the etching liquid through the etching liquid pumping mechanism, and the first negative pressure pump 209 and the second negative pressure pump 210 are started. During the transmission process of the transmission chain 202, the support gear 240 plays a supporting role to maintain the stability of the movement of the fixed plate 203, and the fan 104 is started;

[0055] In this embodiment, when the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 carrying the substrate to be etched moves to the top of the first recovery box 205, due to the covering of the transmission bar 204, the fixed baffle 243 and the folding baffle 234, the interior of the first recovery box 205 always generates a negative pressure. Under the action of the negative pressure, the second connecting pipe 221 on the partition plate 220 absorbs the substrate through the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 and the first sealing ring 223, so that the substrate remains stable during the conveying process. The substrate continues to be conveyed to the left, first passes through the first U-shaped block 214, and is blown by the rightmost fan 104, so that the etching liquid sprayed by the etching liquid spray rack 211 will not overflow to the right side of the first U-shaped block 214. When the substrate moves to the area between the first U-shaped block 214 and the second U-shaped block 213, its surface The surface is sprayed with etching liquid, and the reacted etching liquid is mixed with the etching liquid not sprayed on the substrate to form an etching liquid of medium concentration, which is respectively gathered on the surfaces of the fixed baffle 243 and the folding baffle 234. Under the action of the negative pressure of the first recovery box 205, the etching liquid is absorbed by the recovery hole 233 on the surface of the fixed baffle 243, and falls into the interior of the first recovery box 205 through the transmission bar 204. The etching liquid on the surface of the folding baffle 234 continuously flows to the transmission bars 204 on both sides through the guidance of the folding part 2342, and is finally absorbed by the recovery hole 233. The etching liquid falling into the first recovery box 205 is pumped out of the device by the second negative pressure pump 210. A recovery device can be installed at the first installation column 206 where the second negative pressure pump 210 is located to recover the etching liquid of medium concentration;

[0056] In this embodiment, after the etching of the substrate is completed, the second U-shaped block 213 blows away most of the etching liquid on its surface, reducing the corrosion of the substrate by the residual etching liquid. At the same time, it also prevents the etching liquid on the right side of the second U-shaped block 213 from overflowing to the left side of the second U-shaped block 213, causing waste. The substrate entering the left side of the second U-shaped block 213 is cleaned by the cleaning liquid sprayed by the cleaning liquid spray rack 212. At this time, the residual etching liquid mixed with the cleaning liquid enters the interior of the second recovery box 207 and is mixed into a low-concentration etching liquid, which is pumped out of the device by the first negative pressure pump 209. A recovery device can be installed at the pipe mouth of the second installation column 208 where the first negative pressure pump 209 is located to recover the low-concentration etching liquid;

[0057] In this embodiment, when the substrate moves between the first U-shaped block 214 and the second U-shaped block 213, the push block 219 on the surface of the transmission bar 204 enters the second air gap opened on the bottom surface of the hollow rectangular block 217. During this process, the push block 219 continuously lifts the rotating block 218 in contact with it, so that the air pumped by the fan 104 inside the second U-shaped block 213 and the first U-shaped block 214 enters the hollow rectangular block 217, and passes from the inside of the hollow rectangular block 217 through the first connecting pipe 216 into the transmission bar 204, above the partition plate 220, and part of the gas is discharged from the inside of the T-shaped blowing pipe 224 through the first air hole 226. This part of the air flow will form an air cushion on the bottom surface of the substrate, reducing the pollution of the mist etching solution and the liquid etching solution to the bottom of the substrate;

[0058] In this embodiment, the cleaning liquid pumping mechanism pumps cleaning liquid into the cleaning liquid spraying rack 212, so that the cleaning liquid spraying rack 212 sprays toward the substrate after etching to clean the substrate, and the substrate continues to move to the left. When the substrate moves to the left side of the third U-shaped block 215, no negative pressure is generated inside the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222, and the substrate can be easily removed from the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222. At this time, the substrate removal device can be processed for the next step; the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 of the removed substrate continues to move, and in the process of moving to the arc segment, the liquid remaining on the surfaces of the transmission bar 204, the fixed baffle 243 and the folding baffle 234 will gather and drip into the groove at the bottom of the U-shaped rack 102;

[0059] In this embodiment, the cleaning liquid pumping mechanism pumps cleaning liquid into the third connecting pipe 225, and the high-speed flowing cleaning liquid drives the impeller 230 inside the power drum 229 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller 230 drives the hollow round rod 232, and the cleaning liquid flowing from the third connecting pipe 225 to the second spray rack 241 is sprayed and cleaned on the surface of the bucket-shaped suction nozzle 222 and the transmission bar 204. After being wiped by the brush body 231, the first sealing ring 223 is kept in a wet state and moved to the horizontal section so that it can better adsorb the substrate. The low-concentration etching liquid accumulated in the bottom groove of the base 101 will be sucked away through the recovery pipe 235 by the negative pressure generated by the first negative pressure pump 209, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of the etching liquid;
