Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a coating, developing and cleaning all-in-one machine to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, reduce the pollution caused by the staff and improve the quality of the finished substrate.
[0051] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0052] Embodiment 1
[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a coating, developing and cleaning all-in-one machine, which mainly includes:
[0054] The main box 100 is a closed box, and a loading chamber 1 and a processing chamber are arranged therein. The processing chamber includes a cleaning chamber 2, a coating chamber 3, a heating chamber 4, an exposure chamber 5 and a developing chamber 6 arranged in sequence. The cleaning chamber 2 is arranged close to the loading chamber 1; a loading platform 101 is arranged in the loading chamber 1, and a loading mechanism is arranged on the loading platform 101 for loading the substrate 13; a cleaning platform is arranged in the cleaning chamber 2, and a cleaning mechanism is arranged on the cleaning platform for cleaning the substrate 13. The coating chamber 3 is provided with a coating platform, and a coating mechanism is provided on the coating platform for coating the substrate 13; the heating chamber 4 is provided with a heating platform, and a heating mechanism is provided on the heating platform for heating the substrate 13; the exposure chamber 5 is provided with an exposure platform, and an exposure mechanism is provided on the exposure platform for exposing the substrate 13; the developing chamber 6 is provided with a developing platform 601, and a developing mechanism is provided on the developing platform 601 for developing the substrate 13;
[0055] The substrate transport mechanism is used to drive the substrate 13 to be transported between the loading platform 101 , the cleaning platform, the coating platform, the heating platform, the exposure platform and the developing platform 601 .
[0056] It should be noted that the glue spreading, developing and cleaning all-in-one machine in this embodiment has a controller, which can perform data processing and control the above-mentioned feeding mechanism, cleaning mechanism, glue spreading mechanism, heating mechanism, exposure mechanism and developing mechanism; wherein, the controller can be selected according to specific work needs, for example, a PLC controller can be used.
[0057] In this embodiment, the loading mechanism, cleaning mechanism, glue spreading mechanism, heating mechanism, exposure mechanism and developing mechanism are integrated into a main box 100, and the substrate 13 is transferred between the various mechanisms through the substrate transportation mechanism to complete the loading, cleaning, glue spreading, heating, exposure and development processes of the substrate 13. During the entire working process, there is no human intervention, which reduces the pollution caused by the staff and improves the quality of the finished product.
[0058] Further, it needs to be explained that the substrate 13 in this embodiment mainly refers to a large-sized glass substrate, such as a square glass substrate with a side length of 500 mm. The all-in-one coating, developing and cleaning machine in this embodiment can be applied to process the above-mentioned large-sized glass substrate.
[0059] In this embodiment, the substrate transport mechanism mainly includes a guide rail 7 and a transport mechanical arm 11. The guide rail 7 is arranged on one side of the processing chamber and extends from the loading chamber 1 to the developing chamber 6. The front end of the guide rail 7 (the end away from the developing chamber 6) is close to the loading chamber 1. The transport mechanical arm 11 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 7. The transport mechanical arm 11 is provided with a fork plate 12. The transport mechanical arm 11 can drive the fork plate 12 to extend under the substrate 13 to lift the substrate 13 for transport. Among them, two fork plates 12 can be arranged side by side, and the two fork plates 12 are used to extend into the bottom two sides of the substrate 13 respectively, and lift the substrate 13 from both sides to improve stability. Moreover, a limit block is arranged at the end of the fork plate 12 (the end away from the transport mechanical arm 11) and the outer side of the fork plate 12. When the fork plate 12 lifts the substrate 13, the limit block is located at the outer edge of the substrate 13 to limit it to prevent the substrate 13 from falling.
[0060] In this embodiment, the loading chamber 1, the cleaning chamber 2, the glue spreading chamber 3, the heating chamber 4, the exposure chamber 5 and the developing chamber 6 are all provided with automatic opening and closing doors on the side close to the guide rail 7 for allowing the transport robot arm 11 to pass through.
[0061] In this embodiment, the guide rail 7 is preferably arranged at the rear side of the processing chamber, wherein Figure 2 As shown, what is shown is the front side of the main box body 100, and the "rear side" refers to the side facing away from the front side of the main box body 100.
[0062] In this embodiment, a first sensing device is also provided at any of the automatic opening and closing doors, and the first sensing device is used to sense the position of the transporting mechanical arm 11, and the first sensing device is connected to the controller signal; when the first sensing device senses the transporting mechanical arm 11, and the transporting mechanical arm 11 needs to pass through the corresponding automatic opening and closing door, the controller controls the corresponding automatic opening and closing door to open, so that the transporting mechanical arm 11 can pass through. The first sensing device can be selected as needed, for example, it can be an infrared sensor, a photoelectric switch, or an image recognition device such as a camera.
[0063] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the transporting mechanical arm 11 can be selected as needed, as long as it can realize the transportation of the substrate 13 between various chambers. For example, when the front and rear widths of the loading chamber 1 and the processing chamber are consistent, the guide rail 7 can be set along the entire length of the main box 100, which is also located at the rear side of the loading chamber 1. At this time, the transporting mechanical arm 11 only needs to drive the fork plate 12 to move forward and backward to realize the placement of the substrate 13 into each chamber or the removal of the substrate 13 from each chamber; at this time, the transporting mechanical arm 11 includes a fixed base and a linear drive mechanism, the fixed base is slidably set on the guide rail 7 through the slider 10, and the slider 10 can be driven to move along the guide rail 7 by a transmission belt or a screw mechanism, or a walking wheel can be set at the bottom of the slider 10, and the walking wheel is driven by a motor to rotate to realize the movement of the slider 10 on the guide rail 7; and the linear drive mechanism is connected to the fork plate 12 to drive the fork plate 12 to move forward and backward, wherein the linear drive mechanism can select an electric push rod, a hydraulic rod or a linear motor as needed.
[0064] Alternatively, the volume of the loading chamber 1 can be set larger to facilitate the staff to enter the loading chamber 1, so as to place the unprocessed substrate 13 on the loading mechanism, or take out the processed substrate 13; at this time, the front and rear widths of the loading chamber 1 are greater than the front and rear widths of the processing chamber, and the rear side of the loading chamber 1 protrudes backward relative to the processing chamber. The guide rail 7 is only arranged close to the loading chamber 1 but does not extend into the loading chamber 1. A switch door is arranged on the rear side of the loading chamber 1 close to the cleaning chamber 2. When the transport robot 11 transports the substrate 13 between the loading chamber 1 and the cleaning chamber 2, it needs to turn; therefore, the transport robot 11 can also include a rotating platform, and the bottom of the fixed base is rotatably arranged on the slider 10 through the rotating platform to realize the turning of the transport robot 11.
[0065] Alternatively, a transport robot arm 11 with other structures may be selected according to work requirements.
[0066] In this embodiment, the cleaning platform, the glue-spreading platform, the heating platform, the exposure platform and the developing platform 601 can be independently arranged, or the above-mentioned multiple platforms can be integrated into an integral machine, and a partition is arranged on the integral machine to separate the above-mentioned multiple sealed cavities. Furthermore, the loading platform 101, the cleaning platform, the glue-spreading platform, the heating platform, the exposure platform and the developing platform 601 can all be made of stainless steel frames and sheet metal plates to improve the overall strength and corrosion resistance and extend the service life.

The front of the loading chamber 1 is provided with an access door 14, so as to facilitate the staff to directly enter the loading chamber 1, so as to take and place the substrate 13 and perform equipment maintenance, etc., and the access door 14 can also be provided with a visual window 16.
[0069] In this embodiment, the loading platform 101, the cleaning platform, the glue-spreading platform, the heating platform, the exposure platform and the developing platform 601 are all provided with a second sensing device, which is used to sense the substrate 13, and the second sensing device is connected to the controller signal. When the second sensing device senses that the substrate 13 is in place, the controller controls the corresponding loading mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, the glue-spreading mechanism, the heating mechanism, the exposure mechanism or the developing mechanism to work. The second sensing device can be selected as needed, for example, it can be an infrared sensor, a photoelectric switch, or an image recognition device such as a camera.

The loading platform 102 is used to support the substrate 13, and the loading platform 102 is provided with the first fixing mechanism 103 for fixing the substrate 13. In this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism can drive the loading platform 102 to move upward to support the substrate 13, or drive the loading platform 102 to move downward to provide space for the flipping of the substrate 13. The first lifting mechanism can be selected according to specific work needs, for example, an electric push rod or a hydraulic rod can be selected.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first fixing mechanism 103 mainly includes a clamping block, and there are multiple clamping blocks arranged along the circumference of the loading platform 102. The substrate 13 is clamped and fixed by multiple clamping blocks to improve stability; wherein, the loading platform 102 is preferably a rectangular structure, and one or two clamping blocks are arranged on each of its four sides, or only two clamping blocks are arranged on each of its two long sides (perpendicular to the fork plate 12). It should be noted that the above-mentioned clamping blocks should be staggered from the fork plate 12 to facilitate the placement and removal of the substrate 13. Further, the inner side of the clamping block can protrude inward to form a support platform, the height of the support platform is lower than the overall height of the clamping block, and the edge of the substrate 13 can be placed on the support platform; and the clamping block can be made of softer materials such as plastic and rubber to prevent the substrate 13 from being damaged, or a protective cushion layer made of softer materials such as plastic and rubber can be set at the contact between the clamping block and the substrate 13.
[0072] In this embodiment, the loading mechanism also includes a flipping mechanism, which includes an active rotating mechanism and a passive rotating mechanism, and the active rotating mechanism and the passive rotating mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the loading platform 102, for clamping both sides of the substrate 13 and driving the substrate 13 to flip; when one side of the substrate 13 is processed, the substrate 13 is re-conveyed to the loading chamber 1, and when the transport robot arm 11 drives the substrate 13 to the position, the first lifting mechanism drives the loading platform 102 to rise to receive the substrate 13, and then the transport robot arm 11 drives the fork plate 12 to retract, and the flipping mechanism clamps both sides of the substrate 13; then, the first lifting mechanism drives the loading platform 102 to descend, providing space for the flipping of the substrate 13, and the flipping mechanism drives the substrate 13 to flip. After the flipping is completed, the first lifting mechanism drives the loading platform 102 to rise to receive the substrate 13, the flipping mechanism releases the substrate 13, and the transport robot arm 11 drives the fork plate 12 to extend under the substrate 13 to lift the substrate 13, and then drives the substrate 13 to pass through the above-mentioned multiple cavities in sequence to complete the processing of the other side of the substrate 13.
