Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display panel processing, and particularly relates to a processing device and an inkjet printing system adapted to various feeding conditions. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing processes of existing OLED devices or QLED devices, an inkjet printing process has been adopted. Some functional materials can be processed by inkjet printing. For example, functional materials such as a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), and an emissive layer material (EML) can be processed by inkjet printing, and other functional layers that can be inkjet printed are equally applicable. That is, the ink of the functional layer material is printed onto a substrate by inkjet printing.

[0003] Regarding various factors affecting the efficiency of OLED devices, the film formation uniformity of each functional layer material is an important consideration. After printing and processing, various auxiliary devices are required to perform steps such as drying and baking the substrate to dry the functional liquid and form a film.

[0004] Generally, for the convenience of transporting the substrate, a plurality of ejector pins are arranged in the auxiliary device, and the ejector pins are used to support the substrate to lift the substrate, so as to facilitate the manipulator to support the substrate from below the substrate. During actual substrate processing, the carrier plate in the auxiliary device rises relative to the ejector pins to uniformly support the substrate by using the carrier plate.

[0005] In related technologies, in an inkjet processing system, various processing devices are respectively integrated at different stations, and the substrate flows through a plurality of stations in sequence to gradually form a film. The substrate is divided into a display area and a non-display area, and the ejector pins need to avoid the display area to support the substrate. To avoid affecting the film formation quality in the display area. Generally, referring to Figure 1 , a plurality of ejector pins 132 are distributed at the edge position of the substrate A, and the plurality of ejector pins 132 enclose a rectangular shape to support the substrate A while avoiding the display area.

[0006] Since the position of the display area of the substrate is determined, when the substrate enters the processing device in a fixed and determined feeding direction, for example, when the substrate moves in its width direction for feeding, the distribution form of the ejector pins is determined. However, due to process changes, the substrate may change its placement direction in the previous process. When the substrate enters the next processing device for processing, it needs to be turned and then sent to the processing device to correspond to the position of the ejector pins in the processing device. In this way, the processing cycle of the substrate is affected, and the processing efficiency is affected. Or, by changing the position of the ejector pins, the substrate can be directly supported and enter the processing device. However, the number of ejector pins is large, and the height consistency requirement is high. By changing the position of the ejector pins, the efficiency of changing the position of the ejector pins is low, and it is difficult to quickly meet the processing requirements of the substrate. Summary of the Invention

The plugging rod is vertically inserted into the plugging hole;

[0014] The plurality of plugging holes are circumferentially distributed with the axis of rotation of the support assembly as the center line. After the support assembly rotates, the plugging rod is adapted to be plugged and matched with another plugging hole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the steering mechanism includes:

[0016] Mounting base, the mounting base is mounted on the pushing end of the pushing mechanism;

[0017] Rotating disk, the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the mounting base, and the rotating disk rises to support the support assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, the steering mechanism further includes a limiting assembly, and the limiting assembly includes:

[0019] Two limiting seats, the limiting seats are mounted on the mounting base, the distances of the two limiting seats from the rotation axis of the rotating disk are the same, and the included angle between the connecting lines of the two limiting seats and the rotation axis of the rotating disk is the specified angle;

[0020] Limiting rod, the limiting rod is connected to the rotating disk, and the limiting rod is adapted to abut against the limiting seat as the rotating disk rotates.

[0021] In some embodiments, the processing device further includes a sliding assembly, and the sliding assembly includes:

[0022] Two first sliding rails, both of the two first sliding rails are mounted on the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity, the two first sliding rails are arranged at intervals, and the length directions of the two first sliding rails face the opening of the processing cavity;

[0023] Two rows of rollers, the rollers are mounted on the sliding plate, the axes of the rollers are vertical, a clamping ring groove is formed on the circumferential side surface of the rollers, the two rows of rollers respectively roll on the opposite side surfaces of the two first sliding rails, and the rollers are clamped with the first sliding rails through the clamping ring grooves.

[0024] In some embodiments, the receiving member includes two second sliding rails, one end of each second sliding rail extends into the processing cavity, and one end of each second sliding rail is inserted into one end of the first sliding rail;

[0025] The rollers are adapted to slide from the first sliding rail to the second sliding rail.

[0026] In some embodiments, the support assembly includes:

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a processing device adapted to various feeding conditions. Due to the arrangement of the commutation device and the sliding setting of the sliding plate, the steering of the support assembly is realized to adapt to the substrate entering the processing cavity from the length direction, width direction or inclined to the length direction and being supported by the support assembly, ensuring the support of the non-display area of the substrate and improving the adaptability to the feeding conditions of the substrate. There is no need to change the direction of the substrate to match the support assembly, optimizing the processing beat of the substrate and improving the processing efficiency of the substrate. Nor is it necessary to change the position of the ejector pins in the support assembly to match the placement direction of the substrate, saving the time for ejector pin replacement and calibration and improving the preparation efficiency before processing.

[0033] Specifically, when a batch of substrates are to be processed and the processing placement direction of the substrates is different from that of the previous batch of substrates, the sliding plate is driven to slide from the processing cavity onto the receiving member and then slide to the commutation station outside the processing cavity. At this time, the support assembly is brought to the commutation station. Since the support assembly is inserted and cooperated with the sliding plate, the support assembly does not displace relative to the sliding plate when the sliding plate moves horizontally. At the commutation station, the pushing mechanism drives the steering mechanism to rise to push the support assembly, and the support assembly rises relative to the sliding plate to separate from the sliding plate. Then, the steering mechanism is used to rotate the support assembly to adapt to the support of the substrate. That is, the adaptability to the feeding conditions of the substrate is improved. By rotating the support assembly to match the placement direction of the substrate, the preparation efficiency before processing is improved, and there is no need to turn the substrate before it enters the processing cavity during processing, optimizing the processing beat of the substrate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application provides a processing device and inkjet printing system that are adapted to a variety of feeding conditions. The supporting assembly is slid out of the processing chamber, rotated, and then placed back into the processing chamber to adapt to different placement requirements of the substrate, thereby improving the adaptability to the substrate feeding conditions, optimizing the substrate processing rhythm, and improving the efficiency of preparation before processing. The present application solves the technical problem in the related art that the support form in the processing device is difficult to cope with the feeding requirements of the substrate in different states, resulting in poor processing rhythm of the substrate and low efficiency of the preparation work before processing.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 A processing device adapted to various feeding conditions includes a processing device 1 and a reversing device 2. The processing device 1 is used to process a substrate, and the processing device 1 includes a curing device, a drying device, etc. The reversing device 2 is used to dock with the processing device 1 to receive a support assembly 13 inside the processing device 1, and to turn the support assembly 13 to adapt substrates with different placement directions to enter the processing device 1, to ensure that the substrate supports the non-display area of ​​the substrate, and to avoid damage to the substrate.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3, wherein, the processing device 1 includes a processing cavity 11, a sliding plate 12 and a support assembly 13. The processing cavity 11 is a sealed chamber, and an opening is provided on one side of the processing cavity 11 for the substrate to enter and exit. The sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 can slide out of the processing cavity 11 from the opening of the processing cavity 11. A door body 14 is arranged at the opening of the processing cavity 11, and the opening is opened and closed through the door body 14.

[0055] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the door body 14 is hinged to the processing cavity 11, and after the door body 14 rotates to open the opening of the processing cavity 11, the inner side surface of the door body 14 is parallel to the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity 11, and the inner side surface of the door body 14 is lower than or flush with the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity 11. Further, a plurality of support rods are fixed on the side surface of the opening of the processing cavity 11. After the door body 14 rotates to open the opening of the processing cavity 11, the outer side surface of the door body 14 abuts against the plurality of support rods, and the support rods support the door body 14.

[0056] With such a setting, the hinged arrangement of the door body 14 can completely open the opening of the processing cavity 11 to facilitate the entry and exit of the substrate, the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13.

[0057] Referring to Figures 3 - 5 , wherein, the sliding plate 12 is slidably arranged in the processing cavity 11, and the sliding direction of the sliding plate 12 is set towards the opening of the processing cavity 11. The support assembly 13 is supported by the sliding plate 12 and slides out of the processing cavity 11 together with the sliding plate 12. Among them, the support assembly 13 is used to support the substrate.

[0058] Specifically, the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 are inserted and matched in the vertical direction to limit the relative movement of the support assembly 13 and the sliding plate 12 in the horizontal direction. Therefore, when the support assembly 13 slides with the sliding plate 12, it is not easy to move relative to the sliding plate 12, improving the integrity of the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13.

[0059] With such a setting, when the support assembly 13 slides with the sliding plate 12, it is not easy to shake randomly, and the relative position of the support assembly 13 and the sliding plate 12 remains unchanged, so as to facilitate the determination of the position of the support assembly 13. After the support assembly 13 returns to the processing cavity 11 later, when the substrate is loaded onto the support assembly 13, it is ensured that the support assembly 13 supports the substrate at a specified position.

[0060] Referring to Figures 3 - 5 , wherein, the processing device 1 further includes a sliding assembly 16, and the sliding assembly 16 includes two first slide rails 161 and two rows of rollers 162. Through the cooperation of the rollers 162 and the first slide rails 161, the sliding plate 12 rolls in the processing cavity 11, and the sliding of the sliding plate 12 is smoother.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, both of the two first slide rails 161 are installed on the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity 11. The two first slide rails 161 are arranged at intervals, and the length directions of the two first slide rails 161 face the opening of the processing cavity 11. Convex strips for the rollers 162 to rollingly cooperate are provided on the opposite and facing side surfaces of the two first slide rails 161.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the roller 162 is installed on the sliding plate 12, and the axis of the roller 162 is vertical. By arranging the roller 162 horizontally, the installation height of the roller 162 is reduced, so that the height of the sliding plate 12 can be set lower conveniently, the space inside the processing cavity 11 can be saved, the atmosphere environment inside the processing cavity 11 can be controlled more easily, the processing quality can be improved, and the occupied space of the processing cavity 11 can be reduced.

[0063] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a clamping ring groove is formed on the circumferential side surface of the roller 162. Two rows of rollers 162 respectively roll on the opposite side surfaces of the two first slide rails 161. The roller 162 is clamped with the first slide rail 161 through the cooperation of the clamping ring groove and the convex strip, and the roller 162 rolls on the convex strip. The two rows of rollers 162 respectively cooperate with the two first slide rails 161, and the two rows of rollers 162 clamp the two first slide rails 161 in the middle, so as to support the roller 162 by the convex strips on the side surfaces of the first slide rails 161.

[0064] With such an arrangement, the horizontal installation of the roller 162 and the rolling cooperation between the roller 162 and the first slide rail 161 are realized, the installation height of the roller 162 is compressed, and the miniaturized design of the processing cavity 11 is facilitated. In addition, by rotating and reversing the support assembly 13 after sliding the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 out of the processing cavity 11, there is no need to reserve space for the rotation of the support assembly 13 inside the processing cavity 11, which also facilitates the miniaturized design of the processing cavity 11 and reduces the space inside the processing cavity 11.

[0065] Reference FIGS. 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, further, the processing device 1 further includes a locking assembly 18. The locking assembly 18 includes a locking seat 181 and a locking block 182. The locking seat 181 is fixed on the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity 11, and the locking block 182 is fixed on the support assembly 13. After the sliding plate 12 slides into the processing cavity 11, when the locking block 182 abuts against the locking seat 181 as the sliding plate 12 slides, it means that the sliding plate 12 slides in place. Thus, the abutting cooperation between the locking seat 181 and the locking block 182 is used to realize the positioning of the positions of the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 inside the processing cavity 11.

[0066] The locking block 182 and the locking seat 181 are fixed by bolts to limit the relative movement between the locking block 182 and the locking seat 181, so that the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 can be fixed in the processing cavity 11. During the loading and unloading of the substrate and the processing process, the support assembly 13 is not likely to slide, ensuring the processing quality. Preferably, multiple groups of locking assemblies 18 are provided.

[0067] Referring to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the support assembly 13 includes a support plate 131, a carrier plate 133, and a plurality of thimbles 132.

[0068] The support plate 131 is inserted into the sliding plate 12 in the vertical direction, and the pushing mechanism 22 is adapted to push up the steering mechanism 23 to push the support plate 131. The plurality of thimbles 132 are all vertically connected to the support plate 131, and the plurality of thimbles 132 are adapted to support the non-display area of the substrate. In this embodiment, the thimbles 132 are fixedly connected to the support plate 131 by threads. The carrier plate 133 is inserted into the support plate 131 in the vertical direction, and the plurality of thimbles 132 all pass through the carrier plate 133. The locking block 182 is installed on the support plate 131.

[0069] The carrier plate 133 can move up and down relative to the support plate 131 and the thimbles 132, and the top surface of the carrier plate 133 can rise to a height higher than that of the thimbles 132.

[0070] With such a setting, when loading and unloading the substrate, the top surface of the carrier plate 133 is lower than the top of the thimbles 132, and the plurality of thimbles 132 support the substrate, so that there is a gap between the substrate and the carrier plate 133, facilitating the use of a manipulator to support the substrate. When processing the substrate, the carrier plate 133 rises to a height higher than the thimbles 132. At this time, the carrier plate 133 supports the substrate, evenly supporting the substrate to ensure the processing quality and prevent the substrate from deforming.

[0071] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , further, the processing device 1 further includes a lifting mechanism 17. The lifting mechanism 17 is arranged outside the processing cavity 11, and the pushing end of the lifting mechanism 17 extends into the processing cavity 11 and pushes the carrier plate 133.

[0072] In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes for the driving end of the lifting mechanism 17 to pass through are formed in the support plate 131, and the driving end of the lifting mechanism 17 passes through the support and acts on the carrier plate 133. When the carrier plate 133 descends, the driving end of the lifting mechanism 17 descends, and the carrier plate 133 synchronously descends under the action of its own gravity and load. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 17 includes a cylinder, a screw mechanism, or a linear motor.

[0073] With such a setting, the main body of the lifting mechanism 17 is installed outside the processing cavity 11, thus saving the space inside the processing cavity 11 and facilitating the miniaturized design of the processing cavity 11. In addition, the driving end of the lifting mechanism 17 only pushes against the bearing plate 133 without connecting to the bearing plate 133, so as to facilitate the bearing plate 133 to slide out of the processing cavity 11 along with the sliding plate 12 without restricting the horizontal movement of the bearing plate 133.

[0074] Furthermore, the bearing plate 133 and the support plate 131 are in vertical plug-in fit through the cooperation of the guide wheel and the guide groove. Specifically, the guide wheel is rotatably connected to the support plate 131, and the guide groove is fixed to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 133. As the bearing plate 133 descends, the guide wheel extends into the guide groove. This is to prevent the bearing plate 133 and the support plate 131 from having relative displacement in the horizontal direction and avoid damaging the ejector pin 132.

[0075] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , wherein, the commutation device 2 is adapted to be installed at the opening of the processing cavity 11. When it is necessary to commutate the support assembly 13, the commutation device 2 is arranged at the opening of the processing cavity 11. When there is no need to turn the support assembly 13, the commutation device 2 is separated from the processing device 1 without affecting the operation of the processing device 1.

[0076] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , after the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 slide out of the processing cavity 11, they slide onto the commutation device 2, and after the commutation device 2 rotates the support assembly 13, the support assembly 13 is then slid back into the processing cavity. Therefore, it adapts to different placement requirements of the substrate and improves the adaptability to the substrate feeding conditions.

[0077] Refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 , specifically, the commutation device 2 includes a frame body 24 and a receiving member 21, a pushing mechanism 22 and a turning mechanism 23 connected to the frame body 24.

[0078] Among them, the receiving member 21 is fixed on the frame body 24, and a part of the receiving member 21 extends into the processing cavity 11. The sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 are adapted to slide out of the processing cavity 11 onto the receiving member 21 to the commutation station outside the processing cavity 11.

[0079] Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9, specifically, the receiving member 21 includes two second sliding rails. One end of the second sliding rail extends into the processing cavity 11, and one end of the second sliding rail is inserted into one end of the first sliding rail 161. Correspondingly, a rib is arranged on the side surface of the second sliding rail, and the roller 162 is adapted to slide from the first sliding rail 161 onto the second sliding rail. To slide the sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 out of the processing cavity 11.

[0080] Further, the end of the receiving member 21 is supported by the door body 14 and the inner bottom surface of the processing cavity 11 to improve the stability of the receiving member 21.

[0081] Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , preferably, the sliding plate 12 is connected with a plurality of clamping blocks 12b, and a plurality of mating blocks 21a are fixed on the receiving member 21. As the sliding plate 12 slides out of the processing cavity 11 and when the sliding plate 12 slides to the transposition station, the clamping blocks 12b are inserted and matched with the mating blocks 21a to limit the sliding of the sliding plate 12 and position the sliding plate 12. It should be noted that the insertion and mating tolerance of the clamping blocks 12b and the mating blocks 21a is used to prevent the clamping blocks 12b and the mating blocks 21a from being disengaged randomly.

[0082] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , wherein, both the pushing mechanism 22 and the steering mechanism 23 are arranged at the transposition station, and the pushing mechanism 22 pushes up the steering mechanism 23 at the transposition station. The rotating end of the steering mechanism 23 pushes against the support assembly 13, so that the support assembly 13 is disengaged from the connection with the sliding plate 12, and the support assembly 13 is driven to rotate by the steering mechanism 23.

[0083] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , specifically, the steering mechanism 23 is installed at the driving end of the pushing mechanism 22. The pushing mechanism 22 drives the steering mechanism 23 to rise. The rotating end of the steering mechanism 23 abuts against the support assembly 13 and pushes the support assembly 13 to rise. In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 23 pushes against the support plate 131.

[0084] Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , a through groove 12a is formed on the sliding plate 12, and the steering mechanism 23 is adapted to pass through the sliding plate 12 from the through groove 12a and abut against the middle of the support assembly 13. In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 23 passes through the sliding plate 12 and abuts against the support plate 131. The entire support assembly 13 is driven to rise by jacking up the support plate 131.

[0085] With such a setting, since the rotating end of the steering mechanism 23 jacks up the middle of the support assembly 13, the support assembly 13 is more stable after being jacked up and is not prone to skew. When driving the support assembly 13 to rotate subsequently, the support assembly 13 rotates more stably and is not prone to slipping off the steering mechanism 23, ensuring the rotation accuracy of the support assembly 13.

[0086] Referring to Figures 10 - 12 , specifically, the steering mechanism 23 includes a mounting seat 231 and a rotating disk 232. The mounting seat 231 is mounted on the pushing end of the pushing mechanism 22. The rotating disk 232 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 231, and the rotating disk 232 rises to support the support assembly 13. In this embodiment, the rotating disk 232 and the mounting seat 231 are rotatably connected through a bearing.

[0087] With such a setting, after jacking up the support assembly 13, by manually driving the support assembly 13 to rotate, the rotating disk 232 rotates together. The rotational connection between the rotating disk 232 and the mounting seat 231 supports the smoother rotation of the support assembly 13, realizing the position adjustment of the support assembly 13.

[0088] In other embodiments, the steering mechanism 23 includes a rotating cylinder or a servo motor.

[0089] Referring to Figures 10 - 12 , further, a rubber pad is fixed on the surface of the rotating disk 232 to increase the friction between the rotating disk 232 and the support assembly 13, reduce the possibility of relative movement between the rotating disk 232 and the support assembly 13, and also prevent the rotating disk 232 from damaging the support assembly 13.

[0090] Among them, the pushing mechanism 22 is fixed on the frame body 24. In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 22 includes a cylinder, a linear motor or a lead screw mechanism.

[0091] Referring to Figure 13 , among which, the processing device 1 further includes a plugging structure 15. The sliding plate 12 and the support assembly 13 are plugged and matched through the plugging structure 15. The plugging structure 15 includes at least one plugging rod 15a and a plurality of plugging holes 152. In this embodiment, two plugging rods 15a are provided. One of the plugging rod 15a and the plugging hole 152 is provided on the sliding plate 12, and the other of the plugging rod 15a and the plugging hole 152 is provided on the support assembly 13. The plugging rod 15a is vertically inserted into the plugging hole 152.

[0092] In this embodiment, the plugging rod 15a is fixed on the sliding plate 12, and the edges and corners of the top end surface of the plugging rod 15a are processed into an arc shape. The plugging hole 152 is opened on the support plate 131. This not only reduces the weight of the support plate 131, but also facilitates the assembly of the support plate 131 and the sliding plate 12, and is also convenient for subsequent maintenance of the plugging rod 15a.

[0093] Referring toFigure 13 , specifically, multiple insertion holes 152 are circumferentially distributed with the axis of rotation of the support assembly 13 as the center line. After the support assembly 13 rotates, the insertion rod 15a is adapted to be inserted and cooperate with another insertion hole 152. In this embodiment, as the support assembly 13 rises, after the support plate 131 releases the insertion fit with the sliding plate 12, after the support plate 131 rotates by a specified angle, the support plate 131 descends, and the insertion hole 152 on the support plate 131 still achieves an insertion fit with the insertion rod 15a on the sliding plate 12 to complete the steering of the support assembly 13.

[0094] With such a setting, after the support assembly 13 completes rotation, the support assembly 13 can still be inserted and cooperate with the sliding plate 12, that is, the relative position between the support assembly 13 and the sliding plate 12 is determined, which is convenient for positioning the position of the support assembly 13 by the position of the sliding plate 12, and it is convenient to send the adjusted support assembly 13 to a specified position in the processing cavity 11. In addition, after the adjusted support assembly 13 is inserted and cooperates with the sliding plate 12, when the support assembly 13 moves along with the sliding plate 12, there is no relative displacement with the sliding plate 12, ensuring the conveying stability of the support assembly 13.

[0095] In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the support assembly 13 includes 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 30 degrees.

[0096] Refer to Figure 12 , wherein, the steering mechanism 23 further includes a limiting component 233, and the limiting component 233 includes a limiting rod 2332 and two limiting seats 2331. The limiting seats 2331 are installed on the mounting seat 231, the distances of the two limiting seats 2331 from the axis of rotation of the rotating disc 232 are the same, and the included angle between the connecting lines of the two limiting seats 2331 and the axis of rotation of the rotating disc 232 is a specified angle. In this embodiment, the specified angle includes 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 30 degrees.

[0097] Refer to Figures 10 - 12 , the limiting rod 2332 is connected to the rotating disc 232, and the limiting rod 2332 is adapted to abut against the limiting seat 2331 as the rotating disc 232 rotates. The limiting rod 2332 rotates between the two limiting seats 2331, and by the abutment of the limiting rod 2332 and the limiting seat 2331, the rotation angle of the rotating disc 232 is determined, thereby positioning the rotation angle of the support assembly 13.

[0098] With such a setting, by using the cooperation of the limiting rod 2332 and the limiting seat 2331, in the form of mechanical alignment, the limiting rod 2332 abuts against one limiting seat 2331 and then rotates to abut against the other limiting seat 2331 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating disc 232, facilitating the quick rotation of the support assembly 13 by a specified angle and improving the adjustment efficiency of the support assembly 13.

[0099] Further, by changing the position of the limit seat 2331 and altering the included angle formed between the two limit seats 2331, positioning at various rotation angles can be achieved.

[0100] Referring to Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the transposition device further includes a plurality of shift rods 25. The frame body 24 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for the shift rods 25 to pass through, and the plurality of shift rods 25 are respectively inserted into the frame body 24 through the plurality of mounting holes. The shift rods 25 are adapted to abut against the opposite side surfaces of the support assembly 13.

[0101] With this arrangement, after the support assembly 13 completes the turning, the plurality of shift rods 25 respectively abut against the opposite side surfaces of the support assembly 13 to limit the random rotation of the support assembly 13, ensuring that the support assembly 13 is re-inserted and engaged with the sliding plate 12 during the descending process.

[0102] It should be noted that during the turning process of the support assembly 13, the shift rods 25 disengage from the frame body 24 to release the rotation restriction on the support assembly 13.

[0103] The embodiment of the present application provides a processing device adapted to various feeding conditions. Due to the arrangement of the commutation device 2 and the sliding setting of the sliding plate 12, the turning of the support assembly 13 is realized to adapt to the substrate entering the processing cavity 11 from the length direction, width direction, or inclined to the length direction and being supported by the support assembly 13, ensuring the support of the non-display area of the substrate and improving the adaptability to the feeding conditions of the substrate. There is no need to change the direction of the substrate to be paired with the support assembly 13, optimizing the processing rhythm of the substrate and improving the processing efficiency of the substrate. Nor is it necessary to change the position of the ejector pin 132 in the support assembly 13 to match the placement direction of the substrate, saving the time for replacing and calibrating the ejector pin 132 and improving the preparation efficiency before processing.

[0104] Specifically, when the processing placement direction of a batch of substrates is different from that of the previous batch of substrates before processing, the sliding plate 12 is driven to slide from the processing cavity 11 onto the receiving member 21 and then slide to the transposition station outside the processing cavity 11 on the receiving member 21. At this time, the support assembly 13 is brought to the transposition station. Since the support assembly 13 is inserted and engaged with the sliding plate 12, when the sliding plate 12 moves horizontally, the support assembly 13 does not displace relative to the sliding plate 12. At the transposition station, the pushing mechanism 22 drives the turning mechanism 23 to rise to push the support assembly 13, and the support assembly 13 rises relative to the sliding plate 12 to separate from the sliding plate 12. Then, the turning mechanism 23 is used to turn the support assembly 13 to adapt to the support of the substrate. That is, the adaptability to the feeding conditions of the substrate is improved. By turning the support assembly 13 to match the placement direction of the substrate, the preparation efficiency before processing is improved, and the substrate does not need to be turned before entering the processing cavity 11 during processing, optimizing the processing rhythm of the substrate.
