[0044] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] The embodiment of the present invention provides a copper plate developing machine, including:

[0047] The housing 1 of the developing machine, which defines an accommodation cavity inside;

[0048] The rotating operation platform 2 is arranged in the accommodation cavity and is driven to rotate by a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is composed of a rotating motor and a driving shaft 3, and the driving shaft 3 is connected to the lower surface of the rotating operation platform 2; the copper plate 24 can be fixed on the rotating operation platform 2;

[0049] The spraying mechanism has an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 for spraying the developing solution or deionized water onto the copper plate 24.

[0050] In this embodiment, a liquid discharge port 5 communicating with the accommodation cavity is opened at the bottom of the housing 1 of the developing machine. An inclined plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodation cavity, and the lower end of the inclined plate 6 corresponds to the liquid discharge port 5. A baffle 7 is arranged near the inner side wall of the accommodation cavity, and the baffle 7 is used to drain the developing solution or deionized water to the upper surface of the inclined plate 6.

[0051] In this embodiment, the spraying mechanism includes:

[0052] A bracket 8, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the accommodation cavity;

[0053] A rotating frame 9 is rotatably arranged at the other end of the bracket 8. The ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 is arranged on the rotating frame 9, and the rotating frame 9 can rotate along the horizontal direction; the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 is communicated with the developing solution cylinder or the deionized water cylinder.

[0054] The rotating frame 9 can drive the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 to rotate 180° along the horizontal direction. When it is necessary to spray the developing solution or deionized water, the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 is rotated to directly above the copper plate 24. When performing the following drying step, the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 can be rotated to the side away from the copper plate 24, without affecting the blowing of the blower 10 and the lifting of the copper plate 24.

[0055] In this embodiment, it further includes:

[0056] A blower 10 is arranged at the top of the accommodation cavity, and its air outlet end faces the copper plate 24.

[0057] In this embodiment, it further includes:

[0058] A magnetic levitation base 11, which is made of a conductive material and electrically connected to a power source;

[0059] A permanent magnet disk 12 is arranged on the magnetic levitation base 11. When the magnetic levitation base 11 is powered on, the magnetic levitation base 11 generates an upward supporting magnetic force on the permanent magnet disk 12 and makes the permanent magnet disk 12 float above the magnetic levitation base 11; the copper plate 24 can be fixed on the permanent magnet disk 12;

[0060] The middle part of the rotating operation platform 2 is recessed downward to form a limiting cavity. When the magnetic levitation base 11 is powered off, the magnetic levitation base 11 and the permanent magnet disk 12 can be placed in the limiting cavity.

[0061] In this embodiment, a bionic nano mushroom array 13 made of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) material is arranged on the upper surface of the permanent magnet disk 12, and the bionic nano mushroom array 13 can adsorb on the lower surface of the copper plate 24.

[0062] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the magnetic levitation base 11 has a central region and an outer ring region. A plurality of Hall elements 14 are arranged circumferentially in the central region, and a plurality of energized electromagnets are arranged circumferentially in the outer ring region. The energized electromagnet includes a copper wire coil 15 and a plurality of magnet sheets 16. One side of the magnet sheet 16 is recessed inward to form a recess. The plurality of magnet sheets 16 are stacked in the up-and-down direction, and the copper wire coil 15 is arranged in the recesses of the plurality of magnet sheets 16. Among them, the Hall element 14 is used to adjust the magnitude of the energized current of the magnetic levitation base 11, and the energized electromagnet can provide a comprehensive and stable magnetic field to stably support the permanent magnet disk 12 and the copper plate 24.

[0063] In this embodiment, a plurality of rotors 17 are arranged on the outer side surface of the permanent magnet disk 12. When the permanent magnet disk 12 is levitated, the fan 10 can drive the permanent magnet disk 12 to rotate.

[0064] In this embodiment, a clamping mechanism is further included. The clamping mechanism includes:

[0065] A moving track 18 is opened on the upper surface of the rotary operation platform 2. There are a plurality of moving tracks 18 and they are arranged circumferentially along the limiting cavity (specifically four groups);

[0066] A horizontal telescopic mechanism 19 is arranged in the moving track 18;

[0067] A vertical telescopic mechanism 20 is arranged in the moving track 18 and is connected to the output end of the horizontal telescopic mechanism 19;

[0068] A clamping block 21 is made of silica gel material and is arranged on the output end of the vertical telescopic mechanism 20; the horizontal telescopic mechanism 19 can drive the clamping block 21 to approach or move away from the copper plate 24. When the clamping block 21 contacts the copper plate 24, the plurality of clamping blocks 21 clamp and fix the copper plate 24. A three-dimensional force sensor is arranged on the side of the clamping block 21 in contact with the copper plate 24, and the clamping block 21 and the rotor 17 are arranged at intervals.

[0069] In this embodiment, one side of the clamping block 21 corresponding to the copper plate 24 has an arc surface 22, and the arc surface 22 is recessed inward to form a right-angle clamping surface 23. The arc surface 22 can clamp the disc-shaped copper plate 24, and the right-angle clamping surface 23 can clamp the rectangular copper plate 24, improving the applicable range of the equipment.

[0070] The specific working process is as follows:

[0071] S1: Adsorb the copper plate 24 on the permanent magnet disk 12, start the horizontal telescopic mechanism 19, use the clamping block 21 to clamp the outer edge of the copper plate 24, and judge the clamping effect through the induction data fed back by the three-dimensional force sensor. When the induction data fed back by the three-dimensional force sensor reaches a stable state, confirm that the copper plate 24 is fixed by the clamping block 21.

[0072] S2: Rotate the operating platform 2, set the rotation speed to 300 rpm. The magnetic levitation base 11 and the permanent magnet disk 12 are limited by the limiting cavity. The copper plate 24 is fixed by the clamping block 21, and all structures rotate together. At the same time, spray the developer solution onto the upper surface of the copper plate 24 through the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4. After the developer solution is sprayed sufficiently, stop the rotation of the operating platform 2 and let it stand for development. The standing time is about 5 minutes.

[0073] S3: After the development is completed, rotate the operating platform 2, set the rotation speed to more than 2000 rpm. At the same time, spray deionized water onto the copper plate 24 through the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 to wash the developer solution and initially spin-dry the deionized water.

[0074] S4: After the deionized water is initially spin-dried, horizontally rotate the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 4 to the other side, stop the rotation of the operating platform 2, start the vertical telescopic mechanism 20. The clamping block 21 maintains the state of clamping the copper plate 24, and drives the copper plate 24 and the permanent magnet disk 12 to rise together to the preset levitation height. The magnetic levitation base 11 is powered on, and judge the force conditions of the copper plate 24 and the permanent magnet disk 12 according to the induction data fed back by the three-dimensional force sensor. When the force is stable, reset the clamping block 21 to the initial position. At this time, the permanent magnet disk 12 and the copper plate 24 are in a levitated state.

[0075] S5: Start the blower 10. The blower 10 conveys air to the copper plate 24 to dry the copper plate 24, and the wind speed is 7 - 8 m / s. The permanent magnet disk 12 starts to rotate under the coordinated action of the blower 10 and the rotor 17, and the copper plate 24 rotates together with the permanent magnet disk 12 to achieve rotary air-drying.

[0076] S6: After drying is completed, stop the blower 10, and the permanent magnet disk 12 and the copper plate 24 stop rotating. Through the coordinated action of the horizontal telescopic mechanism 19, the vertical telescopic mechanism 20 and the clamping block 21, move the permanent magnet disk 12 and the copper plate 24 to the initial position (the working process is similar to the foregoing and the principle is the same), and complete the development.

[0077] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0078] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
