[0029] As an embodiment of the present application, it also includes an etching mechanism, the etching mechanism is installed inside the shell 1, for etching treatment of the chip, the etching mechanism includes an etching cavity 9 formed in the shell 1, the etching cavity 9 is filled with etching liquid, a rectangular opening 15 is formed in the inner top of the etching cavity 9;

[0030] As an embodiment of the present application, it also includes a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is used for lifting the placing mechanism, the lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic telescopic rod 4 installed on the upper end of the horizontal plate 3, the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 penetrates through the horizontal plate 3 and is fixedly connected with the upper end of the first lifting plate 6, the upper end of the first lifting plate 6 is symmetrically fixedly connected with two guide rods 5, the upper ends of the two guide rods 5 commonly penetrate through the horizontal plate 3 and are slidingly connected;

[0031] As one of the embodiments of the present application, the liquid flow mechanism is used to improve the etching efficiency, and the liquid flow mechanism comprises a mounting frame 22 mounted on the lower end of the shell 1, a driving motor 23 mounted on the mounting frame 22, an output shaft of the driving motor 23 extending into the etching cavity 9, a reciprocating screw rod 27, an upper end of the reciprocating screw rod 27 extending to the outside, a rotating disc 29, a piston cylinder 26 fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell 1, a piston block 31 slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 26, a connecting rod 30 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating disc 29, and the other end of the connecting rod 30 rotatably connected to the left side of the piston block 31.

[0032] As one of the embodiments of the present application, the liquid flow mechanism comprises a mounting frame 22 mounted on the lower end of the shell 1, a driving motor 23 mounted on the mounting frame 22, an output shaft of the driving motor 23 extending into the etching cavity 9, a reciprocating screw rod 27, an upper end of the reciprocating screw rod 27 extending to the outside, a rotating disc 29, a piston cylinder 26 fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell 1, a piston block 31 slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 26, a connecting rod 30 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating disc 29, and the other end of the connecting rod 30 rotatably connected to the left side of the piston block 31.

[0033] As one of the embodiments of the present application, the reciprocating screw rod 27 is threadedly connected with a sliding block 20 in the etching cavity 9, the right side of the sliding block 20 is slidably connected with the right side wall of the etching cavity 9, and the left side of the sliding block 20 is fixedly connected with an annular electric heating wire 21.

[0034] In the present application, when the device is in the initial state, the second lifting plate 16 in the placing mechanism is located below the rectangular through hole 15 and seals the rectangular through hole 15 from below to prevent the heat in the etching cavity 9 from being lost.

[0035] The ultra-thin flexible electronic chip to be etched is placed in the placing box 18, and the multiple through holes 19 formed on the outer side of the placing box 18 facilitate the full contact of the etching liquid with the chip. Then, the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 in the lifting mechanism is started, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 extends downward to drive the first lifting plate 6 fixedly connected thereto to move downward. Since the first lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected with the second lifting plate 16 through the multiple connecting rods 7, the second lifting plate 16 will also move downward synchronously. During the downward movement, the second lifting plate 16 gradually moves away from the rectangular opening 15, and at the same time, the first lifting plate 6 gradually moves closer to the rectangular opening 15. When the first lifting plate 6 moves to seal the rectangular opening 15 from above, the action of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is stopped. At this time, the etching cavity 9 forms a relatively closed space, effectively avoiding the heat from overflowing from the rectangular opening 15, and reducing the waste of heat energy.

[0036] The driving motor 23 in the liquid flow mechanism is started, and the output shaft of the driving motor 23 starts to rotate to drive the reciprocating screw rod 27 connected thereto to rotate. The upper end of the reciprocating screw rod 27 extends to the outside and is provided with a rotating disc 29. The rotating disc 29 rotates synchronously with the reciprocating screw rod 27. The connecting rod 30 rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating disc 29 eccentrically is rotatably connected to the other end of the piston block 31 in the piston cylinder 26. With the rotation of the rotating disc 29, the connecting rod 30 drives the piston block 31 to slide left and right in the piston cylinder 26. By the cooperation of the first one-way valve 32 and the second one-way valve 28, the one-way flow paths of the etching cavity 9, the right side shunt cavity 13, the piston cylinder 26, the filter box 10, the left side shunt cavity 13 and the etching cavity 9 are formed. During the flow of the etching liquid, when the etching liquid passes through the filter box 10, the filter box 10 filters the impurities in the etching liquid, blocks the etching products, impurities and particulate matters in the filter box 10, keeps the etching liquid entering the etching cavity 9 relatively clean, avoids the problems of scratching and pollution of the chip surface caused by impurities, and ensures the etching quality.

[0037] When the etching liquid reaches the appropriate temperature and is in a state of continuous flow and filtration, the etching liquid fully contacts the chip through the through holes 19 on the outer side of the placing box 18, chemical reactions occur, and the chip is etched. Since the etching liquid is in a flowing state, it can continuously remove the etching products, so that the etching reaction continuously and efficiently proceeds, and the uniformity and efficiency of etching are improved. At the same time, when the reciprocating screw rod 27 rotates, the sliding block 20 connected therewith moves up and down in the etching cavity 9 (since the right side of the sliding block 20 is slidably connected with the right side wall of the etching cavity 9, the rotation of the sliding block 20 is limited), and the ring-shaped electric heating wire 21 moves up and down in the etching cavity 9 driven by the sliding block 20, so that the etching liquid is heated more uniformly, and the etching quality is further ensured.

[0038] When the chip etching is completed, the annular electric heating wire 21 and the driving motor 23 are turned off, and the heating and flow promotion of the etching liquid are stopped; then, the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is started, and the telescopic end is retracted upwards, driving the first lifting plate 6 to move upwards, and then driving the second lifting plate 16 and the placing box 18 to move upwards through the connecting rod 7; when the second lifting plate 16 moves to reseal the rectangular through hole 15 from below, the action of the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is stopped, and the equipment returns to the initial state; at this time, the etching completed ultra-thin flexible electronic chip can be taken out from the placing box 18, and the equipment is cleaned and maintained, so as to prepare for the next etching operation.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application and in the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular sequential or chronological order. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged, where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be carried out in a different order than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover not exclusively containing, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device comprising a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0040] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
