The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the utility model. The various embodiments can be combined and referenced with each other under the premise of no contradiction.

[0053] During the production of flexible circuit boards, the wet process tank may be contaminated by foreign matter, which will lead to abnormal product quality. The general practice is to perform tank maintenance regularly. Figure 1 In the prior art, the tank body is maintained manually, and the tank body is divided into an inner tank 1' and an outer tank 2'. Some tank body corners at the bottom and the connection between the inner tank 1' and the outer tank 2' cannot be cleaned during manual flushing, which is easy to contaminate the tank liquid again.

[0054] The general tank cleaning and maintenance method is acid and alkali cleaning + personnel water pipe flushing. Specifically, it includes:

[0055] (1) First, drain the waste liquid in the tank and perform alkaline washing.

[0056] More specifically, you can first add half a tank of plasma water, then add an appropriate amount of NAOH and soak for 1 hour before draining it.

[0057] (2) Fill the tank with plasma water, soak for 30 minutes and then drain.

[0058] (3) Add half a tank of plasma water, then add an appropriate amount of H2SO4 and soak for 1 hour before draining;

[0059] (4) Employees manually use the water pipe to clean the tank wall with plasma water. After flushing, the tank maintenance is completed.

[0060] However, it is difficult to fully and thoroughly rinse the auxiliary tank, the connection position with the main tank, and the bottom area of ​​the main tank.

[0061] To this end, the utility model provides an automatic cleaning structure, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , a tank body 210 for wet process of flexible circuit boards, the automatic cleaning structure 100 includes a rotary spraying structure 1, a liquid inlet pipe 2, a liquid inlet electronic valve 3, a first spraying pump 4, and a booster pump 5. The rotary spraying structure 1 can be rotatably arranged and is used to extend into the tank body 210; one end of the liquid inlet pipe 2 is connected to the rotary spraying structure 1, and the other end is connected to an external water source; the liquid inlet electronic valve 3 is installed on the liquid inlet pipe 2; the first spraying pump 4 is installed on the liquid inlet pipe 2; the booster pump 5 is installed on the liquid inlet pipe 2 and is located between the first spraying pump 4 and the rotary spraying structure 1.

[0062] During operation, the rotary spraying structure 1 of the automatic cleaning structure 100 is installed in the tank body 210. Since the rotary spraying structure 1 of the automatic cleaning structure 100 can rotate, it can rotate and spray in the tank body 210, thereby achieving spraying in every corner of the tank body 210.

[0063] Specifically, it also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the liquid inlet electronic valve 3, the booster pump 5 and the first spray pump 4. When the controller controls the liquid inlet electronic valve 3, the booster pump 5 and the first spray pump 4 to turn on, the external water source is pumped out of the liquid inlet pipe 2 under the action of the first spray pump 4, and is pressurized by the booster pump, and enters the rotating spray structure 1, and the rotating spray structure 1 rotates to achieve spraying in each corner.

[0064] More specifically, after the tank 210 is cleaned with acid and alkali, the liquid inlet electronic valve 3, the booster pump 5, and the first spray pump 4 are controlled to be turned on, and the spray pressure is set to be greater than 2 kg / cm 2 ; Synchronously open the waste liquid drain pipe of the tank body 210 to discharge the waste water after spraying and flushing; the rotary spraying structure 1 performs rotary spraying, so that the tank body 210 is sprayed and cleaned without dead angles, and the spray cleaning setting time is greater than 10min.

[0065] The external water source may be a water tank filled with plasma water, or other spray cleaning solutions, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0066] In addition, the liquid inlet pipe 2 and the rotary spraying structure 1 can be, but are not limited to, made of a material resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, such as stainless steel, corrosion-resistant alloy, etc.

The rotary spray structure 1 may also include a nozzle structure 11 and a plurality of rotary nozzle structures 12. The nozzle structure 11 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 2; the plurality of rotary nozzle structures 12 are arranged at intervals on the nozzle structure 11 and are connected to the nozzle structure 11. The number of rotary nozzle structures 12 may be set according to the size and length of the tank body 210. In this embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent rotary nozzle structures 12 is H, H < 30m. In other embodiments, it may also be determined according to the spraying range of each rotary nozzle structure 12. The plurality of rotary nozzle structures 12 may be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the nozzle structure 11, may be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the nozzle structure 11, or may be a combination of the two schemes.

The rotating nozzle can cover a larger area by setting the nozzles 122 in different orientations. The high-pressure water flow enters the nozzle structure 11, and then enters the plurality of rotating nozzle structures 12 from the nozzle structure 11, and then enters the first nozzle 121 of each rotating nozzle structure 12, and then enters the corresponding plurality of nozzles 122 from the first nozzle 121, and the water flow is sprayed from the nozzles 122 to the area of ​​the sink that needs to be cleaned.

[0069] Furthermore, each nozzle 122 is provided with a plurality of injection ports 1221. One end of each nozzle 122 is fixedly arranged with the first nozzle 121, and the other end is arranged in an arc surface, and the plurality of injection ports 1221 are arranged on the arc surface. For example, two rotating nozzle structures 12 are arranged along the circumference at the same axial position of the nozzle structure 11, and the two rotating nozzle structures 12 can be arranged on the nozzle structure 11 in a radially symmetrical manner. Each rotating nozzle structure 12 includes eight nozzles 122, and the eight nozzles 122 are arranged on the first nozzle 121. The angles of the nozzles 122 are different, and each nozzle 122 covers a 30° angle area. Each nozzle 122 is provided with 5 water spray ports, so that the two rotating nozzle structures 12 arranged along the circumference at the same axial position of the nozzle structure 11 can cover the entire area.

[0070] In order to make each rotating nozzle structure 12 cover a larger area, the first nozzle 121 includes a first section 1211, a second section 1212, and a third section 1213 which are connected in sequence along the length direction. The first section 1211 and / or the third section 1213 are gradually widened toward the second section 1212, so that the multiple nozzles 122 arranged on the first nozzle 121 can cover a larger area.
