The basic process of the current glue coating and developing equipment is: washing, baking, cooling, glue coating, baking, cooling, exposure, developing, baking, cooling and testing.

[0003] Currently, the substrates used in manufacturing panels need to be baked before and after gluing, and they need to be cooled in a cooler after each baking. They also need to stay in the cooler for a certain period of time. Entering and exiting the cooler also increases the movement of the robot. In addition, the current gluing and developing equipment has many robot movements for taking and putting materials, which ultimately slows down the production rhythm and affects production capacity. Utility Model Content

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0031] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3The substrate glue coating and developing device provided by the utility model is described.

[0032] The substrate gluing and developing equipment comprises a cassette 8, a loading and unloading robot 9, a cleaning machine 10, a first baking machine 11, a substrate transporting and gluing equipment, a VCD drying box 12, a second baking machine 13, a first conveyor 14, an exposure machine 15, a marking machine 16, a developing machine 17, a third baking machine 18, a second conveyor 19 and an inspection machine 20 which are arranged in sequence. The outlet of the inspection machine 20 is connected to the loading and unloading robot 9, so that the part of the substrate gluing and developing equipment except the cassette 8 forms a ring loop. The substrate 100 is first grabbed by the loading and unloading robot 9 and taken to the cleaning machine 10 for cleaning, and then placed in the first baking machine 11 for baking. The baked substrate 100 is placed in the substrate handling and gluing equipment for transportation and gluing, and then the substrate 100 enters the VCD drying box 12 for drying. After the substrate 100 is dried, it enters the second baking machine 13 for baking again. The substrate 100 after the second baking is transported by the first conveyor 14 to the exposure machine 15 for exposure, and then marked by the marking machine 16, developed by the developing machine 17, and then baked by the third baking machine 18. Finally, it is supplied to the loading and unloading robot 9 after inspection by the inspection machine 20, and the loading and unloading robot 9 grabs the substrate 100 to the cartridge 8, wherein the cleaning machine 10, VCD drying box 12, exposure machine 15, marking machine 16, developing machine 17 and inspection machine 20 are all equipment in the prior art, and their specific structures are all in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0033] Furthermore, the loading and unloading robot 9 in this embodiment is a finished product in the prior art, and its specific structure is all prior art, which will not be described here. The loading and unloading robot 9 can clamp multiple substrates 100 at a time. In this embodiment, two substrates 100 can be clamped at a time by increasing the number of clamps (such as suction cups) in the loading and unloading robot 9, thereby reducing the movement of the loading and unloading robot 9 and improving the work rhythm of the entire substrate coating and developing equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, the first baking machine 11, the second baking machine 13 and the third baking machine 18 are all double-door baking machines, and the double-door baking machine is a device in the prior art. Its specific structure is the prior art and will not be repeated here. A transfer robot 21 is provided at each opening of the first baking machine 11, the second baking machine 13 and the third baking machine 18, that is, the single-door baking machine is equipped with one transfer robot 21, and the double-door baking machine is equipped with two transfer robots 21. The transfer robot 21 is a finished product in the prior art, and its specific structure is the prior art and will not be repeated here. The double-door mode of the double-door baking machine can realize that the first transfer robot 21 can directly pick up the substrate 100 and put it into the double-door baking machine for baking, and the other transfer robot 21 takes out the substrate 100 after baking and places it in the subsequent equipment for processing, reducing the movement of the transfer robot 21 and making the transfer of the substrate 100 more efficient.

[0035] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first baking machine 11 and the third baking machine 18 may also be single-door baking machines, that is, the first baking machine 11 and the third baking machine 18 may be single-door baking machines or double-door baking machines.

[0036] The substrate transporting and gluing equipment is intended to cool the substrate 100 while transporting the substrate 100, that is, the substrate 100 is transported immediately without cooling after baking, and the substrate 100 is cooled during the transport process, and then the substrate 100 is subjected to the gluing operation, thereby eliminating the time for cooling the substrate 100 at a fixed position, so as to speed up the production rhythm of the substrate 100 and improve the production capacity of the substrate 100. The substrate transporting and gluing equipment includes a transport mechanism 1, a gluing mechanism 6 and a cooling mechanism 7, wherein the gluing mechanism 6 is arranged above the transport mechanism 1, and the cooling mechanism 7 is located at the discharge end of the transport mechanism 1.

[0037] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying base 2 and a conveying carrier 5. A conveying platform 4 is horizontally arranged on the conveying base 2. Two conveying platforms 4 are arranged in parallel, and the conveying platforms 4 are made of marble. The marble material has greater hardness, good wear resistance and good working stability. A conveying guide rail 3 is arranged above each conveying platform 4. The conveying guide rail 3 is supported by the marble conveying platform 4 to prevent the conveying guide rail 3 from tilting and sinking.

[0038] The conveying carrier 5 is slidably connected to the conveying guide rail 3 , so that the conveying carrier 5 is slidably connected to the conveying base 2 . The conveying carrier 5 is any carrier in the prior art that can carry the substrate 100 . The specific structure is not limited. The conveying carrier 5 can carry the substrate 100 .

[0039] Furthermore, the conveying rail 3 is an air-floating rail, which can make the conveying carrier 5 float, so as to reduce the possibility of hard contact between the substrate 100 and other components during the conveying process, and play a role in protecting the substrate 100. In addition, the airflow continuously generated by the air-floating rail when working can have a certain cooling effect on the substrate 100.

[0040] Specifically, the cooling mechanism 7 includes a fan, which is disposed above the conveying base 2. A plurality of fans are disposed along the conveying direction of the substrate 100. The fans can be fixed to the conveying base 2 or the ground by connecting rods and other similar components, and the air outlet of the fan faces the substrate 100 on the conveying mechanism 1. In other embodiments, the cooling mechanism 7 can also be other mechanisms such as a cold air blower that can cool the substrate 100.

[0041] Based on the above, when the baked substrate 100 is conveyed forward by the conveying mechanism 1, the airflow of the fan flows toward the top of the substrate 100, thereby cooling the substrate 100. At the same time, the substrate 100 is also assisted in cooling by the airflow generated when the air flotation guide rail is working, and finally the substrate 100 in the conveying process is cooled, thereby speeding up the production rhythm of the substrate 100.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the glue coating mechanism 6 is arranged above the conveying base 2. The glue coating mechanism 6 is any mechanism in the prior art that can coat the substrate 100 with glue. The specific structure is the prior art and will not be described here. When the substrate 100 is conveyed to the bottom of the glue coating mechanism 6, the substrate 100 has been cooled at this time, and then the glue coating operation is performed on the substrate 100 by the glue coating mechanism 6, thereby speeding up the production rhythm of the substrate 100. In other embodiments, a glue coating machine independently arranged at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 1 can also be used to replace the glue coating mechanism 6. The specific form is not limited, as long as it can complete the glue coating operation on the substrate 100.

[0043] Optionally, the first conveyor 14 and the second conveyor 19 are any conveyor in the prior art that can convey the substrate 100, such as a belt conveyor, a chain conveyor, etc. In this embodiment, an air flotation conveyor is preferably used. The air flotation conveyor not only causes less wear on the substrate 100 during the conveying process, but the airflow generated when the air flotation conveyor is working can also assist in cooling the substrate 100.

[0044] Furthermore, a conveying cooling mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided above the first conveyor 14 and above the second conveyor 19. The conveying cooling mechanism is used to cool the substrate 100 conveyed by the first conveyor 14 and the second conveyor 19. The conveying cooling mechanism is any mechanism in the prior art that can cool the substrate 100, such as a fan, a cold air blower, etc. The substrate 100 after the second and third baking is cooled by the air flotation conveyor in combination with the conveying cooling mechanism.

[0045] Based on the above, by adjusting and improving the layout of the original substrate coating and developing equipment, the baked substrate 100 does not need to enter the cooling equipment for cooling, reducing the movement of the transfer robot 21, making the layout of the entire production line more reasonable, and at the same time speeding up the production rhythm of the substrate 100, which helps to improve the production capacity of the substrate 100.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
