Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cell manufacturing equipment, in particular to a mask cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] In the process of photovoltaic cell manufacturing, the proximity exposure process is an important manufacturing step, which relies on the mask to filter the light and then realize the patterning of the cell. However, during the long-term use of the mask, dust is easily deposited on its surface, and there will be colloid residues during the patterning process, which may affect the accuracy of the patterning. Therefore, it is very important to clean the mask surface regularly.
[0003] Although the mask cleaning devices currently on the market can solve the cleaning problem to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings. First, many devices use ultrasonic waves to assist in cleaning. However, due to the high frequency of ultrasonic waves, there is a risk of probabilistic damage to the mask. Secondly, most cleaning devices only support single-sided cleaning, which requires frequent flipping during the cleaning process. This not only increases the complexity of the process and reduces the cleaning efficiency, but also may cause damage to the mask during the flipping process. In addition, the existing cleaning process is usually more complicated and requires the configuration of multiple pipelines, making the structure of the cleaning device cumbersome and costly. At the same time, the way the mask is fixed is also a technical problem. Inappropriate fixing methods can easily cause bumps and damage to the mask during the cleaning process.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0049] The following is based on the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.10 , three embodiments are used to introduce the mask cleaning device provided by the utility model.
[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] Specifically, in the first embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the mask cleaning device mainly includes a hanger 1, a cleaning mechanism and a transfer mechanism. The hanger 1 is used to detachably fix the mask. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank and a drying tank, wherein the cleaning tank includes at least a first cleaning tank 21, a second cleaning tank 22 and a third cleaning tank 23. The first cleaning tank 21 is used for alkali cleaning of the mask, the second cleaning tank 22 is used for spray cleaning and immersion cleaning of the mask, the third cleaning tank 23 is used for discharge cleaning of the mask, and the drying tank 24 is used for drying the mask, and each tank body undertakes different tasks. The transfer mechanism is used to drive the hanger 1 to perform lifting and lateral movements and reach a preset position, so that the mask can enter the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22, the third cleaning tank 23 and the drying tank 24 in turn for processing.
[0052] In a specific implementation, the mask is first fixed in the cleaning device by the hanger 1. The design of the hanger 1 should ensure that the mask can be firmly clamped while avoiding damage to it. Then, under the control of the transfer mechanism, the mask will be sent to the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22, the third cleaning tank 23 and the drying tank 24 for processing.
[0053] The mask cleaning device makes the loading, unloading and transfer process of the mask faster and more accurate, thereby reducing the time and error of manual operation and improving the efficiency of the overall cleaning process. At the same time, the use of alkaline cleaning, cleaning and drying avoids the use of ultrasonic cleaning and reduces the possibility of damage to the mask during the cleaning process. The cleaning process is carried out in the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22, the third cleaning tank 23 and the drying tank 24 in order, avoiding the complex setting of the pipeline, which can greatly simplify the structure of the cleaning device and reduce the cost of the cleaning device.
[0054] The first cleaning tank 21 is mainly used for alkali washing of the mask to remove stubborn stains and colloid residues on its surface. In order to achieve this purpose, a first nozzle 211 and a first liquid level sensor 212 are provided in the first cleaning tank 21. When the mask is placed in the first cleaning tank 21, at least one first nozzle 211 is provided on both sides of the mask. The first nozzle 211 can spray alkali washing solution (containing sodium hydroxide) toward the mask from both sides of the mask to ensure that the alkali washing solution can spray both sides of the mask at the same time. At the same time, as the liquid level of the alkali washing solution in the first cleaning tank 21 gradually increases, both sides of the mask can also be immersed and cleaned. At the same time, the first liquid level sensor 212 is used to monitor the liquid level of the alkali washing solution in the first cleaning tank 21 in real time to ensure the smooth progress of the cleaning process and avoid the overflow of the alkali washing solution.
[0055] For example, in the first cleaning tank 21, four first nozzles 211 are arranged on each side of the mask, and the four first nozzles 211 can spray the alkaline cleaning solution evenly and fully to both sides of the mask at the same time to achieve alkaline cleaning, effectively removing the colloid and other stubborn stains on the mask. At the same time, the immersion method allows the alkaline cleaning solution to have enough time to react with the stains, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.
[0056] After the alkali cleaning is completed, the mask will be sent to the second cleaning tank 22 for further cleaning. Similar to the first cleaning tank 21, a second nozzle 221 and a second liquid level sensor 222 are also provided in the second cleaning tank 22. When the mask is placed in the second cleaning tank 22, at least one second nozzle 221 is provided on both sides of the mask. The second nozzle 221 can spray the cleaning liquid toward the mask from both sides of the mask, thereby spraying and cleaning both sides of the mask at the same time. The cleaning liquid uses pure water or a specific cleaning agent, and the cleaning liquid can accumulate in the second cleaning tank 22 to soak and clean the mask. Through spray cleaning and soaking cleaning, the alkali solution and stains remaining on the surface of the mask can be quickly washed away in the second cleaning tank 22. Similar to the first liquid level sensor 212, the second liquid level sensor 222 is used to monitor the liquid level in the second cleaning tank 22 in real time to ensure the smooth progress of the cleaning process and avoid overflow.
[0057] For example, in the second cleaning tank 22, four second nozzles 221 are arranged on each side of the mask, and the four second nozzles 221 can spray the cleaning liquid uniformly and fully to both sides of the mask at the same time, so that the cleaning liquid can evenly cover every corner of the mask to ensure the cleaning effect. At the same time, the immersion method allows the alkaline cleaning liquid remaining on the mask surface and the cleaned stains to be fully separated from the mask surface.
[0058] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the first cleaning tank 21 and the second cleaning tank 22 are provided with a reflux system. The reflux system connected to the first cleaning tank 21 can collect and store the used alkaline washing liquid, and can input the stored alkaline washing liquid into the first nozzle 211 again to realize the reflux and reuse of the alkaline washing liquid. Similarly, the reflux system connected to the second cleaning tank 22 can collect and store the used cleaning liquid, and can input the stored cleaning liquid into the second nozzle 221 again to realize the reflux and reuse of the cleaning liquid.
[0059] Next is the third cleaning tank 23, which mainly performs discharge cleaning. The third cleaning tank 23 is provided with a third nozzle 231, which will spray pure water from both sides of the mask to both sides of the mask at a flow rate greater than the second nozzle 221. In this process, pure water will be sprayed directly onto the mask and then flow away without being reused. Compared with immersion cleaning, discharge cleaning can ensure that fresh water is used during cleaning to avoid secondary contamination.
[0060] Finally, there is a drying tank 24, in which at least two air cutting air knives 241 are arranged. These air cutting air knives 241 can blow air from both sides of the mask toward the mask, quickly and evenly removing moisture from the surface of both sides. In order to further improve the efficiency, a heater is also provided at the air outlet of the air cutting air knife 241 to heat the air flow. In this way, not only can the drying speed be accelerated, but also the generation of problems such as watermarks can be avoided.
[0061] Exemplarily, after the discharge cleaning, the mask is moved to the drying tank 24 for drying. The drying tank 24 uses an air-cutting air knife 241 for drying. A heater is provided at the front end of the air knife, which can generate hot air to quickly dry the moisture on the surface of the mask. The drying temperature is controlled between 30°C and 50°C. This temperature range can ensure that the moisture is evaporated quickly without causing thermal damage to the mask. At the same time, the design of the air-cutting air knife 241 also makes the drying process more uniform and efficient.
[0062] During the entire cleaning process, the transfer mechanism controls the movement of the hanger 1, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the mask between the various slots. This automated design greatly improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces the complexity and uncertainty of manual operation, and greatly facilitates the cleaning of both sides of the mask at the same time, which not only improves the cleaning efficiency but also simplifies the cleaning operation.
[0063] In addition, the mask cleaning device of the utility model also has the feature of open settings. This means that the user can adjust the operating parameters in each tank according to actual needs, such as cleaning time, temperature, spray pressure, etc., to meet the cleaning needs of different masks. This flexibility enables the device of the utility model to be widely used in various types of mask cleaning tasks.
[0064] In addition, in order to ensure the safety and stability of the cleaning process, the third cleaning tank 23 and the drying tank 24 are both provided with tank covers 25. These tank covers 25 have a through slot for the hanger 1 to enter, ensuring that no external pollutants enter during the cleaning and drying process, and also preventing the cleaning liquid from splashing during the discharge cleaning and drying, thereby ensuring a clean environment.
[0065] Optionally, the hanger 1 is also provided with a first positioning structure, and the cleaning mechanism is provided with a second positioning structure matching the first positioning structure. This detachable limiting connection mode not only facilitates the installation and removal of the mask, but also ensures the accuracy and stability of the cleaning process. Specifically, the first positioning structure includes a positioning member 11, and the second positioning structure includes a positioning seat 26 with a positioning groove. When the hanger 1 enters the cleaning mechanism, the positioning member 11 will be limitedly inserted into the positioning groove, thereby achieving accurate positioning and stable connection.
[0066] For example, in the present embodiment, a positioning member 11 is provided at both ends of the hanger 1 along the length direction of the mask. In the horizontal direction, the outer contour of the positioning member 11 is a triangle, and the inner contour of the positioning groove is a V-shape. When the positioning member 11 is inserted into the positioning groove, the hanger 1 can be fixed in a limited position to prevent it from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the mask during discharge cleaning and drying. Of course, depending on the different fixing methods of the mask, in some other embodiments, the positioning member 11 can also be provided at one or both ends of the hanger 1 along the width direction of the mask. This is not specifically limited in the present invention, as long as it can achieve the effect of limiting and fixing.
[0067] Embodiment 2
[0068] In the second embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the mask cleaning device also includes a hanger 1, a cleaning mechanism and a transfer mechanism. The hanger 1 is used to detachably fix the mask. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank and a drying tank, wherein the cleaning tank includes at least a first cleaning tank 21 and a second cleaning tank 22. The first cleaning tank 21 is used for alkali cleaning of the mask, the second cleaning tank 22 is used to clean the mask by at least one of spray cleaning, immersion cleaning and discharge cleaning, and the drying tank 24 is similar to that in the first embodiment, and is also used to dry the mask and has the same structure. The transfer mechanism is used to drive the hanger 1 to perform lifting and lateral movements and reach a preset position, so that the mask can enter the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22 and the drying tank 24 in turn for processing.
[0069] In a specific implementation, the mask is first fixed in the cleaning device by the hanger 1. The design of the hanger 1 should ensure that the mask can be firmly clamped while avoiding damage to it. Then, under the control of the transfer mechanism, the mask will be sent to the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22 and the drying tank 24 for processing.
[0070] The mask cleaning device in this embodiment also makes the loading, unloading and transfer process of the mask faster and more accurate, thereby reducing the time and error of manual operation and improving the efficiency of the overall cleaning process. At the same time, the use of alkaline cleaning, cleaning and drying avoids the use of ultrasonic cleaning, reducing the possibility of damage to the mask during the cleaning process. The cleaning process is carried out in the first cleaning tank 21, the second cleaning tank 22 and the drying tank 24 in order, avoiding the complex setting of the pipeline, which can greatly simplify the structure of the cleaning device and reduce the cost of the cleaning device.
[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first cleaning tank 21 and the second cleaning tank 22 are also provided with a reflux system. Taking the reflux system connected to the second cleaning tank 22 as an example, Figure 6 As shown, the reflux system includes a cleaning liquid temporary storage tank 31, a first recovery pipe 32 and a reflux pipe 33 connected to the second cleaning tank 22. The first recovery pipe 32 is used to flow the cleaning liquid in the second cleaning tank 22 into the cleaning liquid temporary storage tank 31, and the reflux pipe 33 is used to flow the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid temporary storage tank 31 into the second cleaning tank 22. Specifically, the reflux system can be driven and controlled by a pump and a valve to determine whether the cleaning liquid flows. Since the pump and the valve are common parts, they will not be described in detail in the present invention.
[0072] Furthermore, the second cleaning tank 22 also includes a drain pipe for discharging the cleaning liquid, and the drain pipe is also provided with a switch valve. The second cleaning tank 22 can work in the first cleaning state and the second cleaning state. Among them, in the first cleaning state, the valves on the first recovery pipe 32 and the reflux pipe 33 are both open, and the valve on the drain pipe is closed, and the cleaning liquid circulates between the second cleaning tank 22 and the cleaning liquid temporary storage tank 31. In the second cleaning state, the valves on the first recovery pipe 32 and the reflux pipe 33 are both closed, and the valve on the drain pipe is opened, and the cleaning liquid is directly discharged after being used in the second cleaning tank 22 without being reused.
[0073] Embodiment 3
[0074] In the third embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the mask cleaning device also includes a hanger 1, a cleaning mechanism and a transfer mechanism. The hanger 1 is used to detachably fix the mask. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank and a drying tank, wherein the cleaning tank at least includes a first cleaning tank 21, and the first cleaning tank 21 is used to clean the mask by alkaline cleaning and at least one of spray cleaning, immersion cleaning and discharge cleaning.

The transfer mechanism is used to drive the hanger 1 to perform lifting and lateral movements and reach a preset position, so that the mask can enter the first cleaning tank 21 and the drying tank 24 in turn for processing.
[0075] In a specific implementation, the mask is first fixed in the cleaning device by the hanger 1. The design of the hanger 1 should ensure that the mask can be firmly clamped while avoiding damage to it. Then, under the control of the transfer mechanism, the mask will be sent to the first cleaning tank 21 and the drying tank 24 for processing.
[0076] The mask cleaning device in this embodiment also makes the loading and unloading and transfer process of the mask faster and more accurate, thereby reducing the time and error of manual operation and improving the efficiency of the overall cleaning process. At the same time, the use of alkaline cleaning, cleaning and drying avoids the use of ultrasonic cleaning, reducing the possibility of damage to the mask during the cleaning process. The cleaning process is carried out in the first cleaning tank 21 and the drying tank 24 in an orderly manner, avoiding the complex setting of the pipeline, which can greatly simplify the structure of the cleaning device and reduce the cost of the cleaning device.
