BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model, the drawings required to be used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below.

[0019] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a mask plate transfer device capable of dust removal in an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic structural view of another perspective of a mask plate transfer device capable of dust removal in an embodiment of the present invention; Detailed implementation manners

[0021] To facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mask plate 20 transfer device facilitating dust removal includes a movable base 100, a storage box 200 and a dust removal member 300; the storage box 200 is arranged on the movable base 100, and an inlet end is arranged on one side surface of the storage box 200, a lifting door 210 is arranged on the inlet end, and a support and limit member 220 is arranged in the storage box 200, and the support and limit member 220 is used for supporting and limiting the mask plate 20; the dust removal member 300 is arranged on the storage box 200 and is located at the inlet end, and when the mask plate 20 passes through the inlet end, the dust removal member 300 is used for performing a dust removal operation on the mask plate 20.

[0023] It should be noted that taking the conversion of the mask plate 20 from the cleaning device to the exposure chamber as an example, after the mask plate 20 is cleaned, the lifting door 210 on the storage box 200 is opened so that the mask plate 20 can be smoothly transferred from the entrance end of the storage box 200 into the storage box 200 by the cleaning device manipulator. When the mask plate 20 passes through the entrance end, the dust removal member 300 at the entrance end performs a dust removal operation on the mask plate 20 to ensure the cleanliness of the mask plate 20 when it enters the storage box 200. When the mask plate 20 completely enters onto the support and limit member 220 in the storage box 200, the support and limit member 220 supports and limits the mask plate 20 to prevent the mask plate 20 from shaking and being damaged by impact during the transfer process. After the mask plate 20 enters the storage box 200, the lifting door 210 is closed. In this way, it can be ensured that the storage box 200 remains sealed at all times except when the mask plate 20 enters and exits, so as to prevent dust from entering the storage box 200 and contaminating the storage box 200, and further ensure the cleanliness of the mask plate 20. Then, the movable base 100 drives the storage box 200 to move to the exposure chamber. The lifting door 210 is opened again, and the corresponding device manipulator takes out the mask plate 20 in the storage box 200 from the entrance end. At this time, the mask plate 20 passing through the entrance end can be dusted again by the dust removal member 300 at the entrance end. After the mask plate 20 comes out, the lifting door 210 is closed again, so as to ensure the cleanliness inside the storage box 200. In this way, the risk of the mask plate 20 being contaminated by dust can be reduced during the transfer of the mask plate 20, the cleanliness of the mask plate 20 can be ensured, and the yield of the product can be improved. In this embodiment, a top cover 240 is provided on the top of the storage box 200, and the top of the storage box 200 is covered by the top cover 240 to prevent dust from falling in.

[0024] Preferably, rollers 110 are provided at the four corner ends of the movable base 100. In this way, the storage box 200 can be moved to any position by the movable base 100.

[0025] In one embodiment, a plurality of limit bumps 120 are provided on the top of the movable base 100. The limit bumps 120 are arranged around the storage box 200, and each limit bump 120 is respectively used to limit the storage box 200. In this way, through the limit bumps 120, the risks of the storage box 200 shaking or collapsing during the movement process can be avoided. Preferably, there are four limit bumps 120, and the four limit bumps 120 are respectively located at the four corner ends of the movable base 100.

[0026] In one embodiment, the lifting door 210 includes a lifting door body and a lifting driving member. The lifting door body is movably disposed on the storage box 200, and the lifting driving member is connected to the lifting door body. The lifting driving member is configured to drive the lifting door body to perform a lifting motion to close or open the entrance end of the storage box 200. In this way, when it is necessary to open the lifting door body, the lifting driving member drives the lifting door body to move relative to the storage box 200, so that the inside of the storage box 200 communicates with the outside; and when it is necessary to close the lifting door body, the lifting driving member is used again to make the lifting door body return to the position of the original closed state.

[0027] Further, a sliding groove 230 is provided on the side wall of the storage box 200 facing the lifting door body, and a sliding block is provided on one side of the lifting door body facing the storage box 200. The sliding block is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 230. In this way, through the sliding block and the sliding groove 230, the movement guiding and limiting of the lifting door body are realized, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the lifting door body. Preferably, the lifting driving member is a lifting cylinder. For example, the lifting cylinder can be installed on the storage box 200.

[0028] In one embodiment, the supporting and limiting member 220 includes four limiting support feet 221. The four limiting support feet 221 are respectively disposed in the storage box 200, and the four limiting support feet 221 are respectively used to perform a limiting operation on the four corner areas of the mask plate 20. In this way, the mask plate 20 is limited by the limiting support feet 221, so as to avoid the shaking of the mask plate 20 during the transfer process, and further avoid the problem of the mask plate 20 being damaged by bumping.

[0029] In one embodiment, preferably, the dust removing member 300 is a dust removing ion wind bar. The mask plate 20 is dusted by the dust removing ion wind bar to ensure the cleanliness of the mask plate 20. Preferably, two dust removing ion wind bars are provided, and the two dust removing ion wind bars are respectively located at the top and bottom of the entrance end to dust the top and bottom surfaces of the mask plate 20; and further ensure the cleanliness of the two side surfaces of the mask plate 20.

[0030] The above-described embodiments merely represent several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
