Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, in particular to a mask cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the modern 3C electronics industry, the processing techniques for producing textured mobile phone backplanes, flat-panel displays, and micro-nanostructures in integrated circuit boards are becoming increasingly critical. Mask exposure is one such technique. The mask used in mask exposure is typically a quartz glass plated with a chrome layer, and the desired pattern is created through an exposure and etching process. Exposure experiments cannot be performed if the mask is dirty, as the dirty marks will be transferred to the photoresist without any reservation. Therefore, cleaning dirty masks is crucial.
[0003] Chinese utility model CN220072615U discloses a mask cleaning device with a lifting cleaning structure. The principle is to rotate the threaded rod to bring two inclined blocks closer together. The inclined blocks will squeeze the support block to move upward, causing the support block to push the placement plate upward to place the mask. When the two inclined blocks move away from each other, the support plate moves downward to sink the mask into the cleaning liquid for immersion.
[0004] However, the existing device's method of squeezing the inclined block during use depends on the height of the inclined block's slope, resulting in a small range of vertical movement of the placement plate. This can result in the placement plate not being fully ejected from the cleaning fluid during actual use. Therefore, a cleaning device with a larger lifting range was designed to address this issue.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0030] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0031] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.
[0032] With the rapid development of the modern 3C electronics industry, the processing techniques for producing textured mobile phone backplanes, flat-panel displays, and micro-nanostructures in integrated circuit boards are becoming increasingly critical. Mask exposure is one such technique. The mask used in mask exposure is typically a quartz glass plated with a chrome layer, and the desired pattern is created through an exposure and etching process. Exposure experiments cannot be performed if the mask is dirty, as the dirty marks will be transferred to the photoresist without any reservation. Therefore, cleaning dirty masks is crucial.
[0033] In the prior art, by rotating a threaded rod to bring two inclined blocks closer together, the inclined blocks squeeze the support block upward, causing the support block to push the placement plate upward to place the mask. When the two inclined blocks move away, the support plate moves downward, submerging the mask in the cleaning solution. However, the existing device's method of squeezing the inclined blocks depends on the height of the inclined blocks, resulting in a small range of vertical movement of the placement plate. In actual use, the placement plate may not be fully ejected from the cleaning solution.
[0034] In order to solve the problems in the related art to a certain extent, the embodiment of the present application provides a mask cleaning device. After the mask is placed on the placement plate 12, the threaded rod 23 is rotated. Because the threaded rod 23 is provided with a reverse thread, and the bottom of the horizontal plate 24 is in contact with the bottom of the immersion box 11 to limit the horizontal plate 24 from rotating, the two horizontal plates 24 will be driven away when the threaded rod 23 is rotated. At this time, the connecting rod 25 at the top of the horizontal plate 24 will pull the placement plate 12 downward. At the same time, the slider 21 on the outer wall of the placement plate slides on the vertical rod 22 to stabilize the moving trajectory of the placement plate 12, sinking the mask into the cleaning liquid for immersion. The cleaning liquid will soak the impurities on the mask and separate it from the mask. Then, you only need to rotate the threaded rod 23 in the opposite direction to make the two horizontal plates 24 close to push the connecting rod 25 to rotate and push the placement plate 12 to move upward, so that the mask can be pushed out of the immersion liquid and then taken out. Rotating the threaded rod 23 also rotates the sprocket 43, which in turn rotates the other sprocket 43 through the chain 44, thereby rotating the rotating rod 41. This in turn rotates the fan blades 42 at one end, accelerating the flow of the cleaning liquid and washing away impurities on the mask surface, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0035] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0036] Combine Figures 1-4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a mask cleaning device, including: an immersion box 11 with a placement plate 12 arranged inside; a lifting assembly 2 is arranged inside the immersion box 11, and the lifting assembly 2 includes: a slider 21 fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the placement plate 12; the bottom end of the vertical rod 22 passes through the slider 21 and is connected to the inner wall of the immersion box 11; one end of the threaded rod 23 is inserted into the interior of the immersion box 11 and is rotatably connected to the immersion box 11; the horizontal plate 24 is penetrated by the threaded rod 23 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 23; the connecting rod 25 is rotatably arranged on the top of the horizontal plate 24, and the top end is rotatably connected to the placement plate 12.
[0037] Specifically, the threads on the surface of the threaded rod 23 are designed to be inversely spaced. The principle of immersion cleaning of the mask primarily utilizes the dissolution and physical removal of dirt by chemical solvents, thereby achieving cleaning. This process does not affect the threaded rod 23. The threaded rod 23 is connected to the immersion box 11 using a press-fit bearing, which not only ensures rotation but also provides a seal to prevent water leakage.
[0038] During use, after the mask is placed on the placement plate 12, the threaded rod 23 is rotated. Because the threaded rod 23 is provided with a reverse thread, and the bottom of the horizontal plate 24 fits with the bottom of the immersion box 11 to restrict the horizontal plate 24 from rotating, the two horizontal plates 24 will be driven away when the threaded rod 23 is rotated. At this time, the connecting rod 25 on the top of the horizontal plate 24 will pull the placement plate 12 downward. At the same time, the slider 21 on the outer wall of the placement plate slides on the vertical rod 22 to stabilize the movement trajectory of the placement plate 12, and the mask is sunk into the cleaning liquid for immersion. The cleaning liquid will soak the impurities on the mask and separate it from the mask. Then you only need to rotate the threaded rod 23 in the opposite direction to make the two horizontal plates 24 close together, push the connecting rod 25 to rotate and push the placement plate 12 to move upward, so that the mask can be pushed out of the immersion liquid and then taken out.
[0039] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 2 further includes: one end of a cross bar 26 passes through the cross plate 24 , and both ends of the cross bar 26 are connected to the inner side wall of the immersion box 11 .
[0040] During use, the design of the cross bar 26 can further stabilize the movement trajectory of the cross board 24, so that the cross board 24 can move stably.
[0041] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 2 further includes a knob 27 disposed at one end of the threaded rod 23 .
[0042] The design of the knob 27 is convenient for gripping and rotating during use, and the surface of the knob 27 is provided with grooves to increase friction during rotation.
[0043] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 2 further includes: a top plate 28 disposed on the top of the upright pole 22 .
[0044] The design of the top plate 28 can prevent the slider 21 from falling off the top of the vertical rod 22 when sliding on the vertical rod 22 during use.
[0045] In some embodiments, a clamping assembly 3 is provided on the placement plate 12, and the clamping assembly 3 includes: one end of a pull rod 31 passes through the outer wall of the placement plate 12; a spring 32 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod 31; a pull-twist 33 is provided at one end of the pull rod 31 and the spring 32; and a clamp 34 is provided at one end of the pull rod 31.
[0046] When placing the mask during use, the pull rod 31 can be driven to move by pulling the pull knob 33. One end of the pull rod 31 pulls the clamping plate 34 to move together and the spring 32 is stretched. The mask is placed inside the placement plate 12, the pull knob 33 is released, and the spring 32 is reset. The pull knob 33 is pulled closer to the placement plate 12, and the clamping plate 34 is pushed by the pull rod 31 to clamp the mask.
[0047] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 3 further includes a rubber pad 35 disposed on one side of the clamping plate 34 .
[0048] During use, the soft material of the rubber pad 35 can prevent damage to the mask when the mask is clamped.
[0049] In some embodiments, a rotating assembly 4 is provided on the immersion box 11, and the rotating assembly 4 includes: one end of a rotating rod 41 is inserted into the interior of the immersion box 11 and is rotatably connected to the immersion box 11; the fan blades 42 are arranged on the outer wall of the rotating rod 41; the sprocket 43 is arranged on the outer wall of the rotating rod 41 and the threaded rod 23; the chain 44 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sprocket 43 and engages with the sprocket 43.
[0050] When the threaded rod 23 is rotated, the sprocket 43 also rotates, which in turn drives the other sprocket 43 to rotate together through the chain 44, thereby rotating the rotating rod 41, which in turn drives the fan blade 42 at one end to accelerate the flow of the cleaning liquid, thereby washing away impurities on the surface of the mask and enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0051] In some embodiments, the portion of the placement plate 12 that faces the fan blades 42 is not provided with an outer plate.
[0052] During use, such a design allows the cleaning liquid to flow from the placement plate 12 and remove impurities that have fallen off the mask during the flow process, thereby increasing the cleaning effect.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification.
