[0027] 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.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0029] In one aspect, the present application provides a cleaning and drying auxiliary tooling for assisting in cleaning and drying a workpiece. In this embodiment, the workpiece is a quartz tube. In other embodiments, the workpiece can also be other products. The following description uses a quartz tube as an example.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary tooling 100 includes a bearing seat 110, a bearing member 120 and a support assembly 130. The bearing member 120 is used to bear the quartz tube.

[0031] The support assembly 130 is connected to the support base 110 and the support member 120 , and includes a supporting state and a storage state. The support assembly 130 can switch between the supporting state and the storage state under the action of an external force.

[0032] When the support assembly 130 is in the supporting state, the support assembly 130 can prop up one end of the carrier 120 to move away from the carrier seat 110, and the other end of the carrier 120 abuts against the carrier seat 110; when the support assembly 130 is in the storage state, the carrier 120 is retracted into the carrier seat 110.

[0033] Before explaining the cleaning and drying process of the quartz tube, it is necessary to explain that the support base 110 is kept horizontal during the application process. The cleaning and drying process of the quartz tube is as follows:

[0034] First, the quartz tube is pickled. The support assembly 130 is switched to the support state, the carrier 120 is tilted, and the quartz tube is placed on the carrier 120 with the acid reagent inside, so as to be immersed in the pickling. After the pickling is completed, the acid reagent is discharged, and then the quartz tube is placed on the tilted carrier 120 and continued to be cleaned with deionized water. During the cleaning process, the support assembly 130 can be switched to the storage state, so that the carrier 120 is retracted to the carrier seat 110, that is, the quartz tube is switched to a horizontal state. After the deionized water cleaning is completed, the auxiliary tooling 100 is placed in the oven 200 (see Figure 3 ) is dried in the container. During the drying process, the carrier 120 and the quartz tube on the carrier 120 are kept in a horizontal state.

[0035] Using the auxiliary tooling 100, the quartz tube is first cleaned. The support assembly 130 is then switched to the supporting state, tilting the carrier 120. The quartz tube is placed on the carrier 120 and maintained tilted. After cleaning, it is dried. During the drying process, the support assembly 130 is switched to the storage state, maintaining the quartz tube in a horizontal position. This eliminates the need for multiple tooling pieces to support the quartz tube, effectively reducing costs.

[0036] Furthermore, the support base 110 defines a support slot 111, in which the support assembly 130 and the support member 120 are both disposed. Thus, when the support assembly 130 is in the supporting state, one end of the support member 120 abuts against the bottom of the support slot 111; when the support assembly 130 is in the retracted state, the support member 120 is retracted into the support slot 111.

[0037] In one embodiment, the auxiliary tooling 100 includes a plurality of carriers 120 and a plurality of support assemblies 130, and each support assembly 130 is connected to a corresponding carrier 120. In order to further improve the stability of the support, specifically Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, each carrier 120 may be connected to two sets of support components 130 , and the two sets of support components 130 are connected to two opposite surfaces of the carrier 120 .

[0038] As an example, the support base 110 is provided with a plurality of support slots 111, and the plurality of support members 120 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of support slots 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the support base 110 may also be provided with a single larger support slot 111, and the plurality of support assemblies 130 and the plurality of support members 120 may be disposed in the support slot 111.

[0039] In one embodiment, the support base 110 is further provided with a leakage hole 112. One end of the leakage hole 112 passes through the side of the support base 110 away from the support tank 111, and the other end passes through the bottom of the support tank 111, thereby draining the liquid in the support tank 111. It is understandable that during the cleaning process, the support tank 111 can receive liquid and then discharge the liquid to a preset position through the leakage hole 112. Similarly, if there are multiple support tanks 111, each support tank 111 is provided with a corresponding leakage hole 112. At the same time, in order to ensure that the liquid in the support tank 111 is emptied, the number of leakage holes 112 can be multiple.

[0040] In one embodiment, the support base 110 includes a main body 113 and two positioning parts 114. The main body 113 is provided with a supporting groove 111 and a leakage hole 112. The two positioning parts 114 are located at both ends of the main body 113 along the length direction of the supporting groove 111. Figure 3 As shown, when the support base 110 is placed in the oven 200 , the positioning portions 114 at both ends cooperate with the protrusions on the inner wall of the oven 200 to support the support base 110 .

[0041] Furthermore, in the depth direction of the bearing slot 111, that is, in the vertical direction in actual application, the positioning portion 114 and the surface of the main body 113 facing away from the bearing slot 111 are spaced apart, that is, the positioning portion 114 and the main body 113 are spaced apart at the ground surface. Preferably, the upper surface of the positioning portion 114 is flush with the upper surface of the main body 113.

[0042] In one embodiment, the support assembly 130 includes a first support rod 131 and a second support rod 132, the first support rod 131 is hinged to the bearing seat 110, the second support rod 132 is hinged to an end of the first support rod 131 away from the bearing seat 110, and the bearing member 120 is hinged to an end of the second support rod 132 away from the first support rod.

[0043] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132 constitute a connecting rod structure, and when the support assembly 130 is in a supporting state, the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132 are both arranged in the vertical direction, that is, located at the dead point of the connecting structure. At the same time, combined with the friction force between the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132, the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132 can be maintained in the current position without being subjected to external force.

[0044] Furthermore, the support assembly 130 also includes a friction structure, which is arranged at the connection between the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132 to increase the friction between the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132, thereby further increasing the stability of the connection structure when it is at the dead point. Similarly, it can be seen that the friction structure can also be arranged at the connection between the first support rod 131 and the bearing seat 110 and the second support rod 132 and the bearing member 120. Optionally, the friction structure can be a rubber structure, which is arranged at the connection between the two to increase the friction between the two. Of course, in other embodiments, a locking structure, such as a buckle structure, can also be provided at the connection between the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132 to limit the relative rotation of the first support rod 131 and the second support rod 132, so that the support assembly 130 remains in a supported state.

[0045] In one embodiment, the support member 120 includes a support rod 121 and a stopper 122. The stopper 122 is disposed at one end of the support rod 121 and is located on the side of the support rod 121 facing away from the support seat 110, i.e., on the upper surface of the support rod 121. The support assembly 130 is connected to the support rod 121. When the support assembly 130 is in a supporting state, one end of the support rod 121 provided with the stopper 122 abuts against the bottom of the support slot 111, while the other end is supported by the support assembly 130.

[0046] It can be understood that, assuming that the load-bearing rod 121 is divided into two parts along its length, the limit block 122 is set at the end of one of the parts, and the support assembly 130 is connected to the other part, that is, the connection between the support assembly 130 and the load-bearing rod 121 is preferably on the side of the center of the load-bearing rod 121 away from the limit block 122, to ensure that when the support assembly 130 supports the load-bearing rod 121, the end of the load-bearing rod 121 with the limit block 122 is located at the bottom.

[0047] Furthermore, a limiting groove 123 is provided on the side of the support rod 121 facing away from the support seat 110. The limiting groove 123 is used to place the quartz tube and limit the quartz tube to prevent it from falling off. Preferably, the limiting groove 123 is an arc-shaped groove. It is understood that in order to ensure that the support assembly 130 is in a horizontal state when the support assembly 130 is in the storage state, the support assembly 130 can be connected to the side of the support rod 121 adjacent to the limiting groove 123.

[0048] In summary, the auxiliary tool 100 for cleaning and drying provided in this application has at least the following advantages:

[0049] 1. The carrier 120 can carry the quartz tube at an angle or horizontally, so that the cleaning and drying of the quartz tube does not require multiple tooling, thus reducing costs;

[0050] 2. Each auxiliary tooling 100 can carry multiple quartz tubes, thereby achieving simultaneous cleaning and drying of multiple quartz tubes, thereby improving processing efficiency;

[0051] Regarding the auxiliary tooling 100 for cleaning and drying, it should also be noted that when used for cleaning and drying quartz tubes, the material of the auxiliary tooling 100 is polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0052] On the other hand, the present application also provides a processing system, which includes the auxiliary tooling 100 for cleaning and drying in the above embodiment.

[0053] Furthermore, the processing system further includes a processing device, which is used to process the workpiece on the auxiliary tooling 100. Optionally, the processing device is a cleaning device or an oven 200, which is not limited here.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
