[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] In order to solve the technical problem that when a glass substrate is loaded, its side edges will contact with the side teeth, causing the contact position to be easily worn and scratched, and the glass substrate is prone to quality problems, the utility model provides an etching carrying basket, so that when the glass substrate is loaded, the side tooth structure will not hinder the two sides of the glass substrate, avoiding the side teeth from contacting the side edges of the glass substrate, thereby preventing the side edges of the glass substrate from being worn and scratched. At the same time, the side tooth structure can limit and fix the glass substrate during the etching process, thereby effectively ensuring product quality.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 9 The etching carrying basket includes: a basket body 1 and two side panels 2. The interior of the basket body 1 forms a accommodating chamber with a top opening, and side openings are respectively opened on opposite sides of the basket body 1. The bottom of the accommodating chamber is provided with a bottom tooth structure 3 for placing a glass substrate 6; the two side panels 2 are respectively provided at the side openings on both sides of the basket body 1, and the bottom ends of the two side panels 2 are rotatably connected to the basket body 1, and the top ends are connected to the basket body 1 by a clamping structure 5. The inner sides of the side panels 2 are provided with side tooth structures 4 for connecting to the sides of the glass substrate 6.

[0031] In this device, a accommodating chamber with an open top is formed inside the basket body 1. A glass substrate 6 can be placed into the accommodating chamber through the opening and placed on the bottom tooth structure 3. The bottom tooth structure 3 limits the bottom of the glass substrate 6. The two side panels 2 are respectively provided at the side openings on both sides of the basket body 1. The bottom ends of the side panels 2 are rotatably connected to the basket body 1. The side openings can be opened or closed by rotating the side panels 2. When the side openings are open, the glass substrate 6 can be loaded and unloaded at the side openings and the top opening. During etching, the side panels 2 are rotated to close the side openings. The top ends of the side panels 2 are connected to the basket body 1 via the clamping structure 5, so that the side tooth structures 4 on the side panels 2 can limit and fix the glass substrate 6 on both sides of the glass substrate 6.

[0032] When the glass substrate 6 is placed, the side tooth structure 4 will not obstruct the two sides of the glass substrate 6, thereby preventing the side teeth from contacting the side edges of the glass substrate 6, thereby preventing the side edges of the glass substrate 6 from being worn and scratched. At the same time, the side tooth structure 4 can limit and fix the glass substrate 6 during the etching process of the glass substrate 6, thereby effectively ensuring product quality.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The basket body 1 is provided in a U-shaped structure, which consists of a bottom plate 11 and two vertical plates 12. The two vertical plates 12 are arranged side by side, and a side opening is formed between the two sides of the two vertical plates 12. The bottom ends of the two vertical plates 12 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the bottom plate 11 respectively.

[0034] In order to achieve the fixation of glass substrates 6 of various specifications, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, a first slide groove is opened on one side of the bottom plate 11, and the first slide plate 13 is partially arranged inside the first slide groove and is slidably connected to the bottom plate 11 through the first slide groove. A second slide groove is opened on one side of each of the two vertical plates 12, and the second slide plate 14 is partially arranged inside the second slide groove and is slidably connected to the vertical plate 12 through the second slide groove, wherein the first slide groove and the second slide groove are arranged on the same side, the bottom end of one of the side plates 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11, and the two sides of the top are respectively connected by clamping with the vertical plates 12, and the bottom end of the other side plate 2 is rotatably connected to the first slide plate 13, and the two sides of the top are respectively connected by clamping with the second slide plate 14.

[0035] During implementation, by adjusting the sliding positions of the first slide 13 and the second slide 14, the distance between the two side plates 2 can be adjusted accordingly, so that the side plates 2 can limit and fix the two sides of glass substrates 6 of different specifications, and its applicability is wider.

[0036] In order to ensure the stability of the two side plates 2 after position adjustment, please refer to Figure 5 A bolt 23 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the two vertical plates 12. When adjusting the position of the side plate 2, the bolt 23 can be loosened so that one end of the bolt 23 is away from the second slide plate 14. At this time, the second slide plate 14 can be slid to adjust the position of the second slide plate 14. After the position of the second slide plate 14 is adjusted, the bolt 23 can be tightened so that the end of the bolt 23 is pressed against the second slide plate 14 to fix the second slide plate 14, thereby fixing the side plate 2 connected to the second slide plate 14.

[0037] In order to facilitate the etching liquid to etch the glass substrate 6 through the basket, in this embodiment, a plurality of liquid holes 21 are opened on the vertical plate 12 and the side plate 2, so that the etching liquid can flow through the basket body 1 and the liquid pool through the liquid holes 21.

[0038] In order to realize the snap fit between the side panels 2 and the basket body 1, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, pressing grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the top of the side panel 2, and a snap-fit ​​structure 5 is provided in each pressing groove 22 to cooperate with the side panel 2 and the second slide 14 to fix the two ends of the top of the side panel 2 to improve the stability of the side panel 2.

[0039] Specifically, the clamping structure 5 includes a spring 51 and a pressing block 52, the spring 51 is built into the pressing groove 22, and one end of the spring 51 is connected to the inner wall of the pressing groove 22, and the other end is connected to the pressing block 52, and the pressing block 52 is slidably connected to the pressing groove 22; each of the vertical plates 12 and each of the second slide plates 14 is provided with a clamping plate 15 on one side corresponding to the clamping structure 5, and a clamping hole 151 is provided on the clamping plate 15, and the clamping hole 151 is used to accommodate the pressing block 52 when the pressing block 52 protrudes from the pressing groove 22, so as to lock the side panel 2 and keep the side panel 2 stable; when the pressing block 52 is pressed, the pressing block 52 can be disengaged from the clamping hole 151, and at this time the top of the side panel 2 can be rotated downward.

[0040] When loading and unloading the glass substrate 6, the pressing block 52 can be pressed to disengage the pressing block 52 from the fixing hole 151 and enter the inside of the pressing groove 22. At this time, the restriction on the pressing block 52 is cancelled, and the top of the side plate 2 can be rotated downward to open the side opening. At this time, the glass substrate 6 can be loaded and unloaded at the side opening and the top opening; after loading and unloading are completed, the pressing block 52 can be pressed to disengage the pressing block 52. The top of the side panel 2 is rotated upward when the pressing block 52 contacts the fixing plate 15. When the side panel 2 is rotated to a suitable position, the pressing block 52 corresponds to the fixing hole 151. At this time, the pressing block 52 protrudes from the pressing groove 22 under the reset action of the spring 51, and partially enters the fixing hole 151. The fixing hole 151 limits the pressing block 52, thereby fixing the side panel 2.

[0041] In order to prevent the pressing block 52 from being separated from the pressing groove 22, please refer to Figure 7 , limiting blocks 53 are provided on both sides of the pressing block 52 near one end of the pressing groove 22, and limiting grooves 54 are provided on both sides of the groove wall of the pressing groove 22 at positions corresponding to the limiting blocks 53. The limiting blocks 53 are slidably arranged inside the limiting grooves 54. When the pressing block 52 slides in the pressing groove 22, the limiting blocks 53 slide correspondingly in the limiting grooves 54. The limiting grooves 54 are used to limit the limiting blocks 53 and the pressing block 52 to prevent the pressing block 52 from leaving the pressing groove 22, and at the same time limit the activity range of the pressing block 52.

[0042] In order to support the bottom and side of the glass substrate 6 during the etching operation, in this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 8 The bottom tooth structure 3 includes a plurality of first mounting bars 31, which are sequentially arranged along the length of the bottom plate 11 and fixed to the top surface of the bottom plate 11. A plurality of first positioning teeth 32 are spaced apart along the length of the top surface of each first mounting bar 31. A placement area for placing a glass substrate 6 is formed between two adjacent first positioning teeth 32, thereby securing the bottom of the glass substrate 6 through the multiple placement areas. The side tooth structure 4 includes a plurality of second mounting bars 41, which are sequentially arranged along the height of the side plates 2 and fixedly connected to the inner sides of the vertical plates 12. A plurality of second positioning teeth 42 are spaced apart along the length of the side surface of each second mounting bar 41 near the middle of the basket body 1. A side retaining area for connecting to the glass substrate 6 is formed between two adjacent second positioning teeth 42, thereby securing the side of the glass substrate 6 through the multiple side retaining areas.

[0043] When the side panel 2 is opened to place the glass substrate 6, the glass substrate 6 is only initially fixed by the bottom tooth structure 3. In order to ensure the stability of the glass substrate 6 during the initial fixation, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The height of the first positioning teeth 32 for clamping the edge of the glass substrate 6 is lengthened, that is, the height of the first positioning teeth 32 located at the end of the first mounting bar 31 is greater than the height of the other first positioning teeth 32. The higher first positioning teeth 32 increase the contact area with both sides of the glass substrate 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the glass substrate 6 during initial fixation.

[0044] Further, see Figure 9 The first positioning teeth 32 and the second positioning teeth 42 are both trapezoidal in structure. The cross-sectional areas of the first positioning teeth 32 and the second positioning teeth 42 gradually increase from the side close to the middle of the basket body 1 to the side away from the middle of the basket body 1, so that the widths of the side limiting area and the placement area gradually increase from the outside to the inside of the device to accommodate glass substrates 6 of different thicknesses.

[0045] Working principle: When loading and unloading the glass substrate 6, press the pressing block 52 to disengage the pressing block 52 from the fixing hole 151 and enter the inside of the pressing groove 22. At this time, the restriction on the pressing block 52 is cancelled, and the top of the side plate 2 can be rotated. The top of the side plate 2 is rotated downward to open the side opening. At this time, the glass substrate 6 can be loaded and unloaded at the side opening and the top opening, and the glass substrates 6 are placed one by one on the placement area between the two first positioning teeth 32. After loading and unloading, the pressing block 52 can be pressed to release the pressing block 52. 2 is separated from the fixing hole 151 and enters the pressing groove 22, and the top end of the side panel 2 is rotated upward. During the rotation, the pressing block 52 contacts the fixing plate 15 and releases it. After the side panel 2 is rotated so that the side edges of the glass substrate 6 are located in the side limit areas between the two second mounting bars 41, the pressing block 52 corresponds to the fixing hole 151. At this time, the pressing block 52 protrudes from the pressing groove 22 under the restoring action of the spring 51 and partially enters the fixing hole 151. The pressing block 52 is limited by the fixing hole 151, thereby achieving the fixation of the side panel 2.

[0046] The utility model is provided with a basket body 1 and two side panels 2, and the side openings can be opened or closed by rotating the side panels 2. When the side openings are open, the glass substrates 6 can be loaded and unloaded at the side openings and the top opening, making the loading and unloading of the glass substrates 6 convenient. During etching, the side panels 2 are rotated to close the side openings, and the top ends of the side panels 2 are connected to the basket body 1 by the clamping structures 5, so that the side tooth structures 4 on the side panels 2 can limit and fix the glass substrates 6 on both sides of the glass substrates 6. When the glass substrates 6 are placed, the side tooth structures 4 will not obstruct the sides of the glass substrates 6, avoiding contact between the side teeth and the side edges of the glass substrates 6, thereby preventing wear and scratches on the side edges of the glass substrates 6. At the same time, the side tooth structures 4 can limit and fix the glass substrates 6 during the etching process, thereby effectively ensuring product quality.
