[0019] MAIN ELEMENT SYMBOL EXPLANATION

[0020]

[0021]

[0022] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] Please see Figs. 1 to 3The etching machine aluminum disc cleaning device in this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 100, a supporting mechanism 200, and a roller assembly. The supporting mechanism 200 is detachably connected to a disc cassette 300. The supporting mechanism 200 is used to place the disc cassette 300 into or remove it from the cleaning tank 100. The disc cassette 300 is used to support a plurality of aluminum discs 400. The supporting mechanism 200 includes a first connecting part 210 and a second connecting part 220. The first connecting part 210 is annular and adapted to the shape of the disc cassette 300. One side of the first connecting part 210 is connected to the second connecting part 220. When the first connecting part 210 and the disc cassette 300 are located inside the cleaning tank 100, the second connecting part 220 is partially placed outside the cleaning tank 100 to connect to an external drive mechanism. Preferably, several aluminum discs 400 are inserted into and placed in the film cassette 300 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The first connecting part 210 is in the shape of a square ring, and the second connecting part 220 includes two U-shaped rods and a connecting plate 230. The connecting plate 230 can increase the structural stability of the bearing mechanism 200. When the bearing mechanism 200 carries the film cassette 300 into the cleaning tank, a part of the U-shaped rod and the connecting plate 230 are located outside the cleaning tank 100. The connecting plate 230 can play a certain role in counterweight and balance. It can be understood that the position of the film cassette 300 can be easily operated through the bearing mechanism 200. While the first connecting part 210 fixes the film cassette 300, it does not affect the soaking process of the bottom of the film cassette 300, that is, it does not affect the soaking process of the aluminum discs 400 in the cleaning tank 100.

[0027] The roller assembly includes a first roller 111, a second roller 112, and an auxiliary roller 320. The first roller 111 and the second roller 112 are rotatably connected within the cleaning tank 100, so that when the tablet cassette 300 is placed in the cleaning tank 100, the first roller 111 and the second roller 112 abut against the aluminum disc 400. Both the first roller 111 and the second roller 112 are fitted with rubber sleeves. Both ends of the tablet cassette 300 are detachably connected to fixing seats 310. Both ends of the auxiliary roller 320 are rotatably connected to the fixing seats 310, and the sidewall of the auxiliary roller 320 abuts against the sidewall of the aluminum disc 400. Preferably, the first roller 111 and the second roller 112 are arranged opposite each other via a bearing seat, parallel to the horizontal plane, and located on both sides of the aluminum disc 400 when the aluminum disc 400 is immersed in the cleaning tank 100. The rubber sleeve is a fluororubber sleeve. When the disc cassette 300 is full of the aluminum disc 400, the fixing seat 310 can be connected to the disc cassette 300, so that the side wall of the auxiliary roller 320 is in close contact with the side wall of the aluminum disc 400. It can be understood that the top of the aluminum disc 400 is pressed by the auxiliary roller 320, and the bottom abuts against the first roller 111 and the second roller 112. This not only fixes the position of the aluminum disc 400 in the cleaning tank 100, but also facilitates the rotation of the aluminum disc 400 and maintains stability during rotation.

[0028] A motor 170 is mounted on the side wall of the cleaning tank 100. The output end of the motor 170 is connected to the first roller 111 and the second roller 112. A side brush 120 and several washing rollers 130 are detachably connected inside the cleaning tank 100, and the washing rollers 130 are evenly spaced. Preferably, a transmission cavity is provided inside the end of the cleaning tank 100 connected to the motor 170. One end of the first roller 111 and one end of the second roller 112 pass through the side wall of the cleaning tank 100 and are placed in the transmission cavity, and are respectively connected to gears. The output end of the motor 170 meshes with the gears on the first roller 111 and the second roller 112 via a transmission belt, so as to drive the first roller 111 and the second roller 112 to rotate. The friction of the rubber sleeve drives the aluminum disc 400 to rotate, facilitating the cleaning process. The aluminum disc 400 is brushed inside the tank 100, with both sides of the aluminum disc 400 contacting the washing rollers 130. The washing rollers 130 are rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 100 via PTFE screws, which facilitates disassembly and assembly. Understandably, the motor 170 can cause multiple aluminum discs 400 to rotate stably in the cleaning tank 100 simultaneously. The side walls of the aluminum disc 400 are brushed by the side brush 120, and both sides of the aluminum disc 400 are brushed by several washing rollers 130. The brushing process of the aluminum disc 400 is more efficient and the brushing is more thorough.

[0029] Several heating plates 150 are arranged on the side wall of the cleaning tank 100, and several ultrasonic transducers 160 are arranged at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100. Spray air pipes 140 are arranged on the two opposite inner side walls of the cleaning tank 100. Preferably, after the spray air pipes 140 spray DIW water, the ultrasonic transducers 160 are turned on for ultrasonic brushing. A drain valve is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 100. After the ultrasonic brushing is completed, the drain valve is opened, and the spray air pipes 140 continue to spray and brush. After brushing is completed, the spray air pipes 140 spray nitrogen gas, and the supporting mechanism 200 slowly raises the height. The moisture on the surface of the aluminum disc 400 is dried by the nitrogen gas. When the supporting mechanism 200 is raised to the position, the disc box 300 is manually disassembled to complete the brushing process. Understandably, the etching machine aluminum disk cleaning device can effectively prevent abnormalities in the etching machine process caused by inadequate or unclean cleaning of the aluminum disk 400, thereby reducing maintenance costs and improving product yield and production capacity.
