[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a multifunctional rotary exposure machine fixture.

[0057] A multifunctional rotary exposure machine fixture includes a control box 1, a support plate 2, and a photomask 3, with the support plate 2 fixedly connected to the control box 1. It also includes: a support frame 4, mounted on and fixedly connected to the support plate 2; a support column 5, located within and fixedly connected to the support frame 4; a photomask 6, fixedly connected to the support column 5; a moving mechanism mounted on the support plate 2 for moving the photomask 3; a clamping mechanism located within the moving mechanism for clamping and fixing the photomask 3; a sliding groove 7 formed on the support plate 2; a sliding plate 8, located within and slidably connected to the sliding groove 7; a connecting groove 9 formed on the sliding plate 8; and a connecting block 10, located within and slidably connected to the connecting groove 9.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the moving mechanism includes: a moving frame 11, which is disposed on the support plate 2 and fixedly connected to the support plate 2; a moving motor 12, which is fixedly connected to the moving frame 11; a moving shaft 13, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the moving motor 12 and rotatably connected to the support plate 2; a first moving gear 14, which is fixedly connected to the moving shaft 13; and a second moving gear 15, which is fixedly connected to the moving shaft 13.

[0059] This configuration ensures that when the mobile motor 12 is running, it drives the mobile shaft 13, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the mobile motor 12, to rotate, causing the first mobile gear 14 and the second mobile gear 15, which are fixedly connected to the mobile shaft 13, to rotate.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the sliding plate 8 meshes with the first moving gear 14 and with the second moving gear 15.

[0061] This configuration allows the sliding plate 8, which meshes with the first moving gear 14 and the second moving gear 15, to slide within the sliding groove 7, thereby driving the photomask 3 to move into the exposure machine, enabling convenient movement and removal of the photomask 3.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes: a clamping groove 16, which is formed in the sliding plate 8; a clamping rod 17, which is disposed in the clamping groove 16 and fixedly connected to the sliding plate 8; a clamping sleeve 18, which is fixedly connected to the clamping rod 17 and slidably connected to the sliding plate 8; a clamping block 19, which is fixedly connected to the clamping sleeve 18; and a rotating component disposed on the clamping sleeve 18.

[0063] This configuration allows pressing the clamping block 19 to move it closer to the sliding plate 8, causing the clamping sleeve 18, which is fixedly connected to the clamping block 19, to slide on the clamping rod 17, thereby driving the rotating component to operate.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the rotating component includes: a rotating block 20, disposed on the clamping sleeve 18 and fixedly connected to the clamping sleeve 18; a rotating spring 21, one end of which is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 8 and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the rotating block 20; two first rotating shafts 22, which are symmetrically disposed on the rotating block 20 and fixedly connected to the rotating block 20; a rotating plate 23, which is rotatably connected to the first rotating shafts 22; a second rotating shaft 24, which is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 23; and a connecting component disposed on the sliding plate 8.

[0065] This configuration causes the rotating block 20, which is fixedly connected to the clamping sleeve 18, to move, thereby compressing the rotating spring 21, which is fixedly connected to the rotating block 20, generating elastic potential energy, which in turn drives the rotating plate 23, which is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 22, to rotate, thus driving the connecting components to run.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the connecting component includes: a connecting frame 25, which is disposed on the connecting block 10, fixedly connected to the connecting block 10, and fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 24; and a connecting plate 26, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block 10.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the sliding plate 8 has a support groove 27 for placing the photomask 3.

[0068] This configuration allows the connecting frame 25, which is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 24, to slide the connecting block 10 within the connecting groove 9, causing the connecting plate 26, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block 10, to move away from each other. Then, the photomask 3 is placed into the support groove 27, and the clamping block 19 is released, causing the rotating spring 21 to release its elastic potential energy, which in turn causes the connecting plates 26 to move closer to each other until the connecting plate 26 contacts the photomask 3, thereby clamping and fixing the photomask 3.

[0069] Working principle: In use, first press the clamping block 19 to move it closer to the sliding plate 8, so that the clamping sleeve 18, which is fixedly connected to the clamping block 19, slides on the clamping rod 17, thereby moving the rotating block 20, which is fixedly connected to the clamping sleeve 18, and compressing the rotating spring 21, which is fixedly connected to the rotating block 20, generating elastic potential energy, thereby driving the rotating plate 23, which is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 22, to rotate. This causes the connecting frame 25, which is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 24, to slide the connecting block 10 in the connecting groove 9, and causes the connecting plate 26, which is fixedly connected to the connecting block 10, to move away from each other. Then, the photomask 3 is placed in the support groove 27, and the clamping block 19 is released, so that the rotating spring 21 releases its elastic potential energy, causing the connecting plate 26 to move closer to each other until the connecting plate 26 contacts the photomask 3, thus clamping and fixing the photomask 3.

[0070] Next, the moving motor 12 is started, which drives the moving shaft 13, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the moving motor 12, to rotate. This causes the first moving gear 14 and the second moving gear 15, which are fixedly connected to the moving shaft 13, to rotate. This causes the sliding plate 8, which meshes with the first moving gear 14 and the second moving gear 15, to slide in the sliding groove 7. This causes the photomask 3 to move into the exposure machine, thus enabling convenient movement and removal of the photomask 3.

[0071] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
