Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a substrate clamping and sealing structure, and more particularly to a substrate clamping and sealing structure that can maintain the yield of subsequent processes by preventing the substrate from being sprayed with chemicals or being inadvertently impacted during substrate transportation. [Background technology]

[0002] When performing surface treatment processes on ordinary substrates (eg, circuit boards), automatic transfer equipment is generally used to achieve better transfer efficiency when the substrate enters the next process. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, because automatic conveying devices used in general processes are not equipped with a shielding structure, substrates are often sprayed with chemicals or inadvertently struck during transport, resulting in chemical and physical damage to the substrates, which may have a negative impact on the yield of the substrate manufacturing process.

[0004] Therefore, in order to effectively solve the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention actively discloses how to develop a substrate clamping and sealing structure that can prevent the substrate from being sprayed with chemicals or accidentally impacted during transportation, while maintaining the yield of the substrate manufacturing process.

[0005] In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, the inventors have developed a substrate clamping and sealing structure to solve these drawbacks, which prevents the substrate from being sprayed with chemicals or accidentally impacted during transport, while also maintaining the yield of the substrate manufacturing process. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a substrate clamping and sealing structure comprising a base, a lid, a clamping module, and a sealing module. The base includes a frame and a mounting portion disposed inside the frame, with a step formed between the upper surface of the frame and the upper surface of the mounting portion. The lid is detachably coupled to the base and has a stopper disposed around the periphery of the bottom surface of the lid. The clamping module is disposed between the upper surface of the mounting portion and the bottom surface of the lid. The sealing module is disposed between the upper surface of the frame and the bottom surface of the lid.

[0007] In one embodiment of the substrate clamping and sealing structure, a step is formed on the upper surface of the frame and the upper surface of the mounting portion so that the upper surface of the frame is higher than the upper surface of the mounting portion.

[0008] In one embodiment of the substrate clamping and sealing structure, a first annular recess is provided on the upper surface of the mounting portion, a second annular recess is provided on the bottom surface of the lid so as to correspond to the first annular recess provided on the upper surface of the mounting portion, and the clamping module is provided in the first annular recess and the second annular recess.

[0009] In one embodiment of the substrate clamping and sealing structure, the clamping module comprises at least a first annular abutment portion provided in the first annular recess and a second annular abutment portion provided in the second annular recess.

[0010] In one embodiment of the substrate clamping and sealing structure, the bottom surface of the lid is provided with at least a third annular recess and a fourth annular recess adjacent to the third annular recess, and the sealing module is provided in the third annular recess and the fourth annular recess.

[0011] In one embodiment of the substrate clamping and sealing structure, the sealing module comprises at least a first annular sealing portion provided in the third annular recess and a second annular sealing portion provided in the fourth annular recess. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] This allows the substrate to be placed between the base and the lid for protection, the clamping module to stably position the substrate, and the sealing module to seal the substrate, thereby preventing the substrate from being sprayed with chemicals or accidentally impacted during transportation, and maintaining the yield of the substrate manufacturing process.

[0014] In order to fully understand the objectives, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0015] 1 to 5, as shown in the drawings, the present invention is a substrate clamping and sealing structure 1, which includes a base 11, a cover 12, a clamping module 13, and a sealing module 14.

[0016] The base 11 includes a frame 111 and a mounting portion 112 provided inside the frame 111, and steps are formed on the upper surface of the frame 111 and the upper surface of the mounting portion 112.

[0017] The cover 12 is detachably connected to the base 11, and a stopper 121 is provided on the periphery of the bottom surface of the cover 12.

[0018] The clamping module 13 is provided between the top surface of the placement portion 112 and the bottom surface of the lid 12 .

[0019] The seal module 14 is disposed between the top surface of the frame 111 and the bottom surface of the lid 12 .

[0020] The present invention can be used in each conveying device 3 in a board manufacturing process (e.g., a circuit board manufacturing process). When conveying a board 2, a moving mechanism in the board manufacturing process moves the board 2 to a mounting portion 112 provided on the base 11 and positions the board 2. The lid 12 is then moved toward the base 11 and placed on the base 11 as a protective lid to protect the board 2. When conveying the board 2, the lid 12 is placed on the base 11, and a stopper provided on the lid 12 abuts against the outer edge of the frame 111, preventing the lid 12 from slipping off in a horizontal or vertical direction. The clamping module 13 clamps the peripheries of both sides of the board 2 to stably position the board 2. Furthermore, the sealing module 14 abuts between the lid 12 and the base 11, thereby sealing the board 2. This prevents the substrate 2 from being sprayed with chemicals or being inadvertently impacted during transportation in the substrate manufacturing process, and also maintains the yield of the substrate 2 manufacturing process.

[0021] In addition to the above-described embodiments, one embodiment of the present invention differs from the above-described embodiments in that a step is formed between the upper surface of the frame 111 and the upper surface of the mounting portion 112 so that the upper surface of the frame 111 is higher than the upper surface of the mounting portion 112. This makes it easier to position the substrate 2 on the mounting portion 112, thereby achieving the effect of stably mounting the substrate 2.

[0022] In addition to the above-described embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention differs from the above-described embodiments in that a first annular recess 113 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting portion 112, and a second annular recess 122 is provided on the bottom surface of the lid 12 to correspond to the first annular recess 113 provided on the upper surface of the mounting portion 112. In this embodiment of the present invention, the clamping module 13 includes at least a first annular abutment 131 provided in the first annular recess 113 and a second annular abutment 132 provided in the second annular recess 122, and the first annular abutment 131 and the second annular abutment 132 may be washers, gaskets, or rubber strips. Therefore, the first annular recess 113 and the second annular recess 122 allow the first annular abutment 131 and the second annular abutment 132 of the clamping module 13 to be stably coupled to the upper surface of the base 11 and the bottom surface of the lid 12.

[0023] In addition to the above-described embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, the cover includes at least a third annular recess 123 and a fourth annular recess 124 adjacent to the third annular recess 123, and the seal module 14 is disposed in the third annular recess 123 and the fourth annular recess 124. The seal module 14 includes at least a first annular seal portion 141 disposed in the third annular recess 123 and a second annular seal portion 142 disposed in the fourth annular recess 124, and differs from the above-described embodiment in that the first annular seal portion 141 and the second annular seal portion 142 may be washers, gaskets, or rubber strips. Therefore, the third annular recess 123 and the fourth annular recess 124 allow the first annular seal portion 141 and the second annular seal portion 142 of the seal module 14 to be stably coupled to the bottom surface of the cover 12.

[0024] According to the embodiment, when the substrate 2 is transported, a movement mechanism in the substrate manufacturing process moves the substrate 2 to the placement portion 112 provided on the base 11 and positions the substrate 2, then moves the lid 12 toward the base 11, and the lid 12 can be placed on the base 11 as a protective lid to protect the substrate 2. When the substrate 2 is transported, the lid 12 is placed on the base 11, and a stopper provided on the lid 12 abuts against the outer edge of the frame 111, preventing the lid 12 from slipping off in a horizontal or vertical direction. The clamping module 13 clamps the peripheral edges on both sides of the substrate 2, stably positioning the substrate 2. Furthermore, the sealing module 14 abuts between the lid 12 and the base 11, thereby sealing the substrate 2. This prevents the substrate 2 from being sprayed with chemicals or accidentally impacted during transport in the substrate manufacturing process, and maintains the yield of the substrate 2 manufacturing process.

[0025] Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention, but are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present invention. It should be noted that all modifications and replacements equivalent to the above embodiments are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is based on the scope defined in the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
