Corresponding to the arrangement of the partition plate 203 and the frame 201, the number of the openings 3 on each side is two in the embodiment, and the number of the corresponding cleaning assemblies 4 and the number of the corresponding attaching assemblies 6 are also two, so that the number of the partition plates 203 can be correspondingly increased in practical use, the simultaneous processing of a large number of substrate boxes can be realized to improve efficiency, the number of the openings 3 also needs to be correspondingly increased, and the number of the openings 3 is always one more than that of the partition plates 203 because the substrate boxes can be placed on the inner top wall of the frame 201. The cleaning assembly 4 comprises a shunt pipe 402 which is positioned in the opening 3 and is flush with the inner wall of the water tank 1, a plurality of water outlet holes are formed in the bottom of the shunt pipe 402, and the water outlet holes are formed right below the shunt pipe 402 in the embodiment; the surface of the shunt pipe 402 far away from the water tank 1 is fixedly provided with a base 401, the interior of the base 401 is movably provided with a telescopic pipe (not shown in the figure) communicated with the shunt pipe 402, and the end part of the telescopic pipe far away from the shunt pipe 402 is communicated with an external water source so as to realize water supply to the shunt pipe 402.

In order to prevent the water flow from flowing between the long plate 601 and the narrow plate 603 after the narrow plate 603 moves, the narrow plate 603 may be disposed in an L shape, the long side of which is opposite to the slope of the opening 3, and the short side of which is slidably disposed inside the long plate 601.
The control assembly 5 comprises two telescopic rods 501 fixedly connected with the base 401, the number of the telescopic rods 501 is the same as that of the base 401, and the telescopic rods 501 are vertically arranged so that the base 401 can move in the vertical direction (the telescopic direction of the telescopic rods 501 is perpendicular to the central connecting line of the two guide rails 202); the control assembly 5 further comprises a power portion fixedly connected with the telescopic rod 501 and driving the telescopic rod 501 to move in the front-rear direction, the power portion in this embodiment comprises a cylinder 503 fixedly connected with the frame 7, and a side plate 502 fixedly connected with the telescopic rod 501 is fixedly mounted at an output end of the cylinder 503.
In the present embodiment, it is preferable that: after the substrate box finishes the photoresist removing process and the IPA removing process through a photoresist removing process tank and an IPA process tank in sequence, the frame 201 and the substrate box are moved into the water tank 1 through the driving device and the basket lifting mechanism, then the cylinder 503 and an external water source are started in sequence, the cylinder 503 drives the side plate 502 and the telescopic rod 501 to move towards the opening 3, the telescopic rod 501 drives the base 401 and the shunt pipe 402 to extend into the water tank 1 from the opening 3, the shunt pipe 402 enters the water tank 1 and then is inserted into the guide rail 202 on the frame 201 and is clamped with the guide rail 202, at the moment, the shunt pipe 402 moves towards the frame 201 along the guide rail 202 and corresponds to the substrate box, and then the cylinder 503 drives the shunt pipe 402 to reset along the guide rail 202 through the side plate 502, the telescopic rod 501 and the base 401 and reciprocates along the guide rail 202; the shunt pipe 402 can not be completely retracted into the opening 3 in the resetting process, and the influence on the water outlet of the shunt pipe 402 can not be generated. In the process, an external water source conveys clean water to the shunt pipe 402 through the telescopic pipe and the clean water is sprayed out of the water outlet holes at the bottom of the shunt pipe 402 to clean the large-size substrates in the frame 201 and on the partition plate 203. At this time, when the driving device cooperates with the basket lifting mechanism to drive the frame 201, the partition 203 and the substrate box to shake up and down in clear water, the guide rail 202 can drive the shunt pipe 402 and the base 401 to move up and down relative to the opening 3, and the positions of the cylinder 503 and the side plate 502 are unchanged due to the arrangement of the telescopic rod 501. When the base 401 and the shunt tube 402 move up and down, the long plate 601 can always keep fit with the surface of the base 401 (or the shunt tube 402) and move synchronously under the action of the first spring 602, the long plate 601 can drive the narrow plate 603 to move synchronously when moving, when the narrow plate 603 is relatively close to the top wall or the bottom wall of the opening 3, the narrow plate 603 extruded by the slope can be relatively close to the frame 201, and under the action of the second spring 604, the narrow plate 603 can always keep fit with the inner wall of the water tank 1, and further the opening 3 is always in a sealing state.
Through the matching of the structures such as the guide rail 202, the shunt pipe 402, the telescopic rod 501 and the long plate 601, the reciprocating movement of the shunt pipe 402 relative to the frame 201, the substrate box and the large-size substrate can be realized, the same corresponding position of the water outlet hole and each substrate box can be ensured, the same cleaning force of the water outlet hole to each large-size substrate can be ensured, the cleaning effect on the large-size substrate is effectively ensured, and the processing quality and the later-stage yield of the large-size substrate are further ensured. When the frame 201 and the partition plate 203 shake up and down, the flow dividing pipe 402 can move synchronously with the frame, so that the same cleaning force of the water outlet hole on each large-size substrate is further ensured, and further the cleaning effect on the large-size substrates is further ensured. Because the shunt pipe 402 can move synchronously with the frame 201 and the partition plate 203, the arrangement area of the frame 201 can be reduced as much as possible, namely, the distances between the bottom wall of the frame 201 and the partition plate 203 and between the partition plate 203 and the upper surface of the frame 201 are reduced, and further, the space utilization rate can be improved; on this basis, the frame 201 can also be arranged to be matched with the size of the water tank 1, so that the overall space utilization rate is further improved. At shunt tubes 402 and base 401's removal in-process, long board 601 can synchronous movement rather than keeping the laminating, and narrow board 603 can relative movement and keep the laminating with the inner wall of basin 1, and then can realize the effective sealing to opening 3 department, prevents that the apopore from rinsing the circumstances that the clear water spills from opening 3 department in the drainage, can guarantee the effective utilization of clear water and practice thrift the water resource, has satisfied more demands in the in-service use.
Example three:
referring to fig. 1 to 12, on the basis of the second embodiment, only one opening 3 is provided on each side, and the length of the opening 3 in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the distance between two openings 3 in the second embodiment (plus the length of the opening 3). In this embodiment, the attaching assembly 6 includes a sliding plate 6001 and ribs 6002 which are in up-down sliding fit, the ribs 6002 are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the opening 3, the length (up-down) of the ribs 6002 is much smaller than that of the sliding plate 6001, the upper and lower sides of the middle sliding plate 6001 are movably attached to the surfaces of the two shunt tubes 402, the sliding plates 6001 which are located at the upper and lower margins are in up-down sliding fit with the opening 3, the uppermost sliding plate 6001 is attached to the upper surface of the uppermost shunt tube 402, and the lowermost sliding plate 6001 is attached to the bottom of the lowermost shunt tube 402; the elongated slot that is used for holding top slide 6001 and below slide 6001 is all seted up to opening 3's upper and lower both sides, and fixedly connected with third spring between the bottom of below slide 6001 and the elongated slot, under the effect of third spring, below slide 6001 can remain the laminating with below shunt tubes 402 all the time, and the third spring hides in the inside of elongated slot.
In the present embodiment, it is preferable that: after the frame 201 and the substrate cassette are moved into the water tank 1, the cylinder 503 is started to drive the shunt tube 402 to move along the guide rail 202 and to reciprocate corresponding to the substrate cassette by the cooperation of the side plate 502, the telescopic rod 501, the base 401 and other structures. And then, an external water source is started to spray clear water through the water outlet holes by matching the structures of the extension pipe, the base 401, the shunt pipe 402 and the like so as to clean the large-size substrates in the frame 201 and on the partition plate 203. In this in-process, drive arrangement cooperation hand-basket mechanism drives frame 201 again, when baffle 203 and substrate box tremble from top to bottom in the clear water, guide rail 202 can drive shunt tubes 402 and base 401 and reciprocate for opening 3, shunt tubes 402 of below can lifting slide 6001 at the rising this moment, make slide 6001 along the vertical rising of rib 6002, the shunt tubes 402 of top can push down slide 6001 when descending, make it along the vertical decline of rib 6002 again, in this in-process, the top slide 6001 can descend by oneself under the action of gravity, the bottom slide 6001 can go up and down with bottom base 401 under the effect of third spring is synchronous, even make slide 6001 can remain the laminating with the surface of base 401, make opening 3 be in encapsulated situation all the time.
In the second embodiment, the long plate 601 and the narrow plate 603 which are symmetrical relative to the shunt pipe 402 and the plurality of the first springs 602 and the second springs 604 are arranged to realize the sealing of the opening 3, so that the clean water is prevented from leaking out of the opening 3; however, the relative sealing of the shunt tubes 402 is complex, and the number of the openings 3 is increased along with the number of the partition plates 203, so that more long plates 601, narrow plates 603, first springs 602 and second springs 604 are required, which is troublesome for installation and formation, and has certain use limitation. Compared with the second embodiment, the plurality of openings 3 on each side are adjusted to be one large opening 3 through the matching of the openings 3, the base 401, the sliding plate 6001, the ribs 6002 and other structures, so that the processing technology can be simplified, and the long-acting and stable sealing effect on the openings 3 can be realized; meanwhile, the structure is simpler, a large number of long plates 601, narrow plates 603, first springs 602 and second springs 604 do not need to be additionally arranged, and the working cost is also saved; even if the quantity of the partition plates 203 is increased to clean the substrates at the later stage, the quantity of the ribs 6002 and the sliding plates 6001 can be correspondingly adjusted at the opening 3, the whole operation is simpler and more labor-saving, and the applicability is stronger.
As a further improvement of the present embodiment: on the basis of one opening 3, the control assembly 5 can be composed of only the power part, i.e. without the need to add the telescopic rod 501. The power part is still composed of the cylinder 503 and the side plate 502, and the side plate 502 is still fixedly connected with the output end of the cylinder 503, but the connection mode of the cylinder 503 and the frame 7 is changed from fixed connection to sliding connection, and the surface of the frame 7 is provided with a sliding groove 8 for the cylinder 503 to slide up and down.
In the second embodiment, because the telescopic rod 501 is arranged, when the guide rail 202 drives the shunt pipe 402 and the base 401 to move up and down, the positions of the cylinder 503 and the side plate 502 are not changed, and at this time, the cylinder 503 is fixedly connected with the rack 7. The cylinder 503 is instead slidably connected to the frame 7, so that when the guide rail 202 drives the shunt tube 402 and the base 401 to move up and down, the base 401 can drive the side plate 502 and the cylinder 503 to move synchronously, so that the cylinder 503 moves along the chute 8 relative to the frame 7; on the basis that does not influence shunt tubes 402 and base 401 and go up and down, need not to install the quantity of telescopic link 501 additional according to base 401's quantity again, save working cost more, also need not readjustment cylinder 503 and curb plate 502 after the increase of later stage baffle 203 quantity simultaneously, alleviate staff's work burden, the practicality is higher.
