Description

Be used to handle flat and method and apparatus flexible work pieces
The present invention relates to be used for handling flat and equipment and method flexible work pieces, preferably on electroplating assembly line and etching facility, more particularly during wet-chemical or electrochemical treatments, when the foil-type workpiece vertically is immersed in the treatment pond, be used for handling workpiece.
In wet-chemical process production line, electroplating assembly line and etching facility special handle as the method for the thin workpiece of printed circuit paillon foil including, but not limited to, to the method step of described printed circuit paillon foil cleaning, activation, plating and reprocessing.In the workpiece that portion is made by electrically non-conductive material, several treatment step manufacturings are divided in printed circuit pattern and logical plating hole within it.For special application, foil thickness amounts to and is no more than the 30-50 micron, thereby these paillon foils have high sensitivity to mechanical stress.This surface is pliable and tough usually, thereby this workpiece can not transmit between cylinder.In this case, adopt for example vertical process for producing line of electroplating assembly line.In these production lines, by means of clamp, anchor clamps or screw, this printed circuit paillon foil is fixed to stroke lever by their outer rim.Usually, a plurality of paillon foils side by side and sometimes also one below another, be arranged on the stroke lever.
For the electrolytic deposition of conductive layer, this workpiece is connected to power cathode via these anchor clamps and stroke lever.In this case, correspondingly can conduct electricity as the comparative electrode of anode and be connected on this positive pole.During electrolytic etching, this polarity replaces.This workpiece is therefore by anodization.
The fixing stroke lever of this workpiece remains on and transmits on the carriage, thereby this workpiece is transported to another immersion liquid processing pond from an immersion liquid processing pond,, in it can be immersed in the corresponding immersion liquid processing pond, and from after processing once more from wherein promoting.
This treatment pond that is used to various process is with watery fluid-operated.According to the difference of composition, described fluid has different surface tension.For the thin workpiece falling of for example this paillon foil in this treatment pond, they need have minimum hardness and flat as far as possible surface.If situation is not like this, because the surface tension of this fluid, when this paillon foil just is being down in this fluid in for example horizontal direction, possible deflection, and may collide near be positioned at for example anode, heater, cooling device, transducer or the like this groove or the edge of parts.
Then may there be such danger in too big deflection, and promptly these responsive paillon foils will be out of shape or be crooked, even the formation risk of short-circuits is being arranged in electrolysis tank when this deflection paillon foil contacts the utmost point with electricity.Therefore, this reason is to form the relatively poor guiding piece of workpiece by these anchor clamps or tooth bar to cause, perhaps this material shortage hardness.Spraying or the like (convection current) by circulating pump, air causes in this pond that fluid flows and can also make this paillon foil deflection.To reducing the requirement of this thickness of workpiece, they no longer can immerse as traditional thick workpiece along with at present.
The objective of the invention is to eliminate the defective of known method, more particularly, provide a kind of equipment and method that is used to handle flat and pliable and tough workpiece, wherein under small charge guarantees, guarantee that under not producing the destruction situation workpiece falling is in process fluid.
The invention provides according to the equipment of claim 1 with according to the method for claim 14.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are explained in the dependent claims.
To under destruction situation not, in process fluid, handling before the disclosure and description of the present invention of flat and flexible work pieces, will be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to disclosed concrete equipment, operation and material here.Be understandable that also the term of Shi Yonging only is used to describe the purpose of specific embodiment here, do not want to limit, because scope of the present invention is only limited by accessory claim.Therefore, it should be understood that by technological means and can carry out various remodeling and replacement that wherein these remodeling and replace can be applied under not breaking away from as the situation of accessory claim institute limited range on those contents that are described by means of following example and accompanying drawing.
Apparatus and method according to the invention is used for utilizing the substantially perpendicularly flat and pliable and tough workpiece of fluid treatment of position, specifically, preferably carries out on electroplating assembly line and etching facility.This equipment and method allow the foil-type workpiece is placed in the fluid, particularly in such a way, be placed on for example is in the process fluid (treatment pond), wherein this workpiece can not be out of shape and/or shift position basically, thereby they are prevented from and the sidewall of this processing groove (groove) or the parts collision of dress in other.
Equipment according to the present invention comprises the protection carrier that at least one is used to keep this workpiece; this carrier can be admitted by the groove that this fluid is housed; comprise also that simultaneously at least one makes fluid flow into the interior device of this protection carrier; wherein in such a way; promptly the workpiece in this protection carrier can not be out of shape and/or shift position basically, at least fluid flow into and filling process during these can not take place.Preferably, this fluid is to be used to wet-process fluid of chemistry or electrochemical treatments.This fluid that uses also can be the gas that for example is used for dry hot-air.In order to simplify, term " process fluid " will be used for following description, to represent any fluid.
In order to realize the method according to this invention, this workpiece is fixed in stroke lever, for example by means of transfer system this workpiece is sent to the described stroke lever of various processing grooves.According to the present invention, thereby this workpiece does not drop in this fluid, but at first is received in the protection carrier, wherein this carrier emptying process fluid basically for example.This protection carrier is sent in the processing groove that is placed on wherein.Then, this protection carrier is full of this process fluid, and mode is that this workpiece can not be out of shape and/or the shift position basically.Then, it is also processed to have only workpiece to contact with this process fluid.
This protection carrier comprises chemical substance and the material of predetermined pond temperature, for example plastics or the metal that is suitable for adopting.The device that utilizes gravity that this process fluid is contained in this protection carrier is at least one aperture in this protection carrier.Preferably, this protection carrier is made up of sidewall and diapire, and this aperture separates equably and is distributed on the described wall.Being dimensioned to like this of this aperture, i.e. this process fluid may command and flowing into lentamente in the described carrier, and do not make this responsive workpiece crooked or push open.Preferably, the size in each aperture (runner zone) scope is from 1 to 500 square millimeter.In order to consider for example to use the specific (special) requirements of process fluid different surfaces tension force, wherein this different surfaces tension force depends on the sensitiveness of this process fluid composition or this workpiece, and the aperture in this protection carrier can be made differently or scalable.For example, utilize replaceable gate or orifice plate, runner variableization of zone and the adjustment in this aperture.Described gate or orifice plate can be installed on the wall of this protection carrier.By replacing gate or the orifice plate with respect to this aperture, with respect to the position changeableization of position, aperture on this protection carrier walls, the opening on this protection carrier can be capped partly or be closed in this this orifice plate aperture.As a result, entering into the fluid of this protection carrier and the volume flow speed of this fluid can change.By replacing this gate and orifice plate, be closed in the aperture on this protection carrier partly, the time per unit influx has reduced.
For example, as the function of flow velocity, during this process fluid flow into this carrier, eddy current occurred in this process fluid of back, aperture on the protection carrier.In addition, the fluidised form of the dispersion that departs from this opening is towards this protection carrier inside direction orientation, and when when meeting, also forming eddy current.These eddy current can make responsive workpiece deformation.The degree that forms effect by this eddy current on this workpiece for example depends on that this workpiece is with respect to the orientation of eddy generation and apart from the distance or the flow direction of eddy generation.In the specific embodiment of this protection carrier, this process fluid only is passed in the aperture that is parallel to this workpiece on this protection carrier sidewall, and the aperture that may exist on side is in addition sealed simultaneously.This setting is to be used for stoping easily deformable especially workpiece owing to the bending of flowing and cancelling each other out and forming, and wherein should flow in this case almost pro impinges upon on this workpiece, thereby this workpiece can not depart from their position basically.
For example during this carrier rises; in order after processing, to protect this process fluid of carrier emptying from this fast; the diapire of this protection carrier can preferably have discharging baffle plate or big surface discharge gate; when this protection carrier by via the rising movement of handlebar stem or when passing through float and promoting; these discharging baffle plates or big surperficial gate are opened automatically; in the time of simultaneously in dropping into this groove, automatically close once more.
During this electrochemical treatments of this workpiece (by electroplating or electric polishing procedure), anode that the plating of formation electrolytic cell needs or the negative electrode that is used for etching can be fixed in the wall of this protection carrier.If the chemical resistance of this protection carrier and this electrochemical process are suitable, then this wall itself can play the effect of this anode or negative electrode.
If this anode (comparative electrode) is fixed on any side in the workpiece both sides near this groove edge in mode well-known in the art; then this protection carrier is except playing opposing convection current and protecting the effect of this workpiece in this protection carrier, also can play the opposing electric field magnetic line of force and shields the effect of comparative electrode.For this reason, for example, preferably, be used to admit for example this aperture of boring of this process fluid can not be located at the peripheral region of this protection carrier walls in this protection carrier, perhaps they are comparable little and/or few at these region quantities at these those diameters of wall middle section.This is just avoided having the undesirable strong magnetic line of force to concentrate in this workpiece peripheral region.In this case, the material of this carrier does not allow to have on the surface at least at it feature of conductivity, because this electric field magnetic line of force can not penetrate into this carrier and arrive this workpiece.
Be full of this carrier in order to be received at this workpiece behind this protection carrier or when they are being introduced in this protection carrier; this process fluid is fed to this protection carrier by hydrostatic gradient, and hydrostatic gradient wherein forms by tank liquor faces different inside and outside this protection carrier.By this protection carrier inside and outside fluid height difference, have various may be to form this gradient, when this protection carrier was down in this groove, the fluid in this processing groove was for example replaceable.
For example, this processing groove can be made up of protection carrier fixing, that promptly firmly install.In this case, utilize transfer system, remain on workpiece on the trip bar and be sent to and be positioned at the empty protection of this dead slot carrier.In this case; before being down into the trip bar in this dead slot; this process fluid for example is contained in the independent reservoir; and after the trip bar has been down into this work nest fully this workpiece has sunk in this protection carrier simultaneously; utilize feed system (pumping system or gravity) and pipeline, this fluid is fed to the vallecular cavity that is positioned at this protection carrier outside.After this wet-chemistry or electrochemical treatments were finished, this workpiece promoted to come out and be transported to next processing groove from this groove by means of this transfer system.This process fluid is recycled to this reservoir.Then, this protection carrier prepares to admit next workpiece.
In another embodiment, by this protection carrier that keeps this workpiece is down in this groove, the liquid level that can obtain in this groove is poor, and wherein this process fluid is fed to this groove during falling into this carrier or after falling into.In this case; this process fluid for example is contained in the independent reservoir; during this stroke lever that has this workpiece has been down into this work nest fully or has fallen into; utilize feed system (pumping system or gravity) and pipeline, this fluid is fed to the vallecular cavity that is positioned at this protection carrier outside.This reservoir both can be used as independent unit and had placed against this work nest, also can form by the independent side chamber in this processing groove or on this groove.For example blender, heater, cooler or the like device of being used to process this process fluid can be installed in this reservoir.After this chemistry or electrochemical treatments were finished, the trip bar that has this workpiece promoted from this groove, and this process fluid is recycled to this reservoir simultaneously.
In another embodiment, the liquid level difference in the groove that is full of process fluid can keep the processing groove of this workpiece to obtain by this protection carrier is down into.
The embodiment of Miao Shuing is at this protection carrier is sent to this processing groove and the mode from wherein shifting out in the back, and replacing the variation scheme that this protection carrier is sent to the above-mentioned method and apparatus in the groove that is full of or is not full of process fluid can combine with described embodiment arbitrarily.For example, utilize various devices, this protection carrier can be down in the processing groove that is full of.Preferably, this device can be made up of fixing protection carrier lifting device, and this lifting device is connected with this groove, utilizes this device simultaneously, and this protection carrier is transported in this groove.In another preferred exemplary embodiments, be installed to transporting of transfer system be used to transmit this workpiece on the carriage protection carrier lifting device protect this carrier to be sent in this groove so long.
In fixing protection carrier lifting device situation, in the trip bar is down into this processing groove before, this lifting device rises to upper position to this protection carrier.Therefore in this position, at this moment, this protection carrier takes out from this processing groove, and when workpiece is down into this protection carrier in the time, the process fluid outflow so far forth so that this workpiece can not be immersed in this process fluid.For process fluid is promptly flowed out; when this protection carrier promotes; the discharging baffle plate or the discharging door that are arranged on this protection carrier base for example can be opened; by lifter motion by means of handlebar stem; described discharging baffle plate or discharging door are opened automatically; and by descending motion, close automatically.Certainly, this discharging baffle plate and discharging door also can be by means of motors or are are for example opened and closed by any other drivings such as hands.
In order to handle, preferably, this protection carrier and workpiece synchronously are down in this processing groove.Therefore, remain on the replaceable one-tenth of the fluid degree that liquid level increases in this groove in this processing groove, cause inside and outside this protection carrier, existing liquid level poor.As a result, this process fluid can flow in this protection carrier through the vestibule that is provided with equably, and does not therefore destroy this workpiece.Change the area of flowing through of this vestibule by utilization flashboard in protection carrier sidewall; therefore the area of flowing through of this vestibule can be suitable for such speed, and in this speed, this lifting device reduces this workpiece; thereby process fluid is inwardly flowed, to be adapted to the workpiece performance.After processing, normal conditions in this facility, this workpiece can directly utilize the carriage lifting device that transports of the system of transporting to shift out.Then, by transporting moving of carriage, this workpiece can be sent in the next processing groove.This protection carrier remains on this processing groove low inside and puts, and prepares on above-mentioned processing groove and waits for up to next workpiece, transports moving of carriage not hinder.
In the specific embodiment of modification of the present invention, being installed in the workpiece lifting device that transports on the carriage usually can not need, and the lifting device that is used to protect carrier and be used for workpiece is installed in each processing groove at this moment.After this lifting device promoted workpiece out from processing station and takes upper position to, the carriage that transports of arrival was admitted the workpiece that is positioned on the trip bar.Utilize the lifting device and the stroke lever that arbitrarily hang this moment, the protection carrier that also is raised is fallen once more, is movable to next processing groove.The protection carrier that belongs to that groove is raised.Here, this protection carrier is admitted the trip bar, and will go into it in the processing pond.Then, this transports carriage and is movable to next work station.
If the protection carrier is installed to and transports on the carriage, this protection carrier can utilize described lifting device to be down into this processing groove and come out from lifting wherein.For this reason, this transports carriage pending carriage is sent to this processing groove.Before the wet-chemical pond was loaded, this protection carrier storage was in processing groove one of corresponding.Normally, this transports carriage and arrives the processing pond with the pending workpiece that is in the lifting state in general dipping workshop.Do not resemble that stroke lever is down in the processing groove immediately in the art methods, the present invention's suggestion at first promotes the protection carrier in the processing groove with protection carrier lifting device and comes out to reach workpiece, therefore by very empty protection carrier admittance.Then, the trip bar and protection carrier are down in the process fluid of processing station lentamente with basic identical speed.It is being down in the groove internal procedure, thereby this process fluid flow in the protection carrier that holds responsive workpiece equably, and make workpiece not deflection or distortion.In order to shift out them, only promote the stroke lever that has the workpiece lifting device.Stop the lower bottom part position at the protection carrier lifting device and the protection carrier in groove that transmit on the carriage, transport carriage simultaneously and move to next processing station.This embodiment allows not protect carrier fixedly to operate under the lifting device situation at processing station, and the whole height that needs almost floods the needs in workshop corresponding to prior art.
In the specific embodiment of modification of the present invention, the protection carrier is fixed to and transports carriage, thereby one of corresponding in the vertical moving and the processing station of walking.This protection carrier can be designed to have two parts at least with workpiece, and in bottom and two opposing sidewalls, has the baffle plate of automatic driving, and when needs, this baffle plate can be opened the protection carrier at this bottom and sidepiece.In case this baffle plate is opened, the protection carrier is divided into two and half parts, and the suspension parallel to each other of this two and half part is fixed on and transports on the carriage, and no longer fully around having on the stroke lever of workpiece.Preferably, this workpiece and the substantially parallel orientation of two and half parts.In order to admit workpiece, the stroke lever that is arranged on the piece-holder workpiece that transports on the carriage is in addition shifted onto in this protection carrier that opens wide.In case the stroke lever of holding workpiece reaches upper position, the flapper closure of bottom and sidepiece, two carrier halves branches combine to close baffle plate simultaneously.Under this condition, transport carriage and move to next processing station, wherein this carriage is down into this processing station to the protection carrier and the workpiece that have stroke lever.In case process fluid has entered into the protection carrier fully; in case this means the pond face inside and outside the protection carrier much at one the time, bottom and sidepiece baffle plate are opened, and protect carrier to be promoted by protection carrier lifting device once more simultaneously; up to reaching upper position, promptly protect the transporting position of carrier.This workpiece is processed, simultaneously, transports carriage and protects carrier to recover mobile together, transports task thereby carry out the next one.Do not make responsive workpiece substantial deviation than maelstrom in order to make in the lifting process of protection carrier in the inner fluid of pond, sidewall and baffle plate must correspondingly be designed to convenient flowing, and for example have rounded edge, smooth surface and do not have protuberance.Utilize this embodiment, unnecessarily each processing station is furnished with the protection carrier, but this feature also has such shortcoming, promptly correspondingly be brought to next work station attached to the process fluid on the protection carrier.This shortcoming for example can suppress in lifting process by being arranged on the wiping or the blowing apparatus that transport on the carriage, perhaps reduces at least basically and adheres to Fluid Volume.This embodiment is particularly suitable for that fluid will not have bigger disadvantageous situation in the wherein residual pond, for example, be used for from a service sink to another transport, be used for this workpiece is sent to the processing pond of unusual similar structures, multistage cleaning pond or be used for situation that process fluid takes out of continuously, for example be used for pool structure is restored for example.In transporting the carriage walking process, close baffle plate in this protection carrier base and can be used as catch tray simultaneously.Preferably, the process fluid of having shaken off down by walking movement is by closing baffle collected.When this baffle plate when next work station is opened, this residual fluid can be discharged from.For this reason, collection funnel can be set, this funnel stops any residual fluid to flow into this processing station, rather than for example directly is directed to Waste Water Treatment.In other embodiment of the present invention, after processing, the protection carrier will not be retained in the treatment pond.In order to load and unload this workpiece, this protection carrier has door on its side, and this door is towards depot.In this embodiment, stroke lever with the protection carrier be brought in the processing station one of corresponding on, be down into lentamente in this pond therein.In the landing process, this process fluid flow in this protection carrier equably, and does not make workpiece deformation.Utilize this embodiment, this outfit expense is very low, on the other hand, comes from attached to waste fluid on protection wall of carrier and the vestibule and the residual process Fluid Volume that is pulled away to another pond along a pond very big.
In fact, various embodiments of the invention can combine in electroplating workshop.
Apparatus and method according to the invention will further be explained at accompanying drawing.In this accompanying drawing, show the processing station (groove) of dispersion with cutaway perspective form.In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the emissions groove end view that has and do not have the protection carrier and have reservoir at electroplating workshop;
