Below need to cushion temporary three substrates with the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering be example, the technical scheme of present embodiment is described.
When the baking box unit takes place unusual and quits work, the control PLC communication of the control PLC of baking box unit and developing cell, the PLC of the out-of-work feedback information in baking box unit to developing cell, the substrate of the PLC control outlet module of developing cell no longer continues to transmit to the baking box unit, and control developing cell inlet module no longer receives the substrate of preparing to enter developing cell; Simultaneously, the PLC control basal plate of developing cell cushions temporary equipment action, three substrates inside the developing cell is received in the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering successively and keeps in, in order to avoid substrate is developed corrosion.
Need to prove that PLC control distinct device unit action involved in the present invention all is that each unit of driven by motor moves by PLC control motor action.
Detailed process is as follows:
At first, as shown in Figure 3, after substrate 1 arrives the outlet module 21 of developing cell, the transmission of the PLC control outlet module 21 of developing cell stops, and next unit transmits substrate 1 no longer forward, and this moment, the PLC of developing cell can carry out communication with the PLC of baking box unit, judge the baking box location mode, if the baking box unit is normal, the transmission forward of the PLC of developing cell control outlet module 21, substrate 1 can be conveyed into the baking box unit; If baking box unit exception, can not receive substrate 1, the PLC transmission information of baking box unit is given the PLC of developing cell, the PLC of developing cell carries out BUF: at first, the temporary equipment 4 of PLC control basal plate buffering rises, and the supporting that ground floor is accepted layer passes the framework of outlet module 21, the plane that is higher than outlet module 21 bearing substrates, thereby lift and place ground floor to accept on the layer first substrate, at this moment, the outlet module 21 of outlet port unit prepares to receive second substrate.
Next, as shown in Figure 4, after first substrate 1 lifted by the temporary equipment 4 of base-plate buffering, second substrate of PLC control of developing cell imports outlet module 21 into, after second substrate enters outlet module 21 fully, the temporary equipment 4 of PLC control basal plate buffering continues to rise to the second layer and accepts the framework that the supporting of layer also passes outlet module 21, the plane that is higher than outlet module 21 bearing substrates, thereby also lift and place the second layer to accept on the layer second substrate, at this moment, the outlet module 21 of outlet port unit is accepted the 3rd substrate.So far, the substrate of developing cell all enters into the temporary equipment 4 of base-plate buffering and outlet module 21 (one place at outlet module 21 places, keep in for two in addition) in the temporary equipment 4 of base-plate buffering.
After the baking box cell failure is removed, the information that the PLC transmitting apparatus of baking box unit recovers is to the PLC of developing cell, the action of PLC control outlet module, the 3rd substrate is sent to the baking box unit, the temporary equipment of control basal plate buffering descends then, second substrate is placed on the outlet module 21, and control outlet module 21 passes away second substrate, in like manner, first substrate is passed away.So far, the 3rd substrate, second substrate, first substrate are sent out outlet module 21 successively, develop then and recover normal, begin to receive the substrate that developing cell is prepared to enter in the back.
In the technical scheme of present embodiment, the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering is placed the outlet module below of developing cell, next unit at developing cell, be that the baking box unit is when breaking down, rise the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering, the substrate that will be in developing cell outlet module position lifts, temporary substrate, the feasible substrate that is positioned at the visualization module of developing cell can further be sent to the outlet module place of developing cell, and then by the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering substrate is lifted from outlet module that (last piece substrate need not to be lifted, only need be sent to the outlet module place gets final product), after treating that the baking box cell failure is removed, fall the temporary equipment of base-plate buffering, temporary substrate relay get back to developing cell outlet module position, so that further be sent to the baking box unit, carry out heating and cooling, the temporary device structure of this base-plate buffering is simple, only need carry out less improvement to existing equipment can realize, avoided since the substrate that the baking box cell failure causes at the visualization module overstand of developing cell, thereby further avoided effectively having reduced the quantity of scrapping of substrate because the substrate that the developer solution corrosion causes is scrapped.
