With the evolution of glass technology for this TFT LCD, the size of the glass continues to increase. That is, the size of the glass has increased from the first generation to the fifth generation. The glass with a size of 600mm by 720mm can be easily handled in the fourth generation glass case using traditional surname engraving equipment. However, the size of the fifth generation glass is processed using conventional engraving equipment. The dimensions are l, 100mm by l, 250mm. 1322196 Glass size can cause many problems. The size of the etching apparatus will increase proportionally to the size of the glass, and in particular, the size of the crucible used to support the glass also increases as the size of the etching apparatus increases. However, many problems arise when using conventional enamel to etch large size glass. The focus is on the glass to be evenly engraved during the processing of the engraved glass and without any damage after the money. That is, the difficulty of uniform etching due to the increase in size, the bending of the glass during the treatment, the damage caused by the collision between adjacent glass, and the damage due to the weight of the glass become a problem in the etching. The applicant of the present invention has developed the rice carving apparatus of the present invention by improving the structure of the glass crucible and the structure of the bath, which includes a bubble generating device, which uniformly etches a glass having a large area by uniformly circulating an etching solution or a rinsing solution.

The present invention provides a method for arranging a large LCD glass, the concentration of the solution; by pulsing the bubble in an etching bath of the eclipse system and the bubble providing device The solution is engraved to measure the thickness of the glass fill on the side of the glass; the use temperature is higher than the glass. ^Ultra-pure water reads the temperature to clean the broken glass; and the step of drying the ring, :::glass: contains the use of maintaining the bubble in the crucible from ... ... to two: on:::: use to avoid bubble overflow _ Τ S S 解 说明 解 解 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 一 φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ φ Through the picture of 1322196. As shown in the first figure, a glass crucible 100 includes at least one pair of side portion support members 110 such that a plurality of glass can be inserted from the top end portion to the bottom end portion. Although the first figure illustrates the cymbal in which a pair of the side portion support members are fixed, one or more of the side portion support members may be further fixed in the lower half. The glass inserted into the crucible is supported by a plurality of lower support members 120 disposed in the lower half. The conventional glass crucible includes a plurality of 'V' shaped * grooves spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance such that the side portion support members 110 can support a plurality of glasses. That is, a glass is inserted into a 'V' shaped groove in the vertical direction. However, when one end portion of the glass is inserted into the 'V' shaped groove, uneven etching may occur at the end portion of the glass. In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides an improved groove of the side portion supporting member for inserting both end portions of the glass. In addition, the conventional glass crucible having four open sidewalls has a plurality of φ through regions 150. The open side wall does not have any problems in handling the small glass of the fourth or previous generations. However, when dealing with large glass of the fifth or subsequent generations, fluids such as etching solutions cannot flow freely. Therefore, uneven etching may occur. According to the present invention, the four side walls are closed compared to the conventional open type, so that the fluid flows upward into the crucible and flows downwardly, thereby allowing the fluid to flow freely. Since the glass crucible is not large, the bending of the glass is not serious. However, as the size of the glass increases, this bending phenomenon causes serious problems. That is, adjacent glass may collide with each other due to bending, so the glass is damaged \ 11 1322196 or causes (four) unevenness. The invention can avoid surface collision of glass. The conventional glass E includes a plurality of the lower branch members 12 of the lower half to support the glass of the lower half. The lower portion of the support member is made of a reinforced plastic whose teeth are similar to the dragon body.
