Abstract

The invention discloses a line pressure balancing system for a photoresist coating machine, comprising a nozzle component, a discharge pipeline and a first liquid sealed pressure balancing bottle, wherein nozzle is used for coating photoresist liquid; the discharge pipeline is connected to the nozzle component for discharging the photoresist liquid. The first liquid sealed pressure balancing bottle is provided with a first short pipe and a first long pipe, wherein the short pipe is connected to the discharge pipeline, while the first long pipe is communicated with the outside of the line pressure balancing system for balancing the pressure in the discharge pipeline. When negative pressure is formed in the discharge pipeline, the first long pipe supplies air form the outside of the line pressure balancing system to the discharge pipeline to discharge a photoetching glue solution. Meanwhile, the discharge pipeline can be judged as being blocked simply by an observation of the change of an isolated liquid of the first liquid sealed pressure balancing bottle.
