Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit boards, and in particular to a printed circuit board alignment device and method. Background Art

[0002] Printed circuit boards are providers of electrical connections for electronic components, and their alignment devices play a vital role in the production process of circuit boards. They are made using electronic printing technology and consist of an insulating base plate, connecting wires, and pads for assembling and welding electronic components. They have the dual functions of a conductive circuit and an insulating base plate. Printed circuit boards can replace complex wiring and realize electrical connections between components in the circuit, thereby simplifying the assembly and welding of electronic products and reducing the wiring workload.

[0003] However, before lamination, the existing circuit boards need to stack multiple substrates, among which the top substrate is copper foil. When the copper foil is covered on other substrates, wrinkles are likely to occur, which will affect the efficiency of subsequent lamination. At the same time, before the upper template is laminarized, it itself needs to be preheated, and the preheating operation is completed by the heating element inside the upper template. Preheating only by the heating element is prone to temperature fluctuations, and it is difficult to heat the upper template to the set temperature evenly and quickly, affecting the working efficiency of the upper template. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problems solved by this solution are:

[0005] (1) How to solve the problem that copper foil is prone to wrinkles when covered on other substrates, which will affect the subsequent lamination efficiency;

[0006] (2) How to solve the problem that temperature fluctuations are prone to occur when preheating only through heating elements, making it difficult to evenly and quickly heat the upper template to the set temperature, thereby affecting the working efficiency of the upper template.

[0007] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical scheme: a printed circuit board alignment device, comprising a base, a working cover is fixedly arranged on the top of the base, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly inserted on the top of the working cover, the hydraulic cylinder is longitudinally arranged, and the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to an upper template, a positioning mechanism for fixing copper foil is arranged on one side of the upper template, and a leveling mechanism for straightening the copper foil is arranged on the other side of the upper template;

[0008] The leveling mechanism includes a first cylinder fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the working cover, the first cylinder is longitudinally arranged, and a roller is rotatably arranged on the protruding end of the first cylinder, a turning frame is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the working cover, the middle part of the turning frame is rollingly connected to the roller, and the roller is located below the turning frame.

[0009] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that one end of the flip frame is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly mounted with a first rubber strip, and the position of the first rubber strip corresponds to the position of the upper template.

[0010] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: a second cylinder is fixedly installed on the flip frame through a connecting seat, and a pressing wheel is rotatably connected to the extended end of the second cylinder, and the pressing wheel is rollingly connected to the middle part of the rotating rod away from the first rubber strip, and the connecting seat is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod away from the first rubber strip through a tension spring; in the process of the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder being retracted to the shortest, the transmission rod is flipped to provide a downward pressing force to the first lever, so that the lifting rod descends and drives the positioning frame to flip, and one end of the copper foil on the flat plate is pressed and fixed by the second rubber strip, and then the extended end of the first cylinder is controlled to extend, and due to the influence of gravity, the flip frame flips. The roller is connected to the middle part of the flip frame in a rolling manner. When the first rubber strip contacts the other end of the copper foil, the roller is separated from the flip frame, and then the extended end of the second cylinder is controlled to extend. The pressing wheel provides a thrust to the end of the rotating rod away from the first rubber strip, so that the rotating rod rotates. The copper foil is straightened and flattened by the second rubber strip in cooperation with the first rubber strip to ensure the flatness of the copper foil and prevent wrinkles. Before the extended end of the first cylinder extends, the hot air flow blown out from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube cooperates with the heat emitted by the template itself to heat the first rubber strip on one side thereof to make it soft, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the first rubber strip in straightening and flattening the copper foil.

[0011] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that the positioning mechanism includes two guide frames fixedly connected to the working cover, a longitudinally arranged lifting rod is movably inserted between the two guide frames, a first lever is fixedly installed in the middle of the lifting rod, and a heating unit for increasing the temperature inside the working cover is arranged on one side of the lifting rod.

[0012] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that a positioning frame is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the working cover, a second rubber strip is fixedly installed on one end of the positioning frame, and the bottom end of the lifting rod is movably connected to the middle part of the positioning frame.

[0013] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that a baffle is fixedly mounted on the lifting rod below the first shifting rod, and a thrust spring is elastically arranged between the baffle and the guide frame below.

[0014] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that a transmission rod is rotatably arranged on the working cover between the hydraulic cylinder and the lifting rod, a second shifting rod is fixedly installed on the protruding end of the hydraulic cylinder, the second shifting rod is slidably connected to one end of the transmission rod, and the first shifting rod is slidably connected to the other end of the transmission rod.

[0015] A further technical improvement of the present invention is that: the heating unit includes a U-shaped tube, the middle part of the U-shaped tube is connected to an L-shaped tube, the middle part of the L-shaped tube is connected to an air outlet pipe, and the air outlet pipe is located in the working hood; by controlling the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder to shrink from half the length to the shortest, the upper template is raised, and the heating element inside the upper template is turned on to preheat the upper template itself. At this time, the two sealing plugs are respectively separated from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube, and cooperate with the second lever to drive the transmission rod to flip, pushing the top rod to rise, so that the blocking block blocks the output end of the air outlet pipe, and the hot air flow entering the L-shaped tube will be injected into the U-shaped tube and blown out through the two output ends of the U-shaped tube. The hot air flow will increase the temperature around the upper template and perform auxiliary preheating on the outer surface of the upper template, so that the upper template can be heated while ensuring uniform heating, avoiding temperature fluctuations and affecting the working efficiency of the upper template.

[0016] A working method of a printed circuit board alignment device, the working method specifically comprising the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Open the working hood, place various substrates on the flat plate in sequence, close the working hood and then turn on the hot air blower. At this time, the two sealing plugs block the two output ends of the U-shaped tube respectively, so that the hot air flow is blown out along the L-shaped tube and the air outlet pipe, and the air in the working hood is squeezed out through the exhaust hole, thereby effectively increasing the temperature in the working hood and ensuring the heating speed during the subsequent upper template preheating;

[0018] Step 2: Then control the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder to shrink from half the length to the shortest, so that the upper template rises, and turn on the heating element inside the upper template to preheat the upper template itself. At this time, the two sealing plugs are separated from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube respectively, and the second lever drives the transmission rod to flip, pushing the push rod to rise, so that the blocking block blocks the output end of the outlet pipe, and the hot air flow entering the L-shaped tube will be injected into the U-shaped tube and blown out through the two output ends of the U-shaped tube. The hot air flow will increase the temperature around the upper template and assist in preheating the outer surface of the upper template, so that the upper template can be heated evenly while being heated, avoiding temperature fluctuations and affecting the working efficiency of the upper template;

[0019] Step 3: When the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder is retracted to the shortest, the transmission rod is flipped to provide downward pressure to the first lever, so that the lifting rod descends to drive the positioning frame to flip, and the second rubber strip is used to press and fix one end of the copper foil on the flat plate, and then the extended end of the first cylinder is controlled to extend. Due to the influence of gravity, the flip frame flips, and the roller is connected to the middle of the flip frame by rolling. When the first rubber strip contacts the other end of the copper foil, the roller is separated from the flip frame, and then the extended end of the second cylinder is controlled to extend, and the pressing wheel provides thrust to the end of the rotating rod away from the first rubber strip, so that the rotating rod rotates, and the copper foil is straightened and flattened by the second rubber strip in cooperation with the first rubber strip to ensure the flatness of the copper foil and prevent wrinkles. Before the extended end of the first cylinder is extended, the hot air flow blown out from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube cooperates with the heat emitted by the template itself to heat the first rubber strip on one side thereof to make it soft, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the first rubber strip in straightening and flattening the copper foil.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] When the present invention is in use, the transmission rod is flipped to provide a downward pressing force to the first lever, so that the lifting rod descends and drives the positioning frame to flip, and one end of the copper foil on the flat plate is pressed and fixed by the second rubber strip, and then the extended end of the first cylinder is controlled to extend. Due to the influence of gravity, the flip frame is flipped, and the roller is rollingly connected with the middle part of the flip frame. When the first rubber strip contacts the other end of the copper foil, the roller is separated from the flip frame, and then the extended end of the second cylinder is controlled to extend, and the pressing wheel provides a thrust to the end of the rotating rod away from the first rubber strip, so that the rotating rod rotates, and the copper foil is straightened and flattened by the second rubber strip in cooperation with the first rubber strip, so as to ensure the flatness of the copper foil and prevent wrinkles. Before the extended end of the first cylinder is extended, the hot air flow blown out from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube cooperates with the heat emitted by the template itself to heat the first rubber strip located on one side thereof to make it soft, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the first rubber strip in straightening and flattening the copper foil.

[0022] When the present invention is in use, the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder is controlled to shrink from half its length to the shortest, so that the upper template rises, and the heating element inside the upper template is turned on to preheat the upper template itself. At this time, the two sealing plugs are respectively separated from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube, and the second lever is cooperated to drive the transmission rod to flip, pushing the top rod to rise, so that the blocking block blocks the output end of the outlet pipe, and the hot air flow entering the L-shaped tube will be injected into the U-shaped tube and blown out through the two output ends of the U-shaped tube. The hot air flow will increase the temperature around the upper template and perform auxiliary preheating on the outer surface of the upper template, so that the upper template can be heated evenly while being heated, avoiding temperature fluctuations and affecting the working efficiency of the upper template.

9. A working method of a printed circuit board alignment device according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The working method specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1: Open the working cover (5), place the various substrates on the flat plate (8) in sequence and accurately, close the working cover (5), and then turn on the hot air blower (6). At this time, the two sealing plugs (12) respectively block the two output ends of the U-shaped tube (915), so that the hot air flow is blown out along the L-shaped tube (2) and the air outlet pipe (911), and the air in the working cover (5) is squeezed out through the exhaust hole (4); Step 2: Then control the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder (1) to shrink from half the length to the shortest, so that the upper template (10) rises, and turn on the heating element inside the upper template (10) to preheat the upper template (10) itself. At this time, the two sealing plugs (12) are separated from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube (915) respectively, and cooperate with the second lever (93) to drive the transmission rod (92) to flip, pushing the push rod (914) to rise, so that the blocking block (912) blocks the output end of the outlet pipe (911), and the hot air flow entering the L-shaped tube (2) will be injected into the U-shaped tube (915) and blown out through the two output ends of the U-shaped tube (915). The hot air flow will increase the temperature around the upper template (10) and perform auxiliary preheating on the outer surface of the upper template (10); Step 3: When the extended end of the hydraulic cylinder (1) is retracted to the shortest point, the transmission rod (92) is turned to provide downward pressure to the first lever (98), so that the lifting rod (99) is lowered to drive the positioning frame (95) to turn over, and the second rubber strip (94) is used to press and fix one end of the copper foil on the flat plate (8), and then the extended end of the first cylinder (77) is controlled to extend. Due to the influence of gravity, the turning frame (73) turns over, and the roller (74) is connected to the middle part of the turning frame (73) in a rolling manner. When the first rubber strip (75) contacts the other end of the copper foil, the roller (74) is separated from the turning frame (73), and then the extended end of the second cylinder (72) is controlled to extend, and the pressing wheel provides a thrust to the end of the rotating rod (76) away from the first rubber strip (75), so that the rotating rod (76) rotates, and the copper foil is straightened and flattened by the second rubber strip (94) in cooperation with the first rubber strip (75). Before the extended end of the first cylinder (77) is extended, the hot air flow blown out from the two output ends of the U-shaped tube (915) cooperates with the heat emitted by the template (10) itself to heat the first rubber strip (75) located on one side thereof to make it soft.
