Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cleaning machines, and in particular relates to a cleaning machine for PCB boards after copper deposition. Background Art

[0002] PCBs, or printed circuit boards, are essential components in modern electronic devices. They support and connect various electronic components, and achieve electrical connections between these components through conductive paths. The production of PCBs involves multiple process steps, with copper plating being an essential part. After copper plating, chemical plating solutions, reducing agents, and other chemicals remain on the surface of the PCB and inside the hole walls, necessitating cleaning with a cleaning machine. However, existing cleaning machines have the following problems when cleaning PCBs: 1. The existing PCB cleaning process includes pickling and high-pressure deionized water rinsing. During pickling, as it is a preliminary cleaning, the pressure during spraying is relatively low, and top crimping is not required. Only bottom support and transportation are required. However, deionized water rinsing requires thorough cleaning. During deionized water rinsing, a fixed nozzle is usually used to rinse the PCB board at a fixed angle. Due to the thickness of the copper plating layer after copper plating, it is easy for residues to remain on the hole walls and surface protrusions. Therefore, fixed-angle spray rinsing is difficult to thoroughly remove residual impurities and chemicals, resulting in poor cleaning efficiency and effect. 2. Existing PCB boards are usually dried with hot air after cleaning. After drying, they need to be turned over by a turning mechanism. However, during the turning process, dust easily adheres to the PCB board again, affecting the cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

At this time, the water pump inside the deionized water tank is started, and the water pump transports the deionized water stored in the water tank to the rinsing roller 833, and the deionized water is transported to the diversion pipe 834, and then sprayed out from the rotating nozzle 837, realizing the back and forth reciprocating flushing and rotation flushing of the deionized water, increasing the coverage area of ​​the flushing, and dynamic flushing, compared with the fixed nozzle flushing, reduces the cleaning blind area, and the complex water flow pattern generated by the rotation and reciprocating action increases the shear force on the stains, which helps to peel off and take away the pollutants, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

A number of flip rods 63 are evenly fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating cylinder 66, and an air outlet 65 is opened on the outside of the rotating cylinder 66 between two adjacent flip rods 63.

[0036] During use, after the dried PCB board is conveyed to the roller conveyor 14, it then enters the gap between the adjacent flip rods 63 through the guide rollers 24. At this time, driven by the output end of the No. 1 servo motor 61, the central rotating shaft 62 and the No. 3 fixed rod 64 thereon are driven to rotate synchronously, and at the same time, the rotating cylinder 66 is driven to rotate, and the flip rod 63 is driven to rotate synchronously.

At the same time, the suction fan 17 conveys the filtered air to the annular tube through the air supply pipe 68, and then conveys it to the rotating cylinder 66 through the connecting pipe 69. The filtered air is then ejected from the blowing port 65 and blown onto the PCB board. The blown air is used to blow and clean the surface of the PCB board, thereby avoiding the situation where dust falls on the PCB surface when turning over, and at the same time has the effect of blowing and cooling the surface of the PCB board.

The filtered wastewater is collected by the collecting cover 101 and then discharged into the post-processing tank through the drain pipe 18 for treatment.

[0038] It should be noted that when using this PCB board copper plating cleaning machine, the water pump in the pickling tank is first started, and the water pump conveys the pickling liquid to the pickling spray roller 15, and then sprays it from the fixed nozzle 21. Then, the water pump inside the deionized water tank is started, and the water pump conveys the deionized water stored in the water tank to the rinsing roller 833. The deionized water is conveyed to the diversion pipe 834 and then sprayed from the rotating nozzle 837. Then, the PCB board to be cleaned is placed on the top of the conveying wheel 96 on the U-shaped plate 97. At this time, the No. 2 servo motor 91 is started, and the output end of the No. 2 servo motor 91 drives the input shaft of the gear box 921 to rotate, and at the same time drives the gear The output shaft of the box 921 and the fixed shaft 922 thereon rotate, synchronously driving the active bevel gear 923 and the driven bevel gear 924 to rotate, and at the same time driving the transmission shaft 98 and the multiple No. 2 worm gears 94 thereon to rotate, synchronously driving the No. 2 worm gear 93 and the conveying shaft 95 thereon to rotate, and then simultaneously driving the conveying wheel 96 to rotate, and the conveying wheel 96 is used to convey the PCB board from right to left, and convey it to the pickling machine 1, and the pickling liquid sprayed by the pickling spray roller 15 is used to rinse the PCB board. After the pickling is completed, as the conveying mechanism 9 continues to convey, it is conveyed to the clean water rinser 2, and the reciprocating rotating cleaning mechanism 8 is used to simultaneously clean both sides of the PCB board. The complex and rotating flushing increases the coverage area of ​​the flushing, and the dynamic flushing reduces the cleaning blind area compared to the fixed nozzle flushing. The complex water flow pattern generated by the rotation and reciprocating action increases the shear force on the stains, which helps to peel off and take away the pollutants, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency. After the flushing is completed, the PCB board is transported to the cold air dryer 3 for cold air drying, and the hot air dryer 4 is used to dry the PCB board with hot air. After the drying is completed, it is transported to the roller conveyor 14, and then enters the gap between the adjacent flip rods 63 through the guide roller 24. At this time, the central shaft is driven by the output end of the No. 1 servo motor 61. 62 and the third fixed rod 64 thereon rotate synchronously, and at the same time drive the rotating cylinder 66 to rotate, and synchronously drive the flip rod 63 to rotate, and the flip rod 63 is used to realize the automatic flipping of the PCB board. While flipping, the suction fan 17 delivers the filtered air to the annular tube through the air supply pipe 68, and then delivers it to the rotating cylinder 66 through the connecting pipe 69. Then the filtered air is ejected from the blowing port 65, and the ejected air is blown onto the PCB board. The blown air is used to blow and clean the surface of the PCB board, thereby avoiding the situation where dust falls on the PCB surface when flipping, and at the same time has the effect of blowing and cooling the surface of the PCB board.
