Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of punching dies, and in particular to an automatic PIN removal die. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, when punching some products or materials with certain flexibility, such as flexible circuit boards, a punching die is needed. The punching die is a processing method that directly makes the material into the required shape by positioning, clamping, cutting and other operations of the flexible circuit board through the die. This process is suitable for large-scale and high-frequency production processes, and has the advantages of high production efficiency and high material utilization. The demand for molds is necessary for the large-scale production of FPC flexible circuit boards.
[0003] The existing punching template usually includes an upper template and a lower template that are arranged opposite to each other, a concave template arranged on the lower template, and a punch arranged on the upper template. The workbench is provided with a lifting member for pushing the upper template toward the lower template and a driving member for pushing the punch for punching. It should be noted that before punching the flexible circuit board, it is usually necessary to position it to reduce the possibility of deviation during punching, which may affect the qualified rate of the product or material.
[0004] In the prior art, positioning pins are usually fixed on the concave template. When performing the punching operation, a hole is pre-opened on the flexible circuit board to be punched, and then the hole is aligned with the positioning pin to pass the positioning pin through the hole for positioning, and then punching is performed. After the punching is completed, the product or material is removed from the fixed positioning pin. Since the flexible circuit board is made of flexible material, this process will cause warping and wrinkling of the product or material, which will affect the appearance of the product or material, and therefore further improvement is needed.

After the punching is completed, the pushing component is started to lower the installation plate to drive the PIN needle to slide away from the pre-opened hole on the product or material, and when it retreats into the first perforation, at this time, because the product or material is fixed by the upper and lower templates, the straightness of the product or material can be maintained at this time, so as to reduce the possibility of warping or wrinkling of the product or material during the production process, so as to reduce the generation of defective products caused by the above situation.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of threaded holes along its length direction and width direction.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a plurality of threaded holes are opened on the mounting plate so that PIN pins of corresponding quantity and corresponding positions can be installed according to needs, thereby reducing the possibility of needing to equip the mounting plates with different threaded holes corresponding to different flexible circuit boards, thereby reducing the corresponding cost.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the PIN pin may sink as it is used, which reduces the positioning effect of the flexible circuit board. In the subsequent punching, the size may be inaccurate and the error may be large. Therefore, a fixed plate is provided between the mounting plate and the cylinder, and a slide groove is provided on the fixed plate. A sliding plate slidably connected to the slide groove is provided on the mounting plate. The position of the through hole between the threaded hole on the mounting plate and the concave template can be adjusted, and then the limit assembly is used to limit the position to reduce the possibility of replacing the mounting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the position of the mounting plate needs to be changed, the limit rod is slid out of the limit hole through the unlocking member to push the mounting plate to slide. After sliding to the appropriate position, the unlocking member is unlocked to push the limit rod toward the limit hole under the action of the pushing member. When the slide is inserted into the limit hole, the sliding of the sliding plate is limited.
[0017] Preferably, the pushing member includes a pushing rod slidably inserted into the mounting groove, a first spring coaxially sleeved on the pushing rod, and a connecting plate fixedly connected to the pushing rod for installation of the first spring, the first spring forces the pushing rod to move in a direction close to the limiting rod, and one end of the first spring away from the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove; a first guide surface is provided at the lower end of the limiting rod, a second guide surface for abutting against the first guide surface is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pushing rod, and the unlocking member is arranged on the connecting plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation between the first guide surface and the second guide surface, the unlocking piece is used to pull the connecting plate and the push rod in the direction away from the fixed plate, so that the push rod falls under the influence of its own gravity to disengage from the limiting hole, so that the sliding plate can slide. When it slides to the corresponding position, the unlocking piece is released, so that the limiting rod can be pushed to slide and be inserted into the limiting hole under the action of the first spring.

Since the lifting member 14 and the driving member are both existing technologies, they are not described in detail here.
[0038] It should be noted that the automatic PIN removal pin of this embodiment can also be used in other flexible products or materials that require punching, and is not limited to the flexible circuit board mentioned in this application.
