Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board manufacturing technology, and in particular to a volcanic ash recycling device and circuit board manufacturing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the pretreatment process in PCB manufacturing involves the use of volcanic ash abrasive brushes. These brushes spray volcanic ash abrasive material onto nylon brushes, which then roughen the PCB substrate surface. However, because the volcanic ash is recycled and unfiltered, a large amount of foreign matter, such as copper shavings, nylon brush bristle shavings, and PP shavings, is generated in the abrasive material after brushing. When these foreign matter from the volcanic ash circulation tank is sprayed onto the board surface, it can easily clog holes, preventing copper plating during the electroplating process. This results in hole breakage, poor quality, and scrap, leading to serious customer complaints, significant losses, and increased production costs for the company. Utility Model Content

[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a volcanic ash circulation device 1000 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a cylinder 100, a stirring mechanism 200, a reflux device and a filter structure 400.
[0031] The cylinder body 100 has an internal receiving cavity 101 for storing volcanic ash in a paste-like state. The top of the cylinder body 100 has a rectangular inlet 102 communicating with the receiving cavity 101. A stirring mechanism 200, including a motor and a stirring paddle, is used to stir the volcanic ash within the receiving cavity 101. The motor drives the stirring paddle to rotate, thus stirring the volcanic ash within the receiving cavity 101. A return device includes a return pipe 300, one end of which is located above the inlet 102. The return pipe 300 is used to return used volcanic ash to the inlet 102. The filter structure 400 can be understood as a cuboid structure with a concave cross-section. The filter structure 400 is placed at the feed inlet 102 and is used to filter the volcanic ash flowing from the return pipe 300 to the feed inlet 102. This can filter foreign objects in the volcanic ash, reuse the volcanic ash, reduce costs, and avoid foreign objects clogging the holes and causing hole breakage.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the filter structure 400 is a box-shaped structure, including an outer box body 401. The outer box body 401 has a first opening 402 at its top. A baffle part 403 is provided at the edge of the first opening 402. The baffle part 403 overlaps the edge of the feed inlet 102. The bottom wall of the outer box body 401 is set as a mesh structure. The mesh structure can be understood as a fine mesh structure. The mesh aperture size of the mesh structure can be adapted to be able to filter foreign objects in volcanic ash.
[0033] In some other embodiments, the entire inner wall of the outer casing 401 can be configured as a mesh structure, which provides better filtration.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the filter structure 400 is equipped with a handle 405, which is horizontally positioned at the first opening 402. The handle 405 is provided to make it easier for workers to lift the entire filter structure 400 for cleaning operations.
[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter structure 400 further includes an inner box 406 located inside the outer box 401. The inner box 406 has a second opening 407 at its top, and a hook portion 408 is provided at the edge of the second opening 407. The hook portion 408 is attached to the handle 405. The bottom wall of the inner box 406 is also configured as a mesh structure, and the filtration function is achieved through the mesh structure. There is a gap between the bottom wall of the inner box 406 and the bottom wall of the outer box 401.
[0036] This embodiment achieves dual filtration by setting an inner box 406 and an outer box 401, which can effectively filter foreign objects in volcanic ash. The inner box 406 makes full use of the internal space of the outer box 401, and the overall filter structure 400 has a small volume. When the inner box 406 is removed for cleaning, the outer box 401 can continue to perform the filtering function without interrupting the subsequent volcanic ash brushing process.
[0037] In some other embodiments, the entire inner wall of the inner box 406 can be configured as a mesh structure, which provides better filtration.
[0038] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the hook portion 408 has an L-shaped structure. The hook portion 408 is hung on the handle 405, which can bear the weight of the entire inner box 406 and has a limiting function, making it difficult for the inner box 406 to move laterally.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the inner box 406 is provided with an overflow hole 409, which connects the inner cavity of the inner box 406 with the inner cavity of the outer box 401. When the return speed of the return pipe 300 is fast and too much volcanic ash accumulates in the inner box 406, the volcanic ash will overflow into the outer box 401 through the overflow hole 409, which can accelerate the flow speed of the volcanic ash and thus prevent the volcanic ash from overflowing to the outside of the cylinder 100.
[0040] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of filter structures 400 is at least two. For example... Figure 1 As shown, during normal operation, the return pipe 300 only directs the volcanic ash back to one of the filter structures 400. When the filter structure 400 accumulates too much foreign matter and needs cleaning, such as Figure 2 As shown, remove it upwards, as... Figure 3 As shown, another filter structure 400 is then moved laterally below the return pipe 300, and the filtration function continues through this filter structure 400, so that the subsequent volcanic ash brushing process does not need to be interrupted. After the previous filter structure 400 is cleaned, it is put back into the feed inlet 102. One of these two filter structures 400 is used for main filtration, and the other can be understood as a backup replacement.
[0041] This utility model embodiment also provides a circuit board manufacturing equipment, including the volcanic ash recycling device 1000 described above. The circuit board manufacturing equipment can be understood as equipment that implements all circuit board manufacturing processes, and may include multiple modules or devices.
