Then, remove the release film from transfer film A, and laminate the high-temperature PET film onto the adhesive surface of transfer film A. Finally, punch out positioning holes on the high-temperature PET film and transfer film A to obtain semi-finished product C.
[0013] S02: Pre-pressing the bumps. A fully automatic dotting machine is used to first position the bumps on a jig. Then, the high-temperature PET film of semi-finished product C faces downward and is pressed using a press machine. The bumps are pressed onto the bottom of the high-temperature PET film of semi-finished product C to obtain semi-finished product D.
[0014] S03: Pressing the bumps: Using an FPC pressing machine, press the bumps on the semi-finished product D for the second time to obtain a semi-finished product E;
[0015] S04: First lamination: first, the semi-finished product E is positioned on the jig with the convex point facing downwards, and then the semi-finished product B with the thin release film removed is pasted on the semi-finished product E to obtain the semi-finished product F;
[0016] S05: Second lamination, first remove the thick release film on the semi-finished product F, take the release film A on the semi-finished product A, then align the semi-finished product F with the thick release film removed and the semi-finished product A with the release film A removed, and then laminarize to obtain a semi-finished product G;
[0017] S06: attaching the dome shrapnel, first remove the release film B on the semi-finished product G, then accurately attach the dome shrapnel to the semi-finished product G, ensuring that the dome shrapnel is located in the dome positioning hole (102), and then attach the dome shrapnel composite protective film D to the semi-finished product G to obtain the semi-finished product H;
[0018] S07: Cut the shape. According to the design drawing, punch out the shape of the semi-finished product H. It is required that the release film A is not cut. After the waste is discharged, the surface of the product is covered with the transfer film B to obtain the finished product.
[0019] In the production process of the dome module as described above, in step S02, when cutting the edge of the double-sided tape, ensure that the thin release film of the double-sided tape is cut off from the double-sided tape, and the thick release film of the double-sided tape is retained.
[0020] In the production process of the dome module as described above, in step S04, the pressing temperature is 185° C. to 195° C., the pressing pressure is 0.15 MPa to 0.25 MPa, the pre-pressing is 9 seconds to 11 seconds, and the holding pressure is 14 seconds to 16 seconds.
[0021] In the production process of the dome module as described above, in step S05, the pressing temperature is 185°C to 195°C, the pressing pressure is 135 to 145 kg, the pre-pressing is 9 seconds to 11 seconds, the holding pressure is 145 seconds to 155 seconds, the curing temperature is 155°C to 165°C, and the curing duration is 55 minutes to 65 minutes.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] 1. The dome module of the present invention uses a PET film as its base, and the dome spring is attached to the PET film with double-sided tape. This design can withstand temperatures up to 300°C. In addition, the dome mold base adopts a modular design, which facilitates production and precise assembly. By providing raised points on the outer side of the PET film, pressing the raised points first deforms the middle part of the dome spring and then triggers the circuit to be connected. This design can improve the accuracy of key pressing and avoid inaccurate pressing positions that fail to trigger spring deformation.
[0024] 2. The dome modules processed by the production process of the present invention have stable quality, low scrap rate and good uniformity.
