[0002] During the previous process and the transportation of PCB boards, it is inevitable that the PCB boards will be contaminated by air dust, droplets, and debris particles. When entering the exposure process and the inspection process, various debris will cause the PCB circuit to be unclear, scrapped, and inspected. In the process of printing and coating solder paste on PCB boards, the thickness of solder paste formed on the PCB boards is often uneven because of foreign objects such as semiconductor components, plastics, large particles of impurities or dust scattered on the PCB boards, which affects the printing quality of the PCB boards and causes the solder paste in local positions to be too thick, causing line faults such as short circuits, open circuits or wrong lines, and ultimately affecting the function of the PCB boards. Moreover, the PCB boards with foreign objects will also damage the scraper of the printing equipment during the process of printing solder, and even deform the scraper and scrap it, thus reducing the service life of the machine. For this reason, in the production process of many PCB boards, it is often necessary to clean the PCB boards first to remove stains on the PCB boards and eliminate static electricity on the PCB boards.

The present invention aims to provide a vertical cleaning machine, wherein a support plate 4 is obliquely arranged at the feed port 5 on the top of the cleaning machine case 2 to facilitate the lifting or lowering of the PCB board. During the lowering process of the PCB board, the driving device works so that the plurality of rubber rollers for cleaning the PCB board can clamp and clean the PCB board, and the cleaning effect is better than that of the horizontal type. The present invention has a reasonable design, can realize vertical cleaning of the PCB board, has high reliability and is easy to operate. The present invention is suitable for the cleaning of panels before the operation of a manual exposure machine and a semi-automatic exposure machine, and solves the defects of the reciprocating cleaning machines commonly used on the market that occupy a large space and waste a great deal of workshop space. The device has a compact structure, a small space occupation, and is simple and convenient to use.

[0024] In some examples of the present invention, the cleaning machine chassis 2 includes side panels 201 symmetrically arranged on the base frame 1; a guide rail is provided between the symmetrical side panels 201; a slot is symmetrically opened on each side of the side panel 201; a movable panel 210 is provided on the slot; and the movable panel 210 is installed on the guide rail.

[0025] In some examples of the present invention, an upper clamping roller 206 is provided between the symmetrical side plates 201; the upper clamping roller 206 is placed directly below the feed port 5; a lower clamping roller 207 is provided below the upper clamping roller 206; and the lower clamping roller 207 is adjustably mounted on the side plates 201.

Since the first adjusting arm 212 is provided with an adjusting hole, the adjusting hole is inclined, when the first adjusting arm 212 moves downward, the distance between the lower clamping rollers 207 can be reduced, and the clamping operation can be realized. The structure can be applied to the cleaning of PCB boards of various thicknesses, and is simple and convenient to use.

[0027] In some examples of the present invention, the rubber roller used to clean the PCB board includes a main sticky rubber roller 208 and a sticky paper roll 209; the main sticky rubber roller 208 is installed on the side panel 201; the sticky paper roll 209 is installed on the movable plate 210; the sticky paper roll 209 is arranged on the outside of the main sticky rubber roller 208 and is closely connected to the main sticky rubber roller 208. The main sticky rubber roller 208 is installed on the side panel to ensure that the PCB board can be better clamped during the cleaning process, and the sticky paper roll 209 takes away impurities on the main sticky rubber roller 208 to avoid the main sticky rubber roller 208 being not sticky enough and reducing the cleaning effect. At the same time, the sticky paper roll 209 is installed on the movable plate 210 to facilitate removal and cleaning, thereby improving the quality of cleaning.

[0028] In some examples of the present invention, the main sticky rubber roller 208 includes two groups of fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081 and movable sticky rubber rollers 2082 that are closely connected; the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 is provided with a second adjustment arm 216 at one end extending out of the side panel 201; a second cylinder 217 is provided on the side panel 201; one end of the second adjustment arm 216 is rotatably mounted on the side panel 201, and the other end is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 217; the fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 is used for the transmission of the driving device, and the fixed setting ensures the transmission effect, while the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 can be adjusted so that the distance between the fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 and the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 can be adjusted, which can clean PCB boards of different thicknesses on the one hand, and clamp the surface of the PCB board on the other hand to improve the cleaning effect.

[0029] In some examples of the present invention, a third adjusting arm 2102 is provided at one end of the sticky paper roll 209 extending out of the side plate 201; the other end of the third adjusting arm 2102 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the movable plate 2102; a third cylinder 2101 is provided on the outer side of the movable plate 210; the output end of the third cylinder 2101 is connected to the middle part of the third adjusting arm 2102, and when the third cylinder 2101 is working, the third adjusting arm 2102 can be driven to move, and when the piston end of the third cylinder 2101 is extended, the third adjusting arm 2102 can drive the sticky paper roll 209 to approach the main sticky rubber roller 208, and vice versa.

[0030] In some examples of the present invention, the driving device includes a motor 202; the motor 202 is installed on the inner side of one of the side plates 201; the outer side of the side plate 201 provided with the motor 202 is provided with a reduction box 203 which is transmission-connected to the motor 202; a driving wheel 204 is installed at the output end of the reduction box 23; a group of fixed dust-sticking rubber rollers 2081 close to the motor 202 are provided with a first driven wheel 215 at one end extending out of the side plate 201; a first transmission belt 205 is provided between the first driven wheel 215 and the driving wheel 204; a group of fixed dust-sticking rubber rollers 2081 away from the motor 202 are provided with a second driven wheel 213 at one end extending out of the side plate 201; the two groups of the A second transmission belt 214 is provided between the fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081; the second transmission belt 214 is connected to the second driven wheel 213; when the motor 202 is started, the motor 202 transmits power to the reduction box 203; the reduction box 203 transmits power to the driving wheel 204, and the driving wheel 204 drives the first driven wheel 215 to rotate through the first transmission belt 205, thereby driving a group of fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081 close to the motor 202 to rotate, and a group of fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081 close to the motor 202 drives the second driven wheel 213 to rotate through the second transmission belt 214 to drive a group of fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081 far from the motor 202 to rotate.

[0031] In some examples of the present invention, the acute angle formed by the support plate 4 and the upper surface of the cleaning chassis 2 is greater than 75°, and is preferably 80° in certain embodiments of the present invention. The support plate 4 adopts this angle so that when the PCB board enters through the feed port 5, it can support the PCB board, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the workers. At the same time, this angle is conducive to the lifting or lowering of the PCB board, which is more convenient to use with manual operation and can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0032] In certain embodiments of the present invention, a sensor for detecting the rise or fall of the PCB board is provided inside the cleaning machine chassis 2. The sensor controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 202 to achieve the lifting or lowering of the PCB board, and the sensor controls the operation of the first cylinder 211, the second cylinder 217 and the third cylinder 2101 to achieve the clamping and cleaning operation of the PCB board.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, the PCB board to be cleaned is placed into the feed port 5 along the support plate 4. After the lower end of the PCB board is clamped by the upper clamping roller 206, it slides downward along the support plate 4 under the action of the gravity of the PCB board. When the PCB board reaches the lower clamping roller 207, the first cylinder 211 works to make the first adjustment arm 212 move downward. At this time, the lower clamping roller 207 completes the clamping of the PCB board under the action of the first adjustment arm 212. The PCB board continues to move downward under the action of the gravity of the PCB board. At this time, the motor 202 works to drive the reduction box 203 to rotate, and the driving wheel 24 outside the reduction box 203 rotates. The fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 is driven to rotate by the driving belt 205, and the two groups of fixed sticky rubber rollers 2081 are driven by the second driven wheel 213. At the same time, the second cylinder 217 works and contracts so that the second adjustment arm 216 drives the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 to approach the fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 to achieve clamping and cleaning of the PCB board. Impurities on the surface of the PCB board can be removed during the rotation process. Since it is vertically arranged, the influence of the gravity of the PCB board on the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 and the fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 is minimized, and the gravity of the PCB board is also avoided to reduce the fatigue strength of the single-side rubber roller; During the process, since the movable sticky rubber roller 2082 and the fixed sticky rubber roller 2081 will be covered with impurities after working for a period of time, the viscosity will be reduced and insufficient to absorb the impurities of the clean PCB board behind. Therefore, it is necessary to start the third cylinder 2101 during use to extend the output end of the cylinder. Since one end of the third adjustment arm 2102 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the movable plate 2102, the output end of the cylinder 2101 is extended to drive the sticky paper roll 209 to move inward until the sticky paper roll 209 is connected with the main sticky rubber roller 208. At this time, the sticky paper roll 209 can take away the impurities on the main sticky rubber roller 208 to ensure that the main sticky rubber roller 208 is cleaned. The rubber roller 208 maintains good stickiness and continues to work, and the sticky paper roll 209 is arranged on the movable plate 210, and the movable plate 210 is installed on the guide rail. When the cleaning effect is reduced, the movable plate 210 together with the sticky paper roll 209 can be pulled out for processing, thereby ensuring the cleaning quality of the cleaning machine, and at the same time making the operation of the cleaning machine simpler and more convenient, and the cleaning efficiency is higher. The present invention is suitable for the cleaning of panels before the operation of manual exposure machines and semi-automatic exposure machines, which solves the defects of the reciprocating cleaning machines commonly used in the market that they occupy a large space and waste a lot of workshop space. The device has a compact structure, occupies a small space, and is simple and convenient to use.
