Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of circuit board manufacturing, and in particular relates to a PCB design and processing technology for a multi-model mixed-plate. Background Art

[0002] As the primary raw material for PCB production, sheet metal accounts for over 70% of total production costs. However, the PCB industry's utilization rate of sheet metal in converting finished products is still very low, averaging less than 80%.

[0003] Currently, the only way to improve board utilization is to minimize margins during cutting and layout. This leads to the following problems: The CCD alignment mark points on the board edge may not be fully covered by the dry film, or may not be covered at all, resulting in incomplete marks and directly affecting the alignment of the outer layer exposure. Furthermore, this can cause abnormal hole cracking in the positioning holes, making solder mask exposure and positioning difficult. Furthermore, the layout on the board is asymmetrical, and when the solder mask ink is double-sided screen printed, the copper surface of the circuit or pad may be damaged by the nail bed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that improving the utilization rate of the board material can only be achieved by minimizing the margin when cutting and layout, resulting in low board material utilization, single board single part number production, high production cost and low production efficiency, and to propose a PCB design and processing technology for multi-model mixed-plate.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a PCB design and processing process for a multi-model mixed version, which includes the following steps:

[0006] 1) Determine the plate specifications and arrange the positions of the first ring-shaped materials symmetrically on the plate, with the positions of the first ring-shaped materials in two adjacent rows being staggered;

[0007] 2) The middle of the first ring-shaped material is a round cake waste area, and the second ring-shaped material is embedded and laid out on the round cake waste area;

[0008] 3) Processing the circuit board at the layout position according to the structures of the first ring-shaped material and the second ring-shaped material;

[0009] 4) synchronously performing electrical measurements on the first and second ring-shaped materials;

[0010] 5) Blanking the middle portion of the second ring-shaped material, and then blanking the second ring-shaped material;

[0011] 6) performing blanking processing on the first annular material;

[0012] 7) After passing the appearance inspection, the products will be packaged and put into storage.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] In the steps 1) and 2), at least two types of ring-shaped materials are arranged on the plate.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] In the step 3), the processing steps of the circuit board include: cutting - inner layer circuit - pressing - drilling - PTH electroplating - outer layer circuit - solder mask - text - tin spraying - electrical testing - molding.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] In step 5) to step 6), a milling cutter with a diameter of 1.8 mm is used to perform milling processing on the plate.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] In the step 4), the first annular material and the second annular material are synchronously subjected to an electrical measurement process.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] In the step 6), the outer shape of the first annular material or the second annular material is milled, and the surface is cleaned after the milling is completed.

[0023] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0024] In steps 5) to 6), a gap is left between the outer wall of the second annular material and the first annular material, and the material is blanked by laser cutting to ensure that the width of the gap is not less than the spot diameter of the laser acting on the plate.

[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0026] The distances between any two adjacent first annular materials in different columns are equal.

[0027] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] In the present invention, by staggering the first annular materials of two adjacent columns and embedding at least one small-sized material in the middle of the first annular material, materials of multiple specifications are processed simultaneously on the same plate, avoiding the tedious process of separate processing, and making full use of the waste area. This greatly improves the utilization rate of the plate while keeping the edge size of the plate unchanged, greatly improves production efficiency, reduces production costs, avoids incomplete MARK points or direct impact on the outer layer exposure alignment and the inability to align, and also avoids asymmetric layout on the board surface and abnormal situation in which the circuit or the copper surface of the pad is crushed by the nail bed when the solder mask ink is double-sided silk screened.
