Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PCB boards, and in particular to a method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency, a computer storage medium and a backdrill machine. Background Art

[0002] As the number of PCB layers increases, the thickness of the board increases, and the precision increases, the requirements for back drilling are also increasing, and the number of back drill holes is gradually increasing. In PCB boards, the drilling depth control will also vary due to the different board thicknesses and dielectric thicknesses in different areas. The deeper the back drilling, the more holes penetrated, the more difficult it is to control. In order to improve the back drilling capability, the back drilling machine has designed a mapping function. The mapping function adjusts the depth of the drilling hole so that the back drilling can still control the hole depth better when penetrating multiple layers. However, the existing depth control method still has shortcomings: if the depth control function is used for drilling, all target holes on the PCB board are obtained using the depth control mapping function. In actual production, for holes with shallow back drilling and fewer layers penetrated, the mapping function can be used to meet the production requirements. However, the existing depth control drilling method undoubtedly reduces the drilling efficiency and is not conducive to improving production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency. The method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency can efficiently perform backdrilling by using the function of depth control mapping.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. According to the depth of the back-drilled holes, the back-drilled holes are divided into first-type drilled holes and second-type drilled holes on the drill belt. The first-type drilled holes are obtained by the depth control function mapping of the back-drilling machine, and the second-type drilled holes do not use the depth control function mapping of the back-drilling machine, wherein the depth of the first-type drilled holes is greater than the depth of the second-type drilled holes;

[0007] S2. Place aluminum sheets and pads on the back drill from top to bottom, start the back drill, and drill toward the aluminum sheet from top to bottom. When the drill needle of the back drill touches the aluminum sheet, the back drill stops and records the height h1.

[0008] h1 is the height corresponding to a hole position in the first type of drilling holes, and the back drilling machine repeats the operation to obtain the height h1 corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling holes;

[0009] S3. Place the PCB board between the aluminum sheet and the backing plate, and drill the aluminum sheet from top to bottom with the back drill. When the back drill touches the aluminum sheet, the back drill stops and records the height h2, where h2 is the height corresponding to a hole position in the first type of drilling. Repeat the back drill operation to obtain the height h2 corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling.

[0010] S4. Calculate the PCB thickness corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling. The calculation formula is: H = h2-h1,

[0011] In the above, H represents the PCB thickness corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling.

[0012] h2 represents the total thickness of the aluminum sheet, backing plate and PCB board.

[0013] h1 represents the thickness of the aluminum sheet and the backing plate;

[0014] S5. Adjust the drill belt of the back drill to keep the PCB board between the pad and the aluminum sheet. The back drill drills the first type of holes in a depth-controlled mapping manner according to the measured PCB board thickness.

[0015] S6. Replace the drill belt of the back drill rig, and the back drill rig does not use the depth control function mapping method to drill the second type of borehole.

[0016] In some embodiments, the back drill is a schmoll back drill.

[0017] In some embodiments, in step S3, the aluminum sheet is replaced first, and then the PCB board is placed between the aluminum sheet and the pad, and the thickness of the aluminum sheet in step S2 is consistent with that of the aluminum sheet in step S3.

[0018] In some embodiments, in step S5, the aluminum sheet is replaced first, and then the PCB board is kept between the pad and the aluminum sheet. The thickness of the aluminum sheet in step S5 is consistent with that of the aluminum sheet in steps S3 and S2.

[0019] In some embodiments, the feed speed of drilling in steps S2, S3, S5, and S6 is kept consistent.

[0020] Beneficial effects of the method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency of the present invention:

[0021] The method for improving back drilling mapping efficiency of the present invention distinguishes on the drill belt between a first type of drill holes that require depth control function mapping and a second type of drill holes that do not use the depth control function mapping of the back drilling machine, so that only the first type of drill holes need to be mapped with the depth control function, and the second type of drill holes do not need to be mapped with the depth control function. This overcomes the problem in the prior art that all holes need depth control mapping when using the depth control function mapping, effectively reduces the drilling time consumed by mapping, and can ensure the drilling quality.

[0022] A computer storage medium is also provided. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program. When the computer program is read and executed by a processor, the method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency is implemented.

[0023] A back drilling machine is also provided, comprising the above-mentioned computer-readable storage medium. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0029] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used to describe various information in the present invention, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] The method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency disclosed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0032] S1. According to the depth of the back-drilled holes, the back-drilled holes are divided into first-type drilled holes and second-type drilled holes on the drill belt. The first-type drilled holes are obtained by the depth control function mapping of the back-drilling machine, and the second-type drilled holes do not use the depth control function mapping of the back-drilling machine, wherein the depth of the first-type drilled holes is greater than the depth of the second-type drilled holes;

[0033] S2. Place aluminum sheets and pads on the back drill from top to bottom, start the back drill, and drill toward the aluminum sheet from top to bottom. When the drill needle of the back drill touches the aluminum sheet, the back drill stops and records the height h1.

[0034] h1 is the height corresponding to a hole position in the first type of drilling. The back drilling machine repeats the operation to obtain the height h1 corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling. When the drill needle contacts the aluminum sheet, a conductive signal loop will be formed to obtain the corresponding height h1;

[0035] S3. Place the PCB between the aluminum sheet and the backing plate, and drill the aluminum sheet from top to bottom. When the back drill touches the aluminum sheet, it stops and records the height h2, which is the height corresponding to a hole position in the first type of drilling. The back drill repeats the operation to obtain the height h2 corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling. When the drill needle touches the aluminum sheet, a conductive signal loop is formed to obtain the corresponding height h2.

[0036] S4. Calculate the PCB thickness corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling. The calculation formula is: H = h2-h1,

[0037] In the above, H represents the PCB thickness corresponding to each hole position in the first type of drilling;

[0038] S5. Adjust the drill belt of the back drill to keep the PCB board between the pad and the aluminum sheet. The back drill drills the first type of holes in a depth-controlled mapping manner according to the measured PCB board thickness.

[0039] S6. Replace the drill belt of the back drill rig, and the back drill rig does not use the depth control function mapping method to drill the second type of borehole.

[0040] The above-mentioned method for improving the efficiency of back drilling mapping distinguishes on the drill belt between the first type of drill holes that require the use of depth control function mapping and the second type of drill holes that do not use the depth control function mapping of the back drilling machine, so that only the first type of drill holes need to be mapped with the depth control function, and the second type of drill holes do not need to be mapped with the depth control function. This overcomes the problem in the prior art that all holes require depth control mapping when using the depth control function mapping, effectively reduces the drilling time consumed by mapping, and can ensure the drilling quality.

[0041] The more holes are drilled in the second category, the more time can be saved.

[0042] In this embodiment, the back drill is a schmoll back drill.

[0043] In this embodiment, in step S3, the aluminum sheet is replaced first, and then the PCB board is placed between the aluminum sheet and the pad. The thickness of the aluminum sheet in step S2 is consistent with that of the aluminum sheet in step S3.

[0044] When the drill bit contacts the aluminum sheet, a conductive signal loop is formed. During the current sensing signal, the drill bit also drops, causing the aluminum sheet to produce Figure 1 The dot marks that are sunken downwards are the ones where the aluminum sheet has been drilled into the depressions. If the aluminum sheet is not replaced, the height of the holes at the same position will be inconsistent each time, so the aluminum sheet needs to be replaced to increase the accuracy of back drilling.

[0045] In this embodiment, in step S5, the aluminum sheet is replaced first, and then the PCB board is kept between the pad and the aluminum sheet. The thickness of the aluminum sheet in step S5 is consistent with that in steps S3 and S2.

[0046] Similarly, replace the aluminum sheet to improve the accuracy of back drilling.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drilling feed speed in steps S2, S3, S5, and S6 remains consistent.

[0048] The drilling feed speed in each step is kept consistent to maintain the uniformity of the drilling and avoid errors.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] A computer storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is read and executed by a processor, the method for improving backdrill mapping efficiency described in embodiment 1 is implemented.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] The back drilling machine disclosed in this embodiment includes the computer-readable storage medium described in Example 2.

[0053] Effect verification:

[0054] The method for improving back drilling mapping efficiency described in Example 1 is used to perform back drilling, which can drill Figure 2 The outline shown is clear and deep enough to drill deep back holes. Figure 3 The shallow back-drilled holes that meet the specifications are shown. It can be seen that the back-drilling method of the present invention can not only drill holes efficiently, but also ensure the quality of the holes, and is suitable for large-scale production applications.
