[0002] In the FPC flexible printed circuit board industry, the main function of the FPC cover film is similar to that of PCB green paint:
[0003] 1. Protect the copper foil from exposure to air to prevent oxidation;
[0004] 2. Cover the area for subsequent surface treatment. For example, cover areas that do not require gold plating with CVL;
[0005] 3. In subsequent SMT processes, it serves as a solder mask.
[0006] Currently, most large-scale FPC film application on the market is still done manually, with relatively few related equipment available. Manual application results in low production efficiency, poor precision, and high unit costs. To address this issue, it is necessary to design an automated FPC film application device and method. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a roll FPC laminating machine to solve the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in operation of manual film lamination.

[0044] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0045] 1. This invention automates the processes of film loading, tearing, laminating, winding, and cutting. It combines film loading equipment with roll-to-roll FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) equipment to laminate film onto the roll-to-roll FPC. A dual-station film loading and tearing mechanism is employed, with stations one and two simultaneously completing the film loading and tearing operations. From the film hopper to the completion of the tearing action and placement onto the wire mesh box, two films operate simultaneously. The laminating head first picks up and transfers film one provided by station one on the wire mesh box transfer platform. Once the laminating head has moved back above the wire mesh box transfer platform, it then picks up and transfers film two provided by station two. During this process, the roll-to-roll FPC unloading mechanism and the FPC... The C-type winding and cutting structure works in sequence to supply FPC material to film sheet one and to wind or cut the corresponding FPC film assembly. When film sheet two moves to the bonding platform, the roll FPC unloading mechanism supplies FPC material to film sheet two. The bonding, winding or cutting work is carried out in sequence to complete a set of film bonding. Then, station one and station two synchronously supply film sheet one and film sheet two to the wire mesh transfer platform again. The bonding head picks up and transfers film sheet one provided by station one on the wire mesh transfer platform. This cycle is repeated to achieve efficient film bonding. The efficiency is much higher than that of traditional manual film bonding, reducing the unit cost of film bonding.
[0046] 2. The upper frame is mounted on the lower frame along the edge of the lower frame to isolate the internal film peeling mechanism, film application head mechanism, lamination platform, roll FPC unloading mechanism, FPC winding and cutting mechanism, film CCD, FPC CCD, and film NG ejection bin from the outside environment, preventing the production environment from being exposed to the air. During the lamination process, dust in the air can easily affect the lamination effect and reduce the aesthetics of the laminated products.

Detailed Implementation
[0069] A roll FPC coating machine,
[0070] This includes the following components: 1. Lower frame; 2. Upper film peeling mechanism; 3. Film application head mechanism; 4. Lamination platform; 5. Roll material FPC feeding mechanism; 6. FPC winding and cutting mechanism;
[0071] On one side of the upper surface of the lower frame 1, a film peeling mechanism 2 and a film applying head mechanism 3 are arranged sequentially along the length direction. The film peeling mechanism 2 adopts a dual-station arrangement arranged side by side along the width direction. The film applying head mechanism 3 includes an applying head 38 and an applying head moving module 7 extending along the width direction of the lower frame 1. Below the applying head moving module 7, along the width direction, a wire mesh transfer platform 8 of the film peeling mechanism 2 and a bonding platform 4 are arranged sequentially. Along the length direction, a roll FPC feeding structure is provided on one side of the bonding platform 4, and an FPC winding and cutting mechanism 6 is provided on the other side of the bonding platform 4.
[0072] The film peeling mechanism 2 peels the film from the backing paper and conveys the film to the wire mesh transfer platform 8. The bonding head is located on the wire mesh transfer platform 8 on one side of the bonding head moving module 7. The bonding head 38 moves down to pick up the film from the wire mesh transfer platform 8 and then moves up, vertically along the bonding head moving module 7 to the bonding platform 4 on the other side of the module. It then moves down to heat-press the film onto the FPC on the bonding platform 4 to form an FPC film assembly. The roll FPC unloading mechanism 5 is used to supply FPC material to the bonding platform 4. The FPC winding and cutting mechanism 6 is used to wind or cut the FPC film assembly.
[0073] This invention automates the processes of film application, film peeling, film pasting, winding, and cutting. It combines film application equipment with roll-to-roll (FPC) equipment to laminate the film onto the roll-to-roll FPC. A dual-station film application and peeling mechanism 2 is employed, with stations 34 and 35 simultaneously completing the film application and peeling operations. From the film hopper 14 to the completion of the peeling action and placement onto the wire mesh box, two films operate simultaneously. The pasting head first picks up and transfers the first film provided by station 34 on the wire mesh box transfer platform 8. Once the pasting head has moved back above the wire mesh box transfer platform 8, it then picks up and transfers the second film provided by station 35. During this process, the roll-to-roll FPC feeding mechanism 5 and the FPC... The PC winding and cutting structure works in perfect sequence to supply FPC material to film sheet one and to wind or cut the corresponding FPC film assembly. When film sheet two moves to the bonding platform 4, the roll FPC feeding mechanism 5 supplies FPC material to film sheet two. The bonding, winding or cutting work is carried out in sequence to complete a set of film bonding. Then, station one 34 and station two 35 synchronously supply film sheet one and film sheet two to the wire mesh transfer platform 8 again. The bonding head picks up and transmits film sheet one provided by station one 34 on the wire mesh transfer platform 8. This cycle is repeated to achieve efficient film bonding. The efficiency is much higher than that of traditional manual film bonding, reducing the unit cost of film bonding.
[0074] In practice,
[0075] It also includes a diaphragm CCD10, an FPC CCD12, and a diaphragm NG discharge chamber 13;
[0076] Below the mobile module, along the width direction, are arranged a mesh transfer platform 8 for the upper film tearing mechanism 2, a film CCD 10, a bonding platform 4, and an FPC CCD 12. Along the length direction on one side of the upper surface of the lower frame 1, the upper film tearing mechanism 2, the film bonding head mechanism 3, and the film NG throwing bin 13 are arranged in sequence.
[0077] The bonding head 38 moves downward to pick up the film from the cage transfer platform 8 and then moves upward. It moves vertically along the moving module (i.e., horizontally along the width direction, the same below), takes a picture after passing the film CCD 10, and then moves to the bonding platform 4 on the other side of the moving module. The film CCD 10 is used to realize the film photography and positioning, and the film NG throwing bin 13 is used to collect the film that was photographed NG.
[0078] In practice,
[0079] This also includes mounting on the rack;
[0080] The upper frame is mounted on the lower frame 1 along the edge of the lower frame 1 to isolate the internal components such as the upper film tearing mechanism 2, film applying head mechanism 3, bonding platform 4, roll FPC unloading mechanism 5, FPC winding and cutting mechanism 6, film CCD 10, FPCCCD 12, and film NG throwing bin 13 from the outside environment, preventing the production environment from being exposed to the air. During the lamination process, dust in the air can easily affect the lamination effect and reduce the aesthetics of the laminated product.
[0081] In practice,
[0082] The film peeling mechanism 2 also includes a film hopper 14, a film loading robot 15, a mold lifting assembly 16, a film peeling assembly 17, and a film pulling clamp assembly 18;
[0083] A film hopper 14 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the lower frame 1. The film hopper 14 includes a lower lifting motor 19 and an upper film bearing hopper 21 supported by a hopper lifting shaft 20 controlled by the lifting motor 19.
[0084] A membrane loading robot 15 is provided above the membrane material hopper 14. The membrane loading robot 15 includes a membrane moving module 22 and a membrane suction claw 23 connected to the membrane moving module 22.
[0085] The mold-removing assembly 16 is located on the side of the film hopper 14 facing the film application head mechanism 3. The mold-removing assembly 16 includes a film peeling roller 24, a film peeling lifting module 25 that controls the lifting of the film peeling roller 24, and a forward and backward moving module 26 that controls the horizontal movement of the film peeling lifting module 25.
[0086] The film peeling assembly 17 is located on the side of the mold-lifting assembly 16 facing the film-applying head mechanism 3, and includes an upper film feeding roller 27, a lower film feeding roller 28, a vacuum platform 29, an upper waste paper clamping roller 30, and a lower waste paper clamping roller 31. The lower film feeding roller 28 is located below the upper film feeding roller 27, and the vacuum platform 29 is horizontally located below the lower film feeding roller 28. The upper waste paper clamping roller 30 is located at the end of the vacuum platform 29 facing the film-applying head mechanism, and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 is located below the upper waste paper clamping roller 30.
[0087] The membrane clamp assembly 18 includes a membrane clamp 32 and two horizontal moving modules 33 connected to the two ends of the membrane clamp 32 respectively. Two sets of horizontal moving modules 33 are provided and are arranged along the length direction of the upper surface of the lower frame 1. The cage transfer platform 8 is arranged between the two sets of horizontal moving modules 33.
[0088] Working principle of the film peeling mechanism 2: A stack of film sheets is placed into the film carrying chamber 21, and the material is fed upwards little by little by the material lifting shaft 20, thus realizing automatic feeding. The suction nozzle of the film suction claw 23 of the film feeding robot 15 descends to absorb the film sheets, and after absorption, it rises and shakes the material. Then, driven by the film moving module 22, the film sheets are sent into the peeling mechanism. At this time, the upper film feeding roller 27 of the peeling mechanism is in the upper position, that is, the upper and lower film feeding rollers are in the open state. After the film is inserted into the gap between the upper film feeding roller 27 and the lower film feeding roller 28, the upper film feeding roller 27 descends, so that the upper and lower rollers are in the meshing state to clamp the film sheet. The lower film feeding roller 28 rotates to send the film sheet to the bottom of the peeling roller 24 of the film lifting assembly. When the film peeling assembly 17 peels the film, the vacuum platform 29 below vacuum sucks up the bottom paper, and then the peeling roller 24 descends and picks up one edge of the film sheet, so that the bottom paper and the film sheet are separated and the bottom paper is exposed on one side. Next, the platform vacuum is turned off, and the peeling roller 24 moves the film along one edge of the film, causing the bottom paper to be inserted into the gap between the upper waste paper clamping roller 30 and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31. The upper waste paper clamping roller 30 presses down to clamp the bottom paper, and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 rotates. At the same time, the peeling roller 24 moves forward to unfold the rolled-up film edge to the clamping position. Then, the film pulling assembly moves over to clamp the film and pull it towards the transfer platform 8 in the wire mesh box. At the same time, the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 rotates and sends the bottom paper down. The two actions are performed simultaneously. Finally, the film and the bottom paper are separated. The film is pulled onto the wire mesh box platform by the film pulling clamp 32, and the bottom paper is sent down into the bottom paper frame by the upper waste paper clamping roller 30 and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 of the peeling mechanism. This completes one film peeling action.
[0089] The lifting module or horizontal moving module 33 that drives the rollers, robotic arms, etc., is composed of guide rail 39 and slider. The slider moves under the drive of cylinder or motor (the same below).
[0090] In practice,
[0091] The dual-station film application and peeling mechanism 2, arranged side by side, includes a first station 34 and a second station 35. Each station 34 and the second station 35 includes an independent film hopper 14, a film application robot 15, a mold lifting assembly 16, and a film peeling assembly 17. The first station 34 and the second station 35 share a film pulling clamp assembly 18, which is located on the side of the first station 34 and the second station 35 facing the film application head mechanism 3.
[0092] From the membrane hopper 14 to the completion of the film tearing action and placement on the wire mesh box, two films are peeled off simultaneously. The dual-station film tearing mechanism 2 can improve the peeling speed and increase work efficiency.
[0093] In practice,
[0094] The film applicator mechanism 3 includes an applicator moving module 7, an applicator lifting module 36, a rotary motor 37, and an applicator 38;
[0095] The applicator lifting module 36 is movably mounted on the applicator moving module 7, and a rotary motor 37 is disposed below the applicator lifting module 36, and an applicator 38 is disposed below the rotary motor 37.
[0096] The bonding head 38 is used to vacuum-adsorb the film with the peeled backing paper on the wire mesh transfer platform 8, then move it to the photography position to take a picture, and finally move it above the bonding platform 4. The position is corrected by rotating the rotary motor 37 to prepare for film bonding. The bonding head lifting module 36 moves horizontally in the width direction along the bonding head moving module 7. The bonding head moving module 7 moves horizontally in the length direction via the guide rails 39 located on both sides of the upper surface of the lower frame 1. If the film is not photographed (NG), the bonding head mechanism, driven by the horizontal movement of the bonding head moving module 7 in the length direction, moves to the film not photographed (NG) discard bin 13 on one side and puts the film into the film not photographed (NG) discard bin 13. Then, the previous actions are repeated to retrieve the film and take a picture again.
[0097] In practice,

A PPC feeding clamp 43 is provided above the platform rear clamp 41, and the two ends of the PPC feeding clamp 43 are slidably mounted on a clamp moving module 44 along the horizontal direction of the long side of the platform front clamp 42.
[0100] After the FPC unloading mechanism 5 feeds the FPC into the feed buffer, the FPC loading clamp moves to the unloading end, clamps the FPC and pulls it backward, pulling the FPC segment to be bonded onto the bonding platform 4. The platform rear clamp 41 clamps the FPC, the FPC loading clamp releases and returns to the initial position to wait. At this time, the platform front clamp 42 clamps the FPC, and the platform body 40 vacuum opens to suck up the FPC. The FPC CCD12 moves to the mark point on the FPC for photo positioning. After taking the photo, it moves to the waiting position. The clamp moving module 44 drives the PPC loading clamp 43 to move horizontally along the length direction.

[0104] The feeding correction component 46 is used for FPC feeding correction, and the feeding buffer component 47 is used for FPC feeding buffer after correction. The buffer prevents the material from being pulled too much and prevents it from breaking. The FPC feed that has passed through the feeding buffer component 47 is wound on the unloading component 48. The unloading component 48 rotates to unload the rolled material and release the FPC feed into the feeding buffer.

The upper cutting blade 59 is connected to the cutting lifting cylinder 58 above it and is driven by the cutting lifting cylinder 58 to move downward to the lower cutting blade 60 to complete the cutting of the FPC film assembly. The platform telescopic cylinder 61 is located at the bottom of the cutting platform assembly 52 and is used to adjust the height of the cutting platform assembly 52.
[0110] The cutting clamp assembly 50 includes a material clamp 62 and a clamp moving module 63. The clamp moving module 63 drives the material clamp 62 to move horizontally along the side of the cutting clamp assembly 50 in the length direction.
[0111] After being laminated, the FPC enters the receiving buffer. There are two options for receiving: either roll up the FPC or cut it into sheets according to the size specifications. When rolling up the FPC, the FPC coming out of the receiving buffer passes through the receiving correction component 54 and is directly wound up by the winding component 49. When cutting into sheets, the FPC in the receiving buffer is pulled out by the pull clamp 62, and then passes through the receiving correction component 54 for correction, the cutting CCD alignment component 53 for taking pictures and positioning, the cutting platform component 52 for cutting, and finally flows out of the production line.
[0112] The working principle of this application is as follows: A stack of film sheets is placed into the film sheet carrying chamber 21, and the material is fed upwards little by little by the material lifting shaft 20, thus realizing automatic feeding. The suction nozzle of the film suction claw 23 of the film feeding robot 15 descends to absorb the film sheets, and after absorption, it rises and shakes the material. Then, driven by the film moving module 22, the film sheets are sent into the film peeling mechanism. At this time, the upper film feeding roller 27 of the film peeling mechanism is in the upper position, that is, the upper and lower film feeding rollers are in the open state. After the film is inserted into the gap between the upper film feeding roller 27 and the lower film feeding roller 28, the upper film feeding roller 27 descends, so that the upper and lower rollers are in an meshing state to clamp the film sheet. The lower film feeding roller 28 rotates to send the film sheet to the area below the film peeling roller 24 of the film peeling assembly. When the film peeling assembly 17 peels the film, the vacuum platform 29 below vacuum sucks up the backing paper, and then the film peeling roller 24 descends and picks up one edge of the film sheet, so that the backing paper and the film sheet are separated, and one edge of the backing paper is exposed. Next, the platform vacuum is turned off, and the peeling roller 24 moves the film along one edge of the film, causing the bottom paper to be inserted into the gap between the upper waste paper clamping roller 30 and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31. The upper waste paper clamping roller 30 presses down to clamp the bottom paper, and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 rotates. At the same time, the peeling roller 24 moves forward to unfold the rolled-up film edge to the clamping position. Then, the film pulling assembly moves over to clamp the film and pull it towards the transfer platform 8 in the wire mesh box. At the same time, the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 rotates and sends the bottom paper down. The two actions are performed simultaneously. Finally, the film and the bottom paper are separated. The film is pulled onto the wire mesh box platform by the film pulling clamp 32, and the bottom paper is sent down into the bottom paper frame by the upper waste paper clamping roller 30 and the lower waste paper clamping roller 31 of the peeling mechanism. This completes one film peeling action.
[0113] The bonding head is used to vacuum-adsorb the film with the backing paper torn off on the transfer platform 8 of the wire mesh cage, then move it to the photo-taking position to take a picture, and finally move it above the bonding platform 4. The position is corrected by rotating the rotary motor 37 to prepare for film bonding. The bonding head lifting module 36 moves horizontally in the width direction along the bonding head moving module 7. The bonding head moving module 7 moves horizontally in the length direction via the guide rails 39 located on both sides of the upper surface of the lower frame 1. If the film is not photographed (NG), the bonding head mechanism, driven by the horizontal movement of the bonding head moving module 7 in the length direction, moves to the film not photographed (NG) discard bin 13 on one side and puts the film into the film not photographed (NG) discard bin 13. Then, the previous actions are repeated to retrieve the film and take a picture again. After the roll FPC unloading mechanism 5 feeds the FPC into the feed buffer, the FPC loading clamp moves to the unloading end, clamps the FPC, and pulls it backward, pulling the FPC segment to be laminated onto the lamination platform 4. The platform's rear clamp 41 clamps the FPC, the FPC loading clamp releases and returns to its initial position to wait. At this time, the platform's front clamp 42 clamps the FPC, and the platform body 40 vacuum opens to suck up the FPC. The FPC CCD 12 moves to the mark point on the FPC for photographing and positioning. After taking the picture, it moves to the waiting position. The clamp moving module 44 drives the FPC loading clamp 43 to move horizontally along the length direction. After the lamination head and lamination platform 4 are aligned, the lamination head descends to press the film onto the FPC, thus completing one lamination action. The lamination mechanism repeats the previous actions. After lamination, the CCD returns for re-inspection. Once the re-inspection is complete, the roll FPC feeding clamp assembly repeats the previous actions to feed the lamination platform 4. The laminated FPC enters the take-up buffer. There are two options for take-up: either roll up the FPC or cut it into sheets according to the size specifications. When rolling up the FPC, the FPC coming out of the take-up buffer passes through the take-up correction assembly 54 and is directly rolled up by the take-up assembly 49. When cutting into sheets, the FPC in the take-up buffer is pulled out by the pull clamp 62. As it comes out, it passes through the take-up correction assembly 54 for correction, the cutting CCD alignment assembly 53 for taking pictures and positioning, the cutting platform assembly 52 for cutting, and finally flows out of the production line.
