[0049] Embodiment one

[0050] The embodiment of the present application provides a PCB stacking supporting equipment, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a PCB stacking supporting equipment provided by the embodiment one of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The PCB stacking supporting equipment comprises:

[0051] a production control system, a first plate collecting machine 60, a first punching machine 40, a first plate placing machine 20, a multi-station supporting machine 10, a second plate placing machine 30, a second punching machine 50 and a second plate collecting machine 70; wherein the production control system is in communication connection with the first plate collecting machine 60, the first punching machine 40, the first plate placing machine 20, the multi-station supporting machine 10, the second plate placing machine 30, the second punching machine 50 and the second plate collecting machine 70; and the first plate collecting machine 60, the first punching machine 40, the first plate placing machine 20, the multi-station supporting machine 10, the second plate placing machine 30, the second punching machine 50 and the second plate collecting machine 70 are arranged in a straight line in sequence.

[0056] The second punching machine 50 is used for receiving the sixth production instruction sent by the production control system, confirming the second punching machine die size according to the sixth production instruction, and transmitting the pre-aligned PCB core board to the second plate placing machine 70 after punching.

[0057] The first plate placing machine 60 is used for receiving the seventh production instruction sent by the production control system, confirming the length-width size information of the PCB core board according to the seventh production instruction, and collecting and transferring the punched PCB core board with the confirmed length-width size information to the first carrier.

[0059] The production control system is used for sending the first production instruction, the second production instruction, the third production instruction, the fourth production instruction, the fifth production instruction, the sixth production instruction, the seventh production instruction and the eighth production instruction to the multi-station matching machine 10, the first plate placing machine 20, the second plate placing machine 30, the first punching machine 40, the second punching machine 50, the first plate placing machine 60 and the second plate placing machine 70. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the production control system can be used to integrate the production process, resources and data on the production line to improve production efficiency and quality, and reduce production cost. After the PCB core board completes the pattern transfer, it is transported to the repair waiting area by the transplanting machine or conveying mechanism or multiple AGV trolleys for automatic optical detection (AOI) and repair (VRS) before being transported to the multi-station matching machine 10. According to the production instruction of the production control system, the various types of PCB core boards in the matching processing area are transported to the corresponding multi-station matching machine 10 by the transplanting machine or conveying mechanism or multiple AGV trolleys, and the different types of PCB core boards are transported to the corresponding multi-station matching machine 10. For example, the multi-station matching machine includes multiple machine positions, and different types of PCB core boards can be transported to multiple machine positions, and each type of PCB core board is placed in a machine position.

[0060] Specifically, the multi-station matching machine 10 is used to receive the first production instruction and the second production instruction sent by the production control system. The first production instruction can be a storage instruction for various types of PCB core boards, and the multi-station matching machine 10 is used to store multiple types of PCB core boards according to the first production instruction, for example, each type of PCB core board can be placed in a machine position. The second production instruction can be a transmission instruction for multiple types of PCB core boards, including the direction, quantity and type of transmission; according to the second production instruction, multiple types of PCB core boards are transmitted to the first board placing machine 60 in the direction of the multi-station matching machine 10 pointing to the first board placing machine 60 according to the preset sequence information, and multiple types of PCB core boards are transmitted to the second board placing machine 70 in the direction of the multi-station matching machine 10 pointing to the second board placing machine 70 according to the preset sequence information, and the preset sequence information is the sequence information of product board placing; the bidirectional matching automation connection design can be realized, so that the same product bidirectional matching, single product matching and different product bidirectional matching can be realized, flexible scheduling can be realized, and the production efficiency can be improved. In addition, based on product upgrading (increasing the number of layers), the number of stations of the multi-station matching machine 10 can be increased, and the overall product matching capability can be increased. According to the preset board placing scheme, the tediousness of manual operation is greatly reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0061] The first plate placing machine 20 is configured to receive a third production instruction sent by the production control system, and the second plate placing machine 30 is configured to receive a fourth production instruction sent by the production control system. The third production instruction and the fourth production instruction can be instructions for confirming the PCB core plate length and width size information, the target point size and the target point position information. By calling the PCB core plate length and width size information in the production control system and comparing the PCB core plate length and width size information with the corresponding target point size and target point position information, the information is confirmed to be correct. After the PCB core plate length and width size information, the target point size and the target point position information are confirmed, the first plate placing machine 20 pre-positions the PCB core plate with the confirmed PCB core plate length and width size information, the target point size and the target point position information at a preset position and then transmits the PCB core plate to the first punching machine 40. The second plate placing machine 30 is also configured to pre-position the PCB core plate with the confirmed PCB core plate length and width size information, the target point size and the target point position information at a preset position and then transmit the PCB core plate to the second punching machine 50. The preset position is the position where the PCB core plate is placed in the first plate placing machine 20 and the second plate placing machine 30. The position information of the PCB core plate in the first plate placing machine 20 and the second plate placing machine 30 is automatically identified to determine whether the position information corresponds to the target point position, so that automatic adjustment is performed, the error of manual operation is reduced, and the positioning accuracy is improved.

The fifth production instruction can be an instruction for confirming the first punching machine die size, so that the first punching machine 40 can punch according to the die size. The second punching machine 50 is configured to receive a sixth production instruction sent by the production control system. The fifth production instruction can be an instruction for confirming the second punching machine die size, so that the second punching machine 50 can punch according to the die size. For example, if the same product is a high multi-layer PCB board with bidirectional matching, the first punching machine die size and the second punching machine die size are the same, and the same set of products uses the same set of dies for punching, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the high multi-layer PCB product. If the same product is a high multi-layer PCB board with bidirectional matching, the first punching machine die size and the second punching machine die size are different, so that flexible production can be realized, and the idle waiting of the matching station can be avoided.
