SUMMARY

[0027] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present application.
[0028] As Figure 1 shown, it is a up / down drilling alignment method flow chart of large-size circuit board of the present application, Figure 2 is a printed circuit board structure schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0029] Specifically includes the following steps:
[0030] Step 1. Design the corresponding data of up / down according to the data of the circuit board;
[0031] Step 2. Inner layer processing procedure;
[0032] Step 3. Normal pressing processing procedure;
[0033] Step 4. Use X-ray machine, drill four CCD holes corresponding to the inner layer pad pattern of the board edge according to the target shooting method;
[0034] Step 5. Use up / down method when drilling, grab the CCD alignment hole, and after confirming the expansion and contraction through the correction hole, drill the inner hole of the board and the four corner holes of the auxiliary edge outside the board (the data outside the board);
[0035] Step 6. Electroplating processing procedure;
[0036] Step 7. Outer layer pattern transfer processing procedure;
[0037] Step 8. Solder mask and subsequent procedures.
[0038] Referring to Figures 2-6 shown, the present application provides a up / down drilling alignment method of large-size circuit board, taking the non-important hole position above the auxiliary edge outside the board as an example, the specific implementation process of the above steps is as follows:
[0039] The data design in step 1 specifically includes:
[0040] 1a. With the center point of the board as the center, design four circular pads on the inner layer board outside data within the range of the drilling machine CCD capture, which are used as the CCD alignment holes for the up / down program when drilling, wherein the upper two circular pads are within the CCD movement range of the drilling machine table from the lower edge of the board outside auxiliary edge, and the lower two circular pads are within the CCD movement range of the drilling machine table from the upper edge of the board outside auxiliary edge.
[0041] 1b. Increase the inner layer data at the four corners of the board within the up / down program range, which are used as the correction holes for the up / down program when drilling; note that the upper two correction holes in the down program are within the worktable size of the drilling machine table from the lower edge of the board outside auxiliary edge, and the lower two correction holes in the up program are within the worktable size of the drilling machine table from the upper edge of the board outside auxiliary edge.
[0042] In step 4, use the X-ray machine table to drill the four holes corresponding to the inner layer pad pattern at the board edge according to the target hitting mode, that is, the CCD alignment holes for drilling.
[0043] In step 5, use the drilling machine with a CCD lens, and the up / down program is based on the four holes drilled in step 4 corresponding to the inner layer pad pattern at the board edge as the alignment holes, so that the up / down program hole position and the shrinkage are consistent; through the inner layer pad data at the four corners of the board within the up / down program range as the correction holes, confirm that there is no error, and then drill all the holes in the board.
[0044] In the implementation process, if the unimportant hole position in the circuit board is above the center line of the circuit board, the up program only contains the unimportant hole position, the coverage area is relatively small, and it is set as a small area program, and the remaining program is the down program, which is set as a large area program; if the unimportant hole position in the circuit board is below the center line of the circuit board, the down program only contains the unimportant hole position, the coverage area is relatively small, and it is set as a small area program, and the remaining program is the up program, which is set as a large area program.
[0045] The up program drills two outer layer pattern exposure alignment holes above the board outside auxiliary edge, and the down program drills two outer layer exposure alignment holes below the board outside auxiliary edge.
[0046] In step 7, the exposure alignment holes need to use the up / down program in step 5 to drill four alignment holes above and below the board outside auxiliary edge, so that the drilling program and the outer layer exposure data shrinkage value are consistent, and the matching degree of the pattern and the hole is guaranteed.
[0047] The application provides a new up / down drilling system and method, taking the center of the plate as the center origin of the up / down drilling program, and setting two programs as a large one and a small one, so that the CCD program head of the small program and the correction hole keep coinciding with the large program, thereby ensuring that the holes drilled by the two programs are as same as the holes drilled by the large program, and effectively solving the problem that the outer pattern holes are damaged due to the mismatch of the holes at the joint after the large-size up / down drilling.
[0048] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and in the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should be considered as within the scope of protection of the present application.
