Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of PCB production equipment, and in particular to an AOI device for detecting conformal coatings of circuit boards through a board turning system. Background Art

[0002] Under the chemical, vibration, high dust, salt spray, humidity and high temperature environment of industrial sites, PCB may produce corrosion, softening, deformation, mildew and other problems, leading to circuit failure of circuit board. Conformal coating is a specially formulated transparent coating that forms a protective film with three protections (moisture-proof, salt spray-proof and mildew-proof) on the surface of the circuit board, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit board, increasing its safety factor and ensuring its service life.

[0003] At present, the quality inspection of PCB conformal coating mainly relies on manual observation under ultraviolet light. This method is easily affected by the subjective factors of the inspectors and cannot guarantee the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection. At the same time, the inspectors are in an ultraviolet light environment for a long time, which poses a threat to their health. Therefore, it is necessary to design a system that can detect the quality of PCB double-sided conformal coating.

[0004] The prior art (Announcement No.: CN108982539A, Announcement Date: 2018.12.11) discloses a PCB double-sided conformal coating quality inspection system and method, which realizes the automatic inspection of conformal coating quality, and realizes double-sided inspection through a flip module, shortens the assembly line length, and reduces costs; and compared with the manual visual inspection method, it can well eliminate the influence of subjective factors of the inspection personnel, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

[0005] However, in the above scheme, the distance between the two side tracks inside the equipment cannot be changed, and it can only be applied to circuit boards of a single width. The scope of application is small, and the equipment needs to be customized according to circuit boards of different widths, which is costly. Secondly, the above scheme only transports PCBs through guide rails, without any clamping components, which causes the side of the circuit board to slide on the guide rails easily, thereby affecting the accuracy of automatic detection. Furthermore, it only uses a single-sided flipping mechanism to flip the circuit board. Due to the poor load-bearing capacity of a single flipping mechanism, the equipment will bend and deform to one side after long-term use, which will seriously affect the service life of the equipment.
