The four CCD visual inspection devices 40 are grouped in pairs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 1. The upper and lower parts of the exposure area 101 are provided with exposure mechanisms 5, which are respectively called upper exposure mechanism and lower exposure mechanism. Through this arrangement, the PCB board and the two films are exposed in the same temperature and humidity environment conditions, which not only improves the production efficiency, but also can achieve better consistency, improve the yield rate, and simplify the equipment structure.

[0092] Among them, there are two double-sided solder resist frames 2, which can be called an upper frame and a lower frame. The Y-axis conveying mechanism 3 includes an upper conveying component and a lower conveying component. The upper frame is installed on the upper conveying component, and the lower frame is installed on the lower conveying component.

[0095] Among them, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the frame opening component 23 is used to allow the upper frame 22 to rotate around its hinged side so that it has an open state and a closed state. Preferably, the frame opening component 23 is arranged on both sides of the upper frame 22 and the bottom frame 20, so that the upper frame 22 is more stable when opened and closed. Specifically, the frame opening component 23 includes a frame opening cylinder 230, a frame opening arm 231 and a frame opening linkage shaft 232.

The initial end of the linkage slide 233 is provided with a guide portion 2330, and the rear end thereof is provided with a limiting portion 2331. When opening the frame, the frame opening cylinder 230 drives the frame opening arm 231 to rotate upward, and the frame opening linkage shaft 232 slides along the rear side of the guide portion 2330 and the linkage slide 233, and the front side of the upper frame 22 is gradually lifted until the upper frame 22 is in an opened state.

Guiding protrusions 281 are arranged on both sides of the front end of the upper frame 22.

[0099] The Y-axis guiding assembly 27 and the X-axis guiding assembly 28 ensure that the upper frame 22 is in a correct position relative to the bottom frame 20 when in the closed state, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent alignment.

[0100] An upper glass 220 is disposed in the middle of the upper frame 22 , and a film sheet is disposed on the lower surface of the upper glass 220 , generally by vacuum adsorption.

An inflation strip 29 is arranged on the outer periphery of the lower glass 210 on the middle frame upper plate 212. The inflation strip 29 is inflated by an air supply device. When the upper frame 22 is in a closed state, a sealed cavity is formed between the upper frame 22 and the middle frame upper plate 212.

[0102] like Fig. 9 As shown, the visual inspection mechanism 4 includes a first movable arm 41, a second movable arm 42, a visual Y-axis conveying assembly 43, a visual X-axis conveying assembly 44 and a visual Z-axis conveying assembly 45.

The second movable arm 42 is connected to the first movable arm 41 through the visual X-axis conveying assembly 44 so that it can move along the X-axis direction. The CCD visual inspection device 40 is connected to the second movable arm 42 through the visual Z-axis conveying assembly 45 so that it can move along the Z-axis direction. Each conveying assembly can adopt a structure of a motor, a synchronous belt, a synchronous wheel and a connecting block, or a structure of a cylinder, a slider and a slide rail, or a structure of a motor, a screw rod and a slider, etc.

[0103] In this embodiment, two sliders are arranged in parallel at one end of the first movable arm 41, and are connected to a slide rail arranged on the frame 1 through the sliders. At the same time, a motor, a synchronous belt and a synchronous wheel are used as driving components, and the synchronous belt is connected to the first movable arm 41 by a connecting block. The double sliders can improve the stability of the first movable arm 41 during movement, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the CCD visual detection device 40.

[0104] Among them, four alignment target points are set on the upper and lower surfaces of the PCB board, respectively called the upper target point and the lower target point, and the two film sheets are respectively called the upper film and the lower film. The upper visual inspection mechanism is used to detect the position deviation between the upper film and the four alignment target points on the upper surface of the PCB board, and the lower visual inspection mechanism is used to detect the position deviation between the lower film and the four alignment target points on the lower surface of the PCB board. Based on the detection result of the visual inspection mechanism 4, the upper alignment component 24 is used to move the middle frame 21 to align the upper film with the upper target point of the PCB board, and the lower alignment component 25 is used to move the middle frame upper plate 212 to align the lower film with the lower target point of the PCB board. Preferably, the upper and lower alignments are carried out simultaneously, which greatly improves the efficiency of the alignment.

[0105] Specifically, Figure 6As shown, the upper alignment component 24 includes two first Y-axis modules 240 and one first X-axis module 241. In the present embodiment, the first Y-axis module 240 and the first X-axis module 241 are both arranged between the middle frame lower plate 211 and the bottom frame 20, wherein the two first Y-axis modules 240 are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle frame lower plate 211 and the front end of the bottom frame 20, and the first X-axis module 241 is arranged on either side of the middle frame lower plate 211 and the rear end of the bottom frame 20.

[0106] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the lower alignment component 25 includes two second Y-axis modules 250 and a second X-axis module 251. In the present embodiment, the second Y-axis module 250 and the second X-axis module 251 are both arranged between the middle frame lower plate 211 and the middle frame upper plate 212, wherein the two second Y-axis modules 250 are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle of the middle frame lower plate 211 and the middle frame upper plate 212, and the second X-axis module 251 is arranged in the middle of the rear ends of the middle frame lower plate 211 and the middle frame upper plate 212. Secondly, the middle of the middle frame lower plate 211 and the front end of the middle frame upper plate 212 is arranged in the middle of the auxiliary module 252 to assist the middle frame upper plate 212 in moving for alignment.

[0107] Among them, the above modules adopt servo alignment system, such as UVW alignment platform. Servo alignment system is an important and key component in the alignment platform. Its accuracy determines the alignment accuracy and speed of the alignment platform. The servo alignment system mainly realizes movement in the X, Y, and Z directions, and rotation around the Z direction. The movement gap in each direction is as small as possible, but the movement in each direction must be smooth and reliable. The ball screw pair, bearings, and linear units are selected with high precision grades, and the connecting shaft and sleeve are precision-machined in pairs. In order to eliminate the matching clearance of the linear unit as much as possible, two sets of linear units are installed in the X and Y directions.

[0108] A PIN needle positioning and adjustment mechanism is provided on the lower plate 211 of the middle frame. The above-mentioned alignment component, PIN needle positioning and adjustment mechanism and related visual alignment methods and algorithms can refer to the semi-automatic solder mask exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN215449885U in the prior art, or a double-sided automatic alignment LED semi-automatic exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN218213788U, or an exposure machine 8CCD double-sided simultaneous alignment method disclosed in the patent with publication number CN105278263B, or an independent solder mask alignment table frame and exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN106054542B, or a PCB exposure machine with correction and equalization alignment method disclosed in the patent with publication number CN103217876B, etc.

[0109] The exposure mechanism 5 includes a light source assembly and a heat dissipation system. The exposure mechanism 5 is fixed to the upper and lower sides of the double-sided solder resist frame 2 entering the exposure area 101 to expose the front and back sides of the PCB board in the double-sided solder resist frame 2 respectively.

[0110] For heat dissipation requirements, the light source assembly is fixedly mounted on the heat dissipation system, and the heat dissipation system is used to dissipate the heat of the light source assembly.

[0111] The heat dissipation system includes an air cooling system and a water cooling system, wherein the water cooling system is in direct contact with the light source assembly, and includes a plurality of coolers interconnected with each other, each cooler being connected by a water cooling pipe, and the light source assembly is fittedly arranged on the lower surface of the cooler to dissipate heat, and a light source control board is arranged on the upper surface of the cooler, which is covered by the air cooling system, and further relies on air cooling to reduce the temperature, adopting a double cooling method, so as to minimize the temperature inside the exposure machine and extend the life of the light source assembly.

[0112] Among them, the light source component 50 adopts an ultraviolet LED lamp array and adopts an array distribution. Specifically, you can refer to a new type of LED ultraviolet exposure machine light source system disclosed in the patent with publication number CN103592821B, or the ultraviolet LED exposure machine optical exposure lighting system and ultraviolet LED exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN103513518B.

[0113] The frame 1 is provided with a shading component, and a partition 6 is provided between the exposure area 101 and the alignment area 100. The shading component is arranged on the partition 6 and forms a sealed exposure space with the frame 1 to reduce the brightness of the exposure area 101 and thereby improve the exposure effect.

[0114] The shading assembly includes an upper shading assembly and a lower shading assembly that are independent of each other. An upper driving mechanism is provided between the upper shading assembly and the machine body, and a lower driving mechanism is provided between the lower shading assembly and the machine body. The design of the two sets of shading assemblies satisfies the independent control of the two-layer double-sided solder mask frame 2, and shortens the time of opening the shading assembly as much as possible, thereby improving the switching speed of the double-sided solder mask frame 2. Regarding the exposure mechanism 5 and the shading assembly, reference can be made to the semi-automatic solder mask exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN215449885U in the prior art.

[0115] Embodiment 2:

[0116] like Figures 10 to 14As shown, based on Example 1, although the first movable arm 41 in the visual inspection mechanism 4 is connected to the double slide rails on the frame 1 through double sliders, since the first movable arm 41 is relatively long and the visual X-axis conveying assembly 44, the visual Z-axis conveying assembly 45 and the CCD visual inspection device 40 arranged thereon are relatively heavy as a whole, especially when the CCD visual inspection device 40 moves on the first movable arm 41, it is easy to cause the first movable arm 41 to tilt and vibrate during the movement, thereby affecting the positioning accuracy.

[0117] Therefore, the frame 1 is provided with an upper reinforcing mechanism 7 and a lower reinforcing mechanism 8, which are used to respectively enhance the stability of the first moving arm 41 in the upper visual inspection mechanism and the lower visual inspection mechanism.

[0118] In this embodiment, the lower reinforcing mechanism 8 includes a lower reinforcing rod 80 arranged along the Y-axis direction, at least one end of the lower reinforcing rod 80 is fixed to the frame 1, and preferably, both ends of the lower reinforcing rod 80 are fixed to the frame 1, and the lower reinforcing rod 80 is arranged in the middle of the four CCD visual detection devices 40 of the lower visual detection mechanism, that is, the four CCD visual detection devices 40 are located on both sides of the lower reinforcing rod 80 in pairs, and lower guide grooves 81 are arranged on both sides of the lower reinforcing rod 80. The four first movable arms 41 in the lower visual detection mechanism are all provided with lower guide wheels, which slide and cooperate with the lower guide grooves 81, and do not affect the smoothness of the movement of the first movable arms 41. By setting the lower reinforcing mechanism 8, the four first movable arms 41 in the lower visual detection mechanism are prevented from tilting when the CCD visual detection device 40 is working, thereby greatly improving the positioning accuracy.

[0119] Secondly, when the upper frame 22 is opened, the four first movable arms 41 of the upper visual inspection mechanism are all moved to the rear of the upper frame 22 to avoid affecting the upward opening of the front side of the upper frame 22. Therefore, in the upper visual inspection mechanism, since the upper frame 22 needs to be opened for loading and unloading, the installation space of the upper reinforcement mechanism 7 is affected.

[0120] In this embodiment, the upper reinforcing mechanism 7 includes a fixed bracket 70, a first stable bracket 71 and a second stable bracket 72. The fixed bracket 70 is fixed to the frame 1, and a linear translation module 73 is arranged on it along the Y-axis direction. The linear translation module 73 is located in the middle of the four first movable arms 41 of the upper visual detection mechanism. Since the four upper target points are generally located at the four corners of the PCB board, the linear translation module 73 is arranged in this way without affecting the illumination of the upper lighting component during detection.

[0121] The linear translation module 73 includes at least one reinforcing slider 730. The linear translation module 73 adopts a high-speed, high-stability mobile module commonly used in the field of automation equipment technology. The first stable bracket 71 is connected to the reinforcing slider 730, or is directly fixed to one end of the fixed bracket 70 close to the partition 6. The ends of the two first moving arms 41 located on the rear side of the upper visual detection mechanism slide and cooperate with the first stable bracket 71. Specifically, a first pulley is provided at the end of the first moving arm 41, and first slide grooves are provided on both sides of the first stable bracket 71 corresponding to the first pulley. Since the two CCD visual detection devices 40 located on the rear side of the upper visual detection mechanism are used to detect the two located on the rear side of the upper target, they only need to move within a certain range. However, in order to facilitate the overall assembly, debugging and maintenance, it is preferred that the first stable bracket 71 is connected to the reinforcing slider 730, but the first stable bracket 71 only needs to be moved to the specified position, and does not need to be moved when the upper frame 22 is opened and closed and the CCD visual detection device 40 is operating. In this embodiment, the connection between the first stable bracket 71 and the reinforcing slider 730 is taken as an example.

[0122] Among them, the fixed bracket 70 includes a first fixed rod 700, a second fixed rod 701 and two fixed vertical rods 702, one end of the first fixed rod 700 is fixed to the partition 6, the second fixed rod 701 is arranged at the other end of the first fixed rod 700 and is perpendicular to it, and both ends of the second fixed rod 701 are connected to the frame 1 through the fixed vertical rods 702.

[0123] Since the two CCD visual detection devices 40 located on the front side of the upper visual detection mechanism need to be moved to the rear of the upper frame 22 when the upper frame 22 is opened, in the present embodiment, the second stable bracket 72 is connected to the reinforcing slider 730, and the ends of the two first movable arms 41 located on the front side of the upper visual detection mechanism slide and cooperate with the second stable bracket 72. Specifically, a first pulley is provided at the end of the first movable arm 41, and first slide grooves are provided on both sides of the second stable bracket 72 corresponding to the first pulley.

[0124] Through the above arrangement, both ends of the first movable arm 41 are effectively supported without affecting the movement of the CCD visual inspection device 40 and the opening and closing of the upper frame 22, which greatly improves the stability and reliability of the CCD visual inspection device 40 during operation.

[0125] In this embodiment, the control system controls the linear translation module 73 so that the first stable bracket 71 and the second stable bracket 72 and the corresponding stable brackets move synchronously or in advance, and it is necessary to avoid collision between the first pulley and the first and end ends of the first slide groove.

[0126] Furthermore, in order to avoid increasing the size of the alignment area 100 in the Y-axis direction, the second stabilizing bracket 72 can be made to at least partially overlap with the first stabilizing bracket 71 when it moves to the rear of the upper frame 22. If overlap is required, the first stabilizing bracket 71 and the second stabilizing bracket 72 can be misaligned in the X-axis direction or the Z-axis direction. Specifically, if it is a conventional setting, a connecting rod should be provided between the first stabilizing bracket 71 and the second stabilizing bracket 72 to connect with the corresponding reinforcing slider 730. However, in this embodiment, in order to better misalign and overlap, the first stabilizing bracket 71 is provided on the upper side of the first stabilizing bracket 71. A first connecting rod 74 is upwardly arranged on the side near the partition 6 and connected to the corresponding reinforcing slider 730, and a second connecting rod 75 is upwardly arranged on the side away from the partition 6 of the second stable bracket 72 and connected to the corresponding reinforcing slider 730, and the first stable bracket 71 and the second stable bracket 72 are misaligned in the Z-axis direction, which can be achieved by setting a length difference between the first connecting rod 74 and the second connecting rod 75. Preferably, the length of the first connecting rod 74 is greater than that of the second connecting rod 75, so that when the second stable bracket 72 moves toward the partition 6, it will be located above the first stable bracket 71 and overlap with it.

[0127] Secondly, an opening 76 is provided on the first connecting rod 74 on the moving track of the second stable bracket 72, and the opening 76 allows the second stable bracket 72 to pass through, so that the size of the alignment area 100 in the Y-axis direction can be minimized, thereby reducing the distance that the double-sided solder mask frame 2 needs to move.

[0128] Another staggered overlapping structure is: the first stable bracket 71 and the second stable bracket 72 are staggered in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, a staggered channel 77 is arranged in the middle of the first stable bracket 71 along the Y-axis direction. When the second stable bracket 72 moves toward the partition 6, the second stable bracket 72 can pass through the staggered channel 77 to overlap with the first stable bracket 71. It should be understood that the staggered channel 77 can also be arranged on the second stable bracket 72. In addition, the staggered position of the first stable bracket 71 and the second stable bracket 72 in the X-axis direction can also be left-right staggered, that is, the second stable bracket 72 passes through one side of the first stable bracket 71.

[0129] Embodiment three:

[0130] like Fig.15As shown, based on the first embodiment and the second embodiment, another upper reinforcing mechanism 7 is proposed, which also includes a fixed bracket 70, and a linear translation module 73 is arranged on the fixed bracket 70 along the Y-axis direction, and the linear translation module 73 is located in the middle of the four first movable arms 41 of the upper visual inspection mechanism, and the linear translation module 73 includes a reinforcing slider 730, and a connecting shaft 780 is arranged downward along the Z-axis direction on the reinforcing slider 730, and the lower end of the connecting shaft 780 is hinged to two stabilizing rods 781, and the two stabilizing rods 781 are hinged to the connecting shaft 780 to form a fork frame, and second pulleys 782 are arranged at both ends of the stabilizing rod 781, and the four first movable arms 41 in the upper visual inspection mechanism are all provided with a side facing the connecting shaft 780 to slide with the second pulley 782. The second slide groove 783 is arranged along the X-axis direction. The CCD visual inspection device 40 is installed on the opposite side of the second slide groove on the first movable arm 41 to avoid affecting the movement of the CCD visual inspection device 40 in the X-axis direction. When the upper visual inspection mechanism is in operation, the reinforcing slider 730 on the linear translation module 73 does not move, and the four first movable arms 41 in the upper visual inspection mechanism move corresponding to the four upper target points. Generally, during inspection, the two first movable arms 41 on the front side and the two first movable arms 41 on the rear side of the upper visual inspection mechanism are far apart. At this time, the end of the stabilizing bar 781 is also close to the end of the first movable arm 41, which just improves the stability of the first movable arm 41, thereby improving the inspection accuracy of the CCD visual inspection device 40.

[0131] Secondly, when it is necessary to open the upper frame 22 for loading and unloading, the control system controls the linear translation module 73 to move the connecting shaft 780 backward. At the same time, the four first movable arms 41 in the upper visual inspection mechanism also move backward synchronously, and the distance between the two first movable arms 41 on the same side is reduced, and the end of the stabilizing rod 781 moves toward the head end of the first movable arm 41.

[0132] Through this arrangement, the fork-type structure can reduce the size of the alignment area 100 in the Y-axis direction to a greater extent after being retracted.

[0133] Embodiment 4:

[0134] In the second and third embodiments, the problem of alignment accuracy is solved by structural improvement, and in the present embodiment, the alignment method is optimized to further improve the alignment accuracy.

[0135] The alignment process of the fully automatic double-sided exposure machine in the first embodiment can be as follows: first, the lower film is placed on the lower glass 210, and the PCB board is placed on the PIN needle positioning and adjustment mechanism, and then the middle frame upper plate 212 is moved by the lower alignment component 25, so that the PCB board and the lower film are aligned, and then the upper frame 22 is closed to move the upper film to above the PCB board, and then the middle frame 21 is moved by the lower alignment component 25, so that the PCB board and the upper film are aligned; of course, it can also be: after the upper film, PCB board and lower film are all placed in the specified position, the upper and lower parts are aligned at the same time, and finally the upper frame 22 and the middle frame upper plate 212 are vacuumed to perform the exposure process.

[0136] However, due to factors such as vacuuming, CCD verticality, and board warping errors, secondary errors may occur. Therefore, secondary deviation correction and alignment are required after vacuuming to achieve higher alignment accuracy.

[0137] However, such repeated alignment and multiple calculations for correction will inevitably lead to longer time and reduced efficiency.

[0138] Based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a high-precision alignment method, which includes a correction alignment module and a prediction module. The correction alignment module refers to the correction equalization alignment method of the PCB exposure machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN103217876B. The correction alignment module can obtain the final coordinate of the correction. ;

[0140] The prediction method of the prediction module includes the following steps:

[0172] Standard deviation of historical offsets in the X direction: ;

[0173] Standard deviation of historical offset in the Y direction: ;

[0174] Step S6: predicting the compensation value of the offset;

[0175] Predicted compensation value of X-direction offset: ;

[0185] Among them, the adjustment coefficient and The optimization method comprises the following steps:

[0186] Step A1: After implementing the prediction method, only one alignment is performed in combination with the compensation value, and then the target coordinates are obtained after vacuuming. The coordinates of the aligned target are , the coordinates of the characteristic target are ;

[0187] Step A2: Calculate the offset;
