Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of FPC board processing, and specifically to an FPC board reinforcement laminating device and an FPC board laminating method based on the laminating device. Background Art

[0002] Due to its flexibility, thinness, and light weight, flexibility has been widely used in fields such as smartphones and wearable devices. However, the disadvantages of easy bending and insufficient connection reliability of FPC still restrict its further application. To improve the performance and reliability of FPC, the reinforcement laminating technology is widely adopted. Its main principle is to laminate reinforcement materials, such as film materials or reinforcing materials, at key positions of the FPC to enhance its strength, stiffness, and bending tolerance.

[0003] The existing FPC reinforcement laminating methods mainly rely on manual operation, which has problems such as low efficiency, high cost, inability to achieve precise positioning, repeatability, and consistency, and it is difficult to meet the production requirements of high-end electronic products. Currently, the FPC reinforcement attachment technology mainly relies on manual operation, with low operation efficiency, high working intensity, and it is difficult to ensure the lamination accuracy and consistency. Moreover, most of the existing FPC reinforcement laminating devices can only reinforce a single position of the FPC and cannot meet the requirements of reinforcing and laminating multiple different positions. Most of the existing automated devices only achieve partial automated functions, such as only automatic conveying or positioning, lacking a fully automated reinforcement laminating solution.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technology and device that can achieve FPC reinforcement laminating automation, precise positioning, high speed, high efficiency, low cost, and can simultaneously reinforce and laminate different positions of the same FPC board. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention proposes an FPC board reinforcement laminating device and an FPC board laminating method based on the laminating device to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An FPC board reinforcement laminating device includes a workbench, on which a positioning and dust removal mechanism and an FPC board lifting mechanism are provided. The middle part of the positioning and dust removal mechanism is hollow. The top of the FPC board lifting mechanism is used to carry the FPC board and can lift through the hollow part of the positioning and dust removal mechanism. The positioning and dust removal mechanism is used to detect, position and remove dust from the board on the FPC board lifting mechanism. Above the FPC board lifting mechanism, an adjustable laminating mechanism is also provided. On both sides of the adjustable laminating mechanism, multiple groups of reel sets are provided. Reinforcement board coils are wound on each reel set, and the pressure-receiving surface of the reinforcement board coil is in contact with the stamping end of the adjustable laminating mechanism. The FPC board lifting mechanism can lift the FPC board to move close to the adjustable laminating mechanism for reinforcement board laminating processing.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning and dust removal mechanism includes a fixed plate fixed on the workbench. On the top of the fixed plate, a positioning frame with a hollow middle and a square structure is provided. The four side surfaces inside the positioning frame are all inclined surfaces, and moving grooves are provided on the front and rear opposite sides of the positioning frame, and placing grooves are provided on the left and right opposite sides of the positioning frame. The hollow part of the positioning frame can be replaced with other special-shaped positioning frames such as square and concave-shaped to adapt to the matching positioning of different FPC boards.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes an electrostatic dust removal rod. Connecting rods are provided at both ends of the electrostatic dust removal rod and are respectively slidably inserted into the two moving grooves of the positioning frame. An electric telescopic rod I is provided on the workbench, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod I is fixedly connected to the adjacent connecting rod. The telescopic direction of the electric telescopic rod I is the same as the moving direction of the connecting rod in the moving groove.

The electrostatic dust removal rod and the electric telescopic rod I are both connected to a controller. The electrostatic dust removal rod can be retracted into the placing groove to prevent blocking the up and down movement of the receiving plate. At the same time, the dust suction sticker can adsorb and collect the dust that falls after the electrostatic dust removal rod stops working to prevent the dust from spreading. The dust suction sticker is pasted in the dust collection groove by means of pasting at the bottom, which is convenient for replacement. The electrostatic dust removal rod is an existing mature technology and is not uniquely defined here.

[0010] Preferably, the FPC board lifting mechanism includes a plurality of spring bases fixed on the workbench. Each spring base is provided with a telescopic spring.

The four sides of the receiving plate are shorter than the four inner sides of the positioning frame. A plurality of contact sensors are also provided on the top of the receiving plate. The electric telescopic rod II and the contact sensors are both electrically connected to the controller. The receiving plate passes through the middle of the positioning frame through the electric telescopic rod II and approaches the adjustable fitting mechanism for fitting processing. The area of the top of the receiving plate is smaller than the area of the hollow part of the positioning frame, so that the receiving plate can pass through the positioning frame and move up and down. The telescopic spring provides a buffering effect when the punch fits the FPC board and the reinforcing plate coil, preventing the FPC board from being damaged. The number of electric telescopic rods II is four, which are respectively fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the receiving plate. The number and position of the contact sensors can be adjusted according to the shape of the FPC board to detect different-shaped FPC boards respectively. When all the contact sensors are in contact with the FPC board, it means that the FPC board is accurately conveyed onto the receiving plate. Otherwise, it means that the position of the FPC board is deviated, and the controller is used to remind the staff to check.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustable fitting mechanism includes a groove plate. A support plate is provided on the workbench. The groove plate is fixed on the upper part of the support plate. A plurality of strip-shaped grooves are opened on the groove plate. A slide bar can be slidably installed in each strip-shaped groove. The lower end of each slide bar extends below the strip-shaped groove and is fixed with an adjustment box.

[0012] Preferably, a communicating groove that communicates with each other is provided on one side surface and the bottom surface of the adjustment box. A hydraulic rod is inserted into the communicating groove on the bottom surface of the adjustment box.

A punch is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic rod. One or more adjustment boxes can be arranged in the strip-shaped groove and can be replaced according to the needs of reinforcing plate fitting. The opening direction of the communicating groove is perpendicular to the opening direction of the strip-shaped groove in the horizontal direction. The hydraulic rod and the punch can be moved at multiple angles in the plane position through the communicating groove and the strip-shaped groove to realize the reinforcing fitting of multiple different reinforcing plates to the same FPC board at the same time. The compression nut is threadedly connected to the top of the hydraulic rod, and the compression nut passes through the top of the hydraulic rod and contacts the inner wall of the adjustment box to fix the position of the hydraulic rod.

[0013] Preferably, the reel group includes a winding reel, a coil reel and a transition reel. The coil reel and the transition reel are located on the same side of the adjustable fitting mechanism, and the winding reel is located on the other side of the adjustable fitting mechanism opposite thereto. The reinforcing plate coil is wound on the coil reel, and the reinforcing plate coil bypasses the transition reel and is wound on the winding reel.

[0014] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixed on the workbench. A plurality of bearing seats are provided on the fixing frame. Bearing rods are connected between each of the bearing seats and the support plate. Each of the winding drums, the coil drums and the transition drums is respectively connected to the corresponding bearing rod. A plurality of drive motors are provided on the support plate. Among them, the bearing rods connected to the winding drums are connected to the drive motors in one-to-one correspondence. The drive motors are electrically connected to the controller.

[0015] Preferably, a feeding conveyor belt is provided on the workbench on one side of the receiving plate, and a discharging conveyor belt is provided on the workbench on the other side of the receiving plate. The height of the feeding end of the feeding conveyor belt is higher than that of the positioning frame. The feeding conveyor belt and the discharging conveyor belt are both electrically connected to the controller. Through the setting of the height difference, the conveying steps of automatic feeding and discharging of the FPC board are realized. The feeding conveyor belt and the discharging conveyor belt are both driven by a conveying motor.

[0016] Preferably, an FPC board reinforcement patch laminating method for an FPC board reinforcement laminating device as described above includes the following steps:

[0017] 1) The FPC board is conveyed onto the top of the receiving plate through the feeding conveyor belt. At the same time, the hypotenuse inside the positioning frame limits and positions the position of the FPC board. When all the contact sensors detect contact with the FPC board, it means that the FPC board accurately falls on the receiving plate;

[0018] 2) The first electric telescopic rod works, and drives the static electricity dust removal rod to move along the moving groove through the connecting rod and sweep across the upper surface of the FPC board. During this period, the static electricity dust removal rod works to remove dust from the surface of the FPC board until it enters the placement groove. The static electricity dust removal rod stops working so that the dust adsorbed on the surface of the static electricity dust removal rod falls into the dust collection groove;

[0019] 3) The second electric telescopic rod works to drive the receiving plate to rise, thereby raising the FPC board close to the reinforcement board coil and the punch. The hydraulic rod works to press down the punch. The punch works to laminate the reinforcement board on the reinforcement board coil onto the FPC board to complete the lamination. After the hydraulic rod resets, the drive motor works to drive the winding drum to rotate to wind up the laminated reinforcement board coil;

[0020] 4) The second electric telescopic rod on the side close to the discharging conveyor belt retracts and resets, causing the receiving plate to tilt toward the discharging conveyor belt side, so that the laminated FPC board falls onto the discharging conveyor belt for discharging. Subsequently, all the electric conveyor belts two reset to within the positioning frame and repeat the above operations to laminate the FPC board.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The FPC board reinforcement bonding device of the present invention realizes automatic positioning and position adjustment when the FPC board moves to the receiving plate by setting a positioning and dust removal mechanism, improving the bonding accuracy. When all contact sensors are in contact with the FPC board, it means that the FPC board is accurately conveyed to the receiving plate. Otherwise, it means that the position of the FPC board is deviated. The controller reminds the staff to check, playing the role of automatic detection. The hydraulic rod and the punch can move at multiple angles in the plane position through the communication groove and the strip-shaped groove, realizing the reinforcement bonding of different reinforcing plates at different positions of the same FPC board at the same time. Its dust suction sticker can adsorb and collect the dust that falls after the electrostatic dust removal rod stops working, preventing the dust from spreading. The telescopic spring provides a buffering effect when the punch bonds the FPC board and the reinforcing plate coil, preventing the FPC board from being crushed. The overall device has a simple structure and can easily integrate multiple processes such as feeding, detection, positioning, dust removal, bonding, and discharging.

[0023] The FPC board reinforcement patch bonding method of the present invention is realized based on the integration of feeding, detection, positioning, dust removal, bonding, and discharging of the device, which can automatically complete the reinforcement bonding work of the FPC board, can perform reinforcement bonding at multiple different positions on the same FPC board at the same time, reduce manual participation, and thus speed up the processing efficiency and improve the accuracy of the reinforcement board bonding.
