[0060] refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 In the prior art, in order to meet the needs of miniaturization, high performance and complexity of electronic equipment, double-sided circuit boards are generally used. Circuits are laid on both surfaces of the double-sided circuit boards. When printing the conductive layer of the circuit connection area of ​​the circuit board, it is necessary to proceed step by step. It is impossible to complete the double-sided printing of the circuit board in the same processing flow, and the manufacturing efficiency is low.

[0061] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention designs a precision printed circuit board processing technology, wherein the screen printing equipment in S2 can realize the automatic flipping function of the circuit board when printing the circuit board, and can complete the printing of both sides of the circuit board in the same process.

[0062] Circuit board material process:

[0063] In actual applications, a lifting platform 24 of the printing section 2 places the circuit board to be processed through an external manipulator, and the rotating shaft 11 of the flip section 1 drives the clamping mechanism 21 to move to the top of the lifting platform 24. At this time, the current inside the right-angle block 216 is disconnected, the electromagnets at both ends of the adjacent right-angle blocks 216 lose their magnetic force, and the spring group 215 in a compressed state on the outside of the fixed block 214 loses the extrusion force and quickly bounces to both sides. The lifting platform 24 starts to run, driving the circuit board to rise, until the circuit board is in the middle of the upper and lower triangles 217 and then stops running. At this time, the current inside the right-angle block 216 starts to flow, and the electromagnets at both ends of the adjacent right-angle blocks 216 are quickly attracted. The magnetic force of the electromagnet is greater than the pressure of the spring group 215. The pair of right-angle blocks 216 on the outer surface of the slide rail rod 213 are quickly approached to the fixed block 214 by the port electromagnet, and the pair of right-angle blocks 216 ports on both sides of the magnetic suction block 212 are also affected by magnetism, and their adjacent two ends are respectively attracted to the positive and negative poles on both sides of the magnetic suction block 212, driving the slide rail rods 213 on both sides to synchronously approach the magnetic suction block 212 in the slide groove of the fixed frame 211. At this time, the four directions of the circuit board are clamped and positioned by the right-angle block 216, and the fixed block 214 and the magnetic suction block 212 are both set in the middle of the adjacent right-angle block 216, so the right-angle block 216 can be squeezed toward the circuit board axially symmetrically under the influence of magnetic force. The lifting platform 24 returns to its initial height, and at the same time, the driving motor under the rotating shaft 11 starts to run, and the rotating shaft 11 starts to rotate, driving the output shaft 12 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the lower surface of the special-shaped groove 16 opened at the output shaft 12 fits with the upper surface of the hollow column 14, and the rotating shaft 11 drives the clamping mechanism 21 to move 90 degrees counterclockwise to just above the lifting mechanism 23.

[0064] Single-sided printing process of circuit board:

[0065] After the rotating shaft 11 stops rotating, the lower surface of its special-shaped groove 16 is still in contact with the upper surface of the hollow column 14. The power distribution cabinet gives an instruction to lower the mesh plate 221 to a specified stroke. The mesh plate 221 drives the connecting rod 223 and the pressure plate 224 to descend synchronously. The lower surface of the pressure plate 224 is in contact with the upper surface of the supporting plate 234. As the descending depth increases, the supporting plate 234 is driven to move downward synchronously, and the lifting rod 233 slides and descends in the square hole inside the limit frame 232. The lifting rod 233 rotates away from the side of the supporting plate 234. The lifting column 236 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 235, and a shifting groove is opened in the middle of the rotating rod 235. The shifting groove ensures that the lifting column 236 and the lifting rod 233 always move up and down perpendicular to the base 231. A support frame is rotated through an axis in the shifting groove. The end of the rotating rod 235 away from the lifting rod 233 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the lifting column 236. Under the action of the lever principle, as the lifting rod 233 descends, the lifting column 236 rises under the prying of the front and rear four rotating rods 235. The lifting column 236 adopts a hollow design to reduce its weight impact and is easy to lift.

[0066] The base plate rises with the lifting column 236, and the upper surface of the base plate is connected to the nail plate 238 through the arc plate group 237. The four sides of the nail plate 238 are provided with positioning parts 25. The side of the rotating seat 251 of the positioning part 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the nail plate 238. In the initial state, the L-shaped plate 252 is inclined inside the rotating seat 251 due to the influence of the internal torsion spring 253. As the mesh plate 221 continues to descend, the micro nails 254 above the four L-shaped plates 252 are the first to contact the lower surface of the circuit board.

[0067] As the nail plate 238 continues to rise, the four L-shaped plates 252 support the circuit board and squeeze it upward until the four corners of its upper surface contact the lower surface of the upper triangular plate 217. Under the double-sided action of the upper triangular plate 217 and the lower nail plate 238, the lower surface of the circuit board fits with the top of the micro nails 254 and the nail pins 239. At this time, the top height of the micro nail 254 is the same as the top height of the nail pin 239. The four L-shaped plates 252 are all in a horizontal state, and the distance between the short sides of the two opposite L-shaped plates 252 in the horizontal state is equal to that of the circuit board. The slot 256 at the silicone strip 255 on the side of the L-shaped plate 252 tightly fits the side wall of the circuit board, clamps the circuit board to the upper surface of the nail plate 238, and performs position correction to reduce the low printing accuracy caused by the skewed placement angle. At this time, the lower surface of the screen 221 is in contact with the upper surface of the right-angle block 216. At this time, the screen 221 has reached the specified stroke and stops pressing down. At the same time, the internal current of the right-angle block 216 in the clamping mechanism 21 is disconnected, and the electromagnets at both ends of the adjacent right-angle blocks 216 lose their magnetic force and expand outward under the elastic force of the spring group 215. The arc plate group 237 plays a buffering role in the process of the screen 221 pressing down. At the same time, the arc plate group 237 has a shorter variable stroke and has a certain supporting force. After the right-angle block 216 slides away, the circuit board continues to rise a small distance due to the residual force of the arc plate group 237, so that the circuit board and the upper surface of the right-angle block 216 are at the same horizontal height, and the whole is in contact with the lower surface of the screen 221. At the same time, the lower surface of the support plate 234 is in contact with the upper surface of the limit frame 232, which improves the stability of the printing process and ensures the accuracy of the silver paste circuit printing.

[0068] After stabilization, the scraper on the upper surface of the screen 221 starts to move, and scrapes back and forth according to the actual number of times required. After printing is completed, the distribution cabinet controls the sliding rod to slide a short distance to the upper part of the machine top frame 222, and the supporting plate 234 follows the pressure plate 224 at the screen 221 upward for a short distance. This distance is smaller than the distance between the upper and lower triangular plates 217. After the lifting column 236 is lowered accordingly, the circuit board is located between the upper and lower triangular plates 217. At the same time, the current starts to flow inside the right-angle block 216 in the clamping mechanism 21, and the electromagnets at both ends of the adjacent right-angle blocks 216 are acted upon by magnetic force, and the right-angle blocks 216 at the four corners are squeezed close to the circuit board.

[0069] Then the mesh plate 221 slides upward with the slide rod to return to the highest point of the initial state, and the lifting column 236, nail plate 238 and positioning member 25 below lose the squeezing of the pressure plate 224 and move downward. In the downward process, the four positioning members 25 clamp the circuit board downward, and when the lower surfaces of the four corners of the circuit board contact the upper surface of the triangle plate 217 below, the triangle plate 217 gives support force to the circuit board, so that the circuit board is fixed on the upper surface of the triangle plate 217 below, and the lifting column 236 continues to move downward so that the four positioning members 25 are separated from the positioning clamping of the circuit board, and the lower surface of the circuit board is no longer in contact with the nail pins 239 and the top of the micro nails 254, and the L-shaped plate 252 returns to its initial tilted state. At the same time, the lifting column 236 continues to move downward, and the lifting mechanism 23 as a whole returns to its initial state.

[0070] The process of turning over the circuit board to print the second side:

[0071] After the silver paste printing on one side is completed, the driving unit at the bottom drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate counterclockwise. After the output shaft 12 moves a small distance, the hollow column 14 below the special-shaped groove 16 is provided with a groove, and the plane of the hollow column 14 and the groove are connected with an arc surface design. The output shaft 12 continues to move, and the bevel gear 13 sleeved on the outer surface of its circumference and the bevel tooth column 15 below are meshed with each other. As the output shaft 12 continues to move, the bevel gear 13 drives the output shaft 12 to rotate damped inside the rotating shaft 11 as a whole, and the bevel tooth column 15 supports the output shaft 12 to rotate 180 degrees as a whole, completing the flipping of the clamping mechanism 21 as a whole. At this time, the circuit board is flipped under the clamping of the right-angle block 216 and the triangle plate 217. When the bevel gear 13 is out of engagement with the bevel tooth column 15, since the output shaft 12 is a damped rotation, the output shaft 12 will not continue to rotate due to inertia. At this time, the special-shaped groove 16 has also completed the flipping, and the surface of the hollow column 14 below the output shaft 12 is still a groove. When the output shaft 12 continues to move, the edge of the special-shaped groove 16 adopts an arc surface design. At this time, the arc surface edge of the special-shaped groove 16 is in contact with the arc surface of the upper part of the groove, and it moves steadily until the straight edge of the special-shaped groove 16 below is in contact with the upper surface of the hollow column 14.

[0072] At this time, the rotating shaft 11 stops running after completing the 90-degree rotation, and sends the clamping mechanism 21 to the top of the next lifting mechanism 23 to print the second side of the circuit board. This lifting mechanism 23 and the screen printing mechanism 22 use the same structural design as the first side printing, and the second side of the circuit board is printed synchronously with the previous step (because the nail pins 239 on the nail plate 238 and the tops of the micro nails 254 are very sharp, so the contact with the circuit board after the previous side is printed will not cause the printed silver paste layer to be damaged). After the second side of the circuit board is also printed, the rotating shaft 11 drives the clamping mechanism 21 to move 90 degrees counterclockwise. During this process, the special-shaped groove 16 below the output shaft 12 fits with the upper surface of the hollow column 14, and stops running after reaching the next lifting platform 24.

[0073] Circuit board cutting process:

[0074] The structure of the lifting platform 24 of the unloading part of the circuit board is designed in the same structure as the loading part, and the upper surface of the lifting platform 24 for unloading is also provided with the same structure as the nail pins 239 on the nail plate 238, which is not easy to damage the coating of the printed circuit board. After the circuit board is lowered, it is picked up by an external manipulator and sent to the light curing process for drying. Then the rotating shaft 11 continues to rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees, and the lower surface of the special-shaped groove 16 is in contact with the upper surface of the hollow column 14 and moves smoothly to the upper part of the lifting platform 24 of the loading part at the initial position, thus completing a complete set of printing processes.

[0075] The above printing process has the following advantages:

[0076] Advantage 1: A bevel gear 13 is sleeved on the outer surface of the output shaft 12. When the output shaft 12 moves to above the bevel gear column 15 between the two screen printing mechanisms 22, the output shaft 12 and the clamping mechanism 21 are flipped 180 degrees through the mutual engagement of the teeth, and the circuit board inside the clamping mechanism 21 is flipped synchronously.

[0077] Advantage 2: Two lifting platforms 24 and two screen printing mechanisms 22 are provided, with a total of four workstations, which can simultaneously complete the loading, unloading, first-side printing and second-side printing of multiple circuit boards, thereby improving the production efficiency of circuit board printing.

[0078] Advantage three: the clamping mechanism 21 and the circuit board are turned over after printing on the first side. During processing, when the pressure plate 224 squeezes the supporting plate 234 to the upper surface of the limit frame 232, the screen 221 fits the circuit board as a whole, so that the clamping mechanism 21 remains horizontal during the printing process, which improves the stability of the circuit board during printing and improves the processing accuracy.

[0079] Advantage 4: When the second side of the circuit board is printed and cut, the nail pins 239 and micro nails 254 in contact with the lower surface of the circuit board have pointed tips and will not damage the printed silver paste coating. At the same time, they are densely distributed, and the size of the nail plate 238 is the same as that of the circuit board. During the pressing process of the stencil 221, the contact area is large and the pressure is small, so the circuit board will not be damaged.

[0080] Advantage 5. During the circuit board printing process, the lifting mechanism 23 moves as a whole following the lifting height of the screen 221. When the screen 221 descends, the nail plate 238 rises synchronously to lift the circuit board to cooperate with its printing; after printing is completed, when the screen 221 rises, the nail plate 238 descends synchronously to separate from the circuit board, thereby improving the degree of automation of silk screen printing.

[0081] Advantage 6: When the upper surface of the circuit board is completely in contact with the lower surface of the stencil 221, the four positioning members 25 are on the four sides of the circuit and are all in an extruded state, so that the circuit board is fixed during the printing process, reducing the deviation during the printing process and ensuring that the silver paste is accurately printed at the predetermined position.

[0082] Advantage 7: During the rising process of the nail plate 238, the upper surface of the circuit board contacts the lower surfaces of the four triangles 217 above, and the lower surface of the circuit board contacts the tops of the micro nails 254 and nail needles 239 on the four positioning members 25. As it continues to rise, the four sides and the upper and lower ends of the circuit board are positioned, completing the verification of the position of the circuit board, ensuring the accurate position of the circuit board during the printing process, thereby improving the printing accuracy.
