Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of PCB roughening production control, and in particular relates to a control system and method for a roughening production line. Background Art

[0002] In the circuit board manufacturing process, roughening is one of the key steps in copper surface treatment and an indispensable process flow, which is very important to ensure the quality of circuit boards. Roughening can increase the specific surface area of ​​copper foil and provide adhesion between dry film, ink and copper surface, which is the basis of subsequent circuit manufacturing process. At present, there are two main problems in the roughening process: One is excessive corrosion of the copper surface caused by excessive roughening. When the roughening process is too intense or lasts too long, the copper surface will appear noticeably uneven, and may even form holes or cracks. First, once excessive corrosion occurs, the original structure of the copper surface will be destroyed, causing the copper conductor to become thinner, affecting the conductivity of the circuit board. Secondly, the copper ions produced by corrosion may contaminate the roughening solution, affecting the treatment effect of subsequent batches. In addition, the excessively corroded copper surface may have insufficient adhesion in subsequent electroplating and coating processes, causing the coating or plating to fall off easily.

[0003] The second is insufficient adhesion caused by insufficient roughening. When the roughening process is not sufficient or the time is insufficient, the copper surface may remain smooth or only slightly uneven, and the expected roughness cannot be achieved. Insufficient roughening will directly affect the bonding strength of subsequent coatings and platings with the copper surface. The smooth copper surface lacks sufficient mechanical bite points, making it difficult for the coating or plating to adhere firmly. For example, an insufficiently roughened copper surface may result in a weak bonding between the subsequent electroplating layer and the copper substrate, which may easily peel off when subjected to external forces. Another example is that an insufficiently roughened copper surface may also result in a low adhesion between the coating and the copper surface, and the coating is prone to cracking, falling off, and other problems. In addition, an insufficiently roughened copper surface may also cause reliability problems in the circuit board during use, such as decreased conductivity and unstable signal transmission.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The control system of the roughening production line will be described in detail below, and various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully. The present disclosure may have various embodiments, and adjustments and changes may be made therein. However, it should be understood that there is no intention to limit the various embodiments of the present disclosure to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but rather the present disclosure should be understood to cover all adjustments, equivalents and / or alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0024] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, some terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced below: 1. PCB is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board. It is a basic component used to support and connect electronic components. The roughening production line of this application is to roughen the printed circuit board.

[0025] 2. Sand blasting The sandblasting process is part of the roughening process and is a method of surface treatment for circuit boards. Sand is sprayed to clean the surface and improve the surface roughness. During the sandblasting process, due to the high-speed impact of the sand, impurities such as copper layer dirt, oxide layer and welding slag on the surface can be effectively removed, making the surface smooth and clean, while also improving the surface roughness.

[0026] 3. Spray liquid Spraying liquid is a part of the roughening process after the sandblasting process. By spraying the super roughening liquid on the copper surface of the PCB after sandblasting, it helps to improve the adhesion between the copper surface and the solder mask or dry film, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the PCB. Spraying liquid is to micro-etch the copper foil surface of the PCB to make the adhesion between the solder mask or dry film and the copper surface stronger. It can micro-etch the surface of copper and copper alloys to generate a concave and convex roughened surface, thereby improving adhesion.

[0027] Hereinafter, the terms "include" or "may include" used in various embodiments of the present disclosure indicate the presence of disclosed functions, operations, or elements, and do not limit the addition of one or more functions, operations, or elements. In addition, as used in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "include", "have", and their cognates are intended only to indicate specific features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or a combination of the foregoing, and should not be understood as first excluding the presence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or a combination of the foregoing or the possibility of adding one or more features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or a combination of the foregoing.

[0028] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the expression "or" or "at least one of A or / and B" includes any combination or all combinations of the words listed at the same time. For example, the expression "A or B" or "at least one of A or / and B" may include A, may include B, or may include both A and B.

[0029] The expressions (such as "first", "second", etc.) used in the various embodiments of the present disclosure may modify the various constituent elements in the various embodiments, but may not limit the corresponding constituent elements. For example, the above expressions do not limit the order and / or importance of the elements. The above expressions are only used for the purpose of distinguishing one element from other elements. For example, the first user device and the second user device indicate different user devices, although both are user devices. For example, without departing from the scope of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first element may be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element may also be referred to as the first element.

[0030] It should be noted that if it is described that one component element is “connected” to another component element, the first component element may be directly connected to the second component element, and a third component element may be “connected” between the first component element and the second component element. Conversely, when one component element is “directly connected” to another component element, it can be understood that there is no third component element between the first component element and the second component element.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The following problems exist in the roughening process of circuit board manufacturing: First, excessive corrosion of the copper surface caused by excessive roughening. The original structure of the copper surface is destroyed, the copper conductor becomes thinner, and the conductivity is affected; the copper ions produced may contaminate the roughening solution, affecting the effect of subsequent batch processing; in subsequent electroplating and coating processes, the coating or plating is easy to fall off and the adhesion is insufficient. Second, insufficient adhesion is caused by insufficient roughening. The copper surface cannot reach the expected roughness, which affects the bonding strength of the coating and plating with the copper surface; the smooth copper surface lacks mechanical bite points, making it difficult for the coating or plating to adhere firmly; under the action of external force, the electroplating layer or coating is easy to peel off, cracking, falling off and other problems; it may cause reliability problems of the circuit board during use, such as reduced conductivity and unstable signal transmission.

[0033] The above problems directly affect the quality of the circuit board and the reliability of the subsequent manufacturing process.

The industrial computer reduces the real-time sandblasting time by speeding up the operation of the conveying motor, and returns to step S21; S214. The industrial computer increases the real-time sandblasting time by slowing down the operation of the conveying motor, and returns to step S211; S215. The industrial computer obtains the real-time running speed of the roller, calculates the ratio of the length of the spraying liquid area to the real-time running speed of the roller to obtain the real-time spraying time; S216. The industrial computer compares the implemented spraying time with the target spraying time; If the real-time spraying duration is greater than the target spraying duration, proceed to step S217; If the real-time spraying duration is less than the target spraying duration, proceed to step S218; If the real-time spraying duration is equal to the target spraying duration, the operation of the roller motor is not adjusted, and the process goes to step S22; S217.

The industrial computer increases the real-time spraying time by slowing down the operation of the roller motor, and returns to step S215; It should be noted that the target spraying time is a time range.

The industrial computer collects the real-time liquid level of the liquid through the liquid level sensor, and determines whether the real-time liquid level is less than the target liquid level; If yes, go to step S225; If not, proceed to step S23; S225. The industrial computer calculates the difference between the target liquid level and the real-time liquid level, and then calculates the required water replenishment amount and the required drug replenishment amount according to the target liquid concentration, and then adds the required water replenishment amount through the third valve body, adds the required drug replenishment amount through the fourth valve body, and starts the stirring device to stir for a set time; It should be noted that the target liquid medicine temperature is a temperature range. If the real-time liquid medicine temperature is within the temperature range, it is considered that the real-time liquid medicine temperature is equal to the target liquid medicine temperature. If the real-time liquid medicine temperature is less than the lower limit of the temperature range, it is considered that the real-time liquid medicine temperature is less than the target liquid medicine temperature. If the real-time liquid medicine temperature is greater than the upper limit of the temperature range, it is considered that the real-time liquid medicine temperature is greater than the target liquid medicine temperature. The required water replenishment amount and the required medicine replenishment amount are calculated according to the target medicine liquid concentration, and then the required water replenishment amount is added through the third valve body, the required medicine replenishment amount is added through the fourth valve body, and the stirring device is started to stir for the set time.

The industrial computer controls the first valve body and the second valve body to increase the opening, thereby increasing the sandblasting pressure and the spraying flow rate, and returns to step S231; S236. The industrial computer controls the first valve body and the second valve body to reduce the opening, thereby reducing the sandblasting pressure and the spraying flow rate, and returns to step S231; It should be noted that, similarly, the target copper surface roughness and the target copper surface uniformity are also range values; The specific steps of step S23 realize real-time monitoring and adjustment of the roughness and uniformity of the copper surface.
