Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of workpiece clamping, and in particular to a clamping tool for a PCB board. Background Art

[0002] PCB board, or printed circuit board, is an indispensable basic component in modern electronic products. The design and production of PCB board involves circuit diagram design, wiring planning, cleaning, electroplating, etching, drilling, welding, etc. In the process involving liquid treatment, such as cleaning, electroplating, etching and other processes, bubbles may be generated. In order to ensure that these chemical treatment processes can be carried out evenly and effectively, and avoid affecting the quality of PCB board due to the presence of bubbles, it is necessary to transfer PCB board to defoaming treatment process for defoaming treatment. In this treatment operation, it is necessary to use clamping tooling to move PCB board. In the clamping and transfer operation of PCB board, in order to ensure the integrity and functionality of PCB board, it is necessary to minimize the damage to PCB board caused by transfer or clamping process.

[0003] The patent document with the authorization announcement number CN112008111B discloses a fully automatic conveying mechanism for a flexible circuit board drilling device and a conveying method thereof, which includes a conveying assembly and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is installed on the upper end of one side of the conveying assembly. When the flexible circuit board ejected by the cylinder rod approaches the outlet end of the square through groove, the conveying mechanism starts the hydraulic cylinder and uses the extension rod to drive the U-shaped clamping piece to descend, positioning the flexible circuit board in the inner cavity of the U-shaped clamping piece, and uses the trapezoidal pressing block and the square pressing block to press and limit the flexible circuit board respectively. After the circuit board is clamped, subsequent processing operations are performed;

[0004] The conveying mechanism provided in the above patent document can first transfer the flexible circuit board to the feed trough, use the rising cylinder rod to support the bottom surface of the circuit board and simultaneously lower the U-shaped clip to limit and fix the periphery of the flexible circuit board to be processed. The circuit board in the conveying mechanism is moved by the feed belt and the discharge belt, and the two ends of the circuit board are overlapped in the feed belt or the discharge belt. The conveying mechanism cannot transfer the circuit board in different processing steps.

[0005] The patent document with authorization announcement number CN112338245B discloses a PCB depaneling machine with automatic loading and unloading, including a depaneling processing mechanism, a PCB board feeding mechanism, a carrier feeding mechanism and a handling robot. The PCB board feeding mechanism is used to convey PCB boards, the carrier feeding mechanism is used to convey carriers, and the handling robot is used to load or unload carriers and PCB boards onto the depaneling processing mechanism. The depaneling machine provided by the patent document can transfer PCB boards through the handling robot.

[0006] In the production process of circuit boards, there are differences in the sizes and specifications of the circuit boards involved in the processing. When the handling robot handles the circuit boards, it usually fixes the ends of the circuit boards by clamping or vacuum adsorption. When using the handling robot to carry some larger or lower hardness circuit boards, the middle part of the circuit board is prone to depression, which in turn causes the middle part of the circuit board to be excessively squeezed, resulting in deformation of the circuit board or local functional damage. In addition, when the circuit board is defoaming, if the circuit board has a depression problem, there will be problems such as the defoaming agent cannot evenly cover the surface of the circuit board, and the defoaming agent stays at different positions on the surface of the circuit board for different times, which hinders the natural rupture and discharge of the foam, increases the complexity of the defoaming work, and affects the defoaming effect.

The connection method between the mounting block 22 and the movable member 21 includes but is not limited to threaded fit and sliding fit. In operation, by adjusting the relative position of the mounting block 22 and the movable member 21, the relative spacing between the two groups of clamping mechanisms on the same movable member 21 can be adjusted. In the actual production process, there are certain differences in the widths of the circuit boards 4 of different batches. By adjusting the relative position of the mounting block 22 and the movable member 21, stable clamping operation of circuit boards 4 of different widths can be achieved.

[0042] The frame 3 is lifted and lowered in coordination with the mounting block 22. Specifically, the frame 3 can be connected to the mounting block 22 via a cylinder. The two mounting portions 31 are fixed to the frame 3, and the two mounting portions 31 are arranged adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction. The tensioning member 33 and the clamping member 32 are both provided with two, and the two tensioning members 33 are respectively fixed to the two mounting portions 31, and the two clamping members 32 are respectively rotatably coordinated with the two mounting portions 31. The clamping mechanism also includes a driving component, which is used to drive the two clamping members 32 to rotate relative to the mounting portion 31. The clamping members 32 are relatively When the mounting parts 31 are relatively close to or far away from each other when rotating, the gasket 35 is simultaneously sleeved on the outside of each tensioning member 33 and each clamping member 32. The material of the gasket 35 includes but is not limited to rubber. The gasket 35 is fixed to the clamping member 32 and is in active contact with the tensioning member 33. The movable member 36 is arranged between the two mounting parts 31. The movable member 36 is simultaneously fixed to the front and rear sides of the gasket 35 and is slidably matched with the two mounting parts 31 in the horizontal direction. The frame body 3 is also provided with a limit member 37 for limiting the sliding state of the movable member 36.

[0043] The clamping member 32 includes a connecting portion 321 and a clamping portion 322, wherein the connecting portion 321 is in the shape of a rod, and the two ends of the connecting portion 321 are in the shape of an arc, and the connecting portion 321 has two connecting portions, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the length of the mounting portion 31, and one end of the connecting portion 321 is rotatably matched with the mounting portion 31, and the other end of the connecting portion 321 is fixed to the clamping portion 322, wherein the clamping portion 322 can be in the shape of a circular rod, and the end portion of the connecting portion 321 connected to the connecting member is circumferentially provided with a tooth portion 323, and the driving assembly includes a driving member 34 and an adjusting member. The driving member 34 can be an electric telescopic rod, the driving member 34 is fixed relative to the frame 3, the extended end of the driving member 34 is connected to the adjusting member 341, the side facing the circuit board 4 is the front side, the front end of the adjusting member 341 is provided with a second tooth portion 342, the second tooth portion 342 is in active contact and meshing with the first tooth portion 323, when the driving member 34 pushes the adjusting member 341 to move backward, under the meshing action of the first tooth portion 323 and the second tooth portion 342, the two connecting portions 321 are moved inward relative to the two mounting portions 31 The two clamping parts 322 are rotated and driven to be relatively close to each other until the two clamping parts 322 clamp the circuit board 4. When the two clamping parts 322 are relatively close to each other, the gasket 35 adapts to the circuit board 4 in the middle of the two clamping parts 322 to form a concave state and contacts the circuit board 4. At the same time, under the deformation of the clamping parts 322, the rear side of the gasket 35 abuts against the two tensioning members 33. In order to reduce the friction between the tensioning members 33 and the gasket 35, the positions of the two tensioning members 33 for abutting against the gasket 35 are arc-shaped surfaces. The portion between the tensioning members 33 is stretched and drives the movable member 36 to move backward. The movable member 36 pulls the pad 35 between the two clamping parts 322 to move backward. The circuit board 4 moves with the pad 35 under the action of the friction between it and the pad 35. After completing the clamping operation of the board body of the circuit board 4, the clamping mechanism applies a pulling force in the horizontal direction to the circuit board 4 to reduce the depression generated in the middle position of the circuit board 4 during the transportation process, reduce the local deformation and functional damage of the circuit board 4, and ensure the processing quality of the circuit board 4.

[0044] The limiting member 37 is slidably matched with the connecting member, and the limiting member 37 can be elastically connected to the connecting member through a spring. Figure 8The limiting member 37 includes the limiting portion 1 371 and the limiting portion 2 372. The rear end surface of the limiting portion 1 371 is in the shape of an inclined surface. The rear end surface of the limiting portion 1 371 is inclined from front to back in a direction away from the movable member 36. The rear end surface of the limiting portion 1 371 abuts against the movable member 36. The front end surface of the limiting portion 2 372 is in the shape of an inclined surface. The front end surface of the limiting portion 2 372 is inclined from front to back in a direction close to the movable member 36. The front end surface of the limiting portion 2 372 is in the shape of an inclined surface.

[0045] When the clamping mechanism recovers the initial state, the two connecting parts 321 rotate inwardly, driving the lever 324 to gradually contact the limiting part 2 372, and pushing the limiting part 37 to slide relative to the connecting part as a whole, so that the limiting part 37 moves away from the movable part 36 until the limiting part 1 371 is separated from the movable part 36, and the liner 35 at the rear part of the movable part 36 is tensioned to smoothly pull the movable part 36 backward, and when the limiting part 37 is away from the movable part 36, the spring is squeezed to store the spring force, so that after the clamping mechanism returns to the initial state, the front part of the liner 35 is re-tensioned, and the movable part 36 is pulled to move forward and reset, and the limiting part 37 is reset under the elastic force of the spring and is re-contacted with the movable part 36.

[0046] The specific working method of the clamping tool for PCB board provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the initial state, the two clamping members 32 of the clamping mechanism are both arranged longitudinally, and the front end surface of the liner 35 is in a vertical state under the stretching action of the two clamping members 32, and the rear side of the liner 35 does not contact the tensioning member 33. After the adjustment mechanism drives each of the clamping mechanisms to move into place, as shown in FIG. Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the front end surface of the pad 35 on the clamping mechanism is in contact with the side of the circuit board 4, and then the driving members 34 of each clamping mechanism work synchronously to push the adjusting member 341 to move backward, and under the meshing action of the tooth portion 1 323 and the tooth portion 2 342, the two clamping members 32 rotate forward until the clamping portion 322 contacts the circuit board 4 and clamps and fixes the circuit board 4;

[0048] During the process of the two clamping members 32 rotating toward the front side, the lever 324 on the connecting portion 321 gradually contacts the second limiting portion 372 and pushes the limiting member 37 as a whole away from the movable member 36, thereby releasing the limiting effect of the first limiting portion 371 and the movable member 36. The rear pad 35 is tensioned and pulls the movable member 36 backward, and the movable member 36 pulls the front pad 35 backward. Under the friction between the front pad 35 and the circuit board 4, the pulling force on the circuit board 4 is increased in the horizontal direction to reduce the depression in the middle position of the circuit board 4, reduce the problem of local deformation and functional damage of the circuit board 4 during the transportation process, and ensure the quality of the circuit board 4 in subsequent processing operations.

[0049] The clamping tool for PCB boards provided by the present invention reduces the problem of depression in the middle position of the circuit board during transportation, reduces the risk of local deformation and damage of the circuit board during transportation, and improves the quality of circuit board processing.
