Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit board manufacturing, and in particular to a circuit board silk screen solder resist flipping device and a silk screen solder resist method. Background Art
[0002] Apply a layer of green or black insulating paint on the surface of the PCB, and then use silk screen printing to print out areas that do not need to be covered with insulating paint at the parts that need to be soldered. This technology is called silk screen solder mask. The corresponding to silk screen solder mask is the "exposed pad", that is, the pad without insulating paint covering. Silk screen solder mask can reduce the risk of circuit short circuit between pads, and also prevent the circuit board from being corroded by impurities in the environment.
[0003] A search revealed a patent with the authorized publication number CN110602894B, which discloses a method for improving the efficiency of silk-screen solder mask printing on circuit boards. The method includes silk-screening solder mask ink on a PCB production board, wherein the PCB production board is divided into the following areas: a board edge area, a unit board area, and a molding line area separating the unit board areas; positioning holes are respectively provided in the board edge areas at the four corners of the PCB production board; the silk-screen solder mask printing method comprises the following steps: silk-screening solder mask ink on a first surface of the PCB production board; placing the PCB production board on a silk-screen auxiliary board with the first surface facing downward and facing the silk-screen auxiliary board; and silk-screening solder mask ink on a second surface of the PCB production board; the silk-screen auxiliary board is divided into areas corresponding to the board edge area, the unit board area, and the molding line area of the PCB production board; a support block is provided on the board edge area at a triangular position of the silk-screen auxiliary board and at a position corresponding to the positioning hole; the PCB production board is allowed to stand until the solder mask ink on the first and second surfaces is dry and does not flow, and then the PCB production board is sequentially subjected to pre-baking, alignment exposure, and development processes to complete the production of the solder mask layer on the PCB production board.
[0004] The above patent designs a method for silk-screening solder mask on circuit boards. By adopting a silk-screen auxiliary plate with an adjustable support block, silk-screening can be performed on the second surface immediately after silk-screening solder mask ink on the first surface. However, before printing the solder mask layer, the auxiliary plate needs to be precisely aligned with the circuit board. This process is usually done manually, which easily affects the printing accuracy and consistency. In addition, the auxiliary plate needs to be carefully removed after printing is completed, which makes the entire production process lack continuity and leads to low production efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 8 includes a cylinder 801, a telescopic rod 802 and a spring 803. The front mounting frame 704 is slidably connected to the guide plate 201. The cylinder 801 is symmetrically installed on the lower side of each guide plate 201. The cylinder 801 is connected to the mounting frame 704 through the telescopic rod 802. A spring 803 is provided between the mounting frame 704 and the clamping frame 705. The cylinder 801 can adjust the interval between the two mounting frames 704 through the telescopic rod 802, so that the clamping roller 706 in the clamping frame 705 can adapt to and clamp circuit boards 100 of different sizes.
[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the guide frame 701 is provided with a flip assembly 11, and the flip assembly 11 includes a servo motor 111, a third screw 112, a one-way gear 113 and a rack 114. The servo motor 111 is symmetrically mounted on the top of the front and rear guide frames 701, and the third screw 112 is rotatably mounted inside each guide frame 701. The servo motor 111 is connected to the third screw 112 through a coupling, and the third screw 112 is threadedly connected to the clamping member 702. The one-way gear 113 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the two clamping members 702. The rack 114 is arranged on each of the guide frames 701, and the rack 114 is used to adapt to and mesh with the one-way gear 113 on the same side, and the number of teeth of the rack 114 is half the number of teeth of the one-way gear 113. The corresponding third screw 112 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 111, so that the third screw 112 threadedly drives the clamping member 702 to rise and fall, and then the one-way gear 113 and the rack 114 are engaged with each other, so that the clamping member 702 is lifted once and then flipped 180 degrees, thereby realizing automatic flipping of the circuit board 100 for solder mask.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a width measuring component 12, which includes a mounting frame 121, a width measuring camera 122 and a controller 123. The mounting frame 121 is fixedly installed on the right side of the mounting plate 3. Two width measuring cameras 122 are provided and are respectively installed on the mounting frame 121. The two width measuring cameras 122 can measure the actual width of the circuit board 100. The controller 123 is set on the right side of the guide plate 201. The controller 123 is electrically connected to the two cylinders 801. After the two width measuring cameras 122 measure the width of the circuit board 100 respectively, the measurement data will be transmitted to the external terminal for processing. The processed information will be transmitted to the controller 123. Finally, the controller 123 controls the telescopic rod 802 of the cylinder 801 to extend and retract, so that the mounting frame 704, the clamping frame 705 and the clamping roller 706 can better adapt to and clamp the circuit board 100.
[0035] When using the circuit board 100 silk screen solder mask flipping device to silk screen solder mask on the circuit board 100, the operator first pushes the circuit board 100 to be processed horizontally to the right side of the bracket 2. At this time, the two width measuring cameras 122 will measure the width of the placed circuit board 100. The data measured by the width measuring camera 122 will be transmitted to the remote data processing terminal, and the signal processed by the data processing terminal will be returned to the controller 123. At this time, the controller 123 that receives the signal will synchronously control the cylinders 801 at two locations to work. The cylinder 801 drives the front mounting frame 704 to move through the telescopic rod 802, and the moving mounting frame 704 synchronously drives the clamping frame 705 and the clamping roller 706 to move as a whole. When the circuit board 100 is pushed between the clamping rollers 706 on the front and rear sides, the motor pulley group 707 is activated, and the motor pulley group 707 drives the multiple clamping rollers 706 at the front and rear sides to rotate synchronously, so that the placed circuit board 100 can be transported to the appropriate processing position by the multiple clamping rollers 706 on both sides. At this time, under the action of the spring 803, the clamping rollers 706 on both sides can further stably clamp the circuit board 100 that has arrived at the appropriate processing position, and then the drag chain slide module 6 is activated, and the drag chain slide module 6 will drive the inkjet machine 5 to move left and right through the sliding frame 4, so that the inkjet machine 5 can move on the circuit board The painting work is completed on one side of 100. When the other side needs to be painted, the servo motor 111 is activated. The servo motors 111 on the front and rear sides drive the corresponding third screws 112 to rotate through the coupling. The third screws 112 rotating at the front and rear sides drive the sliding blocks 703 to move down on the corresponding guide frame 701 through the thread. At this time, the downward sliding blocks 703 will synchronously drive the clamping member 702, the mounting frame 704, the clamping frame 705 and the clamping roller 706 to move downward synchronously as a whole until the downward one-way gears 113 on the front and rear sides are engaged with the corresponding racks 114, so that the one-way gears 113 drive the clamping member 702, the mounting frame 704, the clamping frame 705 and the clamping roller 706 to flip 180 degrees as a whole. In this way, the circuit board 100 clamped by the clamping rollers 706 on both sides can be automatically turned over. Similarly, when the servo motor 111 reversely drives the circuit board 100 to rise, the rising one-way gear 113 will not be able to drive the circuit board 100 to turn over after engaging the rack 114, until the servo motor 111 reversely drives the circuit board 100 to rise and reset to the painting processing plane, the drag chain slide module 6 is activated again to drive the inkjet machine 5 to paint the other side of the flipped circuit board 100. When both sides of the circuit board 100 are sprayed, the clamping roller 706 is driven by the motor pulley group 707 to directly transport the painted circuit board 100 out for subsequent silk screen solder mask processing.

The electric slide rail 901 is provided on the inner side walls of the four pillars of the bracket 2, and the placement plate 902 is slidably installed on the bracket 2 through the electric slide rail 901. The positioning plate 903 is provided on the surface of the placement plate 902, and the positioning plate 903 is located near the top corner of the right rear side of the placement plate 902. The auxiliary frame plate 904 is placed on the surface of the placement plate 902. The limiting assembly 10 cooperates with the positioning plate 903 to limit the auxiliary frame plate 904, so that the auxiliary frame plate 904 can adapt to and support the circuit board 100 for silk screen solder mask; the auxiliary frame plate 904 is replaceably installed on the placement plate 902, and the clamping surface of the clamping roller 706 is provided with an elastic rubber pad.
[0037] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting assembly 10 includes a first motor 101, a first screw 102, a first limiting plate 103, a second motor 104, a second screw 105 and a second limiting plate 106. The first motor 101 is installed on the surface of the base plate 1, and the first screw 102 is rotatably installed on the base plate 1. The first screw 102 is horizontally arranged on the base plate 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 101 is connected to the first screw 102. The first limiting plate 103 is slidably installed on the placement plate 902. The first limiting plate 103 is threadedly connected to the first screw 102. The placement plate 902 is provided with a sliding groove adapted to the first limiting plate 103. The second motor 104 is also installed on the surface of the base plate 1. The second screw 105 is rotatably installed on the base plate 1, the first screw 102 is horizontally placed in the front and back of the base plate 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 104 is connected to the second screw 105, the second limit plate 106 is slidably installed on the placement plate 902, the second limit plate 106 is threadedly connected to the second screw 105, and the placement plate 902 is also provided with a sliding groove adapted to the second limit plate 106, the first motor 101 and the second motor 104 respectively drive the first limit plate 103 and the second limit plate 106 to move on the placement plate 902, so that the first limit plate 103 and the second limit plate 106 can adapt to the positioning plate 903 to limit and clamp the placed auxiliary frame plate 904.
[0038] Before silk-screening solder mask on circuit boards 100 of different sizes, the operator first selects an auxiliary frame plate 904 that matches the size of the circuit board 100 and places it on the placement plate 902. First, align one vertex of the auxiliary frame plate 904 with the positioning plate 903. Then, the first motor 101 drives the first screw 102 to rotate, so that the first screw 102 thread-drives the first limiting plate 103 to be limited to the left side of the auxiliary frame plate 904. At the same time, the second motor 104 drives the second screw 105 to rotate, so that the second screw 105 thread-drives the second limiting plate 106 to be limited to the front side of the auxiliary frame plate 904. In this way, the placed circuit board 100 is limited by the first limiting plate 103 and the second limiting plate 106, and the positioning plate 903 is cooperated to enable the circuit board 100 to be accurately positioned. On the placement plate 902, when the servo motor 111 drives the entire clamping assembly 7 to complete the flipping of the circuit board 100, the placement plate 902 is driven upward by the electric slide 901, so that the auxiliary frame plate 904 on the placement plate 902 can rise until the auxiliary frame plate 904 contacts and supports the lower surface of the circuit board 100. The servo motor 111 and the electric slide 901 cooperate with each other to enable the auxiliary frame plate 904 to be synchronously supported on the lower surface of the circuit board 100 until the circuit board 100 rises and the plane is processed. Then, the placement plate 902 and the auxiliary frame plate 904 are driven by the electric slide 901 to slide down and reset synchronously, ready to support and cooperate with the next flipped circuit board 100, thereby achieving continuous cooperation and separation between the auxiliary frame plate 904 and the circuit board 100.
