Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper clad laminate technology, and in particular to a copper clad laminate edge cutting mechanism and method, which is applied in the processing and manufacturing of copper clad laminates. Background Technology

[0002] During processing, the copper foil protrudes from the substrate edge, requiring edge trimming. Edge trimming is a crucial step in copper-clad laminate (CCL) manufacturing. Currently, the process for trimming copper foil edges in CCL is as follows: First, the material is manually loaded and placed on a non-metallic surface. The cutting dimensions are then manually measured. Next, a long plastic board is used to hold down the cutting edge, and the copper foil edge is manually torn off along the board. However, this trimming method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Before cutting, manual measurement is used without a relative reference, resulting in large measurement errors and low tearing accuracy;

[0004] 2. The long board is held down manually and torn directly along the edge without pre-marking. This may cause it to break during the tearing process, resulting in a jagged edge and poor quality.

[0005] 3. Manual edge tearing is limited by space, and can only be done on one side at a time. It also involves many actions, resulting in low efficiency, unstable cutting quality, and large differences in cutting dimensions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a copper-clad laminate edge cutting and tearing mechanism and method that uses camera positioning, laser cutting, and automated mechanism tearing to stably ensure cutting size and cutting quality, and greatly improve cutting efficiency.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: a copper-clad laminate edge cutting and tearing mechanism, comprising a vacuum platform assembly, wherein a laser cutting assembly is installed on the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly at one end of the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly to pre-cut the copper foil surface with a laser to form a cutting line; an upper pressing assembly is installed at the other end of the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly and is arranged opposite to the laser cutting assembly; a bottom support assembly cooperates with the upper pressing assembly to clamp the copper-clad laminate after laser pre-cutting from above and below; a vacuum adjustment assembly is used to receive and rotate copper-clad laminates of various specifications to be processed, and is installed on the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly between the laser cutting assembly and the upper pressing assembly; a camera transfer assembly uses a camera to position the aluminum plate in the copper-clad laminate, find the edge of the aluminum plate, and confirm the cutting position; a long edge tearing assembly is installed on the right side of the upper pressing assembly to tear off the edge after laser pre-cutting; and a waste box is installed below the long edge tearing assembly to collect waste edges.

[0008] Furthermore, the long-side tearing component includes a tearing and transfer component and a slide rail arranged parallel to the tearing and transfer component. The tearing and transfer component and the slide rail are mounted on a dual-station synchronous component, and a clamping and lifting component and a tearing and waste removal component are installed side by side.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping and lifting assembly includes a first mounting base, on which a first long-side push rod assembly is mounted. A clamping and lifting cylinder is mounted on the extended end of the first long-side push rod assembly, and a clamping jaw is mounted on the output end of the clamping and lifting cylinder. A first pushing fixture is mounted on one side of the clamping jaw.

[0010] Furthermore, the edge-tearing and waste-discharging assembly includes a second mounting base, on which a second long-side push rod assembly is mounted. An edge-tearing cylinder is mounted on the extended end of the second long-side push rod assembly. An edge-tearing gripper and a lever are mounted side-by-side on the extended end of the edge-tearing cylinder. A second material-pushing fixture is mounted on one side of the edge-tearing gripper.

[0011] Furthermore, the laser cutting assembly includes a bracket on which a laser driving module is mounted, and a laser electric cylinder assembly is mounted on the laser driving module. The laser electric cylinder assembly and the laser driving module are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and a laser head is mounted on the laser electric cylinder assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper pressing assembly includes two pressing brackets, each of which is equipped with a pressing transfer drive assembly. A pressing crossbeam is mounted on the two pressing transfer drive assemblies, and a pressing lifting cylinder is mounted on the bottom surface of the pressing crossbeam. A second insulating component is mounted on the lifting and retracting end of the pressing lifting cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom support assembly includes symmetrically arranged bottom transfer drive assemblies mounted on the working plate surface of the vacuum platform assembly. Each bottom transfer drive assembly is equipped with a support column, and a bottom support lifting cylinder is mounted on the top of the support column. A third insulating component is mounted on the bottom support lifting cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the camera transfer assembly includes symmetrically arranged camera transfer units, with an insulating component installed between the two camera transfer units. The insulating component is located below the laser head in the laser cutting assembly. Each camera transfer unit includes a camera transfer drive assembly, on which a camera light source assembly is installed. The camera light source assembly and the insulating component are staggered.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a side smoothing assembly, which is mounted on the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly. The working end of the side smoothing assembly faces the vacuum adjustment assembly and is used to smooth the copper foil on the edge of the copper-clad laminate. The side smoothing assembly includes a guide support, on which a smoothing displacement drive is mounted. A slide cylinder is mounted perpendicularly to the smoothing displacement drive, and a smoothing gripper is mounted on the slide cylinder. The opening of the smoothing gripper faces the vacuum adjustment assembly.

[0016] A method for cutting and tearing the edge of a copper-clad laminate, including the copper-clad laminate edge cutting and tearing mechanism described above, includes the following specific steps:

[0017] Step 1: The copper-clad laminate is placed on the vacuum conditioning assembly using the transfer device from the previous process. The vacuum conditioning assembly uses vacuum to adsorb the copper-clad laminate, while the edge of the copper-clad laminate to be processed is within the field of view of the camera in the camera light source assembly.

[0018] Step 2: The camera light source component in the camera transfer assembly positions the edge of the aluminum plate in the copper-clad laminate. The camera light source components in the two symmetrically arranged camera transfer assemblies operate simultaneously to complete the positioning of the edge of the aluminum plate in the copper-clad laminate, thereby determining the cutting position of the copper-clad laminate; or, the camera transfer unit is a single set.

[0019] Step 3: The laser cutting assembly is a two-axis laser cutting assembly. Therefore, the vacuum displacement module in the vacuum adjustment assembly moves the copper-clad laminate cutting position to directly below the laser head in the laser cutting assembly, aligning it and also positioning it above the insulating assembly. The insulating assembly rises and supports the copper-clad laminate.

[0020] Step 4: The laser cutting component operates, the laser pre-cuts the copper foil to form a cutting line, and the cutting depth is controlled to avoid damaging the aluminum plate in the copper-clad laminate;

[0021] Step 5: After completing the laser pre-cutting of the copper foil, all the above components return to their initial positions;

[0022] Step 6: The vacuum adjustment assembly rotates the copper-clad laminate. After rotating 90°, the above steps are repeated until the side edge pre-cut in Step 4 is rotated between the upper pressing assembly and the bottom support assembly.

[0023] Step 7: The upper pressing assembly and the bottom support assembly are displaced relative to each other, and the upper pressing assembly and the bottom support assembly clamp the copper-clad laminate, and clamp it close to the inside of the cutting line;

[0024] Step 8: After the clamping and lifting component is activated, the clamping jaws move to the end of the copper-clad laminate, close, hold the edge of the copper foil, lift it up, and tear off a portion to form a triangular cutout area.

[0025] Step 9: The tearing cylinder in the tearing and waste removal assembly is activated, which puts the lever in the tearing and waste removal assembly into position and inserts it into the triangular hollow area. At the same time, the tearing jaws are open, and the lifted copper foil is located in the clamping opening of the tearing jaws.

[0026] Step 10: The dual-station synchronous component drives the tearing and waste removal component to move. The lever separates the copper foil from the aluminum plate until it moves to the tail of the copper-clad laminate. The tearing claw closes and clamps the tail of the copper foil. At this time, both the head and tail of the copper foil are in a clamping state.

[0027] Step 11: The dual-station synchronous component moves to the top of the waste box, separating the copper foil from the aluminum plate, completing the edge tearing of the entire board;

[0028] Step 12: The clamping jaws and the tearing jaws open, and the first and second pusher fixtures operate simultaneously to push out the waste edges torn off in step 11 from the clamping jaws and the tearing jaws, and drop them into the waste box, thus completing the edge tearing of one side of the copper-clad board. The remaining side is then cut off in the same way.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention uses a camera in a camera transfer assembly to position the aluminum plate in a copper-clad laminate, locate the edge of the aluminum plate, and confirm the cutting position. Then, a laser cutting assembly performs laser pre-cutting of the copper foil, controlling the cutting depth to avoid damaging the aluminum plate (substrate). After that, an upper pressing assembly and a bottom support assembly position and clamp the substrate. A clamping and lifting assembly picks up the edge of the copper foil and lifts it up, tearing off a portion. Finally, the edge tearing and transfer assembly is inserted and pushes the lever forward to complete the edge tearing of the entire board. No manual cutting is required, a benchmark is provided, cutting size and cutting quality are guaranteed, and cutting efficiency is greatly improved. Attached Figure Description

An edge-tearing cylinder 653 is mounted on the extended end of the second long-side push rod assembly 652.

A second material-pushing fixture 656 is mounted on one side of the edge-tearing gripper 654.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the vacuum adjustment component 5 includes a vacuum displacement module 51, on which a hollow rotating platform 52 is mounted, and on which a vacuum platform 53 is mounted.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the laser cutting assembly 2 includes a bracket 21, on which a laser driving module 22 is mounted, and on which a laser electric cylinder assembly 23 is mounted, the laser electric cylinder assembly 23 and the laser driving module 22 are arranged vertically, and a laser head 24 is mounted on the laser electric cylinder assembly 23.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the upper pressing assembly 3 includes two pressing brackets 31, each of which is equipped with a pressing transfer drive assembly 32. The two pressing transfer drive assemblies 32 are supported by pressing crossbeams 33. A pressing lifting cylinder 34 is installed on the bottom surface of the pressing crossbeams 33. A second insulating component 35 is installed on the lifting and retracting end of the pressing lifting cylinder 34.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom support assembly 4 includes symmetrically arranged bottom transfer drive assemblies 41 mounted on the working plate of the vacuum platform assembly 1. Each bottom transfer drive assembly 41 is equipped with a support column 42. A bottom support lifting cylinder 43 is mounted on the top of the support column 42. A third insulating member 44 is mounted on the bottom support lifting cylinder 43.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the camera transfer assembly 9 includes symmetrically arranged camera transfer units, and an insulating assembly is installed between the two camera transfer units. The insulating assembly is located below the laser head 24 in the laser cutting assembly 2.

[0057] Each camera transfer unit includes a camera transfer drive assembly 91, on which a camera light source assembly 92 is mounted. The camera light source assembly 92 is offset from the insulating assembly. The camera light source assembly 92 is the lower camera light source assembly, that is, the opening of the camera light source assembly is oriented to take pictures of the bottom surface of the copper-clad laminate.

[0058] The specific insulation components include two support rods 94, each support rod 94 has a lifting cylinder 95 installed at its top, the two lifting cylinders 95 have a crossbeam 96 installed on them, and the crossbeam 96 has a first insulating component 97 installed on it.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, on the working surface of the board, the working end of the side smoothing component 8 faces the vacuum adjustment component 5, which is used to smooth the copper foil on the edge of the copper-clad board.

[0060] The side smoothing assembly 8 includes a guide support 81, on which a smoothing displacement drive 82 is mounted. A slide cylinder 83 is mounted on the smoothing displacement drive 82 and is perpendicular to it. A smoothing gripper 84 is mounted on the slide cylinder 83, with the opening of the smoothing gripper 84 facing the vacuum adjustment assembly 5.

[0061] A method for edge-cutting of copper-clad laminate (CCL) includes the aforementioned CCL edge-cutting mechanism. The CCL is formed by depositing an ultra-thin copper foil layer (approximately less than 0.1 mm) onto the upper surface of an aluminum substrate, resulting in an aluminum substrate and copper foil. After completion, the copper foil protrudes beyond the edge of the aluminum substrate; this protruding portion needs to be cut, and each of the four sides of the CCL requires edge-cutting. The specific steps are as follows:

[0062] Step 1: The copper-clad laminate is placed on the vacuum adjustment assembly 5 by the transfer device of the previous process. The vacuum adjustment assembly 5 uses vacuum to adsorb the copper-clad laminate to prevent displacement of the copper-clad laminate during the cutting process. At the same time, the edge of the copper-clad laminate to be processed is within the field of view of the camera in the camera light source assembly 92.

[0063] Step 2: The camera light source assembly 92 in the camera transfer assembly 9 positions the edge of the aluminum plate (substrate) in the copper-clad laminate. The camera light source assemblies 92 in the two symmetrically arranged camera transfer assemblies 9 operate simultaneously, increasing the cycle time, and completing the positioning of the edge of the aluminum plate in the copper-clad laminate, thereby determining the cutting position of the copper-clad laminate.

[0064] Alternatively, the camera transfer unit may be a single unit;

[0065] Step 3: The laser cutting assembly 2 is a two-axis laser cutting assembly. Therefore, the vacuum displacement module 51 in the vacuum adjustment assembly 5 drives the copper-clad laminate cutting position to be directly below the laser head 24 in the laser cutting assembly 2, and aligns it. At the same time, it is also located above the insulating assembly. The insulating assembly rises and supports the copper-clad laminate.

[0066] Step 4: Side smoothing component 8 action, clamps the copper foil surface of the copper-clad laminate being cut, and smooths it from the middle to both sides to smooth the non-planar copper foil into a plane (this step is optional and can be used to better pre-cut the copper foil).

[0067] Step 5: The laser cutting component 2 operates, pre-cutting the copper foil with the laser to form a cutting line and controlling the cutting depth to avoid damaging the aluminum plate (substrate) in the copper-clad laminate.

[0068] Step 6: After completing the laser pre-cutting of the copper foil, the side-smoothing component 8, the insulating component, and other components are returned to their initial positions;

[0069] Step 7: The vacuum adjustment component 5 rotates the copper-clad laminate. After rotating 90°, the above steps are repeated until the side pre-cut in step 5 is rotated between the upper pressing component 3 and the bottom support component 4.

[0070] Step 8: The upper pressing component 3 and the bottom support component 4 are displaced relative to each other, and the upper pressing component 3 and the bottom support component 4 clamp the copper-clad laminate, and clamp it close to the inside of the cutting line;

[0071] Step 9: After the clamping and lifting component 64 is activated, the clamping jaws 644 move to the end of the copper-clad laminate, the clamping jaws 644 close, clamp the edge of the copper foil and lift it, tearing off a portion, thereby forming a triangular hollow area.

[0072] Step 10: The tearing cylinder 653 in the tearing and waste removal assembly 65 is activated, positioning the lever 655 in the assembly and inserting it into the triangular hollow area. Simultaneously, the tearing jaws 654 open, and the lifted copper foil is positioned within the open gripping opening of the jaws 654. Figure 3 As shown;

[0073] Step 11: The dual-station synchronous component 63 drives the tearing and waste removal component 65 to move. The lever 655 separates the copper foil from the aluminum plate until it moves to the tail of the copper-clad laminate. The tearing claw 654 closes and clamps the tail of the copper foil. At this time, both the head and tail of the copper foil are in a clamping state.

[0074] Step 12: The dual-station synchronous component 63 moves above the waste box 7 to separate the copper foil from the aluminum plate, completing the edge tearing of the entire plate;

[0075] Step 13: The clamping jaws 644 and the tearing jaws 654 open, and the first pusher fixture 645 and the second pusher fixture 656 operate simultaneously to push out the waste edge torn off in step 12 from the clamping jaws 644 and the tearing jaws 654, and drop it into the waste box 7, thus completing the edge tearing of one side of the copper-clad laminate. The remaining side is cut off in the same way.

[0076] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.

After rotating 90°, the above steps are repeated until the side edge pre-cut in step 4 is rotated between the upper pressing component (3) and the bottom support component (4). Step 7: The upper pressing component (3) and the bottom support component (4) are displaced relative to each other, and the upper pressing component (3) and the bottom support component (4) clamp the copper-clad laminate, and clamp it close to the inside of the cutting line; Step 8: After the clamping and lifting assembly (64) is activated, the clamping jaws (644) move to the end of the copper-clad laminate, the clamping jaws (644) close, clamp the edge of the copper foil and lift it, tearing off a part, thereby forming a triangular hollow area; Step 9: The tearing cylinder (653) in the tearing waste removal assembly (65) is activated, which puts the lever (655) in the tearing waste removal assembly (65) into place and inserts it into the triangular hollow area. At the same time, the tearing claw (654) is in an open state, and the lifted copper foil is located in the opening of the tearing claw (654). Step 10: The dual-station synchronous component (63) drives the tearing and waste removal component (65) to move. The lever (655) separates the copper foil from the aluminum plate until it moves to the tail of the copper-clad laminate. The tearing claw (654) closes and clamps the tail of the copper foil. At this time, both the head and tail of the copper foil are in a clamping state. Step 11: The dual-station synchronous component (63) moves above the waste box (7) to separate the copper foil from the aluminum plate, completing the whole plate tearing. Step 12: The clamping jaws (644) and the tearing jaws (654) open, and the first pusher fixture (645) and the second pusher fixture (656) operate simultaneously to push out the waste edge torn off in step 11 from the clamping jaws (644) and the tearing jaws (654) and drop it into the waste box (7), thus completing the edge tearing of one side of the copper-clad board. The remaining side is repeated in the same way.
