Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit board manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method, system and equipment for flexible board lamination. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs), a dry film needs to be laid on the surface of the FPCB during the circuit forming process. After exposure, development, and etching, the circuit is formed. In traditional technology, when applying dry film to the surface of the FPCB using a hot roll laminator, two operators are usually required. One operator manually feeds the FPCB into the hot roll laminator at the inlet end (i.e., manually places the FPCB to be laminated into the hot roll laminator), while the other operator uses a utility knife (or other cutting tool) at the outlet end of the hot roll laminator to cut off the excess dry film from the edges of the FPCB after lamination and manually unloads the FPCB after cutting the dry film.

[0003] In traditional technology, the production method of manually feeding, unloading and cutting is inefficient, requires high skill levels from operators, and cannot guarantee product quality. Moreover, even if there is no flexographic board to feed, the hot roller press will continue to supply dry film during the production process, wasting dry film material. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a flexible plate laminating method, system, and equipment that can improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, save dry film material, and reduce costs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a flexible plate lamination method, which is applied to a flexible plate lamination equipment;

[0006] The flexible board laminating equipment includes a flexible board feeding mechanism, a laminating machine connected to the flexible board feeding mechanism, a flexible board buffer mechanism connected to the laminating machine, and a flexible board cutting and output mechanism connected to the flexible board buffer mechanism; wherein, the laminating machine is provided with a flexible board sensing element on the feeding side;

[0007] The method includes:

[0008] The flexible board feeding mechanism is controlled to pick up a single sheet of flexible board to be laminated and transport it to the laminating machine;

[0009] The flexible plate sensor is controlled to detect the feeding status of the flexible plate to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator. When the feed side of the laminator detects that there is a flexible plate to be laminated, the laminator is controlled to continuously output the roll of dry film and laminate it onto the flexible plate to obtain continuous flexible plate material.

[0010] The laminator is controlled to convey the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board buffer mechanism for buffering, and the flexible board buffer mechanism is controlled to convey the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board cutting output mechanism.

[0011] The flexible board cutting output mechanism is controlled to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material to obtain a single sheet of film-coated flexible board product, and the flexible board cutting output mechanism is controlled to feed the single sheet of film-coated flexible board product.

[0012] In addition, the present invention also provides a flexible plate laminating system for use in flexible plate laminating equipment;

[0013] The flexible board laminating equipment includes a flexible board feeding mechanism, a laminating machine connected to the flexible board feeding mechanism, a flexible board buffer mechanism connected to the laminating machine, and a flexible board cutting and output mechanism connected to the flexible board buffer mechanism; wherein, the laminating machine is provided with a flexible board sensing element on the feeding side;

[0014] The system includes:

[0015] The feeding control module is used to control the flexible board feeding mechanism to pick up the single flexible board to be laminated and to convey it to the laminating machine;

[0016] The molding control module is used to control the flexible plate sensing element to detect the feeding status of the flexible plate to be laminated on the feeding side of the laminating machine. When it is detected that there is a flexible plate to be laminated on the feeding side of the laminating machine, the laminating machine is controlled to continuously output the roll of dry film and laminate it onto the flexible plate to obtain continuous flexible plate material.

[0017] The product buffer control module is used to control the film press to convey the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board buffer mechanism for buffering, and to control the flexible board buffer mechanism to convey the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board cutting output mechanism.

[0018] The film cutting and feeding control module is used to control the flexible board cutting output mechanism to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material to obtain a single film-coated flexible board product, and to control the flexible board cutting output mechanism to feed the single film-coated flexible board product.

[0019] In addition, the present invention also provides a flexible plate laminating device, comprising:

[0020] Flexible board feeding mechanism;

[0021] A film pressing machine is connected to the flexible plate feeding mechanism;

[0022] A flexible plate buffer mechanism is connected to the film pressing machine;

[0023] A flexible plate cutting and output mechanism is connected to the flexible plate buffer mechanism; a flexible plate sensor is provided on the feed side of the laminating machine; and,

[0024] The controller is connected to the flexible board feeding mechanism, the film pressing machine, the flexible board buffer mechanism, the flexible board cutting output mechanism, and the flexible board sensing element.

[0025] The controller is used to implement the flexible plate lamination method as described above.

[0026] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, are used to implement all or part of the method steps of the flexible plate lamination method as described above.

[0027] In addition, the present invention also provides a computer program product, including computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, are used to implement all or part of the method steps of the flexible plate lamination method as described above.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention include:

[0029] By controlling the flexographic board feeding mechanism, single flexographic boards can be automatically fed to the laminating machine one by one. The flexographic board sensor on the feeding side of the laminating machine can detect the flexographic boards fed to the laminating machine. When a flexographic board is detected entering the laminating machine, the laminating machine can be controlled to continuously output the roll dry film and press it onto the flexographic board, forming a continuous flexographic board material with multiple flexographic boards pressed onto the continuous dry film in sequence. Moreover, the laminating machine can transport the continuous flexographic board material to the flexographic board buffer mechanism for buffering, and then transport the buffered continuous flexographic board material to the flexographic board cutting output mechanism for cutting. The excess dry film outside the edges of the flexographic board on the continuous flexographic board material is removed to obtain a single laminated flexographic board product, and the laminated flexographic board product is automatically unloaded.

[0030] During the flexible plate lamination process, feeding and unloading, as well as the application and cutting of dry film, can be automated without manual intervention, significantly improving production efficiency. Product quality remains consistent and is unaffected by operator skill, eliminating the safety hazards associated with manual dry film cutting. Furthermore, by detecting the flexible plate feed on the laminator's inlet side, dry film can be output for lamination when a flexible plate is being conveyed, and output can be stopped when no dry film is being conveyed, greatly saving dry film material and reducing unnecessary equipment wear and tear.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a flexible plate lamination method, applied to a flexible plate lamination device 10. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the flexible board laminating equipment 10 may include a flexible board feeding mechanism 100, a laminating machine 200 connected to the flexible board feeding mechanism 100, a flexible board buffer mechanism 300 connected to the laminating machine 200, and a flexible board cutting and output mechanism 400 connected to the flexible board buffer mechanism 300. The laminating machine 200 has a flexible board sensor 202 on its feed side, which is used to detect whether a flexible board is being conveyed to the feed side of the laminating machine 200.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the above flexible plate lamination method may include the following steps:

[0045] S100, the flexible board feeding mechanism 100 picks up the single flexible board to be laminated and conveys it to the laminator 200;

[0046] S200, the flexible plate sensor 202 controls the feeding status of the flexible plate to be laminated on the feeding side of the laminator 200. When it is detected that there is a flexible plate to be laminated on the feeding side of the laminator 200, the laminator 200 is controlled to continuously output the roll of dry film and laminate it onto the flexible plate to obtain continuous flexible plate material.

[0047] S300: Control the film press 200 to convey continuous flexible board material to the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 for buffering, and control the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 to convey the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400.

[0048] S400: Control the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material to obtain a single sheet of laminated flexible board product, and control the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to feed the single sheet of laminated flexible board product.

[0049] By controlling the flexible board feeding mechanism 100, single flexible boards can be automatically fed one by one to the laminating machine 200. The flexible board sensing element 202 set on the feeding side of the laminating machine 200 can detect the flexible boards fed to the laminating machine. When a flexible board is detected entering the laminating machine 200, the laminating machine 200 can be controlled to continuously output the roll dry film and press it onto the flexible board, forming a continuous flexible board material with multiple flexible boards pressed onto the continuous dry film in sequence. Moreover, the laminating machine 200 can transport the continuous flexible board material to the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 for buffering, and then transport the buffered continuous flexible board material to the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 for cutting. The excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board on the continuous flexible board material is cut off to obtain a single laminated flexible board product, and the laminated flexible board product is automatically unloaded.

[0050] During the flexible plate lamination process, feeding and unloading, as well as dry film application and cutting, can be automated without manual intervention, greatly improving production efficiency. Product quality remains stable and is unaffected by operator skill, eliminating safety hazards associated with manual dry film cutting. Furthermore, by detecting the flexible plate feed on the feed side of the laminator 200, dry film can be output for lamination when a flexible plate is being conveyed, and output can be stopped when no dry film is being conveyed, significantly saving dry film material and reducing unnecessary equipment wear and tear.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the flexographic board feeding mechanism 100 may include a feeding rack 110, a first material bin 120 disposed on the feeding rack 110, a first picking and placing structure 130 disposed above the first material bin 120, a feeding conveying structure 140 disposed below the first picking and placing structure 130, a flexographic board cleaning structure 150 disposed on the feeding conveying structure 140, and a flexographic board flattening structure 160 disposed at the end of the feeding conveying structure 140. Therefore, in the above step S100, controlling the flexographic board feeding mechanism 100 to pick up the single flexographic board to be laminated and convey it to the laminator 200 may further include the following steps:

[0052] S110, control the first material handling structure 130 to pick up a single flexible board to be laminated from the first material bin 120 and transfer it to the feeding conveying structure 140, and control the feeding conveying structure 140 to convey the single flexible board to be laminated to the laminator 200.

[0053] S120: When a single flexible board to be coated is conveyed through the feeding conveyor structure 140 and passes through the flexible board cleaning structure 150, the flexible board cleaning structure 150 is controlled to clean both sides of the flexible board to be coated.

[0054] Specifically, the flexible board cleaning structure 150 may include a cleaning frame 152 mounted on the feed rack 110, a cleaning drive 154 mounted on the cleaning frame 152, a drive cleaning roller 156 connected to the cleaning drive 154 and rotatably mounted on the cleaning frame 152, a driven cleaning roller 158 mounted on the cleaning frame 152, and a driven roller lifting member 159 connected to the driven cleaning roller 158. A cleaning gap is formed between the drive cleaning roller 156 and the driven cleaning roller 158 for the flexible board to be laminated to pass through. By controlling the operation of the cleaning drive 154, the drive cleaning roller 156 can be driven to rotate, so that the flexible board to be laminated, conveyed by the feed conveyor structure 140, passes through the cleaning gap between the drive cleaning roller 156 and the driven cleaning roller 158, allowing the drive cleaning roller 156 and the driven cleaning roller 158 to clean the flexible board from the top and bottom. Furthermore, the driven roller lifting component 159 can be controlled to operate, driving the driven cleaning roller 158 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the width of the cleaning gap between the driving cleaning roller 156 and the driven cleaning roller 158, and adjusting the pressure and cleaning effect on the flexible plate.

[0055] S130. When a single flexible board to be laminated is conveyed through the feeding conveyor structure 140 and passes through the flexible board flattening structure 160, the flexible board flattening structure 160 is controlled to flatten the flexible board to be laminated and convey it to the laminator 200.

[0056] Specifically, the flexible board leveling structure 160 may include a leveling frame 162 mounted on the feed rack 110, an upper leveling roller structure 164 and a lower leveling roller structure 166 mounted on the leveling frame 162, and a leveling conveyor belt 168 mounted on the leveling frame 162 and connected to the feed side of the laminator 200. Furthermore, a leveling gap is formed between the upper leveling roller structure 164 and the lower leveling roller structure 166. The inlet of the leveling gap corresponds to the end of the feed conveyor structure 140, and the outlet of the leveling gap corresponds to the leveling conveyor belt 168. Flexible boards to be laminated, cleaned by the flexible board cleaning structure 150, can be conveyed to the flexible board leveling structure 160 via the feed conveyor structure 140. They enter the leveling gap between the upper leveling roller structure 164 and the lower leveling roller structure 166 through the inlet side of the leveling gap, leveling each flexible board to be laminated and making it straight. After being leveled by the upper leveling roller structure 164 and the lower leveling roller structure 166, the flexible board to be laminated is conveyed from the outlet of the leveling gap to the leveling conveyor belt 168, and then conveyed to the feed side of the laminator 200 through the leveling conveyor belt 168, thereby conveying the leveled flexible board to be laminated into the laminator 200, and pressing dry film onto the surface of the flexible board to be laminated.

[0057] Furthermore, both the upper leveling roller structure 164 and the lower leveling roller structure 166 may include a clamping drive structure disposed on the leveling frame 162, a clamping roller structure connected to the clamping drive structure, and an inlet / outlet guide block disposed on the clamping roller structure. The clamping drive structure can drive the clamping roller structures to move closer or further apart, thereby clamping or releasing the flexible board. Moreover, the clamping roller structure may include a main roller body connected to the clamping drive structure, and multiple sub-rollers disposed side by side on the leveling frame 162, with the inlet / outlet guide block disposed on the sub-rollers. The clamping drive structure can drive the main roller body to simultaneously apply pressure to the multiple sub-rollers, thereby clamping and flattening the flexible board passing between the two clamping roller structures from both sides.

[0058] Furthermore, the clamping drive structure may include a drive mounting block on each side of the flattening frame 162, a clamping lifting drive cylinder on each drive mounting block, and a clamping mounting seat connected to each clamping lifting drive cylinder. The clamping mounting seat is slidably mounted on the drive mounting block, and the main roller of the clamping roller structure is rotatably mounted on the two clamping mounting seats. Multiple inlet and outlet guide blocks extend side by side on multiple sub-rollers, and each inlet and outlet guide block has a guide inlet and a guide outlet at both ends, which can guide the flattened flexible plate in and out of the flattening gap.

[0059] During the process of conveying a single sheet of flexible flexographic board to the laminator 200, the flexographic board cleaning structure 150 cleans both sides of the flexographic board to be laminated, ensuring that both sides are clean. This facilitates the subsequent lamination of the dry film onto the flexographic board by the laminator 200, preventing impurities from adhering between the flexographic board and the dry film during the lamination process and affecting product quality. Furthermore, during the conveying process of the single sheet of flexible flexographic board to the laminator 200, the flexographic board flattening structure 160 flattens the flexographic board to be laminated, ensuring that the flexographic board enters the laminator 200 in a straight state, allowing the surface of the flexographic board to better adhere to the dry film.

[0060] Furthermore, in step S200, the flexible plate sensor 202 detects the feeding status of the flexible plate to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator 200. When it detects that there is a flexible plate to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator 200, the laminator 200 is controlled to continuously output the roll of dry film and laminate it onto the flexible plate to obtain continuous flexible plate material. This can further include the following steps:

[0061] S210, Control the flexible plate sensor 202 to detect the feeding status of the flexible plate to be laminated on the feeding side of the laminating machine 200, and detect whether the flexible plate to be laminated has entered the feeding side of the laminating machine 200.

[0062] S220. When it is detected that there is a flexible board to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator 200, the laminator 200 is controlled to continuously output the roll of dry film and laminate it onto the flexible board to obtain continuous flexible board material.

[0063] S230. When it is detected that there is no flexible board to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator 200, the laminator 200 is controlled to stop outputting the roll of dry film.

[0064] By detecting whether there is a flexible plate to be laminated on the feed side of the laminator 200, dry film can be output for lamination when there is a flexible plate to be laminated, and the output of dry film can be stopped when there is no flexible plate to be laminated, thus avoiding the waste of dry film material caused by the laminator 200 continuously outputting dry film.

[0065] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the flexographic board buffer mechanism 300 may include a buffer frame 310, a feed guide roller structure 320 and a discharge guide roller structure 330 respectively disposed on the feed side and discharge side of the top of the buffer frame 310, a buffer roller structure 350 disposed at the bottom of the buffer frame 310, and a drive roller structure 340 disposed in the middle of the buffer frame 310. Therefore, in step S300, controlling the laminator 200 to convey continuous flexographic board material to the flexographic board buffer mechanism 300 for buffering, and controlling the flexographic board buffer mechanism 300 to convey the continuous flexographic board material to the flexographic board cutting output mechanism 400, may further include the following steps:

[0066] S310, control the film press 200 to convey continuous flexible board material to the feed guide roller structure 320 on the feed side of the top of the buffer frame 310 of the flexible board buffer mechanism 300, and control the feed guide roller structure 320 to guide and convey the continuous flexible board material to the drive roller structure 340 in the middle of the buffer frame 310.

[0067] S320, control the drive roller structure 340 to convey the continuous flexible plate material to the buffer roller structure 350 at the bottom of the buffer frame 310, and control the buffer roller structure 350 to buffer the continuous flexible plate material.

[0068] S330, the discharge guide roller structure 330 on the discharge side of the top of the control buffer rack 310 guides and conveys the continuous flexible board material buffered on the buffer roller structure 350 to the dry film cutting mechanism 430 of the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400.

[0069] By using the feed guide roller structure 320 and the discharge guide roller structure 330 provided on both sides of the top of the buffer rack 310, the drive roller structure 340 provided in the middle of the buffer rack 310, and the buffer roller structure 350 provided at the bottom of the buffer rack 310, a U-shaped flexible plate buffer structure can be formed, which can buffer the continuous flexible plate material before cutting the dry film on the continuous flexible plate material. Furthermore, the feed guide roller structure 320 can guide the continuous flexible board material from the top of the buffer rack 310 into the flexible board buffer mechanism 300. The drive roller structure 340 can pull the continuous flexible board material to convey it from the feed guide roller structure 320 at the top of the buffer rack 310 to the buffer roller structure 350 at the bottom of the buffer rack 310. The buffer roller structure 350 can guide the continuous flexible board material from the bottom of the buffer rack 310 to the discharge guide roller structure 330 at the top of the buffer rack 310. The discharge guide roller structure 330 can guide the continuous flexible board material to the dry film cutting mechanism 430.

[0070] Furthermore, the drive roller structure 340 may include a roller drive structure 342 disposed on the buffer frame 310, and a drive roller 344 connected to the roller drive structure 342. The drive roller 344 may be located in the middle of the buffer frame 310 and close to the feed side of the buffer frame 310. The drive roller 344 is driven to rotate by the roller drive structure 342, so that the drive roller 344 pulls and guides the continuous flexible plate material at the feed guide roller structure 320, causing the continuous flexible plate material to actively move towards the buffer roller structure 350.

[0071] Furthermore, the buffer roller structure 350 may include a roller lifting structure 352 respectively disposed on each of the two side walls of the buffer frame 310, and a buffer conveying roller 354 disposed on the two roller lifting structures 352. Therefore, in step S320, controlling the buffer roller structure 350 to buffer the continuous flexible plate material may further include the following steps:

[0072] S322. When the feeding speed of the feed guide roller structure 320 conveying the continuous flexible plate material is greater than the discharge speed of the discharge guide roller structure 330 conveying the continuous flexible plate material, the control roller lifting structure 352 drives the buffer conveying roller 354 to descend in order to increase the buffer amount of the continuous flexible plate material.

[0073] S324. When the feeding speed of the feed guide roller structure 320 conveying the continuous flexible plate material is less than the discharge speed of the discharge guide roller structure 330 conveying the continuous flexible plate material, the control roller lifting structure 352 drives the buffer conveying roller 354 to rise and fall to reduce the buffer amount of the continuous flexible plate material.

[0074] When the continuous flexible plate material on the buffer conveyor roller 354 becomes slack, it proves that the feeding speed of the continuous flexible plate material conveyed by the feed guide roller structure 320 is greater than the discharge speed of the continuous flexible plate material conveyed by the discharge guide roller structure 330; when the continuous flexible plate material on the buffer conveyor roller 354 becomes taut, it proves that the feeding speed of the continuous flexible plate material conveyed by the feed guide roller structure 320 is less than the discharge speed of the continuous flexible plate material conveyed by the discharge guide roller structure 330. The buffer conveyor roller 354 can be raised and lowered by the roller lifting structure 352, and the height of the buffer conveyor roller 354 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the buffer conveyor roller 354 and the feed guide roller structure 320 and the discharge guide roller structure 330. This allows for adjustment of the length of the continuous flexible plate material buffered on the U-shaped flexible plate buffer structure, thereby increasing or decreasing the buffer amount of the continuous flexible plate material.

[0075] Furthermore, one or more buffer roller structures 350 can be installed on the buffer rack 310 as needed to increase the buffer capacity for continuous flexible board materials.

[0076] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 may include a feeding rack 410, a dry film cutting mechanism 430 connected to the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 and mounted on the feeding rack 410, and a product unloading mechanism connected to the dry film cutting mechanism 430. Wherein, as Figure 7 As shown, the dry film cutting mechanism 430 may include a cutting rotary drive 432 mounted on the discharge rack 410, a cutting blade structure 434 mounted on the cutting rotary drive 432, and a flexible plate visual inspection structure 402 mounted on the discharge rack 410 and located on the feeding side of the cutting blade structure 434 (e.g., a flexible plate visual inspection structure 402). Figure 9 (As shown).

[0077] Therefore, in step S400, controlling the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material to obtain a single sheet of laminated flexible board product may further include the following steps:

[0078] S410. When the continuous flexible board material is conveyed to the feed side of the dry film cutting mechanism 430 through the flexible board buffer mechanism 300, the flexible board vision detection structure 402 is controlled to detect the outline shape of the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material.

[0079] S420. Based on the detected outline shape of the edge of the flexible board to be cut, control the cutting rotation drive 432 to rotate the cutting blade structure 434 so that the cutting line of the cutting blade structure 434 corresponds to and matches the outline shape outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut.

[0080] S430, the control cutting blade structure 434 cuts off the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, and obtains a single sheet of film-coated flexible board product.

[0081] For the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material, the outline shape outside its edge may be straight, oblique, or irregular. Before the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material is conveyed to the dry film cutting mechanism 430 by the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 for cutting, the outline shape outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut can be detected by the flexible board visual inspection structure 402 set on the feeding side. This makes it easy to adjust the cutting blade structure 434 according to the outline shape outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, so that the cutting line of the cutting blade structure 434 (referring to the line of contact and cutting between the cutting blade 4348 and the continuous flexible board material when the cutting blade structure 434 cuts the continuous flexible board material) corresponds to the outline shape outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, thus avoiding damage to the flexible board during the cutting process.

[0082] Furthermore, in step S400, controlling the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material to obtain a single sheet of laminated flexible board product may further include the following steps:

[0083] S4102. When the continuous flexible plate material is conveyed to the feed side of the dry film cutting mechanism 430 through the flexible plate buffer mechanism 300, the edges of the flexible plate to be cut on the continuous flexible plate material are respectively the first edge and the second edge of the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434.

[0084] S4104, the control flexible plate visual detection structure 402 detects the first contour shape of the first edge of the flexible plate to be cut and the second contour shape of the second edge, respectively.

[0085] S4202. Based on the detected first and second contour shapes of the flexible board to be cut, control the cutting rotation drive 432 to rotate the cutting blade structure 434 so that the cutting line of the cutting blade structure 434 corresponds to and matches the first and second contour shapes outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut.

[0086] S4302, the control cutting blade structure 434 cuts the excess dry film outside the first edge and the excess dry film outside the second edge of the flexible board to be cut, respectively, to obtain a single sheet of film-coated flexible board product.

[0087] Generally, each flexible board to be cut on a continuous flexible board material has two edges, namely a first edge and a second edge. Before cutting each flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material, it is necessary to detect the contour shapes of the first edge and the second edge of the flexible board to be cut, namely the first contour shape of the first edge and the second contour shape of the second edge. Then, the cutting blade structure 434 can be rotated by the cutting rotation drive 432, so that when the rotating cutting blade structure 434 cuts off the dry film outside the first edge and the dry film outside the second edge of the flexible board to be cut, it corresponds to the first contour shape of the first edge and the second contour shape of the second edge, respectively. In this way, it can be ensured that the edges of the single film-coated flexible board product obtained by cutting are intact and accurate, and will not be damaged by cutting.

[0088] Furthermore, in step S430, controlling the cutting blade structure 434 to cut off the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, obtaining a single sheet of the laminated flexible board product, may further include the following steps:

[0089] S432. Obtain the pre-set cutting allowance size of the dry film protruding beyond the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material, and control the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 to convey the continuous flexible board material to the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434.

[0090] S434. When the real-time protrusion size of the dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, which is conveyed to the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434, meets the cutting film retention size requirement, the cutting blade structure 434 is controlled to cut off the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, so as to obtain a single sheet of film-coated flexible board product.

[0091] When cutting the dry film protruding beyond the edge of the flexible board on a continuous flexible board material, it is necessary to cut from the dry film at a preset distance from the edge of the flexible board to be cut. That is, the cutting line on the dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut by the cutting blade structure 434 needs to have a cutting allowance size between it and the edge of the flexible board to be cut, so that there is still a cutting allowance size of dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut after cutting, so as to further ensure that the flexible board is not cut when cutting the excess dry film.

[0092] Furthermore, in step S434, when the real-time protrusion size of the dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, which is conveyed to the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434, meets the cutting film retention size requirement, the cutting blade structure 434 is controlled to cut off the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, which further includes the following steps:

[0093] S4342. When the continuous flexible board material is conveyed to the feed side of the dry film cutting mechanism 430 through the flexible board buffer mechanism 300, the edges of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material that pass through the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434 are respectively the first edge and the second edge; the cut film retention size includes the first film retention size corresponding to the dry film outside the first edge of the flexible board to be cut, and the second film retention size corresponding to the dry film outside the second edge of the flexible board to be cut;

[0094] S4344 When the actual protrusion dimension of the dry film outside the first edge of the flexible board to be cut reaches the first film retention dimension from the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434, the cutting blade structure 434 is controlled to cut off the excess dry film outside the first edge of the flexible board to be cut.

[0095] S4344 When the dry film outside the second edge of the flexible board to be cut exceeds the actual protrusion size of the cutting side of the cutting blade structure 434 and reaches the second film retention size, the cutting blade structure 434 is controlled to cut off the excess dry film outside the second edge of the flexible board to be cut.

[0096] Since each flexible board to be cut has two edges (i.e., the first edge and the second edge), a first film allowance size needs to be set outside the first edge and a second film allowance size needs to be set outside the second edge when cutting it, so that the cut film-coated flexible board product has a dry film with the first film allowance size outside the first edge and a dry film with the second film allowance size outside the second edge.

[0097] Furthermore, the cutting blade structure 434 may include a cutting base frame 4342 mounted on the cutting rotation drive member 432, a cutting blade holder 4344 mounted on the cutting base frame 4342, a blade lifting drive member 4346 mounted on the cutting blade holder 4344, and a cutting blade 4348 slidably mounted on the cutting blade holder 4344 and connected to the blade lifting drive member 4346, with a cutting gap 436 formed between the cutting blade 4348 and the cutting base frame 4342. Therefore, in step S430, controlling the cutting blade structure 434 to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut may further include the following steps:

[0098] When the cutting rotation drive 432 controls the cutting blade structure 434 to rotate so that the cutting line of the cutting blade 4348 of the cutting blade structure 434 corresponds to the outline shape outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 controls the flexible board buffer mechanism 300 to transport the dry film to be cut outside the edge of the flexible board to the cutting side of the cutting gap 436 of the cutting blade structure 434.

[0099] The cutting tool lifting drive 4346 of the control cutting tool structure 434 drives the cutting tool 4348 to descend to the cutting side of the cutting gap 436, so that the cutting tool 4348 cuts the dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut, so as to cut off the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut.

[0100] Furthermore, in step S430, controlling the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to cut the excess dry film outside the edge of the flexible board to be cut on the continuous flexible board material may also include the following steps:

[0101] S436. When any abnormality is detected in any of the flexible board feeding mechanism 100, the film pressing machine 200, the flexible board buffer mechanism 300, and the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400, a first pause signal and a second pause signal are sent to the flexible board feeding mechanism 100 and the film pressing machine 200, respectively.

[0102] S437. When the flexible plate feeding mechanism 100 receives the first pause signal, control the flexible plate feeding mechanism 100 to stop feeding.

[0103] S438. When the film press 200 receives the second pause signal, control the film press 200 to stop film output and film pressing.

[0104] When an abnormality occurs during the cutting process, the equipment will alarm and simultaneously send a signal to the relay. Upon receiving the signal, the relay will issue two signals (a first pause signal and a second pause signal). The first pause signal can be sent to the first material handling structure 130 of the flexographic board feeding mechanism 100, causing it to stop picking up and feeding material; the second pause signal can be sent to the laminator 200, causing it to stop feeding film and laminating film after sensing a board-free state. This effectively saves dry film and prevents excessive accumulation of continuous flexographic board material after lamination within the U-shaped flexographic board buffer structure (i.e., the flexographic board buffer mechanism 300), which would affect the lamination quality.

[0105] In addition, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the product unloading mechanism may include an unloading conveying structure 420 disposed on the unloading rack 410 and connected to the dry film cutting mechanism 430, a second picking and placing structure 440 disposed above the unloading conveying structure 420, and a second material bin 450 disposed on the unloading rack 410 and correspondingly disposed above and below the second picking and placing structure 440. Therefore, in step S400, controlling the flexible board cutting output mechanism 400 to unload a single sheet of laminated flexible board product may further include the following steps:

[0106] S440: Control the second picking and placing structure 440 to pick up a single sheet of film-coated flexible board product from the discharge conveying structure 420 and transfer it to the second material warehouse 450 for stacking and storage.

Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the flexible board laminating equipment 10 may include a flexible board feeding mechanism 100, a laminating machine 200 connected to the flexible board feeding mechanism 100, a flexible board buffer mechanism 300 connected to the laminating machine 200, and a flexible board cutting and output mechanism 400 connected to the flexible board buffer mechanism 300. The laminating machine 200 has a flexible board sensor 202 on its feed side, which is used to detect whether a flexible board has entered the feed side of the laminating machine 200. Specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, the flexible plate lamination system may include:

[0108] The feeding control module 1100 is used to control the flexible board feeding mechanism 100 to pick up the single flexible board to be laminated and convey it to the laminator 200.
