[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0038] It is understood that although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flow chart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims or the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0039] When designing a PCB board with gold fingers, in order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the gold fingers into the connector slots, the board edges at the gold fingers will be chamfered. However, due to the influence of the chamfering angle, the copper thickness of the gold fingers, the chamfering depth, the accuracy of the gold finger beveling machine, etc., the gold fingers are often cut during processing, resulting in problems such as exposed copper, pulled copper, and finger short circuits, which will cause the circuit board to be scrapped.

[0040] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a circuit board chamfer cutting device, method, apparatus and medium. The chamfer cutting of the circuit board is inclined cutting, not vertical cutting. During the inclined cutting process, since the tool is inclined, if the cutting is too deep, the tool may touch the copper layer. Therefore, by comprehensively considering the copper layer thickness, cutting angle and the first distance, the cutting depth and cutting distance are determined, and then cutting is performed to effectively avoid the cutting tool from cutting the copper layer during the chamfer cutting process.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A partial schematic diagram of a circuit board chamfering cutting device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] It can be understood that the circuit board chamfer cutting equipment includes a clamping device for clamping the circuit board to be cut, a first cutting knife and a second cutting knife symmetrically arranged, and a parameter acquisition device for acquiring parameters of the circuit board to be cut, wherein, when the circuit board to be cut is clamped in the clamping device, the first cutting knife is located above the circuit board to be cut, and the second cutting knife is located below the circuit board to be cut, so that the first cutting knife and the second cutting knife can cut the upper surface and the lower surface of the circuit board to be cut.

[0043] It should be noted that when a copper layer is provided on the upper surface of the substrate, the first cutting knife can be controlled to perform chamfer cutting on the upper surface of the circuit board to be cut; when a copper layer is provided on the lower surface of the substrate, the second cutting knife can be controlled to perform chamfer cutting on the lower surface of the circuit board to be cut; when copper layers are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate, the first cutting knife and the second cutting knife can be controlled to perform chamfer cutting on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board to be cut at the same time.

[0044] First, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart of a circuit board chamfering method provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied to Figure 1 The circuit board chamfering cutting device and the circuit board chamfering cutting method shown include but are not limited to the following steps:

[0045] Step S100, obtaining the thickness of the copper layer, a preset cutting angle and a first distance of the substrate;

[0046] Step S200, determining a safe cutting distance according to the copper layer thickness and the cutting angle;

[0047] Step S300, determining a cutting depth and a cutting distance according to the safe cutting distance and the first distance, and controlling the first cutting knife and / or the second cutting knife to cut the substrate according to the cutting depth and the cutting distance.

[0048] It can be understood that the circuit board to be cut includes a substrate and a copper layer, the substrate includes a first end and a second end, the distance between the first end and the second end is the width of the substrate, one end of the copper layer is flush with the first end, and the distance between the other end of the copper layer and the second end is the first distance, and the cutting knife cuts the second end of the substrate according to a preset cutting angle to form a chamfer. During the cutting process, since the cutting knife cuts according to the preset cutting angle, if the cutting distance is too deep, the cutting knife will contact the copper layer, resulting in damage to the copper layer. Therefore, the safe cutting distance can be determined first according to the thickness of the copper layer and the cutting angle. During the cutting process, the distance between the second end of the substrate and the other end of the copper layer will continue to decrease. When the distance between the second end of the substrate and the other end of the copper layer cut by the cutting knife is greater than the safe cutting distance, the cutting knife will not contact the copper layer. Then, according to the safe cutting distance and the first distance, the cutting depth and cutting distance are determined, and then the first cutting knife and / or the second cutting knife are controlled to cut the substrate according to the cutting depth and cutting distance, which can effectively avoid the situation where the cutting knife cuts the copper layer during the chamfering cutting process.

[0049] It should be noted that when the substrate is only provided with an upper surface copper layer, the first cutting knife is controlled to cut the substrate; when the substrate is only provided with a lower surface copper layer, the second cutting knife is controlled to cut the substrate.

[0050] It should be noted that the safe cutting distance is determined by the following formula: H / tan(a)=L, where H is the thickness of the copper layer, a is the cutting angle, and L is the safe cutting distance.

[0051] Specifically, when the safe cutting distance is greater than the first distance, it means that the cutting knife may touch the copper layer as long as it cuts. Therefore, when the safe cutting distance is greater than the first distance, the substrate cannot be cut any further to avoid damage to the copper layer, and a first alarm signal is issued to remind the user to make timely adjustments. The first alarm signal can also be sent to the user's mobile device based on pre-set user mobile device contact information. The first alarm signal includes but is not limited to text message reminders, telephone voice reminders, etc. The circuit board chamfering cutting equipment can also send the first alarm signal by directly issuing a sound warning signal or an optical prompt signal.

[0052] Specifically, when the cutting depth is greater than the thickness of the substrate, it means that the cutting knife over-cuts, which leads to poor chamfering effect. Therefore, when the cutting depth is greater than the thickness of the substrate, the substrate cannot be cut any further to avoid over-cutting, and a second alarm signal is issued to remind the user to make timely adjustments. The second alarm signal can also be sent to the user's mobile device based on pre-set user mobile device contact information. The second alarm signal includes but is not limited to text message reminders, telephone voice reminders, etc. The circuit board chamfer cutting equipment can also send the second alarm signal by directly issuing a sound warning signal or an optical prompt signal.

[0053] It should be noted that the first alarm signal and the second alarm signal are different alarm signals. For example, the first alarm signal and the second alarm signal are both sound warning signals. The first alarm signal may be a beep, and the second alarm signal may be an intermittent voice prompt (such as: there is a risk of overcutting, etc.).

[0054] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of a circuit board chamfering cutting method provided in another embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0055] Step S400, obtaining a first copper layer thickness of the upper surface copper layer and a second copper layer thickness of the lower surface copper layer;

[0056] Step S410, when the first copper layer thickness is greater than or equal to the second copper layer thickness, determining the first copper layer thickness as the copper layer thickness;

[0057] Step S420: when the first copper layer thickness is less than the second copper layer thickness, determine the second copper layer thickness as the copper layer thickness.

[0058] It is understandable that when both the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate are provided with a copper layer, if the safe cutting distance is calculated according to the thickness of the upper copper layer or the lower copper layer, the cutting knife may touch the copper layer on the other surface. Therefore, when the thickness of the first copper layer is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second copper layer, the thickness of the first copper layer is determined as the copper layer thickness; or, when the thickness of the first copper layer is less than the thickness of the second copper layer, the thickness of the second copper layer is determined as the copper layer thickness. That is, the side with the larger copper layer thickness is selected as the copper layer thickness, and the safe cutting distance is calculated to avoid the cutting knife touching the copper layer.

[0059] It should be noted that when the substrate is provided with an upper surface copper layer and a lower surface copper layer, the first cutting knife and the second cutting knife are controlled to cut the substrate simultaneously.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 2 The specific flow chart of step S200 includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0061] Step S210, obtaining an error value of a circuit board chamfer cutting device;

[0062] Step S220, determining a safe cutting distance according to the error value, the copper layer thickness and the cutting angle.

[0063] It is understandable that due to the cutting accuracy of the circuit board chamfer cutting equipment, the calculated safe cutting distance may deviate from the actual safe cutting distance. Therefore, the safe cutting distance can be determined based on the error value, copper layer thickness and cutting angle to avoid the cutting knife touching the copper layer during the cutting process.

[0064] Specifically, the safe cutting distance can be determined by the following formula Among them, H is the thickness of the copper layer, a is the cutting angle, and L is the safe cutting distance. is the error value.

[0065] Second, refer to Figure 5 The present application embodiment provides an operation control device 500, including a memory 510, a processor 520, and a computer program stored in the memory 510 and executable on the processor 520. The processor 520 executes the program to implement the circuit board chamfering cutting method of the first embodiment, for example, Figure 2 The method steps S100 to S300, Figure 3 Steps S400 to S420 and Figure 4 Step S210 to step S220.

[0066] The memory 510 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that can be used to store non-transitory software programs and non-transitory computer executable programs, such as the circuit board chamfer cutting method in the above embodiment of the present application. The processor 520 implements the circuit board chamfer cutting method in the above embodiment of the present application by running the non-transitory software program and instructions stored in the memory 510.

It should be noted that the memory 510 may optionally include a memory 510 remotely arranged relative to the processor 520, and these remote memories 510 may be connected to the terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0068] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, comprising an operation control device 500 as described in the embodiment of the second aspect above.

[0069] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-executable instructions are used to cause a computer to execute the circuit board chamfering cutting method according to the first aspect of the present application, for example, to execute Figure 2 The method steps S100 to S300, Figure 3 Steps S400 to S420 and Figure 4 Step S210 to step S220.

[0070] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that all or some of the steps and systems in the disclosed methods above may be implemented as software, firmware, hardware and appropriate combinations thereof. Some physical components or all physical components may be implemented as software executed by a processor, such as a central processing unit, a digital signal processor or a microprocessor, or implemented as hardware, or implemented as an integrated circuit, such as an application specific integrated circuit.
