[0060] The circuit board splitter is a fully automated production equipment used to cut, split and slit various circuit boards. Most of the existing splitters use milling cutters to split boards, which easily generates dust during the processing and requires the addition of dust cleaning equipment, which is costly. In addition, since the cutting positions of circuit boards of different sizes are different, when it comes to product replacement or cutting position changes, it is often necessary to disassemble the cutting tool and re-adjust the position, which not only consumes manpower but also affects processing efficiency.

[0061] Moreover, after the installation of components such as resistors, capacitors, and chips, the circuit board forms a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly). Common PCBAs are usually connected by stamp holes, and the existing milling cutter board separation machines are not suitable for PCBAs with V-cut connections.

[0062] In view of this, the present invention provides a board cutting device that can adapt to the cutting of circuit board materials of different specifications and different connection methods, without the need to disassemble and debug the tool. At the same time, less dust is generated during the cutting process, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces cleaning costs.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The panel separation equipment 100 includes a first panel separation device 1, a conveying device 3 and a feeding device 2. The first panel separation device 1 includes a cutting unit for dividing a material plate into multiple material blocks. The cutting unit includes at least one first cutting knife 11 movably arranged in a horizontal direction. The conveying device 3 is used to convey the material plate to be cut in a horizontal direction. The conveying path of the conveying device 3 passes through the first panel separation device 1; the feeding device 2 includes a blocking member 21 that is movable in the up and down directions and in the horizontal direction. The blocking member 21 has a positioning state and an adjustment state. When the blocking member 21 is in the adjustment state, the distance between the blocking member 21 and the cutting unit along the conveying direction of the conveying device 3 is adjustable and can avoid the material plate. When the blocking member 21 is in the positioning state, the blocking member 21 is relatively fixed to the cutting unit and abuts against the edge of the material plate.

[0064] In the technical solution of the present invention, the feeding device 2 and the cutting unit cooperate to realize the self-adaptation of different cutting widths of different material boards. Specifically, the distance between the blocking member 21 and the cutting unit is the cutting width of the material. When the blocking member 21 is in the positioning state, when the material board moves to abut against the blocking member 21, the cutting line of the cutting unit and the material board corresponds. Corresponding to different material boards and different cutting requirements, only the position of the blocking member 21 needs to be adjusted, so that the board separation device 100 has good versatility, can quickly match materials with different cutting requirements and different specifications, without disassembling the tool, can achieve the effect of rapid debugging, and improve production efficiency.

[0065] Initially, the blocking member 21 is in an adjustment state, and the distance between the blocking member 21 and the cutting unit is adjusted according to the processing requirements of the current material board. After debugging is completed, the movably arranged first cutting knife 11 is kept on the side of the conveying device 3, and the blocking member 21 is converted to a positioning state. When the conveying device 3 drives the material board to move, when the edge of the material board abuts against the blocking member 21, the straight line where the first cutting knife 11 is located coincides with the cutting line of the material board, and the first cutting knife 11 is driven to move to complete the cutting of the material board.

[0066] The present invention does not limit the structural form of the conveying device 3, which can be a structural form in which a stepper motor drives a conveyor belt. In this embodiment, the conveying device 3 includes a first conveying component 31, and the first conveying component 31 includes two conveying frames 312 arranged opposite to each other in a horizontal direction, and two conveyor belts 311 arranged on the two conveying frames 312. The two conveyor belts 311 are used to jointly carry material plates. The distance between the two conveying frames 312 is adjustable, so as to achieve adaptation to material plates of different specifications. At the same time, the cutting knife located below can be avoided.

[0067] It should be understood that the position of the first cutting knife 11 in the up-down direction is unchanged, therefore, the blocking member 21 can be matched with the first cutting knife 11. In some embodiments, the first panel splitting device 1 includes a mounting bracket 13 located above the conveying device 3; the first cutting knife 11 is movably mounted to the mounting bracket 13 in the horizontal direction; the blocking member 21 is located on one side of the first cutting knife 11 in the horizontal direction, and the blocking member 21 is movably mounted to the mounting bracket 13 in the horizontal direction and in the up-down direction. At this time, the first cutting knife 11 and the blocking member 21 are both mounted on the mounting bracket 13, the blocking member 21 is adjusted for bidirectional movement, and the first cutting knife 11 is adjusted for unidirectional movement. Specifically, the mounting bracket 13 can be T-shaped or L-shaped, so as to facilitate the adaptation of the different movement trajectories of the first cutting knife 11 and the blocking member 21.

[0068] In other embodiments, the blocking member 21 may be disposed on the frame of the conveying device 3 . In this case, the blocking member 21 and the first cutting blade 11 are independent of each other, which will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0069] It should be noted that the first cutting knife 11 can be driven to move and cut by a linear drive module, the lifting and lowering of the blocking member 21 can be achieved by a cylinder or a screw drive, and the horizontal movement of the blocking member 21 can be achieved by a linear drive module or a cylinder or a screw structure. It should be understood that the drive structure of the blocking member 21 and the first cutting knife 11 should be independent of each other and should not affect each other.

[0070] In the present invention, the structural form of the cutting unit is not limited. The cutting unit can be a single-sided tool or a combination of upper and lower double-sided tools. For example, the cutting unit can be a combination of double-sided tools. In this case, two first cutting knives 11 can be set relatively along the upper and lower directions, and the two first cutting knives 11 can move synchronously in the horizontal direction.

[0071] Furthermore, the first cutting knife 11 can be set as a roller, which is a tool that performs a rotating cutting motion during the cutting process, that is, during the moving cutting process of the first cutting knife 11, rotational cutting can be performed simultaneously. The arrangement direction of multiple first cutting knives 11 is the same as the moving direction, and multiple first cutting knives 11 are arranged along the same straight line, which can improve the cutting efficiency.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cutting unit further includes a second cutting knife 12, which is arranged opposite to the first cutting knife 11 in the vertical direction and can move in the vertical direction. The material plate is segmented by the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 which are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. When the material passes through the cutting unit, the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 are in contact with the surface of the material together, thereby being subjected to the extrusion force to achieve the segmentation of the material plate. This cutting method is not easy to generate dust, so that there is no need to add dust cleaning equipment during the layout, which saves costs.

[0073] At the same time, when the transfer direction of the material plate is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the first cutting knife 11, that is, the material plate is transported along the first horizontal direction, and the first cutting knife 11 is movable and cut along the second horizontal direction, the lifting and lowering adjustment of the second cutting knife 12 can avoid interference between the material plate transfer process and the second cutting knife 11. Specifically, during the cutting process, the material plate is fixed relative to the second cutting knife 12 by the blocking member 21. At this time, the coordination between the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 is maintained. After the first cutting knife 11 completes cutting, the second cutting knife 12 is driven to fall and the blocking member 21 is driven to lift, so that the material blocks cut by the material plate can be transferred to the subsequent process for further processing.

[0074] Based on the above embodiment, considering that during the cutting process of the first panel splitting device 1, the second cutting blade 12 is also subjected to downward extrusion force, the second cutting blade 12 not only needs to meet the function of lifting and lowering adjustment, but also needs to be able to avoid movement under the action of downward pressure. In view of this, in some implementations, please refer to Figure 4The first panel dividing device 1 also includes a lifting and adjusting structure 14, which includes a base 141, a connecting seat 142 and a filling structure 143. The base 141 is located below the second cutting knife 12, and the connecting seat 142 is movably installed on the base 141 along the up and down directions. The connecting seat 142 is connected to the second cutting knife 12; the filling structure 143 is arranged between the connecting seat 142 and the base 141, and has a supporting state of supporting and fixing the connecting seat 142 and the base 141, and an avoiding state of at least partially staggered with the connecting seat 142 so that the connecting seat 142 can move relative to the base 141. The base 141 serves as a load-bearing device and can be set on the machine table or placed on the bottom surface. The connecting seat 142 is installed on the base 141 through a driving structure and can reciprocate in the up and down directions, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the second cutting knife 12. Taking into account the structural coordination and processing errors, even if the driving part 44 of the connecting seat 142 has the function of locking the driving position, there will inevitably be gaps between the connecting seat 142 and the base 141. These gaps may cause the second cutting knife 12 to be subjected to greater pressure and passively move downward. Therefore, a filling structure 143 is provided. In the supporting state, the filling structure 143 can fill the gap between the connecting seat 142 and the base 141. In the avoidance state, sufficient space is reserved for the lifting and lowering of the connecting seat 142.

[0075] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the filling structure 143, which can be a movable block structure. In this embodiment, the filling structure 143 includes a support member 1431 and a load-bearing block 1432. The support member 1431 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting seat 142. When the connecting seat 142 moves upward, the support member 1431 can form a matching gap extending in the vertical direction with the base 141; the load-bearing block 1432 is movably installed to the base 141 along the horizontal direction, and the load-bearing block 1432 can be movably extended into the matching gap to support the support member 1431 and the base 141. The support member 1431 plays a role of auxiliary matching. When the load-bearing block 1432 and the connecting seat 142 completely avoid each other, the support member 1431 can be used as a mechanical limit. When the support member 1431 and the base 141 are against each other, the connecting seat 142 cannot continue to descend. At the same time, the setting of the support member 1431 can also fill part of the gap between the connecting seat 142 and the base 141 to avoid the load-bearing block 1432 being too large. The conversion between the supporting state and the avoiding state can be achieved by moving the load-bearing block 1432.

[0076] The present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the load-bearing block 1432. When the thickness of the load-bearing block 1432 in the up and down directions is consistent, the state change is achieved by moving the load-bearing block 1432 to the fitting gap or completely out of the fitting gap. When the thickness of the load-bearing block 1432 in the up and down directions is set to change, the state change is achieved by moving the high point of the load-bearing block 1432 to the fitting gap, or moving the low point of the load-bearing block 1432 to the fitting gap.

[0077] In this embodiment, the load-bearing block 1432 is arranged in a stepped manner to have a first mating surface and a second mating surface spaced apart in the up and down directions. The first mating surface and the second mating surface respectively correspond to form two gear positions. In the supporting state, the second mating surface is in the mating gap and is against the support member 1431. In the avoidance state, the second mating surface is in the mating gap to be against or spaced apart from the support member 1431.

[0078] Specifically, the load-bearing block 1432 is driven by a first cylinder 144 arranged in the horizontal direction, the cylinder barrel of the first cylinder 144 is fixed on the base 141, the cylinder rod is connected to the side end of the load-bearing block 1432, and the connecting seat 142 is driven by a second cylinder 145 arranged in the vertical direction, the second cylinder 145 is located between the two support members 1431, the cylinder barrel of the second cylinder 145 is fixed on the base 141, and the cylinder rod is fixed to the connecting seat 142. When the designer takes avoidance into consideration, the load-bearing block 1432 is arranged in two, and the two load-bearing blocks 1432 are arranged on both sides of the second cylinder 145, and the two weighing blocks are connected to the first cylinder 144.

[0079] When cutting the material plate, the material plate can be equally divided into multiple material blocks, or the functional part and the edge material part of the material plate can be divided into multiple material blocks, and the edge material part can be scrapped. In some embodiments, the panel separation device 100 also includes a second panel separation device 4 located on one side of the first panel separation device 1 in the horizontal direction. The second panel separation device 4 includes two panel separation structures arranged relatively in the upper and lower directions. The two panel separation structures are used to jointly divide the material block into multiple board units. Each panel separation structure includes multiple panel separation knives 41 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction and rotatingly arranged along the axis extending in the horizontal direction. The spacing between each two adjacent panel separation knives 41 is adjustable; the conveying stroke of the conveying device 3 passes through the second panel separation device 4. The whole block of material first passes through the first panel separation device 1 and is cut into strip-shaped material blocks. The material blocks then pass through the second panel separation device 4 to obtain multiple board units. The distance between the multiple panel separation knives 41 is adjustable, so as to realize adaptive cutting of material blocks with different specifications and different cutting requirements, so as to have good versatility.

[0080] In the technical solution of the present invention, the cutting directions of the first cutting knife 11 and the panel splitting knife 41 are perpendicular. Specifically, the material board is divided into multiple material blocks along the second horizontal direction, and each material block is divided into multiple panel units along the first horizontal direction through the second panel splitting unit in turn.

[0081] In other embodiments, the cutting directions of the first cutting knife 11 and the panel separating knife 41 are consistent. In this case, when the material block is circulated, the posture of the material block needs to be changed.

[0082] In order to adjust the spacing between the plurality of plate splitting knives 41, in some embodiments, a plurality of clamping cylinders may be provided, each clamping cylinder clamping the knife seats of two plate splitting knives 41. In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 to Figure 6 The second panel splitting device 4 includes a driving and adjusting assembly, which includes two screws 42 and a driving part 44. Both screws 42 rotate along an axis extending in the horizontal direction. Two gears 43 meshing with each other are provided at the ends of the two screws 42. The outer surface of each screw 42 is provided with a plurality of threaded segments. The rotation directions of two adjacent threaded segments are opposite. Each threaded segment is sleeved with a slider that moves linearly in the horizontal direction. The slider is provided for the corresponding panel splitting knife 41 to be rotatably installed. The driving part 44 is connected to one of the gears 43 to drive the two screws 42 to rotate synchronously. It should be understood that the matching form of the slider and the screw 42 is similar to the screw structure, so the slider will not rotate during the rotation of the screw 42, but will only move linearly. In this way, the number of threaded segments is set according to the number of panel splitting knives 41, and multiple panel splitting knives 41 can be adjusted synchronously, which is more efficient. When the number of split plates is reduced, the screw 42 can be rotated so that the split plate knife 41 at the edge is moved to the end of the screw 42 to avoid the material block, thereby eliminating the need to disassemble the split plate knife 41 and achieving rapid material change matching.

[0083] In this embodiment, the plurality of panel splitting knives 41 are all configured as rolling knives, or the panel splitting knives 41 located at the top may be rolling knives, and the panel splitting knives 41 located at the bottom may be gate knives.

[0084] During the cutting process of the panel splitting knife 41, since the material block is divided into multiple panel units at the same time, the tangent positions of two adjacent panel units will be stressed, so the material block is prone to warping during cutting, which affects the cutting effect. In some implementations, the panel splitting device 100 also includes a pre-cutting device 5, which is used to pre-cut at least one side of the material block in the up and down directions; the conveying path of the conveying device 3 passes through the first panel splitting device 1, the pre-cutting device 5 and the second panel splitting device 4 in sequence. Before the second panel splitting device 4 cuts, the material is first cut by the pre-cutting device 5 to disperse the stress. The pre-cutting device 5 will cause cuts on the surface of the material block, but will not directly cut the material block. When the pre-cut material block is cut by the second panel splitting device 4, the material block can be prevented from warping.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 5The pre-cutting device 5 includes a plurality of first pre-cutting knives 51 and a plurality of second pre-cutting knives 52. The plurality of first pre-cutting knives 51 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Each first pre-cutting knives 51 is arranged as a roller and can rotate along an axis extending in the horizontal direction; the plurality of second pre-cutting knives 52 are located below the plurality of first pre-cutting knives 51 and are arranged corresponding to the plurality of first pre-cutting knives 51. The plurality of second pre-cutting knives 52 are fixedly arranged and are arranged as gate knives. It should be understood that the number of the plurality of first pre-cutting knives 51 and the plurality of second pre-cutting knives 52 should be matched with the number of plate units. Since the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 mainly have the pre-cutting function, the second pre-cutting knife 52 does not interfere with the movement of the material block. The gap between the relatively arranged first pre-cutting knives 51 and the second pre-cutting knives 52 is greater than the gap between the relatively arranged two plate splitting knives 41.

[0086] In other embodiments, the pre-cutting device 5 may also have only an upper side knife or only a lower side knife.

[0087] In order to facilitate modular design, the pre-cutting device 5 and the second panel splitting device 4 can be installed on the same mounting seat. In this embodiment, the plurality of first pre-cutters 51 are installed through a shaft, the extension direction of the shaft is the same as the direction of the screw 42, the shaft and the two screws 42 are installed on the same mounting seat, and the shaft is spaced apart from the screw 42. The plurality of second pre-cutters 52 are mounted on the mounting seat through a connecting plate.

[0088] To prevent the material block from moving toward the feed side during cutting, please refer to Figure 7 The second panel splitting device 4 also includes a pusher 45, which is located on one side of the feeding direction of the second panel splitting device 4 and moves in the horizontal direction toward or away from the panel splitting structure. The pusher 45 is used to push the edge of the material block away from the panel splitting structure during the operation of the panel splitting structure. The pusher 45 can simultaneously abut the entire side of the material block, and always provide a propulsion force during the process of the material block entering the cutting process. Multiple pushers 45 can also be provided, corresponding to the positions of multiple panel units.

[0089] It should be noted that the pushing portion 45 can be configured as a pushing plate with a certain length, which is driven to move by a cylinder.

[0090] According to the different setting orientations of the first panel splitting device 1 and the second panel splitting device 4, the conveying device 3 can be set as two conveyor belt sections with perpendicular conveying directions, or the conveying device 3 can be set as two conveyor belt sections with the same conveying directions. In this embodiment, the conveying device 3 includes a first conveying assembly 31, a second conveying assembly 32 and a transfer assembly 33. The first conveying assembly 31 has a first conveying part, and the first conveying part moves through the first panel splitting device 1; the second conveying assembly 32 is located on one side of the first conveying assembly 31 in the horizontal direction, and the second conveying assembly 32 includes a second conveying part that is movably set in the horizontal direction, and the second conveying part moves through the second panel splitting device 4; the transfer assembly 33 includes a transfer part that is movably set in the horizontal direction and in the up and down directions, and the transfer part is used to pick up the material block on the first conveying part and transfer the material block to the second conveying part. The first conveying part and the second conveying part can be conveyor belts driven by a stepper motor, or can be movable platforms driven by a linear drive module. The structures of the first conveying part and the second conveying part can be the same or different. The transfer assembly 33 can be a multi-axis drive mechanism with pneumatic grippers or suction cups, which can realize the grabbing and transfer of material blocks.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first conveying part and the second conveying part are arranged to have the same conveying direction, and the transfer part can pick up the material block conveyed by the first conveying part and then place it in the second conveying part by translation.

[0092] Furthermore, the structures of the first conveying assembly 31 and the second conveying assembly 32 are different. The first conveying assembly 31 is composed of a conveying frame 312 and a conveyor belt 311. The second conveying unit includes a conveying table movably arranged in the horizontal direction and a loading fixture a detachably mounted on the conveying table. The loading fixture a is used to place a single material block. It should be noted that the loading fixture a needs to be compatible with the structure of the material block. When debugging different materials or different cutting positions, different loading fixtures a can be replaced. The conveying table can be driven by a linear drive module to perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0093] Since the conveyor platform and the material carrier a need to pass through the panel splitting knife 41 , in order to avoid the problem of active interference, corresponding avoidance grooves need to be provided on the conveyor platform and / or the material carrier a to allow the panel splitting knife 41 to be moved around.

[0094] It should be noted that, based on this structural form, the pushing portion 45 can be set on the material carrier a, and by reasonably setting the height and position of the pushing portion 45 in the up and down directions, the material can be pushed while avoiding the plate splitting knife 41.

[0095] Not only that, the axis of the loading jig a extending along the up and down directions can be rotated so that it can be engaged or separated with the conveyor table, that is, the loading jig a and the conveyor table cooperate through a rotating locking structure, the loading jig a is rotated 90° for installation, and flipped 90° for disassembly, which is convenient for quick installation and replacement of the loading jig a and the conveyor table.

[0096] Furthermore, the plate separation device 100 also includes a waste collection component 6, which includes a first guide plate 61 and a second guide plate 62. The first guide plate 61 is inclined in the up-down direction; the second guide plate 62 is inclined in the up-down direction and is arranged at an angle with the first guide plate 61, and the lower end of the second guide plate 62 is arranged corresponding to the first guide plate 61; the upper end of the first guide plate 61 or the second guide plate 62 is used to receive the cut edge material of the material plate. The first guide plate 61 and the second guide plate 62 can be correspondingly arranged at the discharge position of the first packaging device or the second plate separation device 4, and the cut edge material can fall on the first guide plate 61 or the second guide plate 62 due to gravity according to different positions, and can finally be discharged at the lower end of the first guide plate 61 along the inclined trajectory, so as to facilitate centralized collection.

[0097] Furthermore, the panel separation equipment 100 also includes a material discharge device 7, and the material discharge device 7 includes a loading platform 71 and a material discharge portion 72. The loading platform 71 is used to place a material box, and the material discharge portion 72 can move in the horizontal direction and in the up and down direction, and is used to transfer the material after panel separation into the material discharge box. The material discharge portion 72 can be a structure such as a clamping claw, a suction cup, etc., which is driven to move by a multi-axis driving structure, such as a gantry driving structure. The material discharge platform 71 is set on the side of the first panel separation device 1 or the second panel separation device 4 to support the placement of multiple material boxes. The cut material is transferred to the material discharge box, and when the material discharge box is full, it can be driven to the subsequent processing station. It should be understood that a corresponding positioning structure can be set in the material discharge box to facilitate the packaging of multiple materials.

[0098] by Figure 1 The structural arrangement and operating principle are explained by taking the embodiment of the present invention as an example.

[0099] The first panel separation device 1 and the second panel separation device 4 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction and staggered in the second horizontal direction. Both are placed on the machine platform. The loading platform 71 is arranged in an L shape. At least part of the loading platform 71 corresponds to the discharge side of the second panel separation device 4. The first conveying assembly 31 passes through the first panel separation device 1 along the first horizontal direction, and the second conveying assembly 32 passes through the second panel separation device 4 along the first horizontal direction. The transfer device is located at the discharge side of the first panel separation device 1 and is opposite to the feed side of the second panel separation device 4 in the second horizontal direction.

[0100] The entire material plate is conveyed by the first conveying assembly 31 until it abuts against the blocking member 21, and the first cutting knife 11 moves to cooperate with the second cutting knife 12 to cut out a material block. The position of the first cutting knife 11 after cutting remains unchanged, the blocking member 21 is lifted up, the material block continues to be conveyed, the blocking member 21 falls back, and the remaining material plate continues to be conveyed until it abuts against the blocking member 21 again. The first cutting knife 11 moves from the current position in the opposite direction of the previous cutting to complete the structure of the second material block, and the steps are repeated until the material plate is cut.

[0101] When each material block is conveyed to the transfer component 33, it is picked up by the transfer part and transferred to the carrier jig a on the second conveying component 32. The carrier jig a drives a material block to move linearly through the second panel separation device 4. After the panel separation is completed, the carrier jig a is located at the discharge side of the second panel separation device 4. After the unloading device 7 completes the removal of multiple panel units, the carrier jig a is reset and waits for the installation of the second material panel. The steps are repeated until all the material blocks are cut.

[0102] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
