Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible circuit boards, and in particular to an efficient bending method applied to flexible circuit boards. Background Art

[0002] Flexible circuit boards, also known as "soft boards", are printed circuits made of flexible insulating substrates. Flexible circuits provide excellent electrical properties, can meet the design needs of smaller and higher density installations, and also help reduce assembly processes and enhance reliability. They can be bent, wound, and folded freely, can withstand millions of dynamic bends without damaging the wires, can be arranged arbitrarily according to spatial layout requirements, and can be moved and stretched arbitrarily in three-dimensional space, thereby achieving the integration of component assembly and wire connection; flexible circuit boards can greatly reduce the size and weight of electronic products, and are suitable for the development of electronic products towards high density, miniaturization, and high reliability.

[0003] The assembly process of the electric steering control unit of an automobile involves the assembly of a double-layer flexible circuit board. After the first layer of the circuit board is installed on the motor, the second layer of the circuit board needs to be assembled to the appropriate position by bending the flexible board and then fastened with bolts.

[0004] The existing assembly lines use manual bending of flexible circuit boards. The assembly process cannot avoid the flexible circuit boards being subjected to tensile stress and compressive stress, and the low manual efficiency cannot meet the assembly line rhythm requirements, so automatic bending devices came into being, such as Chinese patent application No. 202410580050.5, with an announcement date of 2024.07.16, which discloses a new energy vehicle flexible FPC bidirectional bending device and its bending machine, including a UVW platform, a support box, a linear module, a lifting frame, a first bending component, a second bending component, a bending head and a load-bearing film tearing assembly, wherein the UVW platform is horizontally arranged on the machine platform; the support box is vertically arranged on the UVW platform; the linear module is vertically arranged on the side wall of the support box; the lifting frame is connected to the output end of the linear module; the first bending component includes two groups, and the two groups of first bending components are respectively arranged on the inner side walls of the two sides of the lifting frame; the second bending component is connected to the output end of the first bending component; the bending head is connected to the output end of the second bending component; and the load-bearing film tearing assembly is arranged below the bending head. The above documents realize precise positioning of the flexible FPC bending line, automatic bending, adsorption and clamping during bending, ensure bending accuracy, have load-bearing lifting and automatic film tearing functions, realize bidirectional multiple bending, and effectively improve bending efficiency.

[0005] However, the above documents load materials by adsorption, so that each time a flexible circuit board is bent, the bending is always performed in a horizontal position, which results in low bending efficiency. For application scenarios requiring a double-layer flexible circuit board, bending is performed twice, and the consistency of the bending position and bending accuracy cannot be ensured. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a high-efficiency bending method applied to a flexible circuit board, which realizes high-efficiency bending, thereby improving efficiency and bending accuracy. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: an efficient bending method for a flexible circuit board, which is implemented by a bending device, wherein the bending device comprises a frame, a first workbench for placing a first circuit board is provided on the frame, a flipping device is provided on the frame on one side of the first workbench, a second workbench for placing a second circuit board is provided on the flipping device, a placement table for placing the first circuit board is provided at the front end of the first workbench, the free end portion of the connecting terminal of the first circuit board extends out of the placement table, a bending interval is provided between the placement table and the first workbench, a bending device is provided below the bending interval, and the bending device passes through the bending interval to bend the first circuit board and the second circuit board on the first workbench; a fixing component is also provided on the frame at the front end of the placement table, and a bending limit device is provided above the first workbench; the specific steps include: (1) A first circuit board is placed on a first workbench, with the connection terminals of the first circuit board extending out of the placement table.

The circuit board and the second circuit board are bent to form a bending mark. During the bending process, since the front ends of the first circuit board and the second circuit board are fixed, while the bending device moves upward, the rear ends of the first circuit board and the second circuit board are driven forward by the bending device. The first circuit board and the second circuit board are limited by the bending limit device so that the rear ends of the first circuit board and the second circuit board will not be lifted up and affect the bending, thereby ensuring that the bending positions of the first circuit board and the second circuit board are consistent during bending, thereby facilitating the subsequent installation of the circuit boards. The flipping device can realize better overlapping of the double-layer flexible circuit boards, and can perform a one-time bending operation, thereby improving the bending efficiency, and ensuring the bending accuracy, so that the bending positions of the double-layer circuit boards are consistent.
