[0057] The rack 1 includes a panel 102 and a bracket 103, and the bracket 103 is arranged on the panel 102;

[0058] A loading platform 2, a first detection device 4 and a placement platform 14 are sequentially arranged on the panel 102 and along the first direction X;

[0059] The loading platform 2 is used to place the flexible circuit board 15;

[0060] The bracket 103 is disposed on one side of the loading platform 2 in the second direction Y, and the first moving device 3 is installed on the bracket 103.

[0061] The first visual inspection and marking device 11 is mounted on the bracket 103, and the first visual inspection and marking device 11 is used to inspect and mark defects on the flexible circuit board 15 on the first inspection device 4;

[0062] The placement table 14 is provided with a good product area 1401 and a defective product area 1402;

[0063] The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0064] It should be noted that the flexible circuit board 15 is placed on the loading table 2, the first moving device 3 moves the flexible circuit board 15 to the first detection device 4, the first visual detection and marking device 11 detects and marks defects on the flexible circuit board 15 on the first detection device 4, and the first moving device 3 then moves the flexible circuit board 15 from the first detection device 4 to the placement table 14, and good products are placed in the good product area 1401, and defective products are placed in the defective product area 1402. Therefore, when the staff re-inspects the flexible circuit board, they only need to check the marking position of the flexible circuit board 15 in the defective product area 1402, and there is no need to inspect the flexible circuit board 15 as a whole to determine whether the flexible circuit board 15 meets the good product standard, which improves the efficiency of manual re-inspection of the flexible circuit board 15 and can improve the production efficiency of the flexible circuit board 15.

[0065] See also Figure 1 In a more specific embodiment, the rack 1 further includes a base 101 , and the panel 102 is mounted on the base 101 .

[0066] It should be noted that the base 101 supports the panel 102 , and the height of the panel 102 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the base 101 .

[0067] See also Figure 1-3 , in a more specific embodiment, the loading platform 2 includes a loading platform 201 and a loading lifting mechanism 202;

[0068] The loading platform 201 is used to place the flexible circuit board 15;

[0069] The material loading lifting mechanism 202 is installed on the panel 102, and the material loading platform 201 is installed on the material loading lifting mechanism 202;

[0070] The first moving device 3 includes a first horizontal moving rail 301 and an adsorption device 302. The first horizontal moving rail 301 is installed on the bracket 103 and extends along the first direction X;

[0071] The adsorption device 302 includes a movable mounting plate 3021 and an adsorption lifting mechanism 3022. The movable mounting plate 3021 is mounted on the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 and moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301. The movable mounting plate 3021 is connected to the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022. The adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is connected to a suction cup.

[0072] The first detection device 4 is provided with a suction cup.

[0073] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the loading lifting mechanism 202 is raised, and the loading platen 201 is lifted to the highest point, and the flexible circuit board 15 is placed on the loading platen 201. The movable mounting plate 3021 of the adsorption device 302 moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 to the top of the loading platen 201, and the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is driven to drive the connected suction cup to descend, until the suction cup sucks the flexible circuit board 15 on the loading platen 201 and then drives the suction cup to rise. While the suction cup sucks the flexible circuit board 15, the loading lifting mechanism 202 drives the connected loading platen 201 to descend, ensuring that the flexible circuit board 15 is separated from the loading platen 201;

[0074] The adsorption device 302 adsorbs the flexible circuit board 15, and after the mobile mounting plate 3021 moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 to the top of the first detection device 4, the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is driven to drive the connected suction cup and the flexible circuit board 15 adsorbed by the suction cup to descend. After the flexible circuit board 15 contacts the suction cup on the first detection device 4 and is adsorbed, the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is driven to drive the suction cup connected to the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 to rise and detach from the flexible circuit board 15. The flexible circuit board 15 remains in the first detection device 4 and waits for the first visual detection and marking device 11 to detect and mark defects.

[0075] After marking the flexible circuit board 15, the movable mounting plate 3021 of the adsorption device 302 moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 to the top of the first detection device 4, and the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is driven to drive the connected suction cup to descend and adsorb the flexible circuit board 15 and then rise up. The movable mounting plate 3021 moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 to the top of the placement table 14, and the adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is driven to drive the connected suction cup and the flexible circuit board 15 adsorbed by the suction cup to descend, and the flexible circuit board 15 is placed on the corresponding area of ​​the placement table 14.

[0076] In a more specific embodiment, the suction cup is a vacuum sponge suction cup, which is more gentle in adsorbing the flexible circuit board 15, effectively avoiding damage to the flexible circuit board 15;

[0077] The adsorption lifting mechanism 3022 is a cylinder drive mechanism, and can also be other existing lifting structures; the feeding lifting mechanism 202 is driven by a servo motor, and can also be other existing lifting structures; the movable mounting plate 3021 moves along the first horizontal movable slide rail 301 driven by a servo motor, and can also be other existing drive structures.

[0078] See also Figure 1-3 In a more specific embodiment, a groove 104 is formed on the panel 102, and the loading platform 2 further includes a loading bottom plate 203, and the loading bottom plate 203 is installed in the groove 104;

[0079] The loading lifting mechanism 202 is installed on the loading bottom plate 203 , and a telescopic rod 204 is connected between the loading bottom plate 203 and the loading platform 201 .

[0080] It should be noted that a groove 104 is provided on the panel 102 to install the loading base plate 203, so that the loading platform 2 and the panel 102 are detachable, and the loading platform 2 can be replaced when a failure occurs;

[0081] A telescopic rod 204 is connected between the loading base plate 203 and the loading platform 201, so that when the loading lifting mechanism 202 lifts the loading platform 201, the telescopic rod 204 is extended; when the loading lifting mechanism 202 drives the loading platform 201 to descend, the telescopic rod 204 is shortened, and the telescopic rod 204 ensures the stability of the position between the loading platform 201 and the loading base plate 203;

[0082] In a more specific embodiment, the loading platform 201 is a polygon, the number of telescopic rods 204 is the same as the number of sides of the loading platform 201, and each telescopic rod 204 is connected to each corner of the loading platform 201 to ensure the stability of the loading platform 201 when rising or falling.

[0087] The first moving device 3 moves the flexible circuit board 15 along the first direction X from the loading table 2 to the first fixed table 401 on the first detection device 4. The initial position of the first fixed table 401 is on the same straight line as the loading table 2. The first fixed table 401 moves from the initial position along the first vertical moving rail 402 to the side of the bracket 103 away from the loading table 2. The first visual detection and marking device 11 installed on the side of the bracket 103 away from the loading table 2 detects and marks defects on the flexible circuit board 15 on the first fixed table 401, which can avoid interference of the operation on one side of the loading table 2 with the detection and marking.

[0088] If the first visual inspection and marking device 11 determines that the flexible circuit board 15 is a good product, the first fixed platform 401 directly moves back to the initial position. If the first visual inspection and marking device 11 determines that the flexible circuit board 15 is a defective product, the defective position is marked. After marking, the first fixed platform 401 moves back to the initial position.
