[0002] The existing circuit board manufacturing method uses the copper surface of the circuit board as a reference to unify the depth of the drill when performing back drilling operations. It does not take into account the impact of the thickness difference between circuit boards or the poor thickness uniformity on the processing accuracy of the back drilling depth. Therefore, when the thickness difference between circuit boards is large or the thickness uniformity is poor, the processing accuracy of the back drilling depth will increase with the depth of the back drilling, and eccentricity and tilt may also occur.

[0003] The back drilling inspection method of the prior art is a destructive inspection method, which randomly samples and destroys the circuit board slices and then observes whether each back drilling hole meets the requirements. However, the destructive inspection is time-consuming and can only be observed from a specific angle, which is the biggest disadvantage of the prior art inspection method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] To facilitate the description of the content and effects of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which is a first embodiment of the present invention for improving the non-contact optical probe for measuring the depth of back-drilled hole profile, comprising: A fixing device 10 is connected to a first movable module 11, which includes a first power source 12. The fixing device 10 is provided with a reflection fixture 101, and the top surface of the reflection fixture 101 is provided with at least one plate A, which includes at least one first drill hole A1, wherein the plate has a predetermined thickness.

[0021] At least one optical probe body 20 is disposed above the fixing device 10 .

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A computer 30 is electrically connected to the optical probe body 20 and the first power source 12 of the first moving module 11. The computer 30 includes an output unit 31. The output unit 31 includes a display and a printer.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention is used in that the computer 30 activates the optical probe body 20 to emit a light beam 21, the diameter of the light beam 21 is smaller than the radius of the first bore hole A1 (but not limited thereto), the light beam 21 irradiates the plate body A, and at the same time the computer 30 controls the first power source 12 to drive the fixing device 10 to move, so that the first bore hole A1 passes under the optical probe body 20, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The first drilling hole A1 is continuously irradiated by the light beam 21, and the computer 30 records the light beam 21 entering and leaving the first drilling hole A1 and multiple first reflection points 211 of the reflection fixture 101, and generates a first drilling depth plane map 40 according to each first reflection point 211, and the first drilling depth plane map 40 is output by the output unit 31.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 The plate body A also has at least one second bore hole A2, and there is a predetermined distance between the second bore hole A2 and the first bore hole A1. When the first bore hole A1 passes under the optical probe body 20, the computer 30 controls the first power source 12 to drive the fixing device 10 to move, so that the second bore hole A2 passes under the optical probe body 20. The second bore hole A2 is continuously irradiated by the light beam 21. The computer 30 records multiple second reflection points 212 from the light beam 21 entering to leaving the second bore hole A2 and the reflection fixture 101, and generates a second bore hole depth plane map 50 according to each second reflection point 212, and the second bore hole depth plane map 50 is output by the output unit 31.

[0025] In short, the present invention can quickly detect multiple drill holes through the setting of the computer 30, and after the detection is completed, each plate body A is still in an intact state, which overcomes the disadvantage of the prior art that destructive detection is required.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 In detail, please refer to the plate body A including at least one first through hole B1 and at least one second through hole B2, the first drilled hole A1 and the second drilled hole A2 are respectively drilled in the first through hole B1 and the second through hole B2, so that the first drilled hole A1 and the second drilled hole A2 coincide with the first through hole B1 and the second through hole B2 respectively, and the diameters of the first drilled hole A1 and the second drilled hole A2 are respectively larger than the first through hole B1 and the second through hole B2.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 , each first reflection point 211 and each second reflection point 212 are positions where the light beam irradiates the surface of the plate A, is blocked inside the first borehole A1 and the second borehole A2, and reflects the light beam back to the optical probe body 20. The computer 30 records and calculates the position and distance of each first reflection point 211 and the position and distance of each second reflection point 212, and connects each first reflection point 211 and each second reflection point 212 to form the first borehole depth plane map 40 and each second borehole depth plane map 50.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The thickness of the plate A, the depth of the first borehole A1 and the second borehole A2, the eccentricity between the first borehole A1 and the first through hole B1, and the eccentricity between the second borehole A2 and the second through hole B2 are inspected by the first borehole depth plane diagram 40 and the second borehole depth plane diagram 50. The eccentricity is the distance between the center of the first through hole B1 and the center of the first borehole A1, and the distance between the center of the second through hole B2 and the center of the second borehole A2.

[0029] The cause of eccentricity is that the drill bit does not correspond to the center of the through hole during drilling, or the drill bit swings during drilling. In practice, the eccentricity is almost impossible to identify with the naked eye. Therefore, the present invention can easily analyze the first drill hole A1 and the second drill hole A2 through the first drill hole depth plane diagram 40 and the second drill hole depth plane diagram 50.

[0030] Therefore, in the present invention Figure 1 and Fig. 9 In the figure, the second drill hole A2 and the second through hole B2 are intentionally drawn into an eccentric shape, thereby demonstrating the function of the present invention in detecting eccentricity.

[0031] Please refer to Fig.10 Since the plate A has the predetermined thickness, if the reflection fixture 101 is not used, the light beam 21 cannot be detected, resulting in the first drilling depth plane map 40 and the second drilling depth plane map 50 output by the computer 30 being unable to fully present the graphics of the first through hole B1 and the second through hole B2. Therefore, it is necessary to use the reflection fixture 101 to reflect the light beam 21.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 and Fig.11 The computer 30 further includes an input unit 32 , through which the coordinates of the first borehole A1 and the second borehole A2 and the moving route of the first moving module 11 are input.

[0033] The coordinates are the center of the first bore hole A1 and the center of the second bore hole A2. When the first moving module 11 moves the plate A, the moving route is the diameter of the first bore hole A1 and the second bore hole A2, so that the first bore hole A1 and the second bore hole A2 pass under the optical probe body 20.

[0034] Please refer to Fig.12 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Since the main structure of this embodiment is the same as the previous embodiment, the similarities will not be repeated and will be described first.

[0035] In this embodiment, the optical probe body 20 is detachably mounted on a second movable module 22, which is electrically connected to the computer 30 and includes a second power source 221. The second movable module 22 is located above the fixing device 10. Therefore, when the computer 30 inputs the coordinates and movement routes of the first borehole A1 and the second borehole A2, the optical probe body 20 is driven by the second power source 221 to move, while the fixing device 10 remains stationary, thereby enabling the light beam 21 to pass through the first borehole A1 and the second borehole A2, and the computer 30 outputs the first borehole depth plan view 40 and each second borehole depth plan view 50.

[0036] However, what is described above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications that can be obviously made by those skilled in the art should be regarded as not departing from the essential content of the present invention.
