Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit board etching, and in particular to a circuit board etching device and an etching method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Circuit board etching is an important processing technology for manufacturing printed circuit boards (PCBs). The principle is to cover the copper layer on the substrate, and then make an etching pattern through the etching process, leaving only the circuit path that needs to be connected, while the rest is etched away. This process mainly uses chemical liquid to corrode the surface of the copper plate to achieve a clear etching effect. When etching the circuit board, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the circuit board is clean and tidy, mainly because any dirt, dust or residue may affect the chemical balance of the etching solution, resulting in poor etching effect. These contaminants may act as insulators, hindering the full contact between the etching solution and the copper foil, thereby affecting the uniformity and accuracy of the etching. In addition, contaminants may also trigger chemical reactions and produce slag, further affecting the etching quality and the performance of the circuit board. Therefore, before etching, the surface of the circuit board must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure the smooth progress of the etching process and the reliability of the final product. In the traditional circuit board etching process, cleaning and etching are usually carried out separately. Before etching, there is a special cleaning step to remove impurities, oxide layers and possible dirt on the surface of the circuit board. After the circuit board is cleaned, it is transferred to the etching equipment for etching. During this process, dust and debris are easily attached to the circuit board again, which can easily affect the normal etching of the circuit board, thereby reducing the performance of the circuit board, and further resulting in a low yield rate of the produced circuit boards, which will ultimately increase production costs. Therefore, a circuit board etching device is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

An etching method for a circuit board etching device, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: First, the motor in the bottom base (1) is started, thereby driving the chain conveying structure (3) to rotate in the bottom base (1), and then the circuit board to be etched can be fixed between two symmetrically arranged clamping and fixing components (12) on the chain conveying structure (3), and at the same time, the circuit board must be located in front of the pre-cleaning component (5); S2: The rotating chain conveying structure (3) then moves the circuit board toward the pre-cleaning assembly (5). When the circuit board passes through the pre-cleaning assembly (5), the cleaning bristles (21) contact and rub against the circuit board under the elastic force of the push spring (19), so that the cleaning bristles (21) remove the debris on the circuit board; S3: Then, the circuit board cleaned by the pre-cleaning component (5) will enter the top shell (2), and the water supply device connected to the spray cleaning nozzle (6) can be started. At this time, the water supply device will transport the cleaning water to the spray cleaning nozzle (6), and then the spray cleaning nozzle (6) will spray water onto the circuit board, thereby further cleaning the circuit board, and the water that has cleaned the circuit board will fall into the liquid collection tank (8); S4: The cleaned circuit board is then moved between the plurality of blowing ducts (26). At this time, the fan (22) and the air heating assembly (24) on the hot air drying assembly (7) are started, so that the fan (22) sends air into the air heating assembly (24) through the first connecting duct (23), and the air heated by the air heating assembly (24) enters the blowing duct (26) through the second connecting duct (25). Finally, the hot air is blown out through the hot air outlet (27) and blown onto the circuit board, thereby drying the circuit board. S5: As the chain conveying structure (3) works, the dried circuit board moves between the plurality of etching liquid spraying assemblies (4), and the etching liquid spraying assemblies (4) spray the etching liquid onto the circuit board, thereby etching the circuit board, and the excess etching liquid falls into the liquid collecting tank (8); S6: The etched circuit board will eventually pass through a plurality of blowing ducts (26), so that the hot air blown out of the blowing ducts (26) will dry the etched circuit board, and then the chain conveying structure (3) will deliver the circuit board out of the top shell (2), and then the circuit board can be removed from the clamping and fixing assembly (12) on the chain conveying structure (3).
