A drilling device and a drilling method

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit board processing, and particularly to a drilling device and a drilling method. The drilling device and the drilling method of the present invention enable each backing plate to move along the first direction or the second direction with a predetermined position corresponding to the hole position to be drilled on the processed board as a reference in the third direction, so that the drilled hole positions on the backing plate avoid the predetermined position. In this way, each position on the backing plate that can be used for drilling holes can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the drilling process. In this way, it solves the technical problem in the prior art that in a rotating manner, the backing plate can only provide multiple drilling positions on a circular trajectory, while there are still available drilling positions on the part of the backing plate outside the circular trajectory that cannot be used, which results in the underutilization of the backing plate and further increases the manufacturing cost of the circuit board process.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] After the process of pressing copper foils on both sides of an insulating substrate in the manufacturing process of a circuit board, processes such as exposure, development, and etching are carried out, and then a target pattern for drilling is formed on the circuit board. The drilling device performs a drilling process on the position where the target pattern is located through technologies such as image recognition. During the process of the drill bit gradually removing materials on the circuit board to form a drill hole, when the drill bit is about to penetrate the circuit board, since the thickness of the remaining board material where the drill hole has not yet been formed is quite small, the pressure of the drill bit on the remaining board material will cause direct peeling, resulting in the peeling of the board material in the non-drilling area adjacent to the drill hole as well. Thus, the surface of the circuit board adjacent to the hole is damaged and becomes a defective product;

[0003] To address the above problem, a backing plate is provided below the circuit board to provide support for the remaining board material where the drill hole has not yet been formed, thereby avoiding the problem of damage to the circuit lines on the surface of the circuit board caused by direct peeling of the board material. And a backing plate can be used multiple times. The existing method is to rotate the backing plate so that the drill holes already formed on the backing plate avoid the positions where drilling is currently desired to achieve multiple uses.

[0004] However, in the above method, rotating the backing plate can only provide multiple drilling positions on a circular track, and there are still available drilling positions in the part of the backing plate outside the circular track that cannot be used. This results in the underutilization of the backing plate, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost of the circuit board manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a drilling device and a drilling method, aiming to solve the technical problem in the prior art that rotating the backing plate can only provide multiple drilling positions on a circular track, and there are still available drilling positions in the part of the backing plate outside the circular track that cannot be used. This results in the underutilization of the backing plate, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost of the circuit board manufacturing process.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, a drilling device adopted by the present invention includes a machine platform and a plurality of drilling units. The plurality of drilling units are evenly distributed on the machine platform, and the machine platform has a feeding end and a discharging end;

[0007] Each of the said drilling units includes a base, a drilling tool module and a clamping member. The base includes a base body, a moving module, a positioning module, a drilling processing area and a backing plate placement area. The base body is disposed between the feeding end and the discharging end. The moving module is placed on the base body. The drilling processing area is arranged on one side of the moving module. The positioning module is also arranged on the base body and is correspondingly arranged with the drilling processing area. The moving module is used to drive the processing plate to move in a first direction. The positioning module is used to move the processing plate from the moving module to the drilling processing area in a second direction.

[0008] The drilling tool module is correspondingly arranged with the drilling processing area and approaches or moves away from the drilling processing area in the second direction and the third direction respectively, and is used for drilling the predetermined position of the processing plate and the backing plate. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are orthogonal to each other.

[0009] The clamping member is correspondingly arranged with the drilling processing area and the backing plate placement area, and is used to clamp the backing plate from the backing plate placement area to the drilling processing area in the second direction and the third direction and is located on the side of the processing plate away from the drilling tool module.

[0010] The clamping member moves the backing plate in the first direction or the second direction in the third direction with the predetermined position of the processing plate as a reference so that the drilled hole positions on the backing plate avoid the predetermined position.

[0011] The backing plate is located between the processing plate and the drilling processing area.

[0012] Wherein, the moving module includes a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers are arranged in at least one row along the first direction from the feeding end to the discharging end. The processing plate is conveyed by the rollers.

[0013] Wherein, the drilling processing area includes a plurality of die holes arranged in several groups, and the predetermined position is aligned with one of the die holes.

[0014] Wherein, the distance between the position where the roller contacts the processing plate and the drilling processing area is greater than or equal to the thickness of the backing plate.

[0015] Wherein, the positioning module includes at least one first driving member, at least one second driving member, at least one pushing member and at least one positioning member. The first driving member drives the pushing member to move in the third direction and protrude from the moving module. The second driving member drives the first driving member to move in the second direction. The positioning member is arranged on the side of the drilling processing area away from the moving module. The pushing member pushes the processing plate to the positioning member.

[0016] Among them, the pushing member includes a clamping recess, and the processed sheet is clamped in the clamping recess. The positioning member includes a stop surface, and the processed sheet abuts against the stop surface.

[0017] The pushing member is located between two adjacent rollers.

[0018] Among them, the backing plate placement area is arranged on the base body and close to the discharge end. The backing plate placement area includes a stock area, a material use area, and a waste area. The stock area is used to place a plurality of unused backing plates, the material use area is used to place the backing plates in use, and the waste area is used to place the backing plates that have become waste.

[0019] Among them, the positioning module further includes a third driving member, an ejecting member, and a fourth driving member. The third driving member drives the positioning member to move parallel to the third direction. The positioning member has a radial flange, and the radial flange abuts against the processed sheet.

[0020] The ejecting member is arranged on the drilling processing area, and the fourth driving member drives the ejecting member to move parallel to the third direction to protrude from the drilling processing area.

[0021] The present invention also provides a drilling method, which is applied to the drilling equipment as described above, and includes the following steps:

[0022] First, place the backing plate on the drilling processing area;

[0023] Convey the processed sheet along the first direction, so that the processed sheet conveyed along the first direction moves along the second direction to the drilling processing area and is located above the backing plate;

[0024] Move the drilling tool module along the third direction to drill holes in the processed sheet and the backing plate;

[0025] Make the processed sheet with drilled holes continue to move along the first direction to discharge.

[0026] Among them, after drilling a hole, the clamping member makes each backing plate move along the first direction or the second direction with the predetermined position corresponding to the processed sheet as a reference in the third direction, so that the drilled holes on the backing plate avoid the predetermined position;

[0027] After drilling a plurality of holes, move the backing plate that cannot avoid the predetermined position even if it moves along the first direction or the second direction to the waste area; and move the backing plate without drilled holes in the stock area to the material use area.

[0028] A drilling device and a drilling method of the present invention, when in specific use, first place a backing plate in the drilling processing area; convey the processing plate along a first direction, so that the processing plate conveyed along the first direction moves along a second direction to the drilling processing area and is located above the backing plate; move the drilling tool module along a third direction to drill holes in the processing plate and the backing plate; make the processed plate with drilled holes continue to move along the first direction for discharging. After drilling a hole, the clamping member makes each backing plate move along the first direction or the second direction with a predetermined position corresponding to the processing plate as a reference in the third direction, so that the drilled holes on the backing plate avoid the predetermined position; after drilling multiple holes, move the backing plate that cannot avoid the drilled holes even by moving along the first direction or the second direction to the waste area; and move the backing plate without drilled holes in the stock area to the material area.

[0029] The drilling device and the drilling method of the present invention make each backing plate move along the first direction or the second direction with a predetermined position corresponding to the hole to be drilled on the processing plate as a reference in the third direction, so that the drilled holes on the backing plate avoid the predetermined position. In this way, each available position for drilling holes on the backing plate can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the drilling process. In this way, it solves the technical problem in the prior art that in a rotating manner, the backing plate can only provide multiple drilling positions on a circular trajectory, while there are still available drilling positions outside the circular trajectory of the backing plate that cannot be used, which results in the underutilization of the backing plate and further increases the manufacturing cost of the circuit board process.

[0056] The present invention provides a drilling device, including a machine table 6 and a plurality of drilling units 5. The plurality of drilling units 5 are evenly distributed on the machine table 6. The machine table 6 has a feeding end 61 and a discharging end 62;

[0057] Each drilling unit 5 includes a base 10, a drilling tool module 20, and a clamping member 30. The base 10 includes a base body 11, a moving module 12, a positioning module 13, a drilling area 14, and a backing plate placement area 15. The base body 11 is disposed between the feeding end 61 and the discharging end 62. The moving module 12 is placed on the base body 11. The drilling area 14 is disposed on one side of the moving module 12. The positioning module 13 is also disposed on the base body 11 and is correspondingly arranged with the drilling area 14. The moving module 12 is used to drive the processed sheet material P to move along the first direction L1, and the positioning module 13 is used to move the processed sheet material P along the second direction L2 from the moving module 12 to the drilling area 14;

[0058] The drill module 20 is disposed corresponding to the drilling area 14, and is close to or away from the drilling area 14 along the second direction L2 and the third direction L3 respectively, and is used for drilling a predetermined position of the processed plate P and the backing plate L. The first direction L1, the second direction L2 and the third direction L3 are orthogonal to each other;

[0059] The clamping member 30 is disposed corresponding to the drilling area 14 and the backing plate placement area 15, and is used for clamping the backing plate L from the backing plate placement area 15 to the drilling area 14 along the second direction L2 and the third direction L3 and located on the side of the processed plate P away from the drill module 20;

[0060] The clamping member 30 moves the backing plate L in the third direction L3 along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 with the predetermined position of the processed plate P as a reference so that the drilled hole positions on the backing plate L avoid the predetermined position;

[0061] The backing plate L is located between the processed plate P and the drilling area 14.

[0062] For this specific embodiment, the drill module 20 and the clamping member 30 are disposed above the machine table 6 and can move along the second direction L2 and the third direction L3 respectively through the first slide rail R1 extending along the second direction L2, the first bracket B1, the second slide rail R2 extending along the third direction L3 and the second bracket B2;

[0063] The drill module 20 and the clamping member 30 are disposed on the second bracket B2. Two parallel second slide rails R2 are disposed on the second bracket B2. The drill module 20 and the clamping member 30 move along the third direction L3 through the two second slide rails R2 respectively, and the second bracket B2 moves along the second direction L2 on the first bracket B1 through the first slide rail R1.

[0064] The clamping member 30 is closer to the drilling area 14 than the drill module 20.

[0065] In specific use, first place the backing plate L in the drilling processing area 14; convey the processing plate P along the first direction L1, so that the processing plate P conveyed along the first direction L1 moves along the second direction L2 to the drilling processing area 14 and is located above the backing plate L; move the drilling tool module 20 along the third direction L3 to drill holes in the processing plate P and the backing plate L; make the processed plate P with drilled holes continue to move along the first direction L1 for discharging. After drilling one hole, the clamping member 30 makes each backing plate L move along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 with the predetermined position corresponding to the processing plate P as a reference in the third direction L3, so that the drilled holes on the backing plate L avoid this predetermined position; after drilling multiple holes, move the backing plate L that cannot avoid the drilled holes even by moving along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 to the waste area 153; and move the backing plate L without drilled holes in the stock area 151 to the material using area 152.

[0066] The drilling device and the drilling method of the present invention make each backing plate L move along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 with the predetermined position corresponding to the hole positions to be drilled on the processing plate P as a reference in the third direction L3, so that the drilled holes on the backing plate L avoid the predetermined position. In this way, each position of the backing plate L available for drilling holes can be fully utilized, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the drilling process. In this way, it solves the technical problem in the prior art that in a rotating manner, the backing plate L can only provide multiple drilling positions on a circular trajectory, while there are still available drilling positions outside the circular trajectory of the backing plate L that cannot be used, which results in the backing plate L not being fully utilized, and further increases the manufacturing cost of the circuit board process.

[0067] Among them, the moving module 12 includes a plurality of rollers 121. The plurality of rollers 121 are arranged in at least one row along the first direction L1 from the feeding end 61 to the discharging end 62, and the processing plate P is conveyed by the rollers 121.

[0068] The distance between the position where the roller 121 contacts the processing plate P and the drilling processing area 14 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the backing plate L.

[0069] For this specific embodiment, the roller 121 is driven by a motor to rotate. The processing plate P is placed on the roller 121 and conveyed by the roller 121 to move in the first direction L1, so that the part of the processing plate P to be drilled is moved to the corresponding position of the drilling processing area 14.

[0070] Secondly, the drilling processing area 14 includes a plurality of die holes 141 arranged in an array, and the predetermined position is aligned with one of the die holes 141.

[0071] For this specific embodiment, the drilling processing area 14 is provided on one side of the axial direction of the roller 121, and the drilling processing area 14 includes a plurality of die holes 141 arranged in an array. When the processing plate P moves to the drilling processing area 14, a predetermined position on the processing plate P where a hole is desired to be drilled is aligned with one of the die holes 141.

[0072] Moreover, the backing plate placement area 15 is provided on one side of the base body 11 close to the discharge end 62. The backing plate placement area 15 includes a stock area 151, a used area 152, and a waste area 153. A plurality of unused backing plates L are placed in the stock area 151, the backing plates L in use are placed in the used area 152, and the backing plates L that have become waste are placed in the waste area 153.

[0073] Meanwhile, the positioning module 13 includes at least one first driving member 131, at least one second driving member 132, at least one pushing member 133, and at least one positioning member 134. The first driving member 131 drives the pushing member 133 to move along the third direction L3 and protrude from the moving module 12. The second driving member 132 drives the first driving member 131 to move along the second direction L2. The positioning member 134 is provided on the side of the drilling processing area 14 away from the moving module 12. The pushing member 133 pushes the processing plate P to the positioning member 134;

[0074] The pushing member 133 includes a engaging recess 1331, and the processing plate P is engaged with the engaging recess 1331. The positioning member 134 includes a stop surface 1341, and the processing plate P abuts against the stop surface 1341;

[0075] The pushing member 133 is located between two adjacent rollers 121.

[0076] With respect to this specific implementation, in this embodiment, the positioning module 13 includes two first driving members 131, two second driving members 132, two push members 133 and two positioning members 134. Each of the first driving members 131 drives one of the push members 133 to move along the third direction L3 and protrude from the moving module 12 or reset to the moving module 12, the second driving member 132 drives the first driving member 131 and the push member 133 to move along the second direction L2, and the positioning member 134 is disposed on the side of the drilling processing area 14 away from the moving module 12. The push member 133 is disposed between two adjacent rollers 121. When the processing plate P is moved from the moving module 12 to a predetermined position, the first driving member 131 drives the push member 133 to move along the third direction L3 and protrude from the moving module 12, the push member 133 abuts against the processing plate P and pushes the processing plate P along the second direction L2 until it abuts against the positioning member 134. The push member 133 includes a locking recess 1331 , and the processed plate P is locked in the locking recess 1331 . The positioning member 134 includes a stop surface 1341 , and the processed plate P abuts against the stop surface 1341 .

[0077] When the drilling unit 5 of this embodiment is used to drill a hole in a predetermined position of a processing plate P, the clamping member 30 clamps the backing plate L from the material area 152 of the backing plate placement area 15 to the drilling processing area 14, and then the processing plate P is placed on the base 10 from the feed end 61 of the machine table 6, and the moving module 12 of the base 10 moves the processing plate P to a predetermined position along the first direction L1, and then the positioning module 13 pushes the processing plate P to move to the drilling processing area 14 along the second direction L2, and the backing plate L is located on the side of the processing plate P away from the drilling tool module 20. Finally, the drilling tool module 20 moves along the second direction L2 to the upper side of the predetermined position for drilling a hole, and then moves along the third direction L3 to drill a hole on the processing plate P, and at the same time forms a drilling mark T on the backing plate L. The processed plate P that has completed the drilling process is moved to the discharging end 62 of the machine table 6 through the base 10 for discharging.

[0078] Please refer to the figure. During each drilling process, the clamping member 30 enables the backing plate L to move along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 in the third direction L3 with the predetermined position corresponding to the hole to be drilled in the processing plate P as a reference so that the hole already drilled on the backing plate L avoids the predetermined position. In this way, when drilling holes at the predetermined positions of the processing plate P, the same backing plate L can still be used.

[0079] After the liner plate L is used, it is clamped and moved by the clamping member 30 to return to the material use area 152 .

[0080] After the lining plate L has been used at every available position in the first direction L1 and the second direction L2, the lining plate L achieves the purpose of being fully utilized. The fully utilized lining plate L becomes waste material and is clamped and moved by the clamping member 30 to the waste area 153 of the lining plate placement area 15.

[0081] The second embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0082] Please refer to Figures 15 to 20 , Figure 15 which is Figure 4 a perspective view of the positioning module of the present invention. Figure 16 which is Figure 15 a partial structural schematic diagram of the positioning module of the present invention.

Figure 19 which is Figure 17 a side view of the present invention. Figure 20 which is Figure 18 a side view of the present invention.

[0083] The present invention provides a drilling device. In this embodiment, different from the first embodiment 1: the positioning module 13 includes a first driving member 131, a second driving member 132, a pushing member 133, a positioning member 134, an ejecting member 135, a third driving member 136 and a fourth driving member 137. The structures of the first driving member 131, the second driving member 132 and the pushing member 133 are the same as those in the first embodiment, so their descriptions are omitted.

[0084] The positioning member 134 of this embodiment is connected to the third driving member 136, and the ejecting member 135 of this embodiment is connected to the fourth driving member 137. The third driving member 136 drives the positioning member 134 to move up and down parallel to the third direction L3. The fourth driving member 137 drives the ejecting member 135 to move up and down parallel to the third direction L3. The positioning member 134 has a radial flange 134a at the top. The third driving member 136 and the fourth driving member 137 of this embodiment are both cylinders.

[0085] When the processed plate P is moved by the pusher 133 along the second direction L2 to the drilling area 14, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to rise parallel to the third direction L3, and the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to rise parallel to the third direction L3. At this time, the ejector 135 supports the processed plate P to prevent the processed plate P from tilting. The edge of the processed plate P abuts against the positioning member 134. Then, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to descend along the third direction L3, and at the same time, the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to descend along the third direction L3, so that the radial flange 134a of the positioning member 134 abuts against the surface of the processed plate P, thereby clamping the processed plate P, such that when the drilling module 20 performs a drilling process on the processed plate P, the processed plate P can be stably positioned in the drilling area 14.

[0086] When the processed plate P finishes the drilling process, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to rise, releasing the processed plate P. At the same time, the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to rise, causing the processed plate P to be lifted to facilitate the conveying of the processed plate P by the rollers 121 of the moving module 12 along the first direction L1.

[0087] When using a drilling device according to this embodiment, during specific use, when the processed plate P is moved by the pusher 133 along the second direction L2 to the drilling area 14, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to rise parallel to the third direction L3, and the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to rise parallel to the third direction L3. At this time, the ejector 135 supports the processed plate P to prevent the processed plate P from tilting. The edge of the processed plate P abuts against the positioning member 134. Then, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to descend along the third direction L3, and at the same time, the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to descend along the third direction L3, so that the radial flange 134a of the positioning member 134 abuts against the surface of the processed plate P, thereby clamping the processed plate P, such that when the drilling module 20 performs a drilling process on the processed plate P, the processed plate P can be stably positioned in the drilling area 14.

[0088] When the processed plate P finishes the drilling process, the third driver 136 drives the positioning member 134 to rise, releasing the processed plate P. At the same time, the fourth driver 137 drives the ejector 135 to rise, causing the processed plate P to be lifted to facilitate the conveying of the processed plate P by the rollers 121 of the moving module 12 along the first direction L1.

[0093] S4. Move the processing plate P conveyed along the first direction L1 along a second direction L2 to the drilling processing area 14 and above the backing plate L, and then proceed to step S5.

[0094] S5. Move the drill module 20 along the third direction L3 to drill holes in the processing plate P and the backing plate L, and then proceed to step S6.

[0095] S6. Move the processed plate P with drilled holes along the first direction L1 to discharge materials, and then proceed to step S7.

[0096] S7. Check whether there is still an available position on the backing plate L. If there is an available position, proceed to step S8; if there is no available position, proceed to step S9.

[0097] S8. The clamping member 30 moves each backing plate L along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2 in the third direction L3 with the predetermined position corresponding to the hole positions to be drilled on the processing plate P as a reference, so that the drilled hole positions on the backing plate L avoid the predetermined positions of the processing plate P, and then proceed to step S3.

[0098] S9. Move the backing plate L, which cannot avoid the drilled hole positions from the predetermined positions even by moving along the first direction L1 or the second direction L2, to the waste area 153, and then proceed to step S10.

[0099] S10. Move the backing plate L without drilled holes in the stock area 151 to the used material area 152, and then proceed to step S2.
