[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for automatically designing auxiliary files of a rigid-flexible board includes: S1. Distinguish the soft board area and the hard board area, distinguish the soft board area and the hard board area according to the rigid-flexible board shape file to be processed, and mark them as the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer; distinguish the soft board area and the hard board area into different layers, and mark them as the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer; the soft board area and the hard board area may be regular graphics or irregular drawings; like Figure 2 As shown, S2, converting the shape file into copper skin, converting the shape files of the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer into the first copper skin, and reducing the first copper skin by a preset ratio and locating it in the center area of ​​the shape lines of the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer, and marking them as the second soft board layer and the second hard board layer; S21, converting the shape files of the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer into first copper sheets respectively; S22, filling the areas enclosed by the outlines of the first soft board layer and the first hard board layer with the first copper sheet respectively; S23, the first copper sheet of the first soft board layer is reduced by a preset ratio and located in the center area of ​​the outline of the first soft board layer, so as to form a second soft board layer; reducing the first copper sheet by a preset ratio means reducing the outline of the first copper sheet by a preset ratio, the outline of the first copper sheet is a closed area formed by splicing a plurality of line segments, reducing the outline by a preset ratio usually means shortening the outline segment, for example, the length of the outline segment is 0.6mm, then it becomes 0.3mm after being shortened by half, and after all the outline segments are reduced by half, the position of the reduced first copper sheet is the center area of ​​the outline of the first soft board layer; the first copper sheet of the first soft board layer is reduced by a preset ratio to form a second soft board layer; S24, the first copper sheet of the first hard board layer is reduced in a preset ratio and located in the center area of ​​the outline of the first hard board layer to form a second hard board layer; the first copper sheet of the first hard board layer is reduced in the same manner as the first soft board layer, so that the position of the reduced first copper sheet is the center area of ​​the outline of the first hard board layer; the first copper sheet of the first hard board layer is reduced in a preset ratio to form a second hard board layer; like Figure 3 As shown, S3, milling PP auxiliary file process parameter setting, the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer after shrinking is enlarged by a first preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, marked as the third soft board layer, and the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer after shrinking is reduced by a second preset size along the edge of the copper sheet to form a third hard board layer; the enlarged or reduced sizes of the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer and the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer are set according to specific requirements; S31, replicating the second soft board layer by one layer to form a replicated second soft board layer; S32, enlarging the first copper foil of the second soft board layer after the reduction along the edge of the copper foil by a first preset size to form a third soft board layer; for example, enlarging the first copper foil of the second soft board layer along the edge of the copper foil by 2 mm according to specific production requirements, S33, replicating the second hard board layer by one layer to form a replicated second hard board layer; S34, shrinking the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer along the edge of the copper sheet by a second preset size to form a third hard board layer; shrinking the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer by 0.5 mm along the edge of the copper sheet according to specific production requirements, like Figure 4 As shown, S4, milling PP auxiliary file production, the third hard board layer is superimposed with the third soft board layer with negative properties to form a milling PP auxiliary file layer; S41, superimposing the third hard board layer with the third soft board layer with negative properties; after superimposing the third hard board layer with the third soft board layer with negative properties, some small connection positions will be generated. For example, if the connection position is less than 1mm, then before removing the negative properties, the copper foil with a width of less than 1mm needs to be removed.

[0022] In circuit board design, negative properties are used to process the interface between the rigid and flexible boards of a circuit board. By superimposing the copper pattern of one area with negative properties (i.e. after flipping) on ​​the copper pattern of another area, the tiny connections created by the superposition of the rigid and flexible boards can be eliminated, ensuring that the rigid and flexible parts of the circuit board can be properly separated while maintaining connections where the rigid and flexible boards of the circuit board need to be connected.

[0023] S42, remove the negative attributes; S43, converting the first copper sheet into a shape linear attribute file; S44, forming a milling PP auxiliary file layer; like Figure 5 As shown, S5, the process parameter setting of the milling cover film auxiliary file is to increase the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer after the reduction by a third preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, mark it as the fourth soft board layer, and increase the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer after the reduction by a fourth preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, to form a fourth hard board layer; S51, replicating the second soft board layer by one layer to form a replicated second soft board layer; S52, enlarging the first copper foil of the second soft board layer after the reduction along the edge of the copper foil by a third preset size to form a fourth soft board layer; in this embodiment, the soft board needs to be pressed by 1mm, so the first copper foil of the second soft board layer is enlarged by 1mm along the edge of the copper foil; S53, replicating the second hard board layer by one layer to form a replicated second hard board layer; S54, enlarging the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer after the reduction along the edge of the copper sheet by a fourth preset size to form a fourth hard board layer; in this embodiment, the covering film of the hard board area needs to be milled by 2 mm, so the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer is enlarged by 2 mm along the edge of the copper sheet; S6, copper sheets are stacked, and the fourth soft board layer is stacked with the fourth hard board layer with negative properties to form a fifth hard board layer; copper sheets are stacked, and the fourth soft board layer is stacked with the fourth hard board layer with negative properties to form a fifth hard board layer, and the fourth soft board layer is covered into the fourth hard board layer to reach a sixth preset size, that is, the fourth soft board layer is covered into the fourth hard board layer by 1MM, ensuring that the covering film extends into the board; S7, drilling layer file preparation, the drilling layer file is uniformly enlarged by the fifth preset size on one side and copied to the fifth hard board layer to form the sixth hard board layer; because the metallized hole needs to be at least 0.5MM away from the soft board cover film area, so for the preparation of the drilling layer file, the drilling layer file is uniformly enlarged by at least 0.5mm on one side and copied to the fifth hard board layer to form the sixth hard board layer; S8, milling cover film auxiliary file production, the sixth hard board layer is unified into the second copper skin and the second copper skin is converted into an outline attribute file to form a milling cover film auxiliary file; S9.

When the PP milling slot needs to be enlarged by 1 mm-3 mm, the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer increases the first preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, that is, the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer increases by 1mm-3mm; When the junction between the second hard board layer and the second soft board layer needs to be enlarged by 0.3 mm-1.0 mm, the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer is reduced by a second preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, and the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer is reduced by 0.3 mm-1.0 mm; When the edge of the covering film soft board is pressed by 0.5 mm-1.5 mm, the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer after shrinking is enlarged by a third preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, and the first copper sheet of the second soft board layer is enlarged by 0.5 mm-1.5 mm; When the milling groove is enlarged by 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm compared to the hard board area, the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer after the reduction is enlarged by a fourth preset size along the edge of the copper sheet, and the first copper sheet of the second hard board layer after the reduction is enlarged by 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm; When the metallized hole is 0.5mm-1.0mm away from the flexible board covering film area, the drilling layer file is uniformly enlarged on one side by the fifth preset size, and the drilling layer file is uniformly enlarged on one side by 0.5mm-1.0mm.

[0025] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a rigid-flexible board auxiliary file is a rigid-flexible board auxiliary file produced according to the rigid-flexible board auxiliary file automatic design method.

[0026] In this way, the present application first distinguishes the shapes of the soft board and the hard board, selects the corresponding shape areas and converts them into copper foil properties, and then increases or decreases the size of the copper foil and negatively stacks the copper foil to produce the spacing that needs to be ensured between different shapes, and quickly produces the auxiliary files of the rigid-flexible board to obtain the auxiliary files of the rigid-flexible board that meet the process requirements. The auxiliary files of the rigid-flexible board can be quickly and automatically processed and generated, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the auxiliary files of the rigid-flexible board, reducing the errors in the production files that are easy to omit some required files, thereby improving the yield of the production of rigid-flexible boards, reducing the scrap rate of the production of rigid-flexible boards and improving the quality of the rigid-flexible boards.

[0027] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0028] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
