Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of FPC detection, and particularly to an FPC appearance detection device and an FPC appearance detection method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electronic manufacturing, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are widely used in various electronic products due to their characteristics such as being thin, light, and bendable. With the development of electronic products towards miniaturization and high performance, the quality requirements for FPCs are becoming increasingly stringent. As an important link in ensuring product quality, FPC appearance detection needs to accurately identify various possible defects on both the front and back sides. Since the front side of the FPC usually carries key structures such as complex circuit layouts and precise pads, which play a decisive role in the electrical performance of electronic products, high-precision appearance detection is required on the front side to capture subtle defects such as circuit breaks, short circuits, and pad oxidation. While the back side of the FPC has a relatively simple structure, mainly focusing on obvious appearance defects such as scratches and stains, so only low-precision detection is needed. This difference in detection precision between the front and back sides directly leads to differences in the time and complexity required for detection.

[0003] Currently, existing FPC appearance detection devices generally adopt a linear one-way detection method. The device will sequentially detect the front and back sides of the FPC in a preset fixed order. Specifically, during operation, the device first fixes the FPC at the detection station and performs high-precision detection on the front side. After completing the front-side detection, the FPC is then flipped to perform low-precision detection on the back side. However, since the high-precision detection on the front side involves complex processes such as image acquisition and algorithm analysis, the time required is significantly more than the low-precision detection on the back side. The difference in detection time between the front and back sides results in a large amount of waiting and idle time during the detection process of the device, and the overall detection efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale production for fast and efficient quality detection.

The first detection mechanism 61 includes a first transmission assembly 611 and a first camera 612. The first transmission assembly 611 has translational degrees of freedom in the first direction and the vertical direction. The first transmission assembly 611 includes a first lead screw 6111 and a first guide frame 6112. The first lead screw 6111 is rotatably connected to the support frame 8 in the first direction, and the first lead screw 6111 is driven by a motor. The first guide frame 6112 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 6111, and the first guide frame 6112 translates in the first direction. The moving range of the first guide frame 6112 is the width of the first guide rail 11 in the first direction.

[0036] The first camera 612 is slidably connected to the first guide frame 6112 in the vertical direction. The first camera 612 is arranged facing the first detection section 112. The first camera 612 moves relative to the first guide frame 6112 in the vertical direction to adjust the depth of field of the first camera 612. The first carrier 12 adsorbs the product and moves it to the first detection section 112. The first carrier 12 cooperates with the first transmission assembly 611 to move, so that the first camera 612 detects the front of the product along an "S"-shaped path. Specifically, the first carrier 12 moves intermittently in the first direction. When the first carrier 12 stops, the first guide frame 6112 drives the first camera 612 to perform local detection on the product in the first direction. The first carrier 12 moves a fixed distance in the second direction, and the first guide frame 6112 drives the first camera 612 to perform local detection on the product again in the first direction, so as to perform global detection on the product.

[0037] The first camera 612 is a high-precision camera. Specifically, the first camera 612 uses an industrial camera with 20 million pixels to detect defects such as open / short circuits of the circuit on the front of the product, pad defects, solder mask offset, and micro-scratches.

The detection path of the second camera 622 is similar to that of the first camera 612 and will not be elaborated here. The detection accuracy of the second camera 622 is much lower than that of the first camera 612. The detection area of the second camera 622 is larger than that of the first camera 612. The traveling speed of the second guide frame 6212 driving the second camera 622 is greater than the traveling speed of the first guide frame 6112 driving the first camera 612. In this embodiment, the low-precision detection speed of the second detection mechanism 62 for the reverse side of the product is higher than the high-precision detection speed of the first detection mechanism 61 for the front of the product.

[0039] The second camera 622 is a low-precision camera. The second camera 622 uses a two-million-pixel camera to detect macroscopic defects on the reverse side of the product, such as obvious creases, large-area contamination, and warping, and performs non-critical detection on the reverse side of the product.

[0042] The present application also provides an FPC appearance detection method.

[0043] Specifically as follows: S1: The first handling mechanism 4 adsorbs the first product and transfers it to the first bearing table 12 located in the first transfer section 111. At this time, the front side of the first product faces upward.

[0044] S2: The first carrier 12 moves from the first transfer section 111 to the first capping section 113. The first capping mechanism 71 caps the first glass 713 on the first carrier 12. Subsequently, the first carrier 12 moves to the first inspection section 112. Synchronously, the first handling mechanism 4 adsorbs the second product and transfers it to the third adsorption table 26. At this time, the front side of the second product faces upward. The flipping mechanism 2 flips the second product, and the second handling mechanism 5 transfers the second product located on the third adsorption table 26 to the second carrier 32 located on the second transfer section 311. At this time, the back side of the second product faces upward.

[0045] S3: The first inspection mechanism 61 performs high-precision inspection on the front side of the first product located in the first inspection section 112. Synchronously, the second carrier 32 drives the second product to move to the second capping section 313. The second capping section 313 caps the second glass 723 on the second product. The second carrier 32 drives the second product to move to the second inspection section 312. The second inspection mechanism 62 performs low-precision inspection on the back side of the second product located in the second inspection section 312.

[0046] S4: The first inspection mechanism 61 completes the high-precision inspection of the front side of the first product. The first carrier 12 moves to the first capping section 113. The first capping mechanism 71 removes the first glass 713. The first carrier 12 drives the first product to move to the first transfer section 111. The first handling mechanism 4 adsorbs the first product and transfers it to the third adsorption table 26. Since the time for low-precision inspection is less than that for high-precision inspection, synchronously, the second inspection mechanism 62 completes the low-precision inspection of the back side of the second product. The second carrier 32 moves to the second capping section 313. The second capping mechanism 72 removes the second glass 723. The second carrier 32 drives the second product to move to the second transfer section 311. The second handling mechanism 5 adsorbs the second product and transfers it to the second adsorption table 25. The first adsorption table 24 and the third adsorption table 26 both move towards the second adsorption table 25 to clamp the two products. The flipping mechanism 2 rotates 180 degrees. The first adsorption table 24 and the third adsorption table 26 move in a direction away from the second adsorption table 25. At this time, the first adsorption table 24 is at the bottom and carries the second product with the front side of the second product facing upward, and the second adsorption table 25 carries the first product with the back side of the first product facing upward.

[0047] S5: The first detection mechanism 61 adsorbs the second product and transports it to the first carrier 12 located on the first transfer section 111. The first carrier 12 moves to the first capping section 113, and the first capping mechanism 71 caps the first glass 713 on the first carrier 12. Then the first carrier 12 moves to the first detection section 112 for the first detection mechanism 61 to perform high-precision detection on the front of the second product. Synchronously, the second detection mechanism 62 adsorbs the first product and transports it to the second carrier 32 located on the second transfer section 311. The second carrier 32 moves to the second capping section 313, and the second capping mechanism 72 caps the second glass 723 on the second carrier 32. Then the second carrier 32 moves to the second detection section 312 for the second detection mechanism 62 to perform low-precision detection on the back of the first product.

[0048] S6: The second detection mechanism 62 finishes the low-precision detection on the back of the first product first. The second carrier 32 moves to the second capping section 313, and the second capping mechanism 72 removes the second glass 723. Then the second carrier 32 moves to the second transfer section 311. If both the front and back of the first product are detected as qualified, the second handling mechanism 5 transfers the first product on the second carrier 32 to the third adsorption table 26. The first handling mechanism 4 adsorbs the first product on the third adsorption table 26 and transfers it out of the first transfer section 111 to unload the first product.

[0049] S7: The first detection mechanism 61 finishes the high-precision detection on the front of the second product. The first carrier 12 moves to the first capping section 113, and the first capping mechanism 71 removes the first glass 713. Then the first carrier 12 moves to the first transfer section 111. If both the front and back of the second product are detected as qualified, the first handling mechanism 4 adsorbs the second product on the first carrier 12 and transfers it out of the first transfer section 111 to unload the second product.

[0050] The above are the detection steps when both products are qualified. If any side of the front or back of the two products is detected as unqualified, the product will be transported to the second carrier 32 and transferred out of the second transfer section 311 by the second handling mechanism 5 for product recycling. It should be noted that the qualified rate of products in the actual production process exceeds 90%, and the above detection is to recycle a small number of unqualified products.

[0051] The above solution detects two products synchronously, performs high-precision detection on the front of the products and low-precision detection on the back of the products. By reasonable path design and coordinating with the time difference of product front and back detection, the detection efficiency is greatly improved. Embodiment 2
