DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions.

[0045] In addition, the terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or display that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or display.

[0046] During the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs), the quality of the PCBs is tested using PCB testing equipment. The PCB testing equipment has a suction port. When the PCB testing equipment is testing the PCBs, the suction port uses negative pressure to absorb and secure the PCBs.

[0047] In a workshop with multiple PCB board testing equipment, each PCB board testing equipment is equipped with a fan and a negative pressure interface for connecting to the corresponding fan. Each PCB board testing equipment generates negative pressure at the corresponding suction port through the corresponding fan.

[0048] However, it is noisy and takes up a lot of space.

[0049] Exemplarily, the PCB board inspection equipment includes an automatic optical inspection equipment (Automated Optical Inspection, AOI).

[0050] In order to solve the problem of high noise in a workshop with multiple PCB board testing equipment, the present application provides a vacuum device for PCB board testing equipment.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A vacuum device for PCB board testing equipment includes: a fan 100, which is used for vacuuming; a main line 200, which is connected to the fan 100; a plurality of branch lines 300, each of which is used to connect to the negative pressure interface of a PCB board testing equipment 10, each branch line 300 is connected to the fan 100 through the main line 200, and each branch line 300 has a first electrically controlled valve 310, which is used to control the connection between the corresponding negative pressure interface and the main line 200; a control component 400, which is used to be electrically connected to each PCB board testing equipment 10, and the fan 100 and each first electrically controlled valve 310 are electrically connected to the control component 400;

[0052] The control component 400 is configured to control the power of the fan 100 and the opening and closing of the first electrically controlled valve 310 on the branch pipe 300 corresponding to the PCB board testing device 10 according to the opening state of each PCB board testing device 10 .

[0053] An exemplary explanation of "the control component 400 controls the opening and closing of the first electrically controlled valve 310 on the branch pipe 300 corresponding to each PCB board detection device 10 according to the opening state of each PCB board detection device 10": Assume that there are four PCB board detection devices A, B, C and D in a workshop; the opening states of these four PCB board detection devices are A and B open, and C and D closed; then the control component 400 controls the first electrically controlled valve 310 corresponding to A and the first electrically controlled valve 310 corresponding to B to be both opened; and the control component 400 controls the first electrically controlled valve 310 corresponding to C and the first electrically controlled valve 310 corresponding to D to be both closed.

[0054] Exemplarily, the PCB board detection device 10 has a physical button or a virtual button (for example, the carrier is a touch screen) for controlling its power-on state, and the control component 400 can be electrically connected to the carrier of the physical button or the virtual button.

[0055] Exemplarily, the PCB board detection device has a controller that can feedback its startup status, and the control component 400 can be electrically connected to the controller.

[0056] Exemplarily, the PCB board detection device has a relay that can feedback its open state, and the control component 400 can be electrically connected to the relay.

[0057] An exemplary explanation of “the control component 400 controls the power of the fan 100 according to the start-up state of each PCB board detection device 10 ”: Assume that there are four PCB board detection devices 10 , namely A, B, C and D, in a workshop.

[0058] For example, the control component 400 can control the power of the fan 100 based on the number of PCB board inspection devices 10 that are turned on. Specifically, when one of the four PCB board inspection devices 10 is turned on and the other three are turned off, the control component 400 controls the power of the fan 100 to W1; when two of the four PCB board inspection devices 10 are turned on and the other two are turned off, the control component 400 controls the power of the fan 100 to W2; when three of the four PCB board inspection devices 10 are turned on and the other one is turned off, the control component 400 controls the power of the fan 100 to W3; when all four PCB board inspection devices 10 are turned on, the control component 400 controls the power of the fan 100 to W4, where W4>W3>W2>W1. It is understood that when all four PCB board inspection devices are turned off, the control component 400 controls the fan 100 to stop.

[0059] For example, the control component 400 can also control the power of the fan 100 based on the combination of the power-on states of each PCB board inspection device 10. Specifically, if one combination of the power-on states of the four PCB board inspection devices 10 (A, B, C, and D) is that A and B are on and C and D are off, the power of the fan 100 is controlled to be W5. If another combination of the power-on states of the four PCB board inspection devices 10 is that A and C are on and B and D are off, the power of the fan 100 is controlled to be W6.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vacuum device for PCB testing equipment uses a single blower 100, via a main line 200 and multiple branch lines 300, to provide negative pressure to each PCB testing device 10 in a workshop with multiple PCB testing devices 10. This facilitates centralized blower installation, facilitating noise control in the workshop and resolving the issue of excessive noise. Furthermore, each PCB testing device 10 no longer needs a separate blower, reducing the size of each device 10 and the total space occupied by the PCB testing equipment.

[0061] It should be noted that the fan generates hot air during operation. If each PCB board testing device 10 is equipped with a fan, this hot air will inevitably be discharged into the workshop. The vacuum device in the PCB board testing device facilitates centralized processing of the hot air generated by the fan operation, reducing the heat generated by each PCB board testing device 10 itself and thus minimizing the impact on the workshop temperature.

[0062] In addition, the vacuum device of the PCB board testing equipment is also helpful in reducing energy consumption in the production workshop.

[0063] Table 1 Comparative data on energy saving of vacuum devices for PCB board testing equipment

[0064]

[0065] Exemplary, with reference to Table 1, wherein, PCB board detection equipment one, PCB board detection equipment two and PCB board detection equipment three are three different types of PCB board detection equipment in the workshop.Wherein, the quantity of PCB board detection equipment one is 7, the quantity of PCB board detection equipment two is 6, and the quantity of PCB board detection equipment three is 4, which adds up to 17 PCB board detection equipments in the workshop.Before transformation, each PCB board detection equipment one, each PCB board detection equipment two and each PCB board detection equipment three all had corresponding blower fan, and before transformation, the annual power consumption of 17 PCB board detection equipments was 92005.63KWH.After transformation, PCB board detection system (comprising the vacuum device and 17 PCB board detection equipment of the PCB board detection equipment provided by the application), under the premise of maintaining original workload, annual power consumption is 29636.25KWH, and energy consumption is significantly reduced relative to before transformation. The workshop air conditioning unit is used to cool the workshop to maintain the workshop temperature. While maintaining the same temperature requirement, the annual power consumption of the workshop air conditioning unit is reduced from 29,636.25 kilowatt-hours to 15,578.62 kilowatt-hours. For the workshop, by using the vacuum device of the PCB board testing equipment provided in this application, both the PCB testing process and the workshop air conditioning unit achieve the technical effect of reducing energy consumption.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vacuum device of the PCB board testing equipment further includes a plurality of negative pressure sensors 500, each of which is correspondingly arranged on the branch pipe 300. The negative pressure sensor 500 is located between the first electrically controlled valve 310 and the corresponding negative pressure interface. Each negative pressure sensor 500 is electrically connected to the control component 400. The negative pressure sensor 500 is configured to detect the negative pressure value of the corresponding negative pressure interface.

[0067] The control assembly 400 is configured to adjust the negative pressure value corresponding to the opened first electrically controlled valve 310 to a set value by controlling the power of the blower 100 after the first electrically controlled valve 310 is opened.

[0068] It should be noted that the control assembly 400 controls the power of the fan 100 based on the power-on status of each PCB inspection device 10, which can be considered "coarse adjustment." This "coarse adjustment" facilitates rapid response. After the first electrically controlled valve 310 is opened, the negative pressure corresponding to the opened first electrically controlled valve 310 is adjusted to the set value by controlling the power of the fan 100. This constitutes further "fine adjustment" or "correction," facilitating more accurate control of the negative pressure at the negative pressure connection port.

[0069] For example, refer to Figure 1 The vacuum device of the PCB board detection equipment also includes a plurality of digital pressure gauges 510, each digital pressure gauge 510 is arranged on the branch pipe 300 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the digital pressure gauge 510 is used to display the corresponding negative pressure value.

[0070] For example, a valve seat may be provided on the branch line 300 , and the corresponding negative pressure sensor 500 and the corresponding digital pressure gauge 510 may be connected through the valve seat.

[0071] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vacuum device of the PCB board detection equipment also includes multiple alarm components, each alarm component is used to be set in a one-to-one correspondence with each PCB board detection equipment 10, and the control component 400 is configured to, after the first electric-controlled valve 310 is opened, if the negative pressure value corresponding to the opened first electric-controlled valve 310 is zero, control the first electric-controlled valve 310 to close, and the alarm component corresponding to the first electric-controlled valve 310 to alarm.

[0072] It should be noted that some PCB board detection equipment in the prior art can also be opened when there is no PCB board at the corresponding suction port. After the first electric control valve 310 is opened, if the corresponding suction port is not covered, the vacuum degree in the main line 200 will be destroyed. After the first electric control valve 310 is opened, if the negative pressure value corresponding to the opened first electric control valve 310 is zero, the control component 400 controls the first electric control valve 310 to close to avoid the problem of destroying the vacuum degree of the main line 200 due to the suction port not being covered. The alarm component is used to remind the staff that the suction port is not adsorbed, so that the PCB board to be tested can be placed in time.

[0073] Exemplarily, the alarm component can be an audible alarm, a light alarm, or a combination of audible and light alarm.

[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control assembly 400 includes a host 410, a multi-channel analog module 420, and a frequency converter 430. The multi-channel analog module 420 is electrically connected to each negative pressure sensor 500, and is in communication with the host 410. The host 410 is electrically connected to each PCB board inspection device 10. The host 410 is configured to generate an analog signal based on the power-on state, negative pressure value, and set value corresponding to the negative pressure value of each PCB board inspection device 10. The frequency converter 430 is electrically connected to the host 410, and is also electrically connected to the fan 100. The frequency converter 430 is configured to control the power supply frequency of the fan 100 based on the analog signal to control the power of the fan 100.

[0075] It can be understood that the host 410, the multi-channel analog module 420 and the frequency converter 430 are the control components 400 based on the frequency conversion control principle, which is conducive to further ensuring energy saving effects.

[0076] Exemplarily, the host is a PLC host. As is understood, as is conventional technology, the PLC host has an analog output interface, and the frequency converter 430 has an analog input interface. Both the first electrically controlled valve 310 and the second electrically controlled valve 610 are connected to an intermediate relay. The opening and closing of the corresponding intermediate relay contacts controls the powering on or off of the corresponding first electrically controlled valve 310 or the corresponding second electrically controlled valve 610, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the corresponding first electrically controlled valve 310 or the corresponding second electrically controlled valve 610. The PLC host controls the powering on and off of the intermediate relay coil to control the opening and closing of the intermediate relay contacts.

[0077] In some embodiments, the vacuum device of the PCB board detection equipment also includes multiple pressure relief components 600, the pressure relief components 600 include second electrically controlled valves 610, each second electrically controlled valve 610 is arranged one-to-one on the branch line 300, the first end of the second electrically controlled valve 610 is connected to the branch line 300, the connection position between the first end of the second electrically controlled valve 610 and the branch line 300 is located between the negative pressure interface and the first electrically controlled valve 310, the second end of the second electrically controlled valve 610 is used to connect to the outside atmosphere, and each second electrically controlled valve 610 is electrically connected to the control component 400. The control component 400 is configured to, when the PCB board inspection device 10 is turned on, first control the corresponding second electrically controlled valve 610 to close, and then control the corresponding first electrically controlled valve 310 to open, so that the corresponding negative pressure interface and the main line 200 are connected; when the PCB board inspection device 10 is turned off, first control the corresponding first electrically controlled valve 310 to close, and then control the corresponding second electrically controlled valve 610 to open, so that the corresponding negative pressure interface is connected to the outside atmosphere through the second electrically controlled valve 610.

[0078] It can be understood that when the PCB board detection device 10 is turned off, the negative pressure adsorption can be released.

[0079] At this point, the control assembly 400 controls the first electrically controlled valve 310 to close and the second electrically controlled valve 610 to open, thereby releasing the negative pressure at the corresponding adsorption interface through the opened second electrically controlled valve 610. This releases the negative pressure at the adsorption port corresponding to the adsorption interface, thereby releasing the negative pressure adsorption. At the same time, the vacuum level of the main line 200 is not disrupted.

[0080] Exemplarily, the pressure relief assembly 600 further includes a first pipe filter 620, which is configured to filter the airflow flowing into the corresponding branch pipe 300 through the second electrically controlled valve 610. The first pipe filter 620 can be connected to the second end of the second electrically controlled valve 610; alternatively, the first pipe filter 620 can be connected between the first end of the second electrically controlled valve 610 and the corresponding branch pipe.

[0081] It should be noted that the first pipe filter 620 itself belongs to the existing technology, and its detailed structure is not described here.

[0082] In some embodiments, the vacuum device of the PCB board detection equipment also includes a duct muffler 700 and a second duct filter 800. The duct muffler 700 is arranged on the air outlet of the fan 100; the second duct filter 800 is arranged between the air intake of the fan 100 and the main line 200, and the second duct filter 800 is used to filter the air flow entering the fan 100 from the main line 200.

[0083] It should be noted that the pipe silencer 700 itself belongs to the prior art and is used to reduce or eliminate the noise generated when the air flows in the pipe. The second pipe filter 800 itself also belongs to the prior art and is used to filter the air flow in the corresponding pipe.

[0084] It is understandable that the second duct filter 800 helps to keep the fan 100 clean. The duct muffler 700 reduces the operating noise of the vacuum device of the PCB board testing equipment.

[0085] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a vacuum device of a PCB board detection equipment, wherein the fan 100 is a vortex fan.

[0086] It can be understood that the vortex blower itself is an existing technology. The vortex blower can generate a much higher pressure than an ordinary centrifugal fan (usually up to tens of kilopascals, or even more than 100kPa) in a smaller volume and power; the vortex blower adopts an oil-free design (the motor and the air path are isolated), and the exhausted air does not contain oil, which is conducive to air cleaning and suitable for the production environment of PCB boards; the vortex blower has fast startup and quick response. After its application in this application, it is conducive to the rapid response of this application.

[0087] In some embodiments, the vacuum device of the PCB board detection equipment also includes a third electrically controlled valve 900; the third electrically controlled valve 900 is arranged between the fan 100 and the main line 200, and the third electrically controlled valve 900 is used to control the on-off between the fan 100 and the main line 200, and the third electrically controlled valve 900 is electrically connected to the control component 400; the control component 400 is configured to, when all the first electrically controlled valves 310 are closed, control the third electrically controlled valve 900 to close, control the fan 100 to shut down, and the shutdown time of the fan 100 is no earlier than the closing time of the third electrically controlled valve 900.

[0088] As will be appreciated, when all first electrically controlled valves 310 are closed, this means that all PCB inspection equipment 10 in the workshop are in the off state, requiring the fan 100 to be shut down. After all first electrically controlled valves 310 are closed, the control assembly 400 controls the third electrically controlled valve 900 to close, and the control assembly 400 controls the fan 100 to shut down, with the fan 100 shutting down no earlier than the closing time of the third electrically controlled valve 900. This prevents pressure relief in the main line 200 through the fan after the fan 100 is shut down, thereby maintaining a certain vacuum level in the main line 200. This facilitates the rapid formation of negative pressure in the corresponding branch line 300 when a PCB inspection equipment 10 is restarted, further reducing energy consumption.

[0089] For example, when the fan 100 is started from a shutdown state, the third electrically controlled valve 900 needs to be opened after the fan 100 is started to avoid pressure relief of the main line 200 through the fan 100; the first electrically controlled valve 310 is opened after the third electrically controlled valve 900 is opened to ensure adsorption force.

[0090] The present application also provides a PCB board detection system, which includes multiple PCB board detection devices 10 and the vacuum device of the above-mentioned PCB board detection device.

[0091] It is understandable that the PCB board inspection system provided by this application has the characteristics of low noise in each PCB board inspection device, low overall energy consumption and space saving.
