BACKGROUND
[0002] After a certain workshop produces a batch of circuit boards 1 as shown in the drawings, Figures 1-2 a process requires a stepped groove to be opened on the outer edge of the circuit board 1, and the stepped groove is composed of a wide strip-shaped groove 2 and a narrow strip-shaped groove 3, and the wide strip-shaped groove 2 is connected to the narrow strip-shaped groove 3, as shown in the structural diagram of the circuit board 1 with a stepped groove, Figures 3-4 wherein the stepped groove is used for welding an electronic component in the shape of a step.
[0003] The method used by the workers in the workshop to open a stepped groove on the outer edge of the circuit board 1 is as follows:
[0004] S1. The worker takes out a circuit board 1 from a basket and places it flat on the surface of the tooling table of the milling machine, and fixes the circuit board 1 on the tooling table through a clamp;
[0005] S2. The worker draws a line on the top surface of the outer edge of the circuit board 1 with chalk, and the line is the position of the stepped groove to be opened, so that the circuit board 1 enters the position for opening the stepped groove;
[0006] S3. The worker operates the milling machine to make the large-diameter milling cutter of the milling machine mill the circuit board 1 along the line, and when the large-diameter milling cutter moves a distance, a wide strip-shaped groove 2 is milled and processed on the outer edge of the circuit board 1, as shown in the drawings; Figures 5-6
[0007] S4. The worker replaces the large-diameter milling cutter of the milling machine with a small-diameter milling cutter, and then makes the small-diameter milling cutter of the milling machine mill the bottom of the wide strip-shaped groove 2, and when the small-diameter milling cutter moves a distance, a narrow strip-shaped groove 3 is milled and processed on the basis of the wide strip-shaped groove 2, thereby finally realizing the opening of a stepped groove on the outer edge of the first circuit board 1;
[0008] S5. The worker opens the clamp on the tooling table, and then takes away the circuit board 1 with the stepped groove from the tooling table;
[0009] S6. The worker repeats the steps S1-S5 multiple times, and a stepped groove is opened on the outer edge of each of the multiple circuit boards 1.

[0012] II, the method used in the workshop can only open a stepped groove on the outer edge of one circuit board 1 at a time, and there are 200 circuit boards 1 to be opened in the workshop every day, and this one-by-one method of opening the stepped groove on the circuit board 1 consumes a long time to open the stepped groove on the outer edge of the 200 circuit boards 1 in a day, which undoubtedly further reduces the efficiency of opening the stepped groove on the outer edge of the circuit board 1.
