[0047] After the circuit board is embedded in the positioning part 6, the positioning part 6 enters the inner wall of the etching machine body 1 with the conveying belt, the inclined surface of the limiting plate 64 is provided with a magnetic part magnetically connected with the positioning block 63, the lower surface of the positioning frame 61 is moved to the corresponding positioning groove 511, at this time the limiting plate 64 attracts the supporting block 531 in the positioning groove 511, the supporting block 531 drives the fixed block 533 to move upward against the elastic force of the limiting spring 532, the bottom end of the fixed block 533 is no longer closely attached to the upper surface of the supporting ring 71, but there is a gap, the bottom end of the bearing table 51 no longer receives comprehensive support from the supporting ring 71, so that the bearing table 51 can be inclined at a certain angle in the space, facilitating the subsequent flow guiding operation of the etching liquid on the circuit board.

[0048] Under normal circumstances, the flow of etching liquid on the plane circuit board is relatively uniform, but for special-shaped lines, such uniform flow may cause some parts to be etched unsatisfactorily, when there are inclined or curved slender lines on the circuit board, the inclined circuit board can make the etching liquid flow along the direction of the lines, like guiding the etching liquid to etch along the lines, so as to better control the etching direction, therefore, the bearing part 5 movably connected with the inner wall of the etching machine body 1 is arranged in the present application.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the bearing part 5 comprises a bearing table 51 arranged below the positioning part 6, the bearing table 51 is designed in a circular plate shape, a rotating block 52 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower part of the bearing table 51, the lower surface of the rotating block 52 is designed in a hemispherical shape, the bottom end of the rotating block 52 is rotatably connected with a circular groove formed in the middle of the bottom end of the inner wall of the etching machine body 1, the rotating block 52 can rotate in the circular groove, the bearing table 51 rotates to drive the bearing table 51 to tilt in different directions, thereby realizing the effect of inclined flow guiding. By tilting, the etching liquid can be filled and etched in the lower area or inner part under the action of gravity, especially in the parts with high precision requirements such as small gaps, fine branches and sharp corners, so as to avoid the accumulation of etching liquid in the high place and cause uneven etching.

[0050] However, only relying on the gravity of inclination has certain limitations on the contact angle and coverage range of the etching liquid and the circuit board, for some multi-layer circuit boards with special shapes or complex line layout, simply relying on the inclination angle may not be able to make the etching liquid reach all line levels, the flow of etching liquid in the local area is uneven, which affects the uniformity of etching, and etching deficiency may occur in higher or lower line parts, and it may not be possible to completely avoid the occurrence of etching blind area, therefore, the rotating part 7 is arranged in the present application, which can drive the bearing part 5 to rotate and tilt, so as to uniformly transmit the etching liquid to the corresponding corners.

[0051] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6The rotating part 7 comprises a supporting ring 71 attached to the lower surface of the bearing table 51, the inner side of the supporting ring 71 is slidingly connected with a movable rod 72, the movable rods 72 are uniformly distributed at the peripheral positions of the bottom end of the bearing table 51 away from the center, the movable rods 72 are sequentially raised to exert a pushing force on the bottom end of the bearing table 51, so that the bearing table 51 drives the positioning part 6 of the bearing circuit board to perform a periodic tilting action, achieving the purpose of adjusting the direction of the etching liquid, the outer surface of the movable rod 72 is sleeved with a telescopic spring 73, the upper surface of the telescopic spring 73 is elastically connected with the lower surface of the supporting ring 71, the top end of the movable rod 72 is fixedly connected with a round block one 721, the bottom end of the movable rod 72 is fixedly connected with a round block two 722, the middle part of the supporting ring 71 is equidistantly provided with a limiting groove slidingly connected with the movable rod 72, the size of the limiting groove is smaller than the diameter size of the round block two 722, the bottom end of the round block two 722 is attached with a rotating table 75, the bottom end of the rotating table 75 is fixedly connected with the telescopic spring 73, the other end of the positioning rod one 76 is rotatably connected with a positioning rod two 77, the other end of the positioning rod two 77 is drivingly connected with a motor 78, there is an included angle between the positioning rod two 77 and the positioning rod one 76, the side edge of the supporting ring 71 is fixedly connected with a supporting rod 79 connected with the inner wall of the etching machine body 1, ensuring the stability of the sliding of the movable rod 72 inside the supporting ring 71.

[0052] The worker starts the motor 78, the motor 78 drives the positioning rod two 77 to rotate, the positioning rod two 77 drives the positioning rod one 76 to rotate, the positioning rod one 76 drives the rotating table 75 to rotate, the rotating table 75 rotates around the fixed fulcrum at the top end of the positioning rod one 76, the tilting angle periodically changes with the included angle between the positioning rod two 77 and the positioning rod one 76, the rotating table 75 is tilted while rotating to extrude the round block two 722, the round block two 722 is forced to drive the movable rod 72 and the round block one 721 to move upwards, the telescopic spring 73 elastically deforms under the limitation of the supporting ring 71, the plurality of round block one 721 sequentially moves upwards to exert a pushing force on the lower surface of the bearing table 51, the bearing table 51 rotates around the rotating block 52 as the center under the pushing force of the round block one 721, the bearing table 51 rotates to drive the positioning part 6 limiting the circuit board to rotate synchronously, therefore, the movement mode of the rotating table 75 is: periodically changing the tilting angle at equal angle intervals during rotation, forming a multi-angle uniform cycle tilting and rotating compound motion.

[0053] The rotating table 75 applies different position forces to the positioning part 6 carrying the circuit board, so that the circuit board is regularly and multi-angelly inclined with the carrying table 51. The initial slow rotation uniformly transmits the etching liquid to the corresponding corners, ensures the uniform distribution of the etching liquid on the entire surface of the circuit board, avoids the concentration of the etching liquid in a certain area, and enables the etching liquid to fully contact the inner layer of the circuit board from various angles. For the multi-layer circuit board with complex shape and different height connecting lines, the etching liquid can be uniformly covered to each corner, and the occurrence of etching blind area can be better avoided. During the rotation process, the movement of the circuit board produces dynamic stirring effect on the etching liquid, enhances the fluidity and mixing effect of the etching liquid, and helps to improve the uniformity of etching. The dynamic stirring can make the chemical substances in the etching liquid more uniformly distributed, so that the etching reaction is more stable and consistent. For the multi-layer circuit board with small line spacing, many line levels and complex mutual connection, the inclined rotation of the circuit board can make the etching liquid more easily enter the narrow line gap and the levels with different heights, and ensure the completeness of etching.

[0054] The upper surface of the support ring 71 is provided with an electromagnetic block at the position coinciding with the center line of the fixed block 533. When the motor 78 is energized and rotated, the electromagnetic block applies a repulsive force to the bottom end of the fixed block 533, and the repulsive force increases as the energization intensity of the motor 78 increases. Therefore, after the drop part 2 in the etching machine main body 1 adds the etching liquid to the surface of the circuit board, the motor 78 is started. When the movable rod 72 pushes the carrying table 51 to rotate and incline, the top end of the fixed block 533 first penetrates the clamping groove 611 and then inserts into the clamping groove 611 to contact with the inner wall structure of the sliding groove 65.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 And Figure 8 The positioning block 63 is slidably connected to the side edge of the positioning part 6. One end of the positioning block 63 close to the center of the positioning frame 61 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 64. The other end of the limiting plate 64 is fixedly connected with a positioning plate one 62. The support 66 includes a positioning plate two 661 which is dampedly slid with the sliding groove 65. One end of the positioning plate two 661 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 662. The other end of the connecting plate 662 is rotatably connected with a connecting rod 663. The middle part of the connecting rod 663 is elastically connected with a spring 665. The connecting plate 662 and the positioning plate one 62 are both designed in L shape. The lower surface of the positioning frame 61 is provided with a clamping groove 611. The support block 531 is slidably connected with the clamping groove 611. The inclined surface of the support block 531 is in contact with the limiting plate 64. The length of the sliding groove 65 is greater than that of the limiting plate 64. In the initial state, the side edge of the sliding groove 65 is in contact with the side edge of the connecting rod 663. With the movement of the sliding groove 65 to the center of the positioning frame 61, the connecting rod 663 will be deformed. The inner wall of the sliding groove 65 is provided with a groove which is slidably connected with the side edge of the connecting rod 663.

[0056] With the rising of the fixed block 533, the fixed block 533 drives the support block 531 to continue to rise against the elastic force of the limiting spring 532, the support block 531 exerts force on the limiting plate 64, the limiting plate 64 drives the sliding groove 65 and the positioning plate one 62 to move synchronously, the movement of the positioning plate one 62 continues to press the side of the circuit board, the movement of the sliding groove 65 drives the deformation of the connecting rod 663, the deformation of the connecting rod 663 pushes the positioning plate two 661 out of the sliding groove 65 through the connecting plate 662, and the other two sides of the circuit board are subjected to force, so that additional force is exerted on the circuit board in the process of tilting and rotating the bearing table 51 to guide the uniform distribution of etching liquid, thereby avoiding the position deviation or even the falling of the circuit board caused by mechanical reasons in the adjustment process.

[0057] After the slow rotation to guide the uniform distribution of etching liquid is completed within the specified rotation time, the motor 78 accelerates rotation, the repulsive force of the electromagnet on the fixed block 533 increases, with the upward movement of the fixed block 533, the space below the bearing table 51 increases, and the angle at which the bearing table 51 can rotate increases, at this time the cleaning part 3 is opened, the cleaning part 3 is arranged on the side of the etching machine body 1, and the inclined water flow is washed to perform subsequent water cleaning operation in the etching machine body 1, without the need to disassemble the circuit board for cleaning, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

[0058] At the same time, due to the increase of the space of the circuit board, the push force of the movable rod 72 makes the circuit board obtain a larger inclination angle. When the inclination operation is entered, the positioning plate one 62 and the positioning plate two 661 can further ensure the firm fixation of the circuit board, avoid the instability of the circuit board caused by vibration, liquid flow and other factors in the etching process, and affect the etching precision, and avoid the movement or inclination of the circuit board in the adjustment process, so as to prevent the physical damage of the circuit board. For some high-precision and thin circuit boards, such collision may cause the circuit board to be broken or the internal circuit to be damaged.

[0059] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements will not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions out of the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
