Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of PCB board processing technology, and in particular to a PCB board processing apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] A PCB, also known as a printed circuit board, is a crucial electronic component. It serves as the support for electronic components and the carrier for their electrical interconnections. Almost every electronic device, from small items like watches and calculators to large systems like computers, communication devices, and military weaponry, utilizes a PCB to enable electrical interconnection between integrated circuits and other electronic components. PCBs replace complex wiring, simplifying assembly and soldering, reducing traditional wiring work, and significantly alleviating worker fatigue. They also reduce overall size, lower costs, and improve the quality and reliability of electronic devices. Furthermore, they offer good product consistency and standardized design, facilitating mechanization and automation in production. Currently, PCBs are widely used in the manufacturing of electronic products.
[0003] Copper plating is a key process in circuit board manufacturing. After drilling, the PCB board undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction in a copper plating bath to form a copper layer, thus metallizing the holes and depositing copper onto the originally insulating substrate surface, achieving interlayer electrical connectivity. The standard copper plating process includes four stages: pretreatment, activation, chemical copper plating, and post-treatment. Pretreatment includes removing adhesive residue, neutralization, and micro-etching; activation includes colloidal palladium adsorption and adhesive removal; chemical copper plating includes copper plating and board plating; and post-treatment includes backlight testing and water washing and drying. Each adjacent process step requires thorough rinsing of the circuit board to prepare for the next step.
[0004] However, the following drawbacks still need to be addressed: after completing one of the steps, the PCB board still has residual chemicals on its surface, and there are also accumulated chemical droplets at the bottom. Direct rinsing would result in waste of chemicals. Summary of the Invention

The top circumference of the two rollers is in contact with the bottom end of the guide tooth plate. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the input end of the traveling gear.
[0008] Preferably, a T-shaped rod is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom ends of the two movable sleeves, and the two sides of the movable frame are slidably sleeved with the T-shaped rod. A support spring is fixedly installed between the circumference of the T-shaped rod and the movable frame.
[0009] Preferably, the movable frame has an installation cavity inside, and the bottom of the installation cavity has multiple equally spaced rectangular openings. Multiple equally spaced bidirectional threaded rods are rotatably installed inside the installation cavity. The two ends of the bidirectional threaded rods are rotatably installed with two clamping members, and each bidirectional threaded rod is located at the top of the rectangular opening in the same column. A first transmission assembly is provided between the input ends of the multiple bidirectional threaded rods.
[0010] Preferably, each of the rectangular holes is located between the hydraulic push rods and T-shaped rods in the same row, and the two jet frames are located on the outer sides of the two ends of the movable frame, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, a second transmission component is provided on the outer wall of one end of the movable frame, and both the first and second transmission components are composed of multiple sprockets and transmission chains connected together. A third transmission component is provided between the two sprockets of the second transmission component and the two driving gears respectively, and the third transmission component is an intersecting shaft gear transmission. A driving component is fixedly installed at the input end of one of the sprockets of the first and second transmission components.
[0012] Preferably, the U-shaped toothed plate is sleeved with the outer side of the bridge frame, the outer walls at both ends of the U-shaped toothed plate are slidably sleeved with the inner walls on both sides of the rectangular hole, and the inner walls at both ends of the U-shaped toothed plate are circumferentially meshed with the driven gear.

[0017] 1. The PCB board processing device proposed in this invention has a rectangular frame at the top of the processing tank, and a bridge and a movable frame slidably mounted at the bottom of the rectangular frame. When the movable frame lifts the PCB board held by the clamping member from the chemical tank and / or spray tank with the extension and retraction of the hydraulic push rod, the distance sensor monitors the distance between the bridge and the movable frame. The second and third transmission components work together to make the driving gear drive two driven gears to rotate. The U-shaped toothed plate moves the spray frame and the flow-lifting plate downward along the rectangular hole. The air pump works in conjunction to make the airflow sprayed by the spray frame and the flow-lifting plate blow the chemical solution on the surface of the PCB board downward, accelerating the downward flow and back dripping of the chemical solution. Similarly, it can also accelerate the downward flow and back dripping of the cleaning water. This can reduce chemical waste, avoid chemical dilution and pollution, and improve the cleaning spraying efficiency. In addition, the reciprocating cylinder can make the flow-lifting plate cyclically adjust the air outlet angle, and the pressure boosting valve can make the air outlet speed of the flow-lifting plate faster, further enhancing the effect of removing liquid from the PCB board.

The PCB board processing device proposed in this invention has a guide tooth plate fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the two ends of a rectangular frame, and the bottom end of the circumference of the traveling gear meshes with the top end of the guide tooth plate. When the drive motor works, the traveling gear can move the bridge and the moving frame along the guide tooth plate. At the same time, two moving sleeves move along the rectangular frame. The extension and retraction of two hydraulic push rods can make the moving frame move up and down with multiple sets of clamping parts and the PCB board, so as to achieve the immersion effect of the PCB board in the chemical tank and the spray tank. The two T-shaped rods help to enhance the stability of the moving frame when it moves up or down, and the support spring helps to control the speed and reset of the moving frame.

A blower plate 29 is rotatably installed at the opposite ends of the bottom ends of the two jet frames 28. An air pump 32 is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer wall at the opposite ends of the two jet frames 28.
[0028] In this invention, side plates 12 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the bridge frame 9, and a traveling gear 14 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the opposite end of the two side plates 12. Rollers 16 are rotatably installed on both ends of the lower end of the opposite end of the two side plates 12. A guide tooth plate 5 is fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the two ends of the rectangular frame 4, and the bottom circumference of the traveling gear 14 meshes with the top end of the guide tooth plate 5. The top circumference of the two rollers 16 is in contact with the bottom end of the guide tooth plate 5. A drive motor 15 is fixedly installed on the input end of the traveling gear 14. By working with the drive motor 15, the traveling gear 14 can move the bridge frame 9 and the moving frame 10 along the guide tooth plate 5. At the same time, the two moving sleeves 6 move along the rectangular frame 4. The extension and retraction of the two hydraulic push rods 13 can make the moving frame 10 move up and down with multiple sets of clamping parts 20 and the PCB board, so as to achieve the immersion effect of the PCB board in the chemical tank 2 and the spray tank 3. The two T-shaped rods 7 help to enhance the stability of the moving frame 10 when it moves up or down. The support spring 8 helps the moving frame 10 control the speed and reset.

[0031] Each rectangular hole 22 is located between the hydraulic push rod 13 and the T-shaped rod 7 in the same row, and the two jet frames 28 are located on the outer sides of both ends of the moving frame 10 respectively;
[0032] A second transmission assembly 25 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the movable frame 10. Both the first transmission assembly 21 and the second transmission assembly 25 are composed of multiple sprockets and transmission chains connected together. A third transmission assembly 31 is provided between the two sprockets of the second transmission assembly 25 and the two driving gears 23, and the third transmission assembly 31 is an intersecting shaft gear transmission. A driving component is fixedly installed at the input end of one of the sprockets of the first transmission assembly 21 and the second transmission assembly 25. Through the transmission of the second transmission assembly 25, the third transmission assembly 31 can be driven, thereby causing the driving gear 23 to drive the two driven gears 24 to rotate. The U-shaped toothed plate 26, along with the spray frame 28 and the booster plate 29, can be moved downward along the rectangular hole 22. The air pump 32 works in conjunction to make the airflow sprayed by the spray frame 28 and the booster plate 29 blow the liquid on the PCB board surface downward, accelerating the downward flow and dripping of the liquid. Similarly, it can also accelerate the downward flow and dripping of the cleaning water. This can reduce the waste of liquid and avoid the dilution and contamination of the liquid, and also improve the cleaning spray efficiency. In addition, the reciprocating cylinder 30 can make the booster plate 29 adjust the air outlet angle in a cycle, and the pressure booster valve 35 can make the air outlet speed of the booster plate 29 faster, further enhancing the effect of removing liquid from the PCB board.
[0033] The U-shaped toothed plate 26 is sleeved on the outside of the bridge frame 9. The outer walls at both ends of the U-shaped toothed plate 26 are slidably sleeved with the inner walls on both sides of the rectangular hole 22. The inner walls at both ends of the U-shaped toothed plate 26 are circumferentially meshed with the driven gear 24.
[0034] Two jet frames 28 are fixedly provided with multiple jet pipes 36 at equal intervals at opposite ends, and two jet boosters 29 are provided with multiple jet channels at equal intervals at opposite ends;

[0037] Working principle: A rectangular frame 4 is set at the top of the treatment tank 1, and a bridge 9 and a moving frame 10 are slidably set at the bottom of the rectangular frame 4. When the moving frame 10 extends and retracts with the hydraulic push rod 13, it lifts the PCB board held by the clamping member 20 from the chemical tank 2 and / or the spray tank 3. The distance sensor 11 detects the distance between the bridge 9 and the moving frame 10. The second transmission component 25 and the third transmission component 31 work together to make the driving gear 23 drive the two driven gears 24 to rotate. The U-shaped toothed plate 26 carries the spray frame 28 and the jetting plate 2. 9. Moving downwards along the rectangular hole 22, the air pump 32 works in conjunction, causing the airflow from the spray frame 28 and the blower plate 29 to blow the liquid on the PCB board surface downwards, accelerating the downward flow and dripping of the liquid. Similarly, it can also accelerate the downward flow and dripping of the cleaning water, which can reduce the waste of liquid and avoid the dilution and pollution of the liquid, and also improve the cleaning spray efficiency. In addition, the reciprocating cylinder 30 can make the blower plate 29 adjust the air outlet angle in a cycle, and the pressure booster valve 35 can make the air outlet speed of the blower plate 29 faster, further enhancing the effect of removing liquid from the PCB board.
[0038] Guide toothed plates 5 are fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the rectangular frame 4, and the bottom circumference of the traveling gear 14 meshes with the top of the guide toothed plate 5. When the drive motor 15 works, the traveling gear 14 can move the bridge frame 9 and the moving frame 10 along the guide toothed plate 5. At the same time, the two moving sleeves 6 move along the rectangular frame 4. The extension and retraction of the two hydraulic push rods 13 can make the moving frame 10 move up and down with multiple sets of clamping parts 20 and PCB board, so as to achieve the immersion effect of the PCB board inside the chemical tank 2 and the spray tank 3. The two T-shaped rods 7 help to enhance the stability of the moving frame 10 when it moves up or down, and the support spring 8 helps the moving frame 10 control the speed and reset.
