Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of PCB etching technology, and particularly relates to a multi-azimuth gradient positioning automobile multilayer PCB etching system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Automobile electronics has extremely strict requirements on the reliability, temperature resistance and signal integrity of printed PCBs, and the manufacturing process of automobile multilayer PCBs is much more complex than that of ordinary consumer electronic products. The core production process of automobile multilayer PCBs covers multiple precision links, and the quality control of each link directly affects the performance of the final product in harsh environments such as vibration, high temperature and humidity. The core production process of multilayer PCBs includes substrate preparation, inner layer manufacturing, lamination and drilling process. The outer layer etching of the multilayer PCB is a key process after lamination, which directly determines the circuit performance and reliability. If the outer layer of the multilayer PCB is etched in advance, it will lead to structural failure, misalignment and yield collapse. In addition, the etching precision and etching time of automobile multilayer PCBs are much higher than those of ordinary PCBs.

[0003] To this end, the application designs a multi-azimuth gradient positioning automobile multilayer PCB etching system. The etching time of the existing etching and cleaning machine is mainly determined by the speed of the conveying belt and the length of the etching chamber, which occupies a large space. The conventional etching method is to place the ordinary PCB flat on the conveying belt, which cannot spray and etch the bottom layer, and needs to be flipped for reverse etching. Since the etching precision and etching time of ordinary PCBs are relatively low, they do not need to be clamped and fixed. When etching the unfixed automobile multilayer PCB, the automobile multilayer PCB may have problems such as position deviation and vibration, which may cause excessive or insufficient etching, and further cause the automobile multilayer PCB to have residual copper short circuit problems.

The front and rear ends of the equipment box 1 and the cleaning bin 4 are provided with avoiding openings corresponding to the tool plates 53.

[0045] In specific implementation:

[0046] Firstly, the conveying and positioning part 5 and the etching part 6 in the present application adopt a step-by-step conveying + nozzle independent swinging cooperation mode to intermittently spray and etch the automobile multi-layer PCB board. It should be noted that in the production process of the automobile multi-layer PCB board, the etched inner layer core plate, prepreg and outer layer copper foil are first laminated, and are fused to form a multi-layer structure under high temperature and high pressure. The whole plate after pressing is subjected to drilling, copper sinking and electroplating operations, and finally the surface circuit is formed through outer layer pattern transfer and etching.

[0047] When feeding, first control the connected transmission shaft 523 to drive the corresponding front and rear two sprockets 521 to rotate synchronously through the servo motor 524, and drive the other side of the front and rear two sprockets 521 and the transmission shaft 523 to rotate synchronously under the transmission action of the roller chain 522. It should be noted that the device box 1 outside is externally provided with a backflow device for recycling the tool plate 53. Since the backflow device is prior art, it will not be described in detail here. The backflow tool plate 53, which has the automobile multi-layer PCB board to be etched in advance, is placed by the externally provided backflow device. It should be further noted that the plurality of limiting plates 531 and the left and right two supporting cross bars 532 are made of corrosion-resistant rubber material to avoid damaging the automobile multi-layer PCB board, and the plurality of limiting plates 531 are initially only partially protruding into the corresponding sliding hole with a round corner treatment. During this period, the automobile multi-layer PCB board will extrude the corresponding plurality of limiting plates 531 to make them retract into the corresponding sliding hole, and they will be supported by the left and right two supporting cross bars 532. Then the plurality of limiting plates 531 will again protrude into the corresponding sliding hole under the action of the spring, thereby achieving the effect of preliminarily limiting and clamping the automobile multi-layer PCB board, and being conveyed to the front and rear two supporting frames 51 through the avoidance opening at the left end of the device box 1. Under the conveying action of the front and rear two sprockets 521, the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB board slide uniformly to the right until the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB board slide along the front and rear two supporting frames 51 to the middle position of the etching bin 3. At this time, the externally provided backflow device will again place the tool plate 53 with the automobile multi-layer PCB board placed in advance on the front and rear two supporting frames 51 and slide uniformly from left to right. The step-by-step conveying can adapt to any etching time, and is not affected by the speed of the conveyor belt and the length of the etching chamber, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0048] When the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB board slide along the front and rear two supporting frames 51 to the middle position of the etching bin 3, the front and rear two sprockets 521 are controlled to stop rotating by the servo motor 524, and then the electromagnets 552 on the front and rear two matching plates 54 are controlled to start working. The front and rear two electromagnets 552 are respectively magnetically attracted to the corresponding alignment magnets 551, thereby achieving the effect of butt joint of the tool plate 53 and the front and rear two matching plates 54 and magnetic attraction connection. At this time, the plurality of flow guide grooves on the front and rear two matching plates 54 are respectively communicated with the corresponding butt joint holes on the tool plate 53. During this period, the front and rear two electromagnets 552 also generate a repulsive force on one end of the magnetic attraction structure of the same side left and right two limiting plates 531. The plurality of limiting plates 531 will again respectively protrude into the corresponding sliding hole, thereby achieving the effect of clamping and limiting the automobile multi-layer PCB board, effectively avoiding the problems of position deviation and vibration of the automobile multi-layer PCB board during subsequent etching of the automobile multi-layer PCB board, causing excessive or insufficient etching, and further causing the problem of residual copper short circuit of the automobile multi-layer PCB board.

[0049] When spray etching, under the driving of the transmission belt, the upper and lower rotating shafts 62 are controlled by the forward and reverse motor 63 to synchronously rotate forward and backward, the upper and lower rotating shafts 62 will drive the plurality of spray pipes 613 connected thereto to synchronously rotate forward and backward, so as to realize the effect that the plurality of spray pipes 613 on the upper and lower sides reciprocate forward and backward uniformly. Then, the etching liquid is delivered into the conveying pipe 611 by the external conveying pump, and the etching liquid is delivered into the plurality of spray pipes 613 on the upper and lower sides from the conveying pipe 611, and is sprayed onto the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multilayer PCB board by the plurality of nozzles on the spray pipes 613. During the spray etching, the plurality of spray pipes 613 on the lower side can avoid the generation of bubbles in the through holes during etching, and the reverse liquid flow is more likely to wash away the residues in the drill holes. Unlike the conventional frame type swing spray method, the upper and lower ends of the automobile multilayer PCB board can be etched simultaneously, and the swing amplitude and frequency can be controlled according to different areas to avoid local etching unevenness. In combination with the automobile multilayer PCB board in a stationary state, the etching accuracy is effectively improved.

[0050] In addition, when the plurality of nozzles spray the etching liquid onto the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multilayer PCB board, the front and rear vacuum pumps are respectively controlled to control the corresponding exhaust pipes 541, and the etching liquid on the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multilayer PCB board is sequentially subjected to negative pressure adsorption effect through the exhaust chamber, the plurality of flow guide grooves and the plurality of butt joints. For the etching liquid on the upper side of the automobile multilayer PCB board, the surface liquid can be quickly removed to reduce the risk of over-etching. For the etching liquid on the lower side of the automobile multilayer PCB board, because the residence time of the upper side spray etching liquid on the automobile multilayer PCB board is much longer than that of the lower side spray etching liquid, the negative pressure suction force generated by the plurality of butt joints can extract the etching liquid sprayed on the lower end face of the automobile multilayer PCB board, so as to increase the contact time of the etching liquid with the lower end face of the automobile multilayer PCB board as much as possible during the process of entering the butt joint, reduce the difference between the upper and lower sides of the spray etching, and effectively improve the etching efficiency of the automobile multilayer PCB board.

[0051] It should be noted that part of the waste liquid generated on the upper and lower sides will directly drop into the etching bin 3 under the action of sputtering or flow, and will be delivered into the left collection bin 7 through the communication pipe for centralized treatment. The waste liquid extracted by the front and rear exhaust pipes 541 through the corresponding exhaust chamber and the plurality of flow guide grooves will also be delivered into the left collection bin 7 through the external vacuum pump and the gas-liquid separation device.

[0052] After the spray etching is completed, the forward and reverse motors 63, the external conveying pump, and the front and rear electromagnets 552 are controlled to stop working in turn. After the multiple limiting plates 531 lose the repulsive force of the corresponding electromagnets 552, they will be retracted into the corresponding sliding holes under the action of the springs to restore to the original position. Then, the front and rear roller chains 522 are controlled to rotate synchronously again by the servo motor 524, so as to drive the spray-finished tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB to continue to slide to the right until the next tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB to be etched slide to the middle of the etching bin 3. The above-mentioned magnetic attraction positioning and spray etching steps are repeated, so that the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multi-layer PCB can be etched at the same time. The tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB that have completed the spray etching will slide to the cleaning bin 4 during the sliding to the right. The clean water is conveyed into the conveying pipe 611 by the external conveying pump. The clean water is conveyed into the multiple spray pipes 613 on the upper and lower sides from the conveying pipe 611, and is sprayed onto the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multi-layer PCB from the multiple nozzles on the spray pipes 613, so as to clean the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multi-layer PCB. The generated wastewater is conveyed into the right collecting bin 7 through the communication pipe for centralized treatment. After cleaning, the tool plate 53 drives the automobile multi-layer PCB to be discharged from the avoiding opening at the right end of the cleaning bin 4, enters the external backflow device, and is taken out from below to above by the artificial or mechanical arm, so as to obtain the automobile multi-layer PCB that has completed the etching.

[0053] It should be noted that all parts in contact with the etching liquid in the present application are made of corrosion-resistant materials. The visible sealing cover 2 can close the two side covers during spray etching to achieve the effect of sealing and preventing the etching liquid from splashing and leaking.

[0054] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:

[0055] Advantage one: the multiple limiting plates 531 and the left and right two supporting horizontal bars 532 are made of corrosion-resistant rubber materials, so as to avoid damaging the automobile multi-layer PCB. When the automobile multi-layer PCB is placed, the multiple limiting plates 531 are retracted into the corresponding sliding holes by being pressed, and are supported by the left and right two supporting horizontal bars 532. The multiple limiting plates 531 are extended into the corresponding sliding holes again, so as to achieve the effect of preliminarily limiting and clamping the automobile multi-layer PCB.

[0056] Advantage two: during feeding, the front and rear roller chains 522 are controlled to rotate synchronously by the servo motor 524, so as to be conveyed to the front and rear supporting frames 51 from the avoiding opening at the left end of the equipment box 1, and drive the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB to slide to the right at a constant speed until the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB slide to the middle of the etching bin 3 along the front and rear supporting frames 51. The step-by-step conveying can adapt to any etching time, and is not affected by the conveying belt speed and the length of the etching chamber, so as to reduce the occupied space.

[0057] The third advantage is that when the tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB plate slide to the middle position of the etching bin 3 along the front and rear support frames 51, the servo motor 524 controls the front and rear chain wheels 521 to stop rotating, and then controls the electromagnets 552 on the front and rear matching plates 54 to start working. The front and rear electromagnets 552 are respectively magnetically attracted to the corresponding alignment magnets 551, so as to realize the butt joint of the tool plate 53 and the front and rear matching plates 54, and the magnetic attraction effect. During this period, the front and rear electromagnets 552 also generate a repulsive force at one end of the magnetic attraction structure of the same side left and right limiting plates 531. The plurality of limiting plates 531 will again respectively extend into the corresponding sliding holes, so as to realize the effect of clamping and limiting the automobile multi-layer PCB plate, effectively avoiding the problems of position deviation and vibration of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate during subsequent etching of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate, causing excessive or insufficient etching, and further causing the problem of residual copper short circuit of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate.

[0058] The fourth advantage is that during the spraying etching, the forward and reverse motor 63 controls the upper and lower rotating shafts 62 to synchronously forward and reverse, so as to realize the effect of uniform forward and reverse reciprocating swing of the plurality of spraying pipes 613 on the upper and lower sides. Then, the plurality of nozzles on the spraying pipes 613 spray onto the upper and lower end faces of the corresponding automobile multi-layer PCB plate. During the spraying of the etching liquid, the plurality of spraying pipes 613 on the lower side can avoid the generation of bubbles in the holes during etching, and the reverse flow is more easy to wash away the residues in the holes. Unlike the conventional frame type swing spraying method, the upper and lower ends of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate can be sprayed and etched at the same time. The swing amplitude and frequency can be controlled according to different areas to avoid the problem of uneven local etching. In combination with the automobile multi-layer PCB plate in a stationary state, the etching precision is effectively improved.

[0059] The fifth advantage is that the front and rear vacuum pumps of the external device respectively control the corresponding discharge pipes 541, and sequentially pass through the discharge cavity, the plurality of flow guide grooves and the plurality of butt joint holes to generate a negative pressure adsorption effect on the etching liquid on the upper and lower end faces of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate. For the etching liquid on the upper side of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate, the surface liquid can be quickly removed to reduce the risk of over-etching. For the etching liquid on the lower side of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate, the etching liquid sprayed on the lower end face of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate can be extracted, so that the contact time of the etching liquid with the lower end face of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate is as long as possible during the passage into the butt joint hole, the difference between the upper and lower side spraying etching is reduced, and the etching efficiency of the automobile multi-layer PCB plate is effectively improved.

[0060] The sixth advantage is that after the spray etching is completed, the forward and reverse motors 63, the external conveying pump and the front and rear electromagnets 552 are controlled to stop working in sequence, then the front and rear roller chains 522 are controlled to rotate synchronously by the servo motor 524 again, the spray completed tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB board are driven to continue to slide to the right, and the spray etched tool plate 53 and the automobile multi-layer PCB board will slide into the cleaning bin 4 during the sliding to the right, so that the upper and lower end surfaces of the automobile multi-layer PCB board can be cleaned by the multiple nozzles of the spray pipe 613.
