[0037] The embodiment discloses a PCB defect detection marking device, aiming to solve the problems of high manual dependence, slow beat, and high misjudgment rate in the existing PCB detection, and realize full-automatic, high-precision, and high-efficiency PCB appearance defect detection and marking, which is suitable for various PCB semi-finished product circuit defect (such as circuit gap, circuit short circuit, etc.) maintenance scenes.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , the PCB defect detection marking device includes a detection machine 1 and a turnover machine 2, each part adopts a split structure design, and is connected through a standardized interface, which can be connected in series to form a production line operation, or can be used alone as an offline machine, and has high flexibility.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2 , the detection machine 1 is used for positioning, optical detection, and defect marking of the PCB, and includes a conveying mechanism 3, a positioning mechanism 4, an optical detection mechanism 5, a seal marking mechanism 6, and a bidirectional moving mechanism 7.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3 , the turnover machine 2 is connected between the front and back detection stations of the detection machine 1, realizes 180° turnover of the PCB, and ensures that the front and back surfaces can complete detection.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the conveying mechanism 3 is used for conveying the PCB board along a preset path, ensuring accurate flow between stations, including a conveying power unit 31, a plurality of parallel conveying belts 32 and a conveying belt jacking unit 33.

[0042] The conveying power unit 31 preferably adopts a servo motor 311 as a power source, which disperses power to the plurality of parallel conveying belts 32 through a transmission shaft 312, realizing synchronous operation of the conveying belts 32, ensuring stable PCB board conveying and avoiding deviation.

[0043] The conveying belt jacking unit 33 preferably adopts a cylinder as an executing element, which can drive the whole conveying belt 32 to lift, when the PCB board is conveyed to the detection station, the cylinder jacks up the conveying belt 32 to send the whole conveying belt 32 to the positioning height, after positioning, the cylinder is lowered, and the PCB board falls on the detection platform 41, realizing seamless connection of "conveying-positioning".

[0044] The conveying belt 32 can specifically use a belt and adopt a spring tensioning structure, which can automatically stretch and contract to maintain tension when the conveying belt 32 is jacked up, preventing the belt from relaxing and causing the board to jam.

[0045] The conveying belt 32 is provided with a conveying belt support groove 34 below to limit the lateral deviation of the conveying belt 32, further improving the conveying stability.

[0046] The positioning mechanism 4 is provided corresponding to the detection station of the conveying mechanism 3, used for position fixing and coordinate acquisition of the PCB board, providing accurate positioning reference for subsequent detection and marking.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , 4 , the positioning mechanism 4 includes a detection platform 41 and a positioning unit 42, and the positioning unit 42 preferably adopts a MARK point positioning camera.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4 , the detection platform 41 adopts a negative pressure adsorption method to fix the PCB board, ensuring no warping and displacement during board detection. The detection platform 41 includes a porous suction plate 411 and a suction assembly 412, and a cavity member 413 connected between the porous suction plate 411 and the suction assembly 412, providing an air flow channel for the porous suction plate 411 and the suction assembly 412. The suction assembly 412 is used to provide negative pressure, and air enters the cavity of the cavity member 413 through the orifice of the porous suction plate 411, and flows into the suction assembly 412 through the cavity, thereby forming a negative pressure on the surface of the porous suction plate 411 to adsorb and fix the PCB board.

[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , the detection platform 41 is provided with the positioning unit 42 above, as shown in Figure 4As shown, multiple segmented support columns 43 are provided below. Each support column 43 is composed of multiple support segments 431. Gaps are reserved between adjacent support segments 431, and the gaps are fixed by clamps 432. This facilitates the removal and replacement of the conveyor belt 32 by disassembling the support columns 43, thus reducing maintenance costs. The testing platform 41 preferably adopts a negative pressure adsorption method with a blower to create a vacuum.

[0050] The positioning process is as follows: After the PCB board is placed on the inspection platform 41, the positioning unit 42 collects the MARK point image of the board, calibrates the coordinates and sends them to the bidirectional moving mechanism 7. The bidirectional moving mechanism 7 moves the optical inspection mechanism 5 and the stamp marking mechanism 6 to the target position according to the coordinates.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the bidirectional moving mechanism 7 can move bidirectionally along the X-axis and Y-axis, which is used to drive the optical inspection mechanism 5 and the stamp marking mechanism 6 to accurately reach the target position.

[0052] The bidirectional moving mechanism 7 preferably adopts the form of a gantry dual-axis module. The gantry dual-axis module includes two parallel X-axis modules 71 and two parallel Y-axis modules 72. The Y-axis modules 72 are respectively mounted on the X-axis modules 71 and can move back and forth along the X-axis under the drive of the X-axis modules 71, forming a square or grid-like structure to ensure that the movement range covers the entire inspection platform 41. The X-axis modules 71 preferably use X-axis dual-actuator linear motors, and the Y-axis modules 72 preferably use Y-axis dual-actuator linear motors.

[0053] The two Y-axis modules 72 have a clear division of labor: the first Y-axis module 72 is equipped with an optical inspection mechanism 5, which is responsible for moving and taking pictures for inspection; the second Y-axis module 72 is equipped with a stamp marking mechanism 6, which is responsible for marking defects following the inspection results, so as to realize the "inspection-marking" is carried out simultaneously and improve the cycle speed.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the optical inspection mechanism 5 is used to acquire images of the PCB board and identify appearance defects. The core design revolves around "high-precision imaging" and "low false positive rate". The optical inspection mechanism 5 includes a Z-axis slide 51 and a high-definition color camera 52 and a displacement sensor 53 mounted on the Z-axis slide 51.

[0055] The displacement sensor 53 detects the distance between the PCB board surface and the camera lens in real time and feeds the distance signal back to the Z-axis slide 51. The Z-axis slide 51 adjusts the height of the high-definition color camera 52 according to the feedback signal, ensuring that the image height accuracy is controlled within ±0.5mm to avoid image blurring due to insufficient depth of field. The high-definition color camera 52, in conjunction with a customized high-definition light source, can reproduce the actual colors of the PCB board, clearly capture circuit details, and provide high-quality images for defect identification.

[0056] The lower end of the optical detection mechanism 5 is provided with a blowing assembly 54, and the air outlet of the blowing assembly 54 faces the surface of the PCB board. When the inner layer board is detected, the blowing assembly 54 is started to blow the PCB board flat, so as to prevent the board from being warped due to uneven adsorption under negative pressure, and further ensure the accuracy of image acquisition.

[0057] As shown in Figure 8 , the seal marking mechanism 6 is signal connected with the optical detection mechanism 5, and corresponding marks are made on the PCB board according to the defect position signal. It includes two independent seal assemblies 61 and seal effect detection units 62, which are mounted on the second Y-axis module 72.

[0058] The two seal assemblies 61 can be independently moved, and the marking range is divided according to the area of the PCB board. At the same time, the defects in different areas are marked, which matches the detection speed of the optical detection mechanism 5, and ensures that the beat reaches 5pnl / min (5 points on one side, ≤30% need to be detected).

[0059] The seal assembly 61 can stamp different marks corresponding to different defect types, such as "△" mark for line gap and "□" mark for line short circuit. The defect type is visualized, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance.

[0060] The seal assembly 61 includes a seal body 611 and a lifting unit 612 for driving the seal body 611 to lift. The lifting unit 612 preferably adopts a lifting cylinder.

[0061] The seal effect detection unit 62 takes a real-time photo after marking, checks the clarity of the seal pattern, and if the pattern is blurred, immediately reminds the operator to add ink to avoid missing marks and wrong marks. The seal effect detection unit 62 preferably uses a detection camera.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 , the turnover machine 2 is used to realize 180° turnover of the PCB board, so as to ensure that the front and back of the board can be detected. The turnover machine 2 includes a blocking unit 21, a roller conveying assembly 22, a suction cylinder 23, a suction disc and a conveying assembly 25.

[0063] The turnover process is as follows: first, after the PCB board is detected on the front side, it is sent to the turnover machine 2 by the conveying mechanism 3; then, the blocking unit 21 is extended to the conveying path of the roller conveying assembly 22, blocks the PCB board and makes it accurate; then, the suction cylinder 23 drives the suction disc to descend and adsorb the PCB board in place; then, the suction disc drives the PCB board to rotate 180° to complete the turnover; finally, the conveying assembly 25 sends the turned-over PCB board to the back detection station of the detection machine 1 or the next other station.

[0064] The blocking unit 21 preferably adopts a blocking cylinder.

[0065] The upper and lower transmission wheels 251 of the conveying assembly 25 adopt double-sided tooth synchronous belt transmission, so that the upper and lower transmission wheels 251 rotate in opposite directions but the conveying power directions of the PCB boards are consistent, the stress deviation of the PCB board when being warped is avoided, and the conveying after turning over is stable.

[0066] The code scanning module is arranged at the incoming material starting end of the conveying mechanism 3, obtains board identity information (such as a model, a batch, a production order number and the like) by scanning a two-dimensional code on the surface of the PCB board, and uploads the information to the AI control and detection system, so as to realize board whole-process tracing.

[0067] The AI control and detection system is used as a control unit, is in communication connection with each mechanism, and realizes defect identification, data statistics and equipment linkage control.

[0068] The AI control and detection system is provided with a large computing power core module, adopts CUDA programming and SIMD (single instruction multiple data) programming acceleration processing, realizes hardware level model reasoning, and the single defect detection time is less than or equal to 100 ms. The AI control and detection system can assist the optical detection mechanism 5 in identifying defects, and outputs three results of NG (unqualified), OK (qualified) and uncertain. The uncertain result only needs one staff to rejudge in the central server (1 person can control 4 devices, and the labor is reduced by 50%). The AI control and detection system also supports original data archiving, exporting and SPC analysis, can calculate real-time yield, bad product rate and bad product type distribution, triggers an alarm for continuous bad products (such as three consecutive unqualified boards), provides customized reports (such as defect type quantity and defect area statistics), and can be connected with a factory ERP system to realize data closed-loop management.

[0069] The working process of the PCB board defect detection and marking device provided by the application is as follows:

[0070] 1. Incoming material code scanning: the PCB board is fed by a conveying line, a code scanning module scans a two-dimensional code of the board, obtains board information and uploads the information to an AI system;

[0071] 2. Front surface detection: a conveying belt 32 conveys the PCB board to a front surface detection station, a cylinder lifts the conveying belt 32, completes secondary positioning and then descends, the PCB board falls on a detection platform 41 (fixed by negative pressure adsorption), a positioning unit 42 calibrates coordinates, a bidirectional moving mechanism 7 drives an optical detection mechanism 5 to take a picture and detect defects according to the coordinates, and then the bidirectional moving mechanism 7 drives a seal marking mechanism 6 to stamp the defect position;

[0072] 3. First turning over: after the front surface detection is completed, the conveying belt 32 sends the PCB board to a turning machine 2, a blocking unit 21 positions and adsorbs by a suction cup and turns over by 180°, and a conveying assembly 25 sends the board to a back surface detection station;

[0073] 4. Back surface detection: the back surface detection process is consistent with the front surface (secondary positioning, picture taking, detection and defect marking);

[0074] 5. Second time flip: after the reverse side detection is completed, the PCB board enters the flipper 2 again to flip 180° (restore the initial posture);

[0075] 6. Flow to the next station: the flipped PCB board is sent out of the device by the conveying belt 32 and enters the subsequent production link.

[0076] The PCB board defect detection and marking device realizes full-automatic detection and marking of double-sided PCB boards, meets the detection rhythm, misjudgment rate and data traceability requirements, reduces the labor cost and maintenance difficulty, and is suitable for the maintenance link of large-scale PCB production scenes.

[0077] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields within the inventive concept of the present application and the content of the specification and drawings are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
