Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] This invention provides, for example Figures 1 to 11 The automatic drilling and riveting machine shown includes a machining center 1. Inside the machining center 1 are an inlet conveyor mechanism 4 and an outlet conveyor mechanism 5 for transporting PCB boards. The area between the inlet conveyor mechanism 4 and the outlet conveyor mechanism 5 is a processing station. The machining center 1 is equipped with an inlet frame 2 and an outlet frame.

The machining center 1 is equipped with a control panel 3 and a controller for operating the entire machining center 1. The machining center 1 is equipped with an existing CCD vision inspection system and a UVW alignment platform for precise positioning of the PCB boards. The machining center 1 is also equipped with a servo-driven positioning device for initial positioning and correcting the placement posture of the PCB boards. All of the above are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The top single-axis drilling module 6 and the bottom single-axis drilling module 7 are installed inside the machining center 1, and the top single-axis drilling module 6 and the bottom single-axis drilling module 7 are positioned opposite each other.

[0040] Both the top single-axis drilling module 6 and the bottom single-axis drilling module 7 include a spindle chuck. Each spindle chuck holds and fixes a drilling tool 9 for drilling and removing rivets from the PCB board. A drill bit 10 is fixedly installed at the end of each drilling tool 9 away from the spindle chuck. The two drill bits 10 are coaxially opposite each other, and the machining position is located between the two drill bits 10.

[0041] The bottom drill bit 10 is used to cut the outer copper foil on the bottom of the PCB, while the top drill bit 10 is used to drill through the PCB. The two drill bits 10 work together to drill out rivets on the PCB.

[0042] Each drill bit 10 is provided with a cutting edge 11 at the connection point with the drilling tool 9 to remove burrs from the chamfer of the borehole opening.

[0043] The connection between the drill bit 10 and the drilling tool 9 is a conical surface circumferentially arranged along the drill bit 10. At the same time, a spiral groove that smoothly communicates with the chip removal groove of the drill bit 10 is opened along the circumferential direction of the connection between the drill bit 10 and the drilling tool 9. The groove extends to the drilling tool 9. A cutting edge 11 that matches the chamfer of the drill hole opening is fixedly arranged at the intersection of the groove and the conical surface. The cutting edge 11 protrudes outward from the groove.

[0044] The following description uses one drill bit 10 as an example. Another drill bit 10 is the same as it and is symmetrically arranged about the machining position.

[0045] A chip suction tube 8 is fitted around the drill bit 10, and a fixing ring 12 is fixedly fitted around the chip suction tube 8. The fixing ring 12 is fixed to a sliding frame 13, which is slidably mounted inside the machining center 1. A power source is installed inside the machining center 1 to drive the sliding frame 13 to slide vertically up and down. This power source can be an existing pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] A sealing disc 17 is coaxially fixed at both ends of the debris suction tube 8, and both sealing discs 17 close the ends of the debris suction tube 8. The sealing disc 17 near the spindle chuck is fitted onto the drilling tool 9; the drilling tool 9 is cylindrical and is both rotatably and slidably fitted with the sealing disc 17.

[0047] The drill bit 10 is located inside the chip suction tube 8. A through hole 18 is made on the sealing circular plate 17 away from the spindle chuck, which is directly opposite to the drill bit 10, so that the drill bit 10 can pass through the chip suction tube 8.

[0048] The perforation 18 is a circular hole with a diameter greater than the maximum outer diameter of the drill bit 10 and also greater than the vertical distance between the end of the cutting edge 11 that is radially away from the drill bit 10 and the central axis of the drill bit 10, that is, the cutting edge 11 passes through the perforation 18.

[0049] A horizontal support shaft 21 is rotatably mounted inside the debris suction tube 8, and the support shaft 21 is spatially perpendicular to the drill bit 10. A drive component is mounted on the sealing circular plate 17 away from the spindle chuck. The drive component is used to drive the support shaft 21 to rotate, and also to drive the support shaft 21 to move closer to or away from the hole 18.

[0050] Specifically, the drive unit includes two electric push rods 19, both of which are fixedly mounted on the sealing circular plate 17 away from the spindle chuck and are located inside the debris suction tube 8. The perforation 18 is located between the two electric push rods 19.

[0051] Two slides 20 are provided inside the debris suction tube 8, and the two slides 20 are slidably connected to the sealing circular plate 17 away from the main shaft chuck. The support shaft 21 passes through the two slides 20 and is rotatably connected to the two slides 20.

[0052] Two electric actuators 19 correspond one-to-one with two slides 20, and the telescopic shaft of each electric actuator 19 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slide 20. The two electric actuators 19 are electrically synchronized, and their telescopic shafts are parallel to each other and extend and retract in the same direction. The telescopic shafts of the two electric actuators 19 are spatially perpendicular to the support shaft 21.

[0053] Two push plates 23 with waist-shaped holes 24 are fixed radially at both axial ends of the support shaft 21. The two push plates 23 and the support shaft 21 together form a U-shaped structure. Two clearance grooves are opened on the sealing circular plate 17 away from the spindle chuck. The openings of the two clearance grooves face upward and are connected to the inside of the debris suction pipe 8.

[0054] Two clearance slots correspond one-to-one with two push plates 23, and each clearance slot is used for the rotation clearance of the corresponding push plate 23. A fixed shaft 25 parallel to the support shaft 21 is fixed in each clearance slot, and the two fixed shafts 25 are coaxially opposed. The two push plates 23 correspond to the fixed shafts 25 in their respective clearance slots, and each fixed shaft 25 is inserted into the oblong hole 24 of the corresponding push plate 23 and engages in abutment and transmission with the corresponding push plate 23.

[0055] A mounting plate 22, which is a right-angled plate, is fixedly mounted on the support shaft 21. One right-angled side of the plate is radially connected to the support shaft 21, and this plate is parallel to the support shaft 21. The other right-angled side of the plate is parallel to the support shaft 21, and a debris cleaning tube 26, which is always spatially perpendicular to the support shaft 21, is fixedly mounted on this plate. The debris cleaning tube 26 communicates with a perforation 18, the diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the debris cleaning tube 26.

[0056] A cleaning spring 31 for cleaning the inner wall of the drill hole is coaxially installed inside the debris cleaning tube 26.

[0057] A power mechanism is installed on the mounting plate 22. The power mechanism is used to drive the cleaning spring 31 to extend and retract axially along the debris cleaning tube 26.

[0058] Specifically, the power mechanism includes a movable circular plate 28, which is coaxially disposed within the debris cleaning tube 26. A plurality of guide grooves 27 are axially formed on the inner wall of the debris cleaning tube 26, and these guide grooves 27 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the tube. A plurality of limiting sliders 33 are fixedly disposed at the circumferential ends of the movable circular plate 28, each limiting slider 33 corresponding one-to-one with a guide groove 27. Each limiting slider 33 is located within its corresponding guide groove 27 and engages in a limiting sliding fit with the corresponding guide groove 27.

[0059] The end of the cleaning spring 31 near the mounting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the movable circular plate 28. An electromagnet 29 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 22, and a magnet 30 is fixed to the end of the movable circular plate 28 away from the cleaning spring 31. The magnet 30 and the electromagnet 29 are magnetically attracted or magnetically repelled.

[0060] A counterweight slider 32 is fixed to the end of the cleaning spring 31 furthest from the mounting plate 22, and the counterweight slider 32 is located inside the cleaning spring 31. A telescopic stabilizing rod 34 is provided between the counterweight slider 32 and the movable circular plate 28, arranged axially along the debris cleaning tube 26. The telescopic end of the telescopic stabilizing rod 34 is fixedly connected to the movable circular plate 28, and the non-telescopic end of the telescopic stabilizing rod 34 is fixedly connected to the counterweight slider 32. The telescopic stabilizing rod 34 is used to prevent the counterweight slider 32 from shaking irregularly.

[0061] Both debris suction pipes 8 are radially connected to connecting pipes 14. Each connecting pipe 14 is externally connected to a suction pipe, and both suction pipes are externally connected to the suction port of an industrial vacuum cleaner fixedly installed on the machining center 1. The upper suction pipe is called the upper suction pipe 15, and the lower suction pipe is called the lower suction pipe 16.

[0062] Working principle: The operator inputs relevant parameters of the PCB board to be processed in vector XY format through the control panel 3, including rivet position coordinates, hole diameter specifications, drilling depth, and chamfer parameters. After receiving the parameters, the control system automatically calculates the precise coordinates that the drilling tool 9 needs to move, based on the installation positions of the top single-axis drilling module 6 and the bottom single-axis drilling module 7. At the same time, it sets the rotation speed of the drill bit 10, the spindle feed rate, the working frequency of the electromagnet 29, and the suction level of the industrial vacuum cleaner, providing accurate data support for subsequent processing.

[0063] The PCB board to be processed is placed from the inlet frame 2 onto the inlet conveyor 4, and the inlet conveyor 4 is activated to transport the PCB board to the processing position.

[0064] During the transport process, the existing servo-driven positioning device in machining center 1 performs initial positioning of the PCB board and corrects the placement posture of the PCB board.

[0065] When the PCB board reaches the processing position, the CCD vision inspection system in processing center 1, in conjunction with the UVW alignment platform, precisely positions the PCB board, ensuring that the rivet positions on the PCB board are accurately aligned with the axes of the drilling tools 9 of the top single-axis drilling module 6 and the bottom single-axis drilling module 7. The PCB board is then fixed in the processing position, awaiting processing. The CCD vision inspection system, UVW alignment platform, and servo-driven positioning device mentioned above are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0066] Next, the sliding frames 13 on both sides of the processing position are driven by the power source in the processing center 1 to move the top and bottom debris suction tubes 8 vertically, so that the sealing round plates 17 at both ends of the debris suction tubes 8, away from the spindle chuck, are tightly attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the PCB board, thus achieving isolation and sealing between the drilling area and the outside world.

[0067] After sealing is completed, the industrial vacuum cleaner is started, and a negative pressure channel is established between the upper suction pipe 15 and the lower suction pipe 16 and the connecting pipe 14 on the debris suction pipe 8, in preparation for collecting processing debris.

[0068] The spindle chuck of the bottom single-axis drilling module 7 drives the drilling tool 9 to rotate at high speed. The drill bit 10 located below feeds upward, so that the drill bit 10 at the end of the drilling tool 9 contacts the lower surface of the PCB board, cuts the copper foil of the outer layer of the bottom of the PCB, and initially breaks the bottom fixing structure of the rivet.

[0069] After the bottom drill bit 10 completes the copper foil cutting, the drill bit 10 located below retracts downward to the initial position; then the spindle chuck of the top single-axis drill module 6 drives the drilling tool 9 to rotate at high speed, and the drill bit 10 located above feeds downward. The drill bit 10 drills through the PCB board and directly cuts the rivet, completely removing the rivet from the PCB board and forming a preliminary drill hole.

[0070] The drill bit 10 located above continues to feed, so that the cutting edge 11 at the connection between the drilling tool 9 and the drill bit 10 contacts the edge of the drill hole on the upper surface of the PCB board. The chamfering and deburring of the upper surface drill hole is achieved by the rotating cutting of the cutting edge 11.

[0071] After the upper surface is chamfered, the upper drill bit 10 is withdrawn upwards by a certain distance, and the lower drill bit 10 is fed upwards again. The cutting edge 11 on the bottom drilling tool 9 contacts the drilling edge on the lower surface of the PCB board, completing the chamfering and deburring of the lower surface drilling, realizing the integrated processing of drilling, deriving, and bidirectional chamfering and deburring.

[0072] After the bidirectional chamfering and deburring are completed, the upper drill bit 10 and the lower drill bit 10 respectively drive the top and bottom drilling tools 9 to move away in the opposite direction. The drill bit 10 and the cutting edge 11 retract into the debris suction tube 8 and move away from the drilling hole on the PCB board.

[0073] Afterwards, the drive unit is activated, and the two electric push rods 19 extend and retract synchronously, driving the corresponding slide 20 to slide inside the debris suction tube 8. The slide 20 drives the support shaft 21 to move axially. At the same time, the push plates 23 at both ends of the support shaft 21 slide with the fixed shaft 25 through the waist-shaped hole 24, driving the support shaft 21 to rotate around its own axis, thereby driving the mounting plate 22 on the support shaft 21 and the debris cleaning tube 26 to rotate synchronously, so that the axis of the debris cleaning tube 26 is precisely aligned with the drilling axis on the PCB board.

[0074] Next, the electromagnet 29 on the mounting plate 22 is energized, and through the magnetic repulsion force generated by the magnet 30 on the movable circular plate 28, the movable circular plate 28 is pushed to move axially along the debris cleaning tube 26; thereby driving the cleaning spring 31 fixed to the movable circular plate 28 to move axially along the debris cleaning tube 26 and reciprocate after the limiting slider 33 on the movable circular plate 28 collides with the bottom end of the debris cleaning tube 26. During this process, the cleaning spring 31 carries the counterweight slider 32 at its end through the inside of the drill hole.

[0075] During the extension and retraction process, the cleaning spring 31 fully contacts the inner wall of the drill hole to clean up residual debris; at the same time, the counterweight slider 32 enhances the vibration of the cleaning spring 31 during the extension and retraction process, shaking off the debris trapped on the cleaning spring 31; the shaken-off debris and the cleaned debris are sucked into the industrial vacuum cleaner through the negative pressure environment of the debris suction pipe 8 and the connecting pipe 14 by the upper suction pipe 15 or the lower suction pipe 16, realizing the real-time collection of debris;

[0076] It should be noted that all cleaning springs 32 extend and contract within their elastic limits.

[0077] After cleaning is completed, the electromagnet 29 reverses its magnetic poles and generates a magnetic attraction force with the magnet 30, pulling the moving circular plate 28 to move in the opposite direction along the debris cleaning tube 26 to reset. The cleaning spring 31 retracts into the debris cleaning tube 26. Then, the electric push rod 19 extends and retracts in the opposite direction, driving the support shaft 21 to rotate in the opposite direction. The debris cleaning tube 26 leaves the drilling area and returns to its initial position.

[0078] It should be noted that the two electromagnets 29 operate in opposite ways; one attracts the corresponding magnet 30, while the other repels it. Meanwhile, each cleaning spring 31 is wrapped with a matching cleaning cloth or cleaning rubber strip.

[0079] After the cleaning process is completed, the outlet conveyor 5 is activated to transport the processed PCB board from the processing position to the outlet frame, realizing automatic unloading;

[0080] During the unloading process, the PCB board is transferred to the subsequent process, and at the same time, the inlet conveyor 4 is started to transport the next PCB board to be processed to the processing position and enter the next processing cycle.

[0081] Throughout the drilling, chamfering, and cleaning process, the sealing plate 17 of the debris suction tube 8 remains in close contact with the PCB board surface, ensuring continuous operation of the industrial vacuum cleaner, improving the debris removal effect, preventing debris residue, and guaranteeing product quality.

[0082] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
