Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of PCB manufacturing equipment technology, and more specifically, to an automated lamination and hot-melt equipment for PCBs. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of PCB (printed circuit board), there is a process called pre-stacking. Its purpose is to align each core board and PP (prepreg) of the multilayer board and then fix them in place by heat fusion. This way, there will be no misalignment problem during lamination.
[0003] Because PCBs consist of multiple layers, the stacking of core boards and PP sheets is repeatedly required during production to obtain the desired PCPCP structure (where P stands for PP and C for core board). Currently, the method used is to separate PP sheets and core boards of different stacking positions and specifications before stacking, and employees take them out in sequence to avoid problems such as over- or under-stacking or misplacement. This operation method heavily relies on the work skills and attitude of employees to avoid PP sheet or core board stacking errors, and cannot completely prevent abnormal situations. In actual production, problems of misplacement or under-stacking have occurred many times. To prevent abnormal hot-melt finished products from entering the market due to stacking errors, an additional person is needed to count the number of PP sheets stacked on each board to ensure that the quantity and position of PP sheets are correct. However, this method is inefficient, slow, and has high labor costs, making it difficult to meet production needs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides an automated lamination and hot-melt equipment for PCBs, which solves the problems of existing methods that require multiple independent devices, are difficult to connect, have weak adaptability, occupy a large space, and limit the turnover speed.

[0083] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0084] The technical solutions of this application and their effects are described below through several exemplary embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed from, or combined with each other. Identical terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.
[0085] The automated hot-melt lamination equipment for PCBs provided in this application aims to solve at least one technical problem existing in the prior art.
[0086] Optionally, such as Figures 1-37As shown, the automated lamination and hot-melt equipment for PCBs of this application includes: a transfer module 2, used to move the core board or first pre-stack assembly to be hot-melted to a hot-melt module 3 to form a second pre-stack assembly, wherein the first and second pre-stack assemblies include core boards and PP (prepreg) stacked sequentially; a hot-melt module 3, used for CCD positioning of the second pre-stack assembly and hot-melting the CCD-positioned second pre-stack assembly to form a hot-melt finished product; and a receiving module, located on the discharge side of the hot-melt module 3, used to receive and stack the hot-melt finished products. This automated lamination and hot-melt equipment achieves the stacking of core boards and PP to obtain the second pre-stack assembly corresponding to the PCB, and automatically performs hot-melt treatment on the second pre-stack assembly after stacking, thereby obtaining a hot-melt finished product (such as a PCB board). It can achieve integrated hot-melt lamination, and the fusion of lamination and hot-melt eliminates errors from manual loading and unloading, improving overall process stability.
[0087] Optionally, the first pre-stacked assembly can be a CP structure (i.e., the core board is stacked on the PP), or it can be a structure formed by stacking two or more core boards and PP in sequence. The second pre-stacked assembly can be a CPC structure or other structures of the PCB to be produced, which are not limited here.
[0088] Optionally, in order to achieve automatic feeding, the stacking hot melt automated equipment also includes a feeding module 1 equipped with a first feeding component and a second feeding component. The first feeding component is located on the side of the transfer module 2 away from the hot melt module 3. The first feeding component is used to perform CCD correction on the core board and transfer the core board that has passed the CCD correction to the transfer module 2. The second feeding component is used to transfer the PP to the transfer module 2 to stack with the core board in the transfer module 2 to form a first pre-stacked combination.
[0089] Optionally, after the first feeding component transfers the core board to the transfer module 2, the transfer module 2 can move it to the hot melt module 3 so that the hot melt module 3 can perform calibration on it. Alternatively, when it is determined that the hot melt module 3 is currently performing CCD calibration on the core board or that the core board is the core board in the first pre-stack assembly (which can be determined based on the recorded transfer information of the core board and the first pre-stack assembly), the transfer of the core board can be stopped, and the second feeding component can be used to transfer the PP. After the PP is combined with the core board to obtain the first pre-stack assembly, the first pre-stack assembly is transferred to the hot melt module 3.
[0090] Optionally, the first feeding assembly includes a first feeding platform 11, a first transfer mechanism 12, and a first calibration platform 13. The first feeding platform 11 is disposed on both sides of the first calibration platform 13, and the first transfer mechanism 12 is disposed above the first feeding platform 11 and the first calibration platform 13. The first feeding platform 11 is used to place the core board and lift the core board to be transferred to a height corresponding to the first transfer mechanism 12. The first calibration platform 13 is used to perform CCD calibration on the core board. The first transfer mechanism 12 is used to move the core board from the first feeding platform 11 to the first calibration platform 13 and to move the core board that has passed CCD calibration to the transfer module 2.
[0091] Optionally, to facilitate the placement of core boards that have failed calibration, the first feeding assembly may further include a waste placement platform 14, which is located on one side of the first calibration platform 13. After the automated lamination and hot-melt equipment determines that the core board has failed CCD calibration (i.e., is unqualified) through the first calibration platform 13, it uses the first transfer mechanism 12 to place the core board into the waste placement platform 14.
[0092] In one embodiment, the waste placement platform 14 is disposed on the side of the first calibration platform 13 near the transfer module 2. The first feeding assembly may include a first feeding bracket, and the first feeding platform 11, the first transfer mechanism 12, and the first calibration platform 13 are disposed within the first feeding bracket. Furthermore, the waste placement platform 14 and the core board outlet are recessed on the side of the first feeding bracket near the transfer module 2. The core board outlet is located above the waste placement platform 14, and the height of the waste placement platform 14 is lower than the height of the first calibration platform 13.
[0093] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first calibration table 13 may include a first calibration bracket 131, a first base 132, and a first detection camera 133. The first detection camera 133 is disposed above the first base 132, and the top of the first detection camera 133 is fixedly connected to the top of the first feeding bracket. The core board on the first feeding table 11 is moved to the first calibration table 13 by the first transfer mechanism 12. The detection range of the first detection camera 133 covers the core board on the first base 132. Figure 5 The conical structure below the first inspection camera 133 is a schematic diagram of the camera's detection range. The image captured by this inspection camera is used to perform CCD correction on the core board (such as obtaining the core board's coordinates and checking its qualification). The first mounting base 132 is fixed to the top of the first correction bracket 131. Furthermore, to effectively fix the core board on the first mounting base 132, a vacuum pipe is provided inside the first bracket 333. The top of this vacuum pipe is connected to the first mounting base 132 to create a vacuum between the core board and the first mounting base 132, thereby adsorbing the core board for CCD correction.
[0094] In one embodiment, the number of first detection cameras 133 can be two. The first feeding bracket includes a first detection bracket and a top support beam. The top support beam is disposed on the top of the first feeding bracket. The top of the first detection bracket is fixedly connected to the top support beam, and the bottom is fixedly connected to the two first detection cameras 133.
[0095] Optionally, the structures of the two first loading platforms 11 on both sides of the first calibration platform 13 can be the same or different. The first loading platform 11 may include a material seat 113, a first lifting bracket 114, and a lifting bracket 112. The lifting bracket 112 is movably fixed to the first lifting bracket 114 and moves up and down along the first lifting bracket 114. The material seat 113 is located below the lifting bracket 112 and is used to support the stacked core boards. The lifting bracket 112 is used to lift the core board to be calibrated on the material seat 113 to a height corresponding to the first transfer mechanism 12. The first transfer mechanism 12 includes a first sub-transfer unit 121 and a second sub-transfer unit 122. The moving direction of the first sub-transfer unit 121 is parallel to the layout direction of the first loading platform 11, and it is used to transfer the core board on the lifting bracket 112 to the first calibration platform 13. The moving direction of the second sub-transfer unit 122 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the first sub-transfer unit 121, and it is used to transfer the core board on the first calibration platform 13 to the transfer module 2.
[0096] Optionally, the material holder 113 may include a first material platform 1131 and a first lifting bracket. The first lifting bracket may include a first lifting support rod 1133 and a first lifting seat 1134. The first lifting support rod 1133 is disposed on both sides of the first material platform 1131, and a floating disk 1135 is provided on the side of the first lifting support rod 1133 that is close to each other. The same end of the first lifting support rod 1133 is fixedly connected to the first lifting seat 1134. The first lifting seat 1134 is movably fixed on the first lifting bracket 114. The first material platform 1131 is used to place stacked core boards. A notch is provided in the area where the lifting position of the first material platform 1131 and the floating disk 1135 are opposite to avoid affecting the lifting of the first lifting bracket. When it is necessary to lift the core board, the core board on the first material platform 1131 can be lifted by the floating disk 1135 on the first lifting bracket.
[0097] Optionally, to facilitate the loading and unloading of core boards by operators, the bottom of the first material platform 1131 may be equipped with first rollers 1132, and a channel for the floating plate 1135 to move is provided between the bottom and top surfaces of the first material platform 1131. Furthermore, a first upright plate and a first handle may be provided on one side of the first material platform 1131, with the first handle fixed to the top of the first upright plate. When it is necessary to load or unload the core board, the first rollers 1132 and the first handle are used to move the first material platform 1131 out of the first loading bracket.
[0098] In one embodiment, to prevent the stacked core boards from tilting, the first loading platform 11 further includes a side-push alignment mechanism, which is positioned opposite the first loading bracket and the material seat 113. The side-push alignment mechanism may include a first side-push unit 115 and a second side-push unit 116. The side of the first side-push unit 115 is fixed to the first loading bracket, and the bottom of the second side-push unit 116 is fixed to the first loading bracket. Furthermore, the first side-push unit 115 and the second side-push unit 116 are equipped with a first side-push cylinder 1151 and a first side-push plate 1152, with the drive end of the first side-push cylinder 1151 connected to the first side-push plate 1152. The first side-push cylinder 1151 of the first side-push unit 115 and the second side-push unit 116 drives the first side-push plate 1152 to simultaneously abut against the core boards, preventing the stacked core boards from tilting.
[0099] Optionally, the lifting bracket 112 may include a bracket frame 1121 and a bracket seat 1122. The bracket seat 1122 is movably fixed to the first lifting bracket 114 and fixedly connected to the bracket frame 1121. A space for accommodating the core board is formed in the middle of the bracket frame 1121. A second side-push cylinder and a second side-push plate are provided on both sides of this space. The second side-push cylinder is fixed to both sides of the bracket frame 1121, and its driving end extends into the space. The second side-push plate is fixedly connected to the driving end of the second side-push cylinder. A first clamping part is provided at the bottom of the second side-push plate. This first clamping part extends towards the middle of the space and has a stop plate perpendicular to the extending direction. After the second side-push cylinder pushes the second side-push plate close to the core board on the material seat 113, the first clamping part clamps a single core board.
[0100] Optionally, the first lifting bracket 114 may include a lifting shaft 1142 and a first lifting driver 1141. The first lifting driver 1141 may be disposed at both ends of the lifting shaft 1142 to drive the lifting shaft 1142 to rotate. The lifting shaft 1142 may be a lead screw, and the bracket seat 1122 and the first lifting seat 1134 may be rotatably fixed to the lead screw.

[0153] The following describes the automated hot-melt equipment of this application through its working process.
[0154] In one embodiment, the production process of the hot melt product includes:
[0155] ① Core board calibration and diversion: The core board placed on the first loading platform 11 is picked up by the first transfer mechanism and transferred to the first calibration platform 13 to complete the CCD positioning detection. The calibrated core board enters the material placement platform 21 (i.e., pre-stacked position) to wait for its turn. If an abnormality is detected (such as multiple pieces being picked up, positioning error, etc.), it is automatically diverted to the NG station (waste placement platform 14) to avoid affecting the subsequent process.
[0156] ② Pre-stack assembly preparation: The first core board in the pre-stack is transferred by the transfer module to the precision positioning unit 32 of the hot melt module 3 to complete the second high-precision calibration; simultaneously, the PP is picked up by the second feeding component and transferred to the material placement table 21 to wait for the second core board (the first and second core boards here are only used to distinguish different core boards and have no special meaning) to complete the processing according to the same process (CCD calibration → qualified entry into the pre-stack) and then accurately stacked with the PP to form the CP assembly.
[0157] ③ CPC Structure Forming and Dual-Station Hot Melting: The material moving component of the transfer module clamps the CPC assembly and transfers it to the precision positioning unit 32 of the hot melt machine 33, where it is stacked with the calibrated first core board to form a CPC structure. After the positioning is confirmed to be stable by the CCD detection of the precision positioning unit 32, the CPC product to be hot melted enters the station of one hot melt machine 33 for curing. At the same time, the newly assembled CPC product enters the station of the other hot melt machine 33. Through the dual-station parallel hot melting design, the processing efficiency is greatly improved.
[0158] ④ Post-heat melting and unit stacking: The CPC structure after heat melting is transferred from the discharge mechanism 4 to the receiving assembly 5. After being picked up by the second transfer mechanism of the receiving assembly 5, it is placed on the first sub-receiving platform 54. For each heat-melted finished product placed, an empty tray is simultaneously transferred from above the first receiving platform to cover it, forming a unit stack of "finished product + tray". When the unit stack on the first receiving platform reaches the preset number (full material), the entire stack of units is moved out by a trolley, completing the receiving process.
[0159] In another embodiment, the workflow of the automated lamination and hot melt equipment includes:
[0160] ① Manual loading and core board calibration in parallel: The operator manually loads the core board at the pre-stacking position: First, a core board is placed, and the transfer module picks it up and transfers it to the precision positioning unit 32 of the hot melt module 3 to complete the automated CCD calibration; During this period, the pre-stacking position simultaneously performs manual stacking operations (such as stacking CP combinations according to process requirements), reducing process waiting time through human-machine collaboration.
[0161] ② Automated transfer and correction of manually stacked structures: The manually completed CP assembly (or multi-layer structure) is transferred from the transfer module 2 to the hot melt module 3. According to the structure type (CPC or multi-layer), it enters the corresponding position of the precision positioning unit 32. The CCD vision system of the precision positioning unit 32 completes automated high-precision correction to ensure the alignment accuracy between layers and adapt to the stacking requirements of various sheet materials.
[0162] ③Dual-station parallel hot melt improves efficiency: The qualified products to be hot melted enter the station of one hot melt machine 33 for curing; at the same time, the new products after manual stacking and automatic correction enter the station of another hot melt machine 33. Through the parallel operation of dual stations, production efficiency is guaranteed while retaining the flexibility of manual operation space.
[0163] ④ Receiving position linkage and paper protection: The hot-melt finished products are transferred from the discharge mechanism 4 to the receiving assembly 5. At this time, the second sub-receiving platform 55 is automatically activated; the fourth sub-transfer unit 53 of the second transfer mechanism accurately places the products on the second sub-receiving platform 55, and then clamps the paper and transfers it to cover the products (to avoid scratching damage between the boards); the operation is repeated until the second sub-receiving platform 55 reaches the preset full quantity, and the whole pile of products is removed to complete the receiving process.
[0164] The automated lamination and hot-melt equipment for PCBs disclosed in this application has the following advantages:
[0165] ① High-precision material calibration: CCD calibration is used to visually calibrate the core board and PP board to ensure the accuracy of pre-stacking.
[0166] ② Precise interlayer assembly: The calibrated core board and PP are stacked according to the pre-stacked sequence to form a stable intermediate structure, avoiding interlayer bubbles or poor bonding caused by misalignment during subsequent hot melting.
[0167] ③ Dual-station CCD correction function for hot melt: Ensures hot melt accuracy, and the dual-station parallel hot melt design greatly improves processing efficiency.
[0168] ④ Automated material unloading and collection function: The finished products after hot melting are transferred to the collection component 5, which can achieve neat stacking of finished products; and can be linked with AGV to realize automatic transfer of finished products, achieving seamless connection between collection and transfer.
