Manually peeling off the copper foil is laborious and inefficient. This mechanical peeling can easily cause warping, stretching, or damage to the core board, affecting its subsequent use. Using chemical etching agents requires the disposal of waste liquid, impacting the working environment. Application content

Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device for tearing open the protective copper foil on both sides of the circuit board core includes: equipment frame 1, first suction cup panel module 2, second suction cup panel module 3, industrial robot 4, laser module 5, and two sets of tearing structures 6.
[0019] The equipment frame 1 can be constructed from profiles and sheet metal. The remaining first suction cup panel module 2, second suction cup panel module 3, industrial robot 4, laser module 5, and two sets of tearing structures 6 are all located within the space enclosed by the equipment frame 1. For ease of illustration, only a portion of the equipment frame 1 is shown.
[0020] The equipment frame 1 is designed with a material handling area 1A and a working area 1B arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction.
[0021] The material handling area 1A has a material handling position 1A1 and a material handling position 1A2 arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, both the material handling position 1A1 and the material handling position 1A2 can be equipped with a material box 7. Core boards with the copper foil still intact are stacked and placed in the material box 7 of the material handling position 1A1, and core boards with the copper foil torn are stacked and placed in the material box 7 of the material handling position 1A2.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 10In some embodiments, based on the fact that both the material picking position 1A1 and the material discharging position 1A2 are equipped with material boxes 7, the four vertical side walls of the material box 7 are all slidably and fixedly connected with limit baffles 7A along the normal direction.
[0023] More specifically, the limiting baffle 7A can be fixedly connected to a set of guide posts 7A1. The vertical side wall of the material box 7 has holes for the guide posts 7A1 to pass through, thereby realizing the movement of the baffle relative to the guide posts 7A1. The baffle also has a T-slot, in which a stud 7A2 is inserted. The vertical side wall of the material box 7 is fixedly connected to a nut that matches the stud 7A2. Manually rotating the stud 7A2 moves the side plate. When the rotation of the stud 7A2 is stopped, the side plate is fixed in the current position relative to the material box 7.
[0024] The four limiting baffles 7A can both ensure that the core boards are stacked neatly and determine their positions, making it easier to coordinate with the industrial robot 4.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working area 1B has a front tear-off position 1B1 and a back tear-off position 1B2 arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. That is, the copper foil on both sides of the core board is torn off at the front tear-off position 1B1 and the back tear-off position 1B2 respectively.
[0026] The first suction cup panel module 2 includes: a suction cup panel 21 and a linear drive mechanism 22.
[0027] The suction cup panel 21 is a vertical panel combined with a vacuum suction cup, which allows the core board to be adsorbed and fixed on the panel. The suction cup panel is existing technology, and the attached figure is a simplified illustration. The suction cup panel 21 fixes the core board in a diamond shape, that is, the four corners of the suction cup panel 21 face the top and bottom sides and the horizontal sides respectively. From the vertical direction, the suction cup panel 21 is diamond-shaped.
[0028] The suction cup panel 21 moves between the front tear-off position 1B1 and the back tear-off position 1B2, that is, the linear drive mechanism 22 drives the suction cup panel 21 to move back and forth linearly. The linear drive mechanism 22 has a relatively large stroke and can be a synchronous belt linear module. The linear module is existing technology, and the attached figure is a simplified illustration.
[0029] The structure of the second suction cup panel module 3 is the same as that of the first suction cup panel module 2, including: suction cup panel 2 31 and linear drive mechanism 2 32.
[0030] Since the core board needs to be transferred from suction cup panel 1 21 to suction cup panel 2 31, suction cup panel 2 31 is also used to fix the core board in a diamond shape. Suction cup panel 1 21 is for the core board to contact from the front, while suction cup panel 2 31 is for the core board to contact from the back. The size of suction cup panel 2 31 can be the same as that of suction cup panel 1 21.
[0031] The second suction cup panel 31 moves between the back tear-off position 1B2 and the feeding position 1A2, i.e., it is driven back and forth linearly by the second linear drive mechanism 32. The second linear drive mechanism 32 has a relatively large stroke and can be a synchronous belt type linear module. When both the first suction cup panel 21 and the second suction cup panel 31 are at the back tear-off position 1B2, they overlap vertically.
[0032] The industrial robot 4 is existing technology, and the attached diagram is a simplified illustration. The industrial robot 4 has a vacuum suction cup module 4A, that is, a vacuum suction cup module 4A is installed at the wrist position of the industrial robot 4, and the core board is picked up by the vacuum suction cup module 4A.
[0033] The base of the industrial robot 4 is mounted on the equipment frame 1. The movement trajectory of the vacuum suction cup module 4A can cover the material handling area 1A and the working area 1B. The material handling trajectory of the industrial robot 4 is from the material handling position 1A2 to the suction cup panel 21 corresponding to the front tearing position 1B1. The material handling trajectory of the industrial robot 4 is from the suction cup panel 31 corresponding to the material handling position 1A2 to the material handling position 1A2.
[0034] In other words, the process of tearing the copper foil from both sides of the core board is as follows: S1, Industrial robot 4 transfers the core board at the top of the picking position 1A1 to the suction cup panel 21 of the front tearing position 1B1; S2. At the tear-off position 1B1 on the front side, tear off the copper foil on the front side of the core board; S3. The suction cup panel 1 21 moves the core board to the back tear-off position 1B2 and transfers the core board to the suction cup panel 2 31 at the back tear-off position 1B2. S4. Tear off the copper foil on the back of the core board at the tear-off position 1B2. S5. The suction cup panel 2 31 moves with the core board to the feeding position 1A2. The industrial robot 4 transfers the core board of the suction cup panel 2 31 to the feeding position 1A2 for stacking.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The laser module 5 corresponds to the feeding trajectory. After the industrial robot 4 takes out the core board at the top of the picking position 1A1, it first moves the upper corner of the core board into the laser module 5, and then transfers the core board to the suction cup panel 21.
[0036] Laser module 5 is used to stimulate a corner of the core board, causing the adhesion between this corner of the copper foil and the core board to fail. Specifically, a laser of a suitable wavelength (e.g., ultraviolet laser) is used, allowing the laser to penetrate the copper foil but be strongly absorbed by the intermediate adhesive layer. The process is as follows: 1. Energy absorption: The laser is focused on the adhesive layer between the copper foil and the substrate; 2. Adhesive decomposition: After absorbing the laser energy, the adhesive rapidly pyrolyzes, vaporizes, or carbonizes, losing its adhesiveness; 3. Separation: The resulting minute gas expands or the adhesive fails, causing the corner of the copper foil stimulated to separate from the core board. More specifically, there can be two laser modules 5, each targeting one side of the core board.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 For the two sets of tearing structures 6: one set of tearing structures 6 is set at the front tearing position 1B1. When the suction cup panel 1 21 is at the front tearing position 1B1, the copper foil on the front of the core board of the suction cup panel 1 21 is torn by this set of tearing structures 6; the other set of tearing structures 6 is set at the back tearing position 1B2. When the suction cup panel 2 31 is at the back tearing position 1B2, the copper foil on the back of the core board of the suction cup panel 2 31 is torn by this set of tearing structures 6.
[0038] The two sets of tearing structures 6 can be the same. Taking one set of tearing structures 6 as an example, a pneumatic gripper and a drive mechanism that drives the pneumatic gripper to form a tearing motion trajectory can be used. First, the pneumatic gripper clamps the lifted copper foil, and then drives the pneumatic gripper to move and tear off the copper foil.
[0039] In some embodiments, the tearing structure 6 may also be designed to include: a first pneumatic gripper module 61 and a roller module 62.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first gripper module 61 is used to lift the copper foil at the upper corner of the core board on the suction cup panel 21. That is, the gripper 611 is movable. After the gripper 611 clamps the part of the copper foil that is separated from the core board, the gripper 611 moves away from the core board, so that the upper corner of the copper foil is lifted.
[0041] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The winding roller 621 of the winding roller module 62 moves up and down relative to the equipment frame 1. When the winding roller 621 is in the upper limit position, it is used to fix the copper foil that has been lifted by the first pneumatic gripper module 61. Process: First, the first pneumatic gripper module 61 lifts the copper foil in one corner above the core board; then the winding roller 621 moves from the lower limit position to the upper limit position, and the upper roller surface of the winding roller 621 comes into contact with the lifted copper foil. The contact position is between the pneumatic gripper 611 and the core board; then the winding roller 621 fixes the contacting copper foil, and the pneumatic gripper 611 releases the copper foil; finally, the winding roller 621 moves down and rotates at the same time, winding the copper foil onto the winding roller 621 and tearing the copper foil off the core board.
[0042] Compared to using pneumatic grippers to directly tear copper foil from the core board, adding a winding roller 621 to wind the copper foil and tear it from the core board has the following advantages: the copper foil is torn off more smoothly and stably; the torn copper foil is wound on the winding roller 621, making it smaller in size and easier to collect and process later.
[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in addition to the pneumatic gripper 611 described above, the first pneumatic gripper module 61 also includes: a first mounting part 612, a linear drive mechanism 613, and a cylinder 614.
[0044] The first mounting part 612 is slidably connected to the equipment frame 1. More specifically, the equipment frame 1 has a horizontal partition plate 1C above the first suction cup panel module 2 and the second suction cup panel module 3. An L-shaped first connecting plate 61A is fixedly connected to the top surface of the partition plate 1C. A linear guide is provided between the vertical plate of the first mounting part 612 and the first connecting plate 61A.
[0045] By moving the first mounting part 612 up and down, the first gripper module 61 can extend / retract from the plate. When the industrial robot 4 transfers the core plate to the suction cup panel 1 21, and the suction cup panel 1 21 transfers the core plate to the suction cup panel 2 31, the corresponding first gripper module 61 retracts to avoid interference.
[0046] The linear drive mechanism 613 drives the first mounting part 612 to move. The stroke of the linear drive mechanism 613 is relatively small. A cylinder can be used as the linear drive mechanism 613. More specifically, the cylinder body can be hinged to the horizontal plate of the first connecting plate 61A, and the piston rod can be hinged to the first mounting part 612.
[0047] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pneumatic gripper 611 is hinged to the first mounting part 612 around the transverse axis. The pneumatic gripper 611 can adopt a swing form with fulcrum opening and closing. More specifically, the first mounting part 612 can be hinged to a second connecting plate 61B, and the pneumatic gripper 611 can be fixedly connected to the side of the second connecting plate 61B opposite to the hinge position.
[0048] Cylinder 614 is used to drive the pneumatic gripper 611 to swing. More specifically, the cylinder body of cylinder 614 can be fixedly connected to the first mounting part 612; the second connecting plate 61B has a groove on the other side of the hinge position, and the piston rod of the cylinder cooperates with the groove to form a grooved pin pair 61C.
[0049] Please see Figure 7In some embodiments, a rack and pinion pair 62A is provided between the roller 621 and the equipment frame 1. The rack and pinion pair 62A is used to convert the up-and-down movement of the roller 621 relative to the equipment frame 1 into rotation of the roller 621 about its own axis.
[0050] More specifically, in addition to the aforementioned roller 621, the roller module 62 may further include: a second mounting portion 622 fixedly connected to the equipment frame 1; a linear drive mechanism 623 (using a linear module) disposed on the second mounting portion 622; and a third connecting plate 624 driven up and down by the linear drive mechanism 623 and rotatably connected to the roller 621. The roller 621 is fixedly equipped with a gear, and the second mounting portion 622 is fixedly connected with a rack, forming the aforementioned gear and rack pair 62A. The position of the rack relative to one side of the gear is designed so that during the downward movement of the third connecting plate 624, the rotation direction of the roller 621 corresponds to the winding of the copper foil.
[0051] While the roller 621 moves up and down, the rotation of the roller 621 can be achieved by using the gear and rack pair 62A. No additional power is needed to drive the roller 621 to rotate, making the structure simpler and more compact.
[0052] To fix the roller 621 in contact with the copper foil, vacuum adsorption can be used.
[0053] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the roller 621 is hollow, and its surface has a slit 621A communicating with the inner cavity of the roller 621. A slider 621B is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the roller 621, and a clamping strip 621C extending through the slit 621A is fixedly mounted on the slider 621B. The roller module 62 also includes a cylinder 621D for driving the slider 621B to move. Depending on the specific configuration of the roller module 62, the cylinder body of the cylinder 621D can be fixedly connected to the third connecting plate 624.
[0054] More specifically, the piston rod of cylinder 621D can be fixedly connected to an extension rod 621E, and the end of the extension rod 621E for sliding connection can be stepped; the slider 621B can be annular, and after the slider 621B is fitted into the end of the extension rod 621E, it is bolted to the end of the extension rod 621E to restrict the separation of the slider 621B; the extension rod 621E can drive the slider 621B to move axially, and the slider 621B and the extension rod 621E maintain relative rotation.
[0055] Because the core board is fixed in a diamond shape on the suction cup panel 21, the copper foil lifted by the first pneumatic gripper module 61 has a relatively small lateral dimension. The lifted copper foil contacts the middle position of the winding roller 621, leaving the two sides of the winding roller 621 temporarily empty, providing space for the clamping strip 621C. After the lifted copper foil contacts the middle position of the winding roller 621, the clamping strip 621C moves and engages with the roller surface to clamp the lifted copper foil.
[0056] Compared to vacuum adsorption, the clamping strip 621C makes the fixation between the copper foil and the roller 621 more stable and the structure is simpler.
[0057] Another consideration is how to remove the copper foil from the winding roller 621 after it has been wound onto the roller. The roller 621 can be designed to swing between a horizontal and a vertical position. Considering the specific configuration of the roller module 62, the third connecting plate 624 can be designed as follows: a first part connected to the linear drive mechanism 623, a second part hinged to the first part and connected to the roller 621 for rotation; and a cylinder for driving the second part to swing. In a horizontal position, the roller 621 winds up the copper foil; in a vertical position, the copper foil falls due to gravity.
[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in addition to the first pneumatic gripper module 61 and the winding roller module 62, the tearing structure 6 further includes a second pneumatic gripper module 63. The second pneumatic gripper module 63 corresponds to the winding roller 621 in the lower limit state and is used to remove the copper foil torn off from the winding roller 621. That is, the second pneumatic gripper module 63 includes: a second pneumatic gripper 631 and a third linear drive mechanism 632 that drives the second pneumatic gripper 631 to move. The third linear drive mechanism 632 has a relatively large stroke and can be a synchronous belt type linear module.
[0059] More specifically, because the core board is fixed in a diamond shape on the suction cup panel 21, the length of the roller 621 can be designed to achieve the following effect: after the upper corner of the copper foil is lifted by the first pneumatic gripper module 61, the roller 621 can contact the lifted copper foil. As the copper foil is wound onto the roller 621, a portion of the copper foil extends beyond the end of the roller 621, and the second pneumatic gripper 631 grabs this portion of the copper foil.
[0060] Compared to designing the roller 621 to swing between horizontal and vertical states, the second pneumatic gripper module 63 makes the separation of the copper foil and the roller 621 more stable.
[0061] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the second pneumatic gripper module 63's gripper 631 moves between the front tearing position 1B1 and the back tearing position 1B2; the two tearing structures 6 share one second pneumatic gripper module 63.
[0062] The principle of this application is to select a laser of a suitable wavelength that can penetrate the copper foil, but is strongly absorbed by the adhesive layer in the middle.
[0063] Specifically, follow these steps: 1. Energy absorption: The laser is focused on the adhesive layer between the copper foil and the substrate; 2. Adhesive decomposition: After absorbing laser energy, the adhesive rapidly pyrolyzes, vaporizes, or carbonizes, losing its adhesiveness; 3. Separation: The expansion of tiny gases or the failure of the adhesive causes the copper foil to be completely peeled off from the substrate.
[0064] Based on the above process, this application has minimal thermal impact on the copper foil and substrate, and the separation surface is clean, thereby achieving a high-precision patterned peeling effect.
[0065] Therefore, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. Non-contact and stress-free: Avoids warping, stretching, or damage caused by mechanical peeling; 2. High precision and controllability: It can achieve patterned separation with micron-level linewidth, which can be used for circuit repair or stripping of specific areas; 3. Clean and environmentally friendly: No chemical etching agents are required, and there are no waste liquid disposal issues; 4. High adaptability: It can handle irregularly shaped, flexible or brittle substrates.
