[0002] Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are playing an increasingly important role in cutting-edge fields such as consumer electronics and artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, the industry is seeing a trend of promoting end-to-end RTR (Reverse Transmission) process innovation across multiple product supply chains. The roll-to-roll production process of FPCs is a core technology, and its process equipment—the solder resist roll-to-roll direct imaging equipment (hereinafter referred to as "RTR equipment")—is its core equipment.

[0003] Existing RTR equipment cannot provide stable material feeding during the feeding or receiving process. Furthermore, it cannot stably connect two strips during receiving, nor can it stably connect two strips during cutting, and the cutting debris cannot be collected, affecting the cleanliness of the strips. Therefore, a new auxiliary mechanism for receiving materials needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

Two adsorption top plates with suction holes are installed side by side at intervals on the top of the adsorption chamber. The debris trough is installed in the middle of the top surface of the adsorption chamber and located below the adjacent gap between the two adsorption top plates. The material receiving lifting drive assemblies are installed at the four corners of the adsorption chamber. The two material receiving pressure members are installed on the corresponding side of the material receiving lifting drive assemblies. The material receiving pressure members are driven by the material receiving lifting drive assemblies to rise and fall relative to the adsorption top plates for pressing and positioning of materials.

[0006] Furthermore, the top surface of the adsorption chamber is provided with gas grooves, main gas holes, receiving groove mounting recesses, chamber mounting holes, and end mounting holes; the receiving groove mounting recesses are located in the middle of the top surface of the adsorption chamber, multiple gas grooves, main gas holes, and chamber mounting holes are located on both sides of the receiving groove mounting recesses, and the end mounting holes are located at both ends of the top surface of the adsorption chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, the debris trough includes a trough body, a handle, and a guide support, with the handle and guide support respectively located at both ends of the trough body.

[0008] The present invention also provides a roll-to-roll direct imaging device, the device including a loading station, an exposure station and a take-up station, the loading station and the take-up station using the aforementioned suction and positioning material receiving mechanism for auxiliary material receiving; the exposure station uses multi-coordinate fusion calibration and vector vector position compensation to correct the exposure positioning accuracy, thereby improving the exposure accuracy.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the suction and positioning material receiving mechanism of this application has a simple structure and is easy to implement. The suction top plate is provided with an suction area and a non-suction cutting area. While suction positioning, the material strip is fixed by the material receiving pressure component, thereby achieving efficient and clean auxiliary material receiving, which is convenient for promotion and application in the fields of material strip receiving and laser processing.
