Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for circuit board processing, specifically a positioning device for multilayer circuit boards. Background Technology
[0002] In the fabrication of multilayer circuit boards, precise positioning and stacking of the multilayer circuit boards are required for subsequent lamination, soldering, and other processing steps. Currently used multilayer circuit board positioning devices mostly only provide simple support and positioning functions, and have several shortcomings in practical applications: Firstly, they lack effective positioning guidance structures, making it easy for multilayer circuit boards to shift during placement, resulting in insufficient positioning accuracy; secondly, the flatness detection of the multilayer circuit boards after stacking is not precise enough, and real-time calibration during positioning is difficult. Uneven stacking can easily lead to problems such as poor soldering and uneven lamination in subsequent processing, affecting the processing quality and yield of the circuit boards.
[0003] Furthermore, the pressing structure of existing positioning devices is prone to damaging the circuit board surface when in contact with it. Additionally, the flatness detection elements have poor installation stability and protection, and are susceptible to dust, oil, and other contaminants after prolonged use, leading to a decrease in detection accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-layer circuit board positioning device with precise positioning guidance, real-time flatness calibration, and good protective performance to address the problems existing in current technologies. Summary of the Invention

A multi-layer circuit board positioning light source calibration unit is disposed on one side of the dialing table and is used to perform auxiliary light source calibration when the multi-layer circuit board is placed. A multi-layer circuit board flatness calibration unit is disposed on the surface area of the base platform and is used to perform flatness calibration placement when the circuit board is stacked in multiple layers.

[0025] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: a positioning device for multilayer circuit boards, comprising a base platform 1, a counterweight platform 2, a vertical frame 3, a top platform 4, and a shifting plate platform 6. The counterweight platform 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the base platform 1 by bolts to improve the overall stability of the device and prevent the device from shaking during the pressing and positioning process. The vertical frame 3 is configured as two sets, and the two sets of vertical frames 3 are symmetrically welded to both sides of the top of the base platform 1. The top platform 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical frame 3 by bolts. The shifting plate platform 6 is welded to one side of the top platform 4. A dustproof chamber 5 is provided on the top of the top platform 4, and an observation port 51 is installed on one side of the dustproof chamber 5. The shifting plate platform 6 is used to assist in the loading and positioning guidance of the multilayer circuit boards.
[0026] A multi-layer circuit board positioning light source calibration unit is located on one side of the dial plate 6. It is used for auxiliary light source calibration when placing multi-layer circuit boards. The multi-layer circuit board positioning light source calibration unit includes a fixing base 45, which is bolted to one side of the dial plate 6. An electric hinge 46 is installed on one side of the fixing base 45 by screws. A rotating block 47 is welded to the rotating end of the electric hinge 46. A calibration lamp is embedded in the rotating block 47. The calibration lamp is an LED high-brightness lamp with a wide illumination range and adjustable brightness. The electric hinge 46 can drive the rotating block 47 and the calibration lamp to rotate, thereby adjusting the illumination angle of the calibration lamp to adapt to multi-layer circuit boards of different sizes and placement positions, achieving precise light source guidance and avoiding circuit board placement misalignment.
[0027] A multi-layer circuit board flatness calibration unit is located on the surface of the base platform 1. It is used for flatness calibration during multi-layer stacking of circuit boards. The multi-layer circuit board flatness calibration unit includes a platform panel 7, which is bolted to the surface of the base platform 1. The top of the platform panel 7 has an assembly groove, and a support bar 8 is placed in the assembly groove. A thin-film pressure sensor is attached to the surface of the support bar 8. The thin-film pressure sensor is a flexible pressure sensor that can detect the pressure distribution during multi-layer circuit board stacking in real time and determine the flatness of the circuit board stacking by the pressure distribution. Through slots 81 are opened at both ends of the top of the support bar 8. Assembly screws are installed in the through slots 81. The support bar 8 can be fixed in the assembly groove by the assembly screws. At the same time, the design of the through slots 81 facilitates the adjustment of the installation position of the support bar 8 to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes.
[0028] A linear cylinder 41 is bolted to the top of the top platform 4. Two sets of linear cylinders 41 are symmetrically arranged. Each set of linear cylinders 41 is symmetrically equipped with two sets of vertical tubes 42. The vertical tubes 42 are welded to the top of the top platform 4 and pass through the top platform 4. A movable rod 43 is slidably installed inside the vertical tube 42. The movable rod 43 is clearance-fitted with the vertical tube 42 and can slide up and down along the vertical tube 42. A through hole is opened at the top of the top platform 4. The moving end of the linear cylinder 41 passes through the through hole. A fixed plate 44 is bolted to the moving end of the linear cylinder 41 and the bottom of the movable rod 43. When the linear cylinder 41 works, it can drive the fixed plate 44 to move up and down. The movable rod 43 moves synchronously with the fixed plate 44, which plays a guiding and stabilizing role and prevents the fixed plate 44 from tilting during the movement.
[0029] A pressure plate 9 is bolted to the bottom of the fixing plate 44. The cross-sectional area of the pressure plate 9 is larger than that of the fixing plate 44, which increases the contact area for pressing and improves the pressing stability. A pressure adhesive 91 is symmetrically attached to the bottom of the pressure plate 9. The pressure adhesive 91 is made of silicone material, which has good flexibility and elasticity and can effectively buffer the pressing force to avoid damage to the circuit board surface during the pressing process. A flatness sensor is installed in the inner bottom of the pressure adhesive 91. The flatness sensor adopts a miniature laser flatness sensor with high detection accuracy. An inner cavity adapted to the flatness sensor is opened in the pressure adhesive 91. A sealing gasket is provided at the opening of the inner cavity. The sealing gasket is a rubber sealing gasket and is flush with the bottom surface of the pressure adhesive 91. The sealing gasket can prevent dust, oil and other contaminants from entering the inner cavity, ensuring the detection accuracy and service life of the flatness sensor.
[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When using this positioning device for multi-layer circuit boards, firstly, according to the size of the multi-layer circuit board to be processed, adjust the position of the support bar 8 in the mounting slot of the table panel 7, and fix the support bar 8 with mounting screws; then, adjust the illumination angle of the calibration lamp through the electric hinge 46 so that the light from the calibration lamp accurately illuminates the predetermined placement area of the table panel 7; place the multi-layer circuit board sequentially on the support bar 8 of the table panel 7, achieving precise placement under the guidance of the light from the calibration lamp; after placement, start the linear cylinder 41, which drives the fixed... The fixing plate 44, pressure plate 9, and adhesive 91 move downwards. The adhesive 91 contacts the surface of the multilayer circuit board and applies a certain pressure to achieve pressing and positioning. During this process, the thin film pressure sensor on the surface of the support bar 8 detects the pressure distribution in real time, and the flatness sensor in the adhesive 91 detects the flatness of the circuit board in real time. If the flatness is not up to standard, the pressing force of the linear cylinder 41 can be adjusted or the placement position of the circuit board can be readjusted to ensure that the multilayer circuit board is stacked flat. After the pressing and positioning is completed, the linear cylinder 41 drives the pressure plate 9 to reset, and subsequent processing steps can be carried out.
[0031] Working principle: First, the counterweight platform 2 ensures the overall stability of the device. Based on the dimensions of the multi-layer circuit board to be processed, the mounting screws in the through slots 81 at both ends of the support bar 8 are used to adjust and fix the position of the support bar 8 in the mounting slot of the table panel 7. Then, the multi-layer circuit board positioning light source calibration unit is activated. The electric hinge 46 drives the rotating block 47 to rotate the calibration lamp to a suitable angle, allowing the light emitted by the calibration lamp to be accurately projected onto the predetermined placement area of the table panel 7, providing light source guidance for the placement of the multi-layer circuit board to achieve initial positioning. The operator then stacks the multi-layer circuit boards sequentially onto the support bar 8. The thin-film pressure sensor on the surface of the support bar 8 detects the pressure distribution during the stacking process in real time and synchronously feeds it back to the control system to determine the initial flatness. After stacking is completed, the two sets of linear cylinders 41 on the top of the top platform 4 are activated synchronously, their moving ends passing through the through holes of the top platform 4 to drive... The fixed plate 44 moves downward, and the movable rod 43 inside the vertical tube 42 slides synchronously with the fixed plate 44 to ensure the stability of the movement. The fixed plate 44 drives the pressure plate 9 and the adhesive 91 symmetrically installed at the bottom to gradually approach and adhere to the surface of the multilayer circuit board to achieve pressing and positioning. During the pressing process, the flatness sensor at the bottom of the adhesive 91 detects the flatness of the circuit board surface in real time, and the sealing gasket at the inner cavity and opening of the adhesive 91 that is compatible with the flatness sensor can ensure the detection accuracy. If the thin film pressure sensor or the flatness sensor detects that the flatness is not up to standard, the control system can provide feedback signals to adjust the pressing force of the linear cylinder 41 or prompt the operator to readjust the placement position of the circuit board. After the detection data meets the standard, the linear cylinder 41 maintains the pressing force for a period of time to ensure stable positioning. After the positioning is completed, the linear cylinder 41 drives the pressure plate 9 to reset, and the subsequent processing steps can be carried out.
