[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 The dry film tearing mechanism 100 provided in the present application is used for the production of flexible circuit boards. The dry film tearing mechanism 100 includes a tearing seat 10, a bracket 20, a cleaning roller 30, a sticky roller 40 and an air gun 50. The tearing seat 10 can reciprocate along the track. The tearing seat 10 includes two spaced supports 11, and two brackets 20 are installed on the two supports 11. The cleaning roller 30 is installed on one bracket 20. Before tearing the film, the cleaning roller 30 is rolled to clean the surface of the protective film 400. The sticky roller 40 is installed on the other bracket 20 for sticking and tearing the protective film 400. The air gun 50 is installed on the tearing seat 10. The air gun 50 is used to spray the cleaning roller 30 after the film tearing is completed to blow off the dust on the cleaning roller 30.

[0024] The dry film tearing mechanism 100 of the present application is provided with a cleaning roller 30. Before tearing the film, the cleaning roller 30 is first cleaned and then the film is torn off, so as to prevent dust and sweat from affecting the stickiness of the sticky roller 40 and increase the number of times the sticky roller 40 can be reused. After the film tearing is completed, the cleaning roller 30 is blown away by the air jet gun 50 to prevent dust from affecting the yield.

[0025] Specifically, the dry film tearing mechanism 100 includes a film tearing base 10 , a bracket 20 , a cleaning roller 30 , a sticky roller 40 , an air jet gun 50 and a film unloading cylinder 60 .

[0026] The film-tearing seat 10 is fixed on a slidable slide rail (not shown), the slide rail can be close to and away from the product to be torn, and the film-tearing seat 10 can move back and forth along the slide rail to tear the film. The film-tearing seat 10 includes two spaced supports 11, the two supports 11 are arranged in parallel, and the supports 11 are provided with an inclined mounting groove 12, and the bracket 20 is installed in the mounting groove 12.

[0027] The bracket 20 includes two connecting rods 21 and a support rod 22. The two connecting rods 21 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart between the two support rods 22 to form the bracket 20. One of the connecting rods 21 is fixed to one end of the support rod 22, and the other end of the support rod 22 is provided with an installation port for installing the roller. The bracket 20 extends into the installation slot 12 through the connecting rod 21 and is installed on the support 11. The bracket 20 is detachably connected to the support 11 to facilitate replacement or cleaning of the roller. In the embodiment of the present application, the bracket 20 is detachably installed on the support 11 by means of a buckle 23, or a connection using a latch. Specifically, a bent lock hook 233 is formed on the side of the support 11, and a flip-up buckle plate 231 and a T-shaped lock rod 232 arranged on the buckle plate 231 are provided on the side of the bracket 20. The T-shaped lock rod 232 is buckled on the lock hook 233, and the bracket 20 can be fixedly installed on the support 11 by fastening the buckle plate 231. When disassembling, just open the buckle plate 231. In some other embodiments, the detachable connection can also be achieved by means of screws or the like.

[0028] The cleaning roller 30 is installed on the mounting opening of one of the brackets 20. The cleaning roller 30 includes a roller brush 31 and an axial flow motor 32. The roller brush 31 is installed on the outside of the axial flow motor 32. The axial flow motor 32 is used to drive the cleaning roller 30 to rotate. Before tearing the film, the roller brush 31 is close to the protective film 400, and the axial flow motor 32 drives the roller brush 31 to roll to wipe off the dust, sweat stains, etc. on the protective film 400. The built-in axial flow motor 32 is used to avoid excessive mechanical structure operation, and the various structures cooperate to cause wear and tear, which is easy to produce debris and affect the film application.

[0029] The adhesive roller 40 is mounted on the mounting opening of another bracket 20. The adhesive roller 40 is a freely rotatable roller. The adhesive roller 40 and the cleaning roller 30 are both detachably mounted on the bracket 20 by screws for easy replacement and maintenance.

[0030] The gun head of the air gun 50 is bent so that the center direction of the air jet of the air gun 50 is tangent to the surface of the cleaning roller 30. Specifically, there are two air guns 50, which are located between the two brackets 20. The directions of the nozzles of the two air guns 50 are toward the cleaning roller 30, or away from the sticky roller 40, to prevent the air jet from blowing dust toward the sticky roller 40.

[0031] The film unloading cylinder 60 is installed on the film tearing seat 10, and is located on the side of the sticky roller 40 away from the cleaning roller 30; the film unloading cylinder 60 includes a push rod 61 that can freely reciprocate and extend, and a cross bar 62 is provided at the free end of the push rod 61, and an anti-skid rubber 63 is provided on the cross bar 62. The cross bar 62 increases the contact area with the protective film 400 to prevent the protective film 400 from being penetrated. The anti-skid setting is to prevent the cross bar 62 from sliding relative to the protective film 400 when in contact with the protective film 400, which may easily cause the protective film 400 to be unable to be separated from the sticky roller 40.

[0032] When the dry film tearing mechanism 100 of the present application is tearing the film, the flexible substrate 200 is adsorbed and fixed on the base 300, and the protective film 400 is attached to one side of the flexible substrate 100. First, the support 11 drives the bracket 20 along the track to approach the corner position where the protective film 400 needs to be torn off, and the axial flow motor 32 starts to drive the roller brush 31 to rotate. The roller brush 31 rolls the surface of the protective film 400 to remove dust and sweat stains, etc. After cleaning, the axial flow motor 32 is turned off, and the cleaning roller 30 is in a free rotation state. The support 11 continues to move so that the sticky roller 40 contacts the corner of the protective film 400, and the support 11 moves 3-5 mm in the direction away from the protective film 400 to stick to the protective film 400. Then the support 11 moves in the diagonal direction of the corner of the protective film 400 to tear off the protective film 400. When the support 11 moves to the set distance, the film tearing is completed. At this time, the air gun 50 sprays high pressure gas to clean the cleaning roller 30; at the same time, the film unloading cylinder 60 quickly pushes out the push rod 61 to knock down the protective film 400, completing one film tearing. The support 11 moves back to the corner position of the protective film 400 to perform the next film tearing.
