Some of the circuit boards need to be turned over during etching so as to facilitate etching on both sides, but since the etching device in the prior art does not have a structural setting that facilitates turning over the circuit board, the problem of position deviation occurs when the staff manually turns over the circuit board. For this reason, we propose a circuit board etching device. Utility Model Content

The etching box 1 is used to place a solution for etching the circuit board 3, and the conveyor 2 is used to drive the circuit board 3 to be etched to move through the etching box 1 and immerse it in the solution in the etching box 1. At the same time, the moving speed of the conveyor 2 can be adjusted, so that the circuit board 3 can be immersed for a longer time.

[0023] A conveying shaft 4 is provided in the etching box 1, and a conveying roller 5 is provided on the conveying shaft 4. One end of the conveying member 2 is sleeved on the conveying roller 5 and extends into the etching box 1. A driving member is provided at the other end of the conveying member 2 for driving the conveying member 2 to rotate, thereby driving the circuit board 3 on the conveying member 2 to move.

[0024] A symmetrically arranged fixing member 6 is provided on the conveying member 2. The fixing member 6 is composed of a mounting seat 7 and a leaning seat 8. The mounting seat 7 and the leaning seat 8 are vertically arranged. An elastic arm 9 and a guide arm 10 are provided on the leaning seat 8. The guide arm 10 is provided with a guide arc surface 11 for guiding the circuit board 3 to enter the clamping area 12 for clamping. A plurality of protrusions 13 are provided at the lower end of the guide arm 10 for increasing the friction between the circuit board 3 and the guide arm 10 to keep the circuit board 3 stably installed.

[0025] A clamping area 12 for clamping the circuit board 3 is formed between the elastic arm 9 and the guide arm 10, and the height of the clamping area 12 is less than the thickness of the circuit board 3. A bearing section 14 is provided on the elastic arm 9. A hollow area 15 is formed between the mounting seat 7 and the bearing section 14, so that the solution can reach the lower end of the circuit board 3, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board 3 have an etching effect.

[0026] A receiving groove 16 is provided in the middle of the fixing member 6, a fixing seat 17 is provided in the receiving groove 16, and the fixing seat 17 is provided with a transverse section 18 and a vertical section 19, the transverse section 18 is placed in the mounting seat 7, and the vertical section 19 is placed in the leaning seat 8. The fixing member 6 and the fixing seat 17 are made of materials that are not easily etched.

[0027] The lower end of the mounting seat 7 is provided with a connecting section 20, and the lower end of the connecting section 20 is provided with a symmetrically arranged expansion section 21, and a compression area 22 is formed in the middle of the expansion section 21.
