Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of line width measurement, in particular to an automatic line width measuring instrument. Background Art

[0002] After the PCB board is produced, it needs to be inspected, especially by measuring the wire width on the surface of the board to determine whether it is consistent with the wire design width required on the design circuit drawing to ensure the production quality of the PCB board. There are tiny inverted triangles or inverted trapezoids between the wires on the surface of the PCB board. The detection light source of the line width measuring instrument is used to illuminate the trapezoidal side of the bright metal surface. By measuring the distance between the reflected light, the sum of the upper and lower side lengths of the trapezoid after etching can be obtained. Subsequently, the cross-sectional area of ​​the etched wire can be obtained by measuring the thickness of the etching layer, so as to detect whether the etching condition of the PCB board meets the requirements.

[0003] The conventional lighting used in the currently widely used automatic line width measuring instruments cannot achieve clear discrimination of the tiny distance between two lines.

[0023] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V mains electricity, and the main controller can be a conventional known device for controlling a computer or the like.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", "upper", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the automatic line width measuring instrument includes an electrical box 1, wherein a movable support assembly 2 is provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the electrical box 1, a control console 3 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the electrical box 1, a longitudinal electric guide rail 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the electrical box 1, a support frame 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving part of the longitudinal electric guide rail 4, the number of the support frames 8 is two and they are symmetrically arranged on the left and right, a supporting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the electrical box 1, the supporting plate 5 is arranged without contact with the longitudinal electric guide rail 4, a vacuum adsorption mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the supporting plate 5, a transverse electric guide rail 9 is fixedly installed between the tops of the two support frames 8, a moving block 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving part of the transverse electric guide rail 9, a positioning assembly 11 is fixedly installed on the front of the moving block 10, an optical refractor 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the positioning assembly 11, a detection light source generator 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the optical refractor 12, and the positioning assembly 11, the optical refractor 12 and the detection light source generator 13 are internally connected.

[0026] More specifically, the PCB board to be tested is placed on the top surface of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6. The vacuum adsorption effect of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6 makes the PCB board completely flat, avoiding the influence of board surface deformation on the measurement accuracy, and effectively improving the detection accuracy. The support frame 8 is driven to move forward and backward by the longitudinal electric guide rail 4, and the moving block 10 is driven to move left and right by the transverse electric guide rail 9, and finally the positioning component 11 is driven to move forward and backward and left and right, so that the positioning component 11 can quickly move to the position to be tested, and the positioning light source is emitted by the positioning component 11 to be positioned near the detection position. The detection light source generator 13 emits the detection light source downward, and when the detection light source passes through the optical refractor 12, it is partially reflected by the optical refractor 12. The horizontal light enters the positioning component 11, part of which passes through the optical refractor 12 and is refracted into useless light, and part of which passes through the optical refractor 12 vertically to the wire slope on the surface of the PCB board, and returns vertically to the optical refractor 12 after being reflected by two adjacent wire slopes. The light reflected by the wire slope partially passes through the optical refractor 12 when passing through the optical refractor 12 and is refracted into horizontal light. The refracted horizontal light enters the positioning component 11, and there is a distance difference between the horizontal light reflected by the optical refractor 12 when emitted. The positioning component 11 senses the two light beams with a small spacing and thus clearly distinguishes them. After calculation and processing by the control console 3, a line width measurement result with high accuracy can be obtained.

[0027] Dust-proof brushes 7 are provided on the top surface of the longitudinal electric guide rail 4 and the front surface of the transverse electric guide rail 9 , and the support frame 8 and the moving block 10 are movably arranged on the surface of the dust-proof brush 7 .

[0028] Specifically, dust is prevented by using the dust-proof brush 7 to prevent dust accumulation from affecting the flexibility and movement accuracy of the longitudinal electric guide rail 4 and the transverse electric guide rail 9 , thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the positioning assembly 11 .

[0029] The mobile support assembly 2 includes a support leg 201, a threaded pad 202 and a roller 203. The support leg 201 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the electrical box 1, the threaded pad 202 is threadedly installed on the surface of the support leg 201, and the roller 203 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the electrical box 1. When the threaded pad 202 is fully threadedly connected to the surface of the support leg 201, the threaded pad 202 is suspended relative to the ground and the bottom surface of the roller 203 is in contact with the ground.

[0030] Specifically, the threaded pad 202 can be rotated to make it rise and fall relative to the support leg 201. The roller 203 can be suspended in the air by rotating the threaded pad 202 to move it downward. When the threaded pad 202 contacts the ground, the automatic line width measuring instrument can be fixed. The roller 203 can be rotated to move it upward to make it contact the ground. When the threaded pad 202 is suspended in the air, the roller 203 can be used to quickly push the automatic line width measuring instrument to move flexibly.

[0031] The control console 3 includes a table top 301, which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the electrical box 1. A display 302 is fixedly installed on the rear of the top surface of the table top 301. Control buttons 303 are provided on the surface of the table top 301. A control circuit is integrated inside the table top 301. The table top 301 is electrically connected to the longitudinal electric guide rail 4, the transverse electric guide rail 9, the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6, the positioning component 11 and the optical refractor 12.

[0032] Specifically, in coordination with the display of the display 302, corresponding control signals are sent to the integrated circuit through several different control buttons 303, and then the longitudinal electric guide rail 4, the transverse electric guide rail 9, the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6, the positioning component 11 and the optical refractor 12 are controlled. The position of the positioning component 11 is adjusted by controlling the longitudinal electric guide rail 4 and the transverse electric guide rail 9, and the PCB board is adsorbed and flattened or the adsorption is ended by controlling the start and stop of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6. The line width measurement of a specific area is completed by controlling the positioning component 11 and the optical refractor 12.

[0033] The vacuum adsorption mechanism 6 includes a vacuum generator 601 and a porous plate 604. The vacuum generator 601 is fixedly installed on the rear part of the top surface of the supporting plate 5. The output end of the vacuum generator 601 is fixedly connected to an air pipe 602. An inspection cover 603 is hinged on the top surface of the vacuum generator 601. The porous plate 604 is fixedly installed on the front part of the top surface of the supporting plate 5. The end of the air pipe 602 away from the vacuum generator 601 is connected to the inside of the porous plate 604.

[0034] Specifically, the PCB board to be tested is placed on the top surface of the porous plate 604, and the vacuum generator 601 is used to suck air to form an air duct through the air pipe 602 and the holes on the surface of the porous plate 604. The suction force is used to make the PCB board close to the top surface of the porous plate 604 and be flattened. The vacuum generator 601 is continuously operated to reduce the air density between the bottom surface of the PCB board and the porous plate 604, so that it is reliably adsorbed on the surface of the porous plate 604 under the action of atmospheric pressure. When the test is completed, air is blown into the air pipe 602 and the porous plate 604 through the vacuum generator 601. After the air pressure is reduced, the PCB board can be easily removed, and the vacuum generator 601 can be repaired by turning open the inspection cover 603.

[0035] The positioning assembly 11 includes a light collecting tube 111, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving block 10. A positioning ring 112 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the light collecting tube 111, a positioning light source receiver 113 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the light collecting tube 111, an optical refractor 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the light collecting tube 111, a reflector is provided inside the light collecting tube 111, the reflector and the optical refractor 12 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right, the light collecting tube 111 and the optical refractor 12 are connected, and the positioning light source receiver 113 is electrically connected to the table 301.

[0036] Specifically, during positioning, the area to be detected is roughly circled by the positioning circle 112, and then the positioning light source transceiver 113 is used to emit light vertically downward for accurate positioning. When measuring the line width, the horizontal light formed by reflection from the two adjacent wire slopes and refracted by the optical refractor 12, and the horizontal light formed by reflection from the optical refractor 12 when the detection light source generator 13 is initially emitted are both emitted to the reflector inside the light collecting tube 111, and after reflection by the reflector, they are emitted vertically upward inside the light collecting tube 111 to the positioning light source transceiver 113. The two light rays are sensed by the positioning light source transceiver 113, and the sensing signal is transmitted to the table 301. The line width data is obtained after calculation and processing by the table 301.

[0037] In summary: the PCB board to be detected is placed on the top surface of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6, and the vacuum adsorption effect of the vacuum adsorption mechanism 6 makes the PCB board completely flat, avoiding the influence of board surface deformation on the measurement accuracy, and effectively improving the detection accuracy. The longitudinal electric guide rail 4 drives the support frame 8 to move forward and backward, and the transverse electric guide rail 9 drives the moving block 10 to move left and right, and finally drives the positioning component 11 to move forward and backward and left and right, so that the positioning component 11 can quickly move to the position to be detected, and the positioning light source is emitted by the positioning component 11 to be positioned near the detection position. The detection light source generator 13 emits the detection light source downward, and the optical refractor 12 is used to reflect and refract the light emitted by the detection light source generator 13 and the light reflected by the inclined surface of the wire, so that the emitted light and the reflected light each have branch light rays that enter the interior of the positioning component 11 horizontally through the optical refractor 12, and the two branch light rays with a small spacing are sensed by the positioning component 11 so as to be clearly distinguished. After calculation and processing by the control console 3, a line width measurement result with high accuracy can be obtained.
