Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB circuit boards, in particular to a device for detecting the flatness of a PCB press. Background Art
[0002] Lamination is a key process required to produce high-layer PCBs. To ensure sufficient solidification of the lamination material, the lamination process takes a long time and is inefficient. Consequently, PCB manufacturers are constantly increasing the size of their presses and the number of carrier plates to increase production. However, due to the increased size and number of layers, the flatness of the hot platen and the uniformity of the die surface can deteriorate after repeated opening and closing. This can lead to deformation, tilting, and uneven pressure on the die. Once the flatness of the hot platen becomes abnormal, untimely processing can lead to the irreparable scrapping of entire batches of furnaces. The lack of effective process control is a pressing technical issue in this field.
[0003] The key to the uniformity of board thickness is to rely on the control of the press equipment. The effective implementation of key equipment test items is the guarantee of the stability of process product quality. The efficient and accurate test of press flatness directly affects the consistency of batch boards, the thickness of pressed boards, and the uniformity of dielectric layers. Due to the rising cost of main material boards in recent years, the improvement of inner layer yield directly affects production cost savings. The inner layer circuit production process is complicated, with a long process and many workstations. If high-precision circuits are not paid attention to, they are prone to open and short circuit defects and scrap. Therefore, a detection device for PCB press flatness is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In order to facilitate the pressing of the tin bars, the pressing mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a first motor 501 fixed to the left side of the inner cavity of the box body 6, and the output shaft of the first motor 501 is fixed with a first threaded rod 502. The pressing mechanism 5 also includes a second threaded rod 505 rotatably connected between the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the box body 6 through a bearing seat. The outer surfaces of the first threaded rod 502 and the second threaded rod 505 are provided with a transmission assembly 503. The first threaded rod 502 drives the second threaded rod 505 to rotate through the transmission assembly 503. The first threaded rod 505 02 and the outer surface of the second threaded rod 505 are threadedly connected to two moving blocks 504. The first threaded rod 502 and the second threaded rod 505 rotate simultaneously, driving the two moving blocks 504 to move relative to or opposite to each other at the same time. The lower surface of the moving block 504 is hinged to two hinged rods 506, and the lower surface of the four hinged rods 506 is hinged to a moving plate 507. The pressure plate 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the moving plate 507. The moving block 504 drives the moving plate 507 and the pressure plate 7 to move together through the hinged rod 506 to press the tin bar.
[0024] Among them, the transmission assembly 503 includes a first sprocket fixed to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 502 and a second sprocket fixed to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 505. The outer surfaces of the first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a chain, and the first threaded rod 502 drives the second threaded rod 505 to rotate through the transmission assembly 503.
[0025] In addition, sliders are fixed on the front and rear sides of the moving block 504, and sliding grooves are opened on the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the box body 6.

[0026] In the pressing mechanism 5 of this embodiment, the first motor 501 drives the first threaded rod 502 to rotate, and the first threaded rod 502 drives the second threaded rod 505 to rotate together through the transmission assembly 503. The two moving blocks 504 are caused to move relative to each other at the same time through the first threaded rod 502 and the second threaded rod 505. The moving block 504 drives the moving plate 507 and the pressing plate 7 to move together through the hinged rod 506 to press the tin bar, which is convenient for recording the thickness data of the tin bar later.
[0027] See also Figure 4In order to fix the hot plate 3, the fixing mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a second motor 201 fixed to the upper surface of the inner cavity of the base 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 201 is fixed with a rotating rod 202, and the outer surface of the rotating rod 202 is fixed with a gear 203. The outer surface of the gear 203 is engaged with two racks 204, and the two racks 204 are driven to move relative to or opposite to each other at the same time through the rotation of the gear 203. A vertical plate 205 is fixed to the upper surface of the rack 204, and a clamping rod 206 is fixed on the opposite side of the two vertical plates 205. The fixing mechanism 2 also includes two bottom blocks 207 fixed to the lower surface of the hot plate 3, and the opposite sides of the two bottom blocks 207 are each provided with a clamping hole 208.
[0028] Among them, the clamping rod 206 is slidably connected to the inside of the clamping hole 208, which is used to fix the hot plate 3.

Two bottom holes are provided on the upper surface of the base 1, and the bottom block 207 is slidably connected to the inside of the bottom hole, which is used to limit the hot plate 3.
[0029] In addition, a T-shaped block is fixed to the lower surface of the rack 204. Two T-shaped slots are opened on the lower surface of the inner cavity of the base 1. The T-shaped block is slidably connected to the inside of the T-shaped slots to increase the stability of the rack 204 when moving.
[0030] It should be noted that 12 tin bars with a size of 3.0mm (diameter) * 50mm (length) were placed on a hot plate 3 cooled to ≤40°C, and a total of 12 positions were tested. After the pressing was completed, the tin bars were taken out, and the thickness of each tin bar was measured using a micrometer and the data was recorded. The recorded data were summarized and the range of the tin bar thickness of each hot plate 3 was calculated. If the range was greater than 0.1mm, it was judged to be unqualified and the equipment engineer was notified to follow up and adjust.
[0031] The fixing mechanism 2 in this embodiment inserts the bottom block 207 into the base 1, and the second motor 201 drives the rotating rod 202 and the gear 203 to rotate together, and the front rack 204 moves to the left and the rear rack 204 moves to the right through the gear 203.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0033] (1) When the tin bar needs to be pressed, the first motor 501 is started. The first motor 501 drives the first threaded rod 502 to rotate, and the first sprocket is driven to rotate through the first threaded rod 502. The first sprocket drives the second sprocket and the second threaded rod 505 to rotate together through the chain. Since the two sections of the thread of the first threaded rod 502 and the second threaded rod 505 are in opposite directions, the first threaded rod 502 and the second threaded rod 505 rotate, driving the two moving blocks 504 to move relative to each other at the same time, and the moving block 504 will drive the slider to slide inside the slide groove, increasing the stability of the moving block 504 when moving. When the moving block 504 moves, it will drive the hinged rod 506 to rotate. The moving block 504 drives the moving plate 507 and the pressure plate 7 to move together through the hinged rod 506 to press the tin bar, which is convenient for recording the thickness data of the tin bar later.
[0034] (2) After the bottom block 207 is inserted into the interior of the base 1 through the bottom hole, the second motor 201 is started. The second motor 201 drives the rotating rod 202 and the gear 203 to rotate together, and drives the front rack 204 to move to the left through the gear 203, and drives the rear rack 204 to move to the right through the gear 203. The rack 204 will drive the T-shaped block to slide inside the T-shaped groove, increasing the stability of the rack 204 when moving. When the rack 204 moves, it will drive the vertical plate 205 and the clamping rod 206 to move together, so that the clamping rod 206 is clamped into the inside of the clamping hole 208, fixing the hot plate 3, making it convenient for the pressing plate 7 to press the tin bar on the hot plate 3, and preventing the hot plate 3 from moving, thereby affecting the pressing effect.
