Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board manufacturing, in particular to a vertical film removal device for a circuit board. Background Art

[0002] The production of circuit boards usually adopts the process of substrate dry film → exposure → development → etching → film removal. Among them, film removal is one of the core processes of the circuit board wet process. Its working principle is to use strong alkaline solution to remove the etching resist layer protecting the copper surface at 50℃-60℃ to reveal the circuit pattern. The chemical reaction between the chemical solution and the exposed anti-corrosion layer on the PCB board causes it to fall off.

[0003] The traditional film removal device adopts horizontal film removal, which has some problems: when spraying the solution, due to the influence of the gravity of the solution, the exchange speed of the solution on the upper and lower surfaces of the circuit board is different, which leads to uneven film removal on the upper and lower surfaces and poor film removal effect; and due to the large area of ​​the substrate, it is easy to leave film residues, resulting in low film removal efficiency and incomplete cleaning of film residues; the horizontal film removal device generally uses a roller group to drive the circuit board to move, which is easy to produce indentations on the board surface and cause circuit defects. When producing ultra-fine circuits, it will cause circuit short circuits or open circuits, and the roller group has a large shielding area, resulting in uneven film removal.

[0004] In addition, with the development of the PCB industry, the impedance requirements of various conductors are getting higher and higher, which inevitably requires stricter control of the conductor width. The nozzle of the current film removal device generally sprays the solution vertically to the circuit board, which will cause the dead corners of the circuit board or the positions with small line width and line spacing to be not cleaned thoroughly, resulting in the problem of slag inclusion.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a vertical film removal device for a circuit board comprises a frame 1, a fixture 2 and a film removal mechanism 3. The frame 1 comprises a bottom frame 11 and an upper frame 12 arranged above the bottom frame 11. A medicine box 5 is arranged inside the bottom frame 11, and a filtering mechanism (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the medicine box 5. A reaction tank 13 for film removal is arranged inside the upper frame 12. Switch doors are arranged at the front and rear sides of the upper frame 12, and an observation window is arranged on the door. The circuit board is loaded on the fixture 2 and is conveyed in a vertical state in the reaction tank 13 by the conveying mechanism 4. The film removal mechanism 3 is arranged in the reaction tank 13, and includes two spray discs 31. The two spray discs 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixture 2 with the fixture 2 as the center. The spray disc 31 includes a plurality of nozzles 311 evenly arranged along the conveying direction of the fixture 2. The nozzle 311 is vertically arranged, and a plurality of evenly arranged nozzles 312 are arranged along the vertical direction. The nozzle 311 is arranged parallel to the circuit board on the fixture 2, and the nozzle 312 is inclined to the nozzle 311, that is, the nozzle 312 does not spray vertically on the circuit board. The utility model adopts a vertical film removal method to remove the film, which can solve the problem of uneven and incomplete film removal in horizontal film removal, and the nozzle 312 is tilted and not sprayed vertically on the circuit board, which can remove the etching resist layer at the dead corner of the circuit board or the position with small line width and line spacing, avoid slag inclusion, and ensure clean and thorough film removal; in addition, the medicine tank 5 is arranged in the base frame 11, and when spraying, the medicine enters the spray plate 31 from the medicine tank 5 through the water inlet pipe to spray out the film, and after the film is removed, the medicine carries the film residue from the reaction tank 13 into the medicine tank 5, and then flows into the bottom of the medicine tank 5 after being filtered by the filtering mechanism in the medicine tank 5, and the filtered medicine is recycled and reused to form a medicine circulation system, and the overall structure is compact, which is convenient for recycling medicine and saves resources.

[0031] In the above structure, if Figure 6 As shown, the spray angle A of the nozzle 312 (the angle between the central axis of the nozzle and the horizontal direction) is 10-20°, that is, the angle B between the nozzle 312 and the nozzle 311 is 70-80°.

[0032] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the nozzles 312 on adjacent nozzles 311 are staggered in the vertical direction, and the liquid medicine sprayed from the nozzles 312 is fan-shaped, fully covering the circuit board on the fixture 2.

[0033] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the inclination directions of the nozzles 312 on adjacent nozzles 311 are staggered. Specifically, the nozzles 312 of one nozzle 311 are all tilted upward, and the nozzles 312 on the adjacent nozzles 311 are all tilted downward at the same inclination angle. This arrangement allows the spraying to be in two vertically staggered fan shapes, with a wider spraying range, further ensuring that the etching resist layer at the dead corners of the circuit board or at positions with small line widths and line spacings is completely removed.

[0035] Based on the structure of Example 1, Figure 4-6 As shown, the spray plate 31 also includes a shunt pipe 313 and a support plate 314.

The transmission shaft 412 is arranged along the conveying direction and is arranged parallel to the outside of the transmission seat 411. The transmission shaft 412 is connected to the servo motor (not shown in the figure) through a coupling. The driven shaft 413 is provided with a plurality of shafts and is arranged inside the transmission seat 411. It is rotatably connected to the transmission seat 411, and a magnetic wheel 2 415 is fixed to one end of each driven shaft 413 extending out of the transmission seat 411.

Each driven shaft 413 is also provided with a roller 416 located inside the transmission seat 411, and the bottom of the clamp 2 is connected to the roller 416. The outer side of the roller 416 is also provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the clamp 2 to ensure movement stability.

[0038] In addition, if Figure 2-3 As shown, the conveying mechanism 4 further includes a guide assembly 42 on the top of the upper frame 12, the guide assembly 42 includes a guide seat plate 421 and an upper guide wheel 422. The guide seat plate 421 is a U-shaped groove plate arranged along the conveying direction, and a plurality of groups of upper guide wheels 422 arranged in parallel are arranged in pairs on both sides of the bottom thereof, and the upper end of the clamp 2 passes between the upper guide wheels 422 arranged in pairs. The guide assembly 42 can guide the movement of the clamp 2 and prevent the upper end of the clamp 2 from swinging during the movement of the clamp 2.

[0039] During transportation, the servo motor drives the transmission shaft 412 to drive the magnetic wheel 1 414 to rotate, and the magnetic wheel 1 414 drives the magnetic wheel 2 415 matched therewith to rotate, so that the driven shaft 413 and the roller 416 arranged on the driven shaft 413 rotate, and the rotation of the multiple rollers 416 drives the clamp 2 to move, the structure is simple and compact, and the transportation is stable. During the spraying and film removal process, the conveying mechanism 4 keeps working, and the reaction time of the liquid medicine is controlled by controlling the conveying speed, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper rack 12 is also provided with a cavity located at the rear side of the reaction tank 13 for the rotation of the unloaded fixture 2, and the cavity is also provided with a conveying mechanism 4. This arrangement allows the fixture 2 to circulate on the production line of the circuit board, with a high degree of automation and can improve the utilization rate of the fixture.
