DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0067] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In the description of the present application, "plurality" means two or more than two, and at least one means one, two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0068] The milling and forming of PCB boards is an important step in the PCB production process. In related technologies, the general operation process of milling and forming is: pre-processing of materials → punching pin holes on the bakelite board of the workbench, planting pins (for fixing and positioning PCB boards) → manual loading, placing pads (pads to prevent the milling cutter from milling the table), multi-layer PCB boards, positioning by pins - placing pads and PCB boards in sequence, and pressing to prevent warping - forming by the molding machine, the molding machine mills through the PCB boards in each area → manual unloading, manually picking up the finished boards in each area along each axis in sequence; manual material separation and unloading → picking up the finished boards of each axis and each area, taking out the milled outer frame and throwing it in the waste area, and taking out the pads (different pads need to be replaced for different material numbers). In summary, the current molding operation scheme is mainly: pre-processing of materials → manual loading → manual unloading → manual material separation, etc., which will waste a lot of time and labor costs. The collection, classification, transportation, loading and unloading of finished multi-layer boards, pads and waste boards are complicated and require much manual intervention. In addition, the machines need to be stopped and cannot be completed outside the machines. Large-scale production lines will require more standby time, which seriously restricts the utilization rate of the machines and affects the production capacity of molding. The loading and unloading methods of traditional molding machines are contrary to the development trend of rapid, automated and unmanned PCB manufacturing industry.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application provides a circuit board forming device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0070] Please also refer to 1 to Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a circuit board forming device, which is used for processing and manufacturing circuit boards. Specifically, the circuit board forming device includes: a first feeding device 100, a first forming device 200, a second feeding device 400 and a second forming device 500.

[0071] The first feeding device 100 is disposed on one side of the first molding device 200 and is used to transfer the sheet material 800 to the first molding device 200. Figure 2The sheet material 800 includes a pad 810 and a multi-layer sheet 820 connected to the pad 810. The pad 810 is located under the multi-layer sheet 820 as a protective plate to prevent the first molding device 200 from being damaged after penetrating the multi-layer sheet 820 during processing. The circuit board molding device directly uses the sheet material 800 as the processing object, which can reduce the process of manually placing the pad 810 and the multi-layer sheet 820 on the first molding device 200 and positioning the two by pins, thereby reducing labor costs and improving processing continuity.

[0072] The first molding device 200 is used to process the sheet material 800 into a semi-finished product 850, so as to process each layer of the sheet material 820 of the sheet material 800 into a connected material frame 821 and a circuit board 822. It should be noted that the semi-finished product 850 described in the embodiment of the present application is a material state in which the sheet material 800 still maintains the material frame 821 and the circuit board 822 connected after being processed by the first molding device 200. For details, please refer to Figure 3 The first molding device 200 can process the sheet material 800 placed thereon, and mill and mold the multi-layer sheet material 820 respectively to form at least one circuit board 822 on the sheet material 820, and the connecting portion 823 between the material frame 821 and the circuit board 822 is not completely milled off during the processing, so as to keep the material frame 821 and the circuit board 822 connected through the connecting portion 823, and maintain the integrity of the material, so as to facilitate the subsequent transfer process and secondary processing process.

[0073] The first molding device 200 is also used to transfer the semi-finished product 850 to the first feeding device 100 so as to facilitate the transfer of the semi-finished product 850 and maintain the production rhythm.

[0074] The second feeding device 400 is disposed at one side of the second molding device 500, and is used to receive the semi-finished product 850 and transfer it to the second molding device 500. The second molding device 500 is used to process the semi-finished product 850 to separate the circuit board 822 from the material frame 821.

[0075] Thus, the circuit board forming equipment uses the sheet material 800 and the semi-finished product 850 after the sheet material 800 is processed once as the processing object, processes the processing object twice respectively through the first forming device 200 and the second forming device 500, and feeds the materials respectively through the first feeding device 100 and the second feeding device 400, which can reduce manual intervention and save labor costs. In addition, the automation level of the circuit board 822 processing is improved, the standby time of each device is reduced, the utilization rate of the device is improved, the continuity of production is improved, the production time cost is reduced, and the output and production capacity are improved.

[0076] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first feeding device 100 includes a first frame 110 and a first conveying mechanism 120. The first frame 110 is disposed on one side of the first molding device 200. The first conveying mechanism 120 is disposed on the first frame 110. The first conveying mechanism 120 is used to carry the sheet material 800 and convey the sheet material 800 to the first molding device 200.

[0077] Among them, the first conveying mechanism 120 can adopt conveying forms such as conveyor belt, chain plate conveying, roller conveying, etc., combined with the drive of the driving motor, to realize the movement of the sheet material 800 carried thereon, and then realize the conveying of the sheet material 800. Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 120 can be aligned with the first workbench 220 of the first molding device 200 at a height to achieve docking, and then move the sheet material 800 located thereon so that the sheet material 800 can be moved to the first workbench 220 of the first molding device 200. After the first molding device 200 processes the sheet material 800 into a semi-finished product 850, the first molding device 200 moves the semi-finished product 850 so that it can be moved to the first conveying mechanism 120. At this time, the first conveying mechanism 120 is also used to receive and carry the semi-finished product 850. By setting the first conveying mechanism 120, the sheet material 800 and the semi-finished product 850 can be carried and both can be conveyed, thereby facilitating the implementation of automated production.

[0078] Optional, please refer again Figure 4 The first conveying mechanism 120 may also be provided with a guiding structure to guide the sheet material 800 or the semi-finished product 850 when conveying the sheet material 800 or receiving the semi-finished product 850, so that it can be accurately moved to the target position, thereby improving the accuracy of automated production.

[0079] See also Figure 5In some embodiments, the first feeding device 100 includes a plurality of first conveying mechanisms 120, which are arranged along the height direction of the first frame 110, and each first conveying mechanism 120 can move relative to the first frame 110 along the height direction. Specifically, the movement of the first conveying mechanism 120 can be achieved by setting a driving motor in combination with a gear rack, a ball screw, a linear guide, a crank slider and other structures. By setting a plurality of first conveying mechanisms 120, the sheet material 800 can be conveyed to the first molding device 200 in batches, and batch loading can be achieved. For example, two layers of first conveying mechanisms 120 can be set, and when the upper first conveying mechanism 120 conveys the sheet material 800 to the first molding device 200, the lower first conveying mechanism 120 receives the sheet material 800, and after the sheet material 800 conveyed by the upper layer is processed into a semi-finished product 850 and returned, the lower first conveying mechanism 120 moves upward and docks with the first molding device 200 to convey the next batch of sheet materials 800. Of course, three or more layers of the first conveying mechanism 120 can be set up as needed, so that loading, unloading and temporary storage do not affect each other, which is conducive to adjusting and maintaining a good production rhythm and improving production efficiency.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first feeding device 100 may include multiple layers of first conveying mechanisms 120, each layer of the first conveying mechanisms 120 includes multiple first conveying mechanisms 120, and the multiple first conveying mechanisms 120 on each layer move synchronously along the height direction to synchronize the upper and lower sheet materials 800, which is convenient for multiple sets of first forming devices 200 to process at the same time, thereby further improving production efficiency.

[0081] Please refer again Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first feeding device 100 further includes a first silo 130, which is used to receive the sheet material 800. The first silo 130 includes a plurality of first feeding mechanisms 131, each of which can carry at least one sheet material 800. The first silo 130 is used to move to one side of the first rack 110, and the first feeding mechanism 131 is used to feed the sheet material 800 to the first conveying mechanism 120. By providing the first silo 130, on the one hand, the sheet material 800 can be received for processing, and on the other hand, the sheet material 800 can be continuously supplied to the first conveying mechanism 120.

[0082] In particular, in some embodiments, the plurality of first feeding mechanisms 131 are arranged in multiple layers up and down. When multiple layers of first conveying mechanisms 120 are provided, the plurality of first feeding mechanisms 131 can supply the sheet material 800 to the first conveying mechanisms 120 of different layers respectively.

[0083] Optionally, the base of the first material bin 130 may be configured as an automated guided vehicle (AGV) to enable the first material bin 130 to move via the AGV.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first feeding device 100 may include a robotic arm, and the sheet material 800 may be fed to the first molding device 200 or the semi-finished product 850 may be removed from the first molding device 200 by means of grabbing by the robotic arm.

[0085] Please refer again Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first molding device 200 includes a first base 210, a first worktable 220, and a first processing axis 230. The first worktable 220 is disposed on the first base 210, and the first worktable 220 has a first processing area 221. The sheet material 800 can be carried on the first worktable 220 and located in the first processing area 221. The first processing axis 230 is disposed on the first base 210 and is located above the first worktable 220. The first processing axis 230 can move relative to the first worktable 220, and is used to process the sheet material 800 in the first processing area 221 into a semi-finished product 850. By controlling the first processing axis 230 to move relative to the first worktable 220, the relative position of the first processing axis 230 and the first worktable 220 can be changed, so that the sheet material 800 carried on the first worktable 220 and located in the first processing area 221 can be processed. Specifically, the first molding device 200 can be configured as a milling machine or a drilling machine, and the first worktable 220 and / or the first processing axis 230 can be moved to achieve relative displacement between the two, thereby achieving processing operations.

[0086] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first molding device 200 further includes a first material moving mechanism 240 , a first guiding and positioning mechanism 250 , and a first pressing mechanism 260 .

[0087] The first material moving mechanism 240 is disposed on the first workbench 220, and is used to move the sheet material 800 to the first processing area 221, and to transfer the semi-finished product 850 to the first feeding device 100. Specifically, the first material moving mechanism 240 can be a conveying form such as a conveyor belt, a chain plate conveyor, a roller conveyor, etc., and can be driven by a driving motor to realize the material transfer. There is no need for manual material placement, which reduces labor costs, improves the level of automation, and improves processing efficiency.

[0088] The first guide positioning mechanism 250 is provided on the first workbench 220, and is used to guide the sheet material 800 and position the sheet material 800 in the first processing area 221. By providing the first guide positioning mechanism 250, the sheet material 800 can be accurately positioned in the first processing area 221, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy.

[0089] The first clamping mechanism 260 is disposed on the first workbench 220, and is used to clamp and fix the sheet material 800 located in the first processing area 221 on the first workbench 220. Thus, the sheet material 800 is prevented from shaking during processing, and the surface of the sheet material 800 is prevented from warping, thereby improving processing accuracy.

[0090] Please refer again Figure 6 The first guide positioning mechanism 250 has a first guide groove 251. The sheet material 800 includes a positioning member 830 connecting the backing plate 810 and the plurality of material plates 820. Specifically, the positioning member 830 can be set as a pin, which can be used for positioning on the one hand, and can connect the backing plate 810 and the plurality of material plates 820 together through the pin on the other hand. The positioning member 830 can be embedded in the first guide groove 251 and can move along the first guide groove 251 to guide the sheet material 800 through the first guide groove 251. When the first material moving mechanism 240 drives the sheet material 800 or the semi-finished product 850 to move, the positioning member 830 thereon can be embedded in the first guide groove 251 and move along the first guide groove 251, thereby achieving guidance.

[0091] The first guide positioning mechanism 250 includes a first clamping portion 252, the first clamping portion 252 is located in the first processing area 221, and the first clamping portion 252 is used to clamp the positioning member 830 to position the sheet material 800 in the first processing area 221. The first clamping portion 252 clamps the positioning member 830 to achieve accurate positioning of the sheet material 800. Specifically, the first clamping portion 252 can be set on the extension path of the first guide groove 251, so that when the first material moving mechanism 240 drives the sheet material 800 to move to the end position along the first guide groove 251, the positioning member 830 moves to the clamping area of ​​the first clamping portion 252 accordingly, so as to be clamped and positioned by the first clamping portion 252.

[0092] Please refer again Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first workbench 220 is provided with a first avoidance groove 222, and the first clamping mechanism 260 is disposed in the first avoidance groove 222 and can move along the first avoidance groove 222 to approach and move away from the sheet material 800 positioned in the first processing area 221. When the sheet material 800 is positioned in the first processing area 221, the first clamping mechanism 260 can move along the first avoidance groove 222 and approach the sheet material 800, and clamp and fix the sheet material 800. After the sheet material 800 is processed into a semi-finished product 850, the first clamping mechanism 260 is lifted, moves along the first avoidance groove 222 and moves away from the semi-finished product 850 to release the semi-finished product 850.

[0093] Please refer again Figure 1In some embodiments, the second feeding device 400 includes a second frame 410, a temporary storage mechanism 420 and a second conveying mechanism 430. The second frame 410 is arranged on one side of the second molding device 500; the temporary storage mechanism 420 is arranged on the second frame 410, and the temporary storage mechanism 420 is used to carry the semi-finished product 850 and convey the semi-finished product 850 to the second molding device 500; the second conveying mechanism 430 is arranged on the second frame 410 and is located on the side of the temporary storage mechanism 420 away from the second molding device 500.
