Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of PCB board detection devices, in particular to a PCB board warpage detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the design, processing and manufacturing of PCB boards, there are requirements for the warpage of the board body. Excessive warpage of the board will affect the patch processing. The traditional method of checking warpage is to use a plug gauge to manually detect the warpage height on a flat and smooth marble table. However, this manual detection is inefficient, has a large error value, and is inaccurate. Therefore, there are now automated board warpage testers on the market for PCB board warpage detection. Through optical detection of the board warpage height, the equipment automatically determines whether it is qualified or unqualified, and stores the detection record results. Qualified boards are transported upwards, and unqualified boards are sent downwards, which greatly improves the detection efficiency.

[0003] However, the PCB warpage tester uses a laser displacement sensor to emit and receive lasers to implement the test. This poses a problem. When large particles of dust impurities and flocculent fiber contaminants fall on the surface of the PCB board passing through the sensor, these contaminants will affect the signal transmission and reception of the laser displacement sensor, resulting in misjudgment of the detection, thereby affecting the accuracy of the warpage test.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the fact that the dust pollutants on the surface of the above-mentioned PCB board will hinder the signal transmission and reception of the laser displacement sensor on the PCB board warpage tester, resulting in misjudgment of detection and identification, a warpage tester with a PCB board surface dust removal function can be designed.
