Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wet etching of circuit boards, in particular to an auxiliary device for wet etching processing of PCB circuit boards. Background Art

[0002] Circuit boards are a type of component that is often used in circuit processing. Circuit boards can generally be called: ceramic circuit boards, alumina ceramic circuit boards, aluminum nitride ceramic circuit boards, circuit boards, PCB boards, aluminum substrates, high-frequency boards, thick copper boards, impedance boards, PCBs, ultra-thin circuit boards, ultra-thin circuit boards, printed (copper etching technology) circuit boards, etc. They are indispensable in the production of electronic products and are commonly used parts in electronic processing; circuit boards need to be etched during processing.

[0003] Wet etching is a technology that involves immersing the etching material in a corrosive solution for etching. The main factor affecting the etching material of the circuit board during wet etching is the etching rate. In layman's terms, the etching rate is the thickness of the material removed / the time used for etching. The etching rate is often affected by temperature, bubble agitation, and the number of etching batches of the corrosive solution. In addition, the etching rates of circuit boards in different batches and at different locations will also be different.

[0004] For example, the prior art Chinese patent publication number "CN117596785B" provides an auxiliary equipment for wet etching processing of PCB circuit boards, including an etching conveyor base equipped with a driving device, end plates are fixedly provided at both ends of the etching conveyor base, etching rate detection devices are provided at the four corners of the end plates, and lifting supports are provided between the end plates for positioning and supporting the circuit boards, and an adjusting motor is provided inside the etching conveyor base.

By setting an adjusting motor, a supporting part and a joint control component, the PCB circuit board that has completed the predetermined depth of etching can be removed from the etching liquid in time, and the etching can be separated in time to avoid excessive etching and lateral etching, thereby improving the quality of the etching process.

It is not convenient to place the circuit boards outside the etching tank in advance to save time.
